Chapter 69: Take away the Yongshou Palace cooking utensils and add some meat to the Empress Dowager! A shocking secret! The tragic situation of the orphans of those who died in the war!
Yongshou Palace.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pretty face, how did it end up like this? Eunuch Shu is too merciless, tsk, tsk!"
Xu Gan surrounded Ye Shanggong and smacked his lips, staring at her mouth, unable to help but laugh.
"Go away!"
Ye Shanggong didn't dare to open her mouth for fear of scaring others and fearing others would laugh at her.
But because she had no teeth, her lips were shriveled. In order not to be seen differently, she forced her mouth to puff out and pretend to have teeth.
"I heard that you were promoted to the imperial palace, but our family hasn't congratulated you yet?"
Xu Gan stood in front of Ye Shanggong: "Come on, open your mouth and let us take a look."
"Get out!" Ye Shanggong shut up and growled, refusing to open his mouth.
"We are here to read the Holy Spirit's decree, and you tell us to get lost? Are you insulting the Holy Spirit?" Xu Gan used the topic to play on.
Ye Shanggong's expression changed. If he doesn't get out, why don't I avoid him?
Xu Gan stood up and blocked her way.
"Open your mouth and learn from our family, ah!" Xu Gan opened his mouth.
Ye Shanggong felt bitter for a while, and his eyes were full of hatred. He lowered his head and refused to look.
"Shang Gong, how do you usually eat? Do you eat with your mouth closed? How do you usually train the slaves in the palace? Do you train with your mouth closed?"
"We are all old friends. I remember that we worked under you back then. Speaking of which, Ye Shanggong was very kind to our family!"
"Open your mouth and show us, I promise we won't laugh at you."
Xu Gan wanted to take revenge, and when she hid again, he blocked her with his body and refused to let her go: "Where are you going? The Holy Spirit has given instructions, do you dare to go?"
Ye Shanggong stared at him and said with his mouth closed: "Eunuch Xu, don't be arrogant when you don't succeed!"
"Yo yo yo, your tone will be different after you get promoted! Your Majesty, please hurry up and punish this servant!"
Xu Gan's face changed instantly and he said in a deep voice: "Ye Shanggong, it's up to you to read the edict!"
You laughed at me, but you won’t let me go!
Ye Shanggong suddenly opened his mouth.
"Oh my God!"
Xu Gan was so exaggerated that he took a few steps back, his face turned pale, and he pointed at Ye Shanggong's mouth: "Shut it! Shut it! You're going to scare our family to death!"
Ye Shanggong burst into tears!
It was obviously you who forced me to open my mouth, why do you still blame me?
Xu Gan patted his chest in horror: "Oh my god, just your smile will scare your own mother to death. Ye Shanggong, you should keep your mouth shut from now on. Don't open it. Our family will be frightened to death."
You're scared to death."
"Go to hell!" Ye Shanggong scolded him angrily and opened his mouth.
Xu Gan retched for a while: "I can't do it anymore, Zhao Shun, please get us a cup of tea to calm down our shock. Our hearts are pounding and thumping. It's so scary."
"You haven't seen it, I'm sure you'll have nightmares if you see it!"
His expression was very exaggerated, and he danced around describing Ye Shanggong's mouth, which caused a burst of laughter.
Ye Shanggong was trembling all over and couldn't leave yet. He saw with his own eyes the eunuchs of Qianqing Palace laughing at her.
Even the palace servants serving in Yongshou Palace also looked sideways, with more sarcasm in their eyes.
She is not as good as Nie Shanggong. She is greedy for money and mean. She often asks for favors, but the palace people are not convinced by her.
But she is so petty that she can’t stand the ridicule in the spotlight!
"Shang Gong, let's go and read the edict with our family!" Xu Gan drank a cup of tea before slowly walking into the main hall of Yongshou Palace.
In the main hall, Queen Mother Sun was sitting upright with a gloomy face, knowing that this useless person would still have tricks.
But so what?
His biological mother took the lead in opposing him. How much authority does he still have in this harem?
I heard that 50,000 people from the Beijing camp have already left the capital. In a few days, all the 150,000 soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp will leave the capital. How many days does he have to live a good life?
After listening to Xu Gan read the edict, she remained calm.
"Empress Dowager, I'm going to clear the palace." Xu Gan said calmly.
"Humph!"
Empress Dowager Sun sneered: "Is the emperor looking at the Ai family as an eyesore? Does he want to drive the Ai family out of the palace? Okay, the Ai family will go to the court and ask the civil and military officials, when has the Ai family, our aunt, ever treated the emperor harshly? The emperor wants to To humiliate our family like this?"
"What a cheap servant! You won't kneel down when you see the Ai family!"
Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and cold light shot out: "The Ai family sees that it is you, a wretched servant, who is sowing discord in front of the emperor! You can't see the harmony between the mother and son of the Tian family! You tricked the emperor into giving a speech to separate the mother and son of the Tian family! Drag them out! Beat them! Beat them to death. Until then!"
She first gave Xu Gan a warning.
Xu Gan, however, remained calm and allowed himself to be dragged along: "This slave is just a dog. The Queen Mother and Queen Mother will beat her whenever she wants and punish her whenever she wants. This slave has a low life and dare not avenge her."
"But the emperor's imperial edict clearly states that anyone who has not left the palace before dark tonight will be killed!"
"You know the emperor's temper better than this slave!"
Xu Gan actually laughed at the Empress Dowager Sun and said generously: "The Empress Dowager, please beat me to death!"
Queen Mother Sun's eyes suddenly bulged, that useless man went crazy, and his slaves also went crazy!
How dare you mock the Ai family? Do you think the Ai family is just paper?
"You're just a slave, if you don't kneel down when you see the Ai family, if you are disrespectful to the Ai family, even if the emperor protects you, the Ai family will beat you to death! Beat! Let's see how hard you talk!"
Empress Dowager Sun shouted angrily: "The Ai family still doesn't believe it. When the emperor said that he would clear the palace, he would clear his aunt's palace first?"
"The father of the Ming Dynasty set an example and took the lead in being unfilial! The Ai family wants to see how he faces the world? How he faces his ancestors!"
"You humble servant! Don't forget, the Ai family is the emperor's direct mother! How can I allow you to be so presumptuous!"
The board was swung down, Xu Gan gritted his teeth and kept silent, but a strange smile appeared on his face: "Returning to the Queen Mother, I heard that the emperor wanted to clean up the palace. Several concubines sympathized with the emperor for his hard work and felt guilty for the late emperor, so they have gone
Serving the late emperor..."
Suddenly, Empress Dowager Sun stood up, her face changing sharply: "What, what did you say? Concubine, have you gone to serve the late emperor?"
After the death of the late emperor, she personally drew up the list of concubines to be buried. All those who competed with her for favor were sent to accompany the late emperor. The remaining few were her dogs, and they had no heirs outside the palace, so they posed no threat to her.
, so he stayed in the palace to accompany her to relieve her boredom and make suggestions.
But I didn’t expect that useless person to be so ruthless and send the concubine on her way first!
Is he crazy?
That’s the concubine, his concubine!
Just kill them if you tell them to. If word spreads, won’t you be afraid of being stabbed in the spine?
"Empress Dowager Holy Mother, I forgot to tell you that Yongshou Palace was the last Qing Palace, and the first Qing Palace was Xian'an Palace! It was the palace of Empress Dowager Wu!"
"You are the only one who doesn't listen to the imperial edict and suppresses the imperial edict with Yi's decree!"
"My slave is a guy who got stabbed. I don't know who is right and who is wrong? But the scholar who wants to come to the court will not talk to you!"
Xu Gan smiled evilly.
Bah!
The Tang Pozi in Queen Mother Sun's hand fell to the ground.
The emperor is so cruel that he won’t even spare his biological mother!
Does he also want the Aijia to accompany the late emperor?
Suddenly, her body began to tremble, the emperor was crazy, a madman, he did things without considering the consequences!
He would not consider the stability of the court. Maybe he just wanted to vent, so he would kill the Ai family, because the emperor is a madman, not pretending to be mad!
Go and tell Queen Mother Wu to come here! Go and plead with her son! You can’t kill the Ai family, the Ai family doesn’t want to die!
Snap!
The wooden stick fell, Xu felt blood on his butt, but there was a crazy smile on his face.
"Holy Mother, you can't fight, you can't fight!"
Ye Shanggong fell to the ground, hugged Queen Mother Sun's legs, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is going to take action against you, Holy Mother, Your Majesty is going to take action! Please cut off all contact with outside the palace and do as Your Majesty requires. From now on
From now on, don’t do anything! Holy Mother, you have to think about yourself!”
As soon as she spoke, her toothless mouth was exposed. Looking at it at a glance, Queen Mother Sun felt nauseated and nodded while suppressing the discomfort.
She waved her hand to make people stop giving Xu Gan a slap in the face, and said in a pretentious manner: "Damn you bitch, the Ai family is going to clean things up for the emperor today, so I will spare your life first and go do your work."
But Xu Gan was lying on the ground and couldn't get up. He didn't express gratitude or speak. He just smiled at the Empress Dowager Sun with a weird and crazy smile.
Empress Dowager Sun was so laughed that her head went numb: "Drag him out! The Ai family doesn't want to see him!"
"The Queen Mother, the Emperor has spoken. No fire is allowed in each palace. Food is rationed. Each palace has rations based on people!"
Xu Gan was so courageous that he dared to look directly at Queen Mother Sun: "I have prepared food for Yongshou Palace, Zhao Shun, move in!"
Soon, the eunuch Zhao Shun brought in a bag of uncooked rice, bowed and left.
"This is the cost of half a month in Yongshou Palace."
Xu Gan endured the pain and stood up and saluted: "I will take away all the cooking utensils, flints, etc. in the palace. Please bear with the Queen Mother for the time being. When the Holy Spirit comes from the Holy Spirit, I will return all the cooking utensils. I thank the Queen Mother."
Grace!"
After saying this, he knelt on the ground and bowed before standing up.
Empress Dowager Sun suddenly stood up, pointed at the rice bag, and shouted: "Without cooking utensils, are you going to let the Ai family eat?"
"This is the emperor's wish! All the palaces eat like this, the Holy Mother and the Queen Mother will just bear with it for the time being." Xu Gan's face was full of gloating.
The emperor took away the cooking utensils without permission. He deliberately made it difficult for the empress dowager. Maybe the empress dowager had good teeth and could eat uncooked rice.
"The other palaces also took away the cooking utensils?"
Empress Dowager Sun pointed at Xu Gan and said angrily: "You are a dead eunuch, how dare you take revenge on the Ai family? The Ai family is the emperor's legitimate mother! How dare you abuse the Ai family?"
Plop!
Xu Gan actually knelt on the ground, looking as if he was so angry that he would not pay for his life: "I beg the Holy Mother and Queen Mother to kill this slave! To vent her dissatisfaction!"
"You, you!"
Empress Dowager Sun was furious: "Are you really the Ai family who dare not kill you?"
Xu Gan looked at her, as if to say, come and kill! Come and kill!
If you kill the slave, the emperor will avenge the slave. If I kill you, is your life worth more, or is the slave’s life worth more?
"This slave wants to die. Please pray to the Holy Mother and the Queen Mother to fulfill your wish!" Xu Gan was so angry that he refused to pay for it with his life.
"Get out! Get out! Get out of Aijia!"
Queen Mother Sun was furious.
Can it be killed?
As long as Xu Gan is killed, the emperor will come to Yongshou Palace to make a fuss. If the emperor goes crazy and kills her regardless of the consequences, who will she cry to?
Looking at the mad Queen Mother Sun, Xu Gan actually grinned: "I thank the Queen Mother for not killing me! I wish the Queen Mother a long life!"
"Get out! Get out of the Ai family! The Ai family doesn't want to see you!" Queen Mother Sun was so angry that she coughed and tears flowed out unsatisfactorily.
Even a eunuch dares to look down on the majestic Queen Mother! My son, when will you be able to enter the palace and make the decision for my mother? I have suffered enough!
Xu Gan kowtowed and slowly left the main hall.
Empress Dowager Sun never even looked at him. This damn eunuch was so annoying.
Ye Shanggong opened the rice bag and his eyes almost popped out: "Holy Mother, it's all bad rice, and there's sand in it. How do you eat this? Yeah!"
Queen Mother Sun trembled all over and glanced subconsciously. There was sand in the Chen Mi, but if she looked closely, why was the sand moving? It was moving back and forth.
"Bug, bug?"
Queen Mother Sun sat down on the ground in shock, pointed at the bag of rice, and said in horror: "Yes, there are bugs! There are bugs in this rice! That useless person is going to torture the Ai family to death! Ahhhh!"
Her eyes darkened and she fainted from anger.
Outside the main hall, Xu Gan drove away the palace attendants from Yongshou Palace.
Only four people were allowed to stay. Even if someone was hiding in the Yongshou Palace, the rations would not be enough. He only gave enough rations for five people to barely starve to death. If there was one more, all five people would starve to death.
Hearing that the Empress Dowager fainted from anger, Xu Gan laughed unkindly, causing the wound to be affected and grinning in pain.
There was no imperial doctor in the palace, and the Empress Dowager was so angry that she had to fight on her own. No one could save her, and if she accidentally traveled westward, she could only blame herself for her bad life.
But good people don’t live long, and harm lasts for thousands of years. How could such a good person as the Queen Mother die?
Our family is kind-hearted. No other palace has meat. Our family specially adds meat to the Yongshou Palace. I believe the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother will like it, hehe!
"Everyone, please be smart and don't disturb the Queen Mother!"
"I heard that the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother fainted with joy because she ate meat!"
"Whoever dares to disturb the Holy Mother Queen Mother will be chopped into pieces by our family! Do you hear me?"
"Get out of the palace quickly!"
Xu Gan raised his voice so loud that everyone in the palace could hear it.
He stabbed the Empress Dowager severely.
These palace people will definitely spread the good news outside the palace, and the empress dowager's good reputation may be even better.
……
Xinuange.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes widened. This secret was hard for him to accept.
"Qin Shangfu, are you kidding me?" Zhu Qiyu couldn't digest this secret.
He always thought that he had seized Zhu Qizhen's destiny and made him lose his legitimacy.
As a result, he never expected that the Empress Dowager Sun had already pinched his life!
No wonder Empress Dowager Wu bowed to her.
No wonder she is not worried about me questioning Zhu Qizhen’s legitimacy.
No wonder, she has such a trump card in her hand!
At the same time, Zhu Qiyu broke out in a cold sweat. At the court meeting that day, if he really revealed the secret that the relationship between Queen Mother Sun and Zhu Qizhen was not a biological mother and son, it would not be Zhu Qizhen who would be finished, but him!
Fortunately, he did not pursue Lin Cong's crime the next day, nor did he continue to pursue the matter, choosing to deal with it coldly.
How wise it seems now, how lucky you are!
If we continue to investigate and investigate afterwards, I am afraid that he will be traced, and his guarantee for the throne will be lost!
No wonder Empress Dowager Wu wanted to kill Concubine Xian to silence her.
Everything is clear.
"I dare not deceive the emperor!"
Qin Shangfu's face was full of tears: "Not many people know about this. When the Queen Mother entered the palace to serve the late emperor, she was served by slaves, so she knows the inside story! Even Lian Zhong doesn't know!"
"Your Majesty, please give me a glass of poisonous wine. I will have no complaints!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed sharply.
Anyone who knows this secret must die!
Zhu Qiyu stared at her: "Qin Shangfu, I will never forget your achievements, give it to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Qin Shangfu burst into tears.
This secret is really amazing.
She had known this day for a long time, so she waited for this day quietly without fighting in the harem.
Now that she has kept the secret, she has repaid the kindness of the late Emperor, Empress Dowager Wu, and the emperor!
"I will take care of your family properly. You can go on your way with peace of mind."
Zhu Qiyu's face was full of despair, and he suddenly shouted: "Feng Xiao! Have the palace maids from Yongshou Palace not left the palace yet?"
"I haven't replied to the emperor yet." Feng Xiao's voice sounded outside the door.
"Move the imperial guards, catch up and kill them all! Leave no one behind!" Zhu Qiyu shouted fiercely.
"My slave obeys the order!"
Just as Feng Xiaogang was about to leave, Zhu Qiyu's voice came again: "Send the order again. Xu Bin and Nie Shanggong's clan members will all be killed. No more trials will be allowed! The house will be burned down, the files will be destroyed, and all traces will disappear! Send the order immediately to deal with it!"
Don’t waste a moment!”
"My servant obeys the order!" Feng Xiao did not dare to disobey. There was no one in Nie Shanggong's family, but Xu Bin had family members, but his family was not in the capital. After Xu Bin was killed, an imperial edict was issued to arrest the entire family.
"The houses where Xu Bin, Nie Shanggong, Qin Shangfu and others lived will also be burned down! Nothing is allowed to be left! You, Feng Xiao, go and do it in person, and do it immediately!"
"Come back! There is also Concubine Xian's Jingren Palace, everything is burned down... Well, let's go with Concubine Xian."
Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qin Shangfu: "Do you have any paper left?"
"No servant, absolutely not!" Qin Shangfu burst into tears.
"Qin Shangfu, it's not that I'm ruthless, but this matter is of great importance. I must be just in case. Tell me the list of people who know this secret."
Qin Shangfu's heart skipped a beat, the emperor still didn't trust her.
"Only the Holy Mother, Xu Bin and Nie Shanggong know about this matter, not even the living concubine!" Qin Shangfu said.
"Where is the Queen Mother's palace?"
"It's just me!" Qin Shangfu was very sure.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "In all these years, have you never told anyone else? Even if you went out to visit the palace, you never said a word?"
Bang bang bang!
Qin Shangfu kowtows crazily: "I don't dare, I don't dare to reveal even a word. Your Majesty, if I tell them, wouldn't it bring disaster to them? I beg Your Majesty for mercy. I don't ask Your Majesty to be kind to my family. I only ask for His Majesty's kindness."
Your Majesty, just let them live in peace!"
Zhu Qiyu offered help: "Qin Shangfu is relieved. I'm just asking casually. After you die, I will give your family everything they want. Just go with peace of mind."
This secret is really amazing.
Qin Shangfu said that his mother, the Queen Mother Wu, was the concubine of Zhu Gaoxu, a Han commoner!
After the failure of the Han Dynasty's rebellion, he was imprisoned in Xiaoyao City. His concubine Wu was spotted by Emperor Xuanzong because of her beauty, and she stayed to sleep with him.
It was just a temporary fling, but I didn't want Wu to get pregnant.
Later, a baby boy was born, Zhu Qiyu.
But when Wu was pregnant, she was still in Xiaoyao City, and it was impossible to determine whether the child was the son of Emperor Xuanzong or the son of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu!
Although the Wu family denied it, they tried their best to prove that the child was the biological son of Emperor Xuanzong.
At that time, Emperor Xuanzong accepted it because he had few heirs. When the child was born, he found that he looked very similar to Emperor Xuanzong, which dispelled Emperor Xuanzong's doubts.
However, if this child is just a prince, there will be no problem!
But it happens that this child is the current emperor. Once any rumors spread, and there are rumors that he is not the heir of the late emperor, but a bastard, the consequences will be...
It’s even scarier than having your door taken away from you!
Countless times more terrifying!
He always thought that having a son would completely consolidate the imperial power, he would have die-hard supporters, and he would no longer be exhausted by rebellion.
But knowing this secret completely drove him into dust!
Once this secret is made public, the legitimacy of his throne will be questioned. Don't forget, the King of Han is a Han commoner and a sinner. How can the son of a sinner ascend the throne and become emperor?
His greatest support as emperor is the late emperor’s biological son!
Emperor Xuanzong only had two sons. Zhu Qizhen was defeated and captured, and it was his turn to ascend the throne.
The reason why he can sit on the throne, pretend to be crazy and kill people in the court, and force the ministers to bow to him is all because of imperial power, and imperial power comes from the late emperor!
But once this secret is made public, his legitimacy will be greatly questioned, and clans all over the world will be ready to take action.
Even if he wants to transform the Ming Dynasty, the things he will do will definitely lead to huge backlash inside and outside the court. These backlash forces will definitely turn these rumors into reality, and his legitimacy will suffer a devastating blow.
If you take the throne, you will never be able to secure it.
He will always be immersed in conspiracies and conspiracies, and will be suspicious all his life. It is impossible to transform the Ming Dynasty, let alone create a prosperous China!
This secret must be buried deep underground!
Let all those who may threaten his throne die!
He now understands why Empress Dowager Wu kept low to Empress Dowager Sun and why she wanted to kill Concubine Xian to silence her. If it were him, he would do the same thing!
Although Empress Dowager Sun is also not clean, if she stands in the court and makes this secret public, his legitimacy will be dealt a devastating blow!
The reason why I haven't taken it out yet is because I haven't been forced into a desperate situation yet.
Don't forget, Zhu Qizhen's legitimacy also comes from the late emperor, and he is still burdened with stains that can never be washed away. Once the brothers bite each other, Zhu Qiyu will call Zhu Qizhen a bastard, and Zhu Qizhen will call Zhu Qiyu a bastard. p>
The Tian family has completely become a stinking ditch. Even if Zhu Qizhen is restored to the throne, the world will probably be in chaos, and he will not be able to secure his position.
This secret is the secret of injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging yourself by eight hundred!
Empress Dowager Sun will not take it out unless absolutely necessary.
I'm really lucky that I didn't force the shit basin on the Queen Mother's head, otherwise I would be the one who was embarrassed!
Zhu Qiyu’s face was full of despair.
Qin Shangfu bowed before retreating.
"Qin Shangfu, you have no heirs. I will choose a boy from among the people, surnamed Qin, to be your mother. I will offer sacrifices to you during the New Year and festivals, and then give him a place in the Royal Guards where he can enjoy wealth and honor. You will not be lonely there.
If he is unfilial, I will take care of him for you, and you can go in peace." Zhu Qiyu suddenly stopped her.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! This slave has no complaints!" Qin Shangfu kowtowed at the door.
"Destroy her files, strip her of her clothes, and burn all her belongings. Let her be laid to rest, and her kindness be fulfilled."
Zhu Qiyu wanted to burn her too, but considering that people in this era pay attention to burial, he didn't do it too well.
"If one of her brothers is selected to join the Jinyi Guards, each of the other brothers will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and no treasure money will be given." Zhu Qiyu was more merciful. If it were Taizu, Taizong would have eradicated it long ago.
So what if I promise her?
What if someone in her family knows this secret?
Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes, feeling very tired all over.
Empress Dowager Sun cannot stay, she must die!
I dare not use any method to kill her!
As for Queen Mother Wu...can she really keep a secret?
Zhu Qiyu is possessed by a demon, but what to do requires long-term planning. At least he must first get the list of people who know the secret, and then eliminate all traces.
It originally started in hell, but added a super hell difficulty.
How to break the situation?
He sat alone in the Xinuang Pavilion for a long time before opening the door and letting the waiter in.
"Your Majesty, Yin Zhi and Hanlin are waiting outside the palace. Should Xuan come in?" Qin Chang said in a low voice.
Zhu Qiyu exhaled a breath: "Xuan."
He patted his head, let himself go, and tried not to think about this secret.
Soon, Yin Zhi and others filed in.
"Get flat."
Zhu Qiyu's face was expressionless: "I'm ordering you to come because I really have a headache after reading this memorial. It's full of nonsense and a waste of pen, ink and paper. I want to shorten the number of words in the memorial, make it concise and concise, and don't quote classics. I don't have time to read it, and I don't want to.
I’m wasting my time in this lengthy article! Can you understand what I mean?”
"I understand."
"Qiu Jun, I have read your beautiful articles and know that you are ambitious. What do you think of this idea?" Zhu Qiyu directly named him.
Qiu Jun Jingtai was a Jinshi for five years and was an editor at the Hanlin Academy. He was a young genius and ambitious.
I was deceived before and went to Xihuamen to cry and remonstrate, but I was horrified afterwards.
On the other hand, Xu Pu, who was on the same list, did not have anyone to cry out and remonstrate with him. Instead, he studied in the Hanlin Academy and escaped.
"I think your Majesty's strategy is the best. It streamlines memorials and improves efficiency. I agree with your Majesty's strategy." Qiu Jun was a fool and expressed his stance directly.
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips raised: "Xu Pu, what do you think?"
"I agree!" Xu Pu was much smarter and didn't talk nonsense. He agreed with Qiu Jun. Even if he was liquidated one day, he would only threaten him, and at most he would be scolded for following the wind.
"Sun Xian!"
Zhu Qiyu looked at Sun Xian. Sun Xian was the number one scholar in Jingtai for five years. His articles were amazing, but he was older and full of craftsmanship. Civil servants liked him, but Zhu Qiyu felt that he was not as good as Xu Pu.
"All ministers agree!"
All the Hanlins knelt on the ground.
"Okay! Since all the ministers agree, then the reform will start from the Hanlin Academy. All memorials of the Hanlin Academy should be within 500 words. The number of words can be increased under special circumstances."
"I obey the order!"
The reason why it went so smoothly is because the Hanlin Academy is a reserve school for senior officials, does not participate in government affairs, and writes very few memorials.
"All the ministers are equal."
Zhu Qiyu looked happy: "How is the compilation of the traitor list going?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces fell.
"Your Majesty, this matter is the responsibility of Chen Jijiu of the Imperial College and has nothing to do with the Hanlin Academy." Yin Zhi said bravely.
"Huh? Then what are you doing when you are free?"
Zhu Qiyu's face darkened: "I've ordered Chen to come here to offer wine. I want to know the progress of compiling the list of traitorous ministers! Since you are all idle, then compile a list of treacherous kings!"
In an instant, all the Hanlin officials knelt on the ground, and finally Qiu Jun spoke: "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate to compile the records of the emperor, and it is detrimental to the face of the Tian family..."
He hesitated for a long time and then said this sentence, obviously he did not dare to tell the real reason for his objection.
If you really want to compile the records of Hun Jun, you just want to say whether or not to include the Supreme Emperor?
The things he did are too numerous to describe, right? It's not an exaggeration to say that he is not a foolish emperor? The dogs shook their heads after hearing this; say that he is a foolish emperor, right? The Supreme Emperor is still alive! I am afraid that his power is greater than today. Who dares to risk the world? What a shame!
They are all naughty and unwilling to offend the Supreme Emperor.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Humph!" Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly.
All the Hanlins were kneeling and did not dare to raise their heads.
"Then you will only plead guilty? Don't you know how to help the Imperial College and speed up the progress of the traitor list? I not only want to compile the traitor list of this dynasty, but also the traitor list of all previous dynasties!"
Zhu Qiyu revealed his true purpose: "One month, I will give you one month to write a book for me to read! The most treacherous minister in this dynasty is Gao Gu! The second treacherous minister is Wang Ao! How to write it specifically, you decide, it is ready. Submit it, I want to see it!"
Poof!
All the Hanlin vomited blood. It turns out that the emperor wanted to use the Hanlin to bite the civil servants.
This is the true purpose of the emperor!
Who do Gao Gu and Wang Ao have a close relationship with?
Chen Xun, the chief minister of the dynasty!
I knew the emperor had no good intentions, so he was waiting here!
"Do you have any objections?" Zhu Qiyu looked down at them.
Liu Ji looked at Liu Jue, Liu Jue looked at Yin Zhi, Yin Zhi looked at Liu Xian, Liu Xian looked at Xu Pu, and Xu Pu looked at Qiu Jun.
"I obey the order!" Qiu Jun was pushed out to be the leader again.
"Well, Qiu Jun is good. He should be promoted to lecturer. I want to listen to "Zuo Zhuan." You are ready to give me lecture on "Zuo Zhuan." Zhu Qiyu threw out a sweet date.
Qiu Jun bowed excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
The hierarchy of the Hanlin Academy is strict, and every step is more difficult. But being promoted by the emperor will save you many years of detours.
"Qiu Jun, Xu Pu, Liu Xian, Yin Zhi, Liu Ji, Liu Jue, Yang Shouchen, Lin E, Peng Hua and Liu Hao will be in charge."
Those Zhu Qiyu named were all the best in the Hanlin Academy.
Peng Hua was Peng Shi's younger brother, and Liu Yao was Liu Qiu's son. They were both outstanding men.
This list of treacherous ministers tied up the Hanlin Academy scholars to his chariot.
Even if someone wanted to take refuge with Chen Xun and become his lackey, would Chen Xun dare to use him?
This is Zhu Qiyu's purpose, he is winning over Jinshi of the Hanlin Academy.
These are all Jinshi in the fifth year of Jingtai, and they have inherited his kindness. As long as they are used well, they will become his people.
After being sent away from the Imperial Academy, Zhu Qiyu continued to review the memorials.
"Your Majesty, the noble concubine is here to ask, are you going to Yongning Palace tonight?" Qin Chang came to report.
There is only one concubine in the palace, so there is no need to change the name.
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yongning Palace is not conducive to the heirs, so change its name to Chengqian Palace."
"The slave takes the order."
The cabinet would certainly not be willing to argue with the emperor about such a trivial matter as changing the name of the palace.
"When I came back, the names of the six east and west palaces were changed. I wrote the inscriptions myself and replaced them with brands after engraving." Zhu Qiyu had a whim.
If you don’t understand the reform office of streamlining memorials, and if you can’t take the first step to transform the Ming Dynasty, you should change the name of the palace first. You must leave your own mark on the Ming Dynasty.
At night, I went to Chengqian Palace to rest.
As soon as he undressed and lay down, before falling asleep, Feng Xiao's voice came from the door: "Your Majesty, Lu Zhong has something urgent to see you!"
Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes suddenly: "What's the matter?"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Lu Zhong came to the palace late at night and asked to see you for something urgent. I saw that he was covered in blood, so I disturbed you." Feng Xiaozhan said tremblingly. It is a serious crime to disturb the emperor at night.
"Your Majesty?" Concubine Tang also woke up and opened her eyes.
"You go to bed first, I'll come back when I go." Zhu Qiyu sat up.
"I will wait for you to change your clothes."
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Just let Feng Xiao come in and take care of you. Go to sleep."
Feng Xiao pushed the door open and came in. He waited on the emperor to change his clothes.
Zhu Qiyu didn't trust the palace maids, so his food, clothing, housing and transportation were all served by a few personal eunuchs.
"What's going on?"
Feng Xiao glanced at Tang Guifei cautiously.
"It's okay, your concubine is trustworthy." Zhu Qiyu took a sip of warm water and managed to cheer up.
"The slaves don't know, but when Lu Zhong entered the palace, he was covered in blood. The guards who were on duty did not allow him to enter the palace. Fortunately, Commander Song was on duty and he was hoisted into the palace with a hanging basket, but he was injured.
It’s very serious. I’ve asked the female doctor Tan Tan to help with the treatment.”
After Zhu Qiyu was dressed, Feng Xiao presented him with a square scarf. Zhu Qiyu wiped his face with it and said, "Where is Lu Zhong?"
"In the Chengqian Palace, the servants placed him in the Nuan Pavilion." Feng Xiao reported back.
"Take me there."
Putting on his brocade robe, Zhu Qiyu left the main hall, crossed the courtyard and entered the Nuan Pavilion. The smell of blood in the Nuan Pavilion assaulted his nostrils.
Talk about female doctors who are not good at treating trauma and need to leave the uterus for diagnosis and treatment.
When he saw the emperor coming in, he quickly knelt down and saluted.
After spending several days in the palace, she had become accustomed to the heavy etiquette.
"Get up, how is Lu Zhong?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine, I wish you the best of luck!" Lu Zhong got up from the bed with difficulty and wanted to kneel down.
Zhu Qiyu stepped forward to support him: "I'm fine, no courtesy."
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent!" Lu Zhong was covered in wounds and blood. He looked particularly scary and his voice was hoarse.
"What happened?"
Zhu Qiyu asked him to lie down. He heard from Tan Yunxian that the injury looked scary, but it wasn't serious. The person who did it probably didn't do it for his life, but to scare him. The strange thing is that there was a wound on his chest.
A fatal wound.
"From the day I received the decree and left the palace, I went to look for the orphans of Tumubao, but I found some. Those children were miserable."
"Your Majesty, you didn't see it with your own eyes. If you saw it with your own eyes, you would definitely be furious!"
"Those are the sons of heroes, and they are reduced to begging on the streets. How many children have disabled themselves just to beg for a bite of food. They go to the city gate and the market entrance and kneel for a whole day. Just for some food, what?
I don’t even care.”
"The wives of some heroes have become secret agents..."
As he spoke, Lu Zhong shed tears: "I can't bear to see them. They can fight with wild dogs just for a bite to eat; they can break their own legs and go out to beg; they can put themselves in trouble just to have a way for their families to survive."
Sold into a brothel..."
Zhu Qiyu's whole face turned dark: "How is that possible? I have paid pensions to the families of the soldiers who died in the battle to defend Beijing! Moreover, they are military households, and their heirs should be sent to the Beijing camp? There is absolutely no problem in eating, how could they be reduced to this?
What about this situation?"
"I also know it! I am also a royal guard who succeeded my father after his father died!"
Lu Zhong looked sad: "These are all children who are too young and have not reached the age of entering the Yin. But I remember that when I was in the Jinyi Guard, I saw the sons of the heroes who died in the Yin! And I also asked them, but they did not accept them.
I received a pension of just one copper penny, so I ended up in this situation."
"I didn't believe it at first, but this injury made me believe it."
Lu Zhong is a man of heroic spirit. He does things based on impulse, regrets it afterwards, and retaliates when he is forced to do so. From his tone, it is obvious that he regrets taking on this job.
"After I found these orphans and listened to what they said, I didn't believe them at first."
"But there was a military village where all the men were dead, leaving only women, children and the elderly. They named a few names, and I have actually heard of them. They all died in the battle to defend Beijing." p>
"But their vacancies have been filled by others. One of them is still in the Imperial Guard. I remember clearly. He said that his father died in the battle to defend Beijing."
"Kechen found the son of the man who died in the war in that village!"
"He broke his leg and was begging for food at the entrance of the market! He is sixteen years old this year, and his legs are disabled. He is as thin as a stick. He said that he has never known what it feels like to have a full meal.
!"
"He told me that he didn't receive any pension, not even a copper! His household registration, for some reason, changed from a military household to a craftsman household! From a good citizen to an untouchable, he had no choice but to abandon his household registration and became a refugee!" "There is more than one such person, Your Majesty!"
"I searched according to the list of the Ministry of Household Registration. Many of them have no household registration. If I search according to the military household, I can't find anyone! But I can search in the low-level registration list and I can find them all!"
"Even their names are exactly the same in the Beijing Camp, Jinyi Guards, and Imperial Guards!"
"When I find out these things, I will know that I have stung a hornet's nest!"
"So I went to the palace overnight to report this matter to His Majesty!"
"But the life of these sons of meritorious officials was really too hard. They begged me to give them some food, and out of compassion, I took them to collect grain, cloth and other items from the internal funds."
Lu Zhong cried and said: "On the way back, I was robbed and stabbed more than ten times. The three Tiqi I recruited were hacked to death!"
"On the way into the palace, I was ambushed again. The wound on my chest was left at the entrance of the palace! I almost died!"
Lu Zhong's speech is a bit incoherent.
Zhu Qiyu thought about it: "Were you ambushed twice? Who was it the first time? Do you have any clues?"
"The first time, it should be a gang force. They came here to steal money. They should be related to the orphans who were killed in Tumubao."
Lu Zhong's thinking was quite clear: "When I entered the palace, someone should have blocked me from entering the palace to report and tried to kill me. Fortunately, Song Wei commanded the envoy to shoot arrows at the palace gate, which scared off the thieves and saved my life.
!"
At the gate of the palace, they were ambushed for the second time!
The first time it was Jin Zhong, the second time it was Lu Zhong!
They are all targeting my people!
Did they really prevent Lu Zhong from reporting this matter?
In fact, Zhu Qiyu was not shocked by the results of Lu Zhong's report, because he knew very well that the Ming Dynasty began to decay from the Xuanzong era.
During the Xuanzong period, private warfare became common, corruption became common, smuggling became common, military preparations were depleted, and so on.
Nowadays, these vested interests have formed a huge group, and Zhu Qiyu, who does not have the imperial power in his hands, has no way to deal with them.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu did not think that it was vested interests that prevented Lu Zhong from reporting the matter.
Rather, it was a routine assassination, killing those who fell in love with the emperor!
Anyone!
Anyone who turns to the emperor will be assassinated!
Today it is Jin Zhong, Lu Zhong, and in the future there may be Wang Wen, Fan Guang, etc. As long as they turn to the emperor, they will be assassinated and threatened!
This is revenge from Chen Xun!
"Your Majesty! They were wronged! You have to make the decision for them!" Lu Zhong struggled and knelt on the ground, begging the emperor.
"Lu Zhong, have you ever thought about why you are still alive to tell me these things?"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Because I can't control it, even if I'm angry to death, there's nothing I can do about it!"
"Ah?" Lu Zhong was confused.
"I won't lie to you, I really can't control it. But I promise you, I can't control it today. When I get back the imperial power, the first thing I will do is give justice to the sons of these heroes!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed sharply: "You go back and tell those children, just say that I know! I owe them, Ming Dynasty owes them, I will give them an explanation sooner or later!"
Lu Zhong came to his senses. The emperor was restrained at every turn. Just seeing someone who dared to intercept and kill at the palace gate, he knew that the emperor had been forced into a corner.
"Whatever His Majesty asks me to do! I will do it! Even if the sky is opened and I am alone, I will not be afraid of anything!"
Lu Zhong lay on the ground to show his loyalty.
"Okay! Lu Zhong! You draw some more food from your internal funds and send it to them. Those who can join the army will join the army. If they really can't, find a livelihood for them. Don't let them beg for food. The only thing I can do for the time being is
These."
Zhu Qiyu helped Lu Zhong up: "You have to form Tiqi as soon as possible. Don't investigate anymore. What will happen if you find out? I can't control it, let alone you?"
"Quickly form Tiqi and help me find Zhang Fu! The silver that was lost in the internal transportation warehouse is likely to be the mastermind of the treasure theft!"
"I give you the power of special envoy and leave it to you to investigate!"
"Lu Zhong, you may not be able to recover the money, but I want Zhang Fu's handle! When Zhang Fu returns to Beijing, he will die!"
Zhu Qiyu’s eyes flickered.
"I understand!"
Lu Zhong hesitated and said: "I am worried that someone will make this matter public in the court and use it to criticize Your Majesty! Please make preparations in advance!"
Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrank, and what Lu Zhong saw might have been something someone asked him to see.
Forcing Lu Zhong to investigate is forcing Zhu Qiyu to investigate.
If Zhu Qiyu checks, he will fall into a trap.
If not investigated, it will be used as a means to criticize him in the court.
This technique looks familiar!
Chen Xun!
You actually used the victim as a gun to attack me. Are you worthy of being treated as a human being?
