As soon as Ye Xian came out of his Chinese army tent, he saw Boyan Timur walking over with Huang Pu, talking and laughing. He couldn't help but frown at first. After more than four thousand people died in the battle last night, Boyan Timur could still laugh. He was so heartless.
With the great victory of the Ming army yesterday, Huang Pu was more confident. He came in front of Ye Xian and greeted everyone with a smile.
Ye Xian had no choice but to ask patiently: "Mr. Huang, aren't you here to take my sister and niece into the palace? Why did you bring two thousand people here, at least to create such a grand ceremony?"
Huang Pu quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, Grand Master, what happened to these two thousand people was like this. Previously, those Mongolian officials in the capital who had attached themselves to the Ming Dynasty were collecting intelligence everywhere and wanted to act as internal agents for the Grand Master. Your Majesty captured them and imprisoned them." stand up.
Yesterday, the Ming army took advantage of the danger and attacked your army at night. His Majesty felt that the victory was not possible with force, so he ordered his subordinates to bring hundreds of imperial guards and send more than a thousand internal officials to serve under the Grand Master, hoping that this could slightly compensate the Grand Master for his loss last night. "
Hearing the words first, he was choked and couldn't speak for a long time. Before he could digest last night's defeat, Xinjun came to attack him again early in the morning. Who knows who is the internal agent among these more than a thousand people? Maybe there are a lot of high-ranking officials who are close to the Ming Dynasty among them, and they are the internal agents who were sent to Wala camp to become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Not only was he unable to use the more than a thousand people, he even had to allocate three thousand elites to monitor them.
I hate this, I hate it, but I can't say clearly that I don't accept these people yet. After all, in name, they were all people who wanted to conquer Oala and were actively working to capture the old capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty first. At least on the surface, they have to be welcomed, otherwise they will lose their support.
Seeing Huang Pu looking at him expectantly, he had no choice but to reply: "I would like to thank the new king of the Ming Dynasty for his kindness. I will keep these high-ranking officials. Please ask Mr. Huang to thank the new king for me.
My sister and niece are ready. Please ask Mr. Huang to take them into the palace to meet the Queen Mother. "
Huang Pu smiled and said: "You're not busy, your Majesty has one more thing that I want to convey to my subordinates."
"Mr. Huang, please speak."
"Your Majesty said that yesterday you took advantage of your army's exhaustion to attack the camp. It was impossible to win without force, which made you feel uneasy. So you asked Marshal Tie to lead his troops and continue to camp outside Desheng Gate.
Your Majesty promised not to attack Marshal Iron's army at night again, and that in the next three days, your army would be able to set up camp and recharge, and the Ming army would not launch any attacks.
Three days later, we fought openly and openly. "
Ye Xian and the three Polo brothers were all quite surprised when they heard this. The emperor had completely given up on pursuing victory and wanted to play a shrinking tactic instead.
Polo quickly confirmed: "Does the new king of the Ming Dynasty keep his words?"
Huang Pu replied very firmly: "Of course, the emperor follows his words, so there is no reason to entertain everyone. I have a letter of war written by your majesty to the marshal. It states in black and white that he will not attack the marshal within three days. Afterwards, there were no more night attacks on the marshal's army.
However, His Majesty will still send troops to attack the Grand Master's main camp at night. This subordinate should make it clear in advance and ask the Grand Master to prepare a defense in advance. "
Polo accepted the letter of challenge, and with the Emperor of Heaven's promise written in black and white, there was no problem. Polo asked Ye Xian on the spot to continue stationing near Yuantu City so that he could attack Deshengmen at any time.
Seeing that Polo was foolish enough to seek death, he didn't stop him. After some thought, he nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Zhu Qizhen came out, and Huang Pu quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
I only heard Zhu Qizhen's instructions: "Huang Aiqing went back and told the emperor's brother that I will summon the important officials of the court and ask Hu Hui, Wang Zhi, Yu Qian and others to come to see me. I will have something to say then."
Huang Pu didn't ask why, so he said he obeyed the order. Zhu Qizhen nodded and went back to his felt tent.
Seeing that everything had been settled, Huang Pu took Zhencai Ren and Jingcai Ren back to the city under the protection of Jin Yiwei.
Huang Pu brought two talented people to the gate of Dong'an. After handing over to the internal prison, he returned to Qi Mansion to resume his duties.
The inner eunuch brought two talented people to the Cining Palace of the Queen Mother.
There was a big battle array in Cining Palace. In addition to Queen Mother Sun, Queen Qian, Queen Zhou, Concubine Wan Chen and other concubines also gathered together, all waiting to meet these two talented people from Wala.
The palace already knew about last night's victory, and Queen Mother Sun was in a very bad mood at this time. The situation that Empress Dowager Sun most hopes to see is a tie between the two sides, with each side winning or losing. Only in this way will he be willing to make peace first, and then send Zhu Qizhen back happily.
In other situations, whether it is a big victory or a big defeat first, Zhu Qizhen will not let go easily. Empress Dowager Sun, who has decades of experience in palace fighting, knows this very well.
Empress Qian was also very unhappy. Although she did not see the problem as far-sighted as Empress Dowager Sun, she also knew very well that if the Ming army continued to win like this, the new monarch's prestige would skyrocket, and it would be difficult to shake it in the future. If this continues, even if Zhu Qizhen can come back, life will not be easy.
As for Queen Zhou, when she heard that the Ming army had won a great victory, she had similar thoughts to Queen Qian, but she soon felt relieved.
The difference between Queen Zhou and other concubines is that she has a guaranteed promise from the new king, and the promise given by the new king is so generous. The most important are three points:
First, after a hundred years, the Queen of Zhou can be buried with Zhu Qizhen as the royal wife, and can be worshiped in the temple and receive tribute forever.
Second, Queen Zhou's two younger brothers will become a marquis and an earl, and they will be hereditary. Zhu Jianshen can enjoy the top prince treatment, and Chongqing Princess can enjoy the top princess treatment.
Third, once Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qizhen are dead, Empress Zhou will be able to dominate the Forbidden City. Even if Zhu Qiyu is beaten to death, he will not live in the palace. Empress Zhou can take her children to play in the Forbidden City as much as she likes. And Zhu Qiyu's family, from the concubine to the concubine, have completely given up on the Forbidden City.
So with such a good guaranteed treatment, Empress Zhou had already thought about it. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the possibility of Zhu Jianshen becoming emperor was extremely slim, so he could just live as a prince for a few years. When the time comes, I will take the initiative to retire and become a prince comfortably. There is no need to force the emperor to take action.
Empress Zhou originally rose from a low-level concubine to the position of queen with the support of the new monarch in just one month. As long as she thought about it, she would be content and happy.
For Zhu Qiyu, he absolutely could not kill Zhu Qizhen himself, so he had to treat Queen Zhou favorably. After all, it was very dishonorable to kill the donkey and treat the hero harshly.
But it was said that the two talented people had paid a visit to the Queen Mother. After everyone exchanged greetings, the Queen Mother Sun asked the two talented people to live in the palace for a period of time. Moreover, a formal palace has been prepared for the two talented people. When they return to Zhu Qi Town in the future, the two talented people will also live in the palace for a long time.
As for Zhu Qiyu, he did not invite the two talented people into the palace, but it was because he had sufficient reasons for the important ministers to visit the Supreme Emperor.
In the past, important ministers could still refuse to go on the grounds of safety. Now that Ye Xian's sister and Boyan Timur's daughter are hostages, the important ministers can no longer talk about security issues.
Moreover, Zhu Qiyu was so narrow-minded that he issued an edict to Yang Hong and Yang Jun respectively, ordering the father and son to come to Beijing to report their duties to the Supreme Emperor.
