4、Chapter 4 courtiers and harem

　　Let someone take Xining away first, and only he and Zhu Qizhen are left in the tent. "I know you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Now that you have fallen into my hands, you must obediently listen to me, understand?" he said slowly. Zhu Qizhen had no choice but to nod helplessly.

　　The news of the emperor's capture was brought back to the court by the Wara envoy who demanded ransom. The ministers were all panicked, and the concubines and palace maids in the harem wept uncontrollably. The scariest and most anxious person is none other than Empress Qian. There was not much money in the harem, so she gave her jewelry and treasures to the Wara envoy, hoping to exchange them for Zhu Qizhen. But these cannot be satisfied first, he still wants more treasures, and of course he refuses to let Zhu Qizhen go.

　　Compared to Empress Qian's impulsiveness, the courtiers are much calmer. They were mainly divided into two factions: the main war faction and the main peace faction. The main member of the main faction is the famous Yu Qian, while the main member of the main faction is called Xu Qian. Xu Ting has studied some astrology, but most of them are not effective. On the night before the Battle of Tupu Castle, he watched the celestial phenomena at night and hurriedly said to his wife, "I watched the celestial phenomena at night. The emperor is going to have an accident, so hurry back to your mother's house to hide." His wife smiled and passed away. Unexpectedly, the Civil Castle Incident occurred the next day, and from then on, everyone admired his iron mouth calculation.

　　On August 18th, the 14th year of the Zhengtong reign (lunar calendar), inside the Forbidden City in Beijing

　　A meeting is unfolding. The meeting was presided over by the interim emperor Zhu Qiyu (the younger brother of Zhu Qizhen). Xu Qian first spoke, "Now that Your Majesty is deeply trapped in Walla, why not move the capital south, negotiate peace with Walla, and protect half of the Ming Dynasty?" Everyone remained silent after listening. This seems to be the best way. Yu Qian looked around at the people, but no one raised any objections. He took a step forward and shouted loudly, "I suggest that those who move south should be killed!" With a roar, the silence was broken. Yu Qian, then served as the Minister of War.

　　Yu Qian continued, "The capital is the foundation of a country. If the capital is moved, the situation cannot be reversed. Have you forgotten about the Southern Crossing of the Song Dynasty?" His roar awakened many indecisive people. The Minister of Personnel, Wang Zhi, openly supported Yu Qian, and a person in Ming Dynasty history who was a triple star in the imperial examinations - Shanglu. Later, important officials during the Xianzong period also stood on his side. The determination of the main faction finally moved Zhu Qiyu and strengthened his determination to fight to the end. Zhu Qiyu entrusted the heavy responsibility of defending Beijing to Yu Qian
