Huang Pu smiled at Luo Tong and said: "Since your Majesty came to the throne, he has been very restrained in appointing officials and rarely promoted others personally. Even the former members of the Prince's Palace, only two people have been promoted.
This time His Majesty is able to promote you to the rank of Minister of War, which means that you are already in the Emperor's heart. As long as you work for His Majesty sincerely, you will be successful in your career in no time. "
Luo Tong was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly thanked him. Then he took out the imperial edict he had just received and asked Huang Pu for advice.
After Huang Pu read it, he didn't say anything. He just stretched out his hand and pointed emphatically at the last paragraph of the edict.
Luo Tong followed Huang Pu's instructions and saw that it was the emperor who asked not to let any Xuanfu soldiers under Yang Hong and Yang Jun cross Juyong Pass. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Brother Xian, is your Majesty's request for General Yang... …”
Huang Pu still didn't speak, just shook his head, and then gave Luo Tong a complicated look.
Luo Tong, as a veteran who had been in the officialdom for many years, immediately understood. Then he began to be afraid: "Yesterday, Yang Jun sent a message requesting to move to Juyongguan. I was going to approve him. Fortunately, Brother Xian reminded him in time, otherwise Brother Fool would have made a big mistake."
The two of them were polite again, but Huang Pu refused to stay in the gate overnight and only urged the envoy to hurry up.
Three days later, in the afternoon, the delegation arrived at Xuanfu Mayi. As soon as they settled in, Yang Hong and his eldest son Yang Jie came to visit them with gifts.
Completely opposite to his attitude towards Luo Tong, Huang Pu was extremely cold towards Yang Hong and his son, and refused to accept gifts. The two parties broke up on bad terms, and in the end Yang Hong was so angry that he slammed the door and left in public.
After Yang Hong left, Yue Qian chased Huang Pu into his room and asked curiously: "Huang Youcheng, why did you treat General Yang like this just now?"
Huang Pu said with a smile: "Commander Yue blames me for confiscating Yang Hong's gift. I'm not an unreasonable corrupt scholar. It's not easy for brothers to travel such a long distance. If the money can be collected, I will let the brothers collect it." .
But as the official envoy of the mission, I must be responsible to my brothers, and my brothers must never accept money from dead people. "
Dead man's money? Yue Qian was even more surprised after hearing this. There are two explanations for this: one is that if you take the money, someone will die, and the other is that Yang Hong, who gave the money, is about to die.
Without waiting for Yue Qian to speak, Huang Pu continued to explain: "I deliberately fell out with Yang Hong in public. On the one hand, I wanted to distance myself from him, and on the other hand, it was for the sake of our safety. Now I have fallen out with him in public. Now, he will not send people to attack the mission on the road. Otherwise, if something happens to the mission, fools will be the first to think of Yang Hong."
Yue Qian nodded with understanding, and Huang Pu smiled and said: "Commander Yue, don't worry and listen to me. I will not harm the brothers. Let's have a good night's rest and work hard tomorrow morning to arrive there within three days." Assassin's camp. Finish your errands early so we can go home quickly."
…
Just as Huang Pu was angry and walked away from Yang Hong, Zhu Qiyu and five other Zhongshushe people also talked about the most critical point.
I saw Zhu Qiyu asking everyone: "The commander-in-chief positions in the Beijing camp are all occupied. What position should be assigned to the Marquis of Xing'an?"
Even if a few members of the Zhongshushe family had ideas in mind regarding making wishes to important ministers, they did not dare to speak out easily. Finally, He Yi said: "Uncle Jingyuan is now the military governor of the five provinces. Regarding the Marquis of Xing'an, I think it is better to follow the example of Uncle Jingyuan."
Zhu Qiyu nodded and signaled He Yi to continue.
He Yi then made an astonishing statement: "Taizu has the heroes who founded the country, and Emperor Taizong has the heroes who saved the country. Now that the Ming Dynasty is on the verge of subjugation, Wei Chen thinks that if Oara can be defeated this time, it will be a heavy blow, so it is better to enshrine a group of heroes who saved the country. .
The Marquis of Xing'an was loyal and patriotic, and traveled thousands of miles to bring the elite of the border army to Beijing to serve the king. He should be given a world certificate and allowed his title to be hereditary and irreplaceable.
After the defeat of Wala, the Jin Dynasty granted the title of Duke of Anguo to the Marquis of Xing'an, the leader of the nobles who saved the nation. "
Hearing this, the other four members of Zhongshushe all looked at He Yi with astonishment in their eyes: This big brother really dared to say it, and he said it so specifically. He not only suggested that Jin make Xing'an Marquis the Duke of the country, but also They all thought about the title of 'An Guogong' for him.
Zhu Qiyu did not take it seriously. Instead, he paid more attention to the idea of building a group of nobles who saved the country: Taizu had the founding nobles, and Taizong had the Jingnan nobles. They all formed an interest group that firmly supported the emperor. Then I can do the same thing, learn from Taizong, and use the defense of Beijing to create a new group of nobles who are loyal to me.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu nodded repeatedly. Although the word "save the nation" doesn't sound very nice, it can highlight the key point: the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen brought the Ming Dynasty to the point of collapse. It was me, Emperor Jingtai, who saved the country. Isn't this Save the nation and save it.
Yes, we need to publicize it and let everyone remember at all times that it was the Supreme Emperor who brought the Ming Dynasty to the verge of collapse. We, Emperor Jingtai, must have our plan to save the nation deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Thinking of publicity, Zhu Qiyu asked He Yi: "I set up publicity points all over the capital. How is it going now?"
Just as He Yicai was about to reply, the door of the West Flower Hall was pushed open, and Chao Yun and Mu Yu walked in with refreshments.
Everyone was about to stand up and salute, but Zhu Qiyu waved his hand to stop everyone, and then smiled at Ye Sheng and Yao Xian: "I have a total of twelve concubines, and these are two of them, one is called Chaoyun and the other is Mu Yu.
Now I don't have any maids by my side, so I can only let my beloved concubines serve the tea. You will see them often, so you don't have to be too restrained. Our family doesn't have so much red tape. "
After everyone heard this, they no longer insisted on getting up. They just stayed in their original positions, bowed and saluted.
The two stunning beauties glared at Zhu Qiyu fiercely.
Zhu Qiyu deliberately teased the beauty and said their names. The people present were all talented young heroes. What does "Chaoyun Muyu" mean when combined, can you still not understand it.
Chao Yun and Mu Yu blushed, got on the soft couch, sat on the left and right next to Zhu Qiyu, placed the snacks on the coffee table and distributed them to everyone.
Especially Mu Yu, Zhu Qiyu really played with her in the West Flower Hall last time when there was no one around. Then Zhu Qiyu left all the beauty's clothes on the couch, using only a brocade quilt to wrap Mu Yu's shiny jade. body and returned to the backyard.
Mu Yu also knew that he was famous. Every time he came to Xihua Hall, his pretty face seemed to have a fever.
Zhu Qiyu and Mu Yu looked at each other, then glanced sideways into the soft couch. Mu Yu knew that her husband was teasing her about what happened before, and her pretty face immediately turned red with embarrassment all the way to her ears.
Just when Zhu Qiyu felt satisfied, Mu Yu leaned into his ear and whispered softly: "Husband, can you let me sleep with you tonight?"
What Zhu Qiyu likes most about Mu Yu is that this girl can let go. Even when she is embarrassed or blushing, she still doesn't forget to act coquettishly and take the initiative to sacrifice herself.
So Zhu Qiyu smiled and nodded. Unexpectedly, Chao Yun refused. He came over and quietly asked to sleep with him.
Zhu Qiyu was a little hesitant and felt that it was too much. Seeing this, Chaoyun laughed in public and said, "My husband is aware that my family is not only good at massage, but also has some experience in acupuncture."
Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu immediately gave up: "Okay, okay, Xiaoyun should also wait in the princess's room at night."
Chao Yun snorted with an arrogant look on his face and left with Mu Yu.
After the two girls left, several people in Zhongshushe raised their heads and were no longer restrained.
Zhu Qiyu saw that everyone was looking at him with a trace of sympathy, so he had no choice but to spread his hands:
There is nothing I can do if I don't surrender. Mu Yu threatens to feed me medicine every day, and now there is Chao Yun who threatens to give me injections.
All I can say is, if you don’t give up now, wait until later. Don't laugh at me. If it were you, you would be more intimidated than me.
He Yi coughed lightly and continued to talk about the business: "Your Majesty, I took my guards around yesterday, and the preaching points have been set up everywhere."
"Oh, what did you hear?"
He Yi replied: "What we were announcing at that time was the battle report from the Xuan Mansion. The imperial court investigated the crimes of many generals under Yang Hong, the commander-in-chief of the Xuan Mansion, for abandoning the city and escaping, and beheaded them all in public.
At the same time, His Majesty issued an edict that if any guard general abandons the city in the future, not only will he be beheaded, but the whole family, young and old, will be exiled for three thousand miles, and the young women will be sent to the Jiaofangsi. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "How was the response? What did the people say?"
"The effect was very good. The people praised the court's handling; they cursed Yang Hong for his lax military management and his inability to resist the captives."
Speaking of this, He Yi also made a joke: "Many people also said that in the future, the people in the capital will not feel involved in the case of the guards who abandoned the city and put young women from their families into the Jiaofang Division.
It would be better to sell the young women of these criminal generals' families into brothels. This would not only increase the income of the court, but also allow the general public to join in punishing evil and promoting good. "
Zhu Qiyu smiled and waved his hand: "It's too harsh to do this just for abandoning the city. Wait, if someone rebels, then I can satisfy the people's wishes."
After that, Zhu Qiyu asked Ye Sheng again: "Yuzhong, what do you think of Yang Hong, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu?"
