Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 550: The crown prince, his wife, and the subjugated princess were shocked by the March Ping of Nanjing.
It’s the eighth day of August, and it’s a hot summer day.

But it was still very cool in Yuquan Mountain. In summer, Zhu Qiyu took his beloved concubines to live in Qingliang Hall.

When he woke up in the cool morning, Zhu Qiyu covered himself with a quilt, hugged the beauty's body, and stared at the screen in a daze.The screen acquired from Emperor Gongrang was like a Chinese landscape painting with far-reaching artistic conception and beautiful scenery, showing green mountains, beautiful water, red flowers and green trees three-dimensionally before our eyes.

Staring at the jade screen for a long time can also make people feel relaxed, peaceful and at ease.

Zhu Qiyu was in a daze when Xianer came in again to deliver a letter.

Now that Xian'er has acted as a messenger, Qianxue and Suxi are liberated.If there is any urgent report outside, it will be reported to Changle Palace first, and will be sent in after being screened by Xian'er.

So Qianxue and Su Xi were still sleeping in. Xianer left after delivering the letter and went back to catch up on their sleep.

Zhu Qiyu took the Annan Army Newspaper, took off the seal, opened it, and couldn't help but slap it on the bed with all his strength, and shouted loudly:

"God opened his eyes and finally regained Annan. Now the situation has opened up. With the success of opening up territories and expanding the territory, I will become a much tougher emperor."

Several beloved concubines were awakened, and Zhu Qiyu handed Li Jun's handwritten surrender form to the ladies.

After Sister Lin Xiangyu saw it, she didn't even bother to put on her clothes, so she knelt on the ground naked and kowtowed to the saint.

Zhu Qiyu only felt a little elated, and he immediately summoned up his power and visited the five women one by one.

Before noon, the lowered orders were sent to the cabinet, and the good news spread throughout the capital.

In the cabinet, Wang Wen and others were stunned for a long time before reluctantly accepting the reality.

Wei Ji sighed: "From the launch of the attack on April [-]th to the surrender of the Li family on the seventh day of July, it took less than three months to finish the battle?
Is this a win?Even when the Yongle Dynasty attacked Annan, Taizong was so wise and powerful that the battle lasted seven months. "

Wang Wen smiled and said: "If I were the ruler of Li Dynasty, I would also surrender. 30 troops surrounded Tokyo and then dug water to flood the city. Who can bear this?"

The most powerful thing about the Holy Emperor was that he mobilized the small countries in the south to form a coalition and captured the five southern mansions in Annan, leaving the Li Dynasty with no way to retreat.

If not, they would retreat into the Five Prefectures of the South, and our army's supplies would not be able to support the southward pursuit.

Once the war reaches a stalemate, it is likely to become a Xuande Dynasty story again. "

Jiang Yuan smiled and said: "Anyway, I won the battle, and the victory was particularly beautiful. Since the Xuande Dynasty, my Ming Dynasty has been as afraid of Annan as a tiger, as if they are so powerful.

Now, in front of the Holy One, they are all just chickens and dogs, vulnerable to a single blow.

We are really proud of ourselves. Just because of the bad things done by the Xuande Dynasty, the vassal states in the south have despised us for many years.

It’s time to let them know what the Emperor of China is and how he can conquer the world. "

Since the cabinet consisted of either emperor cronies or centrists, everyone was happy.

Among the Emperor Gongrang's faction, the one with the highest official position was Liao Zhuang, the Minister of Rites, who had little real power.

Wang Yining, the Minister of Rites, was very good at figuring out the holy will and gave Liao Zhuang the task of replying to Li Jun's surrender.

Since Li Jun respectfully handed over the surrender form, given the magnanimity of the Celestial Dynasty, it was natural that the Ministry of Rites should reply in the name of the emperor to comfort him.

On Liao Zhuang's face, there was an expression that made him feel uncomfortable because he wanted to cry but couldn't stop crying.Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that Li, who once pressed the face of the wise Emperor Shenwuxuanmiao to the ground and rubbed it hard, would surrender like this?
The Li family didn't even organize a hundred thousand troops to fight the Ming army head-on?
Li Jun was also very miserable. He was deceived by the Emperor of Heaven. He thought that the war would not start until next year, so he was defeated before he could organize a hundred thousand troops.What was even worse was Liu Dingzhi, Lin Cong, Ye Sheng and others. They were teaching the prince, and they were talking about how Emperor Renxuan created the prosperous Ming Dynasty. Halfway through the lecture, the eunuch Wang Cheng, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial department, came to teach the prince personally. Annunciation.

This time the embarrassment was great. Annan, who Xuanmiao and Sanyang said had brought a huge burden to the Ming Dynasty, was conquered by the emperor in less than three months.

Even the crown prince asked Liu Dingzhi, Lin Cong, Ye Sheng and others their doubts: "I dare to ask all the masters, since Annan is so vulnerable and the uncle can recover it in less than three months, then what? Why did my grandfather, Emperor Xuanmiao, listen to the words of Yang Shiqi and other treacherous people and abandon the land to seek peace for no reason?"

Liu Dingzhi and others were all asked. In the past, it could be said that Xuan Temple abandoned its land because Annan was too powerful, but now that the facts are in front of them, what else can be said.

Incompetence is incompetence, weakness is weakness. In the face of facts, no amount of sophistry is useless.

Zhu Jianshen pointed at Wang Cheng: "You are the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, and you are here to answer my questions."

Wang Cheng was not polite, bowed and replied: "Xuanmiao loves to support the people, and is not willing to waste people and money for the sake of foreign vassal land.

Today's Holy Emperor has a far-sighted vision and a universal heart. He is unwilling to abandon the Han Dynasty for the sake of temporary comfort, causing future generations to sigh and beat their chests. "

Wang Cheng's words, if translated, mean that he was accusing Xuan Miao of being a master and betraying his son Tian Xinxin.

Liu Dingzhi and others could understand what Wang Cheng meant, but they couldn't criticize him. At least not only did they not curse, but they also praised Xuan Temple for caring for the people.

Zhu Jianshen was extremely smart and could understand the hidden meaning of Wang Cheng's words.After all, regarding Annan, the Ming Dynasty had two views: one was that the foreign vassal territory of Xuan Temple was useless, and the other was that the size of Han territory in today's world cannot be discarded.

Two completely opposite viewpoints, the victory of one means the defeat of the other.

As for Zhu Jianshen, although he was surrounded by Liu Dingzhi and others all day long, he was actually more inclined to his uncle's theory that the size of the Han Dynasty should not be abandoned.

But after all, Zhu Jianshen was young and could not consider the deeper levels.

Zhu Qizhen was different. After learning the news of Annan's surrender, he was stunned for a long time, and then started smashing and throwing things in his palace.

Although it was a good thing to regain the lost territory, I was deceived. I had just married Princess Annan for the prince. I was so complacent for a few days, but the good prince and concubine turned into a subjugated princess.

It was agreed that Annan's [-] troops would be the solid backing for the prince?
Now that everything is fine, what do the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty think?
No matter how he failed, Zhu Qizhen did not lose heart. After all, there was still hope for the prince.But because of his own cleverness, the prince was also deceived.

Will the ministers support a crown prince who has married a subjugated princess as his concubine and whose father is a sinner of the country to inherit the throne?
If he wanted to break up the marriage, it was obviously impossible for his brother to allow it.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly thought that North Korea also gave the princess to the prince as a concubine. Would North Korea also be destroyed?If Zhu Jianshen married two subjugated princesses at once, he would probably not be ashamed to be the crown prince anymore.

One stone stirs up thousands of waves, some are happy and some are sad.

In the afternoon, Zhu Qiyu added another edict, and the British public sacrifice was announced to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Then he went to Changling first to report the good news to Taizong: his great-grandson Qiyu had restored Taizong's career and would completely stabilize his rule over Annan in the future. This achievement, great-grandson and Taizong shared it.

After offering sacrifices to Changling, the British Duke went to Jingling again to apologize to Xuanmiao for his unfilial act of recapturing Annan.

Another edict ordered all officials to congratulate the crown prince.On the emperor's side, the officials will not come.

Zhu Qiyu was not interested in showing off in front of officials, but chose to make an appointment with Li Shulin and began to appease the Annan people.
