Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 188
Feeling that this was not strong enough, Zhu Qiyu asked the concubines again: "Do you know what will happen to your concubines if I die?"

Ning Xiang immediately replied: "I know that I am going to guard the imperial mausoleum, and spend the rest of my life with the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, just like a living dead."

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "You have a good idea, and you still want to guard the imperial tomb. Tell you the truth, if one can't escape, all of them will have to be buried."

"Hasn't the sacrificial burial been abolished by your husband?"

"Haha, only when I was alive was the abolition of burial. I'm already dead, so it's natural for people to leave the tea, and who would care about me."

Ning Xiang pouted her neck and replied: "It's better to die than to be a living dead, trapped in a high wall like a walking corpse."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile when he heard the words: "You little girl, you are stupid and silly, but you are quite cute. But do you know how humiliating the process of burial is?
You have to bathe and clean yourself naked under the watchful eye of the eunuch.Then just lie naked on the stone slab like this, four eunuchs hold down your limbs, and the other two eunuchs strangle you to death with white silk.

As for why you are made to lie on the slate, it is because after the white silk strangles you, you will become incontinent, so it is easier to clean it with the slate.

So your body is very dirty after being strangled, and the eunuch has to clean every inch of your skin inside and out.

As for whether the eunuchs will force you to do some perverted things before and after your death, I don't know. "

Hearing several favored concubines waving their hands repeatedly, Ning Xiang expressed her loyalty on behalf of the sisters: "Don't worry, my husband. We will taste everything your husband eats and drinks first. Even if I die, I will definitely not let you eat." Others hurt your husband."

The other favorite concubines also nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the effect was achieved, Zhu Qiyu stopped threatening his beloved concubines, but waved and smiled: "Come, come, come to the bed, let the widows comfort and comfort the concubines."

Zhu Qiyu was having fun in the backyard, but Lin Xiangyu looked at Jin Ying in a daze in the front hall.

It's no wonder that Lin Xiangyu was confused. As soon as Jin Ying came up, she proposed to hand over the management of internal funds.

After being stunned for a while, Lin Xiangyu ordered helplessly: "Isn't the queen in charge of the internal money? If you have anything to do, go to the queen and tell me. What's the use of talking to me?"

Jin Ying emphasized again: "Qi Wangfei, this is the empress dowager's confession."

Seeing that Jin Ying used the empress dowager to suppress her, Lin Xiangyu sneered and said, "Then you can tell the emperor, I am a little concubine, I am not in charge of these matters."

Jin Ying replied: "The old slave is now begging to see the emperor, and ask the concubine for permission."

"At the court meeting, you can meet as a courtier. The emperor is now exchanging life with his favorite concubines. It is impossible for him to meet strangers at this time.

Our new emperor is different from your orthodox emperor.The eunuch can look at the body of the concubine in the palace at will.But in Prince Qi's Mansion, all the favorite concubines of the new king are forbidden, even if they are eunuchs, they don't want to see half of them. "

"Then when will there be a court meeting?"

"do not know."

Lin Xiangyu got annoyed, picked up her teacup, and signaled Jin Ying to leave quickly.

Jin Ying sighed in her heart, although the princess in front of her was her enemy, and even though she was the chief eunuch of the inner court, she had to bow her head under the eaves.

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, by coincidence, it really started to rain lightly.

The sky was gloomy, but the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion was still lively, and it was still crowded with people who came to receive rewards.

Now even Zhu Qiyu himself was a little curious. Sitting on the soft couch in the West Flower Hall, he asked He Yi and Huang Pu, who had come to the city to report on their duties: "Is there such a thing as easy to cut off the head of this person who does not accept it at night? Why are there so many people coming to receive the reward?"

He Yi shook his head with a smile, and did not answer specific questions, but just teased: "With this speed of receiving rewards, I don't know how many days His Majesty's warehouse can last?"

Zhu Qiyu was also happy to cooperate, so he counted with his fingers: "One head costs 100 taels, and there are still 5000 people. If they are all hacked to death, I will give you a reward of 450 million taels." silver.

There are more than 20 taels of gold and 80 taels of silver in the mansion; there are 120 million taels of silver in deposit for donations from Jietianlou auction.The concubine made a bet in the Sun family's casino, and she could win back one or two million taels.

It's almost capable, but it's a little bit reluctant anyway.Oops, the emperor is still too poor if he can't mobilize internal funds.

And I can't just reward others with my money. The Qi Palace I live in is still temporary. Once the Oirat army retreats, I have to spend 200 million taels of silver to build a new Qi Palace. "

"One or two million taels of silver to build a palace?"

Huang Pu was a little taken aback by this, for a normal Prince's Mansion, the cost of three to four hundred thousand taels is already very extravagant.

Zhu Qiyu explained with a smile: "The mansion I want to build is completely different from the ordinary prince's mansion. It is not so much a mansion as it is an unprecedentedly huge landscape garden."

Zhu Qiyu wanted to give an example to make his statement easier to understand.But after thinking about it, forget it again.I can't say that I want to build a collection of Mingyuan, Summer Palace and Jingmingyuan in Daqingyuan.

So Zhu Qiyu added: "Generally, for the emperor of Ming Dynasty, it costs four to five million taels of silver to build an imperial mausoleum. I will not build an imperial mausoleum. I will only spend one or two million taels to build a garden for me and my fifteen Living with a beloved concubine, isn't this too much?

And I don't use money from the imperial court, nor from the inner court, so I just spend the money I get from copying the eunuchs.

To exempt the people from taxes for a year, to increase the salaries of civil and military officials, and to abolish the Ming Dynasty's banknotes, these three major things that Jingtai will do in the first year of the year require a lot of money.I won't spend money from the imperial court, I can save a little bit. "

He Yi smiled and said: "I understand that your Majesty wants to copy the eunuch's house for his own use, and copy the Shanxi house for the imperial court."

Zhu Qiyu praised: "Succinct and concise, to the point, Xingyi, you have figured me out. Then tell me, in Shanxi now, not only Yang Hong does not listen to me, but also the two imperial envoys Wang Zhi and Yu Qian who sent me. Great listen to me.

How can this family copy the law to collect the money? "

He Yi shook his head and kicked the ball to Huang Pu.

Huang Pu replied: "I am willing to go to Shanxi for your majesty."

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu immediately waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, you can't go to Shanxi. I know that Chengji's political talents are second to none among the younger generation, but I can't bear to let you go to Shanxi.

You don't know how dark the gang in Shanxi is. After getting anxious, they really dared to let the imperial envoy and governor die for no reason.

Some people die as soon as they die, and I don't feel bad.But you are all my core advisers, and I cannot let you risk your life. "
