Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 439
Zhu Qizhen was a little confused. Not only did Wang Ji lead [-] Beijing elites to go south to Yunnan and Guizhou, but Yu Qian was also ordered to select elite soldiers from the Nanjing Jingying to guard Huguang and Sichuan.

At this juncture, the Miao people will rebel again?

For the Miao chaos, Zhu Qizhen was still very embarrassed.Whose responsibility is it that Wala sits big, there is still room for discussion.But the successive Miao chaos was purely caused by the three expeditions to Luchuan.

Just when Zhu Qizhen was struggling, Xing'an hurried in and reported: "My lord, Uncle Ning Yuan is asking to see you."

"Ningyuan Bo Renli?"

Zhu Qizhen relaxed his body and leaned against the back of the chair, feeling helpless.

In the 14th year of Zhengtong's battle with Wala, it was not just an attack on Shanxi.

At that time, Ning Yuanbo served as the general seal of Li Peiping and Qiang, and served as the deputy commander of the left to guard Gansu.He was defeated consecutively by Yexian's partial division, and nearly ten thousand soldiers died in battle.

Then Ren Li was transferred back to the capital and stayed at home all the time.

Zhu Qizhen feels ashamed when he thinks about it. Yexian, Ala, Tuotuobuhua, and Gansu's road, a total of four cavalry troops attacked at the same time. Da Ming didn't win even one road.

The key is how did such a powerful cavalry come from Wala?Xuanzong and Sanyang have a share, and the orthodox dynasty cannot escape the relationship.

Thinking that his younger brother was about to convict San Yang and Wang Zhen of smuggling Wala, Zhu Qizhen felt a splitting headache.

Once the charges are confirmed, a series of national policies of the Xuande and Zhengtong dynasties will inevitably be denied one after another.

Zhu Qizhen hesitated again and again, but still called Ren Li to meet him.It is also expected that Ren Li asked to take the crime and make meritorious service and lead the army to quell the Miao chaos.

……

Early the next morning, the obituary came out that Jin Lian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, died of illness.

It was almost noon, and Zhu Qiyu just got up to manage politics.

The first thing is to deal with Jin Lian's funeral.

Zhu Qiyu lamented the impermanence of life, and then told Suxi: "Let's draw up a decree, Jin Lian will add the crown prince Taibao, posthumously named Uncle Shuyang, and posthumously named Rongxiang."

"Uncle Shuyang, count?"

Su Xi confirmed curiously.

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "It's the earl, and he was awarded with military merit. It's just a reputation, and it can't be hereditary. Be generous and give it to him.

In recent years, Daming has become a mess everywhere.The ministers went out to supervise military affairs, admirals, and counselors at every turn.

It's been several years since I went out, weathering the wind and rain, enduring hardships and sufferings.

You were not generous when awarding rewards, who would want to go out and suffer this crime.

Forget it, change what I said just now, and allow Jin Lian's son to succeed Uncle Shuyang.

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.If the rewards are not harsh, can the ministers compete to work for the court?

Besides, Jin Lian is the emperor's important minister respected by the elder brother. I rewarded him greatly to send a signal to the government and the people. As long as he does things for the court with sincerity, no matter who is promoted, I will use it equally. "

After that, Zhu Qiyu continued to read the memorial, and then saw the memorial of Miao Luan in Guizhou, and couldn't help frowning.

This Miao chaos is really endless. It wasn't long after I pressed it, why did I rebel again.

Zhu Qiyu didn't speak, and continued to look down, only to see: Uncle Ningyuan wrote a letter requesting to be guilty and meritorious, and lead the army to quell the Miao chaos; The capital; at the same time, the Ministry of Rites brought up the old matter again, and had to build a mausoleum for himself.

The four favorite concubines were by the side, so they all saw it naturally.

Zhu Qiyu asked: "In another month, the Ministry of Rites will elect a queen, what do you think?"

There was no anger as imagined, but Ningxiang asked curiously: "Husband, after the queen is registered, will the servants need to kneel down when they see her?"

Zhu Qiyu scratched his head, and asked Lin Xiangyu curiously: "I really haven't paid much attention to it, does the imperial concubine need to kneel down to salute the queen?"

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, kneeling is fine. Don't care about the court's regulations, anyway, kneeling more is always right, after all, you don't want to hit someone with a smiling face.

As for the prince and concubine of the slave family, according to the court system, she must kneel down. "

Qianxue also smiled and said: "To be honest, among the people of our generation, except for our husband, we have never kneeled before anyone else. I don't know what it feels like to kneel at the feet of other women. I can't wait."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Okay, I will live with the Queen in the Phoenix Hall, and your sisters will live in the Hehuan Hall."

Su Xi teased after hearing the words: "Husband, it's time to get over it, the empress and empress still have to live in the resplendent Forbidden City and the Kunning Palace where the mother is honored all over the world.

Do you think everyone is like us silly slaves who are willing to accompany their husbands to practice Taoism in the mountains. "

"Okay, okay, you're right, then let's go back to live in the Forbidden City, I will live in the Kunning Palace with the Queen, and you will live in the East Sixth Palace."

The four favorite concubines smiled and replied together: "Shan, I respect the king's life."

Zhu Qiyu ordered helplessly: "Let's draw up an order. First, the governor of Henan, Huguang, Xiangyang and other prefectures, the left deputy capital censor Wang Lai, will be promoted to the right capital censor, governor of Huguang and Guizhou military affairs, and be responsible for commanding troops to suppress the rebellion.

Second, the Ministry of Rites draft regulations, but there is one more thing to add, women who participate in the draft must be voluntary, and no officials may force it.Moreover, during the draft process, special emphasis should be placed on voluntary participation, and any officials who dare to force women to participate will be beheaded.

Third, transfer [-] soldiers from the Beijing Battalion of Datong back to Beijing, with Ning Yuan Bo Renli as the admiral, the governor Tongzhi Mao Zhong as the deputy, and Cao Jixiang as the supervisor of the army, step up drills, and be ready to go to the south to support at any time.

Fourth, to emphasize again, I do not build mausoleums.In the future, civil and military officials will not be able to satisfy the emperor's own selfish desires, and regenerate the proposal of laboring the people and wasting money.

Fifth, ordered Wei Ji, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, to be appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Sixth, order the Sanju Department to conclude the case of Sanyang and Wang Zhen's illicit liaison with Wala, the case of Jin Ying's poisoning of the prince, and the case of Sanyang colluding with the inner court to conspire to abolish the queen.Three days later, it was officially announced to the world.

So be it, these few edicts alone are enough for the ruling and opposition parties to digest. "

When the four concubines heard this, they all smiled heartily.

Soon, the drafted edict was sent back to the cabinet.

Today's edict is very intriguing, and the people in the cabinet took the initiative to gather together to discuss it.

First of all, Wei Ji, as soon as the emperor's appointment arrived, he immediately left the ranks of several ministers of the Ministry of Rites and stood together with Wang Wen.

Wei Ji was just upright, but he wasn't an old-fashioned lack of heart. The facts are obvious: the people in the Ministry of Rites are all going to find their own way of death.

As for the rest of the Ministry of Rites, heh, the emperor's decisive killing and punishment has been verified many times.

But then the pressure on Wei Ji and Wang Wen was also great. The emperor demanded that the three major cases be concluded quickly, which was very difficult to handle.

As for the newly promoted Yushi Wanglai of Youdu, who was recommended by Yang Shiqi, he was overly respected. At first glance, it was the signal sent by the emperor to the government and the public: Sanyang is Sanyang, and has nothing to do with the ministers he recommended.As long as you haven't committed any crimes, feel free to continue working boldly, the emperor won't sit back and forth.

As for draft girls, the emperor specifically emphasized that women from all provinces must participate voluntarily, and no one should force them.What does it mean?Why do you want to emphasize it so seriously?
It was Wang Wen who figured it out first. What the emperor meant was: stupid women who want to reach the sky in one step and get rich and rich, I have dissuaded you very, very seriously.

The draft is risky, so you must be cautious when participating.

As a father, I have fulfilled my duty of being kind and caring for the people. If you insist on running for election, don’t blame me if you die.

Participating in a harem battle will definitely result in death.

If you don't listen to advice, you deserve to die.

After Wang Wen figured it out, he took the lead and ran back to the Ministry of Punishment on the grounds that the emperor was pressing too hard on the three major cases.Wei Ji followed suit and slipped away.

Chen Xun and Yu Shiyue were not satisfied, and wanted to discuss the specific selection process with other cabinet ministers.
