Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Castle Sect Has Been Fooled and Crippled
Looking at Yuan Bin's corpse, Zhu Qizhen was stunned.
He sat down on the ground suddenly, his eyes widened, his mouth wide open, completely unable to believe that the scene in front of him was real, and muttered:
"I don't even have the last relative..."
"Please mourn on the Emperor's Day." Wang Cheng waited respectfully on the side, his face was full of sincerity, but in fact, the corners of his mouth inadvertently curled a little, and said:
"Tomorrow, the slave maid will formally negotiate with the Emperor to return to Beijing, and if Warat has the sincerity to return it, the Emperor can return to Beijing."
"Queen Mother, I'm still waiting for you there."
Hearing Sun Ruowei, Zhu Qizhen seemed to forget Yuan Bin for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Is the queen mother, queen mother, how is she doing in the capital?" ”
"Okay." Wang Cheng's answer was very simple, and then he said quietly: "Not only the Queen Mother, but also Empress Qian Taishang misses the Emperor Taishang very much, crying all day long, praying for the Emperor's blessings. ”
"And so he was blind in one eye and lame in one leg."
When he heard the second half of the sentence, the smile on Zhu Qizhen's face gradually dissipated, and he stood up and asked in shock: "Your eyes can cry blind, how do you cry lame in your legs?" ”
Wang Cheng shook his head and said helplessly:
"In this matter, if the Emperor Taishang can return to Beijing, he still has to ask the Queen Mother in person, the slave maid is just a tea and water hander, where do you know so much."
Zhu Qizhen and the Qian family have always had a harmonious relationship, and when he learned that the Qian family still did not abandon him, he was even more moved in his heart, and he was shocked and angry when he heard the words, and he was completely overjoyed.
He clenched his fists and said, "Princess, you tell me directly, did the Queen Mother do it?" ”
Wang Cheng looked speechless and stopped.
"This, the Emperor, you better go back and ask yourself, the slave can only tell you that this matter is not that simple."
"My younger brother is now the emperor, haven't you checked it?" Zhu Qizhen kicked over the table in front of him, and became extremely angry.
"The eyes can cry blind, how can the legs cry lame?"
"It's ridiculous!"
"Is it that vicious woman of the Zhou family, taking advantage of my absence, to bully my Queen Qian?"
After all, Zhu Qizhen has been an emperor for fourteen years, even if he doesn't know soldiers, generals, or state affairs, he always knows what his harem is like.
The grievances between Concubine Zhou and Queen Qian are not a day or two, they have a origin in the Orthodox Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen has always wanted to abolish this concubine, but because of Sun Ruowei's obstruction, this has not been done.
As soon as he heard that his beloved Qian was now blind and lame, Zhu Qizhen's elm head suddenly became enlightened.
When Wang Cheng heard this, he sighed: "The Emperor Taishang is so smart, and the slaves and maids will not hide it from you, otherwise you will find out sooner or later when you return to the capital in the future." ”
When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he was even more sure of his own guess in his heart.
Wang Cheng continued: "Your Majesty has not gone to investigate, this matter, Your Majesty was as angry as you when he first heard about this matter, and personally went to the harem to investigate, even the current Queen Wang also went. ”
"The result?" Zhu Qizhen asked coldly.
Wang Cheng sighed deliberately and said: "At that time, the Emperor Taishang was arrested and called the door outside the city, His Majesty had just succeeded to the throne, and the people of the Jingshi were unstable, and there was the Queen Mother's constraints, so there was no way to investigate. ”
Zhu Qizhen calmed down at this time, and said with a smile: "I have already guessed that I, the queen mother, is good at everything, but I like to control me, which is not good at all!" ”
"When I return to Jingshi, I must ask the queen mother clearly!"
When Wang Cheng heard this, his eyes rolled, and he said excitedly: "If the Emperor Taishang really has this intention, he should give the slave and maid a letter, and once things change, the slave and maid can return to Beijing and hand it over to Your Majesty." ”
"At that time, Your Majesty will have a handwritten letter from the Emperor, and it will be reasonable to re-examine this matter."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, just in case!" Zhu Qizhen thought about it for a while, and was even more in love with his beloved Queen Qian, so he took a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and sat down to write.
Wang Cheng stood aside, looking at the emperor who was struggling to write, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
That is, for Zhu Qizhen, if he was really in Beijing, in front of Zhu Di, Wang Cheng would not dare to have any crooked thoughts at all, because he knew that the master must be able to see it.
Wang Cheng has always had a feeling that he can be seen through at any time by Zhu Di's side, and the eyes of the emperor are very different from the eyes of the emperor in front of him.
......
June of the first year of Jingtai.
Qianqing Palace.
In the month that Wang Cheng was on his mission, a lot of things happened in Beijing, but they were all under Zhu Di's control.
The ministers are still fighting among themselves, and Zhu Di's edict to the cabinet to kill more than 100 former ministers is still in the middle of the process, and such a holy decree will not dare to be issued unless the cabinet does not want to do it.
Zhu Di didn't think that they could send it directly, mainly to see what kind of reaction these people had after hearing about it.
Some people are afraid, some people are worried, and some people jump over the wall in a hurry because of this, and begin to impeach and criticize each other.
The assets obtained from the seizure of the family have also greatly filled the deficit of the nine-sided army since the orthodoxy of the past 14 years, although it is not enough, but it is also enough to alleviate the urgent need.
On this day, Zhu Di was sitting in the Qianqing Palace to review the recital.
Zhu Di left behind the habits of the previous life, very diligent government, originally in the orthodox dynasty of seven or eight days of the court meeting, Zhu Di first changed to three days, which has caused many courtiers to be dissatisfied, because they have been raised by Zhu Qizhen lazy.
In June, Zhu Di even sent an edict to the cabinet and changed it to a daily court.
Emperor Jingtai ascended the throne in danger, first solved the crisis in Beijing, and then spread the story that the dynasty was approaching every day, just like the old system of Yongle.
It's a good thing to spread this, and it's a holy thing.
Therefore, there is no reason for the cabinet to refuse this kind of edict, and although the head of the cabinet, Wang Zhizhi, is unwilling to do so, he still votes happily.
As for the ministers, although they have their own thoughts, some of them don't want to get up because of lazy cancer, and some of them are afraid that Emperor Jingtai will control the government and it will be unfavorable to him, but it is always good to say.
The emperor wants to be diligent in government, and you don't support it as a courtier, but persuade people to do it for a few days like the orthodox emperor Zhu Zhaomen, is it like words?
Is this what a courtier should do?
Dare to mention this kind of thing, I'm afraid it's not that the official has been doing it for too long.
In addition to shouting Emperor Shengming and expressing his support, the ministers had nothing to do about Zhu Di's sudden diligent administration.
As a result, the court meeting of the Jingtai Dynasty is now held every morning.
The ministers couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, could it be that this Jingtai is really a self-sage monarch and the reincarnation of Emperor Taizong?
In fact, this is one of the means by which Zhu Di wants to grasp the government as soon as possible after regaining power.
In Zhu Di's current opinion, if the emperor does not go to court, what else will he rely on to maintain the government?
At that time, after Jingnan seized Jinling, Zhu Di also did the same, every day, these courtiers under him needed to wear the mask of their loyalty to the monarch and the country every day.
After a long time, there will always be people who show their feet.
When the time comes, there will be revenge, and there will be revenge.
For Zhu Di, there are many benefits of the previous dynasty, not just for diligence.
On this day, a piece of news spread from Guangzhou to the Qianqing Palace.
The Guangdong mob rebellion, which lasted for nearly a year, was finally put down last month, and the leader of the thieves, Huang Xiaoyang, was dead, and Yu Kou was only surviving under the courageous pursuit of the official army.
The officers and soldiers who pacified the thieves began to go to Beijing last month to offer their victory, and now they have arrived outside Beijing.
