Zhu Qiyu was overjoyed when he heard this. The long-awaited Marquis of Xing'an finally came back.
As the saying goes, a thousand pieces of gold is easy to get, but a general is hard to find.
If the allegiance of Xing'an Hou is obtained, then Xing'an Hou and his 5,000 elite border troops can control at least 30,000 Beijing troops.
In this way, we can finally get rid of the current embarrassing situation. Otherwise, the troops in the capital camp will be either generals recommended by Yu Qian or nobles who are close to the emperor. If you look around with wide eyes, you can't find anyone who is half an emperor. Come on hardcore.
Zhu Qiyu counted on his fingers: The Marquis of Xing'an is calculated as 30,000 people, plus the 30,000 people of Daning Dusi, and nearly 10,000 people of the Royal Horse Guards, he can control a total of 70,000 troops, which is barely enough to be a trader.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu stood up and walked out excitedly.
Lin Xiangyu saw this and hurriedly grabbed her: "My lord, why are you going? It's still early for the guests to arrive, and the food hasn't been prepared yet. You can only drink from the northwest wind when you go out now."
Zhu Qiyu asked with an innocent face: "Okay, why are you pulling me? Who is crazy enough to drink the northwest wind? I want to go to my Zhongshu people to see if they have any ideas that can help me as soon as possible Win over the Marquis of Xing'an."
Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu teased: "It turns out that this is just sharpening a gun before the battle. The slave family finally saw it."
"No, no, no. After two days, I will go to the secret treasury to select the rewards, and I will let my beloved concubine see what it is like to truly sharpen a weapon in battle.
But today is because I have recruited two new people from Zhongshushe. One is Yao Xian, who advocates suppressing Buddhism in the Imperial Academy, and the other is Ye Sheng, recommended by He Yi, who is both talented in politics and good at writing.
This Yao Xian I intend to train as a confidant, and Ye Sheng I intend to train as a minister, and let him be responsible for compiling history for me.
I am going to meet these two newcomers now, and throw the problem of winning over Xing'an Marquis to them to see if they can provide some new ideas. "
Now Lin Xiangyu swung it on her fingers: "Husband, let me count the numbers for you. You have now taken in six middle school students.
Now, you are Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone on the street knows it. Not to mention those ministers who have been in the officialdom for decades, even the slave family has discovered that you specially recruit some young talents who have been awarded Jinshi in their twenties and prepare to train them from scratch.
Less than a month after you took the throne, you already have six middle school students. If you wait twenty or thirty years, all the important ministers in the court will be replaced by your direct confidants. "
Zhu Qiyu smiled confidently and said: "Emperor, you need to engage in more conspiracy like this. Don't just make sarcastic remarks.
Let me tell you, among these are the people's clothing, food, housing, and transportation; the family's weddings, funerals, marriages, and marriages. The difficulties in their lives, their hobbies in daily life, and the gifts they give during holidays are all your responsibility. Let me tell you first, I don’t intend to worry about it at all. "
Lin Xiangyu heard this, threw herself into Zhu Qiyu's arms, and said with a faint smile: "It's easy to say, as long as your husband feeds us fifteen sisters, we will definitely take care of them inside and out. If you let your husband fuck you, For a little while, you can whip us."
At this time, Zhu Qiyu not only started to clasp his fingers, but also activated his brain with all his strength, and quickly searched for the sages he knew.
In the end, only one person was found, and that was Ji Yun and Ji Xiaolan.
It turns out that the sage he wanted to compete with turned out to be the Grand Scholar of Ji.
This is recorded in "Insect Song Manji": "Ji Wenda Gong said that he was a wild monster who turned around... and he was the king of several women every day. The five drums are like once in the morning, once when returning to the apartment, once at noon, once in the evening, and once when lying down. Indispensable.
Zhu Qiyu counted on his fingers. Even if he was as powerful as Ji Xiaolan, he had fifteen women. If he had to control five women every day, it would only take three days for him to take turns, which would be barely enough.
Fortunately, Zhu Qiyu felt a little comforted when he thought that the great scholar had lived to be eighty-two years old. He couldn't help looking up to the sky and sighing: "The great scholar who disciplines the public is my true teacher."
"Well, what did your husband just say?"
"Nothing, nothing. I mean those people from Zhongshushe are knowledgeable and talented. They will be enough to become bachelors and teachers for our children in the future."
After saying that, Zhu Qiyu ran away in despair.
…
But in the West Flower Hall, Ye Sheng and Yao Xian arrived early.
The four former Zhongshushe people, Bai Gui and Xiang Zhong, were all focused on processing the memorial, while Huang Pu went on a mission to Wala.
Only He Yi, like Zhu Qiyu, never liked reading memorials. Therefore, Zhu Qiyu entrusted him with the task of bringing in new people.
He Yi was very competent at this job. He took Ye Sheng and Yao Xian and explained all the matters in detail.
Nowadays, everyone in the imperial court knows that He Yi is the new emperor's most trusted adviser, so Ye Sheng and Yao Xian listened carefully and then asked He Yi sincerely for advice on how to accompany the emperor.
He Yi smiled and said to Yao Xian: "Brother Wei, just by virtue of this memorial of suppressing the Buddha, you will soon become famous all over the world. Even if several of us here are tied together, none of us can be as good as Brother Wei." People have great reputations.
It's about time you caught up. Your Majesty, Princess Xuanyi, and Princess Qi are all Taoists, and none of them like Buddhism.
When you submitted the memorial, you also knew that the risks involved were huge. If someone else takes power, Brother Wei, just wait and study at home until you die. No one will dare to use you in the future. "
Yao Xian replied: "These disciples and monks of Buddhism are not engaged in production and are of no benefit to the country. Instead, they only focus on repairing temples, occupying people's fields, extravagantly comparing themselves to others, and wasting money and people."
No one, whether it was the elders in the cabinet or the ministers such as Yu Shaobao from the Sixth Department, dared to stand up and say a word for the people.
I feel like it's stuck in my throat and I can't vomit. Even if my life is at risk, I still want to report it to the public. It’s really not for the title of the picture. "
He Yi nodded: "Brother Wei, Your Majesty agrees very much with your proposal, but this matter cannot be rushed, it must be done step by step. Brother Wei, do your best, your Majesty will be of great use to you in the future.
Our West Flower Hall is not easy to enter, but those who can sit here are all talents that His Majesty is very optimistic about and must focus on cultivating. "
Hearing this, Ye Sheng asked again: "Brother Xing Yi, if we have anything to pay attention to when we are in front of His Majesty, please give us some advice."
He Yi smiled and said: "As I said just now, Your Majesty loves Taoism and hates Buddhism, and likes concise and capable ways of discussing politics. He also likes simple and natural elegance in life.
For example, His Majesty likes simple clothes and hates complicated patterns. He rarely even wears dragon robes. Your Majesty also hates wood, bronze, gold, and silverware. Like crystal clear things, such as jade, colored glaze, jade, pearls, etc.
Your Majesty is also quite a womanizer and likes the most delicate and delicate beauties. There are now a total of fifteen beloved concubines in this mansion, and His Majesty dotes on them all very much. It is not a big deal for you to offend His Majesty.
But you must not offend these beloved concubines, otherwise His Majesty will be furious. When the time comes, don't blame me for not informing you in advance. "
Ye Sheng and Yao Xian were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they clearly felt the great respect He Yi received from the holy family. If it were ordinary people, who would dare to talk about the emperor like this.
The three of them were chatting animatedly when Zhu Qiyu walked in leisurely from outside.
After everyone saluted, Zhu Qiyu called everyone over and sat together on the couch around the small coffee table.
Zhu Qiyu didn't waste any time and got straight to the point: "I ordered the Marquis of Xing'an to lead five thousand elite border troops to the capital to serve the king. Now he has arrived in the capital.
I have a question: Tell me about the Marquis of Xing'an and the military power in the capital. "
