Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 256
Everyone present could see the meaning of Empress Hu's posthumous title, forget about 'Zhaoyu', the word 'Qi Tian Pei Sheng' clearly emphasizes that Empress Hu is the right match.

And the word "zhen" is used even better, "zhen" and "true" have the same pronunciation.

From now on, every time everyone mentions Empress Hu, they have to be called Empress Zhen, so that they can disgust Empress Dowager Sun endlessly.

As for why Queen Zhang was not used, Zhu Qiyu also gave an explanation: After the emperor adopted Queen Hu, he had to live in Xishan for three years and guard the tomb for Queen Hu to show his sincere filial piety.

Three years later, consider the joint burial and the temple.

The reason for doing this, Zhu Qiyu had several considerations: First, he couldn't do it all at once, leaving Empress Dowager Sun with nowhere to go, just jumping over the wall in a hurry.

Empress Dowager Sun has fought for most of her life, and the most important thing is this title.Now that you have directly named Empress Zhang, Empress Dowager Sun must be crazy.There is no room for turning things around.

So you have to leave her a thought first, and then press on step by step, closing the net bit by bit, and finally forcing the emperor to rebel.

The second is to give the government and the opposition a process of acceptance.Don't force the civil and military officials to immediately make an either-or choice between Queen Mother Sun and Queen Hu.

The third point, and the most important point, Zhu Qiyu felt that according to Queen Hu's own wishes, she might not like to be buried with Xuanzong so much; nor might she be so happy to be some kind of Queen Zhang.

After Queen Hu was abolished, why didn't she become a nun instead of a Taoist nun?
There are obviously more women in the royal family of the Ming Dynasty who believe in Buddhism, such as the Empress Dowager Sun, the Wang family, the Qian family, and the Zhou family.Especially the Wang family, who have respected the Buddha to an excessive degree.

Those who believe in Buddhism and believe in faith are completely two-way people.Those who believe in Buddhism like to be resplendent and resplendent, and to compare themselves with false names.Those who believe in it generally like to be quiet and indifferent, not to contend with the world, wandering in the mountains and rivers, and expressing their feelings for self-pleasure.

And those who truly believe in Buddhism also believe in karma and reincarnation.Therefore, the Zhou family in history tried their best to prevent Qian's and Yingzong's joint burial, causing an extremely troubled situation.

Zhu Qiyu considered that his family all believed in Taoism, so he didn't like to join in the fun.From this, it can be inferred that Empress Hu has a spirit in heaven, and she may not be willing to join forces with Xuanzong who has hurt her all her life.

So let's do this first, the mausoleum will not be moved first, the temple will not be erected first, and I will not be called Queen Zhang.Let's talk about the future after the death of Queen Mother Sun.

Anyway, my absurd emperor already has many innovations, and now it doesn't matter if there is one more innovation.

Sure enough, the ministers didn't care.Let the emperor do whatever he likes, anyway, everyone can see that the dispute between the two emperors will not end for a while.

Now these are just appetizers. When the Supreme Emperor returns to the capital and the emperor gives birth to his son, then the real drama will begin.

Zhu Qiyu saw that everyone was silent, so he ordered Wang Cheng to continue to announce the decree.The second imperial decree, Jingtai changed the Yuan Dynasty, and amnesty the world.

The third decree is to reconfirm the status of Soochow County King and West Wu County King.And officially announced the complete release of Jianwen's former officials.Rehabilitated Tie Xuan, Huang Guan, Ping An and others, donated officials, pursued posthumous titles, and established shrines.

So far, in the hands of Emperor Jingtai, the grievances between Jianwen and Yongle dynasties officially ended.

The fourth imperial decree changed the Nangong Palace to the Empress Dowager's Palace and gave it to Zhu Jianshen to live in.The second son of the emperor was named King De, and the third son of the emperor was named King Ji.

When the fourth edict was announced, the ministers finally had some reactions.The emperor was willing to treat the son of the Supreme Emperor kindly, and gave respect and preferential treatment to the prince, which was what the ministers were happy to see.

So everyone finally started shouting 'Your Majesty Shengming'.

Next, the fifth imperial decree is to increase the salaries of hundreds of officials. Based on the salaries of hundreds of officials in the orthodox 14th year, the first five years of Jingtai will increase by [-]% every year.

Jingtai will increase by 15% every year from six to [-] years.

That is to say, in the 15th year of Jingtai, the salaries of hundreds of officials will be three times that of the 14th year of Zhengtong.

Moreover, Zhu Qiyu promised that starting from the first year of Jingtai, the salaries of all officials will be paid in full, and only silver, copper coins and Lumi will be issued.

I don't do immoral things like Xuanzong, and use pepper and sumac to pay part of the salary to the officials.

Not to mention Zhang Juzheng, who is wicked and smoky, directly folds all salaries into pepper and sumac, and engages in the "pepper and sumac salary system".In the end, an official from the Ministry of Rites named Tong Liben was forced to hang himself.

Hearing this imperial decree, all the officials let go of their unhappiness, knelt down together and shouted long live.Baiguan is very open-minded: a fault is a fault, and a merit is a merit.Don't care how absurd the emperor's behavior is, but it is very worthy of recognition that he is willing to give money to all officials.

Immediately afterwards, the sixth edict, Zhu Qiyu announced the order of tax exemption and corvee exemption for the first three years of the Jingtai Dynasty:
In order to enable the common people to recuperate and recuperate, the 14 provinces in the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty are preferentially exempted as follows:
In the first year of Jingtai, all taxes and corvees in Beizhili, Shandong, Shanxi, and Shaanxi were exempted.

In the second year of Jingtai, Guangdong, Guangxi, Huguang, Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guizhou were exempted from taxation and corvee.

In the third year of Jingtai, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, Henan, and Jiangxi were exempted from taxation and corvee.

In the first three years of Jingtai, all tributes to Jiaozhi were exempted.

On the first day of the Jingtai Dynasty, Zhu Qiyu stopped pretending and directly proposed the statement of the two capitals and 14 provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

However, to Zhu Qiyu's surprise, no minister stood up to oppose this formulation.

Since Hu Yan and Yu Qian were completely driven away, no one is willing to argue with the emperor for Xuanzong and Sanyang.

Xuanzong and Sanyang just gave up Jiaozhi, this is a fact.And Jiaozhi is the real Han soil, which is clearly written in the books of the former Han Dynasty and the later Han Dynasty, and it cannot be denied at all.

The founding of the Ming Dynasty was based on expelling the Tartars and restoring the clothes of the Han family as a source of legitimacy. It was the most upright Han Dynasty after the Great Han Dynasty.

As a result, one emperor and three treacherous ministers lost a whole province of Han soil, and then he said: If you lose it, just lose it, I don't care.

It's really funny, this is simply treating the country as a child's play.

Then Daming's authority and image in the southern feudal kingdom collapsed, and Luchuan rebelled not long after.

The Battle of Luchuan lasted for ten years. In order to support the main force of the Ming army, the south was exhausted to the point of collapse, and there were Miao chaos and peasant uprisings, which were out of control.

The army that conquered Luchuan had not yet returned to the division, and tens of thousands of elites from the Beijing camp were transferred to the southeast to quell the peasant uprising.

As a result, the army in the north was empty, which led to the change of the civil fort.

This is the thunder that Xuanzong and Sanyang planted for Xuanzong's two sons.

Such a wonderful operation can't be cleaned anyway.

This is also the reason why most of the courtiers are still biased towards the Supreme Emperor: Xuanzong, the father, is really cheating. The Supreme Emperor is responsible for the current series of chaos in Daming, but it is all his fault, which is indeed biased.

Even Zhu Qiyu, although on the surface, is mainly suppressing Zhu Qizhen.But from the bottom of his heart, he still despised Xuanzong more.

The matter of Jiaozhi can also be explained briefly by Xuanzong's chest.But to support Wala to grow up, it is purely Xuanzong's deliberate deception without consideration for his descendants.

As for Zhu Qizhen, it was purely because of the food.But why is Zhu Qizhen so good?It is purely derived from the blind teaching of Xuanzong and Sun.

Since Zhu Qiyu wanted to set the tone of the reform on the first day of the Jingtai Dynasty, there are still many imperial edicts to be announced later.

In this way, there was no time left for the officials to express their opinions, and Zhu Qiyu personally read out the seventh imperial decree, adding officials and ranks to the heroes who defended the capital.
