As for how to force Cao Jixiang to rebel, that is really a technical job.
Sometimes Zhu Qiyu really admired his eldest brother for being able to force the eunuchs to rebel and attack the palace, which most people really couldn't do.
At this point, Zhu Qizhen can truly be described as 'one emperor through the ages'.
Zhu Qiyu only knew about Cao Jixiang's seizure and rebellion, but it was really puzzling what kind of clever means the 'Eternal Emperor' used to achieve such an effect.
He could only figure out this matter by himself. Zhu Qiyu did not dare to discuss it with the ministers, let alone his favorite concubines.
After all, he had already blown away Niu and his beloved concubines. At that time, he had categorically claimed that Cao Jixiang would be forced to rebel. It would be a bit cowardly to seek advice now.
In order to relieve the embarrassment in his heart, Zhu Qiyu asked the two concubines beside him: "Where has that comrade been recently?"
Qianxue was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Husband, are you talking about the 'Tong Daxian'er' who calculated that the orthodox emperor will be restored?"
"Ah? Wasn't he a half-immortal before? Why has he been upgraded to a great immortal?"
Qianxue sneered and said, "Didn't my sister make a bet with her husband at the beginning that she could persuade the great fairy to 'change her mind'? As a result, the great fairy couldn't get enough food and salt, and my sister suffered a big loss. Later, we sisters will do it again." No one mentions him anymore.”
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he immediately regained his psychological balance. His own princess was also stunned, so no one had to laugh at anyone.
Qianxue continued to add: "That Tongda Xian'er followed Wu Qinghou to the south and is now in Nanjing."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yeah, we have to transfer Marquis Wu Qing back. Among the military generals in Nanjing, Shi Heng, Sun Boring, and Liu Yongcheng; among the civil servants, Shang Ren and Peng Shi; these people have to be transferred back to Beijing.
Otherwise, the eldest brother's power is too weak, and there is no conflict. When will the situation be broken? "
Being an emperor also requires a process of growth.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu's ideas and strategies are constantly being adjusted.
The external manifestation is that the civil and military ministers are repeatedly transferred here and there.
This is also something that can't be helped. It's easier said than done. Many things require hard work to figure out.
Zhu Qiyu's current idea is to gather important civil and military officials in Beijing, and conduct mutual testing for a period of time while Sun and Zhu Qizhen are both there.
Conflicts cannot break out instantly, and must be given a process of trial and accumulation.
And he had to put on a show, ordering the vassal king and some local officials to come to Beijing to congratulate him at the end of the year, and to confirm to the world that His Majesty Zhu Qizhen, the emperor who had returned from hunting in the north, was still well.
Qianxue asked from the side: "Is this the case with Emperor Gongrang and the two princes? Do we still need to visit them in the future?"
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "If we don't go, let's do whatever we want. If we get old, others will think we are poisoning.
Besides, the illness of the three of them will definitely be cured this time. This is a process of psychological game.
When Emperor Gongrang returned to Beijing, he fell seriously ill. Everyone in the government and the public thought that I had done something to him and wanted to get rid of him quickly.
However, after a month or two, Emperor Gongrang's body recovered as before. People will find out that they misunderstood me.
After a while, Emperor Gongrang became seriously ill again, and everyone thought it was me who had done something. As a result, Emperor Gongrang recovered his health again soon after. People will find out that they misunderstood me again.
If this is repeated over and over again, people's minds will change and they will instead think that Gong allowed the emperor to suffer outside the bitter cold and damaged the foundation.
When they no longer think of us, Emperor Gongrang will naturally die.
It's obviously more decent to handle it this way. "
There were only three people in the room, and Qianxue openly asked her doubts: "Did your husband really do it that last time?"
If someone else asked a question like this, he would immediately feel cold on the spot. However, Zhu Qiyu truly doted on his concubines and did not take it seriously. He just sneered:
"What are you thinking, little girl? How could I, the mighty Emperor of Heaven, do such an uncultured thing?
As a man, you must value, value, and value your woman.
Many people have lost at the hands of their own women.
Just think about how terrible the emperor Gongrang's harem is. She can cry even if her legs are lame.
We don't have to do anything, just watch the joke on the sidelines, and the woman who respects the emperor will naturally send him away. "
Qianxue smiled and shook her head: "From the Yinu family's perspective, my colleagues should retreat to Half-Xian'er, and then obediently give up the position of 'Big Xian'er' to my husband."
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Hey, there is nothing we can do. On the way back, I asked Yue Zheng to advise me many times, but he refused to go to Fengyang.
The eldest brother was thinking very well when he was at the Wala Military Camp. As long as he could return to the Ming Dynasty, he would be fine even if he became an ordinary citizen and even if he spent his whole life as a vigil for his ancestors.
As a result, as soon as he entered the land of Ming Dynasty, the eldest brother's thoughts immediately changed.
If there is still hope of killing our family, the eldest brother will definitely choose to give it a try.
After experiencing the feeling of ruling the world, one cannot let go. "
Su Xi asked curiously from the side: "Will my husband also hold on to the throne and never let go?"
"Well, I'm different from them. I just want to farm on Yuquan Mountain. In another twenty years, I will abdicate.
And then enjoy it while I still have the energy. Now I have had enough of worrying and fighting all day long. Whoever wants to be this lousy emperor can be him.
Forget it, let's not mention these annoying things, let's just do the bad things. "
…
Early the next morning, Zhu Qiyu got up early and came to Qingyun Pavilion to handle government affairs.
The elders in the cabinet did not come today. Yesterday they went to Nangong to pay their respects and were reprimanded by the Empress Dowager, which really upset these people. As a result, no one rushed to meet the emperor today.
Zhu Qiyu only met with seven people from Zhongshushe: Huang Pu, He Yi, Yue Zheng, Chen Jian, Lian Gang, Xu Zheng, and Huang Jian.
This is the young civil servant who has followed Zhu Qiyu from the beginning.
In the middle and early Ming Dynasty, most people's names had one character. So there will be a lot of duplicate names.
Yue Zheng, Xu Zheng, Chen Jian, Huang Jian, there are only seven people, but there are two groups with the same name.
Even among this year's Jinshi, there are people with the same name and surname. It can't be helped.
Two of my junior high school students, Yao Xian and Juren Liangang, are also in high school this year, so they can be reused in the future.
Zhu Qiyu first expressed his condolences to Yue Zheng and Chen Jian. The two men's trip to Wala made great achievements.
First, he successfully persuaded Zhu Qizhen and wrote the edict of sinner himself. Second, a huge amount of wealth has been collected from the Yesian tribe. At least this year and next, the court will not have to worry about money.
Just listen to Yue Zheng reporting to Zhu Qiyu: "Your Majesty, all the wealth collected from Wala has been delivered to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Each box containing the treasure has been sealed.
Without His Majesty's will, it has not been opened yet. At that time, Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Qian seized eight carts of gold, silver and jewelry from the palace and sent them privately to the Wala Military Camp.
This time we have recovered some of them, and we ask the Holy Spirit to tell us how to deal with them. "
