Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 306 The New Qi Palace Officially Opens Hundreds of Officials, Court Council, and Political Struggles Intensify
After finishing her hair, Princess Yongjia put on a pleasant expression, and smiled at Lin Xiangyu: "Girl, you don't have to worry about anything else, just take care of sleeping, eating, drinking and having fun, and do whatever you like, and do whatever you like.

We will handle other things properly and clearly, and you don't need to worry about it. "

Now Zhu Qiyu's recognition of Lin Xiangyu's brilliance in the Marquis of Wuding's mansion is fully revealed.

The concubine and Mrs. Wu Dinghou came to take care of Lin Xiangyu's daily life, and Wu Dinghou was responsible for guarding the palace.Wu Dinghou and his wife's respective wet nurses are in charge of delivering the babies.

Wen Xinhou Guo Cong was in charge of guarding the capital, supervising Jinyiwei and Wucheng Bingmasi.

But it is said that in the capital city, civil and military officials congratulate each other in their respective yamen, and then wait boredly to go home and get together with their relatives for the festival.

Eight months have passed since the emperor 'fleeed' after the new year.

During this period, except for the cabinet bachelors, the six ministers, and some of the emperor's close officials, the rest of the people had never seen the emperor.

At first everyone thought it was pretty good, so as not to have to suffer in the early morning.

Moreover, the emperor issued two edicts against himself, promising not to live in the Forbidden City, not to build the imperial tomb, not to set up a queen, and not to call himself "I".

In the eyes of the ministers, the emperor was really useless, especially if he didn't live in the Forbidden City. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty felt uncomfortable if they didn't live in the Forbidden City for a day.

Jingtai nested in a ravine in the western suburbs for eight months, is he still an emperor? What does the emperor mean in front of him?

But gradually, everyone felt that this was not the case.

First of all, the emperor is extremely mysterious.The former Ming emperor lived in the Forbidden City, but he didn't know that it was permeated inside and out like a sieve.

It is different now, no one knows what happened in the emperor's Xinqi Palace.

Especially how many women the emperor had in a day, which concubine was favored, and whether any concubine was pregnant, these foreign courts knew nothing at all.

Even the most basic knowledge cannot be done, and as for poisoning and drugging, it is even more impossible to talk about.

However, all civil and military officials dare not persecute the emperor at all.

Because everyone is also ignorant of the current situation of the Supreme Emperor.

This means that the life and death of the Supreme Emperor depends entirely on the emperor's conscience.

If the emperor was pressed hard, the emperor would directly smash the can and smash it. After two months, the bad news came that the Supreme Emperor unfortunately fell off his horse and realized his real death. Then there was no hope at all.

However, it is not too much to ask the emperor to convene a court meeting to meet all civil and military officials, right?

In the past few days, hundreds of officials have written memorials and asked the emperor to call a court meeting.

Just when Chen Xun, Wang Wen and others sorted out these memorials and were hesitating whether to report them to the emperor, Zhu Qiyu's edict was also sent to the cabinet.

Zhu Qiyu and the ministers had a tacit understanding and took the initiative to hold a court meeting on August [-], and informed the cabinet that the princess was pregnant for three months.

The news spread quickly and spread throughout the court.

It can be said that several families are happy and some are worried.The cabinet bachelor and the six ministers were greatly relieved.After eight months of suffering, everyone finally waited for the emperor's heir.

Now Uncle Jingyuan and Wang Ji have led an army to Ganzhou. If the Supreme Emperor can be welcomed back, and the emperor has no heirs, the pressure on these important ministers will be too great.

The attitudes of the other ministers are completely opposite. Everyone does not want the emperor to give birth to a son.

Otherwise, the current crown prince Zhu Jianshen will definitely be abolished, and the throne will be completely out of line with orthodoxy.

There is nothing to worry about. Fortunately, the emperor will hold a court meeting tomorrow, and everyone can learn about the latest developments from the emperor.

Early the next morning, civil and military officials gathered outside Chengtian Gate, ready to set off for the western suburbs together.

During the waiting period, another piece of news spread: Zhang Yuan, who diagnosed Princess Qi's happy pulse yesterday, won a generous reward. Instead of going home at night, he went to Mingyufang in Xicheng to find a good girl for a few drinks.

When I came out, because I was drunk, I accidentally slipped and fell into the Cao River, and just disappeared.

Xicheng Bingma Si gave him an unofficial status and passed the case information to the cabinet.Basically, Zhang Yuan sentenced his family members to forget about receiving the court's pension.

This is a small episode, although it is not a big deal, but it seems somewhat unlucky.

Without waiting for much discussion, Chen Xun led the crowd to set off for the western suburbs under the 'protection' of Yingzhou guards.

The conscientious ministers have already discovered that the Jin Yiwei who should have been responsible for the escort mission has disappeared, replaced by the emperor's direct relatives.

Now the military pattern in the capital has completely changed, and the original Shangzhi personal guards have completely disappeared.

In the entire capital, there are only four guards:
The upper three guards are the emperor's direct relatives: Yingzhou Guard, Tiance Guard, and Duoyan Guard.

Plus a Jin Yiwei.

But Jin Yiwei is obviously no longer the number one guard in the capital, and its function of protecting the emperor has been completely abolished.

Detective investigation and torture are Jin Yiwei's main responsibilities now.

Moreover, the emperor seldom issued an order to arrest people, so although Jin Yiwei still had the duty of torture, he might not be able to have an interrogation mission in a month or two.

The instruments of torture in Jin Yiwei's imperial prison were all rusted there.

When a group of people came to the western suburbs and got out of the carriage, the scene that greeted them stunned everyone.

What appeared in front of everyone was a city wall seven or eight miles long.

The whole section of the city wall is made of huge green bricks, and on the gate in the middle, there is a huge plaque with the words "Qi Wangfu" written on it.

Everyone was speechless when they saw this, and built a huge city with the emperor, but there were no people in the city, it was just the emperor's palace.

How absurd!
But in fact, although this Xinqi Palace has a radius of seven miles, it only looks big from the outside.

In fact, it can be divided into two parts, east and west.Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake alone almost occupy the entire East City.

And Yuquan Mountain took up almost half of the West City.

The remaining part was built into several gardens and squares by Zhu Qiyu.

Baiguan enters from the south gate of Wangfu, and there is a huge square paved with white marble.It is one hundred feet long from east to west, and two hundred feet long from north to south.

Since the Fengtian Temple has been burned down, next year's palace examination will be held here.

Occasional court meetings are also held here.

Normally, Zhu Qiyu would inspect the pro-army here.

To the north of the square is a high platform made of white marble, named Qingyuntai by Zhu Qiyu.It means that next year's Jinshi will start from here and make great progress.

After all the civil and military officials finished their shifts in sequence, Zhu Qiyu appeared on Qingyun Terrace in a blue plain robe.

After everyone saluted, Zhu Qiyu ordered to play.

The cabinet bachelors and the six ministers often see the emperor, and the emperor's purpose today is to get in touch with the ministers who haven't seen the emperor for a long time, so they all leave the opportunity to play things to others.

Civil and military officials were not too polite, and Zhang Lun, a doctor in the Ministry of Rituals, went straight to the point: "May I ask Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor is about to return to Beijing, what kind of etiquette should the court use to welcome him?

What is the specific process?Where is Your Majesty paying homage to the Supreme Emperor?Where did all the officials pay homage to the Supreme Emperor?

Where did the Supreme Emperor live after returning to Beijing?Please also show your majesty one by one. "
