I am the king of the dead

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and said: "In the third year of Jingtai, the three kings teamed up with the rebels to rebel, and the seven provinces of Nanya were full of smoke. Whenever I think about it, I toss and turn, and it is difficult to fall asleep."

"That day, under the Heaven and Earth Altar, before the Xiaoling Mausoleum, the three kings were bestowed with death, and I was heartbroken but had to do it."

"I think of the friendship between relatives and relatives, and ordered the kings to come to Beijing to make offerings, so as not to be deceived and used by villains. Now that all the kings have come to Beijing, I think that the kingdoms have existed in name only, so I abolished the vassal state."

Zhu Qiyu's words were righteous on the surface, but in essence they were extremely shameless.

He used the name of family friendship and Jingtai's three years of nonsense to talk about things, which essentially forced the officials to be speechless. The officials talked a lot, but they could not object, otherwise it would not mean that they had ghosts in their hearts and were always ready to rebel. thing?

Of the ten deadly crimes that are not punishments, rebellion is the first crime. If you stick to it, you will lose your head, and if it is serious, it will bring disaster to the whole family.

Shen Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was overjoyed when he heard about it. The offerings allocated to the kings every year, and many acres of land attached to the palaces of the kings, caused the Ming Dynasty to suffer a huge loss of funds.

If His Majesty abolishes the vassal state, he can work harder on Zhengfu.

"Does anyone have any objections to this purpose?" After Zhu Qiyu finished asking, he looked around and saw no objection before nodding and said: "Let's send Wenyuan Pavilion rumors everywhere."

The essence of the vassal state is the enfeoffment system, while the rule of the Ming Dynasty is based on the prefecture and county system. The enfeoffment system and the prefecture and county system have conflicts and complementary opposites.

The ministers kept silent, because this matter was, firstly, the emperor's family affair, and secondly, it was His Majesty's negligence.

At the beginning of His Majesty's ascension to the throne, the Oirat army besieged the capital. In the first year of his ascension, he killed his elder brother, King Jili. In the third year, there were three kings who rebelled. Discussing with His Majesty the friendship between relatives and the responsibility of the fence is really a light on Go to the toilet and court death.

"If there is something to do, start playing and leave the court if there is nothing to do." Xing'an flicked his whisk to continue the court discussion in Fengtian Palace.

Cao Jing, the governor of Shaanxi, reported that 2000 people died of frost and plague in Xi'an and Pingliang in April.

Li Xian, governor of Yingtian, and Li Binyan, governor of Songjiang, reported more than [-] plague deaths in Changzhou, Zhenjiang, and Songjiang prefectures.

This memorial made Zhu Qiyu furious.

Two thousand people died in the barren land of the two prefectures of Shaanxi, and 7000 people died in Songjiang, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, the fertile land of the three prefectures.

Zhu Qiyu immediately ordered Li Xian and Li Binyan to order Li Xian and Li Bin to say that the two governors were unfavorable in their inspections.

Xu Youzhen worked more than 8000 laborers on the Wujiang River, and dredged [-] dangerous shoals.

The prices of tung oil, panax notoginseng, coal, and copper materials in the interior began to drop, while the prices of grain, salt and iron, silk, satin, and cloth in the southwest fell sharply.

After Xu Youzhen was busy with water control of the Wujiang River, she went straight to the Chongqing government without stopping, and began to supervise the dredging of the [-]-mile main waterway without stopping for a moment.

Xu Youzhen took a boat from Liuzhi Special Zone down the Wujiang River, and crossed the river with her body to open the way. A large number of people knelt down and cried bitterly along the way.

Xu Youzhen's Ten Thousand Peoples Umbrella received soft hands, and there were shrines for living people everywhere, just like when he left Jing'an Hetao.

"This Xu Youzhen wants to clean up all my miraculous merit cards!" Zhu Qiyu asked Xing'an to draw up an imperial edict to award one miraculous merit card, nearly a hundred top merit cards, [-] Qili cards and a reward .

In addition to submitting a letter of merit, Xu Youzhen also begged to select 8000 of the 2 people to be included in the navy.

These 2 people are very experienced in flood control, and being included in the engineering battalion is not Xu Youzhen's personal affair, but a state affair.

Zhu Qiyu Zhu approved Xu Youzhen's memorial.

Xu Youzhen is ambitious and not good at dogfighting in court, so she is indeed a good player when he is released to control the water.

He Zhang stood up, holding the wat board in one hand, and shouted loudly with the other hand empty: "Your Majesty, I have a copy of the report, and I request that the supervisor strictly enforce the ban!"

The Metropolitan Procuratorate cannot continue to be so rotten, and if it continues to rot, His Majesty will really get rid of it!

Chapter 616 "General Annals of the Universe"

Zhu Qiyu looked at He Zhang, no matter what happened to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with He Zhang.

He Zhang once used two words to offend Zhu Qiyu. At the beginning, Emperor Da Tian even thought about chopping up He Zhang.

Back then when He Zhang impeached Hu Wei for being immoral, Hu Wei accepted the sarcasm frankly. Later, during the Beijing inspection, He Zhang was sent to Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan as the censor. Before leaving Beijing, Liu Ji practiced for He Zhang, and He Zhang drank a lot Yes, I said a word: double it.

How to undermine the New Deal is not to violate the decree on the surface, but to redouble its implementation in the name of loyalty to the emperor.

For example, the matter of the special zone of the Ming Dynasty’s official factory is really double. With the prohibition of cutting mountains and cutting rocks, Daming will immediately become a replica of the Great Song Dynasty. Two hundred Wen buys a catty of coal to fry. It's a decoration.

In the 13th year of Wanli, after Zhang Juzheng's death, Emperor Wanli felt that the wind had stopped and the rain had stopped, and he did it again, abolishing Zhang Juzheng's series of new policies including the examination method and the one-whip method.

Only three years later, Emperor Wanli noticed that something was wrong. He couldn't collect money, and he couldn't collect rice and grain. The food money in the national treasury decreased like a flood.

Emperor Wanli put his idea on the Xishan Coal Kiln, intending to take a share of the pie. In the name of the inner carrier's inability to make ends meet, and in the name of the Qianqing Palace, he set up more than 600 mines in the official kiln. Some people don't want to.

With firewood, rice, oil and salt, the word firewood is at the head, and there are millions of people in the capital, how much coal is needed for this day?How huge are the benefits?

Emperor Wanli originally planned to share a piece of the pie, but as soon as the official kiln of the Qianqing Palace was established, people immediately began to exchange the coal kiln in their hands for the emperor, almost giving half of it.

The Emperor Wanli, Long Yan, was delighted. As a result, the opening of wells and coal mining had just begun, and the price of coal in the capital was rising day by day.

The courtiers played every day to request the emperor to be rich and noble, not to compete with the people for profit; the coal dug up by the kilns piled up all day long, but the coal mines in Xishan had no money to pay for their labor; the capital was short of coal and charcoal, and even people froze to death news.

The emperor opened the mine himself, and there was a lot of chicken feathers.

In the end, Emperor Wanli had no choice but to compromise. He banned the official kilns of the Qianqing Palace, set up a tax supervisor at Lugou Bridge to collect points, and stopped digging coal by himself.

The tax supervisor continued to make trouble for decades, and it was not until the Tianqi year that the eunuchs of the tax supervisors and eunuchs of the world were taken back, and the matter was considered to be settled.

Emperor Wanli was defeated in the battle, he had bad legs and feet, and when he was in New Year's Eve, he received a letter from the imperial censor who called him the emperor by name and surname. .

Emperor Wanli was furious and provoked Shen Shixing to play against him.

Shen Shixing was the chief assistant of Wenyuan Pavilion, and also Zhang Juzheng's second official at the beginning. Originally, Shen Shixing's character was far less strong than Zhang Juzheng's, and his temper was a day-to-day one. Even more unwilling to clean up for Emperor Wanli.

Shen Shixing likes to make friends and mediate.

Emperor Wanli did not go to court for 30 years, and the three major Wanli campaigns were the last twilight of the Ming Dynasty. Afterwards, Nurhachi was defeated in the Battle of Sarhu, and the decline of the Ming Dynasty was forged.

After Emperor Wanli lost Zhang Juzheng, he couldn't compete with his officials at all, and he couldn't see clearly, so he didn't go to court at all.

On the contrary, it is a terrible method.

He Zhang is clear about this kind of matter, but as the chief constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the leader of the Qing Dynasty, He Zhang has never reached out in this regard, let alone lead others to do it.

"Yes, Zongxian He will do his best." Zhu Qiyu looked at He Zhang's half-empty sleeve, wondering if this one-armed hero could clean up the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Yu Qian, Hu Wei, He Zhang and others judged correctly, and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was gradually losing patience with the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The entire Ming Dynasty is in the summer preface, full of vitality, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate buries itself in the winter preface all day long, unable to keep up.

What He Zhang said about the prohibition of Shen Yan's seeing off and welcoming the supervisor is to strictly prohibit passing officials from welcoming and sending them off.

The governors, town guards, local third divisions, prefects, county magistrates, food officials, etc. all over the country are like bandits crossing the border, even worse than bandits.

For example, when the governor of a place goes to a local inspection, according to the current atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty, at least thirty to fifty li should be greeted and sent, like the governor, town guard, and the three local divisions, at least a hundred miles away.

Post stations and magistrates have to prepare food, drink, fun, and good-looking services, and when they leave, they have to seal a thick road ticket and talk about their hearts.

No matter how thick it is, it is at least a thousand taels of base.

These are delicious, delicious, fun, and good-looking, and the road costs are expensive, and they are [-]% popular.

He Zhang found a very troublesome matter. This matter is very difficult to handle, but if it can be handled well, it can indeed clear up the atmosphere of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then the Ming Dynasty's bureaucracy can be improved to a higher level.

Zhu Qiyu also has great confidence in He Zhang. This man has means, scheming, and ability, and he can use it in the right place.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." He Zhang returned to his seat, looked at the golden miracle card on his chest, which was obtained by his merits, not by his arms, and he straightened his back.

Now that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is in his hands, he will never let these insects go on doing nothing like this!

Zhu Qiyu didn't blame He Zhang as an opinion leader before, using the debate between Hua and Yi to stir up trouble, just disagreeing with his political opinions, admonishing, this is the duty of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it is the simple point of view of many courtiers and Ming people.

It is the job of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to write letters on the bus and clear the way. If He Zhang dare not even express this level of opinion, he is not worthy of the position of chief constitution.

"Your minister has the instructions." Six people including Ni Jing, Sheng Chang, Du You, Huang Rang, Luo Jun, and Wang Qing, the supervisory censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, stood up. Ni Jing said loudly: "The wealth of the treasury should not be given without reason , sightseeing should not be done out of time."

Zhu Qiyu looked around and found that these supervisory censors are all from the imperial court. These two sentences are very good, don't give property casually, travel and play, you can't do it out of time, you can't go outing without admiring the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival, right? ?

Qingliu is always like this, talking nonsense that seems reasonable and treats the emperor as a fool.

Zhu Qiyu patiently listened to the nagging of the five censors.

Ni Jing continued to bow his head and said: "In the past, I used to eat monks, and I often gave out money to exchange rice. I don't know how to help the poor who are facing the wind and rain, and the poor who are in a hurry?"

"Recently, they have made dragon boats, built swallow rooms, and set up lantern markets. The camps have increased day by day, and there have been a lot of fun. This is not the way to raise saints."

This is to accuse Zhu Qiyu of spending too much on Qingming, Chongyang, and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Zhu Qiyu was a little impatient. He didn't touch a penny of the domestic money or the national money. He spent his own money to make the people have a lively Mid-Autumn Festival. Is there something wrong?

I didn't eat their rice again!

Ni Jing continued to speak loudly: "I beg you to stop the offering of the Sang family, stop the banquet and enjoy the lost entertainment, stop the work of the work, and let the prisoner be lenient. This is also what Baizhao's sages do!"

Daming's memorials are indeed all classical Chinese, and Daming's memorials don't even have a period or a comma.

Because it is an official document, the official document must have its seriousness. Zhu Qiyu promotes the vulgar language, but never requires the official document to use the vulgar characters.

But Ming Dynasty's non-official melodies are basically vulgar words, only these clear streams like to stick to words like this.

Sangmen, in fact, are Buddhists, Taoists, monks, and Taoists. To stop the offering of Sangmen means to stop giving money to monks and Taoists, and use the money to help victims of disasters and do business.

Zhu Qiyu drove Zen Master Yang, the national teacher of Dalongxing Temple during the orthodox period, to Mobei to reform Wala, and then overturned the entire Dalongxing Temple into the current place of five halls.

There is nothing wrong with stopping the offering of Sangmen.

As for Yan Yi Zhi's entertainment, Zhu Qiyu was so busy every day that he scratched his head, how could there be any entertainment, he set up a headlight to make the people lively, and he didn't even take a look at it himself.

"All requests are accepted." Zhu Qiyu sat up straight and looked at Ni Jing, the five censors, and agreed to Ni Jing's request.

Zhu Qiyu leaned on the throne, and looked at the five censors with disdainful eyes. He had already approved the invitations of several people, but judging by his posture, it seemed that he still had something to say.

Sure enough, as Zhu Qiyu expected, Ni Jing came out and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty's "Huan Yu Tong Zhi" has not been completed for a long time, and it has taken a lot of money. I ask for an order to stop this matter."

Universal Annals, in the first year of Jingtai, Chen Xun, a scholar of Wenyuange University, asked to compile the book, according to the classification of the 16 provinces of the two capitals, to establish history, county names, mountains and rivers, shapes, customs, local products, historic sites, figures, households, Ding, etc. 32 The door records a chronicle book written by Da Ming.

Later, Chen Xun became an official because of the matter of begging for the bones of Confucian robes to go to the palace. This matter fell on Shang Ren's head. Huang Guan, who was ranked first in Sanyuan, was canceled by Zhu Di.

Zhu Qiyu said with a sneer: "This matter has been going on for seven years, and it will be the eighth year soon. There are more than 190 volumes in the book, and it will be finished soon. You told me that in order to save money, this matter should be dismissed. Then what about my previous work?" Isn’t money wasted for nothing?”

Because the Ming Dynasty has newly joined Jing'an and Ryukyu provinces, it is indeed a lot of trouble to repair it. Shang Ren has tried his best. As for spending money, it is really not much money. It took less than seven years. 20 silver coins.

Ni Jing seemed to know what the emperor wanted to say, bowed his head and said: "I am incompetent and will not be appointed to the Hanlin. I don't know if the book will be completed. I am guilty of the crime. Please forgive me."

"Just, Your Majesty, who should be the author of this book?"

Zhu Qiyu frowned, he seemed to have tasted a lot, he said with a smile: "Shang Ren presided over the compilation, so it is naturally named after Shang Ren."

Ni Jing quickly asked and answered: "Where did Chen Xun and Chen Fangzhou get their name? This "Huan Yu Tong Zhi" was not compiled overnight, but it was compiled and compiled by Chen Xun according to the topography collected during the Yongle period."

Zhu Qiyu really looked like this. The purpose of these five censors was to use the way of saving money for Daming to make a detour of nine turns and eighteen turns to lead to the matter of Chen Xun.

The Tongzhi of Huanyu is the annals of the Ming Dynasty. If it is signed by Chen Xun, it is a book compiled by the imperial court. Naturally, Chen Xun must be given an official position, so Chen Xun needs to be recalled to the imperial court and appointed as an official. After the Confucian robe went to the palace, Zhu Qiyu did not abolish Chen Xun's fame.

In fact, Chen Xun is that kind of old pedant, even though he became an official from the imperial court, he has been serving as a teacher in the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Academy.

Back then, when Zhu Qiyu abolished the title of Emperor Jili Wang Taishang, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Jianshen was abolished as Crown Prince. Wang Zhi refused to sign at that time, but it was Chen Xun who pressed Wang Zhi's hand to sign.

Chen Xun is a minister of the dragon at any rate, if he knows how to repent, it is all right to call Chen Xun back.

Although Zhu Qiyu was particularly annoyed by Chen Xun's nagging, Chen Xunxiu's Huanyu Tongzhi did make a contribution.

The book was completed, and without these censors forcing Lai Lai, Zhu Qiyu would also call Chen Xun back and sign his name on the Huanyu Tongzhi. It is said that he is the king of locks all his life.

Zhu Qiyu became more and more irritable, and said sharply: "In the future, you can say whatever you want, what are you doing in such a big circle?!"

He couldn't understand the way these censors spoke in circles, this was the second time.

"Retreat!" Zhu Qiyu didn't bother to pay attention to these five people, stood up and flicked his sleeves, and chose to retreat.

Zhu Qiyu was worried that more than [-] people died of the plague in the three prefectures of Songjiang, Changde, and Zhenjiang. After the court meeting was over, he immediately went to the Wenhua Palace for a court meeting.

If this plague spreads wildly in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Xian and Li Binyan will not be as simple as being reprimanded.

Zhu Qiyu had to kill them to thank the world.

As a pigeon breeder in Daming and the controller of Pigeon Road, Yu Qian has a deep understanding of the epidemic situation in the three places.

Shen Yi put both hands together, and did not leak any water. Zhu Qi was worried that Shen Yi did not understand the overall situation, but when the court discussion started, Shen Yi was extremely generous in appeasement of the plague this time. , everything should be done.

Shen Yi is not stupid, quarreling with the internal funds is a matter of pennies, which is the responsibility of the Ministry of Finance, if the appeasement is messed up, and there are riots, he, the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, has just become a regular, I am afraid that he will end up doing it.

Shen Yi stood up quite excitedly, and said loudly with a ferocious face: "Your Majesty, I think you still have to be under military control!"

"The chief minister has paid out food and money. When we get to the local area, the local gentry and local officials are working together. How much of this money and food! Can it fall into the hands of the people?"

"I believe in His Majesty's Beijing Army, and even more in His Majesty's Tianzi Tiqi. I don't trust these local officials."

"Military control, Your Majesty!"

During the court discussion, Shen Yi was extremely aggressive, he was too stingy, even more stingy than Jin Lian, Zhu Qiyu and Shen Yi were extremely headaches when dealing with him, saying that he was a brave man who could only get in and out.

The money, grain, households, and state funds were paid out, but it was not used in the right place, and he refused to agree to 1.
