Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 422 The court situation is gradually chaotic
Human nature is so inexplicable.

When Zhu Qizhen was the emperor, he loved and trusted Wang Zhen to such an extent that he even ordered all civil and military officials to kneel and salute when they saw Wang Zhen.

Civil and military officials are naturally full of resentment.

But now that the emperor has changed, Zhu Qiyu neither relies heavily on eunuchs nor Daxing factory guards.

But civil and military officials are still dissatisfied, and everyone is dissatisfied with whoever sits on the throne.

The Emperor Gongrang, who had lost his power, became more beautiful in the eyes of all officials. This is the magic weapon for everyone to check and balance the new emperor.

Ever since, when Zhu Qizhen appeared on the imperial steps of the Chonghua Hall, all the civil and military officials kowtowed and kowtowed.

Originally, Zhu Qizhen was not in good health and his mind was still a little groggy. Seeing this situation and dreaming back to the orthodox prosperous age, he couldn't help becoming top-heavy.

The matter of accepting concubines after the election must be led by the Ministry of Rites.After a few chatters between the monarch and his ministers, Zou Gan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, put forward the petition, and all the officials actively seconded it.

Although Zhu Qizhen had already agreed in his heart, the process still had to go, so he immediately asked Zou Gan with hesitation:
"This is a major national event, and it should be decided by the emperor. I have sinners who have betrayed the ancestral temple and the country, how dare I hear about it?"

When Zou Gan heard the words, he quickly led all the officials to persuade him.

In the end, Zhu Qizhen couldn't shirk it, and reluctantly replied: "This matter should be reported to the empress dowager first, and then it can be implemented."

Zhu Qizhen hadn't completely drifted away yet. To offend the emperor, the Empress Dowager Sun had to be dragged into the water together. If something went wrong, there should be someone to share the responsibility.

So on a hot day, Xing'an and Cao Jixiang trotted all the way to the Yinghua Palace to ask the Empress Dowager Ming's intentions, and then ran back to Nangong.

When they returned to Zhu Qizhen's side, the two of them were already out of breath.Along the way, the two kept swearing and swearing that they must urge the internal officials and the Ministry of Industry to quickly build the Renshou Palace for the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager Sun was kind, and readily approved the selection of the concubine.

With the queen mother's statement, Zhu Qizhen finally gave up.

All civil and military officials shouted long live, and after Emperor Jingtai's "arbitrary" two years, all officials finally won a game.

Next, it is the competition for the position of queen and noble concubine.

On the surface it's pretty good, girls are selected from all over the country, but can civil and military officials, relatives, and nobles resist manipulating behind the scenes?

Between the monarch and his ministers, they discussed the recent court situation for a while, and then they dispersed.

After what happened today, the confidence of all the officials has greatly increased.The current emperor is really too weak: he even allowed all the officials to pay tribute to the emperor, even allowed the emperor to interfere in politics, and even let the emperor and all the officials pass the proposal to accept the concubine after election.

This is not like the previous Emperor Jingtai, all civil and military officials began to believe that the emperor was really seriously ill.

At noon, the secret report was delivered to Zhu Qiyu.

After the election, the cabinet drafted a decree for accepting concubines, and the ceremonial supervisor used the seal, and then officially announced it to the public.

This imperial decree was never sent to the western suburbs for the emperor to have a look at.

This is a test of today's world by all civil and military officials, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Gongrang.

There is nothing wrong with trying to get to the bottom of it, after all, it was Zhu Qiyu himself who ordered all the officials to go to Emperor Gongrang for adjudication if there was something they couldn't decide.

After Zhu Qiyu finished reading it, he passed the secret report to the favorite concubines to read.

Contrary to Zhu Qiyu's expectation, the four favorite concubines looked as usual and did not respond.

Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to instigate: "Aifei, you are going to have a group of more sisters, please be happy."

When Qianxue heard the words, she smiled like a flower, full of joy, and replied softly: "Congratulations, congratulations, husband. After the queen is established, our sisters will have two masters, one male and one female.

In pairs, in pairs, staying and flying together, wonderful, wonderful, true gods and couples.

It's just that I don't know if the mistress of the slave family likes this remote and claustrophobic Lingyu Palace.

According to our queens and queen mothers of all dynasties, almost all of them believe in Buddhism except the queen mother.

According to Nu's family, it would be better to demolish the Lingyu Palace and rebuild it into a magnificent Buddhist temple.The husband moved back to the Forbidden City and lived in Kunning Palace.

In this way, Daming's new empress, our hostess, must be very fond of it. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded approvingly, and then asked with a smile: "Where do the concubines live?"

Qianxue replied with a matter of course: "Of course we live in the Huanyi Bureau. After we get old and look bad, we can still live in the An Le Tang.

When my husband designed and built the outer city of Beijing, he also specially reserved a large area of ​​land for the construction of the Anle Hall to accommodate the elderly eunuchs and court ladies. "

Zhu Qiyu squeezed Qianxue Bai's pretty face, and praised repeatedly: "It's really a good woman. However, there is no need to go to Huanyiju and Anletang.

Not to mention letting you be raped by tens of thousands of people in the clothes bureau, even if another man touches one of your fingers, I will kill their whole family.

Alright, stop joking with you, prepare your pen and ink, and write me a few paragraphs. "

Today should be the fastest time for the favorite concubines, Qianxue and Suxi quickly got up to fetch pens and inks, Lin Xiangyu and Ning Xiang also helped spread the paper and grind the ink.

The preparations were soon stopped, Suxi was in charge of writing, and the girls waited anxiously for Zhu Qiyu to speak.

Zhu Qiyu laughed helplessly and said: "First, regarding Shandong's efforts to build rivers and control water, Xu Youzhen was promoted to be the right minister of the Ministry of Industry;

Cui Gongchao, the magistrate of Laizhou, moved to be the right minister of Shandong.

Second, all the three major weaving bureaus in the south of the Yangtze River were completely and thoroughly transferred to the Ministry of Industry, and all the admirals and eunuchs of the weaving bureaus were recalled.

Third, eliminate the battle of picking pearls in Guangdong and Guangxi forever, and immediately recall all the eunuchs in the Pearl Pond.

Fourth, the eunuch Jin Ying, the supervisor of ceremonies, conspired against the emperor and murdered the royal family, which is a crime that cannot be punished.Put Jinying and his party in jail and ransack their homes.

Fifth, brothers Zhang Pu and Zhang Zongjian sacrificed their lives to protect Fang Xiaoru's anthology.I have been commended before, but I still feel that it is not enough to commend righteousness.

The cabinet was ordered to draw up an edict to present Zhang Pu as a lecturer of the Imperial Academy, and to present Zhang Zongjian as a lecturer of the Imperial Academy.Each gave his son a thousand taels of silver and a hundred pieces of brocade.

He ordered Yang Shan, the censor of Youqian capital of the capital procuratorate, to offer sacrifices to the two men, and extended condolences to their families on behalf of the emperor. "

After finishing speaking in one breath, Zhu Qiyu nodded: "That's all for today, don't worry, let's make a few decrees every day, and within a month, all six servants will be completed."

Suxi's writing speed is extremely fast, it can be said that she can write instantly.

Zhu Qiyu nodded in satisfaction. Each of his favorite concubines has special skills, and fifteen favorite concubines together are simply omnipotent.All the advantages that women need to have can be found in them.

Suxi handed over the written edict: "Husband, see if there is any problem."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "You don't need to look at it, you can go and send it to He Yi. Qian Xue went to summon the generals of the Yingzhou Guards and immediately launched a purge of Jinying's party. The specific command is in charge of the Yuma Supervisor."

Qianxue and Suxi immediately got up and went out, and the favorite concubines tacitly avoided the matter of accepting concubines after the election.

Zhu Qiyu leaned back on the soft couch, and the killing intent in his heart boiled up.The elimination of Jinying's party is the prelude to the killing spree.

Zhu Qiyu's principle is very simple: You can insult me, no problem, I can bear it.But if you want to touch my woman, there is only one word waiting for you: death.

As for the specific strategy, just one sentence: you do what you do, and I do mine.

You toss and choose the concubine after the election, and I will adjust the six ministers and ministers.

Zhu Qiyu does not expect to replace all the ministers and ministers of the six departments with his cronies, but he can change them to a combination of cronies and technocrats.

For example, Shen Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, has strong financial management skills, is a very clean official, has no obvious political stance, and only knows how to work hard. These all need to be vigorously promoted.

If you want to create a prosperous ZTE, you need a large number of such technocrats.

Political struggle alone cannot build a prosperous world.

The mirror lake on the south side of Fengge Pavilion is still as clear as a mirror.

The Guanxin Pavilion on the south side of Mirror Lake is still quiet and quiet, with a wide view.

He Yi, Gao Yao, and Wang Xian had lunch, made a pot of tea, served two plates of snacks, and chatted leisurely in the Guanxin Pavilion.
