After hearing this, Queen Mother Sun had no choice but to sit back and look at Zhu Qiyu quietly, wondering what this ridiculous prince was up to.
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. I just want to ask for the Queen Mother's grace to allow my mother-in-law to leave the palace and live with me as Princess Qi. I also ask for the Queen Mother's mercy."
Empress Dowager Sun was speechless after hearing this, and couldn't help complaining: "Zhu Qiyu, you are crazy, aren't you? You won't give up until your Prince Qi's mansion understands the trouble, right?
How long has it been? You are still in the mood. You have been doing this and that to King Qi all day long. You are not done yet, are you? "
Zhu Qiyu was reprimanded, but he still smiled shyly and said: "Qin State General Wang Jian said that if you don't seize it now, you will not come back in the future. I must take advantage of the fact that the Queen Mother still has use for me, and use my property in Prince Qi's Mansion It’s all ready.”
The Empress Dowager Sun was so angry that she waved her hand: "That's right, that's right. Don't you still want the same family with two princes? Don't you still want to make the woman you picked up from outside become Princess Qi? That's right, that's right. It's all right."
You go and discuss the edict with Chen Xun. Whatever else you want, write it down together and don't come back to me one by one. "
Zhu Qiyu was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly kowtowed to express his gratitude, saying that he would break his body into pieces to repay the Queen Mother's great kindness.
Queen Mother Sun snorted coldly, then waved her hands and left.
Zhu Qiyu excitedly asked Chen Xun to draft an edict, but the ministers gathered around to complain.
Chen Xun was the first to complain: "Your Highness, the national crisis is facing us, how could you do this. You should do your duty and stand up to shoulder the heavy responsibilities. How can you think about the little things in the palace every day?"
Zhu Qiyu asked: "Then how can you do this? Most of you are important ministers promoted by my father, shouldn't you be loyal to my father?
As one of my father's only two sons, it doesn't matter if you ministers don't protect me, but you dig holes and lay mines to kill me. Is this how you repay my father's kindness? "
Chen Xun retorted: "Why did Your Highness say this? Didn't I want Your Highness to die?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered and said: "I won't tell you how dangerous it is to deal with it. You blatantly forced the palace and coerced the Queen Mother to make me emperor. What if the Queen Mother beheaded me in anger? You dare to say that you didn't want me to die. .”
Seeing such a big hat being put down, all the ministers had no choice but to kneel down and defend themselves: "Your Highness, please be careful what you say. I have no intention of forcing you into the palace, let alone harming Your Highness. I am purely doing this for the safety of the country and the country." , there is absolutely no personal agenda.”
"Okay, don't blame Sang and Huai. I just have a personal agenda. What's wrong? Mr. Chen Ge, please hurry up and prepare an edict for me. It will be officially issued tomorrow and will be announced to the world."
A group of ministers stopped talking when they saw Zhu Qiyu playing with the knife. After all, everyone had no hope that the Queen Mother would agree to appoint Zhu Qiyu as the new king with just one request.
Zhu Qiyu tried his best to refuse, which was a normal reaction. It would be strange if he agreed directly. When it comes to acting, you have to do the whole thing.
Let’s talk about tomorrow’s drama tomorrow. Anyway, today's play was over, and not long after, Yu Qian, Wang Wen, Gao Gu and other ministers also relaxed. When they saw Chen Xun starting to draft edicts for Zhu Qiyu, they all gathered around Zhu Qiyu and Chen Xun in a serious manner, helping to formulate words and sentences.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu hurriedly held up his hands and thanked her: "Thank you for your hard work. You are all very knowledgeable scholars. Please think of some kind words for my Princess Qi, so that I can go back to be majestic and majestic, so that I can live a strong life at home." "
Wang Wen hurriedly answered: "In this case, His Highness cannot receive the credit alone. When His Highness goes back, he should also express the credit for the ministers and others to Princess Qi. If it is not a national crisis, he should ask Princess Qi to give a banquet to the ministers and others. Thank you, that’s what I’m doing.”
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he immediately made the decision: "Okay, I will make the decision now. When spring comes next year and the flowers bloom, my princess and I will host a banquet for everyone to enjoy the flowers in my peach garden. How about letting my princess write a poem to thank you personally?" "
"The relationship is good. I thank you in advance. Your Highness will not be a simp when the time comes."
Zhu Qiyu and all the ministers had a joke. Everyone talked to each other and directed Chen Xun to draw up the decree, and then they dispersed and went home.
By the time Zhu Qiyu returned home happily, it was already dark.
As soon as they entered the backyard this time, Lin Xiangyu personally took the maid out.
Seeing Zhu Qiyu's springy face, Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "What is so happy about it, His Highness's face is blooming with joy?"
Zhu Qiyu picked up Lin Xiangyu and walked into the bathroom. He just smiled and said: "It's done, it's all done. When the imperial edict comes tomorrow, you will be the official Princess Qi."
"The ministers just agreed?"
"Yes, the ministers have helped me think of a lot of nice words for you. I also promised to hold a banquet in person to thank them when spring comes next year."
Lin Xiangyu still didn't believe it: "Is it that simple? Ministers are too talkative."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Today, the ministers have already asked in front of the Queen Mother to make me the emperor and respect the emperor's brother as the supreme emperor. You have thought this far, do the ministers still offend me for the matter of establishing a concubine?
In addition, they also agreed to the proposal to temporarily use the Yingzhou Guards as the personal guards of King Qi during the period of defending the capital.
The queen mother personally agreed to let her mother live out of the palace as the concubine of Qi Wang. "
Lin Xiangyu praised with admiration: "Your Highness is so capable. He just fooled around and got things done."
Zhu Qiyu said modestly: "It's not that I'm great, but that my father only has two sons. If there were a few more, the Queen Mother would not allow me to ask for high prices, and would have kicked me back to my grandma's house."
Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu leaned into Zhu Qiyu's ear and laughed softly: "Xuanmiao only has two sons. Is it the Queen Mother's own choice?"
Zhu Qiyu chuckled and said: "Princess Shengming, that's it. The cruelty of the struggle in this harem is really shocking. It's not something that kind people like us can play around with. Let's take a good couple's bath."
Tomorrow morning I will continue to go to Xungui's house to offer sacrifices, and in the afternoon I will receive the imperial edict. The day after tomorrow we will go to the palace together to express our gratitude, and then we will return the favor to the Empress Dowager Sun. "
Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu teased: "Why are you still crying, Your Highness? How many families have died in total?"
Zhu Qiyu sighed and replied helplessly: "Not counting those who have already cried, there seem to be seventeen families left. If you are willing to listen, I will read the list to you: Gongshun Hou Wu Kezhong, Wu Jinbo Zhu Mian, Yongshun Bo Xue Shou, Prince Consort Jingyuan, Pingxiang Bo Chen Huai, Xiangcheng Bo Li Zhen, Sui'an Bo Chen Xun, Xiu Wu Bo Shen Rong.
Wang Zuo, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Kuang Ye, Minister of the Ministry of War, Cao Nai and Zhang Yi, both cabinet ministers. The governors were Liang Cheng and Wang Gui.
Ding Xuan, the minister of justice, Wang Yonghe, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Deng Qi, the deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. "
Lin Xiangyu was dumbfounded: "Why are there so many people?"
"What do you think? The Ming Dynasty's most elite soldiers from Beijing and Shaanxi and Gansu were transferred from 100,000 to 150,000 by Jingyuan Bo and Ningyang Marquis and took them to the south to suppress the rebellion.
Of the remaining elite troops left in the north, 40,000 were killed in the battle of Yanghekou last month; 50,000 were killed in the battle of Yaoerling this month.
The remaining people were all killed in the Tumu Fort half a month ago. So far, there are no more elite Ming troops in the north, and the nobles in the north are almost dead.
It's such a mess. If we really still have 100,000 cavalry in hand first, then we can clean up and prepare to hang ourselves. "
Lin Xiangyu's expression changed due to being frightened, but Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, smiled and said comfortingly: "I just said casually, if there were really 100,000 cavalry, they would have arrived in Beijing by now.
The cause of the whole thing was that the big men in the Ministry of War gave blind orders and blindly urged the Marquis of Xining and others to go to war when the intelligence was wrong. As a result, 40,000 troops were destroyed at Yanghekou, which finally triggered the emperor's brother's personal expedition.
If mediocrity harms the country, sooner or later I will liquidate these people in the Ministry of War. "
After Zhu Qiyu said that, he shook his head again and denied his statement: "No, no, no, sooner or later the emperor will settle accounts with the people from the Ministry of War. I can't just let me do things that offend people. I will do it from now on. In the future, I must change my mind, be a good person, and be a kind-hearted but ridiculous Prince of Absurdity.”
Lin Xiangyu laughed when she heard this and said, "May I ask Prince Ridiculous, where do you plan to build our new palace?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "I've thought about this a long time ago. Let's go to bed first. After we make out, I'll talk to you slowly."
