Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 55

Fortunately, Yu Qian was really lucky today, Xiao Lingxi came in to return to his life not long after.

When Lin Xiangyu heard that Concubine Zhou allowed the prince to stay in the Qi mansion for a few days, she immediately beamed with joy, stood up and said with a smile to Yu Qian: "I have to clean up the house for the prince and princess, let sister Lingxi accompany Yu Shangshu for dinner.

As for the concubine, if you have no objection, then I will take it as your consent, and wait until the repulsion is over, and the wedding will be held immediately. "

Yu Qian hurriedly got up to thank her, and watched the princess go out before continuing to eat absent-mindedly.

At this time, Yu Qian was no longer in the mood to take care of concubines. The news Xiao Lingxi just said was too scary. When did Princess Qi and Concubine Zhou have such a good relationship, and she was able to take the prince to live so easily.

There are two reasonable explanations for this incident, either Princess Qi's personal charm is too great, she is very attractive, and she can make Concubine Zhou completely trust her in just a few days.

Either the Prince Qi's Mansion and Concubine Zhou had exchanged benefits that outsiders could not imagine.This possibility is the greatest, which means that the power of the harem will be reshuffled.

Thinking of Zhu Qiyu's insistence on refusing to respect Concubine Wu Xian as the empress dowager, and also insisting on refusing to register as an empress, this obviously has a far-reaching layout and a huge picture, which makes people's backs shiver when they think about it.

Yu Qian wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, secretly rejoicing: Fortunately, he didn't refute the little princess's face just now, and Qi Wang's willingness to let the princess talk nicely is already the most affectionate emperor's method.Both sides are decent now, otherwise, in two days, the king of Qi will officially ascend the throne and directly issue the imperial decree of marriage. Will he obey the decree or resist the decree?

But Zhu Qiyu happened to be in a different mood, and when he leisurely returned to the room, he saw Qianxue and Suxi, the little sisters, carefully sorting out the list of Jinshi at the desk.He approached and asked, "Is it all sorted out?"

Qianxue replied: "It's almost done, Your Highness will lie down on the bed first, and then have a cup of tea, and the arrangement will be over."

Seeing that the two were so devoted, Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to take off his coat, lie down on the bed, and close his eyes to rest.

Not long after, Qianxue was holding a small stack of documents, and Suxi was holding a plate of tea and fruit snacks, and went to bed with a smile, and sat beside Zhu Qiyu on one left and one on the right.

Zhu Qiyu propped himself up with a pillow and leaned against the head of the bed. While accepting Suxi's feeding, he listened to Qianxue's report on the list of Jinshi.

Only Qianxue laughed and said: "Seven years, ten years, and 13 years of orthodoxy, there are a total of 449 Jinshi in these three sessions. Among them, there are 25 who can go to high school before the age of 42. The slaves have already arranged the order, Do you want to read one by one to His Highness?"

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Are you three so fast? You finished tidying up in one morning."

Qianxue teased: "It's not three people, it's two people. My sister went to Beifu early in the morning to accompany our old lady to go shopping in the garden. It took me a long time to stroll around. My sister is very chic, leaving only the two of us in the garden." Suffering here."

"Not bad, not bad. In just a few days, your sister has become such a concubine. Okay, then I will only give you two rewards. Go back to the warehouse to pick the treasures. Now start from the beginning according to the order you sorted out. Read it."

Qianxue cleared her throat, and read: "Bai Gui, courtesy name Zongyu, a native of Nangong, Beizhili, a Jinshi in the seventh year of Zhengtong, at the age of 23. He was awarded the supervisory censor. He was once the supervisor of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Cheng. I have made great achievements in the crusade against Wuliangha, and I will patrol Shanxi later."

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu praised: "You really know how to select people. This is a very powerful civil servant, who is capable enough to be the minister of the Ministry of War. It's a pity that he went with the emperor himself this time."

Qianxue asked with a look of surprise: "He also died in Tumubao?"

"No, he wasn't on the death list. He should have survived a catastrophe and escaped back. Little girl, you have chosen a lucky general for me."

Qianxue raised her neck when she heard this, and said with a proud smile: "Of course, our little sisters are both Wangfu women."

"All right, all right, you two should work hard. It's best to have more sons. When the time comes, all your sons will be crowned princes, and you will all be crowned princes and concubines. Just like our old lady, enjoy the boundless life." Prosperity and wealth."

Qianxue smiled when she heard the words: "It's not too bad. For half a month, His Highness has said this human speech, and the servant continued to read it."

Zhu Qiyu covered her face and was speechless, this little girl climbed too fast, and she only mentioned a prince and concubine, and she changed her name there, and even refused to be a slave.

Just listening to Qianxue continued to read: "Xiang Zhong, courtesy name Jinchen, native of Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, Jinshi in the seventh year of Zhengtong, at the age of 21, was awarded the head of the Ministry of Punishment, and member of the Ministry of Punishment Wailang."

Zhu Qiyu was completely speechless after hearing this, and pinched Qianxue's pretty face with his hands to blame: "You little girl, let me tell you what's good about you, you have chosen me a great talent who can be a minister of the Ministry of War, but he I also followed my elder brother to conquer."

"Ah? It's such a coincidence, is this one a martyr?"

"No, he wasn't on the list of martyrs in Tumubao, so he should have fled back. But he didn't return to Beijing, so he probably went to Xuanfu."

When Qianxue heard the words, she was about to float up: "Look, my family is prosperous or not, and I will select two lucky generals for Your Highness."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "All right, all right, each person will be rewarded with ten pieces of jewels, just pick whatever you want, open your mind."

Not long after, Lin Xiangyu also returned to the room, and several people chatted and laughed, and it took an hour to select the final list.

In the afternoon, Zhu Qiyu took Yu Qian, Zhu Yi, and Xu Yongning to continue inspecting the city defense until it got dark.

Just as Zhu Qiyu was about to let everyone go home, Chen Xun sent ministers to arrest Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian and bring them back to Benren Hall.

As soon as Zhu Qiyu entered the hall, he sat down on the couch and looked at the ministers curiously. He didn't know about any urgent military affairs, so he insisted on dragging himself here at night.

Chen Xun handed over the military newspaper with a sad face, and motioned Zhu Qiyu to read it for himself.

Zhu Qiyu took it over and took a look, and immediately became angry.After scolding Yang Shiqi more than 100 times in my heart, I just calmed down a little and handed the military report to Yu Qian.

Yu Qian took it and looked at it, his face changed immediately, and he looked at Zhu Qiyu in amazement. Has this Highness opened his mouth? He was still asking about the Southwest War at noon, and the Southwest Military News arrived at night:

The military officers of the Southern Conquest and the governor's palace gathered to report that the Miao riot broke out in the southwest, spreading to Guizhou, Huguang, and Sichuan provinces. There were no less than 20 barbarians, and they had already begun to besiege cities in various places.

After reading the military newspaper, Yu Qian also understood why Zhu Qiyu specifically mentioned Yang Shiqi at noon.

The former chief assistant is known as one of the founders of the rule of Renxuan, and he was in power for six years as a minister of Tuogu in the orthodox dynasty.

As a result, Zhu Qizhen, the successor orthodox emperor, was left with a big mess.

What does the real prosperity look like?Anyway, as long as it is compared with Wenjing Zhizhi, those false prosperous times will all be exposed.

My Great Han Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaojing worked hard for 40 years, and what was finally handed over to Emperor Wu was a super powerful empire with peak national strength, popular support, and legitimacy.

Looking at the rule of Renxuan, counting from the sixth year of orthodoxy, when the emperor was in charge, and Yang Shiqi and other Gufu ministers handed over the ruling power of the empire to Zhu Qizhen, in less than eight years, the Ming Empire has become leaky everywhere.

In the southeast, large-scale miners rebelled and peasants revolted.

In the southwest, Jiaozhi was abandoned, and the Luchuan Kingdom continued to rebel.Just now Luchuan was barely pacified, and the seedling chaos started again, and it had spread to Guizhou, Huguang, and Sichuan, and it was out of control.

In the north, not to mention, Wala is too big to attack the capital.

In the Northeast, the Jurchen Ministry is also gradually growing, but now the imperial court can't manage it, and there is really no time to deal with the Jurchen, so it seems that the Northeast is fine.

And these kinds of turmoil, although they happened in the Zhengtong Dynasty, the root of their disasters were all planted by the gang of loyal ministers and good ministers before the Zhengtong Emperor came to power.

It's unreasonable to put the blame on Zhu Qizhen's head.

Thinking of this, Yu Qian looked at Zhu Qiyu's extremely ugly face, and shook his head helplessly: This is a big trouble, Yang Shiqi and others gave up Kaipingwei, Jiaozhi, Jiugang, and moved slaves to Gandusi. It can't be washed away no matter what.

These people are always boasting that they are recuperating and living well, and their internal affairs are prosperous.But Emperor Xiaowen also rested and recuperated, why did people create a prosperous Wenjing without losing land and abandoning soil?Why come to Yang Shiqi's place, to create a prosperous world, you have to abandon the soil and lose the land.

Chen Xun saw that the atmosphere in the hall was oppressive, and Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold, so he could only bite the bullet and ask, "Your Highness, how should I reply to the report of the Governor's Palace Gathering?"

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu sighed heavily, and then replied: "Gongju asked to transfer five thousand soldiers from the capital and one thousand troops from the Da army. The capital soldiers are all gone, so we must not give them to him anymore.

The Ministry of War selected 1 elite officials from North Zhili, rewarded them generously, and sent them to the southwest to eliminate the Miao chaos.

As for Gongju's request to conquer Luchuan's army, one hundred thousand elites were dispatched to conquer the Miao Rebellion. "

Chen Xun asked again: "May I ask Your Highness, who should be the commander in chief?"

Zhu Qiyu replied: "Let Gongju go back to Beijing to report on his duties, and order Uncle Jingyuan Wang Ji to be the governor of the military affairs of the five provinces of Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan, Huguang, and Guangxi.

The Ministry of War then recruited [-] elite soldiers from Sichuan and Yunnan, and assigned them to Uncle Jingyuan for dispatch. "
