Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 168

Huang Pu and He Yi moved two stools, bravely sat in front of the soft couch, and hid in the blind area of ​​vision separated by the glazed screen.

So-and-so, after sleeping all afternoon, His Majesty the Emperor, who had already recovered enough energy, couldn't help being greatly moved, and went crazy with his favorite concubine.

Although the glazed screen is opaque, the two ministers behind the screen can still feel the shadowy brilliance flow.

While moving, Zhu Qiyu asked Huang Pu: "Chengji, what did our grand master say?"

Huang Pu replied: "The grand master said that only 100 million taels of silver is not enough sincerity, and he wants sixteen stunning beauties to be his concubines before releasing them to the Supreme Emperor.

If His Majesty refuses to agree, it means looking down on the grand master, and the Oirat army can only fight to the death with the Ming army. "

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Very good, please talk to the ministers about the court meeting tomorrow morning. As for whether to agree or not, let the ministers discuss it.

If the ministers agree, we will give away the daughter; if the ministers disagree, we will start another war on the grounds that Wala wiped out [-] elite Ming troops in Juyongguan during the peace talks. "

Huang Pu quickly agreed, and Zhu Qiyu asked again: "How about our [-] Ming elites, did Prince Yang send someone to talk to Ara Zhiyuan?"

"The 10 Xuanfu fugitive troops, A'la has already informed the Datong General Army to take over. King Yang offered [-] taels of silver to redeem Yang Jun, but A'la sternly refused."

"Prince Yang still refuses to fight? Is Yu Shangshu doing anything?"

Huang Pu shook his head: "Yu Shangshu didn't do anything, and he didn't command the troops of the Xuanfu. The Prefect of Ara had stopped attacking Juyongguan, and returned to Xuanfu with [-] main force.

Now Ara's [-] troops are all surrounded by the city of Xuanfu, even if King Yang wanted to fight, his soldiers would not agree. "

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Da Ming's army has always been brave in battle, why suddenly there is such a waste as Yang Hong, it is really embarrassing to the Ming army.

Later, you asked the secret envoy to inform Ala that after the war in Beijing, tell him not to leave, and you have been besieging the city in Xuanfu, trapping Yang Hong inside.

I will send Shi Heng, Fan Guang, and Sun Tong to lead an army of 15 to pursue Yexian and enter Shanxi from Zijingguan.Afterwards, Shi Heng led an army of [-] to take over Datong; Sun Tong led an army of [-] to Huailai to monitor the movement of the Xuanfu and to collect the remains of soldiers on the Tumu Fort battlefield.

Fan Guang led an army of [-] to encircle the Xuan Mansion, completely relieve Yang Hong of his military power, and cleanse the inside and outside of the Xuan Mansion.

I want to exempt the people of the whole country from taxes and corvees, and I want to increase your salary for all of you, but it’s all about the family property of the rubbish in Shanxi. "

After finishing speaking, Zhu Qiyu immediately added: "Xingyi, in my name, you are drafting a semi-private and semi-official pardon, that is, drafting a document similar to Zhongzhi to Yu Shangshu.

How to write it and polish it yourself. The general meaning is: Yu Shangshu served as the governor of Shanxi for 19 years. He has made outstanding contributions and outstanding political achievements.Especially in terms of military affairs, rectifying armaments and strengthening the defense line made the border of Shanxi peaceful and impregnable.

Yu Shangshu has made great achievements in hard work, and I am very relieved. I plan to make Yu Shangshu the Marquis of Xuanfu in Jin Dynasty.

This matter has already been sent to the officials for review, so I will inform Shang Shu and the generals of the Xuanfu in advance, and let everyone in the Xuanfu know that they are in awe. It is best to obey orders honestly, otherwise the power of heaven will come, don't say anything It is unpredictable. "

He Yi quickly replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know how to write."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, feeling very comfortable.After all, it is the person who is hand-picked by himself who is easy to use. You don't need to speak too bluntly to understand what you mean.Like those ministers promoted by the former emperor and the Supreme Emperor, it is tiring to think about it.

……

Huang Pu and He Yi, who were outside the screen, looked at each other, at first they were a little bit surprised, but then they showed joy.Both of them are very young, and they haven't become old antiques like Hu Wei and others.

The most important thing is that the better the relationship between the emperor and his favorite concubines, the sooner more princes can be born, and the more secure everyone's future will be.

As for the emperor acting absurdly, it doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't make principled mistakes.

If Zhu Qiyu knew what Huang Pu and He Yi were thinking, he would be very relieved.After all, he is a confidant of the direct line, and he is tolerant and patient enough for his lord.

Huang Pu and He Yi just sat there without making a sound or urging them. They didn't even have a cup of tea at hand, but they didn't complain either.

After another half hour, Ning Xiang gave up her seat and signaled Linglong to continue.He put on his clothes, got up and went to bed, took the kettle on the stove, and made tea for everyone.

When Huang Pu and He Yi saw the stunning beauty with red faces, coming slowly with tea, they immediately got up and were about to kneel down.

Ningxiang stopped the two of them with a smile: "You two gentlemen don't want to see each other, it's a big deal to give such a big gift. I am different from our princess. I neither show my face, receive people, nor handle internal affairs, Run a family business.

I have already made an agreement with my husband, just take care of sleeping, and be a little toy dedicated to making him happy, so you don't have to treat me like a noble concubine.

Husband faces countless military and political affairs all day long, and there is endless pressure, so sometimes we will try to please him in different ways, don't feel strange, please understand Your Majesty, and don't say that we are seductive and seductive. "

After finishing speaking, Ning Xiang handed the tea to the two of them.

The two of them even said they didn't dare, saying that they definitely understood the emperor and all the empresses, and then respectfully took the tea.

Now that he has drunk tea, it means that he understands and accepts the absurd behavior of the emperor and his favorite concubine. Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction, and began to draw big cakes again: "Chengji, Xingyi, you two do a good job, I have high hopes for you .

Especially now that the two of you are serving as military counselors, it is a rare opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious service. I don't know how many years it will be until the next time there is such a big battle.

When our army is victorious, the general will be rushed back to Shanxi first, and I will be promoted to Xingyi as a Zuochunfang University Bachelor, and Chengji will be a Youchunfang University Bachelor. "

This time no one could persuade them, Huang Pu and He Yi resolutely knelt down and kowtowed.The emperor really didn't say anything to his confidantes. In fact, the academicians who left and right Chunfang were already able to join the cabinet and participate in politics in theory.

In the future, even if the two of them just lie down and work through their qualifications, they will be able to get into the cabinet sooner or later.

Zhu Qiyu didn't say anything about the final arrangements for the two, because he was afraid that their official careers would go too smoothly, so that they would be restless and complacent.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu had already decided on the several chief assistants of the Jingtai Dynasty: the first generation chief minister, Chen Xun, a great talent in Lianzhong Sanyuan; the second generation chief minister, Wang Wen, the emperor's loyal minister; the fourth generation and fifth generation The first assistants are Huang Pu and He Yi.
