Zhu Qiyu met the gazes of the four people and chuckled: "I am serious."
The four of them were silent. They could obviously tell, but they just didn't understand why he was like this.
Even Li Qing didn't understand: He had obviously been told that Zhu Qizhen would never come back, so why was he doing this?
Zhu Qiyu said: "The Supreme Emperor will come back eventually, it's just a matter of time. As the former emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how can he stay on the grassland all his life?"
Yu Qian and the others nodded lightly. To be fair, they didn't want Zhu Qizhen to stay on the grassland.
As Zhu Qiyu said, that was the emperor of Ming Dynasty!
"Your Majesty, have you thought about it?" Li Qing asked in a deep voice.
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Some people always want to use the Emperor to force me to compromise. If the Emperor doesn't come back for a day, they will take advantage of it to cause trouble.
I don’t want the government to be at war with itself. This is not a healthy government situation. "
Zhu Qiyu's idea is very simple: If you bring back the Emperor to force me, then I will bring him back. What else can you do?
Is it possible to openly depose the emperor?
Li Qing looked at him directly and said, "Your Majesty is back, and your situation will only become more embarrassing."
"Do your dear friends support me or the Supreme Emperor?" Zhu Qiyu asked directly.
The four of them cupped their hands and said, "Of course it's the Emperor."
"That's it." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile, "Actually, it doesn't matter if he comes back. He is my eldest brother. How can I be so hard-hearted? I will have someone clean up Nangong someday so that the Supreme Emperor will have a place to live when he comes back."
"When the Emperor comes back, there will definitely be people who are half-hearted," Li Qing said, "Your Majesty, please think twice."
Wang Zhi and Hu Xi glanced at Li Qing, frowned slightly, and felt unhappy.
This is related to the face of the court. They have experienced several dynasties and have deep feelings for the Ming Dynasty. They do not want to see the former emperor of the Ming Dynasty living in the grasslands and suffering all kinds of suffering.
"I disagree with what Li Dugui said in the matter." Wang Zhi snorted coldly, "If the Ming Dynasty cannot welcome the Supreme Emperor back, how will the imperial court lose its face?
Nowadays, rumors are spreading among the people. If the Emperor is not welcomed back, how will the Emperor handle himself? "
"Not bad." Hu Hui agreed, and at the same time glared at Li Qing in displeasure.
Li Qing was too lazy to argue with the two stubborn men and looked at Yu Qian, "What do you think of Yu Shangshu?"
Yu Qian lowered his eyelids and did not look at Li Qing, "I think we should welcome the Supreme Emperor back."
"..." Li Qing wiped his hands and put down the orange petal, "Your Majesty, I forgive you for being brave. When the Supreme Emperor comes back, do you want to return the throne?"
Zhu Qiyu paused for a moment and said dejectedly: "I have thought about this. If he still wants to be emperor, let him do it."
Li Qing nodded and looked at Hu Hui, Wang Zhi, and Yu Qian.
"You think so too?"
Hu Hu said: "The emperor's throne has been determined, and the great emperor will not do that."
"Yes, all the officials support the emperor." Wang Zhi agreed, stroking his beard.
Yu Qian opened his mouth and finally chose to remain silent.
"Haha." Li Qing sneered: "You three ministers seem to account for half of the power of the court, but in fact you are very small. Not to mention the cabinet, the Imperial Academy, the Hanlin Academy, and the Taichang Temple... just talk about the six departments. Right." ΟиЪ.ōΓＧ
Li Qing said in a playful tone: "Actually, you can't control your bosses, Yuanwailang, and most of the officials in Dugeshizhong. When there was a big commotion some time ago, there were many officials from the Li, Li, and Bing yamen;
Do you support it?
Do you support having a hairy use? "
"You..." Hu Xi was over seventy years old and had never been treated like this before. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. If he hadn't been in front of the emperor, he would have lost his temper. "I have been an official for decades, how can I still..." A young man like you doesn’t know as much as you?”
Li Qing curled his lips: "Since you understand, how can you break it?"
"I..." Hu Hu stopped awkwardly and hummed: "Don't think others are so dirty. After all, there are many good officials."
Wang Zhi nodded slightly: "It is true that some officials in the court are not qualified for their duties, but there are also many who are loyal to the country. Besides, the Supreme Emperor may not be able to return to being the emperor as you said."
After a pause, "Now that the court situation is clear and clear, the Beijing camp is controlled by Yang Hong and Shi Heng, and the emperor holds military power, how can the Supreme Emperor not know how to advance or retreat?"
Li Qing sneered: "The official department left Jian Yi, but came back to be Jian Yi. They are all good at He Xi Ni. I am really convinced."
However, the second half of Wang Zhi's sentence is the truth. Now the Beijing camp is indeed taking orders from Zhu Qiyu.
But this is not important at all. Back then, Zhu Yunwen had an army of nearly one million people, and he was not defeated by Zhu Di.
Of course, Zhu Qizhen is far inferior to Zhu Di, but Zhu Qizhen has Zhu Qizhen's advantages.
In terms of status and legitimacy as emperor, King Zhu Di of Yan was far inferior to the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen.
What's more important is that Zhu Qizhen is right under his nose. He only needs to break into the palace with a small number of soldiers to turn the tide.
Li Qing knew that Zhu Qizhen had been emperor twice in history, and he felt uneasy.
He changed part of history, but not completely. Many major events in history happened.
Li Qing was really afraid that history would repeat itself.
It is true that Zhu Qizhen has no intention of becoming emperor now, but after Bao Buqi comes back and is contacted and bewitched by interested people, he will change his mind.
With the Empress Dowager Sun in the harem, the prince in the east palace, and half-hearted ministers, what can Zhu Qiyu do?
After this battle, the generals became more energetic, and the nobles also injected new blood. Seeing that the situation was improving, Li Qing did not accept it, nor did he allow history to repeat itself.
Li Qing knew Zhu Qizhen well. It would be better if he did not become emperor, but in the event of restoration, none of Yu Qian, Yang Hong, and Shi Heng would be able to escape.
"I don't agree!" Li Qing said loudly and firmly.
This time, he was more determined than ever. He had to go against the so-called historical trend!
No one can stop it!
"You?" Hu Xi sneered, "It seems that it's not your turn to have any say in the matter of national affairs, right?"
Li Qing laughed, ignored Hu Hui, picked up the leftover oranges, and ate them with relish.
Any conspiracy will be vulnerable to absolute strength!
Li Qing is not facing thousands of troops, but only Zhu Qizhen. As long as he can hold Zhu Qizhen, everything will be fine.
There's no need to argue, it's okay.
Others can be compromised, but this is the bottom line. There will be no more people in the Ming Dynasty who will be emperor twice!
If Zhu Qizhen is restored again, then I, a time traveler, will not have to live anymore, I will be killed by a collision... Li Qing secretly sneered, and showed off his orange head.
Zhu Qiyu smoothed things over and said, "Why are we still arguing after we have dinner? Come on, let's drink."
Hu Bi and Wang Zhi suppressed their emotions and raised their glasses: "I respect your Majesty."
~
"gentlemen…"
After leaving the palace, Yu Qian called Li Qing and wanted to explain.
But Li Qing ignored him, mounted his donkey and went straight back to Lianjia Village.
Yu Qian smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly.
…
In the blink of an eye, it’s almost the New Year’s Eve again.
It is an old tradition for the court to calm down temporarily and not to cause trouble during the New Year. People in this era attach great importance to the New Year.
Moreover, the period before and after the Chinese New Year is a period of severe crackdowns, which makes the emperor uncomfortable and the punishments are often severe.
Everyone wants to have a good year!
Li Qing also wanted to have a good year, so he asked Zhu Qiyu for leave.
Zhu Qiyu was speechless: "Sir, didn't you say that you would always help me in the capital?"
"That was based on not letting the Supreme Emperor come back, but now that the Emperor has changed his mind, it doesn't matter if I'm here or not." Li Qing said, "Furthermore, the ministers have asked us to welcome the Supreme Emperor back. It will also be after the Lantern Festival, and I will be back by then. "
"...You don't usually go to court, so why are you asking for leave?" Zhu Qiyu said helplessly, "You are not an official like you?"
"I was like this during the Taizong Dynasty. If you don't believe me, you can check it out. There are traces to follow." Li Qing said.
Zhu Qiyu was completely speechless: "Okay, today is the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. You must come back after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The annual leave of more than a month is already very long."
"No problem." Li Qing nodded and asked: "Your Majesty, do you really plan to let the Supreme Emperor come back?"
"It's not that I don't think about it, but... I can't stop it." Zhu Qiyu sighed leisurely: "How can I let him wander around on the grassland for the rest of his life?"
"What are you going to do if...he comes back?" Li Qing asked.
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Didn't I say before that I would invite him to stay in Nangong?"
"It's that simple?"
Zhu Qiyu was silent for a moment, his smile faded, and he said quietly: "I will not let my ministers contact the Supreme Emperor in private."
Li Qing nodded: This is reasonable.
In the end, he still didn't tell the fact that Zhu Qizhen was back.
It would be better for everyone to keep it secret like this. Zhu Qiyu can be the emperor with peace of mind, and Zhu Qizhen will not be imprisoned in Nangong.
After all... Zhu Qiyu is still too soft-hearted. Imprisoning the Supreme Emperor sounds cruel and ruthless, but in fact it is very good.
In this position, how many people are as good as Zhu Qiyu?
At least if it were Zhu Qizhen, let alone welcoming him back, his confidants would definitely be killed on the way, and the corpse would never come back.
Li Qing glanced at Zhu Qiyu again and said in his heart: You can be your emperor with peace of mind. This time, your tragedy will not happen again;
There shouldn’t be only the Ming Tombs here!
