"I don't dare to deceive my mother and concubine. My son is indeed here for something. Now that the overall situation of the outer court has been decided, my son should also concentrate on government affairs. After all, he must first use the army to suppress the country. The crisis of the country cannot be ignored."
"The son of the outer court asks himself that he is sure that he can control it, but in this palace..."
As the saying goes, before fighting against foreign forces, one must first settle the domestic affairs. Zhu Qiyu himself knew that only by forming a stable ruling system can the people be truly united.
This is what he has been doing these days.
To calm down the civil and military disputes and unify the military power, including today's forced palace, is to form a stable and complete decision-making center as quickly as possible.
But he will never forget that the reason why he did all this is to win this war again.
It's not like in the previous life, where you were beaten to the gate of the capital, showed off your power and then escaped unscathed, but you want to win a real victory!
Thinking of Nawala, they were just a small tribe trembling under the attack of Taizong's army.
If it were not for the benevolence of the two late emperors Renzong and Xuanzong and the openness of trade to each other, how could this small tribe develop so quickly and compete with the Golden Family represented by Tuotuo Buhua.
These ungrateful people are afraid of power but not virtuous, and gentle tactics are of no use to them. Only by using power can they be deterred from having any different intentions.
In his previous life, Zhu Qiyu focused on domestic affairs and never went to war with other countries, but this time, he was far from content with holding on to the city of Beijing.
But at the same time, he also clearly understood that he was able to defeat the Ming Dynasty's more than 200,000 officers and soldiers first. Even though the Ming army had improper command, his own strength should not be underestimated.
Therefore, in the next period of time, he will definitely spend all his energy on government affairs. In contrast, he needs someone to look after the rear for him and not let some people cause trouble...
Wu nodded and said: "The Ai family understands this. Don't worry about this. Now that you are in your position, the Ai family can do whatever you want in the palace. Aren't the ministers in the outer court trying to impeach Wang Zhen's party? This
There are quite a few people in the palace who are involved with Wang Zhen!"
Looking at Wu, whose eyes suddenly became sharp, Zhu Qiyu nodded.
His mother-in-law was not a weak person who had never seen blood. Since she knew it well, Zhu Qiyu didn't say much and said.
"Don't worry, mother and concubine. After tomorrow, my son will assign a capable person to supervise Dongchang. If anything happens to mother and concubine, you can ask Dongchang to help."
After a brief pause, Zhu Qiyu took out a list of names from his sleeve and continued.
"After this incident, I think there are many places where people need to take over. If the concubine doesn't have enough people on hand, these people can be promoted temporarily."
Wu took the list and looked at it, feeling a little surprised.
"Are these people yours?"
It's not that she doesn't believe in her son, but that she has been in the palace for so many years. She doesn't know about the affairs of the outer court, but she still knows whether Zhu Qiyu has deployed people in the inner palace.
On this list, there are more than a dozen names of people, some of whom Wu knows, some of whom she does not know, and some of them are not even of low rank in the inner palace.
If they were said to have been arranged by Zhu Qiyu long ago, Wu would not believe it.
Zhu Qiyu had a headache, and he didn't know how to explain this matter.
The people on this list were all people he had reused in his previous life. Some were smart and adaptable, while others were mature and prudent. But without exception, they were all promoted by him, repaid their kindness, and were loyal to him.
In his previous life, he didn't have that much thought, and he was concerned about the public opinion of the foreign court. He was afraid that the courtiers would talk about him purging the eunuchs left behind by the emperor as soon as he succeeded to the throne, so he did not carry out a thorough purge in the palace.
And adopted gentler methods to control the inner palace.
In this way, it is safe, but there are still many young people left, such as Cao Jixiang, who was once a disciple of Wang Zhen.
But now, he has figured out that since he has obtained the throne, even if he does nothing, the outside world will still talk about him.
After carrying this bad reputation, it is better to live up to it, clean the palace severely, and thoroughly kill all those with evil intentions, so as to feel at ease.
But in this case, his methods will inevitably be more ruthless than in his previous life. Strictly speaking, some of the people on his list are involved with Wang Zhen. After all, Wang Zhen has controlled the inner palace for so many years. If he really has nothing to do with him,
There are actually very few eunuchs involved.
That's why he took out the list and communicated with Wu in advance. However, it was a bit difficult to explain the source of the list.
After thinking about it, Zhu Qiyu could only say: "It's not really mine, it's just that he had a relationship with Cheng Jing before. He was said to be a capable person, so my son thought he could use it."
Mrs. Wu smiled. If Cheng Jing was familiar with those young eunuchs, eunuchs, and supervisors, that would be fine. However, several of them in this list were little-known figures. Cheng Jing was also in the study room after all.
How can I have so much time to get to know them?
Knowing that Zhu Qiyu was perfunctory, Wu didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and put the list away.
Zhu Qiyu said again: "There is another matter. Since the Ministry of Rites has accepted Yi's decree, the enthronement ceremony will be held in a few days. It is appropriate to confer the title of queen together. But you just said that Yun Niang's body is not suitable.
It takes a lot of time and effort, so my son thought that you should take care of the matters in the Sixth Palace."
Mrs. Wu nodded, looked at Zhu Qiyu with a half-smile, and said, "The Ai family still thinks that you want the Hang family in your house to act as the queen?"
Zhu Qiyu blushed. He had indeed doted on the Hang family. In his previous life, if he had known that the Wang family was in poor health, he might have let the Hang family take charge of the Sixth Palace.
However, what he sees and knows now is different from that in his previous life, so he naturally knows how to measure things, and said: "Mother and concubine are joking. How can we overstep our bounds when we are talking about inferiority? My son will not be so confused as to do that."
Wu's expression became more serious and said: "You understand that the position of the main palace is the foundation for the peace of the harem. The first emperor was famous for his fame, but it is only the abolition of the empress that has been criticized to this day."
"Sun is the biological mother of the emperor, but she doesn't get any favor from the outer court. You can know how much the courtiers value this matter. How many concubines will you have in the future? The Ai family doesn't care, but the position of the main palace should not be touched lightly.
, you must remember this."
Zhu Qiyu nodded. In his previous life, the Wu family also advised him this way, but at that time, he abolished the queen in order to establish a prince, and as the throne became increasingly stable, he naturally did not listen.
But with the lessons learned from past mistakes, he would naturally not do it again. He nodded in agreement and Zhu Qiyu said again.
"These two things will trouble my mother and concubine. In addition to these, in fact, when my son came to the palace last time, he had a question. However, there were people from the Queen Mother watching at the time, so it was not easy to ask more questions. Now is the time to ask my mother and concubine to help my son clear up his doubts.
."
When he said this, Wu became interested and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhu Qiyu opened his mouth and gently spit out a name.
