h> On the eighth day of September, the enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled. Emperor Chongzhen Liu Tan announced that the whole world was celebrating. .\nUpdated fastest. On the same day, Jinfeng issued an edict, canonizing Xia Jiangshi as the Queen of the Sixth Palace, and her mother honored the world. Three days later, at the court meeting, Emperor Chongzhen revised the thirty-two laws and regulations, abolished the left and right ministers, restored the six ministers to perform their own duties, and demoted him from the first rank to the third rank. Probably because the former right prime minister Xue Lingnan was convicted, the right prime minister Yin Tianhou sued the old feudal lord. The prime minister was originally empty, but now he has been deposed. There are few civil and military officials who have objections. However, from then on, the only official position in the dynasty was Si Tianjian. Faced with this situation, the unscrupulous censor immediately proposed that since he was to be demoted, not only the six ministers should be demoted, but also the Si Tianjian should be treated equally. As soon as these words came out, the court immediately turned into a vegetable market. Several of Si Tianjian's Yi officials and a group of civil servants were quarreling fiercely. Several military generals with military power stood aside and watched. Zhu Muzhao, who had just stepped down from office, did not say anything. With these words, Emperor Chongzhen, who had just sat on the dragon chair but had not covered his buttocks, sneered again and again. Soon, everyone found that the emperor was unhappy, so they started to argue and became silent. Emperor Chongzhen then reprimanded him with a straight face: "You have such strength to talk nonsense and throw aside important national affairs. Northeastern." Jiang Huaiying respects his own troops and has not gone abroad to mourn and has not started a war, so he has shelved the matter for the time being. Now you will give me a charter, how to punish the rebels?" The ministers looked at each other, and King Dongjing held dozens of them. Thousands of soldiers and horses have been entrenched in Liaodong for a long time. It is not a day's work to send troops to suppress it. What's more, the Northeast Army is brave and good at fighting. No one is sure of victory. If they take the initiative to join the army and then turn around and suffer defeat, who can afford it? . A group of people who were still eloquent just now became mute in an instant. Emperor Chongzhen's face was very ugly. No emperor would want the officials under his rule to be a bunch of trash. At this time, Yin Yuanrong, the left commander of the Yulin Army, came out, knelt down with his fists clasped, and said loudly: "I am willing to lead troops to the northeast to defeat the rebels!" Yin Tianhou withdrew from the court, but left behind his most proud grandson, Although Yin Yuanrong did not have any great talents or strategists, he was a natural-born general who only needed some opportunities to practice. Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly, looked at Yin Yuanrong with appreciative eyes, raised his hand to signal him to stand up, but did not grant his request. Then, the elderly Duke of Jing, General Xuanwu Feng Xiao, the newly appointed Minister of War and others came out to ask for battle. Emperor Chongzhen did not comment. He glanced around the palace with cold eyes, his eyes fell on the group of people on the right column, and asked in a deep voice: "Does Si Tianjian have any ideas?" Zhu Muzhao stood still, a few steps behind him, tying up his hat. The plain-looking Yu Shu stepped forward, lifted up her gauze robe and knelt beside several old ministers. She lowered her eyebrows and said, "I thought I could wait for work in leisure." "Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen sat sideways and looked at her with interest. : "What does it mean to wait for work with ease?" Yu Shu said: "Your Majesty, in addition to the miraculous art of cutting off death, I also have some success in the six-yao miraculous art, which can predict the occurrence of natural disasters and the rise and fall of the country. The night before, I obtained a hexagram. , the northern Tatars are ready to invade Liaodong soon, and there is no way the Northeast Army will remain indifferent. When both sides are defeated, the Holy Emperor will send troops to recruit troops. If Jiang Huaiying is interested, he will be allowed to return to Beijing to enjoy himself. Wealthy and prosperous, if he persists in resisting, we will send troops north to kill him while he is sick. This is to wait for work." Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up, and several generals looked thoughtful. Before they could say anything, someone jumped out to object. , it was the few civil servants who had just argued about the rank of Si Tianjian Yiguan. "I think it's inappropriate, so I don't want to leave you with some confidence in your divination. Even if there is war in the north and the Northeast Army and the Tatars fight, both sides will be injured. However, Jiang Huai's victory in guarding the border is his merit, and the imperial court cannot stand by and watch, but still takes advantage of people's danger. Wouldn't sending troops to suppress it lead to criticism from the people of the world? " "Exactly, if you want to conquer, you must do it as early as possible. The right way is to send troops to conquer in an open and honest manner." When the Holy Emperor ascends the throne, you must not ignore the people's feelings. " Facing a group of people standing there. As a civil servant who had no back pain, Yu Shu just sneered and refuted them unceremoniously: "Dongjing King Jiang Huaiying is my Da'an minister, and it is his duty to guard the border. No matter how great his achievements are, he can't outweigh his rebellion." It's a mercy to let him take the blame for his sin, so how can you take advantage of others' danger? Do you think that all the people in the world are as pedantic as you and others, and you don't distinguish between right and wrong?" Several civil servants blushed at her sarcastic remarks. After opening his mouth to argue a few words, Emperor Chongzhen interrupted them displeased: "Okay, shut up. We will discuss the matter of rebellion another day. I will give you three days to think about it with your brains." Then he retreated to the court. After the dynasty was over, several old ministers gathered together and discussed going to the political office for a meeting later. Someone invited Zhu Muzhao to accompany them, and they saw Eunuch Bingli running over. "Dad, please stay. Lord Yu, please stay. The Holy Spirit has sent you two to the study room of Tai'an Hall to talk." These two sentences were not loud, but the ministers who were standing nearby and had not yet left heard them and exchanged greetings. With his eyes, he pondered the thoughts of Emperor Chongzhen, and watched Zhu Muzhao and Yu Shu with envy or jealousy.I followed the eunuch. ?¡ ?Yu Shu stayed in the Tai¡¯an Palace all afternoon. Lunch was the royal meal given by the emperor. After the meal, Zhu Muzhao left first, leaving her alone with the emperor. Emperor Chongzhen was very interested in her strategy of "waiting for work", but he was worried that her divination was wrong. If the court ignored King Dongjing and the northern Tatars did not take any action, it would become a tragedy. joke. Yu Shu did not dare to vouch for it, and she was not completely sure that the Northeast Army would fight the Tatars first, but she suggested to Emperor Chongzhen that it would be better to wait and see for two months, and if the Tatars did not invade, then send troops Not too late. If another person were to be the emperor, he might not listen to this woman Yu Shu, but Emperor Chongzhen was different. When he was still young, he used Yu Shu to open up the situation at the Shuangyang Conference, and he treated her differently. of appreciation. "Let me think about it carefully." Emperor Chongzhen did not rush to make a decision. As soon as the conversation changed, he asked Yu Shu: "I have already ascended the throne. Recently, there have been many memorials mentioning the expiration of my term. Are you? What do you think?¡± ¡°There has never been a major proposal for re-election in more than two hundred years, but it doesn¡¯t matter if Zhu Muzhao suddenly has this idea. What's more, he has just abolished the position of two prime ministers, and there is a phenomenon that the Dati family is dominant in the court. Will Zhu Muzhao be willing to let go of the power that is at its peak? "Compared with Zhu Muzhao, a generation of powerful officials who are difficult to control, he is certainly more willing to use Yu Shu, who can be better controlled by him. When Yu Shu heard this, he knew that Emperor Chongzhen was suspicious of Zhu Muzhao, so he said without thinking: "Emperor and courtiers, the ancestors have rules like this. Dati is well versed in this, and he has taken over the matter of taking over the ministers a few days ago." The implication is: Don't worry, Lao Zhu won't stick around. Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly and looked much more relaxed. He seemed to be very satisfied with Yu Shu's immediate communication, and turned to chatting with her about the talent show in the harem: "After the death of the late emperor, I dismissed the harem. Theoretically, it is time to bring in a group of new people. In the past, the selection was held in September, and I had just ascended the throne. I thought it was a bit hasty. In addition, the queen was pregnant, and I did not want her to work hard for the selection. Concubine Shu was not busy, so I wanted to skip the selection this year and postpone it to next year. "When the spring is warm." There were not many women before he ascended the throne. Xia Jiangmin, his first wife, deserved to be the queen. Rui Zizhu made a concubine because of the Rui family's merits in Conglong, and there was also Mei Jie. Yu, it¡¯s not worth mentioning anymore. As the Queen's best friend, Yu Shu was of course in favor of not being elected this year, but she knew that the officials in the court would not agree. The selection involved everyone's interests. If the emperor insisted on being exempted from the election, someone would definitely take the opportunity to criticize Xia Jiangmin. This queen whose status is precarious. She thought for a moment and asked, "Has the Holy Father discussed this with the Queen?" It depends on what Xia Jiangmin thinks about this matter. If she also agrees to be exempted from the election, then there will be nothing good. "The Queen does not agree to be exempted from the election," Emperor Chongzhen shook his head helplessly, "She, the selection can be left to Concubine Shu and the Assistant Manager of the Kunling Bureau, but she cannot leave the harem empty and the people in the court unstable." Yu Shu secretly said. Sigh: After all, Xia Jiangmin is no longer the innocent and ignorant girl. The position of queen and the child in her belly forced her to grow up overnight. "What the Empress said is very true. I think that we might as well follow the Empress's wishes and ask Concubine Shu to temporarily preside over the selection matter, and let the Kunling Bureau assist in the matter. This will not cause any delays and can also appease people's hearts." Emperor Chongzhen hesitated. Again and again, the head agreed, and immediately called in the eunuch Bingbi to draw up the edict, one of which was sent to the harem, the other to the Ministry of Rites, and the other to Yu Shu directly. As the sun set, Yu Shu came out of the palace and sat in the soft sedan chair, too tired to move. Being trusted by the emperor was both a good thing and a bitter thing. *** The next day, officials from the Ministry of Rites went to the Kunling Bureau to discuss the selection matter. Although the Ministry of Rites had a minister, they no longer had to hang on the back of Si Tianjian for everything, but they were required to go alone immediately. But Er couldn't do it, so he ran to Si Tianjian as usual. The person from the Ministry of Rites is none other than Yu Shu's old acquaintance. The ceremonial officer who is responsible for guiding the ceremonial bearers at the ancestor worship ceremony, Mr. Wang, should now be called Shilang Wang. This is because the original Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites was directly promoted to the position of Minister, and Lord Wang also became rich with the promotion. Acquaintances are easy to deal with. Mr. Wang didn¡¯t have three things to do when he took office. He didn¡¯t compete with the Kunling Bureau. He kindly drew up the regulations for the harem selection on the same day and sent them to the palace. He first asked Queen Xia Jiang to review them, and then transferred them to the palace. In the hands of Concubine Rui Shu. Then they sent official letters to all prefectures and counties to recruit girls of suitable age to enter Beijing. Yu Shu didn't think this was a big deal, and the emperor had no intention of asking her to do it personally, so she left her to Situ Qinglan to keep an eye on. Unexpectedly, within two days, someone came from the palace to announce that Concubine Rui Shu had announced her entrance. Gong Wen asked for a matter of selection. When Yu Shu heard such a casual summons, he felt?It's ridiculous, now Empress Dowager Xue doesn't dare to call her around. Rui Zizhu, an unpopular concubine, actually dares to call her with chicken feathers as arrows. It just so happened that she wanted to meet Xia Jiangmin and entered the palace on the way, so she did not embarrass the concubine Shu and asked Wen Shaoan to go downstairs to answer the summons of the eunuch, tidy up his clothes, and then enter the palace later. r115
