When it was the ministers' turn to do something, Chen Xun replied first: "Your Majesty, there are 2,307 cooks in Guanglu Temple, who went out with the Emperor Taishang and got lucky. The ministers asked each of them to give him a horse of cloth as a reward for his labor. ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Dare to ask Chen Ge Lao, how many cooks are there in Guanglu Temple?" How many cooks did the Emperor Taishang bring with him when he was on the expedition, and what were these cooks responsible for in the army? ”

Chen Xun had no choice but to reply: "There are more than 4,000 cooks in Guanglu Temple, and the Emperor Taishang took away more than 2,300 people, and basically all of them fled back. These cooks were responsible for following the main force of the Emperor's army and cooking for the soldiers. ”

Zhu Qiyu continued to shake his head and smiled bitterly: Isn't this right, you said that Wara surrounded the emperor's army in Tumu Fort and wiped out the Ming army.

So how did these cooks get out with all their beards and tails? Two thousand three hundred people, basically no losses, such a big goal, how did you break through the heavy encirclement of the Warat cavalry?

The ministers glanced at each other, and they could basically guess what the emperor was thinking. The ministers asked Chen Xun to play such a thing with the emperor, just to test the emperor's attitude.

At the end, Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Just play it with Aiqing." ”

Because he promised to share wealth with the ministers yesterday, Zhu Qiyu, as an emperor who keeps his promises, can only turn a blind eye.

Then Wang Wen stood up again and said: "Your Majesty, the triage of the three divisions of Taitong Town Eunuch Guo Jing has ended. The opinions given by the three divisions, Guo Jingsu and Wang Zhen are close, over the years, more steel arrowheads, with urns to shengzhi, to leave the envoys. In return, he also bribed Wang Zhen and Guo Jing with good horses and other things every year.

The defeat of Song Ying and other Yanghekou was also caused by Guo Jing's autocracy, and in the end, 40,000 soldiers were wiped out. His guilt should be executed by Ling Chi, please ask Your Majesty to make a judgment. ”

"Ling Chi was executed? Is it necessary to rise to this level? ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head again: The ministers have already killed the red eye, and now they see which eunuch wants to Ling Chi's family, one Guo Jing, one Xining, plus Wang Zhen. Fortunately, Wang Zhen is already dead, and there is no way to be late.

The defeat of Yanghekou was all planted on Guo Jing's head, and the defeat of Tumubao was all planted on Wang Zhen's head, so which eunuch do you want to plant the defeat of Harrier Ridge? Anyway, it's just that you ministers didn't make any mistakes.

It's a pity that Zhu Qiyu didn't want to be angry with the ministers today, so he waved his hand again: "Let's sentence it like this, but put Guo Jingxian in prison." ”

The ministers were reluctant, but the emperor insisted repeatedly, and finally had to agree to lock up Guo Jing first.

Zhu Qiyu successfully jumped over the small pit dug by the ministers again: an emperor, if he can't move the eunuch Ling Chi, which eunuch will dare to follow the emperor in the future. Killing people is not too much, no matter how big the crime is, it is enough to give a halving, why not Ling Chi's family.

Next, the ministers played their work, and Zhu Qiyu nodded again and again while flipping through the notebook. Now that the general strategy against the enemy has been decided, the ministers are just playing some things such as issuing weapons and armor to the soldiers, organizing the people to help defend the city, and so on.

Just when the ministers were competing to play, Zhu Qiyu suddenly held a copy of the music book and laughed.

The ministers were bewildered by the emperor's sudden move and looked at each other.

Zhu Qiyu smiled at Shang and asked, "Bachelor Shang, do you know that there is a prisoner named Yao Xian in Guozijian?" ”

When the ministers heard the emperor's words, their faces were surprised. Shang Chen was even more shocked: the emperor just asked himself by chance, or did he do it on purpose? Was the Emperor really so perceptive?

Frightened, Shang Yu immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that Yao Xian and the minister are both orthodox people for nine years. Later, Yao Xiandian failed the exam, so he entered the Guozijian to study. ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he handed the notebook to Shang Chen: "Let's read Yao Xian's notebook to everyone, and start reading it from the middle, which is 'the imperial court repairs the Great Longxing Temple'." ”

Shang Shi had to take the notebook, read it once, and then recited it again: "The imperial court repaired the Dalongxing Temple, which is extremely extravagant and magnificent, and the ballad of the Beijing master says: The ointment of the people, the marrow of the laborers, shall not shelter from the wind or the rain."

And the Chongguo Temple Yang Zen Master respected as the master, the ritual is the same as the king, sitting on the beauty of the ointment beam, wearing the splendid flower, depending on the king as a disciple, light prince like a child.

Since then, natural disasters have been frequent, Hu Lu has committed crimes, Emperor Taishang has been left in the thief's court, and the national teachers and monks talk and laugh freely.

I wish Your Majesty to order the master and the monks, with the power of the Buddha, to go to the court of thieves, and send the oracle back to Beijing. It can be seen that the Buddha protects the country to show the effect of respect, otherwise the Buddha is not enough to respect and believe, and it is clear.

In the future, Buddhism will no longer be advocated, and the law of all generations will be realized. Every time the minister thinks about driving in the desert, he is overwhelmed with grief, so he dares to say a word, and he is not dying. ”

Zhu Qiyu listened to Shang Zhi and said with a chuckle: "The bachelor of commerce is worthy of being a great talent of three yuan and first, and he can recite it at a glance." Tell me that you, a person of the same age, dare to have a proposal to destroy the Buddha, is it a crime that deserves death? ”

Shang Zhen felt bitter in his heart: Isn't it just the same year, what does it matter to me? Emperor, you don't ask so many important bigwigs next to you, ask me what I'm doing, how do I know what to do?

The heart was bitter, and he couldn't help but answer, so he had to reply: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the proposal to destroy the Buddha is impossible, but Yao Xian is not guilty to death." ”

Zhu Qiyu refused to let go of the business, and continued to ask: "You said that he was not guilty to death, that is, he admitted that he was guilty?" ”

Shang Yu had no choice but to reply: "The minister thinks that Yao Xian is guilty of slandering the Buddha." ”

"How should that be punished?"

"Weichen thinks that it is enough to let him return to his hometown and read and think about it behind closed doors."

Zhu Qiyu asked the others again: "What about you, do you agree with the views of the business bachelor?" ”

Others agreed, and there was no difference in opinion.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said with a smile: "Put the content of this recital into the newspaper and spread it to the whole country, so that all civil and military officials can discuss it."

Yao Xian doesn't need to study in Guozijian anymore, he is named a scholar of the middle school, come to me, help me deal with paperwork while studying, and then take the palace exam the year after tomorrow.

As for Yao Xian's proposal in the notebook, I think it's very good. Let the teachers, the monks, as envoys, give them horses, give them carts, and let them go first when they meet them.

If they can use the Dharma to influence Yexian and ask him to send the Emperor back to Beijing, I will build them a bigger and more magnificent Buddhist temple. If not, then let me go back to my hometown in India and live with their Buddhas. ”

The ministers knew the emperor's temper, and this was the final conclusion, and they no longer quarreled at the moment, and reluctantly accepted the order.

Zhu Qiyu picked up another notebook, handed it to Shang Chen, and then said with a smile: "Isn't it unforgettable, come on, come on, this notebook, the waiter of the Hanlin Academy will talk about what Liu Dingzhi wrote, you read it once, and then recite it to everyone." ”

Shang Chen took the notebook, unfolded it, and couldn't wait to scold Liu Dingzhi's ancestors for the eighteenth generation, only to see that this notebook was written with more than 2,000 words. And there's no substance, it's all messy and moaning without disease, and I think of one play after another, there is no law at all, who can memorize this.

Zhu Qiyu didn't really want to memorize it, so he continued to laugh and said: "See, businessman, you said that the ministers write this thing to me every day, can I be the emperor."

You are responsible for approving his recital, in strict terms, and giving me a severe reprimand for him, and then punishing him to go home and pick up the child.

When he figured it out, when he gave me a plea, then I decided not to let him come back. ”

Shang Zhen had to make a bitter face and express his acceptance.

After dealing with these, the ministers played some more things, and Zhu Qiyu let everyone disperse.

……

The next three days were peaceful. Zhu Qiyu took advantage of the last free time to give Yu Qian a house near his house. and gave Xiao Lingxi to Yu Qian as a concubine, split Xiao Lingxi's four girls in half, two to Yu Qian's son Yu Mian, and two to Yu Qian's most important staff Cui Wenxiu.

Yu Qian was half-pushed and half-on the spot, and was tied to his chariot by Zhu Qiyu.

However, Yu Qian's reward was also quite rich: Zhu Qiyu withdrew his request to install his cronies in the position of the left and right attendants of the military department. also officially handed over the power of the governor Jingying to Yu Qian.

Even, except for the emperor's 10,000 personal guards and the 5,000 elite border troops of the Marquis of Xing'an, a total of 15,000 people were under the direct control of the emperor, and the rest of the army was all at the disposal of Yin Qian.

Three days passed peacefully until the afternoon of September 22, when Zhu Qiyu was leisurely drinking tea in the room, Lin Xiangyu suddenly walked in happily and replied with a smile:

"Your Majesty, your Marquis of Xing'an has finally returned to Beijing. The invitation to the slave family has just been sent over, Xing'an Hou has replied, people take a bath, change clothes, take a break, and come to see you later. ”
