Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 669: Nanjing officials collectively resigned, and the prince angrily gave up his throne and broke off the engagement.

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he was so angry that he slapped himself in the mouth, blaming himself for being so troublesome. That time he went to Jingling to plead guilty to Xuanmiao, and brought Zhu Wenfang and Zhu Wenjing with him.

The original intention was to take Zhu Wenjing, the little Han king, to the Xuan Temple and all the loyal ministers of the Xuan Temple. Unexpectedly, Zhu Wenfang remembered the allusion of Jingling's apology. He really shot himself in the foot.

Zhu Wenfang became even more proud when she saw her father beating her.

Zhu Qiyu angrily scolded: "Smile, just laugh, then turn around and ask your wife to beat you so hard that you will be unable to get up from bed or get off the ground."

"Dad can just hit me now, why do I have to wait for my mother to do it?"

Zhu Qiyu waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't want to be this bad person. I never beat my own women, and I never beat my own children."

Zhu Qiyu also hopes to make Zhu Wenfang an excellent emperor through subtle influences in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

These are all lessons learned from Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.The Holy Lord, who spent his whole life struggling with martial arts and arts, finally gave birth to Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, and almost destroyed the great Han Dynasty.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty usually did not take the prince with him to teach him carefully. Unless the prince was completely misled by the civil servants, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty would scream, "The prince is the one who messes with my family!" '

That's all irresponsible and incompetent rage.

This is a typical example of wanting the horse to run and not eating grass.

He Yi cleared his throat and reported to Zhu Qiyu: "I have to report something that makes the Lord unhappy. There are many resignations from Nanjing."

"Resignation? Who doesn't want to do it anymore?"

He Yi shook his head helplessly: "Many, Yu Shan, Yu Gang, and Saqi, the old ministers of the Yi Mansion, requested to become officials. Ye Sheng, an official in the East Palace, requested to return to his hometown to take care of his illness because his father was seriously ill.

Cao Yi, the Minister of Civil Affairs in Nanjing, requested to become an official because of his old age.Xiang Wenyao, the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing, requested to resign and go to hospital because of his frailty.

These are just the resignations I received in the past few days, and I’m afraid there will be more in the future. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Just make sure it's not sweet. If you don't want to do it, just leave. It's good for everyone to forget each other in the world."

However, they resigned in droves. Was there any change in the political situation in Nanjing? "

He Yi shook his head: "I don't know the details."

Zhu Qiyu could only look at Pei Dang.

Pei Dang replied: "The prince went to the Xiaoling Mausoleum to pay his respects to King Yi, but was blocked by the eunuch Yan Li, and there was no chance of meeting him again.

The other ministers wanted to meet King Yi, but they couldn't even think about it.

Even Princess Yi and other concubines were isolated by Yan Li.King Yi is under house arrest and is not allowed to have contact with anyone.

As for the prince, except for the officials in the East Palace, no other ministers could be seen.

The Crown Princess and her two companions were both daughters of a subjugated country. They lived together in the Forbidden City in Nanjing and were extremely at odds with each other.

It is said that at the beginning of this month, the former Princess Annan, who was designated as the crown prince's main concubine, scolded the prince's favored maid Wan in a rage.

The prince became furious and the commotion in the palace became extremely unbearable.

The prince has made up his mind to abdicate. He will not even attend the sutra banquet, let alone attend official lectures in the East Palace.He devoted himself to protecting the Wan family and wanted to write a letter asking for abdication. He only wanted to cancel the previous marriage and marry the Wan family instead.

Some of the ministers were discouraged, and some were afraid of being implicated, so there was a strange phenomenon of concentrating on serving officials. "

Zhu Qiyu pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Isn't the prince very smart and smart? How come he is so reckless when he grows up?"

Pei Dang replied: "The prince already knows that his position as crown prince cannot last long, and he doesn't want to be entangled anymore. He just wants a throne so that he can live a peaceful life with his beloved." Zhu Qiyu smiled helplessly at Gao Yao: "Hey, look, I can't help it. If I pass the throne to Mian Shen, how will my sons survive?
There are always some people who are dedicated to protecting the crown prince and claim to be loyal ministers. Their way of loyalty is to let all my sons die?Loyal to the prince but not to the emperor, such a loyal minister is really eye-opening.

Apart from the throne, I will give him whatever Jianshen wants.Being a prince comfortably is not a bad thing.

If I have to pass the throne to him, I really can't do it. "

Gao Yao knew in his heart that everyone else here was a firm Yi Chu faction, but he was the only one who was not clear enough, so he quickly expressed his position:
"The Holy Lord's benevolent heart, I and others feel the same. Yi Chu also had no choice but to change the title of Prince Yi to Prince Yi. It is indeed a strategy to get the best of both worlds."

Zhu Qiyu smiled secretly in his heart: Gao Yao is more straightforward than me. Changing the title of Prince Yi to Prince Yi is equivalent to acknowledging that Zhu Qizhen will be on the road soon.

So Zhu Qiyu asked again: "Where is Duke Jingguo?"

Pei Dang replied: "Half a month ago, Duke Jingguo returned to his hometown in Baoding Prefecture. He said he would go to Beijing to recuperate for a month."

"Okay, when he comes to Beijing, I will summon him immediately. Now in Nanjing, only the Xiaoling Guards have considerable fighting strength, and the Jingying and Shangzhi Guards are no longer there.

Let Duke Jingguo serve as Minister of War in Nanjing as soon as possible and quickly rebuild the Nanjing camp. "

In order to show his open mind and appease the old ministers of the Zhengtong Dynasty, he still had to put the ministers represented by Wang Ji into important use.

After talking for such a long time, Zhu Qiyu was tired and ordered everyone to disperse.

After returning home leisurely, Zhu Qiyu leaned on the couch and enjoyed the beauty's service.

Lin Xiangyu asked: "My husband is very happy. Did you have a good conversation with them?"

Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "I'm still happy. You gave birth to a good son. He didn't learn anything else and inherited all your sharp teeth. He will mock me in a weird way at a young age."

"Then what did the kid do?"

"I said I wanted to expand the territory, so he asked me, an unfilial son who went against my father's wishes, to go to Jingling to plead guilty to Xuan Temple."

Lin Xiangyu looked innocent: "My husband is an unfilial son who went against Xuan Miao's wishes. Xuan Miao finally gave Annan to Li Li, but you have to snatch it back eagerly.

There are also North Korea, Myanmar, Siam, Dongsheng, Kaiping, and Nurgan. Large tracts of land have been brought back by you.

Now we are going to take over Jiugang and attack Japan. If Quanxiao knew about it, his lungs would have been blown away by you.

What our Crown Prince Xu said is true. If you don’t have yin and yang evil spirits, you should go to Jingling again to apologize to Xuan Temple. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, after Zhu Qizhen is dead, I will kowtow to Xuan Temple to apologize.

Today I received many resignations from Nanjing officials. The prince no longer wants to be in office anymore. He plans to abdicate and cancel the engagement.

The prince also wants to marry his personal maid, Wanshi, as his wife. Do you remember Wanshi? "

As soon as the wedding was mentioned, several beloved concubines became interested and gathered around.

Ningxiang asked: "Is this the Wan Zhen'er that your husband paid special attention to when we were still in Prince Qi's Mansion in the capital?"

"It's her."

"She is many years older than the prince!"

Zhu Qiyu didn't care about this: "As long as you are old, age cannot hinder emotional matters."
