078 Yu Qian's temptation met with setbacks, and the new monarch treated Wang Ji as a soldier
The atmosphere in the hall soon cooled down, and the other ministers also sensed that something was wrong, and raised their heads one after another, looking at the emperor curiously.
Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to reply: "The 100,000 Varat cavalry that also came first are extremely elite and unstoppable. I'm so scared, I can't sleep well every night.
In this way, Chen You was promoted to the governor of Tongzhi, and asked him to go to Nanjing to select and transfer 3,000 elite officers and soldiers, enter the king of Qin, and resist Wara. Yu Shangshu, you let him serve the country well, and when he made meritorious contributions in the defense of Beijing, I will be rewarded. ”
After that, Zhu Qiyu sighed heavily, and complained in his heart: Alas, I will also give you face, just accept it when you see it, don't give me endless questions.
When Yu Qian heard this, he hurriedly bowed down to serve the edict. Although it was only a small test of the emperor, the power of the sky was unpredictable, and the emperor's cold gaze still made people stab in the back.
However, from the emperor's reaction, Yu Qian came to two conclusions: on the bad side, the emperor was too sensitive to military and political affairs, and as soon as he heard his proposal, he knew that he wanted to send Chen You to take elite soldiers to the southwest to spy on Wang Ji.
On the good side, the emperor's pattern is really big: Wang Ji commands 150,000 elite soldiers, and he is the one who has the most troops in the Ming Dynasty today, and he is also a hardcore confidant of the emperor.
The emperor didn't even have the idea of being suspicious of Wang Ji at all, and he wanted grain for food, soldiers for soldiers, officials should be sealed, and power should be delegated. Anyone else has to admit that the new monarch really has nothing to say about Wang Ji, so he almost has to dig out his heart and lungs.
The emperor treated Wang Ji like this today, will he treat me like this to Yu Qian in the future?
Yu Qian was thinking about it, so he listened to Zhu Qiyu continue: "According to the cabinet's plan, Wang Ji will be crowned as the crown prince and young protector, and his title of Earl of Jingyuan will be changed to hereditary replacement.
In the will, tell him that the army lacks nothing and what is missing, although he wants it from me, and do not have any worries. After the Luchuan Si clan was given the head and the Miao Rebellion was completely pacified, I did not hesitate to reward the marquis. ”
As soon as Zhu Qiyu's words came out, the ministers present immediately exploded.
The ministers didn't dare to get angry at the emperor, so they all glared at Yu Qian angrily, and scolded angrily in their hearts: "You said that you are Yu Shangshu, what is wrong with doing something, you have nothing to do to stimulate the emperor to do something."
Originally, the emperor was good, you didn't tease and tease him, but now it's okay, the emperor is crazy, and even the emperor has said such things as giving civil officials and marquis.
Wang Ji was originally an unhereditary Jing Yuanbo, which was already above other civil servants. Now that the title has become hereditary, the emperor has also given the promise of the marquis, and this has become the first minister. ”
Yu Qian was also a little dumbfounded, he really didn't expect the emperor to be crazy to this extent.
Zhu Qiyu took in everyone's reactions, and sneered in his heart: If you don't provoke your group of civil servants, you should join forces to fight me. I have to make you disagree with each other and compete with each other, so that I can sleep in peace.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhu Qiyu continued: "According to the cabinet's proposed decree, Zhang Hui was promoted to the former military governor's office, and he was specially led to escort the general.
In addition, tomorrow morning, let Shi Heng, Sun Bo, and Xu Hui come to see me.
Also, since the beginning of this year, the recitals of officials in Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan provinces, as well as Yang Hong's recitals this year, have been taken for me to see. ”
The ministers didn't bother to pay attention to these things, and they wanted to retire after being ordered by the edict.
Zhu Qiyu finally asked one more question: "Uncle Zong, has the mission we sent to the camp first?" ”
Hu Hui replied: "Your Majesty, according to the distance, it should have arrived a few days ago. It's just that he ran around first, and the mission was afraid that it would take a few more days for the mission to find his specific location. Therefore, the minister estimated that if it went well, the mission would have just arrived at the Warat camp. ”
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, you guys go." Take a break and don't get too tired. ”
The ministers retired one after another, and went back to Wenyuan Pavilion to complain to each other.
Zhu Qiyu sent away the ministers, so he had time to eat breakfast, and took Chaoyun and Duyu back to the backyard.
The three of them had planned to take a walk around the garden and then went back to their rooms to rest. When I walked to the lake, I heard the crackling and crackling sound in the Xuanyun Xuan.
Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "What is this for, is it haunted in broad daylight?" ”
Twilight Yu smiled, "Husband is stupid, that's the voice of the plan." Didn't you raid the house yesterday, at this time it should be the princess and her sisters in it to settle accounts. ”
"Then we'll have to go and see it, and I want to know how rich we are now."
So the three of them pushed the door in, only to see a few large desks in the Xuanzhong, on which were placed a handful of account books. Twelve women were neatly gathered around the table, each with an abacus.
Eleven of them were preoccupied with settling accounts, and they didn't care about distraction. Only Lin Xiangyu sat leisurely in the middle, holding the prince and the princess, and unhurriedly taught the two little guys to use abacus to calculate some simple addition and subtraction.
Lin Xiangyu saw the three of them coming in, and hurriedly beckoned: "Yo ho, our one of the few rich men in Beijing is here, come and come, come and sit here, and let the slave family stammer your old man." ”
Zhu Qiyu hurriedly sat next to Lin Xiangyu, hugged his little princess and teased: "How much money did we copy back?" So much so that our little princess, who was extremely elegant and cold in front of people, became a little money fan who tended to be inflammatory, worshipping high and low. ”
Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "Originally, there were only 800,000 taels of silver left in our family, but these three families copied it down and turned it into 1.5 million taels of silver, and the total amount of gold in our family exceeded 300,000 taels."
This money is enough to support the 10,000 guards in the mansion for fifteen years. ”
Zhu Qiyu was overjoyed when he heard this, and was just about to flatter, but suddenly thought about it: "That's not right." According to you, if I were to raise an army of 150,000, the money would only be enough to spend a year? ”
Lin Xiangyu teased when she heard this: "My dear emperor grandfather, your old man just knew." As far as the treatment you give to the 10,000 guards, 30,000 taels a Chinese New Year's Eve are all slaves who are careful to save flowers. ”
"Oh, that's not bad, 10,000 guards are not enough for us to survive in this treacherous capital. I've calculated that if we want to live well, we must have at least 30,000 guards.
If you want to live a little more comfortably and freely, you need to have 50,000 guards. The money we have now is only enough to support 50,000 relatives for three years, so what are you playing? Let's pack up our belongings and hurry back to Qi to become a vassal. ”
Lin Xiangyu smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, husband, we still have 5,000 hectares of land now, and we can be regarded as a super landlord in the capital." Even compared to other vassal kings, our family is barely considered a rich domain. ”
Zhu Qiyu was anxious when he heard this: "What do you mean by barely counting?" ”
"Our family's wealth is far worse than that of the King of Shu and the King of Chu, maybe we can barely compare with the Zhou Wang's family, it's such a level."
Zhu Qiyu slapped the table: "No, continue to copy." ”
"Let's finish copying like this, doesn't the Queen Mother have any opinions?"
"My princess, I am now an emperor. As a result, I didn't touch the slightest bit of internal money, and I didn't ask for any offerings in the palace. Isn't it just that a few eunuchs' houses have been copied now, and the queen mother is embarrassed to object? This is too bad to be a person. ”
Speaking of the queen mother, Zhu Qiyu put her arm around Lin Xiangyu, held it on top of the warm fragrance of nephrite, and asked with a smile: "If the princess wants to be the queen, there is an opportunity in front of her."
The Empress Dowager wanted to transfer her grandson's in-law, Liu Pu, Marquis of Anyuan, back to take charge of the military power in Beijing. If I trade with her as the queen, the queen mother will agree if she doesn't want to. ”
Lin Xiangyu turned her head and glared at Zhu Qiyu fiercely, took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve, held it with her jade hand, and covered it on her chest, so as not to bump into the two little dolls when she had no intention of turning back, and then sneered:
"The position of a queen is also worth paying such a big price for it, and the slave family is not so unproductive. Besides, how good it is to be the princess of Qi outside the palace, I also promised the prince and princess, and when I repelled Wara, I would take them to Yuquan Mountain to soak in the hot springs. ”
