Chapter 1721 I want to kill Huang Taiji first!
Daigantala Palace.
In this courtyard full of Mongolian and Uzbek architectural styles, a rare visitor is here today! Zhu Youjian's queen Zhou, the eunuchs Chen Bingzheng and Qi Benzheng, the eunuchs who serve as ceremonial assistants, and the eunuch Gao, the royal horse supervisor After diving, escorted by Zhan Shifu, Zhan Shi, Kong Zhenyun and others, they finally came hundreds of miles away to meet Zhu Youjian.
Also leaving the capital with the empress were Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan, as well as Shen Tingyang, who came under the imperial edict, and Qian Qianyi, who came for a shameless stroll.
Among them, Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan stayed in the Datong Summer Palace to settle everything - the original Palace of the Prince. The two concubines and Queen Zhou also brought a group of young eunuchs and maids specially selected from the Beijing Palace... ...They are all reliable people. From now on, Zhu Youjian and his family will let these people serve them.
Shen Tingyang and Qian Qianyi sent a secret report to Zhu Youjian - it was written by Sun Chengzong, the imperial censor of Zuodu, who joined the Central Eunuch Party to seek to establish the blessed king Zhu Changxun!
Moreover, this secret report also received the support of Queen Zhou, who was pregnant with Liujia!
"Long live my lord, after the deceptive memorials of King Dai and others were sent to the capital, most of the eunuchs in the court and those who controlled the capital camp and the royal guards wanted to welcome King Fu! Only Donglin gentlemen like Mr. Sun and Xu Banban, Shang Banban, Zhou Banban, Wang Banban, Gao Banban and other chambermaids as well as Queen Yi'an want to raise the child in my belly..."
The one who was snitching in the main hall of Daigentala Palace was Empress Zhou - she came all the way from Beijing to Daigentala just to complain!
She really hated those eunuchs and nobles! She actually wanted to establish King Fu... What she was carrying in her belly must be a son! Zhu Youjian also thought he was a son, and even gave him a name. His name is Zhu Cihong!
Those treacherous ministers actually refused to wait and wanted to establish King Fu. Even if they were killed, they would not be able to forgive their hatred!
Zhu Youjian was sitting on a chair, holding Sun Chengzong's memorial in his hand, looking over it over and over - this is a good thing!
It is the memorial for the leader of the Donglin Party to impeach King Fu Zhu Changxun!
That is Grandpa Wanli’s favorite King of Fortune!
Wangzhuang alone has 20,000 hectares...that's two million acres! At that time, Henan Province couldn't get that much official land, and later it was only possible to get the fertile farmland in Shandong and Huguang together.
In addition, a considerable part of Zhang Juzheng's embezzled property was also allocated to Prince Fu. From Yangzhou to Taiping, Anhui, various miscellaneous taxes along the river were also allocated to Prince Fu. In addition, the income from salt wells in Sichuan and part of the income from Huai salt were also allocated to Prince Fu. Returned to Fu Mansion...the real wealth is incomparable to that of a country!
Zhu Youjian spends money lavishly these days, and he doesn't know how to make money (he and Nizi have been studying for fifty years, but they have never learned to make money), so money is already a bit tight.
Moreover, Zhu Youjian hated Zhu Yousong, the son of the King of Fortune Zhu Changxun... in his last life (he helped the traitor to force him into the palace)! Can he let Zhu Yousong's father go in this life?
However, although King Fu Zhu Changxun was so rich that he could rival the country, that was not a crime that could cut down the vassal and eliminate the country. His money was given by his parents, and it was fair and aboveboard. Zhu Youjian couldn't just confiscate it!
Now it's fine, the charges are finally established... Someone is planning to establish the King of Fortune!
This is sin!
If King Fu was not ambitious, how could others seek to establish him?
In addition... Sun Chengzong also said in the memorial that Guangmiao (Ming Guangzong) and Ximiao (Ming Xi Zong) both died strangely, and they were probably killed by traitors who planned to establish King Fu!
Haha, a suspected regicide!
Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian was in a really good mood... He collected the memorial, then asked Queen Zhou to rest, and then asked Qian Qianyi and Shen Tingyang to come.
After Qian and Shen paid a grand ceremony, Zhu Youjian gave the other two seats, and then smiled and said to Qian Qianyi who was already sitting on an embroidered pier: "Qian Qing is the leader of Donglin and is qualified to join the cabinet. , But now there is no shortage of cabinet ministers, and there are also ministers and ministers in the six ministries, so how about becoming a young official and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy first?"
Shao Zhanshi is an official of the East Palace. Now that Zhu Youjian has no son, Shao Zhanshi has no real power. But the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is very powerful! The responsibility of the Hanlin Academy is to preside over imperial edicts and historical annals to examine and discuss the system. Details Official documents, prepared for the emperor's advisors - Of course, after the cabinet authority of the Ming Dynasty became increasingly more authoritative, the most important imperial edict among the responsibilities of the Hanlin bachelors, that is, the power to write imperial edicts, was vested in the cabinet bachelors.
But Zhu Youjian is now an emperor who is freed from the control of court officials. He does not have a cabinet bachelor around him (he wanted to recruit Huang Liji, but Huang Shoufu found an excuse to push it away). He only has the chief of etiquette and the pen, so he needs Someone replaced the cabinet bachelor to draft the decree. Now Qian Qianyi came to his door, which was exactly what Zhu Youjian wanted.
However, Zhu Youjian does not intend to seize the power of the cabinet yet, nor does he intend to overthrow the eunuch party... because he is quite satisfied with the current cabinet. And he also knows that he cannot expect to purge the cabinet to promote any new policies. , only the New Army can truly promote the New Deal!
Before the new army is established, the cabinet will play a guarding and maintenance role. There is no need to put too much hope in them, and there is no need to expend too much energy in trying to outwit them.
Therefore, Zhu Youjian didn't want to argue with those people every day. From now on, he would just let the Hanlin bachelor and the chief of etiquette help handle the votes and memorials sent by the cabinet.
"Shen Tingyang, right?" After arranging Qian Qianyi's position, Zhu Youjian turned his attention to Shen Tingyang and Shen Caishen... This was the humerus of the traitor back then!
"The student is Shen Tingyang." Shen Tingyang looked a little restrained, holding his knees with his hands, and he didn't look like a profiteer at all.
Zhu Youjian smiled and asked: "Did you go north to open up China-France and Nanliang Shipping?"
Sun Chengzong specially wrote a memorial for Shen Tingyang, firstly to recommend him; secondly, to help Shen Tingyang promote his method of transporting grain by sea.
Because the Yellow River captured the Huaihe River in the late Northern Song Dynasty, problems occurred in the three important rivers of the Yellow River, Huaihe River, and Yun River. The source of the problem was the huge amount of sediment brought by the Yellow River! After these sediments rushed into the Huaihe River, they began to flow in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River and Hongze River. The siltation in the lake continuously raised the river bed and lake bed, causing the Huaihe River entrance to the sea to gradually become silted up, and Hongze Lake also hung over the heads of the Huai and Yang prefectures.
After the Wanli Year, the floods in the Huaihe River became more and more serious, reaching the point where floods occurred every two or three years, which had a serious impact on the agricultural production in the Huaihe River Basin. There is only one way to solve this problem - to interrupt The canal was built, and the Yellow River's channel into the sea was excavated in Huaibei, so that the sediment from the Yellow River would no longer enter the Huaihe River.
If the canal is not interrupted, but allowed to intersect with the Yellow River, the sediment from the Yellow River will soon raise the channel at the intersection of the two rivers, and it won't be long before the Yellow River turns into a "high wall" and cuts off the canal.
Therefore, after the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing, in order to maintain the absolute security of Beijing's food supply, the country adopted the policy of "abandoning the Huaihe River to ensure transportation" and letting the sediment from the Yellow River flow into the Huaihe River...
"Your Majesty," Shen Tingyang nodded, "if we want to open a border between China and France to supply food to the Liao army, the amount of food shipped northward by sea every year would already amount to millions of dan, which is equivalent to the amount of grain from the canal... As long as we continue to With twice as many sand ships, it is completely feasible to replace canal transport with sea transport. After sea transport replaces canal transport, the channel of the Yellow River into the sea can be excavated. In this way, the lower reaches of the Huai River will no longer be silted up, and the Huai River will not flood year after year. It will be able to save the Huaizhou along the Countless lives in the county have been saved from disaster."
Zhu Youjian actually doesn't care about the devastation of life... But the lack of floods in the Huaihe River will greatly increase Huai's grain production! This will alleviate the overall tight grain supply problem.
If you have food in your hands, you won’t panic in your heart!
