Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 35

Empress Dowager Sun rubbed her forehead and sighed, and replied weakly: "Hey, let Shangshu tell you."

Hearing this, Yu Qian hurriedly said to Zhu Qiyu: "His Royal Highness, Datong guard Guo Deng reported back to the army, and first took His Majesty hostage and came to the city of Datong.

His Majesty sent Jin Yiwei Yuan Bin to enter the city with his driving license, and Liu An, the uncle of Guangning, came to see him and confirmed that His Majesty was well.Then Guo Deng led officials of all sizes to meet.

His Majesty ordered Guo Deng to take 2000 taels of silver and give it to Yexian and others.After receiving the gift, the thief took His Majesty away. "

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu hurriedly asked: "How is the emperor? Are you injured? Does Guo Deng have any clothes, food, and supplies? Is there someone waiting for the emperor?"

Yu Qian had no choice but to reply: "Your Majesty is not injured, and the dragon's body is also very healthy. When I met Guo Deng and others, I talked and laughed freely, with a resolute look. Guo Deng offered food, clothing, melons and fruits and other things."

Zhu Qiyu saw Yu Qian's reluctance, but he didn't care.

As for Yexian, I don't know what he was thinking, so he hurried through the Bauhinia Pass and entered, what was he doing in Shanxi.Just waiting for Daming's King Qin's army to enter the capital like this, Zhu Qiyu was anxious for him.

Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was silent, Empress Dowager Sun hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, now that you know where your brother is, what should you do next?"

When Zhu Qiyu heard the words, he replied: "The minister is concerned about the safety of the emperor, and his heart is in a state of confusion for a while. I'd like to ask some important ministers to talk about it first."

Zhu Qiyu chose to let the ministers speak first, otherwise the Empress Dowager Sun must have directly approved it when he opened his mouth.If the ministers are passed every time, will these important ministers be happy?

Chen Xunxian said: "My minister thought that my Ming forces in Shanxi had already been wiped out by Oirat. Now it is extremely difficult to launch an attack on Oirat and rescue Your Majesty.

On the other hand, Wala can hold His Majesty hostage and wander among the cities in Shanxi, asking for the opening of the city and asking for rewards.When the time comes, how will the city guards respond?

Not agreeing to Wala's request is to offend His Majesty and disobey the will.If he agrees to Wala's request, then Wala will make every inch of his fortune and demand endlessly.They even occupied Guancheng and looted wantonly.

From the point of view of my ministers, the country should not be without a king for a day, and it is advisable to establish a new king as soon as possible, respecting your majesty as the supreme emperor, so as to calm the hearts of the subjects of the world, and to cut off the hope of Vala.Please be enlightened by the Queen Mother. "

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face immediately changed.After a long while, he asked back: "Does it have to be like this?"

Chen Xun replied: "I can't think of a better way. I can ask other ministers to discuss it. Maybe there is a better way."

Empress Dowager Sun asked others again, but both Hu Wei and Wang Zhi shook their heads and remained silent.

Only Yu Qian replied: "It's okay that Wala is only in Shanxi. If you attack Juyongguan, His Majesty will order the guard to switch at that time. May I ask the Queen Mother, will the guard be on or off at that time?"
If it is switched on, the Oirat army will go to the city of the capital that day; if it is not switched on, it will be the guard resisting the decree. How will the guard deal with it?

The matter has come to this point, there is absolutely no reason, please make a quick decision. "

Empress Dowager Sun turned to Zhu Qiyu and asked, "King Yi, what do you think?"

Zhu Qiyu replied: "Oira will definitely hit the city of Beijing, but as long as we can defeat Oirat under the city of Beijing, we can force Ye to negotiate peace first and release him to the emperor.

Therefore, I thought that Zhu Jianshen, the eldest son of the emperor, could be established as the crown prince first, so as to reassure the hearts of the subjects in the world.

Then, according to the Queen Mother Yi's order, the generals at the border gates were ordered to allow them not to obey the imperial brother's order for the time being before Wala retreated.

In this way, you can get the best of both worlds. "

When the Empress Dowager Sun heard the words, her expression turned pale, and she directly approved Zhu Qiyu's memorial request even though she bypassed the ministers again:
"Everything should be done according to the words of the king. Zhu Jianshen, the eldest son of the emperor's concubine, will be the crown prince. Pass on the decree of the palace, so that the soldiers at the border do not have to obey the emperor's decree for the time being. If the emperor comes to the city, the guards only need to donate food and clothing, and cannot open the city. , no need to pay money.

In addition, the cabinet drafted a decree, and the Jin Dynasty named the King of Qi as the King of Qi, and ordered the civil and military officials to follow the orders of the King Qi, and not to be lazy. "

When Zhu Qiyu heard the words, he immediately knelt down to thank him, leaving only the ministers to look at each other.

The dozen or so ministers present looked at me, I looked at you, and didn't know what to say: the prince of my country has been talking about it lately, doing some deviant and absurd things at every turn.

Forget it, but now the queen mother is also infected.

The good Empress Dowager Sun also started to go crazy with King Tan.It really promoted the title of king to King Ying. Of these two people, one really dared to make a request, and the other really dared to agree.

The most annoying thing is that the ministers have not been able to object.Zhu Jianshen is the eldest son of a concubine, and now that the country is facing a crisis, he has been established as a prince to calm people's hearts. It makes sense from both a rational and a legal point of view, and the ministers don't know how to refute it.

The promotion of the king's title was a deal made between the Queen Mother Sun and the king: the king supported Zhu Jianshen as the prince, and stabilized the succession of the throne of Zhu Qizhen.In return, Empress Dowager Sun fulfilled Zhu Qiyu's wish to be the real prince, and appointed Zhu Qiyu as the real supervisor of the country with real power.

And for Empress Dowager Sun, Zhu Qiyu's tireless pursuit of being promoted to the title of king, and then riding a thin horse and grabbing family property, just shows that Zhu Qiyu has no interest in the throne, isn't it good.

So in this short meeting today, Empress Dowager Sun, Zhu Qiyu and Xungui all got what they wanted, and only the world where civil servants were injured was successfully achieved.

Seeing that there was no objection, the Empress Dowager Sun ordered her ministers to obey King Qi's orders and went back to the palace to rest.

Zhu Qiyu saw that Queen Mother Sun had left, and he didn't want to stay any longer, so he turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the ministers one after another.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu asked dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing again? I don't even understand the affairs of the government, so you can just do what you see."

Chen Xun replied: "His Royal Highness King Qi, you are our backbone, even if you just sit here without doing anything, we will feel at ease."

Zhu Qiyuyang said: "Mr. Chen Ge, I am too tired today, please let me go back to rest first. Tomorrow I have to go to the homes of Cheng Guogong, Xininghou, and Taininghou to cry and sacrifice. Today I have to go back early to rest .

In addition, when you drafted the decree, you only said that Jin would make me the king of Qi. As for the position of the princess and the son, I have other arrangements.It turned out that all the titles and positions of the people in the Palace of Prince Tan remained unchanged, and the entire Palace of Prince Tan remained unchanged. "

Chen Xun asked curiously, "How is this possible?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, there will be a second decree later."

Chen Xun reluctantly agreed.

Zhu Qiyu is not worried, anyway, all the imperial decrees have to be read by themselves, and they can only be officially issued after they agree.If the imperial decree written by Chen Xun is not to his liking, he can just call back and rewrite it.

After sending Chen Xun away, before taking two steps, Zhu Qiyu was caught by Yu Qian again.Zhu Qiyu was a little impatient: "Is there anything else you need to do about Yu Shangshu? Is there really something you must tell me? You can discuss it."

Yu Qian hurriedly replied: "The nearest King Qin's army is about to arrive. How to deploy defenses requires His Highness's approval. I thought that the army should go out of the city and set up camp with their backs against the city gate to block the Oala army from the city wall. I don't know what His Highness thinks." how?"
