Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 49

Zhu Qiyu will not compromise with the ministers, the queen mother will never respect, and the queen will never stand.Don't ask, if you ask me, I will tell you confidently: I am taking the throne temporarily, and I will return it to the elder brother soon, so there is no need to respect the queen mother and establish a queen.

Seeing that the ministers were still entangled, Zhu Qiyu threw out three billowing thunders: "First, I don't live in the imperial palace; No., continue to use the orthodox year name."

The attention of the ministers was immediately drawn away, and they no longer cared about the empress dowager.After all, these three requests made by Zhu Qiyu are too crazy, and have exceeded the limit of the ministers' acceptance.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu didn't really want to be so radical, but adopted a roundabout strategy, first proposing to lift the roof.After arguing with the ministers, they compromised with each other and happily agreed to open the two skylights.

The ministers didn't know Zhu Qiyu's careful thinking, and thought that this absurd prince was going to come for real.Even the second assistant Chen Xun, who was always very polite to Zhu Qiyu, almost burst into tears, and firmly retorted:

"We really can't accept His Highness's thoughts, and we absolutely dare not obey the imperial edict. How can an emperor not live in the palace, and how can an emperor not change his year name, His Highness is really hard for us ministers."

Zhu Qiyu replied with a serious face: "I will be able to welcome my eldest brother back next year. Isn't it just right for my eldest brother to reset and continue to use the orthodox year name. Why change the year name properly?"

Anyway, Zhu Qiyu was bitten to death. As long as the orthodox emperor returns, he will give way and go back to continue to be the vassal king.

In this way, Zhu Qiyu can advance or retreat.Either the ministers were forced to collectively declare that Zhu Qiyu would always be the emperor, even if Zhu Qizhen came back, he could not be reset.Either the ministers will accept Zhu Qiyu's reinstatement theory, so that Zhu Qiyu will have sufficient reasons not to go to the palace.

In this way, there is no need to be threatened by Queen Mother Sun for personal safety in the palace.

Anyway, Zhu Qiyu really couldn't understand. In the Forbidden City, there are lakes without lakes, mountains without mountains, little water, and small gardens. What is there to be nostalgic for?

However, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were as bewildered as they were. They insisted on living in the Forbidden City and refused to leave.Then I lived to be 30 or [-] years old, and I lined up for Shangbuyu, Shangdajian, and Shangbeng.

There is one thing to say, on this point, the emperors of my Qing Dynasty lived a transparent life, isn't the Summer Palace beautiful?Is Yuanmingyuan not good?Isn't Changchun Garden fragrant?Isn't Jingmingyuan sweet?Living in the garden, I am happy and live a long life.Well, it's not about competing with the Forbidden City.

Zhu Qiyu wandered away, imagining the beauty of his new Qi Palace there, and gave the ministers present time to react.

Among the important ministers, Chen Xun, Yu Qian, and Wang Wen stated on the spot that Zhu Qiyu didn't have to return his position, and he would be dragged down to death.Hu Wei and Wang Zhi were silent and refused to express their views.

The other ministers are also in twos and threes, sevens and eights, some support it to death, and some are unwilling to express their views, forming a sharp disagreement.

Fortunately, no one is a real tiger, who dares to stand up and directly express his position, asking Zhu Qiyu to return his position.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, signaling the ministers to be quiet, and then said: "Okay, you can go back and discuss these matters slowly. Now I will issue another edict: Jin will make Huichang Uncle Sun Zhong the Marquis of Huichang, and canonize Qian Xiong as the Marquis of Huichang." Uncle Xinxiang, canonized Zhou Neng as Uncle Qingyun.

Let the cabinet go to draw up the edict immediately, and Yu Shangshu will stay for lunch, and accompany me to inspect the city defense in the afternoon, and the rest of the people should leave. "

If the ministers were granted amnesty, they would resign one after another.As for Zhu Qiyu's edict just now, everyone knows that Queen Mother Sun will definitely support it with both hands.Civil and military officials will definitely not be able to stop it, so they don't bother to oppose it.

Zhu Qiyu suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly called out: "Wait, wait, a few ministers, don't leave, I have something else to say."

Hu Wei, Wang Zhi and the others had no choice but to turn around again, with bitter faces, waiting for the absurd prince to continue going crazy.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I need some helpers to sort out the paperwork for me. Let's take a look at the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites, and submit a copy of the list of Jinshi for the last three sessions to me. Thank you for your help."

Hu Wei and Wang Zhi glanced at each other, both of them were helpless, this king of Qi thought of one thing after another, his thinking was jumping around, and there was no pattern to be found.

Fortunately, this is not a big deal. The two old ministers handed over their hands and asked, "Do you have anything else to do, Your Highness?"

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "It's gone, it's gone, why don't all the ministers stay and have a meal together?"

How could Hu Wei and others dare to leave in a hurry.

Yu Qian looked left and right, and found that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were the only ones left.It's over now, and I have to face this absurd and strange prince alone.

The last time I had a secret conversation with this Highness, there was the little princess next to me anyway, and the atmosphere was not too awkward.This time there are only two people left, Yu Qian doesn't know what to talk about.

Just when Yu Qian wanted to talk about the defense of the capital, Zhu Qiyu spoke first: "Yu Shangshu is still alone now? Is there a concubine at home?"

Yu Qian was a little speechless when he heard the words, the prince in front of him really thought about it.

It is impossible not to answer, Yu Qian can only reply helplessly: "After the death of my wife, I have no intention of remarrying, and I have never taken in concubines. There are only one son and one daughter in the family, and they depend on each other for life."

"Oh, how can this be done, there is no woman in charge of the house, so it must be a mess, how can Yu Shangshu handle government affairs with peace of mind.

Besides, our great Minister of the Ministry of War is so alone, so alone, for outsiders to see, it's not ridiculous.

Those who know say that Yu Shangshu values ​​love and righteousness, but those who don't know think that our Emperor Ming is so mean that the important officials of the court can't even afford a concubine. "

Yu Qian had no choice but to reply: "Now that the country is in crisis, how can I have the heart to take a concubine. Besides, the minister is half a hundred years old, and his family is poor. Taking a concubine rashly is also harming a good girl who is in her prime."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about the national crisis, anyway, there are important officials in the court making life miserable, and I feel uneasy.

It just so happens that our little concubine is a nosy one, so I'll ask her to help you find a concubine, and I'm sure it will be done properly for you.You don't need to worry about anything, just do your job well as Minister of the Ministry of War. "

Yu Qian was about to decline, but Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "That's it, don't talk anymore. Let's go, let's go eat."

After all, Zhu Qiyu dragged Yu Qian into the side hall, where the food was already set.There were two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table, but Zhu Qiyu did not sit down, but said to Xiao Lingxi who was waiting on the side:

"Lingxi, when Yu Shangshu eats at our house, it is logical that I have to accompany her, but the concubine mother has just moved into the mansion today, so I have to go to eat with her concubine.

So you can accompany me today, don't neglect Yu Shangshu.After dinner, you arrange a guest room for Yu Shangshu to rest for an hour, and I will come back after dinner. "

After ordering, Zhu Qiyu smiled at Qian again: "I'm sorry Yu Shangshu, it stands to reason that you are a distinguished guest in my house, even if I don't accompany you, you should let the princess accompany you.

It's just that our old concubine just moved out of the palace today, and this is the first meal in the mansion at noon, so it's unreasonable not to accompany me and the princess.

Please take care of Yu Shangshu, I will let Miss Lingxi accompany you, if you need anything, just tell her.

After dinner, take a rest in the guest room. In the afternoon, let's go to Cheng Guogong's mansion first, arrest Cheng Guogong, and then go to inspect the Nine Gates together. "

As soon as Yu Qian heard that he was going to toss and become the Duke of the State again, he felt chills in his heart.Cooperating with the crazy His Royal Highness King Qi in front of him, he tried to find a breakthrough in the nobles.

That would be bad, after all, there are all kinds of birds in the forest.There are dozens of all kinds of dignified princes, marquises, and uncles in Ming Dynasty.

As long as you test it back and forth, no matter how bad Qi Wang is, no matter how unpromising, there will always be one or two idiots Xungui who are willing to pledge their allegiance.

Yu Qian didn't dare to think too much, so he had to reply: "Filial piety is beyond the sky. Your highness should go down to serve the old concubine. How dare you delay your highness. You just go, I just wait for your highness here."

"Okay, you guys eat, I'm leaving."

After all, Zhu Qiyu went to eat with Concubine Wu Xian, leaving Yu Qian standing there even more embarrassed.

　I want to give away my daughter again, do you have any opinions? If there are many objections, I will not give it away.
