After some time for the two sides to negotiate the details of some specific matters, they completely relaxed.

After the worries, the family had a happy lunch. Zhu Qiyu made an exception and accompanied his young father-in-law to have a good drink.

It wasn't until it was getting late that the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, broke up the banquet, and went home.

Zhu Qiyu was so drunk that his legs trembled when he walked, but he still insisted on sending the eldest princess and his party out of the door, and sent three hundred guards all the way to send the eldest princess all the way to the gate of the Marquis of Wuding before coming back.

The concubine instructed a few words, asked the princesses to take good care of their sons, and then went back to Beifu to rest.

Zhu Qiyu was still standing in the main courtyard, blowing the cold wind to sober up, while pulling Lin Xiangyu and said with a smile: "Today you have the status of the daughter of a noble here, and I got the political exchange from the Emperor Taishang who acquiesced to me cleaning up the court."

It's really rewarding, and it's time to move on to the next step. ”

Lin Xiangyu smiled and asked, "What's next?" Please also ask your husband to make it clear. ”

"The next step is to pave the way for the Jingtai ceremony, you go and send an invitation now, and invite three uncles and two aunts to come to the house tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow, I invited the two brothers of Queen Hu to come to the house for dinner.

I first appeased my uncles, promised them titles, and installed them all in the Jinyi Guard, and then met with the two brothers of Empress Hu.

To correct Queen Hu's name, you must start by treating her two brothers well. ”

"Understood, the husband will go back to the room first, and the slave family will arrange for someone to send the invitation."

So the two were just about to leave the main courtyard and act separately, but Liu Chang ran in in a hurry, and didn't stop until they came to the front of the two.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "An Guo, calm down, you are also about to become an earl, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Liu Chang had to stand still in place, trying to breathe evenly, before replying: "Your Majesty, great victory, we killed more than 3,000 people in one battle. ”

"Oh, got it, it's nothing, it's normal."

Zhu Qiyu was very calm, and killed another 3,000 people, and there were still 17,000 shorts. Anyway, all his pursuit is to kill a total of 40,000 people before and after, and then win back the silver that his princess bet on the Sun family casino.

Liu Chang retorted with a puzzled face: "No, no, no, this is not normal, the last general really doesn't understand, why do those Warat cavalry still charge fearlessly when they know that our big array has multiple defenses and is unbreakable, are they really eager to avenge their comrades who have been built into Jingguan?" ”

For the first person he promoted from the bottom soldiers, Zhu Qiyu had twelve points of patience and explained in detail:

"Remember, military is an extension of politics. To fight a war, the first thing to fight is the temple calculation. The temple is defeated, and Ande wins the battlefield?

Take today's battle as an example, I first want these people to die, because they are not the descendants of Yexian.

They died, just to give an explanation to the Warat soldiers who were eager to take revenge on the Ming army: Anyway, everyone fought and fought, and they fought hard, not that the Taishi didn't want to fight, but they really couldn't fight, so that the Wara soldiers couldn't blame the first.

And the generals who directly led these dead Warat soldiers were equally willing to see such an outcome. ”

Liu Chang didn't understand it even more: "Why are these generals willing to watch their direct soldiers die?" ”

"Because these people are all elite soldiers who were also selected from the hands of the Arak Zhiyuan first. Among them, the leading general is still loyal to the Arazhiin, and some of his soldiers have already fallen to Yexian.

Therefore, these generals also hope to consume these soldiers at both ends of the first rat, and the death of these soldiers in vain can also inspire the dissatisfaction of those soldiers who are still loyal to Ara, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

This is politics, you only focus on the battlefield fighting, but the leadership in power is playing with each other, using the low-level soldiers as pawns, and each of them is exchanging and reorganizing interests. ”

When Liu Chang heard this, he was so frightened that cold sweat came out. No wonder today a team of 10,000 people will inexplicably rush to the Ming army's impregnable array, it turns out that there is such an inside story, this 10,000 soldiers were actually hardened up and forced to be cannon fodder.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and patted Liu Chang's shoulder: "Anguo, don't be afraid." You are my man, and I will shelter you from the wind and rain. At no time will I sacrifice my own guards. ”

When Liu Chang heard this, he nodded vigorously, Xinjun's words are still very credible.

After appeasing Liu Chang, Zhu Qiyu finally went back to the room and slept peacefully.

Less than an hour later, news of another victory for the Ming army spread throughout the capital.

Zhu Qiyu slept soundly, but the entire capital completely lost its peace.

The first to get the news were the well-informed nobles. Hearing that the Ming army had won again, even Guo Chang was afraid, and couldn't help but praise the eldest princess: "It's still grandmother who has foresight, fortunately, we went in a hurry today, according to the current combat efficiency of the Ming army, if it is a few days late, it will be repulsed first, and the emperor may not be rare to deal with us." ”

The eldest princess also shook her head helplessly: "You can't be blamed for this, the combat ability shown by the Ming army in the capital is too different from the Shanxi battlefield, and it is understandable that your thinking cannot be changed."

We're okay, most of the nobles must be at home patting their heads and confessing now. The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, most of the nobles did not seize the opportunity, once the new monarch completely won the victory in the defense of Beijing, he would kick these old nobles away.

Grandson, you have to keep in mind that all the nobles of the Ming Dynasty must be attached to the imperial power in order to survive, which is the fundamental way of the nobles.

Once any of the nobles are rejected by the emperor, then they are completely finished. For example, we angered Taizong during the Jing Disaster, and we have been tossing for nearly 50 years, and we have only turned over now, which is already very lucky. Like the founding six dukes, Li Shanchang, Chang Yuchun, Feng Sheng, and Deng Yu disappeared directly.

Li Wenzhong's family is still crazy because of the lack of manpower in the current new monarch, so he drilled a hole in the mountain to find out the descendants of the Li family, otherwise his family would have disappeared. ”

Guo Chang smiled: "Anyway, thank God, our family finally survived." My grandson drank too much, and I had to go to rest. ”

The eldest princess smiled, and ordered Guo Chang and his wife to go back to the room.

A few families are happy and a few are sad, and several nobles such as the Duke of England, the Duke of Chengguo, the Marquis of Gongshun, the Marquis of Cheng'an, and the Uncle of the Afraid of the City are so depressed. Now the emperor has completely grasped the initiative on the battlefield, and by transferring Wang Zhi, Yu Qian and other important ministers, the prestige brought by military victories is almost exclusively won by the emperor.

The most important thing is that the emperor also came to call the door today, and now the prestige of the new monarch and the emperor has completely come and gone, which makes the nobles even less confident.

At the same time, all the heavyweight nobles who pro-emperor have been transferred out of the capital, and the remaining Fengcheng Marquis Li Xian can't afford to take the lead at all. The British Mansion, which is still relatively complete, although it is generally biased towards the Emperor, but the British Duke Zhang Zhong himself was personally supported by Zhu Qiyu, and he shrank behind, very reluctant to come out against the new monarch.

So these nobles were blocked in the middle, and they couldn't get close to each other.

However, it was said that Empress Dowager Sun had just taken Empress Qian and Concubine Wan Chen to dinner, and Jin Ying, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, walked in in a hurry.

Empress Dowager Sun frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Jin Ying replied: "Empress Dowager Qi, this is a letter from the Emperor Taishang from outside the city. ”

When Empress Dowager Sun heard this, she hurriedly took it and took a closer look.
