Empress Dowager Sun touched her forehead and sighed, and replied feebly: "Hey, let Yu Shangshu talk to you."
When Yu Qian heard this, he quickly said to Zhu Qiyu: "Your Majesty, Datong Guardsman Guo Deng sent a military report, and he also took Your Majesty hostage and came to Datong City.
His Majesty sent the royal guard Yuan Bin into the city in advance with his driving license. Guangning Bo Liu An came out to confirm that your Majesty was well. Then Guo Deng led officials of all sizes to appear.
Your Majesty ordered Guo Deng to take twenty-two thousand taels of silver and give it to others first. After receiving the gift, the thief took His Majesty and left. "
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiyu hurriedly asked: "How is the emperor brother? Are you injured? Has Guo Deng come in to present food and clothing? Is there anyone around the emperor to wait on you?"
Yu Qian had no choice but to reply: "Your Majesty was not injured, and the dragon's body is very healthy. When he met Guo Deng and others, he talked and laughed freely, and looked resolute. Guo Deng also donated food, clothing, fruits and other items."
Zhu Qiyu saw that Yu Qian was somewhat reluctant, but he didn't take it seriously.
As for Ye Xian, I don’t know what he was thinking. He quickly broke through the Zijin Pass and entered. Why bother lingering in Shanxi? He just kept doing this and waited for Ming Dynasty's King Qin's army to enter the capital. Zhu Qiyu looked worried for him.
Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was silent, Empress Dowager Sun quickly asked: "King Xi, now that we know the whereabouts of your imperial brother, what should be the next step?"
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he replied: "I am concerned about the safety of my brother, and I am very confused at the moment. I would like to ask some important ministers to talk about it first."
Zhu Qiyu chose to let the ministers speak first, otherwise as soon as he opened his mouth, Empress Dowager Sun would definitely take direct aim. If they go beyond the ministers every time, will these important ministers be happy?
Chen Xunxian said: "Wei Chen thought that the Ming Dynasty's troops in Shanxi had been wiped out by Wala. Now it would be extremely difficult to launch another attack on Wala and rescue your majesty.
Wala, on the other hand, can hold His Majesty hostage and travel between cities in Shanxi, asking for the opening of the city and rewards. How will the city guards respond when the time comes?
Not agreeing to Wala's request would be an offense to His Majesty and a disobedience to His Majesty's will. If you agree to Wala's request, then Wala will make every effort and ask for more. They even occupied Guancheng and looted wantonly.
In my opinion, the country cannot be without a king for a day. It is better to establish a new king as soon as possible and respect your majesty as the Supreme Emperor from afar, so as to calm the hearts of the people in the world and eliminate the hope of destruction. Please give the Queen Mother a clear warning. "
When Queen Mother Sun heard this, her expression immediately changed. After a while, he asked: "Is it necessary?"
Chen Xun replied: "If I can't think of a better way, I can ask other ministers to discuss it. There may be a better way."
Empress Dowager Sun asked others again. Hu Hui and Wang Zhi both shook their heads and said nothing.
Only Yu Qian replied: "It's okay that Wala is only in Shanxi. If we attack Juyong Pass, your Majesty will order the guard to turn it on and off. May I ask the Queen Mother, will the guard turn it on or off?"
If the switch is turned on, the Wala army will attack the capital city that day; if it is not turned on, the guard will resist the order. How will the guard deal with himself?
The matter has come to this, and there is absolutely no reason for it. Please make a decision quickly. "
Empress Dowager Sun turned to Zhu Qiyu and asked, "King Tan, what do you think?"
Zhu Qiyu replied: "The Wala will definitely attack the walls of Beijing, but as long as we can defeat the Wala below the walls of Beijing, we can force Ye to negotiate peace first and release the emperor's brother.
Therefore, I thought that I could first establish the emperor's eldest son Zhu Jianshen as the crown prince to calm the hearts of the people in the world.
Then, in accordance with the Queen Mother's decree, the generals at the border were ordered not to obey the imperial brother's decree until they retreated from Oala.
In this way, you can get the best of both worlds. "
When Queen Mother Sun heard this, her face brightened a little, and she immediately passed the ministers again and directly approved Zhu Qiyu's petition:
"Let everything be done according to King Xi's words. The emperor's eldest son, Zhu Jianshen, will be appointed as the crown prince. I will pass on my decree and order the border officers and soldiers not to obey the emperor's order for the time being. If the emperor comes to the city, the guards only need to donate food and clothing, and they are not allowed to open the city. , no need to pay money.
In addition, the cabinet drafted an edict, and the Jin Dynasty granted King Tan the title of King of Qi, and ordered the civil and military ministers to cooperate in all matters, large and small, so that King Qi would obey orders and not be disobedient. "
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he immediately knelt down to thank him, leaving the ministers looking at each other in confusion.
The dozen or so ministers present looked at me, and I looked at you, and they didn’t know what to say: The Prince of the Supervisory State of ours has been talking a lot lately, doing some deviant and absurd things at every turn.
Forget it, but now the Queen Mother has also been infected.
The good Queen Mother Sun actually started to go crazy along with King Xin. He really gave King Xi a promotion. Of these two people, one really dared to make requests, and the other really dared to agree.
The most annoying thing is that the ministers have not been able to object. Zhu Jianshen is the eldest son of a concubine. Now that the country is facing a national crisis, he is appointed as the prince to calm people's hearts. It makes sense both emotionally and legally. The ministers don't know how to refute.
The promotion of the title of King Yin was a deal between Queen Mother Sun and King Yin: King Yin supported Zhu Jianshen as the crown prince and stabilized the throne succession of Zhu Qizhen's line. In return, Empress Dowager Sun fulfilled Zhu Qiyu's wish to be the real prince and appointed Zhu Qiyu as the real supervisor of the country.
And for the Empress Dowager Sun, the fact that Zhu Qiyu tirelessly sought to promote the king's title, and then rode a thin horse and robbed the family property, just showed that Zhu Qiyu had no interest in the throne, which was good, wasn't it?
So in today's short court meeting, Empress Dowager Sun, Zhu Qiyu and Xungui all got what they wanted, and only the injured world of civil servants successfully achieved it.
Seeing that no one objected, Empress Dowager Sun was exhausted, so she ordered the important ministers to obey King Qi's instructions, and then returned to the palace to rest.
When Zhu Qiyu saw that the Empress Dowager Sun had left, he didn't want to stay any longer. He turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the ministers one after another.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu asked dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing? I don't understand the affairs of the government. You can just take care of it."
Chen Xun replied: "His Royal Highness King Qi, you are our backbone. Even if you do nothing but just sit here, we will not feel at ease."
Zhu Qiyuyang said: "Mr. Chen Ge, I am too tired today, please let me go back to rest. Tomorrow I have to go to the homes of Duke Cheng, Xining Marquis and Taining Marquis to cry and sacrifice. I have to go back early to rest today. .
In addition, when you drafted the edict, just say that Jin can make me King of Qi. As for the positions of the princess and the crown prince, I have other arrangements. It turns out that all the titles and positions of the people in Prince Yin's Palace remain unchanged, and the entire Prince Yin's Palace remains unchanged. "
Chen Xun asked curiously: "How is this possible?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, there will be a second decree later."
Chen Xun reluctantly agreed.
Zhu Qiyu was not worried. Anyway, he had to read all the imperial edicts himself and agree with them before they could be officially issued. If the imperial edict written by Chen Xun does not suit his liking, he can just send it back and rewrite it.
After sending Chen Xun away, Zhu Qiyu was caught by Yu Qian again before he even took two steps. Zhu Qiyu was a little anxious: "Is there anything else that Yu Shangshu has to do? Is there really something that you really have to tell me? You can just discuss it and handle it."
Yu Qian hurriedly replied: "The nearest King Qin's army is about to arrive. How to set up defenses requires His Highness's approval. I thought that the army should go out of the city and camp with its back against the city gate to block the Oara army from outside the city wall. I don't know what Your Highness wants. how?"
