"What did you say?!" Zhu Qiyu, who had just ascended the throne for less than two months, couldn't help but stand up and stared dumbfounded at the new Minister of War, Yu Qian, who was speaking in front of him.
"Your Majesty, Grand Master Nawasi ordered people to shout outside the city. The Emperor is in his military tent and ordered us to send envoys to greet him." Yu Qian had no choice but to repeat it again.
Zhu Qiyu's face turned pale and his eyes were a little distracted. "What do you think, sir?"
"Your Majesty, this is a vicious plan of the Wazai bandits. If our army closes the city gate and ignores it, those Wazai bandits will definitely use this as an excuse to make a big fuss, and it will also be detrimental to the Supreme Emperor." Baifa.
Wang Zhi, Cang Cang's official minister, came out of the crowd and spoke loudly.
As soon as Wang Zhi said this, the court fell into a dead silence again. The topic of Emperor Zhu Qizhen was a taboo topic in front of the new emperor Zhu Qiyu, but now, it had to be brought up.
Zhu Qiyu fell silent, looking at Wang Zhi, who was over sixty years old, with blazing eyes. The fists hidden under the dragon case were already clenched until his knuckles turned white. He was very angry, yes, at this moment he felt in his heart
Full of endless grievances and anger.
From mid-August to the present, his brother has gone from being the aloof Ming Emperor to being a prisoner of the Waci barbarians in the blink of an eye, and he has also been transformed from a powerless man who can only spend his time in his own palace depressed and dull.
The lifelong prince was suddenly dragged out and almost violently forced to assume the position that belonged to his elder brother.
However, Zhu Qiyu, who originally ascended the throne involuntarily, soon discovered the benefits of becoming an emperor. The important officials in the court who originally disdained him as a prince became subservient, just to be promoted to a higher position.
He is no longer the prince who is trapped in the palace and can do nothing but hide and seek in the palace and create people. Instead, he is an emperor who can control the power of the world and dominate the Ming Dynasty.
The change of status allowed Zhu Qiyu to adapt to and fall in love with his current status in just over a month. He finally discovered how glorious and glorious it is to rule the world. Even though the Ming Dynasty is now in a critical stage of survival, he
But he can no longer part with what he has already obtained. The originally lofty throne is his own, and neither can anyone else, including his brother who is inferior to him.
But now, looking at those ministers, after hearing that his brother, who was disgraced and thrown into the prairie, and now the Supreme Emperor, appeared again at the gate of Beijing, the seemingly calm expressions of those ministers made him feel that they were harboring evil intentions.
.
Under the silence in the court, there was an indescribable and strange smell. At this time, Wang Wen, the imperial censor, saw the look from Zhu Qiyu's confidant eunuch Wang Cheng, who was standing beside the emperor, and felt something in his heart.
He jumped out of the crowd, opened his eyes and shouted: "Then what your lord Wang wants is to send envoys to welcome the Supreme Emperor? Huh, if the Wazai thieves have the intention of defrauding the city, they can take advantage of the opportunity when I welcome the Supreme Emperor to attack.
Capital Master, what should we do?"
As soon as this statement came out, all the important ministers in the court were all smart and thoughtful. Several ministers stood up one after another and echoed Wang Wen's words.
However, there were many people who agreed with Wang Zhi's words. Although the ministers behaved very politely and quoted scriptures endlessly, within the time of the meeting, the originally silent court became noisy again, with red faces and thick necks.
It has the posture of original wall exposure.
Zhu Qiyu's face gradually became better, and he looked at Wang Wen with a hint of approval. This Wang Wen was promoted by himself after being recommended by his confidant eunuch Wang Cheng. Now, as expected,
It has been of great use. Among the ministers who have stepped forward now, many of them were ministers who were promoted after he ascended the throne.
Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that his brother had taken away a large number of important civil and military ministers during his campaign. Otherwise, it would have been rare for him to have so many official positions to promote his confidants.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say!" At this time, a clear and rich voice suddenly stopped the noise in the court. The speaker was Yu Qian, the Minister of War who first reported the news.
"If Yu Aiqing has any good advice, it's okay to say it." For other people, Zhu Qiyu may not believe it, but for Yu Qian, Zhu Qiyu has a vague trust. Yu Qian made Zhu Qiyu understand a truth. He Yu Qian is a person who has great confidence in the Ming Dynasty.
He is a loyal and good minister, and he is also a minister who knows how to adapt to changes and understand people's hearts.
Yu Qian replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, you have been wandering around our territory of the Ming Dynasty for more than a month, always using the Supreme Emperor as bait in the hope of making great profits. If you had wanted to release the Supreme Emperor first, you should have released him long ago, so why wait until today?"
?Besides, if we let the Supreme Emperor go, he will have no quality in his hands, and our powerful soldiers in several towns in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty will no longer have any scruples..."
After hearing this, the ministers who were opposed to taking the Emperor back to the capital or who were willing to take the Emperor back to the capital all showed deep thoughts and surprises, and Zhu Qiyu's expression became more and more cheerful, because Yu Qian's analysis was indeed reasonable, at least Zhu Qiyu also
I felt that if I were the first, unless my IQ suddenly dropped to zero, there would be no way I could give my brother back so easily.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at the silent ministers in the court, and said with a pleasant expression: "What Yu Aiqing said makes sense, so how should we respond?"
"If I don't send an envoy to respond, people in the world will think that the Ming Dynasty is afraid of his mere Wazi. Therefore, I thought I should send an envoy. I have two candidates here. I hope your majesty will approve them." Yu Qian took a deep breath.
, buried his head lower.
"Just tell me."
"I recommend Wang Fu to be the Councilor of the General Affairs Department, and Zhao Rong from Zhongshushe."
"..." Everyone's eyes widened, and Zhu Qiyu was no better, staring straight at Yu Qian who was still talking seriously.
Wang Zhi couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Yu Qian, but Yu Qian's head was always hanging down. No one could see his true expression clearly, but his voice seemed so stable and calm. "This is
Both of them are pillars of the country and are qualified to take on this important task. I hope your majesty will give you permission."
"I second the proposal!" Wang Wen, the censor of the capital, stood up and shouted loudly. Then, more and more people stood up and agreed in unison. The smile on Zhu Qiyu's stiff face became thicker and thicker. "Yu."
What Ai Qing has written is the advice of an old man in planning for the country, and I am sure of it."
After hearing that the emperor agreed to Yu Qian's proposal, there were more than a dozen ministers who did not come forward to comment. They all closed their eyes in unison, with expressions of helplessness and disappointment. The emperor's life was probably at risk...
