Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 395 Rumors of dethroning the prince spread all over the world
But he said that Zhu Qiyu hadn't been in charge of politics that day, and was just enjoying the flowers and scenery with his concubines at home, and was at ease.

Zhu Qiyu deliberately let the situation continue to ferment.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Qiyu dressed neatly and came to the Feng Pavilion. First, he looked through the notebooks accumulated in the past two days, and then asked Wang Yue and others:

"What's the big deal these two days?"

Wang Yue could only reply with a frown: "Your Majesty, there are a lot of things."

"It's okay, don't worry, just tell me one by one."

"Late at night the day before yesterday, the old Wang Ge ordered people to urgently send more than 100 memorabilia to Fengge, among which more than a dozen new scholars were sarcasm to His Majesty.

Yesterday, the Li Supervisor reported that both the Emperor Gongrang and the Crown Prince had recovered.

Yesterday, Li Ke gave some advice on the matter, asking His Majesty to call the vassal princes from all over the country to Beijing to pay homage to the emperor.

In addition, the soldiers and horses of the five cities and Jin Yiwei reported separately, and there were rumors in the capital that His Majesty intended to depose the crown prince and make his own son the heir apparent. "

"Hmph, I don't know whether to live or die!"

Zhu Qiyu cursed, then asked coldly: "Where are the cabinet ministers?"

Wang Yue hurried back: "The elders of the pavilion are already waiting in Qingyun Pavilion, and the two ministers of the Nanjing Military Department are also there."

Zhu Qiyu frowned when he heard that, "These two ministers of the Nanjing Military Department are still going on, are they going to force me to govern Shanxi poorly?"

Wang Yue and the others dared not answer.

"You give me a separate list of these new scholars who have been admonished in the playbook, and then I will no longer interview these people in person.

In addition, another decree was sent to the supervisor of rites to reward Cao Jixiang with a hundred liang of silver and ten pieces of brocade for his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion in the southeast.

Gao Ping, the Chief Eunuch of the Hall of Yinghua, made great contributions to rescuing the Empress Dowager during the fire in the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Then give the crown prince a jade handle, give the empress of Zhou a thousand taels of silver, and a hundred pieces of brocade.

Give the queen a thousand taels of silver and a hundred pieces of brocade.

All the emperor's concubines were bestowed with one hundred taels of silver and ten pieces of brocade. "

It's really hard for Wang Yue to memorize such a long passage verbatim in his heart.

Then Zhu Qiyu pointed at Gao Yao: "You continue to deal with these memorials, Ting Jian will follow me."

Zhu Qiyu acted willfully and brought Gao Yao to Qingyun Pavilion.

It's because Gao Yao is the only Jingtai loyal minister after the end of the Seizing the Gate in history.So I don't care about others, but I will take Gao Yao straight to the sky, soar to prosperity.

Going up to the third floor, Zhu Qiyu leaned on the soft couch, and Gao Yao stood aside.

After Chen Xun, Wang Wen and others saluted, they were given seats.

Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with Wang Wen's performance. It was Wang Wen who sent the memorial to the Qi Palace immediately, preventing the Xinke Scholars from withdrawing the memorial.

This is a very clear statement.

As for the others, it's just about the same.

Zhu Qiyu glanced around, and asked quietly: "Which one of you will play first?"

The ministers looked at each other for a while, and finally Yu Shiyue, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, rumors began to spread in the market yesterday, saying that Your Majesty intends to depose the crown prince and establish his own son instead.

The minister thought that this matter must be resolved quickly, and an explanation was given to the government and the opposition.If public opinion is allowed to ferment, it may cause panic in the ruling and opposition parties. "

Zhu Qiyu sighed heavily, the others were fine, but he promoted Yu Shiyue himself, which seemed a bit sloppy.

Apart from being promoted to Shangshu by others, I am neither old nor old, nor have I received any kindness.

And with his qualifications, he could almost be promoted to a scholar, so he wouldn't be so grateful.

The key point is the change of Tumubao. A large number of civil servants also died. Now it is quite difficult to find two or three people to take over as Shangshu.

Those who are trusted and capable like Xu Youzhen and Huang Pu are obviously not qualified enough to be a minister.

Those ministers who are completely neutral and have qualifications seem to be very rare.

Yu Shiyue waited for the emperor to give a reply. After waiting for a while, the emperor sighed and shook his head again.

This reaction made people a little at a loss. The emperor's attitude was so ambiguous, didn't he acquiesce that he wanted to depose the prince?
In desperation, Yu Shiyue coughed twice.

Only then did Zhu Qiyu come back to his senses, and asked Yu Shiyue: "Tell me, Yu Aiqing, should you change Prince Yi?"

Yu Shiyue was stunned by the emperor's sudden question.

How could such a question be asked so bluntly?

Yu Shiyue also sighed deeply, before replying: "Your Majesty, the crown prince's name has been decided, and the people's will, how can it be changed?

Besides, the prince was canonized by the empress dowager, and His Majesty was enthroned only by the empress dowager's order.

His Majesty let the emperor rule the world on his behalf, and pass it on to the crown prince in the future. This is also the consensus reached before the succession. "

Zhu Qiyu smiled and nodded: "Shan, I'm just testing Aiqing's loyalty. Now that I see Yu Aiqing is so loyal to Xuanmiao, so loyal to my elder brother, I feel relieved.

As for the rumors in Beijing, those who are clear will be clear by themselves, and those who are turbid will be turbid. After a long time, the rumors will be destroyed without attack.

The cabinet and the Ministry of Rites don't need to take care of this matter, I will hand it over to Jin Yiwei. "

Everyone was silent, Yu Shiyue saw that there was no support, so he had no choice but to agree.

Zhu Qiyu turned to Yu Qian and said with a smile, "Yu Aiqing knows about Ji Guang, right?"

Yu Qian replied: "I know, Ji Guang was promoted by Wang Zhen, and now he is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Since you don't want to leave Beijing, then go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate the case with Wang Aiqing. Back then you were the right servant of the Ministry of War and also the governor of Shanxi, and Ji Guang was the deputy general of Xuanfu.

Ji Guang can be regarded as your old subordinate. You know him well, so it is easier to check.

The collusion between Ji Guang and Wala must be thoroughly investigated.Let's see who is Ji Guang's internal response besides Wang Zhen in the court.

There is one, count as one, all eradicated, there is no mercy. "

Now that no one can refute the emperor on this kind of matter, Yu Qian had no choice but to bow his head and take orders, and he can stay in Beijing openly for the time being.

As an emperor, it's impossible to do everything with just one swipe.In many cases, it is also adjusting the strategy bit by bit.

Now Zhu Qiyu is also thinking about it, first let Fang Ying go to Huguang to form a mountain camp, and order Baoding Bo Liang Ping to be the commander-in-chief. He will lead 3 people in the Nanjing Jingying Camp to cooperate with Fang Ying to eliminate the Miao people who rebelled.

As for the civil servants who are counselors for military affairs, Bai Gui, governor of Huguang, is very reliable.In the future, we only need to send another eunuch to supervise the army.

Yu Qian and Zhu Yi can be sent there after they are almost ready.Yu Qian's 19 years of experience as a governor in Shanxi has long proved that he is really not very interested in running the army and fighting wars.

As for Cheng Guogong Zhu Yi, he is Hu Wei's son-in-law.He was still not sure what to think about Hu Wei's death.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu looked at Gao Yao: "Ting Jian, who are the new Jinshi who wrote the letter to remonstrate this time, please report to everyone.

Explain their names, places of origin, and rankings one by one. "

Hearing this, Gao Yao secretly rejoiced: I am good at strategy theory, but when it comes to the talent of memorizing Bowen, I really don't have a good memory.

How could it be possible to memorize the names, native places, and rankings of more than forty Jinshi without special preparation.

Fortunately, I have a good fellow countryman and a good teacher.Under He Yi's special reminder, he really memorized them one by one.

Thus, Gao Yao, with a genius attitude, stated the names, hometowns, and rankings of more than 40 people one by one.

After He Yi made a special point and made a special arrangement, everyone could tell that something was wrong.

There are more than 20 new scholars in a row, all of whom are natives of Jiangxi, and half of them are from Ji'an, Jiangxi.

At this level, the fool also knows that there is a problem.
