Chapter Forty-Seven: Determined to Conquer in Person

When Yan Qi came to see him, there seemed to be a figure behind the curtain.

Playing things alone, this is not in itself in order, and there are people behind the curtain, which is even more unruly.

The emperor was in his prime, but the harem began to interfere in politics, and the Hongyin Dynasty never had such a precedent.

Hmph, the demon concubine is chaotic, it seems to be true.

Yan Qi began to feel uneasy in his heart, is this Hongyin Dynasty's qi really exhausted?

He stepped forward, still solemnly saluted.

The emperor sat on it, not anxious because of the rebellion in Yuzhou, but calm.

Yan Qi sighed in his heart, this Pennsylvania cloth merchant really has a bit of the calm air of an emperor now.

"Your Majesty, the matter of Yuzhou, the minister received a secret report.

The four princes have the intention of peace talks, if His Majesty is willing to let Chan, he can be honored by Pennsylvania, and the envoy is already on the way to Haojing, and will enter Beijing in a few days.

Please Your Majesty must put the foundation of the country first, and do not take it lightly. ”

After Yan Qi finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at the emperor's face.

"I know, the scholar is really loyal and brave to the country, and he is a rare virtuous minister."

"Don't dare, when it comes to the king, the minister has to say that this is the duty of the minister." Yan Qi thought that the state affairs were undecided, but the emperor was so brisk, there must be a solution to it, and listen to him.

"Well, I often hear the Queen Mother talk about the history of the previous dynasty, and I know that the mother of the fourth prince is a tribute girl of Xiangjun, and she is not a family background.

However, because I was waiting for a bath in the hot spring, I was lucky. When Emperor An Lie was there, he often scolded him for being unscrupulous. ”

Yan Qi saw that the emperor was not angry, but was reasoning slowly, and all kinds of dissatisfaction with the new emperor were slowly smoothed out.

"Yes, the fourth prince is indeed the most unusable prince of the first emperor, that is, the young seventh prince, it is said that he is also very smart, more than a hundred times stronger than the fourth prince."

Yan Qi pondered the words, it has only been more than two years, and the new emperor has matured too much, especially after Yun Jieyu entered the palace, he seems to have changed a person, and he is more comfortable in handling political affairs.

"If the third prince is still alive, I should abdicate and make way for Xian." When the emperor said this, he was full of sincerity.

"The Queen Mother is a family of astrological relatives, back then, after strict calculations, she responded to the mandate of heaven and obeyed the people's feelings, and selected me to ascend the throne, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had no objections.

The Queen Mother is thousands of miles away, and she came to Penn to greet her in person, and I can't bear her, let alone the people of the world. ”

When the emperor said that he was moved, the corners of his eyes moistened. In the direction of Shoukang Palace, he hugged his fists to show his respect for the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty is wise, as long as you don't have the intention of making peace, then the next thing will be easy to do."

Yan Qi put his mind at ease, if the fourth prince returned to Haojing, he really didn't have a good life.

When the third prince died of illness, he tried his best to prevent the fourth prince from becoming the crown prince.

I remember that at that time, the four princes were in the limelight, and they recruited people everywhere to recommend themselves.

The mother concubine of the six princes has always been favored, and there has been no change.

Yan Qi and these old ministers really couldn't stand it, so they jointly signed a book together, reprimanding him for not thinking about his brother's new feelings and going against the rules.

Although Emperor An Lie received the transcript and did not send it, he also privately reprimanded the four princes.

Since that time, the fourth prince has been particularly unsightly to Yan Qi and Fan Hu, who are old ministers and ministers.

"Although I am a branch of a distant sect and inherit the unification, I am also the emperor of the Hongyin Dynasty, how can I retreat and give up lightly?

Let Taizu's face remain? Where will the face of the clan remain? ”

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, there is no reason to retreat and give up, but I don't know who Your Majesty wants to exterminate the rebels. The minister remembered that when General Ruoshui was in Xiangjun, no one was willing to put down the rebellion. ”

Although it is true, this truth is too embarrassing. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were helpless against the mountains and rivers, and watched her wander around the frontier of the empire, and finally sailed directly to the sea.

The emperor listened to Yan Qi not shy away from talking about Ruoshui, and he was also uncomfortable with the boss in his heart.

But because of this, he knew that Yan Qi was indeed a loyal minister, and he was seriously considering the candidates for the expedition, rather than simply choosing war or peace.

Everyone else can choose peace talks, but they can't.

I always remember the small riot in the spring of the first year of Hongqing, and the words that Empress Dowager Jiang said.

She is the queen of Emperor Anlie, and whoever comes to Haojing will also respect her as the queen mother.

Similarly, those old ministers are also old ministers from the time of Emperor Anlie, and whoever becomes the emperor will have no impact on them.

In the meantime, many people are afraid that they have already been connected with the four princes, and this son is secretly rejoicing there.

The emperor suppressed his unhappiness and said firmly and calmly:

"Our Hongyin Dynasty has always established the country by force, and I plan to conquer the traitors in person."

His voice was not loud, but it shook Yan Qi's ears.

In the early summer, the emperor personally conquered the Wuyan country, although the war went well, but the lord of the Wuyan country was seriously ill, and the two eldest princes supported the army and respected themselves, and the border pass was empty, so that they could connect ten cities in a month.

Although the emperor won a victory in his own conquest, it was only a coincidence. Now Yuzhou Mu and the four princes have been preparing for half a year, which cannot be compared.

But Yan Qi just lowered his body and chanted loudly:

"The old minister bows, may Your Majesty be victorious and triumphant as soon as possible. Just ......"

"It's just what, scholar."

"It's just that rumors have been boiling in the capital, saying that although it is unknown that the four princes started the war, if they are exterminated, they will be charged with fighting in the same room.

What's more, the four princes are the sons and daughters of Emperor Anlie. ”

"I already know what the scholar said. You stand down. ”

Yan Qi bowed his head and retired, fulfilling the etiquette of a formal meeting.

When he exited the Guande Palace, he was still thinking about why this young emperor showed such composure in the face of the challenge of imperial power.

It's really incomprehensible, does he already have the magic weapon to defeat the enemy?

But even if there is a good way to use soldiers, how can they face the doubts of the ministers in the DPRK and China?

After all, the four princes have the legitimacy to ascend the throne.

Just when the entire Haojing City was filled with the haze of impending winter snow, the envoys of the four princes entered Beijing.

The courtiers were waiting to see this good show, and the two countries were always at war, and they did not kill the envoys, and this kind of diplomatic envoys often chose people with sharp tongues, and the words and swords were very interesting.

Unexpectedly, this time it failed, and the emperor didn't see the messenger at all, so he sent him back.

Three days later, at the beginning of the snow, Emperor Xuande personally led the three armies and marched to Yuzhou.

The queen mother sat in the palace, and from the time she entered Yuzhou, the battle report was delivered to the palace every other day.

November, the third day of the first lunar month, Kejin Liangguan.

On the fifth day of the first month, Keliang City.

On the seventh day of the first month, cross the Jing River.

On the ninth day of the first month, climb over Taishan.

Eleven, to Jingyang City, besieged the city.

Thirteen, Kejingyang City, captured the four princes and Yuzhou Mu.

No one thought that the pro-campaign would go so smoothly.

In addition, Emperor Xuande announced at the head of the city that this pro-conquest was only for the rebellious leaders, and the rest of the rebellion was graceful and would not be pursued.

The voices of the people of Jingyang City praising the emperor fluttered and soared into the sky.
