I am the king of the dead

Chapter 324 Tai'an Palace Attacked

"Compared with Emperor Gao and Emperor Wen, I am wronged by this point, it is not wronged at all." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.

Why did Yu Qian say that the emperor was wronged?
His Majesty is in charge of the world's artifacts, and he is dedicated to the public. He has never abolished the public for personal reasons, and has never wronged a good person. To this day, among all the people killed by His Majesty, is there one who deserves to die?

But even if it is as wise as His Majesty, there are still some people who secretly join forces to rebel and cause trouble.

Your Majesty did not make people unable to live. The imperial court gave the gentry a leniency in payment of taxes, labor, and laws, allowing them to settle down and herdsmen. Did they do it?

The imperial court gave the status and favor to the relatives, did they achieve the honor of long-term relatives, respect the festival of ministers, and empathize with the emperor?
The imperial court gave the officials power, but did these officials take care of His Majesty and benefit the people?

No.

It's just that the test method is introduced, setting limits to test things, taking responsibility for things, and putting government affairs as the top priority. Isn't this the duty of a courtier?

Isn't it breaking the rules of the same list, fellow countrymen, fellow teachers, the simple human relations and officialdom in the past?
But they started to move around, and even rebelled with Huichangbo Mansion. Isn't Your Majesty being wronged?

Yu Qian said that His Majesty was wronged, and naturally he was really wronged.

Your Majesty accepted the order as a prince when he was in danger, ascended to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and what he has done so far has not been dedicated to the public. Has there ever been a little bit of slack?
Just such a British Lord, the world will be punished.

This is not a grievance, what is it?

Compared with the grievances of Emperor Taizu Gao, the countless Confucian scholars of the Yuan Dynasty, and the countless officials who missed my Dayuan lenient; Bei, His Majesty was indeed wronged.

Yu Qian was filled with emotion.

"Life is alive, how can everything go well?" Zhu Qiyu didn't care much, and it was good to jump out, saving Zhu Qiyu from fishing one by one.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "The six ministries, six divisions, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have sent a list of Secret Tui cabinet members. I wonder if Yu Shaobao wants to see it?"

Yu Qian shook his head helplessly, His Majesty still has this temperament, if there is nothing to do, when will he give up this persistence?If you can't catch it all the time, don't catch it.

Yu Qian is Yu Shaobao, can he take this kind of bait?
He bowed his head and said, "I don't want to see it."

Zhu Qiyu was slightly disappointed, and said with a smile: "Yu Shaobao knows, who is recommended the most? That is..."

Yu Qian bowed his head again and said: "Your Majesty, I went to the Ministry of War to supervise the urgent affairs of the official road and post road, and I will leave."

Looking at Yu Qian's hurried figure, Zhu Qiyu could only shake his head, not being fooled.

These officials in the court are really cunning.

Ting Tui Ge Lao is a rule that has existed since the establishment of Wen Yuan Pavilion in Ming Dynasty.

Among them, Chen Xun and Shang Ren were most recommended.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a tradition of not entering the Hanlin Academy, not being admitted to the Hanlin Academy, and not being admitted to the cabinet.

Zhu Qiyu understands this unspoken rule, but does not support it.

After the implementation of the examination method, Wenyuan Pavilion's powers have changed. It is no longer as simple as sorting out the memorials of the articles, but the power to manage the six subjects, which is extremely powerful.

Where is the responsibility that a group of good-for-nothings who study hard, read dead books, and chant scriptures all day long can take on?

Zhu Qiyu planned to let Chen Xun concentrate on studying "Huan Yu Tong Zhi" in the Hanlin Academy. Since he was good at writing, he would write writing.

He originally planned to discuss with Yu Qian and let Yu Qian take on some more burdens, but obviously Yu Qian obviously didn't take this bait, and he didn't want to get involved in this matter at all.

As for Shang Ren, Zhu Qiyu is not going to use Sanyuan Jidi, which was orthodox ten years ago.

At first, Zhu Qiyu felt a little nervous. Huang Guan, who was the last six yuan and ranked first, fooled Emperor Jianwen to cut down feudal clans and martial arts all day long, and finally tossed out the battle of Jingnan.

Zhu Qiyu trembled when he heard the three yuan and the first, and Zhu Qiyu didn't even bother to pay attention to the high theory.

Zhu Qiyu took aim at Zuodu Yushi, the chief constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Wang Wen, the envoy in charge.

But none of the courtiers recommended Wang Wen, because Wang Wen was not Wen Linlang of the Imperial Academy. Wang Wenyongle was born in the same ranking as Yu Qian in 19 years. It took several years to enter the capital.

Non-Jinshi cannot enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin cannot enter the cabinet. Zhu Qiyu does not intend to abide by this unspoken rule.

Before the Yuan Dynasty, people-friendly officials in non-states and counties were not allowed to be prime ministers. In Qin, Han, Tang and Song Dynasties, almost any prime minister had the experience of being a people-friendly official.

But when it came to Ming Dynasty, it became that non-Hanlin was not allowed to join the cabinet. This was a necessary means for the imperial court to centralize power.

This change has turned the Imperial Academy, the cabinet, and the court into a place for high-spirited talk. If you don't understand local affairs, how can you manage the affairs of the world?
If it floats too high, it will not do well for the government.

Empty talk harms the country, but hard work rejuvenates the country.

Once Wang Wen entered the cabinet, Chen Yi would have to be transferred back to Beijing to take up the position of chief constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Wang Wen himself would be the co-administrator, and he was too busy to handle it.

The other person is Hu Wei's left servant of the Ministry of Rites, named Yang Ning, who manages the affairs of the Ministry together with Hu Wei, and helps Hu Wei to take charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.

Yang Ning and Mu Sheng used to work together in Yunnan, set up garrisons to control the barbarians, and once served as a military counselor, he was the same person as Hu Wei.

Yang Ning, as Wang Wen's deputy, is responsible for sorting out Wenyuan Pavilion.

The position of the right governor of the Chinese military governor's mansion was vacant, Zhu Qiyu gave this position to Shi Heng, and Zhu Qiyu gave the position of the right governor of the former army governor's mansion to Yang Jun.

Zhang Fu's two younger brothers ran away, and these two positions were given to Shi Heng and Yang Jun, so that the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion could be operated again.

In order to deal with the rebellion, Zhu Qiyu carried out a whole discussion of personnel transfers.

He went to the lecture hall again to deal with important political affairs.

It was not until night that Zhu Qiyu returned to Tai'an Palace.

Zheng Xu Dun, the Zhongguan of the Qin Tianjian, was right, the recent weather, apart from being colder than usual, is indeed full of bright moon and few stars.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky like a jade plate, and the moonlight falls from the sky like a waterfall, coating the entire capital with a layer of silvery white. Occasionally, birds fly by, but they leave behind afterimages.

The moon slanted west quietly, and finally arrived at Yinshi (three o'clock in the middle of the night), the moonlight still illuminated the entire capital, and countless figures kept turning out from the Lighting Square and Huanghua Square. The palace kept approaching.

Yu Qian's prediction was correct. Uncle Hui Chang did indeed plan to rob Prince Ji's mansion and take away Prince Ji's son or Prince Ji's heir. As long as he can reach Nanjing safely, the rebellion plan can be carried out in full swing.

The Ten Kings' Mansion is located in Qingqingfang. Zhu Qiyu's Prince Yi's Mansion continues to expand, and eventually half of Qingmingfang is included. The Ten Kings' Mansion is located in the southeast of Qingmingfang, facing Tai'an Palace far away.

Tai'an Palace has Tiqi patrols, and Qingming Square, as the outer wall of Tai'an Palace, has also done some city defense tasks such as raising the height, wrapping bricks, and setting up overlooking towers and horse paths.

Those hidden figures kept throwing out the hook locks in their hands, trying to climb over the wall.

"Crack."

There was a sound of claws falling to the ground.

Lu Zhong, who was dozing off in the overlooking building of Clarification Workshop, opened his eyes suddenly, put on his mask, and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack!"

When he yelled, the copper bell in the four-corner building had already started to ring suddenly, and there were people on the square wall.

In the sound of the copper bell, the torch, like a yellow dragon, instantly lit up the entire wall of the clarification workshop.

The Tiqi on the wall became restless.

The first to ring out was the flintlock pistols that the Tiqis were equipped with. The first wave of people who wanted to climb the wall in the dark were killed immediately.

Lu Zhong picked up a blunderbuss, aimed at an enemy with a bow and arrow, and pulled the trigger.

The matchlock fell into the fire door, ignited the primer, and the primer burned into the medicine chamber. The gunpowder exploded, and the lead whizzed away, landing on the enemy's forehead.

Lu Zhong often compares martial arts with His Majesty, to be exact, in the use of firecrackers, Lu Zhong always loses to His Majesty very cleverly.

In fact, he manipulated his hand guns and bird guns like his arms, and he couldn't say where he pointed, but he could only shoot without missing a shot.

In a contest with His Majesty, His Majesty must win.

Lu Zhong didn't load the gunpowder, and shouted loudly: "Commander! Send the order, sharpshooter, aim at the enemy's rocket-carrying person, but if an arrow feather falls into the Tai'an Palace, the whole team will sit together, and the military law will be discussed! "

The Commander started running.

The sharpshooter is Lu Zhong training Tiqi, a group of Tiqi with good marksmanship specially set up, specially trained to deal with emergencies.

During the communication between the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, a group of people in the Jin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty attacked the city with more than a dozen layers of cowhide armor, only one eye was exposed, which was extremely difficult. For this reason, the Southern Song Dynasty specially trained sharpshooters to shoot the eyes of these cowhide armor siege troops to break the enemy. .

If you want to be a sharpshooter, you have to hit every shot with a handgun, and you can be considered a sharpshooter without missing a shot.

Lu Zhong is obviously a sharpshooter.

However, Lu Zhong did not reload the gunpowder, but picked up a new bird gun, and pointed it at another enemy again. That person was about to draw a bow and shoot an arrow, which was also a rocket.

After Lu Zhong fired his gun, the lead bullets embedded in the eyebrows of the enemy, the archer fell to the ground, the arrow went to the sky, and then fell from the sky, stabbing heavily on the archer's body, igniting the unlucky archer.

The archer trembled a few times, then stopped moving.

The sharpshooters each have ten birdcracks filled with gunpowder, which can be fired at any time.

There are about 100 sharpshooters on watch at night, so more than a thousand bird guns are filled every day, but they never sound.

waste?It's quite a waste.

To maintain a thousand shot guns that can be fired at any time requires nearly 50 silver coins a day, and the defense expenditure of the entire Tai'an Palace costs at least [-] silver coins a year.

Is it expensive?It is quite expensive.

But how much is the great emperor's head worth?
Even Xing'an, who was so tight, never had any dissatisfaction with this matter. On the contrary, Xing'an asked for more money several times.

Isn't the great emperor spending so much money?

Lu Zhong issued an order not to let an arrow shoot into Tai'an Palace, it would be a real arrow, and it had never landed on the outer wall of Qingqingfang, let alone Tai'an Palace.

The four Tianzi Tiqi, wearing plate armor, slid down the rope from the wall of the square, and led a group of Tiqi behind them to fight with the bandits.

These Tiqi are all soldiers in Mingguang armor. The only difference between their armor and Tianzi Tiqi is that there are fewer patterns.

Tiqi, dressed in bright armor, is like a lion falling into a flock of sheep, invincible.

Every time the hook, sickle, gun and knife flashed, there were patches of blood mist, and the enemy fell to the ground wailing.

When it suddenly sounded on the wall of Qingqingfang, the rapid copper bell sounded immediately on all the walls and towers of the workshop, waking up the sleeping capital.

The Jinyiwei yamen moved in response to the sound, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities moved in response to the sound.

Even the Siwu regiment camp and the Siyong regiment camp outside the city were full of noisy voices, and they quickly gathered in the school grounds, waiting to enter Beijing at any time.

This bell has never rang at night in the capital, but the soldiers are extremely sensitive to this sound. Once they heard it, they immediately put on their armor, received firecrackers, long and short soldiers from the arsenal, and in less than half a quarter of an hour , the gate of Jinyiwei opened, and countless Tiqi rushed towards the clarification workshop.

With the sound of horseshoes, the soldiers and horses of the five cities all moved towards each square within a quarter of an hour.

Zhu Qiyu woke up suddenly from sleep, listened carefully to the voice outside the window, and began to dress.

He said to Empress Wang: "Be safe and don't be impatient. I will go out and have a look. You stay still. If there is any change, from the secret road to the Jinyiwei Yamen, someone will take you and the children away."

There is a secret road from Tai'an Palace to Jinyiwei. This secret road was excavated by Tiqi. If Tiqi also betrayed, Queen Wang and the others would not be able to fly out of the capital even if they put on wings.

Empress Wang hurriedly got dressed and went to the child's side hall.

After Zhu Qiyu packed up, he walked out of the room and saw Xing'an waiting in front of the door.

"Your Majesty, Xiaoxiao made a disturbance. He didn't even cross the wall of the clarification workshop. Tiqi has already arrived outside the workshop. Your Majesty will sleep again? It's only three o'clock." Xing'an bowed his head and said.

Queen Wang heard that nothing happened and did not wake up the children, so she stood behind Zhu Qiyu.

"Are you all right?" Zhu Qiyu understood, he spent more than 50 silver coins in the clarification workshop every year, and it seemed that the effect was good.

People who are looking for death are full of bags.

The palace gate of Tai'an Palace opened, and the palace gate of Qingqingfang opened. Lu Zhong and Yuan Bin had already extinguished the fire outside Qingqingfang.

Lu Zhong was fully armored, came to the Tai'an Hall, saluted and said: "I'm going to die."

"It's been dealt with cleanly?" Zhu Qiyu gestured to Lu Zhongping, and he said with a smile: "Don't talk about capital crimes in the future, this time you handled it very well, and not a single tile in the clarification workshop was broken, so why is there a capital crime? "

Lu Zhong stood up, bowed his head and said: "The thieves are either dead or captured. Several leaders have been arrested. They are ready to interrogate overnight. They should be from Huichangbo Mansion. They want to rob everyone in Jiwang Mansion."

"Maybe I haven't been to the capital for a long time. I don't know that there has been a change in the clarification workshop."

"Otherwise I wouldn't have come to die."

Apparently, Sun Jizong underestimated the defense capabilities of Tai'an Palace and Qingfang where the Ten Princes' Mansion is located, otherwise he would not have sent someone to send him to his death.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Very good. Tonight's Tiqi will be rewarded with fifty silver coins, and five city soldiers and horse commanders will be rewarded with ten silver coins each. Not bad, the response is very fast."

Lu Zhong bowed to the command and continued: "The leader confessed that their target is Prince Ji's Mansion, but the main direction of attack is actually Tai'an Palace, intending to create chaos and then rob everyone in Prince Ji's Mansion."

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while: "It's not stupid. They know how to make noises, but it's a pity that they don't know that our Tai'an Palace has been expanded."

Sun Jizong's conspiracies and tricks are quite interesting, not the kind of stupid donkeys who close their eyes and do things.

What does it mean that water cannot be poured in?

Don't even think about falling an arrow into Tai'an Palace, even if you splash water.

Lu Zhong said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, do you want to build a diamond-shaped artillery mortar? Install a few cannons of the General Zhenglu?"
