The capital was in chaos.
More than 30 of the descendants of the revered heroes of Jingnan were imprisoned.
More than 200 people were affected by this.
His family property was confiscated and his title was taken away.
The entire capital was in a state of panic.
What was the new emperor going to do?
Under the instigation of some people, rumors of the new emperor's brutality and ruthlessness spread everywhere after he slaughtered the loyal and loyal officials.
The remonstrance memorials fell into the cabinet like snowflakes.
These people who submitted the memorial to plead for mercy included the descendants of other meritorious officials and also the relatives of the emperor who were married to them.
There were even many civil officials.
They joined forces to put pressure on the new emperor.
The cabinet elders panicked.
Faced with this small mountain of memorials, they could not make up their minds and could only hurry to see the new emperor.
Zhu Qiyu casually picked up a few books and read them.""Haha, don't worry, my dear ministers. I will make them convinced.”
"As for the traitors who are jumping up and down, Zhen has already received a secret order from the Embroidered Uniform Guards.”
Seeing that the new Emperor had already known about it and had a well-thought-out plan, the Pavilion Elders felt a little more at ease.
The descendants of these meritorious generals might not be able to go to the battlefield.
But when it came to schemes and plots, they were very good at it.
"Dear ministers, is there anything else?”
Zhu Qiyu then looked at these ministers.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say.”
The Ming Dynasty's prodigy, the current cabinet elder, Shang Lu, stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, there are more than three hundred vacancies in the various yamen in the capital. After discussing for a while, we sincerely request that some of the officials in exile, imperial prison, and imperial prison be released.”
"Most of these people were framed and suppressed by Wang Zhen and his accomplices before they were arrested and imprisoned. Many of them are honest officials."
The other Pavilion Elders all bowed." Pavilion Elder Shang is right. Your Majesty is a benevolent ruler. Please forgive them." At the same time, he could also deal with the crisis in front of him.”
Zhu Qiyu was shocked. He had been too focused on military affairs today and had neglected this point.
"Yes. Not only were these persecuted officials released, but the reputation of the officials who had been harmed to death was also restored.”
"At the same time, grant amnesty to the world. As for the specific rules, you can discuss them and draft a memorial.”
When the pavilion elders heard this, tears welled up in their eyes."Your Majesty is truly a benevolent ruler.”
Cining Palace.
All the eunuchs and palace maids had been replaced by Xing An and Gao Ping.
Furthermore, the palace was strictly guarded by the Jinyiwei, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
In the palace, the only old man who served Empress Dowager Sun was Zhu Jianshen's nanny.
"Empress Dowager, just drink some medicine."
The plump nanny begged.
Zhu Jianshen, the cub, was lying in front of the bed and said in a childish voice,"Grandmother…now that you've recovered, you can play with your grandson.”
"Good grandson, grandmother drinks, grandmother drinks.”
Empress Dowager Sun looked at her youngest grandson and suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
After she drank the medicine, she finally had a trace of strength.
"This widow cannot sit still and wait for death. This widow wants all the vassal kings to come and help the king.”
Thinking of this, she immediately sat up and asked Nanny to bring some paper.
Then, he cut his finger and began to write a blood letter.
"Use carrier pigeons to send this message to the people outside. Send it to King Qi, King Qin, King Zhou, and the other vassal kings. Have them lead their armies to the capital to help the king.”
"When my son returns, this world and the throne will still belong to us.”
Nanny did not say anything and did as she was told.
Nianci Palace.
Zhu Qiyu, who had been working hard for the entire day, was currently having dinner with Empress Wu.
"Mother, why aren't you eating?"
"Mother has already eaten. Emperor, quickly eat. Mother will watch you eat.”
Empress Dowager Wu's eyes were filled with love as she picked up food for him."It's been a long time since we've had such a leisurely meal.”
"If mother doesn't find your son annoying, your son will come to pay his respects every day and eat with you.”Zhu Qiyu laughed.
"Silly child." Empress Dowager Wu said happily. At the same time, she said,"Emperor, you are now twenty years old. It is time for you to marry the daughter of Grand Tutor Wang.”
Zhu Qiyu was startled. Only now did he remember that he actually did not have an empress.
Although he had two concubines, he didn't have a real wife.
They were supposed to get married this year, but who knew that they would encounter Zhu Qizhen's personal expedition, so it was delayed.
"Let's wait until the situation is stable." Zhu Qiyu replied.
Empress Dowager Wu knew that her son was already the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
Even as her biological mother, she could only give him a reminder.
"Emperor, many noble ladies have come to Nian Ci Palace today.”
"Mother knows that Emperor Taizu once ordered the harem not to interfere in politics, but Mother hopes that you can weigh the pros and cons.”
Zhu Qiyu nodded. He knew that his mother, the Wu family, was anxious to love her son.
She was afraid that his willfulness would cause some trouble.
"Mother, your son knows what to do in this matter. Tomorrow, I will let them understand how grave their sins are.”
Empress Dowager Wu looked at her confident son and nodded in relief."The outside world says that you are a benevolent ruler. When you should be magnanimous, you should be magnanimous.”
"Your son understands."
The next day.
The civil and military officials who were supposed to enter Taihe Palace received an unexpected edict.
That was to follow the new emperor to the camp in the suburbs of the capital.
They weren't the only ones who had received the edict. All the meritorious officials and generals of the capital had to go with them.
No one understood what the new emperor was up to.
At this moment, Zhu Qiyu was wearing golden armor and a golden helmet. He was dressed in a military uniform that was filled with a heroic aura.
When the civil and military officials saw this, they were all shocked.
Some of the officials wanted to dissuade him, but Zhu Qiyu's cold eyes swept over them. They immediately shivered and didn't dare to say anything.
Over a thousand elite Jinyiwei served as retinues.
Nearly a thousand civil and military officials, generals, and relatives of the emperor followed behind.
Zhu Qiyu was dressed in a bright military uniform, riding a white Ferghana Horse, walking at the forefront.
All the officials and citizens of the capital were shocked.
Everyone was discussing the purpose of the Emperor's trip.
"Tsk tsk, this new emperor is really different. The last time I saw an emperor riding a horse was Emperor Xuanzong.”
"That's right. Our new emperor seems to be really different. He looks heroic and has the style of an ancestor.”
"Is this the new emperor's greeting to the soldiers in the capital's outskirts? It was said that the soldiers there had quarreled several times because of the issue of food and pay.”
At the camp in the suburbs of the capital.
Yu Qian had already ordered tens of thousands of soldiers to be ready to welcome the arrival of the new emperor.
These soldiers were extremely excited.
Yesterday, the salary that the imperial court owed them for several months had finally been paid.
Moreover, it was two months longer.
Other than that, there were new clothes, food, wine, and cloth.
All of this was the grace and reward of the new emperor.
But these soldiers were just as curious as the officials and commoners of the capital.
Why did the emperor bring all the officials and generals to inspect the army?
They even brought over the descendants of the meritorious officials who had committed crimes in the imperial prison.
What was the purpose of this?
