Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 789 Analogy to Taizong’s Spiritual Victory and the Criminal Prison Prisoner’s Conspiracy to Escape

Just when the ministers were at a loss for the emperor's impassioned and inexplicable optimism, Zhu Qiyu sat on the throne and suddenly laughed.

Everyone thought that the emperor was dreaming about the bright prospect of annihilating Mongolia and achieving eternal imperial status.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu suddenly remembered Emperor Taizong.

Taizong raised troops to quell Jingnan and ascended the throne as emperor. Eighteen years after becoming emperor, the Forbidden City in Beijing was basically completed.

On the first day of the nineteenth year of Yongle, Taizong received congratulations from hundreds of officials in Fengtian Hall. Four months later, the three main halls of Fengtian, Huagai and Jinshen were completely burned by "thunder and fire from heaven".

This incident shocked the whole country. Taizong was extremely embarrassed and had to issue an edict to "please speak frankly."

Taizong is so powerful and has been emperor for eighteen years, but there are still a lot of people in the government and the public who are dissatisfied.

So much so that Taizong couldn't even stand his own palace, which was the three main palaces. The facade of the imperial city couldn't survive even one year and was burned to the ground.

People suffer from scarcity and inequality. When Zhu Qiyu thought about it, he felt balanced in his heart: This year is the ninth year of Jingtai. I have made every effort to be emperor for ten years.

Even though Taizong was emperor for eighteen years, he could not completely eliminate the opponents. Therefore, it is normal that after I have been emperor for ten years, there are still people who oppose me and secretly hinder me.

This is not because I am incompetent, this is just a normal phenomenon.

At the very least, my palace isn't on fire yet.

Sure enough, the spiritual victory method can best make people happy.

So Zhu Qiyu was happy. In addition to being unable to bear the imperial palace, Taizong was also deceived by the 'good sage grandson' for decades.

As a result, as soon as the great grandson came to the throne, he completely changed Taizong's way of governing the country.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Wenfang beside him. At least his prince had been with him since he was a child, teaching him step by step and edifying him subtly.

Moreover, Zhu Qiyu learned the lessons of his predecessors and would not put pressure on the prince when nothing happened, so as not to make him mentally abnormal.

When Zhu Qiyu was distracted, Luo Tong stood up and continued his petition: "Your Majesty, I am old and weak, and I am no longer able to cope with such heavy military affairs of the Ministry of War.

He also asked the Holy Spirit to recall the minister who was leading the troops abroad, or to select another minister. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Ai Qing, please wait a little longer. I have ordered Xu Youzhen to return to Beijing."

Yao Kui, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment imprisoned more than 20 people and secretly conspired in prison. Two of them surrendered and exposed the conspiracy.

There are more than 160 heavy-duty prisoners in the Ministry of Punishment today. There is fear that something unexpected may happen, so it is advisable to meet with officials immediately for trial.

The two people who surrendered themselves know that they are afraid of the law and repent, so they should be treated more leniently. "

Zhu Qiyu asked: "Secret rebellion? What do you mean? Ai Qing said they want to escape from prison, right?"

Yao Kui nodded: "These prisoners who conspired to cause rebellion are all extremely vicious desperadoes. Once they successfully escape from prison, they will probably run around the capital, kidnap innocent people, and kill them indiscriminately."

As soon as he said this, Zhu Qiyu also became nervous: Counting all the places where the sun can shine, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is the most beautiful area and must be ranked first.

If more than twenty heavy-duty prisoners escape from the Ministry of Punishment and run around in the capital, killing some innocent people, and even the families of famous and powerful people suffer, and if an earl, marquis, minister, minister or something else dies, then I, Jingtai, The emperor's face would be greatly humiliated.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu praised: "My dear, I am very relieved that you can prevent problems before they happen. This batch of heavy prisoners will be reviewed quickly by the three-law division, and they will be reported immediately. Those who have committed the most heinous crimes will be executed by me personally. Those two Those who surrender will be sent to the Liaodong Army.

The three judicial departments of yours will come together and agree that we should build a prison specifically for felons. "

Yao Kui accepted the order, and more than ten matters were discussed between the monarch and his ministers before the dynasty dispersed.

Zhu Qiyu took Zhu Wenfang out of Qingyun Palace and walked back slowly.

Zhu Qiyu looked back at Qingyun Palace, and then told Zhu Wenfang: "Palaces built of wood are often prone to thunder and fire from the sky, and are burned to the ground. The palaces in the imperial city suffered many disasters.

You have to remember that only stones and bricks are reliable, these two materials cannot be lit. Don't sleep and sleep. If the palace is on fire, it will be a joke. "

Zhu Wenfang has lived in a stone house since she was a child. She usually uses jade and porcelain and is not very interested in wood.

Zhu Qiyu added: "Paint, lead, and mercury are the most harmful things to humans and must not be contaminated.

Otherwise, the worst case scenario would be headaches, backache, inability to give birth to a child, or the child would die young; the worst case scenario would be a short life, dying before thirty.

The two most important things in being a king are: one is to live a long life, and the other is to have many children. "

Zhu Wenfang nodded solemnly, and then joked: "Dad, you can really give birth. I already have fifteen brothers. This year, several mothers have become pregnant one after another. You are taking care of fifty." She’s alive!”

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands and said: "There is no way, the number of women I have is strictly limited to fifteen. If I can expand the harem, I can have several times more sons than now.

The attitude of your mothers is very clear. As long as I accept another woman, a big palace fight will begin immediately.

Moreover, even if the woman I accept gives birth to a son, they will still kill me. "

"Are my mothers so cruel?"

"Men, when you make a promise, you must keep it. I first promised your mothers not to accept other women, and then they were so docile and allowed me to do whatever I wanted.

As a result, your mothers completely entrusted their bodies and minds to me. I turned around and broke my promise and went to open up the harem. Isn’t that just a joke?

When the time comes, palace fighting will be light, and if it doesn’t work, I will have to be fed medicine.

So you have to remember my wise words: As an emperor, you can play with women, but you cannot play with women. "

Zhu Wenfang scratched her head in confusion: "Why can you play with women, but not women?"

"Just remember it, you'll understand when you grow up. In short, many emperors died at the hands of women.

To give you an example, Tang Zhongzong Li Xian was eventually poisoned by Queen Wei and Princess Anle. There are a lot of articles in it. Go back and dig out the history books and read them slowly. "

Zhu Wenfang nodded and asked: "Is the Pingmeng policy that dad just talked about at the court meeting serious?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and smiled: "How could that be true? You have to remember another truth: a dog that bites does not bark, and a dog that barks does not bite.

The fact that I screamed so fiercely during the court meeting just shows that I won't really pounce on you and bite you.

Meng Yuan is different from other enemies. For example, when we attacked Japan, it was almost impossible for us to reach Japanese ears about the strategies we discussed at the North Korean meeting.

But the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was different. After Taizu established the country, a large number of Mongolians were naturalized.

Most of them were incorporated into the military, and many of them held important positions, and some even received marquis or count for their military merit.

These forces are deeply entwined in the court, and what you say in the court is likely to be leaked out intact and reach Agabarji. "

"So these naturalized Mongolians are eating from the Ming Dynasty, but they want to ruin the Ming Dynasty?"

"No, no, no, that's not accurate. Most of the naturalized Mongolians are very loyal to the Ming Dynasty. What they want to blame now is our father and son.

Your grandfather and uncle are hard to say on other matters, but they have a good way of winning over the Mongolians. There are a large number of naturalized Mongolians who are loyal to your grandfather and your uncle.

Their Xuande clique and Yuanshou clique are the mortal enemies of our Jingtai clique. We need to find them and kill them all.

In the Ming Dynasty, only our Jingtai line is enough. I will be the ancestor, you will be the Zhongzong, and we will set up a separate stove to play by ourselves. "

"It's been ten years, and we still have so many enemies?"
