Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 417 Gong let the emperor be shocked by the rumors that the queen mother took the son of the palace man
Qian Xue said with a smile: "My husband's guess can only be said to be a bit detached."

"A little bit off?"

"Well, the civil and military officials didn't say they want to abolish the emperor, but they asked to send all the favorite concubines around the emperor to the clothes bureau."

"what?"

When Zhu Qiyu heard the words, he couldn't believe his ears. There are really people who hate life in this world.And there are so many people popping up all of a sudden, are they really sure that the law does not blame the public?

Picking up the top notebook and flipping through it, Zhu Qiyu's brows almost wrinkled together.

This memorial was written by Zou Gan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and it was even worse than last time.

Last time it was only required to be drafted and become a queen, but this time, there is a draft, a queen, and a concubine. She must also be virtuous and virtuous, and abide by etiquette.

This is not over yet, and the current favorite concubines will be relegated to court ladies for the crime of seductively seducing the Lord and damaging the dragon's body, and sent to the clothes bureau to do hard work.

Zhu Qiyu threw the playbook on the ground and snorted coldly.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qiyu saw a miraculous scene that he would never forget: three women, Qianxue, Suxi, and Ningxiang, burst into tears at the same time.After a while, it turned into a small sob again.

Women are made of water, Zhu Qiyu has seen it today.

The three little girls were full of grievances, and tried their best not to cry out. Their sobbing expressions made Zhu Qiyu's heart ache even more.

Lin Xiangyu hugged Qianxue into her arms to comfort her, while Zhu Qiyu sat down, pulling Ningxiang and Suxi to sit on her lap, and then cursed bitterly:

"These bastards, just wait for me to give them a big surprise. When the time comes, they will have no place to cry. If you dare to make my favorite concubine sad, and don't make them submissive, I will be considered the emperor in vain."

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "What a big surprise, my husband can't kill them, right?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and gave a four-word reply:

"Murder and murder!"

"Punish the heart even if you kill someone? How do you do it?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "You just wait and see, at most ten months, I will abolish Sun's empress dowager. If they dare to abolish my beloved concubine, I will dare to abolish their empress dowager.

At that time, they will find out that my concubine is still fine, but their queen mother has disappeared.

You just say that surprises are not surprises, accidents are not surprises, right? "

There was only a puff, but before Lin Xiangyu said anything, Ning Xiang had already burst into tears.

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "What is Aifei laughing at? Are you making fun of me for being too whimsical?"

Ning Xiang was sobbing, and smiled coquettishly: "No, my husband abolished the Queen Mother and vented his anger on us. My family is very happy."

After all, Ning Xiang kissed Zhu Qiyu heavily on the lips.

"Silly girl, abolishing the Empress Dowager is such a big deal, just as soon as I say it, do you believe that I can do it?"

Ningxiang replied with a serious face: "My husband has never lied to us, and he has never lied to us. So what my husband says, I believe it."

These words made Zhu Qiyu feel very happy, he couldn't help nodding, and told the favorite concubines: "Call your mother and concubine, and meet the generals of Yingzhou Wei and Tian Cewei together. Then open our treasury and reward the two guards with an extra year of military pay."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Qiyu added: "You have to do a full set of acting, you have to make a gesture that I can't see things, and you will come forward to appease the soldiers of the army.

However, do not explicitly say that I am seriously ill.

We can't lie to others, anyway, we only say that I am sick and have to rest for a month.

The civil and military officials themselves have misunderstood and over-associated, so no wonder I am.

A group of ministers, if they look forward to the emperor's death every day, they will be completely hopeless. "

The four favored concubines were speechless when they heard the words. The one-year military salary for two personal guards would cost several 10 taels of silver. This drama is really willing to spend the money.

However, the four favored concubines are all people who regard their husbands as the heavens. Whatever Zhu Qiyu orders, the four will firmly carry out.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, all the playbooks were sent back to the cabinet intact.

In the afternoon, the concubine took Lin Xiangyu, Qianxue, and Suxi together to meet Fengtian Dusi, and the generals under the jurisdiction of Yingzhouwei and Tiancewei.

The futures of Zhao Xuan, Gu Cong, Liu Chang and others are all tied to Zhu Qiyu.If Zhu Qiyu falls, the best outcome for these people is to return to Baoding, change the capital of Fengtian back to the capital of Daning, and continue to sit on the bench.

If you respectfully allow the emperor to restore the throne, if you are more careful, whether everyone can keep their heads will be a problem.

So Zhao Xuan and others accepted the imperial concubine's order, thanked the emperor for the reward, and went back to camp.

According to the concubine's arrangement, the Tiance guards in the city were loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and on the surface everything was as usual.

The Yingzhou Guard in the western suburbs put the entire Qi Palace under martial law.Idlers and others are not allowed to come within three miles of Qi Wangfu.

Around Prince Qi's Mansion, there are fertile fields in the west of Beijing that have been replaced under the name of the Prince's Mansion.As for the tenants who leased and planted these fertile lands, the royal residence exempted them from rent for three years, which was very popular among the people.Therefore, martial law is not very difficult. As long as there are strangers approaching, the tenants will rush to report and receive rewards.

Coupled with the fact that Yingzhou guards patrolled back and forth, it completely cut off the prying eyes of the government and the public.

Before dark, the news spread throughout the ruling and opposition parties.

For Emperor Gongrang, Empress Dowager Sun, and all the civil and military officials, it was as difficult as climbing the sky to know the real situation of the emperor.

First of all, it is impossible to get close to Prince Qi's mansion secretly.

Secondly, if there is official business, the only ones who can swagger in are the servants who deliver the memorials; there are also close officials of the emperor such as He Yi and Lian Gang.

Finally, and the most troublesome thing, the Lingyu Palace where the emperor and his concubines live is more tightly guarded.

Zhu Qiyu has completely gone to extremes. In the past, there were still two little maids who could enter to send the emergency report, but now the little maids are not allowed to enter.

If there is something urgent, ring the bell outside the palace gate.The concubines heard the bell and went to the gate of the palace to deal with it.

It's like Zhu Qiyu built a big prison and locked himself in it.

As the concubine said before, you ministers, if you have the ability, you can mobilize the army and break through the Qi Palace, and then the emperor will let you deal with it.

As for how many troops need to be mobilized, you can figure it out.The Prince Qi Mansion is guarded by 2 battalion state guards, and it may not be enough for you to mobilize [-] or [-] people.

The ministers were completely speechless by the way the emperor's family played hob meat.According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, without the approval of the emperor, it is simply a fantasy to mobilize more than [-] troops in the capital to attack the emperor's residence.

When it was time for dinner, Empress Dowager Sun came to Nangong in person to visit Zhu Qizhen and the second prince.

The second prince's condition was serious, and he was just heaving a sigh of relief.

The poisoning of the second prince and the third prince has already had preliminary results.All kinds of evidence point to Jin Ying's conspiracy to poison the prince, so as to frame the emperor.

There are all witnesses and material evidence, even Zhu Qizhen has to believe it.

Therefore, there was a lot of grievances between Zhu Qizhen and the Sun family: in order to preserve the Sun family, his mother even put pressure on the emperor by mutilating the emperor's heir.

Putting the interests of her natal family above that of her husband's family has completely subverted Zhu Qizhen's outlook on life.

Didn’t the sages talk about the three obediences and four virtues? Didn’t they say that one should obey the father at home, obey the husband when married, and obey the son when the husband dies?
In the past few days, when Zhu Qizhen was walking in the garden, he faintly heard the rumors spreading among the palace people, saying that he was not the son of the empress dowager, but the son of the palace people.Then after he was born, he was jointly arranged by the emperor's grandmother, mother, and father to be raised as the mother and son.

If this kind of rumor had been heard before, Zhu Qizhen would just laugh it off, and the people in the palace just got their heads wet.

But now, if he is really not the empress dowager's biological son, then the matter of the second prince and the third prince can be explained.Anyway, the two princes are not the grandsons of the Empress Dowager, so what's the point of sacrificing them to protect the Sun's family.

As for the palace man giving birth to the queen mother, is it feasible?

Although it is absurd to say, Zhu Qizhen really dare not completely deny the possibility.Because there is a very intuitive case in front of him. His younger brother Zhu Qiyu and his mother Wu Taifei are the criminal daughters of the Han Palace, and they were confiscated into the palace for hard labor.

Then, Concubine Wu was favored by the first emperor by chance, and she gave birth to Zhu Qiyu.

For quite a long time, Concubine Wu and Zhu Qiyu had no name or distinction, and they were secretly kept outside the palace like that.

Therefore, it is possible that the unnamed court lady quietly gave birth to the late emperor's son.It is possible to keep it secret after giving birth.

In Zhu Qizhen's view: "The younger brother was born secretly by a palace lady, so it is also possible that I was born secretly by a palace lady."Therefore, it is entirely possible for the queen mother to take the son of the palace as her own son, and it is definitely not a fantasy.

The queen mother was only a concubine when she gave birth, and she was absolutely incapable of cheating the world by herself.

But after the first emperor favored his mother alone, he was most likely willing to help.

The queen mother was brought up by the empress dowager, and the empress dowager is likely to be willing to help.

If the three of them work together, it will not be a problem at all to cheat the sky.

If that was the case, those who knew about it at that time would probably have been dealt with, including the court lady who gave birth. '
