Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 278 Relocation of the Gunpowder Bureau of Wang Gong Factory
Rights are obtained through brutal struggle.

It's not good to be too kind, and it's even worse to be too emotional.

It's like Zhu Qizhen is under the city of Beijing, and he has publicly called out to the emperor's faction, signaling that he will compromise with the new king and avoid the edge for the time being.

But Empress Dowager Sun still chose to lead the Emperor's faction to make a very tough attempt.It wasn't until they were completely defeated by Zhu Qiyu in two consecutive confrontations that the Emperor's faction was willing to face up to the reality and surrender temporarily.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu smiled at Lin Xiangyu: "Don't go to bed, hairy girl, and draw up the Taoist order for me, so that Wang Cheng can also be in charge of Shang Baojian.

The original eunuch Ruan Rang, who was in charge of Shangbao Supervisor, was changed to be in charge of Shangyi Supervisor and Scarf and Hat Bureau. "

So far, Wang Cheng has been the supervisor of rites, and the supervisor of internal officials and supervisor Shang Bao, who has temporarily taken over the seal of supervisor of rites for Jin Ying. He has become the number one eunuch in the inner court.

Shu Liang is the supervisor of ceremonies and Bingbi, the admiral of the East Factory, and can be ranked second.

Zhang Yong is the supervisor of the etiquette and the pen, and the admiral supervises the internal factory, which can be ranked third.

Wang Jin and Wang Qin ranked fourth and fifth, and they were equally powerful.

After dealing with the affairs of the inner court, Zhu Qiyu changed the subject: "My concubines, do you know when your birthday is?"

Ning Xiang replied from the side: "I don't know, we have been orphans since we were young, who still remembers our own birthday."

Zhu Qiyu laughed and said, "February [-]th in our north is the Huachao Festival, also known as the Flower God Festival, which is the birthday of the God of Flowers. In my opinion, why don't you all set your birthdays on the Huachao Festival? "

When the concubines heard the words, they all nodded their heads in praise.

Zhu Qiyu continued to ask: "So when it comes to February [-]th, do you want me to come together or come one by one on the day of the Flower Festival, and each of you can enjoy the pampering for a few days?"

Hearing this, Ning Xiang blushed and replied: "That's not the case, my husband. Our sisters have already discussed it. You can give it to my sister first. Then my sister will be favored by you for three or four months until she becomes pregnant. You Give us more."

"You sisters are so modest?"

"Well, we can have the happy life we ​​have today, all thanks to my sister. Naturally, my sister is entitled to special care, and besides, we all hope that my sister can give birth to the eldest son, so that everyone can live a more stable life in the future gone."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, there are still more than 20 days left, are you ready?"

Lin Xiangyu also blushed and replied: "My family is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and I have long been looking forward to being picked by my husband. You are the one who guards such a superb beauty as my family, but you have endured it for more than half a year."

"Hey, I feel sorry for you, you still dare to bury me, I will teach you as I see when I see it."

……

It was noon the next day, the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

The ministers came to the western suburbs again for a court meeting.

Another advantage of Zhu Qiyu moving to the western suburbs is that he can sleep late.The ministers set off from the capital early in the morning, and it was almost noon when they arrived in the western suburbs.

In this way, Zhu Qiyu can eat breakfast calmly, finish morning lessons with his concubines, soak in the hot spring to relax for a while, and then dress neatly and go to the West Pavilion to watch things.

At this time, the ministers just arrived.

Zhu Qiyu went up to the third floor, reclined on the soft couch, chatted for a while, and the ministers began to play.

First of all, the vassal kings wrote again, requesting to leave Beijing.

This time Zhu Qiyu agreed.

Through the vassal king to give the Empress Dowager Sun a platform and encourage the emperor's faction to jump out to fight against the emperor, after two rounds, Zhu Qiyu has already got what he wants.

Now that the vassal king stays in the capital, it will have no positive effect.So Zhu Qiyu named the Min King and Dongwu County King on his side to stay, and the remaining vassal kings could go home happily with the eunuchs, maids, jackals, tigers and leopards bestowed by the emperor.

Losing thousands of eunuchs and maids at once made Zhu Qiyu very happy.

At this time, Wang Wen added: "Your Majesty, apart from the registered eunuchs, there are also many self-castrated people who gather around the imperial city and usually make a living by accepting some rough errands in the palace.

The successive emperors of my Ming Dynasty have issued decrees many times to ban self-eunuchs, but they have repeatedly been banned.

Now that the Holy Majesty is vigorously abolishing redundant staff, how do you think these eunuchs should be dealt with? "

Zhu Qiyu understood what Wang Wen meant, so he nodded: "It's better to be blocked than to be sparse. Let's let go of the restrictions in the future. No matter if it's a prince or a county king, they can recruit self-eunuchs as slaves."

Chen Xun was quite surprised when he heard the words, so he wanted to question them.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "I know what you want to say, you must restrict it, otherwise those cruel parents will definitely castrate their sons and exchange them for money.

I know that there are many such cases now. Some people deliberately castrated their sons, and then found a way to send them to the palace, hoping to win glory and wealth. "

Everyone was even more surprised when they heard this.The emperor was so smoky that he was extremely difficult to fool, but he didn't look like a vassal who was raised like a pig at all.

Zhu Qiyu continued to add: "First, even those who are willing to eunuch themselves must go to an institution designated by the imperial court to do castration. Second, this castration institution can only be set up in Beijing, and no one can be castrated anywhere except Beijing. castrated.

Third, a man must be 15 years old before he can choose to castrate himself.Castration institutions must be implemented only when the man is completely voluntary.

Fourth, those whose parents force their sons to be castrated shall be beheaded.

Fifth, all the supervisory bureaus of the inner court will never accept self-eunuchs. "

When everyone heard the words, they all nodded their heads in praise.In this way, self-eunuchs will be cut off from entering the palace, and the number may be greatly reduced.

The key depends on whether the emperor can really completely reduce the size of the inner court.

After solving this matter, Zhu Qiyu asked Chen Xun again: "How about the warehouses in the household department?"

Chen Xun saw that the emperor was getting more and more difficult to coax, so he replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, according to your instructions, I first filled the property seized in Shanxi into the Xinlu rice warehouse in Dongcheng.

At this time, the savings in the Lumi warehouse are enough for the officials to spend for two years, plus the gold flowers and silver allocated by the Holy One to the Ministry of Households, a million taels of money will flow into the Lumi warehouse every year, at least for seven or eight years, there will be no need to worry about the officials. The salary was issued.

In addition, the new Taicang in Nanju Xianfang has also been built, and the silver reserves in it have reached 200 million taels, which are specially used for disaster relief, river management, and water conservancy construction.

There are still 300 million shi of grain in the old Taicang, which were transported from Tongzhou and other places during the war to defend the capital. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and then ordered: "First, move the Wanggong Factory, Gunpowder Bureau, and Military Battle Bureau to the southeast corner of Beijing's New Outer City;

Move the Xixin Division, Hongluo Factory, Chariot Factory, Taiji Factory, Banking Bureau, and Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry to the southwest corner of Beijing's new outer city.

Then began to cast Jingtai Tongbao with all its strength, and launched it on a large scale in the capital.

I want to try copper coins instead of treasure banknotes in the capital first, and see how effective it is. "

For Zhu Qiyu, the Wanggong Factory and the Gunpowder Bureau were the first to be relocated, and they were relocated to the southernmost corner of the outer city.Otherwise, God knows whether these Shanghuang faction will be blessed to their hearts and come up with the ghostly ideas of the gang of gods and men in the late Ming Dynasty.

The explosion of Wang Gong's factory was a romantic epic masterpiece that was more fantasy than fantasy.

As a cautious emperor, Zhu Qiyu didn't want to pin his hope of survival on the stupidity of his opponent.What if the opponent is smart and knows that the powder magazine will explode?So let’s take precautions.

Otherwise, if one's cronies are taken away in one pot, and all of them are blown up to the sky, then the fun will be great.
