Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 605: Farewell to Fang Ying and ask the war officer to come up with test questions to select loyal ministers

Fang Ying was very willing to fight, because even if he had to tell his own conscience, the title of Marquis of Nanhe came too quickly, and he even directly skipped the earl.

There were many people in the government and the public who complained.

However, Fang Ying was willing to make new achievements to prove her ability, but the Beijing troops brought back from the south did not want to fight.

On the fifth day of March, the grass grows and the orioles fly.

Fang Ying finally assembled the army in Tongzhou and then came to bid farewell to the emperor.

In Qingyun Pavilion, the emperor and his ministers drank tea and chatted. This was also the first time that Fang Ying had close contact with the emperor and his son.

This great emperor of heaven, how should I put it, once you get close to him, you will feel more and more powerful about his immortal demeanor and aura.The prince, on the other hand, was extremely handsome and sat quietly beside the emperor, making no noise or making any noise.

The emperor smiled gently and his eyes were clear and sincere, but Fang Ying always felt a sense of alienation.

This is also the biggest concern of the Nanzheng Group, including Wang Ji, Chen Mao, and Liang Yue: there is a gap between the monarch and his ministers, and the grudge is extremely deep.

Especially since Shi Heng and others had launched a major mutiny in Beijing before.

The emperor is also afraid that this group of Beijing troops will stage another mutiny. Who knows if you are still thinking about the orthodox emperor.

The soldiers of the Southern Expedition were afraid that the emperor would eradicate dissidents, so Wang Ji, Chen Mao, Liang Yue and nearly half of the army simply did not come back.

Zhu Qiyu himself also felt the gap between him and Fang Ying. The monarch and his ministers were suspicious of each other, and it was very tiring to get along with each other.So Zhu Qiyu tried his best to find some lighter topics:

"North Korea's army is third-rate, and its armor and firearms are completely inferior to the Ming army. This battle will definitely be devastating.

Nan Hehou asked his troops to persist. After this battle, I will give you a good life and repair for a few years.

It will not be easy for your army to conquer the south and the north. When Korea is brought to peace, I will be rewarded heavily. "

Fang Ying stood up, bowed and replied: "I will work hard and die for the Holy One to capture the rebels and completely bring peace to North Korea."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and waved his hand: "There's no need to capture him."

Fang Ying was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed and said yes.I understand, the emperor means that he does not want to live.

Zhu Qiyu then asked: "I don't worry about anything else, but you must restrain the soldiers. The Korean people are also the people of the Ming Dynasty."

Fang Ying nodded in agreement again.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at He Yi, and He Yi would communicate with Fang Ying about the specific war deployment.Zhu Qiyu mainly looked at the scenery outside the window, and whispered a few words in Zhu Wenfang's ear from time to time.

After finally finishing speaking, Zhu Qiyu stood up in person and sent Fang Ying off politely. He Yi also followed him out and saw Fang Ying outside the palace.

When Fang Ying left, only Zhu Wenfang, Huang Qi and Ruan Zhu were left in the pavilion.

With only his son and his direct descendants left, Zhu Qiyu leaned on the soft couch and laughed at himself helplessly: "I am getting more and more unbearable. When I see these old Beijing troops, I think of the mutiny that year.

Xiao Wenfang, please grow up quickly. I really don’t want to be the emperor anymore. It’s not a human job to have endless leisure time all day long. "

Ruan Zhu heard this and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty is now in great prestige, so the old Beijing army has learned from the past mutiny, so how can they be dissatisfied again.

If it doesn't work, the emperor will split up the old Beijing army and disperse it. Wouldn't the threat be eliminated? "

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu sat up suddenly and emphasized seriously: "I would rather be a villain again than split up this Beijing army.

Ruan Zhu, you are the prince's companion, so you must be clear-headed.

Taking care of the crown prince, what a responsibility it is.Have you ever read that Liu Yi fell off a horse and died? Have you heard about it? "

Ruan Zhu replied: "Liang Wang Liu Yi, Emperor Xiaowen's favorite young son, fell off his horse and died in the feudal kingdom. He was given the posthumous title Huai. He had no children and the country was destroyed.

Emperor Xiaowen was in great mourning, and the next year, his Tai Fu Jia Yi also died of guilt. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said earnestly: "You are the prince's best companion. In the future, when the prince becomes emperor, you will be one of the few figures in the inner court. Your most important task now is to protect the prince so that he can become emperor safely. .

Imperial power is very fragile and not as solid as you think.Liu Yi fell off his horse and died, and the person was gone in the blink of an eye. It was very simple to kill a prince, not complicated at all.

Since I came to the throne, why haven't I split up the old Beijing army? Do you really think I'm stupid? I can't think of the methods you can think of?

Most of these people may not be interested in killing the emperor and the crown prince, but there must be die-hard loyalists of Xuanmiao and King Yi among them. Even if there are dozens or a few people, he will definitely have them.

In the future, the crown prince will come into contact with many, many people, including guards, followers, generals, and soldiers. He cannot only come into contact with our own soldiers.

As long as one person with ulterior motives sneaks into the Crown Prince's side, it will be enough for the Crown Prince to fall off his horse and die.

It is easy to be a thief for a thousand days, but it is difficult to guard against a thief for a thousand days. We must walk on thin ice and be cautious.The day you become so carefree that you don't care about anything anymore, you will be close to death.

If you put people like the old Beijing Army together, you can still monitor them.Once the division is broken up, who will you monitor for the tens of thousands of people?

At some point, someone or someone else's nephew will be around the prince. You can supervise the prince's personal bodyguards, but can you keep an eye on the groom who feeds the horses every day?

Maybe one day the groom will do something to you, and the prince will fall off the horse and die.Even if you prevent yourself from falling off your horse and dying, there are still thousands of ways to do it.

For example, let’s take a big explosion in a gunpowder factory. I won’t tell you. Can you imagine that a big explosion in a gunpowder factory can also kill the prince? "

Ruan Zhu replied sincerely: "What the emperor said is true. The other slaves understand it. It's just that the gunpowder factory exploded. How could the prince be killed?"

Zhu Qiyu sighed and told Ruan Zhu about the apocalypse explosion at the level of a small nuclear bomb. Even if he was willing to talk about it, he couldn't understand it, so he could only change his explanation:

"For example, one day the prince's carriage and horses passed by the street next to Wang Gong's factory. At that time, the gunpowder piled in Wang Gong's factory was ignited, and a big explosion occurred. Do you think the prince would be killed?"

Ruan Zhu nodded with understanding.

Zhu Qiyu finally concluded: "Even if you become an emperor, you are still very fragile. Sometimes someone who looks inconspicuous may be a cook, a groom, or a maid. As long as the opportunity arises, one or two will be enough." Kill the emperor.

Killing the emperor is not as complicated as you think.

Let's call a Umrah meeting tomorrow. The meeting is about to begin. I'll talk to the ministers. "

After talking about being prepared for danger in times of peace, Zhu Qiyu returned home, took a bath in the hot spring, and went to bed without caring about the daylight.

Several concubines came up and asked, "What's wrong with my husband?"

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "The enemy is dark and we are clear, and we can't see where the enemy is. This is the most tiring thing. Alas, let's not talk about this anymore. I will give three strategy questions for this year's exam.

One is about the military and political gains and losses of the Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, Zhengtong, and Jingtai dynasties.

One is to discuss the impact of the domestic and foreign affairs strategies of Qin, Han, Tang and Song on Guozuo.

The last one is about how Ming Dynasty should deal with its relations with foreign vassals.

I gave them three very broad questions and let them do whatever they wanted.

I think the average person wouldn't be able to guess in advance what questions I'm going to ask. "

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "It's really difficult to win these exams. Han Chuang studied hard for decades and finally memorized the sages' books backwards. As a result, he met the most ridiculous emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Every time he took the exam, he had to face these tricky and weird problems."

"I don't really want them all to be like Jia Yi. These questions are mainly to let them show their loyalty and choose a stance.

Those who are loyal to King Yi and those who agree with Xuanmiao's strategy of governing the country should not appear in front of me as soon as possible.

Today's officials, especially at the local level, are [-]% obsessed with the Xuande era. God knows how much they hate me.

Xuande Temple did not fight wars, nor did it rectify the official administration, nor did it carry out reforms. Local officials could exercise their authority in a down-to-earth manner. For them, the Xuande Dynasty was the most beautiful and prosperous era. "
