Chapter 196: There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is king
When Zhu Youzhen really sat down on the dragon chair, he raised his head to look at the civil and military ministers in the hall, and only felt that there was a feeling of seeing all the mountains at a glance, and the Ming Dynasty and the mountains were in his hands, and the excitement in his heart and the majesty of the emperor arose, and he understood at this time that it was the feeling of sitting on the dragon chair and becoming the emperor.
Well. It turns out that there is a reason why so many people fight to the death in order to ascend to the position of the emperor.
They even killed each other, father and son, just for such a position, but in this way, Zhu Youzhen really understood what they thought at that time.
Very few people are able to keep their hearts calm under such temptations.
The ministers of the Donglin Party below, as well as those ministers who have been bought by the Donglin Party, looked at Zhu Youzhen above, and they were also extremely excited.
They have no chance of usurping the throne, but this usurpation is not in their consideration, no matter how the Donglin Party is, he is not surnamed Zhu, and he can only be spurned by the people of the world when he ascends the throne. They are still very sober about this, so they don't have such thoughts in their hearts at all.
However, as long as Zhu Youzhen can ascend to the throne, it means that their Donglin Party's future governance concept can be implemented, and they and others will soon become the actual controllers of the entire imperial court and the entire world.
Zhu Youzhen's character, they are really very clear, as far as Zhu Youzhen's character is concerned, it will not be at their mercy at will at that time.
Subsequently, the ministers of the Donglin Party directly gave Zhu Youzhen a number of twists and turns, and the twists and turns in them were nothing more than to commend all the meritorious ministers who served Zhu Youzhen in his position.
Whether it is the minister of the Donglin Party, or Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, and his generals, they are all looking forward to this matter.
For such a request, Zhu Youzhen has directly agreed to all of them, and now he has to let them drink soup when he eats meat.
Subsequently, these Donglin party members gave Zhu Youzhen another note, which was nothing more than asking Zhu Youzhen to issue a holy decree to dismiss all these Donglin party members, and those eunuch ministers who committed the most heinous crimes were directly thrown into prison.
Although the Donglin party people understood that the main force of the eunuch party had already been arranged to leave the capital in advance, the remaining ones could not be regarded as the main force of the eunuch party at all, they were at best a wall-riding faction or ostensibly defected to the eunuch party, but in fact they were still the kind of wall-riding faction.
But as soon as the Donglin Party got up, how could they care so much about them, anyway, they saw who was in a high position and whose position was easier to make money, but at the same time, they were not from the Donglin Party, and they all became the targets of their attacks.
The same is true for the eunuch ministers who left the capital, if they leave the capital, it is not a big deal, the official position, they have to take him away, and then they can arrange for their Donglin Party people to take the position.
Now the Forbidden City is controlled by Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, but it is still very easy for them to send letters out, with Zhu Youzhen's decree and the recommendation of the Donglin Party, the Donglin Party ministers all over the country are blessed, and there are so many vacant positions in the imperial court, how can they let it go?
One letter after another was sent out from the capital, and the destination was the residence of those Donglin Party members, some of whom had been dismissed by Zhu Youxiao before, and some of them had resigned directly because they saw that the situation was not right.
But it doesn't matter, the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, aren't they Donglin Party members back in power now? However, this Zhu Youzhen did not forget to do a full set of things, and they began to mourn for Zhu Youxiao.
A mourning hall was set up in the Forbidden City, although Zhu Youxiao's body had not yet been transported, Zhu Youzhen thought about it, and this matter was not very reliable.
After all, he still wanted to see the body of his brother Zhu Youxiao, so he brought that Hui Shiyang over and said to him, "Scholar Hui." ”
That's right, the current Hui Shaoqing has become a scholar of Hui University, which can be regarded as Zhu Youzhen's repayment to him. Every time Hui Shiyang heard people call him a scholar, his heart always trembled, and the flush immediately came to his face, which was obviously excited.
"Your Majesty, the minister is here, if Your Majesty has any orders, the minister will immediately send someone to do it."
Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said, "If it's something idle, I can send someone else to do it right away, and I won't specifically recruit you here." ”
"But my brother has been killed in battle in the north, and now he has not even seen his body, so you can send messengers to negotiate with the leader of the Jiannu, and ask them to return the body of their brother, and we can pay them a sum of silver."
Hui Shiyang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and they suddenly thought, yes, they haven't seen Zhu Youxiao's corpse yet, it's not that Zhu Youxiao's corpse hasn't been seen yet, they don't even know what the situation is in the north now.
Although it stands to reason that this Zhu Youxiao must have been defeated, but how miserable the defeat was, and whether this Zhu Youxiao was really dead, he didn't know very well.
Hui Shiyang complained a little in his heart about the two guards at Xifengkou and received so many silver taels from them, it stands to reason that now the battle between Zhu Youxiao and Jiannu has ended, why don't you see the two guards of Xifengkou write two letters back and explain to them what the situation in the north is now?
Actually, how could they know. The first thing Zhu Youxiao did when he went to Xifengkou. is to slaughter the two guards first.
That Zhu Youzhen saw that Hui Shiyang didn't speak, and thought that he was making trouble for this matter.
He thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter was indeed not easy to do, so he sighed and said, "It is true that those Jiannu are used to the lion's mouth, and the corpse of the elder brother is such an important trophy, how can they return it to us so easily if they get the corpse of the elder brother." ”
"Presumably, even if we want to redeem him back, it will not be easy, and you said that this Jiannu is about to come to the capital, why haven't you seen any movement in the past two days, is it that this Jiannu has avoided our capital and attacked other places. You go down and have a good discussion with Cheng Guogong, send more scouts out, and let those spies find out the current movements of Jiannu, we can't be too passive after all. ”
Hui Shiyang was a little distracted, but he reluctantly came back to his senses and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will discuss with Cheng Guogong right away and ask them to send spies quickly." Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much, we will definitely recover the body of the former emperor. ”
When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he didn't know how to feel in his heart, he always felt that Hui Shiyang's words were weird, as if he Zhu Youzhen couldn't feel at ease if he didn't see Zhu Youxiao's body.
