When Concubine Wu Xian heard this, she immediately shook her head. The title proposed by the Ministry of Rites was far from what she expected.
Not daring to count on these ministers who couldn't even flatter themselves, Concubine Wu Xian turned to Lin Xiangyu and asked: "Daughter-in-law, you have also read some books, please think of a title for me."
Lin Xiangyu hurriedly replied: "My daughter-in-law is just a little princess. How dare she choose the title of Crown Princess? It's better to ask the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the cabinet to come up with it."
Hearing this, Concubine Wu Xian turned to the ministers and said, "I know you, you all want to make Princess Wang, the Queen of Yin, Queen. As for my daughter-in-law, you think she is of low origin and you look down on her.
But have you ever thought that my background is lower than that of my wife? She is still innocent after all, but I am a palace maid who has been convicted of treason.
Having said that, both of us are not to your liking, so I think forget it, there is no need to take this title anymore, let's all go away, and you can go back to whatever you want to do. "
Before the ministers could respond, Wang Wen stood up and replied: "Mothers are valued by their children, and wives are honored by their husbands. This has been the rule since ancient times. Concubine Toffee is your Majesty's biological mother, and Concubine Qi is your majesty's wife. Their titles have been determined and cannot be changed. , please don’t worry, Princess.
As for the title of the concubine, it should be in line with the concubine's wishes. As long as the concubine likes it, it’s okay for the concubine Qi to draft it. "
When Concubine Wu Xian heard this, her face brightened slightly: "Since the elders have agreed, my wife, please continue."
Lin Xiangyu just replied: "Then the daughter-in-law overstepped her authority: Xuanzhe means Bu, Zhao, Tong, and Ming.
Yi is gentle, holy and kind, dedicated and beautiful.
The daughter-in-law believes that the person who can show the virtues of her mother and concubine is none other than 'Xuan Yi'. "
When Concubine Wu Xian heard this, she was really overjoyed. She was devoted to the Tao and had no fight with the world, so she was clear-minded, gentle and holy. She could become the only surviving concubine of Xuanzong and enjoy endless wealth. She was dedicated and beautiful.
Concubine Wu Xian made another simple association: Xuan is also the Xuanzong of Xuanzong; Yi is also the Yi of Yizhi. To make a pun, as a concubine of Xuanzong, although she does not have the name of Queen Mother, she has the actual status of Queen Mother, and she also deserves the name Yi.
Thinking of this, Concubine Wu Xian smiled at the ministers and said: "It's Xuan Yi, but I only need this title, and I won't receive any other courtesy, let alone support from the court.
My daughter-in-law is extremely filial and takes good care of me. Now I am living with my son and daughter-in-law. I don’t need anything, so I don’t want to cost the court any more, let alone increase the burden on the people. "
The ministers could not agree. As the chief assistant, Chen Xun hurriedly advised: "As His Majesty's biological mother, the concubine should be raised by the world. How can she not be worshiped by the court? This has never been the case in all dynasties."
Concubine Wu Xian waved her hand: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to say anything anymore. The emperor is public-spirited and puts the people of the world first. I can't hold the emperor back. I'd better avoid those false gifts and try to reduce the burden on the people."
In order to avoid further entanglement among the ministers, Zhu Qiyu immediately asked: "Yu Shangshu, is there any military report from the northwest?"
When Yu Qian heard this, he was greatly surprised. Why did the emperor ask so accurately? The military report from the northwest arrived late last night. The emperor asked about the northwest early this morning. Is this possible?
In fact, Zhu Qiyu just estimated that Xing'an Hou's military report was coming soon, so he asked casually.
Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Your Majesty, Xu Heng, the Marquis of Xing'an who was guarding Shaanxi Province, reported: There are general military officers guarding the borders of Shaanxi Province. I am living in peace in the interior. I am frightened and beg to summon 5,000 Qin Wang's troops. When he returned to Beijing to serve as a follower, he bravely killed the thieves when encountering the police."
Zhu Qiyu was so happy when he heard this that he almost cried with joy: It has been so difficult recently. The nobles in the capital, dead and injured, old and young, can't make two even after a long time. Here comes a useful person.
Well now, finally a reliable and capable gentleman is coming back. This Marquis of Xing'an accompanied Taizong in his northern expeditions to Mongolia many times, and later participated in the expeditions to Jiaozhi and Wuliangha. He was considered a veteran with long experience in the battlefield and outstanding military exploits, which was especially rare among nobles.
If such a person did not come out again, Zhu Qiyu would be depressed to death. He would take a ten-year-old Ding Guogong around every day. He could not even get three or two big cats and kittens together, and he would feel embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu told Qian: "Order Xing'an Marquis to mobilize some elite border troops, gather a total of 5,000 people, and quickly enter the capital."
Yu Qian also wanted to dissuade him: "What about Shaanxi? A large number of Shaanxi's elite border troops were originally transferred to the south by Jingyuan Bo and Ningyang Marquis. Now that another five thousand people are transferred, Shaanxi's defense will be even more empty. If Dalu Kou Bian may not be able to resist."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "What are you afraid of? We are short of people, and Ye Xian is short of people first. He will also have to deploy all his elite troops to besiege the capital. Then we will fight with Ye Xiu in the capital. After this battle, within five years, Wala will It will fall apart.”
When Yu Qian heard this, he had no choice but to obey. But the ministers present did not believe that Oara would collapse within five years.
Zhu Qiyu will die within five years before he has the nerve to say it, otherwise the ministers will go crazy.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Qiyu continued to ask: "I will call myself the King of Huai first. I want to give Boyan Timur and Alazhiyuan the title of king of one word, so as to sow discord between them. What do you think?" Woolen cloth?"
When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other in shock: Most people would never think of doing such an immoral thing. Only this ridiculous new king, who is a talented person for the Supreme Emperor Na Yexian's sister, and wants to crown Boyan Timur and Alazhiyuan as kings, just doesn't let them live a good life in peace, and he has to give People create all sorts of obstacles.
Seeing that the ministers were still silent, Zhu Qiyu urged: "Don't just stand there in a daze. Let's talk. Let's talk. Yu Shangshu, you say it first."
Yu Qian replied: "I think it's okay, we just pretend to be a prince, and we don't give land or salary. Boyan Timur has always been close to our Ming Dynasty court, and Alazhiyuan is attacking our hinterland of Ming Dynasty. The performance is not positive either.
We can completely divide them. If we succeed, only Ye Xian's own troops will be the only ones who are really responsible for the attack. As for Boyan Timur and Alazhiyuan, it is very likely that they will not be able to work hard, and our defensive pressure will be greatly reduced. "
The remaining ministers had basically never been involved in military matters. Seeing that the emperor and the Minister of War agreed, they all expressed their approval.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu smiled apologetically: "I originally wanted to have a casual chat with you, but in front of the concubine, we started talking about military and political affairs again.
Oops, I really can’t help it. Now that I can’t say a few words, I think of going to the hospital first. It seems that we can only wait until Wala is defeated and the eldest brother is welcomed back, then we can relax. "
Without waiting for the ministers to answer, Zhu Qiyu changed his tone: "Whenever I open my eyes every day, I have to think about military and political affairs. I don't have any energy to take care of the affairs in the government. They are all managed by these women. With.
We can't just let people work like cows and horses, working in vain without any name or distinction, right?
Therefore, I want to canonize two more princesses, so that my family will have one princess and two princesses, with a total of three princesses.
In addition, I will grant twelve more concubines. In this way, I want these fifteen concubines in total, and I don't need the court to support them. All you have to do is agree to give them titles. Isn't this request too much? "
Several ministers looked at each other, and then Hu Hui replied: "Your Majesty has ascended the throne, and it is appropriate for you to confer concubines. But I think you should still confer them as imperial concubines, noble concubines, and concubines. Instead of just concubines, concubines, and concubines. The names of concubines and side concubines are consecrated."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, people must be content, and contentment can lead to long-lasting happiness. What does the princess say, do you want to go to the palace and become the imperial concubine?"
Lin Xiangyu laughed when she heard this and said: "The slave family doesn't want to, it's good to be free as a princess. The Forbidden City is just a golden birdcage. Whoever wants to live there can live there. Anyway, the slave family has to stay far away from it."
When the minister heard this, he cursed in his heart: Didn't Princess Qi deliberately make people angry? You don't want to be the imperial concubine. Now your left hand holds the power to take care of the emperor, and your right hand holds the power to raise the prince. You are more empty-handed than the empty Queen Qian. There is more scenery.
Among all the women in the entire Ming Dynasty, who has the most power now, you are only average, only ranked third, and you are still getting an advantage here and acting like a good girl.
And then you are all so shrewd that if you don’t live in the Forbidden City, how can we, the ministers, kill you?
If you are allowed to have children freely in Prince Qi's palace, fifteen women will be able to give birth to several sons in a few years. How will you be able to get rid of your lineage of Prince Qi and still be in the line of the Supreme Emperor? pulse. "
Lin Xiangyu looked at the changing expressions of the ministers and smiled secretly in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She still said with a smile: "You ministers have come so early, so you probably haven't had time to have a good breakfast. I asked the maids to prepare it." I ordered some snacks for everyone to try."
Zhu Qiyu stood up and said with a smile: "The princess is right, you can eat something raw and then go back to deal with government affairs. I want to go out to inspect military affairs, so I won't accompany you."
The ministers all stood up to see each other off. When Zhu Qiyu was about to leave, a maid came in and reported: "Toffee, princess, the royal concubine in the palace has sent a hundred pieces of Sichuan brocade and several boxes of jewelry. Please check it out."
