No one is born an emperor, as he ascends the throne for a long time, Zhu Qiyu is developing more and more in the direction of being in line with the emperor's identity, family affection is no longer a priority, and imperial power is the foundation of his life.

The influence of Emperor Zhu Qizhen, who has reigned for more than ten years, cannot disappear in just half a year. As long as he returns to the palace, even if he doesn't consider the loyalty factor of the old ministers of the "previous dynasty", just the title of the son of tomorrow can attract many careerists and unsatisfactory people.

Today's Zhu Qiyu has figured out the hints of Cheng Jing and Shen Yichen at the beginning. As long as the imperial brother lives in this world for one day, he is the biggest threat to himself, even if he can't bear it to the end, he has to do it.

Since ancient times, there has been no room for such a thing as family affection.

Faced with Emperor Jingtai's inquiry, Shen Yichen did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.

Once Shen Yichen thought very simply, that is, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu was ruthless and killed the imperial brother by himself, so that he could never suffer from future troubles, and he could completely change the course of history.

But as Zhu Qiyu showed his imperial qualifications, he forced the Empress Dowager Sun to return to politics and retreat to the harem, and slowly sat on the throne. Shen Yichen looked at it for a longer time, and found that the biggest threat to Emperor Jingtai in the future was actually not Zhu Qizhen, but the crown prince Zhu Jianshen!

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including Empress Dowager Sun, actually silently accepted the reality of Zhu Qiyu becoming the emperor in their hearts, and understood that when Zhu Qizhen returned, the new monarch abdicated and let Xian be wishful thinking, unless it was a coup d'état.

In order to maintain the stability of the Ming Dynasty and avoid the crisis caused by the rivalry between the two emperors, as long as Zhu Qiyu does not treat the Emperor Taishang too much, many people are actually willing to maintain dignity and let Emperor Jingtai be a good transitional emperor in peace, as long as the throne is finally returned to the crown prince Zhu Jianshen.

When the seizure of the door occurred in history, according to the legal system and the order of succession, it was not the turn of Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong to restore at all, on the contrary, the crown prince Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne.

So what many people don't know is that theoretically, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen did not take back his own throne, but took away the throne that should have belonged to his son!

So an extreme problem was placed in front of Shen Yichen, who had God's perspective, even if he killed the Emperor Zhu Qizhen by means, should Zhu Qiyu attack his own nephew in the follow-up to ensure that his country is forever?

And compared with Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, a king of the time, Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen's martial arts after his accession to the throne are no problem to describe as the master of Zhongxing who helped the Ming Dynasty continue his life.

took over the stormy Daming Dynasty, stabilized the Tusi barbarian uprising in the south, quelled the Jianzhou Jurchen rebellion in the northeast, and played the famous "Chenghua Plough Court". Even through several battles such as the Battle of Hongyanchi and the Battle of Weininghai, the Hetao area that had been lost since the Renxuan period was recovered, and the throat of the rise of Mongolia was contained!

The battle report will deceive people, but the battle line will not deceive people, such a wise and martial king, but because of his martial arts and ruthlessness to foreign races, it violates the traditional Confucian image of the "inner sage and outer king".

The focus of the history books is all on the seventeen-year-old "Wan Guifei" who favored the Ming Xianzong, and the reuse of the eunuch Wang Zhi to open the "West Factory", which is sad in a sense.

Of course, this is all many years later, and no one knows whether the current crown prince Zhu Jianshen can become the Ming Xianzong in history.

However, the trend of history may change, and Shen Yichen believes that it cannot be changed, Zhu Qiyu's biggest Achilles' heel in the future is that there is no queen!

The prince Zhu Jianji was frail and sickly from birth, and could not be cured with the medical technology of this era, and finally died at the age of five. And Zhu Qiyu himself is not a long-lived king, he was sick and bedridden before the age of thirty, and he has been such an only son from beginning to end.

If even the crown prince Zhu Jianshen does not let go in order to prevent future troubles, it means that the Ming Xuan Sect will be the heir of the Ming Xuan Sect, then who will inherit the throne of the Great Unification in the future and find a side branch from the descendants of Ming Renzong?

It is not the key to kill Zhu Qizhen or not, the key is that now Shen Yichen cannot predict how Zhu Qiyu, after tasting the supreme power, will treat the crown prince Zhu Jianshen.

From the perspective of a historical prophet, Zhu Jianshen can't die, otherwise Daming will go to an unknown abyss!

"Shen Qing, is this question very difficult?"

Seeing that Shen Yichen was silent for a long time and did not answer, Zhu Qiyu's tone was a little indifferent.

As a king, no one wants a courtier who works for him to always have two hearts. So Zhu Qiyu subconsciously concluded Shen Yichen's silence as his "nostalgia" for Emperor Zhu Qizhen.

Facing Zhu Qiyu's questioning, Shen Yichen took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "The minister hopes that the Ming Dynasty ruled by His Majesty can go far to the Han and Tang Dynasties and cover the Tang Sect and Song Ancestors!" ”

No matter what the circumstances, it is impossible for Shen Yichen to say the words of killing the monarch, but if he compares Zhu Qiyu with Tang Taizong Li Shimin, the answer is self-evident.

The way to treat Zhu Qizhen needs a Ming version of the "Xuanwumen Change"!

Zhu Qiyu understood such a simple and straightforward metaphor, and in a sense, this was also the answer he expected.

Many times people are like this, they have already made a decision in their hearts, but they have never been able to make up their minds, and they need others to kick open the door.

Zhu Qiyu called Shen Yichen to the imperial study for questioning today, in fact, he wanted the other party to help him make up his mind!

got the answer he wanted, but Zhu Qiyu found that there was no imaginary relief, on the contrary, his heart was more like pressing a big stone and gasping for breath.

He was also silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "I know, Shen Qing, you retreat." ”

Now Zhu Qiyu needs a little space of his own, no matter what, he is a sibling brother who grew up together!

"Minister, retire."

Shen Yichen bowed, didn't say a word, and prepared to leave the imperial study.

But just as he was about to turn around and step over the threshold, Zhu Qiyu's voice came again: "I think Shen Qing should be the president of the Jisi Branch Examination, and I think it is better for Shen Qing to serve as the candidate." ”

Shen Yichen was able to give advice on killing the monarch, which almost showed that he would no longer have any involvement with the imperial brother, and completely fell to his side. At the same time, compared with the fear in his heart, Zhu Qiyu cherishes the other party's talent even more, how can there be a perfect person in the world.

Even if Shen Yichen has the ambition of a minister, as long as he can suppress his control of military power, he can use it well for himself.

As the saying goes, those in high positions should be rewarded and punished clearly, and the position of president will be tried, which is the reward that Zhu Qiyu gave Shen Yichen with the "answer".

"Minister, thank you, Your Majesty!"

The prestige and qualifications of the DPRK and China, in addition to getting the first opportunity in the year of entry, also depends on whether he can serve as the examiner of one or even several sessions in the career of a senior official!

For example, Cao Nai, Chen Xun and other officials reached the first assistant of the cabinet, but they were suppressed by the six ministries during their tenure, because they had no opportunity to serve as the president of the examination, and they wanted to select henchmen from the junior officials to cultivate and recommend, but they could not find the most suitable candidate.

Now Zhu Qiyu has let Shen Yichen serve as the president of the examination, which undoubtedly opens another door to power!

The importance and influence of the president of the test, Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu also knew, he looked at Shen Yichen who bowed to him, and added meaningfully: "Shen Qing, don't let me down." ”

"Minister, I will live up to my trust!"

"Go ahead."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand a little self-deprecatingly, this kind of entrustment is actually meaningless, as an emperor, he should not add this sentence.

Shen Yichen naturally saw the self-deprecating look on Zhu Qiyu's face, but he didn't say much, and still took the order to exit the imperial study in an orderly manner.

After walking out of the imperial study, Shen Yichen found that the long-lost sunlight appeared outside the house, dyeing the entire Forbidden City covered in silver with a touch of gold.

"As long as you don't disappoint the people of the world, I won't let you down."

After muttering these words, Shen Yichen strode towards the outside of the palace.

Looking at Shen Yichen's back and leaving, Yin Chengjing, the head of the internal official and supervisor, walked into the imperial study, silently stood beside Zhu Qiyu with a mocking expression, and asked, "Your Majesty, have you made a decision?" ”

Compared with a "foreign minister" like Shen Yichen, Cheng Jing has served as Zhu Qiyu's teacher since the time when he was in the palace of the Emperor of the Emperor's Mansion, and he does not have so many concerns about many things.

"Shen Yichen used Tang Taizong's analogy, he wanted me to follow the Xuanwu Sect's change and kill my brother......"

Hearing Zhu Qiyu's answer, Cheng Jing did not have a surprised look on his face, as early as Shen Yichen, who only temporarily served as the imperial history of the capital during the flood control period in Shandong, dared to punish the king behind his back, and now he dares to mention the killing of the king, it is not surprising.

"Cheng Jing, he is my brother after all, and I promised my mother to welcome the emperor back to the palace, what do you say I should do?"

When he said this, Zhu Qiyu's face was full of pain, as long as he was in front of Cheng Jing, who was absolutely trusting, he could take off his disguise as an emperor and truly express the emotions in his heart.

"If you break it off, you will suffer from it, and if you break it up, you will have trouble."

"Emperor, the execution is never the way of benevolence and righteousness, but the way of the king!"

Cheng Jing has never regarded himself as an emperor, and he has never asked the emperor to call himself Mr. like Wang Zhen.

But this time, like a teacher, he gave Zhu Qiyu a lesson in imperial power.

Hearing Cheng Jing's words, Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was no trace of pain on his face, and it turned into an indifference.

"I know what to do."

"Then the slave and maid will say one more word, Your Majesty must not be in a hurry."

Cheng Jing is an old man who has experienced the rebellion between Jingnan and the King of Han, and the Emperor Zhu Qizhen must die, but he can't die immediately on the way back and after returning to the palace. In this way, even if you are a fool, you will understand that the person who did it is the new king.

If Zhu Qiyu has the control of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, even if it is known to all officials and people, who would dare to raise objections?

But the problem is that the current Zhu Qiyu does not.

Zhu Qizhen is safe and sound, the queen mother will be willing to retire to the harem and no longer interfere in politics, and the ministers who are loyal to the court can maintain the peace on the surface and pin their future expectations on the crown prince Zhu Jianshen.

Once the fragile balance is broken, unless the current Zhu Qiyu can fully control the inside and outside of the court, the Queen Mother will definitely not give up. If you are more ruthless, it is not impossible to contact the foreign ministers to abolish the emperor and support the crown prince to ascend the throne in advance.

Now the ministers of Xun Qi, the princes of the clan, and the princes of the clans, can hardly find one who is really subordinate to Zhu Qiyu.

On the contrary, the veteran relatives who are dissatisfied with the attack on the lord will catch a lot of them!

At some point in the future, the silent "death" is the most suitable way for Emperor Zhu Qizhen.

Listening to Cheng Jing's reminder, Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Don't worry." ”

After saying that, Zhu Qiyu looked out the window, and there was a cold light in his eyes.

On the other side, Shen Yichen walked towards the outside of the palace, but saw Zhao Hongjie waiting for him at the palace gate.

"To the north, Your Majesty didn't pursue you for the crime of defrauding the king, right?"

"Your Majesty forgot."

Shen Yichen replied with a smile, the matter of the Emperor Taishang's upcoming return to the palace is much more important than his "crime of bullying the king", how can Zhu Qiyu still have the heart to care about this.

"Just kidding, but then again, your move is too bold, if Zhu Ji didn't have the impulse to snatch the letter, I don't know how to end it."

"If he can calm this anger, it won't be Zhu Ji."

How to say that they are also "sibling brothers" who grew up with their families in Yingtianfu since childhood, and they are very familiar with Zhu Ji's temperament, and it is no exaggeration to know themselves and know their opponents on him.

If it were another person, it would be impossible for Shen Yichen to use this method.

After chatting a few words about Zhu Ji, Zhao Hongjie glanced around vigilantly, and then lowered his voice and said: "To the north, the emperor was assassinated outside the pass, does this matter have anything to do with you?" ”

In the assassination of Zhu Qizhen, Guo Deng, the commander of Datong, was able to conceal the identity of the assassin as he speculated, but he could not conceal the whole thing. Jin Yiwei, who is a Ming spy agency, has learned about it as soon as possible and is ready to investigate.

Zhao Hongjie had a vague premonition in his heart that this matter might have something to do with Shen Yichen, after all, it was still a little difficult to find the second bold person in the Ming Dynasty.

He had to confirm the matter in person before deciding how to investigate further, otherwise it would be difficult to cover it up if something was found.

"Yes."

Nodding simply, Shen Yichen did not hide it in front of Zhao Hongjie.

Hearing this answer, Zhao Hongjie subconsciously gasped, even if the matter of doing it was too emperor, killing him still belonged to the category of killing the king!

Is Shen Yichen really tired and crooked, dare to do this kind of thing?

After a short period of shock, Zhao Hongjie calmed down and gritted his teeth and said, "I'll find a way to deal with the aftermath." ”

The picture of Han Yong at the beginning, Zhao Hongjie has never forgotten it over the years, he doesn't want anyone to follow in Han Yong's footsteps in order to keep the secret!

"I'm in trouble."

Brothers who were born and died, there are many things that don't need to be said, Shen Yichen patted Zhao Hongjie's arm, and everything was silent.

"By the way, Datong didn't accept it at night and brought a piece of news, the Emperor Taishang seems to have left a dragon seed in the tile thorn, and the pregnant woman is still the sister of the Taishi Yexian."
