Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 506
Shen Yi immediately assured with full confidence: "The money and food accumulated by the household department, after deducting the regular expenses for this year and next two years, can deal with tax reduction and exemption, as well as a big war, there is still no problem.

But counting the construction of naval divisions, the construction of sea-going ships, the lifting of the sea ban, and the resumption of Western trade, the Ministry of Households is still a bit overwhelmed. "

Zhu Qiyu smiled slightly, didn't she just want me to express my opinion in public and pay for it, Shen Yi, you iron cock.

But I like it, the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting should be searched and searched. If you really get a minister of the Ministry of Accounting who spends a lot of money, it will be scary.

So Zhu Qiyu promised: "Jingtai's first three years were the hardest and most difficult three years. All the things about spending money were concentrated during this time.

But the benefits of reform will not be seen for a while.

Just feel wronged, dear friends, and I will suffer together for a few years. As for the construction of the Navy and the cost of building the fleet, it will be borne by internal funds.

When the Western trade makes money, I don't want a penny, and all the profits go to the imperial court. "

When everyone heard the words, they all knelt down and shouted the Son of Heaven, Shengming.

Zhu Qiyu nodded with a smile, and exchanged the promise of paying tens of millions of taels of silver in exchange for the emperor's sage.

Fortunately, at this moment, the emperor's sage mentioned by the ministers is sincere. He spent his own money to restart Western trade, but all the profits went to the court. Such a stupid emperor is hard to find even with a lantern.

It is very easy for the ministers to come across one, and they must be cherished.

After looking at the carrier warehouse, Zhu Qiyu led the ministers to transfer stolen goods and fine warehouse, Guangying warehouse, and then came to Wuzi warehouse.

Weapons such as knives, guns, bows and arrows, and armor stored in the Wuzi library.

The ministers were not very interested in weapons, so they looked at them hastily.Zhu Qiyu turned around and asked the eunuch in charge of the library: "These are all ordinary weapons. Are there any magical weapons stored in the Wuzi library?"

Zhu Qiyu just asked casually, but unexpectedly the little eunuch replied: "To the emperor, there is also a small warehouse cut off inside to store sharp weapons made by skilled craftsmen.

Among them, there are many famous swords. Although those swords cut iron like mud, they are not suitable for fighting on the battlefield, so they are all stored in the warehouse and occasionally used as rewards. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Lead the way ahead, I'll take a look and pick one or two good ones to reward."

The little eunuch hurriedly led the way ahead and led everyone into the warehouse.

Under the introduction of the little eunuch, Zhu Qiyu looked closely at each sword.

The little eunuch finally got this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he naturally tried his best to show off, and even acted like blowing his hair and breaking his hair.

It was not easy for Zhu Qiyu to win over the little eunuch's heart, and he lingered for more than half an hour.

The ministers couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking, and it was enough to enjoy watching a few swords, why bother to go on and on, and put on a posture that they had to read all the swords once.

But Zhu Qiyu admired the little eunuch beside him more and more, but he was just a little eunuch guarding the warehouse, and he was able to tell the origin of these swords clearly and logically, which showed that he had put in a lot of hard work.

So Zhu Qiyu asked: "What's your name, and whose name is it?"

The little eunuch replied: "The slave girl Yan Li was castrated and sent to the palace because of her family's burden during the first Luchuan battle.

At that time, Luchuan's rebellion was very hated, so no one was willing to take the slave under his name, so the slave was sent to watch the warehouse for ten years in the Wuzi library.

In this mutiny, the inner court was purged, and the servants were blessed because they had no family or sect. Not only were they not implicated, but they were promoted to the small internal officials in charge of the Wuzi library. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and asked again: "In two or three years, Luchuan will also become the territory directly under the Ming Dynasty, do you want to return to your hometown by then?
You have told me so much today, and I can reward you with freedom and let you return to your hometown. "

Yan Li knelt down and replied: "Thank you for the grace of the emperor, but the slaves and maids have no family, and there is no home to return to. Besides, the slaves and maids have no skills. When they leave the imperial city, eunuchs are not welcome everywhere, let alone have no way to survive. gone."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and ordered Yan Li to continue introducing the sword in the library to him.

After another quarter of an hour, when the ministers were impatient with waiting, Zhu Qiyu finally enjoyed himself and ended the sword appreciation.

Zhu Qiyu deliberately wasted time, just wanting to go to Ciqing Palace to visit the prince in a hurry.

After the prince had dinner, he went over by himself, said a few words and left.This way, you can just go through the process and save endless nagging.

Just when Zhu Qiyu turned around and took a few steps, he suddenly glanced at a jade sword box in the corner, on the front of the sword box were engraved four characters: Autumn Water Brightness.

Zhu Qiyu was overjoyed, the crowd looked for her thousands of times, suddenly looking back, that person was in a dimly lit place.

Yan Li had great eyesight, originally the emperor didn't pick the sword he wanted, and he felt very upset and annoyed.Unexpectedly, at the last moment, a sword finally entered the emperor's eyes.

Yan Li quickly went over to pick up the sword box and placed it on the table.

Zhu Qiyu opened the sword case carefully, and saw a pair of precious swords inside.

Zhu Qiyu held the Qiushui sword, slowly pulled it out, and then faced the blowing hair and broken hair, the cold air of Sanju Qingfeng, and fell into deep thought.

According to the legend, these two swords were the ones who accompanied Da Ming Zi to the end.

On the day the city of Beijing was broken, Chongzhen took this sword and killed the princess and concubines, and then went to hang Meishan to death.

After seeing Nurhachi's fifth ancestor Dong Shan today, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Qiyu asked He Yi: "Xingyi, I remember that the sword names of Qiushui and Guangcheng have their own sayings. What is Bai Juyi's poem about?"

He Yi replied: "It's "Li Duwei's Ancient Sword":
The ancient sword is cold and gloomy, and it has been forged for thousands of years.

The white light embraces the sun and the moon, and the purple air moves the bullfight.

If you have a look, you dare not ask for love.

In the zhanran jade box, the autumn water is clear and does not flow.

The supreme treasure has its own nature, and it has no companions.

It can be folded inch by inch, but not soft around the fingers.

May the hearts of scholars be straightened quickly, and the heads of ministers will be broken.

Don't want to report petty grievances, stabbing private revenge in the middle of the night.

I advise you to use it carefully, and you will not be ashamed to be a magic soldier. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "It can be broken inch by inch, but can't be twisted around the fingers. May you straighten the hearts of scholars quickly, and break the heads of courtiers. Bai Juyi's good poems, relieve your anger.

In the future, I will use this sword to guide the country, to wipe out Liaodong and destroy the Tartars for future generations. "

The ministers didn't know why, so they could only call the emperor Shengming.Although I don't know what kind of tricks and tricks the emperor is thinking, he can't go wrong when he shouts that the emperor is holy.

Zhu Qiyu smiled at He Yi: "Xingyi, you can take the sword box and Guangcheng sword home for me, and hand them over to Jin Xing, the head of Ganquan Palace.

Then you go back to accompany Xu Wan, otherwise she should scold me again. "

He Yi smiled knowingly, took the sword box and left.

Zhu Qiyu told Yan Li again: "You have contributed to my treasure hunting, so you can recognize it under Huang Qi's name and serve me by my side. Huang Qi, you should support Yan Li more on weekdays."

Yan Li was so excited that he almost fainted when he heard the words, and quickly knelt down to thank him.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Forget it, work hard in the future, I will not treat you badly."

Yan Li kowtowed three more times, then gave Huang Qi another kowtow, and called him godfather instead.

Huang Qi was speechless, this guy is older than me, how did I become a godfather.I'm only seventeen, how can I have a godson in his 20s.

Regardless of these, Zhu Qiyu led the people out of the warehouse, walked around and discussed political affairs with the ministers all the way.

When they entered the Ciqing Palace, the eunuchs of the Shangshan Supervisor had withdrawn their dinner.

Leading the ministers into the main hall, they saw Lin Xiangyu and Ning Xiang coming out with the crown prince.

The prince was about to kneel down, Zhu Qiyu went directly to hug the prince.

Sitting in the main hall, all the officials knelt down to worship the prince and the three imperial concubines.Concubine Cheng knelt down to Zhu Qiyu through the bead curtain.

After saluting, Zhu Qiyu smiled at Lin Xiangyu and said, "Have you guys been here long ago?"

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "Mother is pregnant and eats very early. The two of us came after dinner with mother."

Zhu Qiyu was relieved after hearing the words, it was right not to eat in the palace.

After chatting with Concubine Chong for a few words, Zhu Qiyu asked Zhu Jianshen again: "What book is the prince studying recently? Has your schoolwork improved?"

Zhu Jianshen replied intermittently: "I would like to inform Uncle Huang that my nephew has recently been... following Liu...Mr. Liu is reading the Analects of Confucius."

After all, Zhu Jianshen pointed to Liu Dingzhi who was standing below.

Zhu Qiyu frowned, it seems that the prince was really frightened by the mutiny and stuttered.

Looking up at Liu Dingzhi again, Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "It's past dinner time, why is Liu Aiqing still in the uterus?"

Liu Dingzhi replied: "Your Majesty, the prince has eaten dinner, and I will continue to lecture for the prince."

"what?"

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu turned to look at Concubine Cheng.What does this concubine Cheng think? I entrusted the prince to you to raise, not to let you be a chicken baby.A child who is only five years old still listens to the master's lectures at night?As for curling up like this?
