Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 257 The Birth of the Salvation Xungui Group

Zhu Qiyu finally launched his own honorable group: "ZTE Salvation, Pushing Sincerity and Xuanli Wuchen".

There are two Dukes of the State of Feng: Xu Heng, Duke of An, and Li Xuan, Duke of Cao.

Eight Marquises: Chengshanhou Wangtong, Wudinghou Guochang, Wenxinhou Guocong, Pingenhou Juan, Wuqinghou Shiheng, Shenwuhou Fanguang, Yingchuanhou Fuying, Fuyanghou Liyu.

Earls include: Liu Yongcheng, Sun Tong, Tao Jin, Hu Xuan, Wu Zhong, Wu An, Wu Cheng, Zhao Xuan, Xu Ying, Gu Cong, Xu Tong, Gu Zhong, Liu Chang and others.

Many of them are founding nobles or Jingnan nobles, but anyway, Zhu Qiyu has invented a second book when he appointed civil servants, and now he is creating an innovation of a second honor certificate among military officials, and everyone is not surprised Strange.

Anyway, no matter how many pieces of iron coupons are issued, you can only receive one year's salary.

Like Chengshan Hou Wangtong, although his title has not been promoted, his yearly salary has grown to three thousand stones, which is Zhu Qiyu's special favor.

At the beginning, Zhu Qiyu didn't expect that the Ming army could achieve such a victory, so he casually gave Fan Guang the promise of being the Marquis of the Junjun.In the end, Fan Guang led the Shenji Camp to behead more than [-] people, and captured Yexian with one wife and two sons.

You are not joking, Zhu Qiyu originally wanted to fulfill his promise, but under He Yi's suggestion, Fan Guang wrote successively to resign his title of Marquis of the Junjun.So in the end Zhu Qiyu changed Fan Guang to the title of Marquis of Shenwu.

So far, the emperor sent a king and eleven princes.

The Xinjun faction has four princes and eight marquises.

In terms of numbers, they are basically evenly matched.

But in terms of momentum, Zhu Qiyu's side clearly had the upper hand.Cheng Guogong Zhu Yi has been driven to Nanjing, and the remaining four princes in Beijing, Yingying, Ding, Anguo, and Cao Guogong, are all Zhu Qiyu's people.

With the Xungui Group exclusively for Xinjun, the days to come will be much more dignified.

As for civil servants, Chen Xunjin was named a young teacher and a bachelor of Wuyingdian, and Wang Wenjin was awarded a young teacher and a bachelor of Wenhuadian.All other cabinet ministers and ministers were granted titles, and everyone was happy.

As for the vassal kings, the Yi vassal was cancelled, and the 1 Shi-year-old Lu of the Mansion of the Prince of Tan was suspended.

And the poor Min Wang is the poorest prince of Ming Dynasty. The first year's salary was set at a ridiculous six hundred shi by the Taizu. stone.

In the early years of Zhengtong, under the repeated request of King Min, Zhu Qizhen reluctantly added another two hundred stones.

When it came to Zhu Qiyu's place, since King Min was already the highest-ranking vassal prince, he was the only prince who supported him.

Therefore, King Min's annual salary was increased to 1 shi in one breath.

At the same time, the annual salary of the king of Dongwu County and the king of Xiwu County was also set at 1 shi, and the treatment mentioned a pure prince level.

Those who are entrusted are all happy.

After hearing Zhu Qiyu's eighth edict, everyone was even happier.

With a very firm attitude, Zhu Qiyu decreed to stop issuing Daming banknotes.Reaffirm the use of gold, silver, and copper coins as officially recognized currencies.

And it is clearly stipulated that only gold, silver, copper coins and Lumi can be used for future salary distribution.

In this way, when the imperial court pays the salary, there is no room for manipulation.In the past, although the salary was not low in name, the imperial court always used the waste paper-like banknotes of the Ming Dynasty to offset the deduction, so that the salary actually received by the officials was far from enough.

Now Zhu Qiyu has largely sacrificed the interests of the royal family to benefit all the officials, even the biggest income of the inner court, the money spent.

What else can the officials say, they can only knelt down and shouted that the emperor is holy.

Compared with when Zhu Qiyu first came to the throne, the ministers' attitude towards the emperor has changed a lot, and most of them have begun to realize that the emperor in front of them is worth cherishing by the ministers.

It is too difficult to find an emperor who does not compete with the court for interests, but pushes the interests out of his hands.

Then Zhu Qiyu announced a series of policy strategies:

Cast Jingtai Tongbao, and this year, a certain amount will be distributed to the officials, soldiers, and people in Shuntian Mansion in Beijing as a reward for the defense of the capital.

A large-scale construction plan for the outer city of Beijing was launched, and institutions such as the Xixin Division, Gunpowder Bureau, Wang Gong Factory, Armor Factory, and Baoyuan Bureau were relocated to the outer city.

Xuanfu and Huailai were separated from Shanxi and merged into Beizhili, which was directly managed by the imperial court.

Kaipingwei and Dongshengwei were rebuilt, Daning City was rebuilt, and Guangning City was expanded.

The battle of picking wood was abolished, and the Jingtai Dynasty no longer built imperial tombs and palaces to reduce the burden on the people.

The Nanjing Jingying Camp was reorganized to strengthen the combat power of the Southern Army.Increase the emphasis on Nanjing, send more complete civil and military teams, and enhance the role of Nanjing.

A series of measures such as these were all thrown out by Zhu Qiyu, which made the officials overwhelmed.

At the end, Zhu Qiyu emphasized one last sentence: "In the first five years of the Jingtai Dynasty, the policy of the court was mainly to recuperate and recuperate, supplemented by sending troops to counter the rebellion.

The principle of warfare is to defend from the north and attack from the south.

To the north, reset the guard, strengthen the fort, expand the castle, and improve the Great Wall defense line.

In the south, completely put down the Miao Rebellion, the Yao Rebellion and the civil uprising in the southeast.

Within five years, I will not transfer back the main force of the southern Ming army, but they can take turns resting in Nanjing.Wang Ji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Yu Qian, Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of War, were responsible for reorganizing the southern army. "

After saying this, Zhu Qiyu let out a long sigh of relief, and finally finished all the things he wanted to say.

The ministers had already understood the emperor's behavior style, and they all breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the business was almost done.

As for the emperor's plan of defending from the north and attacking from the south, everyone can accept it.Although most civil servants don't like war, the south is still in a state of chaos, and they have to fight if they don't want to. There is nothing to say.

As usual, the next step is for the monarch and his ministers to chat and cultivate their relationship, but due to the tragedy in the Prince Yi's mansion these days, the monarch and his ministers can't laugh.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang Cheng and signaled to leave the court.

At this moment, King Xiang stood up and said, "Hold on, Your Majesty, I still have an invitation to present."

Zhu Qiyu knew that trouble was coming again at a glance, so he had to be patient and asked kindly: "Uncle Xiang, please tell me."

King Xiang replied: "I am deeply saddened by the matter of Prince Yi's mansion. But I think that your majesty must not be without a wife, and the Ming Dynasty must not be without a mother. I ask your majesty to establish a queen as soon as possible, so as to calm the hearts of the people in the world."

Zhu Qiyu sneered when he heard this.I can understand the hidden meaning of King Xiang, but I just want to emphasize that I will not make a queen or change the crown prince in front of all civil and military officials and noble princes.

Instead, he is acting as an agent of the throne, quietly waiting for the return of the Supreme Emperor.Then he died a few years later, and the prince Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, and the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen was regent.

Hearing this, Wuding Marquis Guo Chang was about to stand up and confront King Xiang immediately.

Zhu Qiyu quickly stopped him with his eyes, and then, as King Xiang wished, he said what he wanted to hear: "I am guarding the world on behalf of my eldest brother, and things have to happen.

At that time, Ming Dynasty had to have an acting emperor, so I had no choice but to temporarily take over the throne under the support of all the officials.And Daming now has two empresses who are too high, who can fully perform the duties of the mother of the country, and do not need an acting empress.

Therefore, for the matter of establishing the queen, please don't ask the kings and officials to make further requests.

Before, I ordered the cabinet to call the princes and clansmen in Beijing for a meeting. Now it is okay for the prince to ascend the throne and the uncle of King Xiang to oversee the country;

But I begged you many times, but you just kept silent and couldn't come up with a plan.

So I have to take the throne temporarily for a while, and wait for the elder brother to return, and then return to the elder brother.

Or when Uncle Xiang agreed with the kings whether to establish himself as the emperor or assist the crown prince to ascend the throne, as long as a joint letter is sent to me, I will immediately abdicate and let the virtuous, and I will never fall in love with him. "
