Zhu Qiyu felt guilty, and Zhang Renli's confession was all true.
It was he who chopped off Zhang Renxiao's arm, and he also arranged for the people to be killed. Many people knew about this, and all the merchants saw it.
But things are different now. Zhu Qiyu said he never did it!
He looked at Wang Fu.
"I also think it's ridiculous!" Wang Fu immediately understood that what Zhang Renli said in his confession was true, but the emperor insisted on calling a deer a horse. What could he do?
"I will deal with them when I get back!" Wang Fu was showing his goodwill to the emperor.
"There's no need to dirty your hands, just leave it to Dongchang. Zhang Renli has made a lot of accusations and framed me. It's enough for them to drink a pot of wine. Do you think so?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang Fu with a smile.
Wang Fu lay prone on the ground: "I obey your Majesty's decree!"
He, Wang Fu, is a smart man and is willing to be a member of the royal party!
"Get up quickly and sit down."
Zhu Qiyu played with his thumb: "The General Affairs Department has been deserted for many years, and the officials are all just plain old people. I don't want to use them. You are the General Affairs Envoy, the chief officer of the General Affairs Department. Do you have any capable people in your heart that you can recommend to me?"
Wang Fu's eyes lit up, and the emperor reciprocated the favor by giving him the opportunity to cultivate party members.
"Wei Chen believes that Zhang Ge, Yu Zijun, Mou Feng, Lin Jing, and Liu Sheng are quite talented and qualified for the post of General Affairs Department."
This Wang Fu is an instant person.
Those recommended were all Jinshi in the second year of Jingtai, especially Zhang Ge, Yu Zijun, and Mou Feng. They were all talents that Zhu Qiyu valued very much.
Is it so easy to see through my mind?
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips curled up: "It would be good to transfer more people to the General Affairs Department to gain experience, but they have not had enough time to serve as local officials. They cannot be given high positions just by joining the General Affairs Department. Such a mess of customization is not a long-term solution. It is still necessary to influence the general affairs. Promoted in the government!"
Wang Fu understood: "Wei Chen believes that Liu Guangheng, the governor of Liaodong, and Kou Shen, the former censor of the right capital, are suitable for serving as the governor of the left."
"Liu Guangheng? I'm afraid he may not be happy if he is placed under Qi. He will be given the title of Honorary Doctor and will be temporarily appointed as Zuo Tongzheng."
"Kou Shen is at home with Ding You. I must resurrect him. I originally planned to rehabilitate him as the censor of the left capital. It seems that he can only join the Tongzheng department. I will also grant him the title of Ronglu doctor and temporarily serve as the right Tongzheng."
Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with Wang Fu. Originally, he planned to replace Wang Fu with one of his own, but now Wang Fu took the initiative to join him, saving a lot of trouble.
Liu Guangheng, the governor of Liaodong, was very embarrassed. Shang Ren was driven to Liaodong as governor, and Liu Guangheng was about to be transferred to the central government. However, there was no position for him in the central government. If he was asked to go to the northwest to eat sand, he would probably be dissatisfied.
The same goes for Kou Shen.
Wang Fu helped the emperor solve the problem.
"Yuan Jie will be the left counselor, Xue Xilian and Zhu Ying will be the right counselor. The rest will be appointed by Wang Qing and handed over to me for approval."
"I obey the decree!" Wang Fu breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Renli was his surrender.
From now on, he is the emperor's man.
Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with him: "Wang Qing, the General Affairs Department wants to restore the system of Taizu's time. In the future, the General Affairs Department can become a yamen on an equal footing with the cabinet and the six ministries. You must take good care of the General Affairs Department for me."
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. I will certainly live up to Your Majesty's high expectations!" Wang Fu knelt down to express his gratitude.
After talking about the arrangements of the General Affairs Department, Wang Fu was sent away.
Zhu Qiyu is in a good mood. This is the emperor. Ministers should take the initiative to serve, learn civil and martial arts, and sell them to the emperor's family. This Ming Dynasty belongs to me! You civil servants are so arrogant! How nice it would be to work for me obediently!
It’s time for me to reach out to the six departments. Which one can become my lackey first?
"No news has come from Shu Liang?" Zhu Qiyu asked again, he was still thinking about the treasure in the library.
"Your Majesty, we don't have any at the moment. I've sent someone to ask."
Zhu Qiyu nodded and stood up: "Go to the military aircraft office and have a look."
After leaving Qinzheng Hall, he walked into the Military Aircraft Department.
Feng Xiao followed behind, holding a small box in both hands.
The ministers, Hanlin, and eunuchs who entered the military aircraft department knelt down and worshiped on the ground.
"Please print!"
Feng Xiao opened the door of the box, and Zhu Qiyu took out a gold seal with the words "Military Aircraft Department" engraved on it. It was made by the seal supervisor.
"From today on, all memorials in the world must be sent to the Military Aircraft Department. Any memorial sent out from the Military Aircraft Department must be stamped with the Military Aircraft Department's seal before it can take effect!"
Zhu Qiyu's tone was cold: "Any memorial that does not include the seal of military aircraft will be invalid! I will issue a decree and order it to the world!"
Lu Yu, a cabinet official who joined the Military Aircraft Department on duty today, widened his eyes. The emperor wants to take away the power of the cabinet!
This is the fundamental reason for the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department! The courtiers were all deceived by the emperor!
The emperor wants to use military aircraft to take over the power of the cabinet!
No, not just the cabinet!
Military aircraft, military aircraft, the emperor also wants to take over the power of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion!
Take over the world's military and political power!
"From now on, all appointments to military governors, generals, military deployments, etc., must be made by the Military Aircraft Department and must be stamped with the Military Aircraft Department's gold seal. Otherwise, all appointments will be invalid!"
That's right, Zhu Qiyu wanted to use military aircraft to take back military and political power!
Taking back the imperial power is only the first step. The most important thing is to take back the military and political power in the world!
He is the real emperor who holds the world's military and political power in his hands.
It was quiet at the military aircraft.
The ministers who entered the military aircraft office were worried, thinking that the emperor might have gone too far.
The Military Aircraft Department was originally a secretarial department, but the emperor wanted to become the center of the world.
The key emperor had just killed Chen Xun, so he was so eager to take over the world's military and political power?
There will definitely be a wave of opposition in the court, and it is even possible that King Li's party and Hu's party will unite to fight against the imperial party.
Originally, the emperor took over power safely, and everyone tacitly understood, hello, me, everyone.
But the emperor made trouble again.
etc!
The emperor's real goal is not the cabinet, but military power!
He wants to take advantage of the absence of the Beijing camp to gather military power and enter the military aircraft office!
"Didn't you hear what the emperor said?" Feng Xiaoyin's pitiful voice sounded.
"I obey the order!" Lu Yu and others are just little shrimps, how dare they fight with the emperor.
They understood that the emperor did not speak out in the morning because he was worried that he would not be able to step down due to the excitement of the public.
So let the wind out today and wait to bargain with the courtiers.
"Feng Xiao then became the eunuch of the Military Aircraft Department."
Feng Xiao is loyal and reliable, and he deserves this.
That's right, when he established the Military Aircraft Department, he wanted to consolidate military power.
Now that the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion is in vain and has been infiltrated by various forces, even if he takes it back completely, he may not be able to use it like an arm.
Simply set up a Military Aircraft Department above the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and take over all the military power in the Military Aircraft Department.
This matter must be done quickly. Before the capital camp returns to the capital, the righteous name must be finalized and spread throughout the country.
He must also be prepared to be insoluble in water.
Feng Xiao knelt down to thank him.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you, is the Military Aircraft Department an internal affairs department or a court department?" Qiu Jun gritted his teeth and asked.
He felt that if there were eunuchs with palm prints, wouldn't the Military Aircraft Department become a ceremonial eunuch?
As Jinshis, they naturally hate eunuchs, and it is already difficult for them to work with eunuchs. If the eunuchs are in charge, does it mean that the eunuchs have the final say in the military aircraft department? What's the difference between that and going into a shithole?
“Have it both ways.”
Zhu Qiyu wanted to use the Military Aircraft Department to command the cabinet, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies.
"I would also like to ask Your Majesty, is the chief officer of the Military Aircraft Department a palm eunuch?" Qiu Jun was really shocked that he asked directly.
But Zhu Qiyu likes such officials: "In the Military Aircraft Department, I am the only one who is the biggest!"
"The palm seal eunuch is just a golden palm seal."
"The seal must be approved by me before it can be sealed!"
"The position of Minister of Military Aircraft is rotated by the Cabinet, the Sixth Ministry, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Affairs Department and the Fifth Military Governor's Office. There is no fixed number of people and no fixed official positions."
Zhu Qiyu sat on the main seat: "Everyone should be flat. In the military aircraft department, there are not many rules. Just relax. If you can, save on etiquette. If you can, don't kneel. This is not a court, and there are not so many rules. .”
He is not a Tatar, and there is no need to enslave the Ming Dynasty.
"Put some chairs here so that the military minister can sit." Zhu Qiyu said in two rows.
The ministers were shocked. After Zhao Kuangyin withdrew his chair, the ministers had no chairs to sit in front of the monarch, and even no chairs in the cabinet!
The emperor actually wants to add chairs to the military aircraft?
Is this exchanging ministerial power for military power?
The emperor knew that it would be extremely difficult to use military aircraft to take over the power of the five-army governor's office, so he wanted to use his ministerial power to make a deal to get the cabinet ministers to agree and the civil officials to agree.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this move is inconsistent with etiquette!" Yin Zhi knelt on the ground and hesitated.
If the chair is removed, the emperor becomes the emperor?
Whether the emperor is a real emperor does not depend on whether the ministers are sitting or kneeling, but on whether the emperor can kill people with a sword!
You kill people casually, do you care if you kneel or sit?
"I have already said that the Military Aircraft Department is not a court or a cabinet. There are not many rules. Just raise my chair."
Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "There are chairs and stools in the middle so that the ministers can sit down and rest when they are tired."
Yin Zhi opened his mouth. What he actually wanted to say was, you gave your ministers power, but you can't get it back. You can kill people, but your descendants may not be able to kill people!
However, he didn't think deeply about it.
When Zhu Qiyu wanted to take back military power, he always had to offer something to trade. Since Taizu established the Ming Dynasty, the power of ministers has been tightly controlled by the military power.
Zhu Qiyu wanted to use a little ministerial power to exchange for the support of the cabinet and get back military power. As for Yu Qian's return, the flood will be monstrous. Let's solve it when the time comes.
At least the name of justice must be established. Military power nominally belongs to the emperor and is in the hands of the Military Aircraft Department!
"Let's make it custom-made."
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you, does the memorial issued by the military aircraft office go through the cabinet?" Liu Jue asked in a low voice.
Zhu Qiyu just wanted to say that he would not pass it, but then he thought, if he did not pass it, the cabinet would definitely disagree.
His plan was ruined.
"After passing, the special memorial must be approved by the cabinet, and no obstruction is allowed." Zhu Qiyu added another sentence, and felt that it was almost done. Let's leave the rest to the court to argue.
In fact, after all, it is just an exchange of interests.
Liu Jue still wanted to ask.
"Liu Jue, write what I said into a memorial and send it to the cabinet for discussion tomorrow morning." Zhu Qiyu gave a clear time for the civil servants to discuss a bargaining chip. It is nothing more than business. I will see if it is suitable. If so, It doesn’t hurt to give it to you.
He whispered to Feng Xiao: "Xuan Xiaobo and Yue Zheng are here to see you."
"My slave obeys the order!"
"Come back, tell Zhang Feng and Xiang Wenyao to come, and keep them apart."
These two are Yu Qian's people.
Li Xian and Wang Zhi are busy fighting for power and gain. If they are given some benefits, they should be able to settle the matter. As long as they persuade Hu Hui and Yu Qian, the Military Aircraft Department will spread the word throughout the country.
As soon as Feng Xiao left, Qin Chang came in with his body bent: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Shu has submitted a memorial."
Zhu Qiyu took it and glanced around: "Just do whatever you have to do. From now on, I will be here to review the memorial. Bring me the ink pen!"
Opening the memorial presented by Shu Liang, Zhu Qiyu frowned.
The memorial stated that some of the stolen treasures from Liku were found in Chen Xun’s home!
There is also a large amount of silver. According to the steward, the silver was brought into the house recently. Shu Liang speculated that it was the money obtained from reselling Liku's treasure.
240,000 taels of silver were confiscated from Chen Xun's home.
Based on the unrecovered Liku treasures, it is estimated that the Liku treasures were sold for 180,000 taels, and Chen Xun's family only had 60,000 taels of silver.
"Something's wrong!"
Zhu Qiyu thought it was such a coincidence that he searched Chen Xun's house and found treasures in the treasury?
Even if it was really Chen Xun who stole the treasure, would Chen Xun be stupid enough to hide it in his own home after stealing it? He sold the stolen goods openly and arrogantly and brought the silver into his own house. Is he a shit-eating official?
This is the most obvious frame-up.
On the contrary, it shows that the treasure in Liku was not stolen by Chen Xun.
"Meet Xuan Shuliang!"
Zhu Qiyu stood up, walked out of the military aircraft office, and walked into the Qinzheng Hall.
The official who was dealing with the memorial put down his pen and ink, knelt on the ground, and respectfully presented it to the emperor.
Shu Liang was waiting outside the palace. At this moment, he entered the Qinzheng Hall with red eyes.
"How many days have you not rested?" Zhu Qiyu glanced at him and gave him a cup of ginseng tea.
"My slave, thank you for the tea."
Shu Liang knelt on the ground, took a sip, and said some nice words to show his loyalty.
"Let's get down to business, what do you think about the house raids?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"This slave thinks it's a frame-up." Shu Liang said firmly.
"tell me the story."
Shu Liang kowtowed before standing up: "After asking the servants in Chen Xun's house, they all know the treasures in the treasury. It seems that these treasures were not stolen, but given by the emperor. This is very unusual."
"Another point is that the soil where the silver is hidden is new and the method is very rough."
"So I suspect this is a frame-up."
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "Are there any clues on the silver?"
"Your Majesty is suspicious of the silver in the inner transport warehouse? My servant also checked and found that there is no engraving on the silver." Shu Liang replied.
It’s so rough, but it still needs to be done.
What's the meaning?
Treat people like fools?
"Your Majesty, I think this servant has run out of skills..."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "It's impossible, there must be another purpose. Let's check again. I want to see what kind of magical powers this Zhang Fu has!"
"This slave has a plan. Your Majesty can tell Princess Changde about it. You will know after just asking."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him: "It's too insidious. Changde is my imperial sister after all...Okay, let's go to the palace. Just say that the empress dowager is sick and misses the princess. Let the princess come to serve the empress dowager."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Shu Liang said with a bad smile: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is no need to guess what their intentions are. As long as they hold Princess Changde, Zhang Fu will not be able to escape."
"Don't look at me with such sinister eyes. I am a benevolent king! How could I harm my own sister?" Zhu Qiyu was very angry and pushed him away.
"Yes, yes, it's all slaves who are insidious, slaves who are insidious." Shu Liang knelt on the ground to apologize, actually smiling.
Zhu Qiyu was so angry that he kicked him.
Shu Liang smiled and knelt on the ground, his smile narrowing.
"That's all, let me bear the infamy. With your small body, it's not easy for you to carry a Dongchang. I'll protect you from the wind and rain. Anyway, I have the reputation of being a benevolent gentleman... Why are you laughing? Aren't I a benevolent gentleman?" "
Zhu Qiyu was very angry. Shu Liang is really not big or small, he dared to laugh at me!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me. You will be a benevolent king for eternity!" Shu Liang seemed to be coaxing a fool.
"go away!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious: "Let's get down to business! What's going on with the families of those guilty officials?"
"The report to the Emperor is also a frame-up. This Chen Shoufu was once smart but confused for a while, and was played around by Zhang Fu."
Shu Liang restrained his playfulness and showed a serious expression.
He thought it was too hard for the emperor. He had never really smiled since he seized the throne. He was even very cautious about food and clothing. It was really too hard.
So he wanted to make the emperor happy. When Wang Cheng left the capital, he reminded him to make the emperor happy. He was worried about getting sick and might hurt his body.
"I think that Chen Xun's staff were bribed by Zhang Fu, so they were treated like monkeys."
"My servant captured two staff members and one of them ran away."
"That person's surname is Yao. He is the official candidate for the seventh year of Zhengtong. He is Chen Xun's guest." Shu Liang said.
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Yao what?"
"Yao Ping."
Zhu Qiyu had no impression of this juren, but the trend of re-employing his master had already emerged at this time.
"Did you find it?"
Shu Liang smiled bitterly: "Back to the Emperor, this person is probably nowhere to be found. Either he changed his identity and left the capital, or he was silenced. I think the latter is more likely."
"Zhang Fu is not in the capital, but he can control major events in the capital. It's really scary." Zhu Qiyu looked worried.
Shu Liang knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I already have a clue."
"Wang Ao's wife revealed that on the night when Wang Ao was executed, a group of people took them out of the house. She described the man's face and the servant has caught him!"
"It's still under interrogation. I think it won't be long before I can follow the clues and catch more people!"
"As long as Zhang Fu's people are still in the capital, I guarantee that they will be captured within ten days! None of them can escape!"
Zhu Qiyu stood up with an excited expression: "Okay! Ten days! Okay Shu Liang! You don't have to send the money to protect Fu to the palace, all of it will be used to expand the East Factory! Shu Liang, I knew you could do it!"
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness!" Shu Liang knelt down and bowed.
"Remember, if you want to cultivate your confidants, you don't need to be afraid of impeachment in court. I will give you the complete answer."
"You have to take advantage of the opportunity of collecting protection taxes and insert Fanzi into the market."
"You are my eyes, what you see is what I see!"
"You are also my hand, and you have to do whatever I want to deal with!"
"Don't be afraid of spending money, I will find a way to raise money."
"Shu Liang, you must always remember that the more memorials there are to impeach Dongchang, the safer you are and the safer I am!"
"The greater the power of Dongchang, the more I can sleep peacefully every day!"
Zhu Qiyu reminded him: "Whether I can sleep or not depends entirely on you!"
"This slave obeys the Holy Order!"
Shu Liang knelt on the ground: "I will definitely strengthen the power of Dongchang, so that everything in Gyeonggi will be in the eyes of the emperor and in the hands of the emperor!"
"Okay! Let's do it!" Zhu Qiyu helped him up and patted his shoulder hard.
He wanted to use military aircraft to seize the power of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, which would probably lead to another bloody storm. Therefore, the first thing he had to do was to protect his own safety.
The palace remains as it is for the time being, and no unimportant people are allowed to enter the palace.
Outside the palace, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, Tiqi and Imperial Guards echoed and checked each other.
It is easy to block an open spear, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.
He could kill Chen Xun, but he didn't know when a hidden arrow would fly out and take his life.
Therefore, the enemies hidden underwater are the most terrifying.
The emperor is easily soluble in water, which is not a lie.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao Ge and others are here." Feng Xiao interrupted Zhu Qiyu's thoughts.
Zhu Qiyu sighed softly: "Feng Xiao."
"Although the admiral eunuchs of the Military Aircraft Department are not as prestigious as the admiral eunuchs of the ceremonial department."
"But this will become the most important department in the world."
"In the future, he will be ranked alongside the cabinet and higher than the ceremonial supervisor."
"That's why I don't give you the power of admiral. It's for your own good."
Zhu Qiyu was worried that Feng Xiao had a gap in his heart, so he reminded him specifically.
"My slave understands!" Feng Xiao knelt on the ground.
"If you want to be alone, tell me and I will help you." Zhu Qiyu always pays attention to the thoughts of people around him.
People's hearts are unpredictable, and his life is in the hands of the people around him, so he tries his best to satisfy their desire for power without being too harsh on them. The most important thing is to supervise and check and balance each other.
If you are given a favor, you should also wear a splint.
Deep down, he didn't believe anyone.
"My slave, thank you for your grace!" Feng Xiao kowtowed.
"Get up and let Xiao Tan come in." Zhu Qiyu comforted Feng Xiao.
Soon, Xiao Tan and Yue Zheng came to see him.
"Without courtesy, I will give you a seat."
Looking at Xiao Tan, Zhu Qiyu felt a little amused. This old man used to be a straight-laced person, but now he has become a yes-man. He speaks when he is told to speak and shuts up when he is told. He seems to be frightened.
He was so frightened by the blood that he went crazy.
What a waste.
"Xiao Aiqing, what do you think of Chen Xun's death?" Zhu Qiyu was straightforward.
Xiao Tan's heart skipped a beat and tears burst into his eyes.
Lying on the ground: "I don't dare to have any ideas. I am not feeling well now. Please give me your grace and allow me to resign and return home."
"Xiao Aiqing, stop making trouble. Now that the court is troubled, you still have to stay in the court to help me."
"My energy is really low, I am sick with worry and anger, and my body is useless. I beg your majesty, please let me return home to rest." Xiao Tan was really frightened.
From the death of Gao Gu to the death of Chen Xun, how long it took for the court to undergo earth-shaking changes.
In the past, the prevailing trend in the DPRK was to regard the emperor as a mascot.
Now, everything must be reported to the emperor.
He was worried that if they waited for a while, those of them who were in the corpse position would be kicked out of the court by the emperor.
The emperor's actions were too fast, cruel and decisive, and he did not hesitate to put himself in danger.
Such an emperor will either dissolve in water or become an emperor for eternity.
Anyway, there will be no good consequences if you follow such an emperor.
"Old love, do you really have the heart to abandon me?" Zhu Qiyu was a little anxious. If Xiao Yi resigned and he had no suitable candidate to join the cabinet, wouldn't it be an advantage to others?
"Your Majesty, I am really helpless."
Xiao Fan took out the memorial he had written, held it high, and knelt on the ground.
Zhu Qiyu suddenly stopped smiling and said in a cold voice: "Does Xiao Aiqing want to follow in Chen Xun's footsteps? That's all, I agree."
Xiao Hao trembled all over, and his face instantly turned pale: "Your Majesty..."
"Go out, I allow you to return home!" Zhu Qiyu was really angry. He called you "Aiqing", did he really treat himself as a human being?
"Your Majesty, I made a mistake. I didn't sleep well last night. I was in a daze and said the wrong thing. Please forgive me!" Xiao Tan shivered with fear.
To follow in Chen Xun's footsteps is to die!
"You can sleep forever when you return home." Zhu Qiyu said coldly.
Is this... still death?
Xiao Yi kowtowed, and Yue Zheng beside him was also trembling, not daring to speak for Xiao Yi.
Yue Zheng was also very embarrassed in the cabinet. He was promoted because of his lack of qualifications, and was left to his own devices.
It's not even as good as wood-plastic with a clay body, it's still sandwiched in the middle and suffers from plywood.
"Yue Zheng, help Xiao Tan up and ask him to step back."
Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "I have approved your resignation. There is no need to go through the process of giving in and resigning three times. You can pack your things and go directly."
Go down? Where to go? Go to hell?
Xiao Tan's body went limp, he fell to the ground, and he burst into tears: "Your Majesty, I know my mistake! As long as I can serve you in front of your majesty, even if I am not allowed to be the elder of the pavilion, I will never complain. I only want to serve your majesty in this life. !”
These words were extremely disgusting. Over the years, Xiao Tan thought he was innocent. He had been admonishing Yan Zhijing for many years and was pursuing the goal of lasting fame.
But I didn't expect that as I got older, I actually became a sycophant.
"Those who want to serve me, like the crucian carp crossing the river, there is no shortage of you Xiao Tan!" Zhu Qiyu shouted coldly: "Bring me the imperial pen!"
Feng Xiao immediately went to get the imperial pen.
"Your Majesty, I am really confused and said the wrong thing. I am still a cabinet minister. I only listen to your Majesty's words and become your majesty's loyal dog!" Xiao Tan nodded his head and cried bitterly.
After all, he had been a cabinet minister for many years and understood the emperor's thoughts, so the emperor asked him to serve as a clay-body wood sculpture in the cabinet, waiting to make way for those who would come after him.
That's why the emperor was furious when he said he wanted to leave the cabinet.
"My dog, not everyone can do it!"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Lin Cong threatened to be my dog. I told him that Genghis Khan had four dogs. Ask yourself, is it like Zhe Farewell? Is it like Kublai Lai?"
"Not as good as anything! Far worse than that!"
"Do you think that dog is a contemptuous term? Wrong! Dogs are the most loyal. You are not qualified to be my dog!"
Does that mean you are worse than a dog?
Xiao Tan cried even more fiercely. Isn't it even more ironic that no one will accept him if he wants to be a dog now that he is old?
Snapped!
Zhu Qiyu smashed the memorial into Xiao Yi's face: "Stop crying! You look like a woman, and your posture is worthy of being my dog? You still have a long way to go, Xiao Yi!"
"That's all. Seeing that you have worked hard in the past, I will spare your life!"
"Don't be ignorant in the future!"
"Remember, this world belongs to me, and it is a very honorable thing to be my dog!"
I just spoiled you!
When the Tatars come, won't you just kneel down?
I am just being merciful, otherwise I will cut you all open, replace them with a bunch of dogs, and put them in the court, the sun will rise as usual, and the world will move as usual!
"Old minister, thank you for your kindness!" Xiao Hao stopped crying, but his face was filled with sadness.
That splash of blood extinguished the passion in his heart and made him numb. Now he has succumbed to being a dog and lost his character as a scholar. He is unworthy of a sage!
"Get up." Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Tan must stay and wait until he has a new candidate before kicking him out of the capital.
Xiao Tan wiped his tears and stood up tremblingly.
"Xiao Tan." Zhu Qiyu called his name.
With a pop, Xiao Tan knelt on the ground.
He was shocked.
Zhu Qiyu rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "Get up! You are a cabinet minister and the backbone of the Ming Dynasty. I have not asked you to kneel, so you are not allowed to kneel! I have asked you to kneel, but you must kneel! Do you understand?"
"Old minister, I understand." Xiao Tan got up and cried.
waste.
"The cabinet is an extension of the imperial power. When my imperial edict reaches the cabinet, it is also an imperial edict!" Zhu Qiyu reminded Xiao Ban.
"I understand, everything the Holy One said is right! I agree!" Xiao Tan turned a corner.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Yue Zheng.
Yue Zheng maintained his kneeling position and said loudly: "Your Majesty is the Ming Lord in the world. I am willing to serve the Ming Lord for the rest of my life. On the way to becoming your Majesty's loyal dog, I will die exhausted!"
Look, this is a smart man!
"Dogs are valued for their loyalty. Mastiffs are also dogs. Just understand."
Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with him: "Tell me, who do you have in mind to recommend to me?"
Yue Zheng's eyes lit up, the emperor wanted to cultivate party members for him.
Xiao Fan was just about to say that it was not appropriate to form a party, but he quickly stopped talking, wishing to slap himself in the face. You are no longer a pure man, you are the emperor's lackey, an imperial party! Are you stupid if you don’t form a party?
They recommended several cabinet officials, and Zhu Qiyu promoted them generously.
"Xiao Aiqing, can your son Xiao Jin pass the Jinshi examination?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Reporting to your majesty, I passed the exam and am a Jinshi in the 13th year of orthodoxy. I am still practicing in the local area."
"It's been almost ten years, right? Join the General Affairs Department. I want to make full use of the General Affairs Department, which will be of great benefit to his future." Zhu Qiyu threw a pie out.
Xiao Tan knelt down to thank him.
"Yue Zheng, your brother Yue Duan was also a Jinshi, so he should also join the General Administration Department." Zhu Qiyu actually valued Yue Zheng very much. Yue Zheng would have a great son-in-law in the future, that is, Li Dongyang.
Send away Xiao Tan and Yue Zheng.
Taking advantage of the break, Zhu Qiyu drank the medicine and took a nap.
Zhang Feng and Xiang Wenyao arrived.
Zhang Feng was worried and glanced around cautiously. Is there anyone dead in Qinzheng Hall today? How strange?
"I didn't kill anyone." Zhu Qiyu said angrily.
"I never meant this." Zhang Feng knelt down to apologize.
"Get up and relax in Qinzheng Hall."
"Although this Qinzheng Hall is called Qinzheng Hall, it was rebuilt from Xinuang Pavilion and is not really a palace. Let's just call it that."
"I don't want Qin Tianjian to nag me endlessly, so I just changed it."
"What do you think of my calligraphy, which I personally inscribed?" Zhu Qiyu talked to them in a normal way, getting closer to them.
Zhang Feng knew the emperor very well. The emperor showed weakness and asked for help.
"Your Majesty's calligraphy is naturally excellent." Zhang Feng also learned to be smart and started chatting.
Zhu Qiyu changed the names of each palace and wrote the inscriptions himself.
As for Qin Tianjian, do you dare to say shit and want to follow in the footsteps of Chen Xun?
"Two beloved ministers, I am ordering you to come here because there is an undecided matter." Zhu Qiyu asked Feng Xiao to hand over the memorial written by Liu Jue to Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng's expression changed after reading it and he handed it to Xiang Wenyao to read.
The two men looked at each other and understood that the emperor wanted to take away the military power of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance and needs to be discussed in the morning. Besides, I am the Minister of Rites, so this matter is not under my control."
Zhang Feng complained that the emperor had removed his minister of household affairs, and he was dissatisfied.
"My dear sir, the court is undergoing a major change that has not happened in decades. The various ministers come and go like a horse."
Zhu Qiyu thought about it and said that he was unwilling to give up the Ministry of Household Affairs.
It was hard to get it, unless Zhang Feng was willing to turn his head.
The possibility is slim. Don't look at the emperor's joy, it is because Yu Qian is not in the capital. If Yu Qian is in the capital, Yu Qian and Hu Hui come together, and the emperor will be honest every minute.
That's why Zhu Qiyu jumped around desperately and tried his best to take back power, which meant Qian Qian came back.
Zhu Qiyu didn't let Zhang Feng join the cabinet. That would be a slap in Zhang Feng's face. In the dispute between the cabinet and the cabinet, the six ministries and the cabinet were at odds. If Zhang Feng joined the cabinet, was he surrendering? Or a spy?
Zhang Feng didn't answer.
"That's all, let's transfer Ye Sheng to the Ministry of Rites and Zhang Qing back to the Ministry of Household Affairs." Zhu Qiyu gritted his teeth and decided to leave the Ministry of Household Affairs.
In order to regain military power, he also risked his life.
Zhang Feng's eyes flashed. It would be good to be the Minister of Household Affairs. Now that the emperor is asking for something from him, shouldn't he ask for more?
"If I want to re-appoint the General Affairs Department, the sons of Zhang Qing and Xiang Qing can join the General Affairs Department." Zhu Qiyu looked at him eagerly.
Zhang Feng is still not satisfied.
Zhu Qiyu frowned, this Zhang Feng was a bit over the top!
Yu Qian is not in the capital. If I cut off his wings, would he really dare to send troops to attack the capital?
Zhang Feng trembled inexplicably, and he saw the emperor's murderous eyes.
My heart ached, could the emperor do business? It's normal for you to ask for a high price and I pay back the money. How can you be like this? You don't ask for the price and don't bargain, but just put the knife on the person's neck! You are really not afraid of being slaughtered, but you still let me live!
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness!" Zhang Feng knelt on the ground.
He didn't dare to bargain anymore. The emperor was about to take out his knife and surrender.
No one has died in Qinzheng Hall today. If he continues to be verbose, he will be the one to be sacrificed!
This palace is so evil, I won’t even come here even if I’m beaten to death!
accepted?
Zhu Qiyu was stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Feng to be so easy to talk to. I have the Emperor's Sword ready.
He immediately laughed and said: "My dear, please get up quickly. My imperial edict will be issued soon. You are still the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
"Xiang Qing?"
Zhu Qiyu looked at Xiang Wenyao. This man was already the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel, and there was really no way to make any further arrangements.
"Your Majesty, I have just been promoted to Zuo Shilang. I have not yet contributed to the country. I dare not ask for an official position. I only ask your Majesty to train my ministers and train them to become talents. I would like to thank your Majesty in advance!" Xiang Wenyao is very sensible.
He knew that he could not be promoted, so he simply gave the benefits to his son instead of making it difficult for the emperor. He was a smart man.
"Xiang Qing knows the general situation so well. I think my son will be good. I will take special care of him." Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied.
Getting Zhang Feng's support is tantamount to getting Yu Qian's lineage.
As long as Hu Xi is persuaded and the military aircraft department takes over power, it will be done.
Send away Zhang Feng and Xiang Wenyao.
Zhu Qiyu went to the military aircraft office to review the memorial.
I was in a good mood all afternoon.
It was getting dark, and Zhu Qiyu asked Feng Xiao: "Counting the days, Uncle Nan He should have arrived in Beijing. Why hasn't he arrived yet? Is there an accident?"
"Your Majesty, there is no news yet. I think there will be no accident. Nan Hebo and Shi Shangshu will lead a thousand people back to the capital quickly. The thieves on the way may not dare to rob."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Let the cabinet issue another imperial edict to Ye Sheng, and Ye Sheng will be transferred to the Minister of Rites."
"I will not go to Chengqian Palace tonight. I will ask the imperial concubine to come to Qianqing Palace to serve you."
"By the way, I'll go to court tomorrow morning. There are important events coming in. I haven't had a good rest recently, so I'll go to bed early tomorrow."
Zhu Qiyu stretched his waist.
The main reason was that they had not negotiated a good deal with Hu Hui. They had already sent someone to invite Hu Hui, but Hu Hui was still busy with the auction and could not leave.
After the deal is concluded, the final decision can be made directly the day after tomorrow, saving you all the fuss.
Zhu Qiyu took off his dragon robe and moved around in the palace. In addition to conditioning and nourishing his body, he also needed to exercise properly.
Feng Xiao looked confused at the emperor's strange movement method.
"This is a great way to exercise that I figured out, so I closed the door and practiced by myself." Zhu Qiyu explained.
"Feng Xiao, are there any skilled craftsmen in the palace?" Zhu Qiyu pondered over and over again. The trick to make money was to light up the technology tree.
"There are some in the Bing Zhan Bureau and the Bank Work Bureau."
"Gather it together tomorrow and let me see if it can be used." Zhu Qiyu wanted to invent something.
But he also knew one thing: inventing something like this didn't happen in a day.
For example, glass is fired with sand. Small pieces of glass have appeared in this era, but they cannot be made into large pieces. How to make large pieces requires craftsmen to study, and Zhu Qiyu needs to provide research and development costs.
But he just wanted to make money, so he made small inventions.
And making inventions requires a lot of financial investment. It is simply a vicious circle. Let’s take it one step at a time.
After exercising, Zhu Qiyu took a bath and rested.
In the early morning, Feng Xiao's voice sounded outside the door: "Rise at dawn, all opportunities are waiting for you, work diligently and love the people, and do everything with your hands!"
"Your Majesty, do you have a morning court today?" Concubine Tang opened her eyes in confusion.
"no?"
Zhu Qiyu opened his eyelids: "Feng Xiao, get in!"
With a creak, the door opened, and Feng Xiao fell to the ground: "Greetings to the Emperor, I have no choice but to wake him up."
"What happened?" Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes.
He knew that Feng Xiao was not an unreasonable person, and something must have happened if he woke him up so early in the morning.
"Before dawn, a report came from Xuanzhen. Your Majesty..." Feng Xiao hesitated.
"Say!" Zhu Qiyu sat up.
"Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief of Xuanzhen, Yang Xin, sent a battle report. Our army was defeated and Xing'an Bo died in the battle!"
"What?"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly woke up and stretched out his hand to read the memorial.
After taking one look, he immediately became furious: "How could an army of more than 100,000 people be defeated? The Beijing camp brought an army of 50,000 people to rush for reinforcements, but they couldn't defend the Xuanfu?"
Feng Xiao lay on the ground, not daring to answer.
"When was it delivered?"
"Your Majesty, it's still dark, so I don't dare to disturb your majesty's sleep..."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes wanted to kill someone, but Feng Xiao didn't dare to say any more.
He exhaled a breath: "That's all, you are doing it for my own good. I don't blame you, but there won't be another time. No matter when the next time is, the report from the front line must be submitted to me as soon as possible!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness!" Feng Xiao kowtowed.
"Wait for me to change my clothes."
Zhu Qiyu's good mood disappeared without a trace. He was puzzled. How could Yang Xin lose?
"My beloved concubine, please go to sleep. I have to go to Fengtian Palace." Zhu Qiyu comforted Concubine Tang.
"I have prepared breakfast for you to wait for your Majesty to come back." Tang Guifei did not dare to say anything else.
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Convene all officials to discuss matters in Fengtian Hall."
