In the end of the quarrel, someone has to take the blame.

Chen Yi, Yang Shan, Li Shi, and Li Xian, who were often sent to the Warat camp as envoys, finally became the unyielding choice, and were elected by a group of ministers and went to Cining Palace.

Before the Empress Dowager Sun had dinner, Chen Yi and others made an urgent report and came to the Empress Dowager Sun.

Empress Dowager Sun was a little strange at first, such a group of little shrimps, came to find out what she was doing. A bad premonition rose in his heart, so he hurriedly asked, "A few Aiqing, is there something wrong with the Emperor Taishang?" ”

Chen Yi, the right-ranking right capital of the four, had no choice but to stand up and repeat the matter to the Empress Dowager Sun as it was.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Sun was so angry that she almost smashed something, and she made chickens and dogs jump and complain in the harem, and it was easy to scrape together 600,000 taels of silver, and in a blink of an eye, she was floating in the water.

Forget about the silver alone, the key is that it will be deep winter in a blink of an eye, if the emperor can't come back, he will be punished by the cold and the cold.

What's more, at the speed at which the new emperor is now seizing power, if the emperor stays outside for a year or two, his confidants and ministers will have to be replaced when he returns.

Empress Dowager Sun glanced at Jin Ying, the big eunuch next to her, and sighed deeply: You don't have to wait for a year or two, now the Emperor Taishang and the henchmen of the former emperor have been cleaned up, Hu Hui, Wang Zhi, and Yu Qianquan left by the first emperor were all sent out of the capital, and Shang Zhen and Peng Shi, who were secretly promoted, were also sent away.

The people promoted by the Emperor himself were all fighting outside. Well, now that I can see in front of my eyes, all of them are characters like Chen Yi, Yang Shan, Li Shi, and Li Xian, who basically had no sense of existence before the war.

But what puzzled Empress Dowager Sun the most was why the new emperor had no interest in the Forbidden City, and it had been more than two months since he ascended the throne, and he had given a total of five personal eunuchs some inconspicuous errands. After that, he never intervened in any court affairs.

This is really weird, the dignified Emperor Ming, there is not even a eunuch under his hand, and the new monarch doesn't care at all, he plays with women at home all day long.

Empress Dowager Sun wanted to ask Chen Yi and the others in front of her, but after thinking about it, these people were sent to Warat all day to eat deflated, and they didn't invite the emperor to see them at first glance, and they couldn't ask anything, so they didn't bother to speak.

At this time, Chen Yi saw that the Empress Dowager Sun had not spoken for a long time, so he had to urge: "Do you want to agree to the request first, and ask the Empress Dowager to show me." ”

In fact, from the heart of Empress Dowager Sun, she didn't just want a woman first, just give it to him. But Empress Dowager Sun also knew that it was politically incorrect to say this.

Because of her experience in auxiliary politics, Empress Dowager Sun is also a relatively experienced politician, and when Zhu Qizhen was in a completely passive situation, she still chose to forbear and retreat and wait for the opportunity.

So the four ministers heard the queen mother trying her best to restrain her disappointment, and replied faintly: "If you tell the emperor, just say that it is the meaning of the palace, and refuse it first."

As for whether to fight or make peace first, let him go. There is only one requirement of the main palace, that is, when the two armies are fighting, our army must try to avoid hurting the emperor. ”

"Queen Mother Shengming."

When the four ministers heard this, they were relieved, and they quickly patted their ass, and hurriedly retired.

Before dinner, Zhu Qiyu had already gotten the news, and not surprisingly, Empress Dowager Sun carried another pot.

Zhu Qiyu understood Empress Dowager Sun's strategy in his heart, wanted to accumulate strength, wait for the opportunity, and once he was negligent, he would give himself a fatal blow and turn things around in an instant.

This idea is very good, but unfortunately the ideal is very full, but the reality will be twelve points cruel.

Although the peace talks have been made exceptionally, the fundraising auction on the last night of the Jietian Tower will continue.

Zhu Qiyu presided over the reception of all his cronies in the mansion, and after the last night of mobilization, the war will resume tomorrow.

Tonight's banquet is mainly for the purpose of reviewing and reviewing his cronies. Now the emperor's cronies have evolved from three or two big cats and kittens before ascending the throne to a small military and political group with a small size.

It includes a number of nobles: Xu Yongning, Duke of Dingguo, Li Xuan, Duke of Cao, Xu Heng, Marquis of Xing'an, and Marquis Wang Tong of Chengshan. The dukes all have them, but they haven't been able to win over the earl.

Among the generals, outside the guards is Fan Guang; Among the guards, Xu Tong, Gu Zhong, and Liu Chang.

Among the Wenchen, the important ministers of the fourth grade and above: Chen Xun, Wang Wen, Jiang Yuan, and Xu Hui. Young talents below the fourth grade: Huang Pu, He Yi, Lian Gang.

There are still some who did not come: Luo Tong, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, He Wenyuan, the new cabinet minister, Xu Zheng and Huang Jian, the new Chinese scholars; and the seven second- and third-grade high-level generals of the Daning Dusi, most of these are not in the capital at the moment.

As for Hao Yi, the commander of the Imperial Horse Prison, he deliberately did not come. Zhu Qiyu didn't want to be too close to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, so he exposed his layout in the Imperial Horse Supervisor in advance.

Zhu Qiyu thought so: Empress Dowager Sun forbears, then I will forbear; When the Empress Dowager Sun and the Emperor Taishang faction broke out, I gave them a big surprise with the four guards of the Imperial Horse Prison.

In Zhu Qiyu's heart, his three personal guards ranked first, and then the four guards of the Imperial Horse Prison led by Hao Yi and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion led by Xu Heng tied for second.

As for the penultimate one, it is naturally Jinyiwei. These men received the best of the best, but they did not work. You say that they are loyal to the Emperor, it seems that they have not done anything for the Emperor; You say that they are loyal to the new king, but you can't see any of their wishes and actions of allegiance to the new king.

In this way, in the evening, the banquet went very smoothly, and Zhu Qiyu came up to face the fifteen cronies who came to the banquet and gave a chicken blood.

As the emperor, Zhu Qiyu doesn't have any bells and whistles, and he just goes back and forth with this trick: sealing the official and making a wish.

What nonsense such as serving the country and saving the people, Zhu Qiyu never said. It is directly to tell everyone, what do I need you to do for me, and after the matter is completed, what official title will I give you.

What he said clearly and clearly, his cronies heard it clearly, fair trading, and no deception.

So the more you drink this wine, the happier you become, the ministers have been cold for ten years, and the generals have been on the battlefield in blood, isn't it just to sell the emperor's family.

Both sides got what they wanted, and it was easy to drink until the banquet ended, and tonight was really a joy for the guests and hosts. Zhu Qiyu was afraid that something would go wrong on the road, so he sent a large number of guards out of the ordinary, and sent each of his henchmen to the door of the house, watching everyone enter the house before the guards came back.

This is also the only time that Zhu Qiyu has drunk too much in three months.

When Zhu Qiyu returned to the room drunk, he saw that Lin Xiangyu had also returned, as if he was relieved to tilt on the bedside and look through the account book, so Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile:

"Princess Niangniang, how much did our family's broken copper and iron sell?"
