Military reports from the front came back, confirming that the orthodox emperor had been captured, and the Emperor of Heaven officially began his northern hunt.
For more than ten days, the Empress Dowager Sun had been unable to eat well and could not sleep well at night.
Forget it, the key point is that Queen Mother Sun has to come to Bunren Hall to sit there early every morning. She sits there all day long, listening to the chatter of the ministers, just like listening to a monk chanting sutras.
Empress Dowager Sun had had enough for a long time, so when she saw Hu Hui entering the palace, she asked eagerly: "Uncle Zong, where is King Xi? Have you started back to the capital?"
Hu Hui hurriedly replied: "Queen Mother Qi, King Xi has already set off, and he should arrive in one day at most."
"Okay, okay, let's quickly prepare a decree with the cabinet and appoint King Xi as the supervisor of the country. He will be the temporary commander-in-chief of all officials and handle the major affairs of the military and state."
Hu Xi said again with a troubled face: "Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness King Xi has a copy of the inscription, and asked the minister to present it to the Queen Mother."
After saying that, Hu Xi presented King Xi's inscription book with both hands. Jin Ying hurriedly came over to take it and handed it to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother opened it and her expression suddenly changed.
Regarding the title of King Yin, Queen Mother Sun knew very well what was going on: Zhu Qiyu's biological mother, Concubine Wu Xian, was a palace servant of King Zhu Gaoxu of Han Dynasty. After the failure of King Han's rebellion, all the female relatives of the Han Dynasty palace were taken into the palace as slaves.
During the Xuande period, Concubine Wu Xian, Zhu Qiyu, mother and son were hidden outside the palace. It was not until Xuanzong was seriously ill that Zhu Qiyu was officially recognized as the prince.
With such a disgraceful background, it would be strange for Zhu Qiyu to get a good title.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Sun handed the question book to Chen Xun: "Please pass it around and have a look, and then express your own opinions."
So several important ministers present read Zhu Qiyu's title book one by one. However, after everyone finished reading, no one was willing to speak first.
Empress Dowager Sun had no choice but to call her by name: "Second Assistant, you speak first."
Chen Xun had no choice but to reply: "I believe that what His Highness King Tan said is true. As His Majesty's only younger brother, the title of King Tan is indeed too dishonorable. When the king's title was agreed upon, I said so , even if it doesn't work out, at least he should be given a title like King Chen.
Since His Highness King Yin himself proposed the title of Jin Dynasty today, and King Yin has the important task of supervising the country, it is not wrong to ask the Queen Mother to bring order to the chaos and grant King Yin the title of King of Qi. "
Without waiting for the Queen Mother Sun's reaction, Wang Zhi, the Minister of Civil Affairs on the side, retorted: "Please don't use the word Jin Feng indiscriminately. King Xi and King Qi are both equal princes, so where does the term Jin Feng come from.
Now that His Majesty is hunting in the north, King Xi should have immediately assumed the responsibility of supervising the country and led all civil and military officials to rescue His Majesty. However, King Yin is now constantly making excuses and ignoring His Majesty's safety. How can he have the nerve to mention the matter of changing the king's title? "
Seeing that the two were arguing, Empress Dowager Sun had to ask Yu Qian again: "Master Yu, what do you think?"
Yu Qian replied: "We think that we should be invited by His Highness King Tan."
Wang Zhi heard this and said angrily: "Shilang Yu, your majesty treats you very badly. You don't want to rescue your majesty, so why are you still making noises?"
Yu Qian retorted: "What Otsuka Zai said makes me start to make noise. Then tell me, which sentence in King Tan's question book is problematic? Please point it out one by one, and we can discuss it together."
When Wang Zhi heard this, he shut his mouth and said nothing. King Yin is an inferior king, and everyone present knows this very well. It would be meaningless to talk nonsense with open eyes and forcefully argue against him.
Upon seeing this, Yu Qian added: "King Yin did not make any excessive demands. The most important thing for us now is to let King Yin supervise the country as soon as possible. The rest of the things are all minutiae. Now we are here arguing endlessly about these things. Mistakenly. If a major military or national event occurs, who will bear the responsibility?"
Empress Dowager Sun looked at Hu Bing again, and Hu Bing had to reply: "His Royal Highness King Xi also said that he went south to recuperate on the orders of the Queen Mother. Now that he is returning to Beijing to supervise the country, he still needs a clear edict from the Queen Mother to appoint King Xi as the supervisor before he dares to do so. Enter the city.
According to the opinion of the old minister, the Queen Mother first issued an edict and ordered King Tan to supervise the country. As for the matter of the Jin Dynasty, we can discuss it face to face after King Tan enters the city. "
After hearing this, Queen Mother Sun nodded: "Yes, according to the words of the eldest uncle, the cabinet immediately drafted a decree and appointed King Xi as the supervisor of the country. The eldest uncle will work harder and go to deliver the decree again."
The ministers heard the words and took orders. Not long after, Hu Xi set out with the prepared edict. In the evening, he came to the Yingzhou Wei camp and delivered the decree.
Zhu Qiyu took Yizhi with a smile and handed it to Lin Xiangyu who was standing aside.
Hu Xi couldn't help but ask: "May I ask, Your Highness, why did you bring so many soldiers back to Beijing?"
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Old Minister, I don't know, but I have no choice but to be ordered by Yu Shilang to do the work. Didn't Yu Shilang go to Zijingguan to inspect military affairs before? When passing by Baoding Mansion, he issued a document from the Ministry of War, ordering The capital of Daning mobilized troops to support the king and escorted Xiao Wang back to the capital.
Don't worry, Old Minister, tomorrow I will take on the responsibility of supervising the country and lead this army to build fortifications and drill and prepare for war. "
Hu Xi sighed, knowing that the capital was in danger, and there was nothing he could do to stop Zhu Qiyu from taking over the military power at this time. So he asked again: "May I ask who the girl next to Your Highness is?"
"This is a bitch."
When Hu Hu heard this, she thought that King Xi was finally caught by her, the senior Minister of Rites, and quickly corrected her: "King Xi is wrong. According to etiquette, a man can only call his wife a bitch.
A concubine who merely serves a concubine and favors a concubine, but only serves others with sex cannot be called a lowly concubine. "
Seeing that Lin Xiangyu was so beautiful in front of her, Hu Hui instinctively thought that she was the newly acquired concubine of King Xi when he went out. Unexpectedly, Zhu Qiyu laughed and said: "
As Lao Shangshu said, a lowly wife can only call her his wife. But please think carefully, Lao Shangshu, is there a possibility that the person next to me is my head wife? "
Hu Hui replied firmly: "Your Highness, please stop lying to me. I am not confused yet. Your wife is Concubine Wang."
"Old Minister is wrong. Your empress Wang Fei is the royal concubine of King Xi, and the person in front of you is the royal concubine of King Qi."
When Hu Hui heard this, she looked stunned and was so shocked that she couldn't speak. It took a long time to hold back a sentence: "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Zhu Qiyu asked back: "You have the nerve to ask what this means? You have no idea how many people you have placed in Prince Xin's Mansion.
Since I am appointed as the superintendent of the country, I no longer want the palace of Prince Tan, and I will give it back to you in its entirety. "
After hearing the words, Hu Hui was stunned for a long time. She just bowed her hands and said, "I'm going to leave." Then she flicked her sleeves, turned around and left.
Lin Xiangyu saw this and asked curiously: "Why is Your Highness so straightforward? Isn't this embarrassing?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "This operation is called establishing a character, do you understand?"
"Establishing a character?"
"Yes, for example, if you usually act gentle and simple, be kind to others, and don't fight or rob, then you will have the persona of a good person. If you are usually cruel and domineering, and do all kinds of evil, then you will have the persona of a bad person.
As for me, when I took over the important task of supervising the country, I had to establish a rude, barbaric, and absurd persona.
There's nothing you can do about it. You don't know that these ministers are all cheap. The more you treat them wholeheartedly, the more they will think you are weak and can be bullied, and that you are completely heartless. "
Lin Xiangyu nodded and praised after hearing this: "Miao Miao Miao, the slave family understands. His Highness treated them roughly when he came up and lowered their expectations for His Highness.
In this way, one day His Highness is in a good mood and becomes a little kinder to them, and they will lament the Emperor's great kindness.
In the words of the sage, this is called the fact that it is difficult to raise a villain and a woman. If you are close, you will not be inferior, and if you are far, you will be resentful.
Only the king, who is moody and unpredictable and whose power is unpredictable, can subdue Xiaoxiao and make him feel awe. "
