However, what Zhu Qiyu wanted was not an imperial edict from the Supreme Emperor, but a complete confession of guilt by Zhu Qizhen, formal abdication, and the resignation from the Supreme Emperor to the respectful emperor.
This is the most important thing.
Although they are both emperors, Emperor Taishang and Emperor Gongrang are completely different.
Theoretically, Zhu Qiyu, the current emperor, is a minister of the Supreme Emperor. And everyone in the government and the public also thought so. Most people expected that at least in terms of etiquette, the emperor should treat the emperor as a courtier and treat him with courtesy.
But this is certainly not what Zhu Qiyu himself expected. I don't even want to worship Emperor Xuanzong, so how can I be willing to kowtow to you, the supreme emperor who has sinned against heaven?
Therefore, Zhu Qizhen must be allowed to retreat and become the respectful emperor. In this way, Emperor Gongrang is Zhu Qiyu, a minister of the current emperor.
But it is obvious that Li Shi only proposed that the Supreme Emperor issue an edict to punish himself, but had no intention of letting Zhu Qizhen be subordinate to the current emperor.
Fortunately, Zhu Qiyu doesn't have expectations for these people. Zhu Qiyu had already chosen the person who proposed to the Supreme Emperor to demote him.
So Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and ordered everyone to go back to the city to pay homage to the Empress Dowager, and to tell the Empress Dowager and the two empresses what happened to the Emperor.
Zhu Qiyu himself is still busy with the most important task: creating humans.
This is definitely not a joke. When doing things, you need to be prepared in advance and have enough backup.
If the situation is out of control and the Emperor returns to Beijing earlier than planned, then it will be extremely important whether he gives birth to a prince or not.
Without the prince, he would feel restricted everywhere, his followers would not be able to settle down, and it would be difficult for both the government and the public to fully surrender to him.
With a prince, no matter whether they are close ministers or direct soldiers, they will have more confidence to do things.
Back in the room, Zhu Qiyu immediately put on a calm expression. He would not bring the spoiled food at home, and he would not pass on the pressure from the government and the opposition to his beloved concubine.
Besides, Zhu Qiyu is also confident that after his hard work, it will bear fruit by May or June at most.
A day without words, another night of hard work.
April 22nd.
The cabinet is extremely efficient. After returning to the city yesterday, it immediately paid a pilgrimage to the Empress Dowager. Early this morning, many imperial edicts, including the Sinner's Edict, were officially issued.
The emperor's criticism of the emperor was immediately resolved.
Everyone secretly mocked the emperor, and the emperor immediately issued an imperial edict and admitted all his sins. Everyone asked to welcome the Supreme Emperor back, and the emperor immediately ordered Jing Yuanbo's army to go and welcome the Supreme Emperor back.
Now there was no reason for anyone to continue attacking the emperor.
The emperor has made huge concessions. What else can we do? We can't write a letter asking the emperor to abdicate and let the emperor restore him.
The government and the public only sympathized with the Supreme Emperor, but if the emperor was really forced to abdicate, the people of the world would sympathize with the emperor in turn.
Although popular support is available, it is also unstable.
And no one thought that the emperor should abdicate, so the Emperor's faction could only give up when they saw fit.
The crowd was raging, but it only caused a small wave, and then calmed down again.
Yang Hong, Yang Jun and Guo Jing were convicted and then taken to Xuan Mansion for incarceration.
As for why the execution was not carried out in the capital, rather than in Lingchi in the Xuan Mansion, this was Zhu Qiyu's special arrangement to shock the entire Xuan Mansion and prevent people from resisting.
The entire Shanxi, starting from Xuanfu, will be investigated thoroughly. No one who has colluded with Wala or participated in smuggling can escape. In particular, the property of these traitorous ministers was Zhu Qiyu's greatest reliance in implementing benevolent policies in the early years of Jingtai.
To this end, Tao Jin led 18,000 Shenji Battalion soldiers to set up defenses in the city. Xu Heng personally led a battalion of 20,000 warriors and stationed them outside Xuanfu City, ready to suppress the rebellion at any time.
Yang Hong had been operating in the Xuanfu for many years, but was finally ordered to Lingchi by the emperor, which really caused a huge shock. The original Xuanfu garrison had been completely wiped out in the process of suppressing the Miao rebellion. Some of the rebellious officials and traitors in the city who were ready to make a move were completely quiet again.
There was no way, everyone saw the emperor's resolute attitude. As long as there is a slight movement in the city and the truth is revealed, the emperor obviously does not mind a massacre, just like what Taizu did back then.
If you don't move, your head will die and your family will be exiled. It moved, the chief evil was Ling Chi, and the three tribes were wiped out.
Now all the combat-effective troops in Xuanfu are direct descendants of the emperor. Anyone with normal intelligence knows how to choose.
As a result, the whole of Shanxi soon became a prey for slaughter.
After Shanxi has been completely plowed, the next step is to dismantle the guard posts and rebuild Shanxi's defense force.
Zhu Qiyu could only say sorry for the impregnable Shanxi defense line established by Yu Qian during his nineteen years as governor of Shanxi.
The next two months were peaceful and the government was operating smoothly and orderly.
…
June 20th came in a blink of an eye.
At noon that day, after dinner, Zhu Qiyu lay leisurely on the couch, chatting with his beloved concubines.
At this time, the weather had become hot, and the original hot spring greenhouse could no longer be lived in. Zhu Qiyu and his concubines temporarily moved to the snow hall on the east slope.
The original hot spring greenhouse was demolished and rebuilt with white marble according to the drawings designed by Zhu Qiyu and his concubines. After the construction is completed, they will come to live here this winter.
In the shade of the western slope, the newly built summer residence is almost completed.
The days are becoming more and more refreshing. After half a year of peaceful mountain living, Zhu Qiyu has completely nourished his energy and is ready to start a life-and-death political struggle with the Supreme Emperor at any time.
Considering Zhu Qizhen's suffering outside the Great Wall, his ambition will definitely be greatly depleted.
Zhu Qiyu was waiting for work, and he already had the advantage before the battle began.
Moreover, Zhu Qiyu also has the huge advantage of predicting the unknown. According to historical experience, Zhu Qizhen only suffers losses and does not learn lessons. After the Restoration, he remained careless and had no political wisdom at all.
In particular, Zhu Qizhen still had no defense against the civil and military ministers. In the end, the inexplicable Cao Qin Rebellion occurred. This was a truly once-in-a-lifetime eunuch rebellion. Not long after the death of Queen Mother Sun, Zhu Qizhen was sent away.
As for how it was sent away? According to Zhu Qiyu's own speculation, it is likely that a bowl of medicine solved the problem.
There is also Chenghua in history, which is more obvious. It is very likely that he was sent away with a bowl of medicine.
That's why Zhu Qiyu was extremely doting on his beloved concubines. In addition to his kind nature, he was also afraid that he would also be sent away with a bowl of medicine.
After four months and more than a hundred days of intimacy day and night, Lin Xiangyu became more and more clingy, and their relationship has reached a new level.
Seeing Zhu Qiyu there in a daze, Lin Xiangyu pushed Zhu Qiyu and whispered: "Husband, it has been seven or eight days, and my menstrual period has not come yet."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he sat up straight: "Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier, Qian'er? You have a good foundation, and you have been carefree and nourished in the past few months. Your body should be in the best condition." .
It's impossible for menstruation to be delayed for no reason. Could it be that I'm already pregnant?
How have you been feeling recently? Do you feel nauseous? "
Lin Xiangyu shook her head: "Everything I eat tastes delicious, and I don't feel like vomiting."
After everyone heard this, they also joined in.
