Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 95

Yu Qian was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and didn't know how to answer for a while.Fortunately, Zhu Qiyu didn't want to listen to Yu Qian's reply, but continued to reprimand:
"If the chief soldier of Xuanfu is an ordinary person, I won't talk about him. The key is Yang Hong. He has guarded the border for more than [-] years. With his bravery and skill in fighting, he was promoted to a general and his reputation shook the north and the south. He even named himself king. Now, what about 'King Yang'.

The thing is, look at what he's been up to since July.If he really has the ability of Han Xin, let alone a fake king, even if I can make him a real king.

Either you show me your skills, or you don't play like Han Xin.

You let him figure it out for himself, from July to now more than two months, can our Prince Yang kill a total of [-] Tartars? "

Yu Qian was silent when he heard the words, and the other ministers did not speak.

Zhu Qiyu asked sharply again: "Which of you is the backer behind Yang Hong, come here, please stand up and explain to me."

The ministers still looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one said a word.

Zhu Qiyu turned around again, took out a memorial from the drawer of the cabinet next to him, and handed it to a group of ministers: "Come on, let's take a look, this is Yang Hong's memorial in July. What did he say in the memorial: Da Thief It has been three days since the horse camp was surrounded, the river was cut off, and there was no water in the camp.

You all said that the failure of civil engineering was due to Wang Zhen's blind command, which caused the camp to be cut off and the whole army to collapse.

Well, Wang Zhen's water was cut off, I don't blame him.Because he was a eunuch, he didn't know the art of war.

But our famous Prince Yang doesn't know the art of war, why is he also cut off the water? "

The ministers lowered their heads and still did not speak. Anyway, the law does not blame the public. Besides, it is Yang Hong who did it, so what is the matter with the ministers.

Moreover, the ministers were already very aware of the new monarch's attitude towards Yang Hong, so naturally no one was willing to stand up and take the blame for Yang Hong.

Zhu Qiyu had beaten the minister enough, so he accepted it when he saw it was good, and ordered without doubt: "The cabinet drafted an order to promote Juyongguan as the admiral, and Wailang Luotong, a member of the Ministry of War, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Juyongguan as the admiral.

He also gave Shang Fangjian a command to control all soldiers and horses in Juyong Pass, and to take charge of all customs affairs.

Tell him that no Tatars are allowed to enter the customs, except for the special envoy of Wala who I have allowed to enter.

It is also not allowed to let any Xuanfu soldiers under Yang Hong and Yang Jun enter the customs. If there is any disobedience, they will be killed first and then played. "

As Zhu Qiyu expected, no one objected.Chen Xun and Wang Wen were only taken aback for a moment, and then they said they were ordered.

The cabinet is like this, two or three people who are willing to take orders are enough.If the remaining cabinet ministers refuse to accept it, they should step aside and stand aside.

Hu Wei, Wang Zhi and the others didn't insist, and followed closely to express their orders.

In the minister's heart, he secretly admired the new king for his quality.Luo Tong is capable, and according to his qualifications, he is long enough to be the Minister of the Ministry of War.

As a result, when the Supreme Emperor first came to the throne, Luo Tong was already a doctor in the Ministry of War, only one level away from the servant.As a result, more than ten years later, Luo Tong was demoted to one level instead, and became a member of the Ministry of War.

This is only because Luo Tong went to prison in the early years of Zhengtong.

But in the orthodox dynasty of Zhu Qizhen, there is nothing shameful about going to prison.

As far as the important ministers in front of me are concerned, Hu Wei was imprisoned during the orthodox dynasty, Wang Zhi was imprisoned during the orthodox dynasty, and Yu Qian was also imprisoned during the orthodox dynasty.Even Wang Ji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War who fought outside, was imprisoned during the orthodox dynasty.

Anyway, the Supreme Emperor likes to send ministers to prison. Anyway, everyone has been in prison, so don't laugh at anyone else.

Therefore, although the current new emperor likes to sneer at ministers, the ministers can barely accept it. After all, they are not afraid of ignorance, but they are afraid of comparing goods.

Compared with Taishanghuang who threw people into prison at every turn, Xinjun just likes to sneer and sneer, and he doesn't do anything, just scolds there.In front of the Taishanghuang, the new monarch is really a small witch.

The other ministers were all thinking about Luo Tong, but Yu Qian was keenly aware of the new emperor's wrongdoing: the emperor had publicly expressed his extreme dissatisfaction with Yang Hong many times, but he never took any action against Yang Hong, nor dismissed him from office. He didn't question his crimes, and didn't cut his military power, just wasted like this.

What is the reason for this?The emperor is not a stupid person, why would he do such an illogical thing.If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and Yu Qian wants to go home to find his staff again.

Seeing that no one was talking, Zhu Qiyu asked, "It's all right, why don't we leave?"

Yu Qian came back to his senses, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the native official and a hundred households Chen Fuzong said: It is appropriate to choose an elephant, practice the method of elephant warfare, and build a saddle and armor for it. I am willing to lead the army to ride on it." Elephant, use it to break through the bandits."

Zhu Qiyu was stunned when he heard the words: why are all the elephant riders out.

"Where did this elephant come from?"

Yu Qian replied: "There is an elephant house in the Yumajian. As for whether Chen Fuzong has raised it in private, I don't know."

"Okay, then let Chen Fuzong go to the left guard of Wuxiang under the Yuma Supervisor to serve as a hundred households, and let him take full responsibility for training the elephants. Let the Ministry of Industry build the armor for the elephants according to his requirements. When the time comes, I will personally Watch the battle at Xizhimen to see how he breaks through the formation and kills the enemy."

"Yes, I have taken the order. There is one more thing. The inner court wants to organize a pure army of hundreds of people to participate in the battle to defend the capital. I dare not do it alone, so I ask His Majesty to make a decision."

"Oh, I see. The eunuchs in the inner court are willing to kill the enemy and serve the country. They have good intentions. But let the army do these things."

"Yes, Wei Chen takes orders."

Zhu Qiyu got up and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't bury your head in the pile of documents all day. Let's go. Today I will take everyone to inspect the defense of the capital."

Xinjun was very enthusiastic, and the ministers had no choice but to follow Xinjun to Xizhimen.

Zhu Qiyu led the ministers to climb up and down Xizhimen, walked around the city wall twice, and went outside Xizhimen together to inspect the newly built fortifications.

The outside of Xizhimen is spacious and flat. It is the gate often used by the emperor and prince Xungui to enter and leave the capital.

Zhu Qiyu led the ministers along the main road to a place hundreds of feet away from the city gate, then turned around and faced Xizhimen with a serious face.

The ministers knew that this was the emperor's new idea, so they all listened attentively.

Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand and pointed to the left: "It's right here. When the war is over, I will build a large-scale Jingguan for the emperors, vassals, nobles, ministers of civil and military affairs, and the people of Ming Dynasty who enter and leave the capital to pay their respects.

Before viewing the capital, I will also set up a stele of meritorious service, engraving the entire process of defending the capital, as well as the names of the soldiers who made contributions and those who died in battle, so that Ming Dynasty can commemorate it forever. "

As soon as Zhu Qiyu's words fell, a group of old foxes immediately grasped the point: the new monarch wants the emperor who goes in and out of Beijing to pay their respects to the capital, isn't this aimed at the Supreme Emperor?When the Taishanghuang returned to Beijing, he just went to see Beijing outside the city gate?
Before the minister answered, Zhu Qiyu pointed to the right side again: "In contrast, on my right hand side, I want to build a large altar, and I will set up memorial tablets for the soldiers who died in battles such as civil forts, and enshrine them on it, so that the soldiers who died in battle will be enshrined. Soldiers will enjoy incense and sacrifice forever, and let future generations remember this national humiliation forever."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the ministers changed.

Although the ministers didn't believe that the new king could chop off enough heads to build the temple, it didn't matter whether they built the temple or not. If there were enough heads, they would be built, and if there were not enough heads, they would be pulled down. The new king was interested, and the ministers didn't stop him.

But building an altar for the fallen soldiers of the Tumu Fort is different. This is tantamount to putting the failure of the Supreme Emperor on the table, and publicly slapping his face in front of all nations and billions of people in Kyushu.And it is a continuous slap in the face. As long as this altar exists for one day, the face slap will last for one day.

Zhu Qiyu added: "Under the altar and by the side of the road, a stele should also be erected. The process of building the fort, the list of honorable men, ministers of civil and military affairs, and soldiers who died in battle are all engraved on it to warn future generations."

The faces of Hu Wei, Wang Zhi and others were even more ugly. The new king insisted on denying the Supreme Emperor, and today he was forcing the ministers to stand in line.

If the minister agrees to build an altar, he will completely offend the Supreme Emperor.

If they do not agree to build an altar, it is tantamount to refusing to stand in line with the new king. Needless to say, they will definitely be purged by the new king.

Contrary to the expectations of Hu Wei and Wang Zhi, the two loyal confidants of the Supreme Emperor, the chief assistant, Chen Xun, knelt down without thinking for too long, clearly expressing his approval of the new emperor.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Wen knelt down and praised loudly: "Build an altar to comfort the soldiers, and build a Beijing to frighten the barbarians. Your Majesty has the world in mind, sympathizes with all people, helps each other with strength and softness, and uses both kindness and power. He is a truly wise and powerful king." Also, I am grateful and admirable, and I am willing to do my best to help His Majesty achieve the prosperity of China."

When Hu Wei and Wang Zhi heard the words, they were extremely shocked and astonished: Is this Wang Wen crazy? He even said such words as 'achieve a prosperous and prosperous world'.What is ZTE? Only the decline of the predecessors can be called ZTE by later generations.This is a complete negation of the Supreme Emperor. Is Wang Wen planning to follow the new emperor and go all the way to the dark side?
What surprised Hu Wei and Wang Zhi even more was that Yu Qian also knelt down and replied loudly: "What Wang Zongxian said is true, and I am willing to do my best to assist Your Majesty in the prosperity of Zhongxing."

Shang Lu and Peng Shi were young and new to the cabinet, kneeling or not kneeling was not that important.

But the other five were all important pillars of the imperial court, and three of them knelt down.This is really something that Hu Yan and Wang Zhi could not have imagined in their dreams.

Now, the momentum of the New Monarch faction unexpectedly overwhelmed the Shanghuang faction for no apparent reason. Hu Wei and Wang Zhi, who were the Supreme Emperor's loyal confidantes, were completely in trouble.
