Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Houzhao returned to the dragon chair with an ugly face!

The valet **** announced loudly: "Retreat!"

Manchu Wenwu wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead with his sleeve. The emperor's words in the courtroom just now almost made them fall down on the spot.

Most of the civil and military officials walked out in an orderly and trembling manner.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were walking out, when the **** came up to stop them and said, "Three adults, your Majesty has a purpose, after the court, the three adults will meet you at the Qianqing Palace!"

The three Gu Ming ministers suddenly looked surprised. You must know that many emperors in the previous dynasty have done things like killing the donkeys. The emperor has just ascended the throne and has power in his hands.

However, they still dare not reproach your Majesty, isn't the **** reality in front of you the best teaching material?

They didn't dare to guess the holy will, and they followed the **** to the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Houzhao also went to the Qianqing Palace to go down to the palace. He changed into a normal uniform under the service of the palace maid and entered the Qianqing Palace.

After Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others saw Zhu Houzhao, they quickly bowed their hands and said, "See Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand hurriedly, "Don't be too polite!"

After Zhu Houzhao sat down on the dragon chair, he looked around and waved his hand to ask the **** to bring some piers.

"Sit down!"

Liu Jian and the other three felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare!"

Zhu Houzhao said casually: "The three Aiqings are all my right-hand men. You mustn't be so restrained. I ask you to sit, so just sit down!"

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang listened to His Majesty's words and sat down.

From the very beginning, they were not sure of His Majesty's mind, and since Zhu Houzhao succeeded the emperor, they had never summoned them in the Qianqing Palace.

The last time at the court meeting, Li Dongyang was fined half a year's salary by His Majesty for just saying a few compliments. The emperor's mind is really hard to understand.

"How are the three Aiqings living well recently?"

Emperor Zhengde suddenly cared about their daily life, which made them even more at a loss. You must know that when His Majesty dealt with the **** some time ago, he asked the same thing.

Among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao was not a kind person. When he was the prince, he was not beaten by Emperor Hongzhi less often. Some things could be continued, such as hatred. ,

However, the more pleasant the emperor is, the more difficult it is to figure out his thoughts, and this is what makes them afraid.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang looked at each other and said to themselves, "Your Majesty really has something from the central government to hand over to them."

Liu Jian was the first to say, "The ministers and others are willing to do their best for His Majesty's heart and mind, in order to repay the trust of the late emperor."

This Liu Jian is worthy of being an old fox. After moving Emperor Hongzhi out, he will be able to play a role in the end.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly stood up and said, "Okay! I have no heart for what Mr. Liu Ge said."

Zhu Houzhao got up, picked up a memorial from the table behind him, and said, "Three adults, look at this memorial."

Liu Jian took the memorial from Zhu Houzhao doubtfully. When Liu Jian opened the memorial, he immediately felt a cold wind blowing from his back.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must not..."

On the memorial is written the family business of the three ministers of Gu Ming.

Liu Jian, ancestor Liu Rong.

He followed the Emperor Taizu Gao to fight around and made great achievements. Later, he entered the palace of King Yan and participated in the battle of Jingnan. In the ninth year of Yongle, he became the governor of the governor.

For ten years of Yongle, he went deep into the desert with Judy.

In the same year, due to his outstanding achievements, he was awarded the Earl of Guangning, which will be replaced by generations.

Liu Jian studied under Xue Han, Minister of Rites.

Up to now, the official residence is first-class, the family is rich, and there are thousands of acres of fertile land.

...

Li Dongyang, native of Changsha, Hunan, was born in the clan, entered the capital, and belongs to Jinwuwei.

...

Xie Qian, grandfather Xie Huan, the governor of Zhejiang was born...

......

After a while, the three of them stood up in fear, and did not dare to sit on the Jindun again.

Beads of sweat had fallen from their foreheads.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Three adults have served me for generations and are the pillars of my Ming."

Among the three, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang looked a little better. After all, they both knew their family well.

Only Xie Qian had a pale face. After all, his three sons were officials in various places. Although he taught his sons well and obtained official positions based on their abilities, to outsiders, this was a bit abnormal.

However, the faces of the three were not much better, and they had realized what the emperor was going to do to them.

The eunuchs have already dealt with a large number, and the civil servants have been suppressed again. Now, it is time to deal with their cabinet.

Zhu Houzhao took the memorial and said, "Liu Jian, 560 acres of fertile land, three stones per mu, and three stones per year."

"Li Dongyang, 280 acres of fertile land, three stone per mu, and three stone annual tax."

"Xie Qian, one hundred acres of fertile land, three stones per mu, and three stones per year."

As soon as Zhu Houzhao's voice fell, Xie Qian said loudly: "Your Majesty, these fields of this minister are all ancestral inheritance..."

Zhu Houzhao waved at Xie Qian and said, "I know this is your ancestral property, and I don't want your land. This Ming Dynasty belongs to me~www.wuxiahere.com~I still lack the land in your hands?"

Li Dongyang cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the fertile fields in the hands of the ministers were obtained by the ancestors of the ministers through military work. Every inch of the land was obtained by the ancestors of the ministers by donating blood, and it is well documented in the courtroom."

Zhu Houzhao put the memorial on the table, waved his hand and said, "I don't mean to blame you, why are you so nervous?"

Liu Jian felt uneasy in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "Your Majesty, you have only been on the throne for more than a month, and you have killed so many eunuchs. You are in the hall today, not for us to see, or what do you mean? I'm afraid you think these ancestors are all Are we greedy for ink?"

"I'll show you this memorial again."

Zhu Houzhao handed another memorial to them.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang opened the memorial uneasily. They were very afraid that there was something recording their family property in it.

They carefully opened the memorial, which did not record anything in their family property, which made them feel good.

Fanyang County, Zhang San, San Ding, one mu of paddy field, three stone per mu, tax one stone.

Fanyang County, Li Si, San Ding, three acres of land, four stones per mu, tax one stone.

Fanyang County, Wang Wu, San Ding, four acres of land, four stone per mu, tax three stone.

Fanyang County, Lu family, one thousand six hundred and fifty-three Ding, 8,000 mu of land, four stone per mu, tax three stone, with an annual output of 32,000 stone.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang glanced at each other, and on the memorial, the shocking figures can definitely be called the richest party.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang naturally knew the name of the Lu clan in Fanyang County. Since the Western Han Dynasty, the Lu clan has been an official here. There are basically people who have been officials in the court for generations. This is a famous local family. .....
