I am the king of the dead

No matter what, Qian never expected that the emperor didn't want her body at all, but Zhu Jianshen, the king of Ji who just turned ten years old in Tuji Palace.

It's hard for Zhu Qiyu to explain, he can't tell Qian Shi that Zhu Jianshen is more like his son than Zhu Qizhen's son.

After Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne in history, all the policies were exactly the same as those in the Jingtai period, rebuilding the Beijing camp, controlling the military power, setting up the West Factory, arbitrarily seizing power, pasting the elders of the three pavilions with paper, clay sculptures of the six ministers, pacifying Sichuan, Guizhou and Guizhou, setting up Chaoguan, Baiyin Monetization, etc., Zhu Jianshen and his uncle Ming Daizong's decrees are in the same line.

Those who didn't know thought Zhu Jianshen was the son of Emperor Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that Qian Shi finally put on his clothes, Zhu Qiyu didn't return to the platform, but waved his hand, indicating that Qian Shi should go back to the mansion.

Xing'an stood outside the door, he thought he was going to enter the palace to clean up the aftermath, but the development of the matter exceeded his expectations.

When Mrs. Qian put on her clothes and opened the palace gate, Xing'an walked in and said in a low voice: "Concubine Wang, I have something to say, this matter will definitely not spread from Tai'an Palace. If there are rumors, only From Prince Ji’s Mansion, please keep the princess tight-lipped.”

Qian's face turned red and she didn't speak, but chose to go back to Prince Ji's Mansion.

Zhu Qiyu went to the Huae Tower and found Queen Wang. He had to explain what happened today.

"The concubine sees Your Majesty." Queen Wang's face was not very good-looking, she was quite worried about what happened in Tai'an Palace.

Qian's family left the Tai'an Palace safely, leaving Queen Wang's face sinking like water. What she was most worried about was whether the emperor would tell her the truth.

Zhu Qiyu sat down holding Queen Wang's hand, and explained everything that happened in Tai'an Palace, including the details, without any omissions. He even said it without looking sideways when he undressed.

He has no shame in his heart, why dodge.

"I don't even know what this woman is thinking, it's inexplicable." Zhu Qiyu said rather dissatisfied: "I treat the Prince Ji's mansion well, and this is how the emperor's wife sees me?!"

Queen Wang said calmly, "Your Majesty calmed down. King Ji Li is dead, King Ji Zhu Jianshen is young, and Qian's family is walking on thin ice. It must be because of day and night thinking, tossing and turning, sleepless nights. After all, it is wrong."

"Your Majesty, my concubine has something to say, please be kind to me."

"Your Majesty must never touch this Qian family."

Zhu Qiyu poured a bowl of water and said solemnly: "I know the seriousness."

Queen Wang was still worried and said: "Tang Taizong accepted Princess Qi and gave birth to a child. He almost made Princess Qi his queen. Although history is a lesson, His Majesty cannot do what Tang Taizong did."

"Today is very different from the past."

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms were divided, the world was in decline, and wars were frequent. In this chaotic world, the Western Jin Dynasty temporarily stabilized the situation, but the world's aristocratic families were still unwilling. After 80 years of stability, the chaos in Yongjia broke out, and the people were devastated."

"The Five Hus went south, and the world was exhausted. After the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Sui Dynasty finally ushered in the unification. However, the Sui Dynasty was short-lived, and Emperor Yang of Sui lost his way to the world, which eventually led to the world being imprisoned again."

"The morale of the world is declining, and the rituals and music are ruined."

"For 400 years, the world was in turmoil, and this Tang Taizong Princess Naqi, people at that time thought it was nothing."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Queen Wang and asked with a smile, "My lady also studies history?"

"Your Majesty means that concubines should not study history?" Queen Wang asked with a frown.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hands again and again and said: "Of course I can read it, I can read it, but I think my wife doesn't like these things."

Empress Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The concubine naturally doesn't like reading history, and if she doesn't like it, the concubine will be the queen, and the mother will honor the world, so naturally she will study history."

"The world is falling apart and the number of people is decreasing sharply. Your Majesty thinks that in this troubled world, are there more men or more women?"

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said, "There are still more men than women."

War will consume a large number of people. Before Zhu Qiyu became the emperor, he always thought that in the era of frequent wars, wars wiped out a large number of men, and naturally there were more women.

Ever since he became emperor, Zhu Qiyu discovered that this was not the case.

The number of men killed in battle is naturally greater than that of women, but this military disaster is not as simple as dying in battle. When a military disaster occurs, the most victims are women, children, old and young. It is easier for adults to survive in war-torn times.

Queen Wang said full of emotion: "So, in 400 years, the world was exhausted and the population withered. Tang Taizong accepted Princess Qi. At that time, the world was initially settled, and people at that time did not realize the difference. But Tang Minghuang accepted Concubine Yang Gui, then it would be wrong. The world is over."

Concubine Yang Guifei is the concubine of the Shouwang Li Wei. After leaving the Liyuan, Li Longji fell in love with his daughter-in-law, and then ordered Concubine Yang to become a nun, and then included in the harem as a noble concubine.

When he arrived at Maweipo, Concubine Yang Guifei died, and she became Li Longji's backer.

There is no love story in it, just a story of ashes.

Li Longji didn't take Concubine Yang seriously from the beginning to the end, because the position of queen has been vacant for a long time. If Li Longji really cared about Concubine Yang, why should the queen be vacant for more than ten years?

In the evaluation of the Central Plains dynasties in the past, Yang Guifei actually looked like a disaster for the country and the people.

Zhu Qiyu knew what Queen Wang was talking about, he held Queen Wang's hand and said with a smile: "I am the Lord of the world, and I don't want to make a name for myself. If I want to, I will naturally take it. If I don't want to, I will naturally not take it. No one can." Force me."

"If I really wanted to, I wouldn't have told my lady about the details of Tai'an Palace."

"Miss, don't worry."

Only then did Empress Wang feel at ease, and asked quite relaxedly, "Husband, where are you going to rest tonight?"

"Of course it's in the lady's room." Zhu Qiyu had already come, so naturally he didn't intend to leave.

Empress Wang pointed to the center of her eyebrows and said: "The menstruation is coming, husband, please find another place."

"I'm too lazy to move my nest." Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "Yu Shaobao will return to Beijing tomorrow, and I still have things to do."

Zhu Qiyu and Queen Wang stayed together for a while and then fell into a drowsy sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Qiyu arrived at the lecture hall, waiting for Yu Shaobao who had returned to Beijing to see him.

Yu Qian entered from the gate of Desheng, and the car did not stop for a moment before going to the lecture hall.

The battle for Yu Qian's entry into the capital was huge, and the Tiqi in front opened the way. This was the Tiqi that Zhu Qiyu allocated to Yu Qian to protect Yu Qian. Behind the Tielin Army Palace, there were more than [-] people in total.

The car in the middle still wears a canopy, a four-horse-drawn cart, and the emperor's grace is mighty.

Zhu Qiyu also specially asked Lehu from Taichang Temple to greet him. Zhu Qiyu planned to welcome Yu Shaobao back to Beijing in Fengtian Temple, and all civil and military officials greeted him, but Yu Qian didn't agree with anything, so he gave up.

Yu Qian doesn't like these ostentations, but the holy will is hard to violate.

"Yu Shaobao has worked hard all the way." Zhu Qiyu stood in front of the gate of Juxian Pavilion, waiting for Yu Qian. Originally, he planned to receive Yu Qian at Deshengmen, but it was not in accordance with the etiquette. In the end, Zhu Qiyu could only be in front of the gate of Juxian Pavilion .

Etiquette is not an inconvenience, but it is a big deal for the emperor to come out to welcome him. What kind of bad name did Yu Qian bear for this, isn't it a mess of dignity?

"Your Majesty, Yu Qian pays homage to His Majesty. Is Your Majesty bowing?" Yu Qian bowed three times and kowtowed five times firmly.

"Zhen'an, flatten yourself quickly." Zhu Qiyu held Yu Qian, looked him up and down, and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever had a seizure?"

"Thanks to His Majesty's love, there has been no relapse." Yu Qian said hastily.

Xin Kejing is the judge of the imperial hospital, and the accompanying doctor, he hastily bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, it is true that there has been no relapse, and Yu Shaobao has not suffered from any illness during this trip."

"That's good, that's good." Zhu Qiyu said with a sigh of relief: "Go, I have something to say."

Hu Wei stood aside with a strange expression on his face.

He received Yu Qian in Tucheng outside Deshengmen. Looking at Yu Qian's full-armored Tiqi and Tielin Army, Hu Wei finally noticed something unusual. Yu Qian was still in the Beigukou camp during the battle. , Can Yu Qian be assassinated?

Yu Qian was never assassinated at all, he was played by the emperor as Hu Wei!

Hu Wei figured it out, and shook his head angrily, but he could only shake his head. In the final analysis, the emperor wanted to prevent him from being ruined and to protect his courtier.

Zhu Qiyu, Marquis Wen'an Yuqian, Marquis Chen Mao of Ningyang, Minister of Rites Hu Wei, Wenyuange University scholar Wang Wen, Jinyi Wei left governor Lu Zhong, command envoy Ma Shuo, and eunuch Xing'an gathered in the Imperial Study Room .

Zhu Qiyu signaled all the ministers to sit down and talk.

Zhu Qiyu sat up straight and said: "Tuo Tuo Bu Hua went to Beijing to present the letter of alliance, and now Tu Tuo Bu Hua has gone to the Siyi Pavilion in Jinkou."

"This alliance, I think it is of great significance. I have sent King Xiang, with the officials of Ming Dynasty, to the various tribes of Tatar to announce the decree to stabilize one side. return."

"The grassland is vast, the land is vast and the population is sparsely populated, and it is very different from the interior. The people of Tatar are suffering from being stripped by the Tatar king. This is one; the tribes of Tatar are constantly killing each other, and the population is dying. This is two; If the age is a little worse, you will starve for thousands of miles, this is three."

Zhu Qiyu signaled Xing'an to send out some Koryo tribute papers and said: "This is my plan. You Minggongs are all the mainstays of my Ming Dynasty and are my humerus. After reading this matter, you can brainstorm for the common cause of Ming Dynasty and Tatars." for the good."

Hu Wei frowned and asked, "Union flag system?"

"Yes." Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "There are 24 divisions and 51 banners in the Six Leagues in Monan, 86 banners in four divisions and 64 banners in Mobei, and 32 banners in eight divisions and [-] divisions in Moxi. flag."

Most of Monan is the base of Tatar and Wuliangha, while Mobei and Moxi are mainly the territories of the Oirats. Although Oirats move westward and shrink westward, they still control most of the Moxi area.

This is a kind of overall plan, and currently only the Inner Six Leagues in Monan, that is, Tatar and Wuliangha, can be realized.

Outer Mongolia in most parts of Mobei and Moxi is still dominated by Jiji, and even a big fight will be needed to achieve results.

The banner is the pastoral area of ​​each tribe, while the League is the large pastoral area of ​​each tribe. Zhu Qiyu cut off the tribes in Monan and divided them into areas to prevent chaos.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Ma Shuo, and said quite solemnly: "I am grateful to Duntai Yuanhou for the past seven years, sleeping in the wind, eating and sleeping in the open air without stopping the sentry, collecting enemy information from various Tatar tribes. It is not clear how many people there are in the tribes of Wala."

Ma Shuo bowed his head and said: "For the sake of Daming, I will not hesitate to wait for you."

Ma Shuo is not expressing his loyalty with empty teeth, but Ye Bushou is really doing it, which is obvious to all.

Zhu Qiyu continued: "Tuotuobuhua entered Beijing, and all Tatar kings under the age of 20 went to the Daming Siyi Hall to study. This is a prerequisite for the peace talks between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars."

"The political core of the Tatar and Wuliangha tribes has collapsed, and it's time to act."

After reading the imperial edict, Yu Qian asked rather worriedly: "I think that the Tatar kings should not lead the army, and it should be the first priority. Otherwise, the army and the people will live together, and the powers and responsibilities will be unclear, and chaos will follow in the long run."

"The guards and farms are not applicable to the grassland tribes, so the military system in the pass is not applicable to Monan. The minister thought that a general who suppressed prisoners and a Tatar general officer should be established to take charge of the military affairs of the Six Leagues."

Wu Geqi once joked that Tatar's armaments only made the Tatars believe that they were protected, not Da Ming, because Da Ming knew that Tatar's armaments could not protect Tatars.

The bidding and military training of the Tatar tribes can be handed over to the banners, but the command and dispatch of troops should still be decided by the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, wouldn’t the signing of the alliance be for nothing?

As for discussing the Tatar matter, why no Tatars participated in this kind of matter, everyone sitting in the imperial study room did not notice that something was wrong, it seemed to be a matter of course.

After all, Tuotuo is not spent on mouths.

"Yu Shaobao's words are reasonable." Zhu Qiyu agreed with him and said, "Let this matter be handled by Marquis Wen An."

But Yu Qian shook his head and said, "Let Wuqing Marquis Shi Heng and Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao do it."

Yu Qian declined this job. He has too much power. If he takes power in his arms, if he doesn't get angry, someone will force him to wear a yellow robe. Take less power and do more. This is Yu Qian's way of being a minister now.

"Then leave it to Ningyang Hou Chen Mao and Wuqing Hou Shi Heng to do it." Zhu Qiyu looked at Chen Mao, who bowed down to take orders.

Zhu Zhanqian refused to stay in the capital, Yu Qian refused to take power, and Zhu Qiyu didn't say much, all for the sake of Ming Dynasty's power and responsibility.

There are many, many reasons for the formation of the current political structure of Ming Dynasty, but one of them cannot be avoided. Zhu Qiyu is now young.

"My minister thinks that the Confucianism of the Ministries, the Ministries and the Banner Studies should all send Han Confucian students to give lectures. If each league takes care of itself, firstly, there will be no teachers in each league. Second, after three or five generations of Han Confucian students teaching, they will all be Ming. Only then can there be long-term peace and stability." Hu Wei said quite seriously.

It takes ten years to grow trees, but it takes a hundred years to cultivate people.

Zhu Qiyu said worriedly: "But these Confucian scholars are afraid that they are unwilling to go outside the Great Wall to endure hardships. Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Qianzhen may even be from Juzi and Tong Jinshi, and there are very few Confucian scholars who go there."

Chapter 5 Eighty and Sixteen Surnames of Jingtai

When Hu Wei heard His Majesty's worry, he could only sigh, not to mention the border areas of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou, even in slightly remote places, there are very few scholars who are willing to go.

Zhu Qiyu rummaged for a while, took out the question book, and said: "In the early years of Hongwu, Emperor Gao opened up sociology to promote culture and education. In the 23rd year of Hongwu, sociology in various places has existed in name only."

"Ninety-nine percent of the private schools are built in the city. Judging from the information gathered by the farms from all over the country, the military students from the Confucian School of the Weisuo are the only ones who are willing to teach mud-legged people to read and write in the farms."

Zhu Qiyu's report was made by Yu Qian in conjunction with farms in various places. There are no school buildings in the farms in various places in Ming Dynasty. It is the military students from the Confucian school who are teaching these children to read and write.

Establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the living and the people, inherit the unique knowledge for the past saints, and bring peace to the world, sing high-profile, and shout slogans more positively than one.

The status quo of education in Ming Dynasty.

"I have an immature idea. Can we suspend the imperial examinations and reopen them in six years? Anyone who has not taught in the local area for more than five years will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examinations."

"If you go to border areas such as Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guizhou and Mongolia, the time will be shortened to three years." Zhu Qiyu asked tentatively.

Yu Qian immediately sat up straight and said: "Your Majesty can't do it. This is a big matter. If the imperial examination is suspended and reopened in six years, where will the thousands of scholars in the Ming Dynasty go?"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is requested to think twice about the matter involving the court plan!"

Hu Wei also shook his head again and again and said: "This matter is too aggressive. Your Majesty, the minister also thinks it is inappropriate. If the imperial examination is suspended, the Ming Dynasty officialdom will immediately become a pool of stagnant water. If there is no living water, the government will collapse, and it will collapse overnight."

Yu Qian and Hu Wei opposed this approach, because it involved the grand plan of the court. Suspending the imperial examination is not a trivial matter.

Yu Qian thought for a while and continued: "Your Majesty, a piece of bad meat is sticky and smelly. If you force it to go, these people will definitely be dissatisfied. Instead, they will rot the roots of the big tree. If you go voluntarily, it will be completely different."

"Your Majesty, think about the Marquis Yuanhou who don't close their guards at night, no one has asked them to."

"This can be regarded as a sieve for His Majesty. Who can use it and who can't use it is clear at a glance. Why not do it?"

Yu Qian knew the emperor's fear of sour literati, and used this as an entry point to persuade His Majesty to withdraw his order.

When these sour literati go to the countryside, it is better to let them stay in the city. Under the initiative of the imperial court, those who are willing to go voluntarily, no matter from which angle they look at, must have Ming in their hearts.

Hu Min still wanted to speak, but Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand to interrupt Hu Min's words and said, "I've already said it, it's an immature idea, let alone an imperial decree, it doesn't even count as an oral edict, you two don't need to be nervous."

"How about a contract for a scholar who goes to the frontier, a monthly payment of rice and a stone, and a fixed salary at any time?"

The solution that Zhu Qiyu mentioned is to give the establishment and set the salary.

"Isn't it too much for one stone of rice given by the month?" Hu Wei said with some heartache: "According to the price of Tatar rice, the lowest price for one stone of rice given by the month is one silver coin. Silver coins can't beat it either."

"If there is a disaster year, it will be even more expensive."
