Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 367 Different Prospects
Empress Qian had full confidence in sending these concubines away, but now Zhu Qizhen poured cold water on her head, and she instantly regained consciousness.

After a woman gets married, she must regard her husband as the sky, let alone her husband is the emperor.

Now Zhu Qizhen is determined to keep these sixteen concubines, and Empress Qian has no way to change this decision.

And according to the law of etiquette, concubines can indeed be given away.

Zhu Qizhen saw that Queen Qian was frowning and did not speak, so he continued to order: "You pay more attention to Jianshen on weekdays, although I don't like him, and I don't want to make him the crown prince.

But now the done deal, you and I have to accept this reality.

Even if you give birth to a son in the future, it is impossible for the court to change your son into a prince.

If Jianshen died early, or made a mistake and was abolished, the one who succeeds him as the crown prince can only be his younger brother's son. You must understand this. "

Hearing this, Empress Qian's tears almost fell down.This is really humiliating. I am obviously the wife of the first wife, but even if I give birth to a son of the first wife, I still have to give way to the concubine's son.

That's not what it said in "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", why did things develop to this situation today.

Empress Qian glanced at Zhu Qizhen quietly, complaining in her heart: the queen mother was also born as a concubine, and her husband was also a concubine when he was born.Now they all claim to be the main lineage.

If Zhu Jianshen becomes the emperor in the future, he will consider himself orthodox in a short time.

But obviously she is the first wife.I can finally empathize with Queen Hu's pain back then.Empress Hu still has the adoptive name of the current emperor behind her, continuing the incense for her.If I have no children after my death, I am afraid I will not be as good as Queen Hu.

Zhu Qizhen knew that Queen Qian was definitely unwilling, but he didn't notice the change in Queen Qian's inner thoughts.

I didn't even notice that now it has become a situation where both Empress Qian and Empress Zhou are asking Zhu Qiyu.

Zhou's empress status did not come from Empress Dowager Sun, nor did she come from Zhu Qizhen.According to the law of etiquette, even if his own son became the prince, the queen's position still only belonged to the emperor's wife and the prince's mother, Empress Qian.

It was Zhu Qiyu who took advantage of the chaos at the beginning of the Tumubao change, everyone was busy resisting Oala, no one was too entangled in these details, and took the opportunity to promote the Zhou family to be the queen in the name of mother and son.

Empress Dowager Sun, Zhu Qizhen, and even most civil and military officials were unwilling to recognize Empress Zhou from the bottom of their hearts.It was only because of the crown prince that he could not bear to speak.

After all, the position of the prince Zhu Jianshen was already very embarrassing, and to attack the status of his biological mother was because he was afraid that the emperor would not change the prince.

So now the Zhou family can only choose to continue to stay close to the emperor, in order to have a satisfactory ending in the future.

The Qian family needs to rely on the emperor because Zhu Qiyu is engaged in a dispute between the concubine and the concubine. Contrary to the common people's perception: Zhu Qiyu is also firmly supporting the law of etiquette and the system of heirs.

After lunch, Zhu Qizhen summoned Jin Ying, Xing'an, Chen Xiang, and Cao Jixiang, and led a few people around the Nangong Palace to make a new arrangement.

Zhu Qizhen found that if the facts were as his younger brother said, he could call in his cronies, and he could arrange them in the Nangong at will.So he felt at ease, and started to have fun with the concubines in the Nangong with peace of mind.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhu Qizhen got up early, took Empress Qian, accompanied by Xing'an, Jin Ying and others, out of Nangong, entered Donghua Gate, passed Wenhua Hall and the cabinet area, and went to Yinghua Hall to greet Queen Mother Sun .

The trip went smoothly, and Zhu Qizhen finally confirmed that he could indeed move freely in the imperial city.His younger brother is really big enough.

In fact, Zhu Qizhen didn't quite understand his younger brother's strategy.

The strategy Zhu Qiyu chose was to confine the Empress Dowager Sun and let Zhu Qizhen go, so as to facilitate future actions.

……

But it was almost noon when Zhu Qiyu dressed leisurely and came to Qingyun Pavilion to listen to the government.

Since he just rushed back home yesterday evening, and had tossed with the two concubines several times along the way, Zhu Qiyu had nothing to say, but just leaned on the soft couch and listened to the ministers' speeches.

The first court meeting after the emperor was respectfully allowed to return to Beijing and formally abdicated, people came very neatly.

Zhu Qiyu wanted to laugh when he saw the ministers. There were four military ministers in front of him, which was really weird.

However, what Zhu Qiyu didn't expect was that the first thing in the opening was Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War of Nanjing, knelt down to plead guilty, and submitted his resignation letter, requesting to return to his hometown.

Before Zhu Qiyu had time to react, Wang Wen, Jiang Yuan and the others looked at each other deeply, quite surprised in their hearts: No wonder the emperor refused to hand over the "good job" to reprimand Yexian to his cronies, Everyone thought it was a "beautiful job", but Yu Qian was talking on the stage, and the Oirat mission directly rioted under the stage.

Not to mention the death and injury of two thousand Jinyiwei, four ministers died: Hu Wei, Chen Yi, Li Xian, and Li Shi.This responsibility is not insignificant.

Zhu Qiyu was quite responsible, ordered Chen Xun and Wang Wen to help Yu Qian get up, and then explained to everyone with a sad face: "The riot of the Wala Mission was unexpected by everyone. Such a disaster happened, did it happen?" Anyone who wants to see it. This cannot be blamed on Aiqing or Jin Yiwei.

If there is something wrong, it is because I didn't think carefully.I originally wanted to order Boyan Timur to lead a mission to Beijing to officially restore the tribute, so as to establish the grassland pattern of Boyan Timur, Tuotuobuhua, and Ala three kings.

Who would have thought that these Oirats were so barbaric that they would really dare to use weapons in front of the Son of Heaven.

Poor old Shangshu Hu, it is all my fault that he ended up like this. Let the cabinet draw up an edict. I want to issue another edict of guilt. "

When everyone heard the words, they immediately knelt down again, and Chen Xun advised them on behalf of everyone: "Everything His Majesty has done is for the revival of Ming Dynasty, so there is nothing wrong with it.

If your Majesty issues an edict to sin against himself again, He An, civil and military officials, and He An, the subjects of the world, please do not say such words again. "

All the people also echoed together, admonishing in unison.

All the cronies of the emperor could no longer accept the emperor's edict to sin against him.

The emperor has already issued an edict of sin twice before, and now he is coming again, so what is the majesty of the emperor.

Governing the country is not just a joke, how can it be possible to say that you have sinned against yourself and you have sinned against yourself.

Zhu Qiyu didn't really want to issue an edict of guilt, but just wanted to find a way for everyone.

Now that there are steps, Zhu Qiyu no longer insists on it, and orders Hu Wei and others to be granted generously, and the matter is over.

Next, the monarchs and ministers took advantage of the situation to discuss the distribution of powers and responsibilities of the Ministry of War.

Now there are four Ministers of the Ministry of War: Wang Ji and Luo Tong, Ministers of the Ministry of War, and Yu Qian and Xu Qi, Ministers of the Ministry of War of Nanjing.

Among them, Luo Tong is a confidant of the emperor; Wang Ji is a confidant of the emperor, but he has shown his favor to the emperor many times, basically he is back in line.

Yu Qian and Xu Qi belonged to Xuanzong veterans.

Except for Xu Qi among the four, the remaining three have a lot of trouble with each other.

To be honest, Zhu Qiyu didn't want to forcibly assign power and responsibility to the four to avoid making the scene too embarrassing.

How should the matter be resolved?
