Although Zhu Qiyu has been a bit tough on the nobles recently, he still needs to return to reality after he is done with his anger.
In his spare time, Zhu Qiyu made a detailed classification of the marquis of the Ming Dynasty today.
Marquises from the Shanghuang faction: Anyuan Hou Liu Pu, Ningyang Hou Chen Mao, Gongshun Hou Wu Jin, Fengcheng Hou Li Xian, Cheng'an Hou Guo Sheng, Wu'an Hou Zheng Hong, Taining Hou Chen Jing. As well as Jiang Wan, the Marquis of Dingxi, who was about to seize the title, and Sun Zhong, the Marquis of Huichang, the father of Empress Dowager Sun, who was promoted to a marquis by Zhu Qiyu.
The neutral marquises: Song Jie, the Marquis of Xining, and Gu Xingzu, the Marquis of Zhenyuan.
Finally, there are the poor new monarch marquises: Xu Heng, Marquis of Xing'an, and Wang Tong, Marquis of Chengshan.
Even if we include Wuding Marquis Guo Chang and Wenxin Marquis Guo Cong who will be canonized by the Wuding Marquis family, the new monarch faction's marquises are only half of those of the Shanghuang faction.
Such a sad current situation is not only disgraceful, but most importantly, once the emperor's nobles secretly connect together, the lessons of the incident of seizing the door will always be there.
This was just for the marquis. As for the earls, Zhu Qiyu did not count them because there was no need to count them at all. Among the current earls of the Ming Dynasty, none of them are close to the new monarch.
Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, Guangning Bo Liu An, Xincheng Bo Zhao Rong, Jianping Bo Gaoyuan, Baoding Bo Liangjue, Pingjiang Bo Chen Yu, Xinning Bo Tan Yu, Yingcheng Bo Sunjie, Anxiang Bo Zhang Ning , Pengcheng Bo Zhang Jin, Wujin Bo Zhu Ying, Chongxin Bo Feizhao, Ningyuan Bo Renli, Hui'an Bo Zhang Cong, Pingxiang Bo Chen Fu, Xiangcheng Bo Li Jin, Yongshun Bo Xue Fu, Sui'an Bo Chen Shao , Guangyi Bo Wu Qi, Xiu Wu Bo Shen Yu, Wu Qing Bo Shi Heng.
This large group of earls were all members of the Emperor, and none of them wanted to go with the Emperor.
It's so scary. This long string can't be cleaned even if you want to.
So Zhu Qiyu summoned the heirs of the four families: Duke Ying Guo, Marquis Fuyang, Marquis Anping, and Marquis Guangping to see if he could win over one or two more families.
Each of these distinguished families has had its own unfortunate experiences.
The Duke of Ying, Fu Youde, died in the most radical way. He was forced by Taizu to kill his two sons first and then commit suicide.
Jin Wang Zhu Zhongxuan, who came to Beijing this time, has asked several times to rehabilitate the Fu family. Therefore, Zhu Qiyu gave Prince Jin face this time. As long as Fu Ying, a descendant of the Fu family in front of him, treats him better, there is no problem in regaining his title.
However, Duke Fu Ying must not think about it. Fu Youde's initial title of Marquis of Yingchuan can be negotiated.
Yuan Rong, the Marquis of Guangping, was the consort of Princess Yong'an. The second generation Marquis of Guangping, Yuan Zhen, was the son of Princess Yong'an. Yuan Zhen has no children, so now it is Yuan Rong's concubine Yuan Xuan who is requesting Si Guangpinghou, but the orthodox emperor has never allowed it before.
Li Yuan, the Marquis of Anping, and his son Li An attacked Anping Bo and were defeated in the battle at Luchuan. He was arrested, imprisoned, and banished to Dushi, where he died. Now it is Li An's son Li Qing who is requesting the title.
The most unlucky one is the Fuyang Hou family.
Renzong reigned for a total of nine months, and he created three marquises: Xining Marquis, Wuding Marquis, and Fuyang Marquis.
In the Marquis of Xining's family, the title of the eldest brother was taken away, and Renzong forced the title to the second brother.
In the Wudinghou family, the title of the eldest brother was taken away, and Renzong forced the title to the second brother.
From the Fuyang Hou family, the second generation Fuyang Hou Li Maofang was deposed as a commoner by Renzong.
This is really a spoof. Renzong acted based on his personal likes and dislikes and his distance from relatives, and there is no reason to explain.
Renzong's statement to the Fuyang Hou family was that Li Maofang and his mother, Princess Yongping, had conspired against each other in the Yongle Dynasty.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Yu, Li Maofang's son, and wondered what kind of conspiracy this family could have. It was estimated that they were probably related to the King of Han.
Sure enough, Zhu Qiyu asked the four people in front of him how many Tartar heads they had taken with their servants last night. Li Yu was the most enthusiastic and cooperative. He actually took hundreds of servants to the battlefield to risk their lives, and actually saw more than 600 heads. This number shocked even Zhu Qiyu.
Without three to five hundred of the most elite servants, how could one come back with more than six hundred heads? One look at this family shows that they are not peaceful people.
The remaining three people, Fu Ying, Yuan Xuan, and Li Qing, only beheaded one or two hundred people each, which was quite satisfactory.
That is to say, Zhu Qiyu sent someone to secretly remind them that they could achieve such a gain. Other nobles do not have such opportunities.
After listening to everyone's report on the battle situation, Zhu Qiyu smiled and asked: "The reason why I am willing to restore your titles is because I have high hopes for you.
After Tumu Fortress, the older generation of nobles gradually withered away, and the new generation of young nobles found it difficult to take on big responsibilities.
So you know what you should do after restoring your title, right? "
Li Yu took the lead and knelt down and shouted: "I swear to be loyal to Your Majesty to the death, to defend the Ming Dynasty and to serve the country."
Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction and motioned for everyone to get up. In fact, Zhu Qiyu doesn't care whether these four people are really loyal to him. He can accept it even if they just shout slogans. Anyway, restoring their titles is just a matter of convenience. As long as they don't run to be loyal to the emperor, this is the bottom line.
Then Zhu Qiyu added to Fu Ying: "I can only restore you to the title of Marquis of Yingchuan. If you want to restore the title of Duke of Yingguo, you can go to the battlefield and lead the troops to fight. Now that the imperial army pursues the remnants first, this is an opportunity. You If a few of them want to go, I can make arrangements."
In the end, all four of them expressed their intention to go into battle to kill the enemy. After Zhu Qiyu comforted them, he let the four of them leave.
As for whether they really wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy, or whether they were just showing off, Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to explore. Anyway, I won’t care about the person once he’s sent away. If someone takes the initiative to come to visit you later to show your kindness, then let him use it. If they don't take the initiative, forget it.
The next step is to meet with the generals of Qianhu and above in Yingzhou Zhongwei to comfort them, reward them with silver, and make them official and make wishes. Although they are full-time internal guards and do not go into battle to kill the enemy, they still need to be taken seriously and treated favorably. After all, the loyalty of this personal guard is closely related to the lives of their own family.
Then, they met with generals such as Shi Heng, Sun Boring, and Liu Yongcheng.
Zhu Qiyu concealed the night attack on the Wala camp from several generals, and gave the main credit to the Six Guards of the Second Battalion. Shi Heng, Sun Boring and others felt worried.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu took the initiative and attacked Shi Heng first, as if he did not feel that he was in the wrong at all.
"Uncle Wu Qing, you have all made great contributions to the defense of the capital. I am very relieved. I will give you the title of Marquis on the day of the official meeting.
And that's not all. If Wu Qingbo performs new feats in this pursuit of the defeated generals of the remnants of Wala, when the Supreme Emperor returns to Beijing next fall and resumes his position, the few people will strongly recommend the Supreme Emperor to give Wu Qingbo the title of Duke.
I've already thought of a name, how about just calling him Lord Zhongguo? "
Shi Heng understood immediately upon hearing this that the emperor was talking about the divination given by his colleagues to the Supreme Emperor. I don’t know who was behind it, but my colleagues figured out that the Supreme Emperor first lost his throne and then returned to his throne, which suddenly spread in the capital in recent days.
Tongyin has become a hotly debated figure in the government and the public, and by the way, Shi Heng has also been brought to the forefront.
Shi Heng plucked up the courage and looked up at the emperor. But all he could see was that the emperor's face was calm and calm, but there was a hint of coldness in his clear, watery eyes.
Shi Heng was also very confused. His comrade had nothing to do, so what could he do with this bad hexagram? Now it's okay, let the emperor take advantage of it.
This makes Shi Heng neither advance nor retreat. After all, it is stated clearly that the emperor only takes the throne temporarily. After the Supreme Emperor returns to Beijing, he must still respectfully invite the Emperor to resume his throne.
I don’t know if this will actually happen at that time, but at least that’s what the scene says now. Therefore, Shi Heng did not dare to bring his colleagues' matters to the table, otherwise it would appear that the emperor was petty. When the emperor was angry, his blood would flow like a river.
After the 40,000-strong army was destroyed in the Battle of Yanghekou, and the night attack last night beheaded nearly 20,000 people in one night, Shi Heng has learned a profound lesson:
The importance of intelligence is beyond imagination. In Shanxi, I did not get the information about the ambush of the Wala army, so that more than 40,000 troops were lost. In the capital, I did not get the information about the night attack. As a result, the main credit was shared by others, and I was He took a pitiful sip of the soup.
As for the subsequent pursuit of the remnants of Yesian, if the emperor was offended, the emperor did not have to fight back openly. As long as he deliberately concealed some information, it would be enough to bleed his own army into a river.
