Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 31 Wang Meilin’s vigilance

After hearing Lin Cunde's words, Zhu Qiyu nodded in agreement and agreed to let the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen live in the palace, which would facilitate surveillance. Moreover, the Queen Mother Sun probably thought so too. She would think that only in the palace would she have a chance.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, how are you going to imprison the Supreme Emperor? For what reason? Can't you just put him under house arrest? Don't those ministers and some uninformed people have objections to you?" Lin Cunde then stared at Zhu Qiyu. Asking,

Zhu Qiyu slapped his thigh at this moment and said anxiously to Lin Cunde: "I am worried about this. If we directly block it, the ministers will definitely have opinions. Moreover, it will be difficult for the Queen Mother to explain. I don't know how to attack at that time. Therefore, I Regarding this matter, they are also very distressed. Now, the ministers are reporting to each other one after another, hoping to bring the Supreme Emperor back!

Let’s not talk about whether we can bring him back. How to stop the ministers’ mouths when we bring him back is the key. If this is not done well, bringing him back will be trouble! "

"But, if your Majesty is in a separate courtyard of the palace, now let the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies carve out the list of soldiers who died in the defense of Tumubao and the capital, and place it in the other courtyard. Your Majesty will send people to burn incense and worship. If your Majesty has any Kong also often goes there. You said, if the Emperor comes back, let the Emperor live in this other courtyard and pray for the sacrificed soldiers day and night. If so, how can the ministers object?

Your Majesty can do it, why can't the Emperor do it?The soldiers who died were all because of him!If it was just an ordinary military expedition and the battle was defeated, that would be fine, but the battle of Tumu Fort was completely avoidable. If the Supreme Emperor hadn't listened to Wang Zhen's slander, tossing the soldiers back and forth and making them tired of marching, how could they have been defeated so easily?

Most of the Ming Dynasty's 20 elite soldiers were buried in Tumu Fort. In the battle to defend the capital, how many homes around the capital were burned down?In the capital, people posted hundreds of couplets on every house, all because the emperor was too stupid!

For such a defeat, as the original emperor, shouldn't he bear the responsibility?Shouldn't we pay homage to those soldiers who died? Lin Cunde said excitedly.

In his own family, because of the war-god emperor, three people were gone, and maybe a fourth one was going to leave. This hatred was difficult for Lin Cunde to resolve for a while.

Although Tumu Fort had not been defeated, he might not have traveled through time, but who would have allowed him to carry the memory with him?Every night, I recall the voices of my father, mother, and brother in my mind, and I can't sleep all night long. How can I not avenge this hatred?
"Yes, you are right, Cunde, your idea is good, good. From now on, I will see who dares to object. If you object, you will be drowned in the saliva of the people in the world. Moreover, it will not work unless the Supreme Emperor goes, no I can’t even go, haha, Cunde, I’m sure I’ve waited for you in vain!” Zhu Qiyu said to Lin Cunde excitedly at this moment.

This is Zhu Qiyu's heartache. He just wants to continue to be the emperor, and he has a strong reason to be the emperor, instead of being denied by the ministers and the people that he occupies his brother's position.

If you do this, the people and officials in the world will all think that you are stronger than the Supreme Emperor. This reason is enough.

"As long as your Majesty thinks it is feasible, the students don't know much after all, and there are still many things that are not well thought out. Your Majesty can ask the ministers whether this is feasible?" Lin Cunde heard Zhu Qiyu's praise and immediately raised his hand and said.

"You are too humble. If you hadn't solved my doubts, I wouldn't have known how long I would have thought about it. Okay, okay, let's drink tea!" Zhu Qiyu said happily.

Lin Cunde picked up the tea cup and found that there was no tea in it.

Zhu Qiyu also saw it, immediately took Lin Cunde's tea cup, and was about to add water to Lin Cunde.

"Your Majesty, come students, come students!" Lin Cunde quickly stood up and wanted to grab the cup.

"Sit! This is my study. How can I let guests make tea by themselves? Just rest. Besides, if it's just you and me from now on, there's no need to be polite. Just call me brother-in-law. Don't call yourself a student either. Just call me! I'm so annoyed by the honorific titles of those ministers every day. I don't have any true friends!" Zhu Qiyu took the cup, went to the small table at the back, fetched the kettle, and poured tea for Lin Cunde.

"Don't dare!" Lin Cunde quickly said with his hands in hand.

"What are you afraid of? To tell you the truth, I haven't had a single friend since I was a child, not even a single one. However, the Supreme Emperor is very kind to me, but, hey, he feels ashamed that this world is in his hands. Father! Now that I am sitting in this position, I think that no matter what, I must do better than him. I know that I also have many shortcomings. Many people even say privately that I do not have the appearance of an emperor.

I admit this. I am thin, weak in character, and not decisive. But as the son of Xuanzong and the grandson of Renzong, what I have done during this period is worthy of my ancestors!I may not be a wise king, but I am definitely not a foolish king! '

The Supreme Emperor favored Wang Zhen before. If he returns to this position again, he will also favor Li Zhen and Zhang Zhen. He cannot be a wise king, he is a foolish king. Sometimes I even think that if he died, I would dare to see him. Father?If I dare to go, he certainly won’t! Zhu Qiyu said excitedly while pouring water.

After pouring the tea, he brought it to Lin Cunde. Lin Cunde quickly stood up and continued.

Zhu Qiyu handed the tea to Lin Cunde and said: "You really don't have to be so reserved, and I don't want you to be so reserved. It can be said that what I just said has never been confided to anyone. In fact, I also hope that there will be one or two We are just friends, not involved in anything else, just talking about heaven and earth, ancient and modern times!"

"Yes, in that case, what about brother-in-law?" When Lin Cunde heard what Zhu Qiyu said, it would be bad if he was still polite. Of course, Lin Cunde also knew that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If he treats you as a friend today, he may be with you tomorrow. I'll send you to be beheaded outside the Meridian Gate.

"That's right! Brother-in-law, if you have nothing to do from now on, come to the palace and sit with me. I will ask Cheng Jing to give you a badge later. You can come in at any time!" Zhu Qiyu said to Lin Cunde with a smile.

When Lin Cunde heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Brother-in-law, I am still observing my filial piety!" "Oh, yes!" When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he patted his forehead and continued: "Then if I have something to do, I will either summon you here or I will go find you!"

"Okay!" Lin Cunde nodded.

"Come, drink tea! You like tea, what else do you like? My brother-in-law has everything here!" Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.

"Here, I am the son of an ordinary official with an ordinary family background. I don't need anything! Just give it away if you want!" Lin Cunde said shamelessly after hearing this. His family is poor and doesn't have anything good. Besides, it's him. You said it yourself, you're welcome, if you don't take advantage of it, wouldn't you be a fool?

"Haha, okay, I'll let Cheng Jing choose some later!" Zhu Qiyu said very happily when he saw Lin Cunde acting like this.

"Brother-in-law, you need to pay attention to Jin Yiwei. Lu Zhong can't do it. This person is too slippery, but it is not good to replace him rashly. Let's talk about it first. Your Majesty can get to know more young Jin Yiwei Qianhu, Deputy Qianhu , give them grace, and they will definitely obey!" Lin Cunde immediately looked at Zhu Qiyu in a low voice and said.

"Is there any candidate?" Zhu Qiyu asked immediately.

"Yes, but, brother-in-law, don't get me wrong. This is the third time I met him. I have inquired about this person. So far, he is a decent man and does things fairly openly. Moreover, this person is Yu Qian's son-in-law and the person who promoted Yu Qian. Son-in-law, then reject Yu Qian’s matter about the Ministry of War commanding the third battalion of the capital, and give Yu Qian an explanation! Kill two birds with one stone!" Lin Cunde continued to say in a low voice.

"Oh, this man is Yu Qian's son-in-law, so that's trustworthy! According to what you said, I'll find an opportunity to meet him!" Zhu Qiyu nodded, agreeing with Lin Cunde's statement.

"It's outside now. He came with me today!" Lin Cunde pointed outside and said.

"See you now, let's just have a chat. There are not many opportunities like this!" Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and then asked Lin Cunde about some things in the court.

Outside, the queen was leading people to the Zhonghe Hall. As soon as she appeared at the corner, Eunuch Yan noticed her, and Zhu Ji happened to have his back turned.

"The Queen is here!" Eunuch Yan whispered quickly.

When Zhu Ji heard this, he quickly turned around and stood side by side with Eunuch Yan. The two of them held their hands respectfully, waiting for Wang Meilin to come over.

At this time, Wang Meilin was followed by more than thirty father-in-laws and maids, among whom was Eunuch Ge.

When Wang Meilin arrived at the gate of Baohe Hall, he saw Zhu Ji wearing Jin Yiwei and didn't pay attention.

"Greetings to the Queen!" Eunuch Yan and Zhu Ji saw the Queen arriving and shouted quickly.

Eunuch Ge was smart, thinking that Zhu Ji was Lin Cunde's friend and he had offended them just now, so he thought of selling Zhu Ji a favor so that he wouldn't care about what happened just now.

"Mother, this Zhu Qianhu and Lin Cunde are friends. It was Zhu Qianhu who led Lin Cunde here today. This servant was blind and failed to recognize them and even reprimanded them!" Eunuch Ge said quickly to Wang Meilin who was about to turn around.

When Wang Meilin heard what Eunuch Ge said, he was also curious, so he stopped and looked at Zhu Ji carefully.

After observing for a moment, Wang Meilin asked: "How long have you been friends with Cunde? Cunde is a scholar who lives in Yidingyou. How can he know someone like you, who has thousands of households with a fifth grade?"

The empress had some suspicions, worrying that Zhu Ji was here for her and that her purpose in making friends was not pure.

"Replying to my wife, we have known each other for more than half a month. Weichen was familiar with Mr. Wang Zhi before, and by chance, I met Brother Cunde! That's when we started to interact with him!" Zhu Ji was very nervous, even more nervous than meeting his father-in-law.

His father-in-law is serious, but as long as he doesn't do anything illegal, he is not afraid of him. But this is the empress in front of him. The empress who has just used tricks to take over the power of the harem, and she has a tone of questioning herself, why? Can you not be afraid?
"Do you still know Xiaozhi?" Wang Meilin said with a frown. He also knew Wang Zhi's virtues. Although he was not a playboy, he could definitely be regarded as uneducated and incompetent.
