Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 297 Revenge First
Li Xian told Zhu Qizhen very tactfully: "Your Majesty, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a fire broke out in the palace, and many palaces such as the Cining Palace and the Qianqing Palace were burned down.

The emperor and the empress dowager have successively issued their own imperial edicts.

There are also Zhencai people and Jingcai people who unfortunately died in the fire. Now the grand master is furious and wants to withdraw all the supplies and slaves brought by the mission to His Majesty. "

The amount of information was a bit large, and Zhu Qizhen was stunned for a moment, unable to react.

After a while, Zhu Qizhen asked in bewilderment: "Didn't it mean that the three main halls of Fengtian were burned down? It's only been a few days, and the Palace of Compassion and Peace and Palace of Qianqing have also been burned down?"

Li Xian gave a more detailed explanation: "Your Majesty, this time, the Palace of Compassion, Palace of Qianqing, Palace of Xian'an, Palace of Renshou, Palace of Mental Cultivation, Palace of Yongshou, and Palace of Yikun were all burned to the ground."

Zhu Qizhen took a breath: "The first month hasn't passed yet, and more than half of the Forbidden City has been burned down? Where will the emperor live? Where will the empress dowager, empress and my concubines live in the future?
There are only a few palaces left that haven't caught fire. If our two families can live together?You can't let my concubine live in the harem with my younger brother, right? "

Li Xian smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty is too worried. The emperor has no interest in living in the Forbidden City. Before the fire in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, the emperor had already moved his family to Yuquan Mountain in the western suburbs."

Zhu Qizhen was stunned for a while when he heard the words, Li Xian's words obviously exceeded his cognition: his younger brother actually went to Yuquan Mountain, is there any emperor in this world who doesn't want to live in the Forbidden City?

Can't live in the magnificent, majestic and majestic imperial city, and run to the mountains to live in another industry?Brother really thinks of himself as Wang Wei?
Zhu Qizhen finally nodded, but that's good, at least his concubine doesn't have to live in the Forbidden City with his younger brother's family, so he continued to ask: "Are the three princes okay?"

Li Shi replied first: "The three princes of His Majesty are all safe and sound, only the emperor's only son has suffered misfortune. Now the next generation of the royal family is only His Majesty's prince."

Hearing these words, Zhu Qizhen regained his energy immediately. At least so far, the only candidate for the next generation of emperor is his own son.

As long as the younger brother can't give birth to a son in the future, the throne will eventually have to be returned to his lineage.

If his younger brother dies "unfortunately" in a few years, then he is at least the real power overlord.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen looked at Li Shi eagerly: "Who is the chief eunuch beside the emperor now?"

How could Li Shi not know what the Supreme Emperor in front of him was thinking? His original intention of saying this was to make the Supreme Emperor feel sorry for the emperor, write a handwritten letter and hand it over to the embassy to take it back, so as to warn the Supreme Emperor’s faction so that they can be safe in the future. Divide a little.

Li Shi had his own heart, but he really never thought of encouraging the emperor to give the emperor a sterilizing drug, so he could only reply seriously: "The emperor doesn't have a chief eunuch by his side.

Except for the emperor himself and fifteen favorite concubines, no one is allowed to enter Yuquan Mountain.

The life of the emperor was completely like that of a Taoist priest who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. He grew his own vegetables and cooked his own meals. It was peaceful and quiet.

Yuquan mountain has excellent water and soil, and the scenery is beautiful. The emperor cultivated his morals and cultivated his sentiments all day long.

Not only is my body and mind healthy, I am afraid that within a few years, I will have more children and more children. "

Before Zhu Qizhen had time to be happy, he was poured cold water on his head, and instantly regained his senses: That's right, my younger brother is really too shrewd.

It would definitely be impossible to rely on the emperor's personal maids and eunuchs to administer sterilization drugs.Because there are no maids and eunuchs who can serve the emperor close to him, and they can't buy them if they want to.

If it is necessary to prescribe drugs, the only feasible way is to buy the emperor's fifteen favorite concubines.

Although as long as one is successfully bought, there is a chance to poison it.

But the most critical problem is that if you take two or three hundred thousand taels of silver, no one will even look at it.

Zhu Qizhen has become more and more admiring of his younger brother's ferocity: for his own safety, his younger brother really dares to grit his teeth and spend all his money.

It is customary for each favorite concubine to pay 3 taels a year, not counting Zhu Qiyu's extra reward when he is in a good mood.

As long as he has been with Zhu Qiyu for 30 years, each favorite concubine can get at least 100 million taels of expenses.Is someone really stupid enough to be bought for a mere two to three hundred thousand taels of silver, and then ruin his job for the rest of his life?
This only counts the benefits in terms of money. As long as the beloved concubines give birth to a son, they will be princes, and if they give birth to daughters, they will be princesses.If two or three princes are born, there is no way to calculate how much the income will be, it can only be said to be a huge profit.

In addition, status is also valuable.

The status of these favorite concubines must be at least among the top [-] among all the women in Daming.

That's the top 30, Daming's women must be in the tens of millions.The status of the imperial concubine alone cannot be measured by [-] taels of silver.

Zhu Qizhen himself wanted to understand that it was simply unrealistic to buy the emperor's favorite concubine with money.Moreover, all the belongings of the empress dowager and empress were burned, and the freedom of movement was restricted by the emperor.Internal funds were also controlled in the hands of the emperor himself.

Even if the emperor's favorite concubines accept bribes, they will not be able to pay for it.

Looking at Zhu Qizhen's uncertain face, Li Shi knew that the Supreme Emperor's focus had completely deviated.The most important thing now is that the face must be completely torn apart, and the Supreme Emperor is still in the mood to care about the struggle for imperial power.

Sure enough, what to be afraid of, what to come.Naha Chu, who had been listening to the monarch and his ministers chattering for a long time outside the tent, had exhausted his patience, walked in from the outside, and scolded: "You should have finished talking, please move forward, Your Majesty."

"Move?"

Zhu Qizhen was a little puzzled.

Nahachu explained: "We have prepared new felt tents for the Supreme Emperor, and allocated cattle, sheep and horses to you. Daming has already given us no way to survive. There is no way. You can support yourself in the future.

Besides, this winter, our tribe lacked food and clothing, and many people died of starvation and freezing.

But here you are surrounded by beauties, well-clothed and well-fed, laughing and watching Daming drive us all to extinction, it is really unreasonable.

We really want to respect you, the Great Ming Emperor, but we really can't bear it anymore.

If you are willing to draft an imperial decree to order the emperor in Beijing to completely stop chasing us and restore our right to pay tribute, then we can continue to eat and drink to support you.

Otherwise, we will only be sorry for you.After all, we can't survive anymore, so what does it have to do with us whether your Daming is a kingdom of heaven or not. "

After all, Naha made a gesture of invitation.

Zhu Qizhen still had to bargain, but Naha signaled his guards with his eyes.

The personal guards understand, they will come up and push Zhu Qizhen out of the tent forcibly.

It can be said that a scholar meets a soldier, and the reason is unclear.

Zhu Qizhen quickly softened: "Wait, wait, I'll write, I'll write the imperial decree first."

Li Xian and Li Shi were angry, ashamed, and sad.But there is no hindrance, if the emperor wants to write it, he can write it, anyway, the emperor will definitely not accept it.
