Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 99 Yao Xian wrote a letter to ask the Buddhist new king to send monk Du Ye first

It was the turn of the ministers to act, and Chen Xun replied first: "Your Majesty, there are [-] chefs in Guanglu Temple who went out with the Supreme Emperor and were lucky enough to escape. Please give each of them a piece of cloth as a reward for their hard work." .”

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu shook his head and smiled wryly: "May I ask Mr. Chen Ge, how many cooks are there in Guanglu Temple? How many cooks did the Supreme Emperor bring with him during his conquest? What are these cooks responsible for in the army?"

Chen Xun had no choice but to reply: "There are more than [-] cooks in Guanglu Temple. The Supreme Emperor took away more than [-] people, and almost all of them escaped back. These cooks are responsible for following the main force of the Supreme Emperor's army and cooking for the soldiers. "

Zhu Qiyu continued to shake his head and smiled wryly: Isn't that right? You said that Wala surrounded the Taishang Emperor's army in Tumubao and wiped out the Ming army.

Then how did these kitchen servants run out with all their beards and tails?Two thousand and three hundred people, basically no loss, how did such a large target break through the heavy encirclement of the Oirat cavalry?
The ministers looked at each other, and they could basically guess what the emperor was thinking.The ministers asked Chen Xun to play such a thing with the emperor, just to test the emperor's attitude.

At the end, Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Just follow Aiqing's play."

Since he promised to share wealth with the ministers yesterday, Zhu Qiyu, as an emperor who kept his promise, could only turn a blind eye.

Then Wang Wen stood up again and said: "Your Majesty, the interrogation of the third division against Guo Jing, the eunuch guarding Taitong, has ended. The opinion given by the third division is that Guo Jingsu and Wang Zhen are close. Over the years, they have made more steel arrows. Use the urn to hold it, and leave the Oala envoys. In return, Wang Zhen and Guo Jing will be bribed with good horses and other things every year.

The defeat of Song Ying and other Yanghekou was all caused by Guo Jing's dictatorship. In the end, the entire army of [-] soldiers was wiped out.For his crime, he should be executed Ling Chi, please be judged by His Majesty. "

"Ling Chi executed? Is it necessary to rise to this level?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head again: The ministers are already jealous, and now they want to see any eunuchs like Ling Chi, one Guo Jing, one Xining, and Wang Zhen.Fortunately, Wang Zhen was already dead, so there was no way to delay.

The defeat of Yanghekou fell on Guo Jing, and the defeat of Tumubao fell on Wang Zhen. Which eunuch do you want to blame for the defeat of Yaoerling?Anyway, after all, you ministers didn't make any mistakes.

It's a pity that Zhu Qiyu didn't want to get angry with the ministers anymore, so he waved his hand again: "Let's sentence it like this, but let Guo Jing be locked up in the prison first."

The ministers were reluctant, but the emperor insisted again and again, and finally had to agree to lock Guo Jing first.

Zhu Qiyu successfully jumped over the small pit dug by the ministers: an emperor, if he would kill the eunuch at every turn, which eunuch would dare to hang out with the emperor in the future.Killing is nothing more than a nod to the ground, no matter how serious the crime is, it is enough to be cut in half, why not Lingchi.

Next, when the ministers played, Zhu Qiyu nodded repeatedly while flipping through the notebook.Now that the general strategy against the enemy has been decided, the ministers are just playing things like distributing weapons and armor to the soldiers, organizing civilian military craftsmen to help defend the city, and so on. .

Just when the ministers were competing to play, Zhu Qiyu suddenly held a copy of the playbook and burst out laughing.

The ministers were baffled by the emperor's sudden move and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zhu Qiyu asked Shang Ren with a smile: "Bachelor of Commerce, do you know a supervisor named Yao Xian in the Imperial College?"

When the ministers heard the emperor's words, they all showed surprise.Shang Ren was even more startled: Did the emperor just happen to ask himself, or did he do it on purpose?Is the emperor really so insightful?

Shocked, Shang Ren immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I know that Yao Xian and I are both Juren of the orthodox nine years. Later, Yao Xian failed the palace examination, so he entered the Imperial College to study."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiyu handed the memorandum to Shang Ren: "Please trouble the Bachelor of Commerce to read Yao Xian's memorandum to everyone. Start reading from the middle, which is where the imperial court built the Dalongxing Temple."

Shang Ren had no choice but to take the memorial, read it briefly, and then recited aloud: "The imperial court built the Dalongxing Temple, which is extremely magnificent. The capital's rumors say: the ointment of the people is exhausted, the marrow of the people is exhausted, and they cannot be sheltered from the wind or sheltered from the wind." rain.

He also revered Zen Master Yang of Chongguo Temple as his master, and his ceremonies were the same as those of a king.

Since then, there have been many natural disasters, barbarians invaded the frontiers, the Supreme Emperor was left in the court of thieves, and the national teachers and monks talked and laughed freely.

I hope that your Majesty will order the master and the monks to go to the thief's court with the power of the Buddha, and send them back to Beijing first.The common people can see the power of the Buddha to protect the country, so as to show the effect of respect, otherwise, the Buddha is not enough to respect and trust, it is clear.

From now on, it is not allowed to uphold Buddhism, which is the law of all generations.Every time I think about driving in the desert, I feel so sad, so I dare to say a word, not ten thousand deaths. "

Zhu Qiyu heard that Shang Ren had finished reading, and said with a light smile, "Scholar of Business is worthy of being a great talent in Sanyuan, and he can recite it just by looking at it. Tell me that you, a Juren of the same year, dared to propose to destroy Buddha. Is it a crime? Deserving of death?"

Shang Ren felt bitter: Isn't it just the same year to raise people, it's none of my business.Emperor, you leave so many important big shots next to you and don't ask me what I do, how do I know what to do.

The bitterness in his heart turned to bitterness, and he had to answer, so Shang Ren had no choice but to reply: "Your Majesty, I think it is impossible to destroy the Buddha, but Yao Xian is not guilty of death."

Zhu Qiyu refused to let Shang Ren go, and continued to ask: "You say that he is not guilty of death, so you admit that he is guilty?"

Shang Ren had no choice but to reply: "I think Yao Xian is guilty of slandering Buddha."

"Then how should the punishment be?"

"My minister thought that it would be enough to send him back to his hometown and read books behind closed doors to reflect on his mistakes."

Zhu Qiyu asked the others: "What about you, do you agree with the views of the Bachelor of Commerce?"

Others also expressed their agreement, and there is no different opinion.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said with a smile: "Put the content of this memorandum into the mansion newspaper, spread it to the whole country, and let all civil and military officials discuss it.

Yao Xian no longer needs to study in the Imperial College, he can be appointed as a member of Zhongshu Sheren, come to my side, help me deal with paperwork while studying, and then take the imperial examination in the next year.

As for Yao Xian's suggestion in the playbook, I think it's very good.Let those masters and monks act as envoys, give them horses and carts, and let them go first when they meet.

If they can use Buddhism to influence them first, let them send the Supreme Emperor back to Beijing, and I will build a bigger and more magnificent Buddhist temple for them.If not, just go back to my hometown in India and live with their Buddhas. "

The ministers knew the emperor's temper, and this was the final conclusion, and they stopped arguing now, and accepted orders helplessly.

Zhu Qiyu picked up another copy of the memorial, handed it to Shang Ren, and then said with a smile: "Doesn't a bachelor of business have a photographic memory? Come on, this memorial was written by Liu Dingzhi, the attendant of the Imperial Academy. You can read it once. Then recite it to everyone."

Shang Ren took the memorial, opened it, and wished he could scold the eighteen generations of Liu Dingzhi's ancestors one by one. He saw that the memorial had more than [-] words in it.And there is no real content, it is all a mess of moaning without illness, and it comes out one after another, without any rules at all, who can memorize it.

Zhu Qiyu didn't really want Shang Ren to memorize it, so he continued to laugh and said: "See, Bachelor of Commerce, you said that the ministers write this stuff every day for me to read, so I, the emperor, can have it.

You are responsible for approving his memorandum, and the wording must be severe. I will reprimand him severely, and then punish him to go home and pick up the child.

When will he figure it out, when will he give me an apology, then decide whether to let him come back. "

Shang Lu had no choice but to put on a bitter face, saying that he accepted the order.

After dealing with these, the ministers played some more things, and Zhu Qiyu asked everyone to disperse.

……

For the next three days, nothing happened.Taking advantage of his last spare time, Zhu Qiyu gave Yu Qian a house near his home.And gave Xiao Lingxi to Yu Qian as a concubine, split Xiao Lingxi's four maids in half, gave two to Yu Qian's son Yu Mian, and gave two to Cui Wenxiu, Yu Qian's most important aide.

Just like that, Yu Qian was half pushed and half on the spot, and was tied to his chariot by Zhu Qiyu.

However, the reward Yu Qian got was also quite generous: Zhu Qiyu withdrew his request to place cronies in the positions of the left and right servants of the Ministry of War.He also officially handed over the power of the Governor-General Beijing Camp to Yu Qian.

What's more, except for the emperor's 5000 personal guards and the [-] elite border troops of the Marquis of Xing'an, a total of [-] people were under the emperor's direct control, the rest of the army was all at the disposal of Yuqian.

Three days passed peacefully like this, until the afternoon of September 22, when Zhu Qiyu was drinking tea leisurely in the room, Lin Xiangyu came in happily and replied with a smile:

"Your Majesty, your Marquis of Xing'an has finally returned to Beijing. The invitation has just been delivered to the servant's house, and Marquis of Xing'an has already replied. Please take a bath, change your clothes, take a rest, and come to see me later."
