Chapter 415 Sailing against the current
After a good night's sleep after drinking, Zhu Qiming's body did not have any discomfort when he got up early. It's just that there are still yesterday's entanglements in his mind, which makes his mood a little low.
Nowadays, the beacon fire and wolf smoke on the border just weave a huge curtain, which can cover Emperor Jingtai to realize his political ambitions.
The military reform was fruitful, many tumors in the army were removed, and the combat strength of the Ming army was quickly restored.
The six departments and the thirteen provinces frequently participated in the impeachment of officials, and the "science and road" was like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of hundreds of officials, which made hundreds of officials panic. For a while, Emperor Jingtai treated the people leniently but harshly treated the officials, which formed a stark contrast, which revealed the vision in Emperor Jingtai's heart, and also inadvertently awakened a ghostly crisis.
As a result, the political dispute between the DPRK and China tended to intensify. To a certain extent, Emperor Jingtai is out of the way, and his situation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!
The intensification of political disputes has narrowed Zhu Qiming's activity space, if not for anything else, just because he is a prince!
At the beginning of the morning, Lu Xiyao came to Qiupu Xuan. She is now the guest of the Empress Princess, and before being invited to the palace, she will always go to Qiupu Xuan to sit for a while.
However, her words today are very meaningful, and they are simply like knives, and they are three points into the wood!
"Although the crown prince is young, his position is a banner, and with this banner, many people will gather together to form a force that should not be underestimated! Therefore, the Son of Heaven will not let it become a trend, and it is only a matter of time before the East Palace changes. As soon as the East Palace changes, people with dissenting opinions have nothing to rely on, and they will be scattered.
And it's very difficult for you. Presumably, the Son of Heaven expects you to stay out of the matter, and the Holy Empress Dowager expects you to maintain the status of the current crown prince.
The Son of Heaven and the Holy Empress Dowager will see it this way. ”
Who says it isn't! Zhu Qiming stared at his toes in distress, and said secretly: Sister, you still talk about the cuteness of Fenghua Xueyue.
"Once the Emperor returns, your situation will be even worse. It is impossible to say that how to deal with the emperor, you must show your attitude, so that you will openly offend one party.
Alas, you are so pathetic! ”
Sister, shall we go play the piano? Zhu Qiming raised his eyes to look at Lu Xiyao, the meaning in his eyes was a little complicated, he couldn't tell whether he was begging her to stop or expecting her to continue, he only felt that hiding his heart was better than being broken by someone, or the former made him feel better.
The sky outside the gate was gloomy, indicating that the capital was about to usher in the next snowy day.
"You very much want to help the Son of Heaven realize his political ambitions, but as a prince, once you play the role of a staff member and secretly make suggestions, even if you can get rid of the fetters of the etiquette system, you can't break through the scheming of so many people, and you are very easy to become the target of the public, not only will you not be able to do anything at that time, but you will eventually become the political burden of the Son of Heaven, which is not good for yourself and the Son of Heaven.
You have seen all this, and you want to find a place to relax, but you still have worries in your heart, and perhaps you are waiting for the war in the north to finally subside, so that you can count your wish as fulfilled. ”
Hey, you're not right! The general trend of the world has been decided, so why wait? I'm thinking about that little bit of personal grudge from the past, okay? Zhu Qiming was so happy in his heart that he almost laughed out loud, and after a while, he found that he couldn't laugh at all.
Since he met Mama Cui, he no longer has high expectations, in view of the fact that the encounter back then did not leave the revenge of killing his father and the pain of disability, thinking about it, he feels that he just needs to let Xining be punished!
This day soon came, and just two months later, in February of the first year of Jingtai, Yang Jun successfully designed to trap Xining, and Xining was escorted to Beijing and put in the city (chopped into meat paste).
"It's a pity, you want to go back freely, but it's harder than climbing to the sky!" Lu Xiyao threw Zhu Qiming a sympathetic look, got up and walked out of Qiupuxuan.
It's inexplicable to say so many things!
Zhu Qiming was stunned for a moment, chased a few steps away from his seat, and saw the graceful figure outside the door hidden in the chariot, so he returned to his seat and looked at the fire in a daze.
After thinking about it, it seemed like there was nowhere to go right now. The summons of the Supreme Holy Empress Dowager and Emperor Jingtai should not go out and walk around, so as not to cause extraneous branches when there is a lot of noise in the temple.
Time seems to be going back to the days of studying, practicing martial arts, and being an otaku.
According to the agreement, the guards and Xu Gong's subordinates were all included in the Beijing army sequence, Yu Qian said: "I'm afraid it will take some time for the new guards to be assembled, anyway, His Royal Highness is accompanied by Jinyi guards when he goes in and out, so there is no need to rush for a while." ”
There was no way, after bidding farewell to Wang Lie, who was determined to be a Jurchen hunter, he no longer got together with his subordinates.

Good luck to Wang Lie!
I suddenly remembered Aunt Fang and the comfortable time of being a peasant boy······
Aunt Fang brought the words, saying that she wanted to take the little foal into Beijing and walk around. He hesitated again and again, but finally politely persuaded Aunt Fang to stop her trip to the capital.
Also, Xiao Hai, who was imprisoned, has been released by Emperor Jingtai; Shang Huaiying, the eunuch of Sima, was trusted; Huang An and Xiao Xizi were also transferred to the master of ceremonies······ There were a lot of old things, but he didn't even want to mention their names.
Perhaps many people in the court have paid attention to him, a prince with a special status, and his old times are like the branches of a big tree, once the big tree is in the wind, the branches will inevitably suffer first.
Think about the time of the Chang Dynasty and the Great Dynasty, the black crowd under the throne, that is the most complicated group of people in the world, each with unfathomable thoughts. For thousands of years, no matter how holy the Son of Heaven is, he can't make his mind unified!
Tartar thieves are easy to punish, but internal thieves are difficult to prevent!
Just live without heart and lungs! Thinking of this, Zhu Qiming wanted to go into the study to read, and suddenly saw a figure at the door, and Emperor Jingtai walked in quickly.
The guards, internal officials, and palace maids were all left in the distance, and no one passed it on, and a generation of heavenly sons actually came to Qiupu Xuan alone!
The maid in the hall was frightened and quickly knelt on the ground.
"Blessed is the Holy Bow!"
Emperor Jingtai's face was not good, he waved his hand to signal the maid to retreat, stopped Zhu Qiming from saluting, and walked to the fire and sat down.
Zhu Qiming realized that if he continued to stay by the main seat, it would be really useless! Take a few steps and stop at Emperor Jingtai.
Emperor Jingtai motioned for Zhu Qiming to take a seat, "King Yue, in your opinion, how long will the border war last?" ”
Zhu Qiming replied without thinking about it: "The general trend of Warat has gone!" Tartar thieves can't afford to die, they can't afford to starve, they don't last a year. ”
In fact, in July of the first year of Jingtai, the Warat people couldn't bear it, and the three major tribes each sent people to Beijing to ask for peace with a shy face, which made Daming earn enough face and take care of the inside.
Later, the Ming Dynasty sent Li Shi and Yang Shan to envoy Wara, and Yang Shan improvised and welcomed back the emperor in one fell swoop. This was the only time in the history of China's dealings with Hu Lu that a captive emperor was brought back without any humiliating conditions.
The history books are special about Yang Shan's wit, but they don't know that Yang Shan's wit is only small, and the emperor can return to China, and the decisive role lies in the correct national policy set by the Ming Dynasty.
From Sheji's point of view, Emperor Jingtai was a very successful emperor. At the critical juncture when internal and external troubles seriously eroded the fragile body of the Ming Dynasty, the elite of Beijing was lost, and the building was crumbling, Emperor Jingtai did not flinch, packed up the remnants of the defeated generals, tired soldiers and horses, rose up to fight, and won the victory in the defense of Beijing, and in the border confrontation with the Tartar thieves, the tragic situation of successive defeats during the reform of the unification period occupied a dominant position of victory and defeat, forcing the Warat people to bow their arrogant heads and come to the door to sue for peace.
Emperor Jingtai also pacified the civil strife, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and brought a turbulent and adversity of the Ming Dynasty into a prosperous and prosperous situation.
From Emperor Jingtai's personal point of view, he was another failed emperor. During the change of seizing the door, a group of subordinates with bad deeds supported the restoration of Zhu Qizhen, which is simply an extremely absurd satirical drama!
Perhaps, Emperor Jingtai still lacks some kind of ruthlessness inherent in the emperor, he can die inexplicably himself, but he can't let others die inexplicably.
Emperor Jingtai suffered unfair treatment after his death, and there was no emperor, name, or temple number. During the Chenghua period, under the pressure of public opinion, Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen restored his uncle's emperor name, but did not agree on the temple name of Emperor Jingtai, and also had reservations when determining the name, "Gongren Kang Dingjing Emperor", the name is only five characters, which is far from the convention of seventeen characters.
It was not until the Hongguang period of the Southern Ming Dynasty that the descendants of the Zhu family, who were chased and killed by the Qing soldiers all the way, remembered the ancestor of this Jingtai Emperor, touched the scene, and deeply felt the extraordinariness of the Jingtai Emperor, so he added the temple name to the Jingtai Emperor - Daizong, and posthumously added the name to the seventeenth character - Fu Tianjian Dao Gongren Kangding Longwen Buwu Xiande Chongxiao Jing Emperor.
That's an afterword.
At this moment, Emperor Jingtai had no intention of thinking about his future fate, and the current controversy between the court and the court made him very annoying.
"When the Ming army was defeated in successive battles, the courtier's voice was very small, but now the Ming army has won more and lost less, and the situation is superior, but the courtier's voice has become louder, which is intriguing!"
Zhu Qiming was silent for a long time, and then replied: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to go to the domain." ”
But when he saw Emperor Jingtai Huo rising, he was stunned.
