As soon as Zhu Qiyu left, Huang Pu and He Yi quickly followed.
Qingyun Pavilion is only used for monarchs and ministers to discuss politics, and will be used when Zhu Qiyu meets with ministers. Usually Huang Pu and others only handle government affairs in Fengge and Luantai Hall.
Running fast and running slowly is also an attitude of standing in line.
Zhu Qiyu returned home, and Huang Pu and He Yi went to Fengge.
Then Wang Wen and He Wenyuan turned around and left.
Then there are Luo Tong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Jiang Yuan, the left minister of the Ministry of War. So far, among the six ministries in Beijing, Zhu Qiyu has the most complete control over the Ministry of War. Basically, from the minister to the minister, and then to the doctor, they are all Zhu Qiyu's cronies.
The six fastest runners were those who were determined to follow Zhu Qiyu.
The remaining people's stance is relatively more neutral. However, these people were also divided into several small groups.
Chen Xun, Yu Shiyue, and Zhou Chen gathered together; Wang Ji, Shi Pu, Jin Lian and others formed a team; Yu Qian and Xu Qi, two ministers of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, stood together.
As the Minister of Rites, Yu Shiyue was really involved and was responsible for the specific work. So as soon as the emperor left, he hurriedly asked Chen Xun:
"Mr. Chen, there are so many people in Nangong, do you really want to kill them all? This is the third time in the inner court that everyone has been killed with a stick."
Chen Xun spread his hands helplessly: "Then what can we do? Logically speaking, all the palace servants in the inner court are the emperor's slaves, and we can't control whether they live or die.
When we go to Nangong to pay our respects later, we can just inform the Empress Dowager and Emperor Gongrang. As for how to deal with it specifically, it is not something we should worry about. "
"Then the imperial doctor is selected by our cabinet and the Ministry of Rites together. What regulations do you think should be followed?"
Chen Xun heard this and seriously told him: "You must choose this carefully, and you must find a famous doctor with excellent reputation and both ability and political integrity to serve as the imperial physician.
Otherwise, if the problem arises from the imperial doctor in the future, one of us will be counted as one, and no one will be able to escape. "
Yu Shiyue scratched his head when he heard this. The power of the Minister of Rites was not very prominent, but the pressure was really great.
Moreover, another minister of the Ministry of Rites, Hu Hui, unfortunately died, and now there was no one to share the blame.
Xu Qi on the side complained to Yu Qian: "We at the Nanjing Military Department have a lot of things to do. I still have a lot to say. Why did your Majesty just leave like this?"
Yu Qian smiled bitterly and said: "Let's go back and come back when the emperor is in a better mood. I am the governor of Huguang, Henan and Sichuan provinces, and your majesty has not yet announced which troops and horses he will transfer to me.
And do you want to set up the mountain camp that His Majesty mentioned before? To quell the Miao rebellion, we need troops who are good at mountain warfare.
Sichuan's army, especially the native soldiers of the Xuanfu Division, are extremely good at mountain warfare. There is no word yet on whether His Majesty will allow the recruitment of Sichuan chieftain soldiers or how much. "
Wang Ji heard from the sidelines and said to Shi Pu and Jin Lian in a cold tone: "The troops from the Beijing camp in the north can no longer be recruited. We are quelling the civil uprising in the southeast and conquering Luchuan in the southwest. Within two years, The soldiers in the Beijing camp need to rest and recuperate and cannot fight anymore."
Wang Ji said this to Yu Qian, but the relationship between the two was extremely tense, so Wang Ji just said it to Shi Pu and Jin Lian to ensure that Yu Qian could hear it.
Shi Pu and Jin Lian nodded, while Yu Qian and Xu Qi remained silent.
It is obvious that the important ministers in the DPRK are not united now. In the future, it will be even less possible to urinate into a pot.
This is more in line with Zhu Qiyu's expectations. If all the important officials in the imperial court are really tied together, then it will not be easy for him to be the emperor.
After returning home, Zhu Qiyu lay down on the bed again, covered his head and sighed.
Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "Did your husband quarrel with the ministers? Why did you come back after only half an hour?"
"Huh, the illness of Emperor Gongrang and the two princes has worsened again. Look at the looks the ministers looked at me. They had to set up a private court and order me to plead guilty on the spot.
There was also the Empress Dowager, who arrogantly demanded that all the palace servants, guards, as well as the imperial doctors and chefs in Nangong be replaced.
I got angry and directly agreed to order Xing'an to kill all the people in Nangong Palace. Then Xing'an and Ma Liang were ordered to be responsible for changing all the palace servants and guards, and reported them to the Empress Dowager for approval. "
When Lin Xiangyu heard this, she immediately became anxious: "The sixteen concubines that Sister Zhou sent to Emperor Gongrang, won't they be among those who will be killed with a stick, right?"
Zhu Qiyu asked: "Do the sixteen of them have the official status of concubines now?"
Lin Xiangyu shook her head.
"Well, if it's not a concubine, it's a palace servant, and naturally it will be killed with a stick."
Lin Xiangyu hurriedly shook Zhu Qiyu: "That's not possible. Those sixteen people were sent to monitor Emperor Gong Rang, especially a girl named Ling'er among them. She was selected from thousands of slaves and carefully trained. You What's the point of being killed with a stick as soon as you come up?"
Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand, pinched Lin Xiangyu's fair and rosy little face, smiled and teased: "Are you a girl who is stupid when you give birth to a child? This is called a bitter meat trick.
Do you understand the thirty-six strategies? The thirty-fourth strategy is the bitter meat strategy. "
Lin Xiangyu frowned slightly, tilted her head slightly and figured it out: "Oh, I see. My husband is so clever and clever, why didn't I think of it?"
"Um?"
Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "Concubine, concubine, I'm going to make arrangements for my husband right now. I have to tell Wang Cheng and Shu Liang not to let my husband's clever plan slip away."
"Hey, actually this is very boring. Let's play around with Sun and my eldest brother, and think of it as revenge for our mother."
…
However, he said that the important ministers of the cabinet hurried back to the city, and hurriedly went to Nangong to pay their respects, and at the same time reported the emperor's decree to the Empress Dowager, Empress Qian and Empress Zhou.
After hearing the reports from the ministers, Mrs. Sun nodded repeatedly and was very satisfied.
Chen Xun and others also breathed a sigh of relief. They were scolded by the Empress Dowager quite a lot yesterday.
This time, the Queen Mother took advantage of the situation and vented all the anger she had accumulated for a long time. The ministers were scolded bloody.
Chen Xun and others had no way to refute, so they could only listen. Seeing that the Queen Mother was now satisfied, everyone hurriedly left after saying hello.
Empress Dowager Sun didn't care about the lives of the people in the palace. Since the emperor ordered them all to be killed with a stick, it was just right.
These incompetent servants should have been beaten to death long ago. The Queen Mother and the Emperor reached a rare agreement.
And the most important thing is that the emperor wanted to kill all the people in Nangong without even blinking an eye. Does this mean that the emperor really didn't put eyes and ears in Nangong?
Later, the task of re-selecting the palace servants was also handed over to Xing'an, and finally he, the empress dowager, had to approve it. It seemed that the emperor really had no intention of intervening in Nangong affairs?
From now on, Nangong will be ruled by the Empress Dowager, Emperor Gongrang, Empress Qian, and Empress Zhou?
Empress Dowager Sun shook her head gently: No, the Zhou family must be kicked out. This woman has shown signs of using any means to obtain the status of the principal wife. It is too dangerous to keep her by her side any longer.
In the evening, Wang Cheng and Shu Liang took the Jin Yiwei to the gate of Nangong Palace to wait for the order and asked the Queen Mother whether to execute the cane punishment immediately.
