"With you by my side, what do I need to watch out for?" Lu Bing was amused: "Watch out for you?"
"Beware of the top one." Zhu Liu frowned, and said: "I received the news that there was the emperor's shadow behind the prison guard last time. It is said that he was a little dissatisfied."
"It doesn't matter if he is dissatisfied with the loyal minister." Lu Bing smiled and said, "I understand his temperament, he is nostalgic."
"But..." Zhu Liu thought for a while, and still said something rebellious: "There is no second day... I look at Daming, and there are no more powerful people like elder brother... Wang Zhi's business, only our brother and... him I know. Now he is letting go of giving the military a chance to deploy the Strict Party in the south. I am worried..."
"It's okay." Lu Bing suppressed his laughter, leaving only a smile and said: "I know these things in my heart, and I always have to give him some sense of security... We are brothers."
Lu Bing looked at the black leather cord exposed on Zhu Liu's neck. On the leather cord was half a piece of jade.
He also knew that there was a string of jade beads on Zhu Liu's wrist.
"As long as our brothers are together, we are the emperor... I am not afraid." Lu Bing said softly.
Zhu Liu was silent, but sighed in his heart.
People's hearts are the most unpredictable in this world. Same adversity and easy, same wealth...
Zhu Liu believed no one in this life, he only believed in himself and Lu Bing.
He will not leave a gap, giving people a chance to take advantage of it.
Even if he died, let Lu Bing be safe.
At this moment, Lu Bing frowned, and Sun Quan greeted him. He said a few words to the knight and walked over quickly and said, "My lord, something happened in the palace... ."
After hearing Sun Quan's words, Lu Bing frowned, and said furiously: "This group of bastards! It's getting more and more excessive! This time, he must be punished heavily!"
…
In April of Jiajing thirty-sixth year, a fire broke out in the three halls of Fengtian, Jinshen, and Huagai. The fire spread to Fengtian Gate, Zuo Shun Gate, and the left and right corridors outside Wumen.
When Lu Bing rushed to the palace, the fire was under control, and a large number of troops, eunuchs, and palace ladies were busy fighting the fire. When Lu Bing learned that Emperor Jiajing had moved to the Wenhua Palace, he hurried to greet him.
Seeing Lu Bing arrived, Emperor Jiajing smiled and said, "Wenfu is here?"
"The emperor is safe, right?" Lu Bing asked, arching his hands.
"Nothing." Emperor Jiajing rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Heavenly disaster test!"
"Natural disaster?" Lu Bing frowned, "How could it be a natural disaster?"
"The return said it was caused by thunder." Emperor Jiajing said with some worry.
"Thunder!" Lu Bing angrily said, "The emperor, where is the thunder in this sunny day?"
"I did hear thunder when I was meditating." Jiajing Emperor unexpectedly showed a little joy and said: "I also asked Tao Zhenren. He said that it may be that I communicate with heaven and earth more and more psychic, which caused a response. ."
"It's just..." Jiajing Emperor was slightly happy, and then worried again: "This caused a fire, what about the construction of silver?"
"The emperor!" It's really crazy! Lu Bing couldn't bear it, and said in a buzzing voice: "The news received by his subordinates was not because of the fire caused by thunder, but because the Taoist priests had gone through alchemy in the inner court! This caused the fire!"
"..." Emperor Jiajing heard that, without anger, but frowned, looking at Lu Bing with some doubts: "Why do you know things in our palace better than me?"
When Lu Bing heard it, his heart was shaken. This is a word of death!
An intriguing look flashed in the eyes of Emperor Jiajing. Seeing that Lu Bing was speechless, he continued: "This is the end of the matter, and the first thought is to fix it."
"Emperor!" Lu Bing clasped his fist and said, "This matter is not trivial! Now these priests are becoming more and more unscrupulous. If this continues, I am afraid that the palace will be disordered!"
"You have your Master Lu in control of this big house. What counts a few Taoist priests?" Emperor Jiajing was impatient and flung his sleeves away, leaving Lu Bing alone on the spot.
Lu Bing looked at the direction of Emperor Jiajing's departure, thinking for a long time...
The emperor has become wary of him, and Lu Bing has also noticed that if it had been before, Lu Bing would have hidden deep into the abyss to avoid suspicion... However, the current Jiajing emperor is no longer the Jiajing emperor ten years ago. The emperor has regard to Daming. Control is getting weaker and weaker. If you don’t care about it, I’m afraid...
Lu Bing gritted his teeth. In any case, what should be done is still to be done. As long as it is for the emperor, for the sake of the country, what is it to be misunderstood? Big deal, after sweeping these monsters, I invite myself to serve you!
Thinking of this, Lu Bing decided to do what he wanted to do as soon as possible, within three years! Sweep away the filth inside of Daming, and then retreat from his accomplishments. I believe that at that time, the emperor will surely let the emperor see his loyal heart of Qingming!
Now that he has made up his mind, Lu Bing is no longer soft, and cutting the mess with a sharp knife is precisely the way Lu Bing was best at doing things in his early years!
Jiajing was known as the "Sheng Ming" dynasty and had the most construction, but the fire in the palace was the most severe in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Jiajing advocated religion and built Taoist temples such as Da Gao Xuan Dian and Lei Tan in the palace, but the Emperor Xuantian and Thunder God he enshrined did not help him. The fire burned the main part of the foreign dynasty. Empty.
The loss of the fire was unprecedented. It only used 30,000 military workers to clean the scorched earth. They entered and left every day, and requisitioned 5,000 private vehicles as vehicles.
In the year of the fire, Emperor Jiajing decided to rebuild the Meridian Gate first. The first thing was to raise funds.
The final decree: "The three ministries of households, soldiers, and engineering departments will be allocated 300,000 taels of silver each to prepare for the development. The four members of the royal history will be sent to investigate and resolve the arrears of the Ministry of Industry and materials; Rescue and disbursement shall be based on the fines for taking the stolen goods and the lack of official firewood; the two Beijing materials and road officials shall check the prisons, bureaus, warehouses, and factories, and collect and store the annual materials used by the provinces."
It seems that in addition to asking for money from the ministries, the governors of the provinces and the inspectors urged the arrears of materials and money, and even the salaries of the vacant officials.
In addition, the imperial court also recruited a large number of military and migrant workers to stop work everywhere. According to the official example of the Qianqing Palace built in the previous years, the court used the free sergeants of various battalions, squads, and Jinyiwei to work in shifts. If it is not enough, then Beizhili and the nearby counties and counties in Henan, the size of the county will be measured, and the military will be dispatched, and the Zongguan will be escorted to the service...
This order caused great turmoil in the Ming Dynasty. The originally chaotic world became more shaky, and the trend of Zhongxing initiated by Emperor Jiajing in the early years of the Emperor Jiajing's early years fell sharply.
The frequent construction during the Jiajing period was one of the cruelest nuisance projects. As a result of repeated searches of people’s property, increased taxes, and collection of migrant workers and craftsmen, “household escapes” occurred in various places.
The search after the Sandian fire was even more severe. Some officials said: "... Today, the next year's offering is not for one year old. In addition, there are frequent floods and droughts, and the material resources are crippled..."
