Ming: I am fake, walking on thin ice
Chapter 61 I am not Jianwen!
Chapter 61 I am not Jianwen!
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Qizhen looked at Zhu Qiyu in front of him and spread his hands: "Second brother, what do you want to do? You suddenly support me, and I feel panic."
Zhu Qiyu bowed respectfully: "Brother Emperor, if I don't support you, who else can I support? Hey, I am also surnamed Zhu, and we can't let outsiders have the final say on our country!"
"Didn't your mother force you to do that?" Zhu Qizhen asked half-jokingly.
Zhu Qiyu shrugged helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, I will leave the capital tomorrow. It doesn't matter where I get the fief. I will just go there to be a vassal. Is that all right?"
Zhu Qizhen smiled, stood up and walked to Zhu Qiyu, patted his shoulder affectionately, and laughed: "Brothers are united, and their strength is invincible! Of course I believe in my brother."
Zhu Qiyu looked respectful and bowed slightly: "I will do my best to assist Your Majesty in the future."
Wu Xingdao's words came to his mind.
First, he had to unite with the emperor and drive the empress dowager off the stage, and then he would have a chance. He just drove the empress dowager off the stage and took the opportunity to gather her power.
As for how to gather the Queen Mother's power, Wu Xingdao did not say, but he believed in Wu Xingdao. With this military advisor, he was full of confidence.
"Second brother, now all the princes are against me, I have a hard time." Zhu Qizhen sighed, "It's too difficult to do something practical."
"Your Majesty, it's time to use thunderous means." Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly, "Those princes have become parasites of the Ming Dynasty! They don't even think about it. Without the Ming Dynasty, how can they have their glory and wealth?"
Zhu Qizhen nodded slowly, expressing his agreement: "I am waiting for news from Qizhou."
Zhu Qiyu's face was slightly tangled, and then he bowed: "Killing the King of Jing is far from enough! Your Majesty, I got the news that the King of Zheng cursed your Majesty... He cursed your Majesty in the palace. I will go and capture him! They have committed many evil deeds, not inferior to the King of Jing."
Zhu Qizhen frowned.
He knew that King Zheng was scolding him because he had imprisoned the King's son.
"Okay, go to the Jinyiwei to mobilize people, and come back quickly!" He waved his hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhu Qiyu bowed and walked out.
……
After Zhu Qiyu left, Zhu Qizhen frowned and thought alone. He didn't believe that Zhu Qiyu would really help him. However, they used each other, and it depended on who would get to the end.
"The current situation is a bit like the Jianwen period." He whispered to himself, "Although the current princes have almost no real power, we still have to be on guard. I am not Jianwen!"
He pondered for a while and ordered someone to call Yu Qian to see him.
Now, Yu Qian is in charge of military affairs, and the Five Military Commands Office must listen to him. Let Yu Qian stabilize the army and monitor the movements of the princes in various places to prevent accidents.
After a while, Yu Qian came into the palace and still paid his respects meticulously. Zhu Qizhen stood up to help him up and smiled: "Accompany me to walk outside the palace. Alas, this palace is really boring without palace maids dancing."
Yu Qian: “!!!”
The two of them walked outside the palace and along the corridor, with Yu Qian always half a body length behind. Zhu Qizhen sighed as he walked, "You saw what happened in the court today. I am walking on thin ice."
"Your Majesty, you don't want to give up, do you?" Yu Qian asked.
"How could that be?" Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, "I have just ordered Prince Qing to arrest Prince Zheng."
Yu Qian frowned and said, "Your Majesty, if you arrest two princes in a row, the other princes will probably be uneasy. I am worried that they will take risks."
"That's why I asked you to come here." Zhu Qizhen smiled, "You have to monitor the movements of the princes in various places at all times. You are in charge of military affairs now, so your words are more effective than mine."
Yu Qian smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty, can you be less probing?"
Zhu Qizhen laughed: "Of course I trust the Grand Protector more." On the contrary, he liked Yu Qian to speak directly, which meant that Yu Qian was close to him.
……
At dusk, inside Kunning Palace.
The Queen Mother lay lazily on her side, her long palace dress outlining her slender and graceful figure, her black hair falling like a waterfall around her waist. The maid Shuangxi hurried in with a spy letter in her hand, and reported anxiously: "Queen Mother, this is what Lord Xu Bin sent back from Mobei."
The queen mother, who had originally closed her eyes to rest, suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, her long sleeves fluttering, her hands elegantly folded on her belly, looking dignified and elegant. She looked around and calmly ordered: "Leave the intelligence behind, and you all retreat."
Shuangxi gently placed the intelligence report on the table, and then quietly left with the palace maids and eunuchs. The Queen Mother hurriedly picked up the intelligence report, glanced at it quickly, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She tried her best to suppress the urge to cry, her hands trembling slightly: "My poor son!"
It turned out that Xu Bin described the situation of the Zhengtong Emperor in Mobei in detail in the letter, and the empress dowager was worried and heartbroken. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and the empress dowager quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and hid the letter in her sleeve.
"Mother, your son has come to pay his respects to you." Zhu Qizhen strode into the hall and bowed respectfully to the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother looked at him with a cold gaze and said calmly, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs. You don't have to come to pay respects every day. I don't value these empty formalities."
"I really want to visit you, mother." Zhu Qizhen stepped forward. "I heard that you are not feeling well recently. I am willing to accompany you to take a walk in the Imperial Garden."
As he spoke, he reached out to help the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother also stretched out her hand out of habit, but when her hand was held by Zhu Qizhen, her heart suddenly shuddered.
This is not my son!
"Mother, you have to move around more often." Zhu Qizhen held the empress dowager's soft hand and helped her walk out.
"I understand your majesty's filial piety." A hint of coldness flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes.
As the sun sets, the Imperial Garden is shrouded in a golden afterglow.
Zhu Qizhen sniffed the faint fragrance of the empress dowager, looked at her closely, and admired her in his heart. This ancient maintenance technique is really amazing. How can the empress dowager look like someone who has given birth to a child? The mature charm she exudes is incomparable to that of ordinary women.
"Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with those princes?" the Queen Mother suddenly asked.
"Of course we will deal with it according to the law." Zhu Qizhen answered without hesitation.
Arriving at the pavilion, the Queen Mother tried to withdraw her hand, but Zhu Qizhen exerted a little force, causing the Queen Mother's jade fingers to turn white. However, he finally let go of her hand and asked, "Mother, what do you think about this?"
He looked directly at the Queen Mother boldly. This look and tone made the Queen Mother feel uncomfortable. She lowered her eyes slightly and said, "I never interfere in the affairs of the royal family. You can do whatever you want!"
"I just hope that the Ming Dynasty can become stronger." Zhu Qizhen sighed softly, "I think the late emperor also had such a wish?"
A cold look flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes: "Although the late emperor loved to play, he was never confused about major issues."
"My son will surpass the late emperor." Zhu Qizhen smiled.
The Queen Mother turned her head away and said nothing.
Zhu Qizhen bowed and said, "My son still has a few memorials to deal with, so I'll take my leave."
Having said that, he strode away.
The Queen Mother looked at his back with a frown on her face.
A weak request for votes!
