Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 292

Zhu Huakui, king of Chu, was dragged out. He didn't have time to pay attention to the cobwebs on his hair, so he leaned over and looked at Zhu Youxiao feebly.

"Take him down, escort him to Beijing, and hand him over to the Ministry of Punishment, according to the regulations." After Zhu Youxiao said, he asked again: "Where is Miss Wei?"

"It has been handed over to Qin Botong." After Fu Dahai replied, Zhu Youxiao nodded after hearing this, and said: "This time, the king of Chu Zhu Huakui conspired, and most officials in Huguang were coerced. He can be released to restore local order. At the same time, all the family members of Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, were escorted to Beijing. The Department of Authorities arranged for him to live independently, and the older men could be sent to the Department of Ordnance or the affiliated training of the Royal Industrial Company. In addition, young people, both male and female, are encouraged to enroll in school, and the Ministry of Rites chooses a site to set up a Royal Academy, invites famous teachers to teach them, and they can also go to the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Academy of Sciences for further study. , Naturally, you can also join the Imperial Guard, but you must pass a strict political review."

Zhu Youxiao's purpose is very simple, he is to lock these nobles into the capital, and give them a living skill led by the court, so as to reduce the amount of social resources they possess and create wealth for the society .

Not only Chu Huakui's lineage, but all the county kings and auxiliary country generals have to be locked up and taken to Beijing. At the same time, other vassal kings implicated in the Chu King Zhu Huakui's rebellion case are also directly locked up. into Beijing.

But taking these vassal kings into Beijing does not mean keeping them locked up like pets. It is no different from keeping these vassal kings in fiefdoms. Instead, the imperial court needs to train them and create wealth for them. Opportunity.

However, these training and employment costs are nothing compared to the fields taken back from these vassals. Zhu Youxiao doesn’t mind giving them such a high salary, but he does not allow these vassals to plunder Daming’s resources. Thus destroying the ruling foundation of Ming Dynasty.

Let these vassals use their generous salaries, sufficient time and unique talents to choose the direction of research according to their own interests, and become everyone on the one hand, and thus contribute to society, even if it costs the treasury. It's also worth it, and you might even make a fortune out of it.

Zhu Youxiao temporarily turned the Chu Palace into a residence. He came to Huguang this time not only because of the rebellion of Chu King Zhu Huakui and Wei Miner, but also because he wanted to reshape the pragmatic atmosphere of the officialdom, so he decided to come to Huguang. It is not only Zhang Juzheng, but also Qi Jiguang who mentioned the matter of Zhang Juzheng in the Wanli period and tried to restore Zhang Juzheng's honor.

When Zhu Youxiao learned that the one who captured Zuo Liangyu and wiped out Zuo Liangyu's more than 100 elite riders was Qi Changguo, a thousand households named Yiyangsuo, Wang Chengen hurriedly came over and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this Qi Changguo was the son of Qi Shaobao back then. Because of Zhang Ge's failure, he was copied. Therefore, this Qi Changguo was also relegated to this Yiyang place to be a thousand households. The people captured Zuo Liangyu."

When Zhu Youxiao heard Wang Chengen say that he was Qi Jiguang's son, he was naturally a little excited. He is now in need of a descendant of a meritorious official so that he can formally propose to re-seal them in front of all officials.

Zhu Youxiao proposed to meet Qi Changguo in person on the grounds that Qi Changguo made great contributions to capturing Zuo Liangyu alive.

……

Wei Min'er, her little niece and personal maids are being detained by Qin Botong on a warship with heavy soldiers. Wei Min'er hates the feeling of being locked up like a prisoner, so she glared at the guards outside and shouted: "What the hell are you doing?" How can you let me go?"

Wei Min'er was still wearing red makeup at this time, the rouge on her face was still there, adding a bit of pure beauty, but her anger was still on her face. She knew that all this was arranged by His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao, but therefore, Instead, she showed her emotions more brazenly, without any fear of the majestic guards in front of her.

"Miss Wei, don't worry. Although His Majesty has made it clear that you came to Wuchang Mansion because you were kidnapped by Zhu Huakui, for safety's sake, we can only let you temporarily stay on the boat after we rescue you. It depends on your Majesty's intention to let you leave here." After Qin Botong said, he rubbed his temples with a headache. This kind of person is also the most difficult for him to serve. He immediately withdrew his place after expressing his intentions. of the boathouse.

Wei Min'er snorted, and she was also a little flustered, afraid that after seeing Zhu Youxiao, she didn't know how to deal with it. Would this emperor, who had never tolerated sand in his eyes, choose to come with the King of Chu because he betrayed him? Zhu Youxiao held a grudge against him because he almost married the King of Chu now, and he was punished, even died.

But at the same time, because of Zhu Youxiao's delay in coming, Wei Min'er could not be sure what the Emperor Zhu Youxiao really thought, which made her feel even more irritable and anxious.

Therefore, Wei Min'er hysterically smashed the porcelain in the house on the wooden boards, and even smashed the window glass, in order to attract the attention of the imperial guards, and finally Zhu Youxiao's attention.

"Report to the commander, that Miss Wei is smashing things again, and even tearing the sheets and pillowcases frantically. Tell me, is she crazy?"

A soldier who was obliged to observe Wei Miner's movements came to report the matter to Tan Botong, who immediately scolded his mother and shouted: "It's just a few bed sheets, what's the big deal, the porcelain is smashed, and the glass is also smashed, we What else can I do, bear with it! Let’s talk about it when His Majesty comes down!”

The soldier had no choice but to retreat resentfully, but at this moment, he happened to meet Zhu Youxiao head-on, and couldn't help asking: "How did you get in, and who brought you in?"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Commander Qin asked me to come."

"Commander Qin, can you call Commander Qin, do you know the rules?" Before the soldier could finish speaking, Zhu Youxiao slapped him across the face.

There was only a slap, and before the soldier could react, Zhu Youxiao pointed at the soldier and cursed: "I will let you know what rules are."

Seeing this, Qin Botong and Wei Min'er knew that it was Zhu Youxiao who had come, but Wei Min'er calmed down because of this, but she was still in a state of confusion, not knowing where to put her hands, and started from the beginning.

Wei Min'er was very worried that the emperor named Zhu Youxiao would hate himself for repeatedly refusing to be his woman because he agreed to Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, but now he agreed to a vassal king, and a vassal king who actually wanted to start a riot.

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't come in to see Wei Miner, after slapping the soldier, he just took a few glances at Wei Miner's direction and walked in another direction.

This made Wei Min'er a little disappointed, maybe she didn't take herself seriously at all.
