Although Zhu Qizhen said this, he still didn't have the courage to walk over in a big way.
Over the years of "bearing the burden" in Mongolia, Zhu Qizhen's impatience has changed, and he is not as arrogant and brainless as before.
Although he said that he was the man of destiny and the proud son of heaven, the defeat of Tumu, the humiliation of Mongolia, and the difficulty of returning to his homeland all told Zhu Qizhen that he was not the true emperor, he was just an ordinary person. .
Daming is the same with or without him. It seems that it runs better without him.
The two young eunuchs were also aware of current affairs and had always advised Zhu Qizhen not to take risks.
After Zhu Qizhen was angry for a while, he went down the slope. For the sake of the country and the country, he could not risk his own life.
As mentioned before, the reason why the emperor is an emperor is because he is surrounded by troops and officials. One side controls the whole country, and the other side exercises the power of governance.
Without these two things, the emperor would no longer be an emperor.
And Zhu Qizhen, the supreme emperor, ruined the entire army and was captured by the Mongols. His reputation in the Ming Dynasty was almost completely ruined. If he met a hot-headed censor, Zhu Qizhen was secretly placed under house arrest, or even more cruel. One kill in the countryside.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen no longer had any thoughts of taking risks.
Zhu Qizhen knew that there were guards at Zijin Pass, and there must be guards at Juyong Pass. The interrogation would definitely not last long, and he should endure it. He had endured it for six years, and it was not less than this moment.
After Zhu Qizhen had the idea, he wanted to find a place to stay.
But his portraits were flying all over the place, and he couldn't stay in a farmhouse, let alone go out in public. Zhu Qizhen had no choice but to hide in the mountains and forests and live like a savage.
Worse than life in Mongolia.
In the palace.
The Empress Dowager personally visited the Yingwu Hall and summoned the ministers.
The courtiers entered the palace in pairs.
Yu Qian, the Taibao, and Li Xian, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.
Liu Dingzhi, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, was the authentic number one scholar. During the Zhengtong Dynasty, he wrote ten policies for governing the country, but was refuted by Wang Zhen. After Zhu Jianshen came to the throne, Liu Dingzhi was fished out and became the minister of the Ministry of Rites. This was also prepared for the Minister of Rites. Candidate.
Yang Shan, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, in real history, was the one who brought Zhu Qizhen back without spending a single soldier, but now Yang Shan does not want Zhu Qizhen to come back.
The minister of the Ministry of official affairs is rich in years.
Xu Youzhen, deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Zhu Shou, the commander-in-chief of the Central Army of Chengguo Gong.
Chen Ying, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army in Taining.
Shi Heng, the former deputy commander of the army, was the Marquis of Wuyang.
Prince Consort Jingyuan.
Zhu Ji, the commander of Jinyiwei.
The conductor also knew Liu Yu.
…………
Even some semi-retired veterans came spontaneously.
There were more than forty ministers lined up in the Yingwu Hall.
Empress Dowager Sun was in the back hall, listening to Zhang Bao's report.
She had a sad look on her face.
For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and for the sake of the little emperor, the Empress Dowager Sun was prepared not to see her son for the rest of her life. Year by year, the little emperor gradually grew up, the situation in the court gradually stabilized, and the world was managed by wise ministers. Everything was in order. At this time, the Supreme Emperor sneaked back.
All this tranquility will be disrupted.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty really said that."
"The Empress Dowager, how dare I lie to the Empress Dowager? Your Majesty told the slave that if the Emperor comes back, he will return the throne. He also said..." Zhang Bao lowered his head and cried.
"What else did your Majesty say?"
"I dare not." Zhang Bao said and knelt down.
Empress Dowager Sun sighed and said, "I forgive you, just tell me."
"His Majesty also said that after my father comes back and ascends the throne, will he kill him as the history books say?"
"What, he dares." After hearing this, Empress Dowager Sun suddenly stood up.
"Your Majesty, tell all the officials in the court that even if he serves the Son of Man with pure filial piety, even if the Supreme Emperor kills him, he will have no regrets and no regrets, so that the ministers do not need to worry about him."
"He is the emperor. When I hold him and sit on the dragon chair in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to accept the worship of hundreds of officials, he is already the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It is good to have filial piety towards my father and elders, but an emperor should not have These things." When Empress Dowager Sun said this, she suddenly thought that her grandson was only eight years old, and then her voice slowed down a little: "My grandson knows a lot, but it is difficult."
As she spoke, Empress Dowager Sun's eyes were filled with tears.
Wan Zhen'er quickly handed over the handkerchief.
After Queen Mother Sun wiped away her tears.
"Zhang Bao, follow me to the front hall and see what advice these ministers can give us two."
"Yes, the Queen Mother."
After Empress Dowager Sun entered the front hall, the ministers knelt down and saluted.
Empress Dowager Sun sat on the main seat, and then said: "No courtesy."
"How do you think we should make a decision regarding today's court meeting?"
"The Empress Dowager and a minor minister, Xu Youzhen, believe that the dimming of the Emperor's Star is due to the Supreme Emperor. If the Supreme Emperor is allowed to return to the capital, there will be unrest in the inner palace. If the inner palace is uneasy, the government will be unstable. If the government is unstable, the world will be unstable. "
"Your Majesty is still young, and your friendship for the Supreme Emperor is as bright as heaven and earth. When the time comes, I, the Queen Mother, and I will not be able to stop Your Majesty from abdicating the throne."
"However, when the Ming Dynasty was peaceful, the world was peaceful, the country was prosperous, and the country was prospering, we did not dare to take risks, so we asked the Empress Dowager to build the Supreme Palace in Tongzhou for the sake of the millions of people in the Ming Dynasty and Taizu's foundation. Your Majesty, if you are not in charge of the government for one day, your Majesty will not be able to enter the capital for one day."
After saying that, Xu Youzhen knelt on the ground and fired the first shot.
According to convention, Yu Qian should be the first to reply, but Li Xian and others felt that Yu Qian's words were rough and blunt, and he scolded the Emperor when he came up, which would anger the Emperor and the Queen Mother. It was no different from the plan, so they made arrangements beforehand. Xu Youzhen played the match first.
And Xu Youzhen grasped this opportunity very well.
Your Majesty is still young, but one day he will grow up and take charge. One day, he will understand how fragrant the emperor's honor is. When the time comes, he remembers Lao Xu's kowtow in the Hall of Yingwu to pray for the Empress Dowager, and when the time comes, he becomes a bachelor of the Huagai Hall and enters the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister. Wouldn't it be wonderful? .
After Xu Youzhen finished speaking, Empress Dowager Sun was silent for a moment.
"Is Tongzhou too close?"
After hearing what Empress Dowager Sun said, Xu Youzhen, who was kneeling down, was stunned, and the ministers were also stunned for a moment.
Originally, the Emperor sneaked back, and it seemed that the officials needed to deal with the young emperor, but their real enemy should be the Empress Dowager Sun.
Although the little emperor is smart and mature, the ministers can hide Zhu Jianshen as long as they form a rope.
But the Empress Dowager Sun was different. Zhu Qizhen was a child she gave birth to in ten months of pregnancy. Her blood is thicker than water. Now that her son has come back, it is inevitable that she will miss her son suddenly. Then it will be difficult to deal with it.
But now, the Empress Dowager actually dislikes Tongzhou being too close to Beijing.
Is this an irony?
At that moment, the courtiers did not dare to talk about this again, but these were words Xu Youzhen let out. It was okay for others to reject it, but he could not let the words of the Empress Dowager fall to the ground.
"Empress Dowager, you, what do you mean by this?" Xu Youzhen asked weakly.
He didn't know what Empress Dowager Sun meant by what she said.
"Your Majesty is astute. If the Supreme Emperor is in Tongzhou, he will be discovered by your Majesty sooner or later. As the Xu Qing family said, if your Majesty is not in charge of the government, the Supreme Emperor will not be able to enter the capital. This is exactly what I want. Your Majesty has a pure heart. Like this There is no need to inform His Majesty or Taibao about matters that do not affect the state affairs."
Yu Qian came out and said, "I'm here."
"I'll leave this matter to you. First, find the Supreme Emperor and don't let him cause trouble and noise around the capital. This will be detrimental to His Majesty's reputation. Second, find a place for the Supreme Emperor to live and keep it under strict supervision. As for this residence, Earth, the Ai family has only one request, it cannot be too close to the capital, as long as it is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, you can do it without asking."
"Yes, the Queen Mother."
"The Xu Qing family dares to sacrifice their lives and move forward to make suggestions for the country. They will be given a bounty belt, promoted to the censor of Youdu, and awarded the title of Grand Bachelor of Dongge." The Empress Dowager glanced at Xu Youzhen, who was still kneeling on the ground and said.
What Xu Youzhen said reached the heart of the Empress Dowager and dispelled all the remaining worries in her heart.
The Empress Dowager's reward made Xu Youzhen extremely happy. It seemed that her celestial skills had indeed reached a new level.
As long as you get close to Zhu Zhu, it is not a dream to leave a name in history.
Xu Youzhen quickly kowtowed and thanked him.
When Xu Youzhen just stood up, Zhu Ji lined up and came out: "The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty has just issued an order for us to welcome the Emperor into the capital..."
"My imperial grandson is still young and does not know the important affairs of the country. The imperial edict he issued will be stopped here. After the Taibao finds the Supreme Emperor and settles it, you will submit a letter. The Supreme Emperor is still touring the northern border. The words of today's meeting are just It’s just some groundless rumors.”
"Respect the Queen Mother's decree."
After Zhu Ji finished speaking, he left in line.
"Everything we do is for your majesty and the Ming Dynasty. Even if your majesty knows about it one day, the Ai family will protect you from the king's wrath. I hope you can do your best. Suppress this wind so that it does not blow into the court and cause discomfort to His Majesty."
"Respect the Queen Mother's decree."
However, Zhu Qizhen, who was deep in the mountains and forests, did not know that Beijing at this time was his home that he could never return to.
All civil and military officials in the dynasty, from the Queen Mother to the foot soldiers and traders, did not welcome him home.
