Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Okay, you can leave the city to camp. Yu Shangshu, please write a military strategy. I will approve it later."
After saying that, Zhu Qiyu raised his feet and started to leave again, but was forcefully dragged back to his seat by the ministers.
Zhu Qiyu could only complain: "What's the use of detaining me here? I have things to do when I go home."
Chen Xun hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, don't always think about going home. We still have a lot of things to report. You can deal with the political affairs for two hours before leaving."
"Two hours?"
Zhu Qiyu became anxious when he heard this, so Chen Xun had to compromise: "One and a half, one and a half hours, you can at least deal with the most important things."
"Okay, okay, let someone bring me a table."
Chen Xun hurriedly asked people to bring a table over. All the officials looked at Zhu Qiyu eagerly, thinking that he was going to review the documents in person.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Qiyu took out a leather pot from his pocket, and then took out a roll of cooking cakes wrapped in oil paper, and started eating and drinking by himself.
The ministers looked straight, but Zhu Qiyu said confidently: "You still have the nerve to stare at me? When others go to cry sacrifices, the master's family has to take care of the food. I cried for a long time in the British government palace, and ended up not eating half a mouthful of steamed buns. When I got there, I was rushed over by you guys. Is it easy for me? I was not allowed to leave. You guys are too cruel."
Chen Xun said hurriedly: "How can we let His Highness just eat cooking cakes? We should send someone to the Shanshan Supervisor and ask people to buy some food and drinks for His Highness Haosheng."
"No, no, it's already good to eat fried eggs wrapped in pancakes."
Zhu Qiyu raised his hands to the sky and continued: "When our Emperor Taizu started his business and conquered the world, Queen Gao had cooking cakes in her arms and secretly sent them to Taizu. Taizu ate the cooking cakes with gusto.
Now we have wine and food, cities, soldiers, and food and grass. We are a thousand or ten thousand times stronger than we were then. If you can't kill those bastards from Beiyuan, you will really lose your ancestors. "
While Zhu Qiyu was eating cooking cakes, he mentioned the story of Empress Gao delivering cooking cakes to Taizu. The ministers present were all the best among men, so how could they not understand the meaning behind the words.
Therefore, all the ministers were dumbfounded: His Highness was too dedicated. He had just been crowned King of Qi by the Jin Dynasty, and he was already testing the ministers' attitude towards the appointment of Princess Qi.
It was Chen Xun who, on behalf of all the ministers, asked straight to the point: "What should we do about Princess Xin, and what should we do about the eldest son of Prince Xin?"
Zhu Qiyu didn't expect Chen Xun to be so direct and save the whole process of hypocrisy and subterfuge. He had no choice but to reply: "The eldest son Zhu Jianji was appointed as King of Yin, the Jin Dynasty made Wang, the Princess of Yin, the Princess of Yin, and the Jin Dynasty made Zhu Jianji's biological mother, Hang, the concubine of the King of Yin."
Chen Xun and all the ministers were stunned when they heard this, and they all stared at Zhu Qiyu blankly. Zhu Qiyu also looked back at everyone with a matter-of-fact expression.
Everyone was in a stalemate for a long time before Chen Xuncai continued to ask: "Your Highness, do you mean that you and your son are both princes? Two princes from the same family?"
Zhu Qiyu continued to fool around with a smile: "Think of it this way, if the capital cannot be defended, the Ming Dynasty will be over, then everyone will be happy, and we will no longer have to discuss one prince and two princes.
If the capital can be defended and Wala is defeated, then as the prince overseeing the country, I will have a great contribution to the survival of the country and the support of the country. When the time comes, I will ask the Queen Mother for a reward of one family and two princes. Is this too much to ask for? "
When the ministers thought about it, they seemed to really mean this: Now that all the northern elites of the Ming army were dead, under such difficult conditions, if they could really defeat Oara and defend the capital, it would be an unparalleled achievement, and it would be a great achievement for Zhu Qiyu. One family and two princes is not a big deal.
Moreover, according to Zhu Qiyu's plan for the two princes, there is no need to abolish the old princess or the old prince, and the new princess can be promoted, which is the best of both worlds. In this way, there is no fundamental conflict with etiquette and law, and there is no need to embarrass the ministers. This is enough. As for who Zhu Qiyu favors and who he loves, the ministers don't bother to care.
So everyone nodded and acquiesced to Zhu Qiyu's proposal. As long as we can defeat Wala and keep the capital, everything else is easy to negotiate.
Zhu Qiyu continued: "Yu Shangshu, you strictly ordered the Liaodong Ming Army to guard their respective defense areas and actively respond to the invasion of Tuotuo Buhua, the Great Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. As for the matter of King Qin entering the capital, they do not need to participate."
When the ministers heard this, they all felt a little tired. Why did Zhu Qiyu's thoughts suddenly jump from the throne to Tuotuo Buhua.
Yu Qian hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, to be on the safe side, it is better to summon the Liaodong Army Qin Wang."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Everyone must look forward and not just think about defending the capital, but also how to destroy Oara and how to pacify Liaodong.
As for defending the capital, you should think more about Zhang Xun and Zhang Zhongcheng. He only led ten thousand men, had few soldiers and few generals, and lacked food and grass, but he was able to defend Suiyang for ten months and kill one hundred thousand rebels in Anshi.
I ask you to have the same ability as Zhang Xun, but that's me being mean. Let's do this, you only need to have one-tenth of Zhang Xun's record.
We now have an army of 200,000 men, a fortified city, powerful artillery, and plenty of food and fodder. I will ask you to guard for three months and kill 30,000 enemies. This requirement is not even one-tenth as difficult as Zhang Xun's defense of the city. Isn't it too much? "
Hearing this, Yu Qian had no choice but to nod his head and no longer insisted on recruiting the Liaodong Ming Army. After all, he already has an army of 200,000 in his hands, and Zhu Qiyu's goal is only to reach one-tenth of Zhang Xun's. If he continues to cry for poverty, he will be looked down upon by the prison prince.
In other words, everyone is already being looked down upon by the prince who oversees the country: Zhu Qiyu's entire expectation for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty is one-tenth of Zhang Xun, and he can't ask for more.
Zhu Qiyu then ordered Chen Xun: "Please send a message to the Great Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Tuo Tuo Bu Hua, and order him to come to the capital in person to pay tribute next spring."
Chen Xun was stunned when he heard this and asked in surprise: "Isn't Tuotuo going crazy? How could he come to pay tribute in person?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "He will. You tell him that I will talk to him in person. It is about whether he can live well, so he must come in person."
Chen Xun had no choice but to reply: "I will issue the document for you. Don't blame me if he doesn't come."
"Okay, you will know when the time comes. I have finished talking about my things, you can talk about yours."
So all the ministers gathered around Zhu Qiyu and chanted for two more hours. Only when Zhu Qiyu couldn't sit still and was about to start crying again did the ministers let him go.
Zhu Qiyu ran back quickly, and when he entered the house, he ordered the door to be closed and locked.
It's getting dark, so you should go to bed quickly. Don't be caught again. This royal brother of mine is so inconsiderate.
