April 21.

The return of Li Xian's delegation to Beijing immediately caused an uproar.

The situation has been calm for three months, and now the government and the opposition finally can't hold back again.

The Emperor faction once again ushered in an opportunity to challenge the Emperor.

The dignified emperor finally became a shepherd outside the Saiwai. If you go further north, won't it become a 'Su Wu shepherd'?

This is really unreasonable, and the ministers can use this as a reason to attack the emperor openly.

The root cause of the Emperor's current suffering comes from the emperor's refusal to kill them all first.

Now that the southeast civil rebellion has been suppressed, and the Miao rebellion in the southwest has been temporarily pacified, the emperor has been reluctant to transfer back the 200,000 troops of Jingyuanbo and Ningyang Hou, which is the evidence that the emperor is passive and slack, and refuses to take back the emperor.

In the morning, the recitals that insinuated the emperor had already snowflakes into the cabinet.

After lunch, Zhu Qiyu came out slowly to deal with government affairs.

Although Zhu Qiyu emphasized many times that the cabinet bachelors and the six books do not have to go to the western suburbs every day, Chen Xun, Wang Wen and other important ministers still come neatly, and there are many of them.

In addition, Li Xian and Li Shi also came to restore their lives.

Zhu Qiyu ordered Li Xian and Li Shi to wait on the first floor, and he met Chen Xun and others on the third floor first.

Chen Xun first recounted the reaction of the government and the opposition: "I have completely torn my face, all the slaves and materials of the Emperor Taishang have been repatriated, and now the Emperor Taishang is alone, hanging alone, living by shepherding sheep all day long, and there is no dignity at all."

The tragic experience of the emperor has exceeded the limit of patience of most courtiers. This not only damages the majesty and dignity of the Ming Dynasty, but also insults and tramples on the emperor.

The people up and down the capital were equally indignant, and no one could tolerate such a thing as the former emperor.

The cabinet and the six ministries, as well as the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Honglu Temple, are under great pressure, and I ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, it's my fault that I didn't welcome back the emperor." Then I'll do it again. ”

"Huh? What did you say, Your Majesty? ”

Chen Xun thought for a moment that he had misheard or hallucinated. There is nothing to discuss here, and the emperor will make an edict as soon as he comes up?

Is it a good thing to make an edict against oneself, how do you feel that the emperor still has some impatience.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu emphasized again: "Recently, I have been introspecting myself every day, and I feel that I have not been able to completely destroy it first, so that the Emperor Taishang will suffer outside the fortress and will not be able to return to Beijing for a long time, which is really a disadvantage to all the people in the world."

The cabinet hurried up to draft an edict, and issued the edict early tomorrow morning, and then ordered the army of Jing Yuanbo to immediately send a division.

However, Jing Yuanbo did not have to return to Beijing, and directly led the army into Ganzhou, and then after a short rest, he went out of the fortress to attack the base camp of Yexian: Tiguranti.

The cabinet and the six ministries must fully cooperate, dispatch enough ordnance, grain and grass, and in this battle, they must be completely annihilated and the remnants of the army must be eliminated first, and the emperor will return to Beijing. ”

Speaking of this, everyone present was a little confused: Is the emperor serious? It's not like the emperor's style.

Now the emperor's position is not stable, and there is no heir. If this brings the Emperor Taishang back, just wait for the Ming Dynasty to fall into endless infighting.

The cabinet and the six ministries are all emperors, and from the bottom of their hearts, everyone is reluctant to return to Beijing.

Zhu Qiyu has another consideration. The first is the issue of the edict of guilt, which is to pave the way for the emperor to issue the edict of the emperor in the future, which can also be understood as throwing bricks and attracting jade.

has made his own edicts many times, and when the emperor gives his own edicts, it will not seem so abrupt. It will not make people think that he forced the emperor to issue an edict.

After all, the emperor has issued three or four edicts of guilt, and the emperor has such a big sin, and the next edict does not seem to be too much.

As for sending Wang Ji to lead the army to completely exterminate Ye Xian, not to mention the vast thousands of miles of prairie, there are also hands, feet and horses first, and they will not wait to be cut down in place like wood, how can it be so easy to be surrounded by an army of 100,000.

Besides, Wang Jiken's refusal to go all out to rescue the Emperor Taishang is still a problem.

After this suppression of Miao Chao, Zhu Qiyu has already understood a little, and Wang Ji is not very loyal to the emperor.

If Wang Ji is really dead set on the Emperor Taishang, then he will definitely not be the biggest winner of this suppression of the Miao Rebellion:

The original defenders of Xuanfu, Yang Hong's descendants, have all been wiped out.

Emperor Taishang's in-law, his confidant, and Liu Pu, Marquis of Anyuan, died in battle.

King Xiang, the most staunch supporter of Emperor Taishang in the Zong Domain, was attacked and captured, and although he was redeemed, his body and mind and reputation were greatly damaged, and he could not stand up at all.

There are also Shi Heng, Sun Bo, Liu Yongcheng, Yang Shan, Jin Ying, and Xing'an defeated again, and they have completely lost their initial arrogance.

Proud soldiers, that's the most difficult thing to manage.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu instructed Chen Xun: "Order Yang Shan, Jin Ying, and Xing'an to return to Beijing." Shi Heng garrisoned Xiangyang and took over the 50,000 new troops in Xiangyang. Sun Bo succeeded Liu Pu, Marquis of Anyuan, and guarded Guangxi. Liu Yongcheng led his army into Yunnan.

Jing Yuanbo led the main force of 100,000 Ming troops into Ganzhou and prepared for the Northern Expedition. Ningyang Hou returned to Nanjing and reorganized the Nanjing Beijing camp with Yu Qian.

Yang Hong and Yang Jie were tried by the three law divisions, and after being convicted, they were escorted to Xuanfu and executed by Ling Chi.

Guo Jing, the former eunuch of Datong Town, has been locked in prison without disposal, and now he is also escorted to Xuanfu Lingchi. ”

The minister sighed in his heart when he heard this, this emperor, alas, apologized first and then killed, and as soon as he finished the edict of his own guilt, he followed the murder and established his authority.

Zhu Qiyu immediately added: "The crime convicted of Yang Hong and his son is that they colluded with Wara and betrayed the Ming army. Smuggling ordnance and causing trouble to the enemy.

Just these sixteen words, don't talk about anything else. ”

This is the lesson that Zhu Qiyu learned from Chongzhen. Chongzhen had to talk about the east and the west and list a bunch of crimes for the metropolitan governor, but as a result, let the family overturn the case.

You talk so much, and the common people of later generations will not remember it. The result is that the point is not prominent at all, which gives others room for confusion.

This is exhaustive, which is equal to not exhausting.

In fact, don't pursue anything else, as long as you bite the right guard of Guangning and send grain and grass to Houjin, none of the two governors can escape, and no one wants to overturn the case.

When I got to Zhu Qiyu, I didn't engage in so many bells and whistles anymore, and the conviction of Yang Hong was collusion with Wara, and I didn't talk about anything else.

Want to overturn the case in the future? Then turn it over, and I'll see how you wash it.

After dealing with these, Zhu Qiyu ordered someone to call Li Xian and Li Shi up, and then made a statement of great concern, and listened to the two of them tell the tragic experience of the Emperor Taishang in detail.

Unexpectedly, I really heard what Zhu Qiyu wanted. During the period of Li Shi's Warat, he once very earnestly persuaded the emperor to issue an edict against himself, and completely gave up his power, lived in seclusion in the deep palace, and lived for a long time.

It's a pity that the Emperor Taishang is very reluctant, and still has great expectations for the crown prince Zhu Jianshen to ascend the throne, and then the Emperor Taishang will be regent and regain power.

Zhu Qiyu also felt very helpless, things have come to this point, how good it is to go directly to Fengyang Palace to enjoy life comfortably, if you have to force me to kill everything, why bother.
