Chapter 98 All the officials in the capital, including those with women in their families, will serve in the palace!
"Your Majesty!"
Hu Xi had to stand up and speak for Wang Zhi.
"Then the matter is settled like this."
Zhu Qiyu didn't listen at all, and waved his hand: "The elder Wang Ge will take the lead, and the other candidates will be decided by the cabinet department. I won't ask."
"Your Majesty..." Hu Xi still wanted to say.
"Master!"
But Yang Xuan took the lead: "Your Majesty has not finished speaking, how can Taifu take the lead? I would like to ask Taifu to shut up and wait for His Majesty's permission before speaking again!"
Hu Xi's face changed slightly, are you so eager to be a dog?
Zhu Qiyu took a deep look at Yang Xuan. He was a smart man and could understand the situation between North Korea and China.
He lowered his gaze and looked at Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi was confused and knelt on the ground, receiving the order to thank him.
"Mr. Wang Ge, I have only one request. No one who caused trouble last night will be spared! Kill them all!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sharp.
Wang Zhi smiled miserably, the biggest commotion last night was Dongchang, how do you want me to arrest him?
You don't want to kill the minister, but you want all the officials in the court to turn into ferocious beasts and bite the minister to death.
"Old minister, I obey the order!" Wang Zhi sighed.
Hu Hui saw this and felt sad in her heart.
The court is different, the emperor is different.
The emperor's words cannot be refuted.
He could no longer control the emperor, unless he used that secret to detonate it and die together.
The biggest mistake in this life was to allow the emperor to kill Chen Xun.
Looking at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, he became unattainable. Slowly, he knelt on the ground.
Once I kneel down, I will never get up again.
"Old minister, I'm begging for the bones." Hu Hui solemnly placed the wat tablet on the ground and knocked it to the bottom.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes turned cold, and he used this trick to force me again? Is it still useful?
"Yang Xuan, you have made the old lady angry. Kneel down and beg for mercy." Zhu Qiyu smiled faintly and passed the blame to Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan's face turned bitter and she knelt down towards Hu Hui.
Hu Xi was shocked. How could Yang Xuan kneel down to him when he was a minister in the same palace at the great court meeting? He had been the Minister of Rites for decades, how could he not even understand this etiquette?
He hurriedly dodged because he got up so violently that he felt dizzy and his eyesight went dark.
Yang Xuan was so ruthless that she adjusted her kneeling position and kowtowed to him: "I beg you, old master, to please me and spare me!"
"Yang Xuan you!"
Hu Hui dodged again, but her body refused to obey her orders.
He is a medical scientist and is very good at keeping in good health. He knows that his vitality is at its peak and there is a risk of paralysis.
"Please forgive me, old lady!"
Yang Xuan kowtowed.
Hu Xi opened her mouth, but could not speak.
In the Fengtian Hall, the scene was extremely embarrassing. Yang Xuan kowtowed to Hu Hui, and Hu Hui was speechless. The scene was extremely strange.
"No, I won't say goodbye!" Hu Hui couldn't bear it anymore, and if she kept knocking him, he would easily be knocked to death.
Only then did Yang Xuan receive his magical powers.
"Old Master, I've forgiven you, so please stop."
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "Hurry up and help the old lady up and give him a seat!"
Yang Xuan was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He was no longer young. He slowly got up, fastened the wat board, and reached out to help Hu Ming.
Hu Hui pushed him away in disgust, but as soon as Yang Xuan let go, he sat on his butt!
"Yang Xuan, how could you throw Tai Tu!" Li Xian shouted angrily and quickly helped Hu Ming up.
Hu Hui was upset, rolled her eyes, and couldn't say a word.
Yang Xuan was even more happy and knelt down directly in front of Hu Hui: "I know I was wrong. I beg the old lady to spare my life!"
Hu Xi was speechless.
Yang Xuan kowtowed desperately, his forehead bleeding from the knock, and his begging for mercy was extremely shrill.
"You, you, are you going to force me to death?" Hu Xiqiang calmed down and after saying these words, he trembled all over, as if he was about to pass.
Li Xian stroked his back and helped him calm down.
When Yang Xuan wanted to speak, Li Xian scolded him: "Get out of here!"
Yang Xuan shut up angrily and did not dare to speak.
"Mr. Li Ge is so majestic!"
Zhu Qiyu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, snorted coldly: "If I hadn't been wearing a dragon robe and looked at this dilapidated Fengtian Hall, I would have thought it was the pigsty in Li Ge's hometown? I shouted at the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate,
I really didn’t expect that Mr. Li Ge would be so domineering!”
"Old minister, I made a mistake. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Li Xian knelt on the ground to plead guilty. He did not expect that the emperor openly protected Yang Xuan. Was he really going to force Hu Hui to death?
Hu Hui's body swayed left and right, as if he was about to pass away.
Seeing that the emperor was protecting Yang Xuan, the courtiers scolded Li Xian one after another and turned Li Xian into a dog.
Li Xian kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy.
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips curled up, this is the emperor.
"Your Majesty."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Now is not the time for internal fighting. Although Mr. Li Ge made a mistake, he is still devoted to the country. Let him go."
All the officials stopped talking.
Li Xian swallowed his saliva and paid attention to the emperor's wording. Let me go!
This is the emperor showing his noble hand and letting me off the hook!
All the key officials have listened. The era of Chen Xun is really gone forever. Starting from Yang Shiqi, the era of civilian power has passed.
He chuckled twice, and that bit of ambition that he shouldn't have was completely extinguished. What a party of King Li, just take it as a joke.
Look at the emperor on the dragon throne again, that is the real emperor.
But it seems that he is not Emperor Taizong, but more like Emperor Taizu!
Taizong ascended the throne unfairly, and also killed the ten clans of Fang Xiaoru and lost his ambition to be a civil servant. Therefore, Emperor Taizong wanted to lure him with power. Civil servants gradually came to power, and they had a cooperative relationship with Emperor Taizong.
But it is different today. Although he was not granted the imperial title by the late emperor, he was pushed up by the ministers during the war. Now he suppresses people with force and governs the world with power. His temperament is violent and he is murderous. This is true.
Taizu is still alive!
Li Xian looked at Wang Zhi inexplicably, as if he had seen his own fate.
Zhu Qiyu’s voice sounded:
"The problem before the court now is food!"
"Jinyiwei only rescued 150,000 shi of food, and I estimate that the capital has a population of at least one million, not counting those who have fled their households."
"This little food is just a drop in the bucket!"
"Everyone is talking about, how can we survive with this little food until the food arrives in Beijing?"
The officials frowned.
Unexpectedly, the famine in the capital was really serious, so many courtiers coaxed the execution of the nine grain merchants.
"The veteran believes that water transportation is the most important, and we must hurry up with water transportation."
Lin Cong took the lead and said: "If there is even the slightest error in water transportation, it may cause chaos in the capital."
"The old minister thought that he could send cabinet officials, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang to the Water Transport Yamen to urge Jiangnan grain to enter the capital."
"Send people to Nanjing again to take charge of the grain purchase. If it is absolutely necessary, Nanjing's garrison can be mobilized to forcefully collect grain. Everything should be based on the stability of the capital!"
"Lin Ge is always adept at planning for the country, and water transportation must not be disrupted."
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "Mr. Lin Ge, you will take the lead. Each of the six departments, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the General Affairs Department will appoint a chief officer. The number is not limited. Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Tiqi will all send people to follow, and the canal guard army will also return.
You make arrangements to ensure the stability of water transportation, what do you think?"
"Old minister, I obey the order!" Lin Cong knelt down to accept the order.
He wanted to leave the whirlpool of the court. He was in an awkward position, and he was unwilling to be the emperor's sword, killing civil servants.
Wang Wen glanced at him and said, "Sooner or later, the emperor will kill you, a young man like you."
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you for advice!"
Wang Wen went out and knelt down: "I heard that Chaotian Palace harbors imperial criminals, and the crime cannot be punished!"
"In the temples in the capital, there are not many places where filth and evil can hide. However, His Majesty has the world in mind and his holy grace spreads far and wide, so he gives the monks a chance to reform. As long as they pay enough food, they can forget the past."
"This amount of food is voluntarily paid by monks and Taoists. Please name it after 'filial piety'."
He started to tremble. As an old member of the emperor's team and the emperor's number one lackey, his status naturally increased.
No matter who joins the royalist party in the future, he will have to worship him as the senior brother! The first brother of the royalist party, his status cannot be shaken!
He is no longer afraid of Tumo Xingzi from the temple in Beijing.
A disaster is imminent in Chaotian Palace, and if you continue to refuse to spend money to avoid the disaster, the consequences will be more serious. As for the temples in Beijing, if you want to blame it, just blame Tianshi Tao. They asked you to provide some food and buy your own life. It will be so easy for you.
.
"Xiao Liang, do you pay filial piety to my grain?" Zhu Qiyu felt that this name exalted the monks.
"Old minister, please give me a name from your majesty!"
"Let's call them reformed grains. This is to give them a chance to mend their ways. Anyone in the capital who has an ultimatum will pay one stone of grains each!" Zhu Qiyu said fiercely.
"Your Majesty, one stone of grain is 153 catties (mingling)!"
Zhang Feng exclaimed: "And your Majesty is using the ultimatum as a calculation. I'm afraid there are more than 100,000 people in the capital who are demanding ultimatum. How can you force them to pay food?"
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "What good idea does Zhang Shangshu have?"
"Wei Chen thinks that based on the size of the temple and the number of monks and Taoists, the largest one, such as the Chaotian Palace, will pay 10,000 shi of grain, while the smallest one, such as a small roadside temple, will only pay 100 shi of grain."
The ministers exclaimed, they thought Zhang Feng was speaking for the monks and Taoists, but who would have thought that he could be more ruthless!
This is to dig out all the food accumulated by the monks.
It's not over yet.
Zhang Feng sneered: "Your Majesty opened your eyes and announced that the grain would be changed. There must be monks and Taoists who rely on the backstage and the middle and backstage of the court and the blessings of immortals and Buddhas to refuse to pay."
"Wei ministers think that they will use the temple land as punishment. If the temple land is completely destroyed, the monks and Taoists will take back the ultimatum, starting from the abbot and the Taoist priest. Those who take back the ultimatum will all return to the secular world."
"Those who return to secular life will be escorted by guards in golden robes to patrol the streets and eat meat as a ceremony to return to secular life!"
"Send the grain to the Ministry of Household Affairs within three days!"
"If the payment is overdue, the payment will be doubled for every day of delay. If the payment is overdue for more than three days, the temple will be burned down, and all the monks and Taoists in the temple will have to do hard labor."
Cruel!
The emperor collects the money according to the ultimatum, but the collection speed is slow, and it will be corrupted at all levels, and there may not be much left after reaching the household department.
But according to Zhang Feng's storage, it is different. It is collected according to temple specifications and moved directly from the temple. As for whether the food in the temple is enough or not, it is not a matter of concern to the court. Anyway, there are enough monks and Taoists, so what is there to fear?
of?
"Okay! Just accept it according to Zhang Shangshu's opinion!"
Zhu Qiyu stood up excitedly: "But Chaotian Palace is harboring imperial prisoners, and I have sent people to check it. As for temples of the same size, they will be collected at 20,000 dan. Those who cannot be collected will take back the temple fields and order them to return to secular life!"
What makes Zhu Qiyu even more happy is that Zhang Feng is seeking refuge with him.
"This matter is too involved and it is inconvenient for the court to intervene, so let the patrol battalion do it!"
Zhu Qiyu was worried that the upper levels of the court would reach out, causing insufficient food to be put into the warehouse, which would affect his big plan: "The General Affairs Department, the Secretary of Rites and Supervisors, and the Household Department will send people to inspect them! Send out all the planners, and not a single grain of food will be missing.
!”
"I'll say it again, these grains are life-saving grains!"
"What we are saving is the lives of everyone in the court. If anyone dares to touch a single grain, I will punish his nine clans!"
"Did you hear that?"
"I obey the decree!" All the officials of Fengtian Palace kowtowed.
Only Hu Hui was sitting on the Jindun, breathing heavily. Seeing this, she also knelt on the ground with difficulty.
"Ping Shen." Zhu Qiyu said in a solemn tone.
"Your Majesty, please discuss again, how should we distribute these 150,000 shi of grain?"
"Old minister begins!"
Xue Xuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly went out of work: "I think that the food is mainly from refugees outside the city, who cook the rice into porridge, so I will keep it for the time being."
"But it's free?" Shi Pu asked.
"It's free of charge, so how can the government still collect money from the refugees?" Xue Xuan asked in surprise.
"No!"
But Shi Pu shook his head: "If porridge is given out for free, I'm afraid all the people in the capital will abandon their homes and work to eat porridge!"
"Now is the time when the economy is lean. Even people in Gyeonggi may not have enough to eat. If I hear that Gyeonggi has free porridge, I'm afraid the people around will overwhelm Gyeonggi."
"A mere 150,000 shi of grain can't feed many mouths!"
"Shi Shangshu, the refugees outside the city have been tortured by merchants, how can we continue to seek their wealth?" Xue Xuan was angry.
Shi Pu was not angry and said with a smile: "When I control water, I have the best of both worlds."
"What a good idea!"
"When the old minister was managing the Yellow River, he exchanged porridge for labor. If you want to drink porridge, you have to work for the old minister. It is considered a fair trade." Shi Pu said with a smile.
"That's to manage the Yellow River. How can there be any work in Beijing?" Xue Xuan spread his hands.
"Mr. Xue, there is really something to do!"
Shi Pu smiled and said: "After last night's commotion, many places in Beijing need to be repaired. Labor is scarce, so why not trade porridge for labor."
"First of all, the porridge is not provided for free, and secondly, it can also accommodate the restless refugees."
"Relief through work." Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly.
Shi Pu's eyes lit up: "This word is just right. Yes, it means work-for-relief."
"The palace is dilapidated and the capital has suffered heavy losses. It really needs repairs."
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "What about the women and children?"
"The veteran believes that those who have families can build houses outside the city, and those who have no families, men and women will live separately, and women and children will live in the city."
Shi Pu considered it and said: "The merchants in Beijing suffered heavy losses last night, and they need manpower to rebuild. It is better to hire some women..."
But before he finished speaking, Cui Gong retorted: "How can a woman show up in public? Where are the court etiquette and laws in our country?"
Many officials agreed with Cui Gong.
But Shi Pu insisted on arguing that if women and children were not allowed to work, how could they feed them?
Work-for-relief means that everyone must work to have food to eat, and those who don’t will die!
"Stop fighting!"
Zhu Qiyu was dissatisfied and snorted: "There are all the merchants in the capital and everyone is dead. How can we recruit people?"
Shi Pu shrank his head, the emperor was really ruthless, someone must have slipped through the net last night and would come back to claim his property.
The emperor wanted to directly surrender the money and not return it, so he came to demand it and killed him directly.
When it comes to black heart, you still have to look at the emperor.
"Let's do this. The palace will organize the establishment of weaving and other factories, and recruit women to work in the factories to support themselves."
"Firstly, we can avoid the gossip. Secondly, I am worried about how to arrange the maids in the palace."
"The cloth woven can be used as dowry for them, so they can all be married off."
Zhu Qiyu didn't want to keep any of these palace maids.
Don't worry about using it.
"As for the children, we first vacated the Caolan Factory and set up a school here. The ministers are all great scholars. When they have nothing to do, they come to the Caolan Factory to teach."
"In terms of food, eat less, a bowl of porridge every day, just don't starve to death. Just get through this period and you'll be fine."
"Older children who are willing to study can stay in Caolan Factory to study; those who want to have enough to eat can do hard labor; those who want to learn something can go to various ministries and departments to help, and the ministers will arrange them properly."
Zhu Qiyu targets these children.
Children are the future. He wanted to choose some smart ones to enroll in school before, but he just got it all at once.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the capital cannot afford to let all the children have free food!"
Shi Pu raised objections: "Those under ten years old will go to Caolan Factory to study, and those over ten years old must do hard labor."
"I know that Your Majesty loves and cares for his subjects, but there are only 150,000 shi of food in the capital."
"I am worried that the people in the capital have also run out of ammunition and food, and they also need food to save their lives."
"If there are millions of mouths, 150,000 shi of food will only last for more than ten days, and it can last for a month at most!"
"I believe that even if nothing goes wrong, I still have to hold some food in my hands. If I have food in my hands, I won't panic."
Shi Pu's words are based on the old man's advice to seek the country.
"What Lao Shangshu said is absolutely correct, so just follow what Lao Shangshu said."
Zhu Qiyu changed the subject: "Suddenly so many people gathered in the capital. You must pay attention to the epidemic. All the doctors from the imperial hospital were released and gathered together to go outside the city to treat the refugees and prevent epidemics. This is the top priority.
It’s important, do you understand?”
"I understand!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "Shi Shangshu has a lot of rules for resettling the refugees, so he left it to Shi Shangshu and Ye Shangshu. The hundred officials in the capital are selected by them, so I will leave the matter of the refugees to them."
"With Shi Shangshu as the chief and Ye Sheng as the assistant, I will give you the expedient power of Shi Pu and the Emperor's Sword!"
"The palace sent Qin Chang to assist Minister Shi. It is not a constraint. Qin Chang often helps me handle documents. He is quite organized and can help the old minister."
"As for the major factories, I leave it to the eunuch Dong Ci to control the Jingzhong equipment as soon as possible, open business as soon as possible, and resume production as soon as possible."
Upon hearing the emperor's words, everyone was speechless.
The emperor didn't even let the merchants' fixed assets go!
I'm afraid I want everything except the house.
"Shi Shangshu, first build houses for the refugees outside the city."
"Plan the streets well. I think the central part of Beijing is too crowded and the open space outside Beijing must be used, so I will build them according to the regulations of central Beijing."
"The Ministry of Industry will come up with the map first... By the way, can Kuai Xiang still move?"
Zhu Qiyu asked.
Kuai Xiang is a god, the designer of the Tianmin Gate. The Beijing Imperial Palace, the three front halls of the palace, the five government offices and six administrative offices, Changling, Xianling, Longfu Temple, Beijing Xiyuan, etc. are all from his handiwork.
All the skilled carpenters in the south of the Yangtze River came from Xiangshan, and Kuai Xiang was the founder of the Xiangshan School.
"Although Minister Kuai is old, he is getting stronger with age!" Shi Pu said.
Kuai Xiang is now the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, but because of his old age and poor health, the emperor has ordered that he not attend the morning court unless there is something important.
"Please ask Kuai Xiang to come out and plan the buildings outside the city for me!"
“It doesn’t have to be beautifully designed, it just needs to be livable like a residential house.”
Zhu Qiyu said: "I plan to move some people out of the capital and live outside the capital. From now on, the inside of the nine gates will be called the inner city, and the outside of the nine gates will be called the outer city!"
"Your Majesty, there are no city gates outside Beijing to rely on. How can people live in peace of mind?" Shi Pu admonished.
"Of course we have to build a city gate, imitate the nine gates, and build nine more gates. The outer city is more than four times larger than the inner city. No, four times is too small, more than ten times!"
"All the land occupied will be expropriated by the court and can be exchanged for money or housing."
Before Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, Shi Pu said again: "Your Majesty, the capital is already majestic enough."
"Currently, Beijing has more than 200,000 households, making it the largest city in the world. How can it continue to expand?"
"I know your Majesty's heart and want to use the majesty of the city to showcase the great achievements of the Ming Dynasty!"
"However, there are only these Dingkou in the capital, which is enough for housing. It is not appropriate to expand the city and recruit new Dingkou into the capital."
"If the number of people increases dramatically, water transportation will not be able to afford the food for these people!"
"Moreover, if the refugees are turned into citizens and have no land, how will they survive? There are already many idle gangsters in Beijing. If there are more, there may be hidden dangers to public security."
"And when farmers become citizens, who will cultivate the abandoned land?"
Zhu Qiyu frowned.
He was designed based on the capitals of later generations. It was only after Shi Pu was reminded that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.
There is not much grain production near the capital, and it is all supported by water transportation.
Seeing that Shi Pu frequently contradicted the emperor, hundreds of officials criticized Shi Pu.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "What the old minister said is true. I didn't think it through clearly. How about re-planning the outer city outside Zhengyang Gate?"
"Your Majesty wants to rebuild?" Shi Pu asked.
"That's all, let's not move the outer city of Zhengyang Gate first, and then build another outer city outside Chaoyang Gate."
Zhu Qiyu said: "The other city is named after Chaoyang. It is used to house the workers in the factory. A number of houses will be built. I plan to reward the meritorious soldiers in the Beijing camp!"
Shi Pu felt it was too extravagant and wasteful.
Beijing is completely open for living, although it is a bit crowded, but there is no need to carry out large-scale construction to build the so-called Chaoyang City.
The point is that the capital cannot support too many people. It is fine when it is in its prime. But once there is a famine, these people may come back to bite the court.
"Let's give the former outer city the name Zhengyang City."
Zhu Qiyu originally wanted to re-plan Zhengyang City, but Shi Pu was right, there could not be more Dingkou in the capital.
At least not until high-yielding corn is popularized.
"Those who occupy land should be rewarded with more money, and don't take other people's land for free."
"As for repairing the city, I plan to widen the streets."
"As for the occupied houses, if there are empty houses in the city, they will be replaced with them. If there are not enough houses in the city, they will be given to the houses in Chaoyang City. They will be bigger and they will be rewarded with some money."
"The market in the city is too small and cannot accommodate enough merchants to expand the market."
"Choose a special place and set it up as a night market. The market will not stop at night, so it will be located in the Drum Tower."
"The Drum Tower can also be opened to the public. I will send eunuchs to collect the tickets, and the ticket money will go into the internal coffers."
Zhu Qiyu didn't finish his words.
"Your Majesty, the Drum Tower must not be opened!"
Wang Wen was shocked and said: "The Drum Tower is the commanding heights in the capital. Standing on it, one can overlook the whole capital and even peek into the palace. The old minister thought that it must not be opened to the public!"
Shi Pu, Ye Sheng and others also knelt down and must not open the Drum Tower.
Although Zhu Qiyu thought it didn't matter, all the officials in the court knelt down to ask for advice and the Drum Tower could not be opened.
"That's all, let's set it up in Shichahai."
Zhu Qiyu asked: "Ministry of Industry, how is the construction of Shichahai going?"
"Your Majesty, the construction of Shichahai is about to be completed." Shi Pu reported back.
"The night market can be located in Shichahai, and Jishuitan can also be the Qinhuai River. All you need is money for me." Zhu Qiyuming said, he just wanted money.
Shi Pu rolled his eyes, the last three seas corresponded to the first three seas.
The emperor really wanted money rather than his life.
"Where were you talking about?"
"Oh, there are also a few more cities and towns. The trade routes are blocked and the capital is not prosperous."
"Refugees, when the famine is over, the capital will eventually prosper."
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's mouth curled up.
But all the officials were secretly dumbfounded, thinking that the emperor was killing the chicken to obtain the egg again.
"Your Majesty."
Shi Pu sighed: "Your Majesty's ideas are all very good, but the city suddenly needs to be rebuilt, and there is insufficient stone and wood. If materials are transported from various places to the capital, I am afraid that there will be delays in transporting grain, and the veteran minister will also be in trouble.
There is no cooking without rice.”
Are you fantasizing in vain?
Zhu Qiyu was unhappy: "How much material does the Ministry of Industry have in stock?"
"Your Majesty, if we only build private houses, we can build a lot. If we build palaces, city gates, etc., it may not be enough."
"Then build private houses first, and postpone the construction of palaces later." Zhu Qiyu was very unhappy. The Ministry of Industry did not have any materials in stock. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I was so excited for nothing!
"Old minister, thank you for your consideration."
Shi Pu chuckled: "The veteran has a way to build the outer city."
"Say!" Zhu Qiyu replied in a muffled voice.
"The veteran believes that when it comes to wealth, the temples in Beijing are number one. Not only do they have a lot of money and food, they also have a lot of various materials. Moreover, the veteran has observed that all the materials used are of the highest quality. If they are demolished,
If it is used to build the outer city, a lot of materials can be saved."
hiss!
All the officials in the court took a deep breath.
I thought Zhang Feng was ruthless before, but now I see that the most ruthless person is Shi Pu.
Zhang Feng was greedy for food at most, and Shi Pu directly robbed everyone else's house.
This is a deadly feud.
Zhu Qiyu was stunned. Is Shi Pu really so patriotic?
He was a little unsure of Shi Pu's pulse and looked at Hu Hui.
"Your Majesty, I think it's okay." Hu Hui agreed.
etc!
This is a pit!
It’s not Shi Pu who has a deadly feud, it’s me!
Shi Pu used temple materials to give to the common people to satisfy my fantasies, and at the same time gave me a push, pushing me to the opposite side of the monks and Taoists.
This is a cruel move.
Why didn’t I kill Zhou Yingyu before?
Isn’t it just to stabilize the hearts of the Heavenly Master?
But once I take over the temple, will the monks and Taoists still support me?
"This matter is subject to discussion." Zhu Qiyu's eyes were not good. Never underestimate any courtier. Anyone might dig a hole for me to jump into.
Seeing that the emperor was deflated, the corners of Hu Hui's mouth turned up.
By killing Wang Zhi, you have also eliminated the civil servants' true attachment to him. Even if he turns into a dog, he may bite his master at any time.
Emperor, you are too reckless in what you do, and you are prone to backlash.
"Organize the refugees to collect stones, wood, etc. first. Cut down the trees in Gyeonggi first. Use the ones that can be used, and burn the firewood that can't be used."
It is extremely difficult to protect water and soil these days.
The discussion lasted for almost an hour. Zhu Qiyu drank a cup of tea. He was not stingy and gave tea to all the officials to moisten their throats.
"Your Majesty."
"Now that the inner palace is empty, the Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother, and I all need people to take care of us."
"The whole country is not stable, so we are temporarily unable to select draft girls."
"But my harem is empty and it is difficult for my heirs to continue. I shouldn't have said these words originally, but through today's court meeting, I will say it directly."
"All officials in the capital who have daughters in the family, who are over thirteen years old and unmarried, will all enter the palace to serve."
"An Xin, I am not a wolf, I just let them enter the palace and be the daughters of the palace."
"If I am pleased with you, it will be her blessing and your family's fortune. If I don't value it, I will release you from the palace when you reach the age of seventeen and get married on your own."
boom!
As soon as Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, the entire Fengtian Palace seemed to explode.
The officials looked at each other, frightened by the emperor's whimsical idea!
Send all the daughters of Beijing officials to the palace.
On the one hand, it is the emperor's selfish desire to possess the hearts of the beauties in the world.
On the other hand, it is the emperor who controls the minds of the officials.
He wants to hold all the officials firmly in his hands!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I think this matter is inappropriate and goes against the teachings of our ancestors!" Xue Xuan admonished with a trembling voice.
It's not that he is stubborn, but the ministers forced him to speak. Who made you a cabinet minister?
He was an honest man and was forced to speak.
"Are the ancestral precepts mentioned by Mr. Xue Ge the ancestral precepts of Taizu?"
Zhu Qiyu's voice went cold: "If it is the ancestral precept of Taizu, according to the income of the ministers last night, how many people should be skinned and grassed? Huh?"
"Is it still the ancestral precept of Taizong? Queen Renxiao came from a distinguished family and was the legitimate daughter of King Xu Da of Zhongshan!"
"Did Taizong establish the ancestral precepts? Or did the late emperor establish it?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "Mr. Xue Ge, I think you are old and confused!"
"Get out!"
"Kneel down!"
"Ah?" Xue Xuan's face turned pale, and she quickly got up and knelt outside the door of Fengtian Hall, not daring to speak as her whole body was still shaking.
After he finished speaking, he regretted it. It was lucky that the emperor did not operate on him.
He really wanted to leave the whirlpool of the court as soon as possible. If he left late, maybe there would be no one to eat.
"Who else objects?" Zhu Qiyu stared at everyone in the court with a sharp gaze.
Everyone kowtowed and bowed their heads, not even daring to raise their heads.
"Not only the officials in the capital, but all officials in the country are required to send their unmarried daughters to the palace to serve them. When they reach the age, they can be released from the palace and get married on their own."
"This is a custom made product that will be passed down from generation to generation."
"If someone commits fraud and betroths his daughter to someone in advance, his family will be punished, and the person who promised his daughter will be punished by his clan as well. There will be no forgiveness!"
"Officials, whether they are officials or civil servants, and the daughters they give birth to, regardless of how many they are, will all enter the palace as maids."
"Cabinet, decree."
Zhu Qiyu wanted to recruit all the young daughters of officials from all over the world into the palace.
It's not that he's anxious, he can't get so many women even if he's exhausted.
He wants to hold the hearts of the officials in the world in his hands.
These women are political resources. If they are used well, the whole country will be under his control.
Of course, who doesn't like beautiful girls? There are several beauties in common people's families, and there are many beauties in officials' families. They are all summoned to the palace, and it is a pleasure to look at them.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am worried that these girls are spoiled and will not serve Your Majesty." Wang Wen retorted cautiously.
"No one is born to serve others. Send them to me, and I will help train them for a few years. Then they can get a good family when they go out. I am doing it for their own good. The women who serve in the palace will be treated as well when they go out.
Superior!"
"By the way, like you, Wang Wen, you don't have a daughter at home, but you definitely have a granddaughter, and your granddaughter will also be in the palace to serve you."
"Xunchen's family is no exception."
"Every family must have a daughter to enter the palace. If there is no daughter in the family, she is not allowed to be an official or official. She will be removed from her official position. Anyone who commits fraud will be punished by the clan."
Zhu Qiyu slapped Wang Wen with his backhand.
You are a disobedient dog, why should I keep you?
Wang Wen's eyes widened and he shot himself in the foot!
Regret it!
He also regretted it. How great it would be if Chen Xun were alive!
At least he won't be burned on his head by the emperor. This is the second fire burned by the emperor when he takes back the imperial power!
What the emperor was interested in was not women, but the political resources behind these women.
However, there were also fights in the palace.
Every advantage has a disadvantage.
If these pampered eldest ladies enter the palace and become slaves, they will have to fight and cause a bloody storm. If they give birth to a dragon in the future, they may have their heads chopped off.
The palace will become a big battlefield, full of bloodshed.
From now on, the emperor will be worried.
I'm afraid that foreign relatives will be born again, and the era when generals with foreign relatives came to power in the Han Dynasty will appear again in the future.
Why did the Ming Dynasty choose harem concubines among common people? Isn’t it to stop foreign relatives from taking power?
The current emperor is confident that he can control the powerful and powerful in the world, but one day you will be old, and one day your son will grow up. When they are fighting, and your energy is low, you will have a headache, and you will know that you can choose the world.
What a mistake it was for the daughter of a hundred officials to enter the palace.
What about the kings of future generations? Can they kill to stop killing like you?
In the future, it is inevitable that relatives will take power, or even Li Tang's princes will rebel in order to seize the throne.
This is the way to bring chaos to the world!
"I have something to say first. From now on, my relatives will not be granted titles."
"The title of Ming Dynasty is not that cheap!"
"The titles of former relatives are no longer hereditary as of this generation."
"If you want to earn a World Voucher, go and fight on the battlefield."
"I'll give them a chance. If they don't have the ability and are just waiting to die, then just go die. My court will not support idlers, they will be useless!"
Zhu Qiyu spoke again.
The third fire was burned to the relatives.
But my relatives are not in Beijing, they are all in Xuanzang.
They were all in decline and could no longer make waves. The emperor could do whatever he wanted with them.
No one will speak for them.
Seeing that Zhu Kai had his arm broken last night and no one mentioned it at all in the court, you can understand your embarrassment.
The emperor hates nobles and nobles, so it is written on his forehead.
"I remind you again, there must be some people who think they are smart, Li Daitao is stiff, and they marry their daughters in advance to fool me!"
"Hmph, you dare to do it, I respect you as a man! But if I find out, your whole family will die!"
"Just think about it yourself."
"But it's not a big deal to serve in the palace for a few years."
"They serve me in the palace, you serve me in the court, and your father, daughter, and brothers are all loyal to me. Why don't I give you glory and wealth?"
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Retreat from the court."
"Tomorrow when the palace gate opens, people will have to register to enter the palace one after another. When ready, wait at the palace gate."
He glanced around, but no one dared to look up.
If you continue to be nagging, I will let your family have a son, castrate him and serve as a eunuch in the palace, hum!
"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"
After going to court, Zhu Qiyu was in high spirits and still not sleepy.
This is the emperor!
It’s so cool, taking control of the world and manipulating power, haha!
This is only the power of the capital, what about the world? What about the entire continent? What about the whole world?
Let me eat plain porridge for the rest of my life, and I will be happy.
"Your Majesty, are you unable to control the recruitment of so many people into the palace at once?" Feng Xiao followed the imperial chariot and asked in a low voice.
"Humph, few courtiers are obedient. I have not set a time limit, so they will definitely delay it as long as they can."
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "If I don't kill people, they won't be afraid, and I won't be in a hurry. When I kill people, it won't be something that a daughter can solve! Humph!"
"By the way, why didn't Zhao Rong go to court?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed coldly.
"For your information, Your Majesty, I suspect that Zhao Rong is in trouble."
"how come?"
Zhu Qiyu frowned, "Who dares to kill the dignified left minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
"My servant sent eunuchs to inquire. His family members said they did not see Mr. Zhao come home. His family members were also looking for him, but there was no news." Feng Xiao reported back.
"That's death."
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Who dares to kill a third-grade official? If there was chaos last night, it would be a feast for the officials. Their servants all have eyes, and no one dares to kill Zhao Rong."
"Who has the guts to kill Zhao Rong, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
"Factory guards, only factory guards have the courage and ability. But if it was a manslaughter, why wasn't it reported?"
Zhu Qiyu frowned, Shu Liang, or was Jin Zhong lying to him?
It shouldn’t be, don’t they know?
"To report to the Emperor, Eunuch Shu has come to report that the arm of Zhu Kai, the second son of Uncle Ning, was touched by Dongchang Scouting Colonel Meng Zhou. He submitted a memorial and asked the Emperor to read it."
Feng Xiao handed it to Zhu Qiyu, who waved his hand and said he wouldn't read it.
"Is this a patrol camp? Send someone to ask Cao Jixiang if anyone killed Zhao Rong?"
Zhu Qiyu does not doubt Shu Liang and Jin Zhong, so it was Cao Jixiang and Lu Zhong who spread the news last night. The murderer must be between these two people!
"My slave obeys the order!"
This matter must be clarified. How could a dignified third-grade official die in vain?
I can kill, but without my decree, who dares to kill? Provoke the court?
Returning to Qinzheng Hall, Zhu Qiyu had white porridge first.
"Your Majesty, my servant saw that you were working really hard, so I boiled an egg."
Feng Xiao took out an egg from his arms and knelt on the ground: "My slave boiled two eggs without your permission, and I ate one."
"Where did you get the eggs?" Zhu Qiyu asked him to use one.
"This slave asked Eunuch Shu to bring it back from outside the palace."
After Feng Xiao washed his hands, he carefully peeled it open, ate a small piece, and put it on a plate, waiting for the Holy Emperor to take it.
After a while, when the eggs were warm, Zhu Qiyu ate them.
Shu Liang brought it back, it's trustworthy.
"If you have a maid in the palace, you can't eat like this."
Zhu Qiyu ate carefully and was reluctant to throw away any scraps. The taste was really good: "The Shangshan Bureau needs to be rebuilt. There is no need to recruit too many people. I am not greedy. I just want nutritious food. Let Dr. Tan open some medicated food houses." Just do as the Food Bureau does."
"My slave obeys the order." Feng Xiao knelt down and kowtowed.
After using up the eggs, Zhu Qiyu still felt unfinished.
"How much did Shu Liang bring in?"
It is really easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
"Only ten."
"I'll use one every day."
A smile appeared on Feng Xiao's face: "Your Majesty, things are different now. You don't need to treat yourself harshly. You are the most noble person in the world and should use the best things. Your Holy Body is the most important thing in the world! "
"Let Dr. Tan prepare the medicinal diet." Zhu Qiyu nodded, unable to restrain his appetite.
"My slave obeys the order!"
Feng Xiao was very happy.
The eunuchs relied on the emperor. As long as the emperor was alive, they could control the situation.
"By the way, tell Shu Liang and Jin Zhong that the court will provide relief with work, and some of these refugees must stay in the capital."
"Let them set it up and bribe a large number of spies to go in."
"I want them to be my eyes and see the city life in the capital!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed: "Tell Shu Liang and Jin Zhong that you don't have to be afraid of spending money. I will also allocate some extra food to them."
"This slave takes the order."
Zhu Qiyu called Dong Ci over: "I plan to set up a royal trading house. You go to Dongchang and Jinyiwei will borrow a group of people to collect all the real estate of all merchants in the capital, including shops, workshops, etc."
"And the stewards of the original shops also changed their names, gathered together, and joined the Royal Trading Company."
"I want the workshop to open as soon as possible and recruit workers..."
Zhu Qiyu expressed his thoughts again.
Dong Ci seemed to understand but not quite.
He is not a business person, he is suitable for handling paperwork.
Xu Gan was suitable, but they all knew that the prisoner could not live without him. They all knew that the prisoner was building an inner prison, managing the treasury and money, and receiving firearms into the palace, so he was too busy to have time.
"Except for the house, I will accept everything else."
"Use those who are still alive if you can, and kill those who can't. There is no food in the capital to feed idle people, do you understand?"
"Weaving factories and porcelain factories should open as soon as possible and recruit women among the refugees to work in the factory. No men are allowed in the factory except eunuchs. Do you understand?"
"Use all the eunuchs who were sent out of the palace before."
Zhu Qiyu taught you step by step.
Dong Ci seems to understand better.
Zhu Qiyu is very tired.
After sending Dong Ci away, Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Go and ask Shu Liang if there are any businessmen who know how to make a living and come to the palace. Let me see if they can be used?"
"My servant obeys the order." Feng Xiao sent someone to convey the order.
"Well, please help me put my pillow down, and I will take a nap for a while." Zhu Qiyu took a nap first.
After sleeping until the afternoon, Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes.
When Feng Xiao heard the noise, he cautiously opened the door and came in, kneeling on the ground: "Your Majesty, your concubine is waiting for you in Dongnuan Pavilion."
"Yeah." Zhu Qiyu responded.
Feng Xiao handed over a glass of warm water, and Zhu Qiyu became more energetic after drinking it: "What is your concubine doing here?"
"I don't know this, but I think it has something to do with the emperor's order for the daughters of hundreds of officials to enter the palace."
Here comes the jealousy.
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Come on."
Sure enough, Concubine Tang was jealous, but she also thought about his health.
I thought the emperor wanted to accept women from all over the world as concubines, but I was worried that the emperor's body and bones would not be able to bear it.
Also, if the emperor recruits thousands of women out of the palace at one go, anyone else would have wild imaginations.
"I have the intention, but I am powerless."
Zhu Qiyu sighed, it would be great to have such an iron waist.
Concubine Tang rolled her eyes: "Your Majesty, I have an unkind favor."
"explain!"
"I would like to ask Your Majesty to accept Tan Yunxian as your concubine!" Tang Guifei knelt on the ground solemnly.
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "What did she tell you?"
"It's not about what the female doctor said to me, it's just that I'm worried about your majesty's health. Your majesty's good health is a blessing to all people and a blessing to the harem!"
Tang Guifei said in a roundabout way, I am afraid that if you drink too much and play to death again, my heart will not be able to bear it.
So I hired a female doctor to get an extra layer of insurance.
Zhu Qiyu rolled his eyes, am I such a anxious person?
I thought I was very clean and self-sufficient.
Concubine Tang rolled her eyes, even Li Xi'er has fascinated you. If all the beauties in the world enter the palace, you will be considered a loser if you can get up even one day early!
From now on, can you not have a good time?
Squeak!
But at this moment, the door of the room opened and Feng Xiao hurried in: "Your Majesty, Princess Shoukang is afraid that she may not be able to survive!"
"What?"
Concubine Tang was surprised at first: "How could it be possible? I went to see Shoukang the day before yesterday. Shoukang's body and bones have improved. How can you just say that it won't work?"
"If you return to the imperial concubine, I don't know, but the eunuch over there is here to report, slave, slave..." Feng Xiao carefully looked at Zhu Qiyu's face.
The Wang family has always been in Zhu Qiyu's heart.
But the love between father and daughter is still there.
"Have you gone to talk about the female doctor?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered. He had always suspected that the Wang family was a member of the Supreme Emperor!
Otherwise, why do you plead for the Supreme Emperor again and again?
Even if she lost her position, she was relegated to the cold palace and had a close relationship with the Supreme Emperor Qian and his empress.
What is going on with this Wang family?
"When I get back to the emperor, the female doctor has already gone, please come over!" Feng Xiao did not dare to mention Wang's name.
On the one hand, it is to take care of Zhu Qiyu, and on the other hand, it is to take care of Tang Guifei.
The Wang family was deposed and the Hang family took the throne, but the most favored one was Tang Guifei.
Feng Xiao didn't dare to guess who benefited the most from this.
