Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 153 The second wave of coup d'etat by the new king, the first wave of onslaught

Chen Xun took over Yu Qian's work report, and Wang Wen took over the summary evaluation of the Supreme Emperor.

Wang Wen had a keen sense of smell, and as soon as he took the document, he smelled the indistinct and refreshing fragrance of peach blossoms on it, so he raised his head involuntarily, and looked at Xinjun in surprise.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "No wonder, no wonder, I don't like to read playbooks. Although I have emphasized that writing playbooks should be concise and clear, there are always people who don't express their meaning, and what they say is clouded and misty, which is specious.

I was afraid that if I read it myself, if I got angry again, I would be dismissed from office and fined, so I simply stopped reading it myself. "

Wang Wen nodded meaningfully, expressing that he understood everything, and then carefully read the content on the paper.

But I don’t know if I don’t look at it. I was startled when I saw it. Wang Wen raised his head again and looked like the new king in surprise: The Supreme Emperor should hate Yu Qian. Why did he praise Qian so much and strongly advocate that Yu Qian be named a Marquis? .And Xinjun also took out such absurd remarks and circulated them to the ministers. What's the meaning in it?

So Wang Wen hurriedly passed the document in his hand to Chen Xun who was beside him, and after a while, the ministers circulated it.

Zhu Qiyu looked around at the crowd, and saw that the faces of all the people present were not very good-looking.Before Wang Ji was made an earl, the civil servants were not very happy, but after all, Wang Ji had a real contribution to the conquest of Luchuan, and everyone had nothing to say.

But now the Supreme Emperor proposes to give Yu Qian the title of marquis, isn't it because it's not a big deal because it's popular, and it's deliberate.The key point is that Xinjun really took it seriously and discussed it with the ministers in a serious manner.

If there is anything to discuss, just deny it.

When the ministers complained in their hearts, Zhu Qiyu added: "After the Supreme Emperor went north to hunt, he issued this edict to the ministers, and I couldn't bear to refuse it. In principle, I agree with the Supreme Emperor's decree.

You pass on the emperor's decree and let all the civil and military officials in Beijing discuss it.

After your discussion is over, the cabinet will make a statement to me, and feed back the opinions of all the officials. "

When the ministers heard the words, they said nothing more.Concession is fine, and the result of the discussion is that the ministers are all opposed, and the new king will still be stubborn when the time comes.

Zhu Qiyu then ordered: "There are two more things. After releasing Jian Shuren and Wu Shuren's family, let them live in Beijing. I will personally condolences. After the palace in Changsha is repaired, let them go to the feudal clan.

In addition, Wang Tong made great contributions to annihilating the Polo army before, and the cabinet drafted an order to restore Wang Tong's title of Marquis of Chengshan.Since then, Marquis Chengshan is still hereditary and rests with the country. "

Wang Tong, who was standing in the back row, immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly when he heard the words. He was really grateful and broke down in tears.

Zhu Qiyu personally got up to help Wang Tong up, and announced in public: "Today, I officially rehabilitated Chengshanhou, and when Jiaozhi fell, Sanyang was guilty and had nothing to do with others.

San Yang's actions to deceive the late emperor and harm the South Conquest Army are unforgivable crimes. When the war here is over, I will investigate their crimes thoroughly to serve as an example to others. "

This is the first time that Zhu Qiyu publicly stated that he wants to investigate Sanyang's attitude, and it is more straightforward and radical than the Supreme Emperor, and it is also a preliminary test of the bottom line of the ministers present.

Back then when Zhu Qizhen first came to power, he only killed Yang Shiqi's son Yang Ji.On the surface, they did not directly attack San Yang, and let them die well.

But now Zhu Qiyu's posture is towards a complete liquidation, which is much more ruthless than Zhu Qizhen.

The first reaction of the ministers present was not to oppose, but to shudder at the viciousness of the new king.

Once an adult emperor who has already mastered part of the military power, once he gets ruthless, it is really a bit scary.

Take the present as an example, there are hundreds of royal guards who are more like Jin Yiwei than Jin Yiwei standing outside the door. They not only have the loyalty to dare to kill ministers for the emperor, but also have the real experience of killing ministers.

Xinjun is not a reckless person. Since he dared to openly propose to liquidate Sanyang, he must be sure.Just like Xinjun's gritted teeth just now, the ministers believed that as long as someone strongly opposed it, Xinjun would really dare to order the guards to come back to the court again.

Moreover, Wang Tong, the biggest victim under the rule of Sanyang, has just been rehabilitated by the new king.If someone jumped out to oppose the new king and defend Sanyang, Wang Tong would definitely be willing to obey the new king's order and directly lead Tiance's guards to kill them.

Therefore, the ministers neither dared to oppose fiercely nor accepted the emperor's liquidation of Sanyang, which was really extremely entangled.

At this time, Wang Wen saw that the atmosphere was really awkward, so he stood up and asked the new king: "Dare to ask your majesty, besides Sanyang, which old ministers will your majesty deal with?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "The first emperor left five ministers Gu Ming, if Minister Gu Ming failed to fulfill his duty of assisting the government, it would be a failure of the emperor's grace and dereliction of duty.

As for the others, they were not ordered by the first emperor, but were coerced by treacherous ministers to act according to orders. I will not pursue them hard. "

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.What Xinjun meant was that only four people, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu and Hu Wei, should be pursued.Another Minister of Gu Ming, the British Duke Zhang Fu, has died in battle, and he was clearly identified as a loyal minister by the new king, so he will definitely not be held accountable.

As long as the new monarch does not get involved, the ministers' mentality of opposing the new monarch will not be so urgent.During the period of Sanyang's administration, there were indeed many problems. This is a fact that everyone knows well, so the ministers present unanimously considered the countermeasures: take out the things done during the period of Sanyang's administration, one by one, and Xinjun broke up.It is indeed Sanyang's responsibility, and they will be responsible.It is not Sanyang's responsibility, and they are not wronged.

Seeing that none of the ministers stood up to make deadly remonstrance, Zhu Qiyu himself felt a little boring. The current style of civil servants is not at all as exciting as the Zhengde Dynasty and the Jiajing Dynasty, so he had to continue to add:

"My harshness is only aimed at treacherous ministers. For loyal ministers, I only respect and reward you, so you don't have to feel sad. As long as you are loyal to Daming and me, I will naturally not treat you harshly.

Even the ministers of the former dynasty, as long as they are loyal to protect the lord and work hard for the king's affairs, I will respect and treat them favorably.

Now that I have released Jianshu, there is no need to treat Jianwen's old officials harshly.The cabinet will draw up a list of ministers who are loyal to Emperor Jianwen, such as Huang Guan, Tie Xuan, Ping An, etc., all of whom will be rehabilitated, their reputations restored, and officials and posthumous titles will be bestowed.Later generations or folks are allowed to set up temples to offer sacrifices.

It has been so many years, let this hatred completely dissipate in my hands. "

Among the ministers present, except for Hu Wei who was blushing again, everyone else called the emperor Shengming. As long as it is a move to treat the ministers kindly, everyone will support them from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhu Qiyu added: "Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng will not be pardoned, and they are not included in the rehabilitation I mentioned. Loyal ministers should be treated generously, but treacherous ministers are not.

I want all my subjects to know that good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. "

The cabinet received the edict, and a small court meeting ended.

The amount of information today is very large, and the ministers have put aside what they were going to play, and they have to go back for a while and continue tomorrow.

But at the same time, Wang Zhi and Yu Qian also left the Wara camp and went to Datong and Xuanfu respectively, preparing to supervise the Shanxi soldiers and horses and intercept the returning Wara army.

As for the Ara Zhiyuan who was besieging the city in Xuanfu, [-] troops remained to besiege the city, and he personally led [-] elite troops to storm Yang Jun's camp outside Juyong Pass.

Yang Hong, who was originally sitting on the Diaoyutai in Xuanfu City, became anxious.
