Zhu Qizhen, the supreme emperor, is really a brother-in-law, and his mouth is filled with thousands of taels of gold and thousands of brocades.
However, Zhu Qiyu planned to accept the suggestion that Yu Qian be granted the title of Marquis and be hereditary. After all, Yu Qian has been in charge of Shanxi for nineteen years, and he has indeed made outstanding achievements and achieved great results through hard work. Especially in Shanxi's border defense military, he has made great achievements. He has built the Great Wall defense line in Shanxi so impregnably that it is not too much to grant him a title.
However, the matter of granting a title to a civil servant requires a court discussion. It would be too much for the emperor to make a decisive decision. After all, he has to take into account the feelings of other ministers.
So Zhu Qiyu ordered: "Xianer, sort these things out. I will circulate them to the ministers at the court meeting later." Mu Yu resealed the top-secret military report just now and gave it to the princess, asking her to put the military report in the secret room. , no one can contact.
After you have done this, please help me get up. I have been free for several days and it is almost over. I watched the sky at night last night and predicted that the ministers would cause trouble for me again today. "
Hearing this, Mu Yu sneered.
Zhu Qiyu asked dissatisfiedly: "You girl, how dare you laugh at the master, tell me what's so funny about you."
Mu Yu replied with a smile: "I am laughing at my husband. You are superfluous. There is no need to watch the sky at night. I don't watch anything. Just think about it. I know that the ministers are going to cause trouble for my husband. This is called When you are extremely quiet and think about things, you make trouble out of nothing.”
"Hmph, you dare to make fun of the master. You are really uneducated. Prepare the sheets. I will let you think about it later tonight."
"Okay, thank you master."
After hearing this, the other three women also came together to demand equal treatment.
Zhu Qiyu talked for a long time, and finally reluctantly agreed to let the rain and dew fall on him, and was released.
If there is a tiger behind, there will be a wolf in front.
When Zhu Qiyu finally entered the West Flower Hall, sat down on the soft couch, and announced his summons, a group of ministers filed in and filled the West Flower Hall.
Soon, facts proved that Zhu Qiyu's fear of wolves before and tigers behind was justified. Chen Xun personally handed over a memorial letter.
Zhu Qiyu had never been in the habit of reading memorials, so he just took it and put it on the coffee table, and let Chen Xun explain it himself.
Chen Xun replied: "Your Majesty, this is a memorial from King Xiang. When King Xiang wrote the letter, he had not yet received the news of your majesty's enthronement, so he proposed in the memorial that the crown prince should be promoted to the throne and that your majesty should supervise the country. In charge of politics, he led the ministers to fight against Oala and defend the capital."
Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly in his heart, why did King Xiang not receive the news of my enthronement before writing the letter? How long has it been? I think he did it on purpose.
Seeing that the emperor was silent, Chen Xun asked softly: "Your Majesty, how do you think you should reply to King Xiang?"
In fact, before Chen Xun came, he had already prepared several suggestions in his mind for the emperor's inquiry. After all, one of the main responsibilities of the cabinet is to give advice when the emperor consults on military and political affairs.
But Zhu Qiyu didn't ask anything and issued an edict: "Let the cabinet draft an edict. I have accepted King Xiang's suggestion. However, certain modifications need to be made: after defeating Oala, I will abdicate and the prince will ascend the throne. There is no problem with this." .
But I have neither talent nor virtue, and I really have no ability to supervise the country. The reason why he took up the post of supervising the country before was because there was really no other vassal king in the capital.
King Xiang has supervised the country many times. He is mature and prudent, and his reputation as a virtuous person has spread far and wide. In theory, it should be King Xiang who supervises the country.
Therefore, after receiving the order, King Xiang was ordered to go to Beijing immediately to hand over the supervision of the country. Even the crown prince's enthronement ceremony must be presided over by King Xiang.
At that time, I will also be freed, and I will immediately return to Qi to join the vassal state. You will also be freed, and you no longer have to work with me, the ridiculous prince. Let King Xiang lead you to assist the new king. "
Upon hearing this, all the ministers knelt down to dissuade him. Even if the ministers no longer want Zhu Qiyu to be the emperor, they still have to follow the rules of the scene, and they can't just stand there and listen to the emperor's abdication edict.
Besides, the ministers actually didn't really want the crown prince Zhu Jianshen to take the throne. Zhu Qiyu smiled secretly in his heart and knew it well: the most powerful evidence is that when Jingtai changed the crown prince in history, no minister stood up to oppose it.
Yes, it's so strange, it's so clean, and there's not a single minister who opposes it.
This seems to be the political ecology that has been consistent for decades from the Xuande Dynasty to the Tianshun Dynasty.
Xuanzong deposed Empress Hu, doted on his concubines and destroyed his wives. Not a single minister came out to object.
Jingtai changed the crown prince position and transferred the imperial lineage, but no minister came out to oppose it.
The Yingzong seized the family and imprisoned his younger brother, and the coup was restored, but no minister came out to oppose it.
If Zhengde and Jiajing were replaced as emperors in this era, they would probably laugh out of their dreams.
In March of the 14th year of Zhengde, the ministers prevented Zhu Houzhao from going on a southern tour. As a result, a total of 146 ministers were beaten to death, and 11 of them were killed directly.
Jiajing went even further. During the ceremonial meeting, one hundred and thirty-four officials were beaten with the cane at the same time, and sixteen of them were caned to death on the spot.
Compared with the ministers at that time, today's civil and military officials are simply a bunch of good babies.
As he thought about it, Zhu Qiyu began to thank God. He was so lucky to live in such a prosperous age!
From this perspective, Sanyang's control of the government for so many years still had a positive effect.
So Zhu Qiyu felt better and asked all the ministers who were kneeling on the ground to stand up.
But before the ministers could stand still, Zhu Qiyu ordered: "Senior General Chen Ge has drafted the edict I just issued, and please order a minister to go to Prince Xiang's Mansion to convey the edict.
Let's take Yang Shan, the right deputy censor of the capital. Let him convey the order, which will appear more solemn. At the same time, he can also explain the situation in the capital to King Xiang.
I asked King Xiang to go to Beijing to supervise the country, out of pure sincerity. Please don't worry about King Xiang, and leave immediately when the decree comes. "
Zhu Qiyu didn't feel any distress when using Yang Shan, the Supreme Emperor. Previously, Xiang Wenyao occupied the position of left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Yang Shan was transferred to the position of right deputy censor of the capital. Now that my butt is still hot, I have been sent to Changsha again.
The ministers were not willing to obey the edict, and they all tried to dissuade him. After all, a new emperor has just been established. The new emperor has not even been recognized by the ministers, and he has to change again. The ministers cannot bear the torment.
Besides, although the new king is acting absurdly, he really wants to increase the salaries of the ministers to three times what they are now. Considering that new officials ignore old accounts, and if we change the emperor, who should we look for to increase his salary?
So changing the emperor now is absolutely not possible. Even Hu Hu did not dare to stand up and obey the imperial edict.
Zhu Qiyu still said very firmly: "The edict just now must be issued. You just write the edict. As for how King Xiang understands the edict after receiving it, that is his own business."
Oh I got it. The new king's hint was so obvious that the ministers felt confident.
As for how the new king will fight with the vassal kings, the ministers don't care that much.
The feudal king was generally the opposite of the ministers. Even if a few died, the ministers would not feel bad.
Seeing that the matter with King Xiang was over, Zhu Qiyu took out Yu Qian's work report and the Emperor's comments and circulated them to the ministers present.
