Zhu Qiyu added: "Actually, I have been in a hurry for a long time, once I kill the Empress Dowager Sun, I will immediately start to rebuild Dongshengwei with all my might."

Dongshengwei can not only protect Datong, but also protect the east side of the Hetao; King Su was able to defend both the Hexi Corridor and the west side of the Hetao.

After protecting the Loop, I will relocate the people and go all out to develop the Loop.

Should I say it or not, give up Dong Shengwei's pot, this time it really can't be all buckled on Xuanzong's head. The main responsibility for this is Emperor Taizong.

After the success of Taizong's Jingnan, he was too suspicious of the army on the frontier, especially the internal relocation of Dongshengwei, and refused to reinstate.

Later, Ren, Xuan, and Orthodoxy also began to persistently raise the bar, they knew the importance of Dong Shengwei, but no matter how the military generals of Wenchen requested, they refused to restore Dong Shengwei.

In the end, the orthodox emperor sought benevolence and succeeded in realizing the northern hunt in Warat.

If Dong Shengwei was still there, it would have been impossible for him to quietly lead the main cavalry force to infiltrate Datong and set up an ambush. Therefore, the eldest brother Gong let the emperor come to this day, purely deserved, no wonder others. ”

Lin Xiangyu nodded thoughtfully: "This is the hidden danger left by Taizong's rebellion, Taizong and the three emperors behind him are too suspicious of the vassal king and the frontier army, causing them to rather give up control of the frontier than weaken the frontier army." ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "That's true, the borders of the Ming Dynasty are all messes, and there is no good place." In my twenty years in power, I have to wipe their butts with all of them, so can you blame me for cursing Xuanzong, I don't want to scold them, but they have to do something about it.

I couldn't think about it first, led tens of thousands of cavalry, and ran to Datong in one fell swoop, unimpeded and silent, just like I came to visit the mountains and rivers. Who caused this, and I scolded those bastards for having a problem.

Alright, send the will quickly. ”

……

In the afternoon, Chen Xiang took the notebook and returned to Nangong to report to Zhu Qizhen.

Seeing that the recall of Mao Zhong was approved, Zhu Qizhen was surprised: "Doesn't my brother know that Mao Zhong was picked up by me?" He actually approved it!

Could it be that his younger brother is really sick and can't get up, and his favorite concubines are handling government affairs for him? Otherwise, it shouldn't be so weird.

Then he went back and instructed the minister to play, and proposed to recall Shi Heng, Sun Bo, and Liu Yongcheng to the capital to see how his younger brother reacted. ”

Chen Xiang received the order, and handed over the emperor's edict on Yang Shiqi's treatment, Zhu Qizhen read it, and praised it repeatedly: "You deserve it, you deserve it, you should dig up Yang Shiqi's grave."

If it weren't for Yang Shiqi, I would be where I am today? It is difficult to solve the hatred in my heart by crushing his bones and scattering ashes, but it is too cheap to dig up the grave and bury it. ”

Chen Xiang boldly replied: "Separate him from his most beloved person, but bury him with his disgusted original partner." People who love each other can't die in the same hole, and if there is knowledge under the spring, it is the greatest pain. ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded: "That's right, it's still my brother who is ruthless enough." I only killed one son, Yang Shiqi, and compared with my younger brother, it was still too gentle.

When I was in power, I had too many scruples, and if my brother was so fierce and strong, how could I get to where I am today. ”

After saying that, Zhu Qizhen shook his head again: "Look at this edict, it is obviously the handiwork of my younger brother." So is he sick or not?

Is there really no way to put eyeliner and peek into my brother's bedroom? ”

Chen Xiang shook his head firmly: "There is really no way, the emperor spent a lot of effort to build the city wall and surrounded the entire Yuquan Mountain.

Although the emperor called it the Lingyu Palace, it was not the palace wall that was built, but the city wall.

The city wall is about two zhang high, ten miles in circumference, and there are only two gates in the east and south. Each gate was guarded by 100 guards, and 300 guards patrolled the walls.

Except for the emperor himself, and fifteen favorite concubines, no one was allowed to enter. Even Concubine Wu never entered, let alone others.

In the past, there were two little girls who could go in and out to deliver messages, but now they have also been stopped by the emperor.

The palace gate guards, with the special authorization of the emperor, trespassers in the palace without authorization, first cut and then play, and kill them.

So there is really no way, unless a large army is sent to attack, it is really impossible to enter. ”

Zhu Qizhen shook his head and was puzzled: "Isn't it good that the Forbidden City is splendid, why does my brother have to live in the suburbs?" I don't believe that the western suburbs can be safer than the Forbidden City? Could it be more comfortable than living in the Forbidden City?

Besides, there is the West Garden in the west of the Forbidden City, which is even more beautiful, and it is worse than Yuquan Mountain. I don't understand, I really don't understand. ”

Chen Xiang said with a smile: "Maybe it's because the emperor hasn't lived in the palace since he was a child, the slave maid heard Gao Ping say that the queen mother often regrets it, saying that the emperor was thrown outside the palace when he was a child and raised a wild child, so he can't recognize the beauty of the Forbidden City."

If she had known this, the Queen Mother would have brought the emperor into the palace to edify and reform. ”

Zhu Qizhen sighed helplessly, his mother is a child, his original wife is a child, and his prince's biological mother is also a child.

The family is small.

His mother is jealous, and she is so jealous that the concubines in the palace can't give birth to a child, and she has to force her father to go outside the palace to give birth secretly.

Queen Qian is not jealous, but she has no talent for being in charge of the family.

A wife in the main room who has absolutely no controversy, and the housekeeper is in charge, and she was directly blinded and lame by the servants who served her. This housekeeper ability is simply a wonder among wonders.

There is also a Queen Zhou, who has the ability to be a housekeeper, but she has returned to the path of jealousy.

The more Zhu Qizhen thought about it, the more angry he became, and asked Chen Xiang angrily: "My younger brother has fifteen favorite concubines, and I heard that these favorite concubines don't have a clear distinction between the elder and the younger, don't they fight among themselves?"

Their backgrounds are much worse than the Queen Mother and the two queens, aren't they petty family?

Why I haven't heard of a fire in my brother's backyard, I'm not convinced.

He has twelve favorite concubines who have been pregnant one after another, and none of them have been drugged and aborted? ”

Chen Xiang didn't dare to hurt his emperor's feelings too much, so he had to reply weakly: "There is a rumor in the market that I heard that the emperor invented a word called 'harem egalitarianism'.

is that the position and treatment of all favorite concubines are exactly the same. The monthly money is three thousand taels, and the control of the inner treasury of the palace is the same, and the right to decide on general affairs is also the same.

And what you want to buy, what you want, the emperor will respond, as long as the favorite concubine speaks, the emperor will definitely agree.

The favorite concubines are princes when they give birth to sons, and they are princesses when they give birth to daughters.

Therefore, the emperor's favorite concubines feel that there is really nothing to fight, and they all grew up together since childhood and have a deep relationship, so there is no conflict. ”

Zhu Qizhen asked curiously, "What does it mean to have three thousand taels of money a month?" ”

Chen Xiang replied: "That is, the emperor gives each favorite concubine 3,000 taels of silver every month as private money, which is at the discretion of the favorite concubines. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he stroked his forehead with his hand: "It's really evil, how many times is the money higher than the queen this month, no wonder my brother's favorite concubines don't fight infighting."

Every favorite concubine has been topped by ten queens, so what are you fighting?

It's just that I want to know, where did my brother get so much money? ”

"Emperor Qi, this is all the huge wealth obtained by the emperor from confiscating Wang Zhen, Jin Ying and other eunuchs."

"What a Zhu Qiyu, generous to others, thanks to him."

Thinking that the family property of his trusted eunuchs had been squandered by his younger brother, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

At the same time, Empress Dowager Sun had already smashed things in her palace.

Gao Ping, the head of the Yinghua Palace, as the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen, can always report the situation to the queen mother in a timely manner.

Regarding Yang Shiqi being ordered by the emperor to dig up the grave and re-bury with Yuan's wife, Empress Dowager Sun's reaction was completely different from Zhu Qizhen's.

Empress Dowager Sun was so angry that she trembled.

With a little brain, you can see that the emperor is pursuing Yang Shiqi on the surface, but in fact, he is killing chickens to show monkeys.

The implication was simple: the emperor threatened to move Empress Hu to Jingling and bury her with the Xuan Temple. Yuan is married to husband and wife, and buried together, which is in line with the etiquette law.

From the position of concubine, the Empress Dowager Sun, who ascended to the queen's throne by killing his wife with a concubine, stripped the queen's title, restored the status of a concubine, and was not allowed to be buried with Xuanmiao after death.

The emperor is no longer a hint, it is more accurate to say it explicitly.

This is the first time since Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne that Empress Dowager Sun has collapsed. Because Zhu Qiyu is not joking this time, the holy decree is issued today, and tomorrow it will be known to everyone in the government and the opposition, and the city will be full of wind and rain.

The real picture is poor dagger, both sides are dead and alive, and there is no turning back.

In the eyes of Empress Dowager Sun, as long as Zhu Qiyu is on the throne, her identity as Empress Xuanzong will definitely be deprived, and she will not be buried in Jingling.

If you want to change your life against the sky, you can only change the emperor.

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the emperor who created the problem.
