Zhu Qiyu naturally calculated that someone would cause trouble, but he was sure that it was within his own ability to deal with it, and he was very sure that he would not be overthrown by the feudal king's rebels.

He had really carefully calculated that there were a total of eighteen princes in the lineage that still existed in the entire world, and among them, only Prince Xiang Zhu Zhanzhen was able to carry the banner of rebellion.

But Zhu Zhanzhen was a very irresponsible person. The Wala army went south and invited his Jinyin to come to Beijing to be the emperor, but he didn't come.

Now even the gold seal is in Zhu Qiyu's hands.

Even if something goes wrong, it will be within Zhu Qiyu's tolerance.

"Your Majesty, didn't the treasure of orthodoxy, King Jili's seal, fall into the Jinshui River? I asked someone to lower the gate, drain the water, and found it." Xing'an held a piece of seal and placed it in front of the case.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at it, waved his hand and said, "Just put it away."

There is a book in Zhu Qiyu's hand, which tells the story of Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty after his hunting in the north. It is called "Strange Stories of the Northern Hunting". If you didn't look at the name, you would have thought it was a book about Zhu Qizhen.

But this book is indeed adapted from the Song Dynasty's "Records of Beishou Seeing and Hearing".

The wonderful thing about this book is that every word is about Zhao Huan, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, but between the lines, you can always read the story of Zhu Qizhen.

Such as the poignant grassland love story, such as not thinking about the Song Dynasty, such as talking about Huqin, such as knocking on the door at the gate of Jiankang City in Xiangyang, and finally knocking on the door of Lin'an during the Southern Song Dynasty.

If this were left to future generations, there would be no way a TV series with a big heroine, a big IP, and a star-studded cast would be produced.

Zhu Qiyu took the book "The Strange Records of Northern Hunting" and asked with a strange look on his face: "Who wrote it? The writings of these literati are really murderous without blood. King Jili is already dead, and he still wants to punish him."

?”

Xing'an hurriedly said: "It was written by a person named Huayang Cave Master. As for who it is, I'm not sure who it is. The Ru'an Poetry Society sent it to Academician Chen, but they only received this manuscript."

In fact, these novels with serious political overtones in the early Ming Dynasty did not have specific signatures and were replaced by pen names, and it is unknown who the author was.

For example, the author of "Jin Ping Mei", the masterpiece in Zhu Qiyu's mind, is Lan Ling Xiaoxiaosheng, and the author is also a dragon who sees the beginning but not the end.

"Seal, open the seal, and seal it if someone sees it." Zhu Qiyu put the book on his desk, and he was worried about Zhu Qizhen's bad things.

I know it so clearly, I have already experienced it once, and it seems redundant to look at it again.

Xing'an said cheerfully: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has urged your Majesty to select girls. This time there are four people left. Except for Tang Guiren, the remaining three are all handsome, dignified, slim and beautiful.

Unparalleled."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "If you have nothing to do, let's go and take a look."

He came out of Cining Palace, thought about it seriously for a long time, and understood to some extent what the Queen Mother Sun meant. After all, as the legitimate mother, it was now a foregone conclusion that the evildoers would be rampant.

So how can the children and grandchildren prosper if today is postponed to tomorrow and tomorrow is postponed to the day after tomorrow when it comes to talent show girls?

Zhu Qiyu happened to have some free time, so he chose one and then went to the Baoyuan Bureau in Ming Dynasty.

The place of selection is in the palace. Once you are surrounded by your majesty, you will live in the palace and wait for your majesty's selection. You will not be able to leave the palace for a while. Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. From then on, Xiao Lang is a passerby.

Zhu Qiyu did know some resentful poems written by palace poets.

But this kind of rule does not hold true here.

Because he lives in Tai'an Palace, those rules that are bigger than the sky do not apply to Zhu Qiyu at all, because he is the sky of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as Hu Xi, the Minister of Rites, heard that His Majesty had entered the palace to see the beautiful women in Yeting, he immediately rushed from Wenyuan Pavilion to Yeting.

Today, we must! Let Your Majesty handle this matter!

One queen, three wives, and nine concubines. The emperor’s ancestral precepts did not allow the ninth concubine, but these three ladies must make up for it!

Your Majesty cannot be delayed any longer!

This matter has been delayed for almost nine months!

Today, we must! Get this done!

As soon as Zhu Qiyu arrived in Yeting, he met Hu Hui who came running with a group of people.

"Your Majesty, we're here! But what's the point?" Hu Hui said breathlessly. He was getting older and could not run out of breath even after running a few steps. However, Hu Hui said cheerfully: "Your Majesty, take a look?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Well, let's take a look."

He sat on the bench in the courtyard, waiting for the four women to come in.

"This Tang Yunyan is a noble person appointed by His Majesty, so I won't be too talkative." Hu Hui said cheerfully: "The remaining three are all well-educated and sensible people, with good nature and good nature."

"The first Li Xi'er, his father Li Hongyu, is from Shaanxi. He was the chief minister of Wei Qian in Ningxia, Shaanxi. He once served as an official under the Marquis of Ningyang and achieved the fourth level of decapitation. In the fifth year of orthodoxy, the Marquis of Ningyang deposed him.

This President Li Qian will be dismissed."

"In this battle of the capital, Mr. Li Qian also served as the commander of the Siwei Regiment, Weiyao Camp, and the Three Thousand Battalions. He was good at using firearms. Unfortunately, in the battle of Xizhimen, Mr. Li Qian was hit by an arrow in the knee, and his legs and feet became weak.

, I can’t ride a horse, and now I’m teaching in the martial arts hall.”

Hu Hui had some speculations about some of His Majesty's preferences. For example, this Li Xi'er was dignified and beautiful, and her family was clean. The most important thing was that this was someone chosen by His Majesty in his territory.

Hu Hui has an extremely keen sense of politics. As an evergreen tree in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty for forty years, Hu Hui is extremely good at figuring out the holy will.

If you stuff people into His Majesty's Tai'an Palace, that's just the old man who thinks he has a long life.

He, Hu Hu, wanted to see the Ming Dynasty return to the prosperous age of Yongle again before closing his eyes.

"Meet you." Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.

Wang Meilin is a strong-willed woman, Hang Xian is Xiaojiabiyu, Tang Yunyan is the kind who still wants to talk but still holds her pipa half-hiding her face, and Li Xier is full of peach blossoms and smiles in the spring breeze, and every spring water is full of love.

Li Xier has a slim and plump figure, which means she is longer if she increases by one point, and shorter if she decreases by one point. She has a pair of watery eyes, showing some shyness and avoidance.

His majesty's prowess and prowess are widely known in the capital. He seizes the flag at Desheng Gate and parades his troops and horses day and night, never slacking off.

Which woman in the capital wouldn't be sentimental about these things? Wouldn't she want to be fucked over?

After nearly a thousand people were selected and passed round after round, I finally met His Majesty.

This trip has been well worth it.

Hu Xi said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, Li Xi'er's mother is the Wu family, and she was originally a musician in Taichang Temple. Therefore, Li Xi'er is proficient in playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, playing silk and bamboo, painting, talking with her hands, and drumming."

, caroling, kicking balls, dancing, and drinking, I am proficient in all of them."

Li Xi'er's father was from a very good family background, but Li Xi'er's mother, Mrs. Wu, was a musician. This was not a bad background, but she was from an official family, not a prostitute from the Jiaofang Division.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "No problem."

Origin is not a problem, Li Xier's tutor is obviously good, and his temperament does not look like someone who lives in a restless family.

As long as you can have children.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "See you Tang Yunyan again."

Tang Yunyan came from outside the palace, apparently poked her head in, and smiled when she saw Zhu Qiyu.

When there was a big banquet, she ran to see him secretly.

Tang Yunyan's face was a little red, and she pursed her lips. Her skin was as clear as the morning glow reflecting on the snow, and as clear as a hibiscus that had just emerged from the water. Her expression was a little surprised, and then she slowly walked forward and said timidly:

"See your majesty, your majesty pays you the most holy greetings."

"Good morning." Zhu Qiyu nodded calmly again.

Last time at the big banquet, I only took a look at her from a distance and saw only her eyes that were as bright as stars and half of her stunningly pretty face. But when I got closer and took a closer look, I saw that she was indeed a beauty.

His steps are like light clouds coming out of a distant place, and his voice is like white stones crossing a quiet spring.

This kind of temperament makes the house restless at first glance.

Zhu Qiyu finally understood why there is such a term as beauty is a disaster.

He was sure that he could also have children.

Zhu Qiyu stood up and said: "I won't read the following. Just these two, circle them. I still have something to do. Xing'an, you take me to see the Empress Dowager Sun, and then take me to Tai'an Palace to meet my mother."

"I still have to go to Baoyuan Bureau to have a look."

"Farewell to Your Majesty." The two pretty ladies stared at each other for a long time, with astonishment in their eyes. They heard that His Majesty was acting vigorously and resolutely, but they didn't expect that he would act so vigorously and resolutely!

Hu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, His Majesty finally settled the matter.

After Zhu Qiyu left Yeting, he got on his horse and went straight to Baoyuan Bureau.

Baoyuan Bureau, affiliated to the Ministry of Industry, was the coin-minting institution of the Ming Dynasty. However, Baoyuan Bureau minted copper coins.

According to the Ming Dynasty's ancestral prohibition on gold and silver, Baoyuan Bureau was not allowed to use gold and silver to mint coins, so they minted copper coins every day.

In order to promote the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, in the 26th year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty ordered the Baoyuan bureaus in various places to be abolished, and the large-scale coinage stopped.

There are only two Baoyuan bureaus left, Yingtian Mansion and Shuntian Mansion.

Before the 26th year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty minted copper coins twice, totaling more than 400 million coins, equivalent to about 200,000 taels of silver.

The Ministry of Planning is also slowly playing a role. They calculated that according to the preliminary budget of the number of people in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty needs to cast 2 billion to 3 billion copper plates every year to ensure the use of the Ming Dynasty. In other words, each person must have 50 new copper plates.

use.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, 3 billion copper coins were minted every year.

However, the total annual minting of Nanjing and Beijing Baoyuan Bureaus is less than 20 million copper coins, which is equivalent to about 30,000 taels of silver.

What is this concept?

In the fourth year of Jingtai, that is, 1453, the day Constantinople was renamed Istanbul, the Japanese paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, using silver, women, minerals, etc. in exchange for more than 51 million copper coins of the Ming Dynasty.
