For the castration of prisoners of war, the previous emperors also turned one eye open and one eye closed.

These prisoners of war entered the palace as eunuchs, and some were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, such as the famous Zheng He. There are also those who hate Daming deeply and fight back, such as Xining.

As for the batch of little eunuchs sent by Ningyang Hou, will there be a few more Xinings in it? It's hard to say.

If there is really a new 'Xining', taking advantage of the chaos in the palace, he will come to the side of the Empress Dowager Sun and stab her one or two to avenge the castration, it will not be good.

However, in this way, it should be possible to completely eliminate the cruel method of castration of prisoners of war. Then this new 'Xining' can be regarded as doing a good deed for everyone.

Zhu Qiyu discussed some political affairs with everyone again, and then went back to sleep. Huang Pu and Lian Gang got into a carriage and rushed back to the capital, busy with their respective affairs.

The remaining four people, He Yi, Xu Zheng, Huang Jian, and Yue Zheng, stayed in the pavilion to deal with the manuscript sent by the capital.

Although the yamen had not yet fully resumed their work, in the afternoon, a large number of urgent recitals were delivered.

Several Chinese scholars finished reading the book one by one, and they were also very helpless. The ministers sent by the emperor were so efficient that it was only the fourteenth day of the first month, and the letter asking the emperor to issue an edict had already been handed over.

Xu Zheng and the others all stared at He Yi. Whether or not to show the book to the emperor now has to be decided by He Yi. If the emperor is angry because of this, this pot will have to be carried on its back. Who made He Yi a scholar of Youchunfang University.

He Yi pondered for a long time before replying: "You don't need to show it to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is already mentally prepared for the ministers to write to the palace, and I am afraid that the countermeasures have already been taken into account."

Let's not ask about this matter of the Sacred Heart's arbitrariness, and don't bother with it.

Let's do as I have commanded, and draw up an edict for your own crimes.

Brother Ji Fang, you are Tanhualang, and your writing is the best, so you will be the main writer. We're here to help you out. ”

When Yue Zheng heard this, he took the errand as a result.

Yue Zheng also understood that this was He Yi to save face, and he wrote a letter requesting to restore Empress Hu, which was already greatly appreciated by the emperor. If this edict is written again, then the emperor will definitely be blue-eyed towards himself.

So several people were busy until late at night for an inexplicable guilty edict.

Early the next morning, it was the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and several people got together and continued to polish word by word. At the end of the writing, several people themselves looked at each other and laughed.

The emperor who defended the Beijing Division, saved the Ming Dynasty, and established the immortal merit, even had to issue an edict for the New Year, which is too weird.

Zhu Qiyu got up early in the morning, took the favorite concubines to the mausoleum of Queen Hu, and then returned to the room, leaning on the soft couch with his whole body relaxed, enjoying the meticulous and thoughtful service of the favorite concubines.

There are those who read to themselves, those who feed themselves, those who pinch their shoulders, and those who rub their legs.

The rich and noble sons of heaven and the perfect old people in later generations gathered the world's famous springs together, carefully weighed and compared, and finally determined the spring water of Yuquan Mountain to be the first in the world.

Now the favorite concubines used jade to hold freshly beaten spring water, brewed famous tea, and sent it to Zhu Qiyu's mouth with cherry-scented lips one by one.

Zhu Qiyu felt extremely comfortable in his heart, this is what it means to be an emperor.

With this emperor-like enjoyment and a refreshing and cheerful mood, you can have a sharper and more thorough thinking to better control the complicated and complicated court situation.

After Lin Xiangyu took a sip of fragrant tea, she asked with a smile: "Husband, will we always be able to live a quiet life like this in the future?" ”

Zhu Qiyu replied angrily: "Hmph, you should be able to live a more peaceful life." I'll forget it, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor sent me such a big surprise.

Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, and they don't want to be peaceful, they still have to work.

Wait, let's go to bed later today and see if there's any bad news. ”

Lin Xiangyu continued to ask: "Can't you cut through the mess quickly?" We're always scared like this, and it's not a problem after a long time. ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he was even more angry: "You think I don't want to, but how can I cut through the mess quickly?" The vassal kings, the old nobles, and the civil and military officials at the middle and lower levels are basically all devoted to the emperor.

There are enemies on all sides, and I don't even know who to kill.

Therefore, we must give up the idea of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and let the emperor's sworn friends slowly jump out one by one.

Then we take the opportunity to clean them. ”

"Okay, husband, don't be angry with people like them, why don't you go to the fire for you?"

"Okay, go to the fire, go ahead."

Nothing to say for a day.

In the evening, Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Qian hosted a banquet in the Qianqing Palace.

King Min, King Shu, King of Eastern Wu County, as well as brothers of the Guo family, Hu family, and Wu family all died and could not come. The people who came to the banquet were all vassal kings and relatives who were close to the emperor.

Fengtian Palace, Huagai Palace, and Jinshen Hall have all been burned to the ground now, so the Qianqing Palace has temporarily become a banquet place.

At this time, King Xiang, King Qin and others were still in the capital. Originally, King Xiang wanted to leave Beijing on the fourth day of the first month, but was sent by the emperor to stay, and Zhu Qiyu asked all the vassal kings to leave Beijing and return to China after the Lantern Festival.

Poor King Xiang, listening to the roaring of the two tigers sent by Zhu Qiyu every day, has not had a good night's sleep for several days.

This is the advantage of the emperor holding the name of righteousness, and he can find a high-sounding reason to toss you, and make you feel bitter and unspeakable.

Therefore, King Xiang also very much supported Empress Dowager Sun to take advantage of the disaster of the three major palaces, and asked the emperor to follow the story of Taizong and issue an edict to introspect himself.

The other kings are the same, the good Lantern Festival feast has become a feast of whining and pouring bitter water.

The emperor didn't have any other means than disgusting and disgusting the vassal kings, so the vassal kings didn't have too many scruples with the heart of not blaming the people.

Empress Dowager Sun was much more cautious, at most she smiled and nodded, and did not comment on the words of the kings.

Although Wang Cheng, Shu Liang and others were not waiting in the Qianqing Palace, Empress Dowager Sun also knew in her heart that the emperor's eyeliner was indispensable in this hall.

Eunuchs, tending to the flames and changing the court are the most common operations.

After the dinner was over, the vassal kings and their relatives left one after another, and some of the vassal kings who had drunk too much scolded and scolded while walking, venting their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

It was originally good, why was it that in just half a year, the orthodox emperor was suddenly captured inexplicably, and the lineage of Xuanzong, which was supported and supported by the vassal kings, fell overnight.

Then the concubine that everyone hated, Zhu Qiyu, who even got the position of the prince wrongly, turned into a great tomorrow.

What made everyone even more angry was that Zhu Qiyu did not become a puppet, but in just a few months, he made immortal achievements and controlled the Jingshi.

Moreover, Zhu Qiyu gave up sitting in the capital in person, and went to live in the western suburbs for a long time, how stable is his throne to be so confident.

The more people thought about it, the more angry they became, and the more they thought about it, the more unwilling they became.

Just after the vassal kings returned to the Ten Kings' Mansion, they lay down on the bed, and they hadn't slept much. I heard the voices of people outside and the noise was shouting.
