Qianxue asked curiously, "Tong Son-in-law?" Is our son so pitiful? ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Don't let us go, then this son will be someone else's." Married a daughter-in-law and forgot your mother, haven't you heard this wise saying? ”

Qianxue continued to ask: "That's not right, can Wenchen allow our son to marry the daughter of the prince?" Aren't the last three emperors all married daughters of small families?

Make the daughter of a prince of the country to be the future queen, can the civil officials agree? ”

Zhu Qiyu swayed back and forth while holding Mu Cong, and said with a smile: "When I ascended the throne, I was guarding against this day." Otherwise, why do I have to elevate myself from King Yu to King Qi when I am about to become emperor?

I have long thought that even if I become an emperor, I must retain my status as a prince, and there will be unexpected conveniences in doing many things.

That's why I insisted on elevating myself to the king of Qi, so as not to use the inferior and undignified king title of King Yu all day long, and disgust myself from time to time. ”

"What does it have to do with being the king of Qi and our son marrying the daughter of the prince of the country?"

"Our eldest son Zhu Wenfang is the next King of Qi, and Xu Xian is the next Duke of Anguo. The prince marries the daughter of the prince, there are countless precedents in the Ming Dynasty, why should Wenchen oppose it?

The prince married the daughter of the prince, and the ministers objected, and there were some reasons.

But the problem is that I said that our eldest son is the crown prince, and the ministers don't recognize it.

Then I can't help it, you don't recognize him as the crown prince, only recognize him as the prince's son, so why don't you allow him to marry the daughter of the prince? ”

Qianxue frowned and pondered: "Yes, you are wrapping the ministers in, the ministers do not recognize Zhu Wenfang as the prince, then we should do what we should do, the advantage is that Wenchen has no position to take care of the family affairs of our Qi Palace."

Even if Wen Chen said that the prince of Qi needs the participation of the imperial court, then according to the imperial court system, the marriage of the imperial prince and the clan should be made by our mother and the concubine Xuanyi, who is in charge of the seal of the queen mother, and this will go back again.

Poor ministers, how can you stand up to an emperor like a husband who walks a hundred steps and digs fifty pits, it's really a miserable fate. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "It's not that easy, they will dig a pit for me." The biggest problem now is that there are simply not enough ministers loyal to me.

The struggle with Wenchen is not as simple as you think, forget it, it's annoying, let's take a nap first. ”

Qian Xue took Mu Cong from Zhu Qiyu's hand: "Husband, take Feng'er and Ning Xiang to sleep in Qingliang Palace." Xi'er and I are here to grind for my husband. ”

Zhu Qiyu made a big move, and left with the two little concubines.

But in the afternoon, it was still crowded with people outside the Daming Gate.

Just when the onlookers were talking and arguing, a team of officers and soldiers, escorting a group of eunuchs, came to the square in front of Daming Gate.

Between the newly renovated outer city of Beijing and the inner city, there are three city gates: Chongwen Gate, Xuanwu Gate, and Zhengyang Gate.

The people of the outer city entered the inner city from the Zhengyang Gate, and walked a hundred steps north after the Zhengyang Gate, which is the Daming Gate.

However, ordinary people can't enter the Daming Gate, and behind the Daming Gate are the six ministries, the Governor's Mansion and other official offices. The people could only run along the street outside the Daming Gate.

It is precisely because the street called Qipan Street outside the Daming Gate is a traffic artery connecting the inner and outer cities, so there is an endless stream of pedestrians, and it is very lively.

At this time, Yang Xun, who asked for Yuan Bin's life, was still kneeling outside the Daming Gate. This wave has not settled, and it has risen again and again.

A group of eunuchs were brought over, and the executioner directly slashed and killed, and in a short time there were only two eunuchs left.

All the attention of the people was drawn to the past.

Killing people outside the Daming Gate is too rare. And it's easy to understand that you killed a group, but you left two, why is that?

At this time, the prison official announced loudly: "These two are Jin Ying and Xing'an, the former great eunuchs of the inner court, because they instigated Gong to let the emperor rebel and intended to harm the current saint, so after the trial of the three legal divisions, they were sentenced to Ling Chi for the crime of treason.

The execution lasted three days, and those who needed to buy their meat could prepare coins, and the latest rule was that only the newly minted silver and copper coins of the Jingtai Dynasty would be accepted. ”

When the people heard this, they did not show the enthusiasm they had when they watched Ling Chi before, but were stunned.

The crime of these two great eunuchs is to incite Gong to let the emperor rebel, but Gong let the emperor rebel? It's still a little hard to accept.

Besides, the people didn't want to buy the meat of the two old eunuchs so much.

But whatever the people thought, the execution began immediately.

Yang Xun knelt there awkwardly, unable to go up or down, in a dilemma: get up and go home directly, and come back tomorrow? Ling Chi will continue tomorrow, and no one will pay attention to him when he comes to kneel.

Come back the day after tomorrow? On the last day after tomorrow, no one paid attention to kneeling.

One drum, then drums and decline, three drums and exhaustion.

Once you get up and go home for two days to rest, this is discouraged, and it will be difficult to get together again.

Gritting his teeth, Yang Xun chose to bite the bullet and kneel there alone.

Until the evening, it was Li who came to deliver the meal: "Husband, let's eat a little first, the concubine made your favorite braised pork, as well as fish soup." ”

Yang Xun replied angrily: "What braised pork, you look at the two eunuchs in front of me who were cut piece by piece, and now I am a little disgusted when I mention braised pork."

Besides, I'm here to petition, and I'm on my knees eating and drinking. Hurry up and take it back, the saint will not receive me in person for a day, and I will not get up for a day, let alone eat. ”

After another moment, the officials of the six ministries and other offices walked out of the Daming Gate one after another.

In this situation, the officials were also very helpless. a little lacquerer, kneeling there and insisting on meeting the saint; Two great eunuchs who were once beautiful were subjected to Ling Chi's punishment there.

The only thing in common is that they are all related to the follow-up of the Emperor Gongrang's rebellion.

No one knows how far the emperor will have to deal with it before he will give up.

Most of the ministers did not participate deeply in the mutiny, or even did not participate in it at all, so the sense of crisis was not great. The generals and nobles are different.

Represented by Gu Xingzu, Marquis of Zhenyuan, and Song Jie, Marquis of Xiping, who survived the mutiny, they can be described as tangled and abnormal.

Now the biggest problem facing the old nobles is that they can't reach a reconciliation with the emperor.

For a month after the mutiny, the emperor never expressed any intention of reconciling with the old nobles.

As for the military generals, the original Beijing Shangzhiwei was all driven to Nanjing to sit on the cold bench, not to mention reconciliation, the emperor's meaning is very clear: that is, to lay you off, if you have the ability, you will rebel.

The emperor was a little embarrassed in this way, and the soldiers of the Shangzhi Guard went to Nanjing, but the family members had not completely moved over, so it was not easy to build.

Moreover, Shi Heng took the 15,000 soldiers of the Beijing Battalion who mutinied, and even if he was killed, his family members were all exiled to Nu'er Gandusi, which was not a good place.

The emperor launched a ruthless attack, so fierce that no one dared to resist.

Gu Xingzu and Song Jie, the two marquises, regretted it the most, when the emperor first took power, he once came to the door in person to win over, but neither of them cherished it.

Hey, look at Xu Yongning, who was only ten years old at the time, but he had a unique vision, and he was a sycophant, and he was pretending to be pitiful, and the emperor who coaxed was very caring, and the sympathy of the three princesses was overflowing.

What's even more infuriating is that Li Xuan has risen to prominence directly, from a young offspring with no official or position, to Cao Guogong, who is in charge of a military town.

Gu Xingzu and Song Jie looked at each other, looked at each other, and took a look, everyone was a thorn in the emperor's eyes and a thorn in the flesh.

In desperation, Gu Xingzu took Song Jie to pick up Tianlou to borrow wine to kill his sorrows.

……

On the third day of August, Nanjing garrisoned the yamen.

Due to the delay in reaching a consensus on disarmament, Xu Qi could not do anything serious, so he could only continue to argue with Yuan Cheng.

As for when the quarrel will be the end, Xu Qi has no bottom in his heart.

There is no other way but to cover your head and continue to argue.

But when it was close to noon, a little eunuch came in outside and muttered in Yuan Cheng's ear.

Yuan Cheng nodded again and again when he heard this, and his eyebrows were happy.

After the little eunuch went down, Xu Qi hurriedly asked, "Duke Yuan, but does the Holy Lord have any instructions?" ”

Yuan Cheng said with a smile: "The Holy Lord has sent two more ministers and two nobles to cooperate with you and me to garrison Nanjing. When they came, the Holy One must have made detailed arrangements, so we don't have to argue now. ”

When Xu Qi heard this, his brows furrowed: No wonder Yuan Cheng was so happy, the emperor sent two ministers and two nobles, but he did not send eunuchs, which showed his trust and reliance on Yuan Cheng.

I was unlucky on my side, and I don't know who the two ministers who came were, and who the two nobles were.

If it is the descendant of the emperor's lineage, then wait to be punished.
