Chapter 77: There is ground movement in the northwest
In the early hours of the morning, Zhu Qiyu went out of the palace on time and walked towards the noon gate in a sedan chair.
Through this period of supervision, especially after the emperor came back, he felt more and more that many things were very different from what he imagined, such as the British princely king, if such a proposal was placed in the past, it would be incredible, but now, it has been decided step by step.
The final title agreed upon by the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites is the King of Jing'an County, which uses the name of Jing'an Prefecture, the political envoy of Jiaozhi, and also has the meaning of pacifying Annan, the meaning of which is self-evident.
Moreover, this title cannot be given casually, and the accompanying requirement is that it must be a vassal within a year, that is, the imperial court will use troops against Annam within a year.
Today's Ming Dynasty, in addition to his emperor's brother, the most capable of fighting is the British Gong Zhang Fu, and now he is also going to fight. Chen Mao, the second Ningyang Hou who could fight, was still quelling the rebellion in Shaxian County, Fujian, and has not returned yet. Jiang Gui, the third capable Dingxi Marquis, had just passed away, and Wang Ji, the Bo of Jingyuan, took over his position as the general of the barbarians, and he is still quelling the rebellion in the southwest Luchuan......
This is also why Dad decided to give up the Nuer Gandu Division and the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Division, today's Daming looks infinitely beautiful, but in fact, internal and external troubles, it is already the end of the strong crossbow, and he can't move the sword soldiers.
It's hard to imagine what would have become of the Ming Dynasty if the Tumubao had lost the First World War......
Zhu Qiyu was closing his eyes in the sedan chair to recuperate, and suddenly felt stopped, so he opened his eyes and asked, "Why did you stop?" ”
"Lord Wang, there is someone blocking the sedan chair in front."
"Oh?" Zhu Qiyu was a little surprised and asked, "What person?" ”
"Looks like a reader, unidentified, do you want to get rid of him......"
"No!" Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said, "Let him come forward." ”
The guards searched for a moment, then let the man go.
"Student Qin Tianjian Si Chen Bei Lin see His Royal Highness King Yu!"
Zhu Qiyu opened the sedan curtain and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”
Belin knelt on the ground, held a complaint in both hands, and said: "The students impeached Li Shimian, the chief of the Qintian Prison, and all the officials of the Qintianjian, and the corpses were vegetarian, disregarding the lives of thousands of people, and the Ming Dynasty!" ”
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he walked out of the sedan chair and asked with a frown, "What's going on?" ”
"The student was originally a Si Chen of the Qin Tianjian, and recently discovered that there was a vision in the northwest direction, speculating that there would be ground movements in the near future, so he successively reported to the Qin Tianjian Lingtailang, Jian Zheng and other chiefs, hoping to play the imperial court, warn in advance, and reduce the occurrence of casualties in the disaster area, but all the officials of the Qin Tianjian ignored it, and in a hurry, the student quarreled with the supervisor Li Shimian, and then was dismissed. It is really a helpless move to stop His Highness's palanquin today, and I ask Your Highness to forgive your sins! ”
Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu asked puzzledly: "You said that there was ground movement in the northwest, but is there any evidence?" ”
Belin said: "Students observe the celestial phenomena for three consecutive days, solar eclipses occur during the day, and the light of the earth appears at night. ”
Zhu Qizhen paced a few steps and asked, "How sure are you?" ”
"Student...... Student ......"
Belin's face was a little hesitant, but thinking of Brother Song's conversation yesterday, he suddenly became resolute and said: "Student is sure that there will definitely be ground movements in the northwest direction, if the imperial court does not warn in advance, the sky will collapse and the earth will fall, the rivers will pour back, the red land will be thousands of miles, and the people will not be able to make a living, please Your Highness must be cautious for the sake of thousands of people!" ”
Zhu Qiyu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Follow behind the sedan chair and go to the palace with this king!" ”
The sky was already dark, and all the ministers gathered in front of the noon gate, just waiting for the palace gate to be opened.
Everyone gathered in groups of three or five to chat, and on weekdays, the king arrived early, but I don't know why he came so late today......
"His Royal Highness has come down!"
I don't know who shouted, everyone looked over, and sure enough, it was the sedan chair of the king of Yu, and they stepped forward to salute.
Zhu Qiyu got off the sedan chair, returned the salute with his fists, and then walked to the front of everyone, waiting to enter the palace.
At this time, someone found that there was a young man next to King Yu, who looked very angry, and couldn't help but whisper.
In the crowd, there was a person with a strange look who quietly came to a sedan chair.
Li Shimian, the supervisor of Qintian, is seventy-five years old this year, and has already reached the age of retirement, and has written to resign three times, but the king has not approved, and people are afraid of the cold when they are old, so they stay in the sedan chair and wait for the palace door to open before going out.
"Li Gong, Li Gong!"
Li Shimian opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The person outside whispered, "The person next to His Royal Highness King Yu seems to be Belin of the Qin Heavenly Prison!" ”
After hearing this, Li Shimian couldn't help frowning, then flashed out of the sedan chair and asked, "Where is it?" ”
"It's the one standing behind King Yu."
Li Shimian slowly stepped forward and looked at it, and sure enough, it was Belin.
Now he was so angry that his beard stood up, this kid dared to quarrel with himself in front of everyone in Qin Tianjian, and he lost all his old face, and he dared to come here?
"The old minister Li Shimian has seen His Royal Highness King Yu!"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "Supervisor Li, please excuse me." ”
"Your Highness!" Li Shimian raised his head, looked at Belin, and asked, "Your Highness, why is this person here?" ”
Belin was young and vigorous, and was about to speak, but was pulled by Zhu Qiyu.
"Li Jianzheng, this king is about to ask you, is this person from Qin Tianjian?"
"Not anymore!" Li Shimian shook his head and said, "This person has no superiors, is unruly, has been dismissed, and now he has nothing to do with Qin Tianjian." ”
"That means he was originally from Qin Tianjian?"
"Back to His Highness, he is just a Si Chen, and he has no grade."
"What is Si Chen's duty?"
"In Qin Tianjian, Si Chen is responsible for reporting the time."
Zhu Qiyu asked again: "How is this person's job?" ”
"Huh!" Li Shimian said with a smile, "No destruction and no reputation, it's okay." ”
Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "This person claims to have discovered a vision in the sky, indicating that there is a movement in the northwest, what does Li Jianzheng think?" ”
"Your Highness, don't listen to this person's nonsense!"
Li Shimian shook his head vigorously and said, "A Si Chen, where do you know what astrological signs?" Lao Chen stargazing at night, there is no disaster in the world, this person exaggerates, grandiose, just want to fight for a reputation, such a person Lao Chen has seen a lot, Your Highness don't be deceived by him! ”
Belin couldn't help it, pointed at Li Shimian's nose and scolded: "Old horseman, you are in a high position and do nothing, the corpse is vegetarian, the fly camp is a dog, and you are shameless!" ”
Li Shimian was so angry that his face turned pale, and he was about to have a heart attack.
"Ignorant child, yellow-mouthed and white-toothed, alarmist, come on, take down this bold maniac and punish him for the crime of disrespecting the chief!"
Belin lost her temper and jumped to her feet and shouted: "Whoever denies it, God hates it, God hates it!" ”
At this time, the time has come, and the palace door is wide open.
"That's it!"
Zhu Qiyu interrupted the quarrel between the two, and said with a calm face: "What's going on, let's go to the palace and say!" ”
