Throughout the afternoon and evening, the contents of Yue Zheng's memorial spread rapidly, various news and public opinions continued to ferment, and the capital became more and more lively.
The Ten Princes' Mansion gathered the princes and princes who came to Beijing. With King Min and King Xiang at the center respectively, there was an endless flow of royal relatives and dignitaries communicating with each other, and they all actively participated in the discussion of this dispute.
Zhu Qiyu played leisurely all afternoon and all night.
The next day came, the morning of December 18th.
Zhu Qiyu took his little princess to the front yard early. Today is the day when Tuotaobuhua and Alazhiyuan personally lead the delegation to Beijing.
These two people had made great contributions to Zhu Qiyu's serious injury. Moreover, although the main force of the Ming army had already returned to the court, the 60,000 troops of Totuo Buhua and Alazhiyuan were still jointly pursuing the remnants of Ye Xian.
In line with the principle of taking advantage of his illness to kill him, these 60,000 coalition troops occupied key points and patrolled back and forth, completely cutting off Ye Xian's contact with the Ming court.
Do you want to send an envoy to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty first? Don't even think about it.
Without the mission to continuously obtain iron tools, arrows, armor and other materials from the Ming Dynasty, it would not be able to withstand blockades and attacks from many parties at first.
Not to mention anything else, if the arrows alone are not replenished, then your own stock is used up. What else will you do in the future? Wouldn't it be possible to just stare and be chased and beaten by others?
An alliance in which everyone can benefit will be a stable alliance.
Totu Bohua and Alazhiyuan became the two most powerful giants in Mongolia and gained huge benefits. Naturally, they firmly supported the Emperor of Heaven.
And the benefits Zhu Qiyu received are countless. Not to mention the lofty prestige of being the first to reap heavy losses. Now, without spending a single soldier, there are 60,000 Mongolian troops to completely eliminate Ye first for the Ming Dynasty. How comfortable and comfortable it is.
The most important thing is that with these two allies, Zhu Qiyu can bring Zhu Qizhen back whenever he wants.
It is entirely up to you to decide, and no one else can interfere at all.
If Zhu Qiyu still doesn't want the annoying Emperor Zhu Qizhen to come back, he only needs to euphemistically hint to Tuotaobuhua and Alazhiyuan, and let the peace negotiation mission sent by Ye first disappear quietly on the grassland.
When the Emperor is needed, he can just send envoys to pick him up.
In this way, you can attack and defend, advance and retreat freely, which is very comfortable.
Zhu Qiyu leaned on the soft couch and listened leisurely to He Yi, Xu Zheng and Huang Jian reading the memorial.
Lin Xiangyu was in the main hall, enjoying the British prince Zhang Zhongla's homely affairs.
Zhang Zhong didn't want to make things up, but felt a little guilty. He didn't know what good things were waiting for him after being called here so early in the morning.
Lin Xiangyu saw that Zhang Zhong was a little impatient, so she got to the point: "Your Majesty invites the Duke to come here today. There are several things he wants to discuss with you."
"Princess, please speak."
"First, I heard that the British government has 200 hectares of royal land near Yuquan Mountain. I would like to exchange it with you for 500 hectares of high-quality farmland."
This was not a scary thing. Zhang Zhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied: "If the princess needs it, just take it. Everything in our house is a gift from the royal family. We serve the king as a minister, so there is no need for it." What are we talking about about replacement?"
Lin Xiangyu waved her hands with a smile: "That won't work. Even if the British prince himself doesn't mind, spreading the word and letting outsiders say that the emperor robs the fertile land of nobles is unethical.
After the New Year, our family will move to Yuquan Mountain. Except for the 200 hectares of land from your British government, we have already replaced the rest.
I can't thank you enough for your willingness to do this. How can I let you suffer in vain again? "
After Zhang Zhong heard this, he no longer insisted.
Lin Xiangyu continued: "I want to recognize Marquis Wu Ding as my father, and the day after tomorrow I will have a formal banquet at the Marquis Wuding Mansion to recognize me. In order to make the recognition ceremony more formal, we will have three or four witnesses here; the Marquis Wu Ding Mansion will have three or four witnesses. .
I would like to ask Duke Yingying, Duke Anguo, Duke Cao Guo, and Duke Dingguo to be our witnesses. I wonder if Duke Yingying is willing to give this face? "
Zhang Zhong was a little confused. He sat there for a long time before he came to his senses. This was too scary. Yesterday, it was revealed that Yue Zheng was fighting for Empress Hu to be restored to the throne. Today, it was revealed that Princess Qi recognized her relatives.
This was due to the suspicion that the capital was not chaotic enough. Zhang Zhong felt that his brain was a little out of control. It was the Wuding Marquis Mansion, and the eldest princess of Yongjia was in charge. Once the marriage was confirmed, Princess Qi's status would be completely stable.
In the future, if anyone thinks about killing Princess Qi with just a raise of his hand, it will become a pure daydream. Even if the emperor nods, the Xungui Group cannot agree.
Look at the witnesses invited by the princess, the four princes, what a grand ceremony.
It was hard to think for too long, Zhang Zhong agreed with a smile on his face, and stood up to salute and congratulate.
Then Zhang Zhong asked curiously: "Princess, who is this Duke An Guo?"
"Dong An Guo is the Marquis of Xing'an. Today, His Majesty will issue an edict to grant the title of Duke An Guo to the Marquis of Xing'an."
Zhang Zhong nodded. In this battle to defend the capital, Marquis Xing'an did indeed make a great contribution. It would be no problem for Jin to grant him the title of Duke.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiangyu asked the third and most pointed question: "The British Duke has also heard about Queen Hu. Your Majesty is going to send a Duke to worship Queen Hu in the mausoleum. I don't know that the British Lord has heard about it." Are you willing to go through the hard work?"
Zhang Zhong had known about Empress Hu's restoration for a long time. The last time the emperor met with brothers Huan and Hu Xuan, Zhang Zhong happened to be there.
But this mission to worship Empress Hu was really fatal. If he really wanted to go, it would be equivalent to receiving a certificate of surrender, completely joining the emperor's camp, and becoming incompatible with the emperor's faction.
The most difficult thing for Zhang Zhong was that the emperor was too young. Once he rejects Princess Qi, he will definitely be completely rejected by the emperor. During the following period when the emperor was in power, the British government never wanted to get ahead.
The emperor did still miss the old love of his grandfather Zhang Yu, the king of Hejian, but this feeling was not omnipotent and could not support Zhang Zhong's endless swings.
Zhu Qiyu already had enough affection for the British government. If it were someone else who was so hesitant, he would have kicked him away long ago, completely out of sight and out of mind.
Lin Xiangyu just looked at Zhang Zhong quietly without urging him.
Finally, Zhang Zhongxin raised his eyebrows, gritted his teeth, and slapped the table: "I'll go, I'm willing to obey the king's order."
Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "Okay, I'll thank you for your service to the British Duke. This time, I will use the Queen's gift to worship Queen Hu. After the New Year, Your Majesty will go there again in person."
Zhang Zhong nodded, the two chatted for a few more words, and then Zhang Zhong left.
After sending Zhang Zhong away, Lin Xiangyu ordered someone to open the main door. After a while, Zhu Qiyu also walked out.
The two of them stood at the door together and personally greeted Totoko and Ara Zhiyuan. Then everyone was invited to Jiangyun Pavilion to hold a banquet.
This time Tuo Tuo Bu Hua brought his current wife, Ye Xian's sister, and his wife's son, Ye Xian Meng Ke. There is also a young son named Maer Gurjith who was born to another woman.
As for Ye Xian's sister and Ye Xian Meng Ke, there is no need to be polite. Zhu Qiyu directly sent someone to send them to reunite with the previously captured Ye Xian, his wife and two sons.
Tuo Tuo Bu Hua's youngest son, Ma'er Gurjisi, was arranged to move into the deep house compound that had been prepared for a long time. According to Zhu Qiyu's previous agreement with Tuo Tuo Bu Hua, his youngest son must grow up and study in Beijing.
At the same time, Alazhiyuan also brought his young grandson to the capital, demanding the same treatment as his young son Tuotuo Buhua. This was also agreed in advance, and Zhu Qiyu had already ordered his princess to make arrangements.
While everyone was feasting, they reiterated the agreement reached through the emissary.
This time Tuotaobuhua and Alazhiyuan heard the emperor's promise with their own ears, and they were completely relieved.
Zhu Qiyu invited the two of them to participate in the recognition ceremony the day after tomorrow, and they both agreed.
In the afternoon, the guests and hosts had a good time and the banquet dispersed.
Zhu Qiyu sent everyone away and was not in a hurry to go back to his room to sleep. Instead, he came to the West Flower Hall and issued an edict that Jin would make Xu Heng, Marquis of Xing'an, the Duke of An.
At this point, although Zhu Qiyu still suffered a loss in terms of being a marquis, when it came to Dukes of the Kingdom, those who stood in the emperor's camp were Duke Yingying, Duke An, Duke Ding, and Duke Cao.
Neutral, Wei Guogong. The emperor sent him to become the Duke of the country.
Zhu Qiyu already had an absolute advantage, so any ceremony would be much more dignified.
Immediately afterwards, Wudinghou Mansion began to send out invitations one after another.
The royal family, nobles, civil servants and generals who received the invitation passed it on to ten, and passed it on to hundreds. The news that the Wuding Hou Mansion recognized a daughter once again caused an uproar.
Today's capital city can be said to be experiencing ups and downs one after another, making people overwhelmed.
Even the business of Zhu Qiyu's own property, Jie Tian Tower, has improved to a higher level and it has become difficult to find one. All those wealthy families are crowded here waiting to hear the latest news.
