Since ascending the throne, Zhu Qiyu has been consciously or unintentionally ignoring the issue of the Wei State Mansion standing in line.

Regarding Wei Guogong's lineage, Zhu Qiyu did not try to win him over, nor did he deliberately reject it.

Mainly because Xu Da was the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, his eldest son inherited the title of Duke of Wei, and the third son and one line got the title of Duke of Dingguo.

One of the two countries is the first dignitary of the Ming Dynasty.

The Duke of Wei was entrenched in Nanjing, and the Duke of Dingguo moved to Beijing. The two veins complement each other and are deeply rooted. In particular, the Duke of Wei, as the head of Nanjing's nobles, has been standing as stable as Mount Tai from the founding of the country to the fall of the country.

Zhu Qiyu instinctively believed that the Wei Mansion had no interest in taking sides at all. And even if the Duke of Wei doesn't take care of himself as the acting emperor, it is impossible for him to have nothing to do, and it would be too undignified to run to the descendants of the first hero of the Ming Dynasty.

But now it seems that this is not the case. The Xu family seems to want to bind the Wei Mansion, the Dingguo Mansion, and the Qianguo Mansion together and board the emperor's chariot together.

Because the Duke of Wei itself and Zhu Qiyu had no personal friendship at all, the new Duke of Wei Xu Chengzong thought of using the Dingguo Mansion and the Qianguo Mansion as a springboard to move closer to the emperor.

The Duke of Wei was willing to join his emperor's camp, which really flattered Zhu Qiyu.

After a little weighing, Zhu Qiyu agreed to Mrs. Xu's request.

Next are the two sons of Princess Lin'an.

To be honest, since he had never been in contact with these two people, Zhu Qiyu was also a little scared. With Li Xuan's precedent of restoring the dukedom of Cao Guo in the past, Li Fang will not also want to regain the dukedom of Korea.

In fact, Li Fang really thinks this in his heart, he is the eldest grandson of Li Shanchang, the Duke of Korea, the son of Princess Lin'an, and the grandson of Emperor Taizu, and he is indeed qualified to inherit the title of Duke of Korea.

Moreover, when Li Shanchang's three clans were executed, there was indeed an element of being wronged.

Li Fang regretted this in her heart, the problem was that she had surrendered too late. When Zhu Qiyu first succeeded to the throne, few people were optimistic.

The nobles of Nanjing, in particular, generally had a negative attitude towards the new emperor.

The only exception is Li Xuan, Li Wenzhong's descendant.

No one thought that the new emperor would be so capable. Not only did he defeat Warat and keep the Ming Dynasty, but now he has even captured him alive, and he will be escorted to the capital in a short time.

Moreover, the new monarch was extremely bold and directly returned the title of Duke of Cao Guo to Li Xuan. even carried huge pressure to deny the public opinion of the entire Xuande court, and rehabilitated and reinstated the Marquis of Chengshan.

Li Fang can only regret it now that he broke his thigh, Li Xuan and Wang Tong belonged to the charcoal in the snow, so they got a huge reward from the emperor. No matter what he does now, it can only be the icing on the cake, the emperor doesn't appreciate it, it's all between the two.

Now Zhu Qiyu and Li Fang are beating wolves with hemp sticks, and they are scared at both ends.

Li Fang was afraid that the emperor would not be satisfied with the gift he gave, and Zhu Qiyu was afraid that Li Fang would make some non-centrific requests.

In order to win the emperor's favor, Li Fang and Li Mao brothers also fought hard and directly dedicated their rare treasures to the emperor.

"Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" was written by Wei Zheng, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, Ouyang Xun, one of the four masters of regular script, and engraved into a tablet by the imperial craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" is the first regular script in the world, or it is controversial. But if it is said to be the first four regular scripts in the world, there is absolutely no objection.

The authentic handwriting of Ouyang Xun has been lost to the world, but there are many rubbings of the Liquan inscription of Jiucheng Palace.

This time, Li Fang dedicated to the emperor is a Song Tuoben of "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" collected by his father, Li Qi, the commander of the horse.

Even Zhu Qiyu, who is not very proficient in calligraphy, was amazed again and again when he saw this book. Qianxue and Suxi, the two little girls who love to read and write, couldn't take their eyes off them immediately, and they came close to see it.

When Li Fang saw this, she knew that this gift was the right one.

Zhu Qiyu gently tasted the tea again and thought about it seriously for a while. This gift is not unacceptable, and the attitude of the nobles in Nanjing has begun to loosen, which is a good thing.

If they refused to accept the gifts, it discouraged their enthusiasm, wouldn't they force them to push them to the emperor?

Rallying as many people around yourself as possible, and then dealing with an enemy who is isolated, this is the strategy and tactics taught by whom.

And it just so happened that when the Qi Palace's palace was built, Zhu Qiyu built a new palace group in the location of the Ming Garden in the later world, which was used to collect books from all over the world, and recruited all kinds of talents to study various knowledge.

With the successful conclusion of the imperial examination, this palace is also about to be opened.

It happened that this palace did not have a name, so Li Fang sent "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming".

It's just called Jiucheng Palace, and it takes time to read and do learning. It just takes the meaning of "ninety percent of the platform, starting from the soil" in the "Tao Te Ching", which is also suitable for the occasion.

Zhu Qiyu instructed Li Fang and Li Mao to go back and wait for the official edict, so he accepted the generous gift and sent everyone away.

On the second day, Wang Wen, He Wenyuan and others came to Qingyun Pavilion early to wait for the court meeting.

The examination part of the imperial examination has been completed, and the next step is to review the examination papers and determine the ranking.

As for what the evaluation criteria are, the emperor still needs to give instructions himself.

Zhu Qiyu is always sober, although he has great authority, he is not willing to encroach too much on the power of the cabinet and the six ministries.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu still gave the cabinet and the six ministries the power to review the examination papers, and he would not read the papers in person, let alone comment on them one by one.

Wang Wen and others were quite surprised by this, and the emperor personally asked the question many times, and it seemed that he had a lot of intention to do it himself. Then when it came to the most important time to evaluate the ranking of the palace examination, the emperor completely delegated power.

But after thinking about it, Wang Wen and the others quickly came back to their senses. The emperor is paving the way for his own people again, and he is the main examiner and the marker, Wang Wen and others are the real teachers of these Jinshi.

After discussing the marking matter so simply, Wang Wen played again: "Your Majesty, news has come from the direction of Datong, and Elder Chen Ge has presided over the completion of preparations to welcome the Emperor Taishang into Beijing.

As for when the guard of honor will leave and when it will arrive in Beijing, please give me a hint. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "You can leave around March 25." On the morning of 1 April, the emperor's car arrived outside Xizhimen, and I personally led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to greet him.

In the morning, the welcoming ceremony was held, and at noon, the ministers were feasted in the Fengtian Gate to receive the wind and wash the dust for the emperor.

In the afternoon, I led a hundred officials to send the emperor into the South Palace. ”

Wang Wen asked again: "Outside the Xizhi Gate, the emperor first reads out the edict of sin, and then holds a Zen ceremony. After this is done, a ceremony is held to sacrifice the prisoners, and the binding is also carried out first, and the crime is condemned.

Dare to ask Your Majesty, which minister should be entrusted with the errand of affirming righteousness and counting the sins first? ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he shook his head helplessly, you are completely fighting a turnaround, and you will toss to death first.

Killing people is not enough. You don't kill, but you have to punish your heart.
