Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 331 The First Year of Jingtai Ends Safely
Even the emperor can't search his house endlessly.

Zhu Qiyu's house raids for his own fortune were always carried out around Wang Zhen and his followers.

Wang Zhen is a national traitor recognized by the ruling and opposition parties. Purging Wang Zhen's party is what everyone expects. There is no pressure from public opinion, and it will not cause panic among courtiers.

In addition to the censorship of Wang Zhen's party, there was also the great purge in Shanxi.However, all the proceeds from the house raids belonged to the imperial court, and Zhu Qiyu didn't take even a single penny from it.The people in Shanxi were charged with colluding with Wala, smuggling and betraying the country, and the ruling and opposition parties have nothing to say.

After copying Wang Zhen's last batch of remnants and getting three or four million taels of income, Zhu Qiyu stopped in time.

It is really disrespectful for a majestic emperor to always search his home.

This is also really forced to no other way, Zhu Qiyu transferred Jinhuayin to the household department.The biggest piece of domestic money, more than 100 million taels of golden flowers and silver every year, just disappeared.

Although the income has been greatly reduced, the army that needs to be supported by the internal funds has changed from the original Yumajian four guards with more than 10 people to Fengtian Dusi and Yumajian jointly managing three guards, close to [-] people.

So once the throne is stabilized a little bit, Zhu Qiyu is ready to study some profitable business.

Now the early Ming Dynasty is coming to an end, and it is about to enter the middle period of Ming Dynasty.There are only a few ways to get money: fields, tea, salt, horses, porcelain, cloth, and foreign trade.

Zhu Qiyu thought about it carefully, it seems that he only promised to return all the profits from the Western trade and Nanyang trade to the imperial court, and he did not make any promises on the profits from the Eastern trade.

If an interest group with Oriental trade as the core is built in Shandong, just like what Yuan Keli did in the Tianqi Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty, he can earn 200 million taels a year, supplemented by the farming of Japanese along the coast of Shandong.

In this way, not only can they subsidize their families, but they can also raise another [-] direct relatives in Shandong.

This has a successful experience. Yuan Keli, the real capable minister in the late Ming Dynasty, commanded the commander-in-chief Shen Yourong and Mao Wenlong, and played around with this trading system, and was able to maintain the siege of Houjin under the financial constraints of the imperial court.

If there is a Mingjun in power, he will succeed if he persists for ten more years.

It's just a pity that Mingjun is on the opposite side, and virtuous ministers are also on the opposite side. Under Huang Taiji's command, there is a great governor who conquers the south to fight against the gold and destroy the Ming Dynasty.

After Mao Wenlong's death, Yuan Keli's strategy finally collapsed, and it was fate.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu nodded vigorously, and said to himself: "The Supreme Emperor is right, when you choose Jinshi, you must choose someone who is imposing and dignified.

If you look at the long one, you will have a wretched temperament, so you must not want it. "

When the concubines heard the words, they cast inquiring glances one after another.

Zhu Qiyu quickly waved his hands: "I remembered what happened in the hall, and sighed a few words casually. You guys are busy, just come and accompany me to the hot spring."

Qianxue smiled and said: "We are too busy to settle accounts, you are wronged, just let Ningxiang stay with your husband alone."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, family matters are important, so you can be busy."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Qiyu took Ningxiang out.

……

For the remaining three months of the first year of Jingtai, nothing happened.

Every day Zhu Qiyu either took his concubines touring the mountains and rivers, or sorted out the proceeds from the confiscated house.The proceeds from home raids worth more than 400 million taels greatly enriched Zhu Qiyu's life.

With money and leisure, life will naturally be enjoyable.

During this period, Zhu Qiyu sent two groups of envoys to Oala.The first batch consisted of Li Xian and Li Shi, who had been responsible for this drudgery for many times, and the second batch consisted of larger-scale welcoming missions led by Yue Zheng and Chen Jian.

In a blink of an eye, it was the second year of Jingtai, the first day of the first month.

The Zhengdan Dynasty was held for the second time.

The Fengtian Temple has been burned down, and this court meeting must not be held in the Fengtian Temple.Zhu Qiyu couldn't bear the busyness of the ministers, and ran to the square of Prince Qi's mansion for the New Year's Eve to suffer from the cold.

So this court meeting was chosen in the Wenhua Palace.

Although the Wenhua Hall is a bit small, it can still be used for a hard squeeze.

This court meeting is limited to civil and military officials of the fourth rank and above.Of course, the fifth-rank cabinet masters are exceptions.

There were few officials participating, so Zhu Qiyu didn't insist on any etiquette rules. When people came, they could enter the Wenhua Palace first and wait.

So early in the morning, the Wenhua Palace was crowded with people.

The ministers also cherished this opportunity very much. After all, in the past year, most people had the opportunity to see the emperor only two or three times at most.

This is also the first time in a whole year that the emperor left Qi Wangfu in the western suburbs and returned to the capital.

While waiting for the emperor, the ministers gathered in groups to congratulate each other on the new year.

In the first year of Jingtai, except for some major events that shocked the government and the public at the beginning, everyone lived very relaxedly afterwards, so the ministers all showed joy and exchanged congratulatory messages, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Just at this time, Yang Shan, the imperial censor of Youqian Capital, stood up and poured a big ladle of cold water on everyone's heads.

Yang Shan's reasoning is very simple, the Supreme Emperor is alone at this time, suffering outside the Great Wall, everyone disregards the emperor and father, and everyone here is happy, how can this be done by a minister?
In Zhengdan last year, Yang Shan had already scolded all civil and military officials once, when he was still the right deputy capital censor.I scolded him again this year, but now Yang Shan has been demoted by one level, from the third rank to the right fourth rank Yushi of Youqian Capital.

Last year, the Supreme Emperor had everything around him, so at least he didn't suffer.This year, there is nothing beside the Supreme Emperor.All the maids, concubines, maids, and eunuchs were also sent back in advance.

Therefore, the anxiety in Yang Shan's heart was even greater than last year.

The reluctance of the boss in the hearts of the ministers is that if the Supreme Emperor does not come back for a day, everyone will not even have the right to celebrate the festival.But reluctance is reluctance, and everyone can't find a good reason to refute Yang Shan.

However, the ministers had no way to fight back against Yang Shan, but Zhu Qiyu did.

As soon as Zhu Qiyu entered the side hall, he heard Yang Shan yelling loudly there, so Dang even decided to give Yang Shan some flair.

If you are really a loyal minister, then go to Wala to serve the Supreme Emperor.

If you really traveled thousands of miles to Oala, then I really respect you very much.

Guanghui is here to talk empty words with benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust, pure and simple is disgusting.

Zhu Qiyu appeared in the main hall, when the county ministers saw the emperor coming out, they immediately lined up and knelt down to salute, shouting long live three times.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the dragon chair and said with a smile to the ministers: "On such a festive day, all the lovers don't need to be formal, get up quickly, sit down, sit down."

Today's court meeting is a bit long, and Zhu Qiyu has to explain the arrangements for the next year, so he has prepared seats for all the ministers.

Seeing that the emperor was determined to do so, everyone no longer continued to refuse.

Hearing that the emperor said that today is a happy day, Yang Shan was quite displeased. Just as he was about to stand up and refute the emperor, Zhu Qiyu took the lead and asked: "I ordered to rehabilitate the old officials of Jianwen, and Zhang Puke, a concubine of the Imperial Academy, is rehabilitated. list?"
