Zhu Qiyu and his beloved concubines looked at each other and sighed for a long time, then leaned on the backrest: "Forget it, I'm too tired and my heart is tired, I'd better lie down and listen."
Su Xi picked up a memorial and read it, then asked: "The Ministry of Rites requested to arrange for the prince to go out to study?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled when he heard this and said, "Read it. If you like it, read it."
"Then the Ministry of Etiquette asked for instructions on who should be arranged to accompany the reading?"
Zhu Qiyu replied without thinking: "Liu Dingzhi."
"Liu Dingzhi?"
"Well, Liu Dingzhi, a native of Yongxin, Jiangxi Province, the third most beautiful girl in the first year of orthodoxy, and the current leader of the literary world. Let him teach the prince, and all the officials have nothing to say.
But I don't like this person. Just after the Tumu Fort Incident, this guy wrote a letter to express his opinions. He wrote thousands of words, empty words and empty words. It was really like listening to what you said.
I was annoyed by him and asked him to go home and hold the baby. It wasn't until he reflected and understood that he was allowed to come back.
I wouldn't reuse this kind of person anyway, so asking him to teach the prince how to be a saint would be the best use of his resources. "
"My husband is so right. Why did he write those thousands of words just to show off that he is the only one who has read a book? My husband's energy is so precious, how can I spend endless time with people like them?"
"Keep reading."
"The cabinet and the Ministry of Rites jointly request to have a banquet for the vassal king at Fengtianmen on the first day of July."
"That's right. It seems that July 1st is the day of the mutiny. We have finally waited for this day.
Today is June 22nd, there are still eight or nine days left.
Are our troops in the city ready? "
Su Xi nodded affirmatively: "The six thousand Tiance Guards will retreat to Long Live Mountain after the rebels enter the imperial city.
Several uncles will lead the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division and the Zhongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division to retreat to our old palace. In addition, there were a thousand left-behind guards from the old palace.
The day before the banquet, the husband's chariot enters the city, accompanied by 10,000 personal guards, and moves into the palace.
Two months ago, Fengtian Dusi transferred 5,000 military guards into the city in the name of preparation. In addition to the 5,000 personal guards stationed at Fengtian Dusi, the total is 10,000. There are hundreds of servants in the Wudinghou Mansion next door.
Once the coup is launched, Fengtian Dusi will send 6,000 people to take over the nearby Chaoyang Gate.
Therefore, we have a total of 30,000 people in the city, most of whom are heavily armored elites. It is not a big problem to kill more than 10,000 rabble. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "The winning side for Emperor Gongrang is that I am really seriously ill, and the rebels can surprise me, quickly occupy the palace, seize the Queen Mother, the cabinet, the jade seal, and the military symbols, and then declare the official restoration.
When the situation is determined, I will surrender without a fight.
How are the military arrangements outside the city going? "
"The 10,000 Beijing troops transferred back from Datong, plus the 5,000 Beijing troops transferred back from Nanjing, total 15,000 people, led by Shi Heng, Sun Boring, Ren Li, Liu Yongcheng, Mao Zhong, and Cao Jixiang.
They are stationed in Tongzhou and should arrive outside Chaoyang Gate at noon on July 1st.
Our 20,000 Yan Guards and 10,000 Shenji battalions stationed in Miyun arrived outside Chaoyang Gate two hours later than them.
On the morning of July 2, when An Guogong led a battalion of 30,000 knights to appear outside Chaoyang Gate, the outcome of the mutiny was completely decided. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "This is a good arrangement. Concentrating all the troops in the direction of Dongcheng can catch us by surprise.
Emperor Gongrang would definitely think that even if we could counterattack, we would only transfer the Yingzhou guards from the western suburbs to the capital from the direction of Xicheng.
But we just went in the opposite direction and gave them a big surprise. "
Qianxue smiled and said: "Husband, don't be too busy to be happy. You said it yourself, the sound of a gunshot is worth a thousand taels of gold.
After this counterinsurgency is over, we will spend a lot of money.
Tao Jin, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, said that this time my husband would not only have to promote the family to a marquis, but also give him a princess. "
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "I can't bear to let my children trap the wolf, give them all, give them all. In order for your sons to live comfortably in the future, I can only sell all your sons."
Qianxue replied with a smile: "We sisters have discussed it. The beautiful girls selected by the Ministry of Etiquette have been in Beijing for several days. We want to entertain them at a banquet, which can be regarded as fulfilling the friendship of the landlord.
If they want to come, they can come. If they don't want to, forget it.
We do our best and obey destiny. The way to survive has been given to them again. If they insist on staying in the city and seeking death, we will not be able to blame them. "
Zhu Qiyu replied impatiently: "You have the final say on this kind of thing. You don't have to tell me, and I don't want to know. Where do the show girls live now, and who is managing them?"
"In the ceremonial room, separated by a wall from our old prince's palace, Mrs. Zuosheng, Mrs. Li, is in charge."
Zhu Qiyu ordered: "Isn't the Xiang who is beside the mother-in-law always staying in the old prince's palace? Let's make her Mrs. Rongshan and be responsible for managing the beautiful girls together."
"ah?"
The four beloved concubines were a little surprised when they heard this. Isn't this asking someone to die?
Zhu Qiyu explained: "The two personal maids that the mother-in-law brought out from the palace, Zhou is a loyal servant, so she also gave her a royal decree, and Jin named her Mrs. Anhe.
As for Mrs. Xiang, she was an undercover agent placed by the Empress Dowager Sun next to her mother and concubine, so I was always on guard against her and let her stay in the old palace to look after the house. If she followed us to the western suburbs, do you think these little enemies in your sisters' bellies can live peacefully until now?
Take this opportunity to give her some dignity and send her on her way.
From now on, in the Changle Palace of the mother-in-law, except An and Mrs. Zhou, the rest will use the little girls we bought from North Korea. "
Several favored concubines nodded. It seemed that many people were going to be eliminated by taking this opportunity.
…
June 23, noon.
Zhu Qizhen was eating while listening to Ruan Lang's report on government affairs.
Now that Cao Jixiang has gone to Tongzhou Jingying to supervise the army, Xing'an is left out, so now Chen Xiang and Ruan Lang take turns reporting on government affairs.
Hearing that his younger brother agreed to the prince's study abroad, Zhu Qizhen was very surprised: "My younger brother is doing more and more strange things, and he agreed so easily?
Does he know what it means for the prince to leave the court to study? Then it will be difficult to shake the prince's status from now on.
If he were a normal person, he should have taken advantage of the fact that the prince was young and abolished it as soon as possible. "
Ruan Lang replied: "Your Majesty, I heard that the prince likes Princess Qi very much, and Princess Qi also likes the prince very much. If the emperor is really unable to handle affairs now, and the princess does it for him, then it makes sense."
Zhu Qizhen also scratched his head when he heard this. In the past two months, all kinds of news, true or false, have been repeated, which has completely made people's heads as big as a bucket.
The imperial bureau only passed the analysis and could no longer understand it, so Zhu Qizhen asked: "I ordered Chen Xiang to summon my colleagues for an audience yesterday. Is he here now?"
"Here we are, waiting outside the palace."
"Okay, after handling the government affairs, I will receive him."
Ruan Lang continued: "The emperor accepted Ding Xiangbo's begging for retirement and ordered Shi Biao to take over as the general of the Datong army. He also promoted Ding Xiangbo's son Guo Song to the rank of Jin Yiwei Qianhu, and stayed at Nangong.
At the same time, the emperor also ordered Xiang Bo to hand over to Shi Biao immediately and then go to Beijing to report on his duties. "
"That's just right. I originally wanted to summon Uncle Xiang to Beijing to inquire about the mystery of his life experience."
Ruan Lang replied: "The report from the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites has been approved. The emperor and the emperor jointly hosted a banquet for the vassal prince at Fengtianmen on the first day of July."
"Brother said he wanted to participate in person?"
"Yes, the emperor did approve it like this."
Zhu Qizhen put his hands on his hands and laughed and said: "That's good, there are still nine days left, we can make final preparations.
If the younger brother enters the city, we will launch a mutiny; if the younger brother does not enter the city, that would be better, so as not to have to deal with his bodyguards.
Anyway, as long as we control the capital, the overall situation can be decided.
With the current resentment towards him from both the government and the public, the Empress Dowager abolished the emperor's decree, the cabinet drafted the edict, and stamped it with the jade seal, and everything was over.
Then, only two young eunuchs can send the younger brother to the west. "
Zhu Qizhen took a sip of tea and said to himself: "Hey, what kind of posthumous name should I give my brother? Or call him Rui.
King Xieru is quite appropriate.
Just like my younger brother, he is just the scoundrel of a palace girl. He still wants to be the noble King of Qi. What kind of dream can he have?
He should just be the lowest among all the princes, King Xi, and I will restore Wang's title as Princess Xi and bury the two of them together.
As for his beloved concubines, I am particularly gracious and there is no need to bury them. Just tell them from the story of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. "
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Ruan Lang only flattered and didn't care about anything else.
Ruan Lang is just a lonely old eunuch from Jiaozhi. He has no children and doesn't care much.
Zhu Qizhen also asked: "Don't reveal any rumors to the civil servants, especially the Ministry of Rites, let them fend for themselves.
Comrades are responsible for liaison with nobles.
A blind old fortune teller, no one will pay attention to him.
The younger brother never dreamed that the restoration would be successful through the hands of a blind man. "
