Chapter Eighty-Eight: Intrigues

Zhu Jianwen was thrilled by his words, and the atmosphere of the peace talks became a little tense in an instant, and both sides were silent, waiting for the other party to speak first.

"In this way, Lord Yu will hand over the Shenji Battalion and the soldiers and horses of the original Fifth Army Battalion to my eldest brother." Lu Yunzhi relieved the siege and said, seeing that Yu Qian was about to speak, he hurriedly stopped, and then said, "Lord Yu first listen to me, you are a loyal minister, nothing more than to protect the family and defend the country, we accept new soldiers, and after we defeat Cheng Fangdong together, I make the following guarantees: First, I will never change my surname and stand up as the king, and there is still the Zhu royal family to sit in the country." Second, we will definitely resist foreign enemies and prevent foreign invasions. Third, the country should be stabilized, the turbulent situation will be calmed down, and the people will be freed from the scourge of war. With such a three-point list, can Lord Yu rest assured that he will hand over the military power. ”

After thinking for a moment, Yu Qian looked at Zhu Qiyu and said: "This matter can be done as you say, but in addition to your existing troops and the troops we handed over just now, you must not interfere with the military preparation of the Japanese army and the army of the Nanjing Military Department and the border defenders. Saying that, Yu Qian stretched out his hand to high-five Lu Yunzhi as an oath.

Yu Qian said again: "What other conditions do you have?" Fang Qingze raised his voice and said: "The household department will be handed over to me to be in charge, and in the appointment of officials, cabinet ministers and officials are not allowed to participate, even Zhu Qiyu and you, Lord Yu, cannot get involved." ”

"This is naturally easy to say, the shopkeeper Fang is in charge of the household department, and I Yu Qian have no objection, but I can issue a decree in your favor, but I can't fill my own pockets and empty the treasury. I wonder if Shopkeeper Fang can agree? Yu Qian asked rhetorically.

Fang Qingze nodded and replied: "You can rest assured, if I come to lead the national finances, it will definitely make the Ming country rich and the people strong." Zhu Jianwen also stood up and said: "The next condition is to set up my father Zhu Qi as the minister of care, once the prince establishes my father as the second father, followed by Lu Yunzhi, and Qu Xiangtian and I are the third duke." I don't know if adults can accept our conditions. ”

Zhu Qiyu was taken aback when he heard this, although this was beyond his expectations, but it was not the worst result, I thought that Zhu Jianwen would put forward the conditions for the restoration of Zhu Qizhen as the emperor, and this is much better than this suggestion, if it is really as he guessed before, it is difficult to guarantee that Yu Qian, a loyal minister, will overthrow himself and let his brother Zhu Qizhen restore the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Zhu Jianwen's words did not seem excessive, but he secretly had a murderous intention. Zhu Qiyu originally had a son named Zhu Jianji, Zhu Qiyu himself sat on his brother's country and became the Ninth Five-Year Prince, so he couldn't let his son be a courtier after his death, so Zhu Qiyu abolished Zhu Jianjun, the prince of Zhu Qizhen, and set up his son Zhu Jianji as the prince. How could he have expected that in February of the following year, Zhu Jianji fell down when he was playing, and the treatment was ineffective and he died. At this time, Yu Qian was busy fighting wits and courage with Lu Yunzhi, and the war between the two sides was about to break out, Yu Qian was also busy arranging a meeting with the Murong family of Timur, as well as the coup d'Γ©tat between Warat assassination and Meng He, where did he have time to calculate the fate of Zhu Jianji, and Zhu Qiyu's only son died accidentally. Zhu Qiyu was furious, but he was not angry with Yu Qian, the pillar of the country, so he concealed the news and lied that Zhu Jianji's death was poisoned by the eunuch palace maid loyal to Zhu Qizhen, so he wanted to find Zhu Qizhen to be buried together, and was stopped by Yu Qian.

Although Zhu Qiyu is heartbroken, he is young after all, and he can have another prince to ascend the throne. But now Zhu Qiyu has no prince, according to what Zhu saw and heard, Zhu Qipai was appointed as the minister of Gu Ming, which is equivalent to determining the direction of the Ming Dynasty in the future. Lu Yunzhi's previous agreement with Yu Qian was to ensure that the Ming Dynasty was the world of the Zhu royal family, and Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Jianwen, and Zhu Jianwen were all surnamed Zhu, not to mention the restoration of Zhu Qizhen, even if Zhu Qizhen or Zhu Jianwen were established, it was very possible.

Secondly, although the three dukes are now fictitious, but the status is extremely high, once they become the three dukes in the court, they naturally have the right to speak, since ancient times, the three dukes are mostly for the founding of the country or the minister of Zhongxing is eligible to obtain, or several dynasties when the elders can not move and then canonized. And Lu Yunzhi, Zhu Jianwen, Qu Xiangtian, the three of them are not very old, if they are ranked as the third public, even the cabinet ministers and the six Shangshu will be helpless to take them.

Yu Qian was so smart that he naturally understood what Zhu Jianwen meant, so he replied: "My emperor has no heirs now, and he has not set up a prince. Most of the three princes are the founding heroes or old ministers, and now the Ming Dynasty has not been extinguished, nor has it been defeated, not to talk about the founding of the country is not Zhongxing, and the three princes are not meritorious. Moreover, the three are young, and it is inappropriate to serve as the third duke. In this way, let's let Mr. Shi Fangshi be the prince among the three princes, and Zhu Qi, the king of Wu, was renamed the king of the domain, which means that he is the king of the world. Brother Lu and General Qu have been wronged, so is it okay to be the third young man with me? ”

The three young are the young masters, the young masters, and the young guards. In this way, the level has dropped a lot, and Yu Qian, as a young protector above the court, although he has not entered the cabinet, he is in charge of the six departments, and the comprehensive strength of the court and the central government can naturally stand shoulder to shoulder with Lu Yunzhi and Qu Xiangtian. And Zhu Qipai's unification is even more famous, although he is now the king of Wu, but the Qin Wangjun is all under the dispatch of Zhu Qipai's father and son, and the vassal kings are also obedient to the two fathers and sons. And Shi Fang is more rigid by nature. Sometimes he is a little stubborn, foolish, loyal and filial, and now he is physically inconvenient, even if he becomes a master, he will not be able to go to court every day, and it is useless. Yu Qian's counterattack response was also really beautiful.

Yu Qian thought that Lu Yunzhi and the others would refute and refuse, but when he saw Lu Yunzhi looking at Zhu Jianwen, Zhu Jianwen nodded slightly, and Lu Yunzhi said: "Then we will make up our minds, we will discuss the specific situation when we defeat Cheng Fangdong, please hand over the tiger talisman from the Lord of the Soul Vein, and then let Bai Yong go with you to transfer troops into our battalion." ”

"Wait," Yu Qian said suddenly, "Mr. Lu, although you and I just high-fived and sweared, you and I ...... Whether there should be a mortgage. ”

Lu Yunzhi looked at Yu Qian with his eyebrows, Yu Qian didn't let the two look at each other, but he heard Shi Fang say: "With my Shi Fang's reputation and character, isn't Lord Yu still at ease?" If not, leave me and Yueqiu by your side, as hostages, you should rest assured. ”

Everyone was shocked, and just about to stop it, they heard Yu Qian laugh and say: "It's better to get a daughter than to get Mr. Shi's promise, since Mr. Shi said it, where do we dare to keep you as a hostage, doesn't it hurt the harmony." Lord Zhen, I beg you to hand over the Great Seal and Talisman to General Qu, and move the army with them. Just now, Yu said the wrong thing in a hurry, please Haihan. ”
