Thirty years of Yongle.
May.
The capital is hot.
As the head of the Beijing Guard Army, Gaoyi was guarding the city wall and patrolling the city's security as usual.
In the past two months, people everywhere in the capital have been in panic.
It has been two months since the death of Emperor Yongle.
If Prime Minister Zhang Weizheng hadn't turned the tide and suppressed all officials, the entire capital would have turned into a pot of porridge.
Jinyiwei,
East Factory.
Royal Forest Army,
It is twelve hours and twelve minutes of alert.
The four major camps on the outskirts of the capital are also strictly guarded.
Even Dazhou's most elite Red Flame Army is ready to fight at any time.
No suspicious person can enter the capital.
The capital...has become a veritable iron barrel.
This is also the time.
Gao Yi was suddenly stunned and grabbed a guard beside him: "Look, did I see it wrong? Is there... something approaching?"
The guard looked around and saw that the horizon was beginning to blur.
Smoke was rising into the sky, sand and dust were flying, and the whole earth was shaking.
quickly……
I saw a mighty army approaching.
Gao Yi's whole body tensed up.
His face turned pale instantly.
The army is approaching?
Is this an enemy attack?
Yellow Turban Sect?
But I have never heard that the Yellow Turban Sect has already reached Kyoto!
The trumpet will be blown at that moment, and the whole city will be on alert.
When he suddenly saw the red flag in the army that was flapping against the sun, Gao Yi suddenly showed an excited look on his face.
It's not just him.
All the soldiers in the four major battalions also became excited when they discovered the arrival of the Red Flame Army.
"King Xiaoyao has returned to Beijing!"
The red Suzaku flag...that's the flag of King Xiaoyao.
He finally returned to Beijing!
Everyone knows what his return means.
This means that the turbulent Zhou Dynasty will once again gain stability...
He will end this two-month reign without a master.
"quick!"
"quick!"
"Open the city gate!"
"Welcome our King Xiaoyao into the city!"
…
Xiao Ping did not enter the capital immediately.
He rides a horse.
Standing under the city gate, he raised his head and looked at the three words "Kyoto City" on the city wall, his eyes full of memories.
Yongle twenty-two years.
Border conflict.
He led one hundred thousand cavalry from the Hetao Plain to Daqi.
After this trip, he never set foot in the capital again.
Even after the death of his mother and concubine...he didn't come back.
It is now the 30th year of Yongle.
Eight years...
This Kyoto is still the same Kyoto.
But he is no longer the Xiao Ping he used to be.
"Your Majesty, it's time for us to enter the city..."
A general beside Xiao Ping said.
His name is Guo Zijin.
Together with Ji Yun, he is known as Xiao Ping's right-hand man.
This time he will escort Xiao Ping back to the city.
As for Ji Yun, on the day of his return, he sent someone to ask him to go back to guard Linzi City.
Linzi City was the original capital of Daqi.
But it is also closest to the former Daqi border...
As long as Linzi City is immortal.
Then the eastern border will be intact...
The Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Great Zhou Dynasty was only an internal rebellion in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But if the eastern border is lost and the Qin army goes straight into the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, then this will be Xiao Ping's crime!
"Now the entire Great Zhou Dynasty depends entirely on you, Prince."
Xiao Ping hummed.
"It's time to enter the city...but we are not in a hurry to return to the palace, we need to go somewhere first!"
"where?"
Guo Zijin asked curiously.
When the prince returns to Kyoto, he doesn't go back to the imperial city first, but goes somewhere else instead?
What place is so important?
"West of the city! Don't fight for the father-in-law's yard!"
Don’t fight for father-in-law!
It's him!
Hearing this name, Guo Zijin's face suddenly became a little serious...
That father-in-law is a legend in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Not just the first innate.
I heard that Eunuch Bu Zheng had already become an immortal cultivator.
It may not be an exaggeration to say that he is the number one player in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Not only that...
The prince's name was also chosen without any dispute.
only……
The prince is now going to be His Majesty the Great Zhou Dynasty. Going to see him when he comes back is not necessarily too important, right?
Of course, he didn't dare to say anything.
I heard that even Emperor Yongle had to bow his head when he saw his father-in-law. How could he dare to be disrespectful as a martial artist?
Xiao Ping's horse dismounted when it was still a street away from Chen Luo's courtyard in the west of the city.
He walked over.
When they all arrived in the west of the city, they looked at the plaque in front of the door...
Xiao Ping was stunned.
"No fight, father-in-law, how long have you been in seclusion?"
he asked the soldiers beside him.
The soldier replied: "Back to my lord, my father-in-law went into seclusion in April of the 28th year of Yongle. Today is May of the 31st year of Yongle... Counting the time, it has been more than three years."
It’s been three years...
It’s true that it’s long and short.
At least for an immortal like Mr. Bu Zheng, it seems a bit short, right?
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Buqian is in seclusion right now. Do you want me to go up and knock on the door?"
Guo Zijin asked.
But these words made Xiao Ping frown slightly.
"Guo Zijin, how long have you been following this king?"
Xiao Ping suddenly asked.
Guo Zijin didn't think much and replied: "My subordinate has been with His Highness since he went to Daqi for more than eight years!"
"Eight years is neither more nor less, but you should also know my character."
He looked at Guo Zijin.
"How many powerful people have I seen over the years? Even though there have been some who claim to be monks in the past two years, I have seen very few. But have you ever seen me showing off to them?"
Guo Zijin said: "No!"
"Then why do you think this king has such respect for Eunuch Bu Zheng?"
Guo Zijin was stunned.
This is what he doesn't understand.
"Subordinate, you are stupid..."
"You are indeed not smart."
Xiao Ping said calmly:
"I respect him, not only because he gave me my name, but also because he is the guardian of my royal family, the Xiao family of Great Zhou!
In the past, my father came to Beijing to regain control of the country. If he didn't fight for his father-in-law and take action, how could his father regain control of the Zhou Dynasty?
Emperor Jianwen led the White Lotus Sect to Beijing, and the Zhao Guo Grand Master took action. If he didn't fight for his father's father-in-law, do you think there would be a chance for this king to be born? "
Guo Zijin lowered his head in shame.
Dare not speak any more.
Xiao Ping sighed softly...
This Guo Zijin is good at fighting, but there are some things that he can't see as clearly as Ji Yun.
Xiao Ping didn't say anything.
Don’t fight for father-in-law...
He doesn't fight.
But with him here, he won’t fight anymore, and some people have to fight too!
Thinking of this, Xiao Ping bowed to the courtyard and then slowly left the west side of the city.
At the same time, he ordered that no one should disturb the undisputed father-in-law.
…
The new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty ascended the throne.
June of the 31st year of Yongle is an auspicious day.
Xiao Ping ascended the throne.
Called: Emperor Jianwu!
The title of the year is named Jianwu, which is quite suitable for Xiao Ping's character.
But this year is still the 31st year of Yongle.
In the first year of Jianwu, you have to wait until the first day of the first lunar month of next year before it can be used again.
After Emperor Jianwu ascended the throne.
Twelve imperial edicts were issued in succession...
Ten of them are decrees to mobilize the armies of various states. Each state has the greatest strength to clear out the Yellow Turbans, and gives each state the greatest rights.
There was a craze in the world to annihilate the Yellow Turban Sect.
The other two...
One is the construction of the Yongle Emperor Mausoleum.
Emperor Yongle died suddenly, and the imperial mausoleum had not yet been built, so the imperial mausoleum needed to be put on the road.
The other one is related to Chen Luo...
Emperor Jianwu ordered that Duke Bu Zheng, Chen Luo, be made the Imperial Master of the Zhou Dynasty, and he would be favored by the people of the world!
As soon as this news came out.
All the major lurking sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty were stunned.
The leader of the Yellow Turban Sect, Zhang Guqing, was also in a mess.
Is there a national teacher in Dazhou? ?
The purpose of fighting Da Zhou here is just to force them to recognize their status as the state religion.
The result is now...
Tell yourself, does Zhou have a national master?
Go to hell, the Imperial Master! ! ! !
