I am the king of the dead

But what should the emperor do if he communicates with foreign countries?

Lost the throne.

Empress Dowager Sun also said that Zhu Qizhen would be guaranteed to be alive when the country was in no danger.

"The minister leads the order." Zhu Qiyu bowed his head and slowly exited the Cining Palace, looking at the Cining Palace with gold letters on a red background, and Xing'an standing beside him.

Xing'an immediately knew the meaning of His Royal Highness's eyes.

"Let's walk back and forth with Gu." Zhu Qiyu looked at the huge palace, and it won't be long before this is his own territory.

It's just that he doesn't particularly like it here, and the atmosphere is extremely depressing, because there is no owner in the central palace.

"Xing'an, you said that the emperor can do it, but he can't?" He walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and he didn't encounter any obstacles along the way. He seemed to be asking Xing'an, and he was also asking himself.

All the palace people stopped and saluted, and when he was far away, these palace people would stand up and continue their business.

Obviously, the news that King Yu is supervising the country and that he may ascend to the throne has been passed down by the empress dowager.

Xing'an said with a terrified expression: "How can such a big event, such as Rongchen, be able to put a beak on it."

"However, Your Highness, this minister thinks that this emperor has to sit, or not to sit."

Zhu Qiyu walked out of Cining Palace, walked through the courtyard of Wuying Hall, stepped on the bank of Jinshui River, walked through Wufeng Tower of Huangji Gate, looked curiously upstairs towards Meridian Gate, and returned to Wenwen again. Huadian.

But instead of entering the hall, he looked at the three small buildings outside the Wenhua Hall.

The highest one in the middle is the Wenyuan Pavilion, which is the Ming Cabinet in the popular sense.

From the Xuande period onwards, the edict was changed to a draft system, and the ministers of the cabinet wrote their opinions on the memorial from all over the country, and the emperor was responsible for ruling and approving the red, and then sending it to the whole country for implementation.

The complicated official affairs of the ticket system made Wenyuan Pavilion never set up official family members, and became the jurisdiction of the Western Imperial Palace and the Eastern Imperial Palace. Each room has a central dormitory, but it is not permanent, and it appears in the form of rotation.

On both sides of the Wenyuan Pavilion are the East and West Imperial Houses, which are dedicated to handling official business.

This is the center of power in Daming, and at this time he is in the position of superintendent, and he has the power to criticize.

These three attics are no smaller than Wenhua Hall, all of them are the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, or the elders of the Ming Dynasty, and they are also inside the palace.

Zhu Qiyu entered from the western imperial palace, passed by Wenyuan Pavilion, but did not bother much, exited from the east imperial palace, and headed towards the ancient and modern Tongji library.

The ancient and modern Tongji Repository is just outside the Wenhua Hall and inside the imperial city. Its scale is one size larger than that of the Wenhua Hall and Wenyuan Pavilion.

Inside are rows of bookshelves, each of which is as high as three people, and there are all kinds of books in different categories.

Zhu Qiyu stared at the books like the vast ocean, and asked dully: "Xing'an, Gu remember, when the emperor seems to have to teach scriptures every day, right? It's just reading the books here, right?"

"His Royal Highness, according to the minister's understanding, this is the case." Xing'an bowed his head and said.

Zhu Qiyu shivered, pointed to the two bookshelves and said, "I guess I can't finish reading the books on these two bookshelves in my lifetime."

Xing'an was very embarrassed and said: "Your Highness, that is... the directory."

Gan!

Zhu Qiyu scratched his head vigorously, and casually took a book from the bookshelf, Emperor Taizong Wen Emperor Li Shimin's "Emperor Fan".

He really wanted to know how Li Shimin dealt with the aftermath after killing his brother.

This is a skill point that must be learned.

Xing'an was shocked when he saw the book Zhu Qiyu picked up.

"It's a good place." Zhu Qiyu tucked Di Fan into his sleeve, looked at the endless books, and said with emotion.

There are "Sailing from the Treasure Shipyard from the Longjiang Pass to Foreign Countries", which is the famous "Zheng He's Navigation Map", and there are also four volumes of "Astronomical Package Book", which contain the four seas of the 27th Institute of Yuanren. photometry.

What is Four Seas Surveying?

In the Yuan Dynasty, Guo Shoujing led people to set foot on Huangyan Island in the thousands of miles of sea ponds, and then to Daming City in the desert with long smoke, and set up 27 astronomical observatories across thousands of miles. , the four seas test, to verify whether the earth is a ball.

A basic fact has been determined: it is only said that the sea and the ground are circular, and the ground is like a chicken, and the yellow and yellow live alone in the sky, which belongs to the prototype of the earth theory and the geocentric theory.

He flipped through it casually, and it contained all the materials and production techniques of the Daming Treasure Ship, as well as dozens of pages of cross-ocean star-crossing charts, needle-road navigation charts, and ship weapons and equipment charts, all of which appeared in the form of pictures and texts.

This book was compiled into a book after Zheng He's sixth voyage to the West, and sent to the capital in duplicate.

Zhu Qiyu walked out of the ancient and modern general collection library, looked back again, and told Xing'an to do a good job of fire prevention here.

He walked out of the palace very casually and returned to Prince Yu's Mansion. The scale of Prince Yu's Mansion was not large, but it was superior in sophistication.

He walked into the study, took out "Di Fan" and studied it carefully. When Xing'an began to hold the candle and light the lamp, he came back to his senses and asked, "Is Yu Shangshu here?"

"It's time for half a cup of tea. Waiting in the main hall, do you want to see me now?" Xing'an replied.

Zhu Qiyu frowned and said: "When Yu Shangshu comes in the future, no matter what you are doing, you must report it as soon as possible."

"Yes." Xing'an nodded and hurriedly went to the main hall to invite Yu Qian to the study.

Yu Qian entered the study and immediately had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead. He saw "Di Fan" on the table, and Zhu Qiyu spread the book flat on the table.

"Your Highness really...you can't put it down." Yu Qian hurriedly greeted, he stared at the Emperor Fan, his scalp was numb, he had already confirmed that it was Li Shimin's Emperor Fan, and he was not mistaken.

Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate killed his relative prince Li Jiancheng!

"Sit." Zhu Qiyu pointed to the seat in front of him and said, "Yu Shangshu, I'm calling you here today because I have something to ask."

"Above the hall, Xu Youzhen said that many wealthy households in Gyeonggi, Shuntianfu, Beizhili, Shanxi, Henan and other places fled to the south in order to avoid military disasters?"

Chapter 8 There is a ghost inside!

Hearing this, Yu Qian also had a worried look on his face. He nodded and said, "His Royal Highness, it is true, but Your Highness knows one of them and does not know the other."

"The wealthy households and Jinshen fled to the south, causing the people to panic and feel uneasy, but where can the people travel long distances to Nanjing?"

"You need to prepare food for at least a year to travel thousands of miles, and when you arrive in the south, you don't get paid immediately. Houses, fields, money, and housing are all burdens. People who want to escape can't escape, so they can only stay, alas. ."

Zhu Qiyu seriously savored Yu Qian's remarks. The relocation cost not only included the entanglement on the road, but also the resettlement fee in the south.

These two sums of money were nothing to the wealthy and the gentry, but to the common people, the sky was falling.

"Yu Shangshu, who is aware of the people's feelings and knows the sufferings of the people, is it a word of kindness and kindness?" He said with emotion: "I just read that the emperor's body is the first, that is, the government must be for the people, the wife is the first of the country, and the country is the king. the book."

People are the precondition of the state, and the state is the foundation of the king.

Therefore, when Zhu Qizhen leads the party, he is digging his own foundation.

"His Royal Highness, the ancient books are as vast as the sea, and the minister thought that "Zizhi Tongjian" might as well be read." Yu Qian looked at the "Emperor Fan" and looked at it.

What does Zhu Qiyu want to do?It goes without saying that Yu Qian is not a fool.

"Zizhitongjian? I don't even look at it, I like this." Zhu Qiyu raised the "Emperor Fan" in his hand and said with great confirmation.

The study room fell into an eerie silence.

This is a round of negotiation, which is equivalent to the previous negotiation in the Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Sun's condition was to ensure that Zhu Qizhen survived as much as possible, and as the empress dowager, she would support Zhu Qiyu's ascension to the throne.

At this time, Zhu Qiyu's condition for Qian was that if he wanted him to be emperor, he would kill Zhu Qizhen.

Yu Qian looked at Zhu Qiyu's insistent attitude, and said with a slight sigh: "His Royal Highness King Yu, I have a brief note here, which is about the defeat of Tumubao, combined with the documents of the Ministry of War."

Zhu Qiyu took Yu Qian's memorial, which should have passed through Wenyuan Pavilion and then got to him, so he directly handed it to him, the guardian of the country.

It's not that Yu Qian doesn't understand the rules, or is intentionally breaking the rules.

In fact, his remarks are too outrageous.

【My emperor's ancestor was in the military, although the hereditary system was practiced, it actually contained the code of examination and selection; therefore, those who have meritorious service in the future can be promoted.Those who are not talented can be eliminated, and the method that is not easy in the world...]

The article analyzes the cause and effect of the Civil Fortress change in detail from several aspects, and it is necessary to reflect and summarize after the war.

But Yu Qian didn't even dare to let other scholars know about this matter, which shows that the matter is big.

"The armament is loose. Dongshengwei, Yulinwei, Xuandewei, Chahannaoerwei, Tianchengwei, Gaoshanwei have an army of [-] to [-] troops, Baibucun is four, and there are only five or six troops in the forehead guard? The general said. All dispatched?"

"The Governor Li Qian will always say in every battle: "Is there enough enemies to kill my ears?"

Zhu Qiyu felt a bit of a headache.

There are endless enemies, and fighting means killing our own people. This anti-war argument has many fans.

Yu Qian believes that the most important reason for the defeat of the Tumubao Incident is that apart from a Zhu Qizhen in Daming, the most important reason is the relaxation of military equipment.

This point, he asked once in Wenhua Hall, and Yu Qian made a memorial in the name of the left servant of the Ministry of War, talking about the relaxation of military equipment.

At that time, Yu Qian ambiguously did not say it so clearly. In this note, which was prepared for an unknown period of time, it listed his investigation report in detail.

Investigative report, good stuff.

Datong, the land of nine towns, is the first and most critical place when the battle begins.

There are only four out of one hundred troops in the guard, only twenty in the five hundred troops, and forty or fifty in the one thousand troops.

Is Yu Qian lying?Zhu Qiyu didn't believe it.

Also, the army is about to go south, and his behavior is more like flipping the table.

"Xun Qi Shuoye does not follow edicts to learn riding and archery, and does not go to court. Every morning at court, he says he will quit because of his illness. He is courting the gambler who is gambling. No sympathy."

After Zhu Qiyu finished reading the narration, his blood pressure went up, but he felt dizzy in front of him.

He took a few deep breaths, Xun Qi was a lieutenant general, and there was a roar of soldiers, a roar of roaring generals, and Ming's military equipment was relaxed. He had a little psychological warning, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

Low military quality, mediocre ability, corrupt life, good at eunuching young children, lax military discipline, lying about great victories, killing the good and taking advantage of others, demoralizing, ceding land without authorization, cowardly and decadent, selfish use, annexation of land, private sergeant, greedy and incompetent, Pieces of piles have names and surnames, clearly.

It made the fire in his heart grow stronger.

"What do you mean by yin-knot captives? Should you respond internally?" Zhu Qiyu opened the second book, and after reading this book, Zhu Qiyu slapped the table and stood up, gnashing his teeth.

[I only know that greed for profit to enrich my family, I don’t think about humiliation and humiliate the country; I don’t hear about the reality of the enemy’s situation; I don’t care about the great festivals of propriety and righteousness. 】

[When he returned to return his life, he repeated the use of false words, exaggerated the emperor, and wanted to deceive him; he even leaked the news, and the yin knot captured people, falsely reported the root and foot, and hoped for a reward. 】

[As a result, the foreigners are presumptuous, have the heart of underestimating China, and the border is uneasy, causing today's disaster. 】

Guo Jing, the eunuch guarding Datong and the great eunuch of the elders of the four dynasties, made firearms and steel feathers for tiles and smuggled arms every year.

Li Rang, the commander of Datong Wei, his daughter married the son of King Oara Datong. Li Rang was a man of Daming on the surface, but in fact, he was also a good son-in-law of Oara people.

Wang Wen, Shi Dai'er, Xi Ning, Wang Xi, Xiao Tian'er, Jia Shi Daozhen, etc. are all iron-clad proofs.

Zhu Qiyu stood up and stood in front of the window, panting hard. His head is buzzing all the time now, and that little self-cultivation effort has long since been lost.

As the emperor, Zhu Qizhen was the leader of the party, and the people he promoted and appointed were almost the same, a nest of ghosts.

He turned his head and said sharply, "Kill!"

Zhu Qiyu said with certainty: "Tomorrow, let Jin Yiwei go to Datong and Xuanfu to arrest these people in the capital, behead them outside the Meridian Gate and show them to the public, and personally imprison them."

"Don't persuade the solitary, this matter must be done regardless of the priority!"

I am afraid of everything, but Yu Qian persuaded him once in Fengtian Temple before, and he told Yu Qian directly not to persuade him.

The two devils are hated!

These Guo Jing, Xi Ning, and Xiao Tian'er are all eunuchs. Zhu Qiyu couldn't understand why these eunuchs were involved in smuggling, and they had access to foreign countries.

Yu Qian bowed his head and said, "The minister leads the order."

If Yu Qian really wanted to say something like putting the overall situation first, he wouldn't be ignored.

Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes for a long time and exhaled, and said, "His family members are detained for the same crime. If there is no real crime, they will all be exiled to Qiongzhou, and they will never return to the DPRK!"

Yu Qian pursed his lips, did not refute, let alone persuade, it was wartime, and it would not be too late to persuade the world after the battle was over.

If at that time, he still remembers this group of people.

Zhu Qiyu soon found out that the list of the defunct armaments and the yin-knot captives overlapped a lot. Yu Qian was actually talking about one thing.

The third memorial is about the specific process of the change of Tumu Fort, and the most important thing is who is the main person responsible for the disaster of Tumu Fort.

That is naturally Zhu Qizhen's number one eunuch, Wang Zhen, it can only be him Wang Zhen, can it be Zhu Qizhen, the wise and wise God of War? !

After all, the emperor does not stick to the pan.

But between the lines, Yu Qian still thinks that Zhu Qizhen is the first responsible person. Although he didn't say it clearly, this is already very outrageous.

Chapter 9 Change of imperial power, bloody storm

Zhu Qiyu looked at the long marching memorial and made one thing clear, his brother is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

When British Duke Zhang Fu was planning a personal expedition in Zhu Qizhen, he strongly opposed it, and even gave specific reasons for "the autumn and summer have not yet returned, the drought has not returned, the grass is not abundant, the water and spring are still blocked, and the soldiers are in fierce battle." Zhu Qizhen, this battle is more auspicious and less.
