Zhu Qizhen returned to the carriage and left his sad place.
He stayed in Mongolia for more than six years.
He is thinking about his failure all the time, and he is also thinking about the dragon chair in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the supreme power...
He has endless hatred for these courtiers who eat the emperor's salary. Why, even after winning the war, he will not take him back.
Why did you let yourself stay in Mongolia for six years?
Do they know how they survived the past six years?
No one felt the same way. They only cared about their official position, their wealth and life. No one ever thought that their monarch was drinking the northwest wind in Mongolia.
This time he's back.
The eldest grandson of Emperor Hongxi of the Ming Dynasty, the eldest son of Emperor Xuande, and the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is back...
Tuo TuoBuHua regarded Zhu Qizhen as a guest. He had not suffered much since the victory in the defense of Beijing.
An independent yurt with a Mongolian woman dedicated to serving him.
In the second year of Chenghua, Zhu Qizhen was able to contact the capital. He wrote letters to Empress Qian, Empress Dowager Sun, and issued decrees to officials of the six cabinet ministries. However, except for Empress Qian's reply to him, But no one is responding to it.
Empress Dowager Sun restrained her thoughts about her son for the sake of peace in the Ming Dynasty.
After receiving the letter, Queen Qian sent her maids and eunuchs to Mongolia to take care of Zhu Qizhen.
And they gave birth to a son and a daughter in Mongolia.
Although there are wine, meat and women in Zhu Qizhen, he is still a prisoner. If one day, the war between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia resumes, wouldn't he, the supreme emperor, become a trump card again? A gentleman will not build a dangerous wall and run away.
The Mongols did not restrict his freedom greatly, but without help, he could not return to the Ming Dynasty alone.
The eunuch assigned to him by Queen Qian solved Zhu Qizhen's urgent need.
Let the eunuch explore the way.
It took half a year to figure out the route.
Then, Zhu Qizhen took advantage of the dark and windy night, abandoned his children, and ran away with four eunuchs.
On the way, two eunuchs fed the wolf.
After going through many hardships, I finally saw Datong City.
Then we walked around the city. {The Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty was not repaired during the Zhengtong period}
He followed the route he took with high spirits six years ago and walked it again.
It took more than two months.
Tumubao ended his career as an emperor, and he started anew in Tumubao, completed the unfinished road back to Beijing, and ascended the supreme throne again.
The city of Beijing under the darkness of night looks solemn and grand.
A fast horse galloped from a distance.
"Datong Military Report, Datong Military Report, open the city gate quickly, open the city gate quickly." A cavalryman wearing armor shouted towards the Deshengmen wall.
The night guard at Deshengmen was Shi Heng's nephew, Shi Biao.
The soldiers called out Shi Biao who was drinking in the pavilion. Shi Biao looked at the soldiers below and shouted: "Do you have a token?"
"Order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army, General Military Order of Datong." The soldier said and took out two tokens from his arms.
Putting these two tokens together is no small matter.
Could it be that the Mongols are looking for trouble again?
The city gate opened wide, and the soldiers rushed forward with a leap.
The Chinese Army Governor's Mansion is brightly lit.
After Zhu Shou read the military report, he handed it to Chen Ying.
After reading it, Chen Ying also looked solemn.
"Mr. Cheng, we will meet at court tomorrow. This matter should be discussed or not discussed."
"Hou Taining thought, can you tell me?"
"The general's thoughts should be the same as those of Duke Cheng. His Majesty originally hoped that the Supreme Emperor would return. If he knew that the Supreme Emperor had entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that Xu Youzhen's gang of officials would not be able to stop His Majesty."
"Your Majesty cannot know about this matter, otherwise he will be known as unfilial."
Zhu Jianshen's various actions gave him a very high position in the hearts of nobles.
How could Zhu Qizhen, who was mischievous and naughty when he was young, indulge his domestic slaves and treat national affairs as child's play when he grew up, compare with Zhu Jianshen?
"Li Fuchen has the most twists and turns. Why don't you and I go there to breathe first?" Chen Ying thought for a while and said.
Yu Qian and Li Xian have different ideas. Yu Qian takes the right path and acts openly. If he were consulted with him, he would definitely go with the flow and take Zhu Qizhen back to Beijing directly.
But the nobles were not happy to see this result.
But Li Xian is different. Although Li Xian is also a scholar and a Jinshi, he is smart and not rigid.
"There is no need to delay. Let's go now." After saying that, Zhu Shou and Chen Ying left the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion with their soldiers and went straight to Li Xian's mansion.
Li Xian's residence is not far from the imperial palace and is in the same area as the government agencies.
The matter was urgent, and there was no greeting, so the two of them came directly to the door.
The servant guarding the door was startled when he saw these dozen soldiers riding tall horses. He thought that his master had committed something and came to block the door late at night to arrest people.
In the living room of Li Mansion.
Li Xian, who had just been woken up and was wearing a robe, looked at the letter with an increasingly serious face.
He put down the letter and asked, "When did you discover it?"
"General Han had a secret military sentry in Totuobuhua. The Mongols discovered it six days after the Emperor left. After the secret sentry found out, he spent a day and night passing the information to Datong. If the Emperor was not wrong, As for the route, it should have passed through Datong, near Juyong Pass or Zijin Pass, but now I am not sure which pass the Supreme Emperor entered through." Chen Ying replied after thinking for a while. After Chen Ying finished speaking, he felt something was wrong.
"Did Yu Shoufu ever know about this matter?"
"When the battle report was received by the two of us, we immediately came to look for Li Fuchen without informing the Taibao."
Li Xian smiled lightly.
"You have your own methods, and the cabinet also has its own charter. I'm afraid the chief minister will know about it before we do."
"What, could it be?" Chen Ying didn't believe it. This information came from the military station's urgent battle report. Even if Yu Qian arranged the means, he would not know it before they did.
"Among the eunuchs and maids sent by the Empress Dowager Yi'an, some of them were escorted by Taibao, and Wuyang Marquis Shi Heng was in charge. As far as I know, there was a hidden line of Yu Taibao in the escort team. Datong's spies were watching The target of the Mongols. But the people sent by Yu Taibao are always at the side of the Supreme Emperor. Once he disappears, the message will be passed on. Even if it is not as fast as this battle report on the journey, it will be earlier than this battle report. Enter Beijing." Li Xian said softly.
"Then if Yu Taibao knew about it, what arrangements did he have?" Zhu Shou frowned. In fact, he didn't want Yu Qian to know about it.
Otherwise their operability will be low.
Although the four of them reached an agreement in the first year of Chenghua when the British Duke Zhang Fu was still alive, Yu Qiande's attitude was ambiguous. After working together for a long time, everyone also discovered that Yu Qian's character was not capable of conspiracy... …
"I didn't have it before. I made some arrangements after I came back from His Majesty yesterday."
"What arrangement?" Zhu Shou asked quickly.
"Tai Ning Hou should know something." Li Xian said and looked at Chen Ying.
"You know." Zhu Shou looked at Chen Ying, already a little confused. These civil servants were making twists and turns all day long, and they couldn't understand what they said.
"Yesterday, His Majesty Zhu Pi asked the Central Military Commission to issue an order to charge Huang Liji, the guard of Zijin Pass, and Jing Yuan, the guard of Juyong Pass, to close the pass for ten days to investigate suspicious persons. As far as I know, Sun Xiang, the deputy censor of the capital, also today , followed the military order to Zijingguan, and Wang Wen, the left minister of the Ministry of War, also set out for Juyongguan today. Could it be that Yu Taibao wanted to stop the Supreme Emperor at Zijingguan or Juyongguan? "
If there had not been the return of the Supreme Emperor, this would have been an ordinary security drill, but at this moment, the purpose of Yu Qian's manipulation of these two things was very clear.
Chen Ying didn't think about it carefully just now, but after Li Xian's enlightenment, he suddenly understood.
"Although Yu Shoufu is an upright person, for the sake of Ming Dynasty, even if he despises such despicable methods, he will still use them. It's respectable." Li Xian took a deep breath and said with a serious face.
"Then what are we going to do? Seal the capital and investigate everything." Zhu Shou said seriously.
"No, Juyong Pass and Zijin Pass are important towns. There is a precedent for seclusion and interrogation, but there is no precedent for it in the capital. Whenever there is a disturbance, people will be panicked. Maybe it will spread to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty. When the time comes, Things will be difficult to handle.”
"Then I'll do nothing."
"The capital cannot be closed, but as for the palace, we can think of some ways..."
