Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 797: Recalling the past and present, finding role models, inspiring the spirit and restoring calm

Zhu Qiyu also felt that his own army was not enough. Sure enough, the emperor's power is based on the army.

The military has been purged too much in recent years, and the new recruits have not yet fully stepped up to the plate. The enemy has chosen its attack timing very well.

This situation was somewhat familiar. Zhu Qiyu thought that a few years later, in the far northwest, there would be a kind father who also carried out a large-scale purge. As a result, he was killed by a failed art student who loved art.

If it weren't for the cold winter in the north, my kind father would have completely ruined his reputation.

Zhu Qiyu sighed. There are now more than 100,000 troops stationed in Japan; in the occupied southern provinces, there are nearly 200,000 troops, including 30,000 battle-hardened Lao Jing camp, and 100,000 brave soldiers who are not afraid of death. Guangxi wolf soldiers.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are all trapped outside. If the people are transferred back, the occupied areas will continue to rebel, and the entire empire will definitely fall into complete chaos.

Ningxiang looked at his face and comforted her: "My husband is so worried that his wrinkles are all showing out. In fact, as long as you completely wipe out Meng Yuan, even if the entire imperial city is burned down, your status will not be shaken."

This is the battle for you to transform from a wise king to a great emperor. It is normal to be extremely difficult, and all forces will try their best to stop your husband.

If you win, you will break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly. From then on, you will enter the state of transformation, do whatever you want, and speak your mind.

For one year, or at most two years, the husband will persist. "

These words enlightened Zhu Qiyu so much that he thought of his father's philosophical saying: "The winner is not criticized. This is a general axiom."

At the beginning of the war, my loving father made a series of major mistakes. Coupled with the great purges that reduced the army's combat effectiveness, the enemy was so overwhelming that they almost captured the capital.

But in the end, he won. Not only did no one pursue his loving father's original strategic mistakes, but tens of millions of people regarded him as a loving and majestic 'biological father'.

According to this experience, as long as the Meng Yuan is destroyed, the people of the world will 'forget' all the previous unpleasantness.

After thinking about it, Zhu Qiyu became happy, hugged Ningxiang, caressed the pretty face of the beauty and said with a smile: "My beloved concubine still feels sorry for me. Hey, you have such a beautiful face. Kneel down and I want to flatter you."

"Okay, it's a slave's honor to be favored by the master."

Zhu Qiyu stood up, Ningxiang put his knees together and knelt at his feet obediently. One is aloof and the other is low and petty. The scene is extremely disharmonious.

Lin Xiangyu snorted coldly from the side: "Oh, I didn't pay attention, and this little bitch stole my favor again. Come on, sister Linglong, let's go make some delicious food and let these bitches play by themselves."

The four beloved concubines all came to an understanding and left, leaving Zhu Qiyu and Ningxiang to live in their own world.

After Qianxue and Su Xi left Lingyu Palace, they arranged for Qiao Feng and Huang Qi to go to the capital to investigate the situation.

Before noon, Qiao Feng and Huang Qi rode into the city.

The two passed through Chengtian Gate and Taimiao Street Gate and arrived at the gate of Taimiao Temple.

Many ministers have gathered here and are watching eagerly. The fire has been extinguished, but billows of black smoke are still visible from a distance.

Huang Qi was the first to come to the eunuch team. This time, not only Wang Cheng and Shu Liang were anxious, but even Zhang Yong was dumbfounded.

Zhang Yong is the handprint of the inner official supervisor and the direct palace supervisor. There was a fire in the imperial city, and Zhang Yong was one of the people directly responsible.

Wang Qin secretly considered his major titles: Eunuch Bingbi, Supervisor of Liturgical Affairs, Admiral Eunuch of Shangshan Supervisor, Admiral of Shenji Camp, and concurrently in charge of Bell and Drum Department, Needlework Bureau, and Internal Weaving and Dyeing Bureau.

It is said that when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Wang Qin was originally an inconspicuous little eunuch in the palace, but as soon as the emperor came to power, he had a lot of errands on him.

With great power comes great responsibility. Wang Qin is very fortunate that there have been no problems within his scope of authority.

Shu Liang pulled Huang Qi and asked tremblingly: "Brother Huang, our sin was too great. Did the emperor reprimand us?"

Huang Qi shook his head: "No, no, the emperor didn't say anything, and the ladies didn't complain at all."

Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, and Zhang Yong were even more frightened when they heard this. Everyone knows that relationships are accidents. If the master above is willing to scold you, it shows that he still regards you as one of his own. If you don’t even scold and nothing else matters, it can only mean that you have given up on you.

There is a trend now. The emperor and the empress do not say harsh words, giving people a feeling that it does not matter what they say.

Shu Liang tested Huang Qi again: "Brother Huang, in the anonymous satirical admonishment case and the anonymous post posting case, the person who wrote and spread it has not yet been captured, but in these days, our Dongchang and Jinyiwei have captured hundreds of Mongolian spies.

And the list has been submitted. Did the Emperor say how to deal with it? "

Huang Qi also looked indifferent: "Your Majesty didn't say anything, maybe His Majesty hasn't had time to read the report."

"Then the Ancestral Temple was on fire. Did the Emperor say how to punish it?"

Huang Qi continued to shake his head: "Your Majesty didn't say anything."

Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, and Zhang Yongzhen were anxious. This prince said nothing, neither expressed his position nor punished anyone. This was not his usual temperament, it was too scary.

Huang Qi said with a smile: "I have already seen the fire situation. I will go to the cabinet and then go back to report to the emperor."

Wang Wen, He Wenyuan and other cabinet ministers knew that the emperor had an intention, so they followed Huang Qi to the cabinet.

The other officials also dispersed, and Qiao Feng found her father in the crowd. The two of them got together, left Chengtianmen, and returned home together.

Qiao Yi returned home and lay down on the bed with his feet in the air, sighing and complaining.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Feng smiled and said: "My father looks a bit like the Holy One. The last time the Holy One was in charge of government in Qingyun Pavilion, he also lay down on the couch and sighed."

Qiao Yi sighed: "I don't want to be rude, but my old bones really can't bear it. In the past month, the most tiring person is not Dongchang, Jin Yiwei, or Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, but our Shun Tianfu.

We are both burdened and offended. There are several people above us who are in charge of us, and no one can afford to offend us. "

Qiao Feng said with a smile: "My son has heard that Mr. Jin Yiwei was oppressed by Dongchang and suffered all kinds of anger."

"That was in the past. Now Jinyiwei is not very afraid of Dongchang. In the past, when the chief officer of Jinyiwei saw Admiral Dongchang, he was like a mouse seeing a cat.

It's different now. Wu Dinghou is in charge of the Jin Yiwei. He is a top noble and the emperor's father-in-law. No eunuch admiral in Dongchang would dare to offend Wu Dinghou.

Don't look at the fact that the eldest lady stays in the Lingyu Palace and rarely shows up; don't think that she is the daughter recognized by Marquis Wu Ding, not her biological daughter.

Whoever offends Marquis Wu Ding will know which empress is the most powerful. "

"Is it because the case has not been fully investigated this time because Dongchang and Jinyiwei cannot cooperate?"
