The only one who could speak in the cabinet was Li Xian. He stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Mao Zhong incident may have been caused by the Jin Yiwei's inattention. Your Majesty can just supervise the Jin Yiwei. The Tiqi has been idle for many years, why bother to form it again? If His Majesty wants to investigate the case of Mao Zhong's rebellion, he can hand it over to the Three Law Departments, and he will definitely give a satisfactory explanation to the people of the world."
"The dignified Minister of the Ministry of Personnel actually colluded with the rebel general. How do you know that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is okay? You asked the thief to find the thief. What can you find? Li Xian, if you prevent me from rebuilding Tiqi, are you also colluding with the general? Huh?" Zhu Qiyu stared at him.
He must rebuild Tiqi, and he must select from the orphans who died in the Tumu Fort. These people are mortal enemies of Zhu Qizhen, so he can rest assured that they can work for him. As for Jinyiwei and Dongchang, they must be cleaned up before they can be reused, otherwise he will not believe anyone.
Li Xian trembled and glanced at Zhang Xi, who was still alive. His face turned pale. The emperor wanted to take the opportunity to kill again?
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I have no intention of obstructing you. It's just that rebuilding the Tiqi is of great importance. I'm worried that Mao Zhong's comrades will disappear and lurk again, which will not be conducive to our search! Moreover, the establishment of the Tiqi will cost a lot of money, and the Ministry of Household Affairs may Can’t make ends meet…”
Zhu Qiyu interrupted Li Xian: "Don't worry about the money, it comes from the internal funds. I am also confused. Tiqi is a slave of the emperor, why do you need to discuss it with the courtiers? Okay, this matter has been settled, and the cabinet does not need to worry about it anymore. Yes, I have my own opinion."
Li Xian rolled his eyes wildly. If the civil servants don't agree, can you form Tiqi? He secretly looked at Yu Qian. Yu Qian said nothing, and the civil servants also bowed their heads in silence. He knew that he was going to fulfill the emperor's wishes again. But rebuilding Tiqi will take time, and they can also put their hands in. Who will listen to them at that time is still unknown.
"Your Majesty, Taizu's Shiti Cavalry was fixed at two hundred, and you should also be able to form Tiqi within two hundred." Li Xian put a yoke on the emperor.
Zhu Qiyu frowned, what can two hundred people do? Taizu Shi Tiqi was affiliated with Jinyiwei, so the number of them was naturally small. However, the benefits must be obtained first before they are yours. Why quarrel with the courtiers over an imaginary number? When the time comes, I will form a team of 500 or 1,000 Tiqi. What can you do?
"Yes, Lu Zhong is the commander of Tiqi." Zhu Qiyu said calmly.
Lu Zhong is the protagonist of the Golden Knife Case. In the second year of Jingtai, Zhu Qizhen gave the royal golden knife to the eunuch Ruan Lang, and Ruan Lang gave it to his disciple Wang Yao. Lu Zhong discovered Wang Yao's Jin Dao secretly reported to Zhu Qiyu that the Supreme Emperor was seeking restoration. The original owner of Xingda Prison wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Zhu Qizhen, but in court, Lu Zhong suddenly betrayed him and admitted to falsely accusing Ruan Lang, which led to the abortion of the Golden Knife Case and the loss of the best opportunity to get rid of Zhu Qizhen. After the case, Zhu Qiyu had people cut down all the trees in Nangong to facilitate surveillance. He ordered Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji to keep an eye on Zhu Qizhen, and the surveillance turned out to be a coup.
And there is something fishy everywhere in this golden sword case. Why does a royal golden sword keep changing hands? Lu Zhong clearly sued Zhu Qizhen privately, why did he betray him at the critical moment? And why did Zhu Qiyu trust Wang Ji at that time?
This time, Zhu Qiyu wants to use Lu Zhong, because Lu Zhong has no retreat, and the only one who can keep him alive is Zhu Qiyu. Lu Zhong has been pretending to be crazy and acting stupid in the past few years, but Zhu Qiyu knows that Lu Zhong is not crazy, and he just takes the opportunity to find out the whole story of the Golden Knife Case. He had a vague suspicion that the Golden Knife Case was inextricably linked to the Yi Chu incident, Zhu Jianji's death, and the incident of seizing the door.
"There is no need for Liu An to return to Beijing. I plan to order Fang Ying and Xiang Zhong to return to the court and serve as the left and right governors of the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion."
Li Xian's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard about Xiang Zhong. Xiang Zhong was a Jinshi for seven years. He was once captured by Wala and escaped on foot. He is now the deputy envoy of Guangdong. It would be a wonderful thing if civil servants were allowed to intervene in the Governor's Mansion.
He immediately understood that the emperor's main intention was to order Fang Ying to enter the court. In order to resist the pressure from nobles, he would give some benefits to the civil servants.
"Your Majesty, Uncle Guang Ning is working hard in Nanjing, he is prudent, loyal, brave and reliable. It is right for him to replace Gu Xingzu. This is also the result of the unanimous recommendation of the courtiers." Zhu Yi stood up and said: "Your Majesty's edict. It is natural for Uncle Nan He to return to the capital, but Uncle Nan He is quelling the Miao rebellion, so how can he return to the capital? Why not let Liu An serve as the left governor and Uncle Nan He serve as the right governor? What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Zhu Yi will never allow civilian officials to continue to interfere in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. Although the honor has declined, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is not as good as before. Although civilian officials have intervened, there is no precedent for becoming a governor. This precedent must not be broken! Otherwise, the noble power will be even weaker! Sooner or later he will become a lackey of the civil servants.
"What Duke Cheng Guo said is wrong. The Miao chaos is just a rebellion of thousands of people. It can be put down by leaving it to Li Zhen and Chen You. It is the right time for Zhao Nan and Bo to enter the capital. And Bo Guangning is loyal, brave and reliable, and it is the right time to pacify Nanjing." I think your Majesty's arrangement is very good. Nan Hebo will be appointed as the left governor, Xiang Zhong will be appointed as the right governor, and my minister Li Xian supports your majesty's decision!" Li Xian immediately retorted.
Zhu Yi almost fainted from anger!
The emperor has made so many mistakes. His nobles have declined like this. Not only did he kill people and demote officials, he actually let civilian officials intervene in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. Your nobles are an extension of the imperial power. You are cutting off your own tentacles, Your Majesty. ! Hunjun, Hunjun!
"What Mr. Li Ge said is true, let's make this decision." Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief.
When Liang Yue and Fang Ying entered the court, he would have people he could use on the honorary side. When Ye Sheng, Bai Gui, Nian Fu, Han Yong and others entered the court, he would also have people he could recruit on the civil service side. He finally No longer alone, the situation will improve a lot. At least he won't have to pretend to be crazy with his head raised. The next step is to put the shit basin on Zhu Qizhen's head, and he will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay, it's been a tiring day today. Let's all go back and rest. Tomorrow the court will be cancelled, and each ministry will perform its duties. Cabinet, please issue a note on repairing the palace. You can discuss it with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry. I won't interfere anymore. Anyway, it needs to be repaired as soon as possible. If the imperial city is like this, where is the royal majesty?"
"Send the Supreme Emperor back to Nangong, Mr. Yu. I leave the safety of the Supreme Emperor to you. You must protect the Supreme Emperor! Don't let him be betrayed by some people with bad intentions!"
"Anyone who participates in the rebellion will be punished according to the law. There is no need for the court to participate. I leave it to Dongchang."
Zhu Qiyu wanted to use the rebels' belongings to build Tiqi and expand the power of Dongchang. After saying that, he looked at Yu Qian and said, "Xuanying and the imperial concubine had a very happy chat. Please go back in a few days. Jin Zhong, please see the emperor in person." The Queen Mother has returned to the palace. Please stop quarreling with me over minor matters. Let the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies decide on their own. The memorial will be sent to the Qianqing Palace."
Yu Qian twitched the corner of his mouth and sighed: "I obey your order."
"Yu Aiqing, let Yu Mian come to the palace to see you tomorrow." Zhu Qiyu warned with a smile, got on the imperial chariot, tilted his head and said to Song Jie: "Write down the list of meritorious people tonight and send it to Qianqing Palace. I will personally reward you tomorrow. Then I will announce that the Imperial Guard Commander will follow me to Qianqing Palace, and I will reward you tonight."
The imperial guards were the most important thing in guarding the palace. He could not rely on Song Jie alone, not to mention the relationship between Song Jie and Zhu Qizhen. He couldn't help but worry about it, and he had to cultivate his confidants quickly.
It's a pity that Wang Qin died. Otherwise, he could have been appointed as the Supervisor of Ceremonies. When Xing'an fell, the Supervisor of Ceremonies had a power vacuum. It was a good opportunity to seize it. However, Wang Cheng was injured, and Shu Liang and Zhang Yong each took charge of the same task. , You need to train more of your own people. The eunuchs in the inner palace are not trustworthy. Some rough eunuchs should be promoted to the palace. It doesn't matter if they are stupid. The key is to be loyal enough. It would be best to find an excuse to replace all the eunuchs and maids in the palace.
Zhu Qiyu thought about it, and finally passed the first hurdle. He tore a corner in the court and took control of a regiment. Shu Liang was the commander of Dongchang, Zhang Yong was the commander of Jinyiwei, and Lu Zhong was ordered to form Tiqi. It was barely safe. The rest is to wait for time to ferment slowly. He will win over the courtiers and control the regiment, and the imperial power will gradually return to his hands. The military power will be gradually implemented, and it will not come in a hurry. As for Zhu Qizhen, I feel uneasy if I don’t kill him!
The top priority is to rectify the inner palace and kill Nie Shanggong and Xu Bin. The old witch's control over the palace will inevitably decline, and she must take this opportunity to control the inner palace. He poked his forehead, feeling a little tired, but time was running out and there were too many things to do.
"Come here, drag Xing'an back. I want to ask him something." Zhu Qiyu has a headache. There are too few confidants available. The original owner really gave him a hellish start. He pretended to be crazy before breaking a corner. Think about it. Everyone is afraid. This kind of madness is okay once in a while, but if he goes mad again and again, it is probably the emperor who has his head moved.
The imperial chariot returned to Qianqing Palace, and the doctors were still kneeling in front of the palace gate. Zhu Qiyu could not spare any time to rectify the Taiyuan Hospital. Taiyin Hospital was also a sacred pit and needed to be rectified.
There were so many things before him. Everything had to be done, and it had to be done quickly. There was too little time.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!" The doctors had been kneeling for more than two hours. The private doctors couldn't bear this at all, and several of them fainted from exhaustion.
"Get back on your feet." Zhu Qiyu frowned and asked the little eunuch: "Why do you still let the doctors kneel? You don't understand the rules! Inform the imperial kitchen to send ginseng soup to keep the doctors warm. By the way, how is the prescription verification going?"
"Go back to your Majesty, Feng Xiao is still checking, please go and urge me." The young eunuch's name is Chang Sheng. He performed well in the competition last night and was promoted by Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu entered Xinuang Pavilion. Concubine Tang Guifei and Tan Yunxian had a pleasant conversation. Seeing the emperor coming in, he quickly saluted. Zhu Qiyu sat on the cushions and breathed a sigh of relief: "Female medical officer, how long will it take for my body to recover?"
"Your Majesty, your health is not serious. With a little care, you can recover in half a month." Tan Yunxian said seriously.
"Well, I'll ask the female medical officer to stay in the palace first and nurse me back to health. It will be arranged by Chang Sheng."
Tan Yunxian's face changed slightly: "Your Majesty, my maid..."
"Don't worry, I will let you out of the palace when your health improves. Don't worry about your family, I will send someone to notify you. Okay, step back."
Zhu Qiyu had no time to talk nonsense. After Tan Yunxian left, he told Chang Sheng: "Chang Sheng, I will leave my body to you. For the prescription she prescribed, you have ten doctors to check it and sign it. Change the doctor for the first time, and ask him to shut up. He is not allowed to reveal a word, and offenders will be killed! If there is a doctor who is inconsistent with the other nine, arrest him immediately! Send him to Dongchang for interrogation! If it is found to be inappropriate, the nine tribes will be killed!"
"Also, the medicinal materials must only pass through your hands. The medicinal materials must be changed randomly. The imperial pharmacy and the herbal medicine library are closely watched by me. I will take three copies of each medicine, keep one for storage, and drink one for the imperial physician who consults the prescription. Send the last one to me. Don't let the eunuchs or palace maids test the medicine in the meantime. You can try it yourself. Remember, you have to keep a close eye on the whole process. I give you the privilege. If you think there is something wrong, you can immediately You don’t need to ask me about the arrests and send them to Dongchang for interrogation, and you don’t have to worry about making mistakes. If you don’t have enough manpower, you can pick a few rough eunuchs. It doesn’t matter if they are stupid, as long as they are loyal. Do you understand?”
"My slave accepts the order!" Chang Sheng knelt on the ground: "This slave will guarantee with his life that there will be no problem with the medicine sent!"
"Okay! Go and arrange a place for Tan Yunxian in person. Pay attention to her and don't let anyone kill her." Zhu Qiyu said a few more insignificant things. At this time, the commander of the imperial guard was waiting outside the palace gate.
When Chang Sheng went down to do some business, Zhu Qiyu asked Concubine Tang to return to the palace and summoned the commander of the Imperial Guard.
After seeing the ceremony, Song Jie said: "Your Majesty, this person is the number one in guarding the gate. Lu Gao guarded the Anding Gate. He took arrows personally and was hit by several arrows. He didn't even take a step back to guard the Anding Gate. He deserves to be the number one in guarding the gate."
"I pay homage to Your Majesty!" Lu Gao took two steps on his knees and kowtowed: "I am no more than a mere deputy of a thousand households in royal robes. It was Your Majesty who promoted me, and it was Your Majesty who led the ministers to resist the rebels. When the rebels saw that Your Majesty was like nine dragons controlling the sky, they immediately My soul is in disarray, and I have only done a small job, so how can I dare to accept the false praise of the Song Commander? Your Majesty treats me seriously, and I am willing to die to repay your kindness for your support!"
etc!
Zhu Qiyu was confused. Isn't Lu Gao from Zhu Qi Town? If I remember correctly, Lu Gao participated in the capture in history. He was a confidant of Menda and Liu Jing, and was recommended by Cao Jixiang. He is a die-hard Zhu Qizhen loyalist! Why would you guard the gate for him? Still fighting to the death, the first goalkeeper? Isn't that ridiculous? Are you pretending to be loyal again?
Lu Gao was good at sneaking into the camp. When he saw the emperor's expression, he knew that the emperor did not remember him, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am Menda's deputy. Your eyes are like a torch. You have exposed Menda's disguise and promoted me to take charge of the royal guards. Only then can I perform meritorious service. Your Majesty takes the lead. Encourage the ministers, and the ministers and others can guard the palace gate, all thanks to your majesty's great blessing."
Song Jie showed a simple and honest smile, he liked this kind of talkative boy.
"Reward! Promote Lu Gao, Deputy Qianhu of Jin Yiwei, to serve as Jin Yiwei and assist Zhang Yong in rectifying Jin Yiwei." Zhu Qiyu also wanted to observe. He always felt that Lu Gao was very strange. He was obviously a die-hard loyalist of Zhu Qizhen, so why did he jump on his side? coming?
"Liu Qin from the 100th Household of Jinyi Guards and Yang Ying from the 100th Household guarded the Huiyin Gate with outstanding contributions!"
The two Zhu Qiyu knew that Yang Ying was a relative of Zhang Yong and Liu Qin was also a member of Zhang Yong, so they naturally wanted to use him in a more important position. Liu Qin was granted the title of Jinyiwei Qianshi, and Yang Ying was appointed the Jinyiwei town governor.
"Everyone who guards the gate tonight, regardless of soldiers or generals, will be rewarded! You are all my heroes, and I will reuse them!" Zhu Qiyu generously rewarded the imperial guards. These people have been killed by Zhu Qizhen. They can be used temporarily, but It is also necessary to conduct detailed screening to prevent people with ulterior motives from lurking.
After seeing off the commanders, Zhu Qiyu left Song Jie behind and asked him: "Cousin, can I trust you?"
"I am loyal to Your Majesty and will never have second thoughts!" Song Jie knelt on the ground, looking uneasy.
"Don't worry, I don't need you to deal with the Supreme Emperor, and I won't embarrass you." Zhu Qiyu asked the eunuch to go to Jindun and let him sit down.
Song Jie breathed a sigh of relief and thanked En for sitting on the Jin Dun.
"Cousin, tell me the truth, who among the guards is the most trustworthy?"
Song Jie glanced at the door, looking uncertain. In fact, he didn't want to take sides. He was a relative of the emperor. No matter who sat in that seat, he was as stable as a rock. But if he said it, he would accept the petition and side with Emperor Jingtai. But if he didn't say it, according to the emperor's temperament, would he be able to get out of Nuangemen alive?
"The commander of Wu Xiang's right guard, Shen Huai, is the son of Shen Rong, the former martial uncle. He has always been dissatisfied with the Supreme Emperor. He worked extra hard tonight guarding the gate, so Your Majesty gave him the world certificate. Li Jin, the uncle of Xiangcheng, is currently the commander of the standard guard. His father, Li Zhen, died in Tumubao. He ascended the throne in the first year of Jingtai, and he was also loyal to your majesty. Sui Anbo Chen Shao also ascended the throne in the first year of Jingtai, and he was full of thoughts about making achievements. His Majesty can use it to avenge his father's shame..."
Several nobles recommended by Song Jie made Zhu Qiyu's eyes shine, especially Li Jin. This person is cautious and strategic, and is an excellent candidate to be a bodyguard.
"Cousin, you are one of my people, and I trust you. Tomorrow you bring these people to see me, and I will have a banquet, and you will get drunk before you rest!" Zhu Qiyu wants to take a good exam, and if possible, focus on promotion, among the imperial guards , you must be all your own in order to sleep peacefully.
After chatting for a few more words, Zhu Qiyu asked the eunuch to send Song Jie away. He closed his eyes and rested. At this time, the eunuch Feng Xiao came in and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I have finished checking the prescriptions."
"How many of you have questions?" Zhu Qiyu asked with his eyes closed.
Feng Xiao said cautiously: "More than forty..."
Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes suddenly. Is this a hospital or a wolf den? There were over forty people who had problems with the prescriptions! Even if I am not sick, I will be killed by the imperial doctor sooner or later! No wonder the emperor's life is short, and those who are treated by these rubbish doctors are the monsters who live longer!
"Where is Shu Liang?"
"Waiting outside the palace, Eunuch Shu was afraid that the people from Dongchang would bump into His Majesty, so he didn't dare to come in." Feng Xiao was Shu Liang's godson, so he naturally spoke for him.
"Come in! Call in all the imperial doctors!" Zhu Qiyu is about to use the knife!
The Ming Dynasty followed the Yuan system and adopted the ancestral medical system, which means that if the father is a doctor, the son will also be a hereditary doctor. Transfer of registration is not allowed, and the medical family will pass it down from generation to generation. To put it simply, the son of an imperial physician, even if he is a fool, is still an imperial physician when he is born.
The imperial doctors came in tremblingly and kowtowed, but Zhu Qiyu stared at them coldly and refused to allow them to get up. After a while, he said coldly: "Wu Tong, come out!"
"Wei Chen is here." An imperial doctor wearing a court judge's robe walked out.
"Wu Tong, you saw my illness first, and then I showed Xu Biao. Also, you were the one who saw the queen's illness." Zhu Qiyu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Queen Hang's death was not something that happened at all. It was an accident, but it was intentional!
Because after detailed comparison by Feng Xiao, Wu Tong’s prescription for him this time was missing one medicine from the previous prescription! She showed Tan Yunxian the previous prescription, but Tan Yunxian said that Zhu Qiyu's deficiency should not be replenished, so he should focus on purging and slowly replenishing the righteousness, so that the body will get better. However, Wu Tong's prescription added an extra dose to the tonic, which destroyed the balance of the prescription and made the body worse as he took more.
"Yes, I am incompetent and cannot save the late Queen!" Wu Tong kowtowed.
"Is he incompetent? He fooled me like this and he is incompetent? Come on, drag him out! Cut off his dog's paws! Drag him in again and ask for words!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious. Xu Biao was not the only 25-year-old boy in the Taiyuan Hospital. This one was caught out! There are two judges in Taiyuan Hospital, and they are all traitors! There is also a hospital envoy whose whereabouts are unknown. This hospital should be renamed the Hospital for Life!
"It's wrong, Your Majesty, it's wrong..." Wu Tong cried twice before his mouth was gagged. Not long after he was dragged down, he heard a scream. Soon, Wu Tong, who had lost his hands, was dragged back to Xinuang Pavilion. He was so frightened that The imperial doctor kneeling on the ground looked pale.
"Are you still unjust?" Zhu Qiyu stared at Wu Tong.
Wu Tong howled miserably. Looking at his handless wrist, he cried even harder, unable to hear the emperor's words at all.
"Pretend to be deaf? Okay, drag him down and chop off both of his feet!"
Zhu Qiyu glanced at the imperial doctors kneeling in the hall and asked sternly: "Do you know why you were brought here? Touch your conscience and ask, are you imperial doctors?"
"Zheng Lu, what disease do I have? Can you tell? Can you see a doctor? Is this how your father taught you to practice medicine? Ren Hao, you can't even write, how did you get into Tai Hospital? You There are only a few numbers in a prescription, but eight of them are wrong! Is this how you usually treat illnesses?"
"And you, Lu Zhi, where are you hiding? I remember that you were the one who cured Empress Qian's leg disease. You swore to me that it was because of the cold in your bones. If it couldn't be cured, the leg would become useless, right? It really couldn't be cured. ! Still you don’t know how to treat! After Queen Qian became disabled, people all over the world scolded me for treating the emperor’s sister-in-law harshly! I have been suffering from infamy for several years. I never thought that the problem is your head! You don’t know how to treat illnesses at all! A quack! "
"And you! Are you doctors or bastards? The lives of many royal relatives, civil and military nobles have been lost in your hands! It's really sensational and unbelievable! If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. , this kind of thing would happen in the Ming Dynasty! How on earth did you sneak into the Taiyuan Hospital? Is the person in charge of the review a shit-eater? "
"Come here! Chop off all these people's hands!" Zhu Qiyu was furious.
After a surprise inspection, it was discovered that among the imperial physicians at the Imperial Hospital, there were actually more than a dozen who could not write, some could not prescribe, and some could prescribe medicines indiscriminately. But these people wore official robes and looked like dogs as they shuttled around the homes of dignitaries in the capital to treat them. Who would have known that they didn't know how to treat them at all! They are all bastards! Whoever is treated by them will be unlucky! It would be better to lie in bed and wait for death!
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!" The doctors were all panicked and crying.
"Delay it! Hand it over to Beizhen Fusi to be tortured. They will check if there are any murders. If there are any murder cases, they will be punished with their lives. If not, the whole family will be exiled to Liaodong! They are not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict!"
"Send an order to Beizhen Fusi and ask me to investigate closely. How did these gangsters sneak into the Taiyuan Hospital? Send an order to the Ministry of Rites again to investigate! Investigate to the end! No one will be tolerated if found! Let Dali Temple cooperate The Ministry of Etiquette investigates!”
