The ministers had no objections, so Luo Tong asked again: "Your Majesty, after the Xuanfu army is disarmed, which general should lead it?"
Zhu Qiyu replied: "Zhang Min, the right commander of the Chinese Army's Dudu Mansion, is appointed as the commander-in-chief, Sun Jizong, the commander-in-chief of the commander-in-chief, is appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief, and Sun Xianzong, the commander-in-chief of the commander-in-chief, is appointed as the staff general.
Chen Xiang, the eunuch in charge of the Shangshan Supervisor, was promoted to the eunuch Bingbi, the Supervisor of Rites, and served as the supervisor of the army; Xiang Wenyao, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, was the counselor of military affairs. "
When the ministers present heard this, they all secretly communicated with their eyes.
Zhu Qiyu had a panoramic view of everyone's movements and knew what people were thinking. However, in addition to the meaning that everyone knows, Zhu Qiyu also has two other purposes:
One is to emphasize that the current Shangshan Supervisor is in charge of the senior eunuch Chen Xiang, who belongs to the Empress Dowager Sun and the Supreme Emperor. If one day, the Queen Mother, the Emperor, or the Queen, concubines, or princes are poisoned, don't blame me, the Emperor.
Secondly, Yu Qian's cronies Xiang Wenyao were sent out, and Wang Wei, who was sent to Xuan Mansion to investigate the case, was also Yu Qian's cronies. I've given you the opportunity anyway. It's up to you to choose whether you will merit meritorious service or be punished.
Anyway, no matter what Zhu Qiyu said, the ministers did not object. No one wanted to have nothing to do and contradict the emperor.
Zhu Qiyu asked Wang Wen with a relaxed look: "Who was there before? He wrote a long memorial with thousands of words, showing off his writing style from beginning to end. It was empty, full of nonsense, and a waste of pen and ink.
I was so angry that I asked him to go home and hold the baby. Now has he reflected on his situation? "
Wang Wen smiled and said: "It's Liu Dingzhi, the imperial minister, who has already reflected on his behavior. But we were afraid that His Majesty's anger would not subside, so we left him alone for a while."
Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction: "These people, forget it if they don't work, they waste the energy of the emperor and ministers all day long.
We are tired enough of dealing with military affairs, and we have to listen to their nagging all day long. If they don't take a penalty hard, they won't be able to remember it.
Next, the Ministry of Works was responsible for building a Jingguan on one side of the open space outside Xizhimen and on both sides of the avenue, and a forest of monuments to the martyrs of the Civil Engineering Revolution on the other side.
First build a temporary Beijing temple, and quickly put more than 40,000 chopped Tartar heads on it. When the princes, princes, and local ministers come to Beijing one after another next month to attend the congratulations, they must be seen by everyone.
Then, first commemorate the nobles and civil and military ministers who were martyred in Tumu Fort and engrave monuments on them respectively. They should be erected by the roadside so that everyone who comes to Beijing can see them. The complete inscriptions of other martyred soldiers will be sorted out later.
Official Liu Dingzhi was reinstated and ordered him, together with Chen Yi, Li Xian and Li Shi, to be responsible for setting up biographies and engraving steles for the deceased honorable ministers and ministers. "
Good guy, it turns out that the emperor is waiting here. Only now did the ministers understand why the emperor suddenly asked about Liu Dingzhi. It turned out that he wanted to hand over such a big chore to him.
When writing a biography for the minister who died, he would definitely have to mention the fault of the Supreme Emperor. Liu Dingzhi, Chen Yi, Li Xian, and Li Shi would be waiting to severely offend the Emperor's faction.
In fact, Zhu Qiyu's main targets are Li Xian and Li Shi, two swaying wallflowers.
…
After finally dismissing the ministers, Zhu Qiyu strolled back to the backyard and continued working.
This work was real work. As soon as Zhu Qiyu lay down on the rocking chair in the room, Lin Xiangyu, Mu Yu, and Ningxiang knelt at his feet, left and right sides respectively, and began to serve him gently.
After finishing speaking, Zhu Qiyu summarized it himself: "I sent out the three brothers of Empress Dowager Sun. The Jinyiwei commanded by Sun Jizong, the Zhongcheng Bingma Division commanded by Sun Xianzong, and the Nancheng Bingma Division commanded by Sun Shaozong were all vacant.
I need to replace these important positions with our own people, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep peacefully.
There are also 20,000 state guards who have just arrived, and in the blink of an eye, another 15,000 people have to be sent out. I want to place the 50,000 people who remain in the capital in the city.
In this way, in the inner city, there are four guards, Yingzhou Guards and Yumajian Guards, for a total of 15,000 people. Then send the three brothers of the Sun family to the capital, and send some of the noble servants out, and it will be relatively stable.
Next, we can just wait in peace and contentment for the army to return. "
Lin Xiangyu didn't say anything, just choked and used her eyes to indicate that she understood.
It wasn't until ninety-nine times that Lin Xiangyu stopped and let Ningxiang take over.
When Zhu Qiyu saw that his little princess was finally free, he asked: "How is the division of the Wuding Hou Mansion going? When they finish dividing the house, I will give them an order to restore their titles."
Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "It's almost done. The property has been divided and we are waiting to move. In order to try to make up for the rift caused by the fierce disputes between the two parties over the years, the eldest princess gave more than 60% of the property of the Hou Mansion to the second bedroom. Now The Wuding Hou Mansion was also left to the second bedroom."
"Ah? The eldest princess has such a grand structure. So where is the new Marquis Wu Ding? Should he build a new house or buy a ready-made house?"
Lin Xiangyu shook her head: "Neither build nor buy. When Wang Zhen was in power, he built several large houses. Among them, there is a large house in the easternmost part of the inner city, near Chaoyang Gate. Regardless of the size of the area, the scale of the building, and the level of luxury, it is Not inferior to the British government at all.
The Nu family vacated the house and gave it to the Wuding Hou Mansion as a recognition gift to honor their parents. "
"Yeah, the princess is really generous. But this is really good. Let Wu Dinghou's family move to Dongcheng, which is close to our palace. It just happens that everyone can take care of us."
Lin Xiangyu continued: "To the east of that house, next to it is the Zhihua Temple. Strictly speaking, that is Wang Zhen's family temple, which was also confiscated by us.
The Nu family also vacated Zhihua Temple, which can be used as the new Yamen of Daning Dusi. There is an open space to the north of Zhihua Temple and several small houses. The slave family has bought them.
That area was demolished and barracks were built to accommodate thousands of soldiers. And you can continue to buy land and expand later.
There are also several families in the west of our Beifu. Our mother and concubine also came forward to persuade them to agree to move. We bought their houses at a high price and converted them into barracks for the Yingzhou Zhongwei to live.
Part of the front yard of our Qi Mansion was transformed into the command center of the Yingzhou Guard. I wonder what your husband thinks? "
Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I can rest assured that you will do the work. Daning Dusi has moved to the vicinity of Chaoyang Gate. It can be used as a center to centrally manage and command Yingzhou Guard, Tiance Guard, and Duoyan Guard; it can also guard the city gate nearby. , ensuring the safety of the inner city, and also facilitating the transfer of guards inside and outside the city. It really serves multiple purposes.
The command center of the Yingzhou Guard is located in Prince Qi's Mansion, which not only facilitates unified management and deployment of the nine guards, but is also not far from Dong'an Gate, allowing them to intimidate the imperial city nearby. This arrangement is also very appropriate.
If by any chance I have a headache and am unable to take charge of the affairs, you and my concubine can also command the Yingzhou Guards nearby to suppress the rebellion. "
Lin Xiangyu nodded, and then motioned to Mu Yu to get out of the way, wanting to continue the relay.
Zhu Qiyu smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I'm already feeling it. You three can lie down side by side on the bed."
…
There was nothing to say for a day and a night. On the second day, when Zhu Qiyu came to the West Flower Hall and listened to the reports of the ministers, he was a little dumbfounded.
As soon as the emperor's edict was issued yesterday, the whole capital responded enthusiastically, and eight thousand people gathered in just one afternoon.
More than 2,000 of them are loyal and brave men in Beijing, and the remaining 5,000 or so are all servants of nobles.
Zhu Qiyu felt cold in his heart: No wonder Cao Jixiang, a eunuch, dared to rebel in the capital. No wonder his nephew Cao Qin led the rebels to fight so fiercely. These noble servants are really not a small number.
As for the reason why the nobles are so enthusiastic at the moment, do they want to actively serve the country, or are they eager to rescue the Supreme Emperor? Well, it’s hard to tell.
