Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 406 Brainstorming for the benefit of the beloved concubine and offering advice
"But who is to catch the poisoner?"

Zhu Qiyu was holding the secret letter in his hand, but he was in trouble.

Seeing Zhu Qiyu frowning and thinking hard there, Lin Xiangyu not only didn't help think of an idea, but also teased:

"Besides Wang Cheng and the four of them, my husband still has a small group of confidants in the palace. It's fine to send them to catch them."

Zhu Qiyu became anxious when he heard that: "That can't be done. Let them do it. What if they are retaliated against afterwards? It's not like you don't know that in the inner court, people are about to die at every turn, and they all die quietly.

Those confidantes are all hard-core direct descendants. When I was a child, there were only so many eunuchs around me. If one dies, one will be lost. When the time comes, where will I make up for it? "

Qianxue answered, "Do you want to use the neutral faction? Like Ruan An and Chen Mian?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "If they can wade through this muddy water, can they still be called neutrals?"

When it comes to the battles in the inner court and the harem, discussions and discussions are not regarded as meddling in politics. The favorite concubines brainstormed and all came up with ideas.Even Suxi, who has always hated intrigue, offered a trick:

"How about looking for it from the eunuchs who are trusted by Emperor Gongrang? Xing'an, Chen Xiang, Ruan Lang, Cao Jixiang and others may not be monolithic. Are there no conflicts between them? Are they not infighting?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled wryly and shook his head: "It's difficult, brothers fight against the wall and defend against the outside world together. Guo Jia said that if the external pressure is really too great, even half-brothers will temporarily stop their internal fighting."

Qianxue and Suxi asked in unison: "Then what should I do? Even my husband can't do anything?"

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands helplessly.

When several people were tangled together, Ning Xiang turned her head slightly, and said with a smile to Zhu Qiyu: "Husband, I know a good way."

"Ah? How do you know? Tell me, if you speak well, I will reward you a lot."

Ning Xiang smiled and said: "Didn't Ningyang Hou send a group of young eunuchs from Fujian last year, and they were all assigned to the dorms of the Empress Dowager, Emperor Gongrang, and Empress Zhou a few days ago.

Among them are three young eunuchs named Zhang Min, Zhang Qing, and Zhang Ben, who are brothers of the same clan.

Zhang Min was assigned to Nangong, Zhang Ben was assigned to Yinghua Palace, and Zhang Qing was assigned to Kunning Palace.

Didn't my husband say that arresting the poisoned person might lead to retaliation? Even if Zhang Min of Nangong was killed, at least his brothers Zhang Ben and Zhang Qing would avenge him. "

"Shan, I didn't expect that concubine Ai, who is usually soft and weak and submissive, has such a brain."

With a solution, Zhu Qiyu handed the secret letter to Qianxue: "Hurry up and burn the secret letter to avoid leaking the secret.

Brothers Zhang Min, Zhang Qing, and Zhang Ben came from the Salvation Department.

They were recorded under the names of Zhang An, the left palm of the Xinxin Department, and Zhang Xing, the right palm of the Department.

Let Zhang An and Zhang Xing call Zhang Min. "

Qianxue asked again: "Should we wait for the Shangshan supervisor to poison the prince before arresting him, or arrest him before he is successfully poisoned?"

"Hey……"

Zhu Qiyu smiled wryly and shook his head, cutting the weeds does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates.It's still fun to learn from Xuanzong. On the day Hanwang was roasted, there seemed to be seven or eight of his sons on the road with him.

Seeing this, Qianxue nodded: "My family understands, when the poisoner brings the poisoned food, he will do it immediately, and the stolen goods will be taken.

Then he was immediately escorted to the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. "

"good!"

Zhu Qiyu stared at his favorite concubines one by one and took a closer look. These top beauties are all talents.

Not only Jinyiwei and the Criminal Ministry have prisons, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate also has prisons.

After catching the poisoned eunuch, he bypassed the Imperial Prison of Jinyiwei, bypassed the prison of the Ministry of Punishments, and sent him directly to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

There are three advantages: one is to prevent the inner court from interfering.Those great eunuchs might be able to exert influence over Jin Yiwei, but the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate would not listen to a group of eunuchs.

Secondly, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is now run by Wang Wen.The trial of the case is relatively controllable.

Third, the trial by the Metropolitan Procuratorate makes it easier for the news to spread among civil and military officials and expand its influence.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu smiled at Qianxue: "Let's do it this way, you and Ningxiang will be rewarded for your meritorious contributions."

After Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, he saw Lin Xiangyu looking at him with surprised eyes.

"What's the matter, Concubine Ai, what are you doing looking at me like this? At worst, I'll just give you some more tomorrow. Are you so anxious to want it?"

Lin Xiangyu shook her head: "No, sir, have you calculated everything from the beginning?"

"What am I doing?"

Lin Xiangyu counted with her fingers: "First, my husband, you inserted Gao Ping'an into the Queen Mother's Palace without knowing it, and became the chief eunuch.

Second, you asked Ruan Xi to form a clean army to patrol the palaces every night, so that you can pass information to Gao Ping very conveniently.

Third, you made the emperor, prince, and prince seriously ill and showed weakness everywhere, weakening the status of Wang Cheng and the others, and allowing Jin Ying, Xing'an and others to become the eunuchs in power in the inner court again.

Fourth, you sent Wang Cheng and the others out of Beijing to make Jin Ying, Xing'an and others relax their vigilance.

Fifth, you appointed Jin Ying to be the eunuch in charge of Shangshan Supervisor.

Sixth, you successfully sent the little eunuchs presented by Marquis Ningyang and Uncle Jingyuan to Nangong, Yinghuadian and Kunninggong.

Seventh, these young eunuchs were initially placed in the Xixin Division. The three brothers Zhang Min, Zhang Ben, and Zhang Qing were young eunuchs under the names of Zhang An and Zhang Xing.

Zhang An and Zhang Xing are both under the name of Zhang Yong, and Zhang Yong is your confidant.

In other words, you are actually controlling these little eunuchs through Zhang Yong.

This step by step is intertwined, has the husband already calculated it from the beginning? "

It was exposed so quickly, but there is nothing to hide from his own woman, Zhu Qiyu could only smile and said:

"I just played a few idle moves. But it was really Ningxiang's idea to use Zhang Min to catch the poisoned person. I never thought of using Zhang Min here before."

Lin Xiangyu praised after hearing the words: "This emperor's mind is really unfathomable, and my family is more and more admired by my husband."

Zhu Qiyu smiled shyly: "Aifei help me change my clothes, I'm going out to face those old foxes. They are so skilled, whether I can beat them or not is up to you."

Not long after, Zhu Qiyu had breakfast, dressed neatly, came to Qingyun Pavilion, and leaned on the soft couch to watch the lake and mountains.

Waiting for work at leisure, ready for today's court meeting.

In today's court meeting, fierce confrontation must be indispensable.

After waiting for more than an hour, the ministers finally arrived.

What is different from the past is that not only all the people came today, but also many, and there are several new faces.

In addition to Chen Xun, Wang Wen, Jiang Yuan, He Wenyuan, etc., today there are also the royal censor Kou Shen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Xiao Weizhen, the minister of Dali Temple, Xue Xuan, the minister of Dali Temple in Nanjing, Wei Ji, Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing, and Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing. .

In addition, Wang Yue, Yu Zijun, Gao Yao, Wang Xian, Sheng Yong, and Ma Wensheng were responsible for the records.

At the first sentence of the opening, Zhu Qiyu smiled at everyone: "The thing to be said today is very important, and you have seen the six Zhongshu Sheren, they are responsible for recording.

Every word I say today, and every word you Aiqing say, will be recorded verbatim.In the future, this will all be included in the history books, so please think about it before you talk about it.

We are not in a hurry today, everyone can think slowly, speak slowly, answer slowly, and I will not rush you.But as long as you speak out, you have to be responsible for your own words. "

Yu Shiyue, Zou Gan and the others who were still thinking about attacking the emperor were stunned when they heard this.

The emperor gave him a big blow right from the start, if he said one wrong sentence today, basically his entire career would be ruined. "

Zhu Qiyu smiled at the crowd and said, "I should say it first, or Qing and others."

When everyone heard the words, they looked at each other in blank dismay.Everyone originally wanted to speak enthusiastically, but after being so intimidated by the emperor, they all backed down a bit.

At this time, Wei Ji stood up and took the lead in playing, saying: "Report to Your Majesty, the old minister has something to play."

"Aiqing, please speak."

"I ask the imperial court to present Huang Fu, the former Minister of Industry, and Chen Qia, the former Minister of Military Affairs, as gifts and posthumous posthumous posthumous titles. I also hope for the approval of the Holy One."
