The result of Zhu Qiyu's solicitation of opinions is that no one has an opinion.

Now the court's ministers have become polarized. These cabinet scholars and six scholars who sat in Beijing and held great power were all firmly following the emperor; Then the middle and lower class ministers, as well as local officials, including the important ministers in Nanjing, were all devoted to the emperor.

However, with the blessing of righteousness, although there are many officials who are close to the emperor, there is no way to take Zhu Qiyu.

No matter how much he refuses to accept it, the emperor is the emperor after all, as long as Zhu Qiyu refuses to take the initiative to abdicate, it will not work for the ministers to resist the decree and rebel.

The only way is to burn incense at home every day and pray that Zhu Qiyu will not give birth to a son.

It's a pity, Zhu Qiyu has a total of fifteen favorite concubines, as long as he can give birth to five or six adult princes, if the emperor faction wants to turn the tables, it will basically be difficult to ascend to the sky.

So now the emperor faction and the emperor faction are fighting wolves, and both are afraid. The Emperor's faction was scratching its head at the inability of the people's hearts to return, and the Emperor's faction was desperate for the emperor's heir who was bound to come.

Especially now, the entire Yuquan Mountain is tightly surrounded, except for the emperor and fifteen favorite concubines, as well as four little maids who can occasionally enter to pass the message, the rest of the people, trespassers die.

Zhu Qiyu directly delegated the right to act cheaply to the guards, and those who trespassed on Yuquan Mountain were executed on the spot without asking for instructions.

So it's a bit difficult to do anything about the emperor's fertility.

First of all, the emperor will not poison himself himself.

Secondly, the favorite concubines will not poison themselves themselves.

As for the four little maids, they can only stay in the gatehouse at ordinary times, and when there are urgent military and political affairs, they can enter Yuquan Mountain to deliver messages. I can't stop after delivering the message, and I have to go out immediately.

Zhu Qiyu's strange operation of returning to the garden and pastoral residence really disgusted the entire emperor faction.

If the Emperor lived in the Forbidden City, the Emperor faction had at least one hundred and twenty-one ways to make the Emperor infertile.

But now, the emperor is in a state of leisure, and he is even preparing to grow vegetables and rice by himself.

It's really desperate, the die-hard members of the Emperor faction have begun to complain about Xuanzong and Empress Dowager Sun in their hearts. Originally, Xuanzong had such two sons, and they were all well raised in the Forbidden City.

As a result, under the control of the Empress Dowager Sun, Xuanzong lived to be thirty-seven years old, with a total of two sons.

That's it, the key is that the other one is still raised outside the palace. Now it's okay, people don't want to enter the palace at all, and they even have an extreme disgust with the Forbidden City, which is in stark contrast to the two emperors of Orthodoxy and Xuande who love the Forbidden City to death.

Therefore, the cabinet scholars and the six books, who are quite familiar with the cruelty of the palace struggle, find it a little funny. The 'young and knowledgeable' emperor was not pitted into the Forbidden City, but the Empress Dowager Sun, who had decades of experience in court struggle, was burned by the fire and had no fixed place to live, and was forced to squeeze into the small Yinghua Hall to survive.

Now even the name of the Holy Empress Dowager can't be kept.

Regarding Wang Wen's crazy proposal, after a short period of shock, everyone present quickly echoed it.

Among these important ministers, Chen Xun, Zhou Chen, and Yu Shiyue are the three people with relatively moderate political positions, but after Zhu Qiyu's beating just now, they didn't dare to say anything more.

Wang Wen, Jiang Yuan, He Wenyuan, Luo Tong, He Yi, and Huang Pu are all hardliners who advocate not doing one thing and not doing two things endlessly.

The important ministers of the emperor's faction, Hu Hui, Wang Ao, Yu Qian, Shang Chen, and Peng Shi, were all driven to Nanjing.

After listening to everyone's opinions, Zhu Qiyu, who was already in control, smiled at everyone and said: "Which of you is responsible for going to the Empress Dowager and condolences to the Empress Dowager and Empress Yisheng on behalf of me?" ”

Chen Xun replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that our cabinet scholars and six scholars should go to worship the Queen Mother together, and it will be grand. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and smiled secretly in his heart: Chen Xun means that if there is something that offends people, everyone should do it together, and no one should want to run.

After talking about this matter, Zhu Qiyu was ready to stand up and go home to soak in the hot spring with the concubines.

At this time, Zhou Chen suddenly replied: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since the Empress Dowager wants to cancel the 'Shangsheng' honorific title, then the Empress Taishang should also cancel the 'Yisheng' honorific title." ”

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Those two are both Empress Taishang, how can they be distinguished?" ”

Zhou Chen replied: "It can be distinguished by the palace where you live, for example, one is called Queen Taishang of the North Palace, and the other is called Queen Taishang of the South Palace." ”

"Nangong, haven't I already decided to live for the crown prince?"

Zhou Chen replied: "It's better to move Queen Qian to the South Palace instead, and after the Emperor Taishang returns, he can live in the South Palace with Queen Qian." In this way, the Qianqing Palace does not have to be rebuilt in a hurry. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "How can I bear to drive the Emperor Taishang to live in Nangong, so let's let Queen Qian and Queen Zhou discuss it themselves."

Anyway, the Forbidden City is such a big place, and I'm not uncommon, although they can get it. ”

Although he didn't want to pay attention to the mess in the royal family, Zhu Qiyu still gave great praise to Zhou Chen for quickly knowing his way back and actively expressing his loyalty.

Zhu Qiyu agreed to allocate a quarter of the income from Shanxi's seizure to the Ministry of Industry for the construction of the outer city of Beijing. And approved the Ministry of Industry Baoyuan Bureau to take the lead in setting up a new factory in the outer city, and went all out to cast Jingtai Tongbao.

The tax exemption and exemption from forced labor in the first three years brought a really lot of pressure to the imperial court. Now with the right to mint money, as long as there is a copper mine, there will be a steady stream of financial resources.

Casting copper coins in a down-to-earth manner, although it is not as refreshing as the previous emperors who directly printed treasure money to plunder the wealth of the people, but the trickle of water and the win-win situation of the government and the opposition is what the benevolent monarch and the lord do.

Zhu Qiyu drew a few more flatbreads for everyone, and then dispersed to go home.

When the important ministers returned to the capital, they immediately asked to see the empress dowager.

Empress Dowager Sun didn't think much about it, thinking that such a big thing had happened, and the important ministers were just routinely greetings.

The next day, early in the morning of the nineteenth day of the first lunar month.

Chen Xun, Wang Wen and others came to listen to the propaganda outside the Qianqing Gate.

Wang Jin, Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, and Zhang Yong, a total of four celebrant supervisors, came out together to pick up the important ministers and went to the Yinghua Hall together.

Now there are a total of seven celebrant supervisors in Beijing, Chen Mian and Ruan An were punished by the emperor because of the fire in the Qianqing Palace and Cining Palace in charge, and they have lost power.

Now the celebrant is powerful, and the oldest person with the qualifications is Wang Jin, plus the four eunuchs who followed Zhu Qiyu as a child, a total of five real power and writing.

This time to worship the Queen Mother, four of them were dispatched in one go.

When everyone entered the Yinghua Palace, the Empress Dowager Sun had already reluctantly got up, beat her spirits, and went to the main hall to accept worship.

Originally, people's hearts were already floating now, so Empress Dowager Sun did not dare to make a sick posture again, so as not to deepen her weak image in the hearts of outsiders.

After everyone finished saluting, Empress Dowager Sun glanced around, and her heart was also quite cold: there were more than a dozen eunuchs and ministers, and none of them were from the emperor's faction.
