Of course, Zhu Qiyu knew from the beginning that Yang Hong and Yang Jun would not obey the imperial edict.
Zhu Qiyu could guess what excuse they would use. It was simply that the Xuanfu was being suppressed by the soldiers of Alazhiyuan, and Yang Hong, as the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, could not be separated.
It doesn't matter, I didn't expect them to really dare to come to see the Supreme Emperor. However, after the war, Zhu Qiyu could use this to question Yang Hong: Since you said that as the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, you cannot be separated, then may I ask how many Tatar heads you have chopped off in total for such a conscientious person? Please send the severed Tatar heads to the capital so that the emperor can see them.
Yang Hong and Yang Jun could resist coming to see the Emperor, but the important officials in the court had to report their work to Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qiyu was leaning on the soft couch, closing his eyes to rest while waiting for the arrival of important ministers.
When Zhu Qiyu finished his two sweet dreams and was in a daze, the ministers also arrived, and the personal guards put him directly into the West Flower Hall.
The ministers once again stepped into the familiar West Flower Hall, but their mentality was very different from before. Cutting off three to four thousand Tatar heads in one night was an incredible achievement. This victory alone is enough for the new king to establish his prestige. If there are more victories in the future, the new king's position will become even more unshakable.
So as soon as the ministers came in, they all knelt down to congratulate him. Even Hu Hu and Wang Zhi had to bow down.
Zhu Qiyu rubbed his eyes and smiled at the crowd: "I love you so much, so there is no need to be polite. It's just a victory in the first battle. I need at least 40,000 heads to build the Jingguan. Now I have only completed 10%." "
Hu Hui, Wang Zhi and others looked at each other after hearing this. In the past, everyone regarded Xinjun's idea of building a Jingguan as a ridiculous statement, but now it seems that it is not completely a random boast.
Hu Xi and Wang Zhi were thinking the same thing, they had to find a way to stop Xinjun.
However, Zhu Qiyu would not give Hu Xi and Wang Zhi the opportunity to learn from Yang Shiqi. Without waiting for anyone to speak, he smiled at everyone and said: "Hu Aiqing, Wang Aiqing, Yu Aiqing, the Supreme Emperor misses you three, and has sent you to the Wala Camp for an audience.
The Supreme Emperor has something to tell you. It just so happens that you should also report your duties to the Supreme Emperor. Tomorrow morning, I will send my guards to escort you there. "
Wang Zhi heard this and asked curiously: "Debriefing? May I ask Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has abdicated, what duties do you want us to report to the Supreme Emperor?"
Zhu Qiyu asked with the same curiosity: "Wang Aiqing has been the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs since the eighth year of Zhengtong, so it has been six or seven years now. Don't you look at the state of Shanxi, from the military generals to the civil servants, how bad everything is.
Those things, corruption, smuggling of arms, plundering military camps, and destroying guard posts, forget about it.
The most important thing is that Yang Hongdu has been changed from the commander-in-chief to the military commander. The soldiers of the Xuanfu did not listen to the instructions or the propaganda, and abandoned more than a dozen castles without authorization. As a result, the Oara army seemed to be in an uninhabited country and successfully attacked and killed them. My Ming Dynasty has 500,000 elites.
Wang Aiqing, as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Shanxi civil and military officials have fallen like this. What have you done over the years? Shouldn't you give the Supreme Emperor an explanation? "
Wang Zhi was speechless. There are so many bad people in Shanxi's officialdom. I don't blame you, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Seeing that Wang Zhi no longer refuted, Zhu Qiyu smiled at Qian and said: "Yu Aiqing, you have been in Xuanfu for five years, and as the right minister of the Ministry of War, you have patrolled Shanxi and Henan. You just returned to Beijing last year, and you have visited Shanxi for nineteen times. Year.
In the past nineteen years, you have been the governor of Shanxi and the right minister of the Ministry of War. The emperor asked you to come and report on your duties. This is not too much a request.
I firmly believe that Yu Aiqing is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. However, in the past nineteen years, you have to be deceived by Yang Hong and other traitors in Shanxi. You must give the Supreme Emperor an explanation. Also, during the Sanyang chaos, what chaos orders were given to you that brought disaster to the country and the people? These must also be explained to the Supreme Emperor.
The responsibility for the Tumu Fort Incident cannot be placed entirely on Wang Zhen. Not to mention that the Supreme Emperor would not agree with that, even I really cannot agree with it. "
Yu Qian had nothing to say. After all, he had been the governor of Shanxi for nineteen years as the right minister of the Ministry of War. And I only returned to Beijing last year, and this year such a tragedy happened in Shanxi. If I spread my hands now and say directly that Shanxi has nothing to do with me, that would be a bit too simple and crude.
Now there are two paths: the ministers hope that Wang Zhen will take all the blame; while the emperor hopes to put the blame on the heads of the five Yangs named Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu, Yang Hong, and Yang Jun.
When Hu Hui, Wang Zhi and Yu Qian meet with the Supreme Emperor, maybe the Supreme Emperor will come up with a third way.
Anyway, now the ministers have differences with both the new emperor and the old emperor.
When the monarch and his ministers were relatively silent, Hu Hui stood up and asked: "Your Majesty, what if the three of us go together and we are detained first?"
Zhu Qiyu replied: "Don't worry, your safety is guaranteed. One is Ye Xian's sister and Boyan Timur's daughter. They are both in the palace now, so Ye Xian has to be cautious about his actions.
Furthermore, I have always been very disciplined. Both the Ming Dynasty and Oara have always abided by the principles and bottom line of diplomatic relations. When the two countries are at war, if they don't kill the envoys, they will not violate taboos.
Originally, the first thing to do was to send the Supreme Emperor back to the capital for restoration. This was morally justified and could be considered a good example.
If he dares to hurt the envoy first, then he will completely lose his morality, and we will completely become the right to fight against the unjust. When the time comes, when everyone is united and shares the same hatred, won't we be sure to win?
So go ahead with peace of mind, you won’t be stupid first. "
When Hu Hu heard this, he had no choice but to retreat and not refute again.
But after all, Zhu Qiyu never mentioned letting Chen Xun and Wang Wen go to Wala Camp. Firstly, according to the resumes of Chen Xun and Wang Wen, there is nothing they can do to the emperor. Secondly, these are one of the few ministers who are close to the new emperor. Zhu Qiyu will not let Chen Xun and Wang Wen put themselves in danger.
From the beginning, Zhu Qiyu had planned to show preference to the ministers. If we treat ministers equally, not only will we not be able to have both sides, but everyone will get the same thing. In the end, no one will be grateful, and no one will want to die for a confidant.
This is also Zhu Qizhen's problem. Until now, no minister has stood up and truly stood up for the Supreme Emperor.
But Zhu Qiyu was completely different. He only had a bucket of rice in his hand, so instead of scattering it all over the sky, no chicken could be coaxed. It would be better to feed them out selectively, at least coaxing three or four of the big chickens and little ones first.
At least now, Chen Xun and Wang Wen are very grateful to the new king. Chen Xun is in charge of military affairs counselor in Xicheng, and Wang Wen is in charge of military affairs counselor in Beicheng. Although he did not personally go into battle to kill the enemy, his duties are still there, so the victory last night must be shared between Chen Xun and Wang Wen.
Chen Xun and Wang Wen knew very well that this was all the result of Xinjun's efforts to open a small stove. They were not Xinjun's key cultivation targets and would not get such an opportunity.
Just when everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, Zhu Qiyu issued another edict: "Chen Shoufu, please draft an edict to order He Yi to be the counselor for the military affairs of Yingzhou Guard and Huang Pu to be the counselor for the military affairs of Tiance Guard; they were previously in charge of Zhengyang Gate in Nancheng. Ruan Xi of the army was appointed as the Yingzhou Guard and Supervisor Army."
Chen Xun knew that the new emperor wanted to use the power of victory to speed up the promotion of close associates, so he quickly agreed without leaving any chance for other ministers to refute.
At this point, Zhu Qiyu was satisfied and ordered the ministers to disperse.
After everyone left, Zhu Qiyu called Liu Chang and asked: "Anguo, have all the heads been counted? If the count is done, he will gather all the heads together, order his guards to line up neatly, and circle around the city holding the heads. , so that people all over the city can witness with their own eyes the grand spectacle of thousands of Tatar heads paraded through the streets."
