Chapter 619 How to explain to the emperor [1 more]
The deep love between the Emperor and Chu Yi was known to everyone in the court, but if anything happened to Chu Yi, the Emperor would definitely ask them questions.
Here, Jiao Yuan, Lin Pingzhi and others had already put aside the matter of sailing to the West, and focused all their attention on finding Chu Yi's whereabouts.
However, no matter how much effort and energy they spent, and even forced the Ximan Kingdom to send foreign fishermen to drive fishing boats across the vast seas to search, even if they dug three feet into the ground, Chu Yi was nowhere to be found.
It has been almost a year since Chu Yi left the capital, but the situation in the capital is quite stable.
Not long ago, Wang Shouren, who personally led the army to suppress the turmoil outside the Pass, still returned to Beijing. The chaos outside the Pass was caused by the unclear employment of the former Chief Superintendent of Rites, Gu Dayong. In addition, the Jurchen tribe took the opportunity to cause chaos, so the chaos outside the Pass was
It was a mess.
When the imperial army marched to the area outside the pass, Wang Shouren directly issued a sign of surrender. In just half a month, more than a dozen rebel armies came to surrender.
After quelling the civil unrest caused by the people leaving the customs, Wang Shouren did not even report it to the Emperor of Heaven. He directly used the power given to him by the Emperor to kill first and report later. In front of the surrendered people, Wang Shouren executed the officials who were exploiting the people and the guardsmen on the spot.
kill.
The people are so simple and honest, but as long as they can still survive, no one will take the risk to rise up and force these people to rebel. This shows how greedy these officials sent by Gu Dayong are.
Wang Shouren came up and killed these officials, which can be said to have won the hearts of the people.
The rebellion among the people was easily put down, and Wang Shouren organized his troops and focused his attention on the Jurchen tribe.
The Jurchen tribe is divided into several tribes, each with its own leader. The Jianzhou Sanwei is one of the representatives. This turmoil was caused by the Jianzhou Sanwei inciting some wild Jurchens in the mountains and forests to attack the border towns of the Ming Dynasty, causing great turmoil.
.
After Wang Shouren surrendered the rebel troops outside the Pass, he did not rush to take action against the three guards of Jianzhou. Instead, he issued a banner to surrender.
As the leader of the Three Guards of Jianzhou, I was not surprised that Wang Shouren made such a decision, but rather took it for granted.
Since the establishment of the Jianzhou Three Guards, they have surrendered and rebelled, rebelled and surrendered again, rebelled frequently like this, and then been recruited and surrendered by the imperial court, they have done it not once or twice, so these leaders of the Jurchen tribe have no
Keep Wang Shouren in mind.
Even though Wang Shouren's name in the Ming Dynasty is very famous, after all, he put down Prince Ning's rebellion, swept across the Jiangnan area by one man, and quelled the rebellion of Prince Ning that swept half of Jiangnan. Wang Shouren's name can be said to be famous all over the world.
Praised by the world.
However, the Jurchen tribe did not think that Wang Shouren was so powerful. In addition, Wang Shouren did not take any action against them after he led the army out of seclusion. This made the leaders of the Jurchen tribe gradually relax their vigilance, secretly guessing what Wang Shouren meant.
.
At this time, Wang Shouren sent an envoy to recruit them. As usual, these Jurchen leaders asked the court to pardon their crimes, and then granted them various positions.
Although the envoys sent by Wang Shouren did not fully agree to these people's requests, they did agree to seven or eighty-eight, which made all the leaders smile happily, saying that they were lucky to follow them in raising troops, otherwise how could the Ming Dynasty have seen them?
for their awesomeness, and then rewarded them.
Half a year passed in a flash. Because of the support of the emperor and the fact that Yang Yiqing in the cabinet was a man who knew the military, the imperial court fully supported some of Wang Shouren's plans. Therefore, even after Wang Shouren led the army out of the border for nearly half a year, it was not completely pacified.
During the chaos outside the Pass, the impeachment of some officials in the imperial court was suppressed by Yang Yiqing and the emperor.
On this day, there was a sensation outside the customs.
The envoy sent by Wang Shouren handed down the imperial conferment, and the news came out that a group of leaders were needed to come to receive the order and receive the conferment.
Under Wang Shouren's deliberate win over, the leaders who were busy enjoying the food and even property sent by Wang Shouren naturally did not think much about it. When they received the news, they put down everything in their hands and immediately
Lead the warriors from the tribe here.
Because the distances between the tribes of the leaders were different, it took three days for the tribal leaders from all over the place to arrive.
The place Wang Shouren chose was a guard station outside the pass. The guard station was not big, and there were no large troops stationed around it. There was only one guard with thousands of soldiers and horses.
When these Jurchen tribe leaders saw that Wang Shouren had chosen such a guardhouse, their doubts were completely dispelled.
With so many of them united, the total number of troops they brought would be almost a thousand. If Wang Shouren wanted to go against them, maybe their thousands of troops would not be their opponents, but if they wanted to protect themselves, it would not be a problem.
.
In a large tent, more than a dozen tribal leaders were changing cups and drinking happily, their faces full of joy.
The commanders of the Three Guards of Jianzhou are definitely the three most powerful among the dozen tribal leaders. The three of them are officials of the imperial court. It is said that they don't care much about the rewards from the imperial court.
However, this time, among the news they received, it was said that the emperor wanted to make them princes. How could this not make the commander of the three guards of Jianzhou excited?
Therefore, the commander of the Three Guards of Jianzhou rushed over with his trusted men and horses. Now sitting in the big tent, he naturally became the center of more than a dozen tribal leaders.
Wu Litu, as the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard, was dressed in the armor of a Ming Dynasty general. The armor worn on his body did not look heroic at all, but gave people a sense of barbarism.
Sitting there, Wu Litu was thinking about the news he had received not long ago. According to the news he had received, the Emperor of Heaven was planning to make him the Marquis of Liaodong and the head of the commander of the Three Guards of Jianzhou. For Wu Litu,
, it can be said that it has great appeal.
The commander of the Jianzhou Three Guards divided the Jurchen tribe into three tribes. On weekdays, the Jianzhou Three Guards also fought openly and secretly among themselves. Everyone wanted to be the leader of the Jurchens. However, under the suppression and planning of the Ming Dynasty, the Jianzhou Three Guards were suppressed and planned.
It is difficult to distinguish between strong and weak, so the so-called Jurchen Lord is unlikely to appear.
However, this time, Wu Litu felt that he could use the imperial court to award him a reward, and then lead the way to unify the Jurchen tribe and become the master outside the pass.
Several tribal leaders gathered around Wulitu and flattered Wulitu one by one. Under the flattery of these tribal leaders, Wulitu couldn't help but feel a little elated.
Outside the big tent, Wang Shouren, dressed in military uniform, strode over, escorted by several personal guards. When Wang Shouren arrived in front of the big tent, the messenger shouted in a deep voice: "The commander-in-chief is here."
The curtain was lifted, and Wang Shouren was seen striding into the handsome tent. At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Wang Shouren.
Wang Shouren glanced at the crowd lightly, strode forward, then turned and sat down, while a dozen personal guards stood aside.
Among them, except for the commander of the Three Guards of Jianzhou who had met Wang Shouren, the other tribal leaders had never met Wang Shouren at all.
When they saw that Wang Shouren turned out to be a scholar, many tribal leaders had a look of disdain in their eyes. Obviously, Wang Shouren's elegant aura made these tribal leaders subconsciously look down upon him.
Everyone bowed to Wang Shouren, and Wu Litu was the first to say to Wang Shouren, "Master Wang, I don't know why you are calling us here."
Because they had already found out that the imperial court wanted to reward them, even if Wang Shouren didn't say anything, Wu Litu couldn't wait any longer and looked at Chu Yi with some expectation.
Wang Shouren smiled slightly, glanced at the crowd, and then cupped his hands in the direction of the capital and said with some solemnity: "Your Majesty has a purpose!"
While he was talking, he saw a personal guard walking forward with a decree in his hands. At that moment, almost everyone's eyes fell on the decree.
After receiving the imperial edict, Wang Shouren slowly opened it, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and said: "I am investigating the commander of the three guards in Jianzhou for not being loyal to his duties and serving the imperial court... This is a special order, but there is a rebellion.
Those who do this will be killed without mercy, and the three tribes will be wiped out. This will spread throughout the world and serve as a warning to others..."
"What...this...this is impossible..."
"Hahaha, the emperor must be crazy tomorrow!"
"It's fake. This must be a fake imperial edict. Wang Shouren, you dare to falsely preach the imperial edict. Do you know your guilt?"
Before he finished speaking, all the Jurchen leaders in the big tent smashed the table in front of him with their palms, and stared at Wang Shouren with wide eyes.
Wu Li suddenly stood up, pointed at Wang Shouren and shouted: "Wang Shouren, you are unfaithful and dare to lie to us!"
It could be seen that Wu Litu was very angry. He did not expect that Wang Shouren would deceive them. The Emperor of Heaven had no intention of letting them go. If he had known this earlier, he would not have spent so much effort even if he killed them.
, we traveled day and night to get here.
However, they came here for the reward from the imperial court, but the imperial edict they received turned out to be bad news.
Standing there, unfolding the imperial edict with both hands, looking at the reaction of the Jurchen leaders below, a somewhat disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth and said: "If it weren't for the purpose of inviting you one by one out of the mountains and forests, what would I do?
As for it taking so long to make excuses with you."
As he spoke, Wang Shouren held the imperial decree in one hand and stared at the Jurchen leaders with a solemn look on his face: "Your Majesty's decree has been issued, and you will be captured as soon as possible!"
Upon seeing this, the other two commanders of the Jianzhou Three Guards suddenly stood up, a flash of light flashed from their scimitars at their waists, and the next moment they unsheathed themselves and rushed towards Wang Shouren.
