I am the king of the dead

After Zhao Guangyi became the Gaoliang River God of War, knowing that he could not get Yanyun back, he figured out an evil way to dig the whole of North China into a swamp, wouldn't the cavalry be unable to enter?

For example, the famous Baiyangdian was dug out by Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi was so clever that he ignored the fact that the water would freeze in winter, and even the Yellow River could be crossed on horseback. The dug out swamp and silt were meaningless in military terms, but they were of great political significance.

You have dug the swamp and silted up the beach, so you must be actively preparing for the battle to prevent the iron hoof from going south!

Politically, this is manipulation on the same level as all support other than help.

How to define political manipulation?

That is to say, what is said is completely opposite to what is done. It is neither division nor defiance, but the complete opposite. This is political manipulation.

For example, Shen Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, wished to embroider the Beidou flag, which symbolizes the opening of the Ming Dynasty, on his clothes, but he secretly encountered various obstacles, such as not passing the accounts supervised by Li Binyan and Tang Xing's official ship, not assigning and dispatching boatmen, Using all kinds of excuses to prevaricate and use all means to stop Daming's official ship and official business is manipulation.

Of course, Shen Yi, who has created a breeding population that never adds money, has already tossed himself to the opposite side of the interests of being powerful and covering up the extravagant households. up.

Shen Yi only cares about whether His Majesty's internal funds will be shared with the national funds, as long as the accounts are shared, then everything is easy to talk about, even if it is [-] to [-] points, the imperial court gets three, and the internal funds seven, the imperial court can make money.

Of course, according to the agreement with Uncle Mu Yang back then, Zhu Qiyu is still five-five, and most of the internal funds are used as strategic reserves, and he rarely uses them.

What to eat and drink in Tai'an Palace?

Most of the expenses of the harem of Tai'an Palace are paid for by Ran Siniang's private account, which means that Zhu Qiyu is eating on Ran Siniang's soft food.

What is it for the emperor to do this?

The king of subjugation.

"When we arrived at Hu Yuan, Yuan Dadu was surrounded by pastures, and Nanhaizi became the place where Hu Yuanxun's nobles trained Haidongqing to catch them. The dilapidated high platform over there was called Hanging Terrace, just to let the nobles The Haidongqing rests, and the feathers wet with sweat and dew are dried." Zhu Qiyu often comes to Nanhaizi, and he knows this place like a treasure, and he introduces every scene and thing here to Ran Siniang in detail.

Zhu Qiyu came to Dahongmen, looked at the masonry walls and gates, and continued: "In the ninth year of Yongle, the South Tucheng was built here, which is the same as the Beitu City outside Desheng Gate and Xitu City outside Xizhimen. Since then, this place has become Huangzhuang, which is the paddock for hunting and practicing martial arts during the Yongle period, and the capital is called Nanyuan."

"It has been abandoned since the reign of Hongxi, and then it was used by me to house the family members of the marquis of Duntai Yuanhou."

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian, the king of subjugation, stayed here on the last day of being the King of Xin, waiting for the toss in the court, and when the toss in the court is clear, the Minister of Rites will come out of the city to welcome Zhu Youjian to enter the capital and become the emperor .

"Did you see that group of wild children over there? That's odd zero households, fractions other than integers." Zhu Qiyu looked outside another paddock, where a group of children were running wildly.

Their faces were dirty, the dirty scabs on their faces were cracked, and after being frozen again, they were red with black, and there were some cracks in the black, and their clothes were even more filthy, so black that they couldn't see the original color.

"If Zhu Yu hadn't been adopted by me, he would look like this today." Zhu Qiyu watched those children run wildly, feeling a lot.

He is the emperor, and he often comes to Nanhaizi. In recent months, every time he comes, he can see these children without father and mother who eat hundreds of meals. These children can eat hundreds of meals, but who will control them? How about making them thrive?

Ran Siniang said in astonishment: "The heir of Duntai Yuanhou, how could he look like this?"

Who in the imperial court doesn't know how much His Majesty attaches importance to the Marquis of Duntai Yuanhou?As soon as the imperial study room of the Jiangwu hall looked up, there was a portrait of the marquis of Yuantai Yuan who went to war.

"It's not bad to be able to eat enough to survive." Zhu Qiyu said with a slightly painful expression: "I used to distribute pensions to the family members of Duntai Yuanhou according to the usual practice, but some of these family members will remarry. Then these children, It becomes a drag bottle."

"The pension becomes a dowry, the mother is married, and the child has no father, no mother, and this is what it looks like."

Ran Siniang frowned even more in confusion and asked, "Is there no other way?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Yes, the Nantu City Nursing Home has been built, and these children can move to a new home after the new year."

A phenomenon can be summed up as a problem. To find out the cause of the problem and come up with a set of solutions is only a matter of argumentation. When it comes time to implement it, it has to be checked one by one.

Every decree is delayed, obviously lagging behind.

8 Chapter Fifty: To be an emperor, is talent or education important?

"Da Ming has a custom of mourning husbands and keeping filial piety. Even if relatives who don't accept them at night, Daming can only take care of these mothers for three years. After three years, even public order and good customs can't restrain these mothers." Zhu Qiyu looked at these unrestrained mothers. The odd households with no parents, and the children with mothers who love them over there, all of them have new jackets and their faces are flushed, the difference is very big.

It is in recent years that the family members who do not accept at night have married some, and this is how children with chilblains appear.

Ran Siniang shivered, she finally understood why His Majesty would ask in the car if she had any friends in the Embroidery Building before. In terms of feelings, Ran Siniang is a little naive after all, she is not only Zhu Qiyu's relative, but also the mother of the child .

Zhu Qiyu continued: "The Ministry of Household Affairs said that the pension should be paid on a monthly or annual basis, or that the pension should be put into the nursing home, but I will deny it."

Ran Siniang was a little puzzled, the household department's idea was quite good, she asked suspiciously: "Isn't this very good? Since they remarried, why should they take this pension away as a dowry?"

Zhu Qiyu looked at Ran Siniang's puzzled expression, and explained: "It's the money for the life of the marquis of Duntai Yuan. Every time the money for life passes through someone's hands, it will be covered with a layer of oil. It will be given on a monthly basis, and finally As a result, the pension will not fall into the hands of the child, nor will it fall into the hands of the mother."

"Moreover, those who choose to remarry are a minority, not a majority."

Many things in this world are like this, it is obvious that this is the case, but this fact is contrary to the truth, such a scene is not uncommon, and it is obvious that giving it on a monthly basis will avoid this situation, but Zhu Qiyu refuses, because the money needs to be paid immediately , Give it right away, once it is delayed, the money will really not go on.

"My husband is more thoughtful." Ran Siniang understood the key points of His Majesty's thoughts. Ran Siniang understood women, but she did not understand the bad nature of bureaucrats.

"Do you know how much it is to buy a life without accepting it for one night?" Zhu Qiyu looked at those children and asked with a sigh.

"How much? One hundred silver coins?" Ran Siniang was really not very clear, she quoted a number according to the price in her heart.

"72 silver coins." Zhu Qiyu didn't hold back and told Ran Siniang directly.

A total of 72 silver coins are paid for the pension that is not collected for one night.

This money is only enough to support the Jiuzhong Hall of Shaobao for 29 days.

In Ran Siniang's private account, there are about 72 silver coins, which can buy the lives of 1 marquises. Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Ran Siniang to use 72 silver coins to support 1 nights.

Zhu Qiyu said with a serious face: "A few years ago, a civilian woman was beheaded. The root cause of the incident was that there were spies from outside the Great Wall who inquired about the news that they would not accept it at night. In order to comfort her, the woman told the spies outside the Great Wall about the news of her husband. Yebushou fell on the grassland forever."

The activities of not accepting at night are very dangerous. They seem to be omnipotent, but they are extremely fragile. When someone in the rear betrays him for some compensation, he will only have a dead end.

"Damn it!" Ran Siniang said viciously, as a woman, she never imagined how despicable it would be to sell her husband for a pension.

As Zhu Qiyu walked, he said: "This matter was investigated together with Xiao Xun's case, and it was terminated years ago."

Xiao Yu's case is a serious case. Although Xiao Yu is dead, Xiang Wang Zhu Zhanqian is also looking into the problems he exposed bit by bit. He will never appease the wealthy families behind Xiao Yu .

"Come here." Zhu Qiyu shouted to the children.

He came to Nanyuan to visit his family members who were not accepted at night, so he did not come empty-handed. He gave the children caramel, which was the same type as the caramel he gave Zhu Jianshen, king of Ji, but he only gave Zhu Jianshen five, not too much, not too much. At least, the caramel that was given casually back then has now become a symbol of the holy family.

And these children can take as much as they can. For children, maltose is just maltose.

Most of the things brought to the family are rice, noodles, oil and grains for daily use.

It was strange to say that Zhu Qiyu had never been destined to be a child, but Zhu Jianshen, who had just reached knee height at that time, had never been afraid of him.

After staying until sunset, Zhu Qiyu returned to his car and headed towards the city.

"My husband can stay a little longer, it's all because of my concubine's greed." Ran Siniang said apologetically as she watched the lights come on outside the window and the car slowly moved forward.

Ran Siniang could tell that her husband liked staying in Nanyuan very much, and had a great time playing with the children. Although the children were afraid of him, it was Zhu Qiyu's rare time to relax.

On weekdays, Zhu Qiyu rides a horse when he travels, if it wasn't for Ran Siniang's mischief, wouldn't he be able to stay a little longer?

Zhu Qiyu was stunned when he first heard about it. After thinking for a while, he realized where Ran Siniang's apology came from. He smiled and said, "Silly girl, I don't blame you. I don't ride horses anymore in winter."

Zhu Qiyu is now 32 years old, and he has to admit that compared with when he first came to the throne, he has changed from a young man to a middle-aged man. Riding a horse is a skill, and the roads are slippery in winter. If he travels on a horse, how many heads will he lose if he falls down? ?

When returning to the capital, Zhu Qiyu received an obituary. Chen Xun, the Kang envoy of the Ming Dynasty and the former chief assistant of Wenyuan Pavilion, died of illness in the university hall in Samarkand on October [-] last year.

"Let the Ministry of Rites prepare posthumous titles for officials, and let them be buried." Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a long time when he heard the news. At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he repeated Wuchang Dalun in his ears, presided over the compilation of "Jingtai Huanyu Tongzhi" and then became a Confucian scholar Chen Xun, who chose the Confucian robe to go to the palace, died of illness.

Zhu Qiyu didn't want to criticize Chen Xun. Chen Xun was a typical old master. He chose Confucian robes to go to the palace because he really thought so, and thought that would be beneficial to Daming.

They were all fighting against the emperor. Chen Xun had a posthumous title and was given an official title after his death, but Xiao Tun's head was taken away, and his body was killed in a different place for three days. His family members were exiled in Java. What is the difference between the two?

Most of what Chen Xun did was considered out of the ordinary. He went to the palace in a Confucian robe and was punished. He was dismissed from the official position and stayed at home.

Xiao Zhen's behavior was too outrageous, if Zhu Qiyu hadn't read the word "face in the court" and given him a decisive decision, he would have to go to Xiejie Courtyard for a while at least.

"Your Majesty, Chen Xun's family begs Chen Xun to be buried in Jinshan Cemetery with the merits of Conglong. To beg for the fulfillment of Chen Xun's last wish.

It is probably Chen Xunjing's unfulfilled long-cherished wish to be an official in the Tai Dynasty that he did not get the miracle card in life and that he could not enjoy the imperial tomb in death.

When Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, Chen Xun, as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, naturally agreed, and also needed to issue an edict from Wenyuan Pavilion, and then Chen Xun also signed Wang Zhi's hand on the abolition of Zhu Jianshen's crown prince.

Are Chen Xun's family members threatening him with Conglongzhigong?

Chen Xun's family members are begging.

Because if you want to be buried in Jinshan Mausoleum, it is not Chen Xun who asked for his kindness before his death. arbitrary.

"Yes." Zhu Qiyu thought for a moment, and agreed to the begging. Zhu Qiyu gave this honor because of Chen Xun's life of working for the country.

Zhu Qiyu's imperial edict reached the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites quickly handed over the drafted posthumous title and official bestowal to Wenyuan Pavilion. Chen Xun's posthumous honor was realized before Tianming Festival passed.

For the posthumous donated official, the son can receive a benevolent official who doesn't care about the matter. This official is not hereditary, but he can receive a salary.

The posthumous title, the bestowal of officials, and the treatment of the Jinshan Cemetery quickly spread throughout the capital, and many people in the capital have already forgotten this somewhat old-fashioned old master.

Wang Zhi remembered that after fishing that day, he did not go home directly, but came to the official residence. Wang Zhi still had the official identity of the prince and junior teacher of the dynasty, so he could naturally enter the official residence.

"Come here, why are you still carrying things?" Hu Wei received Wang Zhi's greeting card, and went directly to the door to greet him, and when he met Hu Wei, he joked.

Wang Zhi carried several fish, the largest one was three feet long, Wang Zhi couldn't lift it by himself, so he asked the porter at home to carry it.

"The fish I just caught, before it entered my house, it was given to you in your mouth? I haven't caught such a huge monster this year. Hu Shangshu's mouth is as good as ever. Tricky." Wang Zhi said cheerfully, and asked the concierge to hand over the fish to Hu Wei's family.

The two came to the small attic, and Wang Zhi and Hu Wei chatted a few words in vernacular.

"Chen Xun can actually enter the Jinshan Cemetery, so I don't have to be afraid. If Chen Xun can enter, I will be able to enter even more." Wang Zhi and Hu Wei talked about the purpose of today's visit. He did not make any mistakes when the Confucian robe went to the palace, and His Majesty had promised to bury him in the Jinshan Cemetery after his death.

Hu Wei smiled and said: "Your Majesty said one thing, when you broke up with the Langya Wang family, and you couldn't return to your roots, His Majesty made a promise to you. If Chen Xun enters, you will naturally enter."

"Also, look at what nonsense you are talking about? I am four years older than you, and I won't even talk about it."

At their age, life and death are indeed a bit bearish, and life and death have become a topic that can be discussed.

"I thought I wouldn't be able to survive this winter. Chen Xun, an old man, has come before me." Wang Zhi still remembers the matter of Chen Xun pressing his hand to abolish Zhu Jianshen's crown prince at the court meeting in Wenhua Palace. .

Wang Zhi and Chen Xun didn't deal with each other all the time, and it was Chen Xun who left first.

Once he died, all the kindness and resentment from back then disappeared with Chen Xun's death.

"After all, Old Man Chen is right." Wang Zhi said something inexplicable with a lot of emotion.

"That's because Your Majesty did a good job. It's not old man Chen who knows things like a god." Hu Wei knew the cause and effect between Wang Zhi and Chen Xun, so he put forward a different view.

Why did Wang Zhi refuse to sign the abolition of Zhu Jianshen?

In the final analysis, it was because he was unwilling to lose the means to check and balance the emperor. After fighting for so many years with the imperial power, Zhu Jianshen's position as the crown prince was an insurance policy. means of abolition.

Wang Zhi is very clear about how many troubles will be caused by a master who behaves recklessly in the end.

Facts have proved that His Majesty is not only not Haihunhou, but also a rare Mingjun.

So after so many years of fighting between the two, Chen Xun still won.

Wang Zhi sat up straight, and said with a smile: "Hu Shangshu, I have some doubts, so I ask Hu Shangshu to clarify my doubts."

"Don't dare to solve the confusion, let's talk about it." Hu Wei looked at Wang Zhi. At their age, is there any confusion?

Wang Zhi asked his inner question, and asked in a low voice: "You are one of the few sycophants of the Ming Dynasty, and it is your advantage to know what is going on. Do you think there is a black-clothed monk like Yao Guangxiao behind your majesty? His Majesty has a plan?"

Hu Wei shook his head and said: "Old man Wang, you said you are already old, can't you see through it? It was not Yao Guangxiao's idea that King Yan's mansion conquered the world. It was because King Yan won the victory. Emperor Wen."

"Besides, everyone is watching where and what His Majesty is doing. If there is someone like Yao Guangxiao, can he hide it?"

"Is that so?" Wang Zhi ignored Hu Min's teasing, and asked the bottom line.

Hu Wei said quite firmly: "No, your majesty is your majesty when you thought about it wildly back then."

Wang Zhi was about to speak but stopped, and when he stopped, he stopped talking, and in the end he still hesitated and didn't speak.

"Speak up when you have something to say, hesitating, it's better to be refreshing when you are in the court." Hu Wei looked at Wang Zhi's hesitation, and just reprimanded him.

With Hu Wei's holy family in his body and the miraculous card in his hand, he is naturally fearless, but Wang Zhi naturally has concerns.

"You said that the heir of the emperor was able to inherit the great rule. Is the talent more important, or the training more important?" Wang Zhi organized his remarks.

When a person is old, when the time comes, he will always think about some things behind him. Wang Zhi and Hu Wei are both the prince's junior teachers, so the cultivation of the emperor's heir is very important.

Who will inherit the Great Reign is naturally determined by His Majesty's holy will, but is the successor's talent more important, or training more important?

In terms of training, when His Majesty was the king of Yi, he didn't have any training as an emperor. He went to train his idle clan relatives.

But Your Majesty has done well.

If it is talent, it is a metaphysical matter, who can say clearly, what is talent?

This is the point of view that Wang Zhi wanted to express. He originally thought that there was a tall man behind His Majesty who would give advice to His Majesty, but to this day, it would be foolish to still think that there is a tall man behind His Majesty.

"Old man Wang, are you planning to rebel?" Hu Wei looked at Wang Zhi suspiciously. What Wang Zhi said probably meant that the ruler of the world would be home to the capable.

Discussing whether the emperor's talent is important or training is important, isn't that discussing the destiny of the destiny?

This is just one step away from rebellion.

Immediately, Wang Zhi couldn't sit still, stood up abruptly, pointed at Hu Min and said angrily, "Old man Hu! You don't want to insult people's innocence! I, Wang Zhi, am an official in a down-to-earth manner, and I have never had any wrongdoing. Think! You, you, you! I am too lazy to tell you!"
