Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 146 Recruiting the Second Minister of the Ministry of War, the New Lord Releases the Jianshu

Seeing that the emperor doesn't need a penny, but only the titles of twelve imperial concubines, how can the ministers refuse to agree.

Although the emperor came to a monogamy and fifteen wives, it was a bit too absurd.But the emperor is an emperor after all, and it is understandable that there are more daughters-in-law than ordinary people.

The most important thing is that the emperor gave the ministers a lot of money.The salaries of the ministers have tripled, which means that the emperor will spend at least three or four million taels more each year.

What the emperor wanted in return was just the positions of twelve imperial concubines, and the court didn't need to spend a penny to support them. The emperor's request was too humble, and the business done by the ministers was too cost-effective.So only the brain-dead would oppose the emperor's request.

Moreover, the three important ministers who are not the emperor's cronies, Hu Wei, Wang Zhi, and Yu Qian, have all been sent by the emperor to the Oala Camp to report to the Supreme Emperor.Among the remaining people, Chen Xun and Wang Wen followed the new emperor closely; Shang Ren, Peng Shi, Zhou Chen and others were not qualified and powerful enough to fight against the emperor for the time being.

Zhu Qiyu saw that there were no people who were against him, so he drank a sip of tea happily, and felt that the emperor was much more comfortable, so he added: "Just do what you say, I am not lying. I asked you to repair it in Changsha, including Chen. The three Prince's mansions, including the Prince's Mansion, do not need to be repaired by the imperial court, and the inner court is responsible instead.

After the repair is completed, the court will no longer need to take care of the affairs of the king of Yi.

However, the cabinet needs to draw up an edict to confer the concubine Hang, the side concubine of the King of Yi, as the concubine of the King of Yi, following the example of the Empress Yisheng and the Empress Dowager, and sitting on an equal footing with the Wang family. "

Chen Xun took the decree without even thinking about it. It would cost 10,000+ taels to repair the three princely mansions. Now the emperor has saved 10,000+ taels for the treasury with one sentence. I don't want to.

As for a special status, but obviously unfavored Palace of Prince Tan, there are several concubines, and the ministers are too lazy to get involved.Wouldn't it be nice to receive three times the salary in a down-to-earth manner, and what to do if you have nothing to do with the emperor's bad luck.

But at this time Zhou Chen, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and asked a lot: "I have the courage to ask Your Majesty, we know the purpose of the Jianyi Prince's Mansion, but who are the other two Prince's Mansions for?"

Although Zhou Chen, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is not responsible for the construction of the three palaces, but he is still very curious and wants to know.

Zhu Qiyu replied with a smile: "The cabinet drafted an order to release Jianshu and Wu Shuren's whole family immediately. After the war is over, Jianshu will be crowned as county king, and Wu Shuren's son will be crowned as county king. All the courtesy and treatment will be equal to that of a prince. Uncle Xiang is a dignified and virtuous man. His name spread far and wide, and I asked him to help take care of King Yi and the two common people."

When the ministers heard the words, they looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to say.

Zhu Qiyu then continued: "Especially Jianshu, this poor Uncle Wang, who has been imprisoned without seeing the sun for decades, my heart hurts every day when I think about it.

Decades have passed, from Emperor Taizong to Zhen are the fourth generation, any enmity or grievance should be eliminated.

The most chilling thing is the indifference of some ministers.For example, our Dazong uncle is still a Jinshi of the Jianwen Dynasty. After so many years, he can't plead for the old master and speak out a word or two.

As the minister of the Ministry of Rites, even if it is only his duty, just to show the royal family's friendship, he should strive for some preferential treatment for the common people.

As a minister, he is so indifferent, hey, it is really shocking and frightening. "

After all, Zhu Qiyu sighed and shook his head again and again.

Anyway, Zhu Qiyu knew that there was an irreconcilable conflict between himself and Hu Yan, so he just bury him in public if he had nothing to do.

But most of the time, it is limited to Hu Wei.Even for Wang Zhi, Zhu Qiyu has a respect.After all, Wang Zhi died from the beginning and never served as a second minister. He used to be loyal to Xuanzong, but now he is loyal to Xuanzong's son Zhu Qizhen.Although Zhu Qiyu and Wang Zhi also have irreconcilable conflicts, they are their own masters and have nothing to say.

Although fighting back and forth on weekdays, Zhu Qiyu and Wang Zhi have no personal grievances or prejudices.

Zhu Qiyu sighed there, and the ministers searched their minds there, but after searching through the cases of this dynasty and the previous dynasty, they couldn't think of any objection to the new king's decision to treat Jianshu people favorably.

In the end, the ministers just let it go, and no one objected.After all, what the ministers are most worried about now is that after the Supreme Emperor is welcomed back in the future, the two Supreme Emperors will not be able to live in harmony, and they are even more afraid that the new emperor will treat the Supreme Emperor harshly.

So now that the new monarch wants to talk about feelings and friendship, the ministers feel that not only can they not object, but they should also encourage and support the new monarch, and let the new monarch maintain this advantage.

At this point, the court meeting has entered the previous rhythm again. As long as the edict of the new king is passed smoothly, the subsequent edicts will continue to pass smoothly.

So Zhu Qiyu issued another appointment: "Now the three ministers Hu, Wang, and Yu will not be able to come back for a while, but the government cannot delay.

How about this, Xiang Wenyao, the right servant of the Ministry of War, was promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, and temporarily presided over the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of War added a servant, Luo Tong, who was promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of War, and was temporarily responsible for the defense of Juyongguan, Xifengkou, and Xuanfu.

Jiang Yuan, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, was transferred to the right servant of the Ministry of War, and Jiang Yuan temporarily presided over the affairs of the Ministry of War. "

Tuqiong found out that this is what Zhu Qiyu really wants to do today.

Enduring until today, Zhu Qiyu finally couldn't restrain himself anymore, and he still wanted to replace the two servants of the Ministry of War with his own people.

Xiang Wenyao is Yu Qian's confidant, but Yu Qian refuses to be loyal to the new king. Zhu Qiyu's willingness to let Yu Qian be the minister of the Ministry of War is considered very good. If even the servant of the Ministry of War is Yu Qian's person, then this is unacceptable.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head, he couldn't control the Ministry of War, he couldn't sleep well by himself, and there was a limit to the emperor's patience with the ministers.

Give Jiang Yuan the position of the right servant of the Ministry of War, and Jiang Yuan will be grateful to the new king.

Let Xiang Wenyao continue to stay in the position of the right servant of the Ministry of War, will he be grateful to the new king?No, he would only be grateful to Yu Qian.

There is also another confidant of Yu Qian, Sun Xiang, who flew directly from the military department of the seventh rank to the right deputy capital censor of the third rank. You must know that the minister of the Ministry of War is also the third rank.

Sun Xiang was the one who really broke Zhu Qiyu's mentality, and the new king couldn't stand it anymore, so once Zhu Qiyu initially established his prestige, he immediately attacked the Ministry of War.

Sure enough, as Zhu Qiyu expected, Jiang Yuan stood below. After hearing the new king's edict, he was stunned at first, and then he knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again after hearing the new king's edict. Although he was not grateful, he burst into tears , but not too much.

The art of balancing the court, hit a stick and give a jujube to eat.After installing the two ministers of the Ministry of War, Zhu Qiyu announced the reward for Qian.
