Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 104 The Emperor Asked Ji Xing'an Marquis Xu Heng to Discuss the King Boldly

A long table had been set up in the Xuanzhong, Zhu Qiyu took the main seat first, and on the left, the Marquis of Xing'an, Mrs. Xing'an, and Concubine Xuanyi sat in turn.

On the right, Xu Xian, Mrs. Xu Xian, and Lin Xiangyu are sitting in sequence.Qianxue and Suxi took the prince and princess and sat opposite Zhu Qiyu.

Xu Heng's family gave way many times before taking their seats.

So far, Xu Heng also affirmed his guess before coming to the banquet: today's banquet will change the fate of his family.

Depending on the reception specifications, the emperor and his family personally opened the front door to welcome them; after they were seated, they were accompanied by an empress dowager, three concubines, the crown prince and the princess.

Xu Heng was very sure: Even if the prince came, he shouldn't be received like this.This is obviously the emperor condescending and trying his best to win him over.And this should be the limit of the emperor's respect for the corporals. If I go up, the emperor should kneel down.

After the two sides chatted for a while and went home, Zhao Yun, Mu Yu and others brought the food and wine.Seeing this, Xu Heng hurriedly led his family to stand up.

Now everyone knows that the emperor does not have maids around, as long as she is a beautiful woman, she is at least a side concubine.How could Xu Heng's family dare to sit there carelessly, letting the emperor's woman serve them with peace of mind.

Zhu Qiyu quickly dissuaded everyone: "You are welcome, Marquis Xing'an, today is a family banquet, don't be restrained, everyone can sit down, sit down quickly."

Xu Heng's family pleaded guilty, and Fang sat down again.From the moment Xu Heng saw the emperor's family outside the gate to the official banquet, he has been observing secretly, and has a preliminary evaluation of everyone:

The emperor wore a solid light blue cotton gown with a jade belt around his waist, quite simple and simple.It can be seen that the rumors in the market are not bad, the emperor just likes simple and elegant things, and hates complicated and trivial things.

Concubine Xuanyi is also dressed in a plain robe, with no other decorations except for a jade hairpin on her head. Obviously, as rumored, she likes Taoism and devotes herself to pure cultivation.

Looking at the emperor's favorite concubines, no one is wearing princess clothes, and no one has a phoenix pattern on their clothes, which can be described as low-key to the extreme.

Concubine Zheng was wearing a light red skirt and a plain white jacket with pink peach blossoms embroidered on it, and her waist was tied with a jade belt, making her look taller, smarter, more elegant.The other concubines are Yishui's white coats and pink skirts, all delicate and cute.

The emperor's family talked and laughed casually and behaved intimately, obviously a warm and harmonious family.

At that time, fortune-telling and physiognomy were very popular in Daming, and Xu Heng also dabbled in it. After looking at the emperor's family carefully, he couldn't help nodding secretly: a good wife prospered for three generations, and a stupid wife ruined the whole family.The emperor was thoughtful and clever, at least the harem was safe.

The emperor's family was extremely enthusiastic, and they only talked about family matters during the dinner. The concubine and several concubines made witty remarks, making the atmosphere very warm.

After removing the food, Qianxue and Suxi took the prince and princess back to rest, and the other concubines also retreated.

The remaining seven people talked about the topic while drinking tea.

Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile: "I heard that the Marquis of Xing'an once discussed the generals of the world with Zhang Yushi. Now that the country is in crisis, can I ask the Marquis of Xing'an to discuss for me again, who can be the commander?"

Seeing that the topic was coming, Xu Heng quickly responded with [-] points of energy: "The last general was just joking at that time, I don't want your Majesty to hear about it.

In terms of handsome talents, the Ming Dynasty recently commanded more than [-] troops, but there were only four of them: Duke Zhang Fu of England, Uncle Jingyuan Wang Ji, Marquis Chen Mao of Ningyang, and Marquis Jiang Gui of Dingxi.

This year has been eventful, Dingxihou died of illness, and the British Duke died in battle.

Now only Uncle Jingyuan and Marquis Ningyang are left.And when these two men commanded [-] troops, they fought in the south.The combat power of the southern barbarians is still far inferior to that of the northern captives.

So now no one has ever had the experience of commanding [-] troops and fighting against the northern captives. "

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu sighed heavily: "Now that the north is like this, how to deal with Oala, I ask Marquis Xing'an to enlighten me."

Xu Heng replied: "Your Majesty really wants to hear what's on your mind?"

"Naturally, please speak freely, Marquis Xing'an."

"Then please forgive me, Your Majesty, and the latter will be innocent."

"Okay, there are no outsiders here, just say what Marquis Xing'an says."

Xu Heng got the promise, and just replied: "Wala's success today is caused by the wrong strategy of the three generations of Renmiao, Xuanmiao, and Taishanghuang."

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he suddenly regained his spirits. This was the first time that someone directly attributed the fault to the emperor.

Xu Heng continued: "Three Yangs are all treacherous ministers, but behind their absurd behaviors are actually the connivance of the late emperor.

There is an essential difference between benevolent rule and the rule of Wen Jing: Emperor Xiaowen was extremely eager to expand the territory, but limited by the national power of the Han Dynasty at that time, he could only do the things of one generation.That's why Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaojing continued to recuperate and work hard, and finally handed over an extremely powerful empire to Emperor Xiaowu.

But the first emperor was different. The first emperor was not interested in opening up territories from the bottom of his heart.The so-called recuperation is based on sacrificing the long-term layout of the country.

For example, in front of you, the first emperor cooperated with Sanyang, abandoned Dongshengwei and Kaipingwei, and paid neither attention to the defense of the Great Wall nor the rectification of military equipment.As a result, armaments were abandoned, and the Great Wall defense line was useless.

Moreover, the first emperor adopted a negative attitude of indifference and indifference to the Mongolian Yuan, and did not divide and balance the interior of the Mongolian Yuan.After all kinds of short-sighted operations, there was finally the current failure of civil engineering. "

Zhu Qiyu was stunned when he heard the words, many civil servants and military generals in the court also understood these things, but Marquis Xing'an was the first one who could say it so bluntly.

This is also a big gamble for Xu Heng: anyway, what he said is not a crime to death. If the emperor is really ambitious and can accept his point of view, then he can assist the emperor to build achievements.If the emperor doesn't listen, then he can only go home and take care of his grandson.

Xu Heng's current behavior is a typical broken jar: Anyway, Renzong is like this, Xuanzong is like this, and the Supreme Emperor is like this. If the new king is still like this, then he will completely give up. good.

Zhu Qiyu replied: "I want to injure Wala hard, kill it first, and completely split Mongolia into several parts. Then clean the Shanxi frontier generals and rebuild the Great Wall defense line.

It's just a pity, now I can't even control the army in the capital.And I don't have time, I'm just acting on behalf of the emperor, and when the Supreme Emperor is welcomed back, I have to return the throne to the Supreme Emperor. "

Xu Heng heard the words, and quickly replied: "How can you let the divine weapon come and go. Now that your majesty has accepted the throne, can you let it go again?"

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands together: "The ministers disagree, the nobles refuse to accept, the princes glared at me, and the military power is not in my hands. If I don't return the throne, will my family still survive?"
