When Ye Sheng saw the emperor asking about Yang Hong, he couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart, accused Yang Hong of his words, and blurted out:
"If you don't abandon Dushi Pass and Maying Pass, how can you get stuck in the earth?"
Ye Sheng looked angry and wanted to rush to Xuan Mansion immediately and give Yang Hong a golden melon on the top.
Even if Ye Sheng was beaten to death, he couldn't figure out what Yang Hong, the always famous Xuanfu commander-in-chief, was doing this time. His subordinates would abandon Dushi Pass, abandon Maying Pass, abandon Chi Castle, and abandon Diao Oubao. …
All the forts that could be thrown were thrown away. As soon as he saw the Wala soldiers, he ran away.
There are a lot of forts and passes, so just don’t want them. What siege capabilities do the Wala soldiers have? I don’t know what you are running for.
Zhu Qiyu nodded and turned to Yao Xian: "Yao Aiqing, what do you think?"
Yao Xian was even bolder. He even dared to speak out about the suppression of Buddhism. Naturally, he had no scruples about Shanxi's military. Seeing the emperor asking questions, he replied without thinking:
"The Ministry of War is in Shangshu. He once held the title of Right Minister of the Ministry of War and patrolled Shanxi for nearly nineteen years. If your Majesty has any questions about Shanxi affairs, he should ask Shangshu.
If you think about it, anyone who has been in charge of a province for nearly twenty years should know everything about it. "
"Oh, oh!"
Zhu Qiyu sighed heavily and shook his head vigorously. After a long while, he patted Yao Xian's shoulder affectionately again: "Okay, Aiqing, what you said is very good, very good. From now on, you will stay with me and be responsible for giving me advice. The year after tomorrow, we will go to Jingtai Dynasty In the first imperial examination, if you become a Jinshi, I will arrange for you to enter the Hanlin Academy.
I want to compile a "Unification of the Ming Dynasty" to record in detail the geography, customs, culture and other things of our Ming Dynasty. This also includes all the vassal states, and I want to include all of Kyushu.
Then coupled with "Records of Jingtai", all of you here have a share and all serve as editors.
I also want to learn from Emperor Taizong and write a few masterpieces. When the time comes, our monarch and ministers will be famous in history together and be famous forever. "
Everyone didn't know why the emperor thought of this again, so they had to thank the emperor for his trust.
Zhu Qiyu then said to Bai Gui and Xiang Zhong: "I know that you two are quite good at military affairs. In a few years, I will let you go out to lead troops. If you achieve military merit, I will also knight you."
Bai Gui and Xiang Zhong quickly thanked them.
Although the two of them were not very close to the new king and did not like to express their opinions, Zhu Qiyu did not neglect the two of them too much. He still had to make a wish when he should, and he would not let the two of them work for him in vain.
"Okay, let's stop talking here. Let's break up early today. You all can go home and rest."
After sending everyone away, Zhu Qiyu returned to his room and recounted the political discussions in the West Flower Hall to his little princess.
After Lin Xiangyu listened carefully, she praised him repeatedly: "This Marquis of Xing'an is really interesting and knowledgeable.
But the husband is better than the Marquis of Xing'an: Nowadays, the nobles in the capital, the old, the young, the unimproved, the unpromising, and the unpromising, all cannot hold the top posts.
The military power of the Beijing camp was basically in the hands of Yu Shangshu, and the three major camps were basically in charge of his recommended cronies.
The husband ordered the Marquis of Xing'an to bring 5,000 elite border troops to Beijing. This was truly a stroke of genius. He easily and freely resolved the situation where the Ministry of War was dominated by one family. "
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly and said: "It would be great if the Marquis of Xing'an could appreciate me as much as you do. You said that the Marquis of Xing'an is so accurate in judging people, can he be willing to be loyal to us?"
"I can definitely do it. Husband, please don't belittle yourself. Even the slave family can see your husband's brilliance. I don't believe that Marquis Xing'an can't see it."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, let's rest for a while, then get dressed and wait."
"good."
After a while, the two of them packed up and went out to the main hall in the front yard. The concubine, Qianxue, Su Xi, and the prince and princess were already waiting in the main hall.
The concubine smiled and asked Zhu Qiyu: "Son, do you know what we will talk about with Marquis Xing'an later?"
Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Does the concubine also know the Marquis of Xing'an?"
The concubine smiled and said: "I know. In the first year of Xuande, Xing'anhou was still an earl. He went to Jiaozhi as the right deputy general. He was defeated without success and was deprived of his title."
"Does the mother-in-law even know this?"
"Yes, because something even more extreme happened in Cochin the next year, and the government and the public were shocked at that time, so I remember it very clearly."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he also became interested: "Please tell me, mother and concubine."
The concubine sighed: "In the second year of Xuande, the late emperor sent an army to conquer Jiaozhi. On September 10th, the commander-in-chief of the army, Anyuan Marquis Liu Sheng, died in battle. On the same day, the deputy commander-in-chief, Baoding Boliang Ming, died of illness.
The next day, Prince Shaobao and Minister of War Li Qing, who were participating in military affairs, died of illness. Immediately afterwards, Cui Ju, the right officer general, was captured and died unyielding.
In other words, in less than three days, the number one, number two, number three and number four people who commanded the army were all dead. Then the morale of the army was in chaos and the whole army was destroyed.
Because several important people died at once, including the nobles who were most trusted by the emperor, I remember it very clearly. "
Without waiting for Zhu Qiyu to answer, the concubine continued: "And I think this civil war and the conquest of Jiaozhi have many similarities. The most critical reason for the two total army annihilations was It's all because the intelligence failed and the army was ambushed.
So when you meet the Marquis of Xing'an, you should join him in scolding San Yang, who was in power at that time. Even a woman like me knows that there is definitely something wrong inside.
In one day, Anyuan Hou died in battle. On the same day, Baoding Bo also died of illness. The next day, the Minister of War died of illness. Immediately afterwards, the right officer general was captured.
Is it such a coincidence? You should make it look more like a lie. At any rate, I should put on some pretense to make things more or less reasonable.
This is why I strongly support your change of princess. These civil servants are really good at playing tricks. It is impossible to deal with them without going to some extremes.
If you keep using the original concubines, you may die one day. "
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly and was speechless.
Fortunately, at this time, the personal guards came to report that Xing'an Hou's carriage had arrived at the street corner.
So the main door of the palace opened wide, and Zhu Qiyu led everyone to the door to greet him in person.
When the Xing'an Hou family arrived at the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion, they were shocked when they got off the carriage: What kind of battle is this?
The Marquis of Xing'an had just returned to the capital and did not recognize the people in front of him. Since he had been leading troops abroad for a long time, even if he had met the emperor, it was many years ago. The emperor was still very young at that time, but now he has changed.
Mrs. Xing'anhou didn't know anyone else, but she knew Princess Xuanyi. So he was busy reminding Marquis Xing'an: "Husband, that is Princess Xuanyi."
After receiving the invitation in the afternoon, the family had already briefly introduced the affairs of the palace to Marquis Xing'an.
So after his wife's reminder, Xing'an Hou deduced the identities of all the remaining people: "The adult man in the middle, dressed in blue and plain clothes, was held by Concubine Xuan Yi and a beautiful woman, one on the left and one on the right.
The man that Concubine Xuan Yi can hold in her arms must be the emperor. On formal occasions, the young woman who can hold the emperor in her arms is naturally Princess Qi.
Look at the two girls next to them who look exactly the same, holding two children, one boy and one girl. They are naturally the prince and princess. The ones holding the child were naturally the emperor's two beloved concubines, Jade Concubine and Xiang Concubine.
Marquis Xing'an could still understand the fact that the main entrance of the palace was wide open. After all, he was a marquis, so it was reasonable to say that he was a special favor. But these people standing at the door are really scary. Even if there is a prince, there is no need to mobilize troops like this.
Just when the Marquis of Xing'an was in a daze, Zhu Qiyu had already led everyone in the palace to greet him.
The Marquis of Xing'an and his family hurriedly knelt down to salute, but Zhu Qiyu stopped him firmly: "Marquis Xing'an, there is no need to be more polite. Today is a family banquet, and we won't talk about these red tapes.
You have never met the concubine, the prince, the princess, and me, the princess. Come, let me introduce them to you. "
Marquis Xing'an, along with his wife, his eldest son Xu Xian and his wife, met everyone one by one.
Zhu Qiyu took the concubine and the princess and enthusiastically invited the Xing'an Hou family to Jiangyunxuan in the back garden for a banquet.
