Qianxue and Su Xi, the little pair, were nestling next to Zhu Qiyu. As soon as they heard that they were going to tell a story, Qianxue quickly replied: "Husband, we don't want to hear stories. We want to hear your husband's summary of the past six months." and thoughts.”
Zhu Qiyu sighed softly, and then replied: "Hey, it's really fun to be a slave owner. I will be a slave owner in the next life."
Hearing this, Qianxue grabbed Zhu Qiyu's arm and twisted it gently: "Husband, how are you doing? Who asked you if you are happy being a slave owner?"
Zhu Qiyu asked innocently: "Didn't you ask me to tell you my summary and thoughts over the past six months? Why do you still want to pinch me when I tell the truth?"
"We wanted to hear your summary of being an emperor, and we didn't ask you to talk about your feelings as a slave owner."
"Oh, that's it. Hey, when you become an emperor, you really have no choice but to do it yourself. I can honestly say that I don't love power, but I really planned to let Jian Shen be the prince at first, and then let him inherit in the end. Of the throne.
It's a pity that once you sit in this position, you can't help yourself.
Even if I want Jian Shen to succeed me, it is impossible for my cronies to agree.
They put their heads on their belts and sold half their lives for me. As a result, I told them that I wanted to return the throne to the lineage of the Supreme Emperor. Isn't this just teasing them?
As soon as these words are spoken, my rule will collapse immediately, and you will be waiting to be buried by then. "
When Lin Xiangyu heard this, she immediately added: "What your husband said is true. We can no longer take the prince to our house to play. Otherwise, if the prince has a problem in our hands, we won't be able to clean it up even if he jumps into the Yellow River."
Now that I think about it, I'm really scared. Fortunately, nothing happened to the prince when he was in our house. If the queen mother had taken action at that time and asked the maids and eunuchs around the prince to feed the prince something, we would have been doomed. "
Su Xi also praised: "That's because my husband is very clever. We got along well with the Sun family at that time, and the Queen Mother didn't expect that it would come to a life-and-death situation so quickly.
Now that we have broken up, we have already sent the prince back to the queen. If anything happens, we will not be blamed at all.
From now on, we just need to give the prince more gold and silver and express our concern. We should neither pick him up to play with nor give him food or drink. "
As soon as Su Xi said this, all the beloved concubines nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but feel gratified when he saw that all the concubines were so enlightened.
Everyone was chatting, and before they knew it, the sound of firecrackers outside was loud, obviously it was the new year.
Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "Husband, please stand up, and we sisters will kowtow to you."
Zhu Qiyu resisted and said: "Forget it, there's no need to kowtow. It's not easy for you to serve me so hard these past six months. It's my turn to thank you."
Lin Xiangyu insisted: "That won't work, today is the first day of the Jingtai Dynasty, and it is also the first day that my husband officially became the Jingtai Emperor.
This is the first head of the Jingtai Dynasty, but it is a very lucky head, and we sisters must come and kowtow it. "
Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to stand up, and the concubines kowtowed on the couch and said some auspicious words before everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.
A night of silence.
The first day of the first lunar month, early in the morning.
Before dawn, a large-scale military deployment took place in the capital.
There were 10,000 Yumajian and 20,000 Yingzhou guards, who surrounded the entire imperial city.
Another eight thousand Yingzhou guards entered the imperial city and closely guarded the palace gates and pavilions.
It was still the old rule that the imperial guards would never be allowed to interfere with the emperor's protection.
Zhu Qiyu was always cautious, so he mobilized so many troops. First, he wanted to show the emperor's majesty and give a strong sense of oppression to the officials attending the court meeting.
Another thing is that if someone dares to rebel against the emperor, Zhu Qiyu will not mind raising his butcher knife and killing everyone.
Especially for the vassal kings who are dissatisfied with their faces, words, and hearts, I am a majestic emperor, guarding the capital, and sitting on an army of 100,000, and I can still make you stir up trouble.
Just after the fifth watch, Zhao Xuan and Liu Chang led a thousand of the most elite Yingzhou guards to protect the emperor and entered the Forbidden City from Donghua Gate.
Then Zhu Qiyu sat leisurely in the Fengtian Palace, waiting for the arrival of the ministers.
Not long after, civil and military officials and nobles entered the Forbidden City through the Meridian Gate one after another. Most of the vassal princes entered the Forbidden City through Donghua Gate.
Faced with this scene of one sentry at every five steps and one post at ten steps, most civil and military officials were relatively calm, because although most people preferred the Supreme Emperor, they had basically accepted their fate.
Not to mention whether the Supreme Emperor can come back or not, even if he does come back, if he can save his life and be imprisoned for life, it would be a good outcome.
Want to reset? Even the most die-hard Wang Zhi, Hu Bi, Yang Shan, and Li Shi gave up hope of being restored. Didn't they realize that Wang Laoshang had already retired and went home to retire in despair?
The mentality of the vassal kings and nobles was completely different. There were so many soldiers and such a strict military appearance, which made most of the vassal kings and nobles feel unhappy.
Which emperor held a court meeting and mobilized tens of thousands of pro-army troops to defend the imperial city? Didn't the emperor make it clear that he planned to kill everyone at the slightest disagreement?
However, the vassal king and nobles still had troubles to express. When the Supreme Emperor was in power, he had to do some extravagant things and transferred most of the elite troops from the capital to the south to suppress the rebellion. As a result, the capital was now filled with pro-army troops loyal to the emperor.
If this made the emperor angry, he would basically kill whomever he wanted and how he wanted to kill him. But Queen Mother Sun, a smart woman, took the initiative to send the emperor to the position of suffering master.
In just a few days, the entire Prince Xin's palace was wiped out. As the emperor's victim, even if he killed a group of people in retaliation, the government and the public would completely understand.
With mixed emotions, the vassal kings, nobles and civil and military officials lined up in order outside Fengtian Gate, and entered the Fengtian Hall to pay homage to Emperor Jingtai.
After everyone knelt down and worshiped, Zhu Qiyu ordered two chairs to be brought in, so that Prince Soochow and Prince Min could sit at the foot of the steps, one on the left and the other on the right. Then he waved to Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng immediately ordered his personal guards to take Shi Jing up, and then Wang Wen stood up and read out Shi Jing's charges on behalf of the Third Law Division.
This was the first time in the Ming Dynasty that the emperor disclosed the murder of an imperial relative during a court meeting in Fengtian Palace.
The last time the murder case of an imperial relative was publicly dealt with, it was Taizong's cronies who caused Princess Ning Guo's consort Mei Yin to fall into the water and drown. That has been more than 40 years ago. At this time, most of the courtiers had no impression.
After Wang Wen finished reading out Shi Jing's charges, Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "The three law divisions will conduct a joint trial. Witnesses and oral confessions are available, and Shi Jing also confessed to his crimes.
This is not considered an injustice. Shi Jing will be punished tomorrow, and everyone attending the court meeting today must go and watch the execution.
The three Shijiayi tribes, regardless of their age, all abandoned the market. The property was confiscated and not confiscated. "
When Shi Jing heard this, he was so frightened that he collapsed in the hall. The officials also discussed it a lot.
Wang Cheng ordered his guards to drag Shi Jing down, and then looked at the emperor.
Zhu Qiyu nodded, and Wang Cheng took the imperial edict from the imperial case and handed it to Chen Xun.
Originally, in a normal court meeting, the ministers should report the matter and the monarch and ministers should decide. Now it was a unilateral declaration by the emperor. However, due to the incident at the Prince's Palace, the emperor's face was gloomy and the ministers did not dare to say anything.
Chen Xun faced the courtiers and read out the imperial edict that Empress Hu would be restored to the throne and the emperor would be adopted.
The well-informed dignitaries and ministers had already received the news yesterday; those who were less informed had already heard it through hearsay when the ministers gathered together before the court this morning.
But when they finally heard the official imperial edict, the ministers still had mixed feelings.
Twenty years have passed since Xuanzong was deposed, and the world has finally changed.
Life is such a dream. Empress Hu, who had no chance of turning around, turned out to be a blessing in disguise and changed her destiny because of a series of catastrophic operations by the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen.
It can be said that there is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark flowers and bright flowers.
Moreover, Zhu Qiyu was very strong and gave Empress Hu a thirteen-character posthumous title: Zhaoyu Ming De, Xiao Gong, Kindness, Benevolence and Equal to Heaven, worthy of Empress Shengzhen.
Referred to as Queen Zhaoyuzhen.
