Having said this, Zhao Yan couldn't go any further, he had no idea about the date, and he couldn't say what the specific month and day it was, so he had to vaguely say: "If the minister's expectations are good, the imperial court will send someone to envoy Wara recently, but welcoming the emperor back to Beijing is a major event, and it can be discussed in a short time, so don't be too anxious." ”

Zhao Yan couldn't bear to tell the truth, and even if he told the truth, Zhu Qizhen probably wouldn't believe it, the reason why his younger brother didn't want him to go back was because he was afraid that he would compete with him for the throne after he went back, so Zhao Yan could only tell a white lie.

Zhu Qizhen glanced at Zhao Yan deeply, he didn't pay attention to this fifteenth Jinshi of the second class who he had hand-picked, he just thought he was a courtier who wrote stories very well.

But he was angry and put him in a prison car, and ordered him to be beheaded, but during the civil war, he desperately came to protect himself, and finally became a prisoner with himself, and suffered a lot, but no one expected that he would be self-sufficient here in Warat with his own ability, and if it weren't for the food and clothing he sent from time to time, his life would definitely be much more miserable than now.

When he is frustrated, he will comfort and relieve himself with Yuan Bin, and when he is sick, he will also do his best to collect medicines for himself, although he does not get along with himself day and night like Yuan Bin, but he believes what he sees, he is really guarding himself, such a sincere person, what if he regards him as a real friend?

At the same time, there were almost no other civil and military ministers who were captured, but there were many ordinary soldiers and junior officers, Zhu Qizhen rarely saw them, although he didn't know where they went, but Zhu Qizhen had hoped that they had escaped, fled back to Daming, and returned to their relatives, and he, the former emperor, was sorry for them and took them out, but he did not bring them back safely.

On July 1 of the first year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty, Li Shi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, came to the Eight Bald Sons with the national letter.

Li Shi did not go to see Yexian first, but was led to the tent in Zhu Qizhen.

After the meeting of the monarch and the minister, there was first weeping, and then there was an unspeakable silence.

After a long time, Zhu Qizhen broke the silence, he was going to say a few words of greeting first, and then asked, "What is Qing's official residence now?" ”

Li Shi replied: "The minister was originally in the Ministry of Rites, but he was promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites before leaving. ”

Zhu Qizhen was silent again, the Like was a seven-rank official in the matter, and the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites was a third-grade official, how big the gap between the two was, Zhu Qizhen was keenly aware of the perfunctory.

It was rare to see someone from the capital, Zhu Qizhen collected his thoughts and asked again: "How is the Queen Mother?" How is Your Majesty? How is the Queen? ”

Li Shi knew that Zhu Qizhen was asking Queen Qian, and when he heard this, he replied: "It's all good, please rest assured." ”

Zhu Qizhen was inexplicably irritable in his heart, and asked again: "I have been hunting in the north for many years, why didn't the imperial court come to pick me up?" ”

Li Shi was silent for a moment and replied, "I don't know. ”

Zhu Qizhen's eyes began to turn red again, and he said emotionally: "Please say that you will know with Your Majesty when you go back, and you are willing to send me back to Beijing first, I hope Your Majesty will remember the brotherhood and send someone to take me back. ”

Li Shiyan was full of anger when he heard this, he was familiar with "Mencius", and believed that the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light, seeing Zhu Qizhen's aggrieved look, he couldn't help but say: "The Emperor Taishang is now so reminiscent of the past Zhong Mingding's food? Just because the emperor favored Wang Zhen to have today, knowing this, why bother in the first place? ”

The phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken, Li Shi's words are too sharp, Rao is Zhu Qizhen's gentle personality can't help but keep him in his heart, but in the end it is himself who is wrong, Zhu Qizhen has tasted all the bitter fruits in this year's time, at this time Li Shi asked, Zhu Qizhen said half justified and half blamed himself: "This is my fault, I saw Wang Zhen wrong, this is the truth, but when Wang Zhen was there, I was also deceived by it, and none of the ministers dared to speak, but today they are all blamed on me." ”

Li Shi was indulgent and arrogant when he was young, and he almost lost his life on the way back from traveling to Jiangnan, and then his personality was slightly restrained and began to specialize in the industry, orthodox for seven years, and he was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of less than thirty, it can be seen that he is still relatively smart, but today he reprimanded Zhu Qizhen in public, and I don't know whether Li Shi deliberately did it for his reputation or because of his character, in short, seven years later, Zhu Qizhen was successfully restored, and he was immediately dismissed, but he was only removed from his official position and had no other actions.

Li Shi walked out of the tent, looked at the humble environment around him, and finally instructed the attaché: "Spread out a few pieces of clothes from us, and then take out a few buckets of rice and send them to the emperor." ”

After leaving here, Li Shi went to see Yexian again, and finally returned to the capital with Yexian's words.

also said first: "Your Emperor is not our Emperor, it is useless to stay here, it is better to take him back as soon as possible." ”

Li Shi should be happy, because he made a trip to Warat, not only was he promoted, but he also scolded Zhu Qizhen in front of him.

He is not stupid first, otherwise he would not be able to get rid of it and become the actual controller of the Warat power, the more he thought about it after Li Shi left, the more wrong it became, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom could only waste food if he stayed here, but he was the nominal emperor of the Ming court, and he couldn't kill him directly, the best way was to send him away quickly, so after consulting with his own Pingzhang Angke, he decided to send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty again to negotiate.

The first envoy was called Pilermani Hamma, who had come to the capital many times with the Warat mission to pay tribute, although the level of education was not high, but he still had knowledge.

After Pilemani Hama came to the capital, he found that the Li Shilang of the Ministry of Rites who sent the envoy to Wara had set off earlier than him, and he had not yet arrived in the capital, so he felt that the Ming court was not concerned about taking Zhu Qizhen back.

Sure enough, after coming to the capital, Pilemani Hama was not welcomed, but he had already been mentally prepared, but he thought that if he couldn't complete the task he gave himself first, he would definitely be punished when he went back, so he simply relented and went to the Ministry of Rites to see Shangshu Hu Hu.

Hu Hu is old, and the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is an official position for him to support the elderly, but he will also go to the Ministry of Rites to sit in the hall on weekdays, after all, the monk hit the clock that day, and the king of food should be loyal to the king.

In the end, Pilmani Hama did not see Hu Hu, but someone relayed his intention to Hu Hu.

Hu Hu felt that Zhu Qiyu did this very badly, and as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he couldn't ignore it, so he went to see Zhu Qiyu and asked Zhu Qiyu to send another envoy to Wara.

Zhu Qiyu didn't want to take Zhu Qizhen back to be an eyesore, so he only shirked and waited for Li Shi to come back, but Li Shi hadn't come back yet, and Yuan Min, the governor of the Golden Tooth Guard, who had escaped from the Civil War, wrote a letter and was willing to take supplies out of the fortress to visit Emperor Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qiyu was upset for a while when he heard this, but he still praised Yuan Min's loyalty, but he was noncommittal to Yuan Min's request.

Li Shi finally came back in a hurry, he stated that he also wanted to live peacefully with Daming and send the Emperor back first, Zhu Qiyu said that he knew, and then there was no news again.

The king of Shangshu couldn't stand it anymore, and he gathered a large number of ministers to write a letter, asking Zhu Qiyu to send an envoy to Wara, and it was best to bring the emperor back before winter.

Zhu Qiyu repeated his old tricks, and the ministers who wanted to rely on procrastination lost their temper, but Yu Qian stood up at the critical moment.

Yao Kui was promoted to the right attendant of the Nanjing Criminal Department in the first half of the year, and only before going to Nanjing did he know that Zhao Yan was still alive, but he became a prisoner of Wara like the Emperor Zhu Qizhen. Yao Kui was still very concerned about this disciple, so he asked Yu Qian to rescue Zhao Yan if he had the opportunity.

Yu Qian's reputation for integrity and selflessness spreads all over the world, but it does not mean that he has no friends and no city, in fact, he has friends all over the world, and he is also known for his strategy, and he also sees people's hearts very clearly.

For Zhu Qiyu's thoughts, Yu Qian knows it in his chest, on weekdays, when a minister writes to pick up Zhu Qizhen back, he has been watching from the wall, because he is waiting for an opportunity, now Zhu Qiyu is the emperor after all, it is difficult to make him do something against his will, only the right time, place and people, and the general trend can force Zhu Qiyu to bow his head, and now the opportunity has come.

In fact, Yu Qian did not take Zhu Qizhen, the outdated emperor, to heart, how to assist the current emperor to govern the world well and make the people's lives better, this is what Yu Qian thinks about day and night. It's just that considering the request of his old friend Yao Kui, and Zhu Qizhen, as the emperor, has been hunting in the north for a long time, so it is not good for the imperial court, and after comprehensive consideration, Yu Qian spoke.

"Your Majesty, the heavenly position has been decided, and Ning Fu has it. The Emperor's Northern Hunt has hindered the country's body for many years, and the envoy sent to Warat is for the stability of the border, and His Majesty is too worried. ”

As soon as Yu Qian opened his mouth, he knew if there was any, and as soon as Zhu Qiyu heard that 'the heavenly position has been decided, Ning Fu has it' This eight words suddenly loosened his heart, what he was most afraid of was that Zhu Qizhen would compete with him for the throne after he came back, and most of the ministers present were promoted during the Zhu Qizhen period, who knows if they will turn their faces and ruthlessly return to Zhu Qizhen's arms when the time comes, but as soon as Yu Qian said a few words, Zhu Qiyu suddenly woke up, he is now the emperor, Confucianism is the most orthodox, although Zhu Qizhen was orthodox before, but it is already in the past, and the orthodoxy of the world today is on himself.

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a long time before he said lightly: "In this case, let's follow what Qing said." ”

Yu Qian said again: "The civil war has passed for many years, and many of the important ministers in the court have been martyred at that time, but there are still many military generals and subjects who have been captured for Wara, so it is better to take advantage of this envoy to claim these military generals and subjects back, in the name of His Majesty." ”

Zhu Qiyu thought about it and felt that this was a good way to invite people to buy people's hearts, and he also urgently asked for peace first, and he would definitely not make any excessive demands for this little thing, so he nodded and said, "It's all up to you." ”
