After listening to Princess Wuliangha's words, Zhu Youjian showed a satisfied smile, got off the horse, walked to Princess Wuliangha, helped her up with his own hands, and then looked at the princess with burning eyes. He looked over and over again, and finally nodded heavily.
"Okay! It's my blessing to have a concubine like this!" Zhu Youjian took the eldest princess's hand, "Let's go back to the city together, I want to see Xuan'er... As for robbing people Let’s discuss this matter with all the ministers later!”
Princess Wu Liangha nodded and did not continue to persuade. Instead, she accompanied Zhu Youjian back to Xuanfu City, and then went straight into the imperial city located in the center of Xuanfu Town.
The so-called imperial city is actually the palace of Prince Gu in the early years. The then Valley King Zhu Su was one of the nine fortress kings. He was deeply trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang and presided over the construction of the entire Xuanfu City. He also participated in the construction of the Xuanfu border wall and was extremely powerful. His palace is naturally magnificent and extremely strong. Later, during the Zhengde period, it became the seat of the Zhenguo Mansion of Emperor Zhengde and was renovated and expanded. However, when it was passed to Zhu Youjian, it was already very old. Fortunately, Zhu Youjian was not particular about it, so he let people tidy it up a little and then moved in.
When Zhu Youjian returned to the Xuanfu Imperial City this time, the ancient imperial city was under renovation. The trenches outside the Imperial City have been repaired, several damaged walls have been repaired and reinforced, and many houses in the Imperial City are being erected with scaffolding. Among the three main halls of the palace, Chengyun Hall and Wan Hall were both under construction. Only Cunxin Hall had been completed. When Queen Zhou knew that her husband was coming back, she took Concubine Tian and a group of palace officials and eunuchs to greet her outside Cunxin Hall.
There were not many palace servants and eunuchs in the Xuanfu Imperial City, but they were all carefully selected by Zhu Youjian. The eunuchs among them, except for the old people of Xindi, were all from the lowest level (the Ming Dynasty not only had Young eunuchs selected through examinations from the Nanhai Zi Jing Army (and other Jing Army) - these eunuchs have little to do with Da Jue, who makes a lot of money above them, otherwise they wouldn't be so miserable. After Zhu Youjian promoted them, he gave them food and wages according to the standards of knights in front of the tent (without granting land). Because Zhu Yuanzhang was relatively stingy, the legal income of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty was very low, only one stone per month. Zhu Youjian promoted these little eunuchs who were originally at the bottom and raised their salaries, so he could naturally gain their loyalty, so he felt more at ease with them.
In addition, he also imitated the methods of his treasonous sons and recruited a group of helpless widows into the imperial city of Xuan Mansion to serve as palace servants.
In short, safety first!
We must not let all kinds of traitors harm our lives...
By the way, Wei Qinghui, the biological mother of King Fu Zhu Cibing, was also promoted by Zhu Youjian. But she’s not a royal concubine—it’s not time yet! Accepting it too early may affect Zhu Cibing's birth... He is a chartered king who is officially appointed as the chief minister of the cabinet! But we can’t live and die!
So Wei Qinghui, who is still a little girl, turned into Wei Shanggong in a daze. Now she is following Queen Zhou, looking at her beloved emperor lovingly...
Just when Wei Shanggong was ogling Zhu Youjian, Queen Zhou and Concubine Tian were already holding two fat boys to greet him.
Of course, Empress Zhou was holding a treacherous son. He was only a few months old, but he was already a very annoying little guy. When he saw Zhu Youjian, his father, he giggled mockingly.
Zhu Youjian glanced at him and didn't reach out to hug him - he didn't know how to hug a traitor!
The one held by Concubine Tian was Zhu Cixuan, the son of Princess Wuliangha. He looked very cute, he was white and fat, and he was sleeping like a little pig.
Zhu Youjian laughed, went up and hugged Zhu Cixuan, and said to the left and right: "Look, you all, this is my eldest son!"
Although the rebellious son was led by Queen Zhou, he was nominally adopted by Emperor Tianqi and Queen Zhang, and was Zhu Youjian's nephew.
Of course, at the time of adoption, he was officially named the emperor’s nephew!
Although he hates the traitor, Zhu Youjian still has to put the country first when choosing his successor. Therefore, the position of the foundation of the country must be rebellious!
Zhu Youjian paused, and then said: "I will take King Xin as the emperor and appoint my great nephew as his heir. The throne of King Xin will be passed on to my eldest son Cixuan!"
"I kowtow to Xuan'er for your grace." Princess Wuliangha heard that her son had been crowned king, and quickly kowtowed to Zhu Youjian to thank her. Although she was favored now, she never thought of letting her son go. Fight for the throne.
Her age is there, and although she is very charming now, what will happen in 10 years? By that time, people will be old and yellow, and Queen Zhou will only be in her twenties by then, which is still the best time.
Zhu Youjian nodded and handed his son to Princess Wuliangha, letting her hold it. Then he took Queen Zhou with one hand and Concubine Tian with the other, and walked together to the Cunxin Palace...
...
"I have been thinking about sending troops to Tumotechuan to rob people all night... Although now is a good opportunity to send troops, I am a benevolent king after all, and the Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. How can I take advantage of the new death of an ally? , just go and steal your ally’s wife?”
On the second day after returning to Xuanfu, Zhu Youjian was in the Cunxin Palace of the Xuanfu Imperial City, together with a group of ministers in Xuanfu and Princess Wu Liangha, discussing how to send troops to Tumotechuan to rob people. It's over.
The ministers were almost unanimously opposed to sending troops to rob people!
How could the Ming Emperor send troops to snatch four newly widowed Mongolian Fujins?
How should such a thing be recorded in history books?
Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, how could you do such disrespectful things?
And Zhu Youjian also felt that something was wrong... He was so kind and righteous, how could he do such a thing?
And he doesn’t have time to send troops now!
He still had to take over Prince Fu's property, and then send troops to Shaanxi to quell the chaos... The chaos in Shaanxi was getting bigger and bigger. Zhu Youjian had already seen the name of "Gao Yingxiang" in the memorial transferred from the cabinet. Name!
This is the first generation of kings!
Li Zicheng, who claimed to be "the most loyal in Ming Dynasty", was only the second generation, while Gao Yingxiang was the first generation! In Zhu Youjian's previous life, Gao Yingxianghui was promoted as King Chuang by the 36th Shaanxi-Shanxi rebels in the third year of Chongzhen... In the next seven years, this King Chuang galloped across the northwest, sweeping away the Central Plains and bringing down the Ming Dynasty. The heart of the dynasty was turned upside down, and its destructive power was no less powerful than that of Li Zicheng!
So Zhu Youjian didn't dare to wait any longer. He had to go to Shaanxi as soon as possible to fight Gao Yingxiang. He had no time to go to the grassland to rob people.
After hearing Zhu Youjian's statement, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief... The emperor was still somewhat benevolent after all.
Zhu Youjian sighed and said: "But I can't just watch the orphans and widows left by Hutu Dunhan being bullied!"
"Your Majesty," Xu Guangqi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was the eldest among the ministers who stayed in Xuanfu and was also a bachelor, so he had to take the lead in speaking, "Didn't Hutu Dunhan have a son? After he passed away, it should be him His son ascends the throne... As long as Your Majesty issues an imperial edict and makes Hutu Dun Khan's son King of Shunyi, no one will dare to bully Hutu Dun Khan's orphans and widows."
Princess Wuliangha wanted to laugh when she heard this. Zhu Youjian quickly winked at him and told her not to speak, and then said: "What use can a mere decree do on the grassland? After all, all the grassland ministries They are barbarians, and they are all fearful of power and unethical...Wuliangha, what do you think?"
"Ah, slave..." Wu Liangha was stunned, how should he reply to this?
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true," Wu Liangha was still able to speak, "but the slaves are different from the barbarians elsewhere..."
Zhu Youjian smiled and asked again: "Wuliangha, tell me, how should I help the orphans and widows of Hutu Dunhan?"
Wuliang Haxin said: The orphan should be sent to Uzang to become a monk, and the widow should be snatched back as his little wife...
However, she looked at the group of honorable gentlemen in the palace and knew that this was not what the gentlemen said, so she said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead 10,000 troops from my army to the Tumut River to protect my sisters-in-law and nephews!"
Zhu Youjian nodded, "This is the best...With your 10,000 troops, no one should dare to touch them."
