516 King Xiang submits and is optimistic about his success, referring to Sang scolding Emperor Huai for his prestige
Zhu Qiyu firmly held Zhu Zhan Feng: "Uncle Huang doesn't need to be polite, today we will only talk about uncles and nephews, regardless of monarchs and ministers." Has Uncle Huang's injury improved? ”
"With Lao Sheng's concern, the minister is almost well, and he is almost ready."
said that it was almost ready, but Zhu Zhan was dripping blood in his heart. Hiding in bed for so many days, Zhu Zhan Feng figured it out, and since he insisted on not recognizing Zhu Qiyu's throne, he has entered a dead game.
Why did everyone lose their minds a month ago and collectively follow Gong to make the emperor mutiny? That's because if you don't mutiny, you will still be cut by a blunt knife, and it will be more painful to watch the Queen Mother, Gongrang Emperor, and Crown Prince being killed one after another.
Bet on the mutiny, and there is still a chance to change your life against the sky.
From a tactical point of view, Zhu Zhandong did not regret launching the mutiny.
But from a strategic point of view, it was better to enjoy Changsha in a down-to-earth manner.
From the perspective of hindsight, no matter what the Emperor Gong did, there was no way to turn the tables. From the moment Xu Heng, the Marquis of Xing'an, abandoned Emperor Gongrang and switched to Zhu Qiyu, the ending was already doomed.
Shi Heng, Sun Bo, and Liu Yongcheng brought 15,000 elite soldiers into the capital, but they couldn't control the outcome of the mutiny.
All blame the 30,000 Shaanxi border troops of the cavalry battalion.
The most terrifying thing is the demonstration effect brought by Xu Heng's allegiance to Zhu Qiyu, and the Shenji Battalion and the four guards of the Imperial Horse Prison all fell to Zhu Qiyu, which made the situation completely impossible to clean up.
It wasn't until the last two days that Zhu Zhan Yuan figured out that Zhu Qiyu, the bastard, must have given Xu Heng a bargaining chip that he couldn't refuse: Zhu Qiyu promised to let Xu Heng's son Xu Xian be the national ruler in the future, let Xu Xian's daughter be the queen in the future, and let Xu Xian's grandson be the emperor in the future, which is probably the truth of the matter.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhan Yan secretly glanced at Zhu Qiyu, his nephew obviously did not have an orthodox imperial education, why was he so shrewd, among Wang Ji, Chen Mao, and Xu Heng, he decisively gave up Wang Ji and Chen Mao, who had greater fame and merit, and really went to Xu Heng.
Zhu Zhan has figured it out now, but it is obviously too late, Dongchang and Jinyi Wei surrounded their residences, and their words and deeds were under the supervision of the factory guards, and it was impossible to turn over. The only suspense is how Zhu Qiyu will deal with himself.
Seeing that his fifth uncle's face was cloudy, Zhu Qiyu asked with concern: "Can the palace people serve the imperial uncle with their hearts?"
A few days ago, a few slaves and maids were very neglectful of the queen mother in terms of meals, and the nephew had already punished them heavily.
What is wrong with the palace people, although the imperial uncle told his nephew that these dog slaves who are neither loyal to the king nor have a sense of awe can tolerate it. ”
Zhu Zhanyuan's face was choked by these words, although the word 'dog slave' in Zhu Qiyu's mouth was uncommon, but everyone could hear that it was scolding.
As for who is scolding? Who is the 'dog minion' who is neither loyal nor fearful?
Then you still need to ask, doesn't this mean that Sang scolded Huai, and pointed at the monk and scolded the bald donkey.
And Zhu Qiyu also used the title of 'Queen Mother' to Sun, isn't this just forcing himself to express his position?
Gritting his teeth hard, Zhu Zhan replied stubbornly: "The Sun family bewitched the first emperor, conspired to steal the son, and killed the Holy Queen, and his evil words and deeds were hated by everyone, and the palace people neglected the concubine of Xuanmiao, also out of righteous indignation, and the ministers thought it was blameless.
The Holy Emperor is the concubine of the first emperor and the Holy Empress, who could have taken revenge on the Sun family, but now he repays his grievances with virtue and raises the concubines of Xuanmiao with fine clothes and jade food, which is actually the holy lord of benevolence and friendship through the ages.
As for the palace people around the ministers, since they have been appointed by the Holy Lord to come to serve, how dare they disobey the holy decree and not have reverence?
The ministers and ghosts are obsessed with their minds and violate the laws of the country, and they should be put to death, which is the benevolence of the saints, and they will temporarily save their lives. ”
Zhu Qiyu turned his head to look at the ministers, and then said with a smile: "It's all over, the emperor and Xuanmiao are the same siblings, how can the nephew not care about the friendship of relatives."
At the beginning of the founding of Taizu, he spent huge manpower and material resources to build Fengyang Zhongdu, and his nephew thought that there was no reason to let Zhongdu be abandoned like this, wouldn't that be a waste of people's power.
King Qin and other relatives have been entrusted by their nephews to supervise the repair project of the central capital. The nephew wants the imperial uncle to go to the supervision of the capital after his injury is healed, but I don't know what the imperial uncle wants? ”
Zhu Zhan hurriedly replied: "Holy heaven, the minister dares to disobey his orders." When his injuries recovered, the minister immediately set off for Fengyang. ”
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Then there will be Uncle Lao, Uncle Huang, let's recuperate, if you need anything, just tell your subordinates." ”
After appeasing his relatives and uncles, Zhu Qiyu took the ministers out of the Chongzhi Palace, enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Taiye Pool all the way, and walked for half an hour before coming to the warehouse area on the northwest corner of the West Garden.
Along the way, the ministers had different thoughts, Wang Wen, He Yi and other emperors' henchmen were naturally unfazed, while Xue Xuan, Xiao Weizhen, Wang Yining and others were a little drumming in their hearts.
The emperor just now did not want to ridicule the original King Xiang, nor did he force King Xiang to be optimistic, but more purpose, or to show his authority to the ministers: You see, even the King Xiang, who looked down on me the most, honestly bowed his head and obediently became his king of Lecheng, why do you continue to raise the bar.
Xuanmiao's concubine conspired to steal the son, and even the most stubborn Zhu Zhanrong admitted it; Today's saint is the son of Xuanmiao, and Zhu Zhan also admitted it himself.
At this point, the closest and most stubborn clan relatives of the royal bloodline have been completely softened, and I am afraid that no one will openly defend the orthodox status of Emperor Gongrang in the future.
In this way, even if there are still important ministers in the court who are willing to give in to the emperor, they must restrain their thoughts that they should not have, at least not openly touch the emperor's mold on the issue of concubines.
Otherwise, it is easy to become the 'dog minion' in the emperor's mouth who is neither loyal to the monarch nor has a sense of awe.
The royal relatives are neither loyal to the monarch nor have a sense of awe, so they can bow their heads and make amends, and then go to Fengyang Zhongdu to live without worry.
But if the ministers are like this, the emperor will not have so many good faces.
Zhu Qiyu did not continue to entangle this issue unrelentingly, but entered the carrier warehouse with Wang Wen, He Yi and others.
As for Zhu Zhandong, he was severely injured in the mutiny, and he was fundamentally injured, and he would recuperate in Fengyang for three or five years at most, so it was almost time to go and sue the first emperor. At that time, the rebel son of the first emperor should have already brought back Annan, Jiugang, Luchuan, Jianzhou, and Nuergan.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu shook his head helplessly, it was really a great rebellion for him to go against the wish of the first emperor to abandon the land and seek peace.
While thinking about how to burn incense and repent in order to obtain Xuanmiao's forgiveness, while walking into the carrier warehouse, Zhu Qiyu suddenly heard the ministers around him exclaim in unison, and was startled.
Zhu Qiyu grabbed Wang Wen and asked curiously, "Okay, what's your name?" ”
Wang Wen replied excitedly: "Holy Lord, look at it, the entire treasury of gold and silver is all piled up." ”
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he looked around, good guy, the carrier warehouse was originally used to store yellow and white raw silk, but now it is occupied by the household department and is full of gold and silver.
Before the gold and silver could be wrapped, there were gold ingots, silver ingots, scattered silver taels, and all kinds of gold and silver objects, and they were piled up in rows and rows of shelves.
Zhu Qiyu had to turn his head and find Shen Yi, the head of the household.
Shen Yi hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Shengshang, there were too many nobles, generals, and civil servants who participated in the mutiny before.
Some of them were gold and silver that had been looted from Warat that year, and the ministers had stored all of them in the shipping warehouse.
What to do with this gold and silver, please also ask the Holy Majesty to show you. ”
Zhu Qiyu replied: "It was handed over to the Ministry of Industry to melt the coinage, part of which will be used to cope with next year's tax exemption and reduction, and part of it will be used as military spending."
After defeating Annan, it is necessary to give Annan tax exemption, and to vigorously build Annan to win the hearts of the people, which is also a lot of money.
Our two capitals and thirteen provinces have suffered disasters everywhere, either floods or civil uprisings, and we can only exempt those who should be exempt from taxes and those who should be reduced.
If you don't do tax exemption, you can't reduce taxes, otherwise if any province makes a million displaced people, history is like iron, and our monarchs and ministers will be tied to the pillar of shame. ”
