Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 170 If you like to kowtow, keep kowtow until you wake up
On the hillside outside the Great Wall.

The Maoli kid lay on the ground, his eyes widened, full of hatred and unwillingness.

"Boss! Boss!" His personal guard helped the Maoli boy up.

"Go, go home..."

The Maurice told him.

The sound of the guns kept coming and going, and someone was lying in ambush on the Great Wall, firing guns at the bottom!
"Go back to the grassland under my banner and let my younger brother succeed me."

"Remember, make peace with Daming, belong to Daming, and maintain the tribe."

"Abolish Daiqin's Khan position and support Mark Gurgis' Khan position."

"My wife and children will be taken care of by my brother, don't avenge me, don't avenge me..." Mao Lihai's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared.

The guard wailed loudly.

They are noble children who grew up with the Mauri boy and are his most loyal servants.

But at the moment he is confused.

The leader didn't tell him how to break out of the encirclement.

He looked at his subordinates who were mourning, and felt even more confused. He didn't even know where the enemy was, so how could he go home?

The firecracker is also weird.

As long as someone tried to cross the Great Wall, they would be shot, and if no one tried to cross the Great Wall, they would not be fired.

It shows that someone is lying on the Great Wall, looking down.

So, has the former army crossed the Great Wall?

A trace of doubt appeared in the guard's eyes.

Immediately, his eyes were firm, and he must bring the body of the Maoli boy back to the grassland.

The ambush lying on the Great Wall is none other than Qi Zhuo.

"Eunuch, the lead is not enough." The subordinate reported.

"Don't worry, hit a few fierce waves to scare them, and no one will dare to cross the Great Wall!" Qi Zhuo's eyes were firm.

He wanted to block the Tatar soldiers in the Great Wall.

Waiting for dawn, let Yu Qian send troops to harvest heads.

As for the former Tatar army, very few had crossed the Great Wall, and most of them hid under the Great Wall, waiting for the projectiles above to be consumed before forcibly crossing over.

Qi Zhuo had only 2300 gunners, and a new army of more than 1000 refugees, totaling 4000 people.

Projectiles were scarce and there were no supplies.

Therefore, use projectiles to deter instead of killing the enemy, so that the people below will not dare to cross the Great Wall until dawn.

As for killing the Maoli boy, it was purely manslaughter, Qi Zhuo didn't know it at all.

"Follow the order!"

Originally, these soldiers looked down on the eunuch.

Thought it was an eggless coward.

In the end, Qi Zhuo told them with practical actions that our family can also endure hardships that you can endure, and our family can think of things that you can't think of.

After several times of killing and capturing the enemy, Qi Zhuo completely reaped the morale of the army.

He also gathered refugees to join the army, rushed to the Great Wall first, boarded the Great Wall, and set up an ambush on the Great Wall.

Little stars twinkled in the eyes of these gunners looking at Qi Zhuo.

Qi Zhuo, however, was always sullen, and kept thinking differently. If he were a Tatar soldier, how would he cross the Great Wall?
Abandon the horse!

If a large number of horses can be captured, it is also a military exploit!
Qi Zhuo began to think.

Department of Yu Qian.

As the battle drew to a close, he left 5000 men to sweep the field.

I am afraid that there are too many gains this time. Not only did the Tatars fail to grab them, but they even took what they brought with them.

He personally led the troops to press forward.

Compress the living space of the Tatar soldiers and make them jittery.

Gathering Hu Bin and Gu Rong, under the pier, Yu Qian ordered the soldiers to rest.

Yu Qian was also very tired, so he handed over all the defense to Hu Bin, and then went to sleep on the pier.

He is very relieved.

Hu Bin is more suitable than him to deal with the aftermath of government affairs.

Before dawn the next day, Yu Qian only slept for an hour and a half before getting up.

Wash your face with cold water and refresh yourself.

The cook has already prepared the meals, all arranged by Hu Bin.

Yu Qian was very satisfied, knowing that Hu Bin would not enjoy the results, but would continue to develop.

All ambitious people.

Let Yebu accept it first, and then send it to investigate the situation.

When Yu Qian heard that the Tatar soldiers were blocked in the Great Wall and did not cross the Great Wall.

Immediately startled: "You guys have set up a backhand?"

Gu Rong scratched his hair: "It's all arranged by Hu Zongbing, and the bidder doesn't know."

He sent someone to find Hu Bin.

Hu Bin was also confused: "Marshal, I don't think Bu has any soldiers. Tell me, could it be Eunuch Qi?"

"Since it's not you, it must be him!" Yu Qian really didn't realize that this taciturn Qi Zhuo was also a general.

Your Majesty is really discerning. The Hu Bin, Wu Zun, and Qi Zhuo sent here are all talents.

"Bring me the map!"

Yu Qian stared at the map: "Eunuch Qi doesn't have many soldiers, and the lead is probably exhausted."

"They are persevering because they believe in this coach and can expand the results of the battle."

"As soon as the sun rises, these Tatar soldiers will break through, and Eunuch Qi's troops will not be able to stop them."

Yu Qian muttered: "Let the cavalry go first and put pressure on the Tatar soldiers."

"Gu Rong, you lead the cavalry yourself!"

"Go to battle!"

The Great Wall is dangerous and long. After dawn, the Tatar soldiers can test where there is an ambush, and they can quickly find the gap and climb over the Great Wall.

Fortunately, all the siege equipment was lost here.

They had no choice but to abandon their horses and cross the Great Wall, walking back to Mobei.

Yu Qian's eyes flickered, and he thought of something: "Is Duke Qi also thinking about fighting horses?"

"Even if there are no people left, the horses must be kept, and the Tatar soldiers are not allowed to kill the horses!"

"Without horses, how can the Tatar soldiers return to the tribe alive?"

"Decree to all border gates that once the Tatar soldiers cross the Great Wall, they will send cavalry to pursue them!"

"There is no need to guard the city gate!"

"Hu Bin, the commander-in-chief gave you 1 people, you come to guard the city gate!"

Yu Qian made a quick decision.

He was just about to say send Tarr after him.

But he swallowed it back.

Once Tal was let out of the Great Wall, he might not come back.

This kind of stupid thing can't be done. There is only one last step left in the Long March, and it can't be broken on the way.

"Zhang Gu, you lead your troops to fall behind Gu Rong."

"Gu Rong is in charge of chasing, and you are in charge of surrendering!"

"Hurry up!"

Yu Qian is giving Zhang Gu a chance.

As a civil servant, he was also thinking about strengthening the military power of the civil servants to check and balance the imperial power.

It depends on whether Zhang Gu can't live up to his expectations.

"The next official obeys the order!" Zhang Gu had long wanted to flex his muscles.

"Have the soldiers finished their food?"

After Yu Qian asked, "take a quarter of an hour's rest, the cavalry will leave first, and the infantry will rest for two quarters."

Soon, the cavalry attacked.

Zhang Gu led the infantry and fell behind.

Yu Qian didn't go in person, the war is coming to an end, the key point is to count and seize and report to His Majesty.

At this time, post-war counting and pensions are more important than fighting.

These soldiers were willing to sacrifice their lives on the battlefield because they believed in Da Ming. Even if they died, the court would send them relief after the war.

In the past, there was a trend of greed from top to bottom, which led to the low combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

But the emperor was determined to eradicate corruption.

Yu Qian resolutely does not allow this to happen to his subordinates.

For the pensions issued by the court, every copper coin must be paid to the real place.

He will send someone to investigate, and will invite the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Supervision Department to investigate.

The military officials were so busy that they hit the back of their heads with their feet, and those who didn't sleep counted overnight.

The seized materials should be escorted into the official treasury.

Soon, the results of the battle were reported first.

The Tatar soldiers lost about 8.5 people and captured 3.2 people.

There are estimated to be more than [-] missing, and it is not known whether they ran away or died.

The loss of the Ming army was not small, with 6 people lost in battle and countless supplies, estimated to be around 200 million taels.

This figure made even Yu Qian click his tongue. If the emperor hadn't tried his best to transfer his luck in the court and the center had fully supported him, he would not have won this battle at all.

Although he is well-deserved number one in military exploits, it is the emperor who really supports him in victory.

The emperor supported him regardless of the consequences, suppressed all opposing forces, and tried his best to transship the country's supplies, emptying the internal funds and the household department, without even complaining to Yu Qian.

It was this support that made the battle so smooth and achieved such great results.

But even more gratifying is the capture.

Even Yu Qian couldn't sit still: "Have you seized so many?"

Captured 18 war horses, more than 30 sheep, and more than 2000 cattle.

There are also countless armors, bows, swords and other weapons, as well as carriages, boats and so on.

More than two hundred thousand taels of gold and more than one million taels of silver.

The main reason for the lack of cattle is that the fire cattle array was used, and the soldiers were full of the beef they ate this morning.

The dead cattle, horses and sheep were all made into dried meat and used as military rations.

Is that too much?

Yu Qian was dumbfounded.

"Back to Commander, there is still no statistics!" Wu Zun was going crazy.

"And?" Yu Qian was really surprised, is Tatar so rich?

More than 20 taels of gold.

The Ming Dynasty lacked gold, silver and copper, and the Tatars did not produce gold. Where did the gold come from?

nonsense.

They were all scavenged by their ancestors from the Central Plains.

There are more than 100 million taels of silver in cash.

It can be said that this battle not only did not lose money, but also made a fortune.

Instead, defeating the Tatars came second.

"The soldiers are still being searched one by one, and it is estimated that some can be scraped out." Wu Zun replied.

As for soldiers being greedy for ink, everyone knows it well.

After winning the battle, naturally hello, hello, hello everyone.

There is no need to haggle over every detail and let the soldiers lose their morals.

"According to the statements of the captured prisoners, the dignitaries of various Tatar ethnic groups put their families in Hengxi City, and there are more than [-] horses in the city."

Yu Qian gasped!
It really paid off this time.

The result of the battle in Xuanzhen was much greater.

If you report it to His Majesty, His Majesty will probably be too shocked to keep his mouth shut.

"Quick, send someone to gather those family members!"

"Back to Commander, Hu Zongbing has already sent someone to arrest him!" Wu Zun reported back.

This Hu Bin is very similar to him in doing things.

Although Hu Bin is the chief soldier, but when the results of the battle are reported to the court, a chief soldier can't stop Hu Bin's achievements.

"Good! Great!"

"Quickly calculate the statistics, write the battle report, and submit it to His Majesty!"

"The pension does not have to wait for the approval of the central government."

"After you count the seizure, you will start to issue pensions."

"Especially for those brothers who died in battle, the pension must be sent to their families."

"There are also those Tatar soldiers. The commander promised to develop them tomorrow morning. They will be distributed in front of all the soldiers, and they will be distributed to the soldiers."

"Do you understand?"

Yu Qian's eyes were firm.

When the Ming army, you can feel at ease.

Don't worry if you die in battle, your wife will take care of you!

This is the emperor's heart for Daming.

That's why the Ming army is not afraid of death. In the past, money and food could not be paid, who would give you a dog to fight for your life.

"Marshal, this is against the rules." Wu Zun was worried that the center would scold Yu Qian.

Yu Qian's achievements are so high that it is inevitable to arouse the suspicion of the emperor.

If you arouse the emperor's suspicion because of stabilizing the morale of the army, the loss outweighs the gain.

"It's okay!"

Yu Qian saw through what he was thinking: "In the secret decree given to me by Your Majesty, I have repeatedly told me to follow the matter urgently, and the three towns in the Northeast will be given to me!"

"Besides, His Majesty is not the king who settles accounts after autumn."

"Don't worry."

This is what Yu Qian admired the emperor the most.

Let go completely.

Let him do what he wants, and the emperor of the court will support him.

Besides, since his achievements are so great, Yu Qian will naturally make some mistakes, otherwise His Majesty will have nothing to reward him, wouldn't it be difficult for His Majesty?

At some point, Yu Qian also learned to defile himself.

At this time, a letter came from the front line.

Qi Zhuo cooperated with Gu Rong to ambush the Tatar soldiers, causing the Tatar soldiers to collapse. More than 1 people knelt down and begged for surrender, and more than [-] people crossed the Great Wall.

Since the Tatar soldiers had no breakfast and wanted to climb the Great Wall, they simply killed horses and drank blood to replenish their strength, and ate some raw meat to climb the Great Wall.

Fortunately, Gu Rong arrived in time and snatched more than 1 horses.

The defensive switches at each city gate pursued.

A lot of money has been gained along the way.

No more than 1 people fled back to the grassland alive.

14 elite soldiers attacked, 13 remained in Daming, and the losses were countless.

Tartar is completely broken.

Don't dare to commit crimes within ten years.

"See the Commander!" Qi Zhuo didn't have the slightest attitude of guarding the eunuch, entered the pier, and saluted respectfully.

"Get up!"

Yu Qian's face was full of joy: "Eunuch Qi, you are the first in this battle!"

"This commander only wants to eat [-] soldiers, but because of your magical soldiers, let me eat all the Tatar soldiers!"

"You are the first!"

A smile appeared on Qi Zhuo's face, not even daring to speak.

Gu Rong on the side said again.

Fortunately, Qi Zhuo had the foresight to prevent the Tatar soldiers from killing the horses, and did not force the Tatar soldiers violently, giving them a chance to breathe, so he snatched so many horses.

The more Yu Qian watched him, the more satisfied he became.

In the past, it was said that eunuchs ruled in disorder, but there are eunuchs who can fight wars without being greedy or taking possession!

"Our family still has a big gift!" Qi Zhuo bowed.

Yu Qian was surprised.

"Bring it up!" Qi Zhuo ordered the prisoner to be brought up.

They were all familiar faces.

Alima and Dalat who fled first, as well as Daiqin and Agu who followed the Chinese army, were all arrested!
"God help me too!"

Yu Qian cheered up, these are the dignitaries of various ministries, if they are recruited and surrendered, the Tatar soldiers can be quickly reorganized.

After playing Daning, there is still Liaodong waiting for him.

"Marshal, we still have a big gift!" Qi Zhuo asked someone to present a corpse.

"Mauri kid?"

Alima and others exclaimed.

Unexpectedly, Mao Lihai, the instigator, also died.

There is also Mandulu who was found by Yu Qian from the corpse.

Tatar high-ranking dignitaries gathered together.

The main reason is that the Maoli boy's body was wearing a special armor, so it was naturally targeted by Qi Zhuo's soldiers.

As a result, the corpse was in hand and sent up to ask for credit.

"Hahahaha!"

Yu Qian laughed triumphantly: "Okay, Eunuch Qi, you are the first meritorious service, I will write a letter to His Majesty now!"

Alima and others had tears in their eyes.

The mighty Tatars declined rapidly because of this battle.

Those vacant pastures will be quickly filled by Wala, Wuliangha, and Jurchens. Why attack Daming?
Apart from hurting both sides and taking advantage of others, what else can you gain?
The battle report flew to the capital.

June [-]th, before the exam.

Zhu Qiyu disguised himself and appeared in the guild hall.

Instead of listening to the music, he watched others listen to the music.

At the poetry meeting, a painting is being tasted.

Yan Liben's Picture of the Emperors.

There are thirteen emperors painted: Liu Fuling, Emperor Zhao of the former Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei Dynasty, Sun Quan, Lord of Wu, Liu Bei, Lord of Shu, Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, Chen Qian, Emperor Wen of Chen Dynasty, Chen Bozong, Emperor Fei of Chen Dynasty, and Chen Xu, Emperor Xuan of Chen Dynasty , Empress Chen Chen Shubao, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yu Wenyong, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty Yang Guang.

This painting is interesting.

It was originally collected in the internal funds, but Zhu Qiyu gave it away when he was short of money, and then went around and returned to the internal funds.

Now it's fishing again.

These students gathered together to study the inscribed poems.

Most of the people who participated in the poetry meeting were scholars from the south of the Yangtze River.

They were forcibly conscripted into the capital by the emperor, and all of them harbored resentment in their hearts, but at the feet of the emperor and under the eyes of the factory guards, they did not dare to say anything excessive.

The only way to vent your anger is in the Psalms.

Therefore, the appearance of this picture of emperors can just use the past to satirize the present.

Use the thirteen emperors on the picture to satirize the current Emperor Jingtai!

"Brother Cui, let's see how many days you've been at the poetry meeting. If you really like it, then you can buy it." Hanlin Peng Hua bowed his head.

"Hmph, a mere picture of emperors, the price is 20 taels, and you will only buy it if you have a sick head!" Cui Xun was very upset.

He almost wrote hate on his forehead.

He was studying hard at home, preparing for the next exam.

Because he has recently been obsessed with criticizing current affairs and neglected his studies.

Knowing that this test is hopeless, I just let myself go.

Write more sour poems, participate in more poetry gatherings, and become a well-known local literati.

As a result, the emperor forced him into Beijing with an edict.

The emperor did not wait.

They were ordered to arrive in Beijing within a time limit.

They had no choice but to hurry on their way, not having time to appreciate the beautiful scenery on the road, and arrived at the capital like a horse watching flowers.

My heart is full of resentment.

What's even more hateful is that they have already arrived, but the emperor didn't order them to see them, so he left them in the capital.

Instead of arranging accommodation, let them stay in Beijing.

The day before yesterday there was a literati who couldn't take it any longer and left the capital. As a result, he was decapitated by the lord of Dongchang and his head was hung on the city gate. The emperor issued an edict to arrest his whole family and exile him to Qiongzhou.

He can only change from a literati to a student, and take part in this year's examination as a juren.

For his family, it is not difficult to operate this matter.

Peng Hua narrowed his eyes: "Brother Cui, you can't say that. This painting is made by Yan Liben. The image is vivid and three-dimensional, and the colors are magnificent..."

Cui Xun immediately interrupted: "Yan Liben's paintings have been handed down a lot, some high and some low."

"This painting lacks changes in head shape, facial features, and expressions, making it look like everyone else. It's not a top-notch work at all. How can it be worth 20 taels of silver?"

This remark aroused the approval of many literati.

Although the literati have a sour smell, their vision is excellent.

This painting is not Yan Liben's pinnacle work, and it really can't be sold at such a high price.

But there were others who dismissed it.

"If all the money is gone, it will come back. If you like it, you should buy it."

A drunken scholar with crooked clothes and a wine glass staggered over: "It's just a painting, just 20 taels of silver!"

"Brother Cui, you are so talented."

"As long as you are willing to write a poem, write it on this painting."

"Xiao Ke 1 taels of silver, I offer it with both hands!"

"Brother Bi, you drank too much!" A student named Xu Mao grabbed Bi Yu.

He and Bi Yu are from the same hometown.

Before entering Beijing to take part in the general examination, Bi Yu's father repeatedly told Xu Mao to keep an eye on Bi Yu and not to cause trouble in the capital.

Bi Yu brushed his hand away: "Where did you drink too much? There are only a few emperors in this painting, why can't I understand..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

So Xu Mao covered his mouth: "Shut up! You are dying!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my brother drank too much!" Xu Maolian said sorry, and pulled Bi Yu to leave.

"Go away!"

Bi Yu pushed Xu Mao away: "I bought this picture!"

Xu Mao still wants to persuade, the capital is an important place, and the civil servants and generals are all gone. How dare you act wild here?

Don't forget, what is your origin!
Bi Yu stared at him, "Xu Mao, you have to know yourself!
"Don't act like my father, just take care of me!"

"You are Lao Tzu's follower, you shitty freshman!"

"Without my father, you are not even as good as a wild dog on the side of the road!"

"Go, find the store, I bought this picture!"

Bi Yu was so drunk that he couldn't keep his eyes open.

Xu Mao's face was red and purple. His family was poor, and he was supported by the Bi family, but it was only a support, he was not a servant of the Bi family.

His family is also an upright farmer's son, and he is eligible to take the imperial examination!
"A good painting has been spoiled by some dirty money!" Cui Xun spat and walked away.

The originally good atmosphere of the poetry meeting was completely ruined by these words.

"stop!"

Bi Yu pointed to Cui Xun: "Cui Xun, don't write two sour articles, you will be supercilious. Believe it or not, if I let you fail, you will definitely fail!"

Originally, Cui Xun didn't take the curse words to heart.

Hearing the last sentence, he suddenly stopped: "What did you say?"

Although Bi Yu was drunk, he knew he had said the wrong thing.

"I bought this painting and hung it in my study to urge me to study." Bi Yu smiled strangely.

Do you study ****?
In the private room, Zhu Qiyu's face darkened: "Did you hear what he said?"

Pfft!
Shu Liang knelt on the ground: "My lord, slaves dare not interfere with the imperial examination."

"He wants to hang the picture of emperors in his study, is he learning to be an emperor?" Zhu Qiyu sullenly.

Both Shu Liang and Feng Xiao were kneeling.

Dare not say a word.

After waiting for a long while, Shu Liang said cautiously: "This servant will imprison him immediately."

"Wait a minute, let's watch the play again."

Zhu Qiyu was in a bad mood, he was entertaining himself in the palace, but the folks may not really regard him as the emperor.

Neither Feng Xiao nor Shu Liang dared to get up.

At the poetry meeting.

Cui Xun pulled Bi Yu and asked him why he failed the ranking?

"Brother Cui, he's drunk and talking nonsense!" Xu Mao kept explaining.

The turmoil barely passed.

Peng Hua walked over with a smile: "This Mr. Bi is really a good-looking talent. He was a Jinshi Peng Hua and Peng Yanshi in the fifth year of Jingtai."

"I entered Bi Yu at the end of my studies, and met my seniors." Bi Yu regained consciousness.

"Master Bi..."

"Senior Peng can call me Qianjin, and the younger generation calls me Qianjin." Bi Yu didn't dare to trust Peng Hua.

Seeing that Peng Hua has an extraordinary bearing and a Jinshi background, he probably has to flatter him when he seeks a job in the Imperial Academy.

"Then I will call you my daughter."

Peng Hua suddenly asked: "Is Younger Brother drunk?"

Bi Yu was taken aback for a moment, and smiled awkwardly, "Drunk, already drunk."

"Since Qianjin calls Peng a certain brother, I would like to advise you as a brother. These pictures of emperors are not just bought casually, let alone hung in the study. That is a taboo thing."

Peng Hua's words made Bi Yu's calves go weak with fright.

He was trying to see if Bi Yu was really drunk, or was he pretending to be drunk.

Obviously, he was not drunk.

So why is it concluded that Cui Xun failed the Jinshi examination?

Peng Hua is Hanlin, but he has another identity. He walks in the military plane and is a close minister of the emperor.

"Thank you Brother Peng for teaching me, Qianjin knew it was wrong!"

Bi Yu was so frightened that he hurriedly told Xu Mao not to buy it.

However, the word has been spoken.

"It's okay."

Peng Hua smiled and pulled Cui Xun over: "Brother Cui is so talented, for the sake of my subordinates, I will let my younger brother out."

Cui Xun was not good at taking Peng Hua's face, so he could only smile perfunctorily.

"You are the same year, and you have the friendship of classmates, so naturally you should get closer." Peng Hua laughed.

Bi Yu didn't expect that Peng Hua, who met by chance, would help him talk to Cui Xun.

Say thanks right away.

The scumbag is naturally willing to get close to Cui Xun.

Seeing this, Peng Hua simply took them to a table to drink and get close to each other.

"Qianjin, you just said that brother Cui failed the exam, do you have any inside information?" After drinking for three rounds, Peng Hua started to talk.

But Bi Yu didn't fall for the trick, and practiced Tai Chi repeatedly.

He just said he drank too much.

Soon, the news was gathered to the emperor.

"Drink too much, but tell other students that you will definitely fail?"

Zhu Qiyu tapped the table with his fingertips: "What is the origin of this Bi Yu?"

"Back to the emperor, Bi Yu was born in the Bi family of Songjiang Prefecture, and his natal family is the Su family of a merchant in Songjiang Prefecture." Shu Liang reported.

"The Su family in Songjiang Prefecture? Is it the Su family that weaves?" Zhu Qiyu frowned and asked.

"The emperor has a good memory."

The Su family is the number one weaving businessman in Songjiang Prefecture. Their family wealth cannot be described as huge, but it is more appropriate to describe it as incalculable.

"No wonder the tone is so big, 20 taels are not taken seriously."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "How can the son of a merchant take part in the imperial examination?"

"Returning to the emperor, this Bi Yu's mother is a concubine, but after Bi Yu was born, he was crowned as the son of the eldest son, so legally speaking, he is not a grandson of the Su family." Shu Liang replied.

"Hmph, it will take advantage of loopholes."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "I will have an exam the day after tomorrow, Shu Liang, you bring people into the venue to inspect, and let me focus on this Bi Yu."

He looked at Feng Xiao: "Who is the chief examiner this year?"

"Back to the emperor, Bai Shangshu will personally take the exam." Feng Xiao replied.

"Where's the deputy examiner?"

"It's Chen Ji and Hu Ao, the right servants of the Ministry of Officials, and Li Xian, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Both Chen Ji and Hu Ao were Jinshi in the fifth year of Xuande, right? Chen Ji is still from He Wenyuan's hometown, and Li Xian has older qualifications, and was a Jinshi in the second year of Xuande."

These candidates were personally approved by him.

"Huh? Why are these people from Jiangnan?"

Zhu Qiyu suddenly realized something was wrong: "That Bi Yu is also from Zhejiang?"

"Shu Liang, go and watch."

"Slave obeys the order!" Shu Liang trembled.

Zhu Qiyu stood up: "It seems that there is no excitement today, Shu Liang, go and tell someone, pack the picture of Liedi and send it to Bi Yu, 20 taels of silver, not a penny less."

"Your Majesty, this..."

Shu Liang felt that only the emperor deserved to own the picture of emperors. How could he, a mere peasant, own such an arrogance?

"Hmph, are there still few things about folk arrogance?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "I'm going back to the palace."

Shu Liang heaved a sigh of relief after seeing off the emperor's Luanjia.

but.

Not long after the emperor left, there were curses outside.

Shu Liang opened the door and took a look, he was scared out of his wits!

"You stinky scholar, how dare you hit me?" A fierce voice came.

Zhu Qiyu is dressed as a scholar today.

Surrounded by hundreds of people, all dressed in scholar gowns and servants, there are eunuchs and generals, Li Jin, Chen Shao, Guo Jing, all of them are personal guards.

The eunuchs are also tall and powerful, and they are all good hands.

When he was going downstairs, he bumped into a dude who was blindfolded and grabbed a girl. He was drunk and spoke arrogantly.

Feng Xiao wants to reveal his identity.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and cupped his hands: "Dear man, my guard bumped into you, I will apologize to you."

"My dear friend? I am also worthy of being called my dear brother?"

This guy laughed triumphantly, his drunken eyes blurred: "Open your dog eyes and see!"

"I'm a young uncle, you poor scholars, what a waste of exams!"

"I can't catch up with the starting line where I was born in the exam!"

Zhu Qiyu's face suddenly darkened.

Li Jin and Chen Shao are about to explode.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Young uncle, may I ask which noble son of the Earl's mansion is this young uncle?"

"See if you're asking human words?"

"Which house I belong to, it's none of your business!"

The dandy pointed at Zhu Qiyu: "You all kneel down to me and kowtow three times. Today's matter is over, otherwise..."

"What else?" Zhu Qiyu thought over and over again, but he didn't know this guy, whose son was he?

"Otherwise I will let you die..."

Snapped!
Before the dude could finish his sentence, a loud slap was slapped on his face!

"I'm tired of living!"

"Come on, seal up the entire guild hall to our house!"

Shu Liang rushed over like a whirlwind, and slapped the dude on the face.

Scholars who were watching the excitement, once they heard that this person claimed to be our family, they knew something bad was going on!

And Shu Liang knelt on the ground: "Your servant is guilty! Your servant is guilty!"

The dandy was slapped by Shu Liang.

Lying on the ground, the wine woke up immediately.

The eunuch calls himself a slave, who is that for?

Who is this gentle young man?

Zhu Qiyu didn't want to say anything, but was ruined by Shu Liang: "Forget it, get up."

This time the emperor will not be able to take off his hat for visiting brothels.

My reputation is getting worse!
"It's all gone."

Zhu Qiyu didn't feel like having a fit, so he went downstairs directly.

Leave all the dumbfounded people eating melons.

Who is that imposing young man?

And the playboy who provoked him was dragged away by his followers.

He was dragged into the palace.

Really, I was really scared to death at that moment.

"You are the first person to curse me to death."

Zhu Qiyu laughed at him: "Tomorrow I will ask your father to take you back."

Then the imperial chariot entered the Qianqing Palace.

And the news of the emperor's visit to brothels spread throughout the city in an instant, and the hat of the Merry Emperor could not be taken off.

Morning the next day.

Zhu Qiyu was criticized by the officials.

All the officials knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

"I knew I was wrong."

Zhu Qiyu is miserable, because of Shu Liang's kneeling, he has a bad reputation, and it stinks completely.

He could even imagine that he would become the second generation of Huizong and appear in various novel plots. There must be no good plots, and they probably all have something to do with river crabs.

"Your Majesty, you don't care about your reputation!"

"You should also consider your body!"

"The land of fireworks, is it a place for nobles like you to go!"

It wasn't Hu Wei that was bombed today, but Wang Hong.

The elder, who had just joined the cabinet, was the first to set fire to the emperor.

"I didn't do anything..."

"Your Majesty, you favored the concubine Yao back then, and your body has been damaged. Are you going to repeat the same mistakes!" Wang Hong roared.

Can you just shut up!

I didn't do anything, can't you hear me?

Zhu Qiyu wanted to yell at him, but the civil and military officials couldn't get up, so he could only admit aggrievedly: "I know I was wrong."

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, why didn't you discuss such a big matter with the officials?" Wang Hong didn't intend to let him go.

"I know I was wrong." Zhu Qiyu was on fire in his heart.

"If something happens to your Majesty, what should Daming do?" Wang Hong said, tears streaming down his face.

"The veteran beat Ma Shun to death in Fengtian Palace!"

"Why don't you hate the government for being stupid?"

"Now His Majesty is coming to the court like a sage king, the government is clear and clear, and everything is getting better."

"But why is your majesty so unsympathetic to yourself?"

"This world can have no old ministers, and there can be no ministers in Fengtian Palace, but only His Majesty can't exist!"

Is Wang Hong scolding?

Or flattering?

Zhu Qiyu was a little confused.

I can't even hate it, so I can't even retaliate.

"I know I was wrong!" Zhu Qiyu could only repeat this sentence.

Like a child, if you admit your mistakes, forget it.

"The old minister is willing to make three chapters with His Majesty. As long as the ministers disagree, His Majesty must not leave the palace without permission!" Wang Hong kowtowed to the ground.

All civil and military officials bowed down.

So you were waiting here?
Shut me up in the palace?

Do you have a black eye on the outside of the palace?
Then continue to be deceived by you?Continue to be a Fengtian Temple fool?

However, what Wang Hong said was really for my sake.

Sometimes, the scariest thing is those who pretend to be good for you, but do things that harm your interests. Such people are the most difficult to deal with.

"Forget it, I'm not going out of the palace." Zhu Qiyu jumped over the pit, only saying that he couldn't go out of the palace.

"Your Majesty, please allow me!" Wang Hong was determined to set the first fire on the emperor.

"If I don't agree, are you going to kneel and die here?" Zhu Qiyu was a little angry.

"If His Majesty refuses to agree, the old minister will crash and die here!"

Wang Hong played hard.

If it were a few months ago, the emperor directly let him crash to death, let's see if you dare.

But not anymore.

He has a lot of power and needs these people to do things.

What's more, they are playing for your own good, if you let Wang Hong crash to death, what will the courtiers think of him?

The court, which has eased, will become fierce again.

Disputes between emperors and ministers continued.

The place is just chaos.

Daming will not have a happy life.

His dream would not come true.

These civil servants are really clever, good at seizing every opportunity.

Using my ambition to force me to do things I don't like is the skill of civil servants.

"I agree."

Zhu Qiyu gritted his molars and agreed.

"Long live Your Majesty!" Civil and military officials shouted Long live.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't be happy.

The evil fire in my heart must be vented, where is that dude's father?What about the nine tribes?
"Young gentlemen, get up quickly."

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "The examination is coming soon, everything in Beijing must give way to the examination."

"I went to the field to look at the seedlings. It has been dry for more than 20 days, and it has rained for more than ten days. I am afraid that this year's harvest will be difficult."

"I want to exempt the agricultural tax of the disaster-stricken areas this year, what do you think?"

Back to business.

Ye Sheng was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, you opened a shipping company in Shandong and tried to transport grain from overseas, but the result was not satisfactory."

"If the farm tax is exempted, the income of the household department will drop sharply this year. How will the border war be quelled?"

If there is no war on the border.

If you can avoid it, you can avoid it.

But now Liaodong is in a mess, Daning is also in danger, Tatar 14 elite soldiers, how to deal with it?
It all takes money.

If it doesn't work, I can only pay tribute and become a minister, and I have to find a way to get the money together.

If it is a war, it will cost more.

What to do!

"What Ye Qing said is true. After all, fighting consumes too much vitality."

Zhu Qiyu was very dissatisfied with the Shandong Shipping Department. Up to now, he has not received a grain of food, and the transaction is lonely.

"Your Majesty, it's better to reduce the exemption for half a year." Hu Wei proposed a compromise.

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "That's the only way."

"However, the decree of reduction and exemption must be issued before receiving the autumn Fu." Hu Wei said again.

He meant it just in case.

Once there is still war in autumn, it will cost a lot of money and food, and the autumn tax must be collected as usual.

"Let's settle down like this first."

There is no money in the internal funds, so Zhu Qiyu's words are not tough anymore.

It's time to think of a way to make money, make money quickly.

After discussing a few more things, he went down to court.

And outside the gate of Qianqing.

It turned out to be the old acquaintance Peng Chengbo Zhang Jin.

The first generation of Uncle Pengcheng was conferred on Zhang Chang, the elder brother of Empress Dowager Zhang.

Zhang Jin was Zhang Chang's grandson. His father Zhang Fu's edict to inherit the title had just been issued, Zhang Fu died, and the result fell on his eldest son Zhang Jin.

The dude who scolded Zhu Qiyu was Zhang Jin's younger brother, Zhang Qi.

"The humble minister is guilty! The humble minister is guilty!"

Seeing the emperor, Zhang Jin kept kowtowing.

Zhu Qiyu made the imperial chariot stop: "Uncle Pengcheng, how can you be guilty? Just cursing me to die, it's nothing, we are relatives after all!"

Zhang Jin's face turned pale.

Zhang Qi is simply crazy!

Cursing the emperor to die is disrespectful and punishes the nine clans!

"Please kill Zhang Qi, Your Majesty, to set the record straight!" Zhang Jin said immediately.

"You don't feel sorry for your brother at all, he wasn't born or raised by you, so naturally you don't feel bad at all?"

Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.

Zhang Jin hurriedly explained: "This official is Your Majesty's loyal dog. No matter who disobeys His Majesty, this official will be heartbroken, and I wish I could kill him!"

"Zhang Qi is the younger brother of a humble minister."

"But the monarch, the minister, and the minister, insulting the emperor is a capital offense! The humble minister dare not protect him!"

Zhang Jin spoke righteously and sternly.

But no one knows what's going on in his heart.

"You are loyal, but I have ordered your family to serve in the palace over and over again, why not enter the palace?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "If you like to kowtow, keep kowtow."

"Knock until you wake up."

The imperial chariot entered the Qianqing Palace.

Leave Zhang Jin here.

Finished!

Zhang Jin knew that the Zhang family was over!

　Almost, make up tomorrow!
