Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 510 A Solemn Promise Not to Abolish the Prince
What the ministers didn't expect was that Zhu Qiyu didn't want to engage in any big plans in the capital.

Jingcha and Daji were deliberately thrown out from the beginning to make the officials object.What Zhu Qiyu really wants is to abolish the recommendation and resume the election.

Youchunfang Youzhong Yun Yesheng stood up and made another request: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the inner court has the East Factory, the Inner Factory, and the West Factory, and the duties are repeated.

Moreover, Shu Liang, the admiral and eunuch of the East Factory, has recently expanded the staff of the East Factory by a large margin. I think this move is inappropriate, and I implore His Majesty to abolish the Inner Factory and the West Factory, and reduce the number of personnel in the East Factory. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "The establishment of the inner factory and the western factory was originally a temporary move to ensure the safety of the widow. A few days ago, when the widow adjusted the inner court organization, the inner factory and the western factory had been abolished.

As for Dongchang, it was because when the few people were cleaning up the inner court, some old, sick and weak eunuchs had no place to place them, so they had to be temporarily placed in Dongchang.

After a while, when the internal funds are rich, the widow will dismiss these people. "

Upon hearing this, Ye Sheng saluted and withdrew.Although I know that what the emperor said about the East Factory is just making up nonsense, but after all, the Emperor has already revoked the Inner Factory and the West Factory, and it would be too much to ask the bottom of it relentlessly.

Li Kan immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I invite you to have a sutra feast and give lectures for the crown prince."

"allow."

Without thinking, Zhu Qiyu replied decisively.

The promise was so fast that even Li Kan himself was taken aback.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Li Kan can only bite the bullet and continue to ask: "Recently, there are rumors in the market that His Majesty is going to depose the prince and replace him with his own son.

I implore Your Majesty to conduct a detailed investigation to quell the rumors and calm people's hearts. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yes, the prince is the foundation of the country and cannot be shaken. Let the Sanfa Division cooperate with Shuntian Mansion to investigate and deal with it. Anyone who spreads rumors will be arrested and dealt with severely."

Besides, is Ai Qing still worried about the prince's personal safety?
You, Lin Cong, Ye Sheng, and Zhu Ying, as Zhongyun and Zanshan of Youchunfang, are officials of the crown prince.From now on, you will follow Liu Dingzhi to Ciqing Palace to study with the prince every morning, and you will not leave the palace until the palace gate is locked.

In this way, on the one hand, it can help the prince with his homework, and on the other hand, it can also protect the prince's safety. "

Zhu Qiyu's meaning is very simple, since you don't trust me, then you should watch the prince every day, so that I won't murder him again.

Now that I am at the Grand Court Assembly, in front of all civil and military officials, I solemnly declare that I will not depose the crown prince, let alone assassinate the crown prince. You all have nothing to say.

When the ministers heard the emperor's solemn promise, they really had nothing to say, but they felt even more strange in their hearts.

Ordinarily, from a normal human perspective, the emperor would definitely choose to depose the prince. Who wouldn't want to pass the throne to his son?

People's hearts are so strange, the emperor did not promise to protect the prince, and everyone was so worried that they couldn't sleep.The emperor promised to save the prince, but everyone felt that the emperor was out of his mind.

So when the emperor replied, Li Kan temporarily changed his mind after being surprised for a while, and chose to explore further:
"All the beautiful women selected by the Ministry of Rites before were killed in the mutiny. Your Majesty, please order the Ministry of Rites to re-select the beautiful women, and establish a queen as soon as possible, so as to calm the hearts of the subjects in the world."

Zhu Qiyu glanced at Li Kan coldly, why are these people endless, it seems that he still didn't kill enough people.

You always asked me to choose the queen to choose the queen, but I really chose the queen, and the queen gave birth to the prince, and you didn't let him be the prince.

Zhu Qiyu hadn't finished cursing in his heart, when he saw a large group of civil servants kneeling down, shouting in unison: "Your Majesty, please establish a queen as soon as possible, so that the hearts of the world can be reassured."

Among the courtiers, the nobles and generals stood still, because of a mutiny, all the nobles and generals loyal to Zhu Qizhen had been wiped out.

The nobles and generals who can still stand here to go to court are basically Zhu Qiyu's cronies, and these people have already recognized Wu Dinghou's grandson Zhu Wenfang as the next emperor.Some civil servants want to choose another queen, and then create a prince to compete with Zhu Wenfang?

Are you kidding me, do you think the sabers of the Xiaoqiying Battalion are not sharp enough?Still think that the firearms of Shenjiying can't kill people?
Among the civil servants, the bachelor and the six ministers are all from Zhu Qiyu, so they are relatively reliable.For the remaining people, there are those who don't care who is the emperor, and those who are willing to surrender to the emperor.

Among the middle- and lower-level civil servants, apart from Xinke Scholars, there are still very few who are willing to give their allegiance to Zhu Qiyu sincerely.

Zhu Qiyu just glanced at Liu Chang indifferently, and Liu Chang quickly pulled out the saber from his waist.

In front of the Meridian Gate, three thousand Yingzhou guards all drew out their sabers and surrounded them with a unified pace and a murderous look.

The clansmen of Sanyang were executed in front of the Meridian Gate, and the ground was already stained with blood, but now the soldiers of the Yingzhou Guards are threatening to come over with murderous intent, and they already have the momentum of fighting on the battlefield.

Moreover, this group of personal guards not only went to the battlefield and killed the Tartars; when the civil servants killed Ma Shun, these personal guards had already participated in the suppression of civil servants and the execution of the chief villain.

The civil servants who were kneeling to petition were immediately discouraged, and the emperor gave an order that these guards really dared to kill the civil servants, and they were not joking at all.

Li Kan, who took the lead, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are just following the court system, and have no intention of forcing the palace."

Zhu Qiyu sneered and said: "I can't blame my personal guards for misunderstanding, even the widow himself doesn't understand you. You insist on forcing the widow to be a queen repeatedly, and you don't allow the son born by the queen to be the prince.

The imperial court is not run by your family, so it won't work if you take all the good things.

You are so domineering, no wonder the widow's personal guards think you are forcing the palace. "

When everyone heard this, they quickly fell to the ground and said, "I will never dare to dare to overstep my bounds. Your Majesty, please take a closer look."

Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly, did not answer, but turned to Wang Wen and the others with a smile: "What else is there in the cabinet, continue to play, right?"

Zhu Qiyu didn't let the ministers get up, and the guards didn't sheath their swords, they just held them there.

They chatted for another half an hour, until Zhu Qiyu left with Wang Wen and other important officials, and the personal guards followed him.

Only the vassals are completely honest, and there is indeed some truth, which can only be explained with a sharp steel knife.

Those ministers who did not participate in the "forced palace" publicly complained about Li Kan and others' troublesome things. They had a good talk with the emperor. The emperor gave the ministers a lot of benefits. In exchange, the ministers supported the emperor's reform. Isn't it good that the monarch and his ministers get along well and everyone is happy.

People like Li Kan insisted on claiming to be loyal ministers and righteous men of Xuanmiao and Emperor Gongrang, looking for trouble and humiliating themselves.

But Zhu Qiyu took Wang Wen and others to the Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry in the inner city to inspect the coinage.

The Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry now has two factory areas. In addition to the old factory in the inner city, a larger mint has also been built in the outer city.

The small amount of silver coins was mainly minted in the inner city, while the large amount of copper coins were all minted in the outer city.

As soon as he entered Baoyuan Bureau, Zhou Chen eloquently explained the coinage process to the emperor and important ministers.

Wang Wen asked curiously: "When we mint coins, don't we add anything to them?"

Zhou Chen asked curiously, "Qianzhi, what are you going to mix in?"

Wang Wen was choked by Zhou Chen's rhetorical question.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Okay, don't be joking. What we want to create is a decent and prosperous world, the same governance as Wen Jing.

During Emperor Wen's reign, Wu Wang's money and Deng Tong's money of excellent quality circulated all over the world.

We are the same, we are ambitious and pursuing monarchs and ministers, we want to be famous forever, we can't always think about opportunism, and collect coins that lack great virtue.

Let's go out and grab the silver mines. If we grab the silver mines, there will be plenty of silver that can be minted. Don't always think about robbing it from the people. The people are already suffering enough. "
