I am the king of the dead

"The Ara Zhiyuan has banned all exchanges between the Wala tribe and the Gong city of Daming."

Zhu Qiyu smiled, and he thought of a sentence, that is: open the door, free trade.

"Kick the door if it doesn't open, and smash it if it doesn't open. In short, the Ministry of Rites has a good idea, but if you want to use this idea, you should break the door first." Zhu Qiyu concluded.

Does Wa country want its silver to flow out?

Obviously, the top and bottom of the Wa country do not want silver to flow out, but the Wa country has no food, no stable political environment, and no various means of production, so it can only let the silver flow out.

It was Yuan Bin and others who kicked open the gate of Japan, and it was Wang Fu and others who kicked open the gate of free trade in the Western Regions.

Jingtai's last court meeting in ten years ended in a quarrel, and it was already the beginning of the lights when it ended.

Although the quarrel was fierce, the results were very fruitful. A decision on how to deal with Xiao Xun was formed, a consensus was reached on how to deal with Helin after the attack, and an overall arrangement was also made for the Northern Expedition.

Shi Heng and Yu Qian stayed until the end. The coach of the Northern Expedition is still Shi Heng, and the governor of military affairs is still Yu Qian.

Zhu Qiyu, Shi Heng, Yu Qian and the others sat on the jade chair.

"Marquis Wuqing and Marquis Wen'an, I have prepared the throne for the two of you. If you can return home in triumph this time, I will hold a banquet and have a drink with you." After Zhu Qiyu sat down, the first sentence promised Made a promise.

Duke.

It is the highest title of Daming Shixun.

Back then, Zhu Qiyu drew a big cake for Shi Heng. This big cake was like a gold and iron horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, but this big cake seemed nonsense, but Zhu Qiyu spent ten years of hard work to give this big cake to Yuanshang. up.

Then this cake is not painted, it is called long-term planning, and it is called long-term state-owned strategy.

"Chen..." Yu Qian was about to decline, but was kicked by Shi Heng, signaling Yu Qian not to refuse.

Shi Heng didn't remind Yu Qian that rejecting the emperor's reward before the soldiers set off was a sign of defeat and bad omen, but reminded Yu Qian that in his capacity, he could not refuse any reward from His Majesty.

Your Majesty has to take it.

It would be fine if Yu Qian was just a simple prince, but he is still the head of all officials.

At the same time as the Shixun of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Qian is also the head of the officials of the Ming Dynasty. This position is envied and hated by others. How many people are staring at this position eagerly. It is fine for others to reject His Majesty, but Yu Qian cannot.

Your Majesty's trust is one thing, but the ability of the villains to separate people cannot be underestimated.

It's okay for Yu Qian to accept it, but if he doesn't accept it, when a group of people coax together, Yu Qian will be in bad luck.

"I accept it." Yu Qian finally accepted His Majesty's promise, and the day when he triumphantly triumphantly will be the day when he becomes a Duke.

Yu Qian still felt that he was unworthy. After all, he was in charge of military affairs in the army, and Shi Heng fought all the battles. In the end, he also wanted to get this military merit, which is really a bit guilty.

Daming has so many governors in military affairs, but he is the only one who has repeatedly bestowed favors on Shixun.

Then Zhu Qiyu also had something to say, there are so many military governors in Daming, isn't that the only one who can save Daming?

If there were more people like Yu Qian in Daming, Zhu Qiyu would wake up laughing from his dream.

Every time King Xiang discussed the court situation, he had to exclude Yu Qian, because Yu Qian couldn't be treated with common sense.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Shi Heng and asked, "Where is Marquis Wuqing?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!" Shi Heng said carelessly. He was different from the hypocritical Yu Qian. If His Majesty gave it to him, he wanted it. If His Majesty didn't, he could only watch helplessly, hoping that His Majesty would give it to him.

"You." Zhu Qiyu smiled and shook his head. Shi Heng seemed rough, but after ten years as the chief military officer of the capital, he became a lot more tactful.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and asked again: "Marquis Wuqing has been pampered and respected for ten years, can he still mount a horse and fight?"

What Zhu Qiyu asked was not about Marquis Wu Qing's level of combat skills, he inspected the military horses every day, and he knew that Shi Heng's bravery was still there, but it was different now from Jingtai's early years.

In the 14th year of Zhengtong's Battle of the Capital, Shi Heng was barefoot. He had just come out of the imperial prison.

The current Shi Heng is the chief military officer of the Beijing camp and Wu Qinghou of the Ming Dynasty.

What Zhu Qiyu asked was whether Shi Heng still had the courage to continue fighting.

Shi Heng grinned and said: "I want to issue a military order, but if your Majesty refuses to let me, I can still fight and dare to fight."

"The minister in the capital understands that the soft knife of Chaotang is the most terrifying when it kills people. It was not until Xiao Xun was taken that he figured out a little taste."

"I'm stupid, I only know how to go straight. If I have a little deeper fellowship with them, I'm afraid I will be tricked immediately."

"Are you still stupid?" Zhu Qiyu asked back.

Shi Heng said very positively: "I'm really stupid. I'm a man of temperament. If there is humiliation, if others provoke you again, then I will die without a place to bury you. It's better to fight with your head on your belt. It's life." It's all about death."

"The man should die in the wilderness, and his ears should be buried in a horse leather shroud!"

The greatest honor for a soldier should be to die in battle, not in a dog fight, this is what Shi Heng wanted to express.

After all, Shi Heng is a warrior and a man of temperament. If he is instigated by others to do something unbearable, he may become the next King Zheng.

If it weren't for the fact that King Jili was truly merciless and ungrateful, in the original historical line, Shi Heng made great contributions in the change of seizing the door, and within three years King Jili pulled Shi Heng off the list.

Between one thought, the difference between one thought.

"Your Majesty, this is not the way to go to the Martial Arts Hall. It has also passed Tai'an Palace. Where are we going, Your Majesty?" Shi Heng looked out the window and asked a little strangely.

"No, I went to Chaoyangmen." Zhu Qiyu affirmed Shi Heng's statement. He didn't go to the martial arts hall, nor did he go back to Tai'an Palace, but came to Chaoyangmen, which he likes to come to on weekdays.

Zhu Qiyu took out the fire card of the Secretary of the General Administration to participate in the administration of state affairs, and walked up the city gate step by step. As soon as he entered the city gate, it suddenly became clear that outside the houses outside the city wall, it was no longer the darkness that was devoured by choosing people.

Outside the Wufeng Tower, the lights were brightly lit.

A group of people watched the sparks of thousands of families light up the road from Chaoyangmen to Tongzhou, and they were all silent.

Zhu Qiyu leaned on the railing and said calmly: "Why all the hard work? Just for the sake of this, the lights of thousands of houses are on at sunset and off at night. It seems ordinary, but it is a grand scene in the world."

The scene in front of Zhu Qiyu is called Time.

The reason why he brought Shi Heng and Yu Qian to Chaoyang Gate was to say why.

Who I am, where I come from, and where I am going are the three philosophies of life.

And to figure out where to go, one must figure out why in order to get there.

For what, to understand this problem is the only way for people without self.

If you want to go from having self to non-self, from non-self to true self, this step-by-step road must not be missed.

Zhu Qiyu said in a low voice: "Sometimes I feel tired looking at the table full of memorials, feel sleepy looking at countless state affairs, and feel tired watching the dog fights in the court, but every time I come to This Chaoyang Gate, if you sit and take a look, you will feel that everything is worth it."

He pointed to a place and said: "The house over there is the home of hardworking Liu Qi. He built a new tile-roofed house last year. Now he has two sons, one is four years old and the other is one and a half years old."

Chapter 845 One sentence is worth a thousand troops

Zhu Qiyu is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He has been on the Nine Heavens for a long time. Is it true that he can't see the life of the people at the bottom?

Zhu Qiyu could see, and often saw, that these common people, who were regarded as wormwood by many courtiers and influential figures, were the main body and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. He kept this in mind until today.

So he knew that Liu Qi had built a house in the past few years, and had another child who was still crawling on the ground. When he was born, he weighed six catties and six taels, and he was a fat boy, but Liu Qi was going to be poor.

"Lucky Ming." Yu Qian looked at the direction His Majesty was pointing at. There was a brick house, although it was not extravagant, although it was not magnificent, but it was such an ordinary brick house, but it was a shelter for the common people. Home.

Yu Qian's sentence about the luck of Ming Dynasty, is he saying that Liu Qi's fate was changed by Ming's luck, or that His Majesty's existence is due to Daming's luck, or maybe both.

"How about following me tomorrow to observe the people's sentiments? I have heard about a commotion recently, and I am very interested." Zhu Qiyu was talking to Shi Heng and Yu Qian, but his tone was as cold as the weather in the capital.

Yu Qian was keenly aware of it, and His Majesty became murderous.

Even if Xiao Xun set up such a conspiracy, His Majesty's tone was not so cold, nor even as angry as it is now. It can be seen that His Majesty was definitely going to kill someone when he went to watch the excitement this time.

Shi Heng shivered suddenly, he was the one who knew His Majesty best.

In many cases, His Majesty is a good talker.

For example, this time Xiao Xun's conspiracy caused King Xiang to fall into the vortex of injustice, and King Zheng died under his own hatred because he couldn't restrain himself. Even though he expressed his attitude and supported His Majesty in sending the dog to Jieyuan, His Majesty still gave Xiao Po a trace of decency, and His Majesty never said such a cold word.

There are a few things in His Majesty's heart that cannot be touched, such as Tai'an Palace, such as Jinyiwei, such as Yebushu, such as the people of Ming Dynasty, obviously someone offended His Majesty's Nilin.

"Your Majesty will be free tomorrow, let's watch the excitement with His Majesty!" Shi Heng stood up straight, and responded with a slightly stern voice.

Wherever His Majesty's sword points, the Ming army will plow there.

"One minister." Yu Qian knew that he had to find a way to persuade Renshu, otherwise His Majesty would start a real fire, and it would be the fury of Emperor Zhenwu alive. It would be strange if the capital didn't make huge waves.

This year's New Year's Day, a Xiao Xun is already enough to make people worry, but this is another moth, whether to let people celebrate the New Year or not?

Yu Qian walked at the end, and whispered a few times with Xing'an, Xing'an kept his mouth shut, that is, he didn't say a word about tomorrow's observation of the people's sentiments.

On weekdays, Xing'an would always reveal some news in advance, but if he didn't reveal it today, it was obviously tomorrow's matter, His Majesty really valued it.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Qiyu woke up early, dressed in ordinary clothes, not silk or satin, and wearing a jacket underneath, dressed like ordinary people.

Shi Heng and Yu Qian came to the martial arts hall early in the morning to wait. They were dressed like your majesty and ordinary people, but no matter how they tried to hide it, they couldn't conceal their aura.

A pendant that Shi Heng thought was ordinary was something that ordinary people could only afford with money that they could not earn in their lifetime, even if they could earn money, they would not be able to buy a good thing.

Zhu Qiyu led Shi Heng and Yu Qian through Chaoyang Gate, and came to the neighborhood of the houses outside Chaoyang Gate, and then began to explain today's bustle.

Zhu Qiyu said as he walked: "The butcher Zhang of the grass temple outside the Chaoyang Gate, his ancestors have been doing this kind of flesh and blood business for generations. Their family is called Butcher Zhang, their father is called Butcher Zhang, and their son is also called Butcher Zhang. Little Zhang butcher."

"This grandson should have been called Xiao Xiaozhang butcher, but this accident happened. After 14 years of orthodoxy, the civil engineering and the world changed, and 50 Chengding was gone. There are not many Chengding in this capital."

"This little butcher Zhang was conscripted into the Beijing camp and sent to a house outside the city gate to resist the intrusion of the Oirats."

"Although this little butcher does blood and meat business and kills a lot of pigs, he has never killed anyone. He was trembling with fright on the battlefield, but after all, he picked up the armaments I allocated from the arsenal, and went out of the city with the crowd. The Oirats went to fight with their lives."

Today's hustle and bustle itself, even the people of Ming Dynasty, are also soldiers of Ming Dynasty, these are two kinds of people that the emperor must never touch in his heart.

Zhu Qiyu continued: "This little butcher Zhang was lucky and survived on the battlefield. After all, in the battle of the capital, our Daming fought very well and won easily. The side that wins has a higher chance of surviving. This little Zhang The butcher survived and got a first merit card."

"It's been more than ten years in a flash."

"This little butcher Zhang has traveled north and south with the Beijing camp over the years. He has been to Hetao, and he has also followed us to the south to suppress the rebellion. He has been to Guizhou to quell the Yang family's rebellion in Bozhou. The most recent time he went to Jiaozhi. When he attacked Shenglong, because of his seniority , became the first batch of soldiers to enter the city to maintain order in Thang Long."

"Such a soldier, can he be called a veteran of hundreds of battles? Can it be said that he has made meritorious service for Daming?"

"Naturally!" Shi Heng immediately replied, with such seniority as a veteran, Shi Heng's mind flashed a few names, and immediately found a few vague figures.

There are not many people with this experience in the Beijing camp itself, and even Shi Heng, the chief military officer of the capital, has never participated in the Battle of Jiaozhi.

The Ming Dynasty Jingying eliminated several times, and every time the elite soldiers were selected, some people quit the army, and Shi Heng could still remember the remaining old battalion sergeants.

These people are called old family members in Jingying.

"Then since he has made contributions to Daming, it is only natural for me to meet him."

"Now, Butcher Zhang died not long ago, and Butcher Zhang can't fight anymore. When the soldiers are eliminated in the autumn battlefield this year, Butcher Zhang is also on the list of veterans." Zhu Qiyu's tone became more and more stern. .

Shouldn't Daming's household registration be that his sons and grandchildren can't be changed, the grandfather is a jailer, and the great-grandson is also a jailer?

This was indeed the case before 14 years of orthodoxy, but after the civil engineering change, Yu Shaobao once presided over the transfer of military households to civilian households. At that time, more than a hundred people in the old camp who stayed behind in the capital chose military households to civilian households, and chose to fight cowardly. .

The emperor of Ming Dynasty and Shaobao did not embarrass them, but earned them a private household and released them to their relatives.

Afterwards, these military households eliminated by the Beijing camp will be converted into civilian households, and if they join the army, they will be transferred from civilian households to military households. This has become one of the many changes in the Ming army.

The reform of this system was originally to transform civilian households into military households to resist the subjugation of the country by captives. Later, it continued to be implemented mainly for the quality of military resources.

This kind of ancestors have been military households for generations, not all ancestors are suitable for joining the army, nor are all ancestors suitable for fighting the enemy.

Zhu Qiyu finally talked about today's lively content, walked step by step to a brick house and said: "This little butcher Zhang, after he came out of the Beijing camp, he became a black household, and he failed to change from a military household to a civilian household as he wished." , The military households are gone, and the civilian households are not left behind, so it is black."

"Little butcher Zhang has to solve a problem, that is, butcher Zhang is indeed the son of butcher Zhang."

"This butcher is buried in the ground. Is it possible to climb out, tell the elders that this man is really my son, and then climb back?"

"That's so inappropriate."

"It's unreasonable!" Shi Heng immediately became angry. The Ming army was about to start the Northern Expedition. How could Shi Heng not be angry when something like this happened here?

But it is difficult for a general at Shi Heng's level to understand such a thing.

How did His Majesty know?

His Majesty has obviously been paying attention to these veterans in the Beijing camp, and only then did he know.

"Last year, four veterans transferred to civilians and failed to transfer. We handed over a note to the Ministry of Household Affairs to handle the matter. This year, we went to Tongzhou from outside Chaoyangmen. Within the boundary of less than 130 miles, there were [-] There are many people." Zhu Qiyu explained the cause and effect of the excitement.

Last year, Zhu Qiyu thought it was an accident, but this year it directly changed from four people to 130 people.

Zhu Qiyu walked into the home of the butcher Xiaozhang. After returning from the army, the butcher Xiaozhang was still engaged in slaughtering animals. In the barracks, he learned how to kill people. He chose to choose. If he didn’t kill people, he had to continue to kill pigs. In Butcher Zhang's house, there were several sharp knives hanging there, and the cold light was shining. Obviously, Butcher Zhang's knives were sharpened very well.

It's just that there were a few strong men standing in front of the pig-killing knives. In order to prevent the butcher Xiao Zhang from disturbing Sheng Jia, the Tiqi stood in front of them and watched all these sharp weapons that could hurt people to prevent accidents.

His Majesty will not let the Tiqi move the people's homes, they can only stand there and block these sharp weapons.

"You really are, what are you doing with such a big battle, you scared them." Zhu Qiyu looked at the appearance of the Tiqi, and could only sigh and admonish them.

Butcher Zhang and his wife and children were hiding in the house. Butcher Zhang stared out through the crack of the door with wide eyes, eyes full of curiosity.
