Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 14 Zhu Qiyu refused to be a puppet Yu Shilang was forced to express his position

Yu Qian didn't make any detours with Zhu Qiyu, and immediately got straight to the point: "On August 50th, that is, the day His Highness asked the Queen Mother to leave Beijing, the main force led by His Majesty was attacked in Tumubao, and the [-] elite army was wiped out.

Now that His Majesty's life and death are unknown, His Royal Highness King Tan is requested to return to the capital as soon as possible, to supervise the country and govern, so as to reassure people's hearts. "

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said with a smile: "If Yu Shilang uses the saying of 50 elites to fool others, I welcome and support it very much. But now there are only you, me, and her in this room, so let's say something heartfelt. As for the obvious nonsense of 50, please stop talking about it."

When Yu Qian heard the words, he no longer insisted on it. After all, the 50 is indeed a bit too fanciful.Even if you have just read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms a little bit, and know a little bit about the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi, you will know: such words as 50 and 100 million, except for the Battle of Changping, the others are just like talking casually.

Since I skipped the talk about Che Zhilu, let's talk directly about the defense of Beijing.It's just that Yu Qian looked at Lin Xiangyu in embarrassment, trying to persuade him to quit.Unexpectedly, Zhu Qiyu was the first to speak out, and said casually:

"Yu Shilang must have heard from the Queen Mother that the widow has a disease, and when he is agitated, he will have a splitting headache. He needs someone to take care of him all the time, and he can't leave him for a moment.

So the concubine must be by my side at all times, we are a husband and wife, so it doesn't matter what Yu Shilang has to say in front of her. "

Yu Shilang was puzzled when he heard Monk Zhang Er.I had no choice but to poke my neck and ask: "Dare to ask Your Highness, there should be no problem with my head, how can I remember that your princess is Wang Niangniang, and she is still in Beijing's Wangfu at the moment. Why is it only a few days? There is another princess."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile when he heard the words: "Please put your heart in your stomach, Yu Shilang, the widow's head is faulty, but Yu Shilang's head is good. The princess you know is Princess Yi, and the princess in front of you is Qi." princess."

"Princess Qi?"

Seeing that Yu Qian was introduced into his own routine, Zhu Qiyu hurriedly put a big hat on Qian's head: "I have long heard that Yu Shilang is a rich man with five chariots. He is well-known and memorized. He was only 23 years old and won the Jinshi. Xiao Wang has always admired him." to."

A big hat was roughly put on the head by King Tan, and Yu Qian immediately became vigilant.But he had to answer the words, Yu Qian had no choice but to cup his hands and said: "Your Highness's absurd praise, the humble minister is no more than the middleman's capital, it all depends on the simplicity of Xuanmiao."

"Yu Shilang is too modest, and Xiao Wang is dull by nature and doesn't like reading. I went out of Beijing recently, and the journey was boring, so I just flipped through a few pages of books. It's just that although I didn't get anything from reading, I had a small question. Now I just met Yu Shilang, please don't hesitate to teach me and help Xiao Wang clear his doubts."

Yu Qian hurriedly replied: "Don't dare, dare not, please tell me, Your Highness, I am willing to discuss one or two things with Your Highness."

Zhu Qiyu asked seriously: "What is the meaning of the word '郕' for me, the king of Ying?"

Yu Qian was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at Zhu Qiyu in astonishment.

Although Zhu Qiyu secretly laughed in his heart, his face was full of an expression of humbly asking for advice.

Yu Qian was choked by Zhu Qiyu for a long time and couldn't speak for a long time, but he had a difficult moment: say that he didn't know, Xuefu Wuche's hat had just been put on, and he hadn't put on his hat yet.He was asked to turn around, and it was too disrespectful to spread the word.If you say you know it, it's obvious that Zhu Qiyu has already dug a big hole, and it's shining brightly, just waiting for him to jump into it.

Zhu Qiyu urged: "Why, Yu Shilang is not willing to teach the widow?"

Yu Qian sighed, and had no choice but to reply: "Yu, the name of the ancient place, is located in Puyang, Henan, and Ningyang, Shandong. It is the feudal state of Ji Wu, the seventh son of King Wen of Zhou."

Zhu Qiyu made a gesture of invitation, signaling Yu Qian to continue to speak the next half of the sentence.

Seeing that he couldn't escape this big pit, Yu Qian had no choice but to bite the bullet and continued: "According to the "Spring and Autumn" records, in the eighth year of Duke Zhuang of Lu, the State of Lu and the State of Qi sent troops to encircle Qi, and Qi surrendered to Qi. The two countries discussed together, and Qi alone accepts the country of Yi.”

Zhu Qiyu praised: "Yu Shilang is really knowledgeable, and Xiao Wang admires it so much. I understand everything from your explanation. According to your explanation, I, the Prince of Yi, is a miscellaneous prince under King Qi. You See if I understand correctly."

Yu Qian had no choice but to nod his head, although Zhu Qiyu deliberately made some words inaccurate, but the general meaning is indeed correct, the name of King Ying is indeed a miscellaneous prince.

After all, no matter how thick-skinned a person is, he can't be shy and insist that King Tan is a great title.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "As the only second son of the late emperor and the only younger brother of His Majesty, I am the vassal prince who is closest to the current royal family, but you gave me such a miscellaneous name as Prince, isn't it a bit disgraceful?" .

Since the state of Yi is a small vassal under Qi, I hope to be promoted one step higher and become the king of the big vassal of Qi. Is this too much to ask? "

Hearing this, Yu Qian was even more afraid to answer: Zhu Qiyu was talking about being promoted from King Yi to King Qi on the surface, but in fact he was alluding to Xiaozong becoming the master of Dazong.

Zhu Qiyu didn't intend to ask Yu Qian to express his opinion, so he continued to complain: "You give me a miscellaneous prince, and you treat me harshly on weekdays. That's fine, so I won't say anything. The key is now that the country is facing a crisis. Bao, the north is in danger of falling, and you have come to let me be the supervisor of the country again, and take the blame for it.

When the time comes, you will be defeated first, and all the credit will be yours.If you can't fight back, if the capital falls, you will put the shit pot on my head.What you think is pretty good, but how can there be so many good things in this world.

Yu Shilang, feel your conscience and say, is this something that people do? "

Yu Qian was also angry when he heard this: This current emperor is indeed too stingy, and there are still so many serious king titles vacant, like Wei Wang, Liang Wang, Wu Wang, Qi Wang, Yue Wang, Han Wang, Chen Wang, just count them. Just a lot, just give him a no.It’s not that you are so petty and stingy, and you made something to break the king, but it turned out to be a trick, which caused me to be ridiculed here on behalf of the court.

Zhu Qiyu saw that Yu Qian was silent, so he clicked to stop, and changed another question: "If it is confirmed that the emperor's brother has been captured, how will the court plan to deal with it?"

Yu Qian was taken aback when he heard the words, choked again by this tricky question and didn't know how to answer.

Zhu Qiyu saw that Yu Qian still didn't speak, and continued to ask: "Is it to let the emperor, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, stay in Wala all the time, while Daming is left without a leader? Or should the emperor's eldest son Zhu Jianshen be the emperor? Or should the emperor be the emperor?"

When Yu Qian heard the words, he still didn't dare to answer.

Before it was confirmed that the orthodox emperor had been captured, even Yu Qian did not dare to abolish the establishment lightly.

Yu Qian couldn't stay silent all the time, and just let Zhu Qiyu ask questions there, so he had to reply: "I would like to ask His Royal Highness King Yi to return to Beijing to supervise the country first, and then discuss it in the long run after the situation becomes clear."

Zhu Qiyu asked again: "It's okay to let me go back, you have to make a statement: Is my supervisor a puppet that was emptied there, or is it the real power supervisor who is in charge of state affairs?"

When Yu Qian heard the words, he still couldn't answer.

The questions Zhu Qiyu asked were extremely difficult.

At this point, Zhu Qiyu refused to give in any more, and complained to Qian: "You can't go too far, let me supervise the country, but you have the final say on everything. In the end, when the thing is done, you cheered and cheered. It's all yours.

If things don't work out in the end, you'll have nothing to do with you, and you'll be responsible for all the blame.Do you yourself think this is appropriate? "

Yu Qian had no choice but to reply: "If His Royal Highness King Tan is willing to return to Beijing to supervise the country, he will naturally be in charge of state affairs and preside over military and state affairs."

Zhu Qiyu confirmed again: "That is to say, during my period of supervising the country, if I don't nod my head on a state matter, you will not be able to pass it or carry it out. Right?"

Yu Qian nodded cautiously: "As Your Highness said, it is true."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Okay, then let me tell you first, what is the idea of ​​governing the country after I supervise the country, listen to the minister. If you can accept it, I will go back to supervise the country, if you can't accept it, then Go and invite King Xiang as soon as possible."

"Your Highness, please speak."

Finally, it was time to talk about the most critical and controversial content. Yu Qian pulled himself together and listened carefully.

Zhu Qiyu said with a serious face: "First, during the prison period, I will never allow you to transfer the main force of the Ming army back to the capital."
