Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 62

He Yi, who walked to the door, heard Zhu Qiyu's call, so he had to turn around and come back.

The others gave He Yi a sympathetic look and left in a hurry.

He Yi came in front of Zhu Qiyu, stood there bowed, and waited for Zhu Qiyu's further instructions.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "It's also my first time to be emperor, although this position is really hot, but I can only come here and settle down.

Although I usually don't drink a lot, today is the first day I'm enthroned, and it makes sense to have a couple of drinks to celebrate.

You only became a Jinshi last year, so you probably haven't settled your family business in the capital yet.You should be fine when you get home, so just stay and have a drink or two with me. There is a hundred-year-old wine in our house, and I will let the kitchen cook some good dishes. "

Although writing turned into drinking, He Yi was not too surprised, and immediately bowed to his orders.

Zhu Qiyu beckoned: "Come, take off your shoes and get on the couch, and sit next to me."

He Yi quickly declined: "Don't dare to sit on an equal footing with His Majesty, just stand on the ground."

Zhu Qiyu laughed and said: "What's the matter with being equal, just have a drink together, don't be so nervous. Back then, Guo Fengxiao and Emperor Wu of Wei traveled in the same car, and sat at the same table. Isn't it also a good story that has been achieved through the ages.

Could it be that He Aiqing felt that she was not good enough to assist the king, so she didn't dare to chase after the sages? "

He Yi heard the words and no longer declined, the emperor had already talked about this point, so why hesitate, ten years of hard work, isn't it just to sell the emperor's family.

As soon as He Yi got on the couch and sat down, Zhu Qiyu couldn't wait to ask: "Just now people were so scared by me that they were fighting with each other, and almost wanted to leave first. Why is it that Aiqing is the only one with a calm demeanor and doesn't care?"

He Yi heard the words, showing hesitation, hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu promised: "It's just you and my monarch and ministers here. Only the sky knows, the earth knows, you know, and I know what you say.

I allow you to speak freely, and criticize people in the world as much as you like.Even if it involves the emperor of this dynasty, it doesn't matter, even if I make a mistake, I forgive you for your innocence. "

He Yi got the promise, and then he replied with confidence: "The humble minister's demeanor is calm, because I feel that what His Majesty said just now is true or false, and it is more intended to test.

His Majesty came to the throne suddenly from the prince, and lacked capable cronies around him, so he found a few ministers with potential to test and see if he was worthy of the big job.

If His Majesty asked them dryly if they would like to be loyal, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they would definitely answer yes, so they would not be able to find anything.Your Majesty can only test people's true attitudes by asking some extremely sensitive questions. "

"You're so right. I don't have any trusted civil servants, not a single trusted general, or even a trusted eunuch by my side. I can be said to be truly lonely. I am eager to seek talents and eager to see through.

In particular, what I lack most around me now are counselors and think tanks.Although I don't believe in Buddhism, if I can get a great talent like Guo Fengxiao now, I will burn incense and kowtow to Guanyin Bodhisattva when I go back. "

When He Yi heard this, he cupped his hands and smiled, "I am willing to be examined by His Majesty."

"Okay, then tell me, what I said to the ministers just now, which ones are true and which ones are false?"

He Yi replied without hesitation: "What Your Majesty said about sending elite soldiers to forcibly disarm the Xuanfu soldiers and attack Yang Hong directly is definitely a lie. It is also a lie to say that if the ministers leaked His Majesty's words, the three clans will be exiled.

His Majesty is dissatisfied with Yang Hong and intends to use tricks to get rid of him. This should be true.It is true that His Majesty wants to reuse Fan Guang.Your Majesty wants to build an army loyal only to you, it must be true. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded and asked again: "What do you think of Yang Hong?"

He Yi replied: "Based on the information I learned from the residence newspaper and what I heard from other ministers, I think there is something wrong with Yang Hong.

During the recent war, there were three elite Ming armies in Shanxi: the Datong soldiers and Xuanfu soldiers from the two important towns in Shanxi, plus the Taishanghuang's personal army.

As a result, after the three battles at Yanghekou, Yaoerling, and Tumubao, Datong soldiers and pro-conscription soldiers were all defeated.

However, Xuanfu soldiers never appeared on the battlefield from the beginning to the end.I have never heard of any battles they participated in, nor how many enemies they killed, nor what losses they suffered.

The humble minister has a low position and a small position, and the information he gets is limited.But I really don't understand what the soldiers of Xuanfu have been doing for the past two months, and I don't believe that Yang Hong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, is fine. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words, and asked again: "Then what do you think should be done with Yang Hong and Xuanfu soldiers?"

He Yi replied without hesitation: "You can break up the Xuanfu soldiers, some of them are sent to quell the Miao chaos, some are sent to continue to attack Luchuan, and some are sent to conquer Jiaozhi. Especially in Jiaozhi, the water inside is bottomless. , even if tens of thousands of troops are sent there, they may be wiped out by the hidden forces in the dark within a few days."

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "How do you know that I'm going to conquer Cochin?"

He Yi was stunned for a moment, and then boldly replied: "Yang Shiqi is a traitor."

Zhu Qiyu was leaning casually on the pillow, but when he heard this, he immediately straightened up and moved closer to the table.

This action already had the meaning of Emperor Xiaowen's "empty seat in the middle of the night". Obviously, Zhu Qiyu had been aroused by He Yi's answer, so he asked, "Why did Aiqing say that?"

He Yi replied: "Jiaozhi has been the territory of the Han Dynasty since ancient times. Even in the last years of the Han Dynasty, when the Three Kingdoms stand together and disputes continue, Jiaozhi is still firmly in the hands of Sun Wu.

His Majesty, as a vassal king, entered the Datong, naturally he wanted to be a famous emperor through the ages, and to uphold the throne of the emperor.

Since you want to be a famous emperor through the ages, your majesty, as the emperor of Han, naturally wants to recover Jiaozhi.Looking through the history books, there has never been a famous emperor through the ages who lost the land of Han in this world.

As for Yang Shiqi, as the prime minister of the three dynasties, he didn't want to repay the grace of heaven, and he didn't have the heart to serve the king, Yao and Shun.He doesn't want to assist the emperor to expand the territory, but only cares about success, which is fine, and it can be explained as sympathy for the people.

But he was so conservative that he directly guarded all the Han land.Yang Shiqi lost land and humiliated the country many times during his administration, and he was not ashamed, but proud, and even called the Xuanzong Dynasty a prosperous age.

History is written like iron, which will surely make the first emperor and the Supreme Emperor the laughing stock of the ages.If such a person cannot be called a traitor, then I really don't know who else is a traitor. "

Zhu Qiyu was overjoyed when he heard the words, clapped his palms and praised: "Ai Qing's words are very kind, this is what a minister should say. It is the so-called master worrying about the humiliation of the minister, and the master humiliating the minister to death.

During the period when Yang Shiqi was in power, our Ming military equipment was abolished, and our military strength dropped drastically.Now that the civil disaster has caused Master Wang to be so vulnerable, he also has a lot of responsibility.It's really bad luck to meet such a treacherous minister.

Forget it, let's not mention him, as soon as he is mentioned, he will get angry.Ai Qing said again, if I want to be a famous emperor through the ages, should I focus on attacking the north or the south? "

He Yi replied decisively: "If your Majesty wants to establish a position that future generations will not dare to shake, he should go all out to conquer the South, and even conquer the South Seas and the West.

In the north, the most important thing is to build an impregnable Great Wall defense line, rather than blindly confronting those nomadic tribes.

If you only rely on the conquest of the army, under the condition of a wise king, everything will be peaceful.Just like when Taizu and Taizong were here, my Great Ming was so overwhelming that all the tribes in the grassland could not hold their heads up.But the Taizong Dynasty has only passed for a few decades, and you can see that the north has become what it is now.

Therefore, it is more practical to build an impregnable Great Wall defense line: so that when the British Lord is in power, he can take the initiative to attack, and when the mediocre Lord is in power, he can just hold the Great Wall defense line.In this way, my Ming can advance or retreat, and it is not easy to have problems again. "

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu nodded again and again, and couldn't help praising: "Aiqing is really my confidant, and everything I think coincides with mine. It seems that I should kowtow to Goddess Guanyin."
