Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 34

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiangyu praised: "My lord, you are so wicked that you can give birth to forty or fifty sons, thanks to your thinking."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad, I will definitely let you give birth to the eldest son and the second son, and then let other women have children. Alright, hurry up and wait for me to go out, I have to go to the British government to cry. "

Lin Xiangyu heard this, and hurriedly waited on Zhu Qiyu to change into plain clothes, and arranged tea and dinner.

Half an hour later, Zhu Qiyu brought his personal guards to the British residence and ordered his servants to pass on the message.

The two brothers Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu hurriedly took Zhang Zhong, Zhang Mao and other family members, and opened the front door to welcome them.

Seeing the crowd coming out, Zhu Qiyu hurriedly greeted them with a sad face.Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu, Zhang Zhong, and Zhang Mao didn't wait for Zhu Qiyu to approach, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, calling their highness and crying bitterly.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Qiyu's eyes were also red, and tears rolled down his face. He hurriedly stepped forward to help everyone up, and then took Zhang Zhong's hand and cried: "The old Duke has been loyal and brave all his life, and has made great contributions to my Ming Dynasty. The national calamity really makes the widow feel heartbroken and unable to control herself, since then I have lost a pillar of my Ming Dynasty."

The more Zhu Qiyu talked, the more sad he became. His heart was really moved by grief, and he just dragged Zhang Zhong to cry endlessly.

Zhang Yu who was on the side had no choice but to persuade: "People cannot be resurrected after death. My brother can be mourned by His Royal Highness. The knowledge of Quan Xia is enough to comfort me. Please also mourn your Highness, don't cry and hurt your body, otherwise the ministers and family members will die, and it will be difficult to atone for their sins. "

After being persuaded by everyone, Zhu Qiyu stopped for a while.After being invited into the mansion, Zhu Qiyu went to the mourning hall first, and Zhu Qiyu knelt down and cried bitterly in front of Zhang Fuling.

Zhang Zhong and Zhang Mao knelt down to return the gift, and together with their uncles Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu invited Zhu Qiyu to the main hall to sit down and talk.

As the eldest member of the Zhang family, Zhang Min spoke first: "His Royal Highness, my brother's defeated general should not write a letter to ask for sympathy, it's just..."

Before Zhang Yu could finish speaking, Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and interrupted: "The defeat of Tumu Fortress was not a crime of war. It is really sad that many nobles were dragged down for no reason. I have already presented the Queen Mother, please posthumously The old Duke is the king of Dingxing County, and his posthumous title is Zhonglie. You will receive the decree in a day or two."

Zhang Yu hurriedly led everyone to kneel down to thank him, and then asked: "Dare to ask Your Highness about the matter of attacking the noble?"

Zhu Qiyu replied without hesitation: "Of course it is the eldest son Xijue."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhong burst into tears and knelt at Zhu Qiyu's feet, kowtowing uncontrollably.

It turns out that although Zhang Zhong is Zhang Fu's legitimate son, he is disabled.Zhang Zhong's son, Zhang Jie, was suspected of not being Zhang Zhong's own.So in history, Zhang Fu's second son Zhang Mao attacked the British Duke.

Regarding the internal struggles in the British government, Zhu Qiyu didn't understand, and didn't want to understand.But out of long-term considerations, Zhu Qiyu still chose to support the eldest son inheritance system.

Zhang Zhong originally thought that he would definitely lose the right of inheritance, but now Zhu Qiyu clearly supports Zhang Zhong's succession to the throne, how could Zhang Zhong not be grateful to Dade.

Zhu Qiyu helped Zhang Zhong up, and said to Zhang Wei and Zhang Fu: "The battle of Yanghe, the battle of Yaoerling, and the battle of Tumubao, after these three battles, more than ten people died for the country, and the army lost 50.

Now that the Oirat army is about to attack the capital, you have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the capital and set an example of honor.

Please also cheer up and fight against the powerful enemy together with the widows.At that time, they will be successful and famous, and the two will also have lords. "

Zhang Yu was a little surprised when he heard the words, and confirmed again and again: "Your Highness is saying that ministers and younger brothers can also be knighted?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "I hope that the two of you will be in charge of the Beijing camp, preserve the dominance of the Fifth Army's governor's office over the capital's soldiers and horses, and don't let all the military power fall into the hands of civil servants.

Otherwise, when Brother Huang comes back and finds that I have lost my home, how will I explain to Brother Huang? "

Hearing the words, Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu quickly knelt down again and replied loudly: "I will swear to defend the capital to the death."

"Good, good, good!"

Zhu Qiyu got up to help the two of them, and chatted with everyone for an hour, discussing the defense of the capital in detail.

Just as Zhu Qiyu was talking vigorously, a member of the Zhang family came in and replied: "Your Highness, there are people from the palace, please go to Benren Hall to discuss matters immediately."

Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to leave, got into the carriage, and entered the palace.

As soon as he entered the Benren Hall, he saw more than a dozen important officials in the hall, discussing a lot.Even the Empress Dowager Sun was sitting in the middle with a worried look on her face.

Zhu Qiyu hurried forward to salute.

When Empress Dowager Sun saw Zhu Qiyu, she snorted and said mockingly: "What's wrong with Prince Yi, his eyes are red from crying, who else in this capital dares to bully you, old man, please tell me quickly. "

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu sighed deeply, took out another question book from his pocket, put it on with both hands, and then replied:

"I just went to the British government, and I felt that the old country's father was going so bleakly, so I couldn't help crying for a while.

This is the inscription of the minister. Please posthumously confer the title of Duke of England as King of Dingxing County, bestow the posthumous posthumous title of Zhonglie, and let his son Zhang Zhong inherit the title.

Zhuo please posthumously confer the posthumous posthumous posthumous title on Zhu Yong, Duke of Cheng, as Prince of Pingyin, and his son Zhu Yi will inherit the title.

In addition, please give grace and bestowals to all the nobles who died in the country, so as to reassure people's hearts.I implore the queen mother to approve. "

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Sun took the title book, read it carefully, and then sighed: "The king is still more concerned about state affairs. This palace and all the important ministers have been thinking about defending the capital and rescuing the emperor these days, but they have ignored these martyrs. Honorable.

My son was captured only by this palace, but all the nobles were the pillars of the family.

It should be bestowed on the victims of the dead, so as to reassure people's hearts, just do as King Tan said. "

This is the second time that Empress Dowager Sun has bypassed the officials and directly approved King Tan's proposal.

The important ministers present just glanced at each other, and they all expressed their understanding.

Empress Dowager Sun suddenly had a feeling: This is actually quite good. King Tan suggested that he agree to it, and make a decision with one word without hindrance. This is much more refreshing than arguing with ministers.

Zhu Qiyu asked again: "The Empress Dowager urgently summons the ministers into the palace, what's the matter?"
