Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 676: Heaven brings disaster and the ministers sarcastically admonish the Kamakura shogunate to send envoys for help
Zhu Qiyu was even more curious, how much land he owned?

Although in the whole world, if it is not a royal land, the emperor must have some private money.

Qianxue took the initiative to explain: "After the reform of Yumajian, there are more than [-] hectares of land under the name of the royal family, which is distributed all over the country. The land used to raise soldiers and horses under the name of Yumajian is not included.

We, the Prince of Qi, also have more than [-] hectares under our name, mainly concentrated in North Zhili.

The total area is close to 300 million acres. We sell more than half of the output every year and store the other half for emergencies. "

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he counted on his fingers. He said that there were a lot of things to say, but they were neither too many nor too much.By the end of the Ming Dynasty, one Fu Wang had [-] hectares of land. As an emperor and as King of Qi, I could only equal three Fu Wang.

At this time, Ningxiang reminded from the side: "If my husband changes to the crown prince next year, Brother Fang should take over as the King of Qi this year."

Zhu Qiyu thought about it for a long time and then replied: "That's right. It's really inconvenient to always belong to the eldest son. I have already secured the throne, so I don't need the title of King Qi anymore."

The more Zhu Qiyu thought about it, the more it made sense. If there was no prince in the capital, then the prince in Beijing would be a very competitive heir to the throne.For example, Zhu Qizhen did not establish a crown prince, but King Xin in Beijing was successfully supported; another example is that Tianqi's sons died many times, and King Xin in Beijing became a veritable prince.

Qianxue smiled and said: "Then the three of us sisters can no longer be princesses, and we have to become imperial concubines instead."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "It's time for those sycophants to clamor for a queen again."

Lin Xiangyu laughed at the side and said: "Whoever wants to be the queen, I will adopt Brother Fang to her. Please ministers, please don't trouble me, the biological mother of the eldest son."

"Okay, don't be fooled by anyone. If any ministers complain again, I will kill them. I don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality. I will treat you five sisters impartially and treat everyone equally.

From now on, the three concubines of Qi will all be changed to imperial concubines, and they will be completely the same. "

"Five of us?"

The concubines immediately found the language loophole.

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "It's tiring enough for me to share my feelings with five women. For the other ten sisters, I am more responsible for them.

I definitely love you, but that's just love. "

The five beloved concubines listened and did not find fault. Five women sharing one man would definitely be better than fifteen women sharing one man.

As for the man who has himself all to himself, no one is interested.The main reason is that the affairs of Prince Qi's house are too complicated. If one person manages it, no matter how capable a woman is, she will be tortured to the point of going crazy. Holding together for warmth is the only correct way.

Silent all night.

On the second day, as soon as Zhu Qiyu got up, a memorial about the strange yin and yang attacking the emperor came flying like snow flakes.

These memorials made Zhu Qiyu dumbfounded: "Good guy, wasn't Mount Tai just shaken by an earthquake? As for being so excited.

Judging from the righteous indignation of these people, they must have tolerated me for a long, long time.

What is it about me that is negligent in government and disrespectful to the ancestors of heaven and earth? I am also militaristic and cruel to the people.

With this tone, it seems that he is the style of a loyal minister of Xuan Temple.

It's a pity that God opened his eyes, and their good saint grandson only lived for more than 30 years and went to see Taizong. "

Qianxue smiled and said: "The memorial of the prince's resignation has been circulated in the government and the public. People dare to be angry but dare not speak out. It happened that the earthquake in Mount Tai gave the ministers a reason to attack you.

Since ancient times, people have believed in Mount Tai. If an earthquake in Mount Tai hurts people, it is natural that God is dissatisfied with your husband and is sending a warning of disaster.

I heard that many people in the entire capital have been incited. How do you plan to fight back against them? "

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and then replied: "Qipan Street outside Daming Gate is the only way for officials to go to court. In three days, you sent people to sort out a few rooms on Qipan Street opposite Daming Gate. room.

I want to build a temporary government office. The government office is close to Qipan Street and directly opposite Daming Gate. I want everyone who comes and going to see it. Qianxue asked curiously: "What kind of yamen should we build? What does your husband want to do?" "

Zhu Qiyu sneered and said: "This new yamen is called Fengtian Jingnan Preparatory Office. Aren't these ministers able to interpret the will of God? Didn't they say that I have sinned against God?

Okay, I'll set up a yamen, and all of you smart people will organize together to carry out executions on behalf of Heaven and bring peace to the people.

If I really lose the heart of heaven and the hearts of the people, you can destroy me on behalf of heaven. "

Qianxue smiled and said, "My husband is starting to be ridiculous again."

"I have always been too gentle, so these ministers have been kicking their noses and faces endlessly. This time I want to kill a lot of them, so as not to leave a lot of hidden dangers for Zhu Wenfang.

I figured it out, so what if I kill them? Taizong is fine, so what can happen to me.

Counting further back, Taizu killed tens of thousands and tens of thousands at once. Killing civil servants was like killing dogs, but nothing happened.

Civil servants are like leeks. If you cut a patch, there will be another patch, and soon it will be full again. "

Qianxue smiled and said, "Don't think that killing a woman is like cutting a leek."

"That's not possible. Tell Linglong that we will just eat leek and egg dumplings today."

"Okay, okay, our home-raised hens have been drinking Yuquan water and eating Jingxi rice since they were young, and the eggs they lay are delicious. Let Linglong put twenty eggs when making dumplings, and the husband will do a good job after eating them."

Zhu Qiyu nodded firmly: "Okay, as long as you let me eat well, I will do a good job and serve the five imperial concubines comfortably."

Qianxue handed over a memorial with a smile: "Husband, look at this. The Ashikaga Shige clan of the Kamakura shogunate sent an envoy to Busan to contact Duke Anguo, hoping to send an envoy to Beijing to negotiate.

If he waited for his husband's approval, it would take more than a month for the news to come back and forth, so Duke Anguo decided on his own and ordered someone to escort Ashikaga Shiri's special envoy to the capital.

Now that the special envoy has moved into the Huitong Hall, will he see his husband or not? "

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiyu put his palms together and praised: "Okay, I have been waiting for the special envoy from the Ashikaga Shiri clan for a long time. They finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked me for help.

Leave them alone for four or five days, and then let He Yi take Zhu Wenfang to negotiate with the special envoy, and I won't show up. "

Asakusa replied: "Dong Anguo also attached a military report, saying that the Ashikaga Shige clan initially defeated the Uesugi clan, led by the Kanto governor, and retreated steadily.

The Uesugi family had no choice but to build a city and defend it. The Ashikaga Shige family could not attack for a long time. They were attacked by reinforcements sent by the Muromachi shogunate from both inside and outside. It is said that they were defeated miserably.

If Ashikaga Shigeji wants to persevere, his husband is his only hope. "

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "When the time comes, Ashikaga Seiji and Ashikaga Yoshimasa will be crying and asking for my help, just like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu cried and asked Qi King Han Xin for help.

I didn't expect that my position as King of Qi should be here. I can sit in Shandong and hold the world hostage. If I want to do it, I will be the true King of Qi. "

After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Qiyu continued: "Didn't Yue Zheng ask me to cooperate with him? After the autumn harvest, I will send a hundred thousand troops from Busan to land in Kaga.

Japan's coastal defense line is not impeccable. Kaga's coast is more than 150 miles long from north to south, flat and open, with no mountains on the shore.

The reason why Dai Yuan was unable to attack Kaga was that it was nearly [-] miles away from Busan. Dai Yuan's navy ships were not powerful enough to transport the main force over such a long distance.Even if it is transported and the landing is successful, Dayuan cannot guarantee the logistics.

But I am different. I spent millions of taels to build these large ships. As long as I avoid the summer storm-prone periods, I can transport tens of thousands of troops in one go without any difficulty.

The defeat of Tsushima and the failure of the attack on Hakata Port were all to confuse the enemy. "
