"I wonder when Yu Qing is going to return to the court and take up your responsibilities?" After Zhu Qizhen took a sip of tea, he sat up straight and said sternly to Yu Qian.
Yu Qian couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't even notice that the teacup in his hand was almost overturned. He stared blankly at Zhu Qizhen. After a long while, he squeezed out two hoarse, dry words full of doubts from his throat:
"His Majesty?……"
"Yu Qing, please don't forget that you are the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty. Now that all matters in the grassland have been decided, the troops and horses sent by each town must also return to the border towns to discuss their merits, reward them, and report their duties. All things are troubled, sir.
In charge of the Ministry of War, many matters require your approval or personal handling." Zhu Qizhen said with a smile and stroked his brow.
Yu Qian took a deep breath and lowered his head. He never thought that Zhu Qizhen's visit incognito would be for this matter. Such honor made Yu Qian feel really flattered. "...
Your Majesty must also know why your Majesty treats your ministers like this..."
"How much do I know about the affairs of the world?" Before Yu Qian finished speaking, Zhu Qizhen interrupted Yu Qian's words. "I only know that you, Yu Qian, stepped forward when the Ming Dynasty was in danger, in order to protect our Ming Dynasty.
The imperial capital was peaceful and sleepless, so that our Ming Dynasty did not suffer the calamity of Jingkang of the previous Song Dynasty, and it also made Waci dare not invade from the south, so that our Ming Dynasty got a chance to breathe, and I was able to pacify the grassland and avenge the shame of the past."
"Your Majesty..." After hearing what Zhu Qizhen said, Yu Qian couldn't help but feel his eyes getting hot, and there was a bit of uncontrollable sobs in his hoarse voice.
"A few days ago, I asked Governor Yang and Wang Shangshu to come to visit Yu Qing. They didn't want to, but they all declined because of your politeness. Now, I'm here just to ask you, Yu Qing. Do you still remember Ya Sheng?
"The people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important." What you want to work hard for are the tens of thousands of people of the Ming Dynasty, the country, the country, and the country, or just one emperor and one emperor?" Looking at the eyes, his eyes were slightly red.
Yu Qian, Zhu Qizhen asked in a deep voice.
"The people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important..." Chewing these words, Yu Qian suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhu Qizhen, who had already stood up straight with his hands behind his back, standing in front of him.
Looking at his clear and bright eyes and that heroic face, Yu Qian was shocked in his heart by these words that were like the sound of a big bell in Luhuang. His mind was shaken and his mind was confused.
Then it gradually became clearer and clearer.
In a trance, Yu Qian seemed to see himself decades ago, sitting at the desk, holding a book in his hand, following the teacher's recitation, using his still immature voice to recite, those sages passed down
Wisdom and maxims from the ages.
When he was twelve years old, he wrote "Song of Lime" and boasted that when he grew up, he would be determined to serve the common people in the world, and what he did would be the character of China...

"I have come to look for you because of the country and the country of Ming Dynasty. I hope that you will live up to what you have learned in your life and do what you should do for the common people in the world, instead of sitting in the house and feeling sorry for yourself.
In this way, I don't know Yu Qian, and I feel sorry for Prime Minister Wen, who you regard as a role model." Zhu Qizhen looked at Yu Qian whose face changed several times and had a complicated expression, and left such a sentence, and said no more, never mind.
He took out a piece of tissue paper, placed it on the table, turned around and walked out of the hall.
Looking at Zhu Qizhen's retreating figure, Yu Qian finally woke up from his thoughts and bowed deeply in the direction of Zhu Qizhen: "I, Yu Qian, obey the holy orders respectfully and will live up to your majesty."
"If you don't let me down, you won't let me down." Zhu Qizhen paused slightly, smiled slightly, stood on the steps of the hall door, and left such a sentence before the guards who had gathered around him
Under the protection of Yu Mansion, he walked straight towards the gate of Yu Mansion.
After watching Zhu Qizhen's back disappear, Yu Qian slowly moved to the seat where Zhu Qizhen was sitting just now, picked up the note left by Zhu Qizhen and looked at it carefully, and saw the words on it.
After reading the content, Yu Qian couldn't help showing a strange expression, but soon, Yu Qian showed a look of surprise on his face, tightly held the note left by Zhu Qizhen, and bowed respectfully in the direction of the Forbidden City...
…
The servants in Yu Mansion's house couldn't help but be curious and puzzled when they saw this scene in the hall. However, they were unable to get any answers, because after Yu Qian regained his composure, there was a sound of fire and candles.
, turning all the notes left by Zhu Qizhen into ashes.
"Your Majesty, are you going to see Yu Qian?" Chen Xun, the chief minister of the cabinet, heard what the servant in the mansion said. He couldn't help but look stunned at first, and then let out a long breath. The gloom that had accumulated in his heart these days was all gone.
Go, the smile on his face makes the wrinkles on his face stretch out like chrysanthemum petals.
"Your Majesty went to see Yu Qian in person... Hahaha, well, with such magnanimity and courage, not to mention that King Xi can't match it, I'm afraid...hehe" Wang Zhi leaned into Yang Hong's ear and whispered,
Yang Hong couldn't help but show a knowing smile and shook his head. "However, if your Majesty does this, he may not know what kind of trouble he will cause in the court."
"That's not true. Yu Tingyi has always been an upright and unbiased man. He puts the country first in everything and behaves in his own way. He can be an example for others. If you want to criticize him, I would like to argue with those people.
." Lao Wang stroked his long beard and laughed loudly.
Yang Hong's white eyebrows raised, but his voice was full of hesitation and hesitation. "What Yang is worried about is not Yu Shangshu alone, but Wang Wen and others. Tell me, will His Majesty..." Yang Hong raised his head
He raised his right hand, pointed it into a knife, and waved it lightly. This simple action made Lao Wang Zhi's expression suddenly change.
"You mean..." Lao Wang couldn't help but frown, stroking his long beard and being silent for a long time. After a long time, he smiled sadly. "Now, no one can guess what His Majesty is thinking. Wang Wen and others have issued an imperial edict.
I have been in prison for half a month, but the original copies of all the ministers and servants have been retained, which is really hard to understand."
The two sat in silence for a while. Wang Zhi took a deep breath, took a sip of hot tea, and then asked Yang Hong: "Grand Governor, according to your opinion, should Wang Wen and others stay? Your Majesty will
Won’t you stay?”
"This..." Yang Hong couldn't help but fell into depression again. Yes, King Xi has been under house arrest now, but in the past two years, he has also recruited many subordinates who are loyal to him. These people have experienced
After such a long period of time, although he could not form a majority in the court, he still occupied a key position.

After all, the saying "one emperor and one courtier" has been used throughout the ages. Since Zhu Qiyu came to power, he has found a lot of excuses to demote and dismiss many officials, and then use these official positions to promote and win over a group of officials. These people
, if everyone stays, let alone others, no one can be sure what will happen in the future.
At the beginning, in order to put an end to all troubles, Emperor Taizong Zhu Di conquered Nanjing and seized the imperial power. The sword in his hand was stained with the blood of many of Emperor Jianwen's ministers. When he thought of the famous official of the Jianwen Dynasty, Fang Xiaoru,
Even an experienced military official like Yang Hong couldn't help but feel a little shuddering at the fact that ten clans were being executed.
"Your Majesty's bravery and courage are no less than those of Emperor Taizong. However, his filial piety, justice and generosity are even greater than those of Emperor Taizong. As for the lives of Wang Shangshu and others, Yang is a warrior after all, and I really don't dare to speculate on it." In the end, Yang
Hong could only give Zhu Qizhen this evaluation. At least the fate of those ministers was indeed beyond his ability to guess.
"Yes, in my opinion, Your Majesty is indeed ambitious and determined to innovate in order to prosper our Ming Dynasty. Now, if he returns to the throne with the help of destroying the country and establishing a state, I'm afraid..." Old Wang Zhi's brows could not help but tighten.
"Although I don't like Wang Wen's style of conduct, after all, he is a capable person, and among the officials promoted today, although many are mediocre people who rely on flattery, but...
There are also some capable talents.”
"I don't know what the emperor will think. I just hope it won't cause too much trouble. The Ming Dynasty can't withstand such a toss." Yang Hong also nodded and said while stroking his long beard.
However, even though they said this, both Yang Hong and Wang Zhi understood that these were just words of comfort to each other. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, such things have never been bloody, and the fate of the loser is self-evident.
.
"Master, Your Majesty has an order. Please come and receive it." Hearing this, Old Wang couldn't help but froze. He quickly complained to Yang Hong and asked him to wait for a while. Then he went to the front hall, but Zhu Zhu
As soon as he smelled the fragrance, Lao Wangzhi, who had a puzzled look on his face, walked back slowly.
"What's wrong with the old minister?" Yang Hong saw the expression on Lao Wang Zhi's face and couldn't help but wonder what kind of instructions Zhu Qizhen gave the old minister to make him behave like this.
"I really can't guess what kind of medicine is sold in your majesty's gourd..." Old Wang smiled bitterly and took out the roll of yellow silk imperial edict from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Hong.
After Yang Hong finished reading the contents of the imperial edict, he couldn't help but become confused. "This, Your Majesty, this is..."
"I am acting as the Minister of Dali Temple. The former Zuo Vice-du Censor Xuan was the Zuo Du Censor of the Imperial Procuratorate. Lin Cong, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments. What does your Majesty want to do?" Old Wang sat back down in his chair.
Sitting on the chair, stroking the wrinkles on his forehead, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
"Ministry of Punishment, Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple." Yang Hong recited these three official positions carefully. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he turned around to look at Lao Wang Zhi, who looked tired and confused. "Old man.
Minister, could it be that your Majesty wants to..."
After hearing what Yang Hong said, Lao Wangzhi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and suddenly stood up...
