At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 47 Yu Qian is annoying
Empress Dowager Sun raised her brows and asked, "Yu Qian, don't be a fool. What's going on?"

Yu Qian replied: "I have already reported the situation in the capital as it is. According to the time, this memorial should have been sent to the front line!"

Empress Dowager Sun didn't understand even more, she frowned and said: "But, the emperor is not at the front line!"

Yu Qian shook his head and said: "The emperor is not here, the British Duke is still there, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the imperial court are still there!"

Hearing this, Queen Mother Sun suddenly understood.

"You mean... let the British prince come back to preside over the overall situation?"

"That's right!" Yu Qian said solemnly, "These days, the emperor has led all the soldiers to fight bloody battles, and the emperor and his ministers have long been united. If the British Duke learns that someone in the capital intends to change the new emperor, he will immediately return to the court and preside over the overall situation. At that time, These rumors and rumors will be self-defeating."

Empress Dowager Sun nodded secretly, but Yu Qian was still thinking thoughtfully. Although the emperor disappeared, he had already established enough prestige in the army. If the soldiers heard that someone intends to change the new emperor, they should come here with a knife and fight for their lives!

If the army returns to the court, it will be more secure to register the crown prince.

Once the position of the crown prince is settled, those who supported the King of Yi should stop.

"Since that's the case, the Ai family is in charge of the emperor, led by the Ministry of War, and coordinated by the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian, ready to welcome my triumphant division of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Your servant Yu Qian respectfully obeys Yi's order!"

Back at the Yamen of the Ministry of War, before the buttocks were warmed up, another civil servant came to the door: "Master Yu, Bachelor Cao is here to invite you!"

The scholar Cao referred to by this civil official is Cao Nai, the chief assistant of the cabinet. This person originally followed Kuang Ye to retreat to Juyongguan. Later, Kuang Ye was worried about the front line and insisted on staying. Cao Nai, Wang Zuo and others led a group of civil servants and wounded people first. back to Beijing.

Yu Qian sighed, needless to say, it must be about King Yi's supervision of the country again.

Originally, these things had nothing to do with me, but in the imperial edict, I appointed myself as Minister of the Ministry of War and added a title of Governor of the Left. No matter what happens, find yourself first.

In fact, he didn't understand why the emperor made such a decision.

When the emperor wanted to conquer in person, he himself was the one who opposed it the loudest. He even reprimanded the emperor for not knowing military affairs in front of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and wasted money and money by himself, hurting the foundation of the country.

He still vividly remembers the situation at that time, the emperor was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he insisted on beheading himself to vent his anger. It was Empress Dowager Sun who said some good things for the sake of the late emperor, so the matter was left alone.

However, judging from the imperial edict brought back by Zhang Yi, the emperor is still the ignorant kid he knew. Even if the late emperor is alive, under the predicament of the civil castle, the decisions he can make are just that, right?
Now that the prince is young and the country depends on the elder, the imperial edict clearly states that if the emperor encounters an accident, the king will succeed him.

This avoids the scene of uncles and nephews fighting each other, and allows everyone to unite and speak out.

You must know that the Zhu family's uncles and nephews fought in battles. There is a historical inheritance. The emperor can see this layer, which shows that he really puts the state affairs first and completely let go of his private thoughts.

As for letting him lead the Beijing camp, this is even more unbelievable.

If the troops on the front line are defeated, they must first send their troops south to take the capital directly. Among the ministers, there are many people who are greedy for life and fear of death. At that time, someone will definitely propose to move south. This edict of the emperor is equivalent to blocking the way to move south in advance. , I was ordered to guard the capital by myself, which is justified.

Strange, how did the emperor know that he would definitely not propose to move south?

Seeing that imperial edict, it was as if...the emperor can predict...

Full of doubts, Yu Qian came to Wenyuan Pavilion, where the five great scholars had been waiting for a long time.

The first assistant is Cao Nai, followed by Chen Xun, Miao Zhong, Gao Zhu, and Zhang Yi.

The cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty was established by Emperor Yongle, and it has only been more than 20 years since then. Its role is roughly equivalent to that of the emperor's secretariat, with very limited powers and responsibilities, and it is far from the cabinet that later generations are familiar with.

Cao Nai raised his head and saw Yu Qian, and hurriedly greeted him: "Master Yu, you are here, sit down!"

Yu Qian bowed his hands and saluted to everyone, and then sat in the lower seat.

"Everyone is so eager to find Yu, what's the matter?"

Cao Nai took the lead and said: "The matter is urgent, so I won't be polite to you. Now that the emperor has not returned from the Northern Expedition, what are your plans?"

Yu Qian looked strange, and said: "As a minister, we should fulfill our duties and do our duty well."

"Yu Qian, don't be confused with me!" Cao Nai simply said clearly, "There are rumors that you took the lead in supporting the establishment of the king of Yi to supervise the country. Is there such a thing?"

"Absolutely not!" Yu Qian shook his head like a rattle, and said again and again, "Rumors are pure rumors!"

"Really do not have?"

Yu Qian was directly angry, stood up and said, "Scholar Cao, when did I tell someone a lie?"

"Sit down, sit down!" Cao Nai waved his hand, "We old fellows are just looking for you to check the situation, why are you so excited?"

Yu Qian was also short-tempered. He was so angry that his beard stood up. He said, "I have behaved rightly to someone, and now I am being slandered for no reason. How can I not be excited?"

"That's good!" Cao Nai nodded and said, "Even if you weren't the leader, but the rumors have already leaked out, you can tell me, do you support the king's supervision of the country under the current situation?"

Yu Qian sat back again and said, "It's not my turn to worry about this kind of thing!"

"What you said is wrong!" Cao Nai shook his head and said, "You are the Minister of the Ministry of War, and moreover, you are also a candidate for the Minister of Military Affairs handpicked by the emperor. If you don't worry, who should worry about it?"

"That's good!" Yu Qian had no choice but to say, "The emperor's edict did say that in case of any accident, the king will be allowed to succeed. However, the emperor has not encountered any accident now, but has just lost contact temporarily. I think that after getting Before the news is confirmed, this edict is a piece of waste paper and should not take effect!"

Cao Nai and the other senior scholars looked at each other and nodded.

"Also!" Yu Qian continued, "Whoever proposed to support the king at this time, his heart can be punished, and he must be strictly investigated!"

At this time, Zhang Yi said: "I drafted this edict. At that time, the army was trapped in a civil fort. The emperor decided to fight to the death. For the stability of the country, he left the edict in advance. If someone has evil intentions and wants to do something on it Article, I am the first to disagree!"

Cao Nai nodded and said, "In this case, we have agreed that before we get the exact news from the emperor, everyone must unite as one. Yu Qian, there will definitely be many people looking for you during this time, so you have to be prepared!"
