Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 180

The two sides spent some more time to negotiate the details of some specific affairs, and then completely relaxed.

After calming down their worries, the family had a happy lunch.Zhu Qiyu made another exception and had a good drink with his young father-in-law.

It wasn't until it was getting late that the guests and the host had a good time, the banquet was over, and they went home separately.

Zhu Qiyu drank so much that his legs trembled when he walked, but he still insisted on sending the eldest princess and her party out, and sent three hundred guards to send the eldest princess all the way to the gate of Marquis Wuding's mansion before returning.

The concubine ordered a few words to let the concubines take good care of their sons, and then went back to Beifu to rest.

Zhu Qiyu was still standing in the main courtyard, while blowing the cold wind to sober up, he pulled Lin Xiangyu to laugh and said, "Today you got the status of honorable daughter, and I got a political exchange from the Supreme Emperor who tacitly allowed me to clean up the court.

It's really rewarding, and I can move on to the next step. "

Lin Xiangyu asked with a smile: "What's the next step? Please tell me clearly, my husband."

"The next step is to pave the way for the grand ceremony of Jingtai, you go to send invitations now, and invite three uncles and two aunts to the mansion tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow, I invited Queen Hu's two brothers to come to my house for dinner.

I will appease my uncles first, promise their titles, and put them all in Jinyiwei, and then I will meet Queen Hu's two brothers.

To justify Empress Hu's name, we must first start by treating her two brothers well. "

"Understood, the husband should go back to the room first, and the slave family will arrange for someone to deliver the invitation."

So the two of them were about to leave the main courtyard and act separately, but Liu Chang rushed in after rushing in, and didn't stop until they were in front of them.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "An Guo, calm down, you are about to become an earl, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Liu Chang had no choice but to stand still on the spot, trying to catch his breath, and then replied: "Your Majesty, great victory, we killed more than 3000 people in one battle."

"Oh, I see, it's nothing, it's normal."

Zhu Qiyu was very calm, and killed another 3000 people, which was still 4 short.Anyway, all my pursuits are to kill a total of [-] people, and then win back the money that my princess bet in the Sun's casino.

But Liu Chang retorted with a puzzled look: "No, no, this is not normal. The general really doesn't understand why those Oirat cavalry still want to defend our large formation when they know that our formation has multiple defenses and is unbreakable. Are they really eager to avenge their comrades who were built into Jingguan?"

Zhu Qiyu had 1 points of patience for this No.[-] who he had promoted from the bottom-level soldiers, and explained in detail:
"You must remember that the military is an extension of politics. When fighting a war, the first thing to do is to fight against the temple. The temple is defeated, and the battlefield is won?

Take today's battle as an example, Ye Xian wanted these people to die because they were not Ye Xian's direct descendants.

They are dead, and they can just give an explanation to the Wala soldiers who are eager to avenge the Ming army: Anyway, everyone fought and fought hard. It's so strange that it's on the head first.

And the generals who directly led these dead Vala soldiers were also willing to see such a result. "

Liu Chang didn't understand anymore: "These generals, why are they willing to watch their soldiers die?"

"Because these people are all elite soldiers who were first selected from the Ara Zhiyuan. The leading generals are still loyal to the Ara Zhiyuan, while some of the soldiers under him have turned to Yexian.

Therefore, these generals also hope to consume the soldiers at both ends of the first mouse. The death of these soldiers in vain can also arouse the dissatisfaction of those soldiers who are still loyal to Ah La, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

This is politics. You only focus on fighting on the battlefield, while the leaders in power are playing games with each other, using the bottom soldiers as pawns, and they are exchanging and reorganizing their interests. "

When Liu Chang heard this, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.No wonder today a team of [-] Oirats rushed to kill the impenetrable formation of the Ming army inexplicably. It turned out that there was such a layer of insider information that these [-] Oirat soldiers were forced to be cannon fodder.

Zhu Qiyu patted Liu Chang's shoulder with a smile: "An Guo, don't be afraid. You are my people, and I will protect you from the wind and rain. No matter what time, I will not use my own bodyguards as sacrifices."

Liu Chang nodded vigorously when he heard the words, the credibility of Xinjun's words is still very high.

After comforting Liu Chang, Zhu Qiyu finally went back to his room to sleep soundly.

Less than an hour later, news of the Ming army's victory spread throughout the capital.

Zhu Qiyu slept soundly, but the whole capital city lost its peace completely.

The first to get the news were the well-informed nobles.Hearing that the Ming army had won again, even Guo Chang became terrified, and couldn't stop praising the eldest princess: "It's still grandma who has the foresight. Fortunately, we went in a hurry today. Based on the current combat efficiency of the Ming army, if we continue to fight, we will be defeated again." A few days later, we were repulsed first, so the emperor may not care about us."

The eldest princess also shook her head helplessly: "It's not all your fault, the combat capability shown by the Ming army in the capital is so different from the battlefield in Shanxi, it's understandable that you couldn't change your mind.

We're pretty good, most of the nobles must be slapping their foreheads at home to repent.The so-called emperor and courtiers, most of the nobles did not seize the opportunity. Once the new emperor completely won the victory in the defense of Beijing, these old nobles would be kicked away.

Grandson, you have to keep in mind that all the nobles in the Ming Dynasty have to rely on the imperial power to survive. This is the fundamental way for the nobles to stand.

Once any honorable family is rejected by the emperor, they will be completely finished.Just like us, we were very lucky when we offended Emperor Taizong during the Jingnan period, and after almost 50 years of tossing, we only turned around now.Like the Six Founding Dukes, the four families of Li Shanchang, Chang Yuchun, Feng Sheng, and Deng Yu simply disappeared.

Li Wenzhong's family, because of the current lack of manpower for the new king, went crazy, so they dug a hole to find the descendants of the Li family, otherwise his family would disappear. "

Guo Chang said with a smile: "Thank God anyway, our family finally survived. My grandson drank too much, so I have to go to rest."

The eldest princess smiled, and ordered Guo Chang and his wife to go back to their room.

Several families were happy and some were sad, but the Duke of England, Duke of Cheng, Marquis of Gongshun, Marquis of Cheng'an, and Boss of Fear, felt that it was too oppressive.Now the emperor has completely grasped the initiative on the battlefield, and by transferring Wang Zhi, Yu Qian and other important officials away, the prestige brought by the military victory is almost obtained by the emperor alone.

The most important thing is that today the Supreme Emperor came to show up and called the door. Now, the prestige of the new emperor and the emperor has completely changed, making the nobles even less confident.

At the same time, the heavyweight nobles who were close to the emperor had all been transferred from the capital, and the remaining Marquis of Fengcheng, Li Xian, could not afford to be a leader at all.As for the relatively complete British government, although it is generally biased towards the Supreme Emperor, the British Duke Zhang Zhong himself was supported by Zhu Qiyu himself. He shrank back and was very unwilling to come forward to oppose the new monarch.

So this group of nobles was blocked in the middle like this, and the two ends couldn't get close.

But it was said that Empress Dowager Sun had just brought Empress Qian and Concubine Wan Chen to dinner, and the eunuch Jin Ying, the supervisor of ceremonies, came in hastily.

Empress Dowager Sun frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jin Ying replied: "Report to the Empress Dowager, this is a letter from outside the city, the Supreme Emperor's personal letter."

Empress Dowager Sun regained her spirits when she heard it, and quickly took it over for a closer look.
