Yu Qian replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, it is the current right attendant Shen Yi of the household department. Shen Yi was the head of the household at the time, and he thought that burning the grain before seeing the enemy was to weaken himself.

Therefore, he ordered people to falsely burn rotten grass and cover the sky with smoke. When Warat's probe saw it, he galloped first.

He also thought that all the grain in Tongzhou was burned, so he changed his strategy, and after the victory at Tumubao, he did not rush to attack the Beijing Division.

And Shen Yi calmly transported Tongzhou Tun grain into Beijing. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded and praised: "Shen Yi is not surprised, and he responds calmly; Thinking for the long-term of the country, regardless of personal favor, this is the loyalty of the country.

Shen Yi preserved the grain and grass and delayed the attack of Warat, which made such a great achievement, but he was not famous.

Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, and this is also true.

Shen Yi is casual and open-minded, and does not take his own work. It's a virtue, but I can't ignore the reward and punishment.

The cabinet is drafting, Shen Yi is promoted to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and is in charge of the ministry.

As for Chen Gelao, he was reappointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Only then did everyone understand, and it turned out that the emperor was waiting here.

In this way, it can be summarized as follows: Hubu Shangshu is Shen Yi and Liu Zhongfu; The Ministry of Rites is still Chen Xun, Yu Shiyue, and Zou Gan.

In this way, it is obvious that there are now three Shangshu in the Ministry of Rites.

Unless the emperor wants to make a third Shangshu after a second Shangshu, one of Chen Xun, Yu Shiyue, and Zou Gan will have a change in position.

Yu Shiyue and Zou Gan have not recruited the emperor recently, and I am afraid that the prospects are not too good.

No matter what everyone thought, Zhu Qiyu was tired anyway, so he waved his hand: Let's disperse.

In fact, everyone still has something to do, but the atmosphere today is really not good, so it will be dispersed.

Zhu Qiyu returned home, fell on the bed, and couldn't stop sighing.

Lin Xiangyu leaned over and asked, "What's the matter, our Majesty the Great Emperor Jingtai has been bullied again?" ”

"Hey, I didn't eat too much, but I was tired of fighting wits and courage with these bastards all day long.

I adjusted the Household Department Shoshu and the Rite Department Shoshu. Chen Xun was transferred to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Shen Yi was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Households.

This Shen Yi has been in the household department for a long time, and he is a good hand at managing money, grain, and finance. And he is honest and honest, has a big picture, and is a good candidate, I didn't pay much attention to him before. ”

"The husband is wise and discerning, and he is naturally right. It's just that Chen Ge was good before, wasn't it? ”

"Well, I can't say it. He is suitable to play the role of an intermediary who reconciles the parties, and the position of the Shoshu of the Ministry of Rites suits him.

really let him follow me with all his heart, to fight to the death with Emperor Gongrang, but he really refused to do it.

Besides, he is seventy years old, so there is no need to be difficult for him anymore, let him be a pure cabinet minister in the future, and be responsible for the mud. As for the Book of Rites, it is just a name and a bit of decency. ”

Lin Xiangyu nodded, and asked again, "Gong let the emperor and the crown prince feel better?" Shall we send something over? Otherwise, it would be too rude not to visit or condole. ”

"I have ordered the celebrant to send the prince a jade ruyi, and rewarded Queen Qian, Queen Zhou, and a number of silver and brocade from the palace concubines.

So be it, don't give it any more, especially not food.

Otherwise, if you let the emperor, or the crown prince or prince eat what you sent, it won't be long before it's over, and the matter will be over.

Your life is over. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Qiyu immediately added: "In the future, we must keep a distance from Queen Zhou and the crown prince, and we must no longer have private contact, otherwise we can't say anything if something goes wrong."

And you will call Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, Zhang Yong, and Wang Qin tomorrow, and I will send them out to avoid the limelight.

Before leaving, I want to give them good instructions. ”

"Huh? Where is the husband going to send them? ”

"Wang Cheng, Zhang Yong, and Wang Qin sent to confiscate Sanyang's property. Shu Liang went to Xuanfu to serve as a town guard eunuch and supervise the military affairs of Xuanfu. ”

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "Then Jin Ying, Xing'an, Cao Jixiang and others must not be more powerful and take the opportunity to make waves?" Husband, is this afraid that they will not rebel? ”

Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "Jingshi is in the streets and alleys, and rumors have begun to spread, saying that I want to depose the prince and make your son the crown prince."

Up and down the government and the opposition, many officials and many ordinary people were agitated.

Just think about it, if Gong asked the emperor's family not to rebel, these things would be endless.

We have never been able to gain the upper hand in public opinion.

So this is the opposite, they are made.

Also, you don't want to go out again. None of you sisters should go out and about, in case someone jumps over the wall. ”

Lin Xiangyu nodded and agreed, and Zhu Qiyu asked again: "How much money do we have?" ”

"Didn't I copy Wang Zhenyu's party again, and the money was used to pay the three relatives, which was enough to support three years.

Our family's fertile land is rent-free for tenants for three years, so it won't generate any income this year.

We live on those shops on weekdays. Casinos, Qinglou and other industries have all been taken off, leaving some restaurants, grain stores, cloth shops and the like.

But I can't stand the number of stores, and the business is good, all of which have an annual income of more than one million taels.

Our sisters thought that in normal times, we just eat and drink, and buy some clothes and jewelry, and it will not cost 30,000 taels of silver every year.

So we don't want these monthly cases, save them for your husband to do big things. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "Don't worry, you are my big thing." ”

Lin Xiangyu also smiled: "Husband, you don't give our sisters so much silver, and we won't murder our husbands." As the saying goes, dogs don't think they're poor. Even if there are only a few handfuls of rice in the house, we sisters have to stick to our husbands and drink rice soup. ”

"Dogs? Rice water? Am I having a problem understanding, are you alluding to something? ”

Lin Xiangyu smiled, didn't say anything, just turned her head and lay on the bed.

Nothing was said all night.

In the next few days, in addition to meeting Xinke Jinshi, Zhu Qiyu was playing with the concubines at home, but he was also at ease.

As for the turbulent undercurrents in the capital and people's hearts, Zhu Qiyu ignored them and let them ferment.

……

But it was said that on April 15, in the Nangong, Zhu Qizhen reluctantly got up, and with the support of Xing'an, he went to wander in the garden.

Because the South Palace was built at the beginning, it was for the imperial grandson Zhu Zhanji to live. Therefore, Nangong can be regarded as the Forbidden City that is one size smaller.

Pavilions, pavilions, exotic flowers and plants, there is no shortage of everything.

The palace is also majestic and magnificent, and the weather is magnificent.

Zhu Qizhen sat down in a pavilion and asked Xing'an, "What are the major events in the palace recently?" ”

The emperor has been in office for a long time, and he always hopes to be able to dictate things and deal with military affairs between talking and laughing.

Recently, Zhu Qizhen always likes to ask what are the big things in the palace, Xing'an scratches his head every time, this palace is full of trivial affairs, how can there be so many big things.

But today is really different, Xing'an happily replied: "Emperor, there is really something big going on in the celebrant supervisor." Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, Zhang Yong, and Wang Qin, the four little eunuchs, left Beijing together. ”

"Leaving Beijing?"

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.

"It was to leave Beijing, Wang Cheng, Zhang Yong, and Wang Qin were sent to raid Sanyang's property, and Shu Liang was sent to guard the Xuanfu."

This amount of information is a bit large, and Zhu Qizhen is completely confused.

The first is to raid Sanyang's property, this is a bit crazy, right?

Zhu Qizhen confirmed to Xing'an: "The three Yangs you said refer to Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu, right?" ”

Xing'an replied: "This is natural, except for the three elders, who else can be called Sanyang." ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, his brows furrowed. His younger brother is really too fierce, when he was in power, he hated Sanyang like that, so he only killed Yang Shiqi's son, but now his younger brother is going to serve the pot.

Xing'an continued to report: "Emperor, a few days ago, the emperor held a small court meeting, and I heard that at the court meeting, not only the purge of Sanyang was established, but also the first emperor was faintly compared to Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter: "Is it true?" ”

"Emperor Qiqi, this is indeed the case. And the emperor also emphasized the sentence that Emperor Xuan of Han said: 'Those who mess with my family, the prince also!'" ’。 This not only negates the first emperor, but even alludes to you, the emperor.

Emperor, think about it, Emperor Yuan is the crown prince of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty; And you are the prince of Xuanmiao.

The Emperor is alluding to the failure of your personal conquest. ”

As he spoke, Xing'an burst into tears, knelt on the ground and cried: "The sage has a saying, the lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord is humiliated and the ministers are dead." The emperor is to protect my Ming Dynasty and Sheji, so he commanded the six divisions and personally conquered Wara.

The emperor has suffered so much for the sake of Daming, and it is okay if there is no sympathy, but he also ridicules the emperor, and the slaves and maids are unwilling for the emperor. ”

Zhu Qizhen looked around and hurriedly scolded: "Don't get up quickly, what do you look like when you cry." If it is seen by someone with a heart, report it to the emperor, and you will have your good fruit to eat. ”

When Xing'an heard this, he had to stand up.

Zhu Qizhen instructed again: "For the sake of today's plan, we must be patient with peace of mind, wait for the emperor to make a mistake, and never act rashly." Tell me more, why did the emperor send all the four most trusted eunuchs to Beijing on an errand? ”

Xing'an replied: "This slave knows that there have been rumors on the streets and alleys recently, and the emperor intends to depose the crown prince. Now it has made a lot of noise, and everyone knows it.

Public opinion is surging, and very few people support changing the crown prince.

Now Wang Cheng and others are also weak and isolated in the palace. In order to protect them, the emperor sent them out of Beijing to avoid the limelight temporarily. ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and asked again: "With my brother's ability, it doesn't look like he can't do anything about rumors?" ”

"Whether the emperor is indifferent to this, or helpless, this slave doesn't know."

Xing'an instinctively resisted believing in the emperor's strength.

Zhu Qizhen didn't want to praise his younger brother's outstanding ability all day long.

People tend to believe what they want to believe.

How many people spend their days thinking about things that make them unhappy but are powerless to change.

Rather than suffer the frustration of being powerless, it is better to deceive yourself.

……

The capital is in turmoil, and Shanxi is not calm.

In the yamen of the governor of Xuanfu, Li Bingzheng sat in the hall in a daze with a sad face.

Two other staff members sat at the bottom and accompanied Li Bing in a daze.

Just as everyone was looking at each other, the messenger suddenly sent a letter of worship.

Li Bing took a look and saw that he was applying for a staff member.

Li Bing has been recruiting staff for more than three months, but he has not been able to hire a suitable one.

Although the two current staff members are very knowledgeable and capable, they have long followed him, and they also lack understanding of the mess in Shanxi.

Therefore, Li Bing needs to recruit a few staff members who are familiar with Shanxi affairs.

The imagination is beautiful, the reality is cruel, and in three months, Li Bing has not even recruited a suitable staff.
