Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 568: Coercion of the ministers and the successful and orthodox record of the court meeting, closing the coffin of the old dynasty
At this time, almost everyone did not understand. Zhu Qiyu explained patiently: "You all know about the Timurid Empire in the West back then. It was so powerful that it even seriously prepared to attack the Ming Dynasty.

Although Timur's empire is now in civil strife, there are still powerful empires further west.Don’t always think that only the Ming Dynasty is the supreme kingdom.

I will organize manpower to compile three books, namely "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books", "Tongzhi of the Universe", and "Unification of the Ming Dynasty", and then turn the temple in Beijing into a library.

"Huanyu Tongzhi" will record the situation of all countries in the world, and you can go and see it yourself when the time comes. "

The courtiers only take orders and do as the emperor likes.Last time the emperor insisted on regaining Annan, everyone chose to wait and see, planning to wait until the emperor failed before standing up to oppose it.

As a result, the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, not only regaining Annan within three months, but also completely annihilating Luchan, and opened up the three provinces of Annan, Myanmar, and Bangladesh.

Therefore, based on the experience last time, the ministers are more cautious: they will not object for now, and everyone will listen and do what the emperor says first.When it fails, everyone will stand up and be Zhuge Liang. If it succeeds, forget it.

He originally wanted to continue talking, but Zhu Qiyu thought about it carefully and decided to forget it. He had said enough for today, so he asked again: "My dear friends, do you have any questions?"

Wang Wen stood up and said: "May I ask Your Majesty, do you want to start compiling the true records of the Zhengtong Dynasty?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Oh, yes, I forgot to mention it, Aiqing. Today I officially announced that I will start compiling the "Legendary Record", and Wang Aiqing will be the president.

The compilation of orthodox records must be fair and impartial and respect the facts.

Don't accuse people unjustly, don't blame people wrongly, but don't let those traitors go either. "

After Wang Wen accepted the order, Liao Zhuang stood up and asked: "May I ask Your Majesty, will the witchcraft case affect the status of the prince? How will the prince deal with himself in the future?"

Zhu Qiyu replied without hesitation: "The prince is the foundation of the country and will not be shaken. The empress Chengfei who is responsible for taking care of the prince was promoted to the imperial concubine and given a gold book and gold treasure."

I respectfully asked the emperor to designate a main and two sides for the crown prince, a total of three crown princes.They are the main concubine Princess Annan, the side concubine Princess North Korea, and the daughter of Huoerhuda, the obedient king of Wala.

Since it is the eldest brother's wish, the Cabinet and the Ministry of Rites will officially confirm it and issue an edict to the world.

If any of you want to be an official of the Crown Prince and devote yourself to teaching the Crown Prince, you can register at the Ministry of Personnel.Everyone will satisfy you. "

Liao Zhuang accepted the order, but all the officials were silent.

Although there are many civil and military officials who are respectful to the emperor, there are only a dozen or so people like Liu Dingzhi, Liao Zhuang, Lin Cong, Ye Sheng, and Li Kan who can really stand up and challenge the emperor.

The reason why I don't take them seriously is because they are all small fish and shrimps. Compared with Hu Hui, Wang Zhi and others, they are really not worth mentioning.

Zhu Qiyu did not hesitate to kill them all, and threw them all to Nanjing.

Tired, Zhu Qiyu told Wei Ji: "We still have a lot of pepper and sappan wood in the Ming Dynasty warehouse. During the Chinese New Year, we will give each of the civil and military officials a hundred pounds."

Some were also given to soldiers and government officials in Beijing.

After the New Year, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs sent people to develop the copper mines in Yunnan and Yuanluchuan, and we began to mint money on a large scale.

A ten-year transition period is set aside. By the 11th year of Jingtai, Ming Dynasty banknotes will officially cease circulation.Currency switching is completely completed.

Before this, when people paid taxes, they could use their existing treasure banknotes to offset [-]% of the tax amount.

After the imperial court recovered the treasure banknotes, they were handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs for destruction. "

All the officials had no objection. In the past, Xuan Temple used pepper and sappan wood to compensate for their salaries, so naturally everyone was unwilling to do so.Now we are giving away a hundred catties of pepper and sappanwood for free, so there is no objection to it. Don’t give it away for free.

Zhu Qiyu stood up and walked out of Qingyun Palace.

In fact, after talking so much, Zhu Qiyu has not mentioned the three most important events this year.

Destroying the Wala, abolishing the emperor, and reforming household registration are the highlights of this year.

After completing these three things, there should be no more opponents on the surface.

After leaving Qingyun Hall, I found that it was already snowing outside.

Putting on his cloak, Zhu Qiyu walked on the snow and returned to his gentle hometown.

When all the officials came out and saw snowflakes all over the sky, they all exclaimed that it was really auspicious snow that heralded a good year.Under the leadership of the absurd Da Mingzi, the situation is getting better and better.

Everyone has to admit that the Ming Dynasty is really on the verge of renaissance.At least the domestic war should be completely over this year.

After counting, there is only one Miao Chao left in the country.As for the Japanese rebellion that the emperor was obsessed with, it is not certain whether it will happen or not.Anyway, after the court meeting is over, everyone can go home and rest peacefully for half a month.This year all the officials were very sensible, and no one mentioned anything about congratulating the emperor anymore.

The officials congratulated each other, and then they all got on the carriage and went home.

Zhu Qiyu walked into the Hehuan Hall. It was cold and windy outside, but it was as warm as early summer inside the hall.

Lin Xiangyu came up to him, and while serving Zhu Qiyu to change clothes, he smiled and said: "It's the New Year, those ministers didn't teach your husband a lesson, did they?"

"Not today. I have such a bad temper that no one dares to teach me a lesson."

Lin Xiangyu nodded very firmly.

"Hey, mother, I'm so exhausted."

"Yeah, good son, I'll give you a full body massage soon. I won't feel tired after that."

Zhu Qiyu glared at the narrow-minded ghost fiercely: "I'm almost exhausted, and you dare to take advantage of me, a cheap slave."

Lin Xiangyu looked innocent: "You insist on calling me mother, and the slave family is also helpless."

"Huh, where are the others? Why are you the only one in the room?"

"They went to dress themselves up and prepared a small show for their husbands later."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and after bathing in the hot spring, he received a full-body massage under Lin Xiangyu's spiritual tongue.

Get rid of fatigue and become energetic again.Back in the Hehuan Hall, the other four concubines were already waiting beside the soft couch.

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "Husband, please sit down on the couch. Our sisters will kowtow to you and congratulate you."

"No need, just skip it."

Lin Xiangyu asked with a smile: "Is it true, my husband has thought about it?"

"Haha, it's fake, you can just kowtow. I like to see the best beauties like you crawling at my feet."

So Zhu Qiyu sat down on the couch, and Lin Xiangyu led the sisters, kneeling three times and nine times at Zhu Qiyu's feet, performing the master-slave ceremony.

It is so beautiful that Zhu Qiyu is in a state of intoxication.

After the ceremony, the five women knelt down at Zhu Qiyu's feet side by side. Qianxue explained: "Husband, look, you originally had fifteen slaves, but now they have been reduced to five.

But you usually don’t have time to manage us, so should you choose a leader among the five of us?

Our proposal is to choose once a year, and the situation will change. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded, then raised his hand and pointed at Ningxiang. Just as he was about to speak, Qianxue grabbed his finger and said, "Humph, men know how to play favorites."

"Shouldn't I just appoint them and then come in turns year after year? Then what do you think we should do?"

Qianxue smiled and said: "The four of us have two words written on our chests, and my husband also said two words.

Whoever the two words said by the husband match the words on the chest will be the master of Lingyu Palace this year.

The term of office is one year, with re-election after one year. "

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he hugged Ningxiang into his arms and looked down his neck.

Qianxue teased: "Don't look at me, husband. The best view is at the top. What's the use of looking into the ravines? If you're wise, you'd better say a few words quickly."

Zhu Qiyu covered his head and thought for a long time before he came up with two words: "Jiu Ke."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ningxiang showed a smile like a little fox.

Qianxue and others were dumbfounded. It was hard for this man to guess such an uncommon word.
