Yu Qian thought for a while and said: "In the fourteenth year of Zhengtong, His Majesty the Baozong mobilized the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty to march north to conquer the enemy. The eunuch Wang Zhen relied on his favor and exclusive power, which caused the shame of Tumu Fortress. Later, His Majesty ascended the throne, united the army and the people, and tried his best to save the country. The edifice fell before the generals, and the ministers bowed their bodies to the country, wielded their swords in the dangerous city, retreated the enemies who were in front of them, and stabilized the hearts of the ruling and barbaric people. Although they dare not take credit, the people and courtiers in the world regard the humble minister as the pivot, which leads to the disharmony between the emperor and his ministers. This is the time , if I am a minister, I should return my power and clear my mind, so as to stabilize the court and stabilize the border. However, your majesty is kind, but Mobei is ambitious. I am bathed in the light of Yongle, dyed with the glory of Xuande, longing for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and worried about your majesty's kindness. He made the same mistake when he went to the Song Dynasty. He was infamous and arrogant in the court. He fought for policies and implemented the state government, and went down to conquer the Ming Dynasty and admonish the Qing Dynasty. He had no other ears, but he only wanted to be a bright man."
Zhu Jianji felt relaxed and happy after hearing this.
Yu Qian's words are a reflection of his heart.
The implication is that after the Tumubao Incident in the 14th year of Zhengtong, he and Zhu Qiyu worked together to turn the tide, but Yu Qian did not take the credit, thinking that Zhu Qiyu was the first contributor. Yu Qian came from the Yongle era and witnessed the peak of the Ming Dynasty. He was worried that Zhu Qiyu had a kind personality and would be too weak in the northern strategy. Therefore, even if he was suspected of being a powerful official, Yu Qian still firmly controlled the military power in order to stabilize the situation of the Ming Dynasty after the Tumubao Incident and prevent the Ming Dynasty from repeating the Song Dynasty. He made the same mistake, so he was burdened with infamy, implemented the policies of the imperial court in the state capital, and sent local advice to the Qianqing Palace, and dedicated his life to bringing glory to the Ming Dynasty.
This explains the reason why Yu Qian never let go of military power from the first year of Jingtai to the eighth year of Jingtai.
It's a heart-to-heart talk.
Zhu Jianji nodded slightly, "You can learn from Shaobao's heart by the sun and the moon!"
Yu Qian smiled and said, "Your Highness is ridiculous, and I feel ashamed for receiving it. In the eighth year of Jingtai, Your Highness held the east wind at Zhengyang Gate, and used the weak troops of the Jinyi Guards to kill Wang Ji, Shi Heng, and Xu Youzhen to put an end to the chaos. In the ninth year of Jingtai, His Highness made plans to quell the rebellion of Shen Yu, Liang Jue, Fang Ying and others. In the tenth year of Jingtai, His Highness went to Fujian to quell the Jianwen chaos. In the seventeenth year of Jingtai, His Highness led 10,000 young troops to Hami and Yingzhongxia. In the first battle, 50,000 enemy cavalry were destroyed with zero battle, which shocked the past and present. It even swept across the front line from west to east, reappearing the glory of Yongle of our Ming Dynasty outside the Pass. In the eighteenth year of Jingtai, His Highness conquered Taiwan in one battle, and used his troops exquisitely. Outside the pass, the coalition forces of the Mongolian tribes in Mobei were once again swept away."
After a pause, "Your Highness's grace has matched that of His Highness King Yan back then!"
When Zhu Jianji heard this, the pores all over his body felt refreshed.
If someone else praised him like this, he would be wary.
But the person who praised him so much was Yu Qian. This was definitely what Yu Qian was saying. The Great Wall of Ming Dynasty, which is famous in history, praised him so much. How could Zhu Jianji not be disappointed?
Yu Mian and Zhu Ji on the side nodded frequently.
Yu Qian continued: "I am in the Ministry of War with an old body. I originally wanted to follow the character of Duke Yi Min. However, His Highness is a powerful man. I think that I can be a wise king, control the world, and shape the future. Your Highness's style can be Chasing Yongle can be compared to the Han Dynasty, and we can hope for the First Emperor. Here, I feel at ease and can go!"
This is very interesting.
What Yu Qian means is that if you, Zhu Jianji, are so awesome, you will definitely be a wise king in the prosperous times. This world is yours and the future will be yours, so I, Yu Qian, can feel relieved and can leave the court to retire in peace.
Having said so much, in short, I have one meaning: In the past, Yu Qian faced infamy in the court and did not delegate power because he was worried, but now that the prince is so awesome, Yu Qian has nothing to worry about.
Zhu Jianji was greatly shocked when he heard this.
This is the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty.
But one thing is unclear.
Zhu Jianji asked: "Yu Shaobao, when Shi Heng, Fang Ying and others made trouble twice, why did you stand by and watch?"
After asking this question, Zhu Jianji felt a little nervous.
Because this is an eternal mystery!
If Yu Qian is willing to tell, then this eternal mystery will be revealed today!
Yu Qian was silent for a while, "As His Highness thought."
Zhu Jianji: "..."
That should be the case. What Yu Qian said must be what he thought. After all, Zhu Qiyu was the emperor who came to the throne because of the Tumu Fort Incident, and Zhu Qizhen was the orthodox emperor who was passed down according to procedures.
Yu Qian was loyal to Ming Dynasty.
He is not loyal to Zhu Qiyu, nor is he loyal to Zhu Qizhen.
Therefore, facing the struggle for imperial power between two emperors who ascended the throne through formal and legal procedures, Yu Qian could only choose to sit on the sidelines, otherwise in his heart, no matter who he helped, he would be disloyal to the Ming Dynasty.
The most intuitive point is that Yu Qian just said that in the 14th year of Zhengtong, he called Zhu Qizhen Baozong.
The temple name Baozong was given through legal procedures.
The vegetable temple was also established through legal procedures.
Yu Qian accepted the temple name of Baozong and recognized Caimiao, which shows that Yu Qian's loyalty to Zhu Qizhen is just the loyalty of a Ming official to the Ming imperial power.
That's too far.
No matter what, I have to convince Yu Qian not to become an official today.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "Yu Shaobao, many of Gu's current measures have achieved results. Mobei is in decline, and the Jurchens have nothing to fear. The recovery of Annan is also being implemented. Gu has reached an intention with His Majesty. Jingtai 29
Before the year, the territory of the Ming Dynasty will include Mobei, Jurchen, Annan, and Japan. After that, the Ming Dynasty will focus on expanding its territory to the Indochina Peninsula and overseas. Gu's intention is to create the strongest dynasty in history that surpasses the Yuan Dynasty. Yu Shaobao
He has served the country all his life and is an immortal hero of the Ming Dynasty. He should be the head of the hundred officials and enjoy the scenery of this prosperous age with his father and son in Fengtian Hall and Qianqing Hall!"
After a pause, "Yi Mingong didn't see the glory. I hope Yu Shaobao can witness it with his own eyes."
What else did Yu Qian want to say.
Zhu Jianji waved his sleeves and stood up, "That's it. Yu Shaobao's resignation is not allowed by Gu. If Yu Shaobao is old, the Ministry of War is busy with affairs, and he is physically and mentally exhausted, Gu will handle it."
At worst, the Ministry of War will add another minister.
I also worry that I am too strong.
Added: "Yu Shaobao, Gu is still young, and many things have to rely on experienced old people like you to take the helm. And you know Lao Zhu. Now that he is lying down, he just wants to be a nibbler."
Emperor, as a wise emperor in his prime, during the time when I went on an expedition to Taiwan, the most common thing he said was, "We will discuss it later when the prince comes back." So, can you rest assured with such an emperor? I can't rest assured either. Li Xi'er was not sent out of the palace on the front foot.
, two more young female leaders from the Jiaofang Division came in on the back foot? If I hadn’t supported him, this guy would have definitely been a fool in future generations.”
Yu Qian couldn't help but be happy.
Yu Mian and Zhu Ji on the side were also secretly amused.
Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince...
He is truly your majesty's great eldest son, and the sure-fire Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty - even after reading through the history books, I can't find any prince who dared to say that about his father.
