As the date of Zhu Qizhen's return to Beijing is approaching, giving birth to a child has become Zhu Qiyu's most urgent job.

The number of children is related to the throne and inheritance and stability.

The strategy chosen by Zhu Qiyu was to stabilize the situation and then fight slowly with the emperor faction.

As long as there is the eldest son and many princes, his cronies can settle down. Then use the method of soft grinding and hard foaming and blunt knife to cut the flesh, slowly win people's hearts, and finally completely change the descendants and transfer the imperial lineage.

Although Xuanzong's brainless method of killing the whole family is the most effective, Zhu Qiyu doesn't plan to learn from it.

Killing the emperor's entire family and killing the prince's entire family should theoretically be qualitatively different.

It's easy to kill the entire family of the Emperor Taishang, but how to deal with the aftermath? How much of a backlash will it cause? How much of a hidden danger is left? It's hard to tell.

Zhu Qiyu still decided to suffer more and suffer a little more, leaving a refreshing and powerful empire to his children and grandchildren.

As for the Queen Mother, the Emperor Taishang, the Queen Taishang, and the Crown Prince, they can all die in life. In this way, the government and the opposition have nothing to say.

However, it is difficult to say what the destined lifespan of these people is.

After giving some instructions to the eunuchs who controlled the inner court, Zhu Qiyu went home to sleep.

Nothing was said for days.

On the first day of September, Shuncheonfu will try to release the list.

In this examination, the weight of Baguwen was greatly reduced, and Wang Yue, who was the first in strategy, was appointed by the emperor as Xie Yuan.

More than 1,000 people participated in the Shuntianfu examination, and in the end, only 121 people were selected.

These 121 people have gained fame and fame, and they have initially possessed the qualifications to be officials.

Some people were happy and some were sad, but to everyone's surprise, the emperor even announced the answer sheet for the first place.

This is another stone that stirs up a thousand waves.

First of all, Wang Yue himself is completely on the thief ship.

Based on the political stance expressed by Wang Yue in the answer sheet of the policy theory, he was rigidly branded as an imperial party, and he couldn't wash it off if he wanted to.

If the Emperor faction regains power in the future, Wang Yue will not want to be reused again for the rest of his life.

For Wang Yue, the other movers had to admire and have to bow down. This kind of courage to gamble on the future of a lifetime alone is beyond the reach of others.

All others think is that if they don't pass the test this time, it's a big deal to take the test next time.

And Wang Yue is a real chapter in an exam, or he will go to high school in one fell swoop, and he will soar in the future and become a Zaifu. Or go back to farming.

In the end, Wang Yue still won the bet.

No one could have imagined that when Jinzi not only wanted to deny the orthodox dynasty of Emperor Taishang, but also intended to carry out a thorough liquidation of the Xuande Dynasty of the first emperor.

But in this way, where does the legal principle of succession come from today?

The vast majority of people still can't figure it out, the emperor is obviously the emperor on behalf of the emperor and reigns over the world, and he denies the emperor, so can his legitimacy still be justified?

As for denying the first emperor, it will challenge people's cognition even more.

Throughout the ages, it was rare to see an emperor who denied his father.

Even Li Shimin openly killed his brother and took the heir, but he didn't take Li Yuan seriously.

There are very few people who can understand today's son. But Wang Yue is one of them.

Wang Yue guessed Zhu Qiyu's thoughts: Zhu Qiyu wanted to build his legitimacy on cultural and martial arts, rather than relying purely on bloodline.

As for why he had to deny Xuanzong, it was only because what Xuanzong did was too disgusting, which was really beyond the limit of Zhu Qiyu's patience.

But there is only one trace that can be endured, and Zhu Qiyu doesn't want to do anything to completely deny Xuanzong.

For this kind of thing, Wang Yue is optimistic.

The Ming Dynasty now needs to fight in the four directions of the southeast, the northwest, and the opportunity to make contributions will come.

Since Wang Ji sealed Jing Yuanbo, there are many civil officials who want to follow suit, especially the civil officials of the Shaozhuang faction, and quite a few people are eager to try.

The current situation is that important ministers such as Chen Xun, Wang Wen, and He Wenyuan are not very interested in pursuing titles. Talented and young Wenchen like Xu Youzhen, as well as young talents like Wang Yue, have a great interest in pursuing the title.

Bai Gui and Xiang Zhong, who are now in the military affairs of the counselor, are also strong contenders for the earl.

And there are cases of thousands of dollars buying horse bones in front of them, and the current emperor is under great pressure to give the legendary eunuch Liu Yongcheng the title of earl.

Eunuchs can be made earls, and Wang Yue deduced from this that the upper limit of the title of civil officials is definitely not only an earl. As the war deepens, it is entirely possible for a civil official to become a marquis.

Wang Yue's judgment was not wrong at all, Zhu Qiyu had already made up his mind, as long as Wang Ji was willing to come to his camp, he would give Wang Ji the title of marquis.

……

When the capital gradually returned to peace, the 100,000 imperial army stationed in Gansu had already been sharpened and sharpened.

The yamen of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division was turned into Wang Ji's temporary Chinese army.

Wang Ji sat in Ganzhou, mobilized the army in an orderly manner, and was ready to attack the whole army at any time, go deep into the grassland, defeat the remnants of the first in one fell swoop, and welcome the emperor back to Beijing.

As for the return of the Emperor Taishang, do you want to support the restoration of the Emperor Taishang, and in the name of the Emperor Taishang, command 100,000 elite Ming troops to return to Beijing?

The answer is no, Wang Ji will not be so crazy.

The current situation is like this, you can sympathize with the emperor, or you can secretly express your disagreement with the emperor in your heart, but openly supporting the restoration of the emperor is fundamentally unpopular.

Even the elite of the 100,000 Ming Army, who had followed Wang Ji for many years, could not accept this logic.

The army openly supported the restoration of Emperor Taishang, which probably has not appeared in all dynasties.

What's more, Wang Ji is not the only one stationed in Ganzhou now.

Li Xuan, the Duke of Cao Guo, was appointed by the emperor as the protector of the Western Regions, guarding the local military officer of Gansu, and concurrently in charge of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division.

Li Xuan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, in addition to mobilizing 30,000 elites from various guards in Gansu to gather in Ganzhou, he also has 20,000 elites of the Ganliang border army drawn back by the emperor from the army of the Marquis of Ningyang.

Therefore, now Ganzhou has gathered a total of 150,000 troops: Wang Ji's 100,000 battle-hardened Jingying army, and Li Xuan's 50,000 elite Ganliang border army.

Later, among the nine border towns gradually formed by the Ming Dynasty, the border army of Gansu Town was the most courageous. Ganzhou, Suzhou, and Liangzhou have always produced elite soldiers.

Therefore, Li Xuan's 50,000 elite border troops are enough to control the situation.

Although Wang Ji had no intention of opposing the emperor at all, Zhu Qiyu still planned for the worst.

As for why 50,000 troops are enough to suppress 100,000 troops, it has to be attributed to the role of righteousness.

Wang Ji's 100,000 army, both old and young, did not want to openly oppose the emperor for no reason.

If Wang Ji directly pulls a banner and asks everyone to follow and support Emperor Taishang's restoration, 10,000 out of 100,000 people are willing to respond to Wang Ji, which can be regarded as Wang Ji's popularity is really good.

When Li Xuan's 50,000 troops suppressed 10,000 rebels, it would not be as simple as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
