Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 181 You must give what you want first to the emperor to signal a complete retreat

After reading the letter, Empress Dowager Sun frowned tightly, never dreaming that her son would write such a letter.

Zhu Qizhen was afraid that the letter would be checked by Xinjun's people, so he wrote it very cryptically.But the mother and child are connected, and the Queen Mother can understand it at once.

Zhu Qizhen made three demands in the letter. First, people from his own faction should lie down completely and wait for the opportunity.Whatever Xinjun wants to do, let him do it, don't raise any objections, let alone make any obstructions.

This is called taking what you have but giving it first.If Xinjun is willing to do nothing and just play with women at home, no one can do anything against Xinjun.

But as long as the new king wants to make a difference and carry out reforms with a certain depth, it will inevitably reveal flaws, and then he can find the right time to defeat him in one fell swoop.

The second request is to place Xing'an and others next to Xinjun as undercover agents, and it is best to buy some people who serve the emperor personally.

The third request was even more unexpected. Zhu Qizhen suggested that the harem should be released for the new emperor's concubines to live in.It is best to give up both the Qianqing Palace and the Kunning Palace.Especially Empress Qian and Concubine Wan Chen, it is best to bring the second and third princes to live in a palace close to the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Empress Qian should leave her affairs alone and stay away for the time being.With Empress Qian's ability, if she clings to the position of the harem lord, it will be futile and she will only bring herself to humiliate herself.

After reading it, Empress Dowager Sun handed the letter to Empress Qian, and motioned for everyone present to pass it on one by one.

So Empress Qian, Concubine Wan Chen, Jin Ying, and Xing'an all read the letter carefully.

Xing'an had already met the Supreme Emperor in Wala camp before, so Xing'an was the fastest to understand the meaning of this letter.

After thinking for a while, Jin Ying basically understood the emperor's intentions.

Only Empress Qian and Concubine Wan Chen were still reluctant.Especially Empress Qian, who was originally the lord of the harem, but now she is asked to step aside completely, it would be strange if she could think about it.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Sun hated iron for being weak in her heart, and asked with a wry smile: "Queen, the Supreme Emperor wants you to back down in order to protect you. Otherwise, tell me, a Queen Zhou and a Princess Qi, even if they are not the same Hold together, just take out one, who can you fight against?"

After hearing the words, Empress Qian had nothing to say.

Sun Taihuang saw that Empress Qian still had self-knowledge, so he said to Xing'an: "Xing'an, you can go to the Qi Palace to do this errand. Just say that it is the intention of me and the Supreme Emperor to vacate the Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace, and let the emperor take it with him. The concubines lived in.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem if the emperor and the imperial concubine always lived in the palace.Let the envoys of the foreign vassals see, our Ming royal family is not a joke in the eyes of the vassal state.

Even in order to maintain the image of the family and the country, the emperor's family had to move in.You tell the emperor, if you don't move, I will invite you in person. "

Xing'an said in embarrassment: "Empress Dowager, the emperor doesn't trust us, even if we say it, it will be useless. Besides, the emperor is not stupid. Once their family enters the palace, won't they just let us play around.

Look at what the emperor has done in the past three months. Does he look like he will be manipulated by others? "

If Xing'an hadn't followed the Supreme Emperor from the beginning and was really loyal, Xing'an himself would have really wanted to take refuge in the new emperor.

Empress Dowager Sun complained: "You can't think of a way. Don't you usually please the master the most? Now you and Jin Ying are already the top two eunuchs in the palace. Why do you even think about this? Can't handle the little things?"

Xing'an smiled wryly and said: "Don't mention it, what's the first one and the second, empress dowager, our supervisor of ceremonies has been completely emptied now. It seems that one of us is the eunuch in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, and the other is the supervisor of ceremonies and the eunuch who holds the pen and the east. Factory admiral eunuch.

But the present memorial is first drafted by the cabinet, then reviewed by the emperor's Zhongshu Sheren, and finally approved by the supervisor of ceremonies.

The floor of Zhongshu Sheren is separated in the middle, so we can only obediently criticize the manuscripts that have been sent up, and we can neither ask nor comment.We have become purely a tool for ticking and drawing circles, without any personal will to speak of.

In addition, Cheng Jing, the supervisor of ceremonies, and Wang Cheng, the bookkeeper, are always watching, waiting to find our faults.

So now our life is not as good as the seal of the imperial supervisor. "

After hearing the words, Empress Dowager Sun replied with disapproval: "Then you are also the admiral of the East Factory, and the East Factory has also been emptied?"

"Not to mention Dongchang. You know, Queen Mother, that all the eunuchs in the inner court have to be attached to the emperor to survive. Now the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty know that we are rejected by the new emperor. In this way, who else will take Dongchang?" Seriously.

Even Jin Yiwei, since being taken over by Uncle Guo, has already ignored Dongchang. "

After all, Xing'an sighed hard, as a subordinate, the most feared thing is not the leader's beating and scolding, but the leader's complete ignorance.

Xing'an and Jin Ying are facing such a situation: Zhu Qiyu completely ignores the two of them, has no expectations, no orders, not even the idea of ​​summoning them, and doesn't want to see them, let alone say a word.

So Xing'an added to Queen Mother Sun: "Unless you come up with something that can impress the new king, it is absolutely impossible to gain the trust of the new king."

Empress Dowager Sun became angrier the more she heard it: "Is there anything that the emperor can't get now, and what else can I impress him. Forget it, go to the palace to find out what's going on tomorrow, and I'll think about it later. What can be used to impress Zhu Qiyu."

Empress Dowager Sun waved away the crowd helplessly, and went back to the room alone to sulk.

There was nothing to say all night, and in the morning of the next day, Zhu Qiyu first met his three uncles and two aunts.

Not long after, Zhu Qiyu coaxed his few relatives into smiles.These relatives have a very good advantage: they are low-key and do not cause trouble.On weekdays, I don't commit crimes or commit crimes, nor do I corrupt the law. I just live my life at home in peace.

So Zhu Qiyu promised the first uncle the Marquis, the second uncle and the third uncle the Earl, and the two aunts a first-class order, and the five families were very satisfied.

After chatting for a while, Guo Cong, the second roommate of Wuding Hou's family, came to see him.Ever since he heard about the Second Marquis yesterday, Guo Cong has been anxious to confirm it. Only by hearing the promise of the new prince with his own ears can he be at ease.

Zhu Qiyu didn't make a fool of himself, and promised Guo Cong in front of Guo Cong that once the war was over, he would make Guo Cong the Marquis of Wenxin, the same hereditary successor as Marquis Wu Ding.My only request is that the first and second families get back together, and that the brothers will help each other and live in harmony in the future.

Then how could Guo Cong refuse to agree, now that there is no title competition, there is no need to continue the fight between the first house and the second house.Without the conflict of interests, who would fight against each other and let outsiders see jokes.

This day, there were one group of people after another group, and finally had lunch, and sent everyone away. Zhu Qiyu was just about to take a nap when Jin Ying and Xing'an came to see him again.
