Liu Chang expected to finish counting the number of beheadings in the afternoon. Zhu Qiyu nodded, indicating that he understood, and then went back to his room to sleep.
Anyway, the head counting is under the control of the pro-army commanders; the distribution of rewards is under the control of the princess.
Emperor, you should think more about strategic issues. If you worry too much about trivial matters, it will easily affect your judgment.
Moreover, Zhu Qiyu learned from historical lessons and deliberately gave the right to mobilize personal guards to the concubines and princesses.
The change in history of seizing the door was because Zhu Qiyu was seriously ill and couldn't get up from bed. Then within a few days, he completely lost control.
When Zhu Qiyu couldn't show up, it didn't matter that the court couldn't control it. Even the palace couldn't control it.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu now actively pushed the princess to contact the personal guards from the beginning, and handed over the logistics and military pay of the personal guards to the princess.
This was done so that when one day she suddenly couldn't get up, or fainted and couldn't wake up, the princess could mobilize her personal guards to suppress the rebellion.
In this way, there is an extra layer of insurance, preventing one person from lying down and the whole family having fun.
With nothing to worry about anymore, Zhu Qiyu finished his meal and slept until the afternoon. Wang Zhi and Yu Qian were not in such a good mood. Originally, the ministers were very afraid of the orthodox emperor. Although the orthodox emperor had become the Supreme Emperor, the ministers were still afraid.
Especially when the new emperor is obviously being unreasonable and forced to report his duties to the Supreme Emperor, this experience is not pleasant at all. Only Hu Xi was slightly better. After all, he was forced by Zhu Qiyu to report his duties to the Supreme Emperor last time, and received Zhu Qizhen's forgiveness.
After handing over official business in the afternoon, Hu Xi, Wang Zhi and Yu Qian, accompanied by Huang Pu, came to the Wala camp and entered the Shanghuang felt tent to meet Zhu Qizhen.
The reactions of the three important ministers were also different. Wang Zhi knelt on the ground first, hugged Zhu Qizhen's thigh, and cried bitterly. Although Hu Hu had cried last time, the more she thought about it, the more regretful, sadder, and regretful she became, and she started to shed tears.
Yu Qian knelt quietly aside, wanting to cry but without tears.
Yu Qian had nothing to cry about: the emperor who valued Yu Qian most, Xuanzong, was dead. San Yang, the prime minister whom Yu Qian valued most, was also dead.
No matter whether it is the orthodox emperor who has become a thing of the past or the emperor Jingtai who has just come to power, he and Yu Qian have no feelings for each other. There is neither support nor adversity. Between the monarch and his ministers, everything is just a matter of make do.
The Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen did not think highly of Yu Qian. Yu Qian had been the governor of Shanxi for six years in the Xuande Dynasty. In the Zhengtong Dynasty of Zhu Qizhen, he continued to serve as governor of Shanxi for another thirteen years.
It seems that the same situation is extremely rare when he has been the governor of a place for nineteen consecutive years. Zhu Qizhen just left Yu Qian there to hang out, refusing to be promoted or demoted, and he didn't care.
In the thirteenth year of Zhengtong, Yu Qian left Shanxi; in the fourteenth year of Zhengtong, Zhu Qizhen entered Shanxi.
Then things became what they are now.
Sure enough, after Zhu Qizhen comforted Wang Zhi, he asked everyone: "My brother actually sent you three important ministers here. What does he have to say?"
Hu Xi replied: "The new emperor sent us three to report our work to His Majesty. The focus is to explain to you what the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, and the governor of Shanxi have done to Shanxi in these years."
Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen nodded in approval: "I didn't expect that my brother is not confused at all, and is actually much wiser than me, my brother.
I have been deceived by these rebellious officials in Shanxi for more than ten years. I also mistakenly thought that the border troops were really strong and well-defended, so I dared to attack rashly.
However, I did not expect that Shanxi was managed by treacherous ministers and leaked everywhere. The Great Wall defense line was ineffective. The Wala army was in Shanxi just like visiting their own home. Tens of thousands of people set up ambushes repeatedly, but the Ming army had no idea.
I cannot accept the defeat of this battle. The Ming army was not defeated by Wala, but perished in the hands of our own people. "
Zhu Qizhen stopped sarcastically, and when no one dared to reply, he continued: "Yu Aiqing, you have been the governor of Shanxi for so many years, tell me, who made Shanxi become like this?
And why were you deceived by Yang Hong and other Shanxi generals for nineteen years? Besides, even if a living person like Yang Hong can deceive you, can a dead thing like the Great Wall of Defense also deceive you?
The defense line of the Great Wall is so fragile that it can be broken with a single poke. You have been the governor of Shanxi for 19 years and you have never discovered it? "
When Yu Qian heard this, he knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said nothing.
Yu Qian has already seen that the two brothers Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu have surprisingly consistent attitudes on this matter. They both want to place the main responsibility on Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu, Yang Hong, and Yang Jun. On the body of the Yang family general.
The biggest passive thing about Yu Qian is that what these five people did is really impossible to clean up.
The biggest culprit for Shanxi becoming like this is Emperor Xuanzong, but this is not something that ministers can say. So Yu Qian made up his mind. Anyway, he was Xu Shu and entered Cao's camp without saying a word. It's love or something, anyway, the emperor doesn't dare to kill anyone.
Fortunately, Zhu Qizhen did not intend to kill anyone. He just planned to trick the important officials into the Wala camp and detain them. In this way, the imperial court will lose a few backbones, which can greatly increase the chances of winning for Ye Xian.
Now the person who hopes Wala will win the most is Zhu Qizhen. Because if Wala was defeated miserably, it would be obvious that he would not let him go back.
The best outcome for Zhu Qizhen is to be invincible and undefeated. The two sides are in a stalemate and no one can do anything to the other. Only in this way can the two sides sit down and negotiate.
So Zhu Qizhen told the three of them: "My dear friends, since the new king asked you to come over and report your duties to me, I won't be polite.
I will also prepare pen and paper for you first. Please write down carefully what you have done over the years. Who appointed these officials in Shanxi? What did Yu Aiqing do when he visited Shanxi? Who was promoted, who was dismissed, who was deceived by whom, and what talents were discovered.
Write them all in detail, and then write down what you think of Shanxi and who is responsible for what happened in Shanxi.
After you finish writing, show it to me first. After I finish it, you can show it to the new king. Okay, you go down. "
The three of them had no choice but to follow Yuan Bin to other camps to write a review.
Only Zhu Qizhen and Huang Pu were left in the felt tent. Zhu Qizhen asked: "Huang Aiqing, what is my good brother's attitude towards Shanxi?"
Huang Pu replied: "The new emperor believes that the fault of the Ming Dynasty today is the fault of the late emperor. As for the civil and military officials in Shanxi, after the war, the new emperor will send Wang Shangshu as governor to completely overhaul Shanxi's officialdom from top to bottom. Cleanse.”
Zhu Qizhen frowned. Everyone in Shanxi's civil and military officials can be killed, so that's okay. It's just that his brother wants to pursue the late emperor's mistakes, which is really courageous.
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "What will the new emperor do with the minister after the war? How will he deal with Yang Hong and his son?"
