"Chief Assistant!" The head of the official department stamped his feet, "Long live the Lord and his troops into the city!"
"Nonsense," Wang Zaijin, the Minister of War, said with a smile, "You're going to let Lord Long Live enter the city alone without leading troops? What should you do if you meet a bad person?"
"Wang Shangshu," the chief minister shook his head, "the soldiers led by Long live Lord have occupied the Rong government office... Xianguan lived next to the Rong government office. He saw with his own eyes the emperor's servants who were wearing armor and armed with swords. Zhongzhi took over the government office!"
"What? Take over the Rong government?" Zhang Fengyi, the Minister of War, immediately became anxious, "What does this Long Live Lord want to do? This is Beijing!"
Yes, Beijing city!
The most virtuous city in the world, a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. Ordinary Long Live Lords can only keep their eyes open in Beijing. Even an extraordinary Long Live Lord like Emperor Tianqi only bothers the civil servants of the Donglin Party... The Donglin Party has great power in the southeast, but There is not much power in Beizhili and Beijing City. Beijing and Beizhili are still the territory of Xunchen and eunuchs!
Therefore, Emperor Tianqi's struggle was just to use eunuchs to fight civil servants... He only wanted to eat up the land of the 74 guards around Beijing, eat up the 3 million vacancies in the Beijing camp a year, and control the 340,000 Jin Yiwei. Those nobles who even extorted money and didn't know how to give money to the emperor would not dare to touch them too much.
Of course, the vassal kings and scholar-bureaucrats from all over the world have more to eat! But they just took advantage of Tiangao Emperor Yuan. And if the emperor doesn't control the land, population, and military strength of Beijing and Beizhili, why should he extend his claws to all parts of the world?
But the dragons and tigers in Beijing are not so easy to subdue. They can make the emperor die young... they can also tightly tie the emperor's hands and feet, turning the emperor into a real loner.
However, no matter how capable the nobles of Beijing and the eunuchs of the inner court are, they can only deal with ordinary Long Live Lords. But now this Long Live Lord is no ordinary Long Live Lord, he is an "atavistic" Long Live Lord! He's not at all disciplined. If you're talking to him about sage principles, he'll pounce on you with a knife!
What's even more hateful is that this long-lived man is quite capable of killing people. He came to power for more than a year and fought for several months, but he actually won all the battles. He also opened up new territories and seized the territory of 20,000 households in three states. , oh, he also killed a Mongolian number one warrior in a duel, and also stole the Mongolian Khan’s girl... This long live, is really not a good long live!
"Where is Lord Long Live?" Huang Liji was also a little anxious. "When did he enter the city? Why didn't anyone report it to the cabinet? The Rong government was occupied by soldiers in front of the tent. What about Shuntian Prefecture?"
The Ministry of War is in charge of the affairs of the military government, while Shuntian Mansion belongs to the civilian system. If the emperor suddenly led troops into the city, why should these two yamen notify the cabinet? The Rong government was occupied and there was no way to report it. What about Shuntian Prefecture? Is it also occupied?
What on earth do you want to do? Why does it mean to stage a coup to seize power? Whose family do you belong to?
"Long live the Lord seems to have left Zhengyangmen..." The person in charge was the one who answered, "When I was passing by Qipan Street, I saw a brigade of golden-armored cavalry coming down from the Zhengyangmen tower, and then went out again. Zhengyangmen, and Zhengyangmen has also been controlled by soldiers in front of the tent."
The Six Ministries of the Ming Dynasty are very close to Zhengyang Gate, across from Daming Gate (the main entrance to the imperial city) and Qipan Street (composed of four short streets, square and like a chessboard). Officials from the Sixth Department had to pass through Qipan Street when they wanted to go to the Yamen. When the official was passing by Qipan Street, he happened to see a group of cavalry coming down the horse path from Zhengyangmen Tower, and then leaving the city through Zhengyangmen. Because this team of cavalry were all wearing dazzling golden armor, he thought of Long Live Lord.
"What are you going to do in the outer city?"
Huang Liji was still asking stupidly, but Wang Zaijin had already stood up: "Chief Assistant, don't ask... let's go to greet him! We will know everything when we meet Long Live Lord!"
...
"You, you, you long live master, don't come here! Otherwise, slave, slave..."
In Shanxi Camp, in the Bai family mansion, a chaste and martyr woman is resisting the long live man who wants to rob her! The way to resist is to use traditional martial arts.
Widow Xu was a general's daughter after all. Although she married into a wealthy businessman's family, her martial arts skills that she had practiced since childhood were not lost. As soon as he heard that someone was trying to rob him, he subconsciously took up his stance, half-turned around and sat on his horse, using a stance of turning over and showing his palms and fists to lead the way. Although the widow was wearing an underskirt, a jacket, and a coat, this "show" still showed off her good figure.
After arranging her posture, Widow Xu realized that something was wrong...her godfather Xu Yingyuan had already knelt down in front of a hairless young man in golden armor, and even called the young man "Long Live Lord"!
Isn't Long Live Lord...the most important figure in the Ming Dynasty today?
Why did he come to Shanxi Camp?
Did he just say he wanted to rob me?
Thinking of this, Widow Xu was already a little confused! But I am still confused, and I still need to put on some resistance.
When Zhu Youjian saw Widow Xu's appearance and figure, and her attitude of wanting to compete with him in martial arts, he immediately liked her and laughed loudly: "You Widow Xu are really brave, dare you Competing with me in martial arts... I'm much better than your godmother Hakka!"
Hearing Zhu Youjian mention the Hakka family, Widow Xu's nose just rolled over and her slender eyes became a little moist.
Although Hakka did many evil things, he was very kind to his goddaughter Widow Xu. Moreover, Widow Xu also knew that the Hakka family had been wronged, and that any conspiracy or rebellion was a matter of no concern. Dingtian was having an affair with Emperor Tianqi.
I got stabbed for this little thing, 3,600 knives...
At this time, Xu Yingyuan also found out that his goddaughter was going to fight with the little emperor. He became anxious at that time and hurriedly said: "Mrs. Xu, what are you going to do? Long live the Lord is here, why don't you kneel down to welcome him!"
"Yes, but he wants to grab the quota!" Widow Xu bit her silver teeth, "I won't agree!"
Don't agree?
Zhu Youjian chuckled: "Widow Xu, you are not only the goddaughter of the Hakka family, but also an accomplice of the traitor Fan Yongdou...Fan Yongdou has already recruited him! It was you who brought Dai Wang and other Datong kings together that day A copy of the memorial that deceived the public and cursed the emperor was given to him. And he took this copy to his mouth and attracted an army of slaves and thieves!"
"Xu, Madam Xu, is this the case?" Xu Yingyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, was frightened, because he gave the copy of the memorial to his goddaughter... Of course, the reason why he did this was not for To connect with foreign countries, Widow Xu was required to contribute money and effort to help Zhu Cihong ascend the throne while still in her mother's womb. Widow Xu was the general merchant of Shanxi in the capital city (there was more than one general merchant). At critical moments, she could mobilize huge amounts of cash and return the favor. A large amount of grain can be transported to Beijing.
And Widow Xu broke the news to Fan Yongdou - in fact, this was normal. Fan Yongdou was also a big Shanxi businessman, and there was also news from outside the mouth. Widow Xu wanted to find out what happened to the little emperor through him. But who would have thought that Fan Yongdou would directly pass the news to Donglu!
"Uh, uh..." Madam Xu has realized the seriousness of the problem!
It’s not a big deal for Baike to be his godmother, Wei Zhongxian’s godsons and godsons are still here! It's nothing more than buying indulgences... There is no rule of law in this matter. The little emperor cannot bring the Bai family to death no matter what.
But Tongfan's crime of treason is different! If this is to be done, Widow Xu will not be killed alone, but the whole family will be executed.
"Ms. Xu," Zhu Youjian said with a bad smile, "don't be anxious... I know you made the mistake unintentionally and will be lenient. But you must also have the intention of atonement!" Are you going to follow Fan Yongdou all the way to death?"
Atonement...
When Madam Xu heard these two words, her legs went weak and she knelt down, tears streaming down her face, "Long live Lord, please forgive me this time... I am a little girl who doesn't understand things... ..."
While she was begging for mercy, she was still secretly looking at Zhu Youjian, and she saw a rather handsome face full of a scheming evil smile - this is really not a good long live!
