"Oh, then let King Zhao lead his troops to station in Baoding Mansion. When the first troops arrive at the gate of Beijing, let King Zhao lead his troops to Zijingguan to cut off the front and back roads."
The ministers still disagreed, and Yu Qian earnestly advised: "Your Majesty, the court has plenty of troops, and there is no shortage of people at all. There is really no need for the prince to lead the army, and it is far from the point where the prince is required to go into battle to kill the enemy. Besides, if King Zhao is on the battlefield If there is any damage, who will bear the consequences?"
Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to reply: "Then let's do it. According to the cabinet's decree, we will greatly praise King Zhao and comfort him."
After saying that, Zhu Qiyu added: "We agreed before to alienate Wala, but now I want you to draw up a decree:
He granted Boyan Timur the title of loyal king and allowed him to send envoys to pay tribute every year. The number of envoys was 500, which could be increased later as appropriate.
He conferred the title of King Cheng on Alazhiyuan, and allowed him to send envoys to pay tribute every year. The number of envoys was 300, and could be increased later as appropriate.
You can't reject this anymore, can you? "
This was agreed in advance, and the ministers had no objections and expressed their compliance with the order.
Zhu Qiyu asked weakly: "Is everything okay now? I'm tired. I want to go back to sleep."
Chen Xun quickly stopped him again: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, I have something important to report."
"What else?"
"Your Majesty, in the battle of Yanghekou, all the generals were controlled by the eunuch Guo Jing. The division was undisciplined and the entire army was wiped out. Only Guo Jing fell in the grass and escaped alone. Now Guo Jing has escaped back to the capital. , hiding at home.
I ask that Guo Jing be imprisoned and put to death, and that his property be confiscated.
There are also internal officials Chen Yu, internal envoy Tang Tong, and Qin Tianjian Zheng Peng Deqing. They are all members of Wang Zhen's party and have committed many illegal activities. I asked these three people to have their homes searched and imprisoned together with Guo Jing. "
Zhu Qiyu replied: "According to the report, these four people will be interrogated by the three judicial departments. However, Peng Deqing, the chief of the Qintian prison, will let you, the three judicial departments, discuss it and send people to search their homes. Guo Jing, Chen Yu, and Tang Tong are all internal officials. , I will send people to search your home."
After hearing this, the ministers no longer raised any objections and followed the edict one after another. First of all, today I have repeatedly refuted the emperor's face. If I continue to refuse, I am afraid that the emperor will explode.
Secondly, if an internal official commits an offense, the proceeds from the confiscation of a house shall be returned to the internal coffers; if a court official commits an offense, the proceeds from the confiscation of a house shall be returned to the court. This is also the basic principle of confiscating the houses of the Ming Dynasty.
Anyway, the family property of the internal officials would not fall into the hands of the imperial court, so the ministers had no intention of worrying about it.
Seeing that none of the ministers objected, Zhu Qiyu winked at Chaoyun. Chaoyun understood, and got up and went to the backyard to report the news.
All the petitions were passed according to the suggestions of the ministers. The ministers had a great victory today, so they gave up and resigned one after another.
Zhu Qiyu called Wang Wen again and told him: "I have talked about so many things today. Go back and convey it to the censors in the Supervisory Council and let them discuss it."
After that, Zhu Qiyu weakly waved his hand and sent away a group of important ministers.
A group of important ministers walked out of the gate of Qi Mansion. Just as Hu Chong was about to chat with everyone, Yu Qian bowed his hands to everyone and hurriedly got on the sedan chair and left.
Hu Hu helped Taizong find Emperor Jianwen for more than ten years, and served as the Minister of Rites for decades. He was far less sensitive to government affairs than the other old foxes.
The more Yu Qian thought about it, the more he felt that what happened today was unusual, and he was eager to go home and discuss countermeasures with his staff.
Wang Zhi, on the other hand, has always been calm and steady. Although he also felt that today was a bit strange, as long as the emperor did not attack the officials in his charge, Wang Zhi did not bother to take care of it. After leaving the gate of Qi Mansion, he got on the sedan chair and left without saying much.
Shang Ren and Peng Shi had just joined the cabinet and were relatively inexperienced, so they didn't care about what happened today. After all, even if the sky fell, there would still be tall people ahead of them to support them.
Wang Wen had a cold face, obviously unwilling to communicate with the remaining Chen Xun and Hu Hui.
So only Chen Xun and Hu Hui made an appointment to return to Wenyuan Pavilion to continue handling government affairs.
As soon as the ministers left, three well-organized elite guards left the palace and went to ransack the house.
But at this time, only Zhu Qiyu and Mu Yu were left in the West Flower Hall.
Without outsiders around, Zhu Qiyu didn't look like a loser who had suffered setbacks. In a blink of an eye, he put on a relaxed expression, leaned on the backrest, lay down on the soft couch, and smiled at Mu Yu: "You Little girl, why did you laugh when I said I wanted to get rid of Yang Hong?"
Mu Yu replied with a smile:
"When the master was angry with the ministers, I thought of a saying."
Zhu Qiyu heard this and asked curiously: "What is the saying? Tell it and listen."
Mu Yu smiled and said: "Master first forgives the slave's death penalty, otherwise the slave family will not dare to speak out."
"Tell me what I want, I will save my beloved concubine from death."
After receiving the promise, Mu Yu replied with a smile: "When the master was angry with the ministers, the slave couldn't help but think of the folk saying, which is: bite a dog but don't bark, bark a dog but don't bite.
The slave family thought that the master was shouting so ferociously that he was obviously just pretending to scare the ministers. It was the first time that the slave saw his master pretending to be fierce, so he couldn't help but want to laugh. "
Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu pretended to be furious, stood up, pushed Mu Yu onto the bed, and scolded fiercely: "What a little bitch, how dare you arrange your master like this. Although the death penalty can be avoided, the living penalty is unforgivable."
I trained you for two nights in a row, but I still couldn't make you obedient and docile. Well, I don't believe it anymore. I will still favor you tonight. I want to see how stubborn you are, little bitch. "
Like a little sheep, Mu Yu laid her jade body aside and accepted the punishment obediently, allowing Zhu Qiyu to tear off the jade belt and gauze one by one.
When the exquisite curves were unreservedly displayed in front of Zhu Qiyu, Mu Yu closed her eyes tightly again, blushing and whispered back: "Master, please be rude to me."
Zhu Qiyu sighed helplessly: "You little women have made me lose my confidence. I am really so good that you are so willing to give your body, mind and dignity to me without any reservation." Already?"
Mu Yu didn't answer.
What else could be said, Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to bully him.
…
The emperor was at ease at home, but Yu Qian became more and more afraid as he thought about it. He hurried home without even drinking tea, and called his chief aide Cui Wenxiu.
Yu Qian was able to become a Jinshi at the age of twenty-three, so he was naturally a man of profound knowledge and strong memorization. He immediately recited the conversation between the monarch and his ministers in the West Flower Hall to Cui Wenxiu almost word for word.
Cui Wenxiu frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head and replied: "It seems that many of the emperor's edicts were rejected, but is there a possibility that the emperor did not want these edicts to be passed at all? .
For example, King Zhao asked King Qin to come to Beijing, and Marquis Huichang asked to recall Marquis Anyuan. Even if the ministers did not refute, the emperor did not seem to agree. "
