Chapter 108 The assassination case of the mission! Chaoyang Academy is listed!
The night is dark.
"Your Majesty, the patrol camp has come to report that Lama Qianjia has been stabbed to death!" Feng Xiao looked horrified.
When Zhu Qiyu was woken up from his sleep, he immediately became energetic.
"Cao Jixiang did it?" Zhu Qiyu took a sip of water to calm down.
"Returning to the emperor, it was not Eunuch Cao who did it. Eunuch Cao also received the news and quickly reported it to the palace. The lama of Miaoying Temple was also assassinated. Fortunately, Lama Zog was at a believer's home and not in the temple, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
!”
This Zog Lama came from Ganden Monastery and was the Gelug lama stationed in Beijing. Zhu Qiyu invited him to the palace many times to explain Buddhism.
The patrol battalion dared to suppress Taoist monks, but stopped short of attacking Fan monks. It was because of Wushen's special status!
"Who did it?" Zhu Qiyu sat on the couch with cold eyes.
"To return to the emperor, Dongchang sent someone to send a message, suspecting that it was the Wala mission." Feng Xiao replied in a low voice.
"Wala Mission? Why did they kill the monks?" Zhu Qiyu was puzzled.
Wala is no longer the great Yuan Dynasty it once was, and has no ambition to annex the world. What good will it do to kill Fanseng, apart from making the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Wala more rigid?
It was just a few Fan monks who were assassinated. Will Wushen cut off tribute to the Ming Dynasty because of this?
Starting from the Yongle Dynasty, the nominal sovereignty of Wushuang was transferred to the Ming Dynasty, and Wushuang was nominally the territory of the Ming Dynasty!
"I don't know, I don't know, there is no detailed information from Dongchang yet." Feng Xiao said in a low voice.
"Where is Jin Yiwei?"
"Replying to the emperor, there is no news from Jinyiwei yet!" Feng Xiao reported back.
Zhu Qiyu nodded, Dongchang had done a good job. The spies had been placed in the temple, which showed his control.
"Your Majesty, it's almost time, it's time to go to court!"
"Please wait for me to wash up."
Zhu Qiyu is no longer sleepy. He has been extravagant recently. He has added eggs for breakfast, and some meat for lunch and dinner. The structure of the Shangshi Bureau has also been established, and it will be able to operate normally soon.
"Feng Xiao, you personally keep an eye on the Shangshi Bureau. The new imperial chef doesn't understand the rules of the palace, so you personally teach him."
"Any royal chef or kitchen servant must be registered and everyone must be verified before being allowed to enter the palace."
"There is no need to bring in tens of thousands of people like before, just recruit a few hundred people first, as long as they are enough."
On the way to court, Zhu Qiyu gave instructions.
He looked at Zheng Youyi, the bearer of the sedan chair, and said, "Zheng Youyi, you go and become the supervising eunuch of the Food Supervisor."
"My slave, thank you for your kindness!" Zheng Youyi's eyes lit up, it was finally his turn to be promoted by the emperor.
"What's going on outside of the Shangshan Supervisor? Don't worry about it for now. Let me take care of the Shangshan Supervisor, and then I can rectify the Shangshan Supervisor. Do you understand?"
"My slave understands!"
Zhu Qiyu gave a few more instructions and entered the Fengtian Hall.
In the morning.
"Cabinet, is there any news from Shandong?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty, there is no news yet." Li Xian replied.
When Zhu Qiyu saw Ye Sheng in court, he immediately asked: "How are the resettlement of the refugees going?"
"Your Majesty, I will resettle some of the refugees in Chaoyang City and send some of them back to their place of origin. Shangshu Shi, in cooperation with the Ministry of Household Affairs, is checking the abandoned acres of land and preparing to allocate the land to the refugees and resettle them on site."
Saying that, Ye Sheng presented a memorial.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at it and nodded slightly: "Ye Qing did a good job. The land conscripted for the construction of official residences in the court must also be compensated."
"When the roads are widened in the city, compensation must be given to the farmland occupied. After all, we have occupied other people's houses, so we can give them more."
"I don't allow anyone to line their own pockets. The General Secretary will send someone to follow."
"I obey the decree!" Wang Fu stood up and said, recommending Feng Guanqing as the right counselor.
Feng Guanqing and Zhu Qiyu knew this and said "yes".
"The school building in Licaolan Factory has also been built. I named it Chaoyang School. The students are temporarily divided into three grades. I plan to have four subjects: liberal arts, martial arts, miscellaneous subjects and medicine. Children in the first grade will study at the same time.
The four subjects are divided into classes in the second grade, focusing on miscellaneous subjects and medical subjects."
Zhu Qiyu plans to cultivate professional talents.
The reason why we chose these children from poor families was because we had no choice but to do so.
When they heard that the majors were miscellaneous subjects and medicine, the scholar-bureaucrats immediately lost interest. In the end, these children were still weak-legged.
"I will personally serve as the wine worshipper for Chaoyang Academy."
"The children who walk out of Chaoyang Academy are all disciples of the Emperor and are my students!"
"When these children achieve success in their studies, I, as the teacher, will be honored!"
Zhu Qiyu finished speaking.
However, the courtiers had little interest and thought that they were inferior in everything but good at reading. This idea was deeply ingrained and could not be changed by the emperor's few words.
After listing the sign today, he went to see these children in person after the morning meeting.
Zhu Qiyu was somewhat uninterested, and the courtiers lacked interest, so they naturally looked down upon the craftsmen.
"Your Majesty, the assassination of a monk in the capital has caused an uproar. I have asked the three law departments to jointly investigate and give Wushen an explanation!" Lin Cong said loudly.
"What do Mr. Lin Ge think about the assassination of Monk Fan?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"this……"
Lin Cong glanced at the emperor secretly: "I think this is to ruin the relationship between the dynasty and Wushen. As we all know, Lama Qianjia and Lama Zog are both frequent visitors to the palace, but they were both assassinated. Lama Qianjia was unlucky."
"Moreover, the time of the assassination coincides with the time when the Wala mission entered Beijing."
"That's why I think we should start with the Wala Mission." Lin Cong said bluntly.
The ministers nodded.
The city ban in central Beijing has not yet come into contact, and temples and temples are still collecting money and food and paying taxes to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Moreover, the assassination was so highly oriented, and it was all aimed at Fan Monk, so the murderer could be seen clearly at a glance.
Dongchang was also suspicious.
"Wei Chen reconsiders!"
Bai Gui left work and knelt on the ground: "Wei Chen thinks that if the Wala people can kill people in the capital, there must be spies' dens. Why don't the factory guards take this opportunity to clear out the dens!"
"allow."
After a few more discussions, they retreated.
Tomorrow is the court meeting held on the 15th day of every month, and the Wala mission will officially enter the court tomorrow.
After going down to court, Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes and was puzzled.
Do the Oara people really want to take over the Central Plains?
It shouldn’t be, there is no khan in Oala, even Ye Xian is dead, Oala is falling apart, even if we give them a great kingdom, they still don’t have anyone who can take over the world!
Why are you still plotting against Wushen?
There is too little information collected now to make a correct judgment for the time being.
On the way down to the court, Jin Yiwei sent information.
Details of Bidong Factory.
"Xuan Zhouxuan enters the palace." Zhu Qiyu suddenly said.
This Zhou Xuan is the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment and is famous for his good handling of cases.
Tan Yunxian came over to get a pulse.
Zhu Qiyu looked at her: "How is my health?"
"Your Majesty's health is better than I expected. I will increase the dosage of the prescription for you." Tan Yunxian was not wearing a hat, and was dressed in plain clothes. The plain clothes were fluttering, which suited her style.
"When can I make a woman fall in love?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
"Follow my concubine's prescription and it will take three months." Tan Yunxian said truthfully.
It was said that half a year had passed, but now two months have passed and three months are still needed. The original owner has really done a lot of harm to his body and bones.
"Chaoyang Academy has been listed. I plan to focus on miscellaneous subjects and medicine." Zhu Qiyu said softly.
"Really?" Tan Yunxian looked happy.
Zhu Qiyu took her hand and said, "Come for a walk with me."
Walking in the temple.
"I plan to select some smart ones from the refugee women to learn medical skills from you." Zhu Qiyu said softly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Tan Yunxian was about to salute, but Zhu Qiyu pulled her back: "Without ceremony, can you compile what you have learned into a textbook? What is a textbook? It is something that is easy to understand, does not require powerful medical knowledge, and can cure some common diseases. .”
"The palace will let you compile it first. When you finish it, the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital will be recruited. I will take it to them and brainstorm ideas. After the compilation is successful, I will mark your name on this textbook and publish it all over the world!"
"Is it possible?"
Zhu Qiyu tilted his head and looked at her, she looked excited.
Writing a book and talking about it! That is something that even a scholar would not dare to think about, let alone a mere woman like her?
"It's not about writing a book, but about easy-to-understand teaching materials. Ahem, I'm afraid if the teaching materials get out, you will get a bad reputation." Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly.
"How could that happen?" Tan Yunxian was puzzled.
Because scholars all like obscure books, especially books whose editors are women, they must be scolded as unclean.
"I am not afraid of a bad reputation. As long as I can serve His Majesty, I am willing!" Tan Yunxian is very smart.
After some advice from Fei Chong that day, she knew that after this harem, those who were favored by the emperor in the sixth palace would not be able to withstand old age and decline, and would eventually lose the king's favor one day.
If you can capture the king's heart with your skills, it will be a lifetime achievement.
Zhu Qiyu's face showed a look of satisfaction: "I trust you the most. If you let those doctors compile it, you will definitely be able to deal with it. This is one of them;"
"The second is that I intend to improve the status of doctors. Although you are not a lady now, one day you will become a concubine. If you are a doctor and become a concubine, it will be enough to make the world's doctors look up."
"I took advantage of you, and I feel guilty." Zhu Qiyu patted the back of her hand.
"I am willing!" Tan Yunxian said with a smile on his face.
In fact, even if she was really scolded, it would never reach her ears. Being able to win the emperor's favor through this was worth more than anything else.
Zhu Qiyu pulled her up and said, "When you enter the palace, I will make you a chosen servant."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"Why are you so polite to me? I have said that I do not regard you as a concubine. I am a concubine and know the suffering of a concubine and a concubine. My suffering will never let my children make the same mistakes again." Zhu Qiyu said some beautiful words. .
Tan Yunxian was very happy, and she rubbed her temples together and said some sweet words.
Only then did Zhu Qiyu let him go.
Lin Yu saw it and felt jealous in his heart.
On the contrary, Hu Guiju's face remained as usual.
Those who serve in Qianqing Palace are all daughters of important ministers.
There are not many people who want to climb up Longchuang, such as Lin Yu and Wang Zhi's granddaughter Wang Yunlan.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Hu Guiju.
At this time, Zhou Xuan asked to see him.
"Xuan come in."
Soon, Zhou Xuan came in and saluted.
"The assassination of an eminent monk is a major event for the country. I plan to send you to investigate. Are you sure you can find out the truth?" Zhu Qiyu said bluntly.
Zhou Xuan kowtowed and said calmly: "Your Majesty, how long should you give me?"
"The sooner the better, I can ask the factory guards to cooperate with you." Zhu Qiyu said.
"Wei Chen is not sure. There are two reasons. One is that time is too tight and there is no way to conduct an in-depth investigation. The other is that the Wala mission has no motive to kill Fan Monk, so asking me to investigate can only expand the search area. It is necessary to
time."
Zhou Xuan was also calm and did not take over everything.
Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with his attitude in doing practical things.
If you just flatter him, he will feel uneasy.
Zhu Qiyu sent him the investigation results sent by Jin Yiwei.
After Zhou Xuan read it, he frowned and meditated.
Zhu Qiyu waited for his results, but he was not in a hurry and continued to review the memorial.
"Your Majesty! I'm afraid I have a bolder guess that is different from everyone else's!"
Zhou Xuan is a master at solving crimes.
In the thirteenth year of Zhengtong's reign, Shunde Prefecture sent in prisoners, up to 800 people a day. Zhou Xuan was worried that they would suffer from heatstroke, so he tried and deported them all within three days.
The mission's assassination of Monk Fan successfully aroused his interest, and he was eager to try it.
"I'll give you three days, can you get to the bottom of it?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"My lord, I would like to give it a try!" Zhou Xuan kowtowed.
"Okay, order Dongchang, Jin Yiwei to cooperate with Zhou Xuan, and the three law officials to cooperate with you Zhou Xuan. After three days, I want to see the truth!"
Zhu Qiyu then said to Feng Xiao: "Instruct Honglu Temple to arrange the Wala envoys, and we will have them visit again in the morning three days later."
"My slave obeys the order." Feng Xiao agreed.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhou Xuan: "Tell me the truth in the morning at Fengtian Palace in three days' time!"
"I obey the order!" Zhou Xuan agreed and left.
afternoon.
Zhu Qiyu went to Chaoyang Academy, the original Caolan Factory.
The school building is listed.
The layout of the school building is relatively simple. The open space is not paved with cobblestones, but the soil is simply compacted. A stone tablet is erected at the door, but no writing has been engraved on it.
Zhu Qiyu entered on foot, accompanied by Chen Shao and Yu Mian.
The children were both old and young, and all of them were sallow and thin. You could tell at a glance that they were children from poor families.
Seeing the emperor, his little eyes were full of fear.
Zhu Qiyu even saw no light in their eyes, only numbness.
Currently, the ones in charge of these children are Hanlin, Zhou Jian, Liu Zisu, He Wei, Li Jun, and Tao Fu, all of whom were Jinshi in the second year of Jingtai and were personally appointed by Zhu Qiyu.
"In the past few days, I have been busy in the school. What do you think?" Zhu Qiyu called them together and asked.
Zhou Jian's great-grandfather Zhou Qiqian, grandfather Zhou Zhixiao, and father Zhou Jiamian were all officials, so he was much more mature than others.
"To answer your Majesty, most of these children come to this school just for food. They don't know what sages' books are. These people have been insensitive since they were young. Even if they are taught well, they will not be able to become capable talents."
Supervisor Zhou was very courageous and dared to directly expose the emperor's shortcomings.
Because he had studied the emperor and the emperor was always good, so he used this to please the emperor.
"Therefore, Your Majesty has the wisdom to teach these children the art of craftsmanship and medicine."
"Weichen has observed that these children who come from difficult backgrounds care more about their stomachs, their pockets, and getting rewards from what they have learned, rather than having lofty ideals."
"Li Hanlin taught them the sages' calligraphy, and they were drowsy. However, the engraving craftsmen from the Royal Trading Company taught them how to engrave blocks. Instead, they were all fascinated and wanted to join the Royal Trading Company to make money immediately."
After listening to Zhou Jian's words, the corners of Zhu Qiyu's mouth turned up.
Children from poor families become parents early.
If you pursue what you put in, you must be rewarded, and you are not willing to pay in the long term, so you are short-sighted.
"What do you think?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
"If everyone in the world is like this, the country will not be a country!" Zhou Jian said in a loud voice.
Zhu Qiyu smiled, the world was bustling, it was all for profit, everyone was like this.
"His Majesty!"
When He Wei saw Supervisor Zhou directly inviting him by name, his mind changed and he immediately said: "I know that Your Majesty wants to improve the status of craftsmen, but if everyone in the world is a craftsman, who will the products produced be sold to?"
Do you still understand inflation?
Zhu Qiyu had a very weak impression of Hewei. This Hewei was average-looking and not outstanding in knowledge. He was born in the 40th place in the second class of Jingtai in the second year.
"Then what do you think?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
Hewei presented a memorial. The paper was yellowed and the handwriting was uneven. It had obviously been written for a long time.
After Zhu Qiyu read it, he discussed the causes of inflation in his memorial.
"Yes, it's not finished yet, but it's in the right direction."
Zhu Qiyu put the finishing touch: "This is inflation. Everything in the world will be like this, and the way to solve inflation is nothing more than expanding the market and promoting production."
Hewei's eyes lit up, and the words "inflation" perfectly explained the content of his thousands-word long discussion, which was precise, concise and comprehensive.
"May I ask Your Majesty, what does expanding the market mean?"
Zhu Qiyu also wanted to explain that the problem was that he had limited knowledge in his mind: "There is no solution yet. The country is still in the deflation stage. We will not discuss inflation until there are too many commodities and the purchasing power drops."
appropriate."
Deflation?
He Wei was thoughtful. He thought that what he had learned was enough to be heretical, but he did not think of the emperor's idea. It was simply deviant!
Yes, everyone including Zhou Jian was shocked by the emperor.
But I was not shocked by the emperor’s accurate choice of words, but I was shocked by the emperor’s deviance!
You, a majestic emperor, do not read the books of sages and study inflation and deflation. Are you mentally ill?
However, Chen Jiayou knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, please read more books of sages and never learn this heresy!"
His words resonated with Zhou Jian and others.
Zhu Qiyu was stunned.
He valued this Chen Jiayou very much.
In the fifth year of Jingtai's reign, the Department of Revenue was unable to use money smoothly. It also happened to be flooded, and the rivers were clogged with water. It was a disastrous situation.
Chen Jiayou wrote an admonishment, and there is a sentence that Zhu Qiyu still remembers freshly: "Get rid of redundant officials, eliminate redundant soldiers, save useless expenses, give away rewards for unproductive work, stop unnecessary tasks, and prohibit people from traveling and eating."
"I'm just chatting with Hanlin. How can I talk about abandoning the books of sages?" Zhu Qiyu smiled and asked him to get up.
But Chen Jiayou insisted: "Your Majesty, please take this as a forbidden book. No one in the government or the public is allowed to learn from it. The Ming Dynasty should be based on agriculture, and the rest should be second. It must not be shaken!"
Zhu Qiyu narrowed his eyes, there are such defenders everywhere.
It can't be changed by killing Chen Xun.
"Then according to Chen Qing's intention, blocking is the main thing?" Zhu Qiyu asked him, leaning on the backrest.
"Wei Chen only knows that the country and the dynasty..."
Chen Jiayou gave a long and eloquent speech.
He Sheng lay on the ground and screamed secretly that he should not submit this memorial to His Majesty, for fear that his reputation as an imperial scholar would be lost!
Because of Chen Jiayou's long speech, other Hanlin officials nodded. They all thought that what he said was reasonable and admired his integrity. He dared to contradict the king. He was really a role model for our generation.
"Enough!"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly shouted: "Goods are closely related to the people! It is better to defend the people than to defend the river! Don't you understand?"
"When did I say I gave up agriculture? When did I say I would focus on commerce?"
"Are you blind? Or deaf? Didn't you see how many merchants died in Gyeonggi?"
"I'll tell you my own story."
"But you use a direct invitation and treat my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs! Do you want to step on me and fulfill your reputation?"
"Is this how the sages tell you to serve your father?"
"good!"
"If you want to treat this book as a banned book, then I will let you copy it ten thousand times!"
"You don't have to do anything. Just kneel here and copy it. After copying it ten thousand times, submit it to me. If there is a typo, copy it ten thousand times again!"
"After you finish copying, and you understand it, go to Qinzheng Hall to see me again!"
Zhu Qiyu stood up and walked out of the house angrily. Then he suddenly remembered that the matter of coming to the school had not been settled yet.
Walking in again, he saw Supervisor Zhou and others trembling.
Snap!
Zhu Qiyu threw the statement he wrote on the ground: "According to what I wrote, after three months, I want to see these children look like human beings, and I will come and see these children again!"
"No inscriptions are allowed on the stele in the courtyard. When a great talent comes out of Chaoyang Academy, he will inscribe it himself. This stele will be reserved for the first person in Chaoyang Academy!"
"Also, I will send some craftsmen, doctors, and even merchants to teach in the school. You must not make things difficult. Don't forget that the sacrificial wine in this school is mine."
After leaving the school, Zhu Qiyu's spirits were waning and he was in a bad mood.
There were so many defenders, and he had just taken back the imperial power and burned three fierce fires, and this was still the case.
What if my authority declines?
Will reform continue?
…
Huitong Hall.
"You're really not one of us?" Chu Lujin looked in disbelief.
He heard that Fan Monk was assassinated and thought that his people had succeeded, but Abiyasi said that it was not their people who did it.
"You've asked me several times, it's really not true."
Abiyasi smiled bitterly: "We have fallen into a trap."
"Who would plot against us?" Chu Lujin seems reckless, but he is a subtle person.
He suddenly thought of something.
When they were on their mission, the Tatar traitor Brugo came to Borona Hall and told them that there were many Buddhist temples on the grassland, but the Buddhist monks were far away in Wushen, with the Ming Dynasty in between.
If the Ming Dynasty uses Fan monks to control Mobei, the collapse of the Oara Empire is imminent.
Therefore, Boronahale, who wanted to be the Khan of the Wala Empire, sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it was to assassinate the Pan monk lama and sow discord between the Ming Dynasty and Ussun.
"It's Tatar!"
Chu Lujin's face changed greatly: "Brother Bru didn't really surrender to his father at all! Instead, he had evil intentions and took the opportunity to drive a wedge between Wala and Daming! That must be the case!"
When Abiyasi was shocked, she didn't notice Chulujin's name.
"The Tatars are provoking, they want to make a profit!"
Abiyasi was even more horrified: "If our credentials are read out in the Ming Dynasty Hall, I'm afraid it will provoke the Ming Emperor to personally conquer Oara... It's over! The king has fallen into a Tatar trap! Damn Bro, he is a spy.
!”
"Certificate of credence, yes, damn Bruge, he drafted the credential himself. He said that he deliberately provoked Ming's anger..."
Chu Lujin could no longer calm down.
————
I suddenly developed a fever in the afternoon. I haven't been out yet. I just ordered a takeaway today and I got a fever after eating it. It might be the goat...
I don't have any symptoms, just a fever.
That's all for today. I took the medicine and owe 4,000 words. I will pay back the debt of 2,000 words every day for the next two days.
I have a fever. I don’t know if it’s a sheep. I owe four thousand and I’ll pay the debt tomorrow...
