I am the king of the dead

The new nobles all looked left and right, and kept silent. Yu Qian was not in the capital and they quarreled with each other.

The old nobles watched their noses and noses with their eyes and minds, just like old monks in meditation, without saying a word.

Inside Fengtian Hall, there was a strange silence for a while, everyone pretended to be confused with understanding.

Why?

Yu Qian didn't express his position, and neither did His Majesty. They were really a little uncertain.

Seeing this, Xing'an came out from the corner again, and shouted loudly: "There is something to play, nothing to retreat to."

In the current state, everyone is holding back their words, but no one dares to speak.

Yu Qian was even more unmoved. Since His Majesty has his own decision, he will naturally not interfere too much.

Xu Youzhen stomped her feet, her heart beat, and she bowed her head when she came out of the class and said, "Your Majesty, I have a book to play."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Zou."

Is Xu Youzhen going to take the lead in the charge?

Xu Youzhen continued to speak loudly: "Shandong Yanggu, the Shawan River section has been breached for more than four years, and the [-] or so rulers have returned without success. The floods are torrential and people's livelihood is depressed, and the people leave their homes in panic, like a dog that has lost its home!"

"Your Majesty dares to ask for an order. Please send me to build a dam on the Shawan River to show His Majesty's grace."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were taken aback for a moment, but Xu Youzhen actually talked about water control, not about the list of martial arts halls.

Zhu Qiyu was also quite concerned about this matter. He thought about it seriously and said: "I have read Xu Qing's water control plan in detail, and carefully checked it with Zhang Qiu County Magistrate's memorandum in Shandong, and everything makes sense."

"However, I still think that when Xu Qing went to the place, he made a further on-the-spot investigation and made empty talk to harm the country. After the investigation, he made a specific memorial. The material and financial resources needed have been reported according to the facts. It is a contribution to the livelihood of the people."

Xu Youzhen bowed to the ground and shouted loudly: "I will do my best to live up to the emperor's kindness."

What kindness?

Grace not to kill.

Xu Youzhen shouted for Nanqian before, and she was a die-hard member of the Yinggui faction. If she hadn't been able to control the water, she would have been beheaded and skinned a long time ago, and hung on the Chengtian Gate.

Water control is a unique skill, if this errand is done well, at least one's life can be saved.

Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and the merit of raising the people is a great achievement.

Xu Youzhen didn't ask for more, she saved her own life and the lives of her family members.

Xu Youzhen returned to the train and stopped talking.

Standing in the courtroom, Yu Qian obviously involved everyone's core interests, but they were all silent, and no one dared to speak.

Silent as a cicada.

In case Yu Qian wanted to kill him, Xu Youzhen, how could there be fate?

Xu Youzhen didn't want to be in the court anymore. The emperor he was loyal to had done too many embarrassing things in Yibei.

Of course, this was entirely Xu Youzhen's overthinking.

How could Yu Qian have time to talk to him.

As soon as Xu Youzhen opened his mouth, other censors soon stood up and bowed their heads and said: "Chen Fuzong said, "Jiaozhi surrenders to a hundred households of local officials. There are elephant soldiers at Jiaozhi. You can choose elephants to practice and make saddles and armor for them. Chen Fuzong said that he would like to lead the army to ride elephants and use it to break the bandits."

Like soldiers?

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Marquis Shi Zongbing of Wuqing, you can test whether this elephant soldier is useful, and write a memorial."

"The minister takes the order." Shi Heng came out to take the order.

The north is not suitable for elephants to live, the weather is too cold, and it is really difficult to form elephant soldiers in the north.

Another imperial censor bowed his head and said: "I have this report, and the Qintian Supervisor has been hanging for a long time. Before that, the capital was busy with defense. The official of the Qintian Supervisor thought that the supervisor was Xu Dun, and he made a lot of achievements."

This is a matter for the officials, Wang Zhi went out and said: "I think that Xu Dun's family has a long history of learning. Since the Yuan Dynasty, he has been a family of stargazers. He pushes the calendar in his hands, sets the four o'clock, and engraves omissions in his palm. He has a lot of means. I think it is good. "

Zhu Qiyu took the memorials from Xing'an, Xu Dun is indeed a source of family knowledge, their family has been the five-official calendar of the Sitian Supervisor since the Song Dynasty, and their family has participated in the calendars of all dynasties.

Belonging to the kind of stargazing family that has been passed down for generations, the astronomer through and through.

"Sure." Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.

Chen Ruyan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, came out and said: "Yang Hong, Marquis of Changping, Shi Heng, Marquis of Wuqing, and Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War, jointly signed a letter requesting that they be removed from the military ranks above the military governor and above the four-rank civil service rewards, and use their silver to reward the officers and soldiers."

"The money saved can be used to prepare the flag army in Beijing and reward him with a tael of silver. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, the sergeants also need to spare New Year's goods for the New Year, so this is my request."

Zhu Qiyu blinked and looked around at the generals. They were still calm. This kind of flesh-cutting must have been approved beforehand, and everyone agreed to sign the letter.

The military officers had no opinion, but the civil servants were talking about it.

Hu Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out, glanced at Yu Qian and bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate."

"Military commanders and above, going out to the army, buying clothes and clothing, consume a lot of money and food for daily life, and how much food is spent. I think that it is appropriate for officials of all sizes to be exempted from rewards."

What Hu Wei meant was that the rewards for military posts were given, but the rewards for civilian posts were all exempted and distributed to the sergeants guarding the city.

Zhu Qiyu smacked his lips seriously, this Hu Yan is really an old fox.

Is Hu Yan sincere?

In fact, when opposing a decree, one does not completely negate it, but partially agrees with it.

This world has always been like this, there is no unevenness, if you remove the reward of civil service alone, it will be extremely unfair.

Although these civil servants are crying, but they have organized the people in the city and provided logistics for the army outside the city, so they have no credit at all?

As soon as Hu Wei's words came out, the civil servants immediately began to whisper to each other.

Xing'an glanced at His Majesty, and immediately said loudly: "Quiet."

Zhu Qiyu sat up straight, and said with a smile: "Zongbing Yang, Zongbing Shi, and Yu Shaobao also have good intentions, but since I have already set a reward, how can I avoid it?"

"As for the matter of adding silver to the officers and soldiers and adding one tael of silver, I'm out."

Regarding the matter of 22 taels of silver, he is now holding the inner transport warehouse and talking out of anger.

Yu Qian came out and said: "I am a servant of 22 military households in the Beijing camp. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

The purchasing power of one tael of silver is extremely strong, and one mu of land is only four taels of silver.

Zhu Qiyu nodded to signal Yu Qian to return to the column.

"The minister has a book to play!" Zhang Wei, the younger brother of the British Duke Zhang Fu, came out and said loudly: "The capital lecture hall has been fully prepared, but the list of the first batch of students has not been confirmed for a long time. I think it is a matter of fact. Big body, please Your Majesty's order!"

The main course is finally here!

Shi Heng stood up immediately, and said without hesitation: "I have drawn up a list based on meritorious deeds, and please read it, Your Majesty!"

The Ministry of War and the new nobles stood together. They said that they declined the reward, but they actually wanted to please the emperor and asked His Majesty to confirm their list.

The emperor is unpredictable, mysterious all day long, living above the Nine Heavens, and mortals are all ants, which can certainly strengthen the emperor's prestige.

For example, Emperor Jiajing was like this. He didn't go to court for more than 20 years, but he passed Yan Song and controlled the universe. Of course, doing so would easily be called Jiajing Jiajing by a clean stream like Hai Rui, and his house was clean.

It is also Chen Xun's previous set, the owner's likes and dislikes cannot be observed, and if they can be measured, the traitor can attach himself.

But Zhu Qiyu believes that the emperor can occasionally reveal his likes and dislikes.

For example, Zhu Qiyu pays attention to the daily life of soldiers and people's livelihood in the world. This kind of likes and dislikes also have positive significance.

If there is something good on the top, it will be great on the bottom.

At least Zhu Qiyu's likes and dislikes are good news for the common people and soldiers at the bottom.

This time, the Ministry of War and the Xinxuns don't even want their own rewards, just to match their preferences, and hope that this list can be approved by His Majesty Zhu.

Chapter 1 Chapter Seven

Zhu Qiyu looked at the list in his hand, but smiled without saying a word.

Zhang Fu flicked his sleeves and said loudly: "I have eight opinions in the Ming Dynasty. This is the rule set by Emperor Taizu Gao. I just want to ask you if you draw up the list based on meritorious service. Wang Fa!"

"Your Majesty, I think that the list of martial arts lectures in the capital should be discussed eight times before making meritorious deeds!"

Shi Heng is a rough man, he can't argue with the classics, he stares angrily, extremely angry, but can't speak.

Chen Ruyan is the servant of the Ministry of War. Although he had an affair with Xu Youzhen, it was just an affair.

This matter involved the interests of the Ministry of War, so he naturally argued with reason: "The rewards and punishments of the king's law are not the same for the rich and the poor, and then they will be punished with the same etiquette system."

"However, because of the relationship between relatives and relatives, the domineering monarch judges public cases based on personal feelings, and the subjects of the world can only die because of their faults!"

"This is the law that has lost the king!"

The king's law is the fairness on which the greatest hope is placed in the world. Naturally, no distinction between high and low, rich and poor can be achieved in order to be able to complete the ritual system and clarify the canonical punishment.

If only relatives and old friends are discussed, and the king judges public cases only because of private affairs, all the ministers and workers in the world will only die of injustice because of minor disasters.

What Chen Ruyan said had some truth to it. The Great Ming Law protected the Eight Discussions, and there were many troubles at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, Zhang Juzheng's father died in humiliation in the Liao Palace. Zhang Juzheng served as the chief assistant, abolished the Liao King's lineage, and stopped the family's salary.

During the ten years from Longqing to Wanli, 17 years, the clansmen in the world did not have a stone salary to receive.

Coupled with the Xungui World Voucher and Bayi Asylum, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, death due to grievances due to Xianjie's faults abound.

Zhang Min rolled up his sleeves. This Chen Ruyan is a Jinshi, and Zhang Min is no longer his opponent in the matter of debating classics.

He said angrily: "Okay, you've made a big move. You've been shaking your lips and tongue to the extreme. The relationship between relatives is a family relationship. Do you still have His Majesty in your eyes? I will teach you etiquette and dignity today!"

Shi Heng shook his head, he stood up in his prime, and said with a smile: "Oh, is that so? Chen Ruyan is a scholar, not so-and-so."

"I'm also one of the nobles, come on."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head again and again, and almost stood up to let Lu Zhong pull everyone out.

Fengtian Hall is noisy, how decent it is.

He already has a practical solution, and now he has the mentality of standing on the dry bank to watch the excitement, so naturally he also watches them make noise.

Standing with a knife in his hand, Lu Zhong came out and said, "No noise is allowed in Fengtian Hall. If there is any noise, please move outside the hall."

Seeing this farce, His Majesty had no intention of stopping it at all, and coughed lightly before Shi Heng returned to the class and glanced at Zhang Min provocatively.

Although Zhang Yu was unwilling, Yu Qian had already spoken out, and it would not look good to continue making trouble.

Although he is an honored relative, the Chinese military governor's mansion has no soldiers now, and the 22 people in the Beijing camp are not under his control.

If you continue to make trouble, you will lose face to Yu Qian.

Yu Qian sighed heavily, this is not the court he wanted, this kind of nonsense words representing the interests of a certain party should not come from Ting Wenwu's mouth.

But isn't the court like this?

He took a deep breath, stepped out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, nothing in the world is selfish, and no one is selfish. At the beginning of life, everyone is selfish, and everyone is selfish!"

"Only His Majesty is the only one who has public ears!"

Zhu Qiyu was watching the excitement, and Yu Qian stood up and said some inexplicable words.

All affairs in the world are private affairs, and there is no one who is not selfish. This is human nature from birth.

But the emperor alone cannot be selfish.

What do you mean?This is watching the excitement, how did the flames of war burn to my forehead?

Yu Qian continued to say loudly: "Your Majesty, there is public interest in the world and there is no way to promote it, and there is public harm and no way to get rid of it."

"Don't take one's own benefit as a benefit to make the world benefit from it, and don't take one's own harm to make the world release its harm."

Zhu Qiyu could understand Yu Qian's words, and he was talking about a very reasonable and simple truth to Zhu Qiyu.

Things in the world, things that are beneficial to the public, but no one promotes them.

There is no one to get rid of things that are harmful to the public.

There is such a person who comes out, he does not regard his own interests as his own interests, but makes the whole world benefit;

Don't take your own misfortune as a misfortune, but save the world from misfortune.

This person can only be the emperor.

This is also in line with Yu Qian's previous statement that the country is the most important and the king is the least.

Zhu Qiyu carefully tasted this passage, and suddenly discovered that Yu Qian is actually a die-hard royalist.

All people are selfish, only the emperor is not.

What is that emperor?Saints too!
