Chapter 152 Ren Li
Zhu Qiyu knew that Ren Li was one of the few relatives of the generation. He had followed Taizong in Jingnan in his early years, but he was not knighted.

Until the third year of Zhengtong, Tatar Adai Khan repeatedly harassed the border. Ren Li followed Pingxihou Jiang Gui and led the army to attack thousands of miles.

In this battle, not only captured Tatar Prime Minister Zuo, privy envoys, Tongzhi and other dozens of Mongolian nobles alive, wiped out tens of thousands of enemies, but also drove straight to the bank of the Heihe River.

It can be regarded as the most brilliant victory of Ming Dynasty in the battle with Mongolia after Emperor Taizong.

Ren Li himself, because of this battle, was granted the title of Uncle Ningyuan by the imperial court and ordered to guard Suzhou.

During his tenure, Ren Li also won more than ten victories, large and small.

It's a pity that in February of this year, Yexian harassed the border again. Ren Li was accidentally ambushed by Yexian.

For this reason, Ren Li was condemned by the court, and only retained his status as earl, and ordered him to return home for self-examination until now.

Mentioning this person, Zhu Qiyu remembered another thing.

That is about Ren Li's big defeat. He also learned by accident in his previous life that the battle was not simple.

It involves the struggle between the old relatives of Jing Nan and the new relatives like Ren Li.

At that time, some courtiers in the court suggested that Ren Li be promoted to be the real-time governor of the Chinese military governor's mansion, and the admiral of the Beijing camp.

This aroused the dissatisfaction of Jing Nan's relatives, so he secretly tripped him.

In fact, there was no mistake in Ren Li's decision-making at the beginning. The reason why he was defeated was the general he sent to lead the army.

The partial general stepped into the same ambush circle twice, which caused such a heavy loss.

After this battle, Ren Li was stripped of his title and only retained his title, and he was no longer eligible to compete for the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Daming's relatives to be suppressed by civil servants to hold their heads up.

Many relatives of Jingnan Xun have been passed down to the present, and they can't fight by themselves, because they are afraid that people will live in the future and take away the power in their hands.

It's good that the relatives are intertwined, but the fight between them is no less than that of the civil servants.

However, Chen Mao's recommendation of Ren Li now can only show that Xun Qi was really hit hard.

Or, the last time the civil servants unanimously launched an offensive against him, the old marquis finally became vigilant.

Xunqi's current power is too weak, more people must stand up and carry the banner of confrontation with civil servants.

Even if it is because of this, the conflict between the old and new relatives is put aside, and it is not hesitating.

In the end, Yu Qian still didn't stop Zhu Qiyu.

In fact, from the very beginning, Zhu Qiyu didn't want to have a decisive battle in the capital.

Of course he knew that the more powerful Yexian's momentum was, and the more losses he caused to Daming, the better it would be for Zhu Qiyu himself.

After all, the source of all this was because of the civil engineering defeat.

The more violent the disturbance, the deeper the courtier's resentment towards his elder brother would be, and the more it would help stabilize his position.

However, he still can't do that!
Because he is not only Zhu Qiyu, but also the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

As the lord of a country, if you only consider whether it is beneficial to yourself in everything, but can't take the country and the country in your heart, you will be a burden to your ancestors.

Just like in the previous life, it's not that Zhu Qiyu can't kill Zhu Qizhen, but if he kills him, there will be rumors among the people, the courtiers will guess inexplicably, and there will be turmoil in various places because of this.

Perhaps in the end, there may not necessarily be any particularly serious consequences for him.

However, it will take several years, or even decades, to reorganize the government, stabilize people's hearts, and reshape the turmoil brought to the country by killing this person.

After the incident of seizing the door, his elder brother hunted and killed the courtiers wantonly, and Jin Yiwei made a commotion in the entire court.

After the ceremony, Jiajing Qiangang was arbitrary, but the courtiers did not dare to say anything about the affairs of the court. The dignified head and assistant actually came to power with green words, and the country's officials were corrupted and flattered.

Examples of this abound.

The king lives comfortably, but it causes the country to be in turmoil. This is not what a king with a community in mind should do.

Restraint and forbearance are compulsory courses for an emperor.

Just like now, he has to think about keeping him out of the Bauhinia Pass first, maybe objectively, it will alleviate his brother's crimes.

But more, it can save the people of Gyeonggi from the suffering of the war, and can prevent the confidence of the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty from being completely destroyed.

If they were beaten to the gate of the capital, not only the frontier generals, but even the people at the bottom and the officers and soldiers would hardly have the confidence to resist Mongolia from then on.

After going down to court, Zhu Qiyu sat alone in the Hall of Martial Arts, and suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly.

After all, he was still influenced by Yu Qian.

People like Yu Qian have too much charisma. Others talk about the country and society, but he really takes it to heart.

People who have been with him for a long time will habitually put the righteousness of the country before personal life and death.

This is not good!

He didn't want to completely turn into someone like Yu Qian who would kill himself if he lived a new life.

Tilting his head, Zhu Qiyu asked Jin Ying.

"Jin Ying, tell me, isn't my decision a bit risky this morning?"

Jin Ying pondered for a moment, then answered with cupped hands.

"The minister understands that His Majesty is thinking of the Ming Dynasty and the Supreme Emperor, so he doesn't want to let him go to the gate of the capital first, shame the ancestors, and don't want the people of the capital to be affected by the flames of war."

"I believe that the elders of the Outer Dynasty also understood this point, so they did not follow Yu Shangshu's advice."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, glanced at Jin Ying, and said meaningfully.

"If you understand, I'm relieved."

After a short pause, Zhu Qiyu rubbed his forehead, closed his eyes, and asked casually.

"I heard that the Empress Dowager Shangsheng took the prince to the Compassionate Ning Palace to take care of her these days?"

With some caution in mind, Jin Ying replied cautiously.

"Go back to the emperor, yes."

"The audacious bastard Li Yongchang made a big fuss in the Changchun Palace before, which shocked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"The empress dowager of the Shangsheng was worried about the health of the little highness, and she was afraid that the imperial concubine could not take good care of her, so she took the little highness from the Changchun Palace to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and took good care of her."

Zhu Qiyu didn't speak, but just glanced at Jin Ying, which immediately made him break into a cold sweat.

What Jin Ying said was of course an obvious reason.

As for the real reason, it was naturally that after Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, he launched a cleansing of the inner court, which aroused the vigilance of Queen Mother Sun.

Afraid that he would do something secretly to this little baby, so he took it to his palace and took care of it day and night.

After all, with the status of Empress Dowager Sun, it is not a problem to keep the people in her palace.

Of course Zhu Qiyu knew this, he just found it very interesting.

According to the information given to him by Xing'an, the maid who is currently taking care of this little baby is named Wan Zhen'er, who entered the palace at the age of four and has been serving in the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

If he remembered correctly, this little girl, who is not yet nineteen this year, is the lifelong Concubine Wan Gui who has made the current Crown Prince infatuated.

Just right, the same age as this little baby's mother, Concubine Zhou.

In the previous life, it was not until the second year of Jingtai that she was transferred from the Compassionate Ning Palace to the East Palace to take care of Zhu Jianshen's daily life.

Soon thereafter, Zhu Qiyu abolished Zhu Jianshen's position as the crown prince, and it was from then on that Wan Zhen'er accompanied Zhu Jianshen all the way through the ups and downs.

Unexpectedly, in this life, by accident, the two of them met in advance, but I don't know if his nephew will still be the original infatuated seed...

Withdrawing the extended thoughts, Zhu Qiyu said lightly.

"It's all right for the empress dowager to be worried for a while, but the prince is a prince after all, and the emperor's brother is not here now. If the prince and his mother can't see him often, I'm afraid it's not good for him. After a while, when the prince is better, I'd better send him off." It's better to go back to Changchun Palace."

These words seemed to be small talk, but Jin Ying secretly raised [-] points of caution, said.

"The emperor is worried about the crown prince, and the empress dowager must also be happy. The ministers must pass this on to the empress."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, but did not speak again.

There are some things that don't need to be said too thoroughly, just point to the end...
