What the emperor meant was that the war in Liaodong could not affect the cleanup of Shandong and Xuanzhen.
"Your Majesty, the top priority is how to arrange the Kong family!"
Hu Hu left the team and said: "Once a war breaks out in Liaodong, the Kong family cannot move there, and the Kong family must not be placed under the enemy's front."
"I am worried that the Karaqin Hui abandoned the Liaodong military town to hunt the Kong family. How will the court explain to the world then?"
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "What do you think, old lady?"
"Suspend relocation and stay in Shandong."
"No!" Zhu Qiyu said decisively: "I have already sent an order to Lin Cong, ordering him to move quickly without delay!"
The courtiers figured out that the emperor was determined to move to Kong.
Is Liaodong really that good?
What's the use of growing food in a bitter cold land?
"Your Majesty, the Liaodong army is already stretched thin. How can we concentrate on protecting the Kong family?"
"We are not in a fight to the death with the Tatars."
"If anything happens to the Kong family, we will have to fight to the death!"
Hu Hui said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is not worth it to let the world be in chaos just for the sake of one family."
The court has always opposed the relocation of the Kong family.
The land in Liaodong is really bad. Even if it occupies the south of Shenyang and has a warm climate, grain must be transferred from the south every year, so it cannot support too many people.
Further north, there is no way to grow food, and there is another plain. Once you grow food, you also need to guard against plunder from the north, and you need to recruit a large army to protect you. How much will it cost?
After all, the country is an economic account.
"Instruct Jiao Sheng, the commander of the Gaizhou Guards, to set aside a place to temporarily house the Kong family!"
Zhu Qiyu chose Gaizhou because Gaizhou was the core of Liaodong, far away from the front line and far away from pirates.
Gaizhou Guard Commander Jiao Sheng is also Jiao Li's brother. Jiao Li is in the capital, so he doesn't dare to make any mistakes, so he can rest assured.
"Your Majesty..." Hu Xi still wanted to say.
"Okay, what we are discussing today is not the Kong family. The Kong family has tens of thousands of people. It doesn't matter if a few of them die."
"I will bear the insults."
"Anyway, the scholars from Jiangnan have already described me as a tyrant and a coward."
"If you add another crime, it's just too much. I don't have a good reputation anyway!"
Zhu Qiyu became angry when he mentioned it.
He sent the factory guards to Jiangnan, and the literati who should be arrested disappeared immediately. Wherever the factory guards were, the literati here disappeared. Fierce infamy spread from other counties. The factory guards failed again every time.
Zhu Qiyu had to endure this bad breath.
His sphere of influence is too small. He will visit Nanjing in the morning and evening to see how he tortures the Jiangnan gentry!
"My lords, the war in Liaodong is about to begin, and I don't want to cause any complications."
"But don't force me."
"If I am driven into a panic, I will forcefully conquer Dingkou in the south of the Yangtze River to fill Shandong!"
"Anyone who doesn't come will be killed!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed coldly: "I can bear this tone, and I can bear this infamy! So what can I do?"
"I am waiting for death!" The courtiers knelt on the ground and shouted that they were guilty.
"Everyone, get up. It has nothing to do with you."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Let's continue the discussion. Although the situation in Liaodong is just Li Xian's guess for the time being, the court should prepare for a rainy day."
Hu Ming was about to speak but stopped, and finally turned into a long sigh.
He could not change His Majesty's determination.
"Your Majesty, I thought that I would order Yu Taibao to go north quickly to guard against Liaodong." Bai Gui said loudly.
"Shandong has not yet been cleaned up. Officials are sent to Beijing every day. How can we give up halfway? Now that we have done it, we must do it to the end!" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sinister.
"But Liaodong is important after all." Bai Gui said.
Zhu Qiyu ignored him and looked at Geng Jiuchou: "Have you contacted the Jurchens?"
"Your Majesty, I am worried that the Jurchens will take the opportunity to plunder Liaodong!"
Geng Jiuchou said bluntly: "Weichen and Honglu Temple sent two groups of envoys."
"The Jurchen side was vague. They only said that they would expand the Fushun horse market, but they did not promise to send troops."
"Obviously trying to please both sides."
"If the Jurchens are not reliable, I am worried that Wu Liangha will also take the opportunity to rob the Ming Dynasty! Make money!"
Zhu Qiyu frowned and sneered: "I didn't think of Wu Liangha as a toy before. How dare they plunder it?"
"However, you must be on guard!"
"Relying on others will never help, we have to rely on ourselves!"
"You have to defend the Ming Dynasty on your own!"
"When Yu Qian goes north, who can succeed him in plowing Shandong?"
Zhu Qiyu looked at the courtiers.
"Your Majesty, there are not many troops in the capital, so we can no longer mobilize them." Hu Hui was worried that the emperor would continue to send troops out of the capital.
Zhu Qiyu immediately understood what Hu Hui meant and wanted to mobilize the troops in Henan.
But the Henan Preparatory Army was used to intimidate the capital and intimidate the south, and could not be mobilized easily.
Moreover, when he ordered the kings of the world to enter the capital, they also needed to prepare troops to deter him.
After discussing it for a long time, there was no conclusion.
"Old Master, Zhang Gu's regiment has nothing to do in the capital, so why not transfer it out of the capital." Zhu Qiyu immediately pointed the finger at the civilian army.
Letting civilian officials take charge of an army of ten thousand people is to firstly calm the hearts of civilians and secondly to check and balance the noble ministers.
Only through civil and military checks and balances can his throne be stable.
Hu Hui's expression changed. He had an army of 10,000 people, and the civil servants were suppressed by the emperor like this. Without the army, would they still have a way to survive?
"Your Majesty, Zhang Gu's regiment has not yet distributed weapons and has not drilled. How can they go into battle?"
Zhang Feng stood up and spoke bluntly: "Wei Chen believes that we can only mobilize the Bei Cao Army in Henan. Your Majesty can order the Bei Cao Army to garrison the capital camp, and then order the Bai Qian and Bei Wei armies to go to Shandong to replace Yu Taibao."
The civil servants took a step back and prepared troops to enter Beijing.
Doesn't the emperor want to seize the military power in the world? He might as well move the Bei Cao army under his nose and seize the general's heart.
Hu Hui glared at him, "You are really worried that the world will not be in chaos."
The emperor wants to plow the world and completely control the people's hearts. Everyone knows it.
But when Shandong, Xuanzhen, and Hetao were not in peace, you forced Henan into the emperor's hands, hoping to support the emperor to death. This is a conspiracy.
Zhu Qiyu looked at him deeply.
"Bei Caojun cannot move for the time being!"
Zhu Qiyu naturally saw Zhang Feng's thoughts. I swallowed the bait and didn't take the bait. What can you do?
"It is a critical moment for all the kings of the world to enter the capital. Henan is located in the middle of the world. We have prepared an army to control the world. We cannot act rashly."
"The grain transport army in Tongzhou can't move either!"
"But a small war in the border town doesn't need to make people panic."
"Simply, just transfer the Bai Qian and Bei Wei armies out of the capital, and the capital will be guarded by the Nine Admirals' Mansion. There are still guards and horse troops in the court, plus Zhang Gu's people, which is enough to guard the capital. .”
Zhu Qiyu wants to wait for the kings of the world to enter the capital, and then mobilize the Henan Bei Cao army to station in the capital camp to suppress the kings of the world with a large army!
"Your Majesty, the capital is already very empty with less than 100,000 guards!"
Hu Xi knelt down and said: "If we transfer another 30,000 people, a mere 50,000 people, how will we be able to guard the capital? Your Majesty must not forget that although Wala is heading west, it is not impossible for him to go south and threaten the capital."
"Let the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion recruit soldiers!"
Hu Xing just wanted to persuade, but Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "I don't plan to send the army led by Yu Qian back to Beijing. The regiment led by Chen Fu is left to guard Shandong and will not be transferred back."
"The capital is already empty, so it is imperative to expand the Nine Gates Admiral's Palace."
"Why not, take the opportunity to recruit soldiers, put them into training, and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible!"
really!
The emperor sent Yu Qian out, but he had no intention of letting Yu Qian come back with his troops!
With the Beijing camp under Yu Qian as the core, he recruited 100,000 troops in Liaodong to defend Siping City, becoming a sandbag for the Tatars, Jurchens, and Uliangha.
After Liaodong was pacified, an imperial decree ordered Yu Qian to come back.
The military strength that Yu Qian had worked so hard to manage was completely reduced by the emperor.
If Yu Qian doesn't want to return to Beijing, he can only rebel in Siping City. Who lives in Siping City? That's the Kong family. Does the Kong family dare to participate in the rebellion?
Most people would never dare to think about using the Kong family to check and balance Yu Qian.
What a wonderful move the emperor made!
From the moment Yu Qian was kicked out of Beijing, the layout began. Yu Qian thought he had obtained military power, and he held on to it and refused to let go.
In fact, that is a trap!
If you jump in, your reputation will be lost, your posthumous reputation will be gone, and you may even lose your power.
If you want to climb out, you have to either become the emperor's dog or die bearing the infamy.
At this moment, Hu Hui was inexplicably scared.
What frightened him the most was that his son Hu Xi, holding the Emperor's Sword, stood beside Yu Qian.
As long as Yu Qian has the slightest disobedience, the Tianzi Sword will cut it off, and Yu Qian's good head will become the qualifications for his son Hu Xi's promotion.
Hu Wei represents not the emperor, but him, Hu Hui.
The two mainstays of the DPRK and China were actually completely at odds when Hu Xi was sent to the capital.
The scary thing is that neither Hu Hui nor Yu Qian realized it.
In fact, from the moment Yu Qian left the capital, civil servants had no chance of victory!
The emperor seemed violent and diligent, but in fact it was just a disguise. Everything he did was to firmly hold on to the imperial power.
"Old Master, do you have any objections?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked.
Hu Xi shivered.
He slowly lowered his head and slowly knelt on the ground. His voice was old and helpless: "Your Majesty is wise, I have no objection."
The courtiers were all confused. Why did Hu Hui suddenly become soft again?
"Okay, the Military Aircraft Department has issued an imperial edict, ordering the Nine Admirals' Mansion to recruit an additional 50,000 soldiers and recruit more good families!"
Recruiting gangsters is out of necessity.
Military battles are based on cooperation rather than individual bravery. A good man is a member of the property class, with a family and a career. Such people will not defect in battle.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Hu Bi and raised the corners of his mouth.
It's just that you still have a glimmer of hope in your heart. You and Yu Qian together can't control me!
Yu Qian had military power and prestige, but when he returned to Beijing, he was alone.
Otherwise, I will not allow him to return to Beijing.
"The Beiwei Army has always been under the control of veteran generals Chen You, Mao Sheng, and Ren Li. There is no commander-in-chief. This time we go on an expedition, we need to set up a commander-in-chief. I plan to make Xiang Zhong the commander-in-chief of the Beiwei Army!"
No one expected that the emperor would give power to civil servants.
But Hu Hui saw clearly that the emperor did not use veteran generals, but promoted upstarts and replaced the old with new ones.
As for promoting civil servants, don't think too much. Wait until Xiang Zhong has made military exploits and it's time for him to be knighted.
Another point is to use Fang Ying and Xiang Zhong to check and balance Yu Qian.
If you think about it more deeply, why are you splitting up Fang Ying and Li Zhen?
The emperor's thoughts are deep.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The ministers bowed in obeisance.
"Zhang Gu's regiment now only has 10,000 people. It will be filled up immediately. I will give you the military number, Jie Fan. From now on, I will call myself the Jie Fan Army!"
Zhu Qiyu wrote two big characters and gave them to Zhang Gu.
Always give the courtiers some sweetness.
However, this Jiefan Army was the army of Soochow and had a very small reputation in history, which shows that the emperor had low expectations for it.
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness!" Zhang Gu knelt on the ground. It is always a good thing to have more military power.
But Hu Hui, Zhang Feng and others were not happy at all.
"After the Jiefan Army has completed its campaign, it will be stationed in the capital camp." Zhu Qiyu kicked the Jiefan Army away again.
The joy on Zhang Gu's face solidified: "I obey the order!"
Zhu Qiyu directly sent an order to Bai Qi and Bei Wei armies to purge the army and march into Shandong three days later.
"My lords, this is the locust plague book compiled by Geng Yu. What do you think?" Zhu Qiyu asked the eunuch to send the book to them.
Nian Fu, who had just entered the court, served as the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
He immediately laughed and said, "Master Geng is quite interesting. He actually drew it in this way and it hit the nail on the head."
"It just lacks some literary talent." Yu Shan said with a smile.
"This is Your Majesty's method. It can make illiterate farmers understand. This locust plague book is meant to warn the people. It would be better if the people can understand it." Geng Jiuchou said loudly.
The hall was suddenly filled with shouts of long live.
Yu Shan was embarrassed. He said he had no literary talent. Wasn't he scolding the emperor for being uneducated?
"Geng Jiuchou is right. This book is for the common people to read. It is good for the common people to understand it."
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to pay attention to him and said with a smile: "I have already asked the economics factory to print it. First, ten thousand copies will be printed and distributed to the people. We will strive for one copy in all drought-prone areas."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The hall roared again.
"It's all due to Geng Yu. Geng Yu had merit in compiling this book. He was promoted to doctor and transferred to the Ministry of Rites, responsible for compiling books that educate all people."
At this point, Zhu Qiyu paused: "My dear friends, I plan to compile a few books for the enlightenment of children all over the world."
"I know that there are so many children in the world that it is almost impossible for them all to go to school."
"But I thought, I should be able to write my name, recognize a few simple words, and do some simple calculations, so that I won't live like an animal!"
"So, I plan to compile the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic into a little book and publish it to the world so that children can recognize a few words."
The courtiers were all well-educated people and had a natural responsibility to educate all people. They all knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty's desire to educate all people is a lesson learned by heaven and earth!"
"It can't be said to educate all people, it's just a few villain books."
"Of course, it's impossible for the court to pay for the printing and give each family a copy, but the central government doesn't have that much money and can't afford it."
"You can only have one copy per letter and circulate it in turn."
"Those who are wealthy at home can also buy it themselves."
"Firstly, use the money earned to settle the accounts; secondly, people will not cherish the things given away for free."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Bai Gui: "The Ministry of Rites, from now on the books in the world will be under the control of the Ministry of Rites!"
"Chaotang, privately published books and newspapers are all under the control of the Ministry of Rites."
"I have said before that I plan to run a newspaper to let the people know about the affairs of the court, but I was too busy before and couldn't spare the time."
"This time, leave it all to the Ministry of Rites and publish more reports to let the people of the world know about the important events of the center."
"Books and newspapers can make money, and the Ministry of Rites must make good use of this opportunity."
Zhu Qiyu gave power to the Ministry of Rites.
The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Work have the lowest status in the court.
The authority of the Ministry of Punishment was previously increased, and now the authority of the Ministry of Rites was increased.
The Ministry of Industry is now busy in Gyeonggi and its status is getting higher and higher.
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace!" Bai Gui knelt on the ground.
"What should the Ministry of Rites do? Write a memorial and submit it to me. I will see it myself." Zhu Qiyu nodded.
Talked about the drought again.
The central government was ordered to pay close attention to the drought situation.
Down to court.
The royal chariot went to Yongshou Palace.
Changde was placed in other palaces for temporary residence, and Yongshou Palace was sealed.
"They're all waiting outside."
Zhu Qiyu walked into Yongshou Palace.
The Empress Dowager Sun was dressed in red, with flowers blooming, and her lips were as red as blood.
"Greetings, Queen Mother!" Zhu Qiyu saluted.
Queen Mother Sun turned a blind eye.
Zhu Qiyu straightened up, walked to the chair, and sat down: "The Queen Mother wants to change the title of King Mobei to King of Zhejiang?"
"Hmph, are there any secrets in the Ai family's palace?" Empress Dowager Sun looked at Zhu Qiyu resentfully.
"You and I are a family after all. What's the secret?" Zhu Qiyu looked at her.
"Haha, a family?"
Empress Dowager Sun sneered: "Can one family just seal the Yongshou Palace of the Ai family?"
"The Aijia is your legitimate mother! Not your concubine!"
"When the late emperor was still alive, he never mistreated the Ai family like this. How dare you?"
She stared at Zhu Qiyu fiercely.
"The Empress Dowager has gone too far. When the renovation of Renshou Palace is completed, she will ask the Empress Dowager to move the palace." Zhu Qiyu looked pleasant and did not disobey her.
Empress Dowager Sun snorted coldly: "The Ai family is not Changde. I was deceived by your two kind words!"
"I didn't lie to Chang De. She is my real sister. How could I not love her?" Zhu Qiyu said softly.
He had no choice but to order all the kings in the world to come to the capital. He had to let the kings see the harmony in the palace so that they could dispel their suspicions and avoid real rebellion.
There is another level, that is, waiting for all the kings in the world to come to the palace to have an audience, they will always see the Queen Mother Sun.
Empress Dowager Sun must be consistent with him.
"Then Gu'an is still your biological daughter! Wu is your biological mother, how did you treat them?"
Empress Dowager Sun did not accept this trick, and Zhu Qiyu was embarrassed.
If you do too many bad things, you will be slapped in the face.
"Stop being pretentious."
"Changde is a biological child of the Ai family. How much you hate the Ai family, don't the Ai family know?"
"Are you going to be nice to her? Go ahead and fool the devil!"
"You just want to take away the Ai family's daughter, torture the Ai family, and make the Ai family suffer! You have such a vicious mind!"
Zhu Qiyu did not deny it.
Mother and daughter turning against each other is a good show.
Changde is still Gu'an's tool man, so he must make good use of it.
"You can speak softly in front of the Ai family today because you are worried that the kings will not come to the capital and directly rebel in their fiefdoms!"
Queen Mother Sun slowly stood up with a wicked smile on her face: "The Ai family knows that you are not afraid of their rebellion, but you are afraid of the bad political impact!"
"I'm even more afraid that if they come to Beijing, the Aijia will expose your secrets in front of them!"
"Because you are not the late emperor's son!"
Snapped!
Zhu Qiyu raised his hand and slapped her in the face!
"I'm sorry for you!" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were as sharp as a knife.
Queen Mother Sun was staggered, but she said with a silly smile: "The Ai family is right, you are afraid, so you ordered all the kings in the world to come to the capital!"
"You will not allow the kings of the world to leave the capital!"
"The Ai family has seen through you a long time ago. You are extremely selfish!"
"How can you give us three mothers benefits for no reason?"
"Are you feeling guilty?"
"I want to protect the face of the Tian family and let the kings enter the capital obediently, but I will be fooled by you!"
"But the Ai family just won't allow it!"
"Fight!"
"Hit your aunt again!"
"The late emperor is watching from here..."
She suddenly walked to a corner and pulled off a piece of cotton yarn, revealing the late emperor's spiritual throne.
"The late emperor saw it all!"
"You unfilial son, beat your biological mother! Abuse your biological brother! Lie to your biological sister!"
"Are you still a human being?"
Queen Mother Sun is amazing.
He quietly created the late emperor's spiritual throne and enshrined it in the Yongshou Palace.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes darkened.
The governor has never reported it. When was this spiritual tablet created? When was it offered?
There are secrets in this Yongshou Palace that he doesn't know!
Everyone knows what the prisoner does for food!
"Empress Dowager, when did I deceive Changde?"
Zhu Qiyu said kindly: "Xue Xia is qualified to inherit the title of Marquis of Yangwu, and he is my nephew. Can't we let him work hard for me?"
"Empress Dowager, you think too badly of me. Changde did something wrong, so he will be punished and let go."
"She is my biological sister. My father is gone, and King Mobei has too much time to take care of himself. If I don't love her, who will?"
"I am the only male in our lineage. If I were placed in a common people's family, I would also be the patriarch of the whole family. Don't I care for my own family and outsiders?"
"Do I have to be a loner?"
"After a hundred years, how will I look when I go to see my father?"
Zhu Qiyu didn't want to be tough.
If the negotiation breaks down and ends badly, we can’t pretend to be crazy anymore, right? Not worth it!
"You doubt me because I didn't give you the World Voucher?"
"When Xue Xia succeeds to the throne, I will give him a world certificate. How about that?"
Zhu Qiyu stared at the Queen Mother.
Queen Mother Sun also stared at him, staring at his face and expression.
Finally, he sneered: "Humph, the Ai family is not Changde, and they were deceived by your soft words!"
"Then what can I do to appease the Queen Mother?" Zhu Qiyu gave in again.
"If you want to move the Ai family, you have to make Zhen'er the King of Zhejiang." Empress Dowager Sun made a condition.
"There's nothing wrong with Mobei."
"I'll choose a good place for him, with a large enough area, and give him more holes."
“Let him multiply there.”
"How about all his descendants being crowned princes?"
Zhu Qiyu gave in again. He had to reach an agreement with the Empress Dowager. Otherwise, when the kings entered the capital, the Empress Dowager would step in. If it was said that he was not the late emperor's biological son, how would he end up?
"Mobei is so good, why don't you go to Mobei?"
Empress Dowager Sun sneered: "King of Zhejiang, half of Jiangnan is the bottom line for the Ai family's negotiations."
"Zhejiang is the most important tax-producing area in the world. If half of the south of the Yangtze River is gone, how can the Ming Dynasty survive on the Yangtze River? Empress Dowager." Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly.
"That's your business! Who made you the emperor?" Empress Dowager Sun dismissed it.
Zhu Qiyu knew that this old witch was difficult to deal with. The handle she held in her hand was very likely to cause the collapse of his throne.
When all the kings in the world come to Beijing, she, the Holy Mother Queen Mother, must come forward to bestow favors.
If she told the secret directly at the banquet, how would he end it?
Should we directly kill all the kings in the world?
Another layer is that because of the forced eviction of the Kong family, his reputation among literati has become bad.
He must maintain his filial reputation.
We can no longer lose our reputation of filial piety, otherwise even gods will be unable to save us.
He must reconcile with the Empress Dowager and let the Empress Dowager show up publicly.
In fact, he did not expect that the forced relocation of the Kong family would have such a bad political impact. He underestimated others and overestimated himself.
Therefore, the reputation of benevolence and filial piety must be firmly grasped.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu bent down and had a good talk with her.
"What do you think of the Western Region?" Zhu Qiyu refused to grant him the mainland.
"He gave up the throne to you! You didn't even want to give him a piece of Zhejiang. What kind of brother are you?" Queen Mother Sun exploded.
The more the emperor gave in, the more she understood the emperor's weaknesses.
Her identity as the aunt's mother is the emperor's weakness!
"Empress Dowager, don't push yourself too far." Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold.
Empress Dowager Sun raised her head: "Come, kill the Ai family, and everything will disappear, but you will have to bear the reputation of being unfilial!"
"The Ai family wants to see if you can carry it!"
"Did you see this red makeup?"
"This is the wedding dress for the Ai family and the late emperor on their wedding day!"
"The Ai family wore this wedding dress and were killed by the late emperor's biological son in front of his spiritual throne!"
"The Ai family will go see the late emperor now and let's see how you can bear the infamy in the world!"
Zhu Qiyu smiled horribly: "Why bother? The Queen Mother!"
"You and I are a family, and I support you. Don't you want the power of the harem?"
"Let me tell you how you became the empress dowager in the past, and how you will be the empress dowager in the future. How about that?"
He took another step back.
Empress Dowager Sun suddenly laughed: "For a long time, you have been suppressing the Ai family. Finally, the Ai family has been waiting for this day, and you are here to beg the Ai family!"
She walked up to Zhu Qiyu and looked at him with her head raised: "How dare you do anything to the Ai family!"
"You are my legitimate mother, I don't dare to do anything." Zhu Qiyu took a step back.
Empress Dowager Sun took a step forward: "Don't you like to beat the Ai family? Come on, beat the Ai family again! Let the late emperor see that his son insulted his aunt! He is not a human son!"
With that said, he raised his hand and slapped Zhu Qiyu in the face!
Snapped!
Zhu Qiyu grabbed her wrist and said in a cold tone: "Empress Dowager, why do you need to quarrel?"
"The faces of the Aijia and you have been torn apart a long time ago!"
"Now you are asking for help from the Ai family. Something is wrong with the Ai family, and your throne is unstable!"
Empress Dowager Sun stared at him: "Let Aijia go and let Aijia beat you! If I hit you, maybe Aijia will let you go once she's in a good mood!"
Snapped!
Her response was a loud slap!
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"
Zhu Qiyu slapped her in the face and knocked her to the ground.
Then he sat on the chair and said in a sharp tone: "I didn't want to settle old scores with you!"
"But you have to force me!"
"The throne is unstable?"
"I want to see why the throne is unstable?"
Queen Mother Sun was lying on the ground, everyone was stunned. They never expected, why did the emperor dare to hit her?
Isn't he worried that all the kings in the world will not come to Beijing?
When the kings enter the capital, aren't they worried that the Ai family will reveal the secret?
Is he really not worried about being accused of being unkind and unfilial?
Why would he dare to attack the Aijia?
But Zhu Qiyu asked her directly: "How did Zhu Jianji die? Tell me!"
Empress Dowager Sun turned pale and immediately turned her head, not daring to look into the emperor's eyes.
However, Zhu Qiyu directly grabbed her chin and turned her head: "I ask you, how did my prince die?"
"Sick, sick!" Queen Mother Sun looked up at the emperor, and the feeling of being dominated came back.
"Do you dare to swear in front of the late emperor's soul? The late emperor's grandson, my prince, Zhu Jianji, died of illness?" Zhu Qiyu pinched her face hard.
"Ah! It hurts!"
Queen Mother Sun felt severe pain in her cheek.
"Don't you dare!" Zhu Qiyu shouted.
Queen Mother Sun only said that her cheek hurt and refused to respond directly.
"pain?"
"When Zhu Jianji died, didn't he feel pain?"
"That's my son! My biological son!"
"The prince of a country is gone at the last word! Let me, the emperor, become a desolate family without a son! What do people in the world think of me?"
Zhu Qiyu stared at her: "Empress Dowager, I didn't want to settle the score with you, but you forced me!"
Queen Mother Sun wanted to shake her head, but Zhu Qiyu's hands were so strong that she couldn't move her head.
There were several blood stains on his cheeks.
"I'll ask you again!"
"Where did Shoukang's illness come from?"
"Don't you have any idea?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed sharply: "Wang, who do you belong to! Have you forgotten it?"
"Do you need me to repeat it to you one by one?"
"Do you need it? You are still forcing me!"
Zhu Qiyu grabbed her head with both hands and knocked her head hard on the chair.
Bang bang, knock a few times.
Then he pulled her up like a carrot, getting very close and staring at her: "I have endured all this! But you are still forcing me!"
Empress Dowager Sun's makeup was blurred and she looked at Zhu Qiyu with only fear in her eyes.
"Do you want the King of Zhejiang?"
"Then I will immediately issue an order to kill him!"
"Go to the underworld and become the king of Zhejiang!"
Zhu Qiyu's Tumo Xingzi sprayed on her face: "If I kill him, it will be a little troublesome at most. At worst, I won't order the kings to enter the capital now. What will happen if I order him a few years later?"
"Who do you think this world belongs to?"
"It's mine!"
"Believe it or not, I can kill Yu Qian with just one decree!"
"With just one word from me, Hu Hui can die!"
"Even the late emperor is not as powerful as me!"
"I will kill whoever I want to kill!"
"What if I don't want my reputation, drag you to Fengtian Palace, and kill you in front of everyone in the world?"
Queen Mother Sun's eyes widened and she was dumbfounded.
"You are lying to the Ai family..."
"Liar? Try it!" Zhu Qiyu sneered and let go of her head.
Queen Mother Sun quickly shook her head.
Could it be that the emperor's power was really increased by Xuanzong?
During the Xuande Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong would kill whomever he wanted. Who dared to say no?
But the Zhengtong Dynasty was different. Although her political structure was small, she also knew that when Sanyang was in power, the imperial power shrank sharply.
After the Empress Dowager Zhang died of illness, the imperial power could no longer check and balance the power of ministers.
The power of ministers expanded rapidly.
It can be said that Zhu Qizhen did not want to regain the imperial power. He finally defeated Yang Shiqi, but he was just a spoiled child. He even lost the throne in a civil fortress.
"Your Majesty, the Ai family is wrong!"
Queen Mother Sun admitted her mistake.
She is afraid!
If what the emperor said is true, and he really has the power of Emperor Xuanzong, then wanting to kill her and King Mobei is just a matter of words!
No hassle at all!
But when did the emperor get back such great power?
He is just a useless person. He didn't even get the power back from the emperor, but did he get it back?
She didn't dare to gamble.
"Is this your attitude of admitting your mistake?" Zhu Qiyu looked at her.
Queen Mother Sun returned to the fear of being dominated, slowly knelt on the ground, and actively placed her head on Zhu Qiyu's hand.
"Tell me, why do you always think about unrealistic things?" Zhu Qiyu grabbed her face and pinched it hard.
Empress Dowager Sun endured the severe pain, her makeup stained with tears.
"King Zhejiang, what you have in mind is so beautiful!"
"Is he worthy?"
"The emperor who became a prisoner should die and ruin the Ming Dynasty's reputation!"
"But he didn't. He is still alive and trying to regain his throne. Is he crazy?"
"Is such a person worthy of being the King of Zhejiang?"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly noticed that her makeup was exquisite, and his eyes turned cold: "Why are you all dressed up? Are you going to see the late emperor?"
Lifting her head up: "If you want to see her, I will help you."
Queen Mother Sun quickly shook her head.
Only if she lives can Zhu Qizhen live.
She got it.
"With what you have in hand? Can you make him the King of Zhejiang?"
Zhu Qiyu stared at her: "You idiot!"
Gulu!
Queen Mother Sun swallowed her saliva, her face full of horror.
"That little thing is just enough for you to live well in the palace!"
Zhu Qiyu patted her cheek gently: "I will forgive you for killing Zhu Jianji and Shoukang."
"I really want the harem to be stable."
"My heart is different from yours. You only think about your own enjoyment, but you don't care about the Ming Dynasty."
"I want the people of Ming Dynasty to live a good life, I want to regain the territory of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty, and I want to be the emperor for eternity!"
"So, I have endured many things!"
"But you are ignorant. You want Zhejiang to be a fiefdom for King Mobei. Why don't you let me give up the throne to him?"
"Is your mind full of shit?"
Zhu Qiyu patted harder and harder.
Queen Mother Sun's head hurts.
"I want to treat you as a family, but you plot against me over and over again!"
"Do you think you can shake my throne with just a few words?"
"Do you think that with your little thoughts, you can stop me from ordering all the kings in the world to enter the capital?"
"Do you think that you two, alone and weak, can take back the throne?"
"You take yourself too seriously! Queen Mother!"
Zhu Qiyu pushed her head aside.
Stand up slowly.
He stepped on her face: "Just like now, when I step on you, I also step on the entire Ming Dynasty!"
"This country is my private property!"
"Everyone alive in this country is my personal property!"
"It's all mine!"
"I will kill whoever I want!"
"I will give it to whomever I want to give it!"
"If I don't give it to you, none of you can take it!"
"I gave it to you, and you have to take it even if you don't want it!"
"Empress Dowager, I dare to do this in front of the late emperor!"
"What can you do to me!"
Zhu Qiyu stepped on Queen Mother Sun's face.
Empress Dowager Sun broke down and cried. She remembered that in those days, Empress Sun, the most favored Empress of the Sixth Palace and known as the most beautiful woman in the Ming Dynasty, could only cry helplessly at this moment.
Zhu Qiyu raised his feet and sat on the chair again: "If you still want King Mobei to live, just be obedient."
Queen Mother Sun slowly got up, kneeling like a slave, listening to the holy teachings.
"I don't want our family to completely fall apart."
"Let the world laugh at you."
"If you want this wealth, just cooperate with me in acting. Only when a mother is kind can a son be filial. If the mother is not kind, how can a son be filial?"
"King Mobei and Changde are both my biological brothers and sisters. I will arrange them properly, so you don't have to worry about them."
"do you understand?"
After talking for a long time, seeing that Queen Mother Sun did not respond, Zhu Qiyu glanced at her.
"The Ai family understands." Empress Dowager Sun felt extremely aggrieved.
She didn't dare threaten the emperor with that secret anymore.
That's to save your life, not to seek wealth and honor.
Only then did she understand.
"What should you call yourself in front of me?"
Queen Mother Sun thought of the fear of being dominated again: "Slave, I understand!"
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips raised: "In front of me, you will always be a slave."
Queen Mother Sun just cried.
"Take back your tears. You are still crying even though you are wearing a wedding dress. Did I bully you?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold.
"Your Majesty, no, this servant loves to cry." Queen Mother Sun still couldn't stop.
"What should you call me?" Zhu Qiyu asked her.
"Your Majesty!"
The last trace of Queen Mother Sun's dignity was completely trampled under Zhu Qiyu's feet.
"This is right. I am the king and father of all people in the world. You should not feel wronged."
Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "But you are the Queen Mother after all. In terms of managing the harem, you are much better than the Queen Mother, and Tang Guifei is far behind you."
"I will let you rule the harem again, but you should know who you are going to work for."
test!
This is the emperor's test!
Queen Mother Sun's pupils shrank, she was not asked to manage the harem, but she was asked to offend others!
Yes, the palace is full of official ladies and it is not easy to manage them.
Concubine Tang doesn’t want to be the evil person, so who will be the evil person?
Empress Dowager Wu didn't do it, so she, the Empress Dowager Sun, had to do it!
The emperor wanted her to annihilate herself from the world!
The last bit of reputation will be buried in it.
At that time, she will be a puppet on strings, and the emperor can manipulate her however he wants.
"Um?"
Zhu Qiyu looked at her: "Don't want it?"
"My slave wants it." Queen Mother Sun cried.
"Why don't you thank me?"
"My slave, thank you for your kindness!" Empress Dowager Sun cried even harder. It was so humiliating.
"I will choose my husband carefully in Changde. After all, she is my biological sister. She must marry well."
Zhu Qiyu asked her to get up and said slowly: "You don't have to worry about King Mobei. He will live well as long as you are alive."
"I will treat his son as one of my own. He will be crowned a prince and his daughter will be crowned a princess. After all, they are all my nephews and nieces."
"My reputation among the people is getting worse and worse."
"If I continue to be notorious for being unfilial, I'm afraid King Mobei will be ready to take action again."
"So, if you let me know, there are bad signs."
"I have no choice but to use cruel methods. First send King Mobei on the road, and then send all the sons of King Mobei on the road!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed: "Then send all the kings of the world on their way!"
"I am the only one left in the world with the surname Zhu, and this country still belongs to me."
"Ms. Sun, please don't force me."
"Don't drive me crazy! I'm going crazy, but my relatives don't recognize me anymore!"
Plop!
Queen Mother Sun knelt on the ground again: "I don't dare."
"Then cooperate with me and put on a good show. You can be raised honorably and I can sit on the throne safely. You and I will be on the same page."
Zhu Qiyu stood up and walked to the late emperor's tomb: "I can swear on the late emperor's tomb that as long as you think about me, I will let you enjoy your old age in peace, and I will never touch a single hair of King Mobei!"
Queen Mother Sun's eyes widened.
The emperor was really afraid that she was talking nonsense in front of the kings.
Therefore, the emperor took great pains to persuade her.
The emperor knew that he had no credibility and swore directly to the late emperor's spiritual throne.
"Your Majesty, is it true?" Empress Dowager Sun's eyes flashed with hope. She believed this.
"I have always said that our family should be harmonious, isn't it?"
"Let bygones be bygones, I don't care anymore, I can be satisfied with your wealth."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Why don't you believe what I say?"
"How have I served you all these years? Have you forgotten? How have I treated King Mobei? Isn't that bad?"
"Go back to the past, Queen Mother."
Empress Dowager Sun's eyes flashed with greed: "Then can you change Zhen'er's fiefdom?"
"What do you like? As long as it's not too much, tell me to change!" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.
Queen Mother Sun was dumbfounded. Why was the emperor so easy to talk to?
He must have a purpose!
