I am the king of the dead

"It's you, who rested so early today?"

Ran Siniang pursed her lips and said: "The concubine wants to have a child, but the concubine and that Elena have no children in the palace. I'm really... a bit envious."

Chapter 542 Birth, Aging, Sickness and Death

Ran Siniang leaned against the window rail, and she looked at her husband with a smile on her face.

After being sent away from the building above Hailongtun in Bozhou, Ran Siniang kept thinking about what her man would look like.

Although at the beginning, the husband did not accept her because of various scruples, but as time passed, Ran Siniang finally climbed onto the emperor's bed.

That dream of Fuko Hino was very simple for Ran Siniang. If she hadn't been on duty at the Tai'an Hospital, she might have entered Tai'an Palace earlier.

Ran Siniang has ambitions for His Majesty.

Your Majesty looks heroic, has means and methods, and works aboveboard. She is still the most honorable one in the world. Of course she has ambitions.

"The first time Your Majesty saw me, I knew that I would be His Majesty's man for the rest of my life." Ran Siniang said with a smile.

She dimmed down some of the blowtorches, and the bright white lime glow immediately turned into a light with a hint of bright yellow.

When King Jili was drafting in the 13th year of Zhengtong, the queen mother in the palace had firmly opposed the daughter of Shixuan, a hundred households in Miyunwei, Nashun Tianfu, King Jili.

Then Shi Xuan's daughter took some money and went home. This girl was favored by Qi Shao, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, and asked Xu Qi, the minister of the Ministry of war, and Zhao Hui, the captain-in-law, to be matchmakers to marry Shi Xuan's daughter.

Later, King Jili thought of Shi Xuan's daughter again, and made a very embarrassing scene.

This Qi Shao was finally convicted and killed. When Li Binyan impeached Zhao Hui, the captain-in-law, he did not take this matter into account at the same time, because the death of Qi Shao, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, was due to his own resentment for killing the masses, and he deserved it.

But this matter caused a lot of trouble, and it was impossible for the daughter of the Tian family who left the emperor to marry again.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Ran Siniang. When we first met in Nanya, Zhu Qiyu had some concerns about Ran Siniang. After all, the girl sent her here from such a far away place, so the girl might feel resentful.

He originally planned to give Ran Siniang a family, but later he realized that he really didn't think too much.

He is not King Jili, no one dares to break ground on the head of His Majesty who has just quelled the Nanya rebellion and won a great victory.

Today, Zhu Qiyu is very fortunate that Ran Siniang is a very nice girl, she is understanding and has excellent medical skills.

"Actually, you will live better if you are not in Tai'an Palace." Zhu Qiyu leaned on the soft wicker chair and said some inexplicable words.

Ran Siniang is a very intelligent woman, her medical skills are improving day by day, and she has contributed a lot in Tai'an Hospital. Even if she does not enter Tai'an Palace, Ran Siniang will live well.

Among other things, Ran Siniang's cockroach yard built in Miyunwei is enough to make Ran Siniang live an extraordinary life.

Jin Shangshu drank the new rehabilitation liquid that he had promised, and the sales volume was excellent. It has gradually become one of the regular medicines in the capital's million-dollar family.

Lu Zicai of Tai Hospital spoke highly of this big cockroach soup, and promoted it to the entire Huimin Pharmacy under the jurisdiction of Tai Hospital.

Ran Siniang also has Baibao Dan, which is a good medicine for treating bruises with Sanqi as the main medicine.

Of course Ran Siniang knew what His Majesty was talking about, she took off her hairpin, shook her hair, stretched out her pale fingers and said, "No, no, no, that's not necessarily true."

"This cockroach soup is the property of Huangzhuang. Guess, if it is not the property of Huangzhuang, where are the concubines now?"

"Wealth touches people's hearts."

"I'm a woman. Such a lucrative business is like a child with a daughter in a busy market, but it's a disaster."

As the saying goes, those who sell prostitution can't sell more than those who sell medicine. Ran Siniang's words are not just empty words. If she is not a nobleman of the emperor, she will suffer a lot.

Ran Siniang is a very smart woman, she clearly knows everything about herself because the man in front of her is her husband.

Obviously she wanted this man to be the father of the child.

"So, I have to have a child. Your Majesty doesn't know, even Wan'er laughs at me." Ran Siniang said helplessly: "The other concubines have children, but I don't. I have to hurry up. Don't wait until Elena is born, my stomach is still flat."

There were some gossip in the public, and Ran Siniang heard it.

She is in public all day long, and she has no children, so there will naturally be all kinds of gossip.

Originally, some people said that she was a barbarian and didn't know how to be polite. Now besides Elena, she is the only one who has no children. This kind of force has become more and more since Chen Wanniang gave birth to a child.

Ran Siniang slowly approached Zhu Qiyu, pursed her lips and said, "Today is a good day."

"Go back to the palace and wash, wash!" Zhu Qiyu knew that he was doomed today, so he hurriedly said.

This is the Royal Study Room, so don't mess around.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Qiyu still woke up early. In the Tai'an Palace, he rode his horse for half an hour and played with his gun a few times. He had a dream of a gold and iron horse, but reality did not allow him to be an emperor. Put yourself at risk.

Ran Siniang stayed in bed for nearly an hour before calling his husband to have breakfast quite lazily.

"When is Jin Shangshu's illness?" Zhu Qiyu asked a little seriously after eating breakfast and before going to the imperial study.

Jin Lian's illness has been dragging on for more than a year. Although the stomach problem is cured, it has only dragged on for a while.

These days, Jin Lian is no longer able to go to court, and the affairs of the household department are handed over to Zhang Feng, the left servant of the household department. No matter how capable Zhang Feng is, whether Zhu Qiyu is satisfied with him or not, it can only be him.

Ran Siniang hesitated for a while, and said with a little helplessness: "Your Majesty, birth, old age, sickness and death, the time comes."

Zhu Qiyu showed a smile and said: "I know, you have tried your best, and the Tai Hospital has also done its best. Well, I will go to see Jin Shangshu today."

What Ran Siniang said meant that it was only a few days.

Jin Lian is Uncle Muyang, and Zhu Qiyu gave it to him a long time ago. This is the evaluation of Jin Lian's life by the Ming Dynasty.

Jin Lian's family is very ordinary. The real poor children have parents who are ordinary people.

Xiaoyi wears and eats iron inkstones, sits in Xuechuang and Yinghuo to compile books, Jin Lian studies hard in Hanchuang, is promoted in the 15th year of Yongle, and Jinshi in the 16th year of Yongle, has been an official for more than [-] years, and has served in five dynasties, in Ningxia Followed Ningyang Hou Chen Mao to pacify the horse bandits, and met the Wala people in arms.

Jin Lian's Uncle Mu Yang was obtained in exchange for his military exploits.

This old man who devoted all his blood and sweat to the Ming Dynasty is not as good at health preservation as Hu Wei. He has been running around for many years and has suffered from a whole body of problems. Although the old stomach disease has been cured, he is already in the five declines of heaven and man, and his organs are almost exhausted.

Zhu Qiyu came to the mansion and met Jin Lian.

The old man in his dying years, half leaning on the bed rail, saw His Majesty walking in, wanted to sit up completely, but was unable to sit up after several attempts.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for being rude. I can't salute on the sick bed."

Zhu Qiyu sat in front of Jin Lian, shook his head and said, "No problem."

Jin Lian took out a memorial from the bedside, handed it to the emperor tremblingly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I wrote this memorial, which is mainly about the adjustment of the labor remuneration of craftsmen in various government factories. After much deliberation, this money cannot be saved.”

Zhu Qiyu put away Jin Lian's memorial, put it in his sleeve, and said very seriously: "Okay, all the affairs of the ministry are left to Zhang Feng, don't worry, take care of your body, I'm still waiting for you Argue with me again, let's talk after recovering from illness."

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, only Jin Lian dared to slap the emperor on the table. It has become the norm for the Ming Dynasty to quarrel between the household department and the internal money, and people in the court are not surprised.

This is the case with Jin Lian. There is one thing to say. At the beginning, the emperor wanted to fix the salaries of all officials and reissue Jingtai's four-year salary. Jin Lian insisted on the emperor and forced the emperor not to make up the salary.

Fixed salary should be, but supplementary salary should not.

Don't blame the past, don't make up for the past, if your majesty pays the salary, then you have to investigate all the mistakes of all the officials during the orthodox years.

This is messed up.

"Your body, I know it, it's just these days." Jin Lian was quite free and easy, and said with a relaxed expression: "From the official to the minister, you have to be made an earl. When this comes, when you leave, all the ministers , Ge Lao, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate all have to come to send off ministers."

"Hey, how much face is this? The minister is content."

"If you want to talk about regret, I just feel that Lin Li is gone, and I still haven't seen the solution to Daming's money shortage. It's hard to calm down."

Financial management must be done by Lian, which was the reason why Beijing officials recommended Jin Lian to be transferred from the Ministry of Punishment to the Ministry of Households.

At that time, the state affairs were precarious, and Jin Lian also took orders in the face of danger, and cooperated closely with Yu Qian. He was a well-deserved hero of the community and lived up to everyone's expectations.

Jin Lian went on to say: "The minister also stepped into the gate of hell with one foot. If your Majesty thinks something is wrong, it will be regarded as nonsense. The way to solve this money shortage is to get money."

"I know that Your Majesty loves the people very much. This banknote law is not suitable for our Ming Dynasty at the moment, but we can try to implement the banknote law in these places in Japan to see the effect."

The Baoyuan Bureau is owned by the Ministry of Industry, and the Baochao Bureau is owned by the Ministry of Accounts. The printing of banknotes is the responsibility of the Ministry of Accounts, but it is occupied by the Bureau of Baoyuan. It is not suitable for vigorously promoting the banknote law.

Jin Lian was lying on the sickbed, still obsessed with the money shortage in Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu doesn't care about Jin Lian's disagreement with him, because the purpose is the same, to make Daming better.

"I know, I will try to implement the banknote law in the Japanese country, try it, and try it in the Ming Dynasty when the banknote law is mature, I know it."

Yu Qian's attitude towards banknotes and money has always been that it is feasible for His Majesty to use banknotes and money. Yu Shaobao always feels that His Majesty is too cautious in matters of banknotes and money.

But there is a lesson from the past, His Majesty is willing to slow down, and Yu Qian has no objection.

"Jin Shangshu, how does your fellow villager Shen Yi compare to Zhang Feng?" Zhu Qiyu asked about Jin Lian's afterlife.

Shen Yi, the right servant of the household department, is one of Jin Lian's right-hand men, but Shen Yi is Jin Lian's fellow villager. In order to avoid suspicion, Jin Lian did not recommend Shen Yi to take over the household affairs, but recommended Zhang Feng.

But this phoenix ability really made Zhu Qiyu a little worried.

Jin Lian seriously thought about it, shook his head and said: "No, Shen Yi is greedy for money, if he is in charge of the household affairs, I'm afraid something big will happen."

"I'm alive, but he doesn't dare. Once I leave, I'm afraid he will reveal his true colors. Your Majesty asked Tiqi to keep an eye on him. I'm afraid that I will meet him on Huangquan Road before I pass the gate of hell."

Jin Lian said full of memories: "In the 12th year of Zhengtong, there was a severe drought in Huai'an. The minister asked for a decree to exempt the rice and wheat agricultural tax, and the silver cloth and silk silk were levied as before. There is a large Pu family in the east of Zhejiang. Pu family."

"This Mrs. Pu transported cotton silk to Beijing, and used it to half-bribe the dignitaries. If I hadn't stopped Shen Yi, he might have stretched out his hand."

Only then did Zhu Qiyu understand, no wonder Zhang Feng was clearly incompetent, Shen Yi was smart and capable, but Jin Lian refused to let Shen Yi take up an important position, so there was such a thing in it.

After Jin Lian made it clear why he didn't recommend his fellow countrymen, he closed his eyes for a long time, then suddenly opened them, and said very seriously: "Your Majesty, the current minister of the Ministry of War, Jiang Yuan, was a servant of the household department. He was orthodox for 12 years. He received [-] dans of cotton silk from Pu, and Pu escaped the tax of that year."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Jin Lian in disbelief and asked, "There is such a thing?! When I went south to suppress the rebellion, he raised his head and inspected the world's granaries. It was a hard job. , he did it very neatly."

"There is such a thing, I appointed him as Minister of the Ministry of War, and asked you Minggong, why did Jin Shangshu not say anything?"

Jin Lian leaned against the bed rail and said with a smile: "Hu Shangshu also took the Japanese money, and he handed it over to the internal shipping warehouse. Didn't Your Majesty not embarrass him?"

"On the eve of Yu Shiyue's battle with the capital, he sent his wife and children back to his hometown. Didn't His Majesty not blame Yu Shiyue for this matter?"

"Being an official during the orthodox years, not everyone is as calm as Yu Shaobao, upright and upright."

"It's difficult to be an upright official. Jiang Yuan was forced to accept the money at the beginning, and the money didn't go into his hands."

The idiom "Two-sleeve Qingfeng" refers to Yu Qian's entry into Beijing, and he refused to give gifts to the great eunuch Wang Zhen, so he sent two-sleeve Qingfeng.

"Yu Shaobao also knows this. The water in this world is turbid and turbid. Jiang Yuan is quite capable. Since Jingtai, he has done nothing wrong. Since the past is not to be blamed, His Majesty should just look at him." Jin Lian knew With His Majesty's disposition, Jiang Yuan must be walking on thin ice in the future.

Jin Lian chose this time to bring this matter to the fore, to remind His Majesty to be careful of the officials in the court. There are outstanding people like Yu Qian and Yang Hong among the bureaucrats, but not all are outstanding.

Use it when it is good, and dismiss it if it is not good.

Zhu Qiyu didn't know that in the original historical line, Jin Lian had no peace after his death because Jiang Yuan accepted the [-] dans of cotton silk.

Jin Lian impeached Jiang Yuan for accepting bribes in the third year of Jingtai. After Jin Lian died, Chen Xun, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, wrote a Shinto stele for Jin Lian, but the Shinto stele has not been erected for more than 30 years.

Because Jin Lian is dead, Jiang Yuan is still alive.

It was not until Jiang Yuan died that Jin Lian's divine way monument was erected.

Jin Lian thought for a while and said, "There is also Xiang Wenyuan, the servant of the Ministry of Officials. Didn't he force Li Sui to marry his daughter, causing a disturbance all over the city, and being humiliated by Li Sui?"

"Xiang Wenyuan tormented himself so much that he had to resign, but his son Xiang Qiaoxin is an out-and-out capable person."

"Xiang Qiaoxin became a Jinshi in the second year of Jingtai, and together with Ke Qian, the number one scholar in the second year of Jingtai, ate sand in the Xingdu Division of Shaanxi, but caught a lot of spies and made a lot of money."

Zhu Qiyu asked in surprise: "Xiang Qiaoxin is actually Xiang Wenyuan's son? But his household registration is not under Xiang Wenyuan's name."

Every Jinshi in a new discipline must check out the eighteenth generation of his ancestors. This Qiao Xin is a talent that Zhu Qiyu brought in.

This Qiao Xin turned out to be the son of Xiang Wenyuan who forced Li Sui to marry his daughter, and finally lost all the face of his tossing and had to resign from office.

Jin Lian said with emotion: "This Wenyuan is also to avoid suspicion. I am afraid that his son will use his name to get a good name, which will embarrass the local officials and prevent Xiang Qiaoxin from taking the imperial examination."

"However, Qiao Xin Hanchuang studied hard for more than ten years, and then secretly took the imperial examination through the way of his fellow countrymen."

"Your Majesty, I'm not saying this to impeach them. I just want to say that even in the capital court, there are things that His Majesty doesn't know, but this undercurrent is surging. mesa."

"Your Majesty, today, walks the Yangguan Avenue instead of the narrow path. This is His Majesty's greatest advantage, and it is also His Majesty's greatest confidence. Walking on the trail is a trail after all, and the undercurrent is an undercurrent after all."

"If your majesty falls into this trail and undercurrent from the main road, they are much more experienced than your majesty in this regard."

Chapter 543 First righteousness and then profit is glory, and the armor is laborious

Jin Lian looked at His Majesty, who was full of heroism and was in his prime, and showed a gratified smile.

He didn't want to report on Jiang Yuan, Xiang Wenyuan and others, but to tell His Majesty not to step down from the throne and tear up with the courtiers by taking advantage of the more serious matters in the court.

The role of His Majesty is to make decisions, and His Majesty has always done this very well, and Jin Lian is very pleased.

Zhu Qiyu was not born an emperor, it was his first time to be an emperor, but he knew what Jin Lian said was right.

In the early years of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng put Emperor Wanli in the position of the Holy Judgment, and all the new policies came to fruition, but when Zhang Juzheng died, Emperor Wanli was in charge, and he made a fatal mistake. .

Emperor Wanli couldn't tear up his courtiers, he was not experienced enough.
