I am the king of the dead

"Are you awake?" Zhu Qiyu got up early, looked at Ran Siniang who woke up lazily, and talked with a smile. After he had breakfast, he became a faint king for a rare time. He didn't deal with the government affairs, but just After inspecting the military horses, he stayed in the big villa, read a book for a long time, and waited until Ran Siniang woke up.

Speaking of it, it was too difficult for Hu Wei to deal with. Since ancient times, the prince’s young teacher was the heir of the Pope. Hu Wei led the study and presided over the education of the emperor’s heir. It's really listening, Your Majesty loves books, but the poems have no rhythm and rarely write, but this painting is a masterpiece.

Reading is never a reason for people to turn bad, and scholars are also a very large group. Zhu Qiyu never likes people who overturn the whole boat with one shot.

"Husband?" Ran Siniang exclaimed, at this hour in the past, His Majesty had already left for work, and when Ran Siniang went to bed together, when she looked at the sky, she thought that His Majesty was not there, so she didn't take care of herself and got up.

Ran Siniang was sleepy soundly, but when she wakes up, her face is radiant, and yesterday's fatigue has been swept away.

Before Zhu Qiyu could take a closer look, Ran Siniang yelled strangely and disappeared without a trace. Not long after, Ran Siniang appeared in front of Zhu Qiyu after washing and dressing up.

"I'm an old husband and wife, there's no need, I can do whatever I want at home." Zhu Qiyu put away the scroll, looked at Ran Siniang and said.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is guilty, please forgive me." Ran Siniang first greeted the ceremony, and then pleaded guilty, her tone was quite serious.

Zhu Qiyu frowned involuntarily and said: "Is something wrong with Baibaodan? I am writing a book now, and the pigeons will fly to the camps of the two armies. It should be too late. You should have said it yesterday. It's already noon. , but in time."

"How could there be a mistake in Baibao Pill? The concubine at Miyun factory is watching in person, and the guards on this road are well-equipped. What the concubine said is that the concubine fell asleep last night." Ran Siniang hurriedly said why she pleaded guilty.

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a long time before he realized that it was a crime for the concubine to sleep before the emperor. He shook his head and said, "What kind of crime is this? Concubine Ran Ning is so tired from running around for state affairs, it's hard work, because I said, So I ran for nearly a hundred miles and took a rest earlier, what is the crime? Hurry up and forgive me, I was so frightened that our hearts twitched twice, thinking that something happened to Baibaodan."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Ran Siniang saw that His Majesty forgives her, so she got up.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu's bed-serving system has long been ruined by himself. The concubines don't go to bed early, which is one of the few remaining rules, and the concubines themselves abide by it, not the emperor's request.

According to the rules of the Ming court, when the concubine was sleeping, the emperor turned over the sign to record it, and then told the queen that the concubine would light up the lanterns in his palace, and the emperor usually left after finishing playing when he went to the concubine's house , Going back to the Qianqing Palace to sleep, Da Dang asked if he wanted it. If the emperor didn't want it, the eunuchs would have to toss the concubine again to prevent the concubine from becoming pregnant with a dragon seed.

Summer is fine, but in winter at twelve o'clock in the evening in Beijing, the cold wind is whistling like a knife, and the emperor has to go back to the Qianqing Palace from the warm quilt of his concubines.

It's really disrespectful for Ran Siniang to sleep with the emperor's head down like this, but Ran Siniang has just completed a big order of four thousand treasure pills from the emperor's waist, and works hard for state affairs. She is not only a concubine, but also a hero.

If Gao Jieyu served the bed, no matter how tired or sleepy she was, she would not dare to go to bed first.

"My lady, I have something to ask you. When you were in Bozhou, did you have a hard time? How about the common people? If the hundred thousand mountains are remote, what about the ground in Huguang?" Zhu Qiyu gestured to the soft rattan chair in front of him. , let Ran Siniang sit down and talk.

"Bitter." Ran Siniang bit her lip, gritted her back molars and said this word. Compared with her rich life today, the past life is no longer a bitter word.

Ran Siniang's face was full of pain, and she recalled it for a long time before she said: "Those days were like a dream, I was still a girl from the embroidery building, and the girl from the embroidery building was raised by the Yang family of Bozhou to marry the major chieftains. There is not much indebtedness for eating and dressing, and intrigue is inevitable, but it can be dealt with, but such a day is still very difficult. Every year, many girls in the building jump down from the embroidered building. "

"The local people in Bozhou are even more miserable. They don't have enough to eat, and they don't have enough clothes to cover their bodies. But whenever there is a disaster year, they just change their children and eat, and people eat each other."

"Huguang ground is not much different from Bozhou. Every year, many people with Huguang accent come to Bozhou and stay there. The people in Bozhou have chieftains on their heads, and the people in Huguang ground have yamen on their heads. Each suffers from his own sin."

Ran Siniang is not a good match, the Shura field in the embroidery building is like the jar for raising Gu, and Ran Siniang is the Gu king.

It's just that the Tai'an Palace is relatively peaceful because of the emperor. His Majesty rarely comes back for fights, and the fights make His Majesty hate the harem.

The harem is not very strong, naturally Ran Siniang doesn't have to show her teeth and claws, and uses all her abilities in medicine.

Zhu Qiyu asked one more thing: "Do you know that the Huguang Miao people entered the mountains during the orthodox years? Boiling soup, at least there were more than 30 people, but it was a big event back then."

"I know, there are more than 30 people." Ran Siniang hesitated, and then moved forward and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, there are no Miao people, they are all ordinary people. Miao, all of them have not registered their ownership, and those who run into the mountains are all registered under their ownership. They say they are Miao people, but they are just a fig leaf. Most of them are not Miao people. If they can live outside the mountains, such people, run What are you doing in the mountains?"

What Ran Siniang said is a bit suspicious of the harem's meddling in politics, but Ran Siniang is in charge of the imperial hospital. No matter how cheap this position is, it is also a place to serve the emperor. This Baibaodan's errands have been done, and it is not bad. up.

"We know it's a fig leaf. Nianfu has been in Huguang for nine years and has achieved remarkable results." Zhu Qiyu put down the book in his hand and said with a somewhat emotional tone.

To whom to cover up?It is a fig leaf to cover up and down the officials in Huguang, the face of the court and the emperor.

"Has anything happened in Huguang recently?" What Ran Siniang is most afraid of is that the people will be forced to rebel, and the war will be raging. The already stretched days are even worse.

Zhu Qiyu said with a full smile: "Huguang is like a big mountain before, Huguang is governed, and even the people in Zhejiang are running to Huguang. It's not that the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have come to us to complain, making noise, and every one of them is busy on weekdays. There is a record of the chief official of the frontier, and now he has been wronged, so he ran to us and let us uphold justice."

"Justice rests in the heart."

Ran Siniang breathed a sigh of relief, leaned lazily on the soft wicker chair, looked out of the window and said leisurely: "Isn't this pretty good? It's fair and easy, in the end, it's not like they can't be robbed. Wealth, if the people under the rule feel at ease, who would want to leave home thousands of miles away and seek far away?"

Zhu Qiyu picked out a few trivial matters in the court and talked about them, one was the price of food in Jiaozhi, the other was the complaint from the governors of these four provinces, and the third was Shang Ren's injury. something.

Ran Siniang understood and loved to listen. After listening for a long time, she said in doubt: "Is there such a shortage of people? It's so troublesome that the governors of the five provinces are tearing their faces apart?"

"Well, robbing people, you can't do it without robbing. Farming needs people, workshops need people, the court needs people, and dredging waterways needs people. Although the winter prelude has passed, the work-for-relief has remained. You need people everywhere, if you don't grab them, you can get people from anywhere." Zhu Qiyu nodded with certainty.

With the transformation from a small peasant economy to a commodity economy, the value of this person is changing from worthless to cattle and horses. If you don't let him live well, the people really vote with their feet.

The governor of Huguang is young and rich, and he is a very talented person. The richest governors of the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are not the opponents of young and rich, which can be seen.

Even in the original historical line, during the Tianshun years, Nianfu, as Yu Qian's henchman, still had a lot to do.

With Yu Qian's unjust end in the first year of Tianshun, as Yu Qian's henchman, Nianfu was also imprisoned, and he became a talent in the Ming Dynasty. Removal and release to relatives.

If Tianshun was not going well, in the next year, in the second year of Tianshun, Shandong was plagued by locusts, and millions of people suffered from natural disasters. Ming Yingzong pulled all the civil and military people from the Manchu Dynasty. There is nothing to do with Yu Qian's party members. If you don't put out the fire, and you get Ye Zongliu and Deng Maoqi, Ming Yingzong can't even keep the throne, so he uses Nianfu again.

Nianfu took office, and sure enough, he arranged the disaster-stricken people in an orderly manner. During the Tianshun period, Nianfu was a member of Yu Qian's party, and rose all the way. The thing is to complain to Yu Qian, to add trouble to Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong every day, and to pretend that if you don't kill me, I will scold you every day.

Ming Yingzong has no choice but to kill Nianfu is easy, what happens after he is killed?Who will take care of the household affairs?What if there is another catastrophe that spreads across several provinces and kills the firefighting captain?
It wasn't until Ming Xianzong succeeded to the throne and the young rich looked at Ming Xianzong that he died without regret.

Ran Siniang and Zhu Qiyu chatted for a long time, Ran Siniang loves to listen to books, and she can't bear to give up, every year is Chinese New Year, when Baiyi celebrates the New Year, Ran Siniang can only listen to a paragraph, and buy some scripts on weekdays.

"Is your husband leaving the court today to accompany his concubine?" Ran Siniang chatted until noon, when she came to her senses, she realized something was wrong, which was a great favor.

"We went to review the military horses in the morning, and we didn't do anything. You were still asleep when you came back." Zhu Qiyu explained, he still did things, but not much.

Stealing half a day's leisure in a floating life, who said that Zhu Qiyu doesn't know how to combine work and rest?
"Hanlin of the Imperial Academy, recently began to criticize us again, and the rhetoric is often new. This time, he called us Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. He was very happy, and his heart was too big. Going to the West." When Zhu Qiyu mentioned the Hanlin Academy, it was a big head, and the Hanlin Academy scolded people, it was a dirty word, but inside and outside the words, there were yin and yang strange accusations, and every sentence pierced the heart son's words.

Zhu Qiyu didn't understand, why did he get to the point of competing with Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang on the same stage? !
Not to mention anything else, during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizong Wen of the Ming Dynasty also traveled to the West while building official roads and post roads during the Northern Expedition. See what a big mess happened during the Yongle period.

Ran Siniang said with relief: "Isn't my husband just looking for scolding for keeping those Hanlins who only eat and don't work? The job that the Hanlins do is to inflict wounds, and that's their responsibility."

"It's true, it's all our fault, it's all our fault, the tone of your words is as preposterous as those of the Imperial Academy." Zhu Qiyu was talking nonchalantly, husband and wife gossip, how can there be so many rules of monarchs and ministers? Speech is just a small talk where you can say whatever you want.

Ran Siniang said with a smile on her face, "I'm a woman. Isn't it natural and right to force my words? The sage Confucius said it, only women and villains are difficult to raise."

"My lady, I understand what you said. You are a woman, and the Imperial Academy are villains, right?" Zhu Qiyu said cheerfully.

It was indeed the responsibility of the Imperial Academy to scold the emperor in the Ming Dynasty. To put it bluntly, it was to persuade the emperor to follow the right path when he was wounded. Some government orders were out of order and they needed them to speak out. To put it bluntly, they were to be trolls. , the more fierce the spray, the greater the reputation, and it is also a game between ministerial power and imperial power, Zhu Qiyu is more or less used to it.

But this time the Imperial Academy scolded him as Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. He disagreed very much. At least Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was repeatedly defeated in battles, while Zhu Qiyu relied on the bravery of the Ming Army to win repeated battles.

It is indeed the responsibility of the Imperial Academy to scold the emperor, but sometimes it is too forceful, and something goes wrong.

In the first month of the eighth year of Chenghua, Zhu Youji, the crown prince of Emperor Xianzong Zhu Jianshen of the Ming Dynasty, died of illness. The Imperial Academy used the death of the prince as an excuse to arrest Zhu Jianshen for spraying and using too much force. After Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, he simply stopped going to court , Until the 23rd year of Chenghua, Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty became ill from worry, and the dragon controlled the guest.

Ming Xianzong's failure to go to court is not the same as Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Wanli's failure to go to court. During the Jiajing and Wanli years, courtiers really did not see the emperor. The daily court meeting and the daily court meeting of Ming Xianzong were all there, but he didn't say a word. After the courtiers finished speaking, Wang Zhi and Liang Fang announced their withdrawal from the court, and then the ministers could only implement the decisions they made. , All inquiries and rebuttals are left in the middle.

"How does the husband plan to deal with the Imperial Academy talking like this?" Ran Siniang asked a little curiously.

Zhu Qiyu leaned on the back of the chair, thought for a moment and said: "What can we do, the more we talk to them, the more fierce they scold, just like the dogs on the side of the road, you can only let them bark, the army is triumphant, they Now all the cursing is a joke, the army is defeated, and the two sentences they scolded are not a big deal."

Zhu Qiyu did everything he could, and left the rest to the Ming army.

In the final analysis, the outcome of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Army was uncertain, people in the court were panicked, and Shang Ren was injured, so Zhu Qiyu looked more and more like Emperor Sui Yang. In fact, the courtiers are now very supportive of one thing, that is Take it when you see it.

The East Route Army Wuqing Hou Shiheng and Wen'an Hou Yuqian set up an ambush to kill more than [-] people from Oirat, and smashed Oirat's [-]-man team to pieces. The results are brilliant, even in the Yongle period. After all, Yongle had five Northern Expeditions, and the last three were armed parades, and they didn't even see the horse's tail of a prairie man.

Now that the Wala people have been hurt, there are many voices to negotiate on this, or to force the remnants of the Wala to move westward, so that the Ara Zhiyuan and Ye are the first to fight.

Zhu Qiyu has carefully thought about the idea of ​​accepting when he sees something good. He sneaked off today, but he was actually equating Qian's news. He sent a pigeon letter to Yu Qian yesterday to let the frontline generals speak. They are the ones who fight, and they are the ones who have the most say.

"Your Majesty, Yu Shaobao's letter has arrived." After lunch, while Zhu Qiyu and Ran Siniang were talking, Xing'an hurried in and put the sealed pigeon letter in front of Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu opened it and looked at it for a while and said: "Lady, we have to go to work. Half a day is free, only half a day."

"The concubine is not on duty today, so I will make some iced sour plum soup for Your Majesty to relieve the heat." Ran Siniang stood up, but the word "ice cold" had a heavy pronunciation, so Zhu Qiyu naturally understood it in seconds.

"Respectfully send off Your Majesty." Of course Ran Siniang wanted the emperor to continue to accompany her, but the emperor had to deal with state affairs, so she could only send him off respectfully.

Zhu Qiyu came to Juxian Pavilion, looked at Kanyu map and said to Xing'an: "Yu Shaobao and Wu Qinghou mean the same thing. They said that there is no turning back when you shoot the bow."

Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty didn’t pay attention to the matter, not that the courtiers didn’t even know where the emperor was. I know where the person is, and I know that I am in the palace, but the palace is so big.Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! !
