Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 239
Mingyufang in Xicheng, Jietian Tower and Shennv Pavilion next to each other, are the two industries under the name of Princess Qi that are making a lot of money every day, and they are also a pair of sharp weapons in Zhu Qiyu's hands to play with information.

Zhu Qiyu ordered the princess to select the ten most beautiful and sexiest women from the Goddess Pavilion, and broadcast current affairs news to the guests in Jietianlou every day.

As for the guests, they are always more willing to listen carefully to the speech of the stunning beauty, not to mention the fast and accurate delivery of news from the reception.

And after listening to the news, the guests can get together to discuss.If some topics are discussed outside, Jin Yiwei will soon invite them to jail.But in Jietianlou, you can talk freely, as long as you don't openly insult the emperor, you can leave after the discussion, nothing happens.

Therefore, Jietian Tower has become a sea of ​​news in the capital. It is overcrowded every day, and it is hard to find one.

On December [-]th, the sky was bright and clear, and the sky was cloudless.

It was almost noon before Zhu Qiyu wandered to the West Flower Hall to listen to reports from Lian Gang, He Yi, Xu Zheng, and Huang Jian.

If you don't listen, you don't know. When you hear it, you are shocked.The news of Wuding Hou's recognition of the girl was only sent out from Jietianlou yesterday afternoon, and now it has caused a lot of trouble in the city, and everyone knows it.

Ordinary people are more likely to watch the excitement. After all, the gap between the princess and the queen is huge. The queen is related to righteousness and status, and she is the mother of a country. From the perspective of Confucianism, she is the mother of all people in the country.

But the princess is different. The emperor can pet whoever he likes, whether it is Wang Taifei or Qi Wangfei, the common people don't care.

Most of the common people in the capital still regard the Supreme Emperor as the orthodox emperor and the Supreme Empress as the orthodox queen.As for how the Emperor Jingtai, who took over the throne, tossed his own concubine, it was none of the common people's business.

Followed by civil servants, the reaction is not intense.Wang Taifei's grandfather, Wang Quan, was the commander of Jinwu's left guard, and Wang Taifei was born in a family of military generals, and the civil servants didn't like Wang Taifei that much.

Therefore, among the royal family, nobles, military generals, and civil servants, the civil servants are the first to break the jar, so let's love whoever, anyway, no matter which princess gains power, it is inevitable to get close to the military general Xungui.

Xungui and military generals were split into two halves. Xungui and generals who were close to the emperor supported Princess Qi; those who were close to the emperor supported Princess Taiyi.

Among the imperial relatives, apart from the Min King and the Shu King, the rest overwhelmingly supported the King and Dowager Tan.

But when it came to the restoration of Empress Hu, the situation was completely different. Except for the hardcore Shanghuang faction, the rest of the people overwhelmingly sympathized with Empress Hu. The few neutral factions were coerced by public opinion and did not dare to speak out easily.

In particular, the response from the people was the greatest, and almost none of the people did not support the restoration of Empress Hu.

When the wall falls, people push it, and when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.

Those supervisors, tribute students, scholars, Juren, and ordinary scholars, seeing that the general trend has been achieved, the law does not blame the public, and there is no risk in calling for the restoration of Empress Hu, they all remembered the Confucian etiquette taught by the sage in the book, and they were all impassioned , With a righteous face, he demanded to set things right.

After listening to the report, Zhu Qiyu smiled to He Yi and the others: "Don't look at how impassioned these scholars are, but Yue Zheng is the only one who can be reused for the restoration of Queen Hu.

Because Yue Zheng really took the risk of beheading, and if one day, as his colleague said, the Supreme Emperor is restored, Yue Zheng will still be completely liquidated.

He took the huge risk of defending the etiquette and upholding justice, so he is entitled to the treatment that a loyal national should have.

As for those who are making noise, they are like a swarm of buzzing flies, what are they doing long ago. "

He Yi understood that the emperor's sense of justice had flared up again, so he replied with a smile: "Once one or two national scholars like Yu Rang and Shen Baoxu can be produced, they will be invincible, and most of the rest are blindly following the crowd." That's all.

If His Majesty does not have expectations, there will be no disappointment. "

After all, He Yi handed over a copy of the memorial: "Your Majesty, the Dingxi Marquis family wrote that Jiang Gui's son, Jiang Yi, was unable to become the Marquis due to foot disease, and requested that Jiang Wan be granted the title of Dingxi Marquis.

Moreover, Jiang Yi had already entered into an alliance with the Sun family, marrying Jiang Wan's grand-niece of the Empress Dowager as his wife.The Jiang family also asked her to be named Mrs. Dingxihou. "

Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly, and asked Xu Zheng, "Weizhong, what do you think should be done?"

When Xu Zheng saw the emperor's question, he quickly and cautiously replied: "I think that it is not easy for your Majesty to directly stop the matter of my minister's marriage.

However, the inheritance of the title must be passed on from father to son and son to grandson.How can there be a son who is still alive but passes the title directly to his grandson? "

Zhu Qiyu nodded in satisfaction, and handed the memorabilia in his hand to Xu Zheng: "What Aiqing said is true, so you can reply like this for me."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Qiyu turned to Lian Gang and asked, "Is the "Illustration of National Salvation" ready?"

Lian Gang hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the first draft has been completed, with a total of 99 pages. The minister led the scribes and painters, working tirelessly without rest, and has already produced a hundred copies."

After finishing speaking, Lian Gang got up and went to the desk to take a thick picture album and handed it to the emperor.

Zhu Qiyu read it carefully from beginning to end.There are scenes of the Supreme Emperor laying out the guard of honor of the Son of Heaven, leading the Oala army, and calling the door outside the Zijing Pass and under the city of Beijing respectively; .

There are descriptions of the Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Qian’s eight carts of treasures, and 60 taels of silver transported to Oala;

There is also a detailed record of the battle in the capital and the heavy losses first.

In short, after reading this "National Salvation Illustrated Record", you can basically have an intuitive and comprehensive understanding of all kinds of major events that occurred during the period from the civil fort change to the defense of the capital. "

After reading it, Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied, and ordered Lian Gang to be distributed immediately, giving priority to princes and county kings, followed by feudal officials and local officials.

Xiang Yu once said: Wealth and honor do not return home, like brocade clothes walking at night.

In the same way, the Supreme Emperor has done so many "good things", and the Jingtai Emperor has made great achievements in saving the world, and he did not try his best to publicize it, so that the whole world can understand.

After discussing these things, Zhu Qiyu went back to his room, and the next step was to recharge his batteries, and then go to kowtow to his father-in-law tomorrow.

In a few days, the capital will become more and more lively, because the emperor's hated Dazong uncle Hu Wei is about to arrive in Beijing with the son of Emperor Jianwen.

At that time, the dispute between the concubine and the concubine will also intensify.

Zhu Qiyu's attitude is very clear: If you want to fight, you have to fight thoroughly.

Emperor Jingtai in history has always been burdened by his status as a concubine.After being the emperor for eight years, he was disgusted for eight years.It's okay to be disgusted by the minister every day, the key point is that even the Queen Wang followed to stab Emperor Jingtai in the heart,
So now Zhu Qiyu is determined, and must understand the dispute between the concubine and concubines once and for all.

It's fine if you are innocent, the key point is that the Sun family obtained the throne by killing their wives with concubines.And your Sun's husband is the grandson of the big rebel and the son of the little rebel, and the family also won the throne by rebelling.

All of them are traitors and traitors, why pretend to be a wolf with a big tail.

Why didn't you observe benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness when you seized the throne?

Oh, I saw me, you are all blessed to remember the Confucian etiquette taught by the sages, and you are endlessly babbling, talking about orthodoxy with me, isn't this bullying honest people?
