After being an emperor for a long time, his mentality will change.
For example, the current Zhu Qiyu, as he learns more and more about the methods of political struggle, his desire to kill the old people of Prince Xin's palace becomes more and more intense.
Especially for Princess Wang, the Queen Mother Sun's confidant, Zhu Qiyu became more and more suspicious.
Marriage is a common method used by the royal family to win over their confidants. Zhu Qiyu has just learned this method.
The Empress Dowager Sun's family has already mastered the art of marriage.
The strange thing is that during the Chenghua period, Sun Ming, the Marquis of Huichang, married the sister of Princess Wang as his official wife.
Sun Ming is Sun Jizong's grandson and Empress Dowager Sun's nephew. A noble marquis marrying the sister of a fallen princess? What is the mystery behind this?
Zhu Qiyu became more and more suspicious of Zhu Jianji's death in history. The problem lay with the old man of Prince Tan's palace.
And Jingtai's inability to give birth to a child after entering the palace may have something to do with the old people of the Yin Mansion.
I don’t know if this Wang Ao is really old and confused, or if he just cares about the Emperor. He actually had the nerve to suggest that the Emperor live in the Forbidden City. Does this mean I don’t want to die quickly enough?
Walking outside the door, Zhu Qiyu adjusted his mood and did not intend to vent the anger he suffered in the front hall on his beloved concubine.
However, when they walked into the room, several young women were keenly aware that Zhu Qiyu was not in a good mood, so they came together to serve him more diligently.
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly and ordered: "Princess, go and take back the bet you made before. You don't have to save face for the Sun family. You can take whatever you have.
I want to test how the Sun family will react. Now that the war is over, it's time for internal fighting.
In another half month, when a bunch of vassal kings come to the capital, everyone's fight will not be so easy. "
Lin Xiangyu nodded, then pushed the fragrance into Zhu Qiyu's arms and said with a smile: "Husband, you don't need to pity your sister too much. Sometimes, the more beautiful a woman is, the more she likes to be treated roughly."
After finishing speaking, Lin Xiangyu moved lightly and walked out of the room in a blink of an eye.
Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to ask the beauty in his arms: "Do you really like her?"
Ningxiang's pretty face suddenly turned red, but she still nodded with certainty.
"Since you don't care about it yourself, I won't be polite."
…
The next two days were uneventful.
On November 28, the military report of the main force of the Ming army finally reached the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, the government and the public were completely inspired: the Ming army annihilated the 30,000 troops who had stayed on the grassland in Wala, captured more than 100,000 tribesmen, and captured Ye Xian's first wife, eldest son, and youngest son alive.
In just three or four months, the moods of the government and the public were first thrown to the ground, and now they were thrown into the air again. The ups and downs of life were really exciting.
However, after the excitement, the comparison of abilities between the emperor and the emperor was put on the table. One lost his master and humiliated the country, while the other tried to save the nation.
The contrast is so obvious, so the question is, how should the government and the public treat the Emperor? How should we treat the emperor?
In the past, the war was so intense that no one bothered to worry about it. But now, the war is over and the world is at peace.
In less than half a month, vassal kings and civil and military ministers from all over the country will arrive in Beijing one after another.
At that time, the vassal kings will definitely ask for an explanation.
After welcoming back the Supreme Emperor, should the Supreme Emperor be restored to power?
If the Supreme Emperor is not restored to the throne, after Jingtai, who will pass the throne to him?
If the throne is to be passed to Zhu Jianshen, how can we ensure that Jingtai and his parents will not change their minds and become the crown prince?
Therefore, after the celebration, the undercurrent in the capital became even more turbulent.
However, Zhu Qiyu's mood finally improved completely under the careful comfort of his concubines.
Moreover, after taking stock of the results of the battle to defend the capital, the actual number of beheadings was twice as many as he had expected.
There are more than 80,000 Tartar heads.
Most importantly, a huge bet was won. After two days of searching, Zhu Qiyu got back 900,000 taels of silver, 150,000 taels of gold, and four casinos.
After calculating the accounts, Zhu Qiyu told his princess: "Take out 500,000 taels of silver for rewards and pensions. Another 500,000 taels of silver and 300,000 taels of gold will be used to repair our Xishan New Building." The palace.
The remaining money was used to renovate the old palace, build the new Yamen of Daning Dusi and several military camps for the personal guards.
Spend all the money at home in one go, don't skimp. "
Lin Xiangyu asked curiously after hearing this: "What happens after all the money is spent? Are we going to live longer?"
"After the money is spent, I will go and search the homes. I have already made an agreement with the ministers. All the properties of the eunuchs, royal guards, lords, and monks who are searched will belong to us. The properties of the rest will belong to the court.
I also left a group of Wang Zhen's cronies without copying. You don't know this group of people. Their family has an unimaginable amount of money.
After copying them, our food and clothing expenses will be covered next year.
Besides, major repairs and construction now cost a lot of money. Once these are all repaired, there won’t be much money to spend in the future. "
Lin Xiangyu smiled and said, "That's okay. You can spend it as you please. It's just 500,000 taels of silver and 300,000 taels of gold. Isn't it a bit too much to build our new Qi Palace?"
Zhu Qiyu replied angrily: "I will spend this large amount of money for my own enjoyment. As an emperor, although I cannot compare with Emperor Xiaowen, but compared with most emperors, I am already very restrained.
Besides, I have to live in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to be in a good mood every day. Only when I am in a good mood can I govern the country better.
Therefore, I built a high-standard Qi Prince's Mansion, which is also good for the court and the people.
In addition, you and the sisters decided to spend the money to build the palace as you please. Buy whatever you like and build whatever you want. "
As soon as these words were spoken, the concubines surrounding Zhu Qiyu also cheered.
All the beloved concubines, including Zhu Qiyu himself, wanted to have a palace completely designed and built by themselves.
The place where I live now is really unsatisfactory.
The luxurious and luxurious mansion built by Wang Zhen, who believed deeply in Buddhism, was completely incompatible with the preferences of Zhu Qiyu, who advocated Taoism, and his fifteen beloved concubines.
What Zhu Qiyu and his beloved concubines want is the Jiangnan water town, small bridges and flowing water, innocence and nature, privacy and tranquility.
Now there is only one month left before he can run away. Zhu Qiyu and his beloved concubines are very happy.
In fact, no one in Zhu Qiyu's family really wants to covet that little bit of power. They will cling to the throne and refuse to leave even if they die.
After Tumu Fortress, the Ming Dynasty is in danger. Can this emperor Zhu Qiyu be inappropriate? Let Ming Dynasty die?
Now that the crisis is over, Ming Dynasty no longer needs Zhu Qiyu, the hero who takes the blame, but how can Zhu Qiyu and his family retreat?
From ancient times to the present, once the emperor sits on the throne, there is no way to step down. If you step back, you will die, and the whole family will die together.
Here Zhu Qiyu wants to scold those bastards of the Sima family again. Originally, there was no problem in abdicating, and the emperor who abdicated could still live a good life.
Just because of this mess of the Sima family, it made a big bad start.
Now surrounding the battle for the throne, everyone is left to fight to the death.
Either the Empress Dowager Sun and the Supreme Emperor's side will survive, or Jingtai's side will survive.
If Zhu Qizhen's restoration is really successful, all the remaining Jingtai's beloved concubines will die, except Wang, who is full of rebellion on the back of his head.
So there was no other way. Since the end of the war, Zhu Qiyu began a new plan to seize power.
…
On December 10, the twelfth lunar month of winter, the main force of the Ming army finally returned to the capital with 30,000 Tartar heads.
Zhu Qiyu was determined. With tens of thousands of pro-army troops, he would have the confidence to fight against powerful enemies.
Zhu Qiyu went out of the city to reward the army, and personally supervised his guards to pile the 30,000 newly chopped heads together with the original 50,000 heads.
