Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 674: Throwing stones to question Louis Chu opens the curtain to increase troops in Shandong to guard against conspiracy
While Zhu Qiyu was struggling with how to conquer Japan, Ningxiang took out a long list from her sleeve and began to sit at the coffee table and write.

Zhu Qiyu's attention was attracted. When he looked closer, he saw that there were many names on it. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "What is my concubine doing? Is there going to be a purge in the inner court?"

Ningxiang smiled and said: "The inner court is in charge of my husband's two concubines, Chao Yun and Mu Yu. How dare the slave family dare to meddle in other people's affairs.

Do you still remember when you bought over 1000 men and women from North Korea?
It has been several years, and the character of everyone has become apparent.The slave family thought that among them, those who were gentle and honest would stay, while those who were eccentric and restless would be sent back to North Korea.

Some of them were sent to the palaces of the princes of North Korea as female officials and chamberlains, and the better ones were eunuchs who guarded and guarded various places in North Korea.

This will not only reduce the mess of servants messing around in the house, but also provide hundreds of more people to monitor North Korea for us.What do you think, husband? "

Zhu Qiyu nodded in approval and said, "What a great idea. North Korea has just come under rule and is in a mess. We need to send spies to strengthen surveillance. My beloved concubine is really a good helper to me. She always thinks ahead for me in everything."

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "Use North Koreans to spy on North Korea?"

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "You don't understand this. The previous emperors often sent Korean eunuchs to Korea to fight the autumn breeze. When those eunuchs returned to their homeland, they were all arrogant and arrogant, and they often scolded and made things difficult for the king and ministers of Korea without thinking about it. Old love.

Besides, when these eunuchs were in North Korea, they were the lowest level untouchables and were oppressed. What feelings could they have towards North Korea?

Therefore, Korean eunuchs are more ruthless to their motherland, and are much more cruel than our Ming people.Ningxiang, this girl, has finally figured out how to play with human nature. "

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "That's true, your palace empress is still more powerful."

Zhu Qiyu teased: "None of you five are bad, some pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, some pretend to be tigers to eat pigs, all of you are careful and scheming bitches.

Pity me, an honest person, wandering around in circles, being played by the five of you. "

The three girls, Lin Xiangyu, Qianxue, and Su Xi, were ruthlessly exposed. They all snorted and turned away with guilty conscience.

Ningxiang asked with a smile: "One more thing. Shandong has been flooded recently, and there is fear of civil unrest. Why don't the two sisters guarding Qi Prince's Mansion in Qingzhou temporarily recall to the capital.

Otherwise, if there was an accident, it would be a big joke.Especially with Yi Chu coming soon, there is no guarantee that Xuan Miao and the orthodox loyal ministers will not jump over the wall and take desperate risks.

The two sisters in Dengzhou were better off. After all, Dengzhou had many soldiers and generals at this time and the defense was tight.If your husband is worried, just send two more personal guards to guard Dengzhou and Qingzhou respectively. "

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while, then nodded: "It is true. In emergency situations, we must be more cautious and prudent. Although I have replaced a large number of people, the prefects, county magistrates, and commanders of the various guards in Shandong are not in good condition, as well as Xuanmiao and The orthodox loyal minister.

Let's do this, select 1 people from Tiance Guard, Yingzhou Guard, and Baoding Guard and transfer them to Qingzhou and Dengzhou.

Whoever dares to interfere with Yi Chu, I will send his whole family to see Xuan Miao.Under Jiuquan, let them be loyal ministers of Xuan Temple.

After eight years as emperor, I finally figured it out. Emperor Taizong was right.Killing them all is the right way to end everything. "

Lin Xiangyu deliberately added to the problem: "Taizong first killed his legitimate wife and four biological children, and then killed Emperor Hui's four sons on the grounds that they were not his biological children. Later, he killed his younger brother, King Huainan, and completely secured the throne.

If my husband had followed Taizong's example earlier, the throne would have been as stable as Mount Tai. "

"The Taizong I just mentioned is our great-grandfather, but you, a bad girl, asked me to learn from Taizong of the Han Dynasty.

Okay, okay, I listen to you, I'm going to kill Zhu Jianshen now, and let you see if I can learn from Taizong of the Han Dynasty. "

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, calm down and calm down. I made a mistake. Please give me a good punishment once."

Just as Zhu Qiyu was about to speak, he heard Ningxiang scold: "Young girl, don't do this. My husband just promised me twice. It's not your turn today. Kneel down in the corner and reflect." As soon as these words came out, several girls The fight started again.

In the long night, the lamp was not lit, and a husband sang five beautiful songs solo.In the end, Zhu Qiyu couldn't tell who got it once and who got it twice.

Silent all night.

Early on the next morning, the important ministers of the cabinet and the kings, princes and princes in Beijing received gifts from the emperor.

This is extremely rare. Since the Jingtai Dynasty, the emperor has rarely rewarded his ministers.

It's not that the emperor is stingy, but that he deliberately keeps a distance from his ministers and tries not to make the distance between them too obvious.

Zhou Chen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is the most knowledgeable about goods. While looking at the exquisite cloisonné enamel lotus pattern refrigerator, he explained its functions to his family.

At the end, Zhou Chen also gave a conclusion: "This novel artifact is worth at least a thousand gold. Jibu Yinuo, a thousand gold is not easy."

Zhou Chen saw it clearly, but his family members did not understand the deeper meaning. They just commented on the novel refrigerator and lamented the emperor's great kindness.

Zhou Chen's descendants are all ordinary people, so after accepting them, there was no further reaction.

Geng Yu, the son of the new Hubu Shangshu Geng Jiuchou, was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Jingtai and is only 27 years old this year.

After accepting the emperor's reward, Geng Jiuchou sat in the hall and drank tea leisurely.

Geng Yu asked curiously: "Father, will you accept it like this?"

Geng Jiuchou asked curiously: "This is a reward from the Holy One. What if you don't accept it? Do you want to resist the decree? Have you lived enough?"

Geng Yu shook his head: "It's not enough to live, but my son doesn't understand that his father's reputation for integrity is as well-known in the world as the Minister of Xuan.

According to my father's usual behavior, he should have written a letter with firm words and begged the Holy One to practice frugality. "

Geng Jiuchou heard this and educated his son: "It is right for us ministers to be honest and frugal. But we should not be too pedantic. You still want to write a letter to implore the Holy Spirit to practice frugality. Can we ministers show some face?"

It has been eight years since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne. In order to rest with the people, he did not even repair his own longevity palace mausoleum. Isn't this frugal enough?

The principle taught by the sages is that if the king is worried about the humiliation of his subjects, he will die if he humiliates his subjects.If he was really a loyal minister, he should cry and beg the Holy One to spend an extra five or six million taels to build the Shougong Mausoleum first, and he would have the nerve to advocate frugality.

It’s okay if you don’t praise the Holy One’s kindness and kindness to the people. Instead, you write a letter to sarcastically remonstrate.

It's really unlucky for the Holy One to end up with a bunch of sycophants like you. "

Geng Yu was scolded by his father, so he had no choice but to keep saying yes.

Geng Jiuchou added: "I am truly incorruptible and upright, but who doesn't love his son?

As long as it doesn't violate my loyalty, I have to make plans for your future.

Once the emperor becomes Yi Chu, you can go to Zhan Shifu and become an official of the East Palace.Serving the prince well will be of great benefit to your career in the future. "
