Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 258 The Emperor Compromised and Called Back King Liu Puxiang Forced to Accept the Reality
Zhu Qiyu's words of letting King Xiang ascend the throne or supervising the country are almost all words of hatred, directly alluding to King Xiang's desire to enter Beijing to take over the power.

King Xiang didn't bother to appreciate the emperor's humble attitude, and quickly knelt down and replied:
"Your Majesty took over the throne temporarily, severely injured Wala, saved the nation, defended the capital, and preserved the Ming Dynasty. This is an unworldly achievement.

The return of the throne is beyond the reach of the courtiers. It is appropriate for the two sages to discuss and agree after the Supreme Emperor returns to Beijing. "

Seeing that King Xiang still refused to let go, he refused to say Yuqian's famous saying: the throne of heaven has been set, and Ningfu has it.

Zhu Qiyu replied decisively: "The return of the throne is inevitable, and there is no need to discuss it. The post-establishment matter is absolutely impossible, and there is no need to discuss it.

For the time being, let's do this for now. From now on, the court's first priority is to punish the Emperor with all his strength, and welcome back the Supreme Emperor as soon as possible. "

Hearing the emperor's words, King Xiang was dissatisfied again: "Your Majesty, why do you want to kill him with all your strength? If you are forced to jump over the wall and hurt the Supreme Emperor first, then what should we do?"

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously when he heard the words: "Wala took the lives of 50 innocent soldiers of my Ming Dynasty. Shouldn't we try our best to kill Yeye first? What Uncle Xiang means is that I deliberately forced Yeye to hurt the Supreme Emperor first?"

The civil servants and military generals of the imperial court are tired of hearing it. It's the New Year's Eve, this King Xiang will not open any pot and carry which pot. He must make everyone feel uneasy to be happy.

Exterminate with all your strength first, even if the emperor said so, in actual operation, everyone can't really kill the emperor.

Besides, civil servants and military generals all knew in their hearts that in the final battle of Xuanfu, the emperor could wipe out the emperor first, but he still let him go because he was concerned about the safety of the Supreme Emperor.

Moreover, the emperor sent clothes, women, honor guards, chariots, felt tents and red charcoal to the Taishanghuang, and everyone noticed these.

In good conscience, the emperor treated the Supreme Emperor well.

As for King Xiang, he wanted the emperor to abdicate, but he didn't dare to speak out.He also intends to completely prevent the emperor from becoming a queen, and force the emperor to express his position in public only to take the throne temporarily, which is going to the opposite side with the ministers present.

You must know that the current emperor is supported by the ministers. At that time, the Queen Mother Sun wanted the plan that the prince Zhu Jianshen would succeed to the throne, and King Xiang would supervise the country. However, the ministers insisted that Zhu Qiyu succeed to the throne, and Zhu Jianshen would be the prince. an emperor.

Therefore, the plan approved by most ministers is that Zhu Qiyu will be emperor for life, and then passed on to the prince Zhu Jianshen.

A few cronies of the emperor wanted to change the crown prince.

But none of the ministers proposed to return the throne to the Supreme Emperor as the emperor.

When someone needs to take the blame, tell Zhu Qiyu that the court can't do without you.After the crisis is over, kick Zhu Qiyu away immediately?

That's not how immoral things are done. No minister has ever been so shameless.

King Xiang still didn't give up, and continued to reply: "Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor are brothers and sisters, and the relationship is harmonious, and I have no intention of criticizing it. It's just that it is bitter cold outside the Great Wall, and the Supreme Emperor lives in that barren land for a long time, which must be harmful to the dragon's body.

Liu Pu, the Marquis of Anyuan, and Chen Mao, the Marquis of Ningyang, are courageous and resourceful, mature and prudent.The minister recommended that the two lead an army out of the fortress to welcome the Supreme Emperor back to the court. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Zunzuo, it's just that there are frequent civil upheavals in the southeast, and there are endless rebellions. When the situation improves a little, I will immediately order the two of them to lead the army back to Beijing."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Qiyu immediately added: "This summer at the latest, I will order the Marquis of Ningyang and Marquis of Anyuan to return to the court."

When King Xiang heard the words, he couldn't say anything more.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhu Qiyu ordered: "All those who participated in the court meeting today will go to watch the execution tomorrow. After Ling Chi and Shi Jing, the two cases of poisoning the King of Tan and Princess Shunde were officially concluded.

Then you go home and rest until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

From then on, if nothing major happens, I will not convene a court meeting again.If you have anything to say, you can write me a playbook, and I will read it. "

When it comes to the playbook, Zhu Qiyu emphasized again: "I will give you a rule on the form of the playbook. A playbook is divided into three parts.

The first part: tell me who you are, what official position you are, and the specific date when you wrote the memorial.

Part Two: Tell me exactly what happened.

Part Three: Tell me your suggestion or request.

For example, let's say a petition for disaster relief.

The first part, tell me that you are the magistrate of a certain place, so and so.

In the second part, tell me what kind of disaster happened in your jurisdiction and how serious it is.

The third part, tell me what kind of assistance you need from the imperial court for your disaster relief measures.

It is not allowed to tell me about the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Confucius, Mencius, Cheng Zhu, etc. in the memorial.

Don't talk about empty-headed truths.Liu Dingzhi, the former Hanlin attendant, gave me a playbook of thousands of words, and the number of words in an article is almost catching up with the number of words in the Tao Te Ching.

As a result, listening to what you say is like reading a word.He seemed to say something, but he didn't seem to say anything.

In the future, if this kind of thing happens again, it will not be as simple as going home and holding the baby.

I have warned you in advance, don't say that I didn't predict it. "

When all the officials heard the words, they quickly bowed their heads and took orders.

The ministers don't have much opinion on this. If you don't want to write those words about the wheel, don't let them write.It's also good to focus more on dealing with business.

Except for the Qingliu of the Imperial Academy, who are in charge of practical officials, there are not many people who really like to show off their writing all day long.

Besides, with the current authority of the emperor, there is absolutely no resistance to implementing a small reform of this level.

Next, the last item is that Tuotuo Buhua presented the jade seal of the Dayuan Chuanguo, and enshrined the Son of Heaven as Tian Khan, and officially accepted the order of Tian Khan since then.

After the leaders of Tuotuobuhua, Arazhiyuan and Duoyan three guards knelt down and worshiped, Zhu Qiyu, as Tian Khan, canonized Tuotuobuhua as the Great Khan of Tatar, ruling the eastern Mongolia part; Oirat Khan ruled the western Mongolia part.

Since then, the Great Yuan Kingdom has officially come to an end.

After going through the process, seeing that everyone had nothing to do, Zhu Qiyu ordered the court to disperse.

There have been so many major events in the past six months, the government and the opposition, the monarchs, ministers and bureaucrats, everyone has long been exhausted physically and mentally.

After finally being able to rest and take a bath for half a month, the atmosphere suddenly became active.

The civil and military officials saluted happily, exited Fengtian Hall, and then went back to their respective yamen to congratulate each other, and then they could go home and reunite with their relatives.

To say that it only took Zhu Qizhen five days from the time he decided to go on a personal expedition to the departure of the army would be a bit unfair to him.On July [-]th, in the battle of Yanghekou, [-] Ming troops were defeated.

And most of the [-] Ming troops were the Beijing troops that the imperial court had added to resist the Oirat invasion.

It can be seen that the imperial court had already begun to deploy troops to Shanxi to prepare for war in June.

In other words, from June to now, the imperial court has been tossing for half a year.

These civil and military ministers are actually very pitiful.The entire orthodox dynasty was first coerced by Sanyang to attack Atai Khan, and then unified Mongolia first.Then Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen pushed hard to launch the ten-year-long Battle of Luchuan.

The two wars between the North and the South triggered a chain reaction, which eventually led to the Civil War.

Throughout the orthodox dynasty, the ministers had no peace.

In the Jingtai Dynasty, it was somewhat better.At least the emperor has just promised that Jingtai will not launch new wars for the first five years.

The ministers who are already very content gathered together to celebrate the new year in a relaxed and happy manner.

Yang Shan had already been sent by the emperor to the south to suppress the rebellion, so no one jumped out, saying that the Supreme Emperor is suffering, and everyone should not congratulate him.

Zhu Qiyu also returned home under the strict protection of his personal guards.
