Time went back half an hour.
Zhu Qiyu led a group of servants back to Zuoshun Gate, stood in front of Empress Dowager Sun, bowed and said.
"Seeing the Queen Mother, I wonder if the way I just dealt with you outside is appropriate, does the Holy Mother think it is appropriate?"
After waiting for such a long time, Empress Dowager Sun's face barely gained some color. When she heard this, her heart suddenly burst into flames.
She had just been behind Zuoshunmen and saw Zhu Qiyu's every word and action.
When Zhu Qiyu sternly reprimanded the officials who were fighting, Empress Dowager Sun felt very happy for a while.
After all, these days, after the emperor was captured, she, a woman in deep palace, was forced to step in to maintain the situation. She encountered a lot of soft nails with civil servants overtly and covertly. Just from the news sent back by Jin Ying, there were many imperial concubines. Shi bluntly said that she, the Queen Mother, interfered too much in government affairs and controlled the military.
If she hadn't taken into account the current situation and the need for this group of civil servants to maintain, she would never have given in so much. But who would have expected that they would be so arrogant as to kill people in public at the court meeting, simply not taking her as the Queen Mother in their eyes.
There was one sentence that Zhu Qiyu just said outside that made Empress Dowager Sun feel the same way.
This group of courtiers dared to be so lawless because the emperor was not in the capital. There was only King Xin in the palace, a royal prince, and she, a woman in the palace, with a two-year-old baby, an orphan and a widowed mother who was easy to bully. .
But if the emperor is here, the three of them will not dare to be so presumptuous!
So Zhu Qiyu just reprimanded the group of courtiers, and in the end he even forced the group of ministers to hand over the leader for punishment, which really made Empress Dowager Sun feel very angry.
But before she was happy for a while, she felt something was wrong...
Unlike other civil and military officials, the Empress Dowager Sun viewed everything from the emperor's perspective from beginning to end.
In addition, although she was watching from behind Zuoshunmen, due to her status, she could not participate in the court meeting in person, so she was relatively a calm third party.
During the previous court meeting, she was so angry that she was so angry that she could not react. Now that she thought about it carefully, she clearly felt that the reason why the courtiers were making such a fuss was that from the beginning, Because Zhu Qiyu is fanning the flames!
The biggest culprit in the civil engineering incident must be Wang Zhen. There is no doubt about this from top to bottom.
Even if the emperor comes back in the future, this is an unchangeable fact.
After all, if it was not Wang Zhen who was wrong, then it could only be the emperor who indulged Wang Zhen.
Empress Dowager Sun still knew about her son. He was arrogant, a little overjoyed at great achievements, and attached great importance to love and righteousness, but he was not stupid and confused.
To take a step back, even if the emperor insists on protecting Wang Zhen after he returns, Empress Dowager Sun will not condone his misbehavior.
Therefore, the fall of Wang Zhenyi's party is a certainty, and it is nothing more than a matter of dealing with it sooner or later.
The reason why the ministers were so fierce in admonishing was that, apart from feeling resentful and resentful, most of them were also convinced of this point.
But it happened that I got stuck at Zhu Qiyu...
In the eyes of the ministers in the outer dynasty, King Tan might be cowardly and incompetent, and he was afraid of being settled by the Queen of Autumn, but from the perspective of Queen Mother Sun, she always thought of the worst side of things.
After carefully taking stock of everything that happened at the court meeting, Empress Dowager Sun discovered that things started when Zhu Qiyu refused to deal with Wang Zhen's party and became out of control.
What he said at that time.
"... Civil engineering matters are very involved. After welcoming the Emperor's brother back, he will make the decision. You should concentrate on the matter and don't need to give any more advice..."
If one listens carefully to these words, it is clearly hinting overtly and covertly that the civil engineering work was not only caused by Wang Zhen, but also caused by the emperor's indulgence.
Otherwise, why would the emperor have to make a decision?
Moreover, in the past few days, even the Queen Mother Sun had heard about the impeachment memorials submitted by the ministers, but King Tan ignored them all, clearly deliberately inflaming the dissatisfaction of the courtiers.
Under such stimulation, if Ma Shun stood up again, it would not be like boiling water splashing into a frying pan, and it would explode at a moment's notice!
Following this line of thinking, looking at Zhu Qiyu's subsequent actions, Empress Dowager Sun felt even more suspicious.
When Jin Ying left the stage, the place was relatively calm and the officials did not notice it, but Queen Mother Sun could see clearly from behind the screen.
If he hadn't predicted it in advance and told Jin Ying in advance, how could the people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang have come so quickly?
And not only is it fast, but it comes at the right time!
They arrived right after the officials killed Ma Shun, Mao Gui, and Wang Changsui.
If it had been earlier, the ministers would not have lost control and beat the person to death. If it had been a moment later, under the coercion of the irrational ministers, Zhu Qiyu would have had to continue to give in and forgive those ministers who fought.
It was precisely because he was stuck at this ingenious time that Zhu Qiyu was able to successfully control the situation with the help of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, and was able to establish his authority with his fierce words.
If only that was all...
The scene where Zhu Qiyu angrily rebuked the ministers just now made Empress Dowager Sun angry, but when she came back to her senses, Empress Dowager Sun felt even more uncomfortable.
Listen to what he said when he accused the courtiers?
First, he said that they were bullying him, the prince of the clan, and then they accused the courtiers who forced him to remonstrate without kings and fathers!
Who is the king and who is the father?
The king, father and emperor of the Ming Dynasty are in the Wala Camp!
Zhu Qiyu is just a prince who oversees the country, but he dares to openly regard himself as the king and father in this great court meeting. What does he want to do?
Don’t forget, he is just acting on behalf of the emperor!
What's even more frightening is that among the many ministers in the court, no one thinks there is anything wrong with what he said.
Didn't you notice it?
Or after such a big court meeting, the courtiers already felt that in the current situation, only King Tan could save the overall situation?
After thinking about this, and looking at Zhu Qiyu's face of a humble gentleman, Empress Dowager Sun felt a chill coming straight from her back.
She thought she was sufficiently wary of this King, but she didn't expect that this man was so deep-minded.
Thinking of her arrogant and arrogant emperor's son who insisted on going to war and was captured, Empress Dowager Sun couldn't help but feel complicated. All kinds of thoughts came to her mind. For a while, she didn't even pay attention to Zhu Qiyu's words.
Seeing that the Queen Mother Sun was stunned, Zhu Qiyu was not in a hurry and continued: "Holy Mother, civil engineering matters are very important. What the ministers did today shows that the matter in the court is boiling. It can no longer be delayed. The wishes of the ministers must be fulfilled." At the request of the ministers, Wang Zhen and his party were put on trial and punished according to law. What does the Queen Mother think?"
Empress Dowager Sun was in a state of confusion at the moment, and she had already felt that it didn't matter whether Wang Zhen's party was dealt with, so she nodded and said without thinking too much.
"Since you have overseen the country's major political affairs, you can decide on your own!"
Zhu Qiyu nodded, walked to Jin Ying and said.
"Eunuch Jin, could you please take someone out, just say..."
Zhu Qiyu spoke slowly, telling Jin Ying word by word, ordering him to do as he told him.
Empress Dowager Sun listened on the side, her brows involuntarily knitted again.
She knew that if she wasn't careful, she would be tricked by this King of Tao again!
Just deal with Wang Zhen's party. Why should we emphasize that he, the king, asked the empress dowager for instructions? Isn't it obvious that he was afraid that the emperor would come back to settle accounts and did not dare to deal with it?
As a result, I am afraid that the emperor's image in the hearts of the ministers will fall to another level.
This King Tao is really uneasy and kind-hearted!
Empress Dowager Sun reluctantly calmed down and secretly clenched her jade hands under her sleeves. Fortunately, she was not completely unprepared...
On the other side, Jin Ying also heard the hidden meaning of Zhu Qiyu's words. He glanced at Queen Mother Sun in embarrassment and did not leave immediately.
Seeing this situation, Queen Mother Sun felt a little calmer. It seemed that at least Jin Ying was on her side. However, today's matter was full of doubts. After the matter was settled, she would have to call him back to Cining Palace and ask him carefully. Ichiban.
However, Queen Mother Sun remained calm on her face and shouted softly: "What are you doing standing there, why don't you go quickly? King Tan is indeed a good man. You are entrusted with the affairs of state and court. The Ai family really did not choose the wrong person!"
His tone was heavy, with a bit of uncontrollable anger.
Zhu Qiyu knew that the Queen Mother Sun must have noticed something at this moment, but since she did not reveal it, he did not understand the sarcasm of the words, and said lightly: "Thank you for the compliment, Queen Mother. This country is the result of the hard work of our ancestors." As a result, Qi Yu, as a descendant of the Zhu family, should do his best."
After receiving the order, Jin Ying no longer hesitated to take his people out to deliver the order. Empress Dowager Sun also waved her hand and said: "The court meeting has ended, and the Ai family will not stay any longer. However, King Tan, the Ai family would like to advise you, don't do it." You get carried away and have thoughts that you shouldn't have. This Ming Dynasty is the emperor's Ming Dynasty, and no one else can change it!"
With a cold snort, Queen Mother Sun turned around and said.
"Li Yongchang, please drive back to Cining Palace!"
But no one could see that at this moment, Queen Mother Sun had helpless anger on her face, but the palms of her hands clenched in her sleeves were soaked with sweat, for fear that Zhu Qiyu would see something.
But I am afraid of what will happen...
As soon as Queen Mother Sun got up and got on the carriage, she saw a figure in front of her.
It’s none other than Zhu Qiyu!
He cupped his hands and said with a smile on his face.
"Why should the Queen Mother be anxious? Today's affairs are not over yet. I would like to invite the Queen Mother and her entourage to the Jiyi Palace to discuss important matters!"
