Chapter 286: The Most Humiliating Scandal in History
The fierce battle on the grassland is in full swing, but it doesn't seem to affect the Ming Empire in the slightest, and above the court, there is a strange silence, but Zhu Qiyu is becoming more and more uneasy, from the beginning, to now, whether it is going to the grassland to order the general soldiers of the border towns to collect troops and return to the camp, or to send to Xuanfu Town, to find Luo Hengxin's envoys from that old guy, none of them have returned to Beijing to pay the order.
It's okay for the general soldiers of those border towns, after all, they are all fighting on the grassland, the prairie is so big, who can know when they can find someone, it's okay, but the Xuanfu Lian didn't even send back a little bit of news, which had to make Zhu Qiyu feel dangerous and vigilant.
And Xuanfu's Jinyi Wei pretended to be stupid and complained, as if Xuanfu Town was in such a state of chaos at the moment, the soldiers and civilians of Xuanfu Town were living in a misery, and there were a large number of horse bandits and bandits in Xuanfu Town.
“…… Ridiculous, shameless! All of them are thieves who disregard the emperor's grace, I want to kill them and punish their nine clans! With a withered face and deep-set eyes, Zhu Qiyu lifted the decoction brought by the palace maid and roared angrily.
The blue and white porcelain bowl fell to the floor, fell into pieces, and the medicine stains were scattered all over the ground, and even the hem of Zhu Qiyu's dragon robe was stained with brown medicine stains.
Wang Wen couldn't help but clear his throat and stood up: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, judging from the current situation, we must not act rashly." ”
"Don't act rashly, and don't act rashly, Wang Qing, I have been listening to you say this, and now, that Zhu Qizhen is acting recklessly on the prairie, and the general soldiers on all sides are under his control, and the Xuanfu side actually dares to use such bastard words to deceive me. Do you think I can't act rashly?! Zhu Qiyu came to Wang Wen's side, the corners of his eyes kept twitching, and he gritted his teeth and whispered viciously in Wang Wen's ear.
"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, please punish Your Majesty." Hearing Zhu Qiyu's completely unreasonable reprimand, Wang Wen couldn't help but feel a sense of weakness and depression, and bowed to the ground and said in a deep voice.
Wang Wen bowed down, and the ministers behind him who were already uneasy also fell to the ground one after another, calling them incompetent. Looking at His Royal Highness, the henchmen who were left behind by him had a face of being beaten and scolded, Zhu Qiyu's mouth began to tremble. "You, you ......"
"Long live you, please quench your anger, there is no one here who is not loyal to you." That Wang Cheng hurried to the front, supported Zhu Qiyu, who was a little shaky, and persuaded.
Seeing Wang Cheng's blinking eyes quickly, and then at those dejected subordinates, Zhu Qiyu sighed stupidly, and let Wang Cheng help him sit back on the couch. After calming down, Zhu Qiyu coughed and said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, now, there are many annihilations in the DPRK and China, and there are many elbows in the affairs of the country, which is really the misfortune of the country. ”
Hearing the words of the Jing Nan incident, all the ministers present couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat, the change of the Jing Jing Jing has only been a few decades so far, I am afraid that there are many old people in the DPRK who have experienced it, who will not know the change of the Jing Nan?
-------------------- now, the emperor of Zhu Qizhen commanded tens of thousands of elite Ming border troops in the prairie to fight in the east and west, and won successive battles, and there was a great tendency to destroy the thorns in one fell swoop, making its momentum unparalleled for a while, and the entire Ming Dynasty seemed to be shrouded by Zhu Qizhen's figure.
The saddest thing is naturally Zhu Qiyu, but the problem is that although the Beijing Division Battalion claims to have 200,000 elite divisions, in fact, these 200,000 are mostly newly recruited, except for a few veterans who have experienced the danger of understanding the Beijing Division.
Although training and drills have been carried out, the problem is that where can compare with the elite of the Beijing division who often went to the battlefield in the past, experienced battles for a long time, and fought bloody battlefields, and naturally there is no way to compare with the elite of the border towns who have been fighting to the death with the nomads of the steppe in the border towns all year round.
Guards around? That's tantamount to a joke, to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty to the scriptures, which has lasted nearly a hundred years, in addition to the border system, the guard system can maintain some combat effectiveness, most of the guards in the Ming Dynasty, have been equated with those old farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky, even if it is the guard around the Beijing Division, although the project will not collapse so much for the sake of face, but if you really want to let them go to the battlefield, what is the difference between it and sending them to death?
Now, in the court, those ministers have tacitly maintained a strange silence on this matter, which naturally makes Zhu Qiyu even more worried, and Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, tried his best to assure himself that the emperor would never dare to move troops to the Beijing Division, if that is the case, then everyone in the world will definitely stand on Zhu Qiyu's side.
Although there is Yu Qian's guarantee, Zhu Qiyu is not completely assured, although he has 200,000 soldiers and horses in the Beijing Division, Zhu Qiyu still feels as if he is standing alone on the cliff, and he will be swept down the cliff by the wind at any time.
Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Zhu Qiyu had to ask again: "Can the Qing and others have a good plan to make the emperor retreat in the face of the difficulties with the hearts of the army and the people of the government and the opposition?" ”
Liu Minsi, the squire of the military department, saw the eyes that Yong handed over, and could only stubbornly say loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the most important thing now is to agree on the prince of the country, and try to break the emperor's mind. ”
"Liu Minsi, you are just talking nonsense!" Hearing Liu Minsi's words, Wang Wen couldn't help but change color, turned his head and shouted at Liu Minsi.
"Dare to ask Elder Wang Ge, what is your best plan?" Liu Minsi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said in a high-pitched voice. "The situation that arises today is not because he did not insist on welcoming the emperor back to Beijing to live in peace. After that, the abolition of the crown prince was delayed, so that the emperor thought that he had an opportunity. ”
"You!" Hearing Liu Minsi's accusation that he was not yin and yang, Wang Wenqi's face turned blue, at that time, he really didn't have many ideas about whether Zhu Qizhen could return to Beijing, the most important thing was that Zhu Qiyu, the great tomorrow, was very reluctant to see his brother return to Beijing, which would affect his throne.
But who would have thought that after Zhu Qizhen stayed in Xuanfu, he would make such a big noise, and even the court could not control it, which is the most worrying and frightening.
And now, in the face of such a situation, Wang Wen is really helpless, and the most important thing is that he has also seen Zhu Qizhen's ambitions, not to mention that since Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne as emperor, he has offended his own brother, the emperor Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen now has an advantage, and in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are difficult to take effect.
Liu Minsi saw that Wang Wen's face changed back and forth, but he couldn't say a word, he became more and more proud, and continued to speak towards Zhu Qiyu: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that the emperor is already inferior to His Majesty when he hunts in the north, naturally, the imperial power belongs to His Majesty, the Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty should be respected by His Majesty, the emperor's current actions are inappropriate, everyone in the world is watching, the minister does not believe that he dares to wave a knife to the Beijing Division, if this is the case, then the military and the people of the world will be together with the ministers and others, for Your Majesty to put on the liver and ...... the "
"Yes, the righteousness is on His Majesty's side, and the emperor dares to violate the ancestral teachings......"
“…… The minister is willing to go to see the emperor alone, and rebuke him with the great righteousness of the country, and the emperor should be ashamed. ”
"......" Wang Wen looked at the officials who jumped out one after another, with a strange smile on his face, as if he had seen an absurd ugly drama, watching these ministers express their loyalty hoarsely there, opening their mouths Confucius said, closing their mouths Mencius Yun, full of loyalty, but they have not been able to come up with a good strategy that can reverse the current disadvantage.
However, under Zhang Yong's persuasion, Zhu Qiyu, who swallowed a pill after taking the tonic decoction, listened with great interest, as if it was really like what they fooled, Zhu Qizhen let this idiot who could only use his mouth to fool him into tears, repented, offered military power, and automatically and consciously went into the small black room to face the wall and introspect for thirty or fifty years until he died of old age.
Wang Wen was in a trance, and vaguely heard that Zhu Qiyu agreed to Liu Minsi's strategy, and ordered people to go to the grassland to spread the edict, ordering all border towns to return to their towns immediately after the end of the war, and wait for the court to report their achievements.
At least the Emperor Taishang, naturally he wants to ask the Emperor Taishang to leave the bitter cold places such as Xuanfu, let go of all past grievances, and live in Beijing for a long time, benefiting from the love of all brothers, in a word, Zhu Qiyu will be able to live in Beijing with peace of mind, and decided to build a palace for Zhu Qizhen to express his sincerity.
Of course, in addition to fooling Zhu Qizhen, there is another major event that has always made Zhu Qiyu unable to let go, that is, to abolish Zhu Qizhen's son Zhu Jianshen's position as the crown prince, and let his own son Zhu Jianji become the prince of the Ming Dynasty in order to inherit the country.
At this moment, Zhu Qiyu, who has been fooled by these nerds into a little overexcited, will certainly not forget this thing that he has always wanted to do since he ascended the throne, so that his son can become his successor and become the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
--------------------“…… The emperor still wants to do this? The Empress Dowager Sun, who was originally squinting her eyes and looking at the book in her hand, couldn't help but turn her head in some astonishment after hearing the whispers of Li Fuzhong who hurried from outside the hall.
Li Fuzhong wiped the sweat on his forehead because he ran too quickly and hung his head respectfully: "Yes, the old slave can be sure of this news, that Chai Shun is going to do this with Wang Qin, and today it is not easy to spread the news, I heard that a scholar is one hundred and fifty taels, a squire, one hundred taels, and all officials above the third grade are all set bribes according to their grades and positions......
"Hehe, okay, what a Ming Emperor, originally, the matter of bribing the cabinet was just in the past, I don't want him to want to do it now, is this still like an emperor? Bribes and ministers can also do such things, so that the monarch is not a king, the minister is not a minister, and then let him continue to do it, what will become of the Ming Dynasty? ”
Sun's face turned red, and the hand that was originally holding the book was now too hard, and even the page was deducted from deep nail marks. "He simply, he just wants to lose the faces of the ancestors of the old Zhu family. Although the mourning family doesn't read much, they at least know that in the history books, no matter how ridiculous the emperor is, I'm afraid he hasn't done this. ”
"Laughing stock, shame ......" The irrepressible voice of the Empress Dowager Sun reverberated in the hall...... After a long time, the Empress Dowager Sun, who calmed down her anger, took a sip of the fragrant tea handed over by the palace maid, and gradually stretched her brows: "Since he has done the first year of junior high school, it is no wonder that the old man has been fifteen, Fuzhong, you send someone to tell the brothers of the mourning family, let them spread the news, the mourning family really wants to take a look, he Zhu Qiyu, since he has the face to do such a thing that has lost the face of the heavenly family, do you have the face to admit it!" ”
"Don't worry, the old slave will do it." Li Fuzhong nodded, and after taking a few steps back respectfully, he turned around and hurried towards the gate of the hall.
"Zhu Qiyu, I really didn't expect that you would actually cast such a faint trick, if the mourning family doesn't take advantage of the situation, I'm really sorry for you." Empress Dowager Sun took a deep breath, looked at the palace where she lived, and thought about the experience of the past two years, and couldn't help but have a sense of relief that she was about to come to an end and jump out of the sea.
Empress Dowager Sun believes that her son, Zhu Qizhen, who is now leading the elite army of the border town of the Ming Dynasty to pacify the grassland, will not let herself down. The time for him to meet his son is near.
"Emperor Taishang, everything the mourning family can do for you, I hope you don't want to let the mourning family, let your father who died early, and the ancestors of the old Zhu family disappoint......" Empress Dowager Sun couldn't help but put her hands together on her chest, silently praying that God could bless Zhu Qizhen so that he could return to her side safely.
When today, in order to abolish the innocent prince so that he can appoint his own son as the crown prince, he actually spent money to bribe hundreds of officials, only two days have passed, and it has spread in the capital city, whether it is the streets and alleys, or the market, and even in the school halls like Guozijian.
As soon as such a shocking scandal came out, the government and the opposition were in an uproar, the Beijing division was in an uproar, and the entire Beizhili was in an uproar...... And because he was unwell, Zhu Qiyu, who was recuperating in the harem, suddenly heard the news from outside the palace, and under the anger, his eyes turned black on the spot and fainted......
