Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 178
Zhu Qiyu replied with regret: "Unfortunately, I didn't catch up with that time. If I had become emperor three years earlier, I would have returned the title to you."

The eldest princess burst into tears when she heard this.His only son, Guo Zhen, died in the 12th year of Zhengtong.

Earlier in the same year, Guo Xuan, Marquis of Wuding at that time, died of illness, and the eldest princess immediately wrote a letter requesting that the title be returned to her son.There was even a British prince, Zhang Fu, who stood up to fight the eldest princess and supported Guo Xuan's son to seize the title.

In the end, it was dragged on like this until Guo Zhen died of illness, and Wu Dinghou's title was in vain, and there was no conclusion for three years.

As for the origin of the title dispute, it is even more annoying to think about it.

The first Marquis Wu Ding died in the first year of Yongle. At that time, the eldest son of the concubine, the husband of the eldest princess, had passed away. It is reasonable that the eldest grandson should inherit the title.But the eldest grandson of the Hou Mansion, Guo Zhen, the son of the eldest princess, is only 11 years old and must wait until he is an adult before he can become a prince.

Such a procrastination, procrastination out of the accident.After Guo Zhen became an adult, the Marquis of Wuding's mansion "stopped the attack with incidents".

Until Renzong succeeded to the throne, on the Erfang side, because Guo Xuan's sister became Renzong's imperial concubine, his younger brother Yijiegui and Guo Xuan were named Wu Dinghou.From this, the Marquis turned directly to Erfang.

As a result, a century-long war of attacking nobles was triggered between the first house and the second house of the Marquis of Wuding.

So the problem lies with Concubine Renzong. Without this concubine, there might not be so many things.

This is why many nobles are vying to marry Zhu Qiyu, because marriage is really effective and really easy to use.

After sighing for a while, the eldest princess said to Zhu Qiyu: "With the emperor's words, my son knows it, and he can rest in peace.

It's just that the title of Marquis Wuding is still in vain, what does the emperor want to do? "

Zhu Qiyu can now experience some of the pleasure of being an emperor, and the dignified eldest princess has been unable to handle things for decades, but she can decide with one word. What a monstrous power this is.

Of course, before making a final decision, conditions must be raised and a deal must be negotiated.

Feelings belong to feelings, interests belong to interests.Zhu Qiyu sorted out his thoughts, then smiled at the eldest princess: "It's okay to return the title, I have already thought about the name for the old ancestor.

Let's give my grandpa a way to give back to him. "

"how do I say this?"

The eldest princess was dumbfounded when she heard that, the new monarch was indeed as legendary, absurd and elusive.

Zhu Qiyu laughed and said: "My own grandfather ordered Guo Guifei's younger brother to take the title of Marquis of Wuding in the name of being kind to his relatives. Then I can follow suit and order Uncle Guo to take the title of Marquis of Wuding in the name of being kind to his relatives. "

"Be kind to foreign relatives? But Guo Chang is not a foreign relative? Don't be afraid of the emperor's jokes. My grandson has a hard time, and now he is 29 years old and has no children under his knees. Where does this kindness to foreign relatives come from?"

"Uncle Guo is 29 years old this year. It is not too much to have a 14-year-old daughter."

"14-year-old daughter?"

Zhu Qiyu sighed heavily, and said helplessly: "Don't be afraid of the old ancestor's jokes, my daughter-in-laws are all orphans. The others are fine. If my mother and concubine love them, they can keep their glory and wealth for the rest of their lives.

It's just that my little princess, she wants to give me a son to inherit the family business.But she doesn't have the support of her uncles and brothers, nor her family background, so I'm worried. It's hard for her to sit in the position of princess. Sooner or later, she will be swallowed alive.

Now she is not yet ready, and people are not in a hurry to attack her.But when she is pregnant with a child, can people allow her to give birth to my son in peace?Even if he was lucky enough to give birth to his son-in-law, would he be able to support him? "

At this point, the eldest princess understood. The emperor said that Guo Chang needed a 14-year-old daughter, and at the same time said that the little princess was about to reach her age. The meaning of the period was self-evident.

Zhu Qiyu continued to complain: "The old ancestor is the princess of the Taizu, who has witnessed the ups and downs of my Ming Dynasty. You don't need to tell me that the empresses of the Ming Dynasty are basically born in the family of generals, and they have a lot of connections with nobles and generals. Ten thousand threads of connections naturally represent the interests of nobles and military commanders, and only in this way can they sit firmly in the back seat and ensure that their own sons can smoothly ascend to the throne.

Although the princess and I are not interested in the position of queen, we also want to have a son.

With the love of our ancestors, we should be able to understand our desire to keep our sons, right? "

The Eldest Princess nodded: "It is very difficult for our eldest son to be an heir. I can understand the emperor's feelings. I just want to ask a straightforward question. Please don't be angry when the emperor hears this."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "It's all right, my ancestor."

"According to your father, you and Qi Zhen are also struggling with the ownership of the throne between the eldest house and the second house. You, the head of the second house, became the emperor, and the eldest son of the eldest house over there became the prince.

Succession from father to son, in the future you want to pass on the throne to your son, this is something that everyone has tacitly understood, and I have no objection.

It's just that it's a seizure, right?I want to know, how does the emperor plan to solve the problems of morality and etiquette? "

Zhu Qiyu glanced at his mother and concubine, and the concubine said: "Old ancestor, once the war in front of me is over, I plan to adopt Qi Yu to Empress Hu."

With just one sentence, the three guests were so startled that they almost sat down on the ground. The Eldest Princess asked incredulously, "You mean to adopt Qi Yu to Immortal Master Jingci?"

The concubine heard the words and immediately retorted: "No, no, there has never been an immortal master Jingci, only Queen Hu. It won't be long before Qi Yu will pursue posthumous titles, temples, and mausoleums for his aunt.

Qi Yu was adopted by Empress Hu, and he was the only empress' son, so naturally there was no such thing as seizing the empress.

As for Jianshen, he is the eldest son of the eldest son of the concubine, and he can be a prince with peace of mind in the future. We guarantee that he will live as well as your own brother, the king of Shu, and will never be harmed in the slightest. "

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess asked curiously: "The only son of the empress? Are you saying that you want to deny the status of the Empress Dowager Sun?"

The concubine also asked curiously: "Shouldn't the person who kills his wife with a concubine be denied?"

The eldest princess was so choked that she had nothing to say, but she did not object to the concubine and the emperor's approach from the bottom of her heart, because on the issue of Marquis Wuding attacking the prince, the eldest princess put Renzong, Xuanzong, Zhengtong, Empress Dowager Sun, and Sanyang on the issue of the prince. Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu all hated it, and wished that they would all suffer.

What the eldest princess is concerned about is the feasibility of this plan.

Zhu Qiyu opened his mouth and made a summary: "Old Ancestor, we didn't lie to you, we told you everything about what we will do in the future.

What we want is for Uncle Guo to recognize the princess as a daughter and help her gain the recognition and support of the Xungui Group.All we can do is to return the Marquis to the long house.

The pros and cons of the pros and cons, you old man, you can weigh it yourself, if you can do it, if you can’t do it, forget it, we can’t force it on you.

Or if you have any questions, you can ask them.We know everything and say everything. "

"No, no, I have no doubts."

The eldest princess waved her hand quickly, but she didn't dare to ask any more. If she asked something scary again, she would have to worry that the emperor would send someone to silence her.

Furthermore, the eldest princess has already agreed in her heart, as long as she can get her title back, she will do whatever it takes.What's more, recognizing the princess as a daughter is a lucrative business, an opportunity that others can't even ask for, why refuse it.

Zhu Qiyu added on the side: "We are very serious, as long as Guo Shu recognizes the princess as a daughter, we will act completely as our own daughter and son-in-law.

My concubine and I really wanted to salute in public, kneel down and kowtow to Uncle Guo, it was definitely not just for fun. "

When Guo Chang heard this, he immediately stood up in fright.

The eldest princess smiled at Guo Chang: "With a good-natured great-granddaughter like the princess, anyway, I am 1 willing. It's just that you and your wife recognize your daughter, so you can make up your own mind.

Neither the emperor nor I force you, you can accept it or not.No matter what you choose, I firmly support you.

But as long as you recognize it, no matter what happens in the future, you will live and die together, and your fate will be connected.Wealth is your blessing; if you have trouble, don't complain.

You choose the path yourself, and you have no regrets. Whether it is a blessing or a curse in the future, you will bear it yourself. "

The eldest princess said this because this incident was not absolutely accident-free.The battle for the throne is full of risks, and it's not that Zhu Qiyu, who is sitting on the emperor's seat, will definitely win to the end.

Guo Chang and Yishi looked at each other, each lost in thought.The others didn't urge them, just waiting for the two to decide their own destiny.
