Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 596: Why should the crown prince become a disciple? Liu Chang will form a team for the next emperor
Wei Tonglie was overjoyed when he received the imperial edict.Not only were the conditions negotiated with the emperor, they were also clearly written into the imperial edict.Moreover, the title given by the emperor was 'King Xinyi'.

Those who are trustworthy and righteous means that the king has faith and the ministers have righteousness.

It sounds more than a hundred times better than those who respect and obey the king in Wala.

Wei Tonglie rode back on his fast horse that day, and the Ministry of War also issued an urgent document of six hundred miles, ordering the king to withdraw the troops and suspend the troops.

In the evening, after soaking in the hot springs and washing away his fatigue, Zhu Qiyu leaned on the couch and looked at the stars leisurely.

Lin Xiangyu came up and asked, "Husband, I want to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter, say."

"The children in our family are all grown up, so let them formally become apprentices. Although we don't expect them to be as smart as Jianshen, at least they should study and practice martial arts from an early age."

"Okay, okay, you just have to figure it out."

"What do you mean, let's just leave it up to you. He Yi teaches literature and Liu Chang teaches martial arts. When the time comes, you have to come forward in person and bow to them both."

Zhu Qiyu teased: "I just want the little kowtow bug to kowtow to the two of them. Why do I have to bow to them?"

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "We must not respect our teachers. You must behave humbly and solemnly before others dare to teach. Otherwise, our little kowtow-worm will be the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If He Yi and Liu Chang continue to sentence I don’t dare to say harsh words, isn’t that troublesome?”

"Okay, okay, okay, if I can't convince you, just bow. If you have any other requests, let's talk about it together."

Lin Xiangyu smiled sheepishly: "We also want to confer the title of Madam on the two nannies of Little Kowtowworm."

"Which rank is Madam Gaoming?"

"Second rank, the slave family thought, since it is given, don't hold back Sosou, and do it in one step. When Brother Fang becomes the emperor, they will be promoted to first rank. One is the Holy Lady, and the other is the Holy Lady. .”

"Okay, you can. If you give me more, they will follow us wholeheartedly. Is there anything else?"

"Yes, the King of Ryukyu Zhongshan sent envoys to confirm to my husband his status as a country without conquests.

Do you remember that when you first came to the throne, you ordered the slave family to receive envoys from the Zhongshan Kingdom to establish a relationship first and pave the way for future trade exchanges.

Now they are here again and want us to continue our previous enthusiasm.What should you do? If you don't agree, it will appear that we were hypocritical before. "

"Oh, a country without conquests, Ryukyu Zhongshan. This question is quite difficult to ask.

My credit is beyond the sky. I really agreed to it, but I really can’t ask for it anymore.

I don’t want to occupy Ryukyu directly.

It is okay to confirm it as a country without conquest, but I will lease its port, send troops to guard it, and establish a permanent embassy.

This condition is not many. If he can meet it, I will confirm that he is a country without conquest. "

"I understand, let's have a good talk with the Ryukyu envoy another day."

"Well, let's talk. In fact, it is good to have a country without conquest. Recently, I have started wars everywhere, and the mentality of the vassal countries must be about to explode.

I need to show some kindness and ease the tension. "

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "What happens after the relaxation?"

"No need to ask, we must continue to fight. Didn't we give birth to three more sons this year? We will conquer the land and continue to divide it.

Not to mention the large area in the south, just looking at the north, North Korea and Japan need at least ten princes.As well as Ili and Lake Baikal, I will firmly occupy them.

That is to say, I have good health and you are all virtuous.Catching up with Xuan Miao's sick and crooked appearance, he lived to be almost 40 years old and gave birth to two sons, which was considered fatal.I was able to be born only because Xuan Miao couldn't give birth to a child in the palace, so he finally became anxious and had the baby outside the palace. "

Qianxue asked: "Is the palace so dangerous? Did Xuanmiao allow some people to manipulate the concubines in the harem?"

"I don't know if Xuanmiao is really stupid, or if he is just pretending to be confused. You might say he is really stupid. He also knows how to give birth outside the palace.

You said he was not stupid, but he allowed the inner court and the outer court to collude with each other, and finally died in an unknown manner.

Moreover, I didn’t find a good master for my eldest brother, and he didn’t teach me well, and then things ended up like this.

It's not right to say that. I should be glad that he didn't teach my eldest brother himself.

Fortunately, my eldest brother is also a son who is unworthy of his father. If he was as wise and powerful as Xuanmiao, then I would be struggling to conquer Luchuan now.

There is a saying that my eldest brother has been fighting in Luchuan for ten years, which saved me a lot of trouble.Without Luchuan, there are only three or two big cats and kittens from Annam, Burma, and Siam, which are much easier to deal with. "

Qianxue teased: "How come my husband has become more and more respectful to King Yi? He calls me "big brother" so affectionately."

Zhu Qiyu replied: "His political life is over. If he dies of illness in two years, everything will be in vain. If people die, their grudges will disappear, and that's it.

Didn’t Confucius teach us that we should always keep in mind the principle of loyalty and forgiveness?

Besides, apart from giving me the most rubbish king title and installing an undercover princess, he didn’t treat me too harshly.

Political grievances are political grievances, and personal grievances are personal grievances.

As for the important ministers of his faction, I have already dealt with them all.

You don’t know how boring the current court meetings are. I’m the only one who keeps talking endlessly. The ministers can only echo a few words, and no one stands up to refute me.

The court meeting has completely become a one-word affair for me. Now if I want to depose the prince, it is all a matter of one word. "

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "It must be because my husband is always cruel to them and scares them."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "It's really not evil. One is that the loyal ministers of Xuanmiao and the eldest brother have been wiped out by me, and the other is that the things I promoted were accomplished every time, so they didn't dare to raise objections easily.

Forget it, go to sleep, I'm so sleepy. "

I was really speechless all night.

A few days passed, it was the ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival.

Ninety-nine returns to true nature, one yuan begins.Zhu Qiyu chose the Double Ninth Festival to hold a banquet with wine and formally apprentice his children.

He Yi and Liu Chang, as the first batch of ministers who followed the dragon, one taught literature and the other taught martial arts.

Zhu Qiyu bowed with his concubines, while Zhu Wenfang and Xu Qing kowtowed with their younger brothers and sisters.

At the banquet, He Yi and Liu Chang were forced to sit on the upper seats. Even Empress Dowager Wu and Duke An Guo came out to accompany them in person. Everyone had a lively meal, and the status of master and disciple was officially established.

Zhu Qiyu also worked hard and arranged a team for Zhu Wenfang early.He Yi and Liu Chang are both civil and military. In the future, one will be the chief assistant and the other will be the commander-in-chief.

Then Zhu Wenfang was the grandson of Wu Dinghou and the grandson-in-law of An Guogong.With the solid backing of Wu Dinghou, An Guogong and their representative group, and being the undisputed eldest son, this position is as stable as Mount Tai.

The more Zhu Qiyu thought about it, the more satisfied he became. As long as he didn't imitate the Emperor of Soochow, who insisted on seizing the second house for the rightful son, it would not be a problem for the Ming Dynasty to remain stable for 60 to [-] years.
