The news of the emperor's defeat at Tumubao was sent back to Beijing, the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, on the next day. The Ming Dynasty and everyone in the country were shocked by the news. No one could have imagined that the 200,000-strong army of the Ming Dynasty's imperial commander would be defeated.
I stayed in the Tumu Fort, which was only twenty miles away from the Ming Dynasty military town Huai Lai, for two full days, and finally disappeared into ashes.
More than half of the 200,000-strong army were killed, wounded or captured, and the rest were scattered. More than fifty civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty were killed in the battle. Such a defeat was unprecedented since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Because the emperor went on an expedition, he was appointed as a prisoner.
Zhu Qiyu, the king of the country, told this news to Lei De, and all the civil and military officials in the capital were dumbfounded.
Want to defend, the three major battalions of the capital and the nearby soldiers and horses are almost all depleted due to the emperor's personal expedition, and want to go to war? Well, whoever dares to mention this will be the sixteenth power of two hundred and fifty.
Some people also proposed moving to the south. However, these suggestions were immediately opposed by many important ministers. Many ministers quoted scriptures and compared the move to the south in the Northern Song Dynasty. In a word, whoever dares to move to the south will be the number one in the world.
The prodigal son, the sinner of the Ming Empire.
There was a moment of dead silence in the court hall again. When King Xi, who was overseeing the country, was at a loss, Empress Dowager Sun finally took action and came forward in person to summon all the officials to make a plan. She said that when the emperor led the six armies to personally conquer, he had already ordered
King Tan supervised hundreds of officials in Beijing.
Nowadays, when the country is in crisis, everything must be prioritized. The Ming Dynasty cannot be without a king for a day. Although the emperor is now hunting in the north, the emperor has a son, so he issued an edict to Zhu Qizhen. The one who was just born was still eating.
The eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Jianshen, was the crown prince and ordered King Tan to assist in supervising the country. Naturally, the ministers had nothing to say. After all, the Queen Mother's decision was the most appropriate at present.
There was no ceremony for Zhu Jianshen, a child with still-born hair, to be established as the crown prince. After all, the most important thing at this time was to be able to confirm the title. Therefore, the opinions of the Empress Dowager Sun and the ministers were surprisingly consistent.
, after the edict was issued, three golden characters appeared out of thin air above Zhu Jianshen's head: Crown Prince. Of course, this was just a description. In short, after the edict was issued, the world was informed that Zhu Jianshen was already the Crown Prince.
The next day, King Tan, who was not an official emperor and was not qualified to control the main palace, held his first court meeting in the side hall. King Tan finally saw the power of the Ming Dynasty Civil Service Group, known as the most aggressive group in history.
Before the court meeting was announced to begin, General Huailai sent another messenger to the court to inform the court. He also sent an advance envoy to Huailai to inform the emperor. The emperor was invited by him to his military tent, and the soldiers and civilians were all attacked.
Serve this great prince of tomorrow with a friendly and respectful attitude.
Almost everyone just breathed a sigh of relief, and the little kid was raised to the throat again, and a pair of eyes suddenly bulged. Mao, the emperor is not dead, and he was kidnapped. What should we do?
The important ministers of the Ming Dynasty immediately gave up their original idea of taking advantage of the fact that most of the important ministers were killed and injured to seize power and distribute benefits. Instead, they worked together, with tears in their eyes, to denounce Wang Zhen, the dead eunuch, for endangering the clan.
After all, the emperor was captured because of Wang Zhen. Although this guy was dead at this time, he was a scapegoat with excellent appearance. After all, no one dared to jump out and directly accuse Zhu Qizhen of his sins. Therefore, Wang Zhen
Naturally, he became the number one target of the ministers in his court.
King Tao was dumbfounded as he watched these dignified ministers who were usually sanctimonious and always talked about benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust. Now one by two, like a group of shrews selling vegetables in an alley, they jumped out and asked King Tao to order them to be exterminated.
The entire Wang Zhen family.
Some were aggressive, some were crying, and some were beating their chests. In short, the atmosphere was solemn and solemn, and the cries were endless. People who didn't know better thought that this was not a court meeting, but a farewell ceremony and a criticism meeting.
King Yin was also upset. In a panic, he quietly got up and left his seat. He wanted to leave and went to the Empress Dowager Sun for instructions. Who knew that these ministers insisted on King Yin expressing his position on the spot.
King Tao was also helpless. The most important thing was that these ministers were really rogue, and they were getting closer and closer. King Tao was also a young man of about twenty years old. In addition to eating, drinking and having fun in his palace, he usually spent time with his wife.
Little wives and the like are playing hide-and-seek and trying hard to create humans, but how have they ever seen such a formation? Already so frightened that his face turned pale, he had to raise his hands to agree with the opinions of these ministers and ordered Ma Shun to go check on the king.
Zhen's home.
Speaking of which, Ma Shun is really disrespectful. As Wang Zhen's best friend, he is Wang Zhen's confidant who single-handedly promoted him to the important department of Jinyiwei Commander. Everyone must know what Jinyiwei does, and King Tao also knows it.
Naturally, he, the commander of the Imperial Guards, has to shoulder the important task.
As soon as they heard Ma Shun's name, almost all the ministers who were not from Wang Zhen's family couldn't help but tremble. Some ministers who were quick to respond jumped out and pointed out that Ma Shun was from Wang Zhen's party and asked King Tan to find someone else to copy it.
Jin Ying, the eunuch who delivered the order, was also a little bit arrogant. Seeing that King Xi was so frightened, he had already agreed to your house raids and was still fussing over it. He immediately straightened his face and ordered the ministers to withdraw from the court. His forehead was burning with anger.
At this time, all the officials were in a panic. They rushed forward to grab Jin Ying, the blind eunuch, and beat him first! Eunuch Jin, who was staring at stars, saw that the situation was not good, and rolled out crawling on the ground.
In the inner hall, where do you dare to stay and find someone to beat you?
King Tao was the focus of everyone's attention. Seeing the ferocious expressions of these ministers, he wanted to move but his feet were so scared that they were as weak as shrimps.
And Ma Shun, who had just received the order from King Xi, didn't know if he was out of his mind. At this time, he dared to jump out, raised his eyebrows and yelled: "It's really rude of you to wait. Now, Wang Zhen is dead, and waiting for you...
It’s okay that you are still chattering here and intending to kill everyone, but you still want to intimidate King Tao?”
As soon as the scolding voice came out, a pair of fire-breathing eyes glared at him fiercely. "Traitor, you are a traitor who is comparable to Wang Zhen, that traitorous eunuch. If you hadn't controlled the court and deceived,
How can you confuse the emperor? What happened today, you actually dare to speak nonsense here?!" A civil official raised his hand and pointed it like a sword, pointed it directly at the tall and powerful Ma Shun, and scolded sternly.
"Please don't be rude before King Xi comes! If you break the rules of the court, I don't mind letting you have a try." Ma Shun said with a gloomy face and a cold smile. In the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guards
How could Ma Shun, who was used to being domineering and arrogant, be made of clay? His hands were stained with countless bloodstains, so how could he be afraid of the clamor and threats from civil servants?
Those officials who originally thought they were extremely tough fell into the hands of Jin Yiwei. In the end, didn't they all lie at their feet and cry for mercy?
