Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 50 Concubine Wu Helps the Talented Daughter Qi Wang Repeatedly Tries Her Majesty

Zhu Qiyu returned to Concubine Wu Xian's bedroom, immediately knelt down again, and reported to Concubine Wu Xian: "Reporting to Concubine Wu, the minister who was sent to Wala brought back the oral order of the eldest brother.

The son has received an imperial edict and promised to succeed the emperor, but he rejected the proposal of the ministers to honor his mother and concubine as the empress dowager and make her a queen.If the son is unfilial, ask the mother and concubine to punish him. "

Concubine Wu Xian said with a smile: "You have already told me in advance, and I agree, what is your fault, get up quickly."

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he stopped being polite and got up to sit by the kang.

Concubine Wu Xian asked again: "Are all the ministers gone?"

"No, there is only Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War, and I will leave him at home for dinner. In the afternoon, I will take him, and then Cheng Guogong, to Jiumen for inspection."

Lin Xiangyu was sitting on the side kang with Concubine Wu Xian at this time, and she was about to get up to make arrangements when she heard the words, while complaining: "Your Highness, why didn't you tell me earlier, people who don't know think the slave family is so mean, the dignified Minister of the Ministry of War came to the house, They don’t entertain people well.”

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly waved his hands to stop: "I also let Yu Shangshu eat at home on a temporary basis, and I didn't have time to tell you. I have asked Xiao Lingxi to arrange him to eat, so you don't have to worry about it."

Lin Xiangyu teased after hearing the words: "A sudden idea? Just you? Your Highness can't wait to count the eighteen generations of his ancestors, how could he have a sudden idea. My family advises you to be honest and honest. What kind of bad intentions are you in?"

Concubine Wu Xian hurriedly corrected her distressedly: "Daughter-in-law, don't say that, I know it well, my son is an honest man."

With the support of Concubine Wu Xian, Zhu Qiyu also got angry, and replied loudly: "Yes, yes, mother and concubine are right, the widow is an honest person, dare to frame the real prince without evidence, and the crime is aggravated." Wait a minute, come and take the princess to prison."

Lin Xiangyu heard the words, lightly twisted Zhu Qiyu's arm, and whispered reproachfully: "I am wronged, even more wronged than Dou E. Your Highness is ashamed to ask for evidence. When you played with the slave, you are not an honest person at all. Do you want the slave Reveal all the evil deeds of His Highness, let the mother and concubine do a good job of being Bao Qingtian who hangs like a bright mirror."

Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law are in a good relationship, Concubine Wu Xian was happy in her heart, but she teased: "Okay, okay, you go back to your room at night and then flirt. Now let's hurry up and eat, and let our family leave after dinner." Prince, go to business."

So the two stopped and asked the maid to come in and set the meal.Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xiangyu asked in a low voice: Is your Highness planning to play on Sister Lingxi?There are only so many reliable people around the slave family, you can't send them all out to the slave family. "

Zhu Qiyu replied with a bitter face: "Xiao Lingxi is too upright, I really don't know how to train her. I think her personality matches Yu Qian quite well, so I made up my mind on the spur of the moment.

Besides, Yu Qian is now in charge of the Ministry of War and the military power in the entire capital. I have to send someone to monitor him, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well in the future.

Although he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, he is not loyal to me.I don't have anyone in my hands now, so I can only let the princess's people sacrifice. "

Concubine Wu Xian asked curiously: "Is my son so pitiful? Are there not many people available under his command?"

As soon as Zhu Qiyu heard this, he began to pour bitter water, and complained to Concubine Wu Xian with his fingers: "Look, concubine, I only have five eunuchs in my hand, that's all, I don't know who installed them all. , I don't know who they are loyal to behind the scenes.

The leading eunuch, Cheng Jing, was born as a Jinshi. He was full of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust, and he didn't look like he could become a powerful official.The remaining four are all young eunuchs with low qualifications, and they are not very useful at all.In other words, I can't even control Dongchang now.

The civil servants in my hands are even worse. As far as Yu Shan and Yu Gang are concerned, the most promising is the vice-president.Even if I act cronyically, Dingtian will arrange for them to be servants.Moreover, he is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, the minister of real power of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of officials, and it is difficult to arrange for him.

Tired of thinking about it, what do you think I should do? "

The more Zhu Qiyu talked, the more sad he became, and in the end he just sat on the small ottoman by the edge of the Kang, leaning weakly against the edge of the Kang like a deflated ball, sighing uncontrollably.

This made Concubine Wu Xian feel distressed, and she said to Lin Xiangyu: "Daughter-in-law, you see that my son is pitiful, so give him someone. If you are short of people, I still have a few maids by my side, you can take them over." Do it."

Lin Xiangyu quickly replied: "Mother and concubine, don't worry, my daughter-in-law was joking with His Highness just now. Your Highness is my daughter-in-law's heaven, and everything about my daughter-in-law belongs to His Highness. Naturally, His Highness will do whatever she wants, and give her whatever she wants."

Concubine Wu Xian nodded, and then she felt relieved.

Lin Xiangyu smiled at Zhu Qiyu again: "Your Highness, get up quickly, let alone sister Lingxi, even if the little sisters Suxi and Qianxue are sent out, they will follow His Highness."

Hearing the words, Zhu Qiyu stood up abruptly, and waved his hands again and again: "That's absolutely not possible, the little sisters Suxi and Qianxue are good-looking, and have a gentle personality. If you train them carefully, they are a pair of top-notch little stunners. I You have to keep it for yourself to enjoy, these two are definitely not given away.

Lin Xiangyu heard the words, sat up straight, put on a show, and imitated Zhu Qiyu's appearance, and sighed slowly: "I have a disease, and the disease has penetrated into the bone marrow. Alas, alas!"

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and was about to hit his wife. Concubine Wu Xian hurriedly smiled and persuaded: "Okay, okay, let's eat quickly, and go to business after dinner. You two will go back to the room tonight." If we fight again, let me hug my grandson as soon as possible."

So the three of them stopped joking, Zhu Qiyu had eaten and lay down for a while, then went back to take Yu Qian with him, and went directly to Duke Cheng's mansion.

Zhu Yi was only 23 years old. His father, Zhu Yong, Duke of Cheng, had just died in battle at Yaoerling.

A few days ago Zhu Qiyu came over to cry at the funeral, now that he is familiar with the road, he soon abducted Zhu Yi and left the house.

Yu Qian was about to go to Deshengmen with his head covered, Zhu Qiyu pulled Zhu Yi and shouted loudly from behind: "Yu Shangshu, wait a minute, wait a minute."

Yu Qian turned around with a look of doubt, and asked curiously: "What else is your Highness doing?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "There is a lot of salt in the lunch, I am a bit salty. I heard that Dingguo's mansion is not far away, let's call and ask for a cup of tea with Dingguo."

Yu Qian replied helplessly: "Your Highness, there is no Ding Guogong now."

Zhu Qiyu replied very positively: "Yes, there is Duke Ding."

Yu Qian also replied very positively: "Your Highness, Ding Guogong Xu Xianzhong just passed away last year, and his eldest son Xu Yongning was only ten years old, and he has not yet reached the age of being a prince, so there is no Ding Guogong now."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "Shangshu Yu, think about it carefully. Is there a possibility that after we drink a cup of good tea, Xu Yongning will become Duke Ding?"

Yu Qian heard the words and stopped talking.His Royal Highness King Qi is already dazed.No matter which honorable person I see, I feel that he has a handsome face and a talent for helping the world.It's good now, even a ten-year-old child is unwilling to let go.

Regardless of these, Zhu Qiyu took Zhu Yi to Duke Dingguo's mansion, drank good tea, and met Xu Yongning.

While drinking tea, Zhu Qiyu smiled at Xu Yongning and said, "The Xu family has one family and two Dukes. Now that the capital is in danger, has your Dingguo Mansion arranged for your family members to go south to the Duke Wei's Mansion in Nanjing?"

Although Xu Yongning is a young man, he has no stage fright, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Highness is joking, I have received the state's favor from Dingguo, and naturally I will live and die with Daming. Now the queen mother, prince and Your Highness are all in Beijing. How dare the ministers abandon the Lord and run away?"

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu asked seriously: "Then let you follow me to defend the city against the enemy, do you dare?"

Xu Yongning resolutely replied: "It's just a mere tile, why don't you dare. It's a pity that I am young and cannot lead the army alone. Otherwise, I will lead [-] troops, and I will be able to go straight to the captive court, behead the general and kill the enemy, and the general will be headed first." Dedicated to Your Highness."

Zhu Qiyu praised: "Okay, young, ambitious, worthy of being a descendant of the king of Zhongshan. From now on, you will be the Duke of Ding, and you will be responsible for guarding Fuchengmen together with me."

Xu Yongning was taken aback when he heard the words, and then confirmed: "I'm only ten years old, are you going to become a prince now?"

Zhu Qiyu replied: "In the face of a national crisis, we don't care about trivial matters. Clean up, and come with me now, let's patrol the city defense."

Not long after, Zhu Qiyu took Yu Qian, Zhu Yi, and Xu Yongning out of Dingguo Duke's Mansion and went straight to Deshengmen.

There are nine gates in the capital, and Desheng Gate is in the north. Together with the war, they will face the Oala army directly.
