Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 513: The South Mansion was rebuilt as a civil and military school and the North Mansion was dedicated to the Seven Emperors of the Han Temple
Zhu Qiyu is more or less obsessive-compulsive, and likes to make the army organization more neat and concise.

The military establishment of the Ming Dynasty was always in a mess.For example, Jinyiwei once swelled to tens of thousands, or even 10,000+ people.And the top leaders of Jin Yiwei may be Zuo Dudu, You Dudu, Dudu Tongzhi, Du Commander, Du Commander Tongzhi, or Commander.

When it came to Zhu Qiyu's own army, it was completely different.One radish and one pit, each level of position has strict standards.

After the addition of the three major capital divisions, the Fengtian capital division became a structure of one commander and eight commanders.

One is the commanding envoy, and the other two are both commanding the same knowledge and co-leading the governors;
The three commanded Tongzhi to be in charge of Tiance Guard, Yingzhou Guard, and Duoyan Guard respectively;

The remaining three commanded Tongzhi to be in charge of the Daning Xingdu Division, the Shuntian Xingdu Division, and the Baoding Xingdu Division respectively.

Five eunuchs and eunuchs are in charge of the military talismans and supervise from the side.

In this way, there will be mutual checks and balances and mutual supervision, so that no one can dominate.

The generals present were also very satisfied with this arrangement, because the emperor immediately created three more positions, all of which were commanding colleagues, which meant that everyone could be promoted again.

Next, Zhu Qiyu told his generals about some specific assignments of responsibilities, some were sent to Shanxi to quell the civil uprising, and some were sent to Guangdong and Guangxi to participate in the battle to regain Annan.

After finishing the speech with great difficulty, Zhu Qiyu took Lin Xiangyu to the Lumi warehouse and the Yinyin warehouse on the west side of Wudinghou when he came out of Fengtian Dusi.

The recent house raids have been so ruthless that these two warehouses have been piled up to the brim.

Looking at the mountain of white grain, Lin Xiangyu sighed with displeasure: "My family is really worthless for your husband. In the first year of Jingtai, you raised the salary of all officials by [-]%, and this year it has increased by [-]%.

In the past, if an official had an annual salary of [-] shi, he could only receive [-] shi Lumi at most, and the remaining [-] shi had to be folded into precious banknotes like waste paper.

Now, officials who had an annual salary of 140 shi can now receive [-] shi.Their salaries have actually more than tripled, and will continue to rise next year.

Not to mention, the husband also divided the white grain originally owned by the inner court into one hundred thousand shi, which was used to pay the civil and military ministers, nobles and relatives of the emperor in Beijing.

The five prefectures in Suzhou and Changzhou only turned in a total of 15 shi of grain every year, and most of it was given to them.

In this way, the civil and military officials were still talking about their orthodox emperor all day long. Their Xuanmiao Emperor and the orthodox emperor were both good in every way, except that their husbands were sorry for them. "

Zhu Qiyu hugged the beauty and smiled nonchalantly: "Forget it, there is no need to be angry with them. Their hearts are cold and hard, not warm.

I just do what I think I should do, and I don't expect them to thank me.

Don’t mention these civil and military officials involved in political struggles, let’s talk about the people of Ming Dynasty, how much financial pressure I have endured in order to implement the three-year rotation tax exemption plan, will they thank me?Nor will it.

This emperor, let's be foolish.When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples.I live everything so clearly that I have to tire people out of trouble.

Fortunately, there has been enough trouble this year, and there is nothing else to do in the remaining months except running Shandong.Let's go, pack your things and go back to our Lingyu Palace to play with women. "

The Wuding Marquis Mansion's neighbor to the east is Fengtian Dusi, and its neighbor to the west is Lumicang.Zhu Qiyu returned to Wudinghou Mansion, took his two concubines with him, got on the chariot, and first came to his old prince's mansion.

The two little concubines looked at the old mansion and shook their heads again and again, Ning Xiang asked: "My lord, you see that the periphery of our old Qi mansion has been burnt down. Do you want to rebuild it, or use it for other purposes?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "My idea is to remove the garden of the old Qi Wangfu, and divide the rest into two parts, the east part will be rebuilt into the Jingtai Literature Hall, and the west part will be rebuilt into the Jingtai Martial Arts Academy.

The Garden of the Old Qi Palace was merged with the Old Han Palace in the north, and was changed into the Handi Temple and Jingtai Garden for the people of the capital to worship and visit.

To the west of the old man's mansion is the Tian Cewei camp, and another street to the west is the Waidong Factory.Further west across the palace wall of the Forbidden City is the Imperial Horse Supervisor.In this Tian Cewei camp, there are [-] troops stationed, and there is another mutiny in the province.If the emperor is allowed to make trouble again, our pro-army will have killed Nangong in half an hour. "

Ning Xiang asked again: "Then if the emperor is allowed to make trouble again, he should be killed. Sacrifice to the ancestors, beheaded to the Taimiao?"

Zhu Qiyu patted Aifei's little head: "What are you thinking, you little idiot, you brazenly executed the emperor in public, that's what the Sima family did.

If Emperor Gong Rang makes trouble again, I will depose him as a prince and let him go to Nanjing to guard Xiaoling Mausoleum for Taizu.

Then when the heat is almost ready, it can be sealed.

It just so happened that the mausoleum he built cost more than 600 million taels, which was reserved for our children and grandchildren. In this way, one less emperor's mausoleum could be built, and another 600 million taels of white money was saved for the people.

With this money, it is enough to exempt the remaining provinces from tax next year. "

Lin Xiangyu teased when she heard the words: "My husband wants to save money for the common people, but he has gone crazy."

Ningxiang asked curiously: "Husband, what is a secret minister? How can I secretly abdicate to the emperor?"

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "secret execution, that is, secret execution. First, Emperor Gong Rang will be demoted to prince, and locked up in Xiaoling. When the time is right, when I go out to tour the south, I will go to Xiaoling and close the door in front of everyone. In front of Taizu, he counted the crimes of the Emperor Gongrang and made a verdict.

Then after the first half of the eighth month, let the eunuch strangle him and it's over. "

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said, "My husband is gone again, which eunuch would do this kind of dirty work for you?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled indifferently and said, "Yuan Cheng, who else is there? He won't do the dirty work, so I'll let him accompany Emperor Gong Rang to meet the ancestors."

But at this point, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help it.In fact, at that point, Zhu Qiyu would send the eunuch Jiang An and Yuan Cheng to work together, and then order Yuan Cheng to silence Jiang An.

Because in history, Jingtai was strangled to death by Jiang An.

There is no way, then I can only use the way of the other and return it to him.

Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu changed the topic: "My husband knows what he means by the literary and martial arts schools. But you want to transform the Old Han Palace into a Han Emperor Temple, and combine the old Han Palace Garden and the Lao Qi Palace Garden into Jingtai Garden is to give the people of the capital a place to do activities and play, and at the same time to promote Han culture?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "That's right, that's what it means. What if we don't promote the Dahan culture? Do we want to promote the Dayuan culture? Promote the Dasong culture?
Dayuan said that the Mongols are the first class, the Semu people are the second class, the northern Hans are the third class, and the southern Hans are the fourth class.

Our Emperor Taizu said: I am originally a farmer, happy to be born in the Yuan Dynasty.

Needless to say, giving away all the women in the capital to the Kingdom of Jin for fun, and then blaming his own women for being out of character after playing, what kind of stuff is that.Forget it, mentioning them is just dirtying my mouth. "

Ningxiang asked again: "Which emperors are enshrined in the Han Emperor Temple?"

"Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, Emperor Zhongzong Xiaoxuan, Emperor Shizu Guangwu, Emperor Xianzong Xiaoming, Emperor Suzong Xiaozhang, Emperor Zhaoye, a total of seven."

"Emperor Zhaolie also wants to worship?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded with certainty: "Emperor Zhaolie's spirit is commendable, and he should be enshrined here to inspire our descendants.

After two or three hundred years, when our Ming Dynasty came to the end of the road, your descendants have experienced the hardships of the last days, and they will know how difficult it was for Emperor Zhaolie. "
