When he first ascended the throne, Zhu Qiyu had already promised Yang Jie that as long as he helped the court completely clean up the Xuan Mansion, not only would he not take his life, but he would also let him inherit the title of Earl of Yingyang.
As an emperor, of course he cannot break his promise or go back on his word.
But for Yang Hong's family, they really should be eradicated.
And if Li Bing really had the ironclad evidence to accuse Yang Jie, he couldn't really ignore the law and help Yang Jie get away with it.
The key is now that Liu Zhongfu, Li Tang, Wang Wei, and Cao Tai have all been transferred to Datong, leaving only Li Bing in the Xuanfu.
Zhu Qiyu couldn't think of a suitable candidate to replace Li Bing, so he could only close his eyes and choose to follow Li Bing's path until death.
Huang Pu did not rush him and just waited patiently. Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a long time before replying: "According to what Li Bing said, I ordered the Jinyi Guards to escort Yang Wen, Yang Jian and Jiang Fu back to the capital for punishment.
Gong Sheng, an internal official, was transferred back to the capital, and Ji Guang, deputy commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, recalled his duties to the capital.
In addition, Tao Jin should be ordered to lead the Shenji Battalion to Xuanfu again to take charge. Tao Jin can still control the situation. "
From Zhu Qiyu's point of view, all Shenji Camp and Xiaoqi Camp were transferred back to the capital to prevent unexpected events. Now that Zhu Qizhen has been welcomed back and the abdication has been successfully completed, there is no need to confine so many elites to the capital.
In recent years, there has been no war in the north.
Even if there is another war in the future, it should be in the two directions of the Hexi Corridor and Liaodong.
In the past dynasties, as long as there was a regime that unified the Central Plains, it was bound to capture the Liaodong and Hexi Corridors.
Especially in Liaodong, the battle between the Sui and Tang Dynasties was so tangled, I feel so tired just thinking about it.
And the Ming Dynasty was eventually given to Liaodong.
Zhu Qiyu thought about it and started scratching his head again.
The first step in his Liaodong management strategy is to rebuild the two cities of Daning and Guangning, and create an impregnable Guangning defense line for future generations to ensure that when the Ming Dynasty appears two hundred years later, it can also deal with the threat from the Jurchens.
Yes, this mediocre person is talking about Tianqi and Chongzhen.
The one who is more stupid than Tianqi and Chongzhen is none other than Wanli. He sent the main force of the Ming army into the deep mountains and forests for the entire Saarhu War.
We are not afraid that the emperor will be fatuous, but we are afraid that the emperor will commit suicide.
Wanli's pursuit of death is as good as Zhu Qizhen's.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu exerted his spirit of self-sacrifice and others, and still had to build the Guangning defense line for his descendants. We are not afraid of the incompetence of our descendants. As long as they are self-aware and guard the Guangning defense line, the Jurchens will not be able to get in even if they take all the lives of the Eight Banners.
Unfortunately, building a city requires money, and Zhu Qiyu's biggest problem now is lack of money.
Guangning and Daning need to build defense lines; Xuanfu and Datong need to build defense lines; the Hexi Corridor needs to build defense lines; the inner and outer Hetao also need to build defense lines.
These four large lines of defense in the north are at risk. No matter which line of defense is built, money will be wasted once it is started. It is absolutely impossible to complete the construction of four lines of defense at the same time while he is in power.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu got up and left helplessly. He still had to go home to be with his wife and children.
His eldest son must be accompanied and nurtured little by little since he was a child. He must not become like Liu Shi.
Let alone let him become like Zhu Qizhen.
You have to educate him well and then let him continue his strategy. Don't be like the good saint-grandson who completely scrapped Taizong's national policies in less than two years.
Zhu Qiyu went back to his bedroom first, and saw that his four beloved concubines, Lin Xiangyu, Qianxue, Su Xi and Ningxiang, were all there.
Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Why did you run out? You are still in confinement. You should stay in bed for another seven or eight days."
Lin Xiangyu opened her jade arms and danced on the spot to show the lightness of her body. Then she smiled at Zhu Qiyu and said, "Husband, look, I am already alive and kicking. If you don't believe me, please check my body personally."
"Concubine? Although a mother is more valuable than her son, she deserves a higher reward. But you girl is too proactive. In the blink of an eye, you have promoted yourself two levels."
Lin Xiangyu smiled sheepishly and said: "Oh, I have been promoted a little too much? Then go down one level. Husband, come here and let me help you change your clothes."
Zhu Qiyu shook his head helplessly. Qianxue and Suxi had recently been responsible for handling the general affairs of the palace and were becoming more and more mature. Lin Xiangyu was carefully cared for by everyone and didn't worry about anything. Instead, she became more and more childish.
While changing his clothes, Zhu Qiyu asked: "You guys are all running over here, where is our young prince?"
Lin Xiangyu replied: "Husband, don't worry, my concubine and the two wet nurses are watching."
Zhu Qiyu nodded. His eldest son was lucky. He had two wet nurses when he was born, which was much better than his own who had no wet nurses.
Both of these wet nurses were snatched from the Wuding Hou Mansion, so they were safe to use.
The first one is Mrs. Li, who is her mother-in-law and the nurse sister of Mrs. Wu Dinghou.
The first is Zhang, the wet nurse of her father-in-law, Guo Chang, Marquis of Wuding.
The nanny sister is the daughter of the nanny of Wu Dinghou and his wife.
Nanny, in most cases, is very reliable.
Just like Jiajing being chased by fire all day long, every time he escaped from death, it was his nurse brother Lu Bing who carried him out of the sea of fire.
Wu Dinghou and his wife originally planned to keep these two nanny sisters to be nannies for their children.
As a result, due to the dispute over the title of the Marquis of Wuding, the internal fighting was extremely complicated, and the two were unable to have an heir for many years.
So I could only take advantage of Zhu Qiyu and get these two people over anyway.
Wudinghou Guo Chang was in his early thirties, and Wudinghou's wife was only in her twenties, so she was quite capable of giving birth now. The two of them refused to let him go on the excuse that their child still needed a nanny.
However, Wu Dinghou and his wife just pretended to be unhappy and used this to make Zhu Qiyu owe more favors. Considering the interests of my own nanny, being the nanny for the young prince is really a promising prospect.
As long as the young prince grows up safely, he will almost certainly become the next emperor.
As soon as the emperor ascends the throne, he must reward the nanny.
According to the Ming Dynasty's practice, the emperor's wet nurse was the most noble royal wife.
'Mrs. the Saint, the Lady of the Guard, the Lady of the Saint, the Lady of the Saint...'
The title must be one of them, not only does it sound nice, but it is actually more decent than an ordinary princess.
Others don't know it, but Zhu Qiyu himself knows it. Tianqi's nanny, who was a guest of the Holy Lady, was the pinnacle of the Ming Emperor's nannies.
The Queen of Apocalypse, Zhang Yan, was not favored, so she took over the power of the harem as a guest of the Holy Lady Yinyue. Even when she went out, she had to pave the road with loess and splash clean water on the street. Attendants in brocade robes, cheering from the front and supporting from the back.
Regardless of her appearance or real power, the Hakka family is even more beautiful than the queen, let alone the ordinary princess.
However, Zhu Qiyu didn't think there was anything wrong with this. The queen may not be more reliable than the wet nurse.
For example, the legendary queen Zhang Yan, from Zhu Qiyu's own point of view, feels that there is something wrong.
First of all, Zhang Yan has a great interest in political interference. This is a clear fact.
No matter how much Tianqi tried to persuade him, he could not persuade Zhang Yan, so the emperor and the empress did not get along. Tianqi would rather hand over the power of the harem to his wet nurse than let the queen perform her duties.
Meeting a queen who wants to get involved in politics is really a headache.
Zhu Qiyu felt that the ideal queen was a woman who understood government affairs but had no desire for power.
If she understands government affairs, once something happens to the emperor, during the power transfer stage, the queen can stabilize the situation and protect the new emperor.
There was no desire for power. When the emperor could exercise power normally, the queen concentrated on handling the affairs of the harem.
Such a woman who knows how to advance and retreat and knows how to measure is the perfect candidate for queen.
