"I thank your Majesty for your kindness, but I ask your Majesty to take back your orders. The Taizu has orders, and no title can be awarded unless he has made meritorious service in the army. Although I have made little merit, I am your Majesty's trusted minister. All officials are willing to listen to me, and soldiers are willing to serve you." Your Majesty, I am worthy of this meritorious service. I dare not take credit for it, but I would like to ask Your Majesty to reward the meritorious officers and soldiers. I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your kindness."
"In the defense of Beijing, isn't it the merit of Sheji? At that time, I wanted to give my love a knighthood, but I refused to grant it because of my poor virtues. Now I have added the merit of saving you and saved me from fire and water. Isn't it the merit of Sheji? Young Master Please don't refuse, Fu. I have made up my mind, and Taichang Qing has issued the decree."
Zhu Qiyu explained it indiscriminately, and his love was beyond words. But Yu Qian's ice-like face turned into a bitter gourd face. Are you sure you are thanking me? He paid his respects again and said that civil servants were not allowed to be knighted. Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to argue with him and said calmly: "Uncle Jingyuan, you are also from a civil servant to a nobleman. Do you feel uncomfortable? You can also help to persuade the young master. Honorable and noble people How glorious it is to live together as one country!"
Wang Ji felt like he had eaten a fly, and he had the courage to persuade Yu Qian. He was really embarrassed among the nobles. He was not of the British lineage, nor of the Chengguo lineage. Neither the civil servants nor the nobles were willing to lead him. He plays, so he takes credit and flatters everyone.
"Qing Taichang, I have drafted a decree to order Baoding Marquis Liang Yue to enter the court. Liang Yue, Fan Guang, Li Bing, and Wang Yue will be the commanders of the regiment. Please issue it after drafting." Zhu Qiyu took the opportunity to seize power.
Shang Ren did not dare to accept the order, and Zhu Qiyu did not care: "Taichang Qing is tired. Wang Wen, you can make the decision."
Wang Wen swallowed his saliva. If he dared to agree, he would cut himself off from the civil service and completely become the emperor's lackey. He didn't care if he was scolded or blackmailed. He was worried that Zhu Qiyu could not handle the civil service and would be killed, and he would be liquidated. He secretly glanced at Shang Ren and then at Yu Qian. If Yu Qian nodded, he would dare to accept the order.
As soon as Chen Xun left and Gao Gu died, Wang Wen not only failed to assume the responsibility of being the mainstay of the civil service, but pushed Yu Qian to the stage. The civil servants in Beijing were very disappointed with Wang Wen. Zhu Qiyu was also disappointed with him. He, a die-hard civil servant, was afraid.
"Wang Wen, are you deaf? Prepare a decree!" Zhu Qiyu shouted.
Wang Wen gritted his teeth: "I obey your order."
"Your Majesty..." Seeing that the situation was not good, Shang Ren immediately spoke to advise.
But Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and interrupted: "Taichang Qing has drafted another imperial edict to promote Yu Shaofu to the title of Qiantang Bo. Yu Qing has made great contributions to the country and is recognized by all the ministers. There is no need to argue anymore. I heard that Yu Mian is closed at home. After studying hard and failing in many tests, I asked Yu Mian to enter the palace as my bodyguard. If there are any vacancies in the future, fill them in to complete the friendship between me and Yu Qing."
Yu Qian and Shang Ren were both dumbfounded. Are you sure this is friendship? But they all thought of the worst possibility. If the emperor ignored the objections of his ministers and forcibly appointed Yu Qian as Qiantang Bo, what would Yu Qian do once the imperial edict was issued? Should he explain it to all the scholars in the world one by one? Or refuse to accept the order? The emperor not only wanted to confer a title on him, but also ordered Yu Mian to enter the palace. This was forcing Yu Qian to side with the nobles! Let him bite the civil servant, he will die of disgust!
When Yu Qian and Shi Heng had a falling out, Shi Heng wanted to recommend Yu Mian to be the Deputy Chief of Guards for a Thousand Households, but Yu Qian scolded him and drove him out of the house. His family has been farming and studying for generations, and he is an innocent scholar. How could he be with Manchu? A smelly noble comrade? His son Yu Mian would rather fail in his life, then he would be a noble scholar, not some bullshit noble!
The emperor imposed a title on him because he wanted to exchange the title for military power! If Yu Qian did not agree with the emperor to take charge of Tuanying, the emperor would be disgusted with him and give him a knighthood, so that he would fall from a noble scholar into a cesspit and become a smelly nobleman. He would then find a way to take away his title. , demoted to a commoner, when that time comes, will there still be scholars who can speak for him?
No more, not only no, but they will also spurn him crazily! The national hero in the defense of Beijing, the hero of the country who was rescued by King Qin, will be confused, good will be described as bad, and he will be vilified as the number one sycophant in Jingtai, the contemporary Qin Hui! Being ennobled as an uncle, it is better to let Yu Qian wipe his neck and die!
He raised his head and stared at Zhu Qiyu. The emperor stopped shouting and killed, stopped acting like a child, and started playing political games. He used the title to coerce him, force him to submit, force him to complete political transactions and comply with the emperor's wishes! However, the emperor has a serious heart and plays hypocrisy and cunning to the extreme. Is this the same emperor who was full of murder and murder just now?
"Wang Wen, come and draw up an edict, confer it on the Earl of Qing, and issue it to the world." Zhu Qiyu sneered, you have the same name as Yu Qian, you would rather die than be humiliated, and want to leave your innocence in the world, okay, then I will give you the name, see if you dare Dare to bear it!
"I obey!" Wang Wen gritted his teeth and promised.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute. I know that Marquis Baoding is a capable minister of the country. Now that he is supervising the construction of Shouling, it will be overkill and underutilized. I agree to order Liang Yue to enter the court." In desperation, Shang Ren took a step back.
Zhu Qiyu remained calm while Liang Yue was considered a neutral faction, but he had a close relationship with Shi Heng. Liang Yue was dismissed from his post after Tumu Fort, and it was Zhu Qiyu who sent him to Shi Heng's command to serve him for meritorious service. In the third year of Jingtai, he was promoted to Baoding for his meritorious service. Hou, it can be said that he was promoted by Zhu Qiyu, but he was definitely not Zhu Qiyu's person, otherwise he would not have supervised the construction of Shouling and stayed away from the place of right and wrong.
Shang Ren seemed to be taking a step back, but in fact he wanted to use his power to win over Liang Yue and make Liang Yue join the civil service, which was equivalent to making all Zhu Qiyu's efforts in vain. That is to say, anyone can supervise the regiment camp, but it cannot be Fan Guang. Fan Guang has already made it clear that he is Zhu Qiyu's man.
Zhu Qiyu fought with the civil officials, rather than forcing them with swords, because the imperial edict needed to be approved by the cabinet before it could be issued, otherwise Zhu Qiyu's imperial edict would not be able to leave the capital. Otherwise, why would Zhu Qiyu have the patience to argue with them and just use the knife?
During the reign of Taizong, the cabinet was a auxiliary tool. During the reigns of Renzong and Xuanzong, the emperor could still order the cabinet. After Tumubao, the status of civil servants increased. When it came to Zhu Qiyu, the cabinet was already sitting on the emperor's head and began to listen to politics behind the curtain. He was locked in a cage by the civil servants. The pig, instead of helping him, Xungui helped the civil servant to put another pig in the cage, and he was still complacent. No wonder it declined, a bunch of idiots!
Neither the emperor nor the civil servants spoke, and the atmosphere was tense.
"Shu Liang, cook me a bowl of porridge." After struggling all night, Zhu Qiyu was really hungry. He was weak and in urgent need of recuperation.
But we must also fight with the civil servants and let Fan Guang, the governor of the camp, be determined to win. Without the regiment in hand, he felt insecure and looked like a rebel to everyone. We must tighten our grip on military power, reorganize the palace, imperial guards, and imperial guards, rebuild the East Factory, and rebuild the Tiqi, so that safety can be guaranteed.
Soon, the porridge was brought, and Zhu Qiyu ate it as if there was no one around. The kneeling minister also swallowed his saliva. He was really hungry. He had been struggling for two hours, and he was frightened and kneeling, and everything hurt.
Finally, an old minister fainted. Zhu Qiyu had someone carry him down, and Ai Gao Gao treated him. Seeing that he had fainted and not being punished, many old ministers pretended to be fainted. Zhu Qiyu pretended not to see it. Anyway, Ai Gao Gao had no other choice but to donate silver medicine. Yes, it would be more interesting to treat them like crazy.
"Send a message to the imperial kitchen to prepare some wine and food. All civil and military officials are hungry. I have a bad reputation, but I won't blame the officials harshly, right?" Zhu Qiyu said lightly.
Soon, the dishes were served, and the aroma was fragrant, but the emperor did not let them use their chopsticks. Normally, they wouldn't even be interested in taking a look at these dishes, but when they are hungry, their mouths water and they really want to take a bite.
Everyone looked at Shang Ren. Shang Ren was put on the shelf and kowtowed:
"Your Majesty, it's daybreak and it's time to go to work. All ministries and companies have complicated business affairs. There are refugees everywhere in Huguang. There are frequent seedlings and disasters. Please put people's livelihood first and don't delay the disaster because of your anger with ministers. , Your Majesty is the king and father of the people of the world. He has a reputation as a virtuous man. The suffering of his people feels like pain in his own heart. Please put the victims first and the people’s livelihood first, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Qiyu sneered, why don't I see you paying attention to disasters? Every time there is a disaster, you are extremely greedy. How much money and food do you really get to the victims? Treating my people like pigs and dogs, exploiting them when they are in use, and letting them die when they are not in use. Hum, the people of my Ming Dynasty live too hard! If I hold the sword, I will kill all corruption! We must kill all these bullshit gentlemen who talk about benevolence, justice and morality!
"Taichang Qing, please draw up an edict and order Li Bing and Wang Yue to return to the court. Fan Guang, Liang Yue, Li Bing and Wang Yue will be the commanders of the regiment and camp. I don't want to waste time. I am tired." Zhu Qiyu said lightly.
Shang Ren remained silent.
"Didn't Shang Qing always keep the world in mind? Why hasn't he drafted an edict? Is the cabinet not busy anymore? Or have the refugees in Huguang been resettled? Or has the Miao chaos been calmed down? The disaster has been stabilized just because Shang Qing opened his mouth. Why are you not talking?"
"What? You just want me to be a wise king! But you want to be Li Shen? Be a tenant farmer? Or you want to be Qin Hui!"
"You want to be Qin Hui! I am not Zhao Gou!"
"Come on, drag Shang Lu down, depose Zuo Chunfang as Grand Scholar and Taichang Qing, expel him from the capital, and never hire him again! Wang Wen, you come and draw up the decree!"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly looked at Yu Qian: "Young Master Yu, the capital camp is in your hands. Is there any problem with the regimental camp commander I appointed?"
Yu Qian's face turned bitter. He had to choose between a name or a title. Should he continue to float in the sky and become a god, or would he fall into a shit pit?
