After listening to Cui Wenxiu's words, Yu Qian nodded repeatedly: "Hey, since ancient times, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. The meaning is sinister and profound, which makes people shudder. Sir, please analyze it with me from beginning to end to see if there are any hidden meanings in His Majesty's words. What important information I missed."
Cui Wenxiu replied in embarrassment: "There are some things that I can't discuss. I have to forgive me first."
"Okay, now it's just you and me, you can say whatever you want."
Cui Wenxiu cleared her throat and said something shocking: "Ming Gong, I think the emperor is here for you today, or for the Ministry of War. The Emperor has accumulated considerable dissatisfaction with the Ministry of War. It’s so uncomfortable that I can’t vomit.”
Yu Qian's face turned even more ugly: "How do you say this? Please explain it to me in detail, sir."
Cui Wenxiu analyzed with her fingers: "You see, Mr. Ming, Chief Assistant Chen Ge's attitude towards Your Majesty has always been very good. Your Majesty has no reason to target him for the time being. Wang Zhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, has always been mature and prudent, taciturn, and Your Majesty has no conflict, and your Majesty has no intention of disturbing the staff for the time being.
Hu Hu, the Minister of Rites, has been in charge of the Ministry of Rites for so many years, and his power is not strong enough. Therefore, although there have been frequent conflicts with His Majesty, His Majesty is not too narrow-minded, and both parties can get along for the time being.
As for Shang Ren and Peng Shi, they have just joined the cabinet and are far from being worthy of your Majesty's attention. Wang Wen, the censor of Zuodu, has already taken refuge with His Majesty, and His Majesty is definitely not targeting him.
So everyone else has been eliminated, and you are the only one left. Moreover, it is unreasonable to place the blame entirely on Wang Zhen alone for the disaster in Shanxi.
The Ministry of War indeed has a great responsibility, and Yang Hong has almost become the governor of the Xuanfu. It is very logical for His Majesty to be dissatisfied with the Ministry of War. No one can be happy regardless of who is the emperor. "
Yu Qian sighed when he heard this: "I was just transferred back to the capital and served in the Ministry of War for just over a year. The good things the Ministry of War did in Shanxi cannot be blamed on me."
Cui Wenxiu added: "Please take a look at the several things discussed today. The first one is that Li Rang collaborated with the enemy, married Yexian's brother, and betrayed our army's intelligence. In fact, His Majesty didn't care at all about how Li Rang dealt with him. Your Majesty has no choice but to attack Datong and Xuanfu first.
The second thing is that Yang Hong, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, privately issued weapons. Although His Majesty shouted fiercely, he sent a large army to surround the Xuanfu soldiers and threatened to kill the nine tribes of Yang Hong. But with the chaos in the South like that, Your Majesty will not send back the elite Southern troops unless absolutely necessary.
Your Majesty's original intention is probably to beat the Ministry of War and the Shanxi military leaders, just for fun, don't go too far. If you really want to get involved in the military power and support the self-respect of the troops, then the emperor will really kill people.
The third thing is that Xinchengbo Zhao Rong was imprisoned, and regarding the management of the Three Thousand Battalion and the Shenji Battalion, it seemed that His Majesty's words were rejected. But it is very likely that His Majesty's original intention was to promote Fan Guang.
The fourth thing was to transfer Anyuan Hou Liu Pu back to the capital. It was impossible for His Majesty to agree to it. Fifthly, His Majesty originally wanted to reprimand Yu Shiyue and Xu Jue for sending their families back to the south. The sixth thing is that King Zhao requested to go to Beijing to serve the King, which His Majesty would never have agreed to.
The seventh item was to make Alazhiyuan and Boyan Timur kings in order to alienate Wala. This was originally agreed upon and there is nothing to analyze. In the eighth case, Guo Jing and other members of Wang Zhen's gang were imprisoned and their property confiscated. His Majesty was the one who benefited. He probably had wanted to do this for a long time. "
Yu Qian nodded: "In other words, although His Majesty seems to have been refuted many times, in fact he has lost nothing and has quietly completed a series of arrangements.
If we hadn't come back and analyzed everything one by one, His Majesty would have almost been fooled by it. "
Cui Wenxiu shook his head: "That's not all, His Majesty also specifically pointed out that he wants Wang Wen to repeat today's agenda to the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so that they can also discuss it.
By tomorrow, the news will have spread throughout the country, and everyone in the civil and military dynasties will know about it. Naturally, Shi Heng and Sun Boring will also know. Do you think they will hate Duke Ming by then? "
Yu Qian didn't react for a moment: "What do they hate me for?"
"The imperial court had basically agreed to confer Shi Heng as Count Wu Qingbo, and it was Duke Ming who insisted on preventing His Majesty from detaining Yang Hong. However, in anger, His Majesty stopped the canonization of count. Not only was Yang Hong's count missing, Shi Heng also suffered.
Moreover, His Majesty originally wanted to promote Shi Heng to the position of Governor-General of the Left and take charge of three thousand battalions, but he was rejected by Duke Ming. Do you think Shi Heng could not hate you?
Let's talk about Sun Boring. His Majesty originally wanted to capture Yang Hong and then promote Sun Boring to the right governor and serve as the chief military officer of Xuan Mansion. As a result, despite your opposition, Yang Hong retained his position, but Sun Boring lost the opportunity to be promoted.
Blocking people from getting promoted to high positions is like killing your parents, Ming Gong. Shi Heng and Sun Boring attach great importance to fame and wealth. It would be strange if they didn't hate you.
And the most terrifying thing is that His Majesty seems to be deliberately instigating Shi Heng and Sun Boring to hate Duke Ming. "
Yu Qian broke into a cold sweat when he heard this: "You're not telling me that I really didn't think of this for a moment. Are you saying that His Majesty deliberately proposed to give Shi Heng and Sun Boring promotions and titles, knowing that I would refute them? The purpose is to sow discord between me and Shi Heng and Sun Boring?"
Cui Wenxiu looked serious, nodded slightly and said nothing.
Yu Qian sighed heavily again: "Your Majesty's heart is really as deep as the sea. His Majesty has been suspicious of me for less than half a month after taking power. Wenxiu, what do you think I should do?"
"Things are simple to say the least. According to my observation, His Majesty has basic principles and bottom lines in doing things, and his actions are relatively gentle.
As long as Ming Gong submits a petition and follows the emperor wholeheartedly, nothing will happen.
To be honest, please forgive me, if you have been wavering between the Supreme Emperor, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and you have been trying to get your hands on the military power of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion from time to time, I would have to be suspicious of you anyway if I were in that position. . "
When Yu Qian heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "How should I accept this petition?"
Cui Wenxiu laughed when he heard this and said: "A while ago, didn't Princess Qi say that she would help you find a concubine? Just take the initiative to ask for it. Take the concubine sent by Qi Mansion home, and you will be responsible for everything in the future." I said it in front of my concubine. Let His Majesty’s eyeliner grasp our every word and action, and then everything will be fine.
Ming Gong, don't feel so embarrassed. Xiao He, Prime Minister Xiao, is such a powerful person. In order to dispel the suspicion of Emperor Gao, he did not hesitate to break the law and defile himself.
Now His Majesty has not asked you to break the law and commit suicide. He has only asked you to accept the house and concubine given by the Qi Mansion. This is already considered as gentle as ever. You should stop forcing the emperor. If the emperor insists on sending a large army to Shanxi to carry out a major purge and eliminate the direct line between you and Yang Hong, it will be disgraceful then. "
Hearing this, Yu Qian sighed deeply: "Hey, I understand everything you said. Give me some time and I'll think about it again and think about it carefully."
Here Yu Qian was thinking sadly until late at night, but over there Zhu Qiyu was fully engaged... and found that it was already dark.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Mu Yu and asked with a smile: "Little bitch, are you ready?"
Mu Yu continued to reply charmingly: "The slave family is convinced for the time being."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Okay, little girl, I have stayed with you for three nights in a row. If I favor you again tomorrow, others will rebel.
Besides, I have to quickly train all twelve of your concubines, and then send some of them out. "
Mu Yu was shocked when he heard this: "My dear husband, are you going to give away your sisters again?"
"What are you talking about? Who wants to give it away? I'm sending a few concubines out to choose maids and eunuchs for us. I'm going to buy hundreds of women.
Don’t you want someone to wait on you? Don’t you want me to get a bunch of women in our family and divide them into three, six or nine grades? "
Mu Yu asked curiously: "Buy hundreds of women, and then divide the women in our family into three, six or nine grades. What is the rank of the slave family?"
Zhu Qiyu explained with a smile: "The women in our family are divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. Just like officials, they are divided into nine grades.
The three princesses are of the first rank, and your twelve concubines are of the second rank, second only to the princess.
All the women in the seventh rank below will be equally assigned to the jurisdiction of your twelve concubines, and you will be free to live and kill them.
From now on, I will only take care of the three princesses, and the princess will take care of your twelve concubines. You concubines are in charge of everyone else. "
Hearing this, Mu Yu asked with a smile: "Can't the servants of the slave family be able to take care of dozens of people?"
"Little official fan, that's not all. These are just the women in my harem, plus the pure maids and maids, you can control at least hundreds of people."
