It was no one else who came. Everyone present was familiar with it, but they were surprised.
Standing on the top step, it was Chang Sen, the third eldest son of the Chang family who was born in the founding government and is now in charge of the direct military guards.
The Chang family has become more and more powerful in the military in recent years.
In Yingtian City, everyone said that the descendant of Kaiping Zhongwu Queen, who was known as Chang Shiwan, had not fallen from the glory of her father's generation, and that the Chang Mansion was even more prosperous than before.
Let’s just say that now, Chang Sheng, the founding Duke of the Chang Mansion, is also the general who conquers the south and is about to be promoted to a king, opening up thousands of miles of territory for the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone knows that once the southern expedition stabilizes, there is a high possibility that the imperial court will keep Chang Sheng, who has been crowned king, in the capital and join the cabinet to participate in military and state affairs.
And the third eldest son of the Chang family is the Chang Sen in front of him.
It is also a blessing that is countless.
Even when his elder brother is leading an army to conquer the country abroad, he can also gain the emperor's trust, take charge of the forbidden areas of the palace, and have the emperor's personal army, the Imperial Guards, in his hands.
The appearance of Chang Sen himself here was far more unexpected and surprising than the death of an old scalper in the so-called suburbs of the city.
And he even said that there was a barbecue on the top of the mountain.
Who could be with someone like Chang Sen?
I'm afraid they are all the most meritorious princes in the Ming Dynasty.
What a coincidence.
Some people who had only known the true meaning of today's autumn outing couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, and finally understood.
Today is not only a gathering of those officials who are diligent in studying in the DPRK, but also a gathering of civil and military officials who have made great contributions to the DPRK!
Chang Sen came forward.
This almost brings together the core figures from both the civil and military parties of North Korea and China.
Xie Jin walked to the front of the crowd and raised his hands: "It turns out to be the general. Unfortunately, we met him here today at Shogunate Mountain."
As he spoke, he was already climbing up the top steps.
Zou Xueyu, Wang Xinling and others followed him.
When we reach the top of the steps, the scenery further up the mountain comes into view.
Xie Jin has already arrived in front of Chang Sen.
Looking at Xie Jin, Chang Sen held a salute with both hands and said with a smile: "Today, I and my colleagues in the army at the Governor's Office inspected the defenses in various places in the suburbs of Beijing. We climbed to the top of the shogunate mountain to review the defenses along the river. I heard that there are people here.
After hearing the news, I became curious and came to check. Unexpectedly, it was Jie Ge and you all who were traveling in autumn again."
With a smile on his face, Xie Jin glanced at the fireworks rising from the top of Mufu Mountain, feeling a little helpless.
I don’t know why these people are so obsessed with the old scalper who fell to death.
"It's just a discussion and exchange with my colleagues in Xinxue."
Xie Jin declined.
Chang Sen shook his head repeatedly: "Xie Ge is the leader in the world's mind science. If we talk about exchanging ideas, I'm afraid no one in the world can compare with him."
"I don't think so." Xie Jin declined habitually.
Chang Sen glanced at the people he was interested in who were all coming up. He turned sideways and looked at the highest peak of Shogunate Mountain, and then said, "Please give me the invitation first. If you want to come, I'll wait for you, and the meat will be grilled."
"Together we go!"
…
In a few moments, even to the top of the mountain.
Except for the invited military commander Chang Sen, the top of the mountain was surrounded by officers and soldiers.
And around the barbecue grill with a whole ox in the middle, there were all the meritorious military generals in Beijing.
Looking carefully, these people are all from Huaiyou, or are members of the military who are related to the group that contributed to the founding of Huaiyou.
Even Tang Li, who originally went to mourn in Fengyang, didn't know when he would return to Beijing, and he is here today.
"Old Jiege!"
This group of people, who either contributed to the founding of the country or were generals in the army, all looked at Jie Jin who was bringing people over and spoke out one after another.
There were many uncles present.
But it was Tang Li who stood up and said, "It's just a good time for Mr. Xie Ge to come. The old ox just happened to be roasted. So I will hold the knife and divide the meat for Xie Ge."
Although Tang Li does not have a title, he is still the governor of the five-army governor's office under the governor's office. But now the Tang family is a relative of the emperor. Except that his status in the army is slightly lower than that of the Chang family, he has already changed from what he used to be.
.
Xie Jin cupped his hands and thanked him, and was led by Chang Sen to sit down in the court.
Zou Xueyu, Wang Xinling and others were also accompanied by this group of meritorious generals.
It is rare to see such a harmonious civil and military scene in the whole court, and today it happened on the highest peak of Shogun Mountain.
As soon as he sat down, Xie Jin smelled the rich aroma of meat.
Chang Sen explained in a low voice at the side: "Originally Mr. Xu was coming, but...so, I am here with the Tang brothers today."
Xie Jin nodded.
Wenyuan Pavilion was not full to begin with, so Gao Yangzhi accompanied the emperor's grandson on a northern tour.
Today I left Wenyuan Pavilion, and only Ren Hengtai and Xu Yungong were left there.
Xie Jin lowered his head, but a plate of meat sent by Tang Li was placed in front of him. Later, the soldiers of this group of meritorious generals brought some vegetables to go with the wine.
He whispered: "It's too ostentatious."
It turned out that something happened on Fengyang and Henan Roads, and the deposed Guangling County Prince was missing and might have been robbed by gangsters.
According to Xie Jin's intention, a few people discussed preparations for the DPRK in private.
On the contrary, Wei Guogong, the Tang family, and the Chang family had discussed in advance that they must come to Mufu Mountain to have such a chance encounter during the autumn outing that anyone with a discerning eye could see was deliberate.
Chang Sen nodded, raised a glass with Xie Jin, and after drinking wine, he whispered: "If it were placed in a military formation, this matter would be just a matter of setting up a military formation and fighting each other, let's see who is stronger and who is weaker.
If we are just hiding, those gangsters really won't expect it? Even if we don't do anything, we just sit quietly in the court and watch those people take action.
It would be better to put this matter in front of everyone's eyes.
I have discussed it with several other people, and today’s matter may seem to be a matter for His Highness the Emperor Taisun, but in fact it is for the purpose of showing it to His Majesty, the Emperor of Pilgrimage.”
At the end of the sentence, Chang Sen folded his hands and cupped them in the direction of Yingtian City.
On the other side, Zou Xueyu also sat at the table of Xie Jin and Chang Sen at Tang Li's invitation.
As for where other people are sitting, there is some distance from here.
Jie Jin raised his head and glanced at Chang Sen, then sighed softly.
"Do you think His Majesty will not trust you?"
Chang Sen opened his mouth, and Xie Jin knew what these families were thinking.
Just like Chang Sen said just now.
Everyone can see clearly what the court's current situation is. Everyone also knows who might take action to cause chaos.
The Chang family, Xu family, and Tang family continued to do this because they were afraid that the emperor would become suspicious and think that they were trying to do something wrong.
These are all His Majesty's methods used in the past years to scare these people.
Today's situation is to explain to the emperor that they are doing it for the great grandson, for the Hongwu New Deal, for the common people of the world, and for the Ming Dynasty.
Tang Li, who had just sat down, quickly said: "Xie Ge would never dare to say that. Our families are all members of the founding family, and we all followed His Majesty in Huaiyou. We are loyal and have worked for the Ming Dynasty through life and death.
, my fathers and brothers often wrap their bodies in horse leather. In fact, I am loyal and filial, and your majesty trusts me."
Zou Xueyu observed the words and expressions on the side and explained: "Captain Tang, this is not the intention of dismantling the pavilion."
Jie Jin raised his hand to stop Zou Xueyu's words, and looked at Chang Sen and Tang Li: "We are all members of the country, so we don't care about this place."
Chang Sen nodded and said: "Actually, today has nothing to do with anything else. From our point of view, what if there is chaos in the place? It is better if there is chaos. Only when there is chaos can the court see clearly who is causing the chaos.
We, the warriors, cannot do anything to untie the cabinet or to govern the country. If there is chaos, we will lead the troops to put it down. As long as I am here and there are millions of troops from the imperial court, there will be no chaos in the world.
Today I am discussing with several other people, so I will only talk about one thing, but it is also the most important thing for my Ming Dynasty right now."
Jie Jin nodded slightly, his eyelids sank, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Zou Xueyu understood and said, "I wonder what the commander is talking about?"
Chang Sen and Tang Li looked at each other.
In the end, Chang Sen nodded and said: "Guoben."
Xie Jin immediately opened his eyes and looked sideways.
Chang Sen said in a deep voice: "Officials in the Jiege and various ministries and yamen in the central government worry about how to govern the world better and how to feed and clothe the people every day.
We warriors are stupid and all we want is stability in the world and stability in the country.
It's not called "Jiege" either. Magistrate Zou would laugh at it.
Although my family is one of those who share the founding meritorious service with the country, we enjoy the glory and wealth that the world envies and pass it down from generation to generation.
But my family and others share the same destiny with the country, and all our blessings and honors are tied to His Majesty.
A wise king is rare. In the former Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Your Majesty was born in Huaiyou, and so were we. But today, the world is settled, the weather is smooth, and there are countless virtuous people in the court.
Your Majesty is a wise king who is rarely seen in the ages, and a prince also has the appearance of a wise king. Over the years, His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson has grown up, and he looks just like your Majesty and the Prince.
We are naturally happy and at peace.
If at this time, someone wants to create turmoil, plot evil, and do things that go against heaven. As the saying goes, once the emperor is the same as the ministers, we and other meritorious people will be more prosperous in the court.
By that time, not only will the world be in chaos, but I and others will probably lose the honor and grace of living together with the country."
The civil servants hope for peace in the world, and the meritorious generals in the DPRK also hope so.
No meritorious person or general in the army would want the world to be in chaos.
At most, they hope that the imperial court will have the motivation to continuously expand its territory so that people like them can continue to gain military honors.
Tang Li coughed slightly, attracting the attention of Xie Jin and Zou Xueyu.
The Tang family is now the natal family of the Crown Princess. Even if no one has said it, the Tang family has always been at the core of the so-called Taisun Party where they gathered together.
Tang Li's eyes were gloomy, with murderous intent in his eyes, and he said in an unceremonious voice: "So Zhu Yunwen must be found, and he must be killed for treason before His Highness knows about it! No future troubles will be left!"
The Chang family cannot afford to lose, and the Xu family cannot afford to lose.
The Tang family cannot afford to lose!
Xie Jin's eyes moved slightly, with a bit of fear in his eyes.
Zou Xueyu quickly lowered his head.
Although that person has been deposed for many years now, after all, he is still of royal blood.
Can you hear this too?
I really want to go down the mountain and dig a ditch.
Zou Zhifu felt pity in his heart.
Tang Li continued to say in a cold voice: "The news from Zhongdu is that His Highness sealed the city the day before to purge the White Lotus Sect thieves in the city. The next day, Zhu Yunwen left the city alone with his wife and disappeared since then.
How dare he!
Leaving the city alone? I’m afraid that he must have deceived His Highness and saw that all the White Lotus Sect thieves in Fengyang City were executed, so he left the city and absconded the next day!”
Xie Jin's eyes flickered and he reminded: "The reason why the deposed Guangling County Prince disappeared has not yet been found out by the court."
Tang Li opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Chang Sen stopped him with his hand.
The commander-in-chief, who was directly in charge of the military guards, said with a slight smile: "Jie Ge, no matter how the cripple disappeared, his identity will cause countless troubles.
Such troubles cannot be compared to local chaos and the obstruction caused by the New Deal.
If he was coerced by thieves and involved in this accident on the river, he could use this to criticize the imperial court, slander the New Deal, and frame His Highness. Even if the imperial court knew it, what would the people in the world think?
How much food did the imperial court spend on the dams and water reduction dams built by the governor's office on the river? How many casualties were caused when they were destroyed this time?
At that time, people in the world will probably only think that His Highness was involved in corruption and corruption, and that His Highness caused chaos in the place and caused disaster to the people for his own selfish purposes.
Even then, those thieves will reveal what happened in the 24th year of Hongwu. At that time, how will the people of the world view His Highness, Your Majesty and the Crown Prince?
I am afraid that our royal family of the Ming Dynasty will have the same reputation as that of the former Tang Dynasty!"
What happened in the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu?
The originally unknown grandson of the emperor suddenly seemed to have enlightened his mind overnight. Since then, he has been out of control, frequently refreshing people's knowledge.
Then, something happened in the palace.
Even if it is covered up in layers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But people really don’t know that it was a palace change?
What is the reputation of the former Tang Dynasty?
The royal family is ruthless and fratricidal.
Jie Jin frowned and was silent, seeming to be thinking about a certain decision.
Chang Sen sneered and looked at Zou Xueyu, who lowered his head and wanted to go down the mountain and continue the simple task of digging trenches.
"Zou Zhifu."
Zou Xueyu's shoulders were shaken, and he raised his head to look at Mr. Chang in front of him with blank eyes: "Chang...what are your orders, Commander Chang?"
The smile on Chang Sen's face became calmer: "Governor Zou, please tell me, if those thieves start an uprising or create chaos in the local area and the court, will there be a memorial to impeach the New Deal and a document to appeal?"
Zou Xueyu blinked and nodded blankly: "I think about it... I think there should be some..."
Chang Sen patted the table with his palm and continued to ask: "If this is the case, does Magistrate Zou think that by then, there will be an impeachment memorial and petition against His Highness?"
"This..." Zou Xueyu glanced at Mr. Jie, and finally nodded and whispered: "I think it will happen."
Chang Sen's eyes immediately sank: "If this is the case, Zhu Yunwen will definitely kill him!"
…
Deng Deng Deng.
Fengtian Temple.
This is the first of the three main halls in the imperial city, which is only used when major court meetings and ceremonies are held. On the high steps, behind the imperial palace.
A rare appearance of the emperor appeared.
And today, the emperor is completely different from before.
Zhu Yuanzhang today is wearing a black gauze winged crown, a bright yellow tuanlong narrow-sleeved round collar robe, and a crimson cross-collar lining.
The old man has deep eyes and is sitting on the dragon chair.
And at the lower levels of the Imperial Palace, the Commander-in-Chief of the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Gu, was dressed in a flying fish suit with an embroidered spring knife on his waist, which was a very majestic attire.
At this moment, he was kneeling respectfully on the golden bricks of the main hall.
It had been a full quarter of an hour, and the emperor still did not speak.
Jiang Wei had some doubts in his heart. Is His Majesty thinking about how many people he wanted to kill this time?
Finally, the familiar voice belonging to His Majesty the Emperor came from above.
"Jiang Wei, are all the people at Shogunate Mountain here?"
