I am the king of the dead

Chapter 583

Zhu Qiyu's emperor's position was supported by Yu Qian.

The Empress Dowager Sun asked for the golden seal of Zhu Zhanqian, king of Xiang, and asked Zhu Zhanqian to come to Beijing to preside over the overall situation. As for whether he will be the emperor or the supervisory country will welcome Zhu Qizhen back, it is unknown.

And Zhu Qiyu was idle in Prince Yi's mansion, and he was dragged to Fengtian Hall to preside over the state without even hearing the bad news, and his supporter was Yu Qian.

Under the tradition of making three concessions, Yu Qian invited Zhu Qiyu to the throne three times.

Yu Qian is a loyal royalist, and he can only be a royalist, otherwise Yu Qian has only another way, that is to be a powerful minister, coercing the emperor to order the world.

Fortunately, the current Zhu Qiyu deserves this loyalty.

Zhu Qiyu delegated power to Yu Qian, which means he has full trust in Qian.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Yu Qian bowed his head, thanking Zhu Qiyu for delegating power, and thanking the emperor for his trust.

This kind of trust from the monarch and his ministers is a precious two-way rush, not only Yu Qian's own loyalty, but also Zhu Qiyu's recognition of Qian.

"I don't know what Yu Shaobao plans to do?" Zhu Qiyu asked curiously.

Since the Battle of the Capital, Yu Qian has seldom been involved in court battles, except for military affairs, that is, to offer advice and suggestions on the country's system. He would like to know the difference between Yu Qian and Hu Wei in dealing with this kind of party struggle.

Yu Qian said with a smile: "The minister will impeach the person who should be impeached based on Lu Zhong's investigation."

Impeachment is Yu Qian's method, a righteous way that the world only recognizes justice.

This is a completely different approach from Hu's.

Yu Qian said very solemnly: "The scourge of the witchcraft in Shenfusan, I will use heavy codes to warn others, please Zhu Yi, the commander of the Fourth Armed Forces Battalion, to cooperate."

"It should be meant." Zhu Qiyu nodded, signaling Xing'an to bring the fire card, Zhu Qiyu handed the fire card to Yu Qian and said: "Do whatever you want."

After Zhu Qiyu handed over the fire card for the defense of the capital of the Siwu Regiment to Yu Qian, he asked with some doubts: "They have been talking about people from far away from Xiuwen all day long. Isn't this peace negotiation just for Xiuwen? Why did they Are there so many troubles going to happen?"

"Will they be happy if they really fight?"

Yu Qian knew what His Majesty wanted to ask, but it was actually very simple, why.

Why did the edged sword fall from the central axis, why did someone leak the path of the mission, these behaviors are all undermining the peace agreement, according to the Ming Dynasty's propriety, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and trustworthiness, Zhu Qiyu's approach is what literati call benevolent government.

So why object?

Yu Qian took a sip of tea, thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, in the 20th year of Yongle, after Emperor Taizongwen took the dragon to the guests, Tatars, Wala, and Nvzhi went south to commit crimes every year, and people ate horses and chewed a lot of money, but they Still come every year."

"The people in the frontier either escaped into the city or built camps. Wala did not have any ability to attack the city, and there were few breaches of various camps. The annual looting income was far less than the loss. Why did they invade the border every year? "

Zhu Qiyu hesitated for a while and said: "Because there are benefits, there are people in the frontier army who communicate with foreign enemies and raise tigers to cause trouble? I remember that Xia Heng, Minister of Taipusi, once sorted out the horse affairs of the frontier for me, and said that in the frontier army, some People used to smuggle horses to make money, and they got a lot of money."

Yu Qian naturally also remembered that Xia Heng talked about the frontier army generals selling horses privately and amassing money wantonly. For this reason, the Ming Dynasty opened the Xuanfu Gongshi, and the Xuanfu Military Division was responsible for Zhu Chun in the matter.

Yu Qian nodded and said: "It is indeed profitable, the generals on the side are just one of them."

"Knocking on the side every year, and there is a lot of smoke in the side. Naturally, the city needs to be built, and the household department has to give money to build the city. Otherwise, what will happen when the Wala people come?"

"The construction of the city requires the recruitment of civilian laborers. How to convert this labor? How much? There is no fixed number, so you can make a big fuss."

"How much food and grass are needed for recruiting the peasants? Did the grain and grass end up in the stomachs of the peasants, or into whose pockets?"

"Rice is cheap in the Ming Dynasty, and rice is expensive in the Ming Dynasty. What did the recruited peasants eat? In the end, where the rice was mixed with soil and sold, His Majesty naturally has the answer in his heart."

"Wala Tatars go south every year, and there are military disasters every year. How low will the price of the land in this square land be? Who will take the opportunity to buy low and sell high?"

"It is also a big business to sell steel arrows, fire feathers, charcoal, grain, salt, and iron to Tatar and Oirat tribes. Back then, Yang Hong, the Duke of Ying, was in the Xuanfu, and he solved the steel arrows and fire feathers for His Majesty?"

"That Xining's accomplice was arrested for smuggling steel arrows and fire feathers, wasn't it?"

"There are so many people eating and drinking in Tatar's southward movement. His Majesty wants to treat Tatar equally and turn him into a king. Of course, some people are not happy."

Zhu Qiyu suddenly realized that in the final analysis, this group of people was uncharacteristically opposed to the peace negotiation, killed them without taking off, and even made a big fuss in the alliance letter, because behind it was all business.

And it's big business.

Zhu Qiyu suddenly remembered the fish oil of Ryukyu. When Shang Taijiu, the king of Ryukyu, had an audience with him, he once cried and told him why he wanted to be the offline king.

The fact that the Ryukyu king was in Jinkou was not because Shang Taijiu was so noble, but because he couldn't bear the burden of eating on Ryukyu, so he could only ask the emperor to make the decision.

Fish oil can improve eyesight, and it is urgently needed by the military, and even more so by the people, but fish oil from Ryukyu cannot be sold at a high price when it leaves Hong Kong, but it is extremely expensive when it arrives in the mainland of Ming Dynasty.

It's all the same.

If it wasn't for the fire in the Ryukyu Royal City, and Shang Taijiu came to the capital under the protection of Li Binyan and others, the people of Ryukyu would have been tortured like this all the time.

Yu Qian said very seriously: "What these meat eaters want to see most is to maintain the status quo. If there is no change, then they can lie on the mountain of gold and silver and enjoy wealth forever."

"Your Majesty fights, they will say that it is a waste of money and waste of money, and the army is too aggressive. If your Majesty does not fight, they will say that the smoke is everywhere and the side is tired. If your Majesty really wants to make peace, they will say that it must be fought. If His Majesty really wants to fight, they will make peace again."

Yu Qian is not a meat eater, everything in Jiuchongtang was given by Zhu Qiyu, because Yu Qian didn't need money in his life, and wanted to donate his salary to Daxing's Yebushou family, but Zhu Qiyu stopped him.

Yu Qian is an individual who betrayed the class.

"Since Yu Shaobao knew about this a long time ago, why didn't he say anything about it, don't say I didn't ask." Zhu Qiyu was a little strange, Yu Qian has always been upright, and Yu Qian didn't like this kind of thing, so he took care of it long ago, why? Wait until now to explain why?
Yu Qian looked to the north and asked, "Does Your Majesty want to kill all the Tatars?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head in denial and said: "I want to kill all the Tatars, why should I negotiate a peace with the Tatars? It's just a direct massacre by the army. It's not impossible for my army to do it."

"Your Majesty doesn't want to kill all the Tatars. Naturally, I won't say so." Yu Qian knew Zhu Qiyu very well, and it was unrealistic to kill them all. This was the disadvantage of Ming's high morality, which no one could get rid of.

Seeing that His Majesty was still a little puzzled, Yu Qian hurriedly said: "Since the defeat of Oala, the side has practiced many farm methods, and later established the Xuanfu Gongshi. The Tatar king only asked for silver coins. The targets of these past smuggling stalls are A lot has changed."

"In the past, they traded with the Tatar kings. Later, the Tatar kings only asked for silver coins. The silver coins of the Ming Dynasty were not enough. These merchants, brokers, and compradors could not supply silver coins. The trading partners became ordinary Tatar people."

"The Tatar people have little personal wealth, and they want to live, so they can only sell themselves to merchants."

"These merchants brought these Tatars back to Daming, treated them as refugees, and returned them to farms in various places. After farming, they paid back the money to redeem themselves."

Zhu Qiyu nodded solemnly. It turned out that he issued silver coins to the Tatars in the Xuanfu, and some people cooperated with his policy, because it made more profits.

Seeing that His Majesty was still quite curious about this matter, Yu Qian continued: "The debts of these refugees are scattered all over the place, and these merchants are not doing business at a loss. They usually resell their debts to local merchants. In this way, It’s guaranteed to get the money.”

"The merchants in Jing'an, Shanxi Xingdusi and other places are in charge of mediating this matter. The first batch of people have been invited back."

Zhu Qiyu has a familiar sense of déjà vu, thinking a little bit, isn't this the Ming version of the slave trade?
It's just because the Ming court is a big government that takes care of everything, and it also prohibits slavery, so it can only be a compromise.

The reason why Yu Qian didn't talk about it was because he didn't want to make a statement about this matter, and he took a multi-pronged approach to facilitate Tuotuobuhua's entry into Beijing to present the letter of alliance.

Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile: "If there is such a thing in the north, it should also be in the south. Is there someone in Champa, Jiaozhi, Srivijaya, Java, Borneo, Japan, Korea, who also specialize in this business?"

Yu Qian really knew about this, nodded and said: "Yes, Gao Liji, Japanese slaves, and Kunlun slaves all came here. There are men and women."

"Among them, Gao Liji is the most expensive, ranging from [-] silver coins to [-] silver coins. They are bought back as concubines, not as slaves."

"So that's how it is." Only then did Zhu Qiyu fully understand Yu Qian's thoughts.

Daming Maritime Trade is entering a new stage. Daming's production and sales are integrated, and you can get what you want. Overseas countries are too barren, and the goods are not enough. Using people as numbers is also a common form of trading in the current Maritime Trade.

Zhu Qiyu reserved his own opinion on this matter. Since Yu Qian knew these things in detail and didn't write a memorial, it means that Yu Qian knew this matter well.

Yu Qian didn't say anything, it doesn't mean he didn't do anything, it's all within the controllable range.

Gao Liji, a specialty of North Korea, is similar to the thin horse of the Ming Dynasty. It is a place in North Korea that specializes in cultivating women who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. They are sent to the Ming Dynasty for sale. It is a high-end product.

"Your Majesty, I will leave." After Yu Qian saw that His Majesty's doubts were all cleared up, he was ready to go to work.

What Yu Qian harbored in his heart was Daren, not a woman's benevolence, Zhu Qiyu soon saw Yu Qian's thunderous means.

All the voodoo and Gu techniques that peddled Shen Fusan were jointly wiped out by Yu Qian and Zhu Yi.

The three government orders continued, urging them to stop beguiling the people immediately, and all those who refused to close their doors were arrested and sent to various government factories for labor reform, and anyone who resisted would be shot to death.

Master Yu, who was full of murderous looks, later showed his vigorous and resolute style of doing things. A large number of bandits and bandits disappeared along with the scattered talismans.

On the third day, Yu Qian made a memorial together to impeach a total of 32 Beijing officials headed by the right servant of the Ministry of Rites and Yang Shan, the minister of Honglu Temple.

Among them, 13 were dismissed from office and exiled to the smoky land, [-] were dismissed from office and sent to Shijingchang, and two others were to be executed according to the law.

Yang Shan, as the chief culprit, has already been involved in heinous crimes and should be sent to Jieyuan.

Zhu Qiyu only waited for one day, and the impeachment of Yang Shan and others floated into the Imperial Study Room of Tai'an Palace like snowflakes.

The tree fell and scattered.

"Old Wang Ge." Zhu Qiyu Zhu approved the memorial. The death penalty needs to be reviewed three times. This list will be checked and supplemented. The one who sent the memorial is Wang Wen, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Wang Wen has been in office for 19 years. He once served as the chief constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He is now a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Zhu Qiyu is quite satisfied with Wang Wen's work in the past few years.

Wang Wen bowed his head and said, "The minister is here."

"Yang Shan once went out under the command of King Jili. After the Tumu Fortress changed, he disguised himself and went back to Daming with hunger and hunger all the way. At that time, Li Xian came back together. The hands of the two were as skinny as chicken feet. head."

"Because of Shaobao's recommendation, both Yang Shan and Li Xian became Shu Jishi, and were then sent to Honglu Temple." Zhu Qiyu talked about Yang Shan's resume.

This Yang Shan should be regarded as Yu Qian's man.

Yang Shan was not a little-known person like Li Xian during the Zhengtong period. When Yang Shanhu went to war with King Jili, he was already the left servant of the Ministry of Rites.

As a member of the second rank, if Yang Shan was willing to surrender back then, Yang Shan's position in Oala would be no less than Wang Fu's position in Oirat now. Although this person is a little impatient, he can still be regarded as a person who knows people and makes good use of them. .

But Yang Shan would rather put aside all his decency, pretend to be a prisoner in a disgraceful manner, mix with the lower Liba people, and return to Daming with his chest stuck to his back in hunger.

You must know that in these days, it is a degrading expression for scholars to stand and drink while wearing long gowns.

"Whether it is Honglu Temple or the Ministry of Rites, Yang Shan has done a good job, and I appreciate him very much."

"Sending him to Jieyuan is not enough, let's behead him." Zhu Qiyu thought about Yang Shan's refusal to surrender, and finally decided not to let Yang Shan go to Jiejieyuan, but beheaded to show the public.

Back then, Yang Shan left the last decency for himself, and when he returned to Daming, Zhu Qiyu also left Yang Shan the last decency by beheading him for public display instead of sending him to Jiejie Yuan, which is half human and half ghost.

Whether it is the scattered divine talismans, the edged sword that fell out of Fengtian Temple, or the marching path of the Daming Mission, it is all controlled by Yang Shan behind the scenes.

"Bring Yang Shan here, I want to meet him." Zhu Qiyu said wearily.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu has certain psychological expectations about who is behind the scenes. There are not many people who can do these things, and the scope is so large.

Zhu Qiyu leaned on the back of the chair without saying a word, and there was a little silence in the imperial study room of Juxian Pavilion.

Yang Shan was quickly taken to Juxian Pavilion and escorted by two Tiqi.

"The sinful minister pays homage to His Majesty, Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." Yang Shan bowed his head in a respectful manner and shouted loudly.

Zhu Qiyu didn't speak, just looked at Yang Shan for a long time.

"Xu Youzhen recently gave a Taoist memorial, saying that the Wujiang River is about to be connected. The coal from the Liuzhi Factory sells well in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou. It only takes more than a month." Zhu Qiyu continued: "I still have to prepare a miracle card for him."

The reason why he mentioned Xu Youzhen was because Xu Youzhen and Yang Shan were the same type of people, they both liked political opportunism very much, and Xu Youzhen and Yang Shan were the representatives of the civil servants who initiated the change of seizing the door.

But Xu Youzhen walked on a completely different path from Yang Shan, whether it was because she was afraid of death or because she suddenly realized it.

Zhu Qiyu didn't like Xu Youzhen, everyone in the civil and military court knew that Xu Youzhen was really annoying, King Jili took his wife to the north, and the whole square heard Xu Youzhen crying.

Who are you crying for?
But Xu Youzhen continued to take away from Zhu Qiyu the miracle cards that symbolized the highest honor.

Zhu Qiyu felt very sorry for Yang Shan. If he behaved well, wouldn't he be the only one who has the final say on the Ministry of Rites when Hu Wei is old? !

However, Yang Shan still went astray after missing this critical step.

"I am ashamed of your grace." Yang Shan knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said: "Life is full of divergences. Now it's too late for me to tell you anything, so I won't send you to Jieyuan. In the last few days, eat and drink well. Get ready to go on the road."

　The road is difficult, the road is difficult, there are many divergent roads, where are you today?
