At present, these nobles in Beijing have always been a huge hidden danger in Zhu Qiyu's heart.
Now in the inner city, those who can theoretically rebel against the emperor are the Jin Yiwei, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and the servants gathered together by many nobles.
If only one nobleman rebels, only three to five hundred servants will be able to survive, which is easy to say. If a few nobles get together and gather three to four thousand servants, let alone there is a real possibility of causing trouble.
The most important thing is that the nobles led their servants to rebel, which was actually practiced in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and in the Tianshun Dynasty, the unlucky one was our lovely Emperor Mingmen.
The eunuch Cao Jixiang, who was the only one to rebel in thousands of years, and his nephew Zhaowu Bo Cao Qin, led a large number of dead soldiers into the imperial city. Zhu Qizhen also lost his close confidants Jinyiwei Commander Tongzhi Lugao, Gongshunhou Wu Jin and others.
Two facts can be seen from here: First, the noble servants have very strong fighting power and should not be underestimated. Secondly, the Jin Yiwei are really complete trash. Let alone letting them protect the emperor, they can't even protect their own commander. The tens of thousands of Jinyiwei are just like playing house.
Yesterday afternoon alone, nobles in Beijing responded to the imperial court and gathered more than 5,000 people. Although the nobles were so active, they may have worked together to participate in the rescue of the Supreme Emperor, or they may have wanted to show their goodwill to the emperor, but no matter what, it deeply triggered the emperor's taboo.
Zhu Qiyu issued the edict forcefully without discussing with the ministers: "Xue Huan, the prince-in-law who is in charge of the affairs of the Right Army Governor's Mansion, is appointed as the Left Governor of the Nanjing Right Army Governor's Mansion; The right governor of the government.
Li Xian, Marquis of Fengcheng, was appointed as the Left Governor of Nanjing's Rear Army Governor's Mansion; Zheng Hong, the Marquis of Wu'an, was appointed as the Left Governor of Nanjing's Front Army Governor's Mansion. Chen Jing, Marquis of Taining, served as the right governor of the former military governor's office in Nanjing.
The five men immediately set off to Nanjing to reorganize the army. There is no need for them to attend the Zhengdan court meeting, as state affairs are important.
Yu Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was appointed governor of Southern Zhili, responsible for rectifying the Nanjing army and setting off immediately when the order came. "
The ministers were quite surprised when they heard this, and they didn't know why the emperor was suddenly so excited. Fortunately, civil servants have always been at odds with nobles. The emperor wanted to send a large number of nobles to Nanjing, so the ministers were naturally optimistic about the success.
Among these nobles, Xue Huan, the Prince Consort Commandery, made Zhu Qiyu feel most uncomfortable. He married Princess Changde, the biological daughter of the Queen Mother Sun. Moreover, Xue Huan's nephew was Xue Shen, Marquis of Yangwu.
In other words, the Xue family must be on the side of the Supreme Emperor, and their energy cannot be underestimated.
Zhu Qiyu doesn't care whether he looks good or not. It would be fun if, when his prestige was at its peak and he was about to secure his throne, he let others steal his home.
Anyway, now that they have fallen out with the Sun family, they might as well stop doing anything and completely take back the military power in the inner city.
So Zhu Qiyu continued to issue a second tough edict: "Fu Ying, a descendant of Ying Guogong, bravely killed the enemy in the defense of the capital, served the country loyally, and showed the style of his ancestors. The title of Marquis of Yingchuan will be restored immediately and he will be promoted to Zuojun." The left governor of the Dudu Mansion, acting as the general military officer, led the 8,000 new troops summoned yesterday to support the Xuan Mansion.
Li Yu, the grandson of Princess Yongping, was granted the title of Marquis of Fuyang, and was promoted to the right governor of the Left Army Governor's Mansion. He served as deputy commander-in-chief and jointly commanded the new army with Fu Ying. "
Chen Xun, Wang Wen and others looked at each other and said nothing, directly expressing their compliance with the imperial edict.
All the important ministers present could see that today's emperor's attitude was very tough and resolute, as if he wanted to kill someone, and it was useless to object.
And everyone has already concluded the rules. The emperor will set the tone at the beginning of every court meeting. Once he comes up, he is very tough, and he will remain tough throughout the entire court meeting. If you are easy to talk to from the beginning, you will be very easy to talk to throughout the entire court meeting.
Today just happened to catch up with the emperor's toughness. Sure enough, seeing no one objected, Zhu Qiyu issued the third edict: "Qian Xiong, the current commander of the Dongcheng Military and Horse Division, was changed to the former military governor's office. Zhou Shou, the current commander of the Xicheng Military and Horse Division, was changed to the Nancheng Military and Horse Division. The current commander, Zhou Yu, the deputy commander of the Xicheng Army and Horses Division, was changed to the deputy commander of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division.
Guo Chang, the grandson of the eldest princess of Yongjia, succeeded to the title of Marquis Wuding and was promoted to the left governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion. He was in charge of the Jinyi Guards and concurrently commanded the Dongcheng Military and Horse Division.
Renzong once regarded Guo Ming's daughter as his noble concubine, and granted Guo Xuan, Guo Ming's son, the title of Marquis of Wuding. I also miss our close friendship and cannot bear to deprive Guo Ming of his title.
Moreover, Guo Cong, the son of Guo Xuan, marched forward bravely in the battle to defend the capital and made great achievements in killing the enemy. He was awarded the title of Qi En and military merit, and was awarded the title of Noble Marquis.
Guo Cong, Marquis of Wenxin, was promoted to the Left Governor of the Right Army Governor's Mansion. He also knew the Jinyi Guards and was also in charge of the Xicheng Military and Horse Department.
The Jinyiwei commanded the Qianshi Wu Zhong and concurrently served as the commander of the Zhongcheng Army and Horses Department; the Jinyiwei commanded the Qianshi Wu Cheng and concurrently served as the deputy commander of the Zhongcheng Army and Horses Department. "
The ministers were all a little stunned. Today's personnel transfers are so intensive. It seems that the emperor himself launched a coup.
Especially the important military power in the inner city, most of them have been changed.
However, the ministers were even less willing to speak out against this, because these were all sensitive military powers involving the emperor's safety. If a minister jumped out to make comments, wouldn't he be afraid that he would not arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Wang Wen changed his perspective and asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, although the Guo family is a close relative and has the merits of protecting the capital, is it difficult to convince the public that there are two princes in one family?"
After hearing the words, the ministers also concentrated their attention to listen to the emperor's answer. After all, the Guo family had frequently been in and out of Prince Qi's Mansion a while ago, and today they had received a great grant. Everyone wanted to know what was hidden in this.
Zhu Qiyu didn't give in anymore: "To give the Guo family one family and two marquises, in addition to taking into account the great achievements of Ying Guogong and Renzong Guo Guifei's relationship, for me, the Guo family also has another level of identity.
The Marquis of Wuding, Guo Chang, has already considered my Princess Lin as his daughter. When Marquis Wuding and Marquis Wenxin separate their families, he will entertain all officials at a banquet and formally hold a ceremony to recognize his daughter.
When the time comes, Marquis Wu Ding will be my father-in-law. I feel that with so many factors added together, it is not too much to give the Guo family one family and two marquises.
Moreover, if Guo Deng, the deputy commander-in-chief of Datong, can make another meritorious service, I will also grant him an earl. By then, the Guo family will have three nobles. "
Zhu Qiyu used the word "Guozhang" to initially test the attitude of the ministers.
The ministers present were all the best among men. After thinking about it for a moment, they understood the emperor's intention. The emperor's little calculation was really effective. After doing this, the princess became the daughter of an honorable noble. She was protected by the Wuding Marquis Mansion and the Grand Duke Yongjia. From then on, her status was completely stable.
Chen Xun, Wang Wen, Jiang Yuan, He Wenyuan, Luo Tong and other new emperors were the quickest to accept it. After all, the emperor quickly gave birth to his legitimate son smoothly. For these ministers who clearly stood in support of the new emperor, it was really a big blow. Reassurance.
Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, some nobles will gain power as a result.
Fortunately, these are still within the acceptance range of the New Monarch faction's cronies. After all, the Tumu Fort Incident greatly damaged the honorary group, and then the emperor transferred a large number of honorable men out of Beijing. At least the old nobles were in ruins, and the ministers couldn't kill them all at once.
The sweetness that the emperor has given to you now cannot fundamentally restore your decline, so it is still within the acceptance range of the ministers.
