Brother Huang’s brain…
He didn't understand and was shocked.
If the border town is destroyed, what good will it do to Zhuqi Town?
Doesn't the Imperial City know that the more stable the Ming Dynasty is, the safer he will be in Wala?
It is unheard of for an emperor to bring his enemies with him to persuade his city guards to surrender.
"Xuanfu is trapped?"
Zhu Qiyu's heart was raised high, and he felt that his neck was being pinched tightly.
"Xuan Mansion Guards Yang Hong, Fan Guang and others did not open the city gate for Your Majesty."
Cheng Jing still lowered his voice and answered quietly.
"so far so good."
The hand holding his throat finally let go.
"They are all meritorious ministers, and they should be rewarded, and they should be greatly rewarded!"
The Ming Dynasty may not have a good-for-nothing emperor, but the border towns must not suffer any losses.
Fortunately, the guard of Xuanfu was sober and rational, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Xuanfu will become a precedent for other cities.
By then, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger.
"Your Highness, hurry up and enter the palace. There are people in the palace rushing you." Cheng Jing reminded from the side.
Zhu Qiyu nodded and touched his empty wrist, "Has my bead string been repaired?"
Cheng Jing opened the wooden box in the study and held it in both hands.
"Shu Liang personally took it out early in the morning to find a craftsman to repair it."
Zhu Qiyu tied the beads on his wrist, took a deep breath, and suppressed all the panic and tension on his face.
He should have a regal demeanor that is calm and unfazed by changes.
Even if it is forced for the time being, the performance will continue without compromise.
Everything was as the mother and concubine expected.
When he came to the Wenhua Hall again and sat in the position of supervising the country, Zhu Qiyu's state of mind was completely different.
The courtiers were still arguing endlessly, and some were still crying with sadness, while Queen Mother Sun's face became even paler, and her expression was filled with a sense of powerlessness.
She was trying her best to mediate with the courtiers, but her son came to the pass with Wala Yexian's army.
The soldiers who defended the city in Xuanfu must feel so chilled and desperate.
They will question whose country and home they are guarding in the border town day after day and year after year.
If word spreads, people in the world will never believe in Qi Zhen again.
"enough!"
Queen Mother Sun frowned tightly, her voice was hoarse and tired.
"Aijia said enough!"
The Wenhua Hall fell into silence for an instant.
"His Majesty also had no choice but to do it, and it was definitely not what he wanted."
Empress Dowager Sun worked hard to clear Zhu Qizhen's name, trying to make the officials understand his last resort.
Zhu Qiyu tried to take on the role, but found that he couldn't empathize or understand him at all.
Regardless of whether he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, or he is just one of the inconspicuous living beings of the Ming Dynasty, no one can sympathize with Zhu Qizhen's behavior.
If the knock on the pass is successful and Wala's cavalry enters the Xuan Mansion, then the people and soldiers of the Xuan Mansion...
Zhu Qizhen is so shameless.
No wonder the mother-in-law mentioned Zhu Qizhen with contempt or abuse.
In the eyes of his mother and concubine, Zhu Qizhen was not even considered a waste.
Zhu Qiyu rubbed the string of Buddhist beads on his wrist and refused to agree with Empress Dowager Sun's sophistry.
The soldiers in the border town shed their blood and the people were in fear. The officials in the capital racked their brains to make repairs. What about Zhu Qizhen?
Since I was a child, I have studied so many classics of saints, but I have never seen the word "character" from the vast sea of classics.
If you can't see your character, you should always feel ashamed.
No, it turns out that Zhu Qizhen has no basic sense of shame at all.
If there was even a little bit, he would have committed suicide long ago after all the elites of the three major battalions of the capital were killed in Tumu Fort!
Still knocking on the door?
Shameless!
There is nothing worth lamenting and regretting about such an emperor.
"King Xi?"
Empress Dowager Sun chattered for a while and then pointed to Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu was neither impatient nor impatient, neither sad nor happy. He said calmly and decisively, "I feel that the matter has already happened, and it is useless to speculate on the emperor's intentions."
What could be the purpose, other than fear of death and suffering?
The obvious truth is here, everyone knows it, but no one will ever say it to their mouths.
Everything in Wenhua Hall is superficial.
"What worries me is that knocking on the door and shouting at it are accidental."
"His Majesty has a special status. How could Wala abandon him because of the failure of the Xuanfu?"
"If you can't knock on the city gate of Xuanfu, what if you knock on other border towns?"
"Wala has no shortage of time and will always look for opportunities to try more."
"If there is a chance of success, Nawala will be able to attack the capital without any effort, and then Ming will be truly helpless."
"Yu Shangshu is willing to rebuild the defense of the capital regardless of his own life, but he must always mobilize troops, food and armor."
"So, what I mean is that instead of wasting time speculating on the so-called difficulties, it is better to immediately notify the garrison generals on all sides and ask them to take precautions and not open the city gates."
"With the border town free from worries, the capital can have a chance to breathe."
"Empress Dowager Sun, ministers, what do you think?"
Obviously this is the crux of the problem, but the attention of the ministers was led astray by the Queen Mother Sun.
"Your Highness is wise."
"It's not too late to make up for the situation before it's too late."
Queen Mother Sun's heart was filled with turmoil.
She knew what Zhu Qiyu said was reasonable, but what shocked him even more was Zhu Qiyu's change.
In one night, they were completely different people.
Zhu Qiyu, who was in the Wenhua Hall yesterday, was as nervous as pins and needles, and the hands at his sides were clenched from time to time. She could see clearly.
But today's Zhu Qiyu seems to be born to guide the country and scold Fang Qiu in the Wenhua Palace or even the Fengtian Palace.
"Then we can't let this news spread."
Zhu Qiyu raised his lips and asked, "What do you think the Queen Mother has to say?"
When Queen Mother Sun choked, she was already panicking.
"Your Majesty's reputation is the face of Ming Dynasty."
"In this matter, we must come up with a comprehensive way to save His Majesty's face."
Queen Mother Sun said in a cold voice.
When the ministers saw this, someone suggested, "How about notifying the generals in the border towns that the person knocking at the gate is not Your Majesty, but a substitute found by the Wala people, pretending to be Your Majesty?"
"In this way, it can not only save His Majesty's face, but also make the border guards be careful?"
"I wonder what your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and His Highness, King Xi, think?"
Queen Mother Sun's eyes lit up, "This is the truth."
"The person who knocked on the door was not His Majesty from the beginning to the end."
"It is the soldiers guarding the Xuanfu who cannot distinguish between people. They listened to the heart-wrenching words of the Wala people. They have ruined your majesty's reputation and brought trouble to your majesty."
Zhu Qiyu:!?(_;?
Just looking for help for Zhu Qizhen, and pouring sewage on others?
He is obviously a great hero who has made great achievements in defending the border, but now he is taking the blame?
What a shameless mother who opened the door for Shamelessness. She is so shameless.
"The Queen Mother, I am afraid that this move will chill the heart of the Xuan Mansion guard."
Before Zhu Qiyu could finish his words, Empress Dowager Sun interrupted with a strange tone: "King Xi has a kind heart."
"But why can't I see that you are kind to His Majesty?"
Zhu Qiyu's expression remained unchanged, "I am terrified."
"Queen Mother, there is no room for failure in Border Town."
"I agree that the matter of knocking off the gate is because Wala sinisterly tried to find someone to impersonate him. However, I would like to ask the Queen Mother not to hold the Xuan Mansion guard accountable in this time of crisis."
