Tumu Fort Palace.
Under the hazy moonlight, the wind and sand howled, sounding like a wolf howling.
There are continuous camps in the fort, and the smoke is still there.
But this is just an appearance. In fact, only the camp is left, and the sergeants inside have long since disappeared.
The Xinggong Palace is the main house of the small courtyard in the middle.
Ji Boying calmly looked at Zhu Qizhen who was squatting uneasily, waiting for Zhu Qizhen's answer.
"me…"
Zhu Qizhen covered his swollen head and thought for a long time.
"I feel very good…"
"Um."
Ji Boying withdrew his gaze.
This answer is a bit surprising, but also expected.
He could now make up his mind about one thing.
The abolition of the human sacrifice system, which is worthy of praise from future generations, is more than 90% likely to be done by Zhu Jianshen, in order to give some money to Baozong's father, who has lived a glorious life. Otherwise, Baozong would have nothing to say in his life.
Zhu Qizhen is pure trash from the inside out, and after studying abroad and being in seclusion in Nangong, he has turned into a black man.
"Bring that table over here."
Ji Boying pointed to a long table against the wall on the left side of the room. The three Zhu Gaochi were very active after hearing this. The three fat men quickly moved the long table to the middle of the main room and placed eight chairs.
"Brother, please."
Lao Zhu stood up first and moved the main chair away.
Ji Boying was not polite and sat down on the main seat.
Lao Zhu and Lao Zhu Di sat on the left and right beside Ji Boying. Lao Zhu Si, three Zhu Gaochi and Emperor Xuande also sat down around the table.
Ji Boying tapped the edge of the table with his fingers.
Suddenly the aroma fills the nostrils and the table is full of barbecue.
From meat skewers to oysters, from flying in the sky, crawling on the ground to swimming in the sea, crayfish of various flavors, garlic, spicy, fermented, steamed, with a roasted whole lamb in the middle.
In front of everyone, there are two bottles of sugar-free Fat House Happy Water.
"No need to be restrained, just eat whatever you want."
Ji Boying was also a little hungry. He hadn't eaten for about ten hours, and based on the time difference between Hongwu time and space, it was almost lunch time.
As soon as the words fell, the three Zhu Gaochi started to cook without any hesitation.
Emperor Xuande looked at the food he had never seen before and was silent for a moment.
He quietly picked up a few mutton skewers from the table and threw them silently to Zhu Qizhen who was squatting next to him.
Zhu Qizhen picked up the mutton skewers and took a bite. Then he looked up at Emperor Xuande and burst into tears.
So touching.
Father's love is so great!
"Brother, what do you mean by blackening just now?"
After a busy morning, Lao Zhu's mood was too high, resulting in a loss of appetite.
He casually took a bunch of squid and stuffed it into his mouth. As soon as it entered his mouth, Lao Zhu's eyes lit up and he started to feast.
When Zhu Laosi and Lao Zhu Di saw this, they both picked up a bunch and tried it. Their eyes were bright and they couldn't stop anymore.
The most evil thing is really addictive.
This is all Hex technology from the 21st century. How can it still conquer the taste buds of you people from the Ming Dynasty? !
"Before setting off for this practical observation class, I explained to you the two proper terms of Zhu Qizhen, the God of War of the Ming Dynasty and the Son of Heaven."
"Besides, there are two more that need explanation."
"The first one is an international student from Wala."
"In all the time and space after Orthodoxy, after the Tumubao Incident, Zhu Qizhen was captured by Wala and returned to the grassland. He was a prisoner in Wala camp for a year. This period was written in the history book as Yingzong's Northern Hunting, and Later generations jokingly referred to this period as His Majesty Baozong’s Studying Abroad in Wala."
In fact, there is not much to say about the foreign students in Wala. It is nothing more than a tragic story about a young man from the Ming Dynasty who was taken turns to be fucked by tough women from the grassland.
The main thing is the next one.
"Another one is the emperor who seizes the gate. This keyword corresponds to the last stop of our practical observation class, Tianshun Dynasty."
At this point in Ji Boying's words, Lao Zhu and others slowed down their skewers.
"After Baozong was captured, the country could not live without a king for a day, and Wala led his army to surround Shuntian."
"Yu Qian, the minister of the Ministry of War, put forward the slogan of 'the country is more important than the emperor', which was supported by all the ministers and the Sun family decreed that Zhu Qiyu, the king of Ta'an, ascended the throne as Emperor Jingtai, and respected Zhu Qizhen, who was studying abroad, as the Supreme Emperor. "
"The first imperial edict upon Jingtai's ascension to the throne was given to Qian, the Minister of War, commanding all the troops inside and outside the capital. From then on, the battle to defend Shuntian, which was related to the survival of the Ming Dynasty, began."
The country is the most important thing, the king is the lightest thing.
Battle of Suncheon.
When these two paragraphs came into the ears of Old Zhu Di and Zhu Laosi, they both took a deep breath.
When Zhu Di moved the capital to Beiping, he never imagined that Beiping would be besieged by foreign tribes so quickly and the country would be overthrown.
Fortunately, there was Yu Qian, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would have met the fate of the Southern Song Dynasty less than a hundred years after its founding.
"However, Emperor Jingtai only served as emperor for eight years. When he was seriously ill, the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen, who was imprisoned in Nangong, supported by Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen and other treacherous ministers, and with the support of the Empress Dowager Sun, launched a campaign to seize the door. changes."
"After successfully seizing the door, Zhu Qizhen went under the knife."
Emperor Xuande raised his head instantly, he had a bad feeling.
"Yu Qian, the Shaobao and the Crown Prince Taifu's Minister of the Ministry of War, was killed; Wang Wen, the Shaobao and the Crown Prince's Taifu and the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was killed."
"Chen Xun, the Shaobao and the Crown Prince's Taifu and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Bachelor of Huagaidian, was exiled to the army; Jiang Yuan, the Prince's Young Master and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was exiled to the army; Yu Shiyue, the Crown Prince's Taibao and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was exiled to the army; Xiang Wenyao, the left of the Ministry of Officials Minister, exiled to the army."
"Xiao Tan, the prince's young master, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, the Minister of Hubu, was exiled; Shang Ren, the left minister of the Ministry of War, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Zuo Chunfang, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, was exiled; Wang Wei, the right minister of the Ministry of War, was exiled."
As soon as these words came out, Lao Zhu was stunned, and the skewers in his hand suddenly lost their flavor.
When he went on a killing spree, he knew that the ministers and ministers of the various ministries and ministers on the left and right were not allowed to move, and he only killed ministers and below.
But this Emperor Tianshun was really awesome. Not only did all the cabinet ministers work, but only one of the six ministers, Hu Hui, the minister of rites, survived. This was due to Hu Hui's age.
During the Zhengtong Dynasty, a group of talents who had taken the empire more than ten years to cultivate died in Tumubao. As a result, they had just recovered. After restoring Tianshun, this new wave of talents was wiped out. This is really not how you cut leeks.
Ji Boying picked up a handful of tinfoil leeks, which tasted good.
"Moreover, Tianshun Zhu Qizhen, who won the goal, did one more thing."
"Let's take a guess."
Glancing at these emperors and princes, Ji Bo's lips raised slightly.
"Favoring the eunuch again?"
Lao Zhu frowned.
"Could it be that they are marching north again?"
Old Zhu Di and Zhu Laosi spoke almost at the same time.
Ji Boying smiled.
"After the restoration of Zhu Qizhen, Wang Zhen, who died in Tumu Fort, was buried and his soul was summoned. A temple was built and a shrine was built, and he was given the posthumous title Wenzhong."
Zhu Qizhen, who was squatting aside eating mutton skewers, suddenly felt a chill in his head. He subconsciously raised his head and almost burped in fear.
Seven eyes stared at him.
An eunuch who messed up the government caused countless families to lose their lives and ruined the elites that the Ming Dynasty had accumulated for decades. Why the hell are you going to bury him and summon his soul, build a temple and ancestral hall for him, and return loyalty to him? !
Later generations should not give you the Baozong, they should call you the Stupid Sect.
"No, don't hit me..."
"I, I, I didn't do anything..."
Zhu Qizhen, who was stared at by Shen Han's eyes and whose whole head was as swollen as a watermelon, almost cried in fear.
What he said was actually correct. In the orthodox time and space of Zhu Qi Town, he had not even become popular yet, and even before he could get the title of Ming God of War, he was beaten wildly by his ancestors.
"Brother, when are we going to Tianshun?"
Lao Zhu clenched his fists. He felt that this Tianshun Zhu Qizhen should not be beaten, but should be killed.
After all, compared to the orthodox Zhu Qizhen, one has not done anything yet, and the other has done everything.
"Soon."
In Ji Boying's plan, the orthodox civil fort - Jingtai Forbidden City - Tianshun Zhuqi Town is a complete observation route. After the completion, he will return to Hongwu for a unified summary.
"Master Immortal, I have another question."
Emperor Xuande put down the skewers in his hands and looked at Ji Boying seriously.
"speak."
"After class yesterday, I went back and read the volume given by the immortal master. The officials' faith and the cabinet reform are very good. I have left it to the cabinet to handle. However, I discussed the nobility system with the cabinet Sanyang. One night, I felt that it was really difficult to push away in my day, so I asked the immortal master to give me a good prescription to help students solve their doubts."
After saying this, Xuande Zhu Zhanji stood up and bowed deeply to Ji Boying. This problem had been bothering him all night.
Fatty Hong Xi also stood up. He actually had the same problem as Emperor Xuande.
Whether it is the Xuande Dynasty or the Hongxi Dynasty, the situation is different from that of Hongwu, Jianwen and Yongle. The vassal kings have been spreading for several generations. In addition, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaochi do not have the prestige of Lao Zhu and Zhu Di, so they are definitely doing it. There is no need to forcefully change the title system.
This is like a large company. The founder has set income rules for shareholders. If the founder wants to change this rule, or even abolish this rule, just one sentence is enough. Anyone who dares not to listen will be kicked out of the board of directors.
But what if the successor happens to be the kind with a good temper and wants to touch the cake of these shareholders?
If you are not careful, you may lose your position as chairman.
"Did you study the brochure I was given to you carefully?"
Ji Boying glanced at Emperor Xuande and frowned slightly.
"this…"
Emperor Xuande was silent for a moment and nodded.
"Then let me ask you, what is the core of the knighthood system?"
After saying this, Emperor Xuande was stunned, thinking that I don't know what the core is, it's not written in the booklet.
"madness."
When the two words came out of Ji Boying's mouth, Emperor Xuande immediately blushed and could only shamelessly salute again.
"Student is ignorant, please ask the immortal master to teach me."
Old Zhu Di glanced at Emperor Xuande, with a hint of displeasure in his voice.
"Zhanji, although you and I are not in the same time and space, I am your emperor. If you are so unmotivated in the future, don't blame the emperor for punishing you."
Emperor Xuande's scalp went numb after hearing this, and he could only nod mechanically.
"The core point of the reform of the nobility system lies in the cost of individual samples."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Xuande's eyes flashed, and the mess in his mind after reading the pamphlet was instantly cleared up.
To be called the Pentagon Emperor by later generations, Zhu Zhanji may not be a genius with unparalleled knowledge, but his IQ is definitely not low.
From Ji Boying's words, he already understood clearly.
"No matter which dynasty or generation you belong to, as long as you grasp this point and formulate detailed rules, you will be successful."
"The three Yangs are all outstanding people in the world. You only need to point this out to them. It is up to the three of them to formulate a system that suits your era."
"If the three of them can't do it, then you have to consider whether these three people are just in vain, and it's time for the cabinet to be replaced."
Ji Boying's meaning is very simple. I have already drawn the framework for you. How you build it inside is your own business. You can't ask me to do everything. You emperors and famous ministers are all eating shit. Growing up? !
"I see."
"The Immortal Master's words brought me enlightenment!"
Emperor Xuande took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
Emperor Hong Xi on the side also looked enlightened and had a great appetite, and continued to eat crazily with his head down.
"Come on, Lao Zhu, have a taste of this."
Ji Boying took a steamed lobster and handed it to Lao Zhu.
"Thank you, brother."
Lao Zhu nodded, but murmured in his heart.
This thing looks so hideous, how do you eat it? Can it be eaten?
Then Ji Boying handed a few more oysters to Old Zhu Di and Zhu Laosi.
"Take more refills."
Judging from the analysis of later unofficial histories, Zhu Di probably rode too much horseback riding. After the age of thirty, he was no longer good at that. Otherwise, he would not have only three sons so close in age.
Ji Boying peeled off a crayfish, then wiped the corners of his mouth and stood up, looking at Emperor Xuande.
"Xiao Zhu, let's go."
Emperor Xuande was stunned, but without any hesitation, he quickly stood up.
"Brother, are you going?"
"Go to Suncheon."
"You continue to eat."
Anyway, this earthen fort will have to fight for a while. Taking advantage of this free time, we can take Xuande and Zhu Zhanji to solve the problem of imperial power change in the orthodox time and space. In this way, when the earthen fort is over, we can go directly to Tianshun time and space.
People don’t need to go so much.
In the orthodox time and space, Xuande Zhu Zhanji is enough and most effective.
Words fall.
Swish, like the wind passing by.
The figures of Ji Boying and Emperor Xuande have disappeared, along with Zhu Qizhen squatting on the ground.
……………………
Orthodox - Jingtai time and space, Imperial Capital Shuntian, in the Forbidden City.
The atmosphere in the Forbidden City that night was solemn, completely different from the past.
The six cabinet ministers and other important ministers gathered in Fengtian Hall under orders late at night.
"Your Highness, I have just received the battle report from the front line. Your Majesty's Northern Expedition Army has not entered Juyong Pass as promised, and Huailai City has been occupied by the Zhiyuan Ara Army. This means that the retreat of our Northern Expedition Army has been interrupted."
"Your Highness, please order immediately to prepare troops in Beijing and Henan, to prepare Japanese troops along the coast, and to transport grain officers and troops from Jiangbei and surrounding prefectures into Shuntian to prevent the Wa Lai from crossing the pass and causing unexpected events in Kyoto."
Yu Qian, the Minister of War, looked at Zhu Qiyu, the King of the Supervisory State, who was standing on the steps of the palace, and spoke in a solemn voice.
In fact, there was something he didn't say directly.
From the perspective of a minister of the Ministry of War, the Northern Expedition army, which has been made dumplings, has almost no way to survive.
Before Wala can break through the pass, the best strategy is to mobilize troops and horses to defend the capital now.
Yu Qian's proposal to mobilize troops was actually imagining Zhu Qizhen's death in battle.
In the dynasty of the family world, if the ministers made such a hypothetical suggestion, most of them would be punished by the nine tribes, and a small minority would be punished by the three tribes.
But for Yu Qian, who despises the king and values the country, this is nothing.
After Zhu Qiyu heard this, he frowned. Although he had the reputation of supervising the country, he really didn't want to get involved in these matters, and such a big thing as mobilizing troops was a taboo for the vassal king.
Even the prince overseeing the country did not dare to use troops, let alone him, the vassal king.
If his eldest brother Zhu Qizhen came back, even if he only had one breath left, the first thing he would do would probably be to drag himself out first.
"Wang Shangshu, what do you think?"
Zhu Qiyu had a hesitant personality and was not a bold person at first. He looked at Wang Zhi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, who was standing side by side with Yu Qian.
"I feel that what Minister Yu said is reasonable. To protect the safety of the capital, I ask His Highness to give the order immediately."
Wang Zhi supported Yu Qian without hesitation.
He doesn't know about soldiers, but he knows what kind of person Yu Qian is. He has a country but no king in his heart, and he is talking about Yu Qian.
"Heh, interesting."
"You are so brave. Your Majesty is away on an expedition to the north, and you dare to try to mobilize troops to Beijing."
"Do you want to rebel?!"
The commander of the Jin Yiwei, Ma Shun, was Wang Zhen's number one scoundrel, and he was the one who was later beaten to death by a group of officials in the main hall.
"Your Highness, I see that people like Yu Qian, Wang Zhi, and others are intent on moving troops to the capital. They must be treacherous people with evil intentions. They should all be sent to prison for strict trial. I ask your highness to order that these people be sent to prison. Prison! I will definitely expose their crimes within three days!"
Of course Ma Shun doesn't want Yu Qian and others to bring troops into the capital, otherwise he would be so crazy. As long as the troops don't enter the capital, the Jin Yiwei he holds in his hand will be the strongest thug group in the city.
"this……"
Zhu Qiyu's face became more and more hesitant.
"This matter is of great importance, and I need to report it to the Queen Mother, who will make the decision."
In fact, this is normal. On the surface, Zhu Qiyu is the prison prince, but in fact, after the emperor leaves Beijing, all the decision-making power of the empire rests with the Queen Mother.
Ma Shun smiled even more happily.
After all, the Queen Mother Sun was one of his own, and he had already figured out the character of the Queen Mother Sun through Wang Zhen over the years.
Yu Qian, Wang Zhi and other six important ministers were all filled with hatred, but they all knew that from the Queen Mother to the Supervisor of Ceremonies to the Dongchang Jinyiwei, there was a complete chain of dependence that they, the civil servants, could not shake at all.
"What should I report to the Ai family?"
A voice came, and the still charming Empress Dowager Sun slowly walked into Fengtian Hall.
After she got the news that Huailai City had been occupied and the Northern Expedition Army had no way to retreat, she couldn't sleep well. She didn't care about the harem's misconduct and went directly to Fengtian Palace.
As soon as the Queen Mother Sun appeared, Zhu Qiyu quickly saluted, then went down the palace steps and welcomed the Queen Mother Sun up.
"The Queen Mother, Yu Qian, Wang Zhi and others are trying to mobilize troops to Beijing. I suspect that they are secretly forming a clique and want to take advantage of Your Majesty's northern expedition with the intention of disrupting the country and usurping power."
"Ma Shun, slandering a third-rank minister or above in the court is a capital offense."
Yu Qian glanced at Ma Shun coldly, but it was obviously of no use.
"oh?"
Empress Dowager Sun glanced at Yu Qian meaningfully. The matter of troop deployment was extremely sensitive for the imperial power.
Especially for a woman like Queen Mother Sun who doesn't understand anything but insists on pretending to understand, for some things, no matter whether they are true or false, the risk must be minimized.
For example, whether Yu Qian and Wang Zhi really intended to send troops to Beijing to cause chaos in the country, regardless of whether he did or not, it is always right to lock people up.
"I request the Queen Mother to issue an order to imprison King Yu Qian and hand them over to the Royal Guards for strict interrogation!"
Ma Shun spoke again.
Queen Mother Sun was silent for a moment, not thinking much, and she couldn't think of anything.
"Then..."
'Snapped. '
A loud slap fell on Queen Mother Sun's right cheek.
The stunned Queen Mother Sun was suddenly startled. Before she could get angry, a familiar face came into her eyes.
"Ji, Jilang..."
Ji Boying sat on the dragon chair with his legs crossed.
Hearing the sound of "Gilang", I almost spit out the barbecue I just ate.
……………………
at the same time.
In the border earthen fort, a group of remnants of cavalry, numbering more than 10,000 people, were stationed on the top of a slope ten miles away from the earthen fort under the moonlight and windy sand.
The leader was wearing woolen leather armor, with an angry look on his face, and was staring in the direction of Tumu Fort.
"Brother, the Ming army is gathering its forces and is not pursuing them immediately."
"Logically speaking, our raid on Tumubao is not secretive, but the Ming army doesn't care."
"Is there some fraud involved?"
Boyan Timur, Ye Xian's younger brother.
"The Han people like to play with the fictitious and real tactics of war. There is an old saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place."
"I'm sure!"
"The Ming Emperor must still be in this earthen fort!"
There is anger in Ye Xian's eyes. Since his debut, he has annexed the Tatars, unified Mongolia, and dominated the grasslands. The surrounding countries are afraid of his name.
He had never fought such a useless battle. The 50,000 main heavy cavalry under his command were divided and intercepted one after another. Inexplicably, only the few people around him were left.
Originally, we had placed our hopes on the Arabe of the Imperial Academy, but as a result, we got the news that the Arabei of the Imperial Academy were completely wiped out, and even the messengers were disabled.
So far, he didn't even know who was leading the troops, and he certainly didn't believe it was Zhu Qizhen, that loser.
"When the Ming army gathers forces and catches up, they will definitely annihilate us all. Seizing the Ming Emperor is our only chance to make a comeback."
"Furthermore, with the speed of our army, it only takes an hour to attack the Tumu Fort. If it is in vain, then we can choose another direction to evacuate. Is it possible that there will be thunder and punishment to destroy us?!"
Grand Master Wala, who has always believed in atheism, would never believe in thunder falling from the sky.
Also take a deep breath first, then gallop your horse and whip your whip.
"Destroy the earthen fortress and capture the Emperor of Tomorrow alive!"
With one order, the heavy cavalry with more than 10,000 tiles shook off the hooves of the horses and pushed towards the earthen fort not far away.
