Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 303 Zhu Qiyu's second sin
April 21.

Li Xian's mission returned to Beijing, which immediately caused an uproar.

The current situation has been calm for three months, and now the ruling and opposition parties finally can't hold back anymore.

The Emperor's faction once again ushered in an opportunity to attack the emperor.

The majestic emperor eventually became a shepherd beyond the Great Wall.If this goes further north, wouldn't it become "Su Wu shepherds the sheep".

This is really unreasonable, and the ministers used this as a reason to attack the emperor openly.

All the root causes of the Taishanghuang's current misery come from the emperor's unwillingness to fight and kill them all first.

Now that the civil uprising in the southeast has been suppressed, and the Miao chaos in the southwest has been temporarily pacified, the emperor has been reluctant to transfer back the 20 troops of Uncle Jingyuan and Marquis Ningyang.

In the morning, allusions alluding to the emperor had flooded into the cabinet.

After lunch, Zhu Qiyu came out slowly to deal with government affairs.

Although Zhu Qiyu emphasized many times that cabinet bachelors and six ministers do not need to go to the western suburbs every day, Chen Xun, Wang Wen and other important officials still came neatly, not a few of them.

In addition, Li Xian and Li Shi also came to return.

Zhu Qiyu ordered Li Xian and Li Shi to wait on the first floor, while he met Chen Xun and others on the third floor first.

Chen Xun first described the reaction of the government and the opposition: "Yexian has completely torn his face, and all the slaves and supplies of the Supreme Emperor have been repatriated. Now the Supreme Emperor is alone, hanging outside the Great Wall, and shepherds sheep for a living all day, without any dignity.

The emperor's tragic experience has exceeded the tolerance limit of most courtiers.This not only damages the majesty and dignity of Daming, but also insults and tramples on the Supreme Emperor.

The common people in the capital are equally furious, no one can tolerate such an experience for the former emperor.

The cabinet and the six ministries, as well as the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Honglu Temple are under great pressure, and I ask your Majesty to make a decision early. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, it's my fault that I couldn't welcome back the Supreme Emperor. Then I will issue another edict of guilt."

"Ah? What did you say, Your Majesty?"

For a moment, Chen Xun thought that he had heard wrong, or had hallucinations.It's not discussed yet, the emperor will issue an imperial edict as soon as he comes up?

Is it a good thing to issue an imperial edict, why does it feel that the emperor is still a little impatient.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu emphasized it again: "Recently, I have been introspecting myself every day, and I feel that it is too early to make the Supreme Emperor suffer outside the Great Wall and not be able to return to Beijing for a long time.

The cabinet hastened to draw up an edict, and issued the edict of guilt tomorrow morning, and then ordered Uncle Jingyuan's army to retreat immediately.

However, Uncle Jingyuan did not need to return to Beijing, he directly led his army to Ganzhou, and after a short rest, he went out to attack Yexian's stronghold: Tieguliangti.

The cabinet and the six ministries must fully cooperate and dispatch enough military equipment, food and grass. For this battle, we must wipe out the remnants first, and welcome the emperor back to Beijing. "

Speaking of this, everyone present was a little confused: Is the emperor really serious?This is not like the emperor's behavior style.

Now the emperor's status is not yet stable, and he has no heirs.If the Taishanghuang is welcomed back, just wait for the Ming Dynasty to fall into endless internal strife.

The cabinet and the six ministries are all members of the emperor. From the bottom of their hearts, no one wants the emperor to return to Beijing.

Zhu Qiyu had other considerations.First of all, there is the issue of incriminating oneself. This is paving the way for the future Supreme Emperor to issue an incriminating edict, which can also be understood as throwing bricks to attract jade.

Now that I have issued an edict of sinning myself many times, it will not seem so abrupt when the Supreme Emperor issues an edict of sinning against myself.It will not make people think that he forced the Supreme Emperor to issue an imperial edict.

After all, the emperor issued an imperial edict of sin three or four times, and the Supreme Emperor had such a great sin, so the next edict of sin against himself does not seem to be too much.

As for sending Wang Ji to lead the army to completely wipe it out, let alone the vast grasslands, there are also horses with hands, feet, and horses, and they will not wait to be chopped down like logs. How could it be so easy for an army of [-] surround it.

Besides, whether Wang Ji is willing to do his best to rescue the Supreme Emperor is still a question.

After this suppression of the Miao Rebellion, Zhu Qiyu had already understood that Wang Ji was not very loyal to the Supreme Emperor.

If Wang Ji is really devoted to the Supreme Emperor, then he will definitely not be the biggest winner in suppressing the Miao chaos:
The original defenders of the Xuan Mansion, Yang Hong's direct descendants, have all been wiped out.

Liu Pu, Marquis of Anyuan, an in-law and confidant of the Supreme Emperor, died in battle.

King Xiang, the most staunch supporter of the Supreme Emperor among the vassals, was attacked and captured. Although he was redeemed, his body and mind and reputation were greatly damaged, and he could no longer stand up.

And Shi Heng, Sun Tong, Liu Yongcheng, Yang Shan, Jin Ying, and Xing'an were defeated again, and they had completely lost their original pride.

Arrogant soldiers and powerful generals are the most difficult to manage.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu told Chen Xun: "Let Yang Shan, Jin Ying, and Xing'an return to Beijing. Shi Heng stationed in Xiangyang and took over the [-] new troops in Xiangyang. Sun Tong succeeded Liu Pu, Marquis of Anyuan, and guarded Guangxi. Liu Yongcheng led the army to station Yunnan.

Uncle Jingyuan led the main force of the [-] Ming army to station in Ganzhou, preparing for the Northern Expedition first.Ningyang Hou Dajun returned to Nanjing and reorganized the Nanjing Jingying together with Yu Qian.

Yang Hong and Yang Jie were interrogated by the three courts. After being convicted, they were escorted to Xuanfu and executed Ling Chi.

Guo Jing, the former guard eunuch of Datong, has been imprisoned without any treatment, and now he is being taken to Xuanfu Lingchi together. "

The minister sighed in his heart when he heard this, the emperor, alas, first apologized before killing, and just after issuing the edict of sinning himself, he immediately followed up with killing to establish his prestige.

Zhu Qiyu immediately added: "The charges against Yang Hong and his son are colluding with Wala, betraying the Ming army, smuggling arms, harming the country and benefiting the enemy.

Just these sixteen characters, don't talk about anything else. "

This is the lesson Zhu Qiyu learned from Chongzhen.Chongzhen insisted on accusing the governor of Dadu a bunch of crimes by talking about things, but in the end, let people overturn the case.

You have said so much, and the people of later generations will not be able to remember it.The result is that the main points are not prominent at all, which gives others room to confuse the public.

This is to cover everything, equal to not being able to cover everything.

In fact, don't pursue anything else, as long as you cling to Guangning Youtunwei, neither of the two governors who sent food and grass to Houjin can escape, and no one can reverse the case.

When Zhu Qiyu came here, he stopped doing so many bells and whistles. The conviction for Yang Hong was collusion with Wala, don't talk about anything else.

Future generations want to reverse the case?Then turn it over, I want to see how you clean it.

After dealing with all this, Zhu Qiyu ordered someone to call Li Xian and Li Shi up, and then acted as if he was extremely concerned, and listened to the two describe the tragic experience of the Supreme Emperor in detail.

Unexpectedly, she really heard what Zhu Qiyu wanted.During Li Shiwara's period, he once earnestly persuaded the Supreme Emperor to issue an edict to sin against himself, and completely gave up power, living in a secluded palace, and caring for the rest of his life.

It's a pity that the Supreme Emperor was very reluctant, and still had great expectations for the crown prince Zhu Jianshen to ascend the throne, and then the Supreme Emperor would be regent and regain power.

Zhu Qiyu also felt very helpless, things have come to this point, it would be great to go directly to Fengyang Palace to enjoy life comfortably, why bother to force me to kill them all.
