Chapter 116 The second morning court is coming

 Early in the morning on September 10th.

Zhu Youxiao changed into his uniform and walked through the three main halls.

The three main halls had been damaged during the Wanli period, but the mutiny this time caused new scars.

The palace was busy cleaning at first, but after he asked the palace people to take care of it initially, he didn't touch the place too much.

Do you want to redo it?

During the period from Wanli to Taichang, the three main palaces happened to be damaged and were being slowly repaired. This time, Qianqing Palace and Cining Palace, the palaces of the emperor and the queen mother, were added.

The three main palaces and the two main palaces will cost a lot of money to look new.

Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly. He estimated that he could get several million taels of silver from the house raid, but would it be used to rebuild them?

No.

After all, I am a modern person, and I know that the war is very tense, and the Ming army, which is not satisfied with the pay, is living in the open air. How can it survive the plundering, plundering, starvation and clothing, and then accumulate meat and grain to feed the Eight Banners? ?

Silver and grain are both sharp and cannot be used in the three main palaces, Qianqing Palace, and Cining Palace.

He has two plans for the future of the palace.

That is not to do any repairs, but only to do maintenance and cleaning work, so that the three main halls, Qianqing Palace, and Cining Palace can remain in their current dilapidated appearance.

One is to make reservations for nobles and wealthy businessmen from all over the world, and pay a fee to visit. You can make a lot of money by using tickets and sponsorship fees. With this money, you can slightly increase the repair efforts and slowly restore the original appearance.

The three main halls, Qianqing Palace, and Cining Palace currently combine the highest achievements of the Ming Dynasty's architectural art. During the renovation process, we specially invited the Ming Dynasty's proficient builders and skilled craftsmen to visit. It will greatly improve their construction technology and improve the Ming Dynasty's architectural level. Benefits.

Zhu Youxiao loves architecture, and is especially knowledgeable in carpentry. His other half comes from later generations, and he is committed to industrial upgrading. No matter which industry, he will consider it from the perspective of industrial upgrading.

The construction industry involves people's livelihood, and industrial upgrading is more promising than any other industry. In the era he lived in in his previous life, China was crazy about civil engineering and infrastructure. Now it can be developed, and even if it is utilitarian, it can make a lot of money.

Construction requires materials, mathematics and physics. Encouraging the development of new architecture on a large scale can in turn promote the development of basic science and technology such as materials, mathematics and physics.

Industrial upgrading and the development of science and technology are complementary to each other. The industrial upgrading of military industry, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and sideline fisheries and the comprehensive upgrading of the construction industry will raise the overall national strength of Ming Dynasty to a higher level in the short term.

The dilapidated palace is also kept. On the one hand, it is a shame. It tells the world that the royal family suffered this rebellion, which is indeed detrimental to its majesty. However, the royal family knows its shame and becomes brave, and has always used this as an excuse to beat dishonest people.

The second is to specially invite proficient builders and skilled craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty to visit, and they will not be charged admission fees. Let everyone participate in the design and construction of the future palace and imperial city.

It is planned to use the three main halls as boundaries, the Meridian Gate, Wuying Hall, and Wenhua Hall outside to build a university hall, an academy of sciences, and a weapons museum, which are open to limited visits and mainly serve the functions of office and research.

Although the private part of the palace is smaller in this way, it is still much larger than the Nanjing Imperial City during Lao Zhu's period.

In addition, the University Hall, Academy of Sciences, and Weapons Museum all belong to the royal family, and the latest research results are promoted right around you.

After walking through here, we arrived at Huangji Gate and prepared to go to court.

The upper floor of the Meridian Gate is named "Five Phoenixes", and there are bells and drums, which are in charge of the eunuchs of the Bell and Drum Department. The bells ring first, and then the drums are beaten.

The civil and military personnel entered the court in two groups, with Wen from the left Yemen and Wu from the right Yemen. After entering, they first stood in the order of grades in the south of Jinshui Bridge, waiting for the whip, and then crossed the bridge one by one to reach Fengtianmen Danqi.

The left class (east class) and Wu were the right class (west class). They stood waiting facing each other on both sides of the royal road.

There is a throne in the middle of the upper corridor of Huangji Gate, which is called the "Golden Platform".

On the left and right sides of Danbi, the bell and drum divisions set up music, and between the pillars of the palace gates were lined up "generals of the Han Dynasty", all wearing Ming Dynasty iron armor; on the left and right sides of the royal road and behind the civil and military officers' squads, there were captains holding swords facing each other.

Taichang did not go to the morning court today because he was feeling unwell. After the Crown Prince took his seat, he blew his whip again and Honglu Temple "sung" to enter the class. The two classes on the left and right entered the royal road together and arranged their classes again.

After the ceremony, the officials of Honglu Temple proclaimed their thanks to the throne, and saw the number of people who had resigned. These people had signed up in the temple booklet the day before yesterday, and at this time, they performed the five-bow and three-kowtow ceremony in the courtyard or outside the Meridian Gate.

This time, the officials were not all in plain clothes, but wore official uniforms.

When the concubine or the prince passes away, it is a routine practice to "abstain from the court ceremony", ranging from one to three days.

Concubine Zheng is not the Queen or the Queen Mother, so the three-day mourning period has ended. This time all the officials are wearing red, blue and green court uniforms.

Nine days have passed since the last morning court meeting, but it seems like just yesterday that Zhu Youxiao took charge of the overall situation and impressed all the civil and military officials that day.

Many civil servants, censors, officials, princes, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Wucheng Bingmasi, Shuntianfu, Imperial students, and even the Beijing camp and Xuanfu cavalry were all treated by him like chopping melons and vegetables.

There are countless civil servants and generals who are indirectly involved. If the prince oversees the country to settle accounts after the fall, it is estimated that more than half of the ministers who participated in the morning court will be involved.

Those who directly participated in the rebellion should be arrested, and those whose homes should be ransacked have already begun.

Although the Crown Prince has said that he will not pursue those who fund the rebels, those who cheer for the rebels, and those who sit on the fence and watch, most of them still live in fear. They don't know when they will be caught, their property will be confiscated, and their families will go to work.

More than half of them have bribed several people involved in the case, and many officials have been bribed or profit-sharing by Wang Gongchang. Some officials have been on the list of Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, for recovering stolen goods.

Some people have already coughed up part of the stolen money, and some are selling off their land and property to repay the stolen money. Will the prince overseeing the country let things go by the wayside?

The hearts of these officials were filled with 15 buckets of water. Some of them were taking chances, some of them left behind their words before leaving home, and some of them were already numb. Since they could not change, they could only accept punishment.

.

After the pilgrimage, the ceremony began. But last time we talked about many issues for this morning's morning pilgrimage, so let's start with Dongchang, Jinyiwei and Jingying.

Liu Ruoyu stepped forward and began to announce according to the plan:

"The commander of the Jin Yiwei, Liu Qiao, was loyal, brave and dedicated to his duties. He kept His Majesty in place on the night of the rebellion and commanded 150 Jin Yiwei to defeat many rebel armies. Now Liu Qiao is promoted to the commander of the Jin Yiwei!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Liu Qiao and said: "Ai Qing can take on this position. It will be up to you to recover the glory of the Jin Yiwei in the future."

Liu Qiao came out of the queue to thank him and said, "Thank you for your trust, His Highness Jianguo. The general will definitely investigate those who are disloyal and unjust, and restore the integrity of Jinyiwei!"

Tian Ergeng of the Jinyiwei was also appointed as the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Xu Xianchun was appointed as the Fusi of the Imperial Guard.

The officials were not familiar with these two people, so they thought it was a normal promotion.

In the future we will know how cruel the new factory guards will be to these landlords in order to protect the people.
