When all those who should kneel had knelt down, and those who had not knelt would no longer change their minds, Zhu Qiyu replied loudly: "The crown prince is the foundation of the country, how can he be deposed so easily.
All major affairs in the court must be conducted in accordance with the law. The prince has no fault, so how can he act randomly.
Your Majesty does not agree to your request. There is no need to discuss this matter again in the future. "
The King of Qin gave words of advice: "After the death of Song Taizu, his brothers succeeded him. Song Taizong succeeded him and passed the throne to his descendants. I believe that the emperor should follow Song Taizong's story to stabilize the country."
Zhu Qiyu shook his head firmly: "The Zhao family brought trouble to the world, and it is not enough to enforce the law."
After hearing this, King Lu immediately advised: "Emperor Cheng of Jin passed away, and his son was still young, so the same thing happened between brothers, and Emperor Kang of Jin succeeded him.
Emperor Kang of the Jin Dynasty established his son Sima Dan as the crown prince, and Sima Dan succeeded him as Emperor Mu of the Jin Dynasty.
I think that the story of Emperor Kangxi of Jin Dynasty can be used as an example. "
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he shook his head more firmly: "The Sima family betrayed the alliance, killed the king, and indulged in chaos in China. He was not the emperor of the Han family, but a tyrant.
I am ashamed to mention it, let alone imitate it.
My mind has been decided, please don't say anything more.
Okay, I'm tired, let's stop here today and let the court go. "
Everyone had no choice but to salute, stand up and exit.
Zhu Qiyu turned around and asked, "Concubine, are you going home with us, or are you staying in the city?"
Concubine Wu smiled and said: "I'll stay in the city for a few more days. There was too much commotion on the day of the mutiny, and our old palace was burned down a lot.
You will definitely be reluctant to let your beloved concubines stay and deal with it. So what can I do, I can only bite the bullet and go for it. "
Hearing this, Ningxiang quickly apologized: "It's all because of the unfilial piety of the daughter-in-law. Please punish the mother-in-law."
Concubine Wu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I was just joking. I don't ask for anything else. You can take good care of Qi Yu, which is the greatest filial piety to me.
But having said that, Qi Yu loves you so much, and you were pampered for several months at the beginning of the year. Why is there still no movement in your stomach? "
Ningxiang's face turned red when she was told that, Zhu Qiyu came to the rescue for the beauty: "Mother, I don't want Ningxiang to be born so early, and Qianxue and Suxi.
They don't really want to have children themselves, so let them have it. "
Concubine Wu nodded: "If you don't have a baby, you won't have a baby. Just leave it to you, the young couple. I'll see off the eldest princess of Yongjia and Prince Min. You can go home."
Concubine Wu originally had a calm temperament and was informal. In addition, twelve beloved concubines had already been pregnant and she had given birth to two princes one after another. Ten more children would be born in the rest of this year.
Therefore, there are three beloved concubines who are not in a hurry to have children, and Concubine Wu does not care.
Even Mrs. Wu hopes to have fewer children. If she continues to have children this year, she won't be able to support her for ten to eight years.
If you can't afford to raise them, then it's second. If you have so many children that you can't even recognize them all, that would be embarrassing.
Zhu Qiyu supported Mrs. Wu and prepared to walk down the steps. However, Ningxiang still sat on the dragon chair and did not move. Instead, she shyly called out in a low voice: "Husband."
Zhu Qiyu and Wu Taifei both turned back curiously.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu teased: "What's wrong, my beloved concubine? She's addicted to being a queen and won't get up."
Ningxiang's face turned red as if she was about to bleed. She lowered her head and muttered in a low voice, but no one could hear what she was saying.
Although Mrs. Wu didn't know the inside story, she also knew that the young couple was engaging in some evil deeds. She immediately ordered Ningxiang with a smile:
"Okay, you young couple can talk about your feelings, and I, the old woman, won't be an eyesore here.
But you are young and don’t know the importance of things, so you should be more restrained and don’t hurt your body. "
When Ningxiang heard this, she covered her face and turned away, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to burrow into.
Concubine Wu walked down the steps to chat with her clan relatives.
Zhu Qiyu took Ningxiang, Qianxue, and Suxi back to the chariot, and returned to Prince Qi's Mansion under the protection of his own army.
Before getting on the carriage, Zhu Qiyu told Liu Chang: "For safety, let's go through Deshengmen and go back around the path. The princesses also want to enjoy the pastoral scenery."
Liu Chang felt a little confused, but he still followed the order and directed his guards to go through Deshengmen.
The chariot started slowly, and Zhu Qiyu leaned on the couch: "Oh, I'm so exhausted. Talking to these ministers is more tiring than fighting.
…
Early the next morning, as soon as Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes, he saw a large number of memorials piled on the bedside.
Zhu Qiyu was anxious: "Hurry up and let my sons grow up. I really don't want to be the emperor anymore. If I don't sleep, I will suffer this big crime every day."
Qianxue smiled and said: "Husband, please don't be nervous. Even though there are many memorials, there are actually only a few things. First, Chen Xun, the Minister of Rites, said that most of the officials in the Ministry of Rites died in the mutiny. I hope that your husband can quickly fill these positions." together.
This large pile of memorials are recommendation letters from officials of third rank and above in Beijing.
Nowadays, the imperial court still implements the recommendation system, but before Wei Lao Shangshu requested to resume the recommendation system, the courtiers had already discussed it.
Now I am taking advantage of the by-election of officials from the Ministry of Rites to test my husband's feelings. "
Zhu Qiyu covered his face and lamented: "These officials have such a good mentality. They got into the mood immediately after the mutiny was dealt with.
These old guys are so energetic, why don’t we take a break for a few days? "
Qianxue smiled and said: "Although they are old, they don't need the four ladies of the night palace like their husbands. My husband was as useful as he was yesterday and last night, and he is still energetic and radiant today. He is truly gifted."
After receiving the compliment, Zhu Qiyu stopped complaining and sat up and replied: "These vacancies in the Ministry of Rites will be handed over to He Wenyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, to preside over the selection, and Wang Wen, the censor of Zuodu, will be responsible for leading the Supervisory Office to supervise."
Qianxue nodded and continued to ask: "King Li Jun of Annan sent his accompanying minister Cheng Zhen to pay tribute to the court, paying tribute such as gold and silver utensils. The Ministry of Rites asked my husband what to do with it?"
Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Annan's envoys? When did they come?"
"When I arrived in Beijing in early June, Yu Shiyue and Zou Qian, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, and Shang Ren, Peng Shi, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, and others jointly suppressed the news that the Annan State delegation had arrived in Beijing.
Now that the mutiny was over and all the senior officials in the Ministry of Rites were dead, the news was reported. "
Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "Let the envoy come over sometime, and I will see him in person."
Su Xi smiled and said: "I heard that Annan's envoy witnessed the whole process of the mutiny in the capital and was frightened. Moreover, he also went to see Lingchi Shiheng outside the Meridian Gate."
"Hey, if the Annan Kingdom is willing to surrender, it's not impossible for me to make Li Jun the prince. If we can take back Jiaozhi without any bloodshed, that would be the best."
"Is it okay to make an appointment tomorrow?"
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "I will see King Su tomorrow first, and the Annan envoy the day after tomorrow."
Qianxue asked again: "The nianfu summoned by my husband has already arrived in Beijing. When will I be summoned by my husband?"
Hearing Nian Fu's name, Zhu Qiyu finally showed joy on his face: "He's finally here. I'll see him the day after tomorrow. I want to host a family dinner, and you will all come then.
I will use my rich years to governor Zhejiang and Fujian, build sea ships, build naval forces, suppress Japanese pirates, and sail to the Western Ocean, creating a prosperous era for the Ming Dynasty.
In the future, we will also have names and surnames in the emperor's temple. "
