Chapter 916: Taking over

"No!"

"No!"

"My lord, please think twice!"

After Zhou Yu said a series of words, one of the ministers finally realized something and quickly knelt down and began to ask Zhou Yu to take back his life.

"My lord, why do you treat the late emperor like this?"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible for the temple name to be named "Fort". Your Majesty, it would be better to change it to another one."

Zhou Yu looked at the kneeling ministers and said nothing. Several cabinet ministers did not express any opinions. Even Yu Qian stood aside dullly and did not get involved.

Yu Qian had a feeling that Zhou Yu's words and deeds just now were different from before, and they were too frivolous. Yu Qian suspected that there might be fraud, so he prepared to check the situation first to avoid getting burned. There is no such thing as a national crisis now.

It is necessary to continue to create conflicts with the emperor who is about to ascend the throne.

But Yu Qian is avoiding conflicts, but conflicts have to come to Yu Qian.

Zhou Yu saw Yu Qian burying his head and looking at ease and suddenly spoke: "Master Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War."

Yu Qian felt a little itchy and stepped forward, clasping his hands and bowing: "I'm here."

Zhou Yu chuckled lightly: "I would like to confirm again whether Your Majesty is the late emperor or the supreme emperor to me."

Yu Qian has a strong temper, and Zhou Yu is looking forward to hearing an answer that satisfies him.

But somehow, Yu Qian seemed to have become smarter today and gave an answer that surprised even Zhou Yu.

"I think the Empress Dowager is right, and all the ministers should think so too."

Zhou Yu glanced at Yu Qian strangely, and suddenly felt that this guy seemed to have become more diplomatic today. Instead of giving a clear answer, he said that the Queen Mother's decision was the right one.

But what Yu Qian thought was that the royal affairs were none of his business. The most prestigious emperor in the royal family, the Empress Dowager, had made a decision. It was better not to take things too seriously for a minister like him. After all, the royal family was here.

He has completely unified his attitude on this matter. He can be tough but cannot be tough in this situation. Moreover, King Xin saw that he had hidden bad intentions and asked him this question, so he naturally had to be careful in dealing with it.

"The face of the late emperor, the face of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhou Yu sighed and said quietly: "The Ming Dynasty does not need such a face. It only needs a reminder, a warning that can be engraved in the hearts of future generations. This is telling all of us.

When there is a problem, we must face it and solve it, instead of covering it up with a few small talk."

"Some ministers said that Yingzong can be used as the temple name. If Ying Zong is a true hero and wise enough, does that mean that the dozens of ministers who died in the Tumubao Incident are all idiots? A wise and brave monarch cannot lead several ministers.

Ten idiots won a war in our Ming Dynasty. Does that mean that the army that died in the battle were all trash? I agree with writing this, but will the world agree and will those families whose backbones died in the family agree?

"

"What should be done to appease the hatred, dissatisfaction, and pain of hundreds of thousands of families? Who in the future will be willing to sacrifice their lives and shed blood for the Ming Dynasty? This is a lesson and a history that should be remembered. Remember because a

The emperor has buried the backbone of my Ming Dynasty. Everyone should feel sad for this. Are you trying to save face for a dead person? Will he be grateful to you? Those who have lost their loved ones will also be grateful to you?"

Zhou Yu's voice suddenly became colder: "No, if the late emperor crawls out of the ground, you will definitely be killed, of course, including me. The elders can't escape, and Master Yu can't escape. Datong declares

Even the guards of the mansion cannot escape, and all the guards in the entire north cannot escape."

"Don't forget, it's not that I want to ascend the throne, it's you who force me to inherit the throne. If the late emperor is not dead, then you should know what this means to the late emperor. But fortunately, the late emperor has died on the battlefield.

There is no need to worry that he will come to trouble you. Since you have already offended me, why not offend him to the end? Even if you let him die, you will not be able to stand up. This is because I am thinking about you."

"I know that many of the ministers present are dissatisfied with me, but so what, I don't care at all. I don't care whether you discuss my deviance or ruthlessness in private, even if you scold me directly.

This king

I don’t care if you are a beast. As long as you have done something good for the Ming Dynasty, as long as you can help the Ming Dynasty get through this difficulty, it won’t matter if I bow to you in public. Will I lose a piece of meat? Or will I?

Losing face because of it?”

"You have to maintain your face by yourself. If a general dies in battle, even if I ascend the throne, I can kneel in front of the spiritual tablet, offer incense and kowtow. The people in the world will only say that I have sacrificed my heart and righteousness for the country, the country, and the country. It is worth a thousand pieces of gold."

Horse bones, that's when my king's face will be more dignified. If I fight to the death on the battlefield without surrendering and become the emperor guarding the country and the king dies in the country, then this is face and dignity. It is the dignity of my Ming Dynasty and the face of my Ming Dynasty!

"

"It is my king's decree to choose a suitable place to build a new mausoleum. It will be called Qunying Mausoleum. All the ministers who died in the battle of Tumubao will be moved into the mausoleum to be worshiped by the people of the world. From today on, all ministers who died for the country will

Those who have made meritorious service in battle, ranging from ordinary soldiers to generals and commanders, can be buried in this mausoleum. The royal family and even the king must pay homage to the heroic spirits who protect our Ming Dynasty every year."

Yu Qian's face suddenly turned red, but he was not angry but excited: "I accept the decree!"

"Also, there is no need to discuss the temple name of the Baozong and the posthumous title of the God of War and the Emperor." Zhou Yu said calmly: "In addition, there is no need to discuss the matter of the eldest son of the late emperor being made a marquis. Do I still want to make him a king?

?It can be easy for the eldest son of the late emperor

A happy life without getting involved in any trouble is the best thing for him. I don’t want to end up causing chaos in the court and the country because of today’s disaster. In this case, it’s okay to give up some people’s ideas from the beginning.

So that they don't cause any more trouble."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Suddenly someone raised his head and said loudly: "Then why didn't the prince make the eldest son the prince? It is common sense for the eldest son to succeed to the throne after the death of the previous emperor."

Many astonished eyes instantly fell on the minister who spoke. Yu Qian opened his mouth and closed it again without making any sound. Then he stared at Zhou Yu with his eyes, as if he wanted to

It can be seen from Zhou Yu that he has the same idea.

"Yeah." Zhou Yu thought seriously for a while and said calmly: "Do other ministers have the same opinion?"

If someone would put forward such an opinion, someone would naturally object to such an opinion. Immediately, someone jumped up and pointed at the minister just now and yelled: "What kind of peace of mind do you have!"

This was a bit interesting. He said half of it was left and half of it was left. Zhou Yu smiled when he heard it and didn't take it to heart.

The commotion below became louder and louder, and many ministers stood up and began to accuse and argue with each other. Zhou Yu sat on his chair and just watched without saying a word, but took note of those who thought that the eldest son of the emperor should be made the prince.

However, several cabinet elders and Yu Qian still did not join in or express any opinions.

"A group of foxes." Zhou Yu made a circle in his mind, waved to a guard in uniform standing by, whispered a few words and then closed his eyes without saying a word.

After waiting for a while, Zhou Yu opened his eyes and said loudly: "Stop arguing, I am still very open-minded. Anyway, I have not yet had time to ascend the throne. There is still time for everything. Ministers, you can consider that we, the minority, must obey the majority."

, If the ministers agree with the appointment of the emperor's eldest son as the prince, they can stand on the left side of the king, and if they feel that royal affairs should not be interfered with, they can stand on the right side of the king."

The ministers suddenly became quiet. You looked at me and I looked at you. Some people had already made up their minds and walked directly to the left, such as the minister who just proposed this idea.

Several pavilion elders shook their heads and sighed. After some discussion, they still walked neatly to Zhou Yu's right side. In the midst of the national crisis, some people were still thinking about some unrealistic things. Even if they were thinking about it, it shouldn't be at such a time.

, young and impulsive, I don’t even want to think about whose hands the entire capital is in the end. Everything inside and outside the palace, and in the capital, is under the control of King Tan.

There are stubborn and rigid people in the court, but there are more smart people. Now the Empress Dowager supports King Yi and the capital is also controlled by King Yi. The Queen Mother Sun is banned, but no one supports these people who make King Yi look bad in public. Regardless of the future

It's not immediately obvious what to choose now.

Even Yu Qian followed the three court elders and stood on the right side of Zhou Yu. Moreover, Zhou Yu's last words reminded everyone that the matter of establishing a crown prince was related to the country and was a private matter of heaven. A courtier dared to interfere with the crown prince.

Isn’t this fight for position seeking death?

Zhou Yu glanced at the huge gap between the two sides and shook his head slightly. He said to the person on the left: "The minority obeys the majority. Don't mention this matter again in the future. You have violated the taboo by trying to interfere in the country's affairs. But I think

As you ministers, please pretend that the incident involving today did not happen, but you must remember not to cause trouble again. If you do it again, I will not be lenient."

The faces of the few people on the left were a little pale, but when they heard Zhou Yu spare them so simply, they felt relieved and quickly knelt down: "Thank you, King Tan."

"The Ministry of Ceremonies will make arrangements as soon as possible for the enthronement to be simple, and all other matters will be handled according to the king's opinions. Now we still need to discuss the food and fodder for the army and how to deal with the Oara army. When will the Bei Cao army and the Japanese army be prepared to arrive in Beijing?

How many generals are available now, and how many generals can we choose to lead the army?"

The topic was directly led by Zhou Yu to military affairs, which was equivalent to depriving some people of their right to speak. Only some relevant ministers could confront Zhou Yu.

The day passed like this, and I felt like I had dealt with a lot of things.

Yu Qian also recommended a leading general named Shi Heng to Zhou Yu. Yu Qian said that this was a very capable person and a rare talent today. He had made military exploits against Walado in his early years and even reported to Emperor Baozong.

Please be in Datong

He built forts on the border, and also led his soldiers to reclaim land on the border to grow grain and grass. He then defeated the Walas many times in different places and was promoted to the rank of Governor Qianshi. Not long ago, he was promoted to Governor Tongzhi. He is already a second-rank official.

Already.

But there are other things worth mentioning about this Shi Heng. First of all, when Emperor Daizong, the real Zhu Qiyu, was seriously ill, he led the coup of seizing the door and was named Duke of the country by Emperor Baozong. After that, he became more and more arrogant and domineering.

He let a member of the clan pretend to be a military leader and was eventually executed by the whole family.

He does have the ability, but he is also a person who cannot control his ambition.

Although he knew what kind of person Shi Heng was, Zhou Yu still listened to Yu Qian's opinion and appointed him. Zhou Yu was not afraid of ambitions. Zhou Yu believed that he had the ability to suppress Shi Heng's ambitions. Moreover, because of the battle at Tumu Fort, Zhou Yu

After losing too many generals, we can only select outstanding people to lead the army.

As for other good generals, there are also Yang Hong, Fang Ying, Guo Deng, Zhu Qian, Luo Tong and others. Even Yu Qian is a general who can lead troops in war.

Moreover, Zhou Yu knew very well that military power was no longer safer in anyone's hands than in his own hands. Even the emperor could never hand over military power to others, especially the three major battalions in the capital. Zhou Yu would definitely know about these matters.

Please note that arrangements will be made slowly.

Nowadays, dealing with Wala Ye is the top priority, and the second priority is Queen Mother Sun.

A few more days passed in the blink of an eye. Zhou Yu was busy in the palace every day. Not only did he have to lead the preparations for the war, he also had to deal with various official affairs sent from various places. Not only Zhou Yu, but also the cabinet was also very busy.

.

Even the old men in the cabinet are somewhat older and are not as capable as Zhou Yu, and their speed is even less than that of Zhou Yu. The efficiency is still far behind.

Many ministers also come and go in the Wenhua Palace every day. Looking at Zhou Yu's diligent look, they thought it was a bit too expressive at first. However, after getting the various information approved by Zhou Yu and the arrangements and opinions on many state affairs,

My initial thoughts were reversed in the shortest possible time.

Even before Zhou Yu ascended the throne, many people regarded Zhou Yu as a wise emperor and the master of ZTE. This ability was simply much better than that of Emperor Baozong, whether it was in terms of political tactics or political ability, or even military

On the other hand, he was also able to analyze the comments of the ministers and generals. In the short time they spent together, no one in the court dared to underestimate Zhou Yu, not even Yu Qian.

Finally, the chosen day came, Zhou Yu put on the dragon robe and crown, and was enthroned as emperor in the presence of the Empress Dowager and with the support of the ministers.

The princess also became the princess, and the prince became the prince. The changes were so fast, even though they had been informed in advance, the two princesses still felt a little unnatural.

But these trivial things will not affect the overall situation, and as Zhou Yu issued many decrees one after another after he ascended the throne, the response from the people was not known, and the response from the court was already over, but there was news from the harem

According to the news, the Queen Mother suddenly vomited blood and the Queen Mother was also bedridden. No one else knew, but Zhou Yu knew that she was angry.

After all, the two labels of Baozong and Daming Victory were attached to the former emperor, which is a label that is difficult to wash away with history. As the closest people to the Baozong Emperor, these two people may also be recorded by history as the Demon Queen.
