As soon as the ministers saw the emperor, their hearts were speechless, and they saw that the emperor was becoming more and more energetic and aura, which looked like he was sick.

The emperor made it clear that he was angry, if you didn't let me save easily, I would be at home every day.

You don't like me, I don't like you. Anyway, it's also a mutual hate, and it's best to forget about each other.

Zhu Qiyu also does not have a beard, and in the eyes of the ministers, his complexion is excellent, and he is even younger than when he first ascended the throne.

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, and Pei Dang and Chen Lin commanded dozens of guards to stand in a row, each holding a piece of letter paper in their hands.

Liu Chang took dozens of other guards to maintain order.

Zhu Qiyu said loudly: "Let's take a look, this is the original letter exchanged between King Yi and Kong Yanjin and the Japanese Emperor and General Zhengyi.

and all of them carefully discern and discern them, lest they have wronged the good men. ”

Liu Chang led his personal guards to maintain order, and let the ministers line up to watch.

The guards kept the ministers at a certain distance from the letters, lest a few people get impulsive and destroy the evidence.

Zhu Qiyu has never been afraid to speculate on the ministers with the greatest malice.

It took more than half an hour to confirm the evidence, and every official who came to the court carefully confirmed it.

Now it is completely confirmed, everyone has seen it, but no one has stood up to question it, because everyone has never seen the handwriting of the Japanese emperor and the general Zhengyi, and not many people have seen Kong Yanjin's handwriting.

But most of Yiwang's handwriting has been seen.

pretending to be King Yi's handwriting and defrauding the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, as long as people with a little normal brain can't do this kind of humiliating thing.

Since even King Yi's letters are indeed handwritten, the handwriting of the Japanese Emperor, the Great General of Zhengyi, and Kong Yanjin is not a forgery, because there is no need.

After everyone read it, Pei Dang and Chen Lin carefully put away the letter, put it in the jade box and locked it.

These evidences should be classified as royal archives for long-term preservation, and no one should try to overturn the case.

After confirming the evidence, Zhu Qiyu asked: "You all know what happened, and you have also read the letters, what do you say about it?" ”

Wang Wen was the first to stand up and play: "Shengshang, Weichen thinks that he should let the Nanjing household department first take out 300,000 taels of silver and 20,000 taels of gold to redeem His Royal Highness King Yi."

Something else, take your time. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "What Aiqing said is very true, please play, let's draft it immediately." ”

Zhu Qiyu and Wang Wenjunchen get along, and this double reed sings very well.

The ministers had planned to repeatedly negotiate with the emperor over the ransom issue, so as to occupy the moral high ground.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the emperor and Shoufu had a total of three sentences, and the problem was solved.

Both the emperor and the first assistant have agreed to pay the ransom, what else can the ministers say.

This is called saying the words of the ministers, leaving the ministers with nothing to say.

The atmosphere in the hall became a little awkward for a moment, and the ministers really didn't know what to say in a hurry.

Zhu Qiyu asked: "Why don't you disperse, the widow has not recovered from his illness for a long time, and he still needs to recuperate." ”

Wang Yining, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly stood up and asked, "Holy Lord, King Yi is involved in colluding with foreign countries, how should he deal with it?" The Japanese emperor and the general of Seiyi also wrote a handwritten letter to the prince, what did the prince do? ”

Zhu Qiyu replied angrily: "You ask me, how do I know." If you have a proposal, say it, and if you don't have a proposal, retreat. ”

At today's court meeting, Zhu Qiyu just made up his mind and put it badly. I'm going to kill King Yi, but you don't agree; I'm going to depose the crown prince, but you still don't agree. You don't agree to anything, you keep asking me what to do, how do I know how to deal with it.

Luo Tong stood up to relieve Wang Yining: "Shengshang, do you want to order the sailor to cut off the retreat of the Japanese invaders who invaded Nanjing from the sea?" Do you want to punish the Shandong coastal guard for dereliction of duty? ”

Zhu Qiyu replied: "No need, King Yi is in the hands of the Japanese Kou, what's the use of intercepting them." In case the Japanese are forced to be in a hurry, they hurt King Yi, who can bear the responsibility.

As for the landing of the Japanese in Shandong, it was all because the widows sent the main force of the naval division to Busan, and the fault was not the local guard post.

If it is necessary to punish the crime, it is more appropriate for the widow to issue an edict for his own crime. ”

Luo Tong hurriedly replied: "Weichen lost his words, the saint cares about the world, what kind of crime, you must not make an edict again." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded.

Yao Kui, the secretary of the Criminal Department, asked: "Holy Lord, what should be done with the displaced people in Qufu who attacked the Confucian Mansion?" Do you want to arrest those leading displaced people and correct the Fa? ”

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously, "Fa-rectification?" What is the Dharma? The law of Zheng Da Ming or the law of Zheng Da Yuan? ”

Yao Kui stopped talking when he heard this.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "There are so many displaced people, who are you looking for, let Shandong envoy Chen Jian have full authority to appease." In addition, the Cabinet intends to exempt Shandong Province from all taxes and forced labor this year, next year, and the year after.

Ordinary people in Shandong who are willing to go to Korea, Liaodong, Jeju Island, and the newly occupied Japanese land can go to the government to register.

As long as they are willing to open up the wasteland, the imperial court will give generous preferential treatment and will never let them suffer. ”

After that, Zhu Qiyu stood up and left.

The hundred officials looked at each other, and finally convened a big court meeting, and it ended hastily?

Small meetings for big things and small meetings for small things, the officials have not yet summed up this truth.

Let the officials look at the evidence of the letters, and then make sure to pay the ransom and show the brothers, friends and brothers, and the purpose will be achieved.

It stands to reason that with these evidences, it should be right to depose King Yi as a concubine and accept the prince's request to abdicate.

But no one mentioned this at the court meeting, and if no one mentioned it, then pull it down.

The next few days were peaceful.

On the first day of November, Zhu Qiyu was still under the quilt when he received a report from Nanjing.

After reading it, Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "These gangs are really interesting, they really took Zhu Qizhen hostage."

Don't the ministers still want to raise the bar with me, and when Zhu Qizhen is restored and proclaimed emperor, I will see how the ministers will still be able to bar.

At that time, they will have to occupy the team, either as ministers of Emperor Jingtai or ministers of the Orthodox Emperor.

Either support my eldest son as the crown prince, or support Zhu Qizhen's eldest son as the crown prince.

If they do not make a choice, the public opinion of the government and the opposition will not be able to spare them, and they will no longer be able to sway from side to side.

Why didn't I think of this trick earlier, as long as Zhu Qizhen was restored and became the emperor, everyone up and down the Ming Dynasty was immediately forced into a corner, and wanted to ride the wall and sway in the wind, but the door was gone.

When I arrest Zhu Qizhen back next year, he can die as a matter of course. ”

Lin Xiangyu teased on the side: "Just your old man walked one step at a time and looked at the master of ten steps, really just thought of it?" Don't deliberately pretend to be stupid and fool us. ”

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands helplessly: "The trick of restoration is really something I only thought of recently, and I am not an immortal, I also want to do a lot of things, and adjust them in a timely manner according to the changes in the situation." ”

Lin Xiangyu praised: "The restoration trick is really ruthless, ruthless and wonderful. Zhu Qizhen was restored in Japan, but he lost his morality and was unable to exert his strength across the vast sea.

Even if there are still many forces in the government and the opposition that are towards him, they are beyond the reach of the whip.

It's like on a battlefield, where your commander is stationed on a hill with a banner, and the bottom of the hill is surrounded by the enemy, while the soldiers who are loyal to you are five miles away.

The soldiers could see the flag, but they couldn't protect the commander. This situation is indescribably uncomfortable. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "When you say that, it's really true." Forget it, don't talk about them, can there be a war report on the Japanese front? ”

Qianxue replied: "Yes, I just arrived this morning, and I was about to report the good news to my husband." In the middle of the sea route between Busan and Kaga, several islands form a small country with a length of 70 or 80 li from east to west and 20 li from north to south.

When the sailor was transporting troops, he took advantage of the situation to defeat the hidden country.

An Guogong, Jiang Yuan, and Huang Qi all wrote back to report the good news that there were two excellent harbors at the southeast end of the Hidden Ambiguity Kingdom, and they were built into military ports of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, he sailed 1,000 miles east from Busan to the Hidden Gun Port to resupply and rest, and then sailed 600 miles east to Kaga.

With a foothold and a safe haven in the middle of the route, the safety of the sailor's ships can be greatly improved. ”
