Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

When Zhu Youxiao arrives in Shenyang, he can jump Zhou Yongchun down.Knowing that the emperor still left a 1000-strong imperial army in Fushun, he secretly complained that Xiong Tingbi was unreliable in his work, how dare the emperor bring a thousand-strong imperial army back to Beijing, which is more than 1000 miles away.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care much about what Zhou Yongchun thought, but only encouraged Zhou Yongchun to continue to focus on settling the people's livelihood, and then went to rest early.

In the early morning of the second day, not only Zhu Youxiao, but also all the guards of the imperial army were mostly relieved.Zhou Yongchun looked at these young people who were alive and well, and couldn't help but enviously said: "It's nice to be young!"

Hearing Zhou Yongchun's emotion, Zhu Youxiao comforted him and said, "Zhou Qing is in his prime, and I still need people like you to seek the country."

Zhou Yongchun's mood was agitated, and he bowed again to salute.

"I will do my best to fulfill your majesty's expectations for Liaodong. I wish your majesty a safe journey and arrive at the capital as soon as possible."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and surrounded by the guards of the imperial guards, he rode his horse south to Liaoyang City.

Zhang Quan of Liaoyang City was also shocked by the simple entourage of the emperor.As a censor, he had to speak to persuade the emperor.

"Your Majesty's behavior is against etiquette. The most important thing is that it's not safe. Your Majesty might as well stay in Liaoyang temporarily, and wait for the ministers to see how many of the forbidden soldiers recovering in Liaoyang can escort your majesty back to Beijing. It's still not right. I want to pay you eight hundred dollars." Riga is in a hurry, let the British government send imperial troops to meet His Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao quickly stopped Zhang Quan.

"Zhang Qing is over-concerned. I travel lightly and easily, and can travel hundreds of miles a day. Even if someone knows my itinerary, it is too late to make arrangements. If the British government in Liaoyang sent ten thousand imperial troops to welcome them, maybe the Tatars would know Now that I am in Liaoyang, it is not safe to return."

Zhang Quan rubbed his hands anxiously, "Your Majesty, I want to impeach the commander-in-chief of the conscripts. In order to have more soldiers, they put Your Majesty at risk. They must not lightly spare these people who only want to make meritorious deeds. "

Zhu Youxiao has convinced the people like Yushitai, all of them have super brains and rich associations.Why not say that those people are suspected of murdering the emperor.

"How many people to bring is determined by me, can they still resist the order?"

When I said this, I saw Zhang Quan poking his neck in disbelief, pretending to make a long speech, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly added.

"I will leave Liaoyang early tomorrow without stopping in between, and I can enter Shanhaiguan tomorrow night. Then I will transfer some soldiers to Shanhaiguan and increase the guards who will accompany me to Beijing. Zhang Qing, is this all right?"

"The minister escorted the emperor back to Beijing."

Zhu Youxiao supported his forehead, looked Zhang Quan up and down, and said with a little regret: "It's not that Zhang Qing doesn't need you, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up with the speed of the imperial army."

Zhang Quan was immediately unhappy, "Your Majesty, I can still draw a bow and shoot arrows, and gallop a horse. Even if I can't be an urgent messenger for eight hundred miles, I can still run down four hundred miles."

Seeing that Zhang Quan was serious, Zhu Youxiao quickly calmed down and said: "Zhang Qing, you see that many of the guards accompanying me can be urgent messengers for [-] miles, but you are the most suitable for the imperial censor in Liaodong. It is my duty to put the right person in a position where he can give full play to his talents, otherwise I will be a foolish king and I will be ashamed of the people."

Zhang Quan's face softened slightly.

"And Zhang Qing, I didn't bring more imperial guards back to Beijing as guards, because the newly dispersed Jiannu need to follow up and strike while the iron is hot, and we can't give them any chance to form a group again."

Zhang Quan believed this.Nu/Erhaci's sons who are not very powerful in their hands will suddenly be assigned the power of more than [-] people, so they will not easily belong to a certain person.

"Your Majesty, even if our Imperial Guards don't pursue them, after the Jurchens split up, it's impossible for them to gather in a short time. At least they won't cause trouble for Daming within ten years."

Zhu Youxiao sighed, "Zhang Qing, if our Ming soldiers chase after us closely, those bannermen who don't have enough horses will be abandoned. If you kill one more slave, your strength will be reduced by one point. There are also those who were taken captive. The Han people on horseback were pursued closely by Ming soldiers, and Jiannu had to abandon them in order to escape for his life. Even if I wanted to save a little more people in Liaodong."

In order to save a little more people in Liaodong, Zhang Quan was immediately persuaded.

Zhang Quan bowed his head to express his approval of the emperor's approach. Just when Zhu Youxiao was about to speak again, Zhang Quanfu raised his head and said: "Your Majesty sacrificed his own safety for the sake of the people. I am very moved. But I beg your majesty to put the country and the community as the most important thing in the future." , The most important thing is to take care of yourself so that we can better benefit the people.”

Zhu Youxiao quickly responded.

"What Zhang Qing said is true. Liaodong still needs to rely on the forbidden army and other military generals to conquer Jiannu, so Zhang Qing should not go to impeachment, okay? To prevent those people in the court who make troubles from nothing, taking the opportunity to get involved in Xiong Feibai's head, and increase Liaodong out of thin air. my troubles, and my troubles."

The emperor's attitude was so low, Zhang Quan was too embarrassed to hold his neck anymore, so he nodded and agreed not to impeach the general who followed him.

The monarchs and ministers talked a lot about spring plowing and comforting the people.Zhang Quan accompanied the emperor to the wounded barracks again to visit the soldiers of the imperial army who were seriously injured in the confrontation with the Jiannu cavalry between Liao and Shen.

Zhang Quan managed the wounded barracks very well, almost 100% prepared according to the requirements sent by the emperor.The kangs in each room are burning hot, and the ground is clean.It was the defenders of Liaoyang City who started to take care of these wounded soldiers. Recently, some of them have recovered, and they are taking care of those who are recovering.

The emperor was able to think of them when he returned to the south, and was able to visit them, so that some injured people who were still unable to move lay on the kang and cried with excitement.

Zhu Youxiao comforted these people slowly.

"You were all injured for the court and the common people. Feel free to recuperate here. Zhang Yushi will not treat you badly. If you are no longer able to serve in the army after you are well educated, the imperial court will ask the Ministry of War to provide compensation in time. If someone dares to deduct your pension , Go ahead and beat the Dengwen drum. I will explain to officials at all levels and Habayashi Wei, because those who don’t get enough compensation to beat the Dengwen drum, don’t allow any obstructions such as hitting boards or rolling nail boards.”

Zhang Quan indicated that the following documents should immediately write down the emperor's instruction, which will be sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate as a new indicator for evaluating officials from various places.

It is too common for soldiers to be deducted from food, pay, and even pensions.With such a promise from the Son of Heaven, the Shan Huo Long Live resounded through the wounded barracks.

After leaving the wounded barracks, Zhu Youxiao said to Zhang Quan: "The soldiers' food and pensions and disability pensions should be given to the soldiers. I just gave them an extra channel for appealing what they deserved. I am so ashamed that these soldiers who worked their lives for the imperial court are so moved."

Zhang Quan is also going to shout Long Live at this time, "Your Majesty's sage is a blessing to the people."

"Zhang Qing, you should pay close attention to the compensation for the wounded soldiers in Liaodong. Whoever dares to stretch out his hand, I will chop off his paws and head."

"The humble minister obeys the order and will definitely live up to His Majesty's entrustment."

After seeing the wounded barracks, Zhu Youxiao rested in the barracks all night.The next day, after having breakfast early, Zhang Quan was sent out of the city gate, and then he galloped south with a thousand imperial troops.

Not long after leaving Shanhaiguan, Zhu Youxiao met the prison van escorting Nu/Erhachi to Beijing.He couldn't help feeling in his heart: the hero ended up like this in his twilight years because he was reluctant to part with the filial son of the ancestors of the past generations.If his father and grandparents knew what he was like today, would they rather be smashed to pieces than make him a prisoner for being a filial son and grandson?

Zhu Youxiao sent Cao Huachun to see Nu/Erhachi.Seeing that although the wooden cage prison car was simple, the two additional wooden boards to block the wind were still there, and there was also a carbon basin in the car. Nu/Erhachi was neatly dressed and wrapped in a thick cloak, so it didn't froze him much. .Sure enough, Zhou Yongchun was quite reliable in his work.

When Nu/Erhachi met Cao Huachun and knew that the Son of Heaven would return to Beijing, he clenched his fists and asked Cao Huachun, "What happened to Yongling?"

Cao Huachun immediately answered him: "The emperor has agreed to your matter, and the golden words will not be lost. The emperor also ordered Xiong Jinglue to take good care of Yongling for you."

Nu/Erhachi thanked him in a low voice, but closed his eyes and said nothing.

Cao Huachun was not worth it for the people of Liaodong in his heart. Such a murderous barbarian, who did not know how many people in Liaodong, had to agree to take care of his ancestral grave.But in this case, he was just thinking about it in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak in front of the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao and his group of thousands of people traveled and stayed overnight. Every day, they worked hard every day, and they arrived in the capital from Shenyang in a few days.They entered the capital through Deshengmen, and immediately there were soldiers from Wucheng Bingma Division beating Ma Rufei to deliver letters to the British Duke and Dingguo Duke.When Zhu Youxiao led people around Zhengyangmen, he saw many officials running out of the Qianbu corridor behind Damingmen.

Duke Ying and Duke Ding also hurriedly knelt down at the gate of Daming to pick him up.

"I welcome Your Majesty's triumphant return."

Both of them were in a stormy mood at this moment, wishing they could grab the emperor's shoulders and shake them.

——You are the emperor, there is no reason for you to wear the guard of honor of the emperor after entering Deshengmen.

The civil servant who ran out from behind was also full of anger. Zhang Wenda came to Zhu Youxiao out of breath, and opened his mouth to question: "Why didn't your majesty send someone to send the letter back to the capital first?"

Zhu Youxiao grinned, "I made a half-circle around the capital and didn't go directly to the palace from Bei'anmen. I've done a good job."

Zhang Wenda was so angry that his beard cocked up.It was Ye Xianggao who stopped the irritable Zhang Wenda.

"Your Majesty welcomes His Majesty's triumphant return. His Majesty's merits will last for thousands of years, and his achievements will last for generations. Congratulations."

Fang Congzhe held Zhang Wenda back, and saw that the officials who ran out were all saluting on both sides of the Thousand Steps Corridor.Quickly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, hurry back to the palace."

Civil and military officials surrounded the dusty emperor and escorted Zhu Youxiao back to Qianqing Palace.

After the monarchs and ministers met again, Duke Yingying and Duke Dingguo had already found out that the emperor had only brought back a thousand-strong imperial army, and their expressions were frozen. The matter of the emperor's lack of protection was revealed.
