Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 562: The Golden Knife is presented to the Wala Envoy and Queen Lingfei passively commits suicide.
Wang Yan said with a smile: "Brother Yang is totally over-concerned about divorcing your wife. The Holy Father has a great vision. As long as you don't get involved in politics and do your job honestly, you will not only have nothing to do, but you can also become a rich man safely."

Yang Xun was still dubious, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he sincerely thanked Wang Yan.They sat there until Jie Tianlou closed, and then the two of them said goodbye to each other and went home.

Early the next morning, the new issue of the newspaper published the trial process and conclusion of the witchcraft case by the Three Law Divisions.The memorial to the deposed emperor written by the King of Soochow was also presented to the people of the capital verbatim.

Zhu Qiyu got up early in the morning and first went to the hot spring palace to take a bath.There are three pools in the palace, one large, two small, and you can swim freely in the large hot spring pool in the middle. There is a cool spring pool in the east and a small hot spring pool in the west.

There is a jade bed placed in the middle of the small hot spring pool, with the bed surface three inches above the water.

Zhu Qiyu was lying on the jade bed, with a jade pillow on his head, stretching his body into a 'big' character, motionless, letting his woman play with him.

Five top beauties, Lin Xiangyu, Ningxiang, Linglong, Qianxue and Suxi, knelt on the jade bed and divided the word 'big' into five parts. Each person had their own division of labor while scooping up hot spring water from time to time and pouring it on Zhu Qiyu.

This kind of day where he didn't have to move a finger to take a bath made Zhu Qiyu's happiness beyond the sky.

Qianxue squeezed Zhu Qiyu's shoulders and said with a smile: "Husband, the King of Soochow has already written a petition to depose the emperor. Lian Gang stayed up late and wrote it into the newspaper. The whole city should know about it today."

Zhu Qiyu snorted: "This small treasury for practicing outline should be completely bulging. I heard that people are still snatching up a silver coin and a newspaper, and the slow ones can't buy it."

Qianxue replied: "The money I earned from training was saved and used to hire people. The main reason is that the recent events are too important, and the dignitaries in the capital are eager to know the latest progress.

Husband, you don’t know that there are actually many people supporting you.Especially businessmen. You have reduced business taxes so drastically. They are really afraid that you will do something wrong and the policy will not be able to continue. "

Zhu Qiyu smiled happily and said: "They still have some conscience. These people are much better than the ministers. By next year, the actual salary the ministers will receive will be three times what it was at the end of the orthodox year. They are not grateful at all."

Qianxue carefully recounted yesterday's conversation between Yang Xun and Wang Yan as a representative of the public opinion in the capital.

Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction: "This Wang Yan is a talented person. Previously he reported Shanxi officials for corruption, and wrote a letter advocating suppressing Buddhism. This time he predicted the process of deposing the emperor, which shows that he has real talent and learning."

Lin Xiangyu asked: "You mean that Emperor Gongrang really wrote the edict and asked the Oara envoy to take it away? And then Oara will really invade again next year?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded affirmatively: "Two days before Shu Liang went to search the Chonghua Palace, I respectfully asked the emperor to give the chief eunuch Ruan Lang a golden sword.

Ruan Lang transferred the golden sword to his trusted eunuch Wang Yao the next day, and Wang Yao presented the golden sword to the Wala envoy. "

Lin Xiangyu suddenly realized: "So you let them go. They will go back and weigh it. They will probably come to Ming Dynasty to plunder next year."

"Well, it just so happens that the envoy of Nawala turned out to be a dead soldier of Alazhiyuan. He was ordered by Ala to work for me on this matter.

Also, I asked Duke Cao Guo and King Su to go to the grassland to burn wasteland in winter.There is nothing to eat in Wala. What if they don’t come to plunder next year? "

"Will that affect the people?"

"No, I didn't rebuild Dongshengwei. When Wala invaded, Dongshengwei bore the brunt.

The current officers and soldiers of Dongsheng Guard were all moved from various guards in Shanxi.Those people are neither loyal to me nor to Emperor Gongrang.

They are all of the type of Yang Hong. Yang Hong became the Jiedushi, and they were the soldiers and generals under the Jiedushi.

I set up an ambush near Dongshengwei, and then asked Duke Cao Guo and King Su to coordinate the attack from east to west. I took advantage of the situation and completely wiped out the obedient King Huoerhuda, and it was all over. "

Lin Xiangyu nodded: "Oh, the Nu family understands. Wala invades again, which brings back the painful memories of the people in the capital. By then, no one will have the nerve to oppose the deposed emperor.

Then there was the crime of colluding with foreign enemies to commit rebellion, and Emperor Gongrang's political life was completely over.

When the time comes, it is only right that you sue the Imperial Ancestral Temple and depose him. "

"Well, this is to follow the formal process to dethrone the emperor. In addition, at that time, I had accomplished the external success of annihilating Oara, conquering Annan, and exterminating Luchuan. I also performed various good governance internally, and the throne was almost stable.

So people always think that I act mildly, but in fact it only took me less than four years to completely consolidate the throne, which is already very fast.And it's fast and stable. At least others can't catch me, and they have nowhere to attack me.

If I hadn't insisted on destroying the Buddha, the throne would have been more stable. "

Several beloved concubines nodded repeatedly and flattered her greatly.

Zhu Qiyu returned to the dormitory and officially resumed the normal life of men and women.

There was nothing to say for three days. Zhu Qiyu was reading at home and quietly waiting for public opinion to ferment.

However, just when everyone was paying attention to the public opinion about deposing the emperor, something unexpected and extremely shocking happened.

Early morning on November 29th.

Zhu Qiyu was leaning on the couch, holding Lin Xiangyu in his arms while reading and making love to each other.

At this time, Qianxue and Su Xi hurried in from outside.Zhu Qiyu looked up in confusion and only listened to Qianxue's report:

"Husband, it's too bad. Queen Zhou and Concubine Qian Ling both committed suicide out of fear of crime."

Zhu Qiyu and Lin Xiangyu sat upright instantly.

Lin Xiangyu was the most surprised and quickly asked: "No one said they would deal with them. Why do they want to commit suicide?"

Qianxue shook her head: "Ruan Xi came to report the news in person, Shu Liang, Dongchang and Jinyiwei were still investigating clues in Chonghua Palace.

According to Shu Liang's own judgment, neither Queen Zhou nor Concubine Qian Ling committed suicide. "

"Not suicide?"

"Well, after the case of witchcraft was finalized, Shu Liang had people replace all the maids and eunuchs around Emperor Gongrang, Empress Zhou, and Concubine Qian Ling. At this time, there was no one close to Empress Zhou and Concubine Qian Ling.

However, Concubine Wan Chen lost two princes one after another, and her husband had always been tolerant to her, so she still kept many close friends around her.

At the time of the mutiny, Empress Zhou thought that the imperial concubine could not be humiliated by the rebel army, so she almost took the opportunity to force Concubine Wan Chen to hang herself.

This time, I'm afraid Concubine Wan Chen seized the opportunity and went back for revenge.

Among them, there should also be the emperor's instructions, or tacit approval.

With the "suicide" of Queen Zhou and Concubine Qian Ling, they can win the sympathy of public opinion and play the role of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao, and abandoning the chariot to protect the commander.

Suddenly, the direction of the wind may change.If my husband insists on dethroning the emperor at this time, I am afraid that he will be infamy because he is from the same family and is too eager to fight against each other. "

Zhu Qiyu said teasingly: "You are really good at calculating, Gong Rang Emperor's move is quite cruel. It's a pity, I didn't want to depose the emperor now.

The real time I plan to depose the emperor is half a year later.

Queen Zhou and Concubine Qian Ling both died in vain. "

Everyone sighed again, and Qianxue asked: "Then how to deal with it?"

Zhu Qiyu replied: "Let Shu Liang find out the truth and bring the real culprits who killed Queen Zhou and Concubine Qian Ling to justice. I will not bear the crime of forcing the two emperor's wives to death."
