161 The new monarch Xu Yuqian was crowned Marquis, and the prince of Xiang ascended the throne
Zhu Qizhen, the emperor of Taishang, is really a brother and a brother, Tian is not distressed, and one mouth is ten thousand taels of gold and a thousand horses of brocade.
However, given Yu Qian's suggestion of being a marquis and hereditary replacement, Zhu Qiyu was going to accept it. After all, Yu Qian has been patrolling Shanxi for 19 years, and he has indeed made outstanding achievements and worked hard. Especially in Shanxi's border military, quite a success, the Great Wall defense line in Shanxi is impregnable, and it is not too much to seal a marquis.
But this kind of thing to give civil officials a marquis needs to be discussed in the court, and the emperor's words are a bit excessive, after all, he has to take care of the feelings of other ministers.
So Zhu Qiyu instructed: "Xian'er will sort out these things, and I will circulate them to the ministers when the court meeting will be held later." Twilight reseals the top-secret military report and gives it to the princess, asking her to take it to the secret room, so that no one can touch it.
When you're done with this, serve me and get up, I've been idle for a few days, and it's almost over. Last night I watched the sky at night, and I knew that the ministers would trouble me again today. ”
Twilight Rain laughed out loud when she heard this.
Zhu Qiyu asked dissatisfiedly: "You girl, you dare to laugh at the master and tell me what you have to laugh at." ”
Twilight Yu replied with a smile: "The slave family is laughing at the husband and the gentleman is too much to add to the snake, where do you need to watch the sky at night, the slave family doesn't look at anything, just think about it below, you know that the ministers are going to find trouble with the husband, this is called quiet thinking, nothing to do." ”
"Hmph, dare to joke with the master, it's really uneducated, prepare the sheets, I'll let you think enough at night."
"Okay, thank you, master."
When the other three girls heard this, they also came up and asked for the same treatment.
Zhu Qiyu talked for a long time, and finally reluctantly agreed to be wet with rain and dew, and was released.
If there is a tiger in the back, there will be a wolf in the front.
Waiting for Zhu Qiyu to easily enter the West Flower Hall, sit down on the soft couch, announce the summons on the front foot, and a group of ministers on the back foot rushed in, crowding the West Flower Hall.
Soon, the facts proved that Zhu Qiyu was afraid of wolves and tigers in the past, and Chen Xun personally handed over a letter of recital.
Zhu Qiyu has never had the habit of reading a notebook, but he just took it and put it on the coffee table, and let Chen Xun explain it by himself.
Chen Xun replied: "Your Majesty, this is King Xiang's recital. King Xiang had not received the news of His Majesty's accession to the throne at the time of the letter, so he proposed in the transcript that the crown prince should be supported to succeed to the throne, and His Majesty should lead the country to lead the government, and lead the ministers to resist Warat and defend the Jingshi. ”
Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly in his heart, what does it mean that King Xiang didn't receive the news of my accession to the throne before he wrote the book, how long has it been, I think he did it on purpose.
Seeing that the emperor was silent, Chen Xun asked softly, "Your Majesty, how do you think we should reply to King Xiang?" ”
In fact, before Chen Xun came, he had already prepared a few suggestions in his heart for the emperor's inquiry. After all, one of the main responsibilities of the cabinet was to give advice to the emperor when consulting on military and political affairs.
But Zhu Qiyu didn't ask anything, so he issued an edict: "The cabinet drafted the decree, and the proposal of King Xiang was adopted." However, certain changes have to be made: after the defeat of Warat, the widow abdicated and the crown prince ascended the throne, which is no problem.
But the widow has no talent, no virtue, and is really not capable of supervising the country. Before serving as a prisoner, it was only because there were no other vassal kings in Beijing.
King Xiang has supervised the country many times, the old man is serious, and his reputation is far and wide, and the theory should also be supervised by King Xiang.
Therefore, after receiving the will, the king of Xiang was ordered to enter Beijing immediately and hand over the affairs of the prison state. It is the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, and it is also presided over by King Xiang.
At that time, the widow was also liberated, and immediately returned to Qi to become a vassal; You will be liberated, you don't have to work with my ridiculous prince anymore, let King Xiang lead you to assist the new monarch well. ”
When the ministers heard this, they hurriedly knelt down to dissuade them. Even if the ministers don't want Zhu Qiyu to be the emperor anymore, the rules on the scene still have to be explained, and they can't all stand there and listen to the emperor's abdication edict.
Besides, the ministers actually didn't want the crown prince Zhu Jianshen to take the throne so much, Zhu Qiyu laughed secretly in his heart, and knew this: the most powerful evidence is that when Jingtai changed the prince in history, no minister stood up against it at all.
Yes, it's so strange, clean, not a single minister who is against it.
This seems to be the political ecology from the Xuande Dynasty to the Tianshun Dynasty, which has been in the same vein for decades.
Xuanzong abolished Queen Hu, spoiled concubines and killed wives, and none of the ministers came out to oppose it.
Jingtai changed the crown prince and transferred the imperial lineage, but none of the ministers came out to oppose it.
Yingzong seized the prisoner and reinstated the throne in a coup d'état, and no minister came out to oppose it.
If Zhengde and Jiajing are replaced to be emperors in this era, it is estimated that they will wake up laughing in their dreams.
In March of the 14th year of Zhengde, the minister stopped Zhu Houzhao from touring the south, and as a result, a total of 146 ministers were caned, and 11 of them were directly caned.
Jiajing was even more excessive, and during the Great Rite Discussion, 134 officials were sentenced to death with canes at the same time, and 16 were killed with canes on the spot.
Compared with the ministers at that time, the current civil and military officials are simply a group of good babies.
Thinking about it, Zhu Qiyu began to be grateful to God, and it was so fortunate to be in the prosperous world!
From this point of view, Sanyang has been in charge of the government for so many years, and it still has a positive effect.
So Zhu Qiyu was in a better mood, and asked the ministers who were kneeling on the ground to get up with a pleasant face.
But before the ministers could stand firm, Zhu Qiyu ordered: "Elder Chen Ge has prepared my edict just now, and ordered a minister to go to Xiangwang's Mansion to deliver the edict."
Just the right deputy capital Yushi Yang Shan, let him pass the decree, it is also solemn, and at the same time, you can also tell King Xiang about the situation in the capital.
The widow invited King Xiang to go to Beijing to supervise the country, completely out of sincerity, please King Xiang do not worry, and set off immediately on the day of the purpose. ”
Zhu Qiyu is not distressed about Yang Shan, the emperor's ironcore, when he uses it. Previously, Xiang Wenyao occupied the position of the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Yang Shan was transferred to the right deputy capital of Yushi. Now that the butt is not hot, he was sent to Changsha again.
The ministers were not willing to obey the edict and spoke out to dissuade them. After all, a new monarch has just been established, and the new emperor has not even recognized all the ministers, so he has to change again, and the ministers can't stand this toss.
Besides, although the new monarch is acting absurdly, he really wants to triple the salary of the ministers. Considering the problem of the new officials ignoring the old accounts, and then changing the emperor, who should we ask for a salary increase?
So now to change the emperor, absolutely not. Even Hu Hu didn't dare to stand up and give the edict.
Zhu Qiyu still said very firmly: "The edict just now must be issued." You just have to write the edict, as for how King Xiang understands it after receiving the edict, it is his own business. ”
Oh, I see. The hint of the new monarch was so obvious that the ministers had the bottom in their hearts.
As for how the new monarch would fight with the vassal kings, the ministers didn't care so much.
The vassal king, in general, belongs to the opposite of the ministers, even if a few die, the ministers will not feel distressed.
Seeing that King Xiang's matter was over, Zhu Qiyu took out Qian's work report and the emperor's comments and circulated them to the ministers present.
