Regarding Shi Heng taking charge of the main army, the ministers still had no opinion, and Zhu Qiyu had to continue:

"The capital was divided into four defense areas: east, south, west, and north, and assigned to important ministers.

In addition to the five military battalions, the Shenji battalion, and the 3,000 battalions, the Beijing army added a cavalry battalion. Xu Heng, Marquis of Xing'an, was promoted to the governor of the left capital of the military capital and was in charge of the Xiaocai battalion.

To the north, I personally supervised the army, the Marquis of Xing'an was the governor of military affairs, and the left capital was the military counselor of Wang Wen.

Governors Fan Guang and Tao Jin led the Shenji Battalion to defend Yuantu City and Andingmen, with Wang Cheng and Zhang Yong serving as the supervisors of the Shenji Battalion, and Yu Shiyue, the secretary of Dali Temple, supervising the military affairs of the Shenji Battalion. ”

The ministers were finally no longer silent, and Hu Hu took the lead in objecting: "How can Your Majesty come to the battle in person, if there are any more losses, I will be in danger." ”

However, because Chen Xun, Yu Qian, and Wang Wen were all on the side of the new monarch, and the Marquis of Xing'an, who was led by Xun Guizhong, also supported the emperor, and everyone else knew that today's court meeting was extraordinary and could not speak easily, so no one echoed Hu Hu.

Zhu Qiyu replied: "I only supervise the battle on the city tower, and I don't go out of the city." Beijing is the second strongest city in the world, and I only let you defend, but I didn't let you attack. If you still can't even hold the city wall, let the Wara attack it, then there is no need for our Ming Dynasty to exist, let's disperse. ”

Hu Hu didn't insist anymore when he heard this, and the emperor's meaning was very clear: If you are so wasted that you can't even defend the Beijing city wall, then get out of here.

The ministers also knew that this was standing outside the Qi Palace, the West Flower Hall, and it was the Qi Mansion guards who really dared to kill the minister. If someone continues to say frustrating words, the emperor really dares to kill.

Moreover, the given crime must be ill-intentioned, collusion with Warat, fear of the enemy before the war, and disturb the morale of the army. If such a crime is detained, it will be a vain death if he dies, and there is nowhere to redress his grievances. The emperor added oil and vinegar again, and the reputation was completely stinky.

Hu Hu saw that everyone else retreated, and he had mixed feelings in his heart: If this really allowed the emperor to make contributions in front of the battle, then this prestige would be great in the future. The defeat of the Emperor Taishang's civil engineering can be regarded as a complete wedding dress for the new monarch.

Wang Zhi was on the side, not saying anything, and this old Shangshu also figured it out: Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, did not object, Chen Xun, the head of the cabinet, did not object, and Wang Wen, the imperial history of the left capital, did not object, so what is the point of opposing himself and Hu Hu.

Wang Wen is almost grateful, the new monarch gave himself the opportunity to counsel military affairs, and after the success of this war, he will definitely be able to share a lot of credit. He is now ranked fourth in the cabinet, and it is obviously impossible for Hu Hu and Wang Zhi in front of him to become the first assistant of the Jingtai Dynasty, so Xinjun gave him the opportunity like this, obviously cultivating himself as the next first assistant. If you don't thank Dade anymore, is it still human?

In the next battle to defend Beijing, the two directions of Beicheng and Xicheng were the most important. After assigning the defense of the northern city, Zhu Qiyu continued to assign the western city:

"Xicheng, by the Imperial Horse Supervisor Seal Eunuch Liu Yongcheng Governor of Military Affairs, by the Cabinet First Assistant Chen Ge Old Counselor Military Affairs. Responsible for the defense of Xizhi Gate, Fucheng Gate, and Changyi Gate.

Sun Bo led 3,000 battalions to guard Xizhi Gate. Lang Jiangyuan, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, was in charge of the military affairs of the 3,000 battalions, and Shu Liang supervised the army.

Song Jie, Marquis of Xining, was promoted to the right governor of the former military capital and was stationed at Fuchengmen, and Gu Xingzu, Marquis of Zhenyuan, served as the deputy commander-in-chief to assist Song Jie.

Liu Jutong led the four guards of the imperial horse guard, guarded the Zhangyi Gate, and Wang Qin served as the supervisor of the army. ”

As for the east and south, Zhu Qiyu said more briefly: "In the east, Jiao Jing, the commander of the horses, is in charge of military affairs, Zhou Chen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is in charge of military affairs, and Chen Xiang is in charge of supervising the army.

To the south, the military affairs of the governor of Chengguo Gong and the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, Zhao Xin, the counselor of military affairs. Wang Jin, the imperial supervisor, Cheng Jing, and Ruan An and Ruan Xi were in charge of supervising the army. ”

Zhu Qiyu only confirmed the main person in charge of the four cities and nine gates, and handed over the rest of the details to Yu Qian to be fully responsible.

First of all, the most satisfied with the distribution of the emperor are the nobles. Originally, the change of the civil fort caused heavy losses to the nobles, and their voice in the court was greatly reduced.

Now the emperor has launched the Marquis of Xing'an, as the person who carries the beam among the nobles. This made Xungui very excited, after all, let Xungui find it by themselves, and they couldn't find a more suitable candidate. Coupled with Jiao Jing, the governor of Dongcheng, and Zhu Yi, the prince of Chengguo in Nancheng, the emperor, has already given enough trust to Xungui.

Secondly, the generals who are also satisfied are Shi Heng, Fan Guang, and Sun Bo, who are in charge of the three major battalions of the Beijing Army, which can be said to be highly valued and have a bright future. Other generals were also promoted and reused, and they had the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

For Zhu Qiyu, the most important thing is to satisfy the nobles and generals first. The civil officials will not lead troops into the imperial city, but the nobles and military generals.

So I can only let Yu Qian sacrifice some, I can't let you out of the limelight alone, and in the end, the other civil and military generals can't stand it, so they flip the table and go back directly to find the emperor, then the fun will be great.

As for the civil officials, the beneficiaries are Chen Xun, Wang Wen, Jiang Yuan and Yu Shiyue. Zhu Qiyu is focusing on supporting Chen Xun and Wang Wen, hoping to suppress Hu Hu and Wang Zhi as soon as possible.

Regarding the eunuchs, Zhu Qiyu's attitude is even clearer: Jin Ying and Xing'an, the two most powerful figures in the inner court, I don't move you, and I don't pay attention to you. You do yours, I'll do mine, and everyone doesn't bother each other.

As for how it ended, Zhu Qiyu had already thought about it: after Cao Jixiang, the only rebellious eunuch since the Song Dynasty, attacked the palace, Jin Ying, Xing'an and Cao Jixiang should cooperate with each other, intending to rebel and support the restoration of Emperor Taishang.

Jin Yingci died, Xing'an Lingchi, and all the cronies and eunuchs raided their homes. Concubine Wan Chen, the prince and princess born to her were unfortunately killed by the rebels. The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and Empress Qian were frightened and fell ill, and the eunuchs and palace maids around them were all killed by the rebels.

At that time, you can sweep the inner court and take control of the palace. So now for Jin Ying and Xing'an, Zhu Qiyu directly ignores them, do whatever you like, it's best to rebel directly, it will be more convenient.

After observing everyone's reactions, Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "The Marquis of Xing'an, the Marquis of Chengshan, and the Duke of Hao will stay, and the rest will disperse." ”

The ministers retired very happily, and the amount of information at today's court meeting was too large, and everyone was busy going back to exchange and discuss.

Seeing everyone withdraw, Zhu Qiyu regained his relaxed expression, and smiled at the few people in front of him: "Sit, sit, everyone sit." Come, Chengshanhou sit next to me, let's have some dinner in a while, and then go outside the city to inspect military affairs together. ”

When Wang Tong heard this, he quickly knelt down, kowtowed, and replied: "The guilty minister is ashamed, he has abandoned his land and lost his land, and he has humiliated the country." The title has long been abolished, and he does not dare to be called a mountain marquis. ”

Zhu Qiyu personally got up, helped Wang Tong up, and held his hand to soothe him: "Don't worry, Aiqing, after this battle, I will restore the marquis to Aiqing, and give hereditary replacement as compensation."

The abandonment of Jiaozhi was caused by Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu, the three traitorous ministers, who deceived the first emperor, and what does it have to do with Aiqing. Sanyang finally got away with it, but let Aiqing not only lose her title, but also be unjustly imprisoned for 12 years, and it was really unfair for the court to do things. ”
