Zhu Qiyu continued: "I want to ensure that several of you will live well, and you will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, and you will enjoy it inexhaustibly.

So sometimes you have to be ruthless.

As for Mr. Cheng, he is now the deputy garrison of Nanjing. I will not treat him badly, and in a few years, I will appoint him as the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, and also the chief eunuch of Nanjing.

At that time, more eunuchs will be sent from Beijing to Nanjing, and Mr. Cheng, as the largest eunuch in Nanjing, still has a lot of real power.

I think I'm already worthy of him, and I can't help it if I'm not satisfied. ”

When Zhang Yong heard this, he hurriedly patted his ass: "The emperor thinks about us wholeheartedly, and the slaves and maids are grateful to him. Even if it is for the emperor's liver and brain, he will not hesitate. ”

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, okay, you are all my people, I won't let you smear your liver and brains." Okay, it's all down-to-earth, don't think about it, go back and do a serious errand. When I went down, I called Hao Yi and Ruan Xi up. ”

After sending Shu Liang and the three of them away, Zhu Qiyu leaned on the soft couch with his head tilted up, and couldn't stop sighing.

After a short time, Hao Yi and Ruan Xi went upstairs and saluted, and Ruan Xi asked curiously: "Master, what's wrong with you, everything has been going well recently, the government and the opposition are peaceful, and several mothers are pregnant, what else is worth your sigh so much?" ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he sighed heavily, and then replied: "My eldest son has not yet been born, the throne is not stable, and the people's hearts have not been attached.

At this time, the Emperor Taishang is about to be welcomed back, I have made so many strange things before, and when the people who oppose me have the backbone of the Emperor, they will rebound greatly if they don't get it right.

Besides, when the war with Warat is completely over, the war in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty will be temporarily subsided.

Then the next step is the deep reform.

The thought of in-depth reform makes me tired and feel powerless. ”

When Ruan Xi heard this, he replied very seriously: "The slave maid now has a thousand pure troops under his command, or will the slave and maid directly clear the palace ban for the little master?" ”

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand vigorously: "Don't, we must not do it ourselves." If we let the world know that we did it, how can this emperor be the emperor?

Killing the Emperor is not the same as killing the vassal king, Xuanzong is okay to kill the King of Han, it doesn't mean that we are okay to kill the emperor.

The Emperor Taishang must be allowed to 'die of natural causes', such as the bitter cold outside the plug and the displacement of the body that hurts the foundation of the body; For example, excessive anxiety and excessive indulgence lead to frailty and sickness; Another example is the alternation of hot and cold, infection with wind and cold, these are all fine.

The only thing that is not allowed is arson, poisoning, or falling into the water. ”

Seeing that the emperor's attitude was so resolute, Ruan Xi had to nod reluctantly.

Zhu Qiyu continued to ask: "Recently, can Empress Dowager Sun and Queen Qian be reconciled?" ”

Ruan Xi smiled bitterly: "Empress Dowager Sun is quite peaceful, she only eats fasting and recites Buddha in the Yinghua Palace, except for the Marquis of Huichang, she has not summoned anyone else."

As for Queen Qian, there have been a lot of small moves recently.

According to the slave's opinion, the prince and princess of the Emperor Taishang may inevitably die in the past six months. ”

These words attracted Zhu Qiyu's attention: "Why do you say this? ”

Ruan Xi replied: "Recently, the newly sealed concubines live together with the old concubines of the Emperor Taishang, and it is difficult for the two sides to get along peacefully. The so-called open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, and Queen Qian seems to be intentionally conniving, so the slaves and maids think that these princes and princesses will die young.

Especially the second prince and the third prince born to Concubine Wan Chen.

The second prince is only three years old, and the third prince is only two years old, which is the age when it is most likely to die. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Let's not participate, they can fight as much as they like." They must keep an eye on the palace, and there must be no more fires, and there can be no accidents such as stabbing or falling into wells.

In short, we must leave the responsibility clean and not set ourselves on fire.

As for what those stupid women did in the palace fight, it has nothing to do with us. ”

After that, Zhu Qiyu instructed Hao Yi again: "We can start secretly building the West Factory now, and you and Wang Qin are responsible for supervising the West Factory."

The east factory and the inner factory rely on Jinyiwei, and the west factory wants to dissociate itself from Jinyiwei, and I still don't trust Jinyiwei.

If you need manpower, you can draw it from Tiancewei.

Don't use the name of the West Factory for the time being, but you can already do the West Factory.

The West Factory is mainly used to collect intelligence and monitor the capital.

The matter of arresting and interrogating people that offends people is still left to Dongchang and Jinyiwei to do. ”

Hao Yi hurriedly received the order, and then asked for instructions: "Master, there has been some conflict between the Jinyi Guard and our Imperial Horse Supervisor in the defense of the Imperial City recently.

Lu Zhong and others of the Jinyi Guard said that from the Fengtian Temple area, all the way south to the Zhengyang Gate, this palace area and the concentration area of the Yamen such as the Six Divisions should be guarded by the Jinyi Guard, and they said that this was instructed by you personally.

Although there is no problem now, after the return of the Emperor Taishang, this area will be handed over to Jinyiwei to be in charge, and I am afraid that there will be some hidden dangers. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "That's right, I asked them to do this." Give them all, and hand them over to them together with Dong'anmen and Donghuamen.

The west side of our old palace has been bought and built into a military camp.

Originally, it was used for Yingzhou Wei, but now all Yingzhou Wei has been moved to Xinwangfu. That barracks will be transferred to the Tiance Wei garrison.

We have to intentionally or unintentionally give up the defense of the imperial city to a large part of Jinyiwei, otherwise there will be no one to rebel behind.

The Emperor Taishang's faction does not rebel, and I don't have much to do with them.

Therefore, it is necessary to create conditions for them to rebel.

At that time, I will take the opportunity to give the entire imperial city a complete purge. ”

Hao Yi reacted on the spot for a long time before he praised: "Master, this layout is really far-reaching, once the descendants of the Emperor Taishang rebel, then our whole situation will be completely opened." There will be too much chess to play then. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Qiyu also remembered one thing, so he instructed Hao Yi: "You are idle and go to inspect outside Xizhi Gate to see how the altar of the fallen soldiers of Jingguantai and Tumubao is built."

When the emperor returns to Beijing, he must first formally perform the Zen concession ceremony outside the Xizhi Gate, and then the Emperor Taishang will retreat to the emperor Gongrang, so that I can allow him to enter the city.

Also, I'm afraid that hundreds of warriors will be sent to guard the Emperor all the way. You study how to arrange these warriors outside the Xizhi Gate, don't let them lose control of their emotions after seeing Jingguan, and they will riot and kill, especially don't hurt the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty to Wara to meet the emperor. ”

Hao Yi's brain turned several times, and then he nodded again and again: "The slave understands, make sure to handle this matter properly, don't worry, master." ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he sat up and smiled at the two of them: "You are all my confidants, and I won't give you a false set of official wishes."

Go back and do your job, and if you are really unsure, come back to me and ask me, and you can decide most of the things yourself.

I have to go home and get down to business, have a few more children, and stabilize people's hearts completely. “
