Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 434 Demolition of the Palace and Isolation of the Queen Mother
Once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.

Although it has been cleaned many times, the number of eunuchs and maids in the entire imperial city is still close to [-].

The roots of the factions are extremely complicated, and the loyalty of the eunuchs is just that.

So not only Zhu Qizhen was confused, but Zhu Qiyu himself gradually couldn't understand.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head, if you don't understand it, then you don't understand it, people can't be too persistent, you have to learn to reconcile with yourself, if you don't like to watch, then just don't watch.

Zhu Qiyu instructed Qianxue: "Let Chen Xiang be in charge of the internal prison for a while. Tell him that it's okay to demolish the old palace, but don't really rebuild the Renshou Palace.

Procrastinate as long as you can, anyway, the Empress Dowager Sun doesn't have many days left, so don't waste the hard-earned money of the common people anymore. "

Qianxue nodded and smiled: "Your husband is really bad, please let the emperor send Chen Xiang to ask for rare treasures from Empress Qian, and you send Chen Xiang to demolish the palace where Empress Qian lived, this will offend Empress Qian to death.

Chen Xiang provoked someone, and you two emperors abused him like this. "

"It's okay, it's okay, the emperor is not bad, and the eunuch doesn't love me, so I'll make it up to him later."

……

For the next two days, both the imperial palace and Prince Qi's mansion fell silent.

On the contrary, it was very lively in the capital, and there were many discussions in the streets and alleys.

The residents of the capital are more concerned about the court than the people in other places.Coupled with the recent news and rumors, they are all topical, so the enthusiasm of the people in the capital to discuss politics is unprecedentedly high.

Among the more voluptuous topics, there are obvious insinuations in "The Secret Record of the Demon Concubine", and there are rumors that the emperor respectfully made one dragon and two phoenixes, worked diligently in illness, and was taught and persuaded by the empress dowager.

There are also topics related to conspiracy. The queen mother's confidant eunuch Jin Ying designed to poison the prince with the intention of framing the emperor;

However, the above-board court policy abolished the judicial privileges of the vassal kings. From then on, the vassal kings broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, which aroused heated discussions.

What is most relevant to the common people is that the emperor made a clear decree to suppress Buddhism, banning all Buddhist temples in Xishan, and dismissing all monks.

The emperor, who had been gradually recognized by the people in the capital, regressed with an edict to suppress the Buddha.

The ethos in the capital is one of extravagance and comparison, and the other is advocating Buddhism.

It is difficult for most people to agree with an emperor who is hostile to Buddhism.

Early in the morning on May [-]th.

Chen Xiang, who was temporarily in charge of the internal supervisor, led a large number of craftsmen into the Forbidden City and began to demolish and clean up some palaces.

Thoroughly clean up the three main halls of the former dynasty, Qianqing Palace, Cining Palace, and Xian'an Palace that were destroyed by the fire.Remove all debris from the ruins.

In addition, the West Sixth Palace and Qin'an Hall were demolished, and various materials were used to rebuild Renshou Palace.

Of course, these are all pretexts. Zhu Qiyu's real purpose is to demolish all the palaces around Yinghua Palace, making Yinghua Palace completely an isolated island. In the future, this will be the lifelong prison of Queen Mother Sun.

The origin of this inspiration is that Emperor Jingtai in history imprisoned Zhu Qizhen, locked the gate of Nangong and filled it with lead, and removed all the trees inside and outside Nangong, so as to broaden the field of vision and facilitate monitoring.

As for demolishing more than half of the Forbidden City, how will they live in the future?Zhu Qiyu doesn't care about these, he won't come to live, and neither will his son.

As for my grandson, I can't control it.One generation governs one generation, and after a generation, people won't listen to me anymore.If he is stupid and insists on loving the Forbidden City to death like the previous Ming emperors, then I have no choice.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and when stupid descendants die, there will naturally be smart descendants who will continue to be emperors.

Today was sunny and sunny, Zhu Qiyu woke up early from the gentle village, before he was fully awake, he heard Lin Xiangyu whispering in his ear, bewitching him softly:

"Husband, shall we have an affair today?"

"Affair? Where to steal it?"

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "It's getting hotter and hotter, let's go to Qingliang Hall to play. Qingliang Hall is located in a small mountain depression on the west slope, with the shade behind it.

Moreover, the Wangqingliang spring in the back of the palace is ice and sweet. We brought out the spring water before and built a huge outdoor swimming pool.

Now I just go swimming to escape the heat, how about I dance in the swimming pool for my husband to see? "

Zhu Qiyu nodded repeatedly when he heard the words: "Okay, dancing in the water sounds wonderful. It seems that the concubine is going to seduce the king again. I will criticize it later."

Zhu Qiyu was easily abducted in this way.

As a result, when we arrived at Qingliang Temple, we found that it was not the same thing at all.The good princess changed her face in an instant.

The poor Emperor Jingtai spent the whole morning cleaning tables and sweeping the floor in Qingliang Hall.

Then he went to the stream to grill fish over a fire and served the princess for dinner.

Zhu Qiyu sat on a piece of bluestone, let Lin Xiangyu sit sideways on his lap, and while grilling fish, he hugged the little princess and laughed.

Zhu Qiyu laughed at himself: "I asked Chen Xiang to demolish all the palaces around Empress Dowager Sun, and as a result, today he was cleaning the palaces in the Forbidden City, and I was cleaning the palaces here too.

Chen Xiang is not the worst, because he only needs to direct from the sidelines.I was worse than him. I was ordered and had to work myself. "

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "My husband really doesn't intend to cut through the mess quickly and deal with Queen Mother Sun directly?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Some people will make a fuss and ask me to kill the Queen Mother and Zhu Qizhen's line quickly, can I listen to their irresponsible fooling around.

It's very easy to kill them, and then what?How to deal with the aftermath?What do people in the world think?How do history books write?
Even if I don't care, what about our son, can he be happy when he becomes the emperor in the future?
I want to pass on to him a stable and thriving empire, not a mess full of hidden dangers. "

Speaking of this, Zhu Qiyu took a sip of milk angrily, and continued to explain: "You see, Emperor Taizong is not very powerful, but he killed Emperor Jianwen cleanly, and then, is he happy?

Didn't he live in the shadow of Jianwen all his life, worrying about his reputation as a traitor and traitor all his life.

In the second half of his life, for his martial arts and martial arts, in order to win legal orthodoxy, Taizong fought everywhere, and finally died violently in Yumuchuan, but he failed to die peacefully at home.

Isn't this all for the betterment of future generations?

You look at the battle for the throne in the Taizong dynasty as if the dust has settled, but in fact there are still huge hidden dangers that make our emperors helpless. "

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said, "Husband is talking about the vassal king?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Hey, Emperor Taizong rebelled against his superiors. After he became emperor, what he feared most was that other vassal kings would follow suit and play the role of the Qing emperor.

Therefore, the suzerainty system of the Ming Dynasty was completely destroyed. The court guarded against the vassal kings like thieves; the court raised the princes like pigs.

In this way, the vassal king would not be able to play the role of defending the emperor, but would instead impose a huge burden on the court.

It is not obvious now, and within a few generations, it will be hard to return.At that time, the emperor will have no vassals to rely on, and civil servants will become bigger and begin to have the ability to fight against the emperor.

And those vassal kings, in the fish and meat village, disregarded human life, invaded good land, and accumulated huge wealth.

In the end, the imperial court had no money, and the poor could not survive; the people had no money, and the poor could not survive.

Only the fat and oily princes are left.

So the biggest problem I face as emperor is to carry out a thorough suzerainty reform.

I want to cut off the unreasonable privileges of suzerains and vassals first, and then let go of the restrictions on suzerains and vassals and let them come out to serve the country. "

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "Your husband, aren't you afraid of appearing on the side of the feudal lord Qing?"

Zhu Qiyu replied indifferently: "Think about it, from the beginning of the Han Dynasty, in the unified dynasty, the vassal king successfully rebelled with a corner of the land, such as Taizong.

How could our Daming be so unlucky, can there be another case?

Taking another [-] steps back, it really came to the end of the dynasty, the imperial court was extremely weak, and was successfully rebelled by the vassal king.

If he succeeds, he will succeed, it is better than letting Da Ming fall into the hands of foreign races.Just like the Great Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty is gone, but there are still clans that stand up to establish the Eastern Han Dynasty and realize the prosperity of China.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was also a Han Dynasty, and the Emperor Gao was also regarded as the Taizu, and the Emperor Xiaowen was also regarded as the Taizong.

So, just think about everything.We try our best to pave the way for our children and grandchildren, do our best and obey the destiny.The latter, look at their own good fortune. "

Lin Xiangyu nodded: "The concubine understands, the husband is not in a hurry to get rid of the Sun's lineage, but repeatedly drags and pulls, the fundamental reason is to be able to carry out a thorough dispute between the son and the concubine.

In this way, the legal system of the Sun family will be completely eliminated, and a world without disputes will be left to the descendants in the future. "
