Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 376
It has to be said that Xuanzong and Sun Hou are really a match made in heaven.

These two people are more prodigal than the other.

In the absence of any promise, Sun sent out the eight chariots of rare treasures privately without discussing with any courtiers.

Zhu Qiyu was also puzzled, Xuanzong and the Sun family had no sense of ownership at all, as if Daming did not belong to his family, one desperately gave away treasures, the other desperately gave away land, without even blinking an eye.

Oops, I'm so sad.

It's no wonder that these two weirdos can cultivate an even weirder 'Daming God of War'.

After scolding Xuanzong and the Sun family in his heart, Zhu Qiyu replied to Yue Zheng: "You two are responsible for cooperating with the household department and counting the trophies confiscated from Oala.

You must be optimistic, and you can't let anyone enrich your own pockets.This is our reliance on tax exemption for the people of the world.

As for the treasures that the Empress Dowager dedicated to Grand Master Ye Xian, there is no need to say anything, and all of them will be confiscated.

Anyway, the empress dowager made the decision without authorization and gave it to Ye Xian in private.She didn't even have time to cover it up, and she certainly didn't dare to denounce it to the Ministry of Finance. "

Yue Zheng and Chen Jian accepted the order happily, since they are not greedy for money anyway, they are naturally happy to see that this wealth can be used to benefit the common people.

Zhu Qiyu asked again: "What is the approximate value of this batch of treasures?"

Yue Zheng shook his head: "I come from a humble background and have low knowledge, so I can't value the dazzling array of treasures. But according to the accompanying officials, if all these treasures are sold, the value of all the spoils should be between tens of millions of taels of silver. superior."

Hearing the words, Zhu Qiyu had some bad premonitions, and quickly asked: "All the trophies added together? Won't you bring back all the cattle and sheep?"

Yue Zheng saw that the emperor was so insightful, so he could only reply with an innocent face: "I don't want to be so wicked, it was Cao Guogong who ordered me to take back some of Yexian's cattle and sheep before leaving.

The Hexi Corridor is rich in water and grass, but after years of war, it is sparsely populated and the people are in poverty.

So Cao Guogong wanted to recruit more people.Those cattle and sheep, ministers and so on stayed in Ganzhou first, how to deal with it, please show me the holy majesty. "

Zhu Qiyu smiled helplessly and said: "You people are really a bone-sucking marrow. Hey, the general is outside, and the king's life will not be tolerated. I only hope that Cao Guogong can become the Li Mu of the Ming Dynasty. As for these small details, let him go."

The few people in front of me are Zhu Qiyu's confidantes, and they can joke around occasionally, but they are not too restrained.

Knowing the emperor's temperament, Yue Zheng just accepted the order with a smile, and retreated to his seat.

Next, it was time for Yue Zheng and Chen Jian to be promoted, after all, they couldn't let them travel thousands of miles back and forth for nothing.

Zhu Qiyu smiled at the two of them: "You are still young, it's not good to be promoted too fast. One is promoted to Zuo Chunfang, the left concubine, and the other is promoted to You Chunfang, the right concubine."

Yue Zheng and Chen Jian were overjoyed, and quickly knelt down to thank them.

Although the emperor said that it is not good to be promoted too fast, the two positions of Zuo Chunfang Zuo Shuzi and Youchunfang You Shuzi are both top five ranks, equal to Zuochunfang University Scholars, but they are not small at all. .

Moreover, after Huang Pu and He Yi were promoted again, the position of Master Chunfang University would fall to Yue Zheng and Chen Jian without accident.

Zhu Qiyu continued to say to Chen Jian: "Zhenming, when you were on tour in Guizhou, you wrote to the imperial court requesting that the Sichuan Bozhou Xuanwei Department be transferred to Guizhou.

Wang Zhen used this to make trouble and sent you to prison to die.

This place in Banzhou, if it is not handled well, disasters will surely happen in the future.

I think your proposal is correct, so I decided to adopt your proposal and formally transfer the Banzhou Xuanwei Division to Guizhou. "

Hearing this, Chen Jian hurriedly thanked him again.In this way, it means that Chen Jian has also been completely rehabilitated.

The next step is to practice the outline, Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Congdao, you just got a Jinshi, so it's not easy for me to arrange a high grade for you all at once.

The head of the Ministry of Rites is the sixth grade.Zuo Chunfang, Zuo Zhongyun, is the sixth rank.You take these two positions first.

As for the duties, besides handling government affairs for me, you are also in charge of the newly built Jiucheng Palace.

I will recruit a large number of well-educated people into Jiucheng Palace, and start compiling Jingtai Shilu.

It is also up to you young people to compile the memorandum, I don't need too many old pedants. "

Compilation of records?

Everyone is a little confused again, shouldn't the next emperor be responsible for writing after the emperor's death?

Knowing that everyone was puzzled, Zhu Qiyu quickly explained with a smile: "You don't have to understand it as the emperor's memorabilia you think.

The Jingtai Shilu that I want to compile will be released every five years, which is equivalent to recording the events of the past five years truthfully and telling the people all over the world.

Let all the subjects in the world know what I have done and what the court has done.

I don't hide it from you, this will also prevent someone from distorting the historical facts and deliberately smearing me after my death. "

Facing his confidant, Zhu Qiyu didn't hide it, and directly showed his card.

What Zhu Qiyu is most afraid of is that after his death, civil servants will write nonsense.

After all, words are very mysterious.Even if the order is slightly adjusted, the flavor may be completely different.

The most obvious example:
Repeatedly defeated.

Repeated defeats.

For the same four words, just changing the order of the words, the charm becomes completely different.

So Zhu Qiyu chose to do things while recording; while governing the country, he wrote history at the same time.

And with a cycle of five years, the memoirs will be published and circulated throughout the country and even overseas.

In this way, even after his death, the difficulty will be greatly increased if the civil servants want to confuse historical facts and smear indiscriminately.

Although my children and grandchildren may not allow civil officials to discredit themselves, it is better to guard against them.

In this world, some very mysterious things often happen.

If you are too conceited, you will be slapped in the face.

For example, Emperor Gao, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was so capable, was confused by Sima Qian and other historians, making it seem like Liu Bang was just a punk.

The most illusory thing is that the Han emperors directly acquiesced, and even added fuel to the flames, deliberately covering up Emperor Gao's brilliance and martial arts.

It may also be that Liu Bang's life was too inspirational. He rebelled in his 40s, but eventually became the emperor. As a result, his descendants dared not publicize it, for fear that others would be inspired and follow suit.

Afterwards, Xu Zheng and Huang Jian had to make arrangements.

Zhu Qiyu wants to take care of every cronies.

And I can't only have the level of Zhongshusheren around me.A distinction must be made between the new man and the old man.

Those who have made credit and hard work should be distinguished from the newcomers who have just come in; those with strong ability should also be distinguished from those with low ability.

So Zhu Qiyu said with a smile to everyone: "In the future, there will be more people here, and it will not be convenient to only set up Zhongshu Sheren.

I like retro, so how about we divide it into three levels: Zhongshu, Pingzhang, and Neishi?
I think Fengge Luantai is peaceful, I think it sounds nice, what do you think? "

On the basis of Wu Zetian, Zhu Qiyu slightly changed it according to his own preferences.
