Zhu Qiyu carried Lin Xiangyu to the bed and was about to kiss her, but was stopped by the beauty.
Before Zhu Qiyu could ask, Lin Xiangyu handed over a ribbon.
Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "I play with few women, and I know very little. What is this for?"
"His Highness covers the slave's eyes with a ribbon, so he can insult the slave as much as he likes."
Zhu Qiyu suddenly realized: "Oh, that's it. Can I say anything I want?"
Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "Of course, His Highness spent 200,000 taels to buy the Nu family. His Highness can say whatever he wants and do whatever he likes."
Zhu Qiyu praised: "It's very wonderful, very wonderful. From now on, the king will have to go to court early."
…
A night of nothing to say, a night of nothing.
Early the next morning, Zhu Qiyu hurried out of the house and went to the homes of the five nobles to mourn. It wasn't until the afternoon that I dragged my exhausted body back home.
After resting for less than half an hour, the decree of formal canonization came down.
The imperial court took it seriously and sent Wang Wen, the censor of Zuodu, to deliver the order in person.
Zhu Qiyu happily accepted the order and asked Wang Wen to stay for dinner. Wang Wen hurriedly declined and said: "Your Highness is here to stay. I shouldn't have resigned. It's just that this decree has been divided into two parts. I have to go to Prince Tan's Mansion to convey it again."
Zhu Qiyu then gave up and asked Cheng Jing to accompany Wang Wen to Prince Xin's Mansion to convey the decree and dismiss the concubines from Prince Xin's Mansion.
Wang Wen said goodbye and took Cheng Jing to Prince Yin's Mansion again.
Princess Wang's concubine Wang and concubine Hang's concubine, hearing that there was a decree, rushed out to welcome him.
Wang Wen did not dare to stay longer, and left in a hurry after delivering the order.
However, surprisingly, both Wang and Hang were relatively calm after receiving the order.
Even the Hang family was a little happy: she originally thought that she would continue to fight with the Wang family endlessly. If the Wang family gave birth to another son in the future, then her son Zhu Jianji would only be the county king. But he didn't expect that his son would suddenly transform and officially become a prince, which would save him a lot of trouble.
Mrs. Wang didn't mind too much. After all, she was still the royal wife and she had everything to say in Prince Xi's palace. The price of Lumi in the Prince's Palace has just been increased from 10,000 dan to 12,000 dan, and life will be better in the future.
When Cheng Jing saw such a scene, he was a little speechless. His Highness was really unpopular.
Anyway, the princess in front of her showed no intention of accommodating Zhu Qiyu. Now that Zhu Qiyu is no longer in charge, and there is no adult male master in the house, other people in the palace are secretly happy.
The only reason is that the original King of Yin, Zhu Qiyu, had poor skills, and the Wang family and the Hang family were still relatively young, so they had no interest in sex. Now, without Zhu Qiyu, it doesn't matter at all.
Cheng Jing was stunned for a long time, and then he could only reply: "To the concubine, Your Highness has something to say. If the concubine in the palace is willing to leave, I will give you three hundred taels of silver and let her return free."
However, as soon as these words came out, Wang just said "oh" in response. The other concubines also reacted indifferently and had no intention of leaving the palace.
Cheng Jing didn't say anything more. Anyway, the message was conveyed by itself. Whether you want to leave or not is none of my business.
Wang was too lazy to make a show and didn't even give Cheng Jing the silver reward. Both parties formally said goodbye.
When Cheng Jing returned to Qi Mansion dejectedly, he saw that his master was not there, and a group of guards in the courtyard were carrying more than a dozen large corals six or seven feet high outside.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Jing hurriedly grabbed one of the guards and asked, "Where is your highness? Where is the princess? What are you doing in such a lively manner? Are you confiscating your home?"
The guard smiled and said: "Poor Your Highness, he was caught in the palace again. The princess is in the Hanwang Mansion next door, cleaning up the palace for our concubine Qi. These treasures were ordered by the princess to be carried over and given to our old concubine. To decorate the house.”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Jing had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and rushed to the Han Mansion next door.
But he said that Zhu Qiyu was arrested in the palace again. As soon as he entered Bunren Hall, he complained to Chen Xun and others: "You said that all of you are top elites with rich knowledge and rich knowledge. If you have political affairs, you can just handle it. Why do you have to deal with it?" I caught them here and there.”
Chen Xun helplessly replied: "Your Highness, please don't say that. There are some things that we have the final say on. There are still many things that we, the ministers, cannot make decisions about."
Zhu Qiyu had to sit on the couch next to him and smiled at everyone: "It's not easy to supervise a country. It's better to welcome the emperor back as soon as possible. Okay, then you can talk about it."
Hearing this, Chen Xun brought a large pile of memoranda to Zhu Qiyu and took the lead in saying: "Your Highness, these inscriptions are for the civil and military officials to impeach the guilty officials such as Zhenyuan Marquis Gu Xingzu and others who escaped, and demanded that these criminals be abandoned by the emperor and escape privately. The minister clarified the canonical punishment.
In addition, the ministers also impeached the British Duke Zhang Fu and other nobles, as well as the accompanying ministers, ministers, censors, bachelors and other civil officials. They failed to correct His Majesty in time, so that His Majesty was restrained by treacherous ministers and suffered in the dust. The ministers hope to correct the crime of incompetence of these civil and military officials. "
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Don't bother with the civil and military ministers who have died for the country. The failure of the war is not the fault of these ministers. Give sacrifices to those who deserve sacrifices, and grant titles to those who deserve them.
In the face of a national crisis, the ministers and nobles who fled back were allowed to make meritorious deeds. The Marquis of Zhenyuan, Gu Xingzu, was ordered to serve as the deputy commander-in-chief and guard Fucheng Gate. If he is successful in defending the city, his previous sins will be pardoned. Other criminals should follow the same routine. "
After Chen Xun finished playing, Yu Qian came up again and said: "Your Highness, Sun An, Yang Jun and others, who are guarding Dushi, Maying and other places, have written a letter saying that the force of Wa La is so powerful that it is difficult to resist with divided troops. I hope they can gather at Juyong Pass to station, thinking that The capital supports you. Please tell me how to reply, Your Highness."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he glanced at Yu Qian faintly, and then replied: "According to what he played."
Yu Qian continued: "Changping Bo Yang Hong sent someone to send a piece of yellow paper. The pirates claimed that it was His Majesty's handwritten edict and sent it to Xuanfu City. Yang Hong did not dare to be expert, so he sent someone back to the court for identification."
Zhu Qiyu took the yellow paper, read it carefully, and handed it to Chen Xun: "We usually see His Majesty's handwriting the most. Please pass it around and have a good appraisal."
Before Zhu Qiyu came, the ministers had actually read it, and now they pretended to read it again.
Then the scene froze.
In any case, Zhu Qiyu refused to draw a conclusion on the authenticity of the yellow paper document on the grounds that he was not familiar with the emperor's handwriting.
The ministers present were also unwilling to draw conclusions easily.
This matter is very offending, especially if the emperor comes back in the future, he will wait for the queen to settle accounts.
Zhu Qiyu was more Buddhist about this matter: Anyway, if you ministers say it is true, it is true; if you say it is false, it is false. I don't care, it has nothing to do with me. It is absolutely unacceptable for me to take the blame for something that does no good and offend others.
So everyone in the palace looked at each other for a long time, and then Zhu Qiyu said: "As Mr. Chen Ge said, there are some things that we ministers cannot decide. We should send someone to invite the Queen Mother."
This was the only way. Everyone immediately responded and sent people to invite the Queen Mother.
When Empress Dowager Sun came to Bunren Hall and read the yellow paper documents, she was also silent.
Empress Dowager Sun also had a headache. The document also ordered Ye Xian and others to be rewarded with property. Although everyone knows that this is the emperor's own handwriting, if the document is recognized as authentic, then are everyone following the imperial edict or not?
Not obeying the imperial edict means resisting the imperial edict. If you obey the imperial edict, you must first ask for property. Will there be a day when it can stop?
Empress Dowager Sun also understood the key, and after a while she replied: "This book is a fraud. If there is such a document in the future, the general will reject it regardless of its authenticity."
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly shouted in unison: "The Queen Mother is wise."
Queen Mother Sun snorted imperceptibly, and everyone ignored her. After all, everyone had obtained the Queen Mother's decree and could act confidently.
Then the scene became awkward again. Everyone hoped that Queen Mother Sun could go back to the harem after confirming the authenticity of the yellow paper, but they couldn't say it directly.
Zhu Qiyu wanted to laugh, but he didn't want to speak.
Empress Dowager Sun asked everyone: "Ma Shun was beaten to death by you, and now the chief officer of Jinyiwei is still vacant. Jinyiwei is responsible for the inner palace guard, which is related to the safety of the palace itself. Can I ask, do you plan to let Who will take over Jinyiwei?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other again. Although the appointment of Jin Yiwei is a matter for the imperial court, it is also related to the inner court guards. Empress Dowager Sun is concerned about her own safety, so it is reasonable to ask, and it is not easy for everyone to refute.
So everyone looked at each other and then all looked at Zhu Qiyu.
When Zhu Qiyu saw that the pot was coming again, he had no choice but to stand up and reply: "To report to the Queen Mother, I believe that my uncle Sun Jizong is mature, steady, capable, diligent in state affairs, loyal and reliable, and should be promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of the Capital, in charge of the royal guards."
"Accurate."
Empress Dowager Sun agreed readily, and without waiting for the ministers' reaction, she got up and went back to Cining Palace.
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I'm tired too. If you have anything to do, we'll discuss it tomorrow. Let's all be dismissed."
Empress Dowager Sun walked forward, and Zhu Qiyu also got up and left, leaving only the ministers with puzzled faces.
Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qiyu both agreed on things that no one can overturn now.
The ministers could only gather together in twos and threes and discuss.
Chen Xun pulled Yu Qian and Wang Wen aside and asked curiously: "Yu Shangshu, you have more contact with His Highness. Can you tell me what's going on with His Highness recently?"
