Huang Pu and He Yi moved two stools and bravely sat in front of the soft couch. They were so informed that they hid in the blind spot separated by the glazed screen.
So-and-so, after sleeping for an afternoon, His Majesty the Emperor, who had already regained his energy, could not help but be greatly moved and went crazy with his beloved concubine.
Although the glazed screen was opaque, the two ministers behind the screen could still feel the shadowy flow of brilliance.
Zhu Qiyu moved and asked Huang Pu: "Chengji, what did our Grand Master say?"
Huang Pu replied: "The Grand Master said that only one million taels of silver was not enough sincerity, and he also wanted sixteen stunning beauties to be his concubines before he would release the Grand Emperor.
If your Majesty does not agree, it means you are looking down on the Grand Master, and the Wala army will have no choice but to fight to the death with the Ming army. "
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Very good. You can talk to the ministers about it at the court meeting tomorrow morning. As for whether to agree or not, let the ministers discuss it."
If the ministers agree, we will give the daughter away; if the ministers do not agree, we will start a war again on the grounds that Wala destroyed 10,000 elite Ming troops at Juyongguan during the peace talks. "
Huang Pu quickly agreed, and Zhu Qiyu asked again: "How are our 10,000 Ming elites doing? Has Prince Yang sent someone to find ways to clear the way for Alazhiyuan?"
"Ala has notified the Datong army to receive the 10,000 fugitive troops from Xuanfu. King Yang offered one hundred thousand taels of silver to redeem Yang Jun, but Ala sternly refused."
"Prince Yang still refuses to fight? Has Yu Shangshu taken any action?"
Huang Pu shook his head: "Yu Shangshu didn't do anything, and he couldn't command the Xuanfu army. Alazhiyuan had stopped attacking Juyongguan and returned to Xuanfu with the main force of 20,000 people.
Now Ala's 30,000 troops are all surrounded by Xuanfu City. Even if King Yang wants to fight, his soldiers cannot agree. "
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "The Ming Dynasty's army has always fought bravely, so how come a waste like Yang Hong suddenly appeared? It really embarrasses the Ming army.
Later, you ask the emissary to inform Ala that after the war in Beijing is over, ask him not to leave, and he will continue to besiege the city in Xuanfu and trap Yang Hong inside.
I will send Shi Heng, Fan Guang and Sun Bor to lead an army of 150,000 to pursue Ye Xian and enter Shanxi from Zijingguan. Afterwards, Shi Heng led an army of 50,000 to take over Datong; Sun Borang led an army of 50,000 to Huailai. While monitoring the movements of the Xuanfu, he went to the Tumubao battlefield to collect the remains of the soldiers.
Fan Guangze led an army of 50,000 to encircle Xuanfu, completely relieved Yang Hong of his military power, and carried out a general purge of Xuanfu inside and outside.
I want to give the people of the country tax-free corvées and raise salaries for all of you, but it’s all about the property of these rubbish people in Shanxi. "
After finishing speaking, Zhu Qiyu immediately added: "Xingyi, in my name, you draft a semi-private and semi-official pardon document, which is to prepare a document similar to the edict and give it to Yu Shangshu.
You can polish it yourself as to how you write it specifically. The general meaning is: Yu Shangshu served as governor of Shanxi for nineteen years. He made outstanding contributions and outstanding political achievements, and made the officialdom of Shanxi governance clear and orderly. Especially in terms of military affairs, the Shanxi border was peaceful and impregnable by rectifying armaments and strengthening defense lines.
I am very pleased that Yu Shangshu has worked so hard and accomplished so much, and I plan to grant Yu Shangshu the title of Marquis of Xuanfu in the Jin Dynasty.
This matter has been submitted to the officials for review. I will inform the minister and the generals of the Xuanfu about this matter in advance, and also let everyone in the Xuanfu know their respect. It is best to obey the orders honestly, otherwise the power of God will come, and there will be no words. It was unexpected. "
He Yi quickly replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Wei Chen knows how to write."
Zhu Qiyu nodded, feeling very satisfied. After all, it is easy to use people who have been promoted by themselves. You can understand what you mean without having to speak too directly. Thinking about ministers like those promoted by the late emperor and the Supreme Emperor is tiring.
…
Huang Pu and He Yi looked at each other outside the screen, a little surprised at first, then happy at the same time. Both of them are very young and have not yet become old antiques like Hu Hu and others.
The most important thing is that the better the relationship between the emperor and his beloved concubines, the sooner they can give birth to more princes, and the more secure their future will be in the future.
As for the emperor's ridiculous behavior, it doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't make principled mistakes.
If Zhu Qiyu knew what Huang Pu and He Yi were thinking, he would definitely be very pleased. After all, he is a close confidant, and he is tolerant and patient enough towards his master.
Huang Pu and He Yi just sat there, making no sound or urging. They didn't even have a cup of tea in hand, but they didn't complain.
After another long while, Ningxiang gave up her position and signaled Linglong to continue. He got dressed, got up and went to bed, took the kettle from the stove, and made tea for everyone himself.
When Huang Pu and He Yi saw the stunning beauty with a rosy face approaching, carrying tea, they quickly stood up and were about to kneel down.
Ningxiang stopped the two of them with a smile: "Two gentlemen, please don't go out to the public. You will get angry if you give such a big gift. I am different from our princess. I neither show my face, entertain people, nor take care of internal affairs." Run a family business.
I have made an agreement with my husband a long time ago that I will only stay in bed and be a little toy dedicated to making him happy, so you don’t have to treat me like a noble concubine.
My husband faces countless military and political affairs all day long and is under endless pressure, so sometimes we try different ways to please your husband. Don’t think it’s strange. Please understand His Majesty, and don’t say that we are charming and charming. "
After saying that, Ningxiang handed the tea to the two of them.
The two of them even said they didn't dare, but said that they could definitely understand the emperor and all the empresses, and then they respectfully took the tea and drank it.
Now that he has drank tea, it shows that he understands and accepts the absurd behavior of the emperor and his beloved concubine. Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction and began to draw the pie again: "Chengji, Xingyi, you two, do your best, I have high hopes for you. .
Especially now that both of you are serving as military counselors, the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds is rare. I don’t know how many years it will take until there is such a big war next time.
When our army is victorious, we will rush back to Shanxi. I will promote Xingyi to Zuo Chunfang University and Chengji to You Chunfang University. "
This time no one could persuade them, Huang Pu and He Yi resolutely knelt down and kowtowed. The emperor really had nothing to say about his direct relatives. In fact, the bachelors who controlled Chunfang could theoretically join the cabinet and participate in politics.
From now on, even if the two of them just lie down and endure the qualifications, they will be able to join the cabinet sooner or later.
Zhu Qiyu did not say anything about the final arrangements for the two of them because he was afraid that their career would be too smooth and they would become impetuous and complacent.
In fact, Zhu Qiyu had already decided on the several chief ministers of the Jingtai Dynasty: the first generation chief minister, Chen Xun, a great talent who won three yuan in succession; the second generation chief minister, Wang Wen, the emperor's loyal minister; the fourth and fifth generation chief ministers. The first assistants are Huang Pu and He Yi.
