Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 172

In the end of a quarrel, someone has to take the blame.

Chen Yi, Yang Shan, Li Shi, and Li Xian, who were often sent as envoys to the Wara camp, finally became the unyielding choices, and were elected by a group of ministers, and they forced themselves to go to the Palace of Compassion.

Before Empress Dowager Sun had dinner, Chen Yi and others made an urgent notification, and they arrived in front of Empress Dowager Sun smoothly.

Empress Dowager Sun was a little surprised at first, why did such a group of small shrimps come to find her.Then a bad premonition arose in my heart, so I quickly asked: "My dear friends, is there something wrong with the Supreme Emperor?"

Among the four, Chen Yi, the imperial censor of the right capital, had no choice but to stand up bravely and recount the matter to Queen Mother Sun.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Sun was so angry that she almost smashed things, cooperating with the harem to make a fuss, complaining, and managed to scrape together 60 taels of silver, and it was gone in a blink of an eye.

The money alone is enough, the key is that it will be deep winter in a blink of an eye, if the Supreme Emperor is not welcome back, he will have to suffer in the freezing cold beyond the Great Wall.

More importantly, at the speed at which the new emperor seized power, if the Supreme Emperor stayed outside for a year or two, all his confidant ministers would have to be replaced when he came back.

Empress Dowager Sun glanced at Jin Ying, the eunuch next to her, and sighed deeply: You don't have to wait for a year or two. Wang Zhi and Yu Qianquan were sent out of the capital, as were Shang Ren and Peng Shi, whom they secretly promoted.

The people promoted by the Supreme Emperor himself were all fighting outside.Well now, the people who can come before my eyes are Chen Yi, Yang Shan, Li Shi, and Li Xian, who basically had no sense of existence before the war.

But what puzzled Empress Dowager Sun the most was why the new emperor had no interest in the Forbidden City. It had been more than two months since he ascended the throne, and he had given some inconspicuous jobs to the five personal eunuchs.After that, he never intervened in any court affairs.

This is really weird, the majestic emperor of Ming Dynasty doesn't even have a eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies, and the new emperor doesn't care about it at all, just leisurely playing with women at home all day long.

Empress Dowager Sun wanted to ask Chen Yi and the others in front of her, but after thinking about it, these people were sent to Wala all day long to suffer, and they would not be welcomed by the emperor at first glance, and they would not be able to find anything out of them, so there were not many of them at all. It's a waste of time.

At this time, Chen Yi saw that the Empress Dowager Sun had not spoken for a long time, so he could only urge him: "Whether you want to agree to Yexian's request, please ask the Empress Dowager to show you."

In fact, from the heart of Empress Dowager Sun, don't you just want a woman first, just give it to him.But Empress Dowager Sun also knew that saying this was politically incorrect.

Because of her experience in assisting the government, Queen Mother Sun can be regarded as a relatively experienced political fighter. When Zhu Qizhen was completely passive, she still chose to forbear and give in, waiting for the opportunity.

So the four ministers heard that the queen mother tried her best to restrain her disappointment, and replied quietly: "You tell the emperor, just say that it is my palace's intention, so let's refuse it first.

As for whether it is war or peace first, let him go.There is only one requirement of this palace, that is, when the two armies are at war, our army must try to avoid harming the Supreme Emperor. "

"The Empress Dowager Shengming."

The four ministers were relieved when they heard the words, and hurriedly flattered them a lot, then hurriedly resigned.

Before dinner, Zhu Qiyu had already got the news, and as expected, Mrs. Sun would take the blame again.

Zhu Qiyu understood Queen Mother Sun's strategy in his heart, and wanted to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity. Once he was negligent, he would give himself a fatal blow and turn things around in an instant.

This idea is quite good, but it is a pity that the ideal is very full, but the reality will be extremely cruel.

Although the peace talks have been an exception, the fundraising auction on the last night of Jietianlou will continue.

Zhu Qiyu presided over the reception of all his cronies in the mansion. After finishing the last night of mobilization, the battle will resume tomorrow.

The banquet tonight is mainly for reviewing and reviewing his cronies.Now the emperor's cronies have evolved from three or two big cats and kittens before he ascended the throne to a small military and political group with a small size but complete internal organs.

Among them are many nobles: Xu Yongning, Duke of Ding, Li Xuan, Duke of Cao, Xu Heng, Marquis of Xing'an, and Wang Tong, Marquis of Chengshan.There are princes, but they can't win over the earl.

Among the generals, there is Fan Guang besides the personal guards; among the personal guards, there are Xu Tong, Gu Zhong, and Liu Chang.

Among the civil servants, important officials of the fourth rank and above: Chen Xun, Wang Wen, Jiang Yuan, Xu Xuan.Young talents below the fourth rank: Huang Pu, He Yi, Lian Gang.

There are still some who did not come: Luo Tong, the left servant of the Ministry of War, He Wenyuan, the new cabinet minister, Xu Zheng and Huang Jian, the new Zhongshu Sheren; Not in the capital.

As for Hao Yi, the admiral of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, he did not come on purpose.Zhu Qiyu didn't want to have too close contact with the Yumajian, and exposed his layout in the Yumajian in advance.

Zhu Qiyu thought this way: If the Empress Dowager Sun forbears, then I will also forbear; when the Empress Dowager Sun and the Taishanghuang faction break out into trouble, I will give them a big surprise with the four guards of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

In Zhu Qiyu's heart, his three personal guards ranked first, and then the four guards of the Imperial Horse Supervisor led by Hao Yi and the Xiaoqi Battalion led by Xu Heng tied for second.

As for the bottom one, it is naturally Jin Yiwei.These people receive the best salaries, but they don't work.If you say they are loyal to the Supreme Emperor, it seems that they have not done anything for the Supreme Emperor; if you say they are loyal to the new emperor, you can't see their willingness and behavior to be loyal to the new emperor if you look left and right.

In this way, until the evening, the banquet went very smoothly, Zhu Qiyu came up to the fifteen cronies who came to the banquet, and gave him a bloody blow.

As the emperor, Zhu Qiyu didn't have any fancy tricks, just this trick: make an official and make a wish.

Zhu Qiyu never said such nonsense as serving the country and saving the people.Just tell everyone what I need you to do for me, and what kind of officials and titles I will bestow on you after it is done.

What I said is clear and clear, and my cronies can hear it clearly, the business is fair, and there is no deceit.

So the more you drink the wine, the happier you are. Civil servants have been in the cold for ten years, and military generals have been fighting bloody battles. Isn't it just to sell the emperor's house.

The two sides got what they wanted, and the lively and lively drinking finally ended the banquet. Tonight was really a joy for both guests and hosts.Afraid that something might go wrong on the road, Zhu Qiyu sent a large number of personal guards out of the ordinary, and sent every one of his confidants to the door of the house. The guards came back after watching everyone enter the house.

This was also the only time Zhu Qiyu drank too much in the past three months.

When Zhu Qiyu returned to the room drunk, he saw that Lin Xiangyu had also come back, just as relieved of a heavy burden, he leaned on the bedside to look through the account book, so Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile:

"My lord, how much did we sell for all those scraps of iron?"
