"No! Now our Ming Dynasty is peaceful and the people are safe. There is no warning at the border. The capital is important, so how can we just ban it?" Gao Gu heard Wang Wen's words and couldn't help but stood up and glared at Wang Wen and argued not to be outdone.
"Mr. Gao Ge, this is His Majesty's holy order, do you want to resist it?" Wang Cheng, who had been silent for the whole time, rolled his eyelids and shouted coldly at Gao Gu.
"Aren't you afraid of making the people of the capital panic and uneasy?" Gao Gu snorted coldly and still retorted forcefully. "Your Majesty is seriously ill and must be cautious in everything. If this order is issued and all nine doors are banned, who can?
An, when the time comes, there will be lots of rumors, how should we deal with them?"
"Mr. Gao Ge, you must not forget that in extraordinary times, extraordinary things must be done. Your Majesty is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He has the body of a true dragon. Who can bear the slightest mistake? You have tried to stop this over and over again. Yes.
What's the point?" Zhang Yongyin, the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor, said thoughtfully.
Seeing that Gao Gu was arguing with these eunuchs who had Zhu Qiyu's trust, Wang Wen couldn't help but frown and cast his eyes on Chen Xun. Since the last time he was recovering from illness, this slippery chief had
The assistant returned to the court again. Now, Gao Gu is arguing with the eunuchs. If Chen Xun, the chief assistant, does not agree, then Zhu Qiyu's imperial edict will become the imperial edict. The officials below have the right not to obey.
.
Therefore, the most important thing is to convince Chen Xun, the treacherous first assistant, and then the cabinet will vote and hand it over to the eunuchs for approval. After all, although Wang Wen is a second-rank official, he is only the second assistant after all.
.
"I'm old and my eyes are dim, I really can't see clearly... Sigh." Chen Xun blinked his slit eyes, but the expression and tone on his face looked so gloomy and depressed. Wang Wen couldn't help but frown.
Is this old official trying to play another trick?
"Oops! No, no, the old man's eyesight is not good, and he can't even hold a pen with his hand. It seems that the old disease has returned..." Before he finished speaking, Chen Xun rolled his eyes, shook his head like a lion, and then directly
He collapsed on the chair, as if in a coma, and then slid out of the chair to the floor in slow motion...
All the people in the hall were shocked and dumbfounded. Nima, this old official is so shameless, right? He pretended to be unconscious right here.
"Chen Shoufu, Mr. Shoufu, Mr. Chen, wake up quickly. What should we do?" Shang Ren, who was far away, was a down-to-earth person. When he saw that Mr. Shoufu suddenly fell into a coma, he was shocked.
Startled, he strode over and helped Chen Xun sit on the floor. He quickly shouted towards the door: "Come here, hurry up and call the imperial doctor."
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
"It's time for our chief minister's old illness to relapse." Wang Cheng, whose face was ashen as frightening, stared at Chen Xun who was shamelessly lying in Shang Ren's arms and continued to pretend to be unconscious, and couldn't help but sneered.
"My lord, your chief assistant is in such a situation, why do you need to speak harshly?" Gao Gu almost laughed out loud, and finally managed to turn the sly expression on his face into a scowl, and shouted at Wang Cheng.
It took Wang Wen a long time to resist the angry urge to kick Chen Xunchuai in order to test the seriousness of the chief minister's condition. He sighed and said: "That's all, since Chen's old illness has relapsed and he can't manage.
After a while, let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat you, and then send the chief assistant back to the mansion first. Since the chief assistant can't take charge of the affairs, let me make the decisions."
After hearing Wang Wen's words, Chen Dashoufu, who was still "unconscious", had his eyelashes twitching slightly. However, he decided to continue to remain in a coma. In short, safety came first, and protecting oneself wisely was the most important thing.
At the same moment, the Chaohe River was full of people. In the camp of Zhu Qi Town, he was discussing matters with the generals and generals of Zhubian Town gathered in the camp. He saw a guard with a group of people.
He couldn't hide the excitement and joy on his face and then rushed in. He even shouted loudly regardless of his manners. "Your Majesty, news from the capital, good news!"
After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but stood up suddenly, grabbed the note handed over by the guard and stared at it...
"We're finally here." Zhu Qizhen let out a sigh of relief after reading the information that had just been sent through his subordinates. The dark clouds that had accumulated between his brows for many days gradually dispersed. "I, finally.
I’ve been waiting for this day.”
The generals and generals sitting in the hall, discussing how to divide the defense zones and supervise the affairs of the grassland tribes in their respective defense zones, couldn't help but be stunned when they saw these two words suddenly coming out of Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen glanced at the generals in the hall, raised the note handed over by Qian Zhong in his hand, and said word for word: "I have decided to go to the capital in person, present prisoners to the ancestral temple, and inform all the late emperors that I,
Finally, the shame of the civil fortress of the Ming Dynasty has been averted, and the grassland troubles that have plagued the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years have been solved."
"Your Majesty!" Suddenly hearing the news that Zhu Qizhen was about to go to the capital, everyone in the hall couldn't help but stand up suddenly, with a look of astonishment on their faces. Although they had been mentally prepared for a long time, they did not expect that this day would come so quickly.
quick.
"I would like to accompany you. Please give me your Majesty's permission!" Jiang Fu, Jiang Fu again, the grassroots man jumped out first again and prostrated himself to the ground with a look of loyalty, bravery and majesty on his face.
"...I kindly ask you to accompany me, and I hope your majesty will give me permission!" After someone started, who among the others would let go of such an opportunity, and fell to the ground one after another, pleading loudly.
"I know your thoughts very well, but the important matter here in Waqi has not been settled yet, so someone must stay." Zhu Qizhen glanced at the people in Zhu and called several people's names.
Among them, Jiang Fu is also included.
Zhu Qizhen's eyes fell on these people, and he said solemnly: "You stay here and continue to deal with the follow-up matters. You must not ignore it. I don't want to calm down the grassland, and in the blink of an eye, it will rise again."
War ends."
"My decision has been made, and you don't need to say anything more. Also, each town's commander-in-chief will take two thousand elite soldiers and horses from his town to accompany me to the capital. As for the remaining soldiers and horses, you can arrange your own manpower to lead them.
Do you understand everything?"
"I obey the order!" Everyone in the hall bowed down and respectfully accepted the order.
Zhu Qizhen nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "By the way, there are also soldiers and horses dispatched by the grassland tribes. I have to bring some with me, otherwise, I will be living up to the painstaking efforts of the tribes."
After everyone dispersed, Jiang Fu was left behind by Zhu Qizhen. Zhu Qizhen looked at Jiang Fu with a trace of anger on his face and couldn't help but smile and said warmly: "Jiang Aiqing, I kept you here because
You are the old man who has been with me the longest among the generals of the towns, and you know my thoughts best. As for Sun Zhirui, why don't I keep him? That's because our entire road is the defense zone of Jizhou Town.
, only with him here can my journey be smooth and smooth."
When he heard that Zhu Qizhen had left him behind and patiently explained to him the reason why he had left him on the grassland, Jiang Fu was very moved and quickly bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty.
If you can entrust this important task to me, even if I am not very talented, I will definitely be conscientious and dedicated..."
Seeing Jiang Fu prostrating himself on the ground, expressing his loyalty frequently, Zhu Qizhen just smiled faintly and did not speak. However, the sharp light in his sharp eyes made Jiang Fu's voice gradually become quieter and quieter.
He was silent at last, and he only dared to look three feet in front of him, not daring to meet Zhu Qizhen's eyes.
Zhu Qizhen looked at Jiang Fu who was speechless. After a long while, he slowly said: "Jiang Fu, how will I treat you?"
"Your Majesty is as kind to me as a mountain, and you have forgiven me of my mistakes many times, and yet you can still be so trusting. I am really..." Jiang Fu's voice couldn't help but choked up.
Zhu Qizhen looked at this slick-headed wallflower who was swaying in the wind all day long. Although he wanted to punish him severely and vent his anger, after all, he was not a gangster who was grabbing land and occupying the streets, but a gangster.
As an emperor, people like Jiang Fu are indeed very annoying, but I can't touch him yet. At least, on the surface, he is of great use to me. In other words, he can be regarded as a person who lets the world
Use the examples people see.
"I know that you really don't have much ability, and you are not very proficient in military affairs. To be able to take over the position of Old Governor Yang and become the commander-in-chief of the border town of Xuanfu, it depends more on means.
,Is it right?"
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
"...Your Majesty will investigate clearly." Jiang Fu buried his head deeply, and he couldn't help but regret in his heart why he didn't act more decisively that day and just let people kill the envoy sent by Zhu Qiyu. Then everything would be fine.
?
"I won't say much anymore. You must know very well that I have always had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges." Zhu Qizhen looked at Jiang Fu's buried head, tapped the table top with his fingers, and made a dull sound.
The sound and dull atmosphere made the hall seem very depressing, but in just a few dozen breaths, the sweat on Jiang Fu's forehead had already dripped onto the floor.
Zhu Qizhen saw this scene and finally spoke again, his voice full of oppressive majesty. "I have given you many opportunities, but there is one sentence that you should understand.
It only happens three times. This time is also the last time. I don’t want to hear any unpleasant news about what happened here after I leave. Do you know that? "
"We are obeying the decree. Your Majesty, please rest assured. We will never dare to have any objections. We are willing to die for Your Majesty to show our will." Jiang Fu knocked his forehead hard on the floor.
"Whether you can do it or not, I will only watch. I hope Jiang Qing can you take care of yourself." Zhu Qizhen stood up slowly, patted Jiang Fu on the shoulder, and left these words in his ear.
After that, he left the room. For a long time, after the sound of Zhu Qizhen's footsteps had disappeared, Jiang Fu finally changed from a kneeling position to a sitting position with difficulty, and the clothes and armor on his body were all covered in sweat.
soaked.
In the afternoon of that day, Zhu Qizhen wore the bright yellow armor and ordered the general soldiers on all sides to each receive two thousand elite cavalry. In addition to the two thousand prairie cavalry, there were also the three thousand personal troops and two thousand Xuanfu elite cavalry stationed around him.
, a total of more than 18,000 horsemen, escorted the captured prairie nobles, heading south with lightning speed.
With Sun Zhirui, the commander-in-chief of Jizhou Town, as the vanguard, the road was smooth and unhindered. One day and one night, Zhu Qi Town had reached Shunyi, the headquarters of Zuotun Guards in Yingzhou, which was less than a hundred miles away from the capital.
The army did not go straight into Shunyi City, but camped and rested outside Shunyi City. A day and night of hard work made Zhu Qizhen feel a little tired. However, Zhu Qizhen could not rest peacefully.
With a gloomy face, he sat in the makeshift tent and listened to the reports from his subordinates. He never thought that, as they were already close to the capital, only a hundred miles away, something outstanding would appear at such a time.
How could he not be upset because of the unexpected incident?
"What on earth is going on? I drove fast all the way, working hard without stopping. Ordinarily, even if someone wanted to leak the news, they couldn't do it so fast." Zhu Qizhen slammed the helmet on
On the desk, there was a hint of uncontrollable anger in his voice.
"Reporting to your Majesty, according to the intelligence, starting from yesterday evening, the troops from the capital camp began to enter the city to guard the city. Each gate was heavily guarded, and each gate still had eunuchs to supervise the generals guarding the city. Such a move is clearly
It's just for us." Wei Mingtong couldn't help but look at the two pieces of intelligence he had just received with a look of sadness on his face.
Because Zhu Qizhen had already left the full camp and was rushing towards the capital at high speed. The hidden lines and stakes that Zhu Qizhen had laid out in advance did not know that Zhu Qizhen would stop there, so he simply sent the capital to the capital.
The pro-soldiers outside disguised as craftsmen and bodyguards headed north quickly, making sure to intercept Zhu Qizhen and deliver the sudden changes in the capital to Zhu Qizhen's hands.
"Your Majesty, how about summoning General Jiang Fujiang?" Shi Heng tightened his hand holding the sword at his waist, took a deep breath, and spoke to Zhu Qizhen. These words changed the atmosphere in the camp.
There was a sudden pause, and some people even seemed to smell a tragic smell of blood.
Zhu Qizhen raised his eyebrows, took a deep breath, and listened to the noisy voices outside the tent. At this moment, the soldiers were preparing pots for cooking. The aroma of the food passed through the tent and came in.
In the tent, the soldiers' relaxed conversations or laughter also penetrated into the tent from time to time.
These soldiers are my capital. If I want to rely on them to take down the heavily guarded capital, it is simply a dream. What's more, what I need is not bloodshed, or in other words, the way I want, it is best not to have bloodshed.
Sacrifice, it is best not to let these brave Ming soldiers kill each other.
"No, you can't do that. Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty should not kill each other." Zhu Qizhen stood up, glanced at the generals in the tent, and then said solemnly. "I don't want this to happen.
, stained with painful blood.”
"But, in this case, how can we go straight to the capital?" Sun Zhirui said with some annoyance.
Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were stern and decisive: "I will go straight into the capital openly and honestly. I want to see who dares to stop me!"
