I am the king of the dead

The commander of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division of the Ming Dynasty who was impeached by Ke Qian was the official of Xili Tusi. The reason why Zhu Qiyu wanted to ask Shi Heng about his attitude was because Li Wen belonged to Shi Heng.

When Shi Heng himself was a guard in Datong Mansion, he had a wide network of contacts. From the Shaanxi Xingdusi at the westernmost end of Ming Dynasty to Ryukyu at the easternmost end of Ming Dynasty, there were friends of Shi Heng.

Of course, the friends in the court are not even wine and meat friends.

Shi Heng's attitude was very strange, which was tantamount to directly declaring that he had given up on Li Wen.

With civil officials impeaching and Wu Xun giving up, Li Wen's downfall is inevitable.

The reason is very simple. Li Wen, the chieftain of Xili, blocked the way, not only the way of civil servants, but also the way of military generals to make contributions, and even the way of the emperor.

As the official of the chieftain, Li Wen had a very close relationship with other chieftains in the region. It was inevitable that he would conflict with the imperial court on certain interests. However, Li Wen could only choose the chieftain in the choice of the distribution of these interests.

Now that Daming wants to change the capital of Shaanxi to Gansu, these chieftains will bear the brunt of it, and they will definitely oppose it. Once the restructuring is successful, Daming's control over the local area will be greatly strengthened.

Zhu Qiyu was silent for a while and said: "Let Li Wen go back to Beijing to report on his work. If he is willing to come back, he will serve as an official and stay in Beijing for the elderly. Give him the Gaoyang Uncle Mansion and build it according to the system of the Marquis Mansion."

Zhu Qiyu chose to give Li Wen a face. When he dealt with the government, he was partial to the military officer. This is called leniency in the government.

As the emperor, Zhu Qiyu not only had punishments that were not punishments, but also the grace of forgiveness. The reason why he was so partial was related to the previous Xingwen Liaowu.

Take this matter of Li Wen being impeached for raising bandits and self-respect. Back then when the culture was flourishing and the military was lacking, the bandits knocked on the side, and Li Wen couldn't easily wield knives and guns.

This time the Hami Kingdom saw that Ming Dynasty had been fighting every step of the way in the Western Regions, raising troops to invade, Li Wen chose not to fight, Li Wen's inertial thinking.

Zhu Qiyu gave Li Wen a chance. If Li Wen still has a heart of obedience, he should go to Beijing to report on his duties, meet the emperor, and then stay in the capital to be his uncle Gao Yang. serve.

If he refused to return to Beijing and insisted on doing something with the local chieftain, Zhu Qiyu had no other choice, the choice was in Li Wen's hands.

Zhu Qiyu's decision made the courtiers a little helpless. Your Majesty is still the same Majesty, who has prejudice against civil servants and favors generals.

For example, recently His Majesty exiled a highly respected lecturer to Yongning Temple because of his personal virtues. Compared with Li Wen and Li Wen, it can only be said that thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king.

The court discussion ended in Li Wen's case, and Zhu Qiyu went to the martial arts hall again. Today's martial arts hall is decorated with lights and festoons everywhere. When I got up in the morning, someone was cleaning the courtyard, tidying up the inside and outside, and seeing every fallen leaf less than.

Because from today onwards, the prince will attend the lecture hall and become a student in the lecture hall.

When Zhu Qiyu came to the lecture hall, he saw the eldest prince Chong Wang Zhu Jianji and Ji Wang Zhu Jianshen. They had already entered school, they were waiting for the prince to come, and then took the prince to visit the entire lecture hall and visited the lecture hall. Wutang's sacrificial wine and others.

...

A prince is a prince, and a prince is a minister to a king, but a prince is a king to everyone else, and the two are princes and ministers, even if they are elder brothers, they have to wait.

Standing behind Zhu Jianji and Zhu Jianshen is Zhu Yu, a tall and taciturn adopted son.

Even though Zhu Qiyu didn't like ostentation when the prince entered school, Queen Wang had tried her best to make the ritual department less ostentatious, but it was still very grand, and even Empress Dowager Wu, who lived reclusively in Tai'an Palace, came to the lecture hall to see the prince's entrance ceremony.

Empress Dowager Wu is the biological mother of King You, Zhu Qiyu. After King You ascended the throne, the mother became empress dowager based on her son, but Empress Wu is different from Empress Sun. Hand it over to Queen Wang.

The courtiers usually don't see Empress Dowager Wu in public, except during the New Year and festivals, they can only see one side.

The reason why Empress Dowager Wu lived in seclusion was mainly because she was worried that she would cause trouble for her son. After all, Empress Dowager Wu was born as a sinful family member of the Han Dynasty.

There are also rumors in the capital that King You
Zhu Qiyu is not the son of Emperor Xuande of the late Emperor, but a descendant of the Han commoners in the Hanwangfu. It was the late emperor who had the virtue of good life and left a trace of blood in the Hanwangfu.

This rumor has its nose and eyes, the time, place and people are clear, and there are even details such as blood books and tokens.

This rumor was widely spread when Zhu Qiyu was not enthroned and was Youwang. After Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the rumor has developed into conclusive evidence and a well-known anecdote.

Zhu Qiyu didn't bother to pay attention to such rumors. Empress Dowager Wu herself was a little afraid of things, so she didn't dare to say a word, for fear that the description would become darker.

On the other hand, another empress dowager, Empress Dowager Sun who lives in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, heard such rumors and sent a rare message to the Ministry of Rites, asking the Ministry of Rites and the Wucheng Bingma Si to thoroughly investigate the source of such rumors and prohibit them from spreading.

But the truth of the secret, the more it is forbidden, the more people believe it. Hu Wei even went to the palace to tell the Queen Mother about it. In the end, the Queen Mother could only let the rumors spread.

The reason why Empress Dowager Sun was in a hurry was that if Zhu Qiyu's father was the legacy of the Han Palace, then according to the succession law of the Ming Dynasty, King Xiang was the first heir after King Jili was captured, so it is no wonder that Empress Dowager Sun was not in a hurry.

In the hands of King Xiang, there is no life in this King Ji's mansion.

But fortunately, Bo Liang's benevolent Zhu Qiyu, the throne is more secure than Mount Tai.

Today is the day when her grandson goes to school, Empress Dowager Wu also came out from Tai'an Palace to send her children to the lecture hall. Empress Dowager Sun, who lives in the palace of Cining Palace, naturally also came to the lecture hall.

After all, according to the rules, the Empress Dowager Sun is considered to be her first grandmother, so she will naturally have to come forward.

Empress Dowager Sun was actually also worried about whether Zhu Qiyu would abolish her title, or even confine her, and pour iron into her palace gate of Compassionate Ning Palace, etc. These speculations are like a joke, she obviously thinks too much, as long as she doesn't Appearing, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have forgotten her existence, and the Compassionate Ning Palace remained the same as before, and could even communicate with the outside of the palace.

Zhu Qiyu greeted Empress Dowager Wu, and then he talked to Zhu Jianji and Zhu Jianshen. He looked at Zhu Yu, who was strong and strong, and after a few words of advice, he walked into the Juxian Pavilion and let the Ministry of Rites arrange for the prince to enter the school. Things.

...

It wasn't until noon that Empress Wang brought Zhu Jiancheng to the Imperial Study Room of Juxian Pavilion and met Zhu Qiyu, the head of the martial arts hall.

"Greetings to the head of the mountain." Zhu Jiancheng performed the disciple's salute first, and Zhu Qiyu waved his hand to signal him to flatten himself.

"The child is going to school, and my husband will be free in this Juxian Pavilion." Queen Wang has been busy all morning, this etiquette is the most tormenting, but this is the first time the crown prince sees the courtiers, so naturally they have to be considerate.

Zhu Qiyu held up a lot of maps in his hand and said, "Jingxuanchi Road is about to be built, and Yu Shaobao handed over a lot of memorials. Am I busy?"

Jingxuan Chidao was the first Chidao in Ming Dynasty, and it was very important. Even if it was handed over to Yu Qian, Zhu Qiyu often supervised and checked the news, instead of just throwing his hands away and becoming the shopkeeper.

"National affairs come first, and state affairs come first." Queen Wang sat on a chair and hammered her sore arm, and said helplessly, "Gao Jieyu cried when she saw me these days, saying that she couldn't see His Majesty, so His Majesty the child I went to hug her twice, and never went again."

At least Gao Jieyu has a daughter. Since ancient times, in this high wall, many concubines have seen the emperor once or twice in their lifetime, let alone princes and princesses, there is no one to talk to.

It's just that Tai'an Palace is different from the past. In the past, a certain concubine was the only one to win the holy favor. In Tai'an Palace, His Majesty is busy with state affairs, not to mention Gao Jieyu. When she is busy, Queen Wang can't see Her Majesty for a whole month.

"Today the prince enters the school, the old Hanlins of the Hanlin Academy have green faces, and there are even a few Hanlin who have written letters. The prince should study in the Wenhua Pavilion instead of coming to the Lecture Hall." Zhu Qiyu took it A few memorials, laughing and talking about Zhu Jiancheng's enrollment.

Zhu Jiancheng entered the lecture hall instead of going to the Hanlin Academy to find lecturers. From now on, it will be a group of warriors who will train the crown prince, so what will the prince he cultivated look like?
"Young master Hu is the young master of the prince, and Wang Zhi is also the young master of the prince. They are teaching the prince. They are also young masters Hu and Wang. What does it have to do with their gang of Hanlin and lecturers?" Queen Wang said angrily.

Some old Hanlin people in the Imperial Academy hated His Majesty in state affairs, and Queen Wang on the issue of the prince's education.

Before, Wang Zhi gave lectures to the prince in Wenhua Pavilion
Sometimes, they will bring lecturers. If Shang Ren comes, it’s okay. Shang Ren is a gentleman, he talks about the rules, and never gossips with the concubines. If other people come, this group of eloquent Hanlin often coaxes the palace maids Straight music.

It's fine to just chat a few words, the key is that these Hanlin flirted with these maidservants, and they were found out by Xing'an, and Empress Wang drove the maid involved out of Tai'an Palace.

Or to say that this is the most ruthless scholar, at this time of teasing, the Hanlin, who is sworn to each other, immediately became a heartless man after this maid came out of the palace.

The greatest value of a maid is that she is a maid of Tai'an Palace. Without this status, the ruthlessness of this scholar is immediately revealed.

After Zhu Qiyu learned of this, he forbade Wang Zhi from bringing lecturers except Shang Ren into Tai'an Palace. As for the heartless Hanlin, Zhu Qiyu arranged to go to Yongning Temple at the mouth of Heilongjiang to repair the monument.

Back then, Wang Zhi had some complaints about the emperor living in Tai'an Palace, so he remonstrated a few times. Zhu Qiyu directly asked Wang Zhi if he was so curious, how many bowls of rice did he eat?
...

This heartbreaking remark almost made Wang Zhi an official.

The lines Zhu Qiyu drew back then were clear and clear, and his lines were not flexible at all. Since he knew he wanted to bury nails in Tai'an Palace, it's no wonder he was able to forgive him lightly.

"Zhu Yu's kid is a war-fighter. He doesn't talk too much. The last time Yuan Bin returned to Beijing, he even said that he would be accepted as an apprentice. It's a pity that Yuan Bin couldn't come back in Japan for a short time." Zhu Qiyu talked about it. This adopted son, Zhu Yu, is a taciturn, but extremely fierce child, and Zhu Yu is very talented in military affairs.

Zhu Qiyu felt that when a child talked about military talent, it was just a matter of talking on paper. Wouldn't it be ridiculous if Zhao Kuo came out?
Therefore, few people in the martial arts hall talked about Zhu Yu's military talent.

"This child has been raised as long as he has been raised, and he is reluctant to leave in the future." Queen Wang leaned on the back of the chair. After Zhu Yu became a man, she would definitely change her surname back. This child has been raised for a long time, and that is herself child.

"Let's see what he thinks." Zhu Qiyu still gave the right to choose to Zhu Yu himself. When he became a adult, he could choose by himself, just like Zhu Yuanzhang let Mu Ying choose by himself.

Empress Wang signaled Zhu Jiancheng to go to class, then sat up straight, and asked solemnly: "My husband, there have been a lot of rumors in the capital recently, and it's about your life experience, don't you want to deal with it?"

"Don't bother with it." Zhu Qiyu said quite confidently: "I don't care, and no one really cares."

Since Zhu Qiyu killed King Jili in the Taimiao, no matter how he judged his throne, it was usurped, and King Cheng was humble and not usurped.

This fact can't be changed, he can't stop the rumors of the capital.

His current throne is as solid as gold, and the rumors can go with him.

Zhu Qiyu could not care about these rumors, but Shang Ren, a scholar of Zuochunfang University who studied history, couldn't care less. He came to Hu Wei's small attic again, just to ask Hu Wei how to record this period of history.

"Some rumors and rumors, you also come to me, you don't need to revise this memorandum." Hu Wei said angrily, Shang Ren asked this question, it seemed stupid, it is rumored that it is a rumor, as a great scholar of the dynasty, Dare to ask, isn't it courting death?

Shang Ren also knew that his question was stupid, but he still said, "According to the Annotation of Zhongshu Sheren's Daily Life, Empress Dowager Wu was called to Yeting to serve the late Emperor in the 16th year of Yongle. But there is a discrepancy. In another A note on daily life during the Xuande period records that the Empress Dowager Wu entered the palace in the second year of Xuande's reign."

Shang Ren didn't finish his sentence. If Xuande entered the palace in the second year, then His Majesty Xuande was born in the third year. The chances of being the legacy of the Han Palace will increase a lot. The truth is scratching Shang Ren's heart like a cat's paw.

"I also found witnesses." Shang Renyu was not surprised, he said with confidence, "It was Chen Fu, the eunuch in the Xuande period, and the Empress Dowager Wu and His Majesty lived in Chen Fu's house from the third year to the tenth year , the palace was built in Xuande ten years ago."

Shang Renhaoxuan didn't say a word, before his death, the late emperor regretted killing the entire family of the King of Han's Mansion, and in his guilt, he recognized the legacy of the King of Han's Mansion as his own child.

This is the only reasonable reason for Shang Lu to rule out all the impossible and leave an impossible truth.

...

"Later generations are just guessing." Seeing Shang Ren's seriousness, Hu Wei shook his head and said, "I also heard the rumors.
Well, the first emperor never regretted killing all the families of King Han's Mansion. You haven't experienced it, so you don't know the danger back then, which is completely different from the situation in King Ji's Mansion today. "

"Your Majesty is so merciful that the courtiers are a little immature now."

"Your Majesty is too merciful." Shang Ren asked with staring eyes. How did Hu Wei say such a shameless thing? How many major cases did His Majesty handle and how many people were beheaded in the ten years since he became the throne?
The Xieyuanyuan is still open!
Hu Yan sneered and said, "The Hanlin in the Imperial Academy who wanted to bury nails in Tai'an Palace, His Majesty just exiled him, not punished him. What is this not benevolence?"

"If this was during the Yongle period, what would happen to the aides who buried nails in the Prince's Mansion in the King's Mansion of Han? Exile? A big dream at three o'clock in the afternoon!"

"All of them belong to the Yi tribe. Most of them don't even have a name left."

"I'll show you the Record of King Jili you compiled, and you don't need to write it in the record. Back then, the King of Han's mansion was full of clans. This is the list of the staff of the King of Han's mansion. These people were all killed by the barbarians. "

Hu Yi opened his small box, showed Shang Ren the list, and put it back in the box.

Hu Wei continued: "What regrets? Regret what? It's life and death for usurping the heir."

"Using the love of children to guess the dangers of political struggles is the right of the common people."

"As a senior scholar of the imperial court and a bachelor of commerce, you also use the love of your children to guess, not only you, but also many courtiers use the love of your children to guess. It's not because your majesty is too kind and protects you too well. ?"

"Calling Your Majesty the king of subjugation, whenever you change it, it will be a dead end, the kind of dead end that will wipe out your family."

"It was only during the Jingtai period that these gossip officials were able to do so openly. Just like this, these people don't appreciate the grace of the saints at all, and they have no respect for them."

Hu Wei became a Jinshi during the Jianwen period. Over the years, if you ask what era is the easiest to be an official, Hu Wei's answer is the Jingtai period.

Because from the Jianwen period to the Zhengtong period, due to various problems in the transfer of power at the top and the harsh political environment, when you become an official, you face a lot of standing in line. If there is a slight mistake, the whole family, young and old, will die together.

Even the bureaucracy, the ruling class, lives in fear. Under such high pressure, no one has an easy life.

"This... this..." Shang Ren was a little slip of the tongue for a while, and he felt that what Hu Min said made sense for a while!
He could go to the well-known flatterer Hu Wei and ask His Majesty such questions as his life experience, because in Shang Ren's subconscious, even if His Majesty knew it, he would just laugh it off and not care at all, so He will come to find out the truth.

It seems, it seems, it is possible, maybe, the present is the most relaxed political environment since the founding of Ming Dynasty.

Hu Wei shook his head and said with emotion: "Your Majesty is a good man."
