Zhu Qiyu mentioned it first, it was really a coincidence, Yu Shiyue replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, I also sent the special envoy Naha out first, I just arrived yesterday." This time, he no longer had the previous arrogance, and respectfully handed over the letter written by himself, hoping to restore the tribute and stop the army and make peace. ”

"Wishful thinking!"

For Ye Xian, Zhu Qiyu gave a four-word evaluation, which attracted a happy laugh from everyone.

In the past 20 years, he has also suffered the love of Xuanzong, Sanyang, Zhengxi, and Wang Zhen, and has been praised to a height that does not belong to him.

Now that the six major backers are gone, Zhongxing Ming has finally taken the throne, and he has finally returned to the life that should belong to him, which is really happy.

Zhu Qiyu continued to ask: "Does the Emperor have a letter?" ”

Yu Shiyue took out two letters and handed them over: "Your Majesty, these two letters are written by the Emperor Taishang himself, one is written to His Majesty, and the other is written to the Queen Mother. Your Majesty, please take a look. ”

This is another small pit, but Zhu Qiyu chose not to jump, and waved his hand very firmly: "Transfer the letter written by the Emperor to the Empress Dowager directly to the celebrant and let the celebrant send it to the Yinghua Palace."

Open this letter from the Emperor Taishang to me and read it, and everyone will listen to it. ”

Yu Shiyue had to open the letter and read it aloud.

The letter was written with deep affection, Zhu Qizhen first deeply reviewed his mistakes, then described in detail the hardships outside the Saiwai, and finally almost pleaded, urging the imperial court to go to meet him.

Zhu Qizhen wrote it in his own hand for the first time: If he can return to Beijing, he is willing to be an ordinary person in the Ming Dynasty, and he only asks the emperor and his ministers to go to greet him as soon as possible.

Zhu Qiyu was silent after listening to Yu Shiyue's recitation.

Everyone present looked at each other: it is conceivable that it is really hard to go outside, and in that place where birds don't, they have to be displaced and flee in all directions, and they will suffer from it when they think about it.

Everyone waited for the emperor to express his opinion, but Zhu Qiyu didn't want to speak.

The monarch and the minister were not embarrassed or embarrassed to stalemate for a cup of tea, but Yu Shiyue couldn't hold back first, and took the lead in asking: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, how should you reply to the letter?" ”

Zhu Qiyu replied with a sincere face: "You just said to the Emperor Taishang in the reply letter that when the weather is warmer and the grass outside the fortress grows, the imperial court will reorganize the Xiaocai Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and the Yingzhou Guard into an army of 100,000 people, and go to the outside of the Saiwai to bring back the Emperor Taishang, and completely eliminate them by the way." ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded again and again. The emperor's reply was very decent, showing a positive attitude of welcoming back the emperor. After Zhu Qizhen received the letter, he would definitely reply to the letter again and refuse the imperial court to send troops.

After a while, half a year has passed.

These people present all understood that the Emperor Taishang would never dare to let the emperor's own army pick it up, what he wanted was that the emperor would send Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao, Anyuan Marquis Liu Pu, and Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji to pick up according to his previous promise.

Zhu Qizhen got the news in Warat very late, and at this time he didn't know about the fierce struggle between the Emperor faction and the Emperor faction that had happened recently.

Zhu Qiyu asked again: "Did the mission sent before arrive in Warat?" The weather is still very cold, and it is too bitter outside, so it is the most important thing to send the clothes and maids and concubines to the emperor quickly. ”

Yu Shiyue replied: "It has been a month since the mission set off, and if you know where the first department is stationed, it is estimated that it will be there in a few days." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "What happened to the war in the south?" ”

Luo Tong replied when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Ningyang is playing, the people in the southeast have been pacified, and I request to be taught immediately." The Miao Rebellion in the southwest is still in a stalemate stage for the time being. The Miao people are powerful, sweeping the entire Huguang and Guizhou, there are two or three hundred thousand people, Jing Yuanbo wrote a letter urging food and wages, I am afraid that it will not be more than half a year, it will be difficult to calm down.

In addition, Jing Yuanbo also asked His Majesty about his Majesty's attitude towards Miao Chao in the book, and how far he hoped to fight the war? ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he leaned back on the soft couch, touched his forehead with his hand, and sighed again and again.

There's really nothing that makes you feel at ease.

These ministers are still digging holes for the emperor.

Especially Wang Ji's question, it is equivalent to directly letting Zhu Qiyu answer by himself, whether it is a fierce attack, brutal suppression, or a combination of suppression and appeasement, and the symptoms can be treated.

How can Zhu Qiyu answer this, I can't say that I personally ordered it, you guys are engaged in a massacre.

The tyrant's hat is fastened on his head, and he can't take it off.

But it is obvious that Wang Ji also does not want to bear the reputation of being cruel and easy to kill.

The paradox of the problem lies in the fact that without a heavy hand, this seedling chaos will not be completely eradicated for 50 years.

Ordinary encirclement and suppression can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Although it can be temporarily calmed down, but the army leaves, and in three or two years, the Miao rebellion will rise again.

In desperation, Zhu Qiyu asked the ministers present one by one, but the replies he got were all respectfully asking His Majesty the Emperor to make a decision.

In the end, Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to wave his hand: "Let's disperse, I'm annoyed, I want to rest for a few days." On the 28th day of the first lunar month, a court meeting was held to discuss the reform of the military system. ”

After that, Zhu Qiyu stood up and went home in a hurry.

When the ministers saw this, they all dispersed.

Zhu Qiyu returned home and carefully studied the military reform plan.

Zhu Qiyu planned to redivide the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces, abolish Beijing's Shangzhi Guard, reduce the Lingwei, reorganize Beijing's Jingying, and merge the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Daning Metropolitan Division.

At that time, it will inevitably cause an uproar, and it will offend a group of people, especially the old nobles and the military generals who are pro-emperor. As a result, the contradictions between the two sides are irreconcilable.

For Zhu Qiyu, it's not okay not to do this.

Now it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and after the battle of Tumubao, the old Beijing army was basically wiped out. The nobles and generals who can stand up to the stage are either lost or go to the south.

At this time, the impact surface can be controlled to the minimum, and the resistance is relatively minimal.

When the number of troops in Beijing recovers, it will be difficult to reform again.

……

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

Just when Zhu Qiyu was soaking in the hot springs every day, while enjoying himself leisurely and thinking about the reform of the military system, Yu Qian also led an army of 100,000 and rushed to Wang Ji's camp.

Zhu Qiyu was very speechless to Wang Ji, and similarly, Wang Ji was also speechless to Zhu Qiyu, the absurd emperor.

Wang Ji originally had an army of 150,000 in his hands, but now that he is good, the emperor has transferred another 100,000 in one go. What the hell is going on?

Ping Miao Chao, really need to use 250,000 troops?

Moreover, Wang Ji is also in charge of the military affairs of the five provinces, and has Zhu Qiyu's special authorization to requisition and transfer troops within the five provinces as appropriate.

In other words, if Wang Ji is willing, he can even increase the total number of troops under his command to more than 300,000.

Wang Ji himself was puzzled: Is it necessary for the emperor to trust me so much? What I have in my hands now can really be called the main force of the Ming army.

Zhu Qiyu didn't care about himself, until Chongzhen hanged himself, there were no generals in the entire Ming Dynasty who pulled the flag and rebelled. There was not a single military general who rebelled, let alone Wenchen.

The feudal dynasty passed to the Ming Dynasty, and the monarchy centralization has developed to its peak. The Wenchen military generals pulled the flag and rebelled, just to play around with the heads of the nine clans.

So even if Wang Ji had more than 200,000 troops in his hands, Zhu Qiyu didn't care.

Yu Qian took Shi Heng, Liu Yongcheng, Jin Ying, Xing'an, Chen Xiang, Bai Gui, Xiang Zhong and others into Wang Ji's Chinese army tent.

After the commotion of the crowd, Bai Gui was the first to stand up and present the emperor's secret decree to Wang Ji.
