To Zhu Qizhen's expectation, Chen Mao was also very straightforward and directly chose his position clearly.
Chen Mao's attitude was also very simple: "Your Majesty, since the Queen Mother has approved it, I think there is no need to question the plan agreed upon by the imperial court.
His Majesty promulgated the imperial edict of sinners and demoted him to the rank of Emperor Gongrang, which can be regarded as an explanation for the failure of Tumubao to the people of the world.
If not, how will your Majesty handle himself in the years to come?
Besides, the Holy Spirit has already issued two edicts to sin against oneself, and the Queen Mother has already issued one edict to sin against oneself. With the Holy Emperor and the Queen Mother's edicts on sin before them, His Majesty's edict on sin is not so abrupt.
Taking this opportunity to completely put the final word on the Tumu Fort incident and letting the government and the public put aside the past and look forward together is the most beneficial choice for His Majesty. "
Zhu Qizhen nodded in despair. Even Wang Ji and Chen Mao were not going to fight for him. Even Anyuan Hou Liu Pu had died on the battlefield, so what else was there to say.
Chen Mao went one step further than Wang Ji and prepared beauties from the Western Regions for the Supreme Emperor early.
Ganzhou, located in the Hexi Corridor, is the only place for business travelers from the Western Regions to trade with the Ming Dynasty. There are all kinds of rare treasures and beauties from the Western Regions.
Zhu Qizhen, who has been a "monk" for two years, plunged into the countryside of Wenwen to drown his sorrows in wine and sex.
…
At the same time, in Prince Qi's Mansion and Lingyu Palace, Zhu Qiyu was waiting for his princess to wash her feet.
To say that the person who went to extremes the most among the Ming emperors was definitely Zhu Qiyu.
Because he was afraid of being poisoned by his beloved concubine and his unborn children, Zhu Qiyu, Concubine Wu, Mrs. Wu Dinghou, and Mrs. Xu Xian did all the cooking, bathing, and washing themselves.
Zhu Qiyu was so cautious. Concubine Wu was his biological mother, Mrs. Wu Dinghou was his mother-in-law, and Mrs. Xu Xian was his biological mother. These three people had no motive to harm their beloved concubines and children.
Qianxue, Suxi, and Ningxiang, who are not pregnant, are also busy.
The rest of the people are not used at all. Zhu Qiyu would rather work more by himself than give others a chance to do anything.
Don't think that the prince of Ming Dynasty will not be manipulated.
Look at the Jiajing version of family planning. Eight sons were born. By coincidence, only the prince selected by the ministers survived to the end.
Looking at the descendants of Tianqi, it is even more straightforward and completely undisguised.
Lin Xiangyu is nine months pregnant and will finally give birth in about a month.
There is a half chance that if it is the prince, everything will be fine. He will finally settle the issue of heirs before the Supreme Emperor returns to the capital, and stabilize the hearts of his confidants.
Although Zhu Qiyu does not favor boys over girls, he has no choice but to inherit the throne.
These days, Zhu Qiyu has really been serving Lin Xiangyu as his own ancestor.
Zhu Qiyu did not neglect the other concubines, and responded to their requests and showed great care.
He has been so busy lately, but Zhu Qiyu still found time to think about the arrangements for the court.
While Zhu Qiyu held Lin Xiangyu's pink and tender feet and washed them carefully, he made a tough decision in his heart:
An edict will be issued tomorrow, ordering Nanjing Minister of Rites Hu Hui, Nanjing Minister of War Yu Qian, Nanjing Minister of War Xu Qi, Minister of War Hou Jing, Nanjing garrison eunuch Yuan Cheng, Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong and others to go to Beijing immediately to report on their duties.
Zhu Qiyu decided to start a real two-capital system, which would greatly strengthen the power and role of Nanjing. Relying on Beijing alone to recover the homeland of Cochin and restart Western trade is really beyond its reach.
Therefore, if we want to make a difference in the south, we must give full play to Nanjing's central role.
This logical relationship is very clear and there is no room for negotiation.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu sighed heavily. His life was really bad. Forget it he couldn't meet a perfect military general like Qi Jiguang. Finally, he had Jiao Hong, the Minister of Household Affairs, who died of illness in the 14th year of Zhengtong.
Who else can manage Zhejiang and Fujian provinces on my behalf?
Without historical experience to rely on, we can only discover talents ourselves.
If you can't eat ready-made food, then the next step will be a test of talent selection.
Zhu Qiyu himself felt a lot of pressure.
In addition, there are some annoying ministers, and two of them have to die. If we don't kill the chicken to scare the monkey, once Zhu Qizhen returns to Beijing, there will be a bunch of people jumping up and down again.
When Lin Xiangyu saw Zhu Qiyu sighing at first, and then a cold murderous intention flashed in his eyes, she was suddenly frightened and asked quickly: "Why does your husband look like he is going to kill someone? Who doesn't know how to appreciate him?"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Don't worry, don't ask. There are some things that can only be done, not talked about. Killing people sometimes requires skills, so that those people die naturally and logically.
As an emperor, there are always times when you need to use some power.
Besides, once the Supreme Emperor returns to the capital, the situation between the two sides will definitely be life and death, and it is impossible to survive.
I have to strike first, otherwise the people who follow me will inevitably suffer the consequences if they strike later.
There is no way, I also want our children to enjoy peace in the future. "
Lin Xiangyu stroked her belly and said no more.
Seeing this, Qianxue answered from the side: "Husband, in a few days it will be the Flower Festival, and Su Xi and I are old. Husband, you can't keep your promises before."
When Zhu Qiyu mentioned this, he became happy again, nodded repeatedly, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I will certainly remember it.
You two little sisters look almost exactly the same. If you enjoy this, your happiness will not only be doubled. "
Qianxue blushed with embarrassment and stopped talking.
After a warm night, at noon the next day, Zhu Qiyu came out to manage politics. The first thing he did was to ask He Yi to draft a decree and summon the important ministers in Nanjing to report on their duties.
He Yi was a little confused: "His Majesty wants to recall Shangshu Hu to Beijing again?"
Zhu Qiyu replied: "The Supreme Emperor returns to the capital. Before entering the city, he must hold a public abdication ceremony outside Xizhimen and demotion to the respectful emperor. There must be someone to preside over the ceremony and be the bad guy.
Hu Hui was one of the five ministers left by the late emperor to take care of the emperor's orders. He had accomplished the important tasks entrusted by the late emperor to what he is now. He would not be the bad guy who would do this.
Let him have a beginning and an end, starting from assisting the Supreme Emperor and ending with personally presiding over the abdication ceremony of the Supreme Emperor. This can be regarded as giving an explanation to the late emperor. "
He Yi heard the words, pondered for a long time, then nodded thoughtfully, and then continued to ask: "Then summon Yu Shangshu, Xu Shilang of the Nanjing Ministry of War, and Hou Shilang of the Ministry of War to the capital, and summon the three important ministers of the Ministry of War, Your Majesty Are there any major deployments?”
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Xu Yu is going to be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, and we will also create a second Minister in Nanjing. As for Hou Jing, I haven't decided yet whether to let him stay in Beijing or continue to supervise military affairs in Nanjing.
I'll wait until I talk to him in person.
There is also Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong. I also have to talk to him. If he has a good attitude, I want him to guard Nanjing and take charge of the overall situation. "
