Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 40

After hearing the words, Empress Dowager Sun had no choice but to sit back and look at Zhu Qiyu quietly, wondering what the hell this ridiculous prince was going to do.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "It's nothing serious, I just want to ask for the grace of the Empress Dowager, to allow my mother and concubine to go out of the palace to live with me as the princess of Qi Wang, and I also ask the Empress Dowager for mercy."

Empress Dowager Sun was speechless after hearing this, and couldn't help complaining: "Zhu Qiyu, are you in a daze, aren't you, you won't give up until you understand your Prince Qi's mansion, right?

What time is it, you are still in the mood, Qi Wang this, Qi Wang that all day, you haven't finished yet, have you? "

After Zhu Qiyu was reprimanded, he still smiled shyly and said: "General Wang Jian of the Qin State said that if you don't pay attention now, you will not come in the future. I have to take advantage of the fact that the Queen Mother still needs me, and take advantage of my family in the Qi Palace. It's all ready."

The Empress Dowager Sun was so angry that she waved her hand: "Yes, yes, don't you still want to have two princes, don't you still want to make a woman picked up from outside to be the princess of Qi? Yes, yes, yes.

Go and discuss with Chen Xun about drafting a decree. If you want anything else, you can write it down together. Don't come back to me one by one. "

Zhu Qiyu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly bowed his head to thank him, expressing that he would smash himself to pieces in order to repay the Queen Mother's great kindness.

Empress Dowager Sun snorted coldly, then shook her hands and left.

Zhu Qiyu excitedly pulled Chen Xun to draft the decree, but the ministers gathered around to complain.

Chen Xun took the lead in complaining: "Your Highness, how can you do this in the face of a national crisis. You should do your part and stand up to shoulder the heavy responsibility. How can you think about the little things in the palace every day?"

Zhu Qiyu asked back: "Then how can you do this? Most of you are important ministers promoted by my father, shouldn't you be loyal to my father?
As one of my father's only two sons, it's fine if you ministers don't protect me, and you dig holes and lay mines to kill me. Is this how you repay my father's kindness? "

Chen Xun retorted: "Your Highness, why did you say that? Did you not want your Highness to die?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered and said: "I won't talk about how dangerous it is to deal with it first. If you openly force the palace and coerce the queen mother to make me emperor, what if the queen mother cuts me off in a fit of anger? How dare you say you didn't want me to die .”

Seeing that such a big hat had been buckled down, all the ministers could only kneel down and defend themselves: "Your Highness, please speak carefully, I have no intention of forcing the palace, let alone the idea of ​​harming Your Highness. The ministers are purely for the safety of the country and the country. , there is absolutely no personal plan.”

"Okay, don't accuse Sang and scold Huai, I just have a personal plan, what's wrong. Mr. Chen Ge, please hurry up and draw up an order for me, and it will be officially issued tomorrow, and the edict will be announced to the world."

A group of ministers saw that Zhu Qiyu was playing with hob meat, so they stopped talking.After all, everyone didn't expect it, and the queen mother agreed to make Zhu Qiyu the new king with one request.

And Zhu Qiyu tried his best to refuse, which is a normal reaction that should have been. It would be strange if he directly agreed.For acting, you have to do a full set.

Tomorrow's play, let's talk about it tomorrow.Anyway, today's play is over, not long after, Yu Qian, Wang Wen, Gao Gu and other ministers also relaxed. Seeing that Chen Xun started to draft an order for Zhu Qiyu, they all surrounded Zhu Qiyu and Chen Xun in a serious manner, helping to compose words and sentences.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu hurriedly cupped his hands and thanked him: "You have to work, you are all well-educated scholars, please think of more good words for my Princess Qi, so that I can go back to the majestic and majestic, so that I can live a tough life at home. "

Wang Wen hurriedly answered: "Since this is the case, His Highness can't just let His Highness take the credit alone. When His Highness returns, he should also show the merits of his courtiers to Princess Qi. If it's not a national disaster, then let Princess Qi give the ministers a banquet." Thank you, it is also possible.”

Zhu Qiyu heard the words and immediately made a decision: "Okay, I will make the decision now. When the spring is warm and the flowers bloom next year, my princess and I will have a banquet in my Taoyuan, and invite everyone to enjoy the flowers. How about letting my princess personally compose a poem to thank you? "

"That's a good relationship. I will thank you in advance. Your Highness will not allow you to be lazy."

Zhu Qiyu and a group of ministers laughed a lot, everyone talked to each other, and directed Chen Xun to draw up an order, and then they dispersed and went home.

When Zhu Qiyu returned home happily, it was already dark.

This time, as soon as she entered the backyard, Lin Xiangyu took her maid to pick her up.

Seeing Zhu Qiyu's face full of spring breeze, Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "What is so happy, His Highness's face is full of happiness?"

Zhu Qiyu picked up Lin Xiangyu horizontally, walked into the bathroom, and said with a smile: "It's done, it's all done. When the imperial decree comes down tomorrow, you will be officially Princess Qi."

"The ministers agreed in this way?"

"That's right, the ministers also helped me think of a lot of good words for you. I also promised to hold a banquet in person to thank them next year when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom."

Lin Xiangyu still didn't believe it: "It's that simple? The ministers are too easy to talk to."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Today, the ministers have already asked me to be made emperor in front of the Queen Mother, and they have respected the emperor brother as the Supreme Emperor. You think it has come to this point, and the ministers are still going to offend me for the matter of setting up a concubine.

In addition, during the period of defending the capital, they also agreed to temporarily use the Yingzhou Guard as the personal guard of the King of Qi.

Let the mother and concubine live in the palace as the princess of Qi, and the queen mother agreed in person. "

Lin Xiangyu praised with a full face of admiration: "Your Highness is really capable, just like this, you actually let His Highness get things done."

Zhu Qiyu said modestly: "It's not that I'm good, but that my father only has two sons. If there were more, the queen mother would not allow me to ask for prices, and kicked me back to grandma's house."

Lin Xiangyu listened to Zhu Qiyu's ear, and said with a soft smile, "Xuanmiao only has two sons, maybe it's the Empress Dowager Sun's own choice?"

Zhu Qiyu laughed softly and said: "Princess Shengming, that's exactly the case. The cruelty of the struggle in the harem is really shocking. It's not something good people like us can play around with. Let's take a good bath.

Tomorrow morning, I will continue to go to Xungui's house to cry and sacrifice. In the afternoon, I will receive the imperial decree. The day after tomorrow, we will go to the palace to thank each other, and then return the Queen Mother's favor by the way. "

Lin Xiangyu teased after hearing the words: "Why is Your Highness still crying endlessly? How many families have died in this?"

Zhu Qiyu sighed, and replied helplessly: "Not counting those who have already cried, there seem to be seventeen families left. If you are willing to listen, I will read the list to you: Gongshunhou Wu Kezhong, Wu Jinbo Zhu Mian, Yongshunbo Xue Shou, Prince Consort Duwei Jingyuan, Uncle Pingxiang Chen Huai, Uncle Xiangcheng Li Zhen, Uncle Suian Chen Xun, Uncle Xiuwu Shen Rong.

Wang Zuo, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Kuang Ye, Minister of the Ministry of War, Cao Nai and Zhang Yi, Minister of the Cabinet.Governor Liang Cheng and Wang Gui.

Ding Xuan, the minister of punishment, Wang Yonghe, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Deng Xi, the deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. "

Lin Xiangyu was dumbfounded: "Why are there so many people?"

"What do you think, the most elite Jingying soldiers and Shaanxi-Gansu soldiers of Ming Dynasty were dispatched from 15 to [-] soldiers by Uncle Jingyuan and Marquis Ningyang, and brought them to the south to suppress the rebellion.

Of the remaining elite remaining in the north, [-] died in the battle of Yanghekou last month; [-] died in the battle of Yaoerling this month.

The rest of them died in the civil fort half a month ago.So far, there is no elite Ming army in the north, and the nobles in the north are almost dead.

It's such a mess, if Yexian really still has [-] cavalry in hand, then we can clean up and prepare to hang ourselves. "

Lin Xiangyu's expression changed due to being bluffed, but Zhu Qiyu waved his hands, smiled and said comfortingly: "I'm just talking casually, if there were really [-] cavalry, they would have already arrived at the city of Beijing by now.

The cause of the whole incident was that the gang of senior men in the Ministry of War commanded blindly, and blindly urged Xining Hou and others to fight when the information was wrong. As a result, [-] troops were buried in Yanghekou, which eventually triggered the emperor's brother's personal conquest.

The mediocre ministers have harmed the country, and sooner or later I will liquidate the gang of the Ministry of War. "

After Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, he shook his head again and denied his own statement: "No, no, no, brother Huang will settle accounts with the gang of the Ministry of War sooner or later. I can't just let me do things that offend people. I will do it from now on. In the future, I must change my mind and be a good person, a kind-hearted but ridiculous prince."

Lin Xiangyu laughed and said, "Prince Absurd, where do you plan to build our new palace?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I've already thought about this, let's go, let's go to bed first, and I'll talk to you slowly after making out."
