Before the arrival of the mission, Zhu Qizhen really felt that as long as he could return to Beijing, even if he was an ordinary person.

But with the arrival of the mission, felt tents, chariots, concubines, and maidservants were all there. After living a luxurious and luxurious life again, Zhu Qizhen still prefers to be the emperor who is high.

Full of warmth and lust, it is vividly reflected in Zhu Qizhen.

Regarding Li Shi's proposal to publicly issue an edict against himself, Zhu Qizhen was very resistant: If this edict is issued, I am afraid that the characterization of his own conquest will completely change.

Without committing his own edict, the characterization of the change of Tumubao is: the army of Warat invaded the border, and the orthodox emperor did not avoid danger and obstacles, and personally led the six divisions to meet Warat.

However, due to the abandonment of Shanxi's military equipment and the lack of fighting spirit, the army was unfortunately ambushed, so that the car driver was mistakenly trapped in the court.

This statement can highlight Zhu Qizhen's glorious image of serving the country and the people, which is somewhat decent.

But if you make an edict of guilt, the first one will definitely not be able to run away from the eunuchs and the troubled dynasty.

It is also a fact that the second article is a loss of teachers and humiliation of the country, and it is almost the overthrow of the society.

Third, the Son of Heaven called the door, and led the way first, and this hat could not escape.

If you condemn this crime, your reputation will be completely finished.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen asked Li Shi: "What if I refuse to make an edict against myself?" ”

When Li Shi heard this, he shook his head: "This is just the words of the Weichen family, how Your Majesty will act after returning to Beijing still needs to be discussed and decided by you and the Empress Dowager and the Emperor." This is not something that a courtier can judge. ”

Zhu Qizhen did not give up, and continued to ask: "Then after I return to Beijing, where will I live, and can I see the minister?" Can I be restricted?

As an envoy, it is impossible for the emperor not to explain anything before you come, so don't use one question and three ignorance to perfunctory. ”

Li Shi replied helplessly: "After the Emperor Taishang returned to Beijing, he naturally lived in the Qianqing Palace, which was clearly ordered by His Majesty. His Majesty has never expressed the idea of restricting the Emperor's freedom.

As for the reception of the minister, although His Majesty did not mention it, the minister thought that the emperor still lived in the deep palace and cultivated his self-cultivation. ”

Zhu Qizhen frowned and turned to look at Li Xian.

Li Xian nodded and agreed with Li Shi's words: "Emperor Qiyu, the situation in the capital is like this, the throne has been determined, it cannot be changed, and it is impossible for Your Majesty to return the throne to you."

Not to mention that this involves the lives of the emperor's family, even if it is a Manchu dynasty, it is impossible to support your restoration. ”

Li Xian's attitude is already very straightforward and sincere. The ministers supported Zhu Qiyu as the emperor, which was actually a matter of abolition.

If you support the restoration of Zhu Qizhen in the future, it will be the second time that you will abolish the establishment.

Isn't this a blatant violation of Confucian etiquette?

At least at the public level, there are absolutely no civil and military officials and vassal lords who will stand up and demand that Zhu Qiyu return to the throne.

After all, no one can be so stupid. asked Zhu Qiyu to return to the throne, and Yu Gong said that it was a violation of the etiquette law to abolish the emperor; Yu said privately that it was unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and the lack of morality was smoking. It is impossible for public or private affairs to be recognized by the government and the opposition.

When Zhu Qizhen heard Li Xian's words, his face became even more ugly.

After being stunned for a long time, Zhu Qizhen asked the most critical question: "How will the prince be in the future?" ”

When Li Xian heard this, he sighed and shook his head silently.

Li Shi also reacted in the same way.

Zhu Qizhen was really anxious when he saw this: "Zhu Qiyu is even going to abolish the prince?" ”

Li Shi shook his head and replied, "Your Majesty has never expressed this meaning. But Emperor Tai, think about it, if it were you, would you pass on the hard-earned country to your nephew? ”

Zhu Qizhen also shook his head, and immediately retorted: "The problem is that Zhu Qiyu sat on the throne on behalf of me, and he is only the acting emperor, how can it be said that the country was built by his hard work?" ”

Li Shi replied helplessly: "What kind of country Your Majesty has taken over, the Emperor himself knows." At that time, Beijing was in danger, and the entire north almost fell.

And the south is full of Miao chaos and civil uprisings, except for Nanzhili, there is almost no place to live.

In addition, there was the abolition of armaments and the collapse of guards. The soldiers fled without permission, and there were even only 12 out of 10 soldiers in Shanxi and other local guard posts.

There are also local military generals who eat empty salaries and occupy Tuntian. The vassal kings of various places did evil and cruel the people.

Due to the Battle of Luchuan, the taxes borne by the people in the south have become heavier and heavier, and they have reached the point where they can no longer survive.

There are so many disadvantages in the Ming Dynasty that it is no longer possible to finish it in one or two sentences.

In short, His Majesty inherited such a country, if the emperor can work hard, the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous. The minister thought that the government and the opposition would not oppose the death of the father and the succession of the son. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he was completely stunned, if even the crown prince was to be abolished, then the throne would be completely out of his lineage, and wouldn't there be no hope for his own life.

Zhu Qizhen retorted unwillingly: "Zhu Qiyu uses a small sect and a large sect, isn't this a violation of the law of etiquette?" Didn't anyone stand up against it? ”

When Li Shi heard this, in order to make the Emperor completely sober, he gave a dose of fierce medicine: "Isn't it a violation of the law of etiquette for the Empress Dowager to depose Empress Hu back then?" It was different, and no one stood up against it.

Besides, as long as ten or twenty years are passed, when the benevolence and righteousness of today's son are spread all over the world, and the merits are spread all over the world, people's hearts will slowly change.

Once the subjects of the world gradually accept the fact that the saint passed on to Empress Hu, then today's son is the son of the queen and the great sect of etiquette.

And the Emperor, you yourself are the small sect. ”

Li Shi also knew that his words were beyond the boundaries of the ministers, so as soon as he finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, prostrate and wait for the sin.

Zhu Qizhen picked up the teacup and slammed it to the ground.

It's a pity that there is a thick carpet in the felt tent, and the cups are fine, but the tea is spilled on the floor.

It's really an evil sect, and Zhu Qizhen has heard for the first time that a small sect can become a big sect, a large sect can become a small sect, and the positions of a large sect and a small sect can even be changed.

The atmosphere in the tent was extremely depressing, and after a long silence for a cup of tea, Zhu Qizhen coldly ordered: "Okay, I know what you said."

Let's go back today, go back and be Zhu Qiyu's loyal ministers. ”

Unexpectedly, Li Shi even refused: "When the Emperor Qiqi and the ministers arrived at the same time, His Majesty sent a messenger to catch up with the mission, and specially instructed the ministers and others to stay in Wara to serve the Emperor until the weather warmed up and the grass grew and the warbler flew, and then the life of the Emperor Taishang was completely settled, and the ministers and others could return to Beijing." ”

Zhu Qizhen was really speechless, what kind of play did his younger brother play, is there any point in leaving two envoys to stay in the Yexian army?

In fact, Li Xian and Li Shi didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd.

However, as a minister, there is no other way but to act according to orders.

Seeing that the matter had completely collapsed, Zhu Qizhen had no choice but to wave off the two envoys, and then summon the concubines in to continue to enjoy themselves.

But this time there is a little difference: Yuan Bin was transferred back to the capital by Zhu Qiyu. Therefore, Yuan Bin and his four concubines did not come with the mission.

……

On the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Qiyu was also immersed in Gentle Township for most of the day, and it was not until he took a nap that he came out to summon his cronies and generals.
