Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 798 Duke An Guo returned to the capital smoothly and the monarch and his ministers met and complained to each other about military affairs.

Qiao Yi nodded: "That's right, the Jinyiwei is very strange, there are many people who are passive and sabotage their work, and there are many who secretly cause trouble.

At least more than half of the people don't want to find out the case at all.

Wu Dinghou and his relatives were not good at investigating cases, and Menda and others were unwilling to contribute, so Liu Jing, Lu Zhong and other limited people worked hard.

It can't be detected, it's normal.

Moreover, things like anonymous postings are particularly difficult to check. "

Qiao Feng asked again: "Then how should I report to the Holy One?"

"Open one eye, close one eye, and let it pass vaguely. In fact, the Holy Spirit understands it, and he himself doesn't want to point it out.

I am in charge of Shuntian Prefecture, and I have a thorough understanding of the situation in Beijing. According to my observation, in addition to Dongchang and Jinyiwei, there is also a very large secret intelligence organization in Beijing.

The imperial court never paid attention to it, which meant that it was an intelligence tool belonging to the Holy One.

In other words, if there is any disturbance in the capital, the Holy One will know about it in time.

Menda and other Jin Yiwei were passive and sabotaged their work. The Holy One may have already seen the fire, but he just kept it to himself. "

Qiao Feng asked again: "Why is Your Majesty so quiet?"

"Why do you want to kill people again? The Holy Taoists believe that if you want to take something, you must support it; if you want to weaken it, you must strengthen it.

You haven't seen it with your own eyes. I was a Jinshi before your Majesty ascended the throne. I have experienced all those things. When your Majesty made a decisive attack, it was called ruthless.

By the time you become a Jinshi, the Holy Spirit has become a kind, gentle and gentle person who plays with women at home all day long.

You new scholars don’t know how bloody the original struggle for imperial succession was.

Take the harem as an example. You can count on your fingers. From Concubine Sun Rong to the empress and concubines of Emperor Yuanshou, to the concubines and concubines of Prince Xie's Palace, almost all of them are dead.

I say it's easy, but actually it's very difficult to make all these women die "reasonably". "

Qiao Feng lowered her voice and asked, "Is it all the work of the Holy One himself?"

Qiao Yi shook his head: "I didn't say that. You just have to deduce it from the results. The most noble woman in the world now is the Holy Mother, Queen Mother Wu.

Only under the Empress Dowager Wu and above tens of thousands of people were the fifteen favored concubines of the Holy Emperor.

Behind him is the Crown Princess.

The scene was clean and tidy, and the ones who had the last laugh were all women with highly aligned interests.

If you think backwards from the results, how could the harem rights be arranged so neatly without human intervention.

If you think about it again, if Princess Xi and Wang Xi's concubine were still alive, what would it be like. They are not allowed to fight with the current fifteen empresses with the support of the civil servants and generals of the Xuande and Yuanshou families.

How exciting was the battle to seize the direct descendants? "

Although Qiao Feng is talented and intelligent, she rarely pays attention to women. After hearing what her father said, she was shocked: "Father, are you saying that the Holy One will eradicate dissidents and thus end the harem war?"

Qiao Yi made a silent gesture: "Don't talk nonsense, just understand in your heart."

Qiao Feng asked in a low voice: "Do the current empresses know this, or are they also involved?"

Qiao Yi shook his head: "Those empresses are very kind-hearted, and they are not involved in the eradication of the old people in the Prince's Palace. But at least the five empresses in Lingyu Palace know the inside story, and they are just pretending to be confused. .”

Qiao Feng sighed. Sure enough, the Tian family had no family ties. Although it looked peaceful on the surface, in fact, the royal battles behind the scenes were still very bloody.

Qiao Yi added: "You are a close servant of the emperor. When you meet the ladies, you must show your utmost respect. Smile more often, kneel down and kowtow more often. Don't be surprised if you are polite to many people, and don't hit anyone who smiles.

Don't be arrogant just because you won the Jinshi at a young age.

If you want to be a good official, character is more important than ability.

For example, the five empresses in Lingyu Palace are all top-notch figures in terms of their character, each one more powerful than the other. You think about it, the eldest empress first became the Princess of Qi, and then recognized Wu Dinghou as her daughter. She received the full support of the Jingtai clan nobles, and then gave birth to the prince.

This position couldn't be more stable. If it were most women, they would be domineering.

But look at the eldest lady, she neither competes for the queen nor seeks authority. Instead, she seems to be living in seclusion. She rarely shows her face, and all the power of the housekeeper is given to other sisters.

What kind of character is this? The eldest lady is the woman I admire most in the world. "

Qiao Feng nodded in agreement: "What my father said is very true. Getting along with the eldest lady and the tenth lady is like spring breeze. The two ladies don't put on any airs at all."

Qiao Yi sighed: "As long as you understand, you go to Dingguo Palace to pick up your wife. I'll take a nap. In the afternoon, I will take the government servants to search for spies from house to house."

Qiao Feng nodded, left her house, and went to Dingguo Mansion for dinner.

……

But it was said that after Zhu Qiyu took his nap with his little lady in his arms, he got up, dressed neatly, and came to Qingyun Pavilion to meet Duke An Guo with the prince.

Two years later, when the monarch and his ministers met again, they were filled with emotions. The two parties chatted for a long time, both lamenting the difficult times in the world.

After the pleasantries, let’s get down to business.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "It's because of my lack of experience that I made the situation like this. The Mongolian tribes felt that the Ming Dynasty's national power was growing day by day, and it was very likely that the Ming Dynasty would prosper and become a more powerful empire than the previous dynasty.

Therefore, they have become unprecedentedly united. They have really mobilized men and horses, and almost mobilized all the strong men and horses of the Mongolian and Yuan tribes to fight us to the death.

This means interrupting the rise of the empire at all costs.

There were also several major khanates established by the descendants of Genghis Khan, all of whom also provided great assistance.

Especially the Timurid Empire is really going to death.

Because I will kill all the royal families of any country that has killed its envoys. With the lessons learned from Japan, the Timurid Empire naturally has no intention of taking any chances and can only fight to the death with us.

Agabarji has led the main force to cross the Yellow River and rush into the inner river. The coalition forces from several other khanates will soon arrive.

The enemy has so many cavalry, I don't know how to fight. "

Xu Heng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although the enemy is strong, it is not invincible. We can first sweep away the Mongolian army on the eastern front, and then attack directly at the Meng Yuan's lair, leaving them with no flanks or retreat first.

The minister made his own decision and transferred the 5,000 heroic cavalry battalion stationed in Japan and a large amount of military equipment and food to Gaizhou.

The soldiers were so quick that they didn't have time to report, so they asked the Holy One to punish him. "

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "The general is out there, and I will not accept your orders. You have to adapt to the situation. What's the crime? It's just that you transferred elite soldiers. Will Japan rebel?"

Speaking of this, Xu Heng's smile grew stronger: "Your Majesty has never been to Japan in person, so you don't know. To be on the safe side, I only transferred 10,000 elite soldiers. In fact, if I transferred 20,000 more elite soldiers, Japan would not be in chaos. .”

"Why?"

"How can I describe the Japanese character?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Dong An Guo wants to say that they all 'enjoy the strong', right? It means admiring and respecting the strong."

Xu Heng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, why the Holy Spirit described it so exquisitely, it is 'Mu Qiang'. Whether it is Japan or North Korea, from the powerful to the common people, they all admire Qiang.

Not to mention rebelling, they even rushed to donate a large number of camp prostitutes to our army. There are even good families who have volunteered to donate. They say they are borrowing seeds or something, but I don’t understand. It’s weird anyway. "

Zhu Qiyu was also amused: "This Mu Qiang is more obvious in the countries to the north, but those in the south such as Annan and Myanmar do not have this problem.

As for borrowing seeds, I heard that Japan was already doing it during the Tang Dynasty. It's really dumbfounding. It's hard to stop someone from doing this even if you want it. "
