Listening to Zhu Qiyu's bitter water, Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "The husband wants to transfer Yu Shangshu to be the governor of Nanzhili, it seems that he intends to implement the strategy of attacking the south and the north first?" ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded very affirmatively: "That's right, Yu Shangshu has governed Shanxi so well, I firmly believe that he can also govern Nanzhili in an orderly manner."

In addition to Yu Shangshu, I will also send a large number of important ministers of the imperial court to Nanjing, and the crown prince will also go to Nanjing in the future, and I will implement the real two-Beijing system for the Ming Dynasty. It will no longer be the same as before, and only use Nanjing as a place for ministers to retire.

After that, I also have to tour the south and personally supervise the civil and military generals in the south. ”

When Lin Xiangyu heard this, she turned her back and snickered.

Zhu Qiyu asked puzzledly: "The widow is wholeheartedly for the sake of Zhongxing Daming, is this funny?" ”

Lin Xiangyu teased with a smile: "The husband mainly wants to drive all the annoying ministers to Nanjing, so that he can't be out of sight and out of mind." ”

"Hey, I was seen through by the princess. These ministers could neither kill their heads nor beat their staffs; It's a good idea to lock up the prison, but it's been played badly by the Emperor.

So, for those who refuse to be loyal to me, I can only throw most of them to Nanjing, and the small part is too annoying, you know.

There is no way to be in this position, if you are too soft-hearted, the emperor will not be able to do it. ”

Lin Xiangyu nodded: "Outside affairs, husband take care of it slowly." Let's not talk about these troublesome things, the slave family will take you to the secret vault to see, there are a lot of interesting things in it, after Bao Zhun Fujun has seen it, his mood is much more comfortable. ”

"That's a good feeling, I heard that our family's secret vault is broad and profound, and today the widow is fortunate to be able to open his eyes."

……

After Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes, the nobles sent replies to the palace one after another.

Since Zhu Qiyu made a special statement in the invitation that if you have something to do or are sick, you can not come and do not force it, so a large number of nobles will directly report their illness.

First of all, the relatives of Empress Dowager Sun and Queen Qian's mother's family all complained of illness and did not come to any of them.

Secondly, Chengguo Gong also fell ill, because Chengguo Gong Zhu Yi was Hu Hui's son-in-law, and now the contradiction between Hu Hui and Xinjun has reached an irreconcilable level, so Zhu Yi finally chose to stand with most of the nobles and continue to be loyal to the emperor.

Again, the British public also complained of illness. Zhang Zhong relied on Zhu Qiyu to overcome public opinion to inherit the title, and he was very grateful to the new monarch in his heart, but because of his young qualifications and low prestige, he couldn't bear the pressure of his uncles Zhang Hui and Zhang Yuan, and chose to refuse the invitation.

Finally, there were Jiao Jing, the governor of the Beijing camp, Xue Huan, the commander of the right army, Guo Sheng, the marquis of Cheng'an, Guo Sheng, the commander of the left army, and Zhao Rong, the prince of Xincheng, Wu Jin, the marquis of Gongshun, all of whom reported illness.

Because Zhu Qiyu's prestige has risen sharply recently, and he has done a lot of propaganda that is unfavorable to the emperor, most of the nobles do not give face to the new monarch and do not come directly. One is to gamble with the new monarch and show his support for the emperor's position, and the other is to try where the new monarch's bottom line is.

What's more, Cheng Anhou Guo Sheng, Xincheng Bo Zhao Rong, and Gongshun Hou Wu Jin, the three emperors, reported illness to Xinjun on the front foot, and the back foot responded to Tianlou's invitation to participate in the fundraising dinner.

When Zhu Qiyu came out of the secret vault and returned to the room, he saw a large number of replies on the case. flipped through it casually, and Zhu Qiyu was happy:

"These nobles are really loyal, and they just can't let go of the Emperor Taishang. Thanks to the fact that Ningyang Hou Chen Mao, An Yuan Hou Liu Pu, and Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji are all in the south, if the three of them are in Beijing now, I am afraid that they will have to directly tie me up and escort me to Fengyang. ”

When Lin Xiangyu heard this, she asked, "Then why don't the slave family leave all the guards to the husband?" ”

"No need, you can bring more guards to make the scene of the sky tower a little more magnificent, so that people can donate more silver.

I don't need many guards here, and no matter how crazy the nobles are, they are not enough to assassinate the emperor in public. ”

Lin Xiangyu didn't say much when she heard this, so she took eight noble concubines and thousands of guards to pick up the Tianlou to arrange the dinner together.

The dinner party organized by Zhu Qiyu had no gimmicks and no performances, and it started earlier. Before it got dark, the nobles arrived at the Qi Palace's Mansion one after another.

Since there was no large palace dedicated to banquets in the Qi Palace, the venue was set up in the main hall of the main hall.

The main gate of the Qi Palace's mansion was wide open, and when the nobles walked to the main courtyard, they found that today was not the same as before. Standing at the door of the main hall to greet the guests, it was not the well-known Concubine Qi Wang, but a pair of twin little sisters who were only in their early tens, and their childishness had not yet faded.

Xu Yongning, Duke of Dingguo, Xu Heng, Marquis of Xing'an, Marquis Wang Tong of Chengshan, and Li Xuan all recognized that these were the other two princesses of the Qi Palace, and they did not dare to slack off, and after a few polite words, they were about to enter the main hall.

It just so happened that at this time, Xining Marquis Song Jie, Zhenyuan Marquis Gu Xingzu, Wuqing Bo Shiheng and others also arrived, Song Jie and others did not often come to the palace, and when they saw this scene, they only felt that the new monarch was becoming more and more ridiculous: the entire palace had no maids, no maids, no maids, and no eunuchs, so that's it. It was a bit too simple to let two young girls in their early teens come out to greet guests.

Especially in Shi Heng's understanding, on this occasion, even if the concubine does not come out, the princess should come out to receive it. Shi Heng has been busy with the military outside the city recently, and he has no time to understand what is happening in the capital, and he didn't expect that the little girl in front of him is the other two of the three princesses of Qi.

And because the credit for killing the Polo army was all taken away by the defenders of Beicheng, Shi Heng has also been very angry recently, and immediately ordered: "You two little girls, who bother to pour me a bowl of water to drink?" ”

When Qianxue heard this, she retorted apologetically: "I'm sorry Uncle Wu Qing, there is only one man in the world who can support our sisters."

Wu Qingbo, please enter the main hall, there are people serving tea inside, and if you are slow, please also invite Haihan. ”

Shi Heng is used to being arrogant in Shanxi, and he has never heard someone contradict him on weekdays, and he is about to have a seizure right away. In the end, it is Xing'anhou's kindness. Hurriedly pulled Shi Heng and dissuaded:

"Wu Qing Bomo was angry, in fact, what Concubine Yu Niangniang said just now is not very sincere: Your Majesty dotes on the two princesses in front of us very much, and has never been willing to let them serve tea.

Who doesn't know about the civil and military officials, even if they contradict His Majesty himself, it is not a big problem. But if anyone dares to be disrespectful to a few mothers, the emperor will really kill. ”

Shi Heng was a little stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Xu Heng and asked seriously, "Niangniang?" What do you mean? ”

Xu Xiang introduced: "Now there are three princesses in the Qi Palace, these two are the Jade Concubine Niangniang and the Xiangfei Niangniang. ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and just as he was about to apologize, Zhu Qiyu walked out of the room and smiled at Shi Heng:

"It's just two little women, Wu Qingbo doesn't have to worry about it. Besides, you Wenchen military generals from Shanxi have a style of acting like a mold carved out, and I have long been used to it. ”

Zhu Qiyu's words almost scared Shi Heng to sit on the ground, what is the Wenchen military general from Shanxi, his style of acting is like a mold carved out.

Shi Heng wiped the cold sweat on his head with his sleeve, the emperor's meaning was obvious, that is, he was as arrogant and contemptuous as Yang Hong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and as discerning and discerning as Yu Qian, the governor of Shanxi.

Shi Heng can't afford this, Yang Hong and Yu Qian are both big names in the heart of the emperor, and Shi Heng just wants to increase the official rank, seal his wife and son, and then glorify his ancestors and be powerful. So far, at least, Shi Heng has not had the slightest interest in singing against the emperor.

Zhu Qiyu saw that the beating was almost done, and glanced at Qianxue and Su Xi, so he changed into a pleasant expression, and said with a smile while pulling Shi Heng inside: "As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, Wu Qingbo really doesn't have to worry about it." Let's go, let's go in together, and I will tell you what I can do for you, and you will also talk about what I can do for the court and the Ming Dynasty. ”

Qianxue and Su Xi were behind, smiling and letting Xing'an Hou and the others inside, the atmosphere became relaxed again, and everyone came to the main hall to sit down and began to listen to Xinjun draw a big cake for everyone.
