Although Cheng Jing has not yet woken up from the news that the emperor was captured.
But when Zhu Qiyu opened his mouth, he collected his chaotic thoughts and continued.
"There are a lot of discussions outside, but no one is sure. Some say that the emperor won a great victory, and some say that he also won a great victory all the way first. The emperor cannot defeat him, and maybe even the capital cannot be saved. In short, all kinds of things
All."
"The senior officials of the Sixth Department are also panicking. It is said that they have not dealt with much affairs for most of the day."
"But not long after you entered the palace, Your Majesty, several elders from the Sixth Department left the palace."
"Immediately afterwards, news came out that the army was attacked by a sneak attack and suffered heavy losses. Several senior officials are urgently discussing countermeasures, so everyone should stay in their respective positions and not make random speculations."
"There are a few old men sitting in various ministries, and the rumors have gradually subsided. However, there are still many officers and soldiers on duty at the Ministry of War."
"Seeing that nothing major happened, I left some people guarding the palace gate and outside the six departments. I will come back and wait for you to return home."
Although he was still shocked in his heart, Cheng Jing had already prepared the draft, and it was quite organized.
Zhu Qiyu pondered.
This is also expected.
Messages certainly cannot be blocked, but they still need to be controlled.
Today's informal court meeting has initially set the general direction of sticking to the capital.
In the next period of time, we must first make a detailed garrison plan, and then announce the whole story to the ministers after the detailed military report arrives in Beijing.
In other words, only when the upper-level bosses have unified their attitudes and plans will they be conveyed to the lower level.
Time is still too tight...
Zhu Qiyu sighed, looked up at the sky, and suddenly asked.
"What time is it now?"
Cheng Jing was stunned for a moment, but he still replied: "Go back to your lord, it's probably almost time."
That means it's past noon.
Zhu Qiyu turned around and asked Xing'an: "When will the king leave the palace?"
Xing'an replied: "It should be the first quarter of noon."
In other words, it has been almost an hour since he left the palace.
Based on this calculation, there should be some movement in the palace at this moment...
Just as he was thinking this, a maid came in from outside and said a few words in Cheng Jing's ear.
After hearing this, Cheng Jing waved his hand to let people go down and said: "Your Majesty, someone is coming from the palace. It is Eunuch Jin Ying. He said that there is an order from the Queen Mother. Please go out and receive the order."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed.
finally come.
The mother-in-law's movements were not slow.
Zhu Qiyu got up from the couch and said.
"You go to the front hall and wait there. Tell Jin Ying that I will go there after I change my clothes."
Cheng Jing retreated to the front hall, while Zhu Qiyu got up and changed his clothes.
…………
Because it was an edict from the Queen Mother, not an imperial edict from the Emperor.
There is no need to set up incense tables, burn incense and take baths in such red tape.
Zhu Qiyu changed his outer clothes and came to the front hall.
Cheng Jing is talking to Jin Ying.
Seeing Zhu Qiyu coming, he quickly stood up and said.
"I have met the prince."
Following Jin Ying, there were several officials carrying medicine boxes on their backs. Two of them were quite old and had gray hair, and the rest looked to be in their thirties.
Along with Jin Ying, he stood up and saluted.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at them and could probably identify two of them, both from Taiyuan Hospital.
He doesn't talk nonsense and gets straight to the point.
"There is no need to be too polite. Eunuch Jin is here, but he has an edict to convey?"
"yes……"
After saying that, Jin Ying straightened up, took out a piece of silk from his sleeve, unfolded it and said.
"The Empress Dowager Yi issued the decree, and King Qi Yu accepted the decree."
"I accept the order."
Zhu Qiyu fell to the ground and said.
"The Empress Dowager decreed..."
"The former captured bandits and invaded our border, and the emperor personally led the six armies to go out. There has been an edict, ordering Qi Yu, the king of Tan, to stay in the capital and supervise the administration of the country."
"Now that the emperor has been on an expedition for more than a month, he has not yet returned to the court with his troops. The state affairs cannot be left unattended for a long time. I have hereby ordered Qi Yu, King of Erxi, to take charge of all officials for the time being and supervise the affairs of the state."
"You have to work hard day and night to lead the way at home and abroad, and do not neglect your political affairs or neglect your people. I am so grateful."
"I, King Qi Yu, would like to obey the Queen Mother's decree."
Zhu Qiyu took the silk and unfolded it to take a look.
I saw the Queen Mother's seal on it, and felt a little relieved.
Although the edict states that "for the time being, the chief minister will take charge of all officials and supervise the affairs of the state," as long as we have this edict, the next thing will be easy to handle.
Jin Ying was waiting at the side, and when Zhu Qiyu put away his imperial edict, he spoke.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has more instructions."
"The first thing to do is the bosses of these hospitals."
"The Queen Mother is thinking that the prince has just recovered from a serious illness, so she wants to supervise the administration of the country. She is afraid that you will make another mistake, so she specially appointed these two doctors from the Tai Hospital. In the next few days, they will live in Prince Xin's Mansion to take care of the prince.
"
Zhu Qiyu stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
The officials from the Imperial Hospital stood up and hurriedly returned the greetings.
Immediately, Cheng Jing took these people down and settled down first.
After they all left the front hall, Jin Yingcai continued.
"The second thing is to facilitate the prince's administration. The Queen Mother has ordered people to clean out the Jiyi Palace. In the future, when government affairs are required, the prince can handle them in the Jiyi Palace."
Zhu Qiyu nodded, indicating that he understood.
This is another place that is different from the previous life.
In the previous life, all government affairs were sent directly to Prince Tan's Mansion.
After all, entering the palace to handle political affairs has always been the prerogative of the emperor and the prince.
Empress Dowager Sun was more generous this time.
So Jin Ying continued.
"The last thing is that since you are in charge of the administration, you will need people around you. Our family is not talented. We are temporarily in charge of the ceremonial and supervisory affairs. We are relatively familiar with the government and state affairs. The Queen Mother has a destiny. In the following days,
Our family will stay in Jiyi Hall, accompany the prince, and assist him in handling government affairs."
After hearing this, Zhu Qiyu raised his head, glanced at Jin Ying with interest, and said.
"Is this what the Queen Mother means?"
This sounds a bit unreasonable.
Jin Ying is the dignified Eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch who oversees rituals. He is one of the most respected ministers among the ministers. If he comes to deliver the decree in person, can it be false?
But Zhu Qiyu asked without changing his expression.
He believed that Jin Ying understood what he was asking.
Logically speaking.
He supervises the affairs of the country as a member of the clan. Even if he has the Queen Mother's edict, he always lacks prestige. Jin Ying, as the chief minister among the ministers, is enough to support him.
What's more, he is an "idle prince" who has not had much contact with national affairs. Naturally, he needs the assistance of a minister who is familiar with government affairs.
It's reasonable, but not in line with Queen Mother Sun's style.
Even when she issues an edict, she is stingy and insists on adding the word "temporarily". How can she be so generous and ask someone to help him support her?
Jin Ying was calm and bowed her hands.
"The Empress Dowager originally wanted the prince to send all the government affairs that have been dealt with to Cining Palace! But I think it is inappropriate. On the one hand, the empress is so troubled and troublesome, and on the other hand, it will also cause material disputes from outside the court."
"So I advised the empress and suggested that I should accompany the prince. Firstly, it is reasonable and reasonable. Secondly, I am familiar with government affairs and will follow the prince. I will pick important things to report to the Queen Mother every day. If there is an emergency, I can still do it.
Intervene directly.”
