Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 335
Chen Xun was also very helpless. Today's emperor is different from the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Both Taizu and Taizong were extremely diligent in politics, wishing they could do everything by themselves.Renzong and Xuanzong were more or less passable, at least they went to court on time to govern.

Although the Supreme Emperor has now become a sinner of the country, he can also be called diligent during his reign.

Only today is the day, maverick, unprecedented.

Officials below the fifth rank basically have no chance to meet the emperor.

Officials above the fifth rank are eligible to go to court, and they can only see the emperor two or three times a year.

Important ministers such as cabinet bachelors and six ministers often only see the emperor once in half a month.

The emperor is now only responsible for formulating major policies, and the specific implementation of policies is basically completely handed over to the relevant yamen.

Therefore, Chen Xun didn't quite understand what the emperor was thinking recently.

As for the fact that after the Supreme Emperor returned to Beijing, he lived in secluded house under house arrest; he was still able to move about freely and receive ministers freely, Chen Xun himself could not explain why.

So Chen Xun turned to look at Wang Wen, Wang Wen turned to look at Huang Pu, and Huang Pu turned to look at He Yi.

After a meal of throwing blame at each other, He Yi became the unlucky guy who finally took the blame.

He Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied to Sun: "Report to the Empress Dowager, the Holy Majesty has made it clear that the Empress Dowager resides in the Nangong Palace, he can move around at will, patrol around, and he can also summon ministers freely to receive congratulations from all officials."

When the Empress Dowager Sun heard this, her expression turned pale.The Supreme Emperor was not placed under house arrest, which has greatly exceeded expectations.

As a concession, let the emperor respectfully surrender to the emperor.

Sun put herself in Zhu Qiyu's place and thought about it, as today's emperor, it is indeed a bit unbearable to have an emperor on his head.

Whoever it is, no one is willing to kneel down every day to pay homage to the former emperor after clearly becoming the emperor.

So Empress Dowager Sun nodded, acquiescing to the decision to demote the Supreme Emperor to the Emperor of Compassion, and then continued to ask: "Who is in charge of Nangong?"

He Yi replied: "It is the Holy Majesty's decree that Xing'an, who has served the Supreme Emperor for many years, will be in charge of Nangong. Jin Ying will be in charge of Shangshan Supervisor, and Chen Xiang will be the chief eunuch of Wenhua Palace."

Queen Mother Sun nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.Jin Ying, Xing'an, and Chen Xiang all went to the south to supervise the army before, and they just returned to Beijing now.

Among them, Jin Ying and Xing'an are real confidants of their own family, and Chen Xiang is also an old man who knows everything.Zhu Qiyu ordered Xing'an to be in charge of Nangong, which was equivalent to giving the Supreme Emperor great security and personal freedom.

Jin Ying is in charge of Shangshan Supervisor, so the food safety of the Supreme Emperor will be guaranteed.

Chen Xiang served as the head of the Wenhua Palace, so that it was convenient for the Supreme Emperor to participate in political affairs.

In this way, Empress Dowager Sun was completely relieved, and it was not a loss for the title of "Gong Rang Emperor" to exchange for so many real benefits.

Zhu Qiyu is quite conscientious, after all, even if he doesn't give anything, and just force it, the emperor's faction has nothing to do.

Now the two sides have made a concession to each other, and each takes what they need, which can be regarded as retaining their respective decency.

Empress Dowager Sun, who had something on her mind, relaxed and began to examine He Yi with curiosity.

It's really interesting that all the important ministers in their 70s and [-]s put the responsibility for talking on a young man in his early twenties.

But others can say that He Yi's promotion is too fast, but Queen Mother Sun can't.

As soon as the news of the Tumu Fort change came back to the capital, the Empress Dowager Sun rushed to promote Shang Ren and Peng Shi to Hanlin Bachelors, and joined the cabinet to participate in maintenance.

So Empress Dowager Sun promoted Peng Shi to be a Bachelor of Hanlin, and Zhu Qiyu promoted He Yi to be a Bachelor of Youchunfang University.

Peng Shi was the No. 13 scholar in the 13th year of Orthodoxy, and He Yi was the second-class Jinshi in the [-]th year of Orthodoxy.

They are all superb, everyone is the same, there is no need to criticize anyone between Queen Mother Sun and Zhu Qiyu.

Empress Dowager Sun looked at her for a while before asking He Yi: "He Aiqing, are you married?"

He Yi replied: "Your empress dowager asked, Weichen just got engaged a few years ago, and will get married this month."

"Oh? Which girl did you choose?"

He Yi said with a smile: "The Queen Mother, Princess Qi is the matchmaker, and appointed Duke An's daughter."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she gasped.The emperor really dared to think and do it. An Guogong's youngest daughter is twenty-eight years old, and she is a famous beauty in the Xungui family.Xu Heng even regarded this daughter as a treasure and pampered her to the utmost.

This Miss Xu has a very high vision, so many important ministers and nobles went to propose marriage for her nephew, but An Guogong did not agree.Why was He Yi married suddenly and quietly?

Empress Dowager Sun didn't understand the relationship between these families, and she didn't know that Zhu Qiyu had married Xu Xian, Xu Heng's eldest son, so she felt strange.

In fact, it was very simple. Concubine Wu and Lin Xiangyu invited An Guogong's family to the Qi Palace, first arranged for He Yi to show his face, and then proposed marriage by the way during lunch.

The Xu family girl acquiesced on the spot, and An Guogong Xu Heng laughed from ear to ear.

Under normal circumstances, most of the Jinshi must be at least 40 or [-] years old.

There are very few Jinshi in their 20s.

Scholars in their early twenties who have never been married at the same time are simply rare.

The Ming Dynasty produces a Jinshi every three years, and whether there can be such a young talent in a Jinshi is a big problem.

Once such a young talent really emerges, it will be over just waiting to be looted by important ministers and nobles.

That is to say, He Yi insisted not to get married easily, otherwise he would have been robbed hundreds of times.

The moment Lin Xiangyu proposed marriage for He Yi, Xu Heng was immediately overwhelmed, and instantly felt that his life had reached its peak: he was the Duke of the state, his granddaughter was the future queen, his son was the future head of state, and his son-in-law was the future king. The emperor's teacher and minister.

After 30 or [-] years, how glorious the Anguo Mansion will be!

Two years ago, he made a big bet on Xinjun, and now he has reaped unimaginable returns.

From Zhu Qiyu's point of view, Xu Heng and He Yi were completely bound to his chariot through marriage.And arranged a solid team for his eldest son.

But this is not the end, Zhu Qiyu will continue to increase the size later, binding more people into princelings.

Unlike other emperors, Zhu Qiyu was afraid that the future prince would seize power.Others want to be the emperor until their death, for fear that the crown prince will be full-fledged and rival the emperor, or even 'succeed in advance'.

But Zhu Qiyu didn't want to do it for a long time, and wished to hand over the throne to the next generation as soon as possible, and then enjoy himself happily.

Of course, these Empress Dowagers couldn't understand. The Empress Dowager Sun only knew that Zhu Qiyu was not cruel enough, so she foolishly gave the Supreme Emperor great freedom.

After all, the two generations of Xuanzong and Taishanghuang have been in business for more than 20 years. If the Taishanghuang can still participate in political affairs, it is not completely impossible for the two saints to become relatives in the end, or even to be restored by the Taishanghuang.

Chen Xun and the others saw that Sun Taihuang's face turned happy, and quickly explained the specific etiquette for welcoming the Taishang Emperor.

Empress Dowager Sun was even more delighted when she heard that the imperial court would welcome the Supreme Emperor back to Beijing with the highest standards, and that according to the previous agreement, Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji and Ningyang Hou Chen Mao would accompany and escort the whole process.

So far, the matter of welcoming the driver has been formally passed by Queen Mother Sun, and a complete conclusion has been formed.
