Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 293 The Deal Is Completed
In fact, Zhu Qiyu himself has never fully understood, where is Wenchen's bottom line?

If he has been in control of one hundred thousand elite pro-army, will Wen Chen deal with him in the same way he dealt with Wu Zong Zhu Houzhao?
It's really hard to say.

Zhu Jianshen's filial son, Zhu Youtang, was the watershed of the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor before Zhu Youtang and the emperor after him lived two completely different lives.

Zhu Youtang gave back the power that Zhu Jianshen had finally snatched back from the civil servants, and doubled it back.

If the subsequent emperor wanted to intervene in the army, he would definitely be resolutely countered by civil servants.

Zhu Qiyu's question is, now that he controls one hundred thousand elite troops, what kind of attitude does Wen Chen have in his heart?

It was all due to the defense of the capital, which led to the rapid establishment of such a huge prestige that the ministers dared not oppose the emperor, at least on the surface.

Just like in front of me, I merged a total of ten capitals in Beijing and Nanjing into five. No one objected to such a big move.

Forget it, the key is that I have built four new Governor's Houses, which is tantamount to publicly denying Xuanzong's national policy and reopening the Ming Dynasty's external expansion, and the ministers still don't object?

The more Zhu Qiyu thought about it, the more he scratched his head, and he began to miss Hu Wei and Yu Qian, Xuanzong's and orthodox cronies.

The group of ministers in front of them are good at everything, but they all belong to their newly promoted cronies, and they have always been embarrassed to quarrel with the emperor.

Seeing the embarrassing scene, Zhu Qiyu continued: "Including Ganzhou, Suzhou, and Liangzhou, the entire Hetao Corridor is under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Protectorate.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions was set up in Ganzhou, together with the seat of the Xingdu Division of Shaanxi.As for the name of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, I haven't figured it out yet.

There are too many places to adjust, so take your time bit by bit.I will tell you the big strategy first, and you can also raise your opinions. "

When Wang Wen heard this, he immediately replied: "Since the Three Dynasties, things in the northwest have been abandoned. Especially the Hetao and the Hexi Corridor, these two strategically important areas, have been constantly harassed by captives.

However, the emperor paid too much attention to Luchuan, and in the past ten years, he has assembled a large army to attack the southwest, so that the frontier crisis in the northwest has become increasingly serious.

From now on, the Military Governor's Mansion will be in charge of the Hetao defense, and the Western Regions Governor's Mansion will be used to manage the Hexi Corridor. This is exactly the grand event that the Holy Lord of Zhongxing should do.

The ministers and others are willing to assist the prime minister to fight against the four barbarians. "

Wang Wen directly expressed his opinion on behalf of everyone present.The rest of the people can only follow and shout the Son of Heaven Shengming.

Seeing that there was still no objection, Zhu Qiyu waved his hands and continued, "I want to establish the Annan Protectorate in the south to govern Jiaozhi and the surrounding small countries.

Including the Xuanwei Department of the Old Port, it is also under the jurisdiction of the Annan Protectorate. "

After saying this, Zhu Qiyu deliberately went to observe the expressions of everyone.

But the reaction of several important ministers was still very flat.

Once the Jiaozhi and Jiugang sent by Xuanzong are taken back, the voyage to the West will inevitably restart again.

The crowd didn't even have much eye contact, so Chen Xun came forward and replied to Zhu Qiyu: "The change of Tumubao, Jiaozhi, and the abandonment of the old port, one is the loss of teachers and humiliation of the country, and the other is the loss of land and humiliation of the country. All disasters are caused by traitors in the court. rise together.

The ministers are willing to be loyal ministers and assist His Majesty as the Holy Lord of Zhongxing. "

Zhu Qiyu was stunned when he heard the words, good guy, not only did his cronies and civil servants not object to him, they even drew inferences from one instance.

The meaning of Chen Xun's words is obviously to support the emperor's liquidation of the important officials of the Xuande and Zhengtong dynasties.

The group of people in front of them are the best of the best, and their routines are too deep.Zhu Qiyu pondered for a long time before he understood the way:

What Chen Xun really wanted to express was to ask Xuanzong and orthodox loyal officials such as Wang Zhi, Hu Wei, and Yu Qian not to return to the center at all.

In the center of Beijing, only the loyal ministers of Emperor Jingtai are enough.

Got it, got it, deal, deal again:

On the condition that Xuanzong and orthodox loyal ministers stay away from the temple, and Jingtai loyal ministers present are in high positions and will not change easily, in exchange for the important ministers present to support the emperor's conquest of the Quartet and the Western Ocean.

Moreover, the management of the Western Ocean must be distributed according to the benefits promised by Zhu Qiyu before, and the internal funds and the imperial court will jointly contribute, and all proceeds will belong to the imperial court.

Then, after the imperial court received the proceeds from the voyages to the West, in addition to subsidizing state affairs, it would continue to increase the salaries of all officials.

The civil servants have long thought about it, as long as the emperor strictly follows the promise, then everyone will not object to the voyage.If the succeeding emperor breaks the rules in the future, then the voyages to the West will be abolished at that time.

After all, the civil servants have already abolished it once, and if they can abolish the first time, they can naturally abolish the second time.

Besides, Zhu Qiyu is only 23 years old, and the important officials present are all in their fifties or sixties. In theory, everyone cannot survive Zhu Qiyu.

Therefore, for the ministers, as long as the current emperor and the next emperor are wise, it is enough to be responsible. As for the future emperor, that is what the next generation of ministers should worry about.

Chen Xun was the one who wanted to say the most: I am 65 years old, and I have become the chief assistant. As a civil servant, I am completely at my peak.After another five or six years in peace and stability, and then returning to my hometown with honor, my life will be complete.

After death, the emperor must also give a posthumous grand master or something, and everything will be beautiful before and after his death.

As for the future court situation?Feel free to!

The 23-year-old Youchunfang University scholar doesn't worry about the future. I, an old man who is about to enter the earth, what to do with my leisure.

Except for Chen Xun, the rest of Jiang Yuan, He Wenyuan and others were still relying on the emperor's trust to climb up the ladder, so naturally they were not interested in standing up and fighting the emperor.

Wang Wen, He Yi, and Huang Pu belonged to the emperor's cronies. No matter what the emperor did, they could not harm the interests of these people, and naturally it was even more impossible to stand up against the emperor.

There is no way, no one objected to what the emperor said now.People are cheap bones. When some important ministers sang against each other in the past, Zhu Qiyu wished he could send them all to Guangxi.Now that there is no one who opposes the emperor, Zhu Qiyu hopes that there will be two who are not afraid of death.

After adjusting his mood, Zhu Qiyu continued to say to Chen Xun: "Mr. Chen Ge, I remember that when Xiang Wenyao was in the Ministry of War, he was very valued by Shangshu.

Now that the Nanjing Jingying is reorganizing, there are many affairs and thousands of things. I plan to transfer Xiang Wenyao to the left servant of the Nanjing Military Department to assist Yu Shangshu in reorganizing the Jingying.

There is also Yu Shangshu's son-in-law, who seems to be called Zhu Ji, who belongs to Qianhu of Jinyiwei. I want to transfer him to Nanjing as well.On the one hand, Yu Shangshu and his family can be reunited without any worries.Secondly, there are many obstacles to reform, and Zhu Ji can also guarantee the safety of Yu Shangshu.

What do you think? "

When Chen Xun and others heard the words, they immediately shouted the Son of Heaven, Shengming.

The interests of the monarch and his ministers are highly consistent on this issue, and they both hope that Yu Qian and his cronies will leave Beijing completely.

Chen Xun and others also don't believe that Zhu Qiyu is really capable and motivated to fix the mess in Nanjing, so no matter what things are done in Nanjing, they can do whatever they want, as long as they don't make trouble in Beijing.

This small court meeting is really meaningless, Zhu Qiyu finally asked: "In the first half of this year, is there any important matter for the court to take care of?"

Zhu Qiyu himself was also curious, besides quelling the Miao Rebellion and eradicating Wala, what other important matters did the court have to do.
