Chapter 36: Ennoblement and military power, I want to break this prison!
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness, but please take back your orders. Taizu has orders, and no title can be awarded unless he has made meritorious service in the army. Although I have made a small contribution, I am your Majesty's trusted minister. All officials are willing to listen to me, and soldiers are willing to serve.
It is only because of me that I have achieved this merit. I dare not take credit for it, but I would like to ask Your Majesty to reward the meritorious officers and soldiers. I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your kindness."
"Isn't it the merit of Sheji in the defense of Beijing? At that time, I wanted to give my beloved a knighthood, but I refused to grant it because of my poor virtues. Now I have added the merit of rescuing you and saving me from fire and water. Isn't it the merit of Sheji? Young Master
Please don't refuse, Fu. I have made up my mind, and Qing Taichang has prepared the decree and issued it."
Zhu Qiyu said it for no reason, and his love for him was beyond words. But Yu Qian's ice-like face turned into a bitter gourd face. Are you sure you want to thank me? He said goodbye again, saying that civil servants are not allowed to be knighted. Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to talk to him, and said lightly
: "Uncle Jing Yuan, you have also risen from a civil servant to a distinguished noble. Do you feel uncomfortable? You can also help to persuade the young master. How glorious it is for a distinguished noble to retire with the country!"
Wang Ji felt like he had eaten a fly, and he had the courage to persuade Yu Qian. He was really embarrassed among the nobles. He was not of the British lineage, nor of the Chengguogong lineage. Neither civil servants nor nobles were willing to lead him.
He plays, so he takes credit everywhere and fawns over him.
"Qing Taichang, I have drafted a decree to order Baoding Marquis Liang Yue to enter the court. Liang Yue, Fan Guang, Li Bing, and Wang Yue will be the commanders of the regiment. I will issue it after drafting it." Zhu Qiyu took the opportunity to seize power.
Shang Ren didn't dare to accept the order, and Zhu Qiyu didn't care: "I'm tired, Wang Wen, you come to draw up the order."
Wang Wen swallowed his saliva. If he dared to agree, he would cut himself off from the civil service and completely become the emperor's lackey. He didn't care if he was scolded or blackmailed. He was worried that Zhu Qiyu couldn't do it and the civil service was killed, and he would be liquidated. He secretly watched
He looked at the car and then at Yu Qian. If Yu Qian nodded, he would dare to accept the order.
As soon as Chen Xun left and Gao Gu died, Wang Wen not only failed to assume the responsibility of being the mainstay of the civil service, but pushed Yu Qian to the front. The civil servants in Beijing were very disappointed with Wang Wen. Zhu Qiyu was also disappointed with him. He, a die-hard civil servant,
Scared.
"Wang Wen, are you deaf? Prepare a decree!" Zhu Qiyu shouted.
Wang Wen gritted his teeth: "I obey your order."
"Your Majesty..." Seeing that the situation was not good, Shang Ren immediately spoke to advise.
But Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and interrupted: "Taichang Qing has drafted another imperial edict to promote Yu Shaofu to the title of Qiantang Bo. Yu Qing has made great contributions to the country and is recognized by all the ministers. There is no need to argue anymore. I heard that Yu Mian is closed at home.
After studying hard and failing in many tests, I asked Yu Mian to enter the palace as my bodyguard. If there is any vacancy in the future, fill it in to complete the friendship between me and Yu Qing."
Yu Qian and Shang Ren were both dumbfounded. Are you sure this is friendship? But they both thought of the worst possibility. If the emperor ignores the objections of the ministers and appoints Yu Qian as the uncle of Qiantang, what will Yu Qian do once the imperial edict is issued? Will he tell all the scholars in the world one by one?
Go and explain? Or refuse to accept the order? The emperor not only wanted to confer a title on him, but also ordered Yu Mian to enter the palace. This is forcing Yu Qian to side with the nobles! Let him bite the civil servants, and Qian will die of disgust!
When Yu Qian and Shi Heng had a falling out, it was Shi Heng who wanted to recommend Yu Mian as the deputy of the Qianhu Guards, but Yu Qian scolded him and drove him out of the house. His family has been farming and studying for generations, and he is an innocent scholar. How could he be with Manchu?
A fellow nobleman with a bad reputation? His son Yu Mian would rather fail in his life, then he would be a noble scholar, not some bullshit nobleman!
The emperor imposed a title on him because he wanted to exchange the title for military power! If Yu Qian did not agree with the emperor to take charge of the regiment, the emperor would be disgusted with him and give him a title, letting him fall from a noble scholar in the Qing Dynasty into a shithole and become a stinky person.
Wen, the noble man, will find a way to take away his title and demote him to a commoner in the future. At that time, will there still be scholars who can speak for him?
No more. Not only is he gone, but he will be despised crazily! The national hero in the defense of Beijing, the hero of the country who was rescued by King Qin, will be confused, and the good will be said to be bad, and he will be vilified as the number one sycophant in Jingtai. Contemporary
Qin Hui! Being granted the title of uncle, it is better to let Yu Qian wipe his neck and die!
He raised his head and stared at Zhu Qiyu. The emperor stopped shouting and killed, stopped acting like a child, and started playing political games. He used titles to coerce him, forced him to submit, forced him to complete political transactions and comply with the emperor's wishes! But the emperor just wanted to do it.
With a heart full of fists, he plays hypocrisy and cunning to the extreme. Is this the same emperor who was full of murder and murder just now?
"Wang Wen, you are here to draw up an edict and confer it on the Earl of Qing, and issue it to the world." Zhu Qiyu sneered, you have the same name as Yu Qian, you would rather die than be humiliated, and want to leave your innocence in the world, okay, then I will give you the name, see if you dare
Dare to bear it!
"I obey!" Wang Wen gritted his teeth and promised.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute. I know that Marquis Baoding is a capable minister of the country. Now that he is supervising the construction of Shouling, it will be overkill and underutilized. I agree to order Liang Yue to enter the court." In desperation, Shang Ren took a step back.
Zhu Qiyu remained calm. Liang Yue was considered a neutral faction, but he had a close relationship with Shi Heng. Liang Yue was dismissed from his post after Tumubao. It was Zhu Qiyu who sent him to Shi Heng's command for meritorious service. In the third year of Jingtai, he was promoted to Baoding for his merits.
Hou, it can be said that he was promoted by Zhu Qiyu, but he is definitely not Zhu Qiyu's person, otherwise he would not supervise the construction of Shouling and stay away from the place of right and wrong.
Shang Ren seemed to be taking a step back, but in fact he wanted to use his power to win over Liang Yue and let Liang Yue join the civil servants. This was equivalent to letting all Zhu Qiyu's efforts go to waste. In other words, anyone can supervise the regiment, but it cannot be Fan Guang.
, Fan Guang has revealed his identity and is Zhu Qiyu’s man.
Zhu Qiyu and the civil officials were fighting, rather than forcing them with swords, because the imperial edict needed to be approved by the cabinet before it could be issued, otherwise Zhu Qiyu's imperial edict would not be able to leave the capital. Otherwise, why would Zhu Qiyu have the patience to argue with them and just use the knife?
Come on.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the cabinet was an auxiliary tool. During the reign of Renzong and Xuanzong, the emperor could still order the cabinet. After Tumu Fortress, the status of civil servants increased. When it came to Zhu Qiyu, the cabinet was already sitting on the emperor's head and began to listen to politics behind the curtain. He was locked in a cage by the civil servants.
The pig, instead of helping him, Xungui helped the civil servant to put another pig in the cage, and he was still complacent. No wonder it declined, a bunch of idiots!
Neither the emperor nor the civil servants spoke, and the atmosphere was tense.
"Shu Liang, cook me a bowl of porridge." After a long night of tossing, Zhu Qiyu was really hungry. He was weak and in urgent need of recuperation.
But he must also spend time with the civil servants and let Fan Guang governor the regiment and camp. He is determined to win. Without the regiment and camp in hand, he has no sense of security and looks like a traitor to everyone. He must tighten his grip on military power and order the palace, imperial guards, and imperial guards.
, and then rebuild the Dongchang and Tiqi, then safety can be guaranteed.
Soon, the porridge was brought, and Zhu Qiyu ate it as if there was no one around. The kneeling minister also swallowed his saliva. He was really hungry. He had been struggling for two hours, was frightened and was kneeling, and everything hurt.
Finally, an old minister fainted. Zhu Qiyu had someone carry him down, and Ai Gao Gao treated him. Seeing that he had fainted and not being punished, many old ministers pretended to be faint. Zhu Qiyu pretended not to see it. Anyway, Ai Gao Gao had no other choice but to donate silver medicine.
Yes, it would be more interesting to treat them like crazy.
"Send a message to the imperial kitchen to prepare some wine and dishes. All the civil and military officials are hungry. I have a bad reputation, but I won't blame the officials harshly, right?" Zhu Qiyu said calmly.
Soon, the dishes were delivered, and they were fragrant, but the emperor did not let them use their chopsticks. Normally, they were not interested in even taking a look at these dishes, but when they were hungry, their mouths were drooling and they really wanted to eat them.
One bite.
Everyone looked at Shang Ren, who was put on the shelf, and kowtowed:
"Your Majesty, it's daybreak. It's time to go to duty. The official duties of various ministries and companies are complicated. There are refugees everywhere in Huguang. There are frequent seedling disturbances. The disaster is raging. Please put the people's livelihood first and don't delay the disaster because of your anger with ministers.
, Your Majesty is the king and father of the people of the world. He has a long-standing reputation as a virtuous person. The suffering of his people feels like pain in his own heart. Please put the victims first and the people's livelihood first, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Qiyu sneered, why don't I see you paying attention to disasters? Every time there is a disaster, you are so greedy, how much money and food do you really get to the victims? You treat my people like pigs and dogs, exploit them when they are used, and let them die when they are not used.
Hum, the life of the people of my Ming Dynasty is too miserable! If I hold the sword, I will kill all the corrupt people! I will kill all these bullshit gentlemen who talk about benevolence, justice and morality!
"Taichang Qing will prepare an edict and order Li Bing. Wang Yue will return to the court, and Fan Guang, Liang Yue, and Li Bing will be appointed. Wang Yue will be the commander of the regiment and camp. I don't want to waste time. I am tired." Zhu Qiyu said lightly. Shang Ren remained silent.
"Didn't Shang Qing always keep the world in mind? Why hasn't he drafted an edict yet? Is the cabinet no longer busy? Or have the refugees in Huguang been resettled? Or has the Miao chaos been calmed down? The disaster has been stabilized just because Shang Qing opened his mouth.
Why don't you speak?"
"What? You just want me to be a wise king! But you want to be Li Shen? Be a tenant farmer? Or you want to be Qin Hui!"
"You want to be Qin Hui! I am not Zhao Gou!"
"Come on, drag down Shang Lu, depose Zuo Chunfang, the Grand Scholar, and Taichang Qing, expel him from the capital, and never hire him again! Wang Wen, you come and draw up the decree!"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly looked at Yu Qian: "Yu Shaofu, the capital camp is in your hands. Is there any problem with the regimental camp commander I appointed?"
Yu Qian's face turned bitter. He had to choose between a name or a title. Should he continue to float in the sky and become a god, or would he fall into a shit pit?
