Zhu Qiyu was also very helpless, although he acted absurdly, the previous emperors often did some nonsensical things, resulting in the need to wipe their butts at every turn.

There is also Liu Qiu, who was thrown into the edict by Zhu Qizhen because of his opposition to the conquest of Luchuan, and was directly divided into his body by the lieutenant under Ma Shun in prison. In the end, his eldest son was easily going back and buried an arm.

When he arrived in the Jingtai Dynasty, many people wrote to ask for Liu Qiu's rehabilitation, but Zhu Qiyu refused to agree.

There are two problems here, one is that Liu Qiu opposed the conquest of Luchuan and firmly supported Xuanmiao's land shrinkage strategy. Not to mention that the orthodox emperor hated him so much that he gritted his teeth, even Emperor Jingtai was upset when he heard him.

And the most important point, not long after Liu Qiu was dismembered, Ma Shun's son died of illness, and the captain who was responsible for dividing Liu Qiu's body died violently.

Zhu Qiyu was extremely unhappy with this obvious act of revenge. If Liu Qiu is rehabilitated, everyone will follow the same example in the future, hold high the banner of Xuanmiao's abandoned land and run and shout, and dare to retaliate against Jinyiwei, then will I be the emperor in the future.

Even if I can suppress my ministers with military prestige, what about my son, my grandson? What do they do.

This problem can't be used to, and Liu Qiu's anti-epidemic must not be flat.

When Zhu Qiyu was thinking about the west, Lin Xian'er hurriedly ran in with a military report in her hand.

Seeing his concubine's panting appearance, Zhu Qiyu hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be in a hurry, concubine love, drink saliva first." ”

Lin Xian'er replied: "The six hundred miles from the direction of North Korea are urgent, and the military department has already dismantled it, and then it is urged to be delivered to you immediately." ”

Zhu Qiyu curiously took the military newspaper, read it from the beginning, and then smiled at Lin Xian'er: "It's nothing, the sky can't fall, you go back first, keep an eye on it for me, and see if there are any new military reports coming over in the future." ”

Lin Xian'er really listened, took a short break, and went back to Changle Palace to guard.

Now in Zhu Qiyu's heart, the fifteen concubines are divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower according to their affection. Some swearing words are reluctant to say it in front of the middle and lower class concubines.

When Xian'er walked away, Zhu Qiyu scolded: "All the 30,000 Liaodong troops have surrendered to North Korea, the prince of Shouyang has done a good job, these wastes that waste my precious food, let him take care of them for me."

It's better to raise it for me for the rest of my life, and I won't ask for it again anyway. ”

Lin Xiangyu asked worriedly: "Husband, don't just try to be happy, this Ming army has been defeated, isn't it even more rampant on the North Korean side?" ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Lao Tzu said that if you want to take it, you must take it." Don't bother to pay attention to them, let them have to worry about it first.

All I need to do is attract all the elite soldiers of North Korea to confront the Ming army on the border.

Do you think they are the only ones who can sneak attack the Ming army?

When Japan dispatched 100,000 troops, crossed the sea in white, and suddenly backstabbed them, I asked them to understand the dangers of the world. ”

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "It seems that our absurd Emperor Jingtai is going to start pheating people again." ”

"Hmph, if this battle hadn't been fought, we wouldn't have known that North Korea had secretly built a 50,000-strong heavy infantry.

This is obviously coveting the territory of the Jurchen tribes.

Oh my God, there's endless ass everywhere. The current Hamgyong Province of North Korea is basically the territory of Won. Further on belonged to Liao and Jin.

As a result, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea seized the opportunity to occupy all of them.

In the end, our Emperor Taizong gave a sentence: The land of Korea, within the degree of me, why should I fight.

With a few words, Hamgyong Province was given to North Korea. ”

"Tut-tut, even Taizong dug a pit for his husband, then you, Zhu Shoumen, deserve your name, it's really heartbreaking to see Daming's family business."

Asa Xue asked, "Do you want to cut off trade with North Korea?" ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "The battle is as it is, and the business is as it is." Let's cut off trade with Japan and keep trade with North Korea.

In the end, Japan was forced to attack Korea. As soon as the Japanese army lands in Korea, our eternal imperial cause will be completed. ”

"Can the Japanese take the bait?"

"Hehe, don't you know, the Japanese may still have some remarkable points in tactics, but they are extremely short-sighted in strategy.

So we may have to pay a lot of money in the war, but the final victory will be ours.

Forget it, let's not talk about them, after a while, I sent more than 1,000 warships of the Dengzhou Navy Division, carrying 50,000 Shandong reserve Japanese troops, to land at Inchon and besiege Seoul.

The warships of the Dengju Navy Division went all the way to the east, facing Seoul. ”

The next day, the defeat of the Liaodong Army appeared in the newspapers.

Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to cover them up, and he didn't convene a court meeting, as if this had not happened.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the hall test was selected on the square in front of Qingyuntai, and Zhu Qiyu came to the scene to invigilate.

It wasn't until noon that Kong Gongsui appeared in the examination room.

Faced with this belated candidate, the rest of the candidates looked over in unison.

Wang Wen came to the emperor to ask for instructions, and Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Because my mother is seriously ill, I would rather not be famous, but also rush back to visit, this is the most filial piety, let him continue the exam, and extend the exam time for him for two hours." ”

So the exam went on as normal.

Taking the exam in this picturesque Ganquan Palace is a novel experience for the candidates. Fortunately, everything went smoothly in the back, and there were no more episodes.

On May 15, the Cabinet, together with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, completed the marking of the papers, and submitted the draft rankings and examination papers to the Imperial Palace.

In Qingyun Pavilion, Zhu Qiyu frowned and stared at the list for a long time before asking He Yi: "This, Sun Xian Zhuangyuan, Xu Pu Bangyan, Xu Cheng Tanhua?" Who decided this? ”

He Yi said with a smile: "This is just a joint suggestion of the cabinet, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Rites, and the first class jinshi will ultimately be decided by the saint."

However, according to convention, the Son of Heaven generally does not make any changes. ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "I don't agree with this list." ”

He Yi replied: "Originally, according to the article, everyone elected Qiu Jun as the champion. But Qiu Jun was ugly, so he moved it to the first place in the second class. ”

"Judging people by their appearance? Did I agree, and who gave them permission to make their claims? ”

He Yi saw that the emperor was greatly displeased, so he didn't dare to answer any further.

"Let's put it here first, wait for half a month, I will read the exam papers one by one, and then redefine the ranking.

Although I respect the efforts of the ministers, they can't be blind, one by one, how can they be more willful than me.

Or is it about the war in the Northeast, but there is progress? ”

He Yi replied: "The 20,000 Beijing army is fighting hard in Xuanzhou with the 30,000 elite heavy infantry and some naval divisions of the DPRK, the DPRK army occupies a geographical advantage, and there is a numerical advantage, our army has suffered heavy losses, morale is low, I am afraid it will be difficult to win for a while."

However, in the direction of Hamgyong Province, the Jurchen tribes gathered 10,000 people, and Li Chengyu had more than 20,000 people, plus Jiang Yuan and Fang Ying's 10,000 cavalry, which was quite dominant.

North Korea has a total of 50,000 elite heavy infantry, 30,000 in Xuanju, 10,000 in the attack on Hamgyong Province, and 10,000 in the hands of Li Chengyu.

So the elite of North Korea is all concentrated on the northern border.

At this time, whether our army crosses the sea from Dengju to attack Seoul, or Japan crosses the sea and attacks Busan, Korea will collapse. ”
