Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 653: The third division of bureaus convened to review and thoroughly investigate Liaodong
Following the lessons learned from the Great Yuan Dynasty, the senior leaders of the Muromachi shogunate generally did not believe that the Ming Dynasty could conquer Japan. What people were most concerned about was the dispute between the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the coexistence of the two shogunates.

As for the 13 Japanese soldiers who died in Korea, let's forget it.Anyway, it was a fellow Taoist who died, not a poor Taoist.

In particular, the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa made the Emperor of Heaven his confidant.Through the tacit cooperation with the great emperor, the real power faction of the Muromachi shogunate was exhausted. In the short term, no one can stop Ashikaga Yoshimasa from taking power.

Hosokawa Katsumoto, Yamana Sozen and others all died in Korea, leaving numerous important positions and the positions of family governors of major families vacant.The most prestigious and powerful people died, and personnel power returned to the hands of Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa first mobilized [-] troops to support the Uesugi family in the Kanto administration, then concentrated all Japanese naval forces in Hakata Port, and transported more than [-] elite troops to garrison Tsushima Island, and then sent his close minister Arima Chika as envoy to the Ming Dynasty.

After making these arrangements, Ashikaga Yoshimasa began a happy road to power in Kyoto.

Otherwise, it could be said that the general who conquered the barbarians regarded the Emperor of Ming Dynasty as a confidant. Emperor Jingtai of the Ming Dynasty's path to power could serve as a model for other monarchs.

Zhu Qiyu didn't know that he had an extra admirer, so he just played carefree at home for several days.

On March 23, the results of the re-marking of the Shuntianfu Township Examination came out.

In Qingyun Pavilion, Zhu Qiyu was lying on the couch, listening to Cao Tai's words: "Your Majesty, in addition to Wang Lun and Chen Ying, we have selected 27 more examination papers. These candidates all have the ability to pass the examination. It's just that the words are correct. The Holy One sang too much praises, and it seemed that he was specifically targeted by the examiner.

Most of the comments on these examination papers are frivolous. "

Zhu Qiyu asked: "What do you think?"

Cao Tai replied: "Since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he has not only saved the nation and saved the world, but also had benevolent and virtuous policies to comfort the country and the people. It cannot be exaggerated to praise him. How can we judge him as a candidate just because he has something to say in praise of the Holy One?" Flattery and frivolous behavior.”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Give them the status of candidates and allow them to participate in the examination."

Cao Tai asked again: "If this is the case, how will the examiner Liu Yan handle himself?"

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand impatiently: "Death."

Cao Tai, Xu Guan, and Xie Sheng were each startled and quickly advised: "How can the Holy One kill the minister with just one word? Liu Yan is guilty, but the crime does not lead to death."

"Hmph, Liu Yan can decide the fate of a candidate with one stroke, so why can't I decide Liu Yan's fate with one word?"

Cao and Tai didn't know the emperor's temperament, so they were so anxious that they blushed and became thick-necked.

He Yi could only say something to save them: "If no punishment is given, all the provincial examination examiners in each province will imitate the same, and how many students will suffer.

Besides, the Holy Emperor had asked many times that those who were willing to be loyal to orthodoxy and loyal to the crown prince could go to Nanjing and serve as officials in the East Palace.

Some people were asked to be loyal to the Holy One, but they refused; asked to be loyal to the Crown Prince, they still refused.

Loyalists from every dynasty and generation are like them, and they don't even have a clear attitude towards whom they are loyal to and who they are not loyal to. "

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Okay, he doesn't stand in line himself, and others force him to stand in line for him. Isn't Liu Yan a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy and a young minister in Taichang Temple?"

Just remove him from the post of Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, demote him to editor of Nanjing Hanlin Academy, and go lecture to the prince.

A loyal minister like him cannot be afforded, so let him be a loyal minister of the crown prince. "

When Cao Tai and the other three heard this, their eyes widened. It was the first time they heard that someone could force a minister to designate a person of allegiance.

Zhu Qiyu then ordered: "Huang Qi, go to the cabinet in person to convey the order to jail Li Chun, the former governor of Liaodong, and hand him over to the Tribunal for Trial. If Li Chun's crimes in Liaodong are found to have caused harm to the country and the people, Wang Ao, the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing, will be recalled. , to investigate the crime of neglecting his duties and indulging his subordinates during the military affairs of Liaodong.

In addition, two more cabinet bachelors will be added to allow the cabinet to hold court nominations in conjunction with the Ministry of Personnel.Also, these two new cabinet ministers should preside over the examinations and palace examinations, lest anyone accuse me of being selfish again. "

Pei Dang replied from the side: "Your Majesty, you have forgotten that Huang Qi went to North Korea to supervise the army."

Zhu Qiyu slapped his forehead: "I'm so angry. I'm used to bossing around Huang Qi. I'm not used to him going to North Korea. Okay, then you can go to the cabinet."

Pei Dang accepted the order, turned around and left.

Zhu Qiyu also wanted to go back, but He Yi quickly stopped and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to take a leave of absence."

"What's wrong, Xingyi, are you feeling unwell?"

He Yi shook his head: "No, I want to take a few days off and accompany my wife back to my parents' home for a few days."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, the war in North Korea has been too annoying recently. The war is finally over. Give me ten days off to relax and unwind, otherwise Xu Wan will scold me by name again.

As for your students, let Xu Qing have a holiday too, but Zhu Wenfang has to stay. I have to give him lectures in person. "

He Yi understood as soon as he heard it: 'This is the current emperor's intention to instill secret teachings into the next emperor.The secret method and the Queen Mother's politics are two powerful tools to maintain the stable inheritance of imperial power.

The Western Han Dynasty was strong because, first, it relied on the imperial mentality that was inherited from the same line, and second, it relied on the queen mother to assist the government and educate her children.

It was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that he kept his son and abandoned his mother, which destroyed the political tradition of the Western Han Dynasty. As a result, Emperor Zhao had no mother to support him and died in an unknown age at a young age. This indirectly led to the death of Emperor Yuan's biological mother at the hands of powerful officials. Emperor Yuan did not have the support and upbringing of his biological mother. , embarked on the wrong path to ruin the great man. '

Zhu Qiyu also understands this truth, so he has been making plans and training his women.Even if he dies suddenly, the remaining concubines can take on the responsibility of supporting Zhu Wenfang until he reaches adulthood.

Otherwise, if the unfortunate situation of Empress Dowager Li in Wanli's stall occurs, and the dignified emperor is tortured to collapse by the iron triangle composed of Li, Feng Bao, and Zhang Juzheng, it will be a disaster.

The most important thing is that Wanli, a gentle and kind person, was turned into that by Li, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng. It was really a crime.

As soon as Zhu Qiyu left Qingyun Pavilion, it started raining outside.

Jin Xing, the eunuch in charge of Ganquan Palace, hurried over to hold an umbrella. Zhu Qiyu asked as he walked: "Jin Xing, there is no one to supervise the army over there in Shandong. Do you want to go?"
What I mean is that you all take turns to supervise the army, perform meritorious service, and accumulate some qualifications.

Liu Xiang is still in the south and has not been able to come back, Huang Qi went to North Korea, and Chen Lin and Fu An have both served in the military.

This time to supervise the army in Shandong, either you or Ruan Zhu will go. "

Jin Xing smiled and said: "Then I'd better do my duty as a slave. Ruan Zhu has a young lover, and he doesn't want to leave the capital at all now."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "My dear friend? Is she the little girl from Siyuan Supervisor?"

Jin Xing was surprised: "How come the emperor knows everything!"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "What can I know? It's your Shi Niangniang who manages the West Factory for me. She knows everything."

Jin Xing smiled and said: "Then I will find a sweetheart someday."

"Okay, Shandong also produces beautiful women. When you go to supervise the army, you can look for them. Our family still has four queens in Shandong. After you finish supervising the army, you can take the opportunity to inspect our family's property and ask a few queens to help you. Check it out and find a young lady you like."

Jin Xing quickly accepted the order, and then frowned and expressed his worries: "But we are all eunuchs. Even if the emperor is merciful and allows us to marry, it is inhumane after all. It is unbearable to miss the girl's youth. .”
