All the civil and military officials entered in order. When they passed the Jinshui Bridge, they saw the guards on both sides standing with their swords drawn, as tall as javelins, and the two discipline officials who looked at each official with careful eyes. Jing Qing's heart couldn't help but
He jumped up and took a few breaths of fresh air, but he always felt that he didn't have enough air.
He endured the humiliation and was ridiculed by others, and begged Yongle to surrender, not to save his life and future, but for today, to find an opportunity to assassinate the king. For the sake of the grand plan, he did not reveal his plan to anyone,
He knew what kind of punishment he would receive for such a shocking act as assassinating the emperor. Regardless of success or failure, he would be a grave sin for the Zhujiu Clan.
He also knew that the world already belonged to Emperor Yongle. Even if Emperor Yongle died, all civil and military officials would support his son. The world would not return to the hands of the Jianwen lineage because of Yongle's death. He dragged the entire family with him.
To die is just to kill one person. But this person is the emperor, he is worth it! Killing him will avenge the old master who died for the emperor, and he will be like Jing Ke, Zhuan Zhu, Zhu Hai, and Yu Rang, who will be famous throughout the ages.
Forever recorded in history!
When he got up in the middle of the night, the old wife still woke up half an hour earlier than him as usual, prepared breakfast for him, prepared clothes, waited for him to wash, then sent him to the front yard, and watched him board the car and leave.
.
His little grandson was still sleeping soundly at this time... Everything seemed to be the same as before, as calm and serene, but everything was completely different. When he pulled out the sharp blade and stabbed
The emperor's moment...
He knows that with this sting, all his relatives are destined to have a tragic ending, but everyone is destined to die. Death can be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. For the sake of justice, why not die?
After crossing the bridge, Jing Qing breathed a sigh of relief, leaving all his distracting thoughts behind. Looking at Fengtian Hall, a ball of fanatical flames surged in his eyes...
Yongle ascended the palace and began to listen to the government.
As usual, we first deal with diplomatic matters and the requests and messages from officials arriving and leaving Beijing, followed by the handling of government affairs. The Ministry of Household Affairs always has the most things to do. There are always various new changes every day in every move in the world.
.
After listening to the report from the Ministry of Household Affairs, Zhu Di said with concern: "Due to the war and insufficient relief for counties that suffered floods during the war, there were many refugees in these places. We need to reduce or reduce the money and food for these places for half a year to allow the people to settle down.
In addition, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, together with the Ministry of Works, must inspect water conservancy facilities in various places. If they need to be repaired or rebuilt, they must be reported as soon as possible.
It is not suitable for construction in the severe winter. The rains will begin to be abundant in the spring next year. We must be proactive and do these things well. But the most urgent thing right now is to allocate food and provide relief to the victims. For this, the Ministry of Revenue can do its best
Do you have any countermeasures?"
An official from the Ministry of Revenue said: "Reporting to the emperor, Jiangsu and Zhejiang alone account for 80% of the world's grain and rice, and Su Song accounts for the majority of Jiangsu and Zhejiang's grain and rice. Nowadays, these crops are harvested at least twice a year, and areas with few natural and man-made disasters have restored the old system of the Hongwu Dynasty.
The collected grain and rice are enough to meet the needs of the court next year, so the Ministry of Household Affairs can use the grain and grain stored in the warehouse to first provide relief to the people in poor and disaster-stricken areas."
Emperor Yongle became happy and praised repeatedly: "Well, the Ministry of Revenue has done a good job. The country is based on the people, and food is the first priority for the people. Letting the people starve will cause chaos in the world. The Ministry of Revenue can make proper arrangements. I hope the court will
I think, to relieve the common people's worries, officials from all ministries should learn from the Ministry of Household Affairs."
He also called officials from the Ministry of Industry and asked: "What is the current situation in the shipyards across the imperial court?"
The officials of the Ministry of Industry didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked about the ship. Fortunately, the emperor had just ascended the throne. Officials from various departments all estimated that the emperor would ask about things, so they all worked hard on their own affairs. At this time, they just wanted to show off.
The report said: "Reporting to the Emperor, we currently have Longjiang Shipyard in Jinling, Wuhumen Shipyard in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, and Dongguan Shipyard in Xinhui, Guangdong... Among them, Longjiang Shipyard is the largest shipyard, capable of manufacturing large sea-going ships, with
There are more than 400 craftsmen with the highest craftsmanship in the Ming Dynasty.
Fuzhou Shipyard mainly produces patrol battleships called Dafu Ships. Each warship can accommodate a hundred people. This type of Dafu Ship has a wide bottom, high head and stern, three-level helms, two sails and masts, and is protected by boards. It is equipped with wooden parapets and weight beds.
. All arrows and firearms can be used, and naval battles are very powerful. The "Hengjiang Ship" and "Wucao Ship" manufactured by Dongguan Shipyard are also maritime warships, called Guangzhou Ships. Although they are smaller than Fu Ships, they are more flexible and stronger and can be matched
We fight together with the Fu ships. However, because our country has always patrolled the coastal waters, the Navy does not need so many warships, and very few ocean-going ships are built. They are now mainly manufacturing water transport ships..."
After hearing the instructions, Zhu Di said: "The remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty have been fighting among themselves over the years, which has prevented them from going south in a big way. However, now that the Northern Yuan Dynasty has been split into two countries, Tatar and Oara, you must not do anything to divide them into two countries.
Second, it will weaken the power. On the contrary, a complete split will avoid internal friction, and the power of the Yuan people twisted into a rope will be stronger than before.
The nomads in the north have been our great enemy in the Central Plains since ancient times. In the past, I was ordered by Huang Kao to guard Peiping in order to deal with these ambitious northern wolves. Now I am in Jinling. In order to deal with the barbarians and maintain the number of troops stationed in Peiping, I have
Promote Peiping to Beijing and establish Peiping as the capital, so Peiping's demand for grain and rice will not decrease. Therefore, water transportation ships must be guaranteed, and canals must be continuously dredged to ensure smooth flow. Last time in Peixian, ten thousand ships were burned down at once
I am afraid that water transport will be greatly affected. These shipyards must speed up their construction. If necessary, we can build several more shipyards."
The officials from the Ministry of Industry hurriedly jotted down the key points on the wat board, saying yes again and again. Zhu Di said again: "Also, some sea warships and ocean-going ships must be built."
He smiled coldly and said: "The Japanese took advantage of our crisis to raise troops. While the Ming Dynasty Navy was focusing on one thing and not the other, they kept coming to our coast to attack and harass the people. Sooner or later, we will have to settle this account with them."
The official of the Ministry of Industry was jotting it down in a hurry while thinking to himself: "Isn't the Emperor going to use troops against Japan? The world has just stabilized. If we go on an expedition... it would be unimaginable to use troops across the sea. The cost of money and food is unimaginable. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty has great talents and great plans. The Great Sui Dynasty
The country was rich, but just because of the construction of a canal and the conquest of Japan, there was a lot of trouble, and the Sui Dynasty fell apart. When the Yuan Dynasty entered the Central Plains, it took advantage of the fierce winds across the four seas to conquer Japan across the sea.
If your vitality is severely damaged, Your Majesty, please don’t go through such a hard time."
Little did he know that Zhu Di was planning to make trouble. When Zhu Di took over Jiangshan, the country's annual horse production was only more than 20,000 horses, and only a few of them were distributed to various garrison stations. In this case, if there is a powerful cavalry
If the Lord's army fights against the Ming Dynasty, can they only stay in the city and be beaten passively? What should we do with the people who are facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky, working hard to feed you? Should we stand at the head of the city and watch them being burned, killed, raped and kidnapped?
After Zhu Di learned about the current situation of Ma Zheng, he planned to reform Ma Zheng. Next, he would also reform the farm system and the military household and guard system... He had many things to worry about in his life.
However, Zhu Di worked hard all his life and completed many huge projects that far exceeded those of the Han and Tang Dynasties. What he left to his descendants was not a mess. His son only reigned for one year and his grandson only ten years. A total of eleven years, but he was
It is called a prosperous age like Chengkang in the Zhou Dynasty and literary scenery in the Han Dynasty: the rule of Ren and Xuan!
If Zhu Di didn't leave a solid family background to his descendants, how long would it take for the two generations to create a prosperous age? Some people will get richer the more they work, and some people will get poorer.
Jing Qing listened quietly, looking for opportunities. When he first came to court, the guards on duty were at their most energetic, and it was not appropriate to take action at that time. But the guards stood there motionless, and their physical exertion was much greater than that of the officials.
, the further you get to the back, the less energy and energy you will have, and your reaction will become sluggish. His opportunity has arrived. He needs the best opportunity, the chance to succeed in one blow.
Frankly speaking, from the government discussions in the court these days, he felt that Yongle was more pragmatic than Jianwen, and he was not focused on the illusory things that Fang Xiaoru boasted about. Perhaps he was really more intelligent in governing the world than Jianwen. But no matter what
No matter how well he does, it cannot change the fact that he is a treacherous minister, he usurped the throne, and he disrupted the order of etiquette and law, and this should be the most important thing in a dynasty.
In the court, important matters were gradually being dealt with. It was almost noon and everyone was tired.
"It's time!"
Jing Qing pressed the sharp blade on his waist again, and suddenly came out of the class holding the wat, bowing and saying: "I have my own notes!"
He got up at the fourth watch and has been busy until now, and it's all mental work. He can't move casually while sitting on it. Zhu Di has been living a military career, so he has good physical strength, but he is also a little tired. There is nothing important to do in front of the civil and military officials.
Reporting the memorial, he was about to signal his chamberlain to leave the court, go back to have something to eat, and then review the piles of memorials. Suddenly he heard someone else writing the memorial. When he took a closer look, he recognized it was Jing Qing, and Zhu Di suddenly became happy.
Jingqing once served as a counselor in the Beiping Mansion, and his character and ability were extremely outstanding. Zhu Di valued him very much and he was willing to obey, which made Zhu Di very happy. However, since Jingqing returned to the court, he has not read a book in the past few days.
He made a national policy suggestion, which was a bit like Xu Shu entering Cao Ying. Zhu Di took it all into heart. He knew that Jing Qing was still a little confused, and he only hoped that he could slowly figure it out. Now that Jing Qing is out of office to discuss politics, it is obvious that he wants to serve him.
Yes, Zhu Di was naturally happy.
Zhu Di immediately sat up straight and said pleasantly: "Jing Qing, please tell me something."
Jing Qing stepped forward step by step, holding the wat in both hands, without raising his head, and said loudly: "This is a secret memorial."
"oh?"
Not only Zhu Di, but also the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty immediately cheered up.
Secret memorials cannot be spoken publicly in the court. Such memorials must be about extremely important events. What secret events does he have to report? Everyone's attention suddenly focused on him, and Zhu Di also looked serious.
He quickly raised his hand.
Mu En immediately walked down the imperial steps quickly, stretched out his hands, and waited to receive Jing Qing's memorial.
Jing Qing held the wat in both hands and walked slowly down the imperial steps. He held the wat in his left hand and put his right hand into his arms to touch the memorial. Suddenly, he raised his eyes, his eyes were sharp, and murderous intent surged out!
Mu En was startled, Jing Qing's hand was violently pulled out by the wat board, and there was a "pop!". Mu En's face turned red as he was caught off guard, and he staggered when he was slapped. Jing Qing rushed up to the imperial steps, holding his right hand
A sharp short knife was drawn from the middle.
All the civil and military officials in the court were in an uproar, and they were all shocked for a moment.
The four guards with swords pulled out their swords, jumped up, and rushed towards the imperial case.
Zhu Di, who has been a soldier all his life and has experienced hundreds of battles, seemed to be stunned by Jing Qing's actions. He had enough time to stand up and get out of the way, or use something to distract him, but when he saw Jing Qing rushing towards him with a sharp knife and gnashing his teeth, he remained motionless.
.
He was still sitting there upright, his eyes seemed frightened, angry, and filled with some unspeakable pain and anger. He watched Jing Qing widen his eyes and stab him fiercely with the sharp dagger.
