Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 201 Fengtian Hall invites the ministers to hold a banquet on the eve of wind and rain
There was a thunderstorm, and there was nothing to say all night.

Early the next morning, Zhu Qiyu got up as soon as the fifth watch arrived.

At this time, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and even inside the house, one could feel the coldness seeping through the cracks in the windows.

Fortunately, the feeling of being surrounded by a group of women is really good.Since today is a big day, it is the beginning of Zhu Qiyu's real prestige as the new king, so the women who have nothing to do have basically gathered in the room early.

There were those who helped Zhu Qiyu change clothes, those who prepared breakfast, and those who packed dry food.

Even for the court meeting, Zhu Qiyu wore very simple clothes, a long blue robe and a white jade crown.A jasper pendant is hung on one side of the waist, and the brisk and sharp Qingyun sword is tied on the other.

That's all, there are no totems related to dragons on the whole body.Zhu Qiyu claims to be the emperor of the real dragon, but he has never liked dragons.

Waiting for the clothes to be put on, Mu Yu then stuffed the prepared dry food and drinks into Zhu Qiyu's pocket.

In the end, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help laughing, and laughed at himself to the girls: "It should be rare for an emperor to be treated like this in ancient times."

According to Zhu Qiyu's own knowledge, only our Emperor Chongzhen was so useless when he first entered the palace and succeeded to the throne.

All the favorite concubines were very worried, but they had no intention of laughing.Xian'er came over with a glass of wine.

Zhu Qiyu continued to tease: "Is this the one who persuades you to have a glass of wine, and there is no one who goes out of Yangguan to the west?"

Xian'er bit the wine glass, held the good wine in her mouth, and handed it over, as if she was letting you pick it.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and drank slowly in the cherry cup, and Xian'er handed over the empty wine glass again.Zhu Qiyu took it curiously, looked at the lip marks on the glass, and asked curiously: "What do you do with an empty wine glass?"

Xian'er smiled and said, "Sir, can't you bring the ministers to drink with you at the dinner? We bring our own wine glasses, we don't use the ones from the palace. Don't wipe this glass. Husband sees the lip marks on the glass, just like seeing slaves."

"Okay, okay, isn't it just going to the palace to stay for a day and a night, it's like going on a long trip."

Lin Xiangyu asked from the side: "Husband, do you really not need to bring the two sisters into the palace? And the prince, mother and concubine go alone, can you take care of me?"

"Don't go, it's been raining heavily for several days, and the sky is still gloomy. It's a good time to do dark things. You just need to be gentle little women and serve me well, and that gang When it comes to fighting and killing people, I can do it myself."

After tidying up, Zhu Qiyu came to join his mother and concubine, and the two brought the prince into the palace.

Although the concubine did not like the palace, she was not afraid of the people in the palace.As soon as they entered the palace, the two separated, the concubine first went to the Palace of Compassion, and Zhu Qiyu took the prince into the long-lost Fengtian Palace.

In the history of Ming Dynasty, the Fengtian Palace was completely burned down by "thunder and fire from heaven" three times, so Zhu Qiyu didn't like this palace even more.

The so-called "Fengtian" means being grilled endlessly by "thunder and fire from heaven".

In the early Ming Dynasty, the time was very early, and after a while, the ministers gathered at Fengtianmen one after another.

Because the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were afraid that the area of ​​the three halls would not be burned thoroughly enough, there were corridors connecting Fengtian Gate to both sides of Fengtian Hall, and they were still made of wood.

The ministers filed in along the corridor, and Zhu Qiyu sat on the dragon chair with his arms around the prince, accepting the congratulations from all the officials.

After the ceremony was finished and Zhu Qiyu brought the prince into the Dongpian Hall, the ministers were still in a state of ignorance.No one could figure out which of the emperor's nerves was wrong, and he insisted on finding a miserable and rainy weather to hold a grand court meeting.

If you have to celebrate the crown prince's birthday, that's all. The key is that all the officials have to report on their duties one by one after the court celebration. Isn't this a tossing person?

And the ministers also observed that after entering the imperial city, not a single Jinyiwei could be seen.All the guards with knives are all in light blue brocade clothes. Although they are also brocade clothes, they are obviously not the familiar brocade guards.

The number of guards is also obviously too high, there are three to 4000 people inside and outside, and the city gates and corridors are all full of guards.

After the court meeting, all the gates of the imperial city were closed, and all the dignified people in Beijing were locked in the imperial city.

Zhu Qiyu summoned officials of the fifth rank and above from the Six Ministries, the Inspectorate, and the Imperial Academy one by one in the side hall.

While Zhu Qiyu was leisurely chatting with the ministers, he just woke up from his sleep.

He also woke up and listened carefully, repeatedly confirming, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the sound of the cannon outside finally stopped.I don't know why the emperor of Ming Dynasty and the army went crazy, they shelled all day and night yesterday.

The key point is that it’s been raining outside. Although Da Tianzi has predicted things well, he has built a canopy in advance and made moisture-proof measures. The artillery can barely fire, but he must not be able to move. .

Since the artillery cannot be moved, the landing point of the shells is relatively fixed. The soldiers of Wala abandoned the east side of the camp, and moved all the food, grass and luggage to the west side.At night, the soldiers also huddled in the tents on the west side to sleep.

Therefore, the shelling of the Ming army sounds lively, but in fact, almost no one can be killed, that is, the tent on the east side of the Wala camp.

I'm also puzzled first, the Daming Cannon also has a lifespan, and it cannot be used indefinitely.Each cannon fired a certain number of shells and was about to be scrapped.Then what is the purpose of such indiscriminate firing regardless of the cost?

With doubts, he also had breakfast first, because Huang Pu had come to inform yesterday that today was the crown prince's birthday, and a grand court celebration would be held in the city, so he felt that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief today.

Rest for a day today, and tomorrow when the rain is lighter, the army will withdraw from the camp. This is also the first plan.The soldiers under his command also planned in this way.

After being tossed by the Ming army for several days and nights, the Wala soldiers finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Unexpectedly, not long after, the Ming army also had breakfast, and the shelling continued until the evening.

Fortunately, when it was time for normal people to sleep, the Ming army stopped shelling and all the lights in the camp were extinguished.

The Wala soldiers judged that the Ming army really fell asleep this time, so the Wala soldiers also hurriedly fell asleep.

As for whether this judgment is correct, the Wala soldiers can no longer take care of it.At this time, if someone stood up to explain the deception of the army and delayed everyone's sleep, he would be angrily chopped into meat by other Wala soldiers.

……

The Ming army was making final preparations for the night attack, and in Fengtian Hall, the night banquet had already begun.

Zhu Qiyu didn't care what others thought, took out his own drink from his pocket, took out a wine glass from his arms, filled a glass on his own, and said with a smile to everyone:
"It's been almost three months since the Tumu Fort change, and now that the Grand Master is finally going back to the grassland, Daming is safe.

Just wait until next spring when the flowers bloom and send envoys to grandly welcome the Supreme Emperor back, and our monarchs and ministers will be completely relieved. "
