Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 157

"The third night is to entertain our family's cronies. Let's talk about it. You can treat yourself to this. The nobles and generals invited in the previous two nights, such as Duke Ding, Marquis of Xing'an, Marquis of Chengshan, Fan Guang, etc. , repeat please.

On the first day of the banquet, you invited Li Xuan to the honorable banquet, and arranged it at the state banquet.I will stop pretending, I will use Ding Guogong, Xing'an Hou, and Li Xuan to form the Three Kingdoms Duke who is close to the new monarch, plus Wei Guogong who will be responsible for guarding Nanjing for me.

The remaining princes, go wherever you like.They are too lazy to be loyal to me, and I don't even bother to serve them. "

The concubine smiled and agreed, and took everyone out.

Zhu Qiyu played with women at home, the process cannot be described in detail.

Lian Gang was very busy, commanding all the preaching points set up in the capital, and motivating the people in the capital to donate money to redeem the Supreme Emperor.

Regarding the ins and outs of the redemption of the Supreme Emperor, Lian Gang has truthfully stated that this is a donation in the name of the Empress Dowager Sun, and the ransom is paid in the name of the Queen Mother.
The reaction of the people in the capital was neither enthusiastic nor particularly indifferent.Everyone is still willing to redeem the Supreme Emperor.After all, the Supreme Emperor also went out to defend his family and country, which led to him being kept in captivity; after all, the emperor of a country has been a prisoner for a long time, and it is really disrespectful to the country.

As for the emperor calling the door and leading the Wala army to the city of Beijing, although Zhu Qiyu made great efforts to publicize it, it was not vivid and specific enough for the people in the capital, and not everyone could empathize with it.

Zhu Qiyu doesn't care about this, as long as the propaganda can have an effect on less than half of the people.It is unrealistic to think that in this era, through propaganda, everyone will dislike the emperor.

Before dinner, basically all the dignitaries in the capital had received invitations.Civil servants and low-ranking military officers received an invitation card.

Honorable and high-ranking military generals usually receive two invitations: one is from the emperor, and the other is from Jietianlou, the largest restaurant in the capital, entrusted by the imperial court, to raise donations for three consecutive nights dinner party.

Coincidentally, the timing of the two is exactly the same.Those who don't know will have great doubts: who is the owner of this Jietianlou, who dares to sing against the emperor, does it really have a background of Tongtian?
The invitation to Jietianlou also clearly stated that famous courtesans from the capital and various theater troupes were invited to perform in turn, and the owner would auction off hundreds of rare treasures at the dinner party. .

The most exciting thing is that the famous prostitutes who are invited can raise donations through performances.The owner stipulates that if each famous prostitute raises 1 taels of donations, not only can he regain his freedom, but also get rid of his low status forever, erase all official bad records, and even choose one person on the spot to be entrusted to him for life when they are in love with each other.

The final result is obviously that people are willing to attend the invitation of Tianlou. One is that there are many activities here, and the other is that everyone's curiosity has been aroused.

People are curious about how much donations can be raised, and how many famous prostitutes can be freed.I am even more curious about whether the owner who is fighting the emperor can fulfill his promise.Those who dare to promise to permanently remove their low status for famous prostitutes and erase all official bad records are definitely not something ordinary people can do.

With excitement, everyone stayed up until the next day.

Early in the morning, a large mission left the city.

This mission was presided over by Hu Wei himself, and Chen Yi, Yang Shan, Li Shi, and Li Xian were dispatched collectively.Even Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, and Xing'an, the eunuch who was also the admiral of the East Factory, were rare in person.

Because Empress Dowager Sun was eager to redeem Zhu Qizhen, she ordered Xing'an to personally escort the 60 taels of silver that had been raised and send it to the Yexian Army.

Sending the money out will give you peace of mind, and the possibility of accidents will be much smaller.No matter how unbearable it is, the rules of doing things with money must be followed.

Zhu Qiyu got the news soon, but he didn't stop him, but was very optimistic about the success.

The money stays in the Wara camp and won't run away. Anyway, my own guards will eventually attack at night. As long as the time comes, the army will blow up the camp first. Isn't this money just picked up casually? The pocket money sent by the guards is gone.

What a pleasant thing it is to take money from political enemies and support one's own personal guards.

In this mission, there were also eight talents prepared by Empress Zhou for the Supreme Emperor, and a total of twelve concubines given to Ma Liang, Yuan Bin, and Ha Ming.In addition, Queen Zhou was afraid that the emperor would be too cold, so she sent another ten carts of red Luo charcoal.

This resulted in two completely opposite attitudes. Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Qian acted in accordance with the standpoint of bringing the Supreme Emperor back, while Empress Zhou acted in accordance with the expectation of the Supreme Emperor to live in Wala for a long time.We sent ten carts of red charcoal before, and now we are sending another ten carts. The Emperor Taishang desperately built them, and they couldn't finish burning them all in one winter.

Zhu Qiyu ordered the concubines bestowed on Yexian and Boyan Timur, and they were also brought in the mission.

Because these were planned by Zhu Qiyu a long time ago, and the candidate was also decided long ago. She was selected from among the Wei Da officials of her own Yingzhou, who was interested in Ming Dynasty and had pure Mongolian blood.

In this way, it will not violate the ancestral system that prohibits Han women from getting married, but also can place eyeliner around Yexian and Boyan Timur.Although they are not expected to assume the role of Shih Tzu, it is not a problem to cause some psychological pressure on Ye Ye first.

Zhu Qiyu is also very eccentric and cherishes feathers. When it comes time to do such a bad thing, he will not let Huang Pu go, but hand it over to Hu Yi, Chen Yi, Li Xian and other ministers he hates very much.

After eating breakfast and inspecting around the barracks, the mission came to the front of the barracks.Since it was normal for the missions to come and go, they were all let in without thinking too much about it.

Hu Wei led the crowd to pay homage to the Supreme Emperor, and then hurriedly delivered the 60 taels of hot potato to Ye Xian.

Yexian was naturally overjoyed, praising the empress dowager's holiness again and again, and said that as soon as the follow-up 40 arrived, he would immediately return it to the empress dowager.

But it wasn't long before Yexian was happy, and then Hu Yi conveyed the new king's will, and Yexian's face darkened.

It was a good thing for the new monarch to become a prince first.But Yexian is not stupid. In this way, Yexian, Boyan Timur, and Ara Zhiyuan are all princes, and the three of them are officially equal in terms of status.

On Daming's side, all three are princes.On Dayuan's side, theoretically, the three of them are all courtiers.So what is the essential difference between you?What else is up and down?It would be strange if I could be happy first.

When he saw the woman brought by the mission, he felt even more angry.

Not counting the maids brought here, among the 24 women with official status: eight Han women of medium beauty, they are the women of the Supreme Emperor.Twelve superb and stunning Han women, who were concubines of Ma Liang, Yuan Bin, and Ha Ming in name, were actually sent to the Supreme Emperor to enjoy.

And the remaining four most unattractive Mongolian girls are concubines given to Yexian and Boyan Timur by the new king.

Isn't this burying people? The Ming court made it clear that it was expressing that it was not worthy of sleeping with men and women.

In addition to these women, dozens of maids and eunuchs were sent to serve the Supreme Emperor.

First of all, I really can't stand it anymore, the Supreme Emperor is taken as a prisoner by himself, so after all this, Zhu Qizhen really regards himself as the emperor.

I also know that the new emperor of Ming Dynasty has fifteen top beauties around him, and the current Supreme Emperor has twelve more beauties, plus the previous four concubines, there are sixteen in total, one more than the new emperor.

It is not too much to say that the Taishanghuang lives more like an emperor than an emperor.

I also glanced at the Supreme Emperor first, and secretly felt resentment: It’s okay for the new king to look down on me, but I have been very respectful and caring to the Supreme Emperor these days. Rewards, but I never thought of giving myself a woman, let alone giving myself one or two of the women sent by the new king for fun.

It seems that the Supreme Emperor also agrees with the new king's approach from the bottom of his heart, thinking that the Wala people are not worthy of enjoying Han women.Even if this Han woman was just a prostitute of the Jiaofang Division, the dignified Mengyuan Grand Master and Wala Grand Master, she is not worthy of enjoying it.

The insulting prejudice and obsession of the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty gave birth to the idea of ​​overthrowing the results of the peace talks and continuing the war.

Boyan Timur on the side obviously also thought of this, and after taking a closer look at Ye Xian's face, he knew that the peace talks were about to suffer.

As the upper-level dignitaries of Wala, Boyan Timur is very aware of the weaknesses of Yexian and Ara Zhiyuan: the two have a problem, they both want to be strong.That is to say, when a person breathes his breath, the Buddha is a stick of incense.

In order to gamble, these two people dare to do anything.

So Boyan Timur made his final decision: follow Huang Pu's advice, run, run quickly, run without looking back, run all the way back to Wala, stay here and die here first.
