Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 313 Drawing on the Fire at Tianshun Gongyuan, My Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions
The first year of Jingtai was the era when all kinds of "Zhuge Kongming" were popular, and the forces of each side liked to play with fire attack.

As for why Zhu Qiyu was sure that the Gongyuan would catch fire?
That's because the Gongyuan can really catch fire, and it can really burn people to death.

It is against common sense that the imperial physician 'prescribed the wrong medicine' to kill the emperor, and the Gongyuan 'accidentally caught fire' and burned the candidates to death. Many people felt that these things were impossible.

Moreover, people of later generations always like to use the experience of the Qing Dynasty to infer the historical facts of the Ming Dynasty, thinking that what could not happen in the Qing Dynasty, would not happen in the Ming Dynasty either.

However, my Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions.

The Gongyuan of the Ming Dynasty would catch fire as expected, and it was absolutely true that people would be burned to death. This is why we have to mention our great Tianshun Emperor Zhu Qizhen.

'Tianshun seven years in February Wuchen.

On that day, there was a strong wind, and there was a fire in the examination hall at night, and many people died. The Ministry of Rites heard about it the next day, and ordered the examination to be rescheduled for August. '

This is not unofficial history, this is "Ming Yingzong Veritable Records".

"In February Wuchen, there will be an examination of all the candidates in the world, and the fire will be made in the Gongyuan. The imperial censor Jiao Xian will block the gate and burn and kill more than [-] candidates. '--"History of Ming Dynasty".

Juren, that is a high-level scholar who already has the qualifications to be an official.

In the seventh year of Tianshun, there should be about 500 Juren who participated in the examination, and more than 90 people were burned to death.

Well, yes, the civil servants definitely didn't mean to.

Zhu Qizhen imprisoned officials such as Zhi Gongju and supervisors.

Then the operation of this great son of heaven is really amazing:
For these officials who supervised the examination, there was neither trial nor punishment.

This is the unique national condition of my Ming Dynasty. More than [-] candidates were burned to death, and no one was responsible for it.

Not to mention beheading and demoting officials, there is not even a single official who has been fined.

If this was left in the Qing Dynasty, the officials involved would have been beheaded more than 90 times.

But in Daming, magic realism is so vividly interpreted.

However, this is not the end, there is more magic behind:

The Ministry of Rites believed that the examination institute was narrow, which is why it suffered a fire, and asked to choose another place in the city to re-establish the examination institute.

Zhu Qizhen ordered the Ministry of Industry to discuss it.

Huo Xuan, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, Xue Yuan, the right servant, and others made suggestions and wrote a letter requesting that the Anrenfang Grassland be converted into a trial courtyard.

The answer given by Zhu Qizhen was: the examination court is still possible, but the household grassland should not be easily traded.

So Huo Xuan and others were ordered to report their crimes.

At the same time, Huo Xuan and Xue Yuan were good at impeaching Huo Xuan and Xue Yuan in six subjects.

In the end, Huo Xuan, Xue Yuan and their subordinate Lang Zhong and other officials were all imprisoned.

The reality is so magical. Those invigilators involved in the incident were released from the prison, and the officials were reinstated; the officials who proposed to relocate the Gongyuan to eliminate potential safety hazards went to prison instead.

For Zhu Qizhen's confusing operation, Zhu Qiyu was puzzled: Could it be that some indescribable emperor's mind was involved in it?Could it be that Zhu Qizhen is on the fifth floor of the Dao of Manipulation and I am only on the first floor?
That's more than 90 Juren died. If you don't kill any of them, will others still respect you as the emperor in the future?
The fact is that, less than a year after the fire, Zhu Qizhen received the four-piece set of the Great Heavenly Man: Shangbuyu, Shangbu Shichao, Shangdajian, and Shangbeng.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly, it was really difficult to be the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Hey, let's have fun in time.

Zhu Qiyu ordered the three concubines to lie side by side on the jade bed, and then did something indescribable.

……

The emperor was unrestrained in the room, but Wang Tong, Wang Cong, Zhao Juan, Shu Liang, Lu Gao, Lu Zhong, Wang Chun, Zhao Jing and others were guarding the armor factory on the south side of the Gongyuan to drink the northwest wind.

Everyone stared at each other, confused and helpless.

It was still Liu Jing and Menda of Jinyiwei who were more Buddhist, so they directly gave up this so-called opportunity to make meritorious service, and went home to sleep with their concubines in their arms.

Lu Gao, Lu Zhong, Wang Chun, and Zhao Jing were the more motivated ones in Jinyiwei, and they all came early, waiting to catch the thief and make meritorious service.

Before Zhu Qiyu issued an edict, the three eunuchs of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, and the three major eunuchs of the Yumajian can all enshrine the two family members as Jinyiwei's hundred households.

Today's oldest supervisor, Bingbi Wang Jin, chose his adopted son Wang Chun and his family Zhao Jing as the hundred households.

Chengshan Hou Wang Tong, with his son Wang Cong, and the two thousand disaster preparedness soldiers of Tian Cewei, are the main force fighting the fire today.

The four leaders of Jin Yiwei are the main force in catching the arsonists.

As the commander of Yingzhou Zhongwei, Zhao Juan supervised here on behalf of the emperor.

Shu Liang, as the supervisor of ceremonies and Bingbi, and the admiral of the East Factory, was responsible for the coordination.

Anyway, everyone is performing their duties, and they are waiting for the fire in the Gongyuan.

But among the people present, only Wang Chun and Lu Gao firmly believed in Zhu Qiyu. Since the emperor said that the Gongyuan would catch fire tonight, it would definitely catch fire.

The rest of the people were either dubious like Wang Tong, Zhao Juan, Shu Liang, and Lu Zhong, or just like Wang Cong and Zhao Jing, who simply thought that the emperor was dancing to a master.

The less people who have contact with Zhu Qiyu, the more they feel that Zhu Qiyu is dancing to a master.

While drinking strong tea to refresh themselves, everyone looked at each other in a daze.

Among these people, Shu Liang is the most popular and has the most contacts.So Zhao Jing had nothing to say, and took the lead in making trouble: "Mr. Du, do you think the Gongyuan is really going to catch fire tonight?"

Although Shu Liang himself was dubious about the fire in the Gongyuan, he definitely wanted to protect the authority of the emperor, so he replied with a smile:
"Your Majesty is a born sage, with Tianxian in his mouth, since he said that the Gongyuan will catch fire tonight, then it will definitely catch fire.

Brothers work harder tonight, His Majesty has ordered that half of the candidates must not be injured, let alone any arsonist.

Once the Gongyuan is on fire, all suspicious persons will be arrested immediately, and all of them will be thrown into Jinyiwei Prison first. "

Lu Gao replied: "Don't worry, Du Gong, the entire Mingshifang and all the streets are guarded by our spies. Once the fire breaks out, the entire Mingshifang will be completely blocked immediately, and not a single fly can fly out."

Lu Zhong also asked, "Governor, if the arsonist resists, what should he do?"

Shu Liang emphasized: "If you are alive, you must be alive. We have mobilized thousands of people, but we can't even keep a single one alive. The Holy One will definitely question our ability.

Let me tell the truth, brothers, don't blame me for speaking harshly.The Holy One had doubts about Jin Yiwei's ability, otherwise he would not have transferred a large number of Jin Yiwei out of Beijing.

If this errand does not go smoothly, and the patience of the Holy Majesty is completely worn out, the remaining brothers of our Jin Yiwei may inevitably be transferred away.

Your Majesty doesn't mind completely tearing down Jinyiwei and rebuilding it. "

When Lu Gao and Lu Zhong heard the words, their expressions turned serious.Both of them understood that the emperor was serious. Today, there are less than 3 Jinyiwei in Beijing, including six military craftsmen, Qianhusuo.

In fact, the official Jinyiwei is only in the early [-]s.

Wang Chun and Zhao Jing didn't care about the two hundred households at all. Even if the emperor completely overthrew Jin Yiwei and rebuilt it, it would not affect their positions.

Several people chatted for a while until late at night.

Just when everyone was getting confused, Wang Tong's personal soldiers rushed in and reported: "Master Hou, the Gongyuan is on fire."
