After reading the letter, Empress Dowager Sun frowned tightly, never dreaming that her son would write such a letter.

Zhu Qizhen was afraid that this letter would be checked by Xinjun's people, so he wrote it very vaguely. But the mother and son are connected, and the Empress Dowager Sun still understands it at once.

Zhu Qizhen put forward three requirements in the letter, first, the people of his own faction were completely stung and waited for the opportunity. Whatever the new monarch wants to do, let him do it, don't raise any objections, let alone do any obstruction.

This is called taking what is going to be taken, and what is to be given first. If the new monarch is willing to do nothing and only play with women at home, no one can do anything about the new monarch.

But as long as the new monarch wants to make a difference and carry out reforms with a certain depth, it will inevitably reveal flaws, and then he can find the right time to defeat it in one fell swoop.

The second requirement is to place Xing'an and others next to the new monarch as undercover agents, and it is best to be able to buy some people who serve the emperor closely.

The third request was even more unexpected, Zhu Qizhen suggested that the harem be given up to the concubines of the new monarch to live. It is best to let out both the Qianqing Palace and the Kunning Palace. Especially Empress Qian and Concubine Wan Chen, it is best to take the second prince and the third prince to move to a palace close to Cining Palace to live.

Queen Qian will leave things alone for the time being, and retreat for the time being. With Queen Qian's ability, if she bites the position of the lord of the harem again, it will be useless, and she will only bring humiliation on herself.

After reading it, Empress Dowager Sun handed the letter to Empress Qian and motioned to those present to circulate it one by one.

So Queen Qian, Concubine Wan Chen, Jin Ying, and Xing'an all read the letter carefully.

Xing'an had already gone to the Warat camp to meet the Emperor Taishang before, so Xing'an understood the deep meaning of this letter the fastest.

After thinking for a while, Jin Ying basically understood the emperor's intentions.

Only Queen Qian and Concubine Wan Chen were still reluctant. Especially Queen Qian, who was originally the master of the harem, now let her out and stand aside completely, it would be strange if she could figure it out.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Sun hated iron in her heart, and asked with a wry smile: "Empress, the Emperor Taishang wants you to back down in order to protect you." Otherwise, tell me, a Queen of Zhou and a Princess of Qi, even if the two of them don't hold together, if they take out only one, who can they fight? ”

When Queen Qian heard this, she had nothing to say.

Seeing that Empress Qian still had self-knowledge, Empress Sun said to Xing'an: "Xing'an, you go to the Qi Palace's mansion to do this errand." Let's just say that it is my intention and that the Emperor Taishang will vacate the Qianqing Palace and the Kunning Palace, and let the emperor live in it with his concubines.

Otherwise, the emperor and the concubine always live in the palace, and it is not a problem. Let the envoys of the foreign feudal clan see it, wouldn't our Ming royal family be a joke in the eyes of the vassal state.

Even in order to maintain the image of the family and country, the emperor's family had to move in. You tell the emperor that if you don't move, I will go and invite you in person. ”

Xing'an said in embarrassment: "Queen Mother, the emperor doesn't trust us, even if we go and say it, I'm afraid it will be useless." Besides, the emperor is not stupid, once their family enters the palace, won't they just let us fiddle with it.

If you look at what the emperor has been doing in the past three months, does he look like he will be manipulated by others? ”

If it weren't for the fact that Xing'an had followed the emperor from the beginning and was really loyal, Xing'an himself would have wanted to really take refuge in the new monarch.

Empress Dowager Sun complained: "You can't think of a way, aren't you the best at pleasing your master on weekdays, now you and Jin Ying are already the top two eunuchs in the palace, why can't you even do this little thing one by one?" ”

Xing'an smiled bitterly: "Don't mention it, what is the first and second, the Queen Mother, our celebrant has been completely hollowed out now." It seems that one of us is the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, and the other is the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the governor of Dongchang.

But now the transcript is first drafted by the cabinet, then proofread by the emperor's middle scholars, and finally approved by the celebrant and supervisor.

There is a layer of scholars in the middle, so we can only obediently criticize the manuscript sent to us, and we can neither ask nor give opinions. We have become mere tools for making circles, without the slightest personal will.

In addition, there are also the celebrant and the commander Cheng Jing and the bookkeeper Wang Cheng are staring at it all the time, waiting to take our mistakes.

So now that we are doing well, it is better to use the scenery of the royal supervisor's palm print. ”

When Empress Dowager Sun heard this, she replied disapprovingly: "Then you are still the commander of the East Factory, and the East Factory has also been hollowed out?" ”

"Not to mention Dongchang, the Queen Mother, you also know that all eunuchs in the inner court have to be dependent on the emperor in order to survive. Now the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty know that we are rejected by the new monarch, so who else will take Dongchang seriously.

is Jinyiwei, since he was taken over by Uncle Guo, he has also ignored Dongchang. ”

After that, Xing'an sighed vigorously, as a subordinate, what he is most afraid of is not the leader's beating and scolding, but the leader's complete ignorance.

Xing'an and Jin Ying are facing such a situation: Zhu Qiyu completely ignores the two, has no expectations, does not have any instructions, and does not even have the idea of summoning, does not want to see them, and does not want to say even a word.

So Xing'an added to Empress Dowager Sun: "Unless you come up with something that can impress the new monarch, it is impossible to gain the trust of the new monarch." ”

The more Empress Dowager Sun listened, the more angry she became: "What is there now that the emperor can't get, and what else can I impress him." Forget it, you guys will go to the palace tomorrow to explore the wind, and then I will think about what can be used to impress Zhu Qiyu. ”

Empress Dowager Sun reluctantly waved everyone away, and went back to the room alone to sulk.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the morning of the next day, Zhu Qiyu first met with his three uncles and two aunts.

It didn't take long for Zhu Qiyu to coax his few relatives to laugh. These relatives have a very good advantage: they are low-key and do not cause trouble. On weekdays, he does not do evil, nor is he corrupt and perverts the law, so he lives his own life at home.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu promised to give the eldest uncle and marquis, the second uncle and the third uncle, and the two aunts to give a fate, and the five families were very content.

After chatting for a long time, Guo Cong from the second room of the Hou family in Wuding came to ask to see him. Since he heard about the matter of the second marquis of the first door yesterday, Guo Cong was anxious to confirm it, and he had to hear the promise of the new monarch with his own ears before he could rest assured.

Zhu Qiyu didn't sell it, and in front of Guo Cong, he personally promised that as soon as the war was over, he would make Guo Cong the Marquis of Wenxin, the same hereditary replacement as the Marquis of Wuding. His only request is that the big house and the second room will be reconciled, and the brothers will help each other and get along in harmony in the future.

How can Guo Cong refuse to agree, now that there is no battle for the title, there is no need to fight between the big house and the second room. Without the conflict of interests, who would be a brother and let outsiders see the jokes.

On this day, the people were one after another, it was easy to have lunch, and everyone was sent away, Zhu Qiyu was just about to make up for a nap, Jin Ying and Xing'an came to ask for a meeting.
