Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 365 The Banquet is Over
When hunting in the grassland, Zhu Qizhen really felt that it would be good to return to Beijing and be an ordinary citizen.

But as soon as he returned to the capital, Zhu Qizhen's mentality changed immediately.

After trying the taste of power, how can it be so easy to quit.

In particular, Zhu Qizhen has held the supreme imperial power for eight years, and he has a deep sense of taste and cannot give up.

Seeing that his younger brother has already agreed to participate in political affairs, but a minister of the Hanlin Academy in Xu Jue dared to jump out and openly object, Zhu Qizhen suddenly became angry in his heart, and his eyes began to glance at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, looking at him. Let's see who will stand up and demand justice for himself.

Because Xu Youzhen is so inconspicuous in the orthodox court, although Zhu Qizhen knows Xu Youzhen, he neither knows that she has changed her name, nor does she know that she has been promoted two levels in a row, from the sixth rank to the fourth rank. Youqian Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.Not to mention that Xu Youzhen will continue to be promoted soon.

In the seventh year of Zhengtong, the Ming Dynasty had been in peace for a long time, and the frontiers were idle, and the southwest was constantly using troops. Xu Youzhen was deeply worried, and made a briefing on the five military and political affairs.Although Zhu Qizhen praised it, he didn't accept it.

For a long time, Zhu Qizhen looked down on Xu Youzhen.Xu Youzhen was a Jinshi from the age of 27, and she was still a small servant in the Hanlin Academy until she was 43 years old.It wasn't until last year when Zhu Qiyu was sent to Shandong to control the river that he finally started the road to rise.

Moreover, Xu Youzhen also made a statement about moving south after the Tumu Fort change. It was Zhu Qiyu who bore the pressure of public opinion between the government and the opposition and carried it for him.

So Zhu Qiyu is also considered to be kind to Xu Youzhen.

Historically, Xu Youzhen fell to Zhu Qizhen in the change of seizing the door, largely because Jingtai insisted on Xu Youzhen's remarks about moving south, and he refused to let Xu Youzhen be promoted.Xu Youzhen even persuaded Chen Xun and Yu Qian to recommend herself, but Jingtai firmly rejected it.

The future of a bad guy is like killing his parents. It's really no wonder Xu Youzhen is not loyal to Jingtai.

But the current Zhu Qiyu is totally different, he is single-mindedly optimistic about Xu Youzhen, which has reached a level that others cannot understand.

Zhu Qizhen looked back and forth for a long time, but not a single minister was willing to stand up and refute Xu Youzhen.

Soon Zhu Qizhen figured it out: Xu Youzhen represented the meaning of the emperor, and one of them sang good faces and the other sang bad faces.It not only maintained the emperor's dignity, but also refused to intervene in politics.

Of course, Zhu Qiyu also had a meaning of asking Xu Youzhen to vote for a certificate, which was difficult to detect from Zhu Qizhen's perspective.

In short, Zhu Qizhen is now finally under the backlash of the emperor's supreme authority.

In the past, when Zhu Qizhen favored Wang Zhen and suppressed the officials, he even asked the officials to kneel when they saw Wang Zhen.At the most extreme moment, Wang Zhen, a mere eunuch, was able to wantonly bully the British Duke Zhang Fu.

This is the power of imperial power in the early Ming Dynasty, supreme, no one can directly contend.Even if it is just a eunuch favored by the emperor, he can surpass all officials.

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi.

Feng Shui turns, and now the backlash has finally come.

Zhu Qiyu changed from a lowly prince to a great son of heaven, grasping the supreme authority.

Just like Zhu Qizhen's orthodox era, today's civil and military officials also dare not resist the authority of Emperor Jingtai.

Seeing that the scene was in extreme embarrassment, Zhu Qiyu pretended to reprimand Xu Youzhen a few words without pain or itching, then skipped the topic, and continued to smile to Zhu Qizhen:

"Brother, the Ministry of Rites has drawn up regulations, and every festival in the future, civil and military officials will congratulate brother.

In addition, the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple will send full-time officials to be on duty in Nangong. You can summon clan honorables, civil and military officials, and envoys from foreign vassals at any time through the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple.

The Ministry of Industry has already worked with the Internal Officials to repair the Nangong. If there is any dissatisfaction with the elder brother, he will order the Internal Officials to make changes. "

Zhu Qiyu thought very clearly, instead of waiting for the ministers to write to ask Zhu Qizhen to congratulate him, it is better to propose it himself.Anyway, I can't stop it, so I might as well be more magnanimous and get a good reputation.

Sure enough, the civil and military officials present all nodded secretly when they heard the emperor's words, showing relief on their faces.

And Zhu Qizhen himself was overjoyed, he didn't expect that his brother was really generous to the point of stupidity.

Only Empress Dowager Sun frowned and remained silent.Only Mrs. Sun, who had fought against Zhu Qiyu many times, knew best that this emperor who became a monk halfway through was definitely not someone who was easy to deal with.

Sun's heart was full of helplessness and puzzlement, obviously Zhu Qiyu was raised as a fool since he was a child, how come he was as smart as a ghost when he became the emperor, he would not be fooled by any pits dug for him.

It is also to blame that Sun's control over the harem was too strong back then, so that none of Xuanzong's concubines in the palace could successfully give birth to heirs.

Although Xuanzong was obsessed with the Sun family, he couldn't bear it in the end. After all, the dignified emperor had only one son, and the risk was too great.

Once something happened to the only son, the fun would be great.

So Xuanzong began to look for women outside the palace, and finally Wu gave birth to the second prince Zhu Qiyu.

What happened later proved that Xuanzong's worries were completely justified.

However, the powerful Sun family once refused to recognize Zhu Qiyu's mother and son, and even kept him out of the palace.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu has never lived in the imperial palace since he was a child, and he has become the only emperor in the history of Ming Dynasty who did not pursue a nanny.

It's not because Zhu Qiyu doesn't miss old love, but because he doesn't have a nanny at all.

Now Mrs. Sun thinks that it is because Zhu Qiyu was used to being outside since he was a child that he rejects the Forbidden City so much, and would rather live in the wilderness than enter the imperial city.

Sun also regretted the jealousy of his wife at the beginning.It's better to take Zhu Qiyu into the palace from the beginning.

Raised in the deep palace and grown in the hands of women, the children who grow up like this are good children.

Zhu Qizhen is not as pessimistic as Sun's since he has not faced his younger brother head-on.After accepting his younger brother's kindness, he stopped touching on sensitive topics and began to concentrate on performing brothers and sisters with Zhu Qiyu.

The atmosphere of the banquet gradually became lively.

After the banquet was over, Zhu Qiyu led everyone to respectfully send Zhu Qizhen and Qian Shi into Nangong.

Nangong is the Emperor Taisun Palace specially built for Xuanzong when Taizong built the imperial city of Beijing.At this time, Zhu Qizhen moved into Nangong, and it can be regarded as returning to his roots, returning to his old house.

The family members, nobles, and civil and military ministers also walked around inside. After confirming that Nangong was indeed resplendent and extravagant, not inferior to the Forbidden City at all, they were all speechless.

It is indeed very rare for the emperor to do this.

As long as from now on, respectfully let the emperor keep his own place, do not fight or grab, and enjoy the glory and wealth in this way.In the country, in the family, and in the people of the world, there is an explanation.

Being able to maintain decency and respect integrity at the same time, the ministers are completely at ease.
