Queen Zhou only kowtowed and pleaded guilty: "The concubines are guilty, these concubines were selected by the concubines before Your Majesty's northern hunting, and the concubines were sent to Your Majesty to relieve your Majesty's fatigue."

The concubine is guilty of negligence, please deal with it heavily. ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded: "Forget it, you are also kind, get up and stand aside." ”

Empress Zhou thanked her and took one of her eunuchs and a palace maid to the side.

Queen Qian was a little stunned when she saw this, this Queen Zhou was a little too lacking in virtue. The news was revealed from Queen Zhou, and it was also Queen Zhou who came to her in a hurry and asked to break into the palace together.

As a result, Queen Zhou said lightly and pleaded guilty, and it was over?

Without waiting for Queen Qian to react, Zhu Qizhen began to reprimand Queen Qian.

From today's palace injunction, it can be traced back to the private bribery when the civil fort just happened.

didn't give Queen Qian a chance to speak, Zhu Qizhen reprimanded for half an hour, venting his dissatisfaction to the fullest.

Just as Zhu Qizhen was scolding, Xing'an hurriedly came in to report: "Emperor, the Queen Mother is here." ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he hurriedly tidied up his clothes and got out of bed to greet him.

However, as soon as Zhu Qizhen got off the ground and stood up, Empress Dowager Sun had already walked in.

The crowd hurriedly saluted again.

Zhu Qizhen was also very curious, according to the time, Empress Dowager Sun did not hear the news and came on purpose.

After lunch, the Queen Mother rushed to visit her.

The problem is that the uncle's daughter-in-law and daughter took Sun Ming into the palace, and the queen mother didn't take care of her relatives, so she ran to Nangong to do something?

After Empress Dowager Sun sat down, she scolded Zhu Qizhen, Queen Qian, and Queen Zhou, and each of the three parties played 20 boards.

After a meal of mud, the atmosphere eased a lot.

Just when Zhu Qizhen thought that the matter would pass like this, Empress Dowager Sun suddenly put forward her real appeal: "Emperor, now that the court is making a fuss about choosing a concubine for the emperor, you, as a brother, can't help but set an example."

Originally, everyone said that the emperor's woman was a demon concubine, but now your woman has also become a demon concubine.

In this way, the emperor has a handle in his hand and can openly fight back.

The stakes are very high, and the concubine after the election cannot be sideways.

Emperor, do big things without informality, give up your sixteen concubines. ”

"Xing'an, send off."

Zhu Qizhen glanced at everyone one by one and coldly put down such a sentence.

Da Ming is like this, the adult emperor starts a fire, and no one can help it.

Even if Zhu Qizhen has become Emperor Gongrang, due to the explicit authorization of his younger brother, Zhu Qizhen can completely decide the matters involving the harem in the imperial city.

Empress Dowager Sun, Empress Qian, and Empress Zhou are all 'guests' in Zhu Qizhen's mouth. Out of Chonghua Palace, Empress Dowager Sun called the two queens to go to the Yinghua Palace to discuss matters.

After the three left, Zhu Qizhen ordered Xing'an to gather all the eunuchs and palace maids together and interrogate them one by one.

In the South Palace, there are other people's spies and eyeliner everywhere, no matter what you do, if you make a little fuss, everyone will know it immediately.

It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

The entire Nangong was noisy until late at night.

Early the next morning, countless secret reports appeared at Zhu Qiyu's bedside.

Zhu Qiyu lay on the bed, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

A few favorite concubines followed along to read the secret report.

Qianxue asked curiously: "There is a pot of porridge in the imperial city, is this the handiwork of the husband again?" ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he immediately swore an oath: "The conscience of heaven and earth, this time it really has nothing to do with me, I really don't know anything."

Not to mention that the eldest brother Gong made the emperor completely confused, and I was completely confused.

There are too many accidents in political and palace fights, and those chess pieces may not be completely controlled by the chess players.

It is said that the horse walks the day, like the field, and when you really become a chess player, you will find that the chess pieces are all running around. ”

"And what happened yesterday, is it good for us?"

"Hmph, of course it's beneficial, marrying a wife is not virtuous and ruining three generations. My big brother will eventually have to be destroyed by his group of women. ”

Lin Xiangyu said: "Husband, look, yesterday Emperor Gong ordered the emperor to execute a large number of palace people, including Zhang Min, the little eunuch who had accused Shangshan Supervisor of poisoning the prince.

Did Empress Dowager Sun arrange for someone in Nangong to get rid of Zhang Min easily? ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "It's possible, I always feel that in the South Palace, there are still henchmen of the Empress Dowager Sun." ”

"How many cronies does Empress Dowager Sun have, and they haven't died yet?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "Oh, it's early." I have a bold idea, Xing'an is ostensibly the great companion of Emperor Gongrang, but in fact he is the confidant of Empress Dowager Sun.

In the past, Empress Dowager Sun and Gong Rang Emperor were filial to their mothers and sons, so it didn't matter who Xing'an was.

Now that the mother and son have a disagreement, Xing'an sometimes has to choose a position, so he has revealed his flaws. ”

The reason why Zhu Qiyu has such a bold speculation is that Xing'an in history is a double agent. It is to lead the easy storage for Jingtai, and to help imprison Nangong. As a result, on the eve of seizing the door, Xing'an suddenly turned back.

For such a person, he must be speculated with the greatest malice.

Asa Xue asked curiously, "The emperor's companion, can you also betray?" ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "According to common sense, it won't, but Xing'an was assigned to the eldest brother by the Empress Dowager Sun back then." The companion is very important, and the Empress Dowager Sun should not assign someone casually for no reason. ”

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "Husband, look at this again, Gao Ping took advantage of the turmoil in the palace yesterday and the Empress Dowager Sun to go to the South Palace, and ordered his henchman eunuch to leak the news that someone was going to assassinate the Marquis of Huichang to Sun Jizong's daughter.

Our little lady Ning Xiang is really a god, and her clever plan actually encircled the Sun family. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled and nodded: "As long as our family does not fight infighting, and the enemy does not fight, then we will definitely win in the end." Okay, let's not talk about them, let's take a look at the notebook. ”

Asa Xue hurriedly handed over the notebook.

First of all, there was news from Datong, Shanxi, that Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji and Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao led 50,000 Beijing troops to the south again.

Zhu Qiyu teased as he knocked on the notebook: "These two old foxes, when they see that the wind in the court is not in the right direction, they run faster than rabbits."

After Wang Ji finished conquering Luchuan, he left the local troops in Yunnan, Guizhou and other provinces, and went north with an army of 100,000 to pick up Emperor Gongrang.

Then the army rested and reorganized in Datong, and the elite of the border army was returned to the towns, and some of the old, weak, sick and disabled were eliminated, and finally 60,000 Beijing battalion troops remained.

Wang Ji and Chen Mao took away the most elite part of 50,000 and left 10,000 for my disposal. ”

Ning Xiang smiled: "Husband, don't talk about them like that, it's not normal for foxes to run faster than rabbits." ”

Zhu Qiyu laughed angrily at the bite of his little concubine: "I'm burying these ministers at both ends of the first rat, you little girl doesn't help me scold them, why are you still fighting with me about the fox and the rabbit, who is running away."

Does it matter if the fox runs fast or the rabbit runs fast?

Hey, Wang Ji left me 10,000 soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion who had experienced a hundred battles, and if I really transferred them back to the capital, the pressure would be quite great.

If they were raided, my 30,000 battalions of state guards might not have been able to beat them.

But if the soldiers of the 10,000-5 military camp were not transferred back, Empress Dowager Sun and Emperor Gongrang did not have the confidence to rebel. ”

Qianxue asked curiously, "Does the imperial army of the Ming Dynasty really dare to rebel?" How dare they brazenly attack the Emperor? ”

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Have you forgotten how Taizong sat on the throne?" There are only a few guards in Yanwangsan, how did they get to Nanjing?

Isn't it that a large number of imperial army are backing against the water?

Hundreds of thousands of imperial army were either left to rot there, or simply surrendered.

Speaking of which, we have to name the last Ming God of War before the emperor and our beloved Cao Guogong Li Jinglong. ”

Shaking his head, Zhu Qiyu added: "No, you can't learn Jianwen, let's be cautious." A great advantage, if you get rid of it, it will become a joke for the ages.

I still order An Guogong to retreat a little back from Shanxi with the Xiaocai battalion and go to garrison in Juyong Pass.

In this way, once the rebels attack the western suburbs, the 30,000 iron cavalry of the Xiaocai battalion can arrive within a day.

The officers and men of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion were mainly selected from the elite border troops of Shaanxi, Ningxia and Gansu.

No matter how many 10,000 people in the Fifth Army Battalion are in a hundred battles, they will be ruthlessly crushed by the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.

In this way, the situation is much more manageable. ”
