Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 370 The interests of the monarch and his subjects reached an agreement
Zhu Qiyu went all the way to the door, and when he saw that no one was stopping him, he turned around and said: "Xingyi, after you have drawn up the decree, go to Mr. Cheng's house to deliver the decree in person."

After speaking, Zhu Qiyu hurried home.

All the ministers looked at He Yi with envy.

I have to admit that Zhu Qiyu really has nothing to say to his cronies.

When it was the turn to reprimand Yexian for such a "beautiful job", Zhu Qiyu would keenly avoid it for his cronies.When there is a real good job like passing on the decree to Cheng Jing, Zhu Qiyu will pave the way for his cronies as soon as possible.

To pass on the decree to Cheng Jing, and to gain favor for nothing.With Zhu Qiyu's special support, He Yi quickly accumulated contacts.

This set an example for the Jinshi of Xinke, so that most of them are eager to try, and also hope to be among the ranks of the emperor's cronies.

Ten years of hard work, selling goods to the emperor's house is the ideal of every Jinshi.

Just like the emperor himself said: the good wind sent me to Qingyun by force.

But these are all things to say later, Zhu Qiyu returned home, lay down on the bed, and never moved again.

Qianxue and Suxi sat next to Zhu Qiyu, one on the left and the other on the right. While undressing, they asked curiously: "What evil did the ministers do again? Why did your husband become like this when he went out?"

Zhu Qiyu raised his arm vigorously, made a gesture of victory, and explained with a smile: "Your husband broke through three levels in a row and succeeded in all of them.

It went smoothly, but it was a bit exhausting to fight wits and courage with the ministers. "

Hearing the words, Suxi gently parted her cherry lips and sucked them in.

Qianxue, on the other hand, looked adored and focused, listening to Zhu Qiyu showing off with a smile on her face.

Seeing that his women are so knowledgeable and interesting, Zhu Qiyu felt very comfortable, so he continued to brag: "I arranged for Mr. Cheng to be a doctor in the military department, and no one stood up to object.

It can be seen that my authority is already considerable.Moreover, the existing important ministers in the court are either my confidantes, or have temporarily attached to me. After that, the days will be much better.

After you sisters have finished giving birth to the child you are pregnant with, I can concentrate on reforming.

One more thing, I have formally identified Sanyang, and I have colluded with Sanyang for smuggling through the trial, and I can publicly convict Sanyang soon.

The ministers still have no objection. This is the second hurdle I have passed today.

The most important thing is that I appointed Nian Fu as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang to be responsible for the formation of the Fujian Navy and prepare for the voyage to the West. The ministers still did not object.

This is the most important hurdle I have passed today.

Unexpectedly, the ministers really adopted a tacit attitude towards restarting the voyages.

In the following few years, except for the extermination of Buddha and the abolition of empresses, there was no possibility of conflict between me and my group of trusted ministers. "

Women still pay more attention to the word 'abolished empress', Qianxue asked curiously: "Abandoned empress? Which empress does your husband want to abolish?"

Zhu Qiyu laughed and said, "Guess? There will be a reward for guessing right."

"My husband, what kind of reward will you give first?"

"Hey, you two talk for yourself."

"If I guess correctly, I will punish my husband to lick our feet."

Qianxue replied decisively without thinking.

Zhu Qiyu pointed at the two of them, and said with an angry smile: "Sooner or later, I will sell both of you."

Qianxue smiled narrowly, and asked tentatively, "Empress Qian? Impossible. Empress Zhou? Impossible too. Does your husband want to abolish Empress Dowager Sun?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded pretending to be surprised: "Little girl is so smart, have you seen all this?"

Qianxue made a proud face, and then continued to ask: "But in all dynasties, there have been very few emperors who abolished the queen mother. I am curious about how the husband will abolish the queen mother?"

Zhu Qiyu still said the same sentence: "The eunuch Cao Jixiang and Xing'an were instructed by the empress dowager, colluded internally and externally, and rebelled, intending to support and respectfully restore the emperor.

After the defeat, Cao Jixiang and Xing'an Lingchi, wiped out the three clans.

The empress dowager was deposed as a commoner, living in a secluded cold palace.Gong asked the emperor to confine his feet in the Nangong Palace and think about his mistakes behind closed doors. "

After talking and talking, Zhu Qiyu still insisted that Cao Jixiang would rebel.

To Zhu Qiyu's surprise, not only did Qianxue not smile, but she nodded with admiration.

It made Zhu Qiyu touch Qianxue's forehead quickly: "I don't have a fever, why didn't you laugh when I said there would be eunuchs rebelling?"

Qianxue replied: "As long as the husband doesn't take in new women, I will believe everything you say."

Zhu Qiyu nodded again and again, she is really a good woman.

Qianxue handed over the cherry lips with a smile, and Zhu Qiyu savored it carefully while thinking of her thoughts again.

Today's ministers, why have you adopted a default attitude towards the establishment of the Fujian Navy and the resumption of Western trade?

Although Zhu Qiyu had spoken through several times before, they were all talking about the mountains with red lips and white teeth.

Today, when it was time for the specific deployment, Zhu Qiyu was very surprised that none of the ministers stood up to oppose it.

Especially when Wang Ji, Chen Mao, Yu Qian, Jin Lian, Shi Pu and others were all present, the result was unexpected.

This is really worth thinking about. There are generally two possibilities: one is that the ministers really do not object, and the other is that the ministers are thinking about changing the emperor in a few years.

If the ministers believed that the emperor could be replaced within ten years, it would be indifferent whether they objected to the voyage.

There are several options for changing the emperor: support the restoration of Zhu Qizhen, support Zhu Jianshen, and support Zhu Qiyu's eldest son.

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Qiyu changed his mind: Maybe the ministers didn't have that much thought, and they just simply didn't object to the voyage.

In today's Daming, the most important asset is still the land.

These civil and military officials are still the landlord class in essence, and it is impossible for everyone to go to the seaside to smuggle.

So the ministers are most afraid of, one is the emperor's land reform, and the other is the emperor's rectification of officials.

And Zhu Qiyu has reached a tacit agreement with the ministers, one is not to carry out land reform, and the other is not to rectify the administration of officials.

So the emperor made a concession, and the ministers also reciprocated, acquiescing to the emperor's restart of Western trade.

Zhu Qiyu felt that his analysis made some sense. The logic of the ministers' behavior was probably like this: instead of opposing this and that, and finally forcing the emperor to jump over the wall to carry out land reform, it is better to let the emperor focus on collecting Jiaozhi and lowering the land. What about Western affairs?

The lesser of two evils.

Abandon his pawns and protect his chariot.

After thinking about it, Zhu Qiyu regained confidence in himself and his important officials.

Everyone just reached a consensus.

Zhu Qiyu really has no interest in land reform.

If you want to carry out land reform, you will have to work hard for most of your life, and you will be able to increase the income of the court by 1000 million taels a year.

If you have that spare time, you can go to the Nagami Silver Mine in Japan, the effect is the same, but the difficulty is more than ten times lower, and it can be loved by the people and praised by the officials.
