Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 17 Yu Qiankan Destroys the King of Yan's Yi

Cui Wenxiu saw that Yu Qian was going to talk about some knowledge that could not be read in books, she hurriedly cupped her hands and said with a smile: "I wish Wenxiu would listen attentively to hearing Minggong's high-level lectures."

Yu Qian waved his hand, looked around cautiously, and then said with a smile: "At this time, the moon and stars are scarce, and there is no one in the wilderness, so I tell you these naughty jokes.

The words come out of my mouth and into your ears. After tonight, I will not admit that I have said these words. "

"Don't teach the law to the six ears, Wenxiu saves it, please explain it quickly, Mr. Ming."

Hearing this, Yu Qian said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, that is the only second son of Xuanmiao, and he is qualified to inherit the throne. Take the present as an example, His Majesty's three princes are the top three heirs, His Royal Highness Can be ranked fourth.

But the eldest of the three princes is less than two years old.

Therefore, before His Majesty's prince grows up to ten years old, His Royal Highness King Yi's qualifications for succession to the throne are very significant.

This aroused the deep fear and suspicion of His Majesty and Queen Mother.Although His Majesty and the Empress Dowager can't do anything on the surface, you can guess what's going on behind the scenes by thinking about it. "

Cui Wenxiu responded: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will naturally place eyeliners around King Ying."

Yu Qian said with a smile: "That's right, let's see who selected the people around His Royal Highness King Yi.

From princesses, side concubines to wives and concubines, from palace chiefs to humble officials, from palace medical officers to maid eunuchs, from guards and soldiers to grooms and servants.

Up and down, inside and outside, there are hundreds of people, is there any one chosen by the king himself?No!
Among these people, some are the emperor's confidants, some are the eyes and ears of the empress dowager, some are the eyeliner of Dongchang, some are spies of the Jinyiwei, and some are from the court's bureaucracy.

And don't even think about doing a big investigation, a big cleansing, you can wipe out the palace.It is still possible to check more than a dozen people, but it is a pity that there are hundreds of people in the palace, intricate and confusing.With so many people, even if you invite Di Renjie out, it's useless. "

Cui Wenxiu gasped when she heard this: "Hearing what Duke Ming said, His Royal Highness King Tan is really having a hard time."

Yu Qian said with a smile: "If His Highness Prince Tan is just content to be a prince, these things are irrelevant. But now His Royal Highness Prince Tan wants to supervise the country and govern the army, and he is in charge of all the officials. It is impossible for his family to be in such a mess.

Anyway, I quite appreciate His Royal Highness King Tan's current approach: just flip the table and stop playing, change to another table, and start over.

If His Highness still stays in Prince Yi's Mansion, then he will just study who is the secret agent and who is the eyeliner all day long, and forget about the business.And even if His Highness studies without eating or drinking all day long, he will not be able to figure out why in the end, purely useless work, a waste of energy and emotion. "

Cui Wenxiu heard the words, and asked the question in his heart again: "As the saying goes, husband and wife are one body, is it true that the princess, as the main concubine of King Tan, doesn't have one heart with King Tan?"

Yu Qian sneered when he heard the words: "Come on, as the saying goes: Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes. How can there be so many couples who live and die together.

In addition, do you know the unspoken rules of the Ministry of Rites for selecting queens and concubines? "

When Cui Wenxiu heard this, she suddenly regained her spirits and hurriedly asked for advice.

Yu Qian continued: "The following words involve the secret mental method that cannot be expressed in words.

If you observe carefully, you will find that at the end of the draft, the people who become queens and concubines have a lot of family members.

Parents must be alive, and uncles and brothers usually start in three or four.Even if there are no real brothers, there must be cousins ​​from the uncle's family.

The truth is the same, and so is the selection of the princess.

The most strange thing is that these queens, concubines, and the fathers and brothers of the princesses almost have no good character.After gaining power, they often corrupt the law and run rampant in the village. "

Cui Wenxiu thought about it carefully, and then replied with a surprised face: "What Duke Ming said is true, it is true. Now the family of Empress Dowager Sun, the birth mother of the eldest son, Concubine Zhou, is exactly the same as what Duke Ming said."

Yu Qian said with a smile: "That's not all, if you observe more, you will find that most of these women regard their natal family as more important than their husbands.

When disaster is imminent, when they can't have both, they will always choose their parents and brothers. As for the husband...

Hey, what is a husband, maybe he can even give up his own son and daughter, just like Wu Zetian. "

Yu Qian shook his head, and continued: "In this way, some people can control these women by infiltrating their natal families.

So it is right for His Royal Highness King Tan to run away. Who knows if a concubine in Prince Tan's mansion will suddenly go crazy and send His Highness King Tan away with a bowl of soup. "

Cui Wenxiu nodded: "Yes, yes, I chatted with Mr. Cheng this afternoon and heard about what His Royal Highness King Tan has done these days.

His Highness first took in a few beggars in the ruined temple, and these were orphans.Then he earned those ten girls, all of whom were orphans who had been sold since childhood.

Firstly, these people would appreciate His Highness's kindness, and secondly, they would not have parents or brothers to be bribed by others.

It was only after Minggong said this that I realized that His Royal Highness King Tan really had a good plan. "

Yu Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Hey, just wait, our absurd prince has imprisoned the country, and there will be plenty of fun to watch."

Cui Wenxiu asked again: "Can His Royal Highness King Qi really become King Qi as he wishes?"

"Of course, unless you can fly from here to Changsha, then take King Xiang with you, and then fly from Changsha to the capital, otherwise, who else can stop King Tan.

Think about what happened between Yan and Qi during the Warring States Period.Today's son is the direct line of King Yan, but King Qi insists on the title of King Qi. Isn't this alluding to the story of Yan Qi.I dare not think about the future. "

Cui Wenxiu shook her head helplessly when she heard the words, and asked again: "What about the new little concubine His Royal Highness Prince Tan has adopted?"

Yu Qian smiled and said: "According to my own opinion, I think it's very good. Not to mention her looks are all over the country, her personality is also gentle and calm. If it were me, I would also like this kind of wronged, low-browed little woman.

Unlike that Princess Yi, who at best is fortitude, at worst is paranoid.

From now on, it will be tiring enough for King Tan to fight with us ministers every day, fighting openly and secretly.I don't think he would like to fight the princess as soon as he gets home. "

Cui Wenxiu smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it too much. This is the first time I've seen a king and two concubines. I have to go back to Beijing to watch the show."

Yu Qian also smiled and said: "Who is not seeing this for the first time, let's go, hurry up, finish the inspection at Bauhinia Pass early, and let's go back to Beijing to watch the show early."
