115 The new monarch set up the governor of Zhili, and He Yi offered a succession strategy

Yu Qian thought about it, and thought of Emperor Xuanzong, who had the grace of knowing him. It is said that where there is a father, there must be a son, but now it is completely reversed.

Emperor Xuanzong hated war from the bottom of his heart, and he had no interest in expanding his territory.

However, Xuanzong's eldest son, the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen, is completely opposite, since the beginning of the pro-government, he has been trying to overcome public opinion and continue to use troops against the southwest. After a series of victories, the orthodox emperor swelled to the point of forgetfulness, and finally lost all the troops left behind in the capital in the first battle.

It was easy to replace Xuanzong's second son, but it turned out to be a war-loving one again. It's also evil, a pair of brothers are completely opposite to their own father.

Yu Qian was looking down and thinking, but Zhu Qiyu suddenly smiled as if he could see through Yu Qian's thoughts: "Yu Shangshu, I know that you were deliberately promoted by the first emperor, and I also know that your ministers in the Xuande Dynasty, starting from Sanyang and counting to the end, none of them like to fight, and they are really evil."

However, I respect your thoughts, after the end of this war, the North Zhili needs to recuperate, and the South Zhili has also suffered a lot in order to support Beijing.

Therefore, I decided to elect two important ministers to serve as the governor of the north and the governor of the south for a term of five years, to appease the people and restore the people's livelihood for me. Yu Shangshu is a capable minister who governs the country, so I bother you to be the governor of Nanzhili, and go to manage Nanzhili for me. ”

When everyone heard this, they all raised their heads in surprise: Governor Zhili, this is a newly established official position, and he is a real feudal official, with heavy responsibilities and great powers. Let Yu Qian be the governor of Nanzhili, which is decent enough.

However, the governor of Zhili has been in office for five years, and Yu Qianke will be far away from the center again during this time.

Thinking of this, the ministers all nodded in agreement.

Yu Qian's grasp of the emperor's mind is more profound than that of other ministers. As soon as the emperor's words came out, Yu Qian knew that the emperor wanted Luo Tong, who belonged to the hard-line main battle faction, to take charge of the military department.

Yu Qian guessed correctly, Zhu Qiyu thought like this: after the war, Xu Heng, the Marquis of Xing'an, was appointed as the governor of Beizhili, and Luo Tong, who was tough in the main battle, was promoted to the left squire of the military department and was in charge of the affairs of the department. Then carry out an all-out attack on Warat, and completely destroy it within three years.

This is arranged in this way because Zhu Qiyu knows history, and Yu Qian, like Xuanzong, is an extremely staunch pacifist. After the Battle of Beijing, Yu Qian spent five years in the military department, and never showed any desire to avenge the fallen soldiers of Tumubao.

In the end, he also died by himself, causing Meng Yuan's internal fighting, and was cut off by his subordinate Arazhiyuan.

Just when everyone was stunned, Zhu Qiyu took out the second copy and said to everyone in the cabinet: "I flipped through the book before the Emperor Taishang's expedition, and saw that Li Cong, the inspector of Sichuan, said that the people's livelihood in Sichuan is withering, and the Ministry of Industry in the north and south of Beijing continues to send to buy and purchase materials, which makes the people miserable.

Li Cong hoped that the imperial court would suspend these comprador apportionments in Sichuan and send ministers to inspect Sichuan.

How did the Emperor Taishang approve it at that time? ”

Chen Xun replied when he heard this: "The original words of the Emperor's reply are: The people are poor, and the governor of the reinstatement official may not be disturbing, and it is already done.

In other words, the Emperor Taishang rejected both of Li Cong's suggestions. ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he couldn't help but nod again and again, Chen Xun was over sixty, and he still remembered everything so clearly.

The last time he chatted, after He Yi reminded him, Zhu Qiyu noticed that Chen Xun was actually the second person in the Ming Dynasty to connect with the three yuan, and he was even stronger than Shang Yuan.

It's just that Chen Xun was too unlucky, obviously he had been set to be the first place in the examination, but because he and the chief examiner were both Jiangxi Taiheren, in order to avoid suspicion, he was withdrawn to the second place.

If it weren't for this unfortunate thing, Chen Xun would have achieved the achievement of Lianzhong Sanyuan at the age of 30 and became the second person in the Ming Imperial Examination, second only to Huang Guan at the age of 27.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu stared at Chen Xun and smiled, and said in his heart: There is also Zhang Juzheng in the back, who is more unlucky than you in the imperial examination. When you meet the examiner, he is a fellow countryman, and he is directly in a brain-dead.

Chen Xunke didn't know what the emperor was laughing at, so he had to ask, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with Li Cong's recital?" ”

"Oh, there's a problem. Ling re-approved and agreed to Li Cong's request. Didn't the first emperor always say that he wanted to recuperate, then let's listen to the first emperor and don't always treat the people harshly.

The apportionment of Sichuan will be suspended for three years. And I also know that in the past, in order to repair palaces and imperial tombs, you always went to Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Huguang to cut down big trees in the deep mountains and old forests, and then transported them to Liangjing thousands of miles away. It is a waste of labor and money, and the people are miserable.

From now on, all the timber harvesting apportionments will be stopped for me. ”

When Hu Hu heard this, he immediately jumped out: "Your Majesty, then your imperial tomb always has to be repaired, right?" ”

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "What kind of imperial mausoleum to repair, how to arrange it after my death, you don't need to worry about the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry, and you don't need the court to manage it, I will have my own ideas at that time."

After the death of a person, it is like that, in order to repair a broken imperial mausoleum, spend four or five million taels of white flowers and silver, and make the people's families ruined, why bother. ”

Without waiting for everyone to reply, Zhu Qiyu instructed Wang Wen: "You all have an imperial history called Han Yong, right, orthodox seven-year jinshi, let him be promoted to the right capital of the imperial history, go to the governor of Sichuan." ”

"Yes, Wechen obeys."

Wang Wen took the order without even thinking about it.

The ministers didn't think it was different, last time the emperor asked for the list of the last three Jinshi, and went through them one by one, picking out the young talents among them for reuse, so it was normal for the emperor to promote Han Yong.

Han Yong is even more excessive than He Yi, he was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of twenty, and it is very normal for the emperor to pay attention to him.

After saying this, Zhu Qiyu signaled everyone to disperse.

Xing'an stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, Dongchang has found out that recently, in the capital, many Mongolian dignitaries who have been attached to the capital have been moving around, secretly communicating with Warat, and finding out news for the enemy. Dare to ask Your Majesty, how to deal with it? ”

Zhu Qiyu was stopped by this question, it is definitely not appropriate to kill him directly, and he will be arrested in prison? I'm afraid there won't be so many people in the prison. So he had to look at Yu Qian: "Yu Aiqing, what do you say, what should I do with these people?" ”

Yu Qian replied: "Once conclusive evidence of collaborating with the enemy is found, the official will be dismissed and the house will be raided." Concentrate the high-ranking officials and Dajun who collaborated with the enemy, and after the arrival of the Yexian army, directly send them to the Yexian camp, and let them be dealt with first. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, it's a good way, they like Warat so much, then let them be the first soldiers, and then when they fight, they will cut off their heads and use them to build a Beijing Temple.

Yu Qian added: "We can also find a group of dignitaries who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, pretend to defect to the enemy, and send them to the Yexian camp together with the dignitaries who really collaborate with the enemy, and be our internal response." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded again, it was also a good way, and then he instructed Xing'an: "Just do what Yu Shangshu said, if you have any problems in this regard, you can go to Yu Shangshu to discuss, you don't have to reply to me." ”

After speaking, Zhu Qiyu added: "You must pay attention, you must not wronged people, if those high-ranking officials do not collaborate with the enemy, let them stay at home honestly."

And it is absolutely impossible to open a killing ring, if you kill people indiscriminately, will the Mongols dare to return with confidence in the future. For the dignitaries who are really excessive, directly let the Shuntianfu arrest and lock them up, and then slowly deal with them after the war. ”

Xing'an received the order, and everyone retreated. Zhu Qiyu pulled He Yi and returned to Qianyunxuan, while eating, he talked about his plan to force his relatives and eunuchs to rebel together, and then take advantage of the situation to overthrow Empress Dowager Sun and restore Empress Hu.

After listening to the emperor's plan, He Yi replied hesitantly: "Actually, Weichen has an extremely bold idea, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”

"Let's talk about it, here are the two of us, what can't be talked about."

When He Yi heard this, he replied softly: "If you restore Empress Hu to the throne, then deny Empress Dowager Sun's status as the successor empress back then, and change her identity from Empress Sun back to Concubine Sun at that time."

Then His Majesty will succeed himself to the name of Empress Hu, then His Majesty will become a concubine, and Emperor Taishang will become a concubine.

Now the crown prince has become the concubine of the concubine, so it makes complete sense from the legal point of view to abolish the prince and establish the son of His Majesty. ”
