Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 260
Fengtian Temple is majestic and majestic.The fire broke out last night, and the whole city watched.

Even if the sky is dry and things are dry, which is conducive to burning, this hall will have to burn for a day and two nights.

What's more, when the cold wind blew, the fire spread to Huagai Hall and Jinshen Hall.

Zhu Qiyu got up early in the morning, stood in his yard, looked towards the direction of the three main halls, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: What a great event.The three great halls in history were reduced to ashes three times.

Once for Emperor Yongle, once for Emperor Daojun, and once for Emperor Liubu.

And every time there is a fire, the three halls are burned together.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, as soon as I decided not to go to court, I immediately stood in a team with two other great disciples who hadn't gone to court for decades.

It's all right now, the three halls are gone, and there is no need to go to court at all.

Zhu Qiyu will not be like Taizong, when others hit him on the left cheek, he would also pass the right cheek to him with a smile.

The Fengtian Hall, Huagai Hall, and Jinshen Hall were all burned down. Not only did Taizong not pursue responsibility, but he immediately ran to Fengtianmen to continue his court.

Emperor Ming's good temper made Zhu Qiyu feel that he was really out of tune with them.

It is Zhu Qiyu's character to repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred.

Repaying resentment with virtue, why repay virtue?

Repay grievances directly and repay virtue by virtue.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the vassal king Xungui, was called up early in the morning.The emperor's personal guards came from door to door to invite them, and their attitude was very firm.

Shi Jing poisoned Empress Zhen's daughter, Princess Shunde, and everyone had to watch him being murdered.

You say you won't go?Yes, on the grounds of rebellion, the family will be ransacked and imprisoned immediately, and the young woman in the family will be sent to the Jiaofang Division on the spot.

Ever since, the capital was very lively early in the morning.

Shi Jing's whole family was escorted by personal guards to Caishikou.

The ministers of civil and military affairs and feudal king Xungui all rushed to watch the execution.

Both sides of the road that the prison van passed were crowded with civilians.Rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown at Shi Jing like money.

The people all over the world sympathized with Empress Hu very much, but you even poisoned her eldest daughter to death.

The key point is that others want to poison the princess to death, and they can still say that they have grudges.You are a son-in-law, but the husband of the princess, so heartless and shameless for the sake of wealth, it is really chilling.

The Ling Chi punishment lasted for three days, but fortunately Zhu Qiyu only forced the minister to watch it for one day, and he could go or not for the next two days.

In the morning, Zhu Qiyu took Lin Xiangyu back to her natal home. When she came back in the afternoon, Liu Jing, Menda, Lu Gao, Lu Zhong and others from Jinyiwei, as well as the eleven eunuchs of the inner court, were already waiting in the east duty room.

Zhu Qiyu leaned comfortably on the soft couch in the West Flower Hall before ordering someone to pass them in.

As soon as everyone entered the West Flower Hall, they immediately fell to their knees and kowtowed to apologize.

In the sixth year of Zhengtong, the three halls that were burned in the Yongle Dynasty were rebuilt.Less than ten years later, it burned again.

Zhu Qiyu teased angrily: "Jin Yiwei, Jin Yiwei, what's the use of raising your 10,000+ waste?"

Liu Jing and Menda had no choice but to lie on the ground and say to each other: "I have failed the holy grace, and I cannot escape the guilt. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Okay, I'll give you a face, go back and kill yourself."

Liu Jing, Men Da, Lu Gao, and Lu Zhong were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat when they heard the words.Everyone knows that today's emperor acts vigorously and resolutely, but he is not the kind of joker like the Supreme Emperor.

In the Zhengtong Dynasty, when Zhu Qizhen was still in power, he often threw people into prison and released them after a while.

It was completely different in the Jingtai Dynasty. The emperor either didn't make a move, or he was serious as soon as he made a move. Basically, he would not be like the Supreme Emperor, who just screamed and didn't bite.

Seeing that everyone was not moving, Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "What are you doing in a daze, and you are willing to go back and commit suicide after I fix the pension for you first?

You tens of thousands of people can't even look down on the Three Great Halls, and you still want a pension, you are so embarrassed. "

When Menda heard this, he was about to defend himself, but Lu Gao quickly stopped him quietly.

Menda instinctively wanted to drag other people into the water, such as Wudinghou Guochang, Wenxinhou Guocong, Pingenhou Juan and others.The emperor's relatives and in-laws are all in charge of the Jinyiwei. If they want to commit suicide, they should all work together.

Lu Gao was afraid that Menda would scramble and bite indiscriminately, so he hurriedly and quietly stopped him.

As Lu Gao expected, when the situation was at a stalemate, Shu Liang, the admiral of the East Factory, took the initiative to claim the responsibility and pleaded for the people of Jinyiwei.

Zhu Qiyu scolded a few more words, and didn't continue to entangle. He just remembered that everyone in Jinyiwei had committed a capital crime once, and if he committed another crime, he would be punished for several crimes.Then things were lightly uncovered.

Afterwards, several people were reassigned duties: Menda and Lu Gao will be in charge of Beizhen Fusi Prison from now on.Liu Jing was responsible for guarding the government offices between Meridian Gate and Zhengyang Gate, as well as Nangong.

Lu Zhong was promoted to the commander of Jinyiwei, responsible for guarding the three halls, Wuying Hall, Wenhua Hall, and the cabinet area.That is to say, except for the part of the harem in the Forbidden City, the rest is all assigned to Lu Zhong guards.

After dealing with the Jin Yiwei, the next step is to deal with the inner court servants.

Zhu Qiyu directly ordered: "Last night, those who were guarding Fengtian Palace and those who set off fireworks to celebrate, regardless of maids and eunuchs, should all be executed with sticks. Wang Cheng, Shu Liang and Hao Yi are in charge of execution.

In addition, the inner court selected [-] eunuchs from various supervisory bureaus, and gave them to the vassal kings and nobles in Beijing, and let them take them home to order them. "

Wang Cheng and others were dumbfounded when they heard this. It's normal to kill some palace people involved in the incident.But if three thousand eunuchs were eliminated at once, the emperor might not be crazy.

So Wang Cheng boldly asked: "If you dare to ask the emperor, who will be eliminated?"

Zhu Qiyu replied: "Like the leopard house, tiger house, elephant house, sheep house, pigeon house, livestock house, silkworm pond, all of them will be abolished. In addition, there are billiard rooms, treasure banknote bureaus, Shangshan outer prison, Bingzhi The house, the Fanjing factory, the pole house, and the north flower house were all abolished.

Shangshan Supervisor, Shangyi Supervisor, Scarves and Hats Bureau, etc. will also reduce their manpower.

Those vassal kings and nobles were all eager to have more eunuchs at home, and while they were all in the capital, they were given these eunuchs and let them take them back to use.

Save them secretly castrating innocent boys.

There are also those rare birds and animals raised in the imperial city, all rewarded to the vassal kings, let them take them home to raise them.

And they all have money, much richer than me.I don't have the money to support so many idlers. "

Although Wang Cheng and the others were surprised, the inner court servants were all the emperor's servants after all, and the emperor could do whatever he wanted, and no one could say anything.

If he came out to dissuade him, it would really mean that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry.

The logic of Zhu Qiyu's behavior is also very simple: there are about [-] maids and eunuchs in the inner court, all of whom serve the family of the orthodox emperor.

No one is responsible for serving me, and there is no loyalty to me at all, and they are doing things all day long. Why do I spend so much money supporting you.

Besides, now that the orthodox dynasty has completely become history, it is a bit too generous to have more than 1 people serve the emperor's family.

If it can reduce the burden on the common people, let's reduce it a little.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu added: "Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in the imperial city are all closed. A few streets were specially designated in the outer city to build an Anle hall for the elderly eunuchs and court ladies to live in and retire.

The Huanyi Bureau has been completely released. Elderly court ladies who still have family members can go home; those who have no family members can live in Anletang.

There is no need to trap people in the clothing bureau for the so-called prevention of leaking the secrets of the imperial city for a lifetime. "
