Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 98

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Zhu Qiyu woke up from a sweet dream, and was not in a hurry to get up, but was thinking about things while playing with the beauty's jade body.

Suddenly, Zhu Qiyu slapped himself on the forehead, smiled at the beautiful woman in his arms, and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, little princess, I remembered two things and I need you to do them for me. I always felt that something was off the table last night." , until now I finally remembered."

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said, "My husband, you don't need to be sorry. As slaves, it's only natural for us to work for our master. If you need something, just ask for it."

"Okay, then I'm not going to be polite. Before the hospital, I came up with a wicked idea to apply various poisons to the arrows to deal with Oirat.

I asked them to send a sample of each poison they purchased.

When the time comes, after you receive it, lead someone to study it carefully, and make a detailed record of the poison's category, formula, and usage.

We can take this opportunity to have a preliminary understanding of the poisoning methods of the Tai Hospital, so that we can know ourselves and our enemies.You can also pay attention to the folk doctors who have a good reputation, preferably outside the capital, with a clean family background, let's spend a lot of money to invite a few to come.

If they don't want to come, just throw gold at them until they come.It's about the lives of our family, so don't worry about money. "

Lin Xiangyu nodded: "Understood, husband, what about the other matter?"

"You called Wang Qin and Zhang Yong. They used to work in the middle study. Now that I have initially controlled the cabinet, I don't have to let all my cronies stay in the middle study.

In the future, Wang Qin will be appointed as the seal of the Bell and Drum Division, and Zhang Yong will be appointed as the seal of the Xixin Division. "

After thinking for a while, Zhu Qiyu added: "Call Wang Cheng and Shu Liang, comfort them, and tell them not to worry. When the war is over, I will arrange for Wang Cheng to be the eunuch and arrange for Shu Liang to go. The eunuch is appointed as the supervisor and the seal eunuch.

Let the four of them work hard, and in the future, they will all have a share in the position of Supervisor of Rites and Bingbi. "

Recently, Zhu Qiyu figured it out. Although the four little eunuchs of his own may have been placed in the Prince's Mansion at the beginning, but as soon as Zhu Qizhen in history was restored, he hurriedly chopped off these four eunuchs.So it is really unlikely that they will rebel, and they should use it or use it.

Lin Xiangyu asked: "Understood, is there any husband?"

"Yes, and I haven't finished the second thing. Wang Zhen has two cronies who rely heavily on him, one is Mao Gui and the other is Wang Changsui.

As a country supervisor, when I was in the Fengtianmen court meeting for the first time, the ministers beat Ma Shun to death, and then they wanted to kill Mao Gui and Wang Changsui. The two of them had already stepped into the gate of hell. pulled back.

Although they saved their lives, they were exempt from capital punishment and living crimes were inevitable. Later, they were all demoted to the Charity Department to burn firewood.

After you let Zhang Yong do the seal of the treasurer, take care of them secretly, but don't say anything, these two people will be of great use to me in the future.You have to warn Zhang Yong very solemnly about this matter, and you must not ruin my event. "

Lin Xiangyu heard the words, and asked weakly: "Can I ask what is the big deal?"

Zhu Qiyu kissed his little princess, and replied with a smile: "Of course, we are a husband and wife, we share weal and woe, there is nothing I can't tell you.

After the Supreme Emperor returns, I will induce an eunuch named Cao Jixiang to lead troops to rebel. During this process, I need Mao Gui and Wang Changsui to repay my life-saving grace. "

Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu immediately stretched out her slender hands from under the quilt, and was about to press Zhu Qiyu's forehead.

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly grabbed the beautiful woman's catkin, stuffed it back into the bed, and scolded: "What are you doing, okay, I'm not crazy, and I don't have a fever."

Lin Xiangyu looked at her husband with pity, and teased: "The eunuch led the troops to rebel? It's really hard for the husband to think about it. Even if I am a little girl, I know that if the eunuch of Ming Dynasty rebelled, there would be ten deaths and no life. Those who have been punished by the Nine Clans. Even if they get a crazy eunuch, they will not lead troops to rebel."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "Will the princess dare to bet?"

"Okay, my husband said what is the bet?"

Facing the inevitable situation, Zhu Qiyu whispered his request in the ear of the little princess.

Lin Xiangyu blushed with shame when she heard the words, but she still replied unconvinced: "Okay, I will obey my husband. If my husband loses, I will serve as a horse for my slave family in front of my sisters."

"make a deal."

So the couple made a high-five oath, and Lin Xiangyu asked curiously, "Even if the eunuch wants to rebel, how does my husband know that it must be the eunuch named Cao Jixiang?"

Zhu Qiyu explained with a smile: "Among the Taishang Huang's cronies, the eunuchs in the second echelon of the inner court who can command troops and supervise the army are Liu Yongcheng, Cao Jixiang, and Guo Jing.

Guo Jing is now in the prison, and he will definitely not be able to get out alive.Liu Yongcheng is the seal of the imperial horse supervisor. He has always been clean and upright, and he is already a veteran of the Five Dynasties, so there is no need to rebel.

The only one left is Cao Jixiang. He is now supervising the army at Ningyang Hou, and together he suppresses the civil unrest in the southeast.He was the only one who supervised the army for a long time and secretly recruited a large number of Tatar officials. He had both the motive and the ability to rebel. "

Lin Xiangyu replied with a bitter face: "Oh, my husband, you will continue to induce Cao Jixiang and create conditions for him to rebel. In this way, he may really rebel, and the slave family will be tricked by him."

"That's right, that's how things will be at that time: After the Supreme Emperor returned to Beijing, he secretly contacted his confidant eunuch Cao Jixiang, intending to restore the throne.

One night late at night, Cao Jixiang led the privately recruited dignitaries to raise troops and entered the Forbidden City, intending to control the imperial city, hold the empress dowager hostage, and force the empress dowager to issue a decree, ordering the emperor to return to power and regain power.

As for how to deal with it later, there are too many options.Basically, we can characterize whatever we want.

But no matter what, the Queen Mother and the Taishanghuang will never try to stand up again. "

Lin Xiangyu nodded again and again: "Okay, I understand what my husband said. Don't worry, the work that should be done by my husband will be done obediently for my husband."

Zhu Qiyu kissed the beautiful woman's pretty face again: "Princess is really a virtuous wife, I will reward you well later. Now you can sleep a little longer, I'm going to talk to the ministers."

……

After breakfast, Zhu Qiyu came to the West Flower Hall, sat down on the soft couch, first asked Bai Gui to bring the memorial, and then ordered people to call the ministers to come in.

So when Chen Xun came in, he saw the emperor turning over the book, which was a rare and new thing.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu just flipped through it to see if the civil and military officials listened to his own words and got rid of the lameness of rambling in the playbook.

Seeing that all the important ministers came in and stood up, Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "In the future, in the process of discussing politics, I will talk about my affairs first, and then you will play one by one. When everything is finished, let's leave. Don't waste your time."

The ministers had no objections, so Zhu Qiyu continued: "The first thing is to ask the Ministry of War to instruct the guards on the defense line from Yanghe, Datong, to Zijingguan, and now the battle is about to start.

If Wala held the Supreme Emperor hostage and knocked on the door, he would never leave the city with the switch.

The guards everywhere can go out of the city to meet the enemy, I don't blame them.But if they called the door because of the Supreme Emperor, they would switch and control the enemy, or they would abandon the city and flee, or they would go out of the city to provide information and food and supplies to Wala.

I'm sorry, the offender will be beheaded immediately.The whole family, the men, the old and the young, were exiled for three thousand miles, and the women were sent to the Jiaofang Division. "

Yu Qian replied: "I am under orders, dare to ask Your Majesty, just to instruct the guards in the direction of Datong and Zijingguan, don't you need to send a message to the guards in Xuanfu and Huailai?"

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Let Prince Yang do whatever he wants, he can do whatever he likes, I'm too lazy to talk to him anymore.

The second thing is to be done by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War. In every street and every square in the capital, a battle report announcement point will be set up.Send special officials to be in charge, to announce the latest military report to the soldiers and civilians, and to truthfully tell the people in the capital what happened on the front line.

And it is the same as my requirement for you to write memorials, the officials in charge of preaching must speak concisely, clearly and clearly, and speak words that ordinary people can understand.I will send my personal guards to listen in. If anyone is full of knowledge, and the whole thing is covered with clouds and fog, I will go home and pick up the child. "

A group of ministers looked at each other when they heard the words, and the emperor came up with something absurd and strange.Although everyone can understand the meaning of the emperor, it is not a profound thing for this official to set up some preaching, but has anyone done this before?

Zhu Qiyu's logic is also very simple:
If I don't promote it, how do the people know that the Supreme Emperor is calling at the front line?
If I don't publicize it, how do the common people know that the new king is coming to the battlefield in person, commanding the army to fight the enemy bravely?

If I don't promote it, how can there be a comparison, how can there be any harm?
If I don't promote it, how can I build momentum?

The important ministers present were all extremely shrewd people, and after a while, they roughly guessed the emperor's thoughts.But no one objected, because yesterday everyone had already boarded Xinjun's thief ship.

Since the new monarch wants to build a Beijing temple and an altar, everyone has already agreed to such a big move.What's the point of opposing such small actions as preaching about the battle situation on the front line.

Anyway, the roof has already been taken off, and if we continue to quarrel over whether to open the windows, isn't that purely boring?

Seeing that the ministers had all obeyed the edict, Zhu Qiyu made a gesture of please, indicating that he had finished speaking and the ministers could do their work.
