Chapter 50

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu immediately frowned and asked, "Yu Qian, what do you mean?"

Yu Qian looked indifferent, and replied: "I think that when His Royal Highness King Xiang supervised the country twice, the late emperor didn't suspect it, and even gave him the name of a virtuous king. Therefore, I thought that as long as His Royal Highness is dedicated to the public, he will be the supervisor of the country at this time. When the emperor returns to the court, he should not have any grudges against His Highness."

Zhu Qiyu paced back and forth, and said: "There are six ministries and the cabinet for major affairs in the court, and there will be no troubles for the time being. If someone has to supervise the country, wouldn't you still have to meet my nephew?"

"The six ministries and the cabinet can guarantee the normal operation of the court in a short period of time, but what if the emperor doesn't return in a month or a year? The prince is young, and the country depends on the king. After all, someone needs to stand up."

Zhu Qiyu was silent. It is true that Zhu Jianshen is only two years old and still an ignorant child, but he is not.

However, regarding that position...he didn't dare to think about it, and he couldn't think about it!

Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu were not born to the same mother. The two brothers were only one year apart. They had a very close relationship when they were young. Due to the early death of Emperor Xuanzong, Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne at the age of eight, and a month later he canonized his younger brother Zhu Qiyu as the King of Yi. , Fengfan capital.

Since then, the relationship between the two has changed from brothers to monarchs and ministers. As they grew older, Zhu Qiyu had already reached the age of the feudal clan, but Zhu Qizhen was reluctant to let him go, and never gave him a clear fiefdom, so he stayed in the capital.

This time Zhu Qizhen's imperial conquest, although he did not designate the position of supervisor, everyone knew that there was still a king in the capital.

To everyone's surprise, what came back was an edict, and King Tan became the first heir of the Ming Emperor!
This is very intriguing, although the throne is inherited from brothers and sisters, but Zhu Qizhen has a son, so it is Zhu Qiyu's turn to get the younger brother.

This edict made Zhu Qiyu feel at a loss. He tried every means to find out what other people said, but he still couldn't figure out what Zhu Qizhen was thinking.

"Yu Qian, let me ask you one last time, you really don't know about the imperial edict?"

"I really don't know, and the officer is also very puzzled!"

"Those people just now really have nothing to do with you?"

"I swear, I have absolutely nothing to do with you!"

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a while, then said: "Do you know why this king wants to host a banquet for these people?"

"This one……"

Yu Qian was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that King Tan coveted the throne, so he secretly wooed these people, but what he said meant that they, like himself, were deceived by the emperor's edict and couldn't help themselves.

"Since the news that the emperor's brother went deep into the desert came, there have been rumors in the capital. Some said that the emperor's brother had been killed, and some said that the emperor's brother was captured by Oala first. In short, rumors and rumors are flying everywhere. Do you know about this matter? "

"The lower officials know a thing or two, but they are all rumors and cannot be trusted."

"You think this way, but it doesn't mean that the officials and the people think the same way. If you let these rumors continue to spread, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Yu Qian thought for a while, and said: "Your Highness is right, it's because the officials didn't think carefully!"

"As for these people...huh!" Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly, and said, "I can see clearly what they have done. If I refuse this time, they will look for other opportunities in the future. It's better to just use the trick. Look at these people's fox tails!"

After hearing this, Yu Qian couldn't help but shook his head and said: "It turns out that His Highness has such deep meaning, but the situation of the lower officials is small!"

"Okay!" Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said, "Since your name is specifically named in the imperial edict, it means that the emperor attaches great importance to you. Now that the position is empty and the country is unstable, the imperial court depends on you ministers!"

Yu Qian saluted and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, the next official will do his best and die!"

The two talked until late at night before Yu Qian took his leave and left.

Zhu Qiyu sat alone in the study, and childhood scenes flashed before his eyes. Although Zhu Qizhen was only one year older than himself, he knew that as an elder brother, he had to give way and protect himself everywhere.

As they grow older, the relationship between the two has become more and more delicate. Zhu Qiyu knew that he could not stay in the capital forever, and it was time to go out and become a feudal lord.

However, at this moment, the Wala army went south, and Zhu Qizhen's imperial conquest was personally made, and then, he received this edict.

It was written clearly that the successor was himself, not the prince.

Looking at the bright moon outside the window, Zhu Qiyu murmured: "When will you come back..."

On the first day of September in the orthodox 14th year, Fengtian Temple.

The courts of the Ming Dynasty are divided into the Great Dynasty and the Chang Dynasty.The Great Dynasty is generally held on New Year's Day, Winter Solstice and the emperor's birthday, and it is a ceremonial court meeting.

Changchao is further divided into Shuowangchao and Richao. Shuowangchao, as the name suggests, is held on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

The scale of the Shuowang Dynasty is second only to the Dachaohui, and officials of high rank in the capital must be present.

Since the emperor did not return from the expedition, the Empress Dowager Sun presided over the court meeting on his behalf.

At the beginning of the court meeting, the eunuch Jin Ying stood up with an imperial decree and read: "The imperial edict said: Since ancient times, emperors have inherited the heavens and set up the poles, and Fu Yu Nei, and must establish the Yuan Chu and Maolong state foundations, so that the Mianzong Society will be boundless. Zhu Jianshen, the eldest son of the emperor, is the first heir of the clan, and belongs to the will of heaven. I hereby abide by the first imperial edict, carry out the ceremony, and obey the public opinion. Ten thousand years of rule, with the heart of the world. Appreciate this!"

The ministers began to whisper, and made Zhu Jianshen the prince, expressing the Queen Mother's position.

However, it was rumored that King Tan was about to succeed to the throne. Judging by the situation, it would inevitably be another bloodbath.

After Jin Ying finished reading, he cleared his throat and said: "My lords, since the emperor has not returned to Beijing, today's court meeting will come here first, and we will leave..."

"Report to the Empress Dowager, I have something to do!"

I saw Xu Yu standing up suddenly, bowing his head and saying: "A country cannot be without a king for a day. The emperor has not returned yet, and the ministers have no master. I implore His Royal Highness King Yi to take over the throne and preside over the overall situation!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

After Xu Yu finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and seconded, namely Shi Heng, Shi Biao's uncle and nephew, Ma Shun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Cao Qin, the commander of the Jinyiwei. After these people, more than a dozen people stood up one after another.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Sun said with a somber face, "When the emperor's royal conquest came, why didn't your family mention the matter of supervising the country?"

As soon as the words fell, Cao Nai, the chief assistant of the cabinet, stood up and said: "What the queen mother said is very true. Before we get the exact news from the emperor, we should fulfill our duties and do our duty well!"

"Master Cao's words are wrong!"

Although Xu Zhen has a small official position, if there is a war of words, he is also a Jinshi, and he thinks he is no worse than the chief assistant of the cabinet.

"The emperor sent someone to send back the edict from the front line. It clearly states that if the emperor dies for the country, His Royal Highness King Yi will succeed him. Captain Jing, Xueshi Zhang, the edict was sent back by you two. You say, Yes or no?"

 Friendly reminder, the countdown to the return of God of War: 0 days!
