Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 106 Oala sent an envoy to the next battle, and the Beijing Army added a Xiaoqi Battalion

Silent all night.

……

With great difficulty, Zhu Qiyu let go of the four well-behaved and lovely little beauties, and happily came to the West Flower Hall.

The important ministers had been waiting for a long time, Zhu Qiyu called everyone in, and first announced a surprising thing:

"Tomorrow morning, a small court meeting will be held in the West Flower Hall. Cabinet ministers, six ministers, five military commanders, some honorable men in Beijing, military generals, and eunuchs will participate. I have a list of attendees for the court meeting. The Ministry of Rites will notify you accordingly. .

At the meeting tomorrow, I will assign the specific defense tasks of the Nine Gates of the capital.This was the last adjustment before the war. Since then, civil and military officials have performed their duties, and they have been rewarded for their meritorious service and punished for their deeds. "

This is the first court meeting held after the new king ascended the throne.Although the scale is still a bit small, only three NO.40 people are eligible to participate, but at any rate, there is finally a morning meeting.So several important ministers shouted the emperor Shengming together.

Zhu Qiyu continued: "I would like to inform you in advance that I will add another battalion to the Beijing camp, called the Xiaoqi Camp, based on the [-] frontier troops brought by Marquis Xing'an.

Since then, the Beijing Camp has been composed of the Five Army Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, and the Xiaoqi Battalion, and the four battalions stand side by side. "

The minister was even more surprised when he heard the words: change the three battalions into the fourth battalion?What is the emperor's intention?Is the emperor so confident that he can control Xing'anhou?If the marquis of Xing'an can't be loyal, what's the use of just building a battalion of Xiaoqi, even if there are a hundred new battalions, without the loyalty of the general, it is purely self-inflicted humiliation.

Seeing that none of the ministers came forward to object, Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I'm done talking, you go about it."

Hu Wei played first: "Your Majesty, I also sent an envoy Naha to come out of Beijing to blame me for the poor rewards of the Ming Dynasty. If he threatened not to give a generous reward, the grand master will lead an army of [-] in the near future to take his great Yuan." old capital."

Zhu Qiyu replied indifferently: "Let Naha come out, I will treat him personally at noon."

The ministers played some trivial matters again, and then they all retired and went back to prepare for the court meeting.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qiyu ordered Xuan Yuma Supervisor to seal Liu Yongcheng, and his nephew Liu Ju to meet with him.

Liu Yongcheng has gone through the five dynasties and has been in charge of the imperial eunuch for many years. He is the only eunuch who can be as famous as Zheng He in the early Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Liu Yongcheng is loyal and good at riding and shooting. He has led troops to expeditions many times and has made many military exploits.If it was a general, these military exploits would have been enough to make him a Marquis, but unfortunately Liu Yongcheng is a eunuch.

Zhu Qiyu gave Liu Yongcheng enough respect: "Liu Gong, I want to divide the capital into four sides, east, south, west and north, and assign important ministers to each side.

Mr. Liu has made many military exploits and his reputation spread far and wide. I will send you to be in charge of the battles at Xizhimen and Fuchengmen in the west of the capital. Will Mr. Liu be willing? "

How can you say that you don't want to, Liu Yongcheng immediately stated that he will defend the capital to the death.

Zhu Qiyu continued: "Grand Liu, with your talents, you are always wronged by staying in the Imperial Horse Supervisor. After this battle, I will make you an earl and send you to guard the frontier. After a few years when the frontier is stable, I will give you an earl." You make the hereditary Marquis, and you designate your nephew to inherit it, what is Liu Gong's opinion?"

Liu Yongcheng entered the inner court as an eunuch at the age of 12, and it has been more than 40 years now.In a place like the imperial palace where people cannibalize, not only did Liu Yongcheng not be eaten, he also achieved a high position in the palm of the imperial horse supervisor. He can be said to be an old fox among old foxes.

Liu Yongcheng naturally understood the meaning of the emperor's words: he surrendered himself to the Imperial Horse Supervisor with dignity, and cooperated with the emperor's cronies to take over.The emperor gave the hereditary marquis in return, and the two sides were peaceful and decent, and everyone was happy with the best of both worlds.

Liu Yongcheng thought for a while, then asked with a look of embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the old minister is a eunuch, how can he obtain a hereditary marquis? There is no such precedent in the imperial court. Even the Sanbao eunuch has never been awarded the title."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Mr. Liu just agrees or disagrees. As for how I will do it, it is not something you need to worry about. As long as you are willing to go out to lead the army, I promise that within five years, I will give Mr. Liu the title of Marquis."

When the emperor said this, Liu Yongcheng was speechless.After all, the emperor even gave a specific deadline, so there is no room for ambiguity.You have no jokes, you must be granted the title of Marquis at that time, otherwise you will be playing with your courtiers openly.

Without any hesitation, Liu Yongcheng agreed immediately.After all, that was a hereditary Marquis, compared to the seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, it was really nothing.Besides, even if I don't agree, the result can only be that the emperor forcibly takes the imperial horse prison.At that time, let alone the Marquis, whether he can save his life is a big problem.

The two sides reached an agreement, and discussed the specific strategy for defending the capital, and Liu Yongcheng resigned.

The next step is to summon Hao Yi, the admiral of the Yuma Supervisor, who is the current second in command of the Yuma Supervisor and the person Xinjun uses to replace Liu Yongcheng.After chatting with Hao Yilue for a few words, Zhu Qiyu took him to Jiang Yunxuan in the backyard for a private chat.

Different from the seriousness facing Liu Yongcheng, Zhu Qiyu was very comfortable and casual in front of Hao Yi.

Hao Yi also asked with a smile: "Young master is well-planned now, presumably he has arranged everything?"

"Oh, let's force it. The Marquis of Xing'an has agreed to be loyal to me, and Liu Yongcheng is also willing to hand over the Imperial Horse Supervisor. When the time comes, please ask Mr. Hao to take charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor for me, and the imperial city guard will be stable.

Coupled with my [-] personal guards, and my honor as an emperor, I can barely control the capital now.

The next step is to do it piecemeal. Later, I will hook up with Tian Cewei to see if they are willing to pledge their allegiance.Anyway, I'm just looking around, I've been looking like a junkie lately. "

Hao Yi said with a smile: "Master is too modest, the fifteen favorite concubines you picked up are not rags, you have found big treasures."

Zhu Qiyu laughed loudly when he heard the words: "It's all luck. Have you seen the princesses?"

"I ran into it once in the palace a few days ago. The three concubines of our family are so beautiful. I don't know where to see the concubines who are better than the emperor. They are beautiful, gentle and reasonable. It is really good for me to bring them out. long face."

"Hahahaha, I'm lucky."

The two chatted for a while, and Zhu Qiyu took out a secret edict from his pocket and handed it to Hao Yi: "Hao Gong, I want to personally lead the army to make meritorious deeds outside Desheng Gate. My left wing, that is, stationed outside Xizhimen.

Shi Heng is not my confidant, I am afraid that he will act as a demon while I am fighting the enemy.I don't want to be like the Supreme Emperor, and be framed by friendly troops if I am not careful.

So I asked Mr. Hao to take [-] elite horse inspectors and four guards to Shiheng camp to supervise the army.This is the secret edict I wrote. If there is any change in Shi Heng, you can kill him directly and then take over his army. "

Hao Yi hastily and solemnly accepted the secret edict.

Zhu Qiyu continued: "My right wing is Tao Jin's [-] Shenji Battalion outside the Anding Gate. I will send Wang Cheng, Zhang Yong, and [-] personal guards to supervise the army.

In this way, the left and right wings are firmly guarded, and I can safely kill the enemy outside the Desheng Gate.At that time, I will supervise the battle on the tower, and the Marquis of Xing'an will be in charge of the army in the north.

Fan Guang brought three thousand elites from the Shenji Battalion, plus five thousand frontier troops from Marquis Xing'an, and my eight thousand personal guards.A total of more than 1 people were responsible for killing the enemy.

Shi Heng's [-]-strong army is responsible for mobile support. If he is passive and desperate to see our army in danger, you can kill him directly and take over the army yourself. "

Hao Yi nodded: "I understand, this battle must let the young master show his momentum and build up his prestige. Only in this way can he firmly control the court in the future."

The two chatted until noon before they came out of the front yard together, and invited Naha, the envoy of Wala, to a banquet in the east side room.

Naha came out to fight this time, so he was quite arrogant.Of course, Wala's so-called "war letter" was not put into words.Naha Chu just told the Ming Emperor very simply and directly that you have given us too little reward, if you refuse to bleed, then our [-] Oala army will soon be approaching the city.

Zhu Qiyu watched Naha come out, made a very cowardly and guilty expression, and retorted weakly: "Your envoy's words are wrong, as soon as my emperor was captured, the empress dowager and empress took the harem and took the royal family away. The treasures in the collection were filled with eight large carts, and a mission was sent directly to Grand Master Ye Xian.

Those things are all priceless treasures, why does your envoy think that the treasures given by me, Daming, are not valuable enough?

Daming's defenses are lax now, and the morale of the army is lax. How can it withstand the ravages of the grand master's [-] cavalry, so please ask your envoy to return to the grand master. We can talk about what conditions there are. "

Naha smiled contemptuously and said, "It's easy to say, just give the money."

Zhu Qiyu asked again: "Then I have to ask the grand master to give a total amount. How much does the grand master plan to ask for before he is willing to let the Supreme Emperor back, and he must give an accurate number."

Naha was also stunned when he heard the words, because he didn't expect that Daming would really give the money before he came, but just to say something, if Daming didn't pay, it happened to be an excuse to attack the capital.

Now the emperor wants to ask for an accurate number, and Naha can tell what to say.If you really want to ask for a buyout price of 50 taels, what should you do if the Emperor Ming agrees? It would be embarrassing.

In the end, Nahachu could only say that if he wanted to go back and ask for the opinion of the grand master, he would then reply to the emperor.

　I was blocked for a chapter and cried.I can’t make it up today, and I will write three chapters tomorrow to make it up.
