Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 215

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to eat~"

Busy time always passes quickly. Zhu Youxiao, who was busy at his desk, was reminded by Liu Ruoyu to raise his head and look out the window, only to realize that it was already dark.

"It's getting dark."

Zhu Youxiao put down his ink pen, rubbed his sore wrists, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "What I do as an emperor, I don't even care about day and night."

"Your Majesty cares about the world."

Liu Ruoyu lowered his head, "Your Majesty, every day..."

"If I don't care about the world, then who else will care about it?"

Zhu Youxiao stood up from the throne, moved his body, and said, "Send someone to send the memorials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, and give oral instructions to Wang Xiangqian and Bi Ziyan. Don't be impatient in everything. Everything should be done one by one. Be intentional." That’s fine, but you also have to take care of other things, and don’t do wrong things or bad things out of good intentions.”

"Here!"

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly bowed and responded.

The more he learned, the more Zhu Youxiao felt that there was not enough time. Counting from the middle and late Wanli Dynasty, especially the three great campaigns of Wanli, the center had problems and hidden dangers of the center, and the localities had local problems and hidden dangers. Both It's like a mess that becomes more and more tangled as time goes by. If you want to sort it all out, it won't be possible in a year and a half, nor in two or three years.

This is the most difficult thing about Ming Dynasty.

On the one hand, all kinds of difficulties and problems are in front of you, on the other hand, all kinds of bad policies and hidden dangers are hidden behind the scenes. If you can take care of one end, you can't take care of the other end. You have no choice but to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. There will be more questions, but things that have to be done.

It still needs to be open source.

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the Luohan bed, looked at the food in front of him, but he had no appetite at all. Internal financial reforms must be carried out according to Bi Ziyan's ideas, peeling off step by step, adjusting step by step, otherwise there will be no more A good policy may become harmful to the people when it reaches the local level.

The Ming Dynasty cannot continue to be in chaos, and it cannot withstand new chaos.

It's just that the chaos of the Ming Dynasty is gathering momentum in other places besides Liaodong. If you want to solve these problems, you must have sufficient gold and silver reserves.

The internal money bag is the only key to effectively solve the problem after Zhu Youxiao thought about it.

"Send someone to the Supervisor of Ceremonies and bring me all the documents and files involving Mongolian, Korean, and Japanese people." Zhu Youxiao picked up the bowls and chopsticks and said to Liu Ruoyu who was serving at the side.

"The slaves obey the order."

When he was thinking about things, Zhu Youxiao hated being disturbed the most, and the days of serving the emperor were not short. Liu Ruoyu knew the temper of his emperor well. When he saw the emperor starting to eat, Liu Ruoyu called people in and put the emperor on the table. Take away the reviewed memorials and implement the decrees one by one.

Although Zhu Youxiao has no appetite, he still has to eat. The body is capital. Without a good body, no matter how many good ideas he has, everything will be empty talk.

Zhu Youxiao ate slowly and carefully, but before taking a few mouthfuls, Han Zanzhou, who was waiting outside the hall, came in with his head lowered and asked Qian Qianyi, the history of general affairs, to see him.

"It's so late, what is he doing here?"

Zhu Youxiao held the bowl and chopsticks, frowned and looked at Han Zanzhou, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Xuan."

Since the first assistant Fang Congzhe and the second assistant Liu Yishui were eliminated, and so many traitors were killed in batches, which shocked the foreign court, Zhu Youxiao did not focus on the outer court and was busy with things he considered important. After all, There was so much to do, but his time and energy were limited.

The existing system in the Ming Dynasty is quite complete to be honest. If there is no party struggle, there will be no problem in using this system to govern the world.

The bad thing is the party struggle!
But according to Zhu Youxiao's idea, if you want to fight, you can fight as you like, but don't come over to bother me or plot against me. If you really dare to do this, then just play the game again.

It’s good to take some time off while busy.

Emperor Ming, this is Zhu Youxiao’s confidence!

"Your Majesty...Qian Qianyi, General Secretary, pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao sat on the Luohan bed and continued to eat, ignoring Qian Qianyi who bowed and saluted. Although Qian Qianyi glanced at Qian Qianyi from the corner of his eye, Zhu Youxiao pretended not to hear or see.

There's nothing wrong with asking this old boy to give you more.

However, this was a pain for Qian Qianyi, who kept bowing and saluting without daring to move. Although his arms were very sore, he did not want to lose his etiquette in front of the emperor.

It took a lot of effort to get here today, but he didn't want to be like Liu Yishen and leave the court and the capital in despair.

Liu Ruoyu, who was serving in front of the emperor, looked at his nose and heart, standing like a wooden stake. There was no movement at all. This made Qian Qianyi secretly curse the eunuch in his heart!
"Ai Qing is here."

Zhu Youxiao, who had eaten and drank enough, put down his bowls and chopsticks and said belatedly: "Liu Ruoyu, what did you do for food? Aiqing is here, why didn't you remind me?"

"Slaves are punished with death."

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly bowed to apologize.

"Besides saying this, what else can you say?"

But Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please step aside. I will offer you a seat and pour you some tea."

Dongnuan Pavilion immediately became busy.

"My beloved, you are here to see me, but what's the matter?"

Qian Qianyi was about to sit down on the brocade stool when he was bowing to express his gratitude. When faced with the emperor's question, he quickly bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, I am here to see you for the emperor's wedding."

"Oh."

Zhu Youxiao responded without saying anything else.The draft matter has come to an end, but preparations for the emperor's wedding and the queen's enthronement ceremony are also in full swing. Many people in foreign affairs are paying attention to this matter.

When summoning Minister Nan Shufang today, Zhu Youxiao specifically mentioned that all necessary expenses should be allocated from internal funds and should not burden the Ministry of Household Affairs.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not make anyone public about this matter. Fan Jingwen and Bi Ziyan discussed the details. Since there are officials in the outer court who are concerned about this matter, let them pay attention.

Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Household Affairs, was difficult enough. Zhu Youxiao didn't want to ask him to make any compromises or tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall because of this matter. This was not what Zhu Youxiao wanted.

"Then what does Aiqing want to say?"

While Qian Qianyi was hesitating and wanted to sit back on the bench, Zhu Youxiao spoke again.

This made Qian Qianyi a little miserable.

Now his hands and waist are still sore.

"The emperor's wedding and the queen's ceremony are all important events for our dynasty. They are related to the dignity of our dynasty, and they also demonstrate the etiquette..." Qian Qianyi endured the discomfort, bowed and started talking.

This old boy has a very bad character, but his words are beautiful.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Qian Qianyi, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He had no intention of letting Qian Qianyi go or killing him before he squeezed all the value out of Shui Tailiangjun. That would be too childish. A good person to take advantage of. He has weak knees, is afraid of death, has no ethics at all, and has a very high reputation. There are several major events. Zhu Youxiao thinks it must be Shui Tailiang!
"Then according to what Aiqing said, ministers in the court are very concerned about this matter?"

Zhu Youxiao calmed down, stretched out his hand and said to Qian Qianyi: "Sit down, sit down, dear, don't stand. Do Han Xu and the others want to have a big event to show the world the majesty of the country?"

How dare Qian Qianyi sit down while the emperor is talking?

"Yes."

After Zhu Youxiao finished his lecture, Qian Qianyi saluted.

"Is there money in the treasury?"

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile but not a smile: "In the past, Han Xu and the others often complained about their poverty to me. Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Household Affairs, even went to the imperial court more than once, saying that he wanted to increase revenue and reduce expenditure."

"I don't know much about the actual situation of the treasury."

Qian Qianyi said: "However, I know that as ministers of the Ming Dynasty, I should share the worries of the emperor and worry about the country. Such major events celebrated by the whole world are to highlight..."

interesting.

Zhu Youxiao smiled. He knew what Qian Qianyi's purpose was. He wanted to take advantage of the wedding to donate money and loyalty, so that he could look at him differently.

If this is the case, Qian Qianyi may have met with his disciples and even colleagues in private, but he may not have benefited from it.

It's just that Qian Qianyi didn't know that Zhu Youxiao had already had an idea about the wedding. It was indeed a big event, but there were less red tape and money had to be spent in a certain way.

"Every time I think about this, I have trouble sleeping."

At that time, Qian Qianyi said with an moved expression: "I am bold enough to implore Your Majesty to allow me to initiate a donation in court..."

"My dear, you are truly the pillar of our country."

Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up. Before Qian Qianyi could finish speaking, he got down from the Luohan bed and grabbed Qian Qianyi's hand. "I am really lucky to have someone like you, the best in the country." Fortunately."

Donating money is great!

There are other good things.

If it were another person to say this, Zhu Youxiaoli would not understand it, but if it comes from Qian Qianyi's mouth, it is a different matter.

This old boy's opportunistic skills are beyond the reach of many people.

"Your Majesty~"

Qian Qianyi's eyes were slightly red at the moment, his hands were trembling slightly, and he kept saying, although Zhu Youxiao probably hated it, he endured it for the sake of money!
If you get one liang for free, it's one liang.

Zhu Youxiao is not too little!

What's more, since Qian Qianyi said this, it means that this old boy is holding back bad tricks. Compared with the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Tianqi Dynasty is different after all!
"If your Majesty trusts me, then leave this matter to me..."

While Qian Qianyi was chattering endlessly, Zhu Youxiao's thoughts came to life. He wanted to elevate this old boy to the position of second minister in the cabinet. Wouldn't the cabinet be interesting?Will there be changes in the DPRK situation?

The more Zhu Youxiao thought about it, the more he felt that this matter could be done.

Mr. Shui Tailiang is so easy to control. Asking him to step down from his position of power is more uncomfortable than killing him. Doesn't this mean that there are some things that can be exploited and asked by Qian Qianyi to do it?
"You will not let me down, and I will definitely not let you down!"

Qian Qianyi's words were almost worn out, and he had not seen the emperor express his position, which made him feel uneasy. But after Zhu Youxiao's words, Qian Qianyi became excited.

There is a play!

Works!

Good job!

Qian Qianyi couldn't hide his excitement and knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty trusts me so much. If I fail you, I will not be worthy of being a minister of the Ming Dynasty. Please rest assured, your Majesty, I will handle this matter well, share your worries for your Majesty, and serve the country well." consider……"
