Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 384 Re-discussing the Miao Chaos
Wang Yue and Yu Zijun looked at each other, how to calm down the Miao chaos, this is an old problem.The first question of the policy theory of the meeting, which the emperor personally put out, was on the southwestern Miao chaos and the southeastern civil uprising.

The key point is that everyone answered and answered, but they couldn't give a solution that satisfied the emperor.

Some people talk about suppression, the Miao people will drill into the deep mountains and old forests at every turn, and then set up strongholds on the cliffs.Even if Han Xin came, he would have to eat village by village one by one.

Some talk about it, but it's all on paper.It involves several provinces such as Huguang, Guizhou, and Sichuan. No matter how well your imperial government formulates policies, those local officials will not be able to implement them at all.

Occasionally, one or two state capital officials are very capable, and the execution effect is not bad.But it is impossible that all the chief officials of the state capitals in these provinces are talented.

It is normal for local officials to mess around.

Moreover, most of the Han officials look condescending, and look down on the Miao people in their bones.Let them go to appease, the effect can be imagined.

For the emperor to ask such a question, it was deliberately making things difficult.

Yu Zijun could only bite the bullet and reply: "My minister thinks that the inner Great Wall should be built to completely enclose the young seedlings and separate them from the Han people and mature seedlings.

For the mature seedlings, Han and Miao live together, and strive to assimilate them.

Another thing is to practice benevolent government and reduce the oppression and exploitation of the Miao people.

Weichen dared to say something taboo, and many times, the Miao people were forced to have troubles.

For example, when the imperial court built palaces and mausoleums, it required Huguang, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places to harvest large trees all day long.

Those big trees were felled and mined from the deep mountains, and then they were moved out of the deep mountains by mobilizing troops, and transported thousands of miles to the capital and the palaces of various places. Many people were killed, disabled, and displaced.

After His Majesty ascended the throne, he issued an edict to stop the harvesting of wood. Countless people in the southwest praised the virtues and expressed their gratitude to God.

If these good governance, which is rare in the ages, can last for decades, I believe that the Jingtai Dynasty will not only rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, but also achieve a prosperous age comparable to Wenjing.

At that time, the seedlings were in chaos, and it was nothing to worry about if they didn't suppress Ziping. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words. Regardless of the effect of this strategy, at least it sounds impassioned and very encouraging.

Which emperor doesn't want to follow the rule of Wenjing?

After more than 500 years, the evaluation criteria for the emperor will reverse.Martial arts are admired more than martial arts.

Emperors like Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi have become models and benchmarks.

A Ming emperor like Emperor Han Wen waited for it.People like Tang Taizong Li Shimin who took Han Wendi as a model almost disappeared completely.

But today, or looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, Wenzhi is still more respected than martial arts.

Just grab someone on the street and ask, do you want to be Emperor Xiaowen or Emperor Xiaowu, the answer is self-evident.

Looking back at the previous dynasties, the same is true.

Even during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were strange things like Cao Pi embezzling his father's title of Emperor Wen.

But then again, building the Inner Great Wall to isolate the seedlings is really a way.In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, this kind of plan was really adopted.

Following this topic, it was extended to the military administration in the southeast, northwest, and northeast.

The emperor and his ministers had a very happy chat until noon, when Zhu Qiyu took everyone to dinner.

Between Jinghu Lake and Yuquan Mountain, to the north of Fengge, there is a small lake.Zhu Qiyu built four halls in the east, west, south, and north respectively on the four sides of the lake as banquet places, and invited famous chefs from all over the country with a lot of money.

Ministers who usually deal with government affairs in the government can have meals here.

Today Zhu Qiyu chose the South Hall as the venue for the banquet.

As soon as everyone entered the south hall, they saw four stunning women standing in the hall waiting for each other.

Huang Pu and He Yi both bowed and called their mothers.

Secondly, Gao Yao reacted the fastest, kneeling down and paying respects.

Lin Xiangyu hastily said humbly: "Tan Hualang please hurry up, you are the pillars of the country in the future, there is no need to do this kind of gift to us concubines."

The favored concubines were polite, but Gao Yao didn't dare to take it seriously, she just got up after performing the big ceremony properly.

Wang Yue and Yu Zijun did not expect that imperial concubines would appear at the banquet, and they were unwilling to kowtow to these concubines at first.

If Gao Yao hadn't insisted on saluting, Wang Yue and Yu Zijun had planned to follow Huang Pu and He Yi to bow and salute.

But after Gao Yao did this, the two couldn't get along.

After a little hesitation, the two reluctantly chose to kneel down.

Lin Xiangyu and the others hurriedly raised their hands to help, politely and courteously.

Zhu Qiyu saw the embarrassment of the two of them, and also spoke up: "Today is just a family banquet, and has nothing to do with state affairs. Everyone should be more casual, and there is no need to perform state rituals.

Come and come, all sit, all sit. "

The table is already full of food and wine, mainly southern cuisine.

Today, apart from Zhu Qiyu and Wang Yue, the rest, including the favorite concubines, are all southerners.

At a long table, Zhu Qiyu naturally took the main seat, and then on the left, Wang Yue, Yu Zijun, and Gao Yao sat in turn.On the right hand side, the four favored concubines, Huang Pu and He Yi were seated respectively.

In front of Zhu Qiyu and Wang Yue, northern dishes were served; in front of the rest, southern dishes were served, and the concubines took all these details into consideration.

For Wang Yue, Yu Zijun, and Gao Yao, Zhu Qiyu's family was extremely respectful.

As for why the favorite concubine was allowed to attend, it was also Zhu Qiyu's consideration of being prepared for danger in times of peace.

Although Zhu Qiyu doesn't advocate that the imperial concubine interfere in politics, what if one day he has a headache and can't handle government affairs.What should I do if I suddenly lie on the board?
Zhu Qizhen's lesson is still there: Xuanzong was rotten, but after Xuanzong's death, Zhu Qizhen was young, and the Sun family was almost as rotten as Xuanzong.

The two are dead compared to each other, no one can support Zhu Qizhen, and no one can teach Zhu Qizhen.As a result, Zhu Qizhen's emperor's mental skills were so poor that he was completely limped by the ministers, and finally got a lot of chicken feathers.

It is the most outrageous that Zhu Qizhen doesn't know anything about the extent of Shanxi's corruption and the extent of the corruption of the guards along the way.

Zhu Qizhen was captured in person, and Empress Qian couldn't handle things at all, let alone handling government affairs and stabilizing the overall situation, she just cried and limped.

So Zhu Qiyu's current strategy is that the favorite concubines don't usually have to do politics, but once they have something to do, the favorite concubines must have the ability to provoke the leader.

This sounds a bit contradictory, and it is true that you want the horse to run, but also want the horse not to eat grass.

The solution Zhu Qiyu gave was to let the concubines get in touch with their courtiers more, especially these new scholars, their own students.

At least you have to be familiar with each other. At the critical moment, everyone still has some friendship, which is better than not knowing each other at all.

This meal was enough for two hours.Qianxue and Suxi have always been cold and aloof in front of outsiders, and they are serious.

On the other hand, Lin Xiangyu, who is good at dancing with long sleeves and humorous, soon made the three scholars fall in love with him.

Although Ning Xiang was smiling, gentle and kind, she didn't talk too much, she was just in charge of pouring the wine, and it didn't take long before she snuggled up to Zhu Qiyu's side and began to act coquettishly.

The three of Wang Yue soon realized that the personalities of the concubines were very distinct, and they were easy to distinguish:

Concubine Yu and Concubine Xiang, twin sisters, look exactly alike, and act in the same way. Wang Yue and others suspect that the emperor himself may not be able to tell the difference clearly.This pair of sisters can be regarded as one, both have aloof and strong personalities.

Princess Qi is the most beautiful and kind to others, she is the most popular imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine who was attached to the emperor looked like a very pampered little woman, she didn't take care of common affairs, and didn't worry about leisure.

What surprised Wang Yue and others was that even ordinary scholars who were not in the court knew that the emperor's concubines must be intriguing and jealous.

But the scene in front of him once again exceeded everyone's perception.Even the most blind people can tell that these imperial concubines are as close as sisters, they don't mean to compete for favor, and they don't look like they are pretending to be harmonious.

The three new scholars, Zhuangyuanlang, Bangyanlang, and Tanhualang, have already had a preliminary understanding of the emperor: this majesty is so unique and different.
