Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 393
Zhu Qiyu was speechless, the women in the harem were better than each other, and the eunuchs in the inner court were also better at playing.

I'm here to enjoy the blessings of being an emperor, not to see you perform Infernal Affairs for me.

Zhu Qiyu returned the copybook to Ruan Xi, and asked helplessly: "Empress Zhou did abuse lynching, but let me deal with her, the courtiers must be so happy, I can immediately put a 'abuse of the prince's biological mother' Put the big hat on my head.

If I don't deal with her, it's another practice of favoritism, and I can't explain it to Queen Qian.

I'm too lazy to think about it, so you just say what should I do? "

Ruan Xi smiled and said, "Push back this melody, and leave the decision-making power to Emperor Gongrang. No matter how Emperor Gongrang handles it, no one else can blame me anyway."

"Oh, you mean to hand over the control of Nangong and Harem to Emperor Gongrang in the future?"

Ruan Xi nodded with a smile: "I said that if you want to take something, you must first give it to you. As the saying goes, if you don't want your child to be a wolf."

"Heh heh heh, you are a good lobbyist. After you go back, Empress Qian will not reward you with a lot of gold, silver and jewels."

"That's for sure, but after the servant receives it, he will immediately hand it over to the princess."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Okay, you can take the flowers yourself. Even if you don't enjoy yourself extravagantly, you still have to win over your subordinates.

Life is so sad these days, I don't have rice in my hand, and I can't even coax a chicken.

Alright, go back to the city to announce the good news to Queen Qian, I have to sleep with your princess. "

……

Zhu Qiyu returned home to be at ease, while Ruan Xi took the Enke edict drawn up by Wang Yue along the way and returned to the capital.

With Queen Zhou's "doing her own thing" as an example, the inner court also began to follow the example.

Ruan Xi went to the cabinet first, and then returned to the Supervisor of Rituals. After checking with Wang Cheng, he went through the process and officially issued the order to add Enke.

Now there are so many eunuchs holding pens in the supervisor of ceremonies that they can't be counted with two hands, but most of them have not had time to hear the wind, and the edict has been officially issued.

Ruan Xi also self-servingly approved the memorial for the impeachment of Empress Zhou, and then hurriedly returned to Empress Qian.

After learning that Zhu Qiyu had handed over the control of the Nangong and the harem to Emperor Gongrang, the Qian family was also overjoyed, and rewarded Ruan Xi with most of his private money when he was happy.

Why is it more than half of the private house money?

Because when Zhu Qizhen was first captured, Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Qian privately assembled eight carts of rare treasures to redeem him.Later, the soldiers came to the city first, and Empress Qian organized the entire harem to collect the ransom money, which basically exhausted all the private money in her hand.

After that, Empress Qian completely lost her power, so she could only live by monthly rules.

Although she is expensive as a queen, she really can't save a lot of money by relying on monthly bills.

In the beginning, whether Taizu set the salaries of officials or the monthly rules of the harem, he was very tight-lipped.

When Zhu Qizhen was the emperor, he was also very frugal in life, and the treatment of the queen and concubines in the harem was not very good.

Therefore, the women in Zhu Qizhen, one counts as one, are all envious of the emperor's favorite concubines.

In the eyes of these women, today's emperor is the most absurd and maddened emperor in Ming Dynasty: one favorite concubine gives 45 silver pocket money every year, and fifteen favorite concubines give [-] taels a year.

This is just pocket money, and the jewellery, silk satin, porcelain and jade that are usually used are opened up and bought.

From ancient times to the present, no matter how old or young, there is no woman who doesn't like the word "casual flower".

This treatment is really good, one must know that most princes only have a salary of [-] shi a year, and they may not be able to get the full amount.

So no matter how Zhu Qiyu 'tortures' or 'plays', the remaining fifteen favorite concubines will not be able to send them away.

The attitudes of the fifteen favorite concubines towards Zhu Qiyu were surprisingly unanimous: I'm lying flat, I'm not moving, my body is stretched out, you can do whatever you want.

This is Zhu Qiyu's strategy of building a community of interests: now no favorite concubine would hope that his cash cow would have three ups and two downs.A gentle and considerate tree that is good at taking care of women's money-making power, it must live a hundred years to be reasonable.

The women respecting the emperor only know envy, but they can't understand Zhu Qiyu's deep meaning.

Unlike the women in the deep palace, the civil and military officials of the outer courts are much more sensitive to the emperor's intentions.

As soon as the emperor's decree to add Enke came out, Wang Wen immediately sent all the memorials received by the cabinet to the Qi Palace.

This includes more than a dozen Xinke Jinshi satirizing the emperor.

According to normal principles, Wang Wen, as one of the chief examiners of this year's imperial examination, should protect these hot-headed new scholars.

But Wang Wen, who is extremely keen in judging the political situation, discovered the problem.

Among the newly-approved Scholars, there are too many Jiangxi natives.

Not to mention that the emperor has already passed more than 20 memorials, but just said that the memorials just sent out today include Zhang Ye, Liu Fu, Tang Mao, You Ming, Liu Jian, Liu Yi, Long Xu, Wu Li, Li Zhi, these are all new scholars from Jiangxi.

Among these Jinshi in Jiangxi, Ji'an, Jiangxi is the most.

And Ji'an, Jiangxi is Yang Shiqi's hometown.

Are these people in series?Have you formed a party?

Will the emperor find out about this problem?Will there be unnecessary associations?
Wang Wen didn't dare to gamble with his own future, why bother to take the position of chief assistant for these messy Jinshi.

Let's cut it quickly, cut it in two, and it's over.

In the early morning of the next day, more than a dozen Xinke Scholars, who came back from the memory, came to the door of the cabinet and waited together, demanding to get back the memorabilia submitted yesterday.

Zhang Ye and others thought that everyone would come to guard the cabinet before it even opened, and they would definitely be able to get back yesterday's memorial.

Unexpectedly, there was no one waiting on the left, no one waiting on the right, after waiting for more than half an hour, finally Xu Youzhen, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, came.

Most of the ministers in the cabinet are working in the Sixth Department. Now that the limelight is too tight, everyone tends to go to the Sixth Department to dawdle first, and then come to the cabinet.

The one who came to the cabinet first was basically the one who took the blame and did the hard work.

Xu Youzhen had just entered the cabinet, and hadn't figured out the way to do it yet, but now she was the first to come to the cabinet stupidly, and bumped into these bastards.

However, Xu Youzhen's mind was also very quick, so she agreed on the spot, and politely invited these people into the cabinet.

After pretending to search in the cabinet, Xu Youzhen said to everyone with a helpless face: "You have seen it too, without your memorial book, and everyone else's memorial book.

In other words, last night, the cabinet minister on duty sent out the playbook overnight.

At this time, all the playbooks should have arrived in front of the imperial court, and there is nothing I can do to help. "

Only now did Zhang Ye and the others panic completely.

Once the emperor's edict to add Enke was issued, all the ministers with good brains could see that this was the emperor's most resolute counterattack against those new scholars who were jumping up and down.

These figures are easy to understand. Normally, it should be [-] Jinshi in the second year of Jingtai, and [-] Jinshi in the fifth year of Jingtai, a total of [-] Jinshi.

Now that the emperor's Enke is opened, there will be [-] Jinshi in Jingtai five years ago.

It means that even if all the Jinshi this year turn against the emperor, the emperor only needs the [-] Jinshi in the fifth year of Jingtai, which is [-] more Jinshi than normal.

Therefore, this year's Xinke Jinshi is not indispensable to the emperor.

If there is no loyalty, I would rather not have one. This is the emperor's clear statement.

　Important notice: The upper limit will be waived on July 7th. If you are not in a hurry to read, you can wait until July 5th to follow up.

　　Here comes the recommendation, next month I will make more updates, and strive to be on the vane in August.

　　Set up a 1000 fan value to join the group, anyone who can see here can add it.I plan to raise it to 3000 fans after a while. If there are fewer people, it will be less. Safety is the most important thing.
