Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 316
Zhu Qiyu shook his head helplessly: "I don't know how to deal with these messy things in the harem. But our little princess is still pregnant, so I can't control anything now."

He Yi smiled and said, "Don't we still have two princesses?"

"That won't work, those two little concubines are still young, I don't want them to get involved in these dirty things.

That's it, promote those nobles to be concubines, and live in the east and west six palaces with the old concubines of the Supreme Emperor.

Then tidy up the Nangong, and let the Taishanghuang and Empress Qian live in the Nangong together after the Supreme Emperor returns to Beijing, the Empress Zhou and the prince live in the Kunning Palace, and the remaining concubines live in the East and West Sixth Palaces.

Whichever concubine the Supreme Emperor wants to sleep in, he can be recruited at any time. "

After all, Zhu Qiyu added: "Even if Wang Ji sincerely welcomes the Supreme Emperor back, it will take at least a year to finish the battle, and the Supreme Emperor will return to the capital, no matter what, it will be March next year.

When the general examination and palace examination are over, and the concubine has given birth, we can concentrate on fighting wits and courage with the Supreme Emperor.

As the saying goes, one bout of energy, another bout of exhaustion, and three bouts of exhaustion.

The first year when the Supreme Emperor returned to Beijing was the most powerful year for the Emperor's faction, and it was also the most difficult year for us.

As long as you hold back, the aura of the Emperor's Faction will become weaker year after year. "

He Yi asked curiously: "Looking at it now, even if the Supreme Emperor returns to Beijing, the Emperor's faction will have no excuse to challenge His Majesty, right?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled wryly: "Next year, I will start cutting down the feudal clan, and I will also use the salt tax."

After saying this, Zhu Qiyu himself couldn't help sighing.

It's really too difficult, it's really hard to be the emperor, and it's not as comfortable as the prince's life.

"Cutting down the feudal clan?"

"Well, the suzerain-vassal system established by Taizu is too unreasonable, or too selfish, just thinking about how the old Zhu family will enjoy themselves, but not caring about the life and death of the people.

It was alright at the beginning, but as the number of clans increased and the wealth in the hands of the feudal lords became more and more exaggerated, sooner or later Daming would have to go on the road of no return.

At that time, there will be no money to raise soldiers, and a small tribe with only [-] troops can overthrow Daming.

Don't look at how now Daming can suppress the surrounding alien races and fight casually. At the end of the dynasty, everything will be returned. "

These words were too advanced, and He Yi scratched his head when he heard this.

Zhu Qiyu stood up, walked out, and said with a smile: "I'm so sleepy, I'm going home to collect the vegetables, you should stay here and watch."

After leaving the West Pavilion, Zhu Qiyu walked home along the stone steps paved with white marble, thinking wildly and sighing wildly: No wonder the power of Ming's cabinet became more and more powerful as the time went by.

With such a large territory and such a large population, it is impossible for the emperor to work hard alone.

That is to say, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Taizong Zhu Di could bear such a method.

The remaining emperors couldn't help throwing these trivial matters to the cabinet.

These elites in the cabinet are really easy to use.

Ever since he completely replaced the cabinet with his own people, Zhu Qiyu has only [-]-[-]% of the original worry.

As for whether he will turn against the cabinet in the future?Zhu Qiyu himself was not sure.

According to Jiajing's experience, it seems not.

But it doesn't matter anymore, anyway, Zhu Qiyu has already made up his mind: between centralization and longevity, I would rather choose longevity.

People who have power but not power are dead, and power is useless no matter how great it is.

Wealth is not brought with birth, nor taken with death.Power is the same whether it is born or not, and it is not taken away after death.

Like Renzong, he was an emperor for less than a year, and then he went to see Taizu Taizong in only two days. What is the use of power?Can power bring Renzong back to life?
The same is true for Xuanzong, who claims to be a wise and powerful grandson, but ended up living ten years shorter than Renzong, who was obese and had foot problems. Thinking about it, I feel embarrassed for him.

As for Zhu Qiyu's longevity plan, it is naturally to breathe the freshest air in the mountains all day long, drink the clearest and sweetest spring water, and bathe in the most comfortable hot spring.

Another most important point is to maintain a peaceful and comfortable state of mind, and try to worry as little as possible about trivial matters.

Zhu Qiyu has been practicing this theory personally, and all the affairs of the court have been assigned to the cabinet and the six ministries.I only occasionally issue a few edicts on major policies.

The affairs of the family were completely assigned to the fifteen concubines.The favorite concubines perform their duties according to their own specialties.Some are in charge of accounts, some are in charge of farms and shops, some are in charge of knitters, some are in charge of rouge and gouache, and some are in charge of art and painting in the house.

Zhu Qiyu is only responsible for being the backbone at home.

Back in the room, the favorite concubines took off her clothes, Zhu Qiyu fell on the bed and didn't move anymore.

Lin Xiangyu slipped into Zhu Qiyu's arms like a kitten, covered the quilt, and stopped moving.

Qianxue sat on the other side, and asked with a troubled face: "Husband, Empress Qian wants to become a monk, and she said she wants to pray for the Supreme Emperor, do you agree?"

"How much?"

Zhu Qiyu asked weakly.

"Thirty thousand."

Qianxue replied very definitely.

Zhu Qiyu was amused when he heard the words: "I wondered why these stupid women in Xuanzong's family believed in Buddhism and were stunned by their belief in demons.

If the Buddha is really so effective, why did our family's Taishang emperor suffer such serious crimes outside the Great Wall?

They also paid [-] monks. Apart from being lazy and cheating, what else can these so-called monks do to benefit the country and the people?
Besides, if you really believe in the Buddha, you can just practice it yourself. Why do you have to be recognized by others if you are a monk or not? "

Qianxue smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, my husband, don't be idle with these bastards. Anyway, our family is a Taoist family, and we have our own lives with the Supreme Emperor's family of Buddhist believers. Just don't disturb each other."

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu nodded in satisfaction.

Qianxue asked again: "Then how many monks will be granted to Empress Qian?"

Zhu Qiyu categorically replied: "I won't give one. It's fine for a dignified empress if she doesn't know how to be sympathetic to the common people, but why do she have to raise such a large group of moths.

Not only do you have to refuse, but if Queen Qian knows that she will be a burden to the people all day long, then send her on the road as soon as possible. Daming doesn't need such a queen. "

Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to rejoice, fortunately, the original Concubine Wang, Princess Yi, was already on her way, and that one was even more superstitious about Buddhism than Queen Qian.

That is to say, destroying the Buddha would easily cause the emperor to die inexplicably, so Zhu Qiyu resisted the urge.

At this time, Lin Xiangyu suddenly showed her head, and smiled at Qianxue: "You girl, my husband managed to deal with the political affairs so easily, and you made him angry as soon as you came back, so I have to let my husband punish you well."

"Well, it should be punished. Let me think about some new tricks for the girl."

Silent all night.

On the second day, the cabinet reorganized the Shuntian Prefecture Examination.

The examination room this time was arranged in the square between Fengtian Temple and Fengtian Gate.

All the examiners and invigilators have been changed.

But the topic is still the original topic.

Zhu Qiyu was not afraid that candidates would have the opportunity to communicate with each other taking advantage of the chaos caused by the fire in the tribute field.
