Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Dead silence fell in the Dongnuan Pavilion. Zhu Youxiao sat back on the throne, leaning on the cushions with his eyes closed and concentrating. The wisp of sandalwood smoke was still rising.

The palace door opened, then closed again.

Zhu Youjian walked out from behind the screen with a complicated expression. The silent Dongnuan Pavilion made him feel flustered. If what he just heard was true, then what is true in this Forbidden City? What is fake?

While Zhu Youjian was thinking, Wei Zhongxian, who walked out from behind the screen, walked to the front of the emperor with a chill, his head lowered and he knelt on the ground.

Wei Zhongxian, who has great power in both the government and the public, has only one identity in the Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace, and Dongnuang Pavilion, and that is the emperor's slave!

"I don't want the fifth person to know what happened today."

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Youxiao, who had closed his eyes and was concentrating, now said, "Wei Banban, you should understand what I mean."

"The servant understands."

Wei Zhongxian, who was like sieving chaff, suppressed his fear and said: "If this matter spreads, I am willing to be punished with death!"

Wei Zhongxian, who listened from beginning to end, knew very well what his prince meant.

Concubine Liu will never leave Cining Palace in this life, including the eunuchs and eunuchs around her. They should stay in Cining Palace honestly in this life.

Wei Zhongxian even understood another meaning.

Hakka.

Although the emperor mentioned very little about it, the emperor's various behaviors after staying in the imperial court for so long and fighting against the Donglin Party in the outer court all proved one point.

The emperor was disgusted.

The emperor has had enough.

But after all, the Hakka family is the emperor's wet nurse. There are some things that the emperor cannot do, so as the emperor's domestic slave, you must know how to share the emperor's worries!

Even if Wei Zhongxian's relationship with the Hakka family is very unusual, both the inner court and the outer court know this, but so what?

"The Forbidden City is too small after all. The concubines who are living in the harem should move to Xiyuan temporarily." Zhu Youxiao slowly opened his eyes, looked down at Wei Zhongxian who was kneeling, and said calmly: "Arrange people to go there Nanyuan Palace is being renovated, and the concubines will be sent to Nanyuan to take care of themselves in the future."

"Slave, I'll do it later."

Wei Zhongxian kowtowed.

Three women in one drama, not to mention a harem with high walls and thick walls. Zhu Youxiao knew the secrets here very well.

A favor, a power, a position can make the sisters who are friends with each other fall apart, let alone the many women surrounding the emperor?

Thoroughly clean the inner court, including the harem!

Zhu Youxiao's own women can be trained slowly, but none of the concubines left by his imperial grandfather and the imperial examination can stay in the Forbidden City. If he wants to completely settle down the harem, he must Establish rules and rules are rules!

No rules, no standards!

These nominal concubines have stayed in the harem for a long time, and most of them have not been favored. Living as a widow for a long time will inevitably lead to psychological changes.

Since their era has come to an end very early, it is better to stay away from the center of power in the Forbidden City. There are too many things that are caused by instigation behind the scenes.

There are some tragedies in this!

Zhu Youxiao didn't care what happened in the past, but from now on, his clear rules are rules. It is better for the concubines who have the blessing of seniority to move out of the Forbidden City to take care of themselves.

"Brother Emperor~"

After hearing this, Zhu Youjian inevitably had some thoughts in his heart, so he raised his hands and bowed: "Will my brother also move out of the Forbidden City..."

"Did I ask you to move?"

Zhu Youxiao raised his head, looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "Has King Xin's residence been built? Where do you want to move to? Are you sleeping on the streets of the capital?"

"Brother Chen..."

Zhu Youjian was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

It was still too good to be protected by Emperor Tianqi.

Looking at Zhu Youjian's twisted state, Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly. Although Zhu Youjian was careful in the Forbidden City before, it is undeniable that because of Emperor Tianqi, he has not experienced too much. Damn it, how can the flowers grown in this greenhouse withstand strong winds and waves?

Since you are a man, you have to go through ups and downs, otherwise how can you grow up?

Zhu Youxiao will not be like Emperor Tianqi!

In the same way, Zhu Youxiao will not let Zhu Youjian grow up, or simply pretend not to see it. There are too many rotten places in Ming Dynasty.

Among them is the huge vassal clan!

Although the clan salary limit law was finalized in early May of the fifth year of Tianqi, the Jiangxi Dao Yushi Tian Zhenshu Chen Lu Limitation Law clarified that the amount of salary and silver given in the forty-eighth year of Wanli was 260,000 yuan. According to the number of clan members in each prefecture, Equilibrium, excluding the amount set by the prince himself, is based on the current number of people. In the future, as the number of descendants increases, the equal expenditure will be limited to the original amount, and the salary expenditure must not be excessive, so that the central treasury can relieve part of the burden.

Before the matter was finalized in the Xiyuan drowning case, foreign officials had already begun to push for clarification.

However, deep in Zhu Youxiao's heart, the problem of the Ming Dynasty's vassal clan is far from being truly solved. If the Ming Dynasty wants to be saved, one of the issues must be resolved.

The starting point for reforming such bad policies must start with Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youxiao must first train Zhu Youjian.

The emperor should not even think about it. From now on, he will be the clan order of the clan mansion!

Matters involving the reform of sects and clans are not only family affairs of the Zhu family, but also national affairs of the Ming Dynasty. If this matter is not resolved well, it will definitely affect the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty.

"Wei Banban, you can leave Beijing tomorrow."

Zhu Youxiao calmed down, ignored Zhu Youjian, and looked at Wei Zhongxian instead.

Training Zhu Youjian is not something that happens overnight, it must be done slowly.

After all, Zhu Youjian's character has been developed. If you want to change him, you can only broaden his horizons and let Zhu Youjian know that there is a vast world outside the Ming Dynasty, and there are many opportunities and challenges outside the Ming Dynasty!

It's ridiculous to try to change someone with words.

Zhu Youxiao would not do such stupid things.

Since we are living in the age of great navigation, what Zhu Youxiao wants is not a Ming Dynasty. He wants to ask the Ming Dynasty, which is completely out of touch with the outside world, to get involved in the great navigation again and become the overlord of this era! !

Akiba Begonia must be realized!

But what Zhu Youxiao wants is far more than Qiuye Begonia!

Zhu Youxiao wants more!

But since you want more, you need to be more patient and prepared. You have to eat the food one bite at a time and walk step by step. After all, Ming Dynasty owes too many debts, and Zhu Youxiao has to solve them one by one. OK.

"Your Majesty, don't you want to be a slave anymore?"

While Zhu Youxiao was thinking about it, Wei Zhongxian was panic-stricken. He lay on the ground with red eyes and said, "I know I was wrong. I was blinded by lard before. I..."

"Are you finished?"

Seeing Wei Zhongxian like this, Zhu Youxiao leaned forward and said in a cold tone: "When you have finished speaking, remember it in your heart instead of just relying on your mouth. I told you before that what I gave you is It’s yours, I won’t give it to you, you can’t rob it, and I won’t hold you accountable for it in the past, but you have to remember one thing, my patience has its limits.”

"I will remember this in my heart until my death!"

Wei Zhongxian kowtowed in response.

At the same time, I was secretly relieved, it turned out that the emperor didn't want to assign him.

Wei Zhongxian knew very well what distribution meant.

If he leaves the Forbidden City and the Emperor, he is nothing, and his end will be miserable!

"Take the people from Dongjishi Factory to Luoyang. I miss Uncle Wang very much, so I invited Uncle Wang and his family back to Beijing."

Zhu Youxiao, who was overlooking Wei Zhongxian and sitting on the throne, said with coldness in his words, "If you can't even handle this little thing, there's no need to go back to the capital."

King Fu? !

At this time, not only Wei Zhongxian, but also Zhu Youjian could not help but feel surprised in his heart. Why did the emperor want to summon Prince Fu's family to the capital?

You must know that Zongfan cannot return to Beijing easily.

Could it be that the case of Xiyuan falling into the water was related to King Fu who was far away in Luoyang?

This is impossible! !

For a time, Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Youjian felt panic in their hearts.

"Go down and do your work."

Zhu Youxiao didn't look at Wei Zhongxian anymore, waved his hand and said.

"The slaves obey the order."

Wei Zhongxian, who could not hide his surprise, immediately bowed and bowed.

But Wei Zhongxian knew in his heart that before he left the capital, some things must be done well so as not to cause trouble to the emperor.

At this moment, a cold light flashed across Wei Zhongxian's eyes.

On the other hand, Zhu Youjian, who was standing, had not yet come out of his panic. There were too many things that he could not understand. He thought that things would be over when he came to Liu Taifei, but judging from his royal brother's intentions, things were far from over. , everything is just beginning...
