Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 454 Wala please Feng Gong to let the illegitimate son and imperial concubine drive back to the capital
Zhu Qiyu thought for a while, and then asked: "Let's not mention the matter of returning Sufan's guards until the mutiny is over. I also want to see King Su's performance in this mutiny."

Suxi nodded, took another note and read it again, and then said with a smile: "Today we all got together, King Lu played on Tang Jie's behalf, and asked my husband to allow Tang Jie to inherit the title of Duke of Xinguo."

Zhu Qiyu smiled wryly when he heard the words: "King Lu is really lenient."

"Why does King Lu meddle in this business?"

"The vassal kings and nobles of the Ming Dynasty are deeply intertwined, and connections can be drawn anywhere.

The second daughter of Xin Guogong Tang He, married the first Lu Wang and became a princess.

Now the second-generation King Lu was not born to Tang He's daughter, but to a side concubine.

The first generation of King Lu was born to Concubine Guo Ning, the great ancestor, and Concubine Guo Ning was the younger sister of Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding.

All this nonsense is all about relationships.As an emperor, he had to deal with these worldly affairs every day. "

"Then do you want to agree to Tang Jie's attacking the prince?"

Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "I have already given their family a chance. Before Wala besieged the capital, I specially ordered people to invite these old nobles to enter King Qinqin.

What can I do if they don't come?If Tang Jie had come to the capital at that time, I wouldn't have him rushing into battle and fighting bloody battles. Even if he just found a knife and waved it randomly on the battlefield, I would have given him back the dukedom of Xinguo long ago. "

Suxi asked: "Then reject him?"

Zhu Qiyu covered his face and replied: "That's not okay either. His family is different from others, they have neither committed crimes nor expelled their nobles.

It was because the males in their family always died young, which resulted in the failure to win the title.

In the orthodox dynasty, Tang Jie finally grew up and asked to become a prince.

My good elder brother dismissed the title of Lord Xin Guogong on the grounds that there has been no successor for 40 years, so that he will not be inherited at all.

Therefore, Xin Guogong's family is purely unlucky. His family's annual salary is three thousand shi, and the elder brother is very fond of money, and he is unwilling to let others take over the title.

I can't be as unreasonable as my elder brother, and I will let Tang Jie succeed in the end.

However, human nature is cheap, as soon as Tang Jie's upper lip touches his lower lip, I will give him the title.Not only will he not appreciate me, but he will also think that I am weak and deceitful.

Forget it, let the memorial of King Lu go to the court for discussion, and let Tang Jie see the dangers of the courtiers first.

In this way, when he is restored to the title, he can find out who gave him food. "

Suxi nodded with a smile, took another playbook and read it again, but this time Suxi covered her mouth and started laughing.

Zhu Qiyu shivered in fright: "My good lady, what's the matter, don't scare me, I can't help tormenting already."

Suxi replied with a smile: "The descendants of Wu Liang, Marquis of Jiangyin, and Wu Zhen, Marquis of Jinghai wrote a letter requesting to take over the title."

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu snatched the silk handkerchief from Lin Xiangyu's hand, lay down on the couch vigorously, covered her face with the silk handkerchief, and lamented:
"Oh, my God, it's full of debt collectors in the early morning. I can't live through this day, I can't live, I'm going to die, let me die."

"Then reject them?"

"What's the point of refusing, our Daming will soon be troubled by Japanese pirates. This Marquis of Jinghai is very good at water warfare. I don't know if his descendants have passed on the family tradition.

Go to court, and I will meet them in person after the mutiny is over.

Besides, Jinghaihou's daughter is the concubine of Xiang Wang.

The king of Xiang was originally a virtuous king of a generation who was talented in civil and military affairs, refined and filial, but was forced by Jianwen to set himself on fire with his family.

Now he wants to compensate King Xiang, but he can't find any direct descendants.Let the Jinghaihou family receive this kindness, and it can also show the world the closeness of our family.

That's it, I'm going to sleep, I'm so bored.What's the matter, let's talk about it after the mutiny is over and the dynasty is restored. "

Zhu Qiyu covered his face and sighed, Qianxue and Suxi continued to read the playbook.

Su Xi suddenly exclaimed: "Husband, there is also the cover book, you must read it."

Zhu Qiyu replied angrily: "Who wants to restore the title again, I don't want to hear it anymore."

Suxi smiled and said, "Is this time asking for the restoration of the title, but asking for a new crown prince?"

"The new prince?"

Zhu Qiyu was very surprised, now the emperor Gongrang has only one son left, and he has already become the crown prince.Then only his eldest son is eligible to be named prince.

It's not the New Year's Day, so is there anyone else who dares to invite him to be a prince?

Zhu Qiyu racked his brains and couldn't figure out who else was qualified to be named prince, but at the same time, the four favorite concubines were already laughing.

Zhu Qiyu was very surprised, so he tore off the champagne covering his head, sat up, and took the memorabilia to check it himself.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

It turned out to be Yexian's eldest son, Huo'er Huda, who asked the emperor's son to stay on the grassland to be a prince.

Zhu Qiyu also laughed.

"The next court discussion, the next court discussion, the next court discussion, such a good thing, must go to the court to discuss."

……

For the next few days, nothing happened.

On June 26, Prince Qi's Mansion sent a carriage to the ceremonial room to pick up the beautiful women for the banquet, but no one went, which was passed down as a joke in the capital.

On June 27, the king of Shu arrived in Beijing, and all the princes, which were rare in the history of Ming Dynasty, gathered in the capital.

On June 28, Shi Biao arrived in Datong, and Guo Deng hurriedly completed the handover and set off for Beijing.

On the same day, after a court discussion and made by Emperor Gongrang, all the requests of the old honored nobles to inherit the title were rejected.

As for Huo'er's sudden reply to respectfully let the emperor's son who stayed in Wala ask for the title of prince, the civil and military officials were noncommittal.

This matter was also passed down as a laughing stock in the capital.

On June 29, Shi Heng, Ren Li, Sun Ting, Liu Yongcheng, Mao Zhong, and Cao Jixiang completed the assembly of the Tongzhou Beijing Army, and were preparing to march outside Chaoyang Gate on the first day of July to accept the emperor's inspection.

On the same day, Gongrang's vassals, nobles, and military generals from the emperor's faction completed the series, ready to put all their eggs in one basket.

……

June [-]th, early in the morning.

Zhu Qizhen woke up early, tomorrow is the most critical day, anyone would be too nervous to sleep.

Zhu Qizhen called Ruan Lang and Ma Liang first and said: "You two go to Jingling and pay homage to the late emperor on my behalf."

Ruan Lang and Ma Liang looked at each other when they heard the words.No year or festival, what to do to worship Jingling properly?
Zhu Qizhen explained patiently: "Hey, this is to keep the two of you away from right and wrong, and to separate the relationship. If I lose, the prince will entrust you two to take care of it."

When Ruan Lang and Ma Liang heard this, they knelt on the ground and began to cry.

Zhu Qizhen was even more upset: "Stop howling, it's just being prepared for danger in times of peace. Tomorrow's big event, I have at least a [-]% chance of winning."

Ruan Lang and Ma Liang stopped their tears and went down to get ready.

Zhu Qizhen summoned Xing'an and Chen Xiang to make arrangements: "Tomorrow Chen Xiang will wait by my side and be responsible for leading people to control the feudal lords attending the banquet.

Xing'an opened the gate of the palace, joined forces with the family members led by Cao Qin to control the imperial city, and took the Queen Mother to Fengtian Gate. "

After ordering the two of them, Zhu Qizhen sighed heavily: There are too few eunuchs available around him. In just three years, the three most powerful eunuchs in the inner court: Wang Zhen, Fan Hong, and Jin Ying, all disappeared.

Among Jinyiwei, only a few people such as Ma Liang, Ha Ming, Menda, and Lu Zhong are willing to follow.

Yuan Bin opposed the mutiny and had been placed under house arrest in Nangong.

Although Liu Jing and Menda are in-laws, but his attitude is ambiguous, Zhu Qizhen dare not pull him in.

There is also Lu Gao, who used to dispose of the Prince Tan's mansion for the emperor and did dirty work, so he was on a thief ship and could never get off.

There are only so many people who rely on surprise and speed.

……

When it was almost noon, the Wucheng Bingma Si and Jin Yiwei launched martial law throughout the city.

In the afternoon, [-] Yingzhou guards escorted the emperor's chariot, the dowager's chariot, and the imperial concubine's chariot, entered the city from Xizhimen, and went straight back to the old palace.

After settling down for a while, Concubine Wu took a soft sedan chair, passed Donghua Gate, and entered the Forbidden Palace to greet Empress Dowager Sun.

Zhu Qizhen got the news and asked Chen Xiang curiously: "Did Concubine Wu really enter the palace?"

Chen Xiang replied: "The concubine's soft sedan chair has been carried to the gate of the Yinghua Hall, but the entire Yinghua Hall is guarded by Ruan Xi's Jing army, no one can get close, and they can't see clearly."

Zhu Qizhen nodded: "You go and pass on my will, and order Qian, Zhou, and Wan to enter the Yinghua Palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and Huanggui Dowager."

When Qian Shi, Zhou Shi, and Wan Shi were ordered to appear outside Yinghua Hall, they were stopped by the eunuchs led by Ruan Xi.

The three noble ladies took turns scolding Ruan Xi for a while, but Ruan Xi refused to pass on the news, let alone let the three of them in.

In the end, it was Mrs. An and Madam who came out and said with a smile: "Director Ruan, the concubine and empress ordered the three empresses to go in."

When Ruan Xi heard this, he immediately moved out of the way.

Especially Qian Shi and Wan Shi were so angry that they almost turned their heads: Good guy, the empress dowager's words don't work, the queen's words don't work, and the imperial concubine's words don't work.

You only follow the order of the emperor and concubine, and you don't see anyone else?Just wait, I will show you guys a good look tomorrow.
