Mighty and Majestic Concubine Wan Gui

On August 29, all officials asked Queen Mother Sun to change King Jianguo as emperor.

Empress Dowager Sun had a lot of white hair on her sideburns, and the wrinkles around her eyes were much deeper. She was wearing a black gauze dress and a black gauze floral skirt, and she didn't even wear a bun on her head, only combed with silk.Can't help but cry: "The Ai family only has this son..."

If he is not the emperor, how can he bear it.As soon as he was captured, he had nothing left, so...

The officials knelt down and persuaded: "I will also hold the emperor hostage first, in an attempt to use the emperor's power to defend the general and open the city gate."

"Forgive me for being rude, but first of all, this is a rare commodity to live in."

"Queen Mother, you don't have to weep. As long as my Ming army is still mighty, and I fear our revenge first, I dare not hurt the emperor."

"Yes, I will unify the top and bottom in Ming Dynasty."

"Only when the country is strong can the barbarians submit."

"These barbarians are afraid of prestige but not virtuous. If you treat them well, they will start to make trouble. Once they send troops to conquer and kill countless people, they will show up as ministers."

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager, if you make King Yi the emperor and respect the current emperor as the Supreme Emperor, you also think that the emperor can't affect the situation of the battle. If you threaten him and lure him, you will be able to take the emperor back."

Concubine Wu was very embarrassed beside her. She never expected her son to become emperor, and now she is also at a loss.

Empress Qian wept and said nothing, she was just a dignified and weak woman, the only thing she could do now was to pray to gods and Buddha, and to pray for God's blessing.

Empress Dowager Sun knew in her heart that what they said was right, she wiped her tears and said, "Will they, will they kill Qi Zhen just because he is not the emperor?"

The ministers were overjoyed, the Queen Mother was about to let go, and hurriedly said: "No."

"The dignity of the Supreme Emperor is not inferior to that of the emperor!"

"Yeah yeah."

"First of all, this person is as cunning as a wolf and tiger. As long as it is profitable, he will never kill."

"He knows that I am not to be insulted lightly, so he will treat the emperor kindly."

"If the Supreme Emperor is killed, I, Da Ming, want to devote all the power of the country to avenge the Emperor, and I will be just a thug first, and I will never dare to do so."

"Although the generals defending the city stand firm now and do not open the door to meet the thieves, they cannot shoot arrows under the emperor's order. It will be much easier if the new king orders them not to hold on."

Empress Dowager Sun was startled: "Fire the arrow? Wouldn't that hurt the emperor?"

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother, a city has four sides, and the Oirats can surround three of them, and two of them can shoot arrows."

"Ah, yes."

"The emperor called the door from the city, and many people were really disturbed."

"If there is an imperial decree, ordering them not to open the door, but to stick to it to the end, it will be much easier."

Empress Dowager Sun frowned slightly: "Are you sure?"

In her heart, she felt that the civil and military officials were quite reliable, because they all advised the emperor not to march in person.

The ministers nodded hurriedly.

Empress Dowager Sun was a little tangled again: "Qi Yu is a good boy, but we have a prince now."

The prince did not attend the meeting, he was jumping wildly on the bed, and he didn't know why, but he jumped up in the morning and thought it was fun, so he couldn't stop. Duangduangduang bounced on the bed for a quarter of an hour, lay down for a while, got up and continued jumping, squatting while jumping.Because of the emperor's arrest, he couldn't even wear a red apron, and changed into a white apron and a pair of baggy shorts.

Thanks to the fact that the big bed is a red sandalwood bed made of pine and cypress, a thousand craftsman unicorn and a hundred sons. If it was an ordinary wooden bed or earth kang, he would have jumped and collapsed.

Wan Zhen'er: "..."

She asked Nanny Zhu in a low voice: "Is it appropriate for the prince to be so happy that the emperor has been taken away?"

Nanny Zhu said in a low voice: "The emperor is not close to the prince, and the prince is young, so I don't know what happened."

Wan Zhen'er continued to sit on the footrest, lying on the edge of the bed and looking at the prince, this guy can really jump, his physical strength is so good, he should practice martial arts.

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the officials explained to Empress Dowager Sun: "The crown prince is young and cannot bear the throne of the country."

Empress Dowager Sun: "What?" What to do?

"The crown prince is too young to handle government affairs and inspire people."

"If the crown prince succeeds to the throne, he will still be the king of Yi in charge of the country, and the name is not justified."

"This peer and son are different."

In fact, the ministers still have a few other concerns. First, if King Tan supervises the country, it will take more than ten years until the crown prince becomes an adult. Will King Tan become addicted to power and usurp power?If he seizes the throne, can we stop him?

Second, if the emperor comes back and wants the crown prince to abdicate, the crown prince must abdicate. At that time, the emperor will send troops to attack Wala for revenge, and we can't fucking stop it!

Third, the emperor ascended the throne as a young man, and developed such a weird temper, tyranny, gullibility, and self-esteem. If there is another emperor who ascends the throne at a young age, will he be like this?Although the emperor is supreme and noble, he must have mountains and rivers for eight thousand miles in his heart, and he must have subjects all over the world, and he cannot be the only one.

Fourth, if a small, two-year-old prince is allowed to succeed to the throne, it is enough to appease the officials and common people of the Ming Dynasty, but what about Wala?Can the Oirats believe that the emperor has lost value?A younger brother's succession is not the same as a son's succession, and an adult son's succession is not the same as a two-year-old son's succession!

Empress Dowager Sun thought about it, and she was right: "It's up to you. Come, please invite King Tan over here."

Jin Ying went away in response.

King Yi is studying geography seriously at the front. He has only known where Juyongguan is, where Datong is, how far it is from the capital, and where the territory of Wala is.

Hearing the call from the empress, I hurried over: "Mother's mother is blessed and safe. You are welcome. I don't know what the mother's order is for her children and ministers?"

Empress Dowager Sun said: "The Ai family has decided to make you the new king."

King Yi knelt down with a thump, his face was pale, and his forehead was sweating: "Why did the queen mother say that?" His face turned pale and sweating was not because of fright, but because he knelt too hard, and his knee hurt, it hurt to death.

The Queen Mother persuaded for a long time, and the ministers persuaded for a long time.

When King Yi refused for the seventh time, someone became impatient: "His Royal Highness, since ancient times, the throne has only been abdicated three times! You have refused seven times."

Yes yes yes, the one who made us push you to the throne, you have no wolf ambitions, you don't want to usurp the power and the throne, that's fine!

The Walla people are watching us from outside!

"His Royal Highness, do you think the crown prince is more capable of shouldering the heavy burden of today?"

Zhu Qiyu said in his heart: The prince can't do it, but I can't do it either!My brother knows that I have become the emperor, he will hate me, he will hate me to death, last time I ate a pastry from him without telling him, he was still angry.Maybe the country will be destroyed now, can't it be in my hands, let me become the last emperor and bear the eternal infamy!When I usually read history books, I laughed at Emperor Mo and Emperor Shun in every possible way, and they will laugh at me in the same way.What's more, you are also quite scary.

He gave way nine times, and seeing the expressions of 'If you don't agree again, you really don't know' written in the eyes of everyone, the Empress Dowager Sun, and the concubine mother, he agreed with a guilty conscience.

Yu Qian said: "Follow power urgently, minister Yu Qian, kowtow to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Zhu Qiyu received the ceremony from everyone: "My dear friends, please rise up."

Turning around, he kowtowed to the queen mother again: "My son thanked the queen mother. Please rest assured, the queen mother, the prince is still the prince."

Empress Dowager Sun nodded with tears in her eyes: "Okay, okay."

Everyone left like a storm.Empress Dowager Sun: "Call the prince and let the Ai family take a look."

Arriving at the Qianqing Palace ahead to continue the meeting, Zhu Qiyu was still wearing the clothes of a prince, and now there is no time to change clothes: "Prepare an edict to announce my succession to the world, tell Wala, and respect my brother as the Supreme Emperor."

But Empress Dowager Sun can't be promoted to Empress Dowager, and Empress Qian is still a queen, so don't worry about these things.

Jin Ying went out to summon.

A few words and a few words set a new year name, Jingtai, and now it is the first year of Jingtai.

It is implied in the book that the craftsmanship of copper tire filigree enamel reached its peak during the Jingtai period, and the utensils produced were the most exquisite, so it is also called cloisonne.

Zhu Qiyu said again: "Yu Shangshu, I have heard my father say that you are familiar with the art of war. Please send troops and generals. You will be fully responsible for the battle to guard the capital today."

Sitting on the dragon chair, looking down, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, and was greatly moved: "Back then, Lord Yongle moved his capital to the capital for the purpose of the emperor guarding the gate of the country. Now I am ordered to stand in danger and vow to live and die with the capital! Yu Shangshu and you all Strong general, with the protection of Huang Tian, ​​may my Ming Dynasty last forever!"

The officials were also very excited, finally there is an emperor who is reasonable and can listen to others!

Yu Qian waited quietly for him to express his emotion: "My lord, according to the system, the Minister of the Ministry of War cannot dispatch troops and generals." This is also the reason why he hasn't done much these days.

Zhu Qiyu was stunned: "What kind of official title do you need to be able to dispatch troops and generals at any time?"

Everyone thought about it, and the newly added Ministry of Rites and Minister of the Ministry of Officials said together: "There is no such official position."

"Not really."

Zhu Qiyu thought about it carefully: "Give Yu Qian the "admiral of each battalion's army and horses", and the generals of all battalions in Beijing accept his restraint. Anyone who disobeys the military order, Yu Qian has the right to kill first and then play. Yu Qing, what will you do next?"

Yu Qian took out a memorial from his sleeve: "Please read, Your Majesty."

Zhu Qiyu took it over and saw that the memorial was very thick.

Yu Qian said: "The minister will leave."

busy!busy!busy!

Zhu Qiyu stood up and watched him go out, and then sat down to read the memorial: to promote generals (attach the list, and Shi Heng who needs to be released), transfer troops from various places, rush to build weapons day and night, attach the number of troops and ordnance storage tables, mobilize two Qinwang troops in Beijing, Henan, Shandong and other places strictly enforced military discipline, drilled soldiers, and guarded the nine cities. Masons and other unified formations are already being done), and the entire city, the army and the people, are preparing for war and famine.

Tongzhou stored enough grain to feed the people of the capital for a year. During the previous discussions, some people were afraid that the grain would fall into the hands of the Wala people and wanted to burn it. Yu Qian firmly opposed it in the memorial and planned to transport all the grain to the capital.

Yu Qian can't get real power these days. Apart from discussing government affairs with others, he just writes plans by himself, and does everything within his powers and slightly out of bounds. Only military power is too sensitive. He dare not act rashly. The rest rushes to make weapons , transporting grain, and repairing the city wall are all in full swing.

"Report to the adults!"

"speak.

“土木堡外，我军溃败时丢弃的头盔9000余项、甲5000余件；神枪（□□）1.1万余杆、神铳（火铳）2万多只，神箭（火箭）44万枚、火炮800余门。已经全部整理完毕，正在运回京城。”

"very good."

……

Zhu Qizhen was wrapped in a torn sheepskin blanket, feeling the air leaking everywhere, shivering from the cold.

It is now September (September in the lunar calendar is November in the Gregorian calendar), and the Forbidden City is a compound with high walls. Even the wind in the inner courtyard is blocked, and it feels very warm.But outside Zaiguan, in the endless wasteland, the cold wind blows at night, and it is very cold.

Yuan Bin woke up: "My lord, what's wrong?"

Zhu Qizhen was a little bit embarrassed: "I'm a little cold."

Yuan Bin came over to feel it, and saw that the blanket on his leg was a little broken, so he took off his clothes and hugged his legs and feet in his arms.

Nothing to say all night, got up and marched the next day, during the march, Xining had a horse to ride, Zhu Qizhen was locked in the car, Yuan Bin sat with another Wala man who was guarding him, and was overwhelmed. .

Xining does not have extensive knowledge or outstanding military talent, but he seems to be born to be a traitor.

He gathered and screened in his mind what he saw and heard around the emperor. "Grand Master first, do you know the Zijing Pass?"

He squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "What do you want to say?"

Xining said with a smile: "The Zijing Pass is old, and the terrain is easy to attack and difficult to defend. The Ministry of War has tried to rebuild the Zijing Pass several times, but it has been prevaricated by that bastard Wang Zhen. Where is it easy to break through! No money, soldiers, horses and weapons They are all old, and even the soldiers are inferior to other city guards!"

……

The prince was taken to the Compassion Palace every day. If he wanted to leave, he was allowed to go. If he wanted to be hugged, he was hugged.

The prince was wearing very cute embroidered shoes, the shoes were surprisingly small, he was walking out, walking towards the Palace of Compassion and Peace with his little fat legs, and suddenly stopped to linger: "Cong Chong! What a big Chong Chong!"

Everyone looked down and saw that it was a scarab. The scarab shone dark green under the sunlight, like a gem.

The prince squatted down to observe for a while, and wanted to reach out to grab it.

Madam Zhu stopped him: "Your Highness, you can't touch this thing, it's dirty."

Wan Zhen'er said: "If Your Highness likes it, I'll grab it and go back later. Let's play slowly, okay?"

"Okay~" the prince yelled in a childish voice, followed by a sweet smile.

Put the worms in small gauze bags and let the palace people behind them carry them.

The prince was lifted up and stomped his feet: "Oh, I'm tired. I want to hug!" Tired of squatting.

Wan Zhen'er picked him up and carried him all the way to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and when he passed the Gate of Compassion and Ning, he saw several empresses inside with different expressions.

Concubine Wu had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, Empress Dowager Sun lowered her eyes suddenly, Empress Qian had no makeup on her face and looked sad, Empress Wang was full of sympathy.

Standing beside the Empress Dowager Sun, Zhang Shouyi kept twisting the beads, looking at the nose, nose, mouth and heart, chanting "Amitabha, the king of great power and great vows, Avalokitesvara, Bodhisattva of great mercy, and Jizo Bodhisattva".Seeing his solemn energy, it seems that it is more than enough to go out and find a temple to be the presiding abbot.

It's a pity that in front of the Wala people, devotion to the Buddha has no effect.

The little prince ran in rattling, ran up the steps, held on to the door frame, and strode forward vigorously.

This high threshold is no less than a hurdle for him.

"Mother!" Baby Zhu called out crisply, feeling strange and not being greeted with a smile on weekdays, she looked around suspiciously, at Nanny and Zhuang Zhuang.

Empress Dowager Sun also had three infants, all infants, one of whom was Zhu Jianshen's younger brother of the same father and the same mother, and the other two were born of the Wan family.

Zhou Dalian and Wan Bao'er were standing beside them, their faces full of fear and uneasiness.

The book implicitly shows that Zhou Dalian has been following the emperor closely because of being too clingy and jealous, and does not take care of the children seriously. After being crowned prince, Zhu Jianshen moved to live in the East Palace, and was even stranger to her.

Baby Zhu was surprised to find that he was not welcome, and also a little scared and uneasy, looked around, stepped forward and called: "Mother~"

Empress Qian hugged him in her arms, and touched his fleshy little face: "Jian Shen, you have to be good."

The little prince didn't know why, so he stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears of this gentle and amiable woman: "Yeah."

Empress Wang said crisply: "Sister-in-law, don't be sad, you are still my sister-in-law, and the prince will be like my own son in the future, don't worry, I will find a famous teacher to enlighten him in two years, our sister-in-law If you teach him one, he will surely become a good, filial and obedient boy." It happens that I don't have a son either.

The two barren queens held the little prince, and you hugged me for a while, and I felt that the sweet and innocent and lovely child was very healing.

The emperor came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning in a hurry to pay his respects to the empress and mother. Concubine Wu is now living in the Shoukang Palace. She will be promoted to Queen Mother in a while, and the court is really too busy now. "Greetings to Queen Mother, greetings to Mother."

The two queens stood up quickly: "All blessings, Your Majesty."

"All blessings, Your Majesty."

Empress Wang leaned over and put the little prince on the ground: "Come, please greet the emperor."

Zhu Jianshen looked up at his belt and said without hesitation, "Father!"

"what?"

"what?"

"what?"

"Ok?"

"Well?"

The emperor was also suspicious, don't you think the thief is your father, ah bah bah bah!He squatted down: "What's your name?"

Zhu Jianshen turned pale with shock: "Uncle!"

The nanny boldly said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness probably didn't see your dragon face, but only saw your clothes."

Zhu Qiyu felt that this explanation was very reasonable. Originally, he was a short and thick little Douding, and he was usually not allowed to look directly at the emperor's face, so he could only distinguish people by their clothes. "Uncle is the emperor now."

Zhu Jianshen looked confused.

Zhu Qiyu asked: "You didn't tell him?"

"Report to the emperor, no."*10

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a moment, then sighed: "Don't say it yet, he is still a child." How can you tell a two-year-old child that your father led troops out to fight, and then suffered a disastrous defeat, and he himself was arrested, so your uncle became the emperor? .Tsk.

……

Also first personally led the main force of 3 people to attack Zijingguan through Datong and detour the capital.

When Wen Silu encountered the battlefield, he was so angry that he found a corpse that had just died, and as soon as he possessed it, he prepared to use the dead body to revive his soul to kill someone.

The local town god of the land and the elves and monsters in the mountains knew her, so they rushed out and held her down: "What are you doing!" "What do you want!"

Wen Si struggled: "Let me go, labor and management are going to kill people!"

"You calm down!"

"Fourth sister! Be rational, this is not the dynasty you live in!"

"Come on, your wife is mad!"

A busy 'little official' left his official duties, and Yufeng came here: "Why are you meddling in your own business?"

"Because I'm a Han Chinese! Because Wen Zelan's father is the Marshal of Megatron Frontier! Because they are massacring Han Chinese!"

"This has nothing to do with you!"

"Why is it okay? I feel bad!"

"When we were in the world, we did not kill less people, and those who killed were also Han people. When we were at the border, we planned"

Wen Si was speechless, so he was unreasonable: "So what! I can kill others for myself, and I can also kill Wala people for the Han people. Labor and management can kill whoever they want! God has the virtue of good life, so do I. That Whoever said it, stop killing with killing."

"You are a ghost now, do you want to destroy your hundreds of years of practice in order to kill people?"

Article [-]: "When labor and management are people, they can kill whoever they want."

The goblins next to you: "You humans all look alike, don't worry."

"It's normal for a large number of people to die."

"Oh, as long as there is a fight, many people will die, so it doesn't matter."

Wen Si was furious: "Your family is about the same size as the nest of snakes behind the mountain!"

The snake demon was also angry: "Hey! The nest of snakes in the back mountain worships under the door of Grandpa Liu Wu, our family is under the door of Grandpa Liu Er, theirs is Zhuyeqing, ours is Wubu!"

"As you go."

A little official sneered and said: "Hehe, I really want to know, could you really kill whoever you want at that time? Didn't you beg me to help you avenge you with a playful smile? Don't you know that you are just a brave man? Didn't you hold back a little bit?" After ten years of twists and turns, did the emperor at that time reverse the case for you?"

"...Why are you so aggrieved after becoming a ghost fairy!"

"Because the sky wants you to be a human being, and you want to live forever!" He said sharply, "Look at Zhu Qizhen! Zelan, take a good look at him, I know you have undeserved courage, you now Go down, or turn into a ghost soldier, or cover the new corpse, get up and fight, and snatch Zhu Qizhen back, do you know what will happen? Zhu Qizhen will kill Yu Qian, who you like, because Wala The people's slogan is "Bong Emperor Returns to Beijing" because Yu Qian did not support his imperial conquest, because Yu Qian quickly changed the new emperor. Yu Shangshu did everything right, very wonderful, but in the eyes of the emperor, this is someone who abandoned him like nothing Courtier."

"I don't care if that brainless brat dies or not? If I'm sensible, I'll hold a tree in the rain and wait for the lightning to strike." Wen Si pondered for a moment: "If anything happens to Yu Qian, I'll take him back with a gust of fairy wind."

The snake demon complained: "Hey, you are a ghost, that's a black wind, you can't move a living person! If I help, it's a black wind!"

A well-informed official said: "Yu Qian can be a god in the fairy world and a judge in the underworld. There is no need for you, a fat man with no power and no power, to cherish your talents here."

Wen Siqi ran away violently, drew out a cold iron kitchen knife and fought with him, and was violently suppressed.

……

Zhu Qizhen Wangyue was sad, he was depressed and wanted to die, but he didn't really want to die.

Yuan Bin comforted him in every possible way. At night, the guards drove the two into the carriage and slept together.

……

When the news spread to the capital, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked, and people in the inner palace were equally panic-stricken.

Zhu Qiyu must stick to the capital, but he went back to persuade the empress dowager and the empresses: "Leave the palace and avoid to Nanjing! In case there is any accident."

Empress Dowager Sun was strong, brave and rational at this time: "No, if the people know that both the Empress Dowager and the Empress have run away, their morale will drop."

Concubine Wu also said: "My son, I only rely on you. You will live and die with the capital, and I will live and die with you for my mother."

Empress Qian is concentrating on praying to Buddha...

Empress Wang raised her eyebrows: "Your Majesty, don't say that, it's useless."

Wan Zhen'er directly took out ten taels of silver, and asked the little maid to take it to the imperial dining room to buy vegetables. When she came back, she prepared a table of delicious dishes in the small kitchen of the Eastern Palace: sauerkraut and white meat, salted duck liver, roast duck, stewed pork...eight big bowls for four. Big plate, treat the nuns to a big meal.

Wiping his mouth full after eating, he carried the little prince straight to the Palace of Compassion and Ning: "Madam, I practiced martial arts when I was young, and now I have achieved a little. I would like to emulate Hua Mulan from the previous dynasty."

Zhang Shouyi: "Amitabha... hiss!"

The Empress Dowager Sun didn't wait for her to finish speaking: "Go back! Go back! The guards in the palace have also been dispatched and returned to Shangshu's dispatch. Now there are no guards inside and outside the palace gate. You should take good care of the little prince! This is the only one the emperor has. blood! You don’t have to go back, you and the prince are staying in the Compassion Palace.”

"It only takes three days for them to reach the capital."

Everyone discussed whether to hold out, or to meet the enemy outside the city.Shi Heng: "Send the troops into the city, confine the nine gates, and stick to the city to wait for assistance."

Yu Qian: "Wala, Yidi, and beasts are afraid of power but not virtuous. If they show weakness, these villains will only become more rampant."

Yu Qian also said: "Chen Bing and the outside of the city, with their backs against the city, will fight to the death with Wala! My colleagues, the country of the Ming Dynasty, is on our shoulders. The Wala people must be exhausted after traveling far away, burning, killing and looting all the way."

Yu Qian ordered: "Everything is prepared as usual."

He has already retrained hundreds of thousands of troops, and organized the three major battalions in the past into ten regiments, which are convenient for guarding the nine gates.Now I have sent people to explain to military officers at all levels the principle that 'the country is more important than the emperor'. The generals under the emperor's feet are familiar with the Supreme Emperor. If that fool mutinies when the Supreme Emperor comes out to call, then all of this will be lost. In vain.

On October [-], the Oirat army approached Beijing.
