Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 342 Duke Mu Bin died of a sudden illness and the emperor took the opportunity to pave the way for his son
This question left Zhu Qiyu speechless again.

After being dazed for a long while, Zhu Qiyu replied in a broken jar: "It was discussed with the cabinet at that time, there are a total of eighteen fellow examiners, I will set four places, and let the cabinet decide the remaining fourteen.

How about this, I will designate Xu Youzhen, Xu Zheng, and Huang Jian as the same examiners.

Then the cabinet ministers, except Chen Xun, Wang Wen, and He Wenyuan, all served as fellow examiners.

In this way, you and Huang Pu will occupy the same examiner quota in the cabinet.

Xu Zheng and Huang Jian also followed me quite early on. We can't just give others heavy responsibilities and deny them a chance. "

He Yi nodded, admiring the emperor in his heart was because he was honest.In fact, the emperor can resolve this kind of matter with one word, and he doesn't have to care about how it was discussed before.

Zhu Qiyu added: "Let Chen Xun and Hu Wei go to Datong to meet the Supreme Emperor; let Wang Wen and He Wenyuan be the chief examiners of the general examination.

Let Liu Jing, Menda, Lu Gao, and Lu Zhong lead [-] brocade guards to go with Chen Xun and Hu Wei.

As for which nobles and eunuchs to go to greet him, the eunuchs let Jin Ying and Xing'an go, and the nobles send the British Duke Zhang Zhong, Chengshan Hou Wangtong, and Gongshun Hou Wu Jin to go. "

Overall, Zhu Qiyu didn't intend to irritate Zhu Qizhen too much on the way back to Beijing.As long as he honestly writes the edict of guilt with his own hand, and then cooperates with acting well, then hello, hello, hello everyone, the necessary decency will still be left for him.

After discussing these things, Zhu Qiyu went home to rest.

Speechless for a day.

In the early morning of the next day, when Zhu Qiyu was sleeping soundly, Qianxue rushed over to shake her.

The boss Zhu Qiyu was reluctant: "My concubine Yu, other women are all tasters, you are not like that, why are you so clingy.

As for squeezing it like this, at least wait for me to recharge my batteries. "

Qianxue replied helplessly: "Is my husband so self-indulgent since he was a child? You should read the urgent military newspaper. The six-hundred-mile express delivery came from Yunnan."

"Oh, there is a military newspaper. I thought you wanted me to work. It's just that there is something big going on in Yunnan. As for using six hundred miles to expedite it.

Oh, it really does not make people feel safe, read it, I just listen to it. "

Qianxue heard the words, opened the seal, took out the military newspaper, read it carefully, and then replied: "Husband, Duke Qian Mu Bin died of illness."

"what?"

Zhu Qiyu sat up when he heard the words.

Now the fun is great, the place in Yunnan is not stable, and now that Mu Bin, the Duke of Guizhou, is dead, and the chieftains in Yunnan have to find trouble if they are not good.

Zhu Qiyu asked again: "Where is the son of Duke Qian Mu Bin? What does the Mu family say?"

Qianxue spread her hands helplessly: "Mu Bin's son Mu Cong was just born last year, so he definitely won't be able to become a noble for the time being. Even if the husband forces him to become a noble, he won't be able to take care of things in ten or eight years.

The Mu family didn't know what to do, so they wrote a letter to ask the holy judge. "

Zhu Qiyu frowned and thought for a while, before replying: "Let's talk about the matter of attacking the noble, first order Liu Chang to select a group of capable personal guards, and go to Yunnan to bring Mu Cong to the capital.

Let's feed ourselves.

Originally, we already had Duke Ying, Duke Ding, Duke Cao, and Duke Anguo on our side.

Now that there are more Qian Guogongs, they will have an absolute advantage over the Emperor's faction.

Let Mu Cong grow up with the prince since he was a child, so that the prince will be able to help him more in the future. "

Qianxue asked curiously: "Does the husband want to consider Mu Cong as an adopted son?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "I don't think it's okay to be an adopted son. Mu Cong is my younger brother, so I can't mess with my seniority."

"what?"

Qianxue was a little puzzled when she heard the words.

Zhu Qiyu explained with a smile: "Qianning Wang Muying is the adopted son of the Taizu, we have to strictly count according to this seniority. If you consider Mu Cong as the adopted son, it is tantamount to denying that Mu Ying is the adopted son of the Taizu. How can you do that?" okay.

When you become an emperor, you have to respect old feelings and talk about seniority.Mu Cong can only be my younger brother. As the patriarch of the entire clan of Daming and the noble group, I must do my best to raise Mu Cong into a mature man. This is an inescapable duty.

To put it simply, you little sisters-in-law, you have to be like your mother. "

Qianxue smiled wryly and said, "Why does it sound weird, but my family never dreamed that one day I would be obliged to support the Duke."

"This world is so wonderful, all right, let's make arrangements."

After watching Qianxue go out, Zhu Qiyu began to worry again, because things happened in a hurry, and he had to find someone to guard Yunnan.

It will take at least another 13 years for Mu Cong to be able to stand on his own, until Mu Cong is 14 years old.

This is Zhu Qiyu's conclusion based on the age of the Ming emperor.

The inheritance of the titles of these honorable families is actually the same as the inheritance of the throne.Once the young master succeeds, there will be constant struggles.

Before the young master was 14 years old, he was also very passive.

Here we have to talk about our poor Emperor Wanli who is so speechless.

Wanli succeeded to the throne at the age of ten, and by coincidence, he met those three peerless wonders.

It really takes bad luck to an astonishing degree.

Great eunuch Feng Bao, how should I say it.Cao Jixiang was the only eunuch who rebelled within a thousand years, and he deservedly ranked first among all the eunuchs in Ming Dynasty.

The next most wonderful thing should be Feng Baomo.

Every emperor of the Ming Dynasty had companions when he was a child. According to the logic of normal people, these companions should follow the emperor all the way to the dark.

The most representative one is Wang Chengen. Even if the city of Beijing was destroyed, Wang Chengen chose to die with Chongzhen.

But there are always exceptions to everything. A Feng Bao and a Wang An, as the emperor's companions, did not follow the emperor, but rushed to collude with the ministers. How strange it is.

Why are there two such oddities?That's because Wang An was born under Feng Bao's name, which is equivalent to Feng Bao's godson, and the logic of this behavior is inherited.

If Zhang Juzheng was a little more reliable, it would be fine if Feng Bao colluded with Zhang Juzheng.

But Zhang Juzheng came up with a sentence: I am not a phase, but a photographer.

Is this a human saying? Zhuge Liang is in charge of state affairs. He has so much power that he has never said that he is the regent.

Sometimes Zhu Qiyu appreciates Wanli very much. It is really benevolent to have no barbarians and Zhang Juzheng clan.

Moreover, after Wanli was beaten up by the strange iron triangle of Empress Dowager Li, Zhang Juzheng, and Feng Bao to the point where his mentality collapsed, he was still very kind.

Such a good person, I don't even understand why Queen Mother Li insisted on joining hands with Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao to practice Wanli together, and even practiced it to death.

As for why Zhu Qiyu kept thinking about these things, it was because he was about to have a son.

I have to act first and pave the way for my son quickly.Even if something goes wrong with me, I have to make sure my son doesn't fall into the same predicament as Wanli.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu became motivated again. This time, he must select one or two national scholars for his son.
