Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 748: Ministers promoted the impeachment trend and scrambled to collect legal precedents

Zhu Qiyu looked around and realized that the five women he had now were the most beautiful wives that Cao Cao liked most. All of them have red lips, white teeth, and beautiful eyebrows. They exude femininity from head to toe. Just looking at them makes people appetite.

Lin Xiangyu teased from the side: "What did dad think of again? He just smiled evilly. Could it be that he thought of 'Dongfeng doesn't have sex with Zhou Lang, and Tongquechun locks Erqiao deeply'?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "That's not true. Although Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are biological sisters, they don't look exactly the same. And I have locked a pair of twin beauties in Lingyu Palace. They look exactly the same. It's definitely a better experience than Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, Cao Cao should be envious of me."

Qianxue asked: "If my husband was born in the Eastern Han Dynasty and became Cao Cao, would you be able to dominate the world and successfully obtain Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao?"

Zhu Qiyu answered honestly: "That's definitely not possible. I'm just making random boasts. The reason why you think I'm an emperor is because the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty has reached its peak.

Many times, if you really stop there, countless heroes will bow to you.

Therefore, to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you only need to be able to strategize and guard against assassination.

If I were born as Cao Cao, I would probably be a prefect. I got there by being a nobleman and serving as Yuan Shao's younger brother. "

Although he has been emperor for eight years, Zhu Qiyu's self-understanding is still quite clear.

Several beloved concubines were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that their husband had been praised by civil and military officials for so long, but he didn't even get flattered at all. He was really sober in the world.

Ningxiang comforted him: "No matter what, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, my father has conquered so much territory and his achievements are not small. If Xiao Wenfang is filial enough in the future, it will not be a big problem to grant you the title of ancestor."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "In the remaining fifteen years, don't drift, don't act, don't imitate Li Shimin, and abdicate after you have done your work down-to-earth.

You were only in your thirties at that time. If you had Wu Zetian's physical condition, we could have played together comfortably for at least twenty years. "

"Wu Zetian is over seventy and still has a male favorite. She is nourished by several men every day. When we are over fifty and my husband is sixty, will you still be able to cope with us?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "When the time comes, I will also let you have male pets. I have slept with fifteen women, so I will let each of you sleep with fifteen men. Is that fair and just?"

When several beloved concubines heard this, they all clapped their hands and cheered.

Zhu Qiyu observed who clapped his hands the most cheerfully, and then gave whoever the most violent impact.

……

After a few days of freedom, on December 21, at the request of the ministers, the last court meeting in the eighth year of Jingtai was convened in Qingyun Hall.

Zhu Qiyu thought that the court meeting was to make a year-end summary and look forward to next year's development, and then wait for the Zhengdan day, when it was time to offer sacrifices and greetings. After that, there was a half-month holiday.

But I didn't expect that I underestimated the dedication of the ministers.

Zhu Qiyu first summarized and looked forward: "Last year, the imperial court spent countless money on food and finally captured Japan. But by selling food to Japan, the money spent was basically recovered, and there was still a lot of profit.

Next year, the Xuanwei Department of the old port will be taken back, and then the maritime ban will be completely lifted, and trade in the East, West, and Southeast Asia will be opened.

In the north, mutual trade is fully open. Mongolia has not violated the border for several years, but we cannot slack off.

After several years of recuperation, the strength of the Mongolian tribes has recovered, and they may invade the border again at any time. "

The ministers were very happy at first, but a ladle of ice water poured over them made them feel really cold. Since Ye Xian was completely wiped out, the Ming Dynasty has not worried about these messy things in Mongolia for several years.

The difficulty of Mongolia is that Taizu also fought, Taizong also fought, and many wars were fought one after another, but the wildfires could not be burned out, and the spring breeze blew again.

No matter how good the war is, we can manage it for ten or twenty years at most. When a generation grows up, it will be a new reincarnation.

This is much harder to fight than North Korea, Japan, and Annan.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Zhu Qiyu smiled at everyone and said: "When spring comes next year, I will fill up the East Palace subordinate officers and the third division and the third major, and then we will provide relief for famines and build water conservancy projects.

As for Mongolia’s trends, let’s wait and see.

My dear friends, do you have anything else to say? Please retire without incident. "

Everyone hurriedly stopped him. After the emperor finished speaking, everyone still had a lot to say.

Zhu Qiyu smiled helplessly and said, "Why don't you tell the prince slowly? I'm a little tired and I want to go home and lie down."

Everyone still refused to give in and insisted on the emperor staying.

Zhu Qiyu sat helplessly on the dragon throne. The entire bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty was designed to be extremely sophisticated. In the absence of war, even like Wanli, no major problems would occur.

Xiao Tan, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was the first to stand up and report: "Your Majesty, the prince-in-law Xue Huan has recently indulged his domestic slaves, lured refugees, occupied tens of hectares of people's fields, and instigated herdsmen to destroy crops. I would like to ask the judicial officer. , impeach him."

Zhu Qiyu was stunned when he heard this. Why did he do this in the first place? The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Do you want me to deal with the Prince Consort Xue Huan?

Although Princess Changde is not my biological sister, Xue Huan is my biological brother-in-law. In many matters, Xue Huan stood actively and enthusiastically on my side. It would be fine if I didn't reward him heavily. It would be somewhat unkind to punish him as soon as he came up.

Xiao Tan knew the emperor's intention and continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, since the "Ming Code" is to be formulated, if the relatives violate the law, do they have to be guilty of the same crime as the common people? Or is it that the "Ming Code" only targets ordinary people and does not involve the powerful?"

Zhu Qiyu understood that the "Da Gao" is mainly composed of three parts: admonitions, orders and cases. Judgment is a very important part, and convictions are based on jurisprudence, which has been around since the Ming Dynasty.

Xiao Tan's question is equivalent to collecting precedents for the "Da Ming Code" and setting the tone at the same time. The emperor's attitude towards the powerful determines the fairness of the code.

If Xue Huan is not dealt with, the people of the world will understand that the establishment of the "Da Ming Code" is just for the sake of superficial political performance.

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Qiyu replied: "Arrest and interrogate the domestic slaves who seize the people's fields and the herdsmen who trample the crops."

Xiao Fan asked again: "May I ask Your Majesty, if the crime is proven, what should be done?"

"The slaves will be beheaded, and all the land they occupied will be returned to the original owners. In addition, the prince-in-law will be fined and confiscated three times the amount of the land they occupied. Xue Huan will be fined a year's salary, and he will stay at home to reflect on his mistakes for a year."

This punishment is neither serious nor light. One penalty and three penalties can be regarded as a warning to the powerful.

Yao Kui, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, then reported: "Your Majesty, the general and governor of Liaodong, Hu Yuan, lured the barbarians to surrender and killed them without permission, causing the barbarians to take revenge and disturbing the border areas. Now that the weapons have arrived in Beijing, the law department has arrested them. Should be cut.

If the matter involves a foreign matter, please ask the Holy Judge. "
