I am the king of the dead

Traveling thousands of miles, boats and cars are exhausting, for what?

Isn't it for the quiet lighting of the lights of thousands of houses, so that the people of Ming Dynasty can have a moment of peace?

Zhu Qiyu likes this kind of tranquility very much, this kind of tranquility is very precious.

Standing on the city wall, Zhu Qiyu has been reflecting on whether this southern tour has achieved his goal, which is also Zhu Qiyu's long-standing habit.

At the end of government affairs every day, there will be summary minutes of government affairs, and after the end of the phased state affairs, summaries and reflections will also be made.

The main purpose of his southern tour is to consolidate Daming’s rule over Nanya, ensure that the less loyal Nanya will become more loyal, and increase the stability of the Ming Empire. The secondary goal is to solve the quagmire of Daming’s winter order and restore Daming’s economic vitality. .

Both the main goal and the secondary goal have been achieved. The bustling tank boats on both sides of the Tonghui River are the best proof. Even at night, the Tonghui River is still busy.

There is also an unexpected joy, which partially solved the Annan problem and provided the necessary conditions for the long-term stability of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu's southern tour achieved the goal and exceeded the target.

I haven't seen them for two years. From Chaoyangmen to Tongzhou, there are already houses all over the place. According to the planning of Shuntianfu Yamen, these houses are not messy.

The planning of a large city cannot be blindly allowed to grow wildly. Fire protection, public security, roads, water supply, markets, education, etc. need to be considered.

From Chaoyangmen to Tongzhou, it is the grass market of the capital city. According to the division of the tenth-class households in Fangguo in the Song Dynasty, the people living here are the lowest second-class, but even the grass market of the city is the city grass market of the capital. The planning of the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion looks quite pleasing to the eye.

The plan of the day is in the morning.

In the stalls on the side of the road, pagoda-like cages are stacked on top of the hazy steam, and the water mist from the collision is scattered, and the remaining rainwater from last night is dripping from the old cloth tent. This parent, talking about that family, babbled.

The air is filled with the aroma of breakfast food, which attracts passers-by to stop, drink a cup of hot tea, and take a bite of soup-filled soup dumplings and steamed dumplings. The face is full of satisfaction after being full.

The smell of fireworks gathers at this moment and lingers for a long time.

Fireworks are the world.

Amidst the sound of gongs and drums and shouts of avoidance, teams of Tiqi were running on the imperial road, and the people in the morning market knew that the Tiqi were clearing the street.

Tiqi meticulously implements the standards of clearing the streets, and even checks a house three times to confirm the safety of each other.

In fact, there is absolutely no need for the Tiqi to do this. After the news of His Majesty's return to Beijing came yesterday, the people on both sides of the Royal Road have already spontaneously cleared the streets. How can they use the Tiqi to dig the ground three feet?

The loyal Shuntianfu and the not so loyal Yingtianfu are different after all.

When His Majesty arrived at Hangzhou Mansion, You Ren and the Xia Clan, together with the Xinghai Gang, brought out powerful crossbows, firearms, and armor, ready to assassinate the king. In Songjiang Mansion, there was also a remnant performance of the rebellion of the Nanya Dynasty, and it was delivered to Haining. The launching of No. [-] and No. Lujiang added to the fun.

The people of Shuntian Mansion are extremely loyal to His Majesty who saved the capital from being broken by the iron hooves of Oara.

The people who had breakfast spontaneously gathered on both sides of the Royal Street. From the eyes of the people, His Majesty is obviously a benevolent monarch. The time to return to Beijing is adjusted after breakfast. After watching His Majesty's return to Beijing, there will be no delay go to work.

Right now, the people of Ming Dynasty are most concerned about which leading general will be leading the horse for His Majesty.

In the past, as long as Marquis Wuqing was in Beijing, this job belonged to Marquis Wuqing, and no one could replace him. However, there were many rumors in Beijing that Marquis Wuqing Shiheng did not follow His Majesty to the south this time, nor did he participate in the war in Annan County. It's the absence of the holy family.

Amidst the melodious sound of horns and the sound of thundering drums, the leading car headed by Bai Xiang appeared at the front of His Majesty's car. Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was still the chief soldier of the capital, Shi Heng, Marquis of Wuqing, carrying a ceremonial knife , Show off your might.

There are four pilot vehicles in total, followed by the British Duke Zhang Mao of the Ming Dynasty, the Cheng Guogong Zhu Yi, and the newly promoted Dingyuan Bo Shi Biao as the guides of His Majesty.

Shi Heng was wearing Mingguang Armor, carrying a Ritual Saber, and sitting on top of the white elephant, quite majestic.

There have always been rumors in the capital that the holy family of Marquis Wuqing is not there. At first, Shi Heng didn't take it seriously. !

But as the time for His Majesty's return to Beijing was getting closer, Shi Heng's heart began to feel uneasy. When he was suppressing bandits in Daningwei, His Majesty toured the south, and he hadn't seen His Majesty for nearly three years.

Although he was sure that the holy family was still there, the rumors about the capital made him a little uneasy, and the certainty in the past turned into suspicion.

After His Majesty arrived in Tongzhou, he summoned Shi Heng to Miansheng in Tongzhou, inquired about the suppression of bandits in the Northern Paradise Division, and arranged for him to continue to be the leader.

Shi Heng's hanging heart finally fell.

As long as he is still the Shi Heng who is tired and fighting again, His Majesty will still be the one who made him drive thousands of miles like a tiger.

The white elephants in the leading chariot of the Ming Dynasty were all raised by Shi Heng, and the leading general was none other than him.

Zhu Qiyu's car drove from Tongzhou Mansion to Chaoyang Gate. On September [-], eighteen batches of snow-white horses pulled their big jade wheels and stopped steadily in front of Chaoyang Gate.

"Your Majesty welcomes you back to Beijing. Long live your majesty, long live, long live." Xiang Wang Zhu Zhanqian took the lead out of the line, bowed three times and kowtowed five times, shouting with tears in his eyes. Come on, by the way, hand over the seal and ribbon of Jian Guo to His Majesty immediately.

Supervising the country's seal and ribbon is too hot!King Xiang really couldn't hold it anymore, the whistleblowing system could be stabilized for a while, but it couldn't last forever.

"Your Majesty is welcome back to Beijing. Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live."

Civil and military men of the Ming Dynasty, but anyone who can take a breath is waiting outside the Chaoyang Gate, even the elderly Hu Wei, he gave a big gift, at an age rare in ancient times, Hu Wei didn't need to kneel at all.

Zhu Qiyu actually didn't like this kind of red tape, but every time he said that he wanted to abolish the reliance, Hu Wei always showed a posture of desperately fighting with the emperor to remonstrate that it was his bounden duty as the minister of the Ministry of Rites to uphold the etiquette.

This guard of honor has been streamlined and streamlined, but it is still crowded with people, flags and banners are flying, and the momentum is huge.

No matter how small the emperor's ostentation is, it is still a grand ceremony.

Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand and raised it, and said with a smile: "Flat body."

Zhu Zhanqian stood up first and came to the front of the car. Luo Bingzhong took a copper plate and handed over the seal and ribbon of Jianguo to Xing'an.

At this point, Emperor Ming returned to Beijing and took back King Xiang's power to supervise the country. Emperor Ming, who had been offline for two years and three months, came back online to take charge of the government.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Another burst of shouts came.

Zhu Qiyu took out a miracle card from Xing'an's hand, hung it on Zhu Zhanqian's body, and said with emotion: "Uncle Huang has worked hard."

"No hard work, no hard work!" Zhu Zhanqian looked at the gleaming golden Qigong card on his body, and said repeatedly, with the Qigong card, everything is not hard.

Is the Qigong card an iron ticket to avoid death?

No.

His Majesty has never said that the Miracle Card can prevent death, but almost everyone knows that getting the Miracle Card means that he has a place in His Majesty's heart, as long as he does not seek treason, his life is safe.

Zhu Zhanqian already had two miracle cards, but when he got the third one, he was still grinning from ear to ear. Who would think there are too many cards?

After Zhu Qiyu awarded Zhu Zhanqian the honor, he got back into the car and drove towards Tai'an Palace. The people along the way were all celebrating.

In Tai'an Palace, Empress Wang led a group of concubines and emperor's heirs inside the palace gate, waiting for His Majesty to get off from the carriage.

"The courtiers pay homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty bows to you." Empress Wang, Concubine Tang Gui, Concubine Li Xian, etc., brought the princes to the ceremony.

Zhu Qiyu helped Queen Wang up and said with a smile, "The Queen has worked hard."

"I made some gadgets on the way to the south." Zhu Qiyu took out an amber, which contained the hair of Zhu Qiyu and Queen Wang, and there was also a contract on it.

Empress Wang took the exquisite pendant, looked at it, and said in surprise: "Your husband made it yourself?"

"En." Zhu Qiyu nodded. Ran Siniang has this thing, so Zhu Qiyu will naturally not forget to make one for the concubines in the harem. One is done, and eight are also done.

After Zhu Qiyu returned to Beijing, he did not hold a court meeting immediately, but rested for a day. At this time, the carriages and horses were exhausted, and it was a lie that it was not hard work for such a long trip.

As the saying goes, a little farewell is better than a newlywed, when Zhu Qiyu woke up the next day, he did not ride a horse into the palace to the court meeting in Fengtian Palace as usual, but rode in a car.

The eunuchs in the Fengtian Hall finally lifted the throne, which had been useless for more than two years, to the platform, and the square stool for the supervisory throne was removed. Seeing that His Majesty was seated, Xing'an shook his whisk and shouted loudly: "Go to court!" .”

The clean whip in Jin Yiwei's hand sounded three times, and the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty began to enter Fengtian Hall in an orderly manner.

The first court meeting of the Ming emperor after returning to Beijing officially began.

"Xing'an declares the decree." Zhu Qiyu asked Xing'an to promulgate the imperial edicts that had been drawn up a long time ago. Today's imperial edicts are many and very long.

The first one is naturally to affirm the conscientious work of the ministers and workers of the Ming Dynasty after the emperor left Beijing. The edict is full of praise, and even the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which the emperor dislikes very much, has been appreciated by His Majesty.

After leaving Beijing for more than two years, there was no disturbance in Ming Dynasty's government affairs, no face-to-face dog fights, and even no major political turmoil. Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with the obedience of the courtiers.

If the emperors of the Song and Song Dynasties were on tour, I don't know what it would look like if the dog fights between the court and China were in progress.

The second imperial decree is rewards. For Beijing officials above the fourth rank, each person has a certain amount of silk, silk, gold, flowers and silver, while for Beijing officials below the fourth rank, they are rewarded with silver coins. Even the scribes are rewarded with ten silver coins. Zhu Qiyu’s reward It was as rich as ever, so rich that some courtiers wished that His Majesty would make another southern tour immediately.

This is also Zhu Qiyu's consistent style of being an emperor. He never boasted, but was rewarded with real gold and silver. If he did a good job, he would be rewarded. Love it and hate it.

There was joy in the hall.

The third imperial decree was to release Zheng Wang Zhu Zhanyu, who was confined in the clan's mansion, back to the palace, and reprimanded His Royal Highness King Xiang for the raid system in the capital, which destroyed the friendship between relatives and made people panic.

Then in the imperial decree, His Majesty raised the treatment of some clans, which is better than nothing.

However, in the edict, His Majesty mentioned a method of conferring overseas favors. If you go out and venture out, break into a world, and become famous, as long as you are on the degree, you can also be knighted.

The courtiers and relatives were actually very clear in their hearts. After His Majesty returned to Beijing, he awarded King Xiang the medal of extraordinary merit outside the Chaoyang Gate. How sincere are you in reprimanding King Xiang this time?The euphemism of the words, the carefulness of the words, His Majesty is almost shouting that Uncle Huang has done a good job.

Who can't see a scene where one sings a red face and the other sings a bad face, or a play by two uncles and nephews?

However, the clan members also reluctantly accepted the descending system. After all, His Majesty opened up another way after returning to Beijing, the possibility of overseas knighthoods. Moreover, in the imperial decree, His Majesty made it clear that the overseas knighthoods of Ming Dynasty are hereditary, and the system of demotion is not allowed. .

The third imperial decree is about the placement of the sons of the hereditary martial arts of the Ming Dynasty. Whatever name comes from it, if it is verified to be correct, it can be granted with grace.

This is an optimization of the hereditary bureaucracy. Encourage the hereditary martial arts of the Ming Dynasty to take their henchmen to sea, and they can naturally be lawless overseas.

The fourth imperial decree is to abolish the informant system that terrified the courtiers, and restore the original bus box.

Hu Wei, the minister of rites, the methods of the elders of the Six Dynasties, really tossed the courtiers enough, not to mention attacking King Xiang, self-defense is stretched, impeaching Hu Wei, His Majesty even personally issued a report to criticize the sophistry 24 methods.

Hu Wei himself is an evergreen tree in the Ming Dynasty Hall, full of knowledge, and it is easy to argue with the Confucians. His deep understanding of the government is incomprehensible. Hu Shangshu passed away.

The fifth imperial decree is a supplementary explanation to the fact that breeding people will never be taxed. This is an important step in the tax reform of the Ming Dynasty.

In the imperial decree, His Majesty issued the most severe warning, no matter whether it is overtly obedient or overtly violated, it is tantamount to conspiracy to commit a major crime, and the first offender will be sent to the court.

The powerful and powerful people of Ming Dynasty have probably already figured out His Majesty's way. What His Majesty strictly prohibits, there is no room for political discussion or discussion, and they must never be touched.

Those who act badly will really be sent to Jiejiayuan, their homes will be ransacked, and they will be exiled, and they will be in chicken coops, Yongning Temple, Champa, Luzon and other places.

The sixth imperial decree is to announce that Annan, the prefecture of the Ming Dynasty, will be renamed Jiaozhi and reestablished the [-]th Mansion, and a series of officials will be appointed. It can be regarded as an official ending to the Annan matter, not unclear or unclear.

"Start playing if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do." Xing'an finished reading the imperial edict, shook his whisk, and shouted loudly.

The chief constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zuodu Yushi, covered the sky with one hand and bowed his head and said: "I have my own report!"

7 Ninety Chapters Shijing Factory worth 34 silver coins

"Play." Zhu Qiyu sat up straight and said solemnly.

This is the first time he has dealt with courtiers' memorials at the Great Court Meeting since he returned to Beijing. This first memorial represents the strength of the court, especially the Zuodu Censor He Zhang of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The general leader of Kodao Yanguan.

He wanted to see clearly what the first memorial for the first court meeting after returning to Beijing was.

He Zhang handed a memorial to the eunuch of Xiaohuangmen, held up the wat board and said: "Your Majesty, on the sixth day of May in the tenth year of Jingtai, there was water seepage in Shijing Factory. Two kiln workers, Feng Bifu, Yongding Township, Beiling, Feng Bigui, regardless of his own safety, shook the copper bell to sound the alarm when the water was rising, and more than [-] kiln workers were rescued.”

"Two brothers, Feng Bifu and Feng Bigui, were unfortunately killed. Their bones were found the day before yesterday. I asked for a merit card for the two of them, to honor their achievements and their virtues."

What virtue?

Naturally, it is a public morality that can strengthen the group, be good to the group, and advance the group.

Zhu Qiyu never expected that the first government affairs he had to deal with after returning to Beijing was actually the head of the Daoist officials of the Daming Branch, who was pleading for the people, and they were two of the most ordinary kilns.

Zhu Qiyu opened the memorial, and as expected, they were just kiln dwellers in Beiling, and their ancestors were tenant tenants for two generations. When they came to these two brothers, they went to the coal kiln to dig coal, which changed their fate. The coal and steel garden of the factory has a residence, and their four children are all studying in the artisan society of Shijing Factory.

These days, if you can afford your children to study, you can probably be called a Chinese family.

The water seepage in the coal mine in May was rapid and urgent. If it hadn't been for these two kiln workers' desperate reminders, the [-] kiln workers who went down the mine would probably be buried at the foot of the mountain forever.

Zhu Qiyu closed the memorial and said: "I once climbed the multi-view building in Nanya, and saw the inscription. It is "Niannujiao·Climbing the Multi-view Tower" by Chen Liang in the spring of the 15th year of Chunxi Emperor Xiaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty."

"The first half of the Que said: The dangerous building is still looking forward, sighing for this meaning, several people in the past and present have met it."

"Ghosts set up gods, and they recognize it as a world-limited southern border and northern borders. One river is horizontal, and the hills are connected on three sides, making a contending for supremacy."

"What happened in the Six Dynasties, it's just a family plan."

"I am very pleased. The first memorial after returning to Beijing is to award a Guizhou head with honors."

"Give two merit plaques, and each of the two families will give fifty silver coins to commemorate their meritorious deeds, so that the two heirs will move to Nanhaizi, Daxing, and enter the dormitory. After they become adults, they can enter the martial arts hall or lecture hall. "

Zhu Qiyu's rewards were extremely rich, in addition to the first merit card, there were also silver coins rewards, and they also arranged for their funeral affairs.

The folks have an extremely strong bad habit of "eating out of households". Both brothers died, and their children's livelihood became a big problem.

Daxing Nanhaizi is the place where the families of the Marquis Yuan of Daming Duntai gather. Moving here is to give these two children the same treatment as the descendants of heroes and heroes. Cheng Ding can enter the lecture hall and lecture hall. If he is not willing to serve the country, You can also fend for yourself.

What happened in the Six Dynasties is only a private matter of the family, 24 histories are not history, and the genealogy of 24 surnames is a common problem under the feudal monarchy. The long-term absence of ordinary people in history is a historical defect.

The historical materials of the past dynasties all start from the point of view of the emperors and generals, ignoring the most extensive group of people, the common people.

This change of He Zhang may be the result of Prince Xiang's theory of public morality and private morality, or it may be that what is good at the top must be good at the bottom. Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and He Zhang does what he likes.

But no matter what the reason is, change is change, and Zhu Qiyu is very happy to see this change.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." He Zhang bowed his head to thank him, looked at the wat board in his hand, bowed his head again and said, "Your Majesty, I still have a book to play. I impeach Chen Youde, the general manager of Shijing Factory."

It has been more than five years since Chen Youde was assigned to the Liaodong factory after Xu Siqi was assigned to the Liaodong factory because of his screw water conservancy forging machine.

"What's the impeachment?" Zhu Qiyu's tone became a little harsh.
