Reincarnation of the powerful minister

The astronomical phenomenon of "guest star invading the emperor" spread up and down the court and the public. The next day, not only the military situation at the border was in a hurry, but also an urgent report came from the area near Beijing, saying that tens of thousands of vanguards from the Wang's rebellious army had arrived in Ba County, but they did not know who led them. Whether it is Wang Wu and Wang Chen or not, it is difficult to speculate on the subsequent marching route.

Whether it is going north by land or by water on the Lugou River, it is the momentum of soldiers attacking Gyeonggi directly, causing some people in the capital to panic.

At the request of Qin Tianjian, the emperor burned incense and fasted for three days. Hearing the news, he summoned Yang Ting, Yu Chezhi, and Su Yan to the fasting palace to discuss countermeasures.

In Yu Chezhi's hands, Qi Jingtang just sent the information, saying that one of the leaders of the vanguard of the rebellious army was surnamed Yang and the other was surnamed Qi, and they were both confidants of the Wang brothers.He had intercepted this army near Wen'an in Hejian Mansion, and severely wounded the general surnamed Qi with a newly-made firecracker made by Tiangongyuan.

Su Yan felt that these two surnames sounded familiar. After thinking for a moment, he stroked his palms and said, "I remembered, Yang Hui and Qi Meng! The city of Yan'an in Yan'an, he insisted on the way of porridge... No, he robbed people under the eyes of Zhou Zhifu.

"The other Yang Hui was already the third head of the bandit village when Wang Wu Wang Liu was still a robber. This person is cautious and is often responsible for supporting outsiders."

The others didn't expect him to be so familiar with the Wang family, and they all showed strange expressions.Yu Chezhi, who has a strong temperament, joked directly: "I said, Mr. Su, you are so familiar with the inside story, but you have set up eyes and ears around Mrs. Wang? Or have you instigated these two brothers? Then you should say it earlier, so as not to save us If you still have a headache, how can you ask the thieves to calm down the chaos."

Su Yan sneered: "Your Excellency was joking. I just had a relationship with these two thieves when I was the governor and censor in Shaanxi, and I almost recruited them. It's a pity, people are not as good as God, In the end, they came to the road of no return by raising the flag and rebelling."

Speaking of pulling the flag, he suddenly thought that the banner of Wang's team had changed this time. It used to be "Reopening Chaos, Acting for Heaven".Now the banner has changed to "Li Dynasty Fuxian", that is to say, the Wang family announced that they do not intend to overthrow Daming, but want to support the virtuous monarch and kick Zhu Helin off the dragon chair?

He looked at Zhu Helin standing by the window—the young emperor wore a solid green robe because of fasting, and his belt was also a dark blue black horn belt, which looked more mature and serious than when he usually wore red.

Zhu Helin was very keen, and immediately turned his head to look over, meeting his gaze.

The fiery emotions hidden in the eyes of the emperor were much more restrained than when he was a teenager, but they were also more steadfast.Su Yan inexplicably felt a little hot in his ears, turned his face away calmly, and continued: "'Li Dynasty Fuxian', which virtuous do you want to support? The pair of ambitious thieves who have been in trouble for several years are not making wedding dresses for others. I remember that there was a military adviser named Shi Sui in Wang's army, who had a lot to do with the Vacuum Sect. From this point of view, Mr. Crane's black hand is behind this new banner, and the Vacuum Sect's resurgence, how can there be no players? Full support?"

At this moment, Yu Chezhi also admired him for having just returned to the capital from the frontier fortress, and he had a clear understanding of the intertwined forces behind the turmoil in the Central Plains. He nodded and said: "It is indeed as Master Su said, that military advisor Shi Sui is the head of the Vacuum Sect. The Wang brothers' army has been increasing in number in recent years, and he is good at inciting people's hearts and attracting believers. "

Su Yan said: "The rebellious army approaching Gyeonggi this time is just a vanguard. General Qi has already severely injured Qi Meng. We must take down Yang Hui as soon as possible to prevent him from joining the main force."

Zhu Helin finally made a decision: "Send out the three major battalions of the Beijing Army, go down along the Lugou River, and defeat the vanguard of the rebellion army. We can't let them step into the capital!"

The elite frontier troops from Datong, Xuanfu and Liaodong that Yu Chezhi was ordered to mobilize had not yet arrived in the capital.But fortunately, the three major battalions stationed in Beijing can have about 8 people, and it is enough to go to Bazhou in Beizhili to wipe out a Yang Hui.

Yang Ting was worried that most of the capital's defense would be weakened, Zhu Helin said: "There are five city soldiers and horses, and I also have Tengxiang, Jinwu, Habayashi and other pro-military guards, which are enough to guard the capital."

Yang Ting, who is gentle by nature, was still worried, Su Yan smiled at him and said, "You have to believe our sage, his golden imperial chariot is worth thousands of troops, right, uncle?"

One sentence ridiculed two people, one of whom was still the emperor.Yang Ting was startled, and went to take a peek at Longyan. Seeing that the emperor was not in trouble, he regained his composure. He shook his head at Su Yan and said, "Be careful in your words and deeds, Mr. Su, you must not be rude."

Su Yan thought, "It's not just rude, I've beaten Xiao Zhu's face with bruises and nosebleeds, and I haven't seen him do anything to me.Of course he also fought back, but every time he released water, even if he was angry, he would not be angry overnight... Sigh, I really feel sorry for Xiao Zhu. Looking back, I really have nothing to say about him since I was a child, except I always want to sleep besides me... I don't know if his obstacle has been completely eliminated, and can he pass on the family line?Did you eat the three bottles of Rejuvenation Pill that were stolen from me indiscriminately?Well, do I have to take care of him when I have some free time...

Su Yan couldn't help thinking about it, and even the emperor coughed a few times, but he didn't call back his wandering soul.In the end, Yu Chezhi couldn't stand it anymore and slapped him on the shoulder to wake him up.

The emperor asked him with concern why he was in a trance and whether he was feeling unwell. Su Ge tried his best to kick out the scene of red gauze clothes and golden bells that lingered in his mind. Say goodbye together.

As a result, Yang Ting and Yu Chezhi retreated, Su Yan hesitated before leaving the hall, and couldn't help asking: "Then Huichun Dan, you didn't eat it indiscriminately, did you? You really can't eat more."

Zhu Helin was slightly startled and then laughed: "Does Qinghe care about me, or about yourself?"

"... myself?" Su Yan was a little confused.

Zhu Helin approached, hugged his waist, and put a stick in front of himself: "Feel it? Don't worry, I'm still very young, and I'm far from the age where I need to rely on foreign objects to grow up. If you follow me, I won't let you down." You are at a disadvantage."

Su Yan's face turned red suddenly, and he struggled to lower his voice: "What kind of loss is it? Don't you suffer! Nonsense, you don't want the face of the king?"

Zhu Helin asked back: "The golden spear is idle, and the sword hangs in the air for a long time. The lining is not full, so what's the use of face?"

Su Yan couldn't help laughing in embarrassment, and blurted out: "The one that doesn't fall is called a golden gun, but yours can only be called—" He abruptly closed his mouth, swallowed the "quick gun", and hiccupped.

"——What's your name?!" Zhu Helin asked with a sullen face.

Su Yan hiccupped and said, "Fire, musket..."

The musket fires fast and reloads quickly when changing bullets.Zhu Helin's cheek muscles twitched slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you just like to play with firearms? Why, you can spend all day improving guns in the engineering school, so why don't you allow me to improve?"

Su Yan's back was pressed on the golden pillar of the main hall, and he was forced to test the improvement effect. He found that the opponent's musket seemed to have been updated after not seeing it for a long time. No bullets are fired.

His wrist was so sore, he panted and said: "Okay, okay, the golden gun is the golden gun, I'm just joking, you just hold grudges like this... Be careful."

Zhu Helin blushed and stared at him with sweat dripping from his forehead: "Is this a question of whether to make fun of it, ah? It's about a man's dignity!"

Su Yan skillfully pinched the barrel of the gun, and his fingertips almost sank into the muzzle of the gun. Finally, he completed the final inspection procedure of rate of fire, ballistic and ammunition capacity.Panting hurriedly, Zhu Helin leaned forward, his whole weight was hanging on him, Su Yan's back was against the pillar and he couldn't dodge, so he stretched out his arms to hug him.

After a while, the panting stopped, and Zhu Helin accused him aggrievedly in a slightly hoarse voice: "You are cheating!"

Su Yan suspected that he had really eaten the Rejuvenation Pill, and snorted: "You use cheats!"

I don't understand the meaning of the word "cheat", but this does not affect Zhu Helin's grievance on the surface, but in fact he is secretly happy, thinking that let him go half a horse this time, and let him check the gun with his hands, and then feed him a tonic pill. It has to be used up and down.

Su Yan came out of the palace half an hour later than the other cabinet ministers, and when he was blown by the cold wind in early spring, he suddenly came to his senses: Damn, why didn't I just push him away and beat him hard?Really tested the gun honestly!

After thinking about it, it can only be attributed to the fact that this kid is more and more majestic as the emperor, and he is suppressed in terms of momentum.Thinking about it again, I felt that it had nothing to do with majesty, and I just couldn't see the frustration and loss gradually showing in the wet and wronged eyes of the other party.

Su Yan sighed with complicated emotions, and murmured: "The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest, alas!"

The emperor kept the meat precepts in the fasting palace, but broke half of the sex precepts, so he became more appreciative and wanted to strike while the iron was hot to break the remaining half.

And Mr. Su, who was annoyed that he had done something wrong again, began to hide from the emperor these days, and discussed matters with other courtiers, trying to avoid going public in private.

Zhu Helin intends to give him nourishment, but it seems that the time is not right now.The three major battalions of the Beijing Army dispatched fought several battles with the forwards of the rebel army led by Yang Huisuo near Gu'an in Beizhili. They basically won all of them, but they did not kill or capture Yang Hui.

Yang Hui also adhered to the consistent cautious and sophisticated style, never loved to fight, retreated when he was defeated, retreated when he retreated, and then went back, fighting guerrilla in the corner area between Shandong, Henan and North Zhili.

"He is here to test the deployment of troops in Gyeonggi and find a breakthrough." Su Yan said while studying the opponent's marching route map, "At the same time, he is also waiting for Wang Wu Wang Liu to get rid of Qi Jingtang's siege and come to join him. Then use the strength of the whole army to tear through the Gyeonggi defense line and rush directly to the city."

"If you want to catch swimming fish, you have to weave a big net." Yu Chezhi suggested, "We have to send more troops to cover all sides, and destroy the vanguard of the rebel army before the main force arrives."

"The three major battalions have all been mobilized, and the elite cavalry from the frontier army have not yet arrived in the capital. If we send more troops, we can only use the top guards." Yang Ting shook his head, "I still feel that it is too risky for the capital to weaken its defense again and again."

However, Zhu Helin said without hesitation: "If the capital falls, how long can the walls of the capital last even if it is impregnable? Send out my four guards."

So the [-] Tengxiang Guards left the capital under the leadership of the commander Longquan, went south and went straight to the area near the capital, and joined forces with the three major battalions to form a siege, trapping the forward of the rebel army.After several fierce battles, the vanguard of the rebel army was defeated, and Yang Hui was captured, ready to be taken to the capital for trial.

Just when the officials and people in Gyeonggi breathed a sigh of relief, a team carrying the "Xian" flag appeared silently in Baoding Prefecture, approaching Gyeonggi from the West Road.At the same time, a call to "challenge the false emperor" spread throughout Beizhili and surrounding areas.

The proclamation was written in the tone of the orphan of the eldest son of Emperor Xianzu (that is, the king of Xin who had been subdued), and the words were extremely sharp and sharp, exposing the fact that the former emperor Jinglong and the current Emperor Qinghe were not of the blood of the ancestors, and that they murdered the emperor's heir in order to steal the throne He proposed to rehabilitate and restore his identity to King Xin who died for conspiring against him.At the same time, he called on the clan and all benevolent and righteous teachers to join hands with him to overthrow the rule of the false emperor and welcome Zhengshuo back to the court.

The signature of the call to arms is Zhu Xian, orphan of King Xin, son of Prince Ning.

The first to respond to this appeal was the "rebel army" of the Wang brothers, who claimed that Zhu Xian, the son of the king, was the "virtuous" they wanted to support. The true descendants of Emperor Ming Taizu and Emperor Xianzu.

Immediately afterwards, King Ning issued a statement to the effect that although Zhu Xian was adopted by him as his adopted son and assumed the title of Prince Ning's son, but he was seriously ill, and he neither knew nor supported what he did.The matter of appeal has nothing to do with him, and I implore the court to forgive him for his negligence because he is a clan and his life is not long.

This paper declares full of desire for survival and self-preservation, only saying that he was seriously ill and didn't know about it, and didn't mention whether the son Zhu Xian was right or wrong, and how to deal with it.

As if a door to the chaotic situation had been opened, the vassal kings moved upon hearing the sound. King Wei, King Gu, and King Hun... all wrote letters to the imperial court, requesting to enter Beijing "on the side of the Qing emperor".

This side of the Qing emperor has a very subtle meaning.Literally, it means "eradicating the villains around the monarch and helping the monarch", as if to help their nephew Zhu Helin kill the traitor so that he can continue to sit firmly on the throne.

However, since ancient times, all those military operations in the name of "judgment of XX, the side of the Qing emperor" have all evolved into rebellions to become kings.

Over time, "Qing Jun's side" became synonymous with forcing the palace, but it was just a fig leaf used by careerists to whitewash themselves and cover up their plots.

This is a collective coercion by the vassals.Except for King Ning who was seriously ill, King Liao who was given to death not long ago, and King Yu who returned to the frontier, all other sons of Emperor Xianzu—

Those princes who once guarded the nine borders and held military power, but were cut down one by one by Emperor Jinglong, finally, after the death of Emperor Jinglong whom they feared, and under the situation that the young Emperor Qinghe was facing internal and external troubles, the orphans of Xinwang After opening the Tianhuang Jade Document, they ushered in their opportunity for a fierce counterattack.

Zhu Helin looked at the petitions of these uncles who had fallen into trouble from the "Qing Emperor's side", full of righteousness and awe-inspiring, for the country and the people, and even expressed great care and loyalty to him, and kept saying that he wanted to go to Beijing to eradicate rape, share the worries of the emperor, and hold his trustworthy hands Trembling involuntarily.

Fu Bao thought the emperor was shaking with anger, fearing that the anger would hurt his body, he hurried over to persuade him.When I got close, I saw that the emperor was not furious, but laughing silently.

Laughing with ridicule and disdain all over his face, laughing until his hands trembled.

Perhaps the crisis of the capital should not be on Wang Wu and Wang Chen, but on something else.Su Yan's conjecture is still in my ears, every word is clear.

"Come on...all come." Zhu Helin said, threw these petitions to the ground, got up from the dragon chair, and asked the world across the empty hall, "——Who else?"
