I am the king of the dead

After all, kinship and friendship.

He only hoped that His Majesty would not think that he was taking power.

Zhu Qiyu nodded indifferently, compared to Yu Qian, he was more worried that Queen Mother Sun's people would take the military power.

Yu Qian will not rebel, but Queen Mother Sun will seize the door.

He thought carefully for a moment and said: "Yang Hong is old, the battle of the Xuan Mansion lasted for more than five months, and he stayed up all night to guard the border for the Ming Dynasty."

"But Yang Hong is already old, in his 70s, and I intend to let Uncle Jianping go far away, take Yang Hong's two nephews to guard the border, and let Yang Hong come back to do the sacrificial wine in the martial arts hall."

"Then Yang Hong is no longer in charge of the army. Yang Jun is brave and can replace Fan Guang as the deputy commander in chief of the capital and lead the camp outside Fucheng."

It was a series of military moves.

Yang Hong returned to serve in the capital. In this battle, apart from Yang Hong, Jianping Bo Gaoyuan, who had killed the most enemies and captured the most, served as the general officer of the Xuanfu, plus Yang Hong's two nephews, were enough to guard the door for the Ming Dynasty.

When Yang Jun was promoted to the deputy commander-in-chief of the capital, he took over his father's mantle and took charge of Fuchengmen, one of the three major battalions outside the capital's Dongzhimen, Xizhimen, and Fuchengmen.

And Fan Guang is going to Liaodong to rectify the army.

Liu Pu, the Marquis of Anyuan, mentioned by Sun Zhong, still guards Guangdong and Guangxi, and is the right-hand man of Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, to appease the civil unrest in Fujian.

Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But it's up to Your Majesty to decide with one word."

If His Majesty emphasizes that Marquis Anyuan Liu Pu will return to Beijing, Yu Qian will not be able to stop him.

In front of the Xuan Mansion, Yang Hong refused the door-knocking of Ji Wang Zhu Qizhen, and Yang Hong's family had already boarded His Majesty's chariot.

Yang Hong's eldest son, Yang Jun, is in charge of the Fuchengmen camp. He belongs to His Majesty, so it is naturally suitable.

Sun Zhong is already powerful enough, if His Majesty transfers Liu Pu to the capital again, there will be troubles.

Chenjing Town, Taining Hou, Guangxi, Chen Jing's wife is Sun Zhong's granddaughter.

Xin Guogong Tang and his great-grandson, and Tang Yinji, the commander of the capital, were also recommended by Sun Zhong to be the commander of the capital.

And Tang Yinji married his daughter to Sun Zhong's grandson Sun Lian as his successor.

Xin Guogong Tanghe was the Tanghe who wrote to Zhu Yuanzhang who was a monk in Huangjue Temple and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to join the rebel army.

And Sun Zhong also has a lot of contacts among the scholars. For example, everyone in the capital knows that the Changzhou Poetry Club is run by Sun Zhong.

Liu Pu, Tang Yinji, Su Ping, Su Zheng, Shen Yu, Wang Huai, Yan Duo, Zou Liang, Jiang Zhong, Wang Zhenqing and other so-called ten sons of Jinyang are Sun Zhong's tongue.

And Liu Pu is the main alliance, and he is also the imperial physician of the imperial hospital.

After Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, Lu Zicai replaced Liu Pu as the court judge. Liu Pu resigned from the position of imperial physician and concentrated on running the Changzhou Poetry Club.

What kind of influence is this?

If Liu Pu, the Marquis of Anyuan, is transferred back to the capital to serve as the deputy general, will this world belong to His Majesty or Queen Mother Sun?

Yu Qian did not agree to be transferred to Anyuan Hou Liupu to return to Beijing. In September of the 14th year of Zhengtong, he had already opposed it once.

He has always been contending against this huge power, but he cannot disobey the emperor's order. Fortunately, His Majesty is very afraid of Queen Mother Sun.

Dealing with state affairs is also based on judgment, and a decision is made after repeated investigations, rather than a so-called trust in the friendship of relatives.

The friendship of relatives can be believed at some times, but Zhu Qiyu and Queen Mother Sun are not blood relatives, so where is the friendship of relatives?

Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian chatted while walking, continuing to discuss state affairs.

At this time, in Huichangbo Mansion, Sun Zhong and his descendants Sun Jizong and Sun Xianzong were sitting in the middle hall.

At this time, the middle hall was very quiet, and everyone was silent and silent.

Today I went to the palace to present a gift, and Sun Zhong who presented it was furious!

How could the Empress Dowager recognize the new characters on the ancient inkstone?

Isn't this telling the courtiers that his empress dowager has recognized the throne of this concubine?

"The emperor gave the empress dowager an ancient inkstone. Just give it away. The empress dowager knew that Su Dongpo needed to avoid Song Shenzong, but she said it was correct! What does this mean?" Sun Xianzong said quite dissatisfied.

Sun Zhong took a deep breath and remained silent.

When the emperor cut the title of Taishang Emperor, Sun Zhong was already very dissatisfied and was about to exert his strength, but the Oirats came again. At this time, Sun Zhong could only temporarily hibernate.

As a result, the wait lasted for more than four months. In May, the news of Xuanfu's victory came, and the Oirats retreated again. He originally planned to discuss with the queen mother what to do.

But Queen Mother Sun's attitude has always been strange and vacillating.

Seeing that his father was silent, Sun Jizong had no choice but to say, "I have to do something to stimulate the Queen Mother."

"The empress dowager's temperament is too cowardly, when is this? Still hesitating, afraid of the emperor, if we continue, will we still have a place to live?"

After the Empress Dowager Sun favored Zhu Qizhen and gave birth to Zhu Qizhen, the Sun family continued to grow bigger, joined forces with ministers, nephews of the Sun family, and continued to be an official with kindness, seeing their power grow stronger and stronger.

As a result, suddenly there was a shocking change in the civil castle. The lord of the world has changed. He is no longer a blood relative of the Sun family, but a concubine succeeding to the throne.

The Oirats are fierce, they have no strategy to stabilize the country, and no military ability to be strong and sharp, so they have to lie dormant.

Sun Zhong kept tapping his middle finger on the table, thinking about what to do.

The battle of the Xuanfu was over, and the situation of Daming was very clear. Oala was unable to attack Daming again, and the throne of the Concubine Emperor was as solid as gold, almost unshakable.

The common people in the capital rumored that the emperor was the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu, which was what the people wanted.

Sun Zhong suddenly raised his head and said, "It's broken!"

"Why did father say that suddenly?" Sun Jizong frowned and asked, leaning forward.

Sun Zhong said with a horrified expression: "The commanding envoy Yue Qian is Yu Qian's man. If he acts as an envoy to Wala, the emperor is in danger!"

Sun Jizong didn't understand, so he said: "But the commander Ji Duo is one of our people, and he even sent clothes to the emperor."

Sun Zhong stood up abruptly and walked back and forth in the living room. The more he walked, the more anxious he said: "You didn't realize that there were twelve cavalry around that bastard all the time, except for Lu Zhong, the remaining eleven cavalry covered their faces with masks. , Never show your true colors.”

"Although His Majesty is still surrounded by eleven cavalry, we don't know whether these eleven cavalry are the original people."

"It's going to be bad!"

Sun Jizong thought about it seriously for a long time and said: "Father is too worried. The emperor is the rightful lord of the world. After fourteen years, which Qiu Ba dares to do something to the emperor? Father is too worried."

Sun Zhong's footsteps slowly slowed down. He thought seriously for a long time before sitting down. He saw what His Majesty did, and it was indeed as Sun Jizong said, that His Majesty still has relatives, such as offering gifts to the Queen Mother. He received gifts, such as sending envoys to negotiate peace with the Wala people, and bringing back Zhu Qizhen from Beishou.

That's big brother!

After thinking about it, Sun Jizong finally relaxed his face, shook his head and sighed and said: "Will the Wala people let the emperor go? That is the emperor. Even if he made offerings, it was the meritorious service of the slave chief. It means that he defeated Daming."

"To discuss the nonsense of Yue Qian or Eleven Cavalry, it is better to discuss...whether the emperor can come back."

Sun Zhong sighed heavily and said: "That's right, Wala will let him go, so let's talk about it."

"But the Queen Mother's attitude is unacceptable!"

"Cutting down the title of the Supreme Emperor, without saying a word! The abolished prince is still silent! Seeing that the emperor's throne is becoming more and more stable, he says everything and does nothing."

"No, the Queen Mother must change her attitude!"

Chapter 161 I am a cruel official!

"Now the queen mother is blinded by the superficial humility of that evil emperor. You know! When the emperor was still the king, he was also humble enough!" Sun Jizong said angrily.

My father is a little older, and his heart has softened over the years, even a little honest and humble.

Sun Xianzong also sighed and said: "But we were not there at the time of the court meeting. Now those courtiers dare not make a move. Once the official residence of the evil emperor is built, it will be really difficult for those people to communicate with us." too difficult."

The living room fell into silence again. This evil emperor took advantage of Wala to go south and did too many things, and it was difficult to resist. Now that Qingtian in the capital is reclaiming land, the farm law sees more and more people. If this continues, they still have Who do you rely on?

Sun Zhong looked at the sky worriedly, and said with a sigh: "It is necessary to let the Queen Mother feel the pain."

"Otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to do what the Queen Mother looks like."

The father and son finally decided on a strategy to make the Queen Mother change her mind.

But how to proceed with this strategy?

"How about King Xiang Zhu Zhanqian write a letter to the Queen Mother to persuade the Queen Mother?" Sun Jizong proposed a plan.

The corner of Sun Xianzong's mouth twitched, his elder brother had a lot of bad ideas.

He shook his head and said, "Emperor Concubine, that is also the blood of the late Emperor. If you asked Zhu Zhanqian to write a letter to persuade the Queen Mother, wouldn't that remind the Queen Mother not to make such an ugly mess with Emperor Concubine?"

Only then did Sun Jizong slap his forehead and suddenly realized.

In any case, the current concubine emperor has to call the mother of the empress dowager. Princess Ji is also the consort of the concubine emperor, and Zhu Jianshen, the son of the concubine king, is also the nephew of the emperor. This great person is still in the blood of the late emperor Zhu Zhanji.

If Zhu Zhanqian became the emperor, that would be the empress dowager's last thing to see!

"Then what should we do?" Sun Jizong scratched his head and asked rather helplessly.

The current emperor has a feeling that he has no way to start, and the aggression is like fire, and the power is in his hands.

"The children of Prince Ji's Mansion." The concubine Sun Xuzong suddenly said.

Sun Zhong did not agree, but he did not disagree.

Instead, he looked out of the window and said, "It's hard, the Supreme Emperor is in Yibei. We have worked hard and tried our best to be loyal to the Supreme Emperor."

Is Sun Zhong really loyal to the Supreme Emperor?

Sun Xuzong wanted to deal with those children from Prince Ji's mansion, but Sun Zhong didn't even ask a single question.

But at this moment in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager Sun held the ancient inkstone and looked at the new characters for a long time, but finally got someone to put it away.

"What should Zizhi Tongjian talk about today?" Mrs. Sun heaved a sigh of relief.

At least the concubine emperor didn't tear his face apart for the great event of the Northern Expedition. Although he looked disrespectful, he didn't do things to the point of outrageous madness.

At least since Emperor Taizong Wen, in all dynasties, she has never received a birthday gift that is too modest, but she has received it, even though she knows it was prepared by the emperor.

But it was given by Yu Qian.

A female scripture officer bowed her head and said: "Today we are talking about Tang Ji 22, the first year of the holy calendar. In that year, the New Year's Day is the same day as the winter solstice, the first month of the moon, and the first day of Jiazi, so it is changed to the first year of the holy calendar."

"Then let's talk." Empress Dowager Sun sat down firmly and said.

The female economic officer opened the Zizhi Tongjian, and said eloquently: "On Yiwei Day in February of the first year of the Holy Calendar, the two nephews of Empress Zetian, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, sought to establish the crown prince. They sent people many times. I went to the palace and said that since ancient times, the emperor has never had an heir with a different surname."

"Empress Zetian is quite hesitant. After all, she is only a nephew, not a son."

Wu Zetian went from helping her husband to deal with government affairs, then becoming the emperor, and finally became the emperor. However, in his later years, Wu Zetian also faced the problem of inheriting the throne. Seeing that his health was getting worse and worse, the matter of establishing a crown prince became an urgent need .

But the two nephews Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi thought about it.

"Empress Zetian summoned Prime Minister Di Renjie to inquire. Di Renjie said: His Majesty Emperor Taizongwen of the Tang Dynasty, weathered the wind and rain, personally braved the frontier to rule the world and passed it on to his descendants. Emperor Gaozong Xiao entrusted his second son to His Majesty."

"Di Renjie said again: Your Majesty wants to transfer the position to another family, so don't you care about God's will?"

"Aunt, nephew, mother and son, who is closer? If your majesty makes a son, he will be served in the Taimiao for thousands of years, and the inheritance will be endless. If you make a nephew, you will never hear that your nephew is the son of heaven, but your aunt will be in the temple." Those who also."

The female economic officer paused at this point, but the Empress Dowager Sun managed to understand the conversation.

The female economic officer didn't give much explanation, it was just a passage in Zi Zhi Tong Jian.

Empress Dowager Sun closed her eyes and thought for a long time, then slowly opened her eyes and said, "Continue talking."

Is the son or the nephew important?

Di Renjie gave the answer to this question, and Wu Zetian finally made up his mind not to make the Wu family the heirs of the emperor.

The female scripture official continued to speak eloquently: "Empress Zetian and Tang Gaozong's son Li Xian were still kings of Luling at that time. Di Renjie persuaded Empress Zetian to take Li Xian back by his side, but Empress Zetian was quite hesitant. .”

"That night, Empress Zetian dreamed that a big parrot had broken its wings, so she asked Di Renjie to interpret the dream. Di Renjie said, these two wings are His Majesty's two sons. If they are used, they will vibrate."

"Sun Wanrong besieged Youzhou and moved to the imperial court..."

The female economic officer continued to talk about Zi Zhi Tong Jian, but the Empress Dowager Sun interrupted the female economic officer's lecture, and said rather puzzled: "Empress Zetian appointed a crown prince, what's the follow-up? How about the siege of Youzhou?" Where are you going?"

The female scripture officer didn't understand, so she said, "That's what Sima Guang wrote."

"This measure is capitalized, it is not achieved overnight, it is continuous, it must be intermittent!"

"Tell me about the selection of the crown prince, and then talk about the siege of Youzhou."

"Your order." The female scripture officer searched for a while and said: "On March 28, the king of Luling fell ill in Fang County, and the Queen of Heaven ordered Li Xian, the king of Luling, to return to Luoyang to recuperate. When the king arrived at the capital of God, he paid homage to Empress Zetian."

"In September, Li Xian abdicated as the king of Luling and became the heir of the emperor. Then the Empress of Heaven agreed to make Li Xian the crown prince."

Only then did Empress Dowager Sun nodded in satisfaction. Wu Zetian not only proclaimed himself the emperor, but even ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. When he finally established the crown prince, he still established a son.

In fact, the truth is very simple. The general has a son, the marshal also has a son, and the nephew also has a mother.

The friendship between relatives, four words, right and wrong, is not difficult to discuss.
