Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 233 The Emperor intends to forcibly demolish the Beijing Camp
Yu Qian had brought [-] Xuanfu troops to the south before, and now the emperor is going to send another [-] Beijing troops stationed in Datong.

Including Wang Ji's original 10,000+ army, the total number of troops involved in quelling the Miao Rebellion exceeded 20.

The ministers felt that the emperor's absurdity had flared up again, and it would be fine to use more than 20 troops to fight against Oirat. Is it so exciting to quell the chaos?

Luo Tong stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, all the soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion are currently stationed in Datong. If they are transferred to the south, the defense of the capital may be somewhat empty."

Zhu Qiyu patiently explained: "It's not like you don't know the chaos in the south. It's because the Supreme Emperor has transferred too many troops from the Beijing camp, leaving the north empty. This is the root cause of the civil fort change.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, I decided to change the Beijing camp to the two-capital system.In the future, the Five Army Battalions and the Three Thousand Battalions will be assigned to the Nanjing Jingying Camp as a whole, and then the current Nanjing Jingying Camp will be completely reorganized.

In the future, if there is a rebellion in the south, the Nanjing Jingying camp will send a large army nearby to suppress it. In this way, the response speed of the Beijing army can be improved and the imperial court's control over the south can be enhanced. "

Chen Xun, Wang Wen, Luo Tong and the others immediately understood: My good fellow, the emperor does not intend to let the armies led by the Fifth Army Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, and Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao again. Back to Beijing.

But everyone can also understand that if the 20 troops who are close to the emperor come back in one breath, it will really kill the emperor.

Even if these armies did not rebel, the emperor would not be able to sleep peacefully at night, and he might wake up from nightmares at every turn.

And on this point, the interests of the ministers and the emperor are the same, and they also don't want to see so many pro-emperor troops in Beijing.

The matter of supporting the new emperor was originally done by the group of ministers in front of me. The important ministers who are close to the emperor Wang Zhi, Hu Yi, Shang Ren, and Peng Shi, and the neutral Wang Ao and Yu Qian have been driven away. Among the remaining important ministers, there are none. People hope to see the restoration of the Supreme Emperor.

If the sky changed again and everyone present could end up going home to hold their children, it would be the ancestors' merit.

So no one would be too idle to make things difficult for themselves. All the officials passed the emperor's edict without any suspense, and then looked forward together, starting to discuss the upcoming Zhengdan Dynasty and preparing for the new beginning of the first day of the Jingtai Dynasty.

Yu Shiyue, who also served as Minister of the Ministry of Rites, began to stand up and report: "Your Majesty, according to the information gathered by the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, His Royal Highness King Min and King Xiang are expected to arrive in Beijing early tomorrow morning.

The kings of Soochow and Xiwu are expected to arrive in Beijing in seven days.

In addition, Meng Yuan is sweating profusely and is expected to arrive in Beijing within three days.

Other vassal kings and local civil and military officials have begun to arrive in Beijing one after another.

The Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple have already prepared for the reception. If there is anything else that needs special attention, please let Your Majesty know. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "When the king of Dongwu County arrived in Beijing, I went out of the city twenty miles to meet him in person. In Beijing, the prince and all the civil and military officials of the fifth rank and above must all go with me.

If anyone does not want to go, make a list and give it to me for review. "

Yu Shiyue didn't say much, she just took orders.After all, the emperor had made his attitude clear a long time ago, and the ministers had not objected before, but now it would be shameful for the ministers to argue again when the matter came to an end.

The monarch and his ministers talked about some trivial matters, and then they separated.

Zhu Qiyu leisurely returned to the room, and urged the concubines to prepare meals.

At noon today, we will have a banquet for all Zhongshushe people, and arrange other positions for some people.Then slowly select a group of newcomers to come in.

There was still time until noon, and Bai Gui, Xiang Zhong, Ye Sheng and others were still handling government affairs in the Xihua Hall, while He Yi rarely appeared in the Imperial Academy.

He Yi was the editor of the Hanlin Academy at the beginning, and the emperor never dismissed He Yi's editorial position, so He Yi was not outside, and greeted his colleagues one by one with a smile on his face as soon as he entered the Imperial Academy.

Liu Dingzhi, who always likes to joke very much, cupped his hands and bowed to He Yi, and said with a smile: "Oh, the Grand Scholar is here, I've been waiting to see the Grand Scholar."

He Yi smiled and said: "Senior, don't shame me, don't say that I am just a little bastard, even if I am the chief assistant of the court, I can't afford to bow to you, the suzerain of the literary world."

Liu Dingzhi pulled He Yi and asked a question that everyone cared about: "Xingyi, what did you say about the inner court yesterday? Hearing that Empress Qian was unwell, the Holy Majesty killed all the palace servants in Qianqing Palace in a fit of anger. The rod is dead."

He Yi evaded and said: "I don't know the inside story. I was exhausted after going to the grassland with the army. I have been sleeping in the mansion recently. I haven't seen the Holy Majesty in the past two days. I still want to leave You guys are here to hear some gossip."

When everyone heard the words, they discussed again.The majestic emperor's wife, the empress whom the matchmaker is marrying, has been crippled by the servants of the palace. If there is no inside story, which fool would believe it.

But the emperor dealt with it very quickly, and all the palace servants were executed without a trial.Moreover, the chief supervisor of the inner court has been changed by the emperor, and now the inner court has changed.

The Supervisor of Ceremonies was presided over by the former Jin Ying and Xing Anquan, and now Chen Mian, Ruan An, Wang Jin, Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, Zhang Yong, and Wang Qin, a total of seven people are co-governing.

The great talents of the Hanlin Academy have already named the new eunuch in power of the Supervisor of Rites in private.It is called the Seven Eunuchs of Li, which means that they are the seven eunuchs in power of the Supervisor of Li.

And all the courtiers could tell that Jin Ying and Xing'an would never come back.Even if you come back, don't even think about taking power again.The eunuch who was in charge of the seal of ceremonies has existed in name only.

Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, Zhang Yong, and Wang Qin all know that, under the current situation, it is impossible for die-hard cronies of the emperor to join the Supreme Emperor's side like a convulsion.

So everyone focused on guessing the positions of Chen Mian, Ruan An, and Wang Jin.

Who is neutral, who is the confidant of the Supreme Emperor, and who is the confidant of the emperor?

After only staying for a while, He Yi found an excuse and ran out of the Imperial Academy.It's enough to report back when you come back, and if you stay any longer, it's time for the colleagues to 'trial the prisoner'.

He Yi didn't dare to reveal the emperor's secrets, so he had to run first as a respect.

After leaving the Imperial Academy, He Yi was going to take the Yuhe Middle Bridge, and then report to the Zhan Shifu where he worked.

Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, I heard someone shouting from behind: "Brother Xingyi, please stay."

He Yi looked back, and it turned out that it was Tanhua Lang Yuezheng who was in the same discipline as him.Yue Zheng was also a Jinshi in the middle of last year, and he has a good temperament and profound knowledge. He was selected as a candidate at the age of 30, and he is a leader among the younger generation.

He Yi had recommended Yue Zheng to Zhu Qiyu before. When the Supreme Emperor was still in power, Yue Zheng wrote a memorandum at home, asking the orthodox emperor to restore Hu Shanxiang's empress title.Unfortunately, halfway through writing, he was discovered by his elder brother, who stopped Yue Zheng on the grounds that it would harm his mother.

Yue Zheng called He Yi to stop, he was a little anxious, and wanted to ask He Yi for advice.After all, He Yi, who is in the same department, is about to take off, and he is still in the editorial position of the Imperial Academy, and he doesn't know when he will be the leader.

The two chatted, and He Yi told the truth: "Brother Ji Fang, my younger brother recommended you to the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty also knows that Brother Ji Fang is young and talented, and he is loyal.

The most worrying thing for the Holy One right now is that Daming does not have peerless national warriors like Yu Rang and Shen Baoxu who spared no effort on their own lives and defied all difficulties.

Brother Ji Fang already had the ambition to uphold justice for Queen Hu, but why did he take care of himself and give up halfway.

Could it be that Ling Tang is the mother of Brother Ji Fang, and the queen of Queen Hu is not the mother of Brother Ji Fang? "

When Yue Zheng heard the words, he fell into deep thought, and after a while, he bowed deeply to He Yi: "Empress Hu's mother honors the world, and is the mother of a country. I am a minister, and Empress Hu is naturally my mother.

I was cowardly and narrow-minded before, ashamed and ashamed.Brother Xingyi said, brother Yu has been taught, so I will go back and write the memorial. "

He Yi quickly praised: "There are loyal ministers in the Ming Dynasty. Once this memorial is published, the king's heart must be greatly relieved. Brother Ji Fang's talent is ten times better than that of the younger brother. In the future, he will make great achievements and make great achievements. It is just around the corner."

Yue Zheng did what he said, bid farewell to He Yi, hurried back home, called his brother, and came to his mother together.

Yue Zheng didn't talk too much, he bowed his head and wept bitterly.

Yuezheng's mother was very surprised, and asked curiously: "My son went out this morning and was fine, what happened?"

Yue Zheng replied while crying: "My son decided to write to the imperial court, requesting the restoration of Empress Hu. Before that, my son had already written a memorandum, but his elder brother stopped him after he found out.

Now that my son has figured it out, this memorial must be written and submitted to His Majesty.

If the son loses his life because of this, the mother's kindness of nurturing can only be repaid in the next life. "

Yue Zheng's brother, Yue Rui, was shocked when he heard the words, and was about to speak a lesson.

However, Yue Zheng's mother waved her hand: "Forget it, my son is loyal and will not care about death. If I stop him again, then I will become an unfaithful and unrighteous person.

The injustice of Empress Hu back then was known all over the world, and the world sighed and sympathized.

However, all civil and military officials turned a blind eye; in the whole court, no one was a loyal minister.

When your father was still there, he despised the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty.I also don't want my son to become the kind of person my father despises.

Go ahead, let go and do what my son agrees with.You, a young man with a bright future, are not afraid of death, but I, an old woman who is half buried in the ground, am not afraid of death. "

Hearing this, Yue Rui sighed heavily, stood aside and stopped trying to persuade her.Yue Zheng kowtowed his head three times, then went back to his room to write the playbook, crying.
