Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 234 The Emperor Awarded Zhongshu Sheren King Xiang for Entering Beijing to Secretly Meet the Empress Dowager
With the approach of the Zhengdan Dynasty, vassal kings and local officials successively entered the capital, and the orthodox struggle between the concubine and the concubine was about to officially kick off.

This is a matter of who can control public opinion and who can gain righteousness.

Whichever side wins, that side will stand on the moral high ground.

So this is a war without gunpowder, no wonder Yue Zheng cries, the Shanghuang faction and the Xinjun faction are likely to enter a life-and-death contest, once they are involved, they will really die.

When Yue Zheng started to write the playbook, he realized that he was no longer jealous of He Yi.In the past, I only saw people soaring into the sky, but I didn't see the huge risks they took behind the scenery.

Now that Yue Zheng stepped into the game himself, he could empathize with him in an instant.

Being in the game, and being an outsider on the sidelines, the feeling is completely different.

Yue Zheng bit his finger fiercely, since he was already here anyway, he might as well write a book in blood instead of doing anything.

……

But it was almost noon, and people from Zhongshushe had already gathered in the West Flower Hall.He Yi was the last one to arrive. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Chen Jian sitting in the corner, sipping tea sullenly by himself.

Chen Jian was thrown into prison by Zhu Qizhen in the orthodox dynasty to die. Before that, He Yi defended Chen Jian and recommended him to be a doctor in the Ministry of War and a member of Zhongshu Schee.

Seeing He Yi coming in, Chen Jian quickly stood up and greeted him very warmly.

Chen Jian didn't know anyone well, so he just chatted with He Yi.

After a while, Ning Xiang came to invite her personally, and a small group of people followed to Jiang Yunxuan.

The food was already set, Zhu Qiyu had been waiting there early, and warmly greeted everyone to sit down.

A total of ten members of Zhongshushe were present: He Yi, Huang Pu, Lian Gang, Bai Gui, Xiang Zhong, Ye Sheng, Yao Xian, Xu Zheng, Huang Jian, and Chen Jian.

Zhu Qiyu first expressed his gratitude to everyone for their achievements these days, and then described the next arrangements for everyone one by one.

Zhu Qiyu first said to Bai Gui, Xiang Zhong, and Ye Sheng: "You three have military talents, I will send you to Shi Heng, Sun Tong, and Liu Yongcheng as military counselors.

If you accumulate more military qualifications, you will be able to be the Minister of the Ministry of War in the future.

Next, there will be undercurrents and turbulent battles in the capital.Continuing to stay in the capital is not good for your personal future. If you are affected, the rest of your life will be ruined.So you guys go back and pack up and go tomorrow. "

Although Bai Gui, Xiang Zhong, and Ye Sheng were unwilling to clearly stand in line, and they were a little bit close to the emperor, Zhu Qiyu still made arrangements with all his heart.Letting the three of them go to serve as counselors for military affairs is not in the same nature as kicking out the unsightly ministers before.

The young Minister Counselor's meritorious service in military affairs is a very good resume, which will be of great help to the future appointment and reuse.

Zhu Qiyu instructed Yao Xian and Lian Gang again: "Yao Aiqing returns to the Imperial College, and concentrates on preparing for the provincial examination next year. When you become a Jinshi in high school next year, I will arrange for you to enter the household department for training.

Lian Aiqing has a heavy task, and if you can't leave, you can only do things for me while taking time to prepare for the township examination.These days, Lian Aiqing, in order to publicize for me, often rushes to work around the clock, both credit and hard work.When you become a Jinshi, I will reward you together. "

Lian Gang understands what the emperor means, now that he is a juren, it is not easy to get promoted.After winning the Jinshi, the emperor can let go of the promotion.Anyway, I am now the emperor's third confidant, and I will definitely not be able to escape.

Next are He Yi and Huang Pu. Zhu Qiyu once struggled with which one should be appointed as the Zuochunfang University Bachelor and which one should be the Youchunfang University Bachelor.The official system of the Ming Dynasty respected the left. According to first-come-first-served basis, He Yi should be appointed as Zuochunfang University Bachelor, and according to age and qualifications, Huang Pu should be appointed as Zuochunfang University Bachelor.

However, He Yi has already expressed to the emperor in private that he is willing to be a scholar of Youchunfang University.

As soon as he came, He Yi had a long-term vision, and was willing to be humble and courteous, and make good friends.Secondly, He Yi is too young, only 22 years old, there is no need to worry at all, and he can afford to wait.

That would save Zhu Qiyu's entanglement. As for Xu Zheng, Huang Jian, and Chen Jian, they came the latest and made the least contribution, so there was no change and they continued to serve as the original officials.

Zhu Qiyu said to He Yi and Huang Pu, "Chengji, you have been promoted to Zuochunfang University Bachelor, Honglu Temple Minister, Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, and Zhongshu Sheren. The previous Guangxi Daoist Censor no longer has to serve concurrently.

Xingyi, you have been promoted to a bachelor of Youchunfang University, a lecturer of the Imperial Academy, and a member of Zhongshushe.From now on, I will be by my side full-time, presiding over the government affairs of Xihua Hall. "

The two quickly thanked each other.Zhu Qiyu stopped pretending, and directly promoted Huang Pu to be the top leader of Honglu Temple, the fourth rank.

Honglu Temple is in charge of court meetings, guests, good and bad etiquette, as well as foreign officials' pilgrimage and reception of feudal vassals.In the upcoming Zhengdan Dynasty, Honglu Temple was used in many places.

After talking about job arrangements, the next step is to drink and chat.

Between the monarch and his ministers, it is good to enhance the relationship.Until the afternoon, the host and guest had a good time, and the banquet ended.

Zhu Qiyu went home to sleep in a daze, speechless all night.

……

Early the next morning, King Min and King Xiang arrived in Beijing as scheduled and stayed in the Ten Princes' Mansion.

King Min is seventy years old, and he is the only living son of Taizu.

As soon as King Min moved into the Tenth Prince's Mansion, he neither went out nor saw any guests, but only reunited with his own sister, Princess Yongjia.

King Xiang is different, he has been worried for a long time.Now as soon as he arrives in Beijing, he immediately goes to the palace to meet Queen Mother Sun.

In the Palace of Mercy Ning, Empress Dowager Sun retreated to the left and right, and sat down with King Xiang as guest and host. Before she could speak, she sighed at the same time, feeling extremely depressed.

Before that, King Xiang wrote a letter requesting that Zhu Jianshen succeed to the throne and King Yi supervise the country.As a result, when the memorial was sent from Changsha to Beijing, Zhu Qiyu had jumped two levels in a row. First, he was promoted from the king of Qi to the king of Qi, and then the king of Qi ascended the throne as emperor.

After reading King Xiang's memorial, Zhu Qiyu replied that King Xiang would go to Beijing to supervise the country, but he himself would abdicate after King Xiang entered Beijing and return to Shandong to become King of Qi, and Zhu Jianshen would succeed him.

Then it's embarrassing now, King Xiang certainly doesn't believe that Zhu Qiyu will take the initiative to abdicate to the virtuous.

And even if Zhu Qiyu is willing to withdraw, all the ministers will not: We have already kowtowed to the emperor, and the titles of monarchs and ministers have been determined.Now let King Xiang be the regent, why should we kowtow to King Xiang instead.

The ministers are all dignified, and they are not kowtowers, so why kowtow to this person after kowtowing to that person.There are not so many people in this world who want to learn from Lu Bu.

The most important thing is that the current emperor treats the ministers fairly well, but it is unknown how King Xiang will treat the ministers after he takes office.Everyone is living a good life now, why bother to explore an uncertain future inexplicably.

It was King Xiang who spoke first: "Sister-in-law, Zhu Qiyu is a concubine who was born to a concubine, how can you make him emperor?"

Empress Dowager Sun supported her forehead with her head: "Oh, the situation in the capital at that time, Jianshen was still a baby, and he couldn't speak well, if he was allowed to succeed and supervise the state of Qi, he would not be able to stabilize people's hearts at all.

Guo Lai Changjun, the three-year-old young master is in power, it must be the master who is less suspicious.And if King Qi is only a supervisor of the country, after all, he is not worthy of righteousness, and it is difficult to fully mobilize the power of the entire court to fight against the Oirat army.

So it was all helpless things, there was really no way at that time.

It's just that there are thousands of calculations, and Zhu Qiyu is so difficult to deal with. "

When King Xiang heard the words, he immediately quit: "Then he is a lowly bastard, why should he be the king of Qi? He is not afraid of losing his life."
