Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter Six

Hearing Zhu Qiyu's words, Yu Shan was so frightened that he quickly replied: "His Royal Highness, the families of the two ministers are both small and small, how can they have the ability to participate in such important events?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and waved his hands: "Don't be nervous, gentlemen, I was just joking. Anyway, if I ascend the throne, I will definitely restart the government-run Western trade.

If the two gentlemen disagree, they can now find another way out.I respect the choices of the two gentlemen, and I will never force them. "

Yu Gang and Yu Shan looked at each other, pondered for a while, and then replied: "I will follow Your Highness to the death."

Zhu Qiyu nodded in satisfaction.Turning to look at Cheng Jing again, he asked with a smile, "Mr. Cheng also talks about his own views."

Cheng Jing replied: "Of course I swear to follow Your Highness to the death. It's just that the Empress Dowager is more inclined to King Xiang."

Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "This Uncle Xiang Wang is just an old fox, his ability to be wise and protect himself is really not as strong as ordinary people."

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Zhu Qiyu leaned heavily on the back, and said weakly: "Enter Baoding Mansion, three gentlemen, pay attention, let's buy some servants."

The three of Cheng Jing were taken aback when they heard the words, and thought that His Highness's thoughts were jumping too much. He was still talking about the throne on his front foot, but suddenly he was talking about buying a servant on his back foot.

Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes and waved his hands.Cheng Jing stopped the carriage, and the three got out of the carriage and rode their horses.

Zhu Qiyu waited for the three of them to walk away before he sighed heavily.

After testing each other with his three subordinate officials for a long time, Zhu Qiyu soon became exhausted.Especially Cheng Jing and Yu Shan, one is Jinshi and the other is Juren, they are also old foxes who are monkey spirits.

Zhu Qiyu also rehearsed silently in his heart for two days, and then on the last day before entering Baoding Mansion, he had a mutual test with these three spirits.

It's just that in actual operation, there is nothing left to do.As for whether these people are loyal to him or not, Zhu Qiyu still can't tell.

It's just that Zhu Qiyu understands one thing very well: Emperor Jingtai in history was originally a man with normal fertility, but he became the throne at the age of 21 and reigned for eight years.This period is the time when a man's fertility is strongest, but he can't bear children.

If there is no conspiracy in this, I am afraid only a fool whose head was kicked by a donkey can believe it.

According to Zhu Qiyu's current thinking: this kind of thing may not be easily accomplished by the Queen Mother alone, so it is ninety-nine percent of the time that there are traitors among the old people in the hidden mansion of Prince Yi's Mansion.

Either there is a problem with the officials of the palace, or there is a problem with the eunuch, or there is a problem with the princess and all the concubines.

So according to Zhu Qiyu's plan, the first step is to wash his own woman first, and then wash the eunuchs and maids around him.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu went to Baoding Mansion, a relatively large mansion this time, to buy a few good servants along the way, so as to retrain a group of people around him.

Thinking about his thoughts, Zhu Qiyu fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but when the carriage stopped suddenly, Zhu Qiyu suddenly woke up.

After a while, Zhu Qiyu stretched, sat up, and opened the curtains.It was already dark outside, and at some point, it began to rain lightly.

Cheng Jing, who was not far away, rushed over and said with a soft smile, "My lord, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems that it can't stop for a while. There is a small abandoned temple in front of you. Do you think we will spend the night here Bar.

It's less than ten miles away from Baoding Mansion, so we'll be there in a matter of hours tomorrow morning. "

"can."

Zhu Qiyu readily agreed, after all, he was the only one with a carriage.You can't patronize your own comfort, but let all the subordinates ride on the horse and get wet in the rain.

So a group of people entered the temple, placed the carriage and luggage horses in the courtyard, and then entered the Buddhist hall together to shelter from the rain.

Even Zhu Qiyu himself entered the Buddha Hall. Although it is more comfortable to sleep in a carriage, firstly, he cannot let the guards stand in the rain to protect him. Secondly, these people are his cronies in name at least, and he has to express The attitude of sharing weal and woe with everyone.

Entering the hall, the guards found a group of beggars already there, Cheng Jing rushed over to ask for instructions: "My lord, look, do you want to drive these beggars out?"

Zhu Qiyu gave Cheng Jing a sideways look, and cursed in his heart: What an old fox!
Our noble prince was cursing in his heart, but he said with a smile on his mouth: "Give them some of our dry food, and then each give them a tael of silver. You express my apology to them for me, just say that we interrupted the night Just go and let them never mind.

Then let them rest on the east side of the hall, and let's rest on the west side of the hall, so that everyone doesn't disturb each other. "

Cheng Jing quickly agreed, and within a short time, he made the arrangements inside and out properly.

Then he brought another little beggar to Zhu Qiyu.

This little beggar is eloquent, kneeling and kowtowing, while expressing his gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness, I am a pariah who is so dirty, I wanted to come here and kowtow to thank you, but I was afraid that I would offend you. So I recommend this villain. Kowtow to the nobleman on behalf of everyone."

Zhu Qiyu personally went up to help the little beggar up, smiled kindly and said: "There are people who are dressed in beautiful clothes but their hearts are filthy; there are people who are dressed in dirty clothes but their hearts are pure and kind, so I never dare to judge people by their appearance.

As for small favors, it is nothing more than a little effort for me, so you don't have to take it to heart.What's more, you lived here first, and we have disturbed you here. "

After some chatter, Zhu Qiyu asked the little beggar's name, and asked about the customs, before letting him go to rest.

Everyone also packed up their bedding and slept on the ground without talking all night.

Early the next morning, when the wind stopped and the rain stopped, after breakfast, the people in Prince Yi's Mansion packed their bags and prepared to continue on the road.

Zhu Qiyu didn't sleep well last night, and at this time she was feeling drowsy and her eyelids were clenched.So as soon as he got into the carriage, without even looking at it, he lifted the quilt on the soft couch, lay on his side inside, and prepared to sleep back into the cage.

Originally, she was used to sleeping on a soft couch, but Zhu Qiyu suddenly felt that something was wrong: Why did my right hand seem to be holding something soft?

Different from the cushion made of soft white fox fur, the soft, fragrant and refreshing touch of the right hand is hard to describe in words, but it is really wonderful.

At this time, Zhu Qiyu still closed his eyes and was in a daze, but his right hand was still involuntarily continuing to grope, wanting to confirm what it was, so fascinating.

It wasn't until a soft exclamation came to his ears that Zhu Qiyu woke up completely, sat up suddenly, quickly dodged, and retreated to the car door to stand still.

At this moment, Zhu Qiyu broke out in a cold sweat: How could there be other people in this carriage?I was too careless, so careless, if there is an assassin here, I will die all the way if I don't directly!

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu became more and more frightened, and then looked intently at the soft couch, but her legs went limp, and Su fell down there.
