Queen Qian was originally full of confidence in sending these beautiful concubines away, but now she was poured a basin of cold water on Zhu Qizhen's head, and she sobered up in an instant.

After a woman gets married, she must regard her husband as the sky, not to mention that her husband is the emperor.

Zhu Qizhen now insists on keeping these sixteen concubines, and Queen Qian has no way to change this decision.

And according to the etiquette law, concubines can indeed be given away.

Zhu Qizhen saw that Queen Qian frowned and didn't speak, so he continued to instruct: "You pay more attention to Jianshen on weekdays, although I don't like him, and I don't want to make him the crown prince."

But now that the wood is in the boat, you and I must accept this reality.

Even if you give birth to a son in the future, it is impossible for the court to change your son to the crown prince.

If Jianshen dies early, or makes a mistake and is deposed, then the person who succeeds him as the prince can only be the son of his younger brother, you must understand this. ”

Hearing this, Queen Qian's tears almost fell out of anger. This is really humiliating, I am obviously the main wife of my wife, even if I give birth to a son-in-law, I have to give way to the concubine's son.

That's not what the Emperor Ming Zu Xun says, why did things develop to the situation they are today.

Queen Qian glanced at Zhu Qizhen faintly, and secretly complained in her heart: The queen mother was also born as a concubine, and her husband was also a concubine when he was born. Now they all claim to be descendants.

In the future, if Zhu Jianshen becomes the emperor, it won't be long before he will be orthodox.

But it's clear that she's the wife of the main house. I can finally empathize with the pain of Empress Hu back then. Empress Hu also has the current emperor behind her to continue the incense. If I die and have no children and no daughters, I'm afraid I won't be as good as Queen Hu.

Zhu Qizhen knew that Empress Qian was definitely reluctant, but he did not notice the change in Empress Qian's inner thoughts.

didn't even notice that now it has become a situation where Queen Qian and Queen Zhou both ask for Zhu Qiyu.

The queen's status of the Zhou family did not come from Empress Dowager Sun, nor from Zhu Qizhen. According to the etiquette law, even if his biological son becomes the crown prince, the position of the queen still belongs only to the emperor's wife and the prince's mother, Empress Qian.

It was Zhu Qiyu who took advantage of the chaos when the Tumubao Incident first happened, everyone was busy resisting Wara, and no one was too entangled in these details, so he took the opportunity to crown Zhou as the queen in the name of his mother and son.

Empress Dowager Sun, Zhu Qizhen, and even most civil and military officials were unwilling to recognize Empress Zhou from the bottom of their hearts. It was only because of the prince that he couldn't bear to say anything.

After all, the position of the crown prince Zhu Jianshen is already very embarrassing, and if he strikes at the status of his biological mother, is this for fear that the emperor will not change the prince.

So now the Zhou family can only choose to continue to stay close to the emperor, in order to have a satisfactory ending in the future.

The Qian family needs to rely on the emperor because Zhu Qiyu is engaged in the dispute between the concubines, which is completely contrary to the common people's perception: Zhu Qiyu is also firmly supporting the etiquette and the elder system.

After lunch, Zhu Qizhen summoned Jin Ying, Xing'an, Chen Xiang, and Cao Jixiang, and took a few people to turn around the Nangong inside and out, and rearranged it.

Zhu Qizhen found that the truth was as his brother said, he could summon his cronies, or he could arrange them in the Nangong at will. So I felt a little at ease, and I was relieved to have fun with the concubines in the South Palace.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhu Qizhen got up early, took Queen Qian, accompanied by Xing'an, Jin Ying and others, went out of the South Palace, entered the Donghua Gate, passed through the Wenhua Hall and the cabinet area, and went to the Yinghua Hall to greet the Empress Dowager Sun.

The trip was unimpeded, and Zhu Qizhen finally confirmed that he could indeed move freely in the imperial city. His younger brother is really generous enough.

In fact, Zhu Qizhen didn't understand his brother's strategy too much.

The strategy chosen by Zhu Qiyu was to ban Empress Dowager Sun and let Zhu Qizhen go in order to facilitate his actions in the future.

……

But it was almost noon, and Zhu Qiyu dressed up leisurely and came to Qingyun Pavilion to listen to the government.

Since he only rushed home yesterday evening, and he tossed with the two little concubines several times along the way, Zhu Qiyu had nothing to say, just crooked on the soft couch to listen to the ministers' speeches.

At the first court meeting after Gong let the emperor return to Beijing and officially let Chan Rang, people came very neatly.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the ministers and wanted to laugh, there were a total of four military secretaries in front of him, which was really a bit weird.

However, what Zhu Qiyu didn't expect was that the first thing at the opening was that Yu Qianqian, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, knelt down to plead guilty, and submitted his resignation, asking Zhishi to return to his hometown.

Before Zhu Qiyu could react, Wang Wen, Jiang Yuan and others looked at each other deeply, and they were quite surprised: No wonder the emperor refused to hand over the reprimanded 'Meicha' to his cronies, everyone thought it was a 'Meicha', but as a result, Yu Qian was talking on the stage, and the Wara delegation rioted directly under the stage.

Not to mention the two thousand Jinyi guards who were killed and wounded, four ministers alone died: Hu Hui, Chen Yi, Li Xian, and Li Shi. This is not a small responsibility.

Zhu Qiyu was still responsible, ordered Chen Xun and Wang Wen to help Yu Qian get up, and then explained to everyone with a sad face: "The riot of the Wara Mission was unexpected by everyone. No one wants to see such a catastrophe happen. This can't be blamed on Aiqing, nor can it be blamed on Jinyiwei.

If I have to say that there is a mistake, it is because I am not thoughtful. Originally, I wanted to order Boyan Timur to lead an envoy to Beijing and officially resume the tribute, so as to establish the grassland pattern of Boyan Timur, Totokh Buhua, and Ara.

Who would have thought that these Warat people would be barbaric and would really dare to use swords in front of the great emperor.

Poor Hu Laoshangshu, it is all my fault that he ended up like this, the cabinet drafted the decree, I want to make another edict against myself. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately knelt down again, and Chen Xun advised on behalf of everyone: "Everything Your Majesty has done is also for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, what is wrong."

If Your Majesty makes another edict against yourself, He An, a hundred civil and military officials, and He An, a subject of the world, please don't say this again. ”

Everyone also echoed and admonished in unison.

All the cronies of the Son of Heaven can no longer accept the emperor's edict.

The emperor has already issued two edicts before, and now he is coming, so what is the majesty of the emperor.

Governing the country is not a joke, how can it be said that if you are guilty of your own edict, you will be guilty of your own edict.

Zhu Qiyu didn't really want to make any edicts, he just wanted to find a step for everyone.

Now that there are steps, Zhu Qiyu no longer insisted, and ordered Hu Hu and others to be posthumously sealed, and the matter will pass.

Next, the monarch and ministers took the opportunity to discuss the distribution of powers and responsibilities of the military department.

At present, there are four scholars in the Ministry of War: Wang Ji and Luo Tong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Yu Qian and Xu Qi in the Ministry of War in Nanjing.

Among them, Luo Tong is a confidant of the Son of Heaven; Wang Ji is a close confidant of the emperor, but he has repeatedly shown favor to the emperor, and he is basically standing in line again.

Yu Qian and Xu Qi belong to the old ministers of Xuanzong.

Except for Xu Qi, the remaining three people have a big holiday with each other.

To be honest, Zhu Qiyu didn't want to forcibly assign rights and responsibilities to the four of them, so as to avoid the scene being too embarrassing.

So how do you solve it?
