With the approach of the Zhengdan Dynasty, vassal kings and local officials have entered Beijing one after another, and the battle for the orthodoxy of the heirs is about to officially begin.

This is a question of who can control public opinion and who can obtain the name of righteousness.

Whichever side wins, the one will stand on the moral high ground.

So this is a war without gunpowder, no wonder Yue Zheng will cry, the Emperor faction and the New Monarch faction are likely to enter a life-and-death contest, once they are involved, they will really die if they don't get it right.

When Yue Zheng began to write the recital, he found that he was not jealous immediately. In the past, I only saw people soaring into the sky, but I didn't see the huge risks that people took behind the scenery.

Now that Yue Zheng has personally entered the game, he can empathize with it in an instant.

Being in the game, and being an outsider who is a bystander, the feeling is completely different.

Yue Zheng bit his finger fiercely, anyway, it's all here, just don't do it, don't stop it, write a blood book.

……

But it was said that it was almost noon, and the people of the Zhongshu House had gathered in the West Flower Hall. He Yi was the last to arrive, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Chen Jian sitting in the corner, drinking tea sullenly.

Chen Jian was thrown into prison by Zhu Qizhen in the Orthodox Dynasty to die, before He Yi avenged Chen Jian, and recommended him to be the staff of the Ministry of War, and at the same time served as a member of the Zhongshu House.

Seeing He Yi come in, Chen Jian hurriedly stood up and saluted very enthusiastically.

Chen Jian was not familiar with others, so he only pulled He Yi to chat.

After another moment, Ning Xiang personally came over to invite him, and a small group of people followed him to Qianyun Xuan.

The meal had been set, and Zhu Qiyu was waiting there early, warmly beckoning everyone to take a seat.

There were a total of ten Chinese scholars: He Yi, Huang Pu, Lian Gang, Bai Gui, Xiang Zhong, Ye Sheng, Yao Xian, Xu Zheng, Huang Jian, and Chen Jian.

Zhu Qiyu first expressed his gratitude to everyone for their achievements in these days, and then talked about the next arrangements for everyone one by one.

Zhu Qiyu first said to Bai Gui, Xiang Zhong, and Ye Sheng: "The three of you all have military talents, and I will send you to Shi Heng, Sun Bo, and Liu Yongcheng to counsel the military affairs.

You will accumulate more military qualifications, and you will be able to become the secretary of the military department in the future.

Next, there will be an undercurrent and a constant battle in the capital. Staying in the capital will not be good for your personal future, and if it happens, the rest of your life will be ruined. So go back and pack up and set off tomorrow. ”

Although Bai Gui, Xiang Zhong, and Ye Sheng were reluctant to take sides clearly, and they were a little bit pro-emperor, Zhu Qiyu still did his best to make arrangements. Letting the three of them go to the military counsellor is not the same as kicking out the obstructive minister before.

The young minister's counselor made meritorious contributions to military affairs, which is a very good resume, which will be of great help to the future increase and reuse of officials.

Zhu Qiyu instructed Yao Xian and Lian Gang again: "Yao Aiqing will return to the National Prison and concentrate on preparing for next year's township test." Waiting for you to enter the high school in the year after tomorrow, I will arrange for you to enter the household department for training.

Lian Aiqing has a heavy task, and if you can't leave, you can only do things for me while taking time to prepare for the township exam. Lian Aiqing has been working tirelessly these days in order to promote me, with both credit and hard work. When you win the Jinshi, I will reward you again. ”

Lian Gang understands what the emperor means, and now he is a person, and it is not easy to be promoted. When he wins the jinshi, then the emperor can let go of the promotion. Anyway, he is now the emperor's No. 3 confidant, and Feihuang Tengda will definitely not be able to run.

Next are He Yi and Huang Pu, Zhu Qiyu once struggled with which one should be appointed as a scholar of Zuo Chunfang University and which one should be a scholar of Right Chunfang University. The Ming official system is respected by the left, according to the first come, first come, should be He Yi as a scholar of Zuo Chunfang, and according to age and qualifications, Huang Pu should be a scholar of Zuo Chunfang.

However, He Yi has privately told the emperor that he is willing to be a scholar of Youchunfang University.

As soon as he comes, he should have a long-term vision, and he is willing to humbly retreat and make good connections. Second, He Yi is too young, only twenty-two years old, so he doesn't need to be in a hurry at all, he can afford to wait.

That saves Zhu Qiyu's entanglement, as for Xu Zheng, Huang Jian, and Chen Jian, they came the latest and had the least credit, so there was no change and continued to serve as the original official.

Zhu Qiyu said to He Yi and Huang Pu: "Chengji, you have been promoted to Zuochunfang University Scholar, Honglu Siqing, Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, and Zhongshu Sheren. The previous imperial history of Guangxi Province does not have to be concurrent.

Xingyi, you were promoted to the rank of Youchunfang University Scholar, Hanlin Academy's attendant, and Zhongshu Sheren. In the future, I will be by my side full-time and preside over the government affairs of the West Flower Hall. ”

The two hurriedly thanked them. Zhu Qiyu didn't pretend anymore, and directly promoted Huang Pu to the number one of Honglu Temple, and he was the fourth product.

Honglu Temple is in charge of court meetings, guests, auspicious and evil etiquette, as well as foreign officials on pilgrimage and reception of vassals. In the next Zhengdan Dynasty, there are many places where Honglu Temple is used.

After talking about the job arrangement, the next thing is to drink and chat.

Between the monarch and the minister, the good student has enhanced the relationship. Until the afternoon, the guests and hosts were happy, and the banquet was dispersed.

Zhu Qiyu went home to sleep in a daze, and didn't say anything all night.

……

Early the next morning, King Min and King Xiang arrived in Beijing as scheduled and stayed in the Ten Kings' Mansion.

King Min is seventy years old and is the only living son of Taizu.

As soon as King Min stayed in the Ten Princes' Mansion, he neither went out nor saw guests, but reunited with his own sister, Princess Yongjia, who was a compatriot.

King Xiang is different, he has long been worried. Now as soon as he arrived in Beijing, he immediately entered the palace to see the Empress Dowager Sun.

In the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager Sun retreated left and right, sat down with King Xiang, and before she spoke, she sighed at the same time, feeling depressed.

Previously, King Xiang had written to ask Zhu Jianshen to succeed him and King Yu to supervise the country. As a result, when the book was sent from Changsha to Beijing, Zhu Qiyu had already jumped two levels in a row, first from King Yu to King of Qi, and then from King Qi to the throne as emperor.

After Zhu Qiyu read King Xiang's recital, he replied that he would let King Xiang enter Beijing to supervise the country, and he would abdicate after King Xiang entered Beijing, and return to Shandong to become the king of Qi, and Zhu Jianshen succeeded him.

Then it will be embarrassing now, King Xiang definitely doesn't believe that Zhu Qiyu will take the initiative to abdicate and make way for Xian.

And even if Zhu Qiyu himself is willing to retreat, the ministers will not be willing: we have already kowtowed to the emperor, and the names of the monarchs and ministers have been decided. Now let King Xiang be the regent, and we will kowtow to King Xiang instead, why?

The ministers are all dignified, and they are not kowtowers, so why should they kowtow to that person after kowtowing to this person. There are not so many people in this world who want to learn from Lu Bu.

The most important thing is that the current emperor is not bad to the ministers, and it is unknown what King Xiang will do to the ministers after he ascends the throne. Everyone is living a good life now, why bother to explore an uncertain future for no reason.

It was King Xiang who opened his mouth first: "Imperial sister-in-law, Zhu Qiyu is a concubine, and he was born and raised by a cheap maid in the outer room, how can you make him the emperor?" ”

Empress Dowager Sun supported her forehead with her head: "Alas, at that time, the situation in the capital was like that, Jianshen was still a little doll, and his words were not good, if he was allowed to succeed to the throne, the Qi State would not be able to stabilize the hearts of the people at all."

The country is dependent on the long monarch, and the three-year-old young lord is in power, so he must be the lord and the country. And if the King of Qi is only in charge of the country, there is a difference in the name of righteousness, and it is difficult to fully mobilize the strength of the entire court to fight against the Warat army.

So it was all helpless, and there was really no way to do it at that time.

It's just that I can't imagine that Zhu Qiyu is so difficult. ”

When King Xiang heard this, he immediately stopped doing it: "Then he is a lowly concubine, why should he be the king of Qi?" I'm not afraid of longevity. ”
