After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, one hundred thousand Jin troops, led by Jin Wushu, launched a battle to search mountains and seas, hoping to capture Zhao Gou who had just ascended the throne as emperor.
History is a circle, constantly reincarnating.
Times have changed, and more than two hundred years later, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty once again played hide-and-seek with the Supreme Emperor.
Although they did not go to the sea, they really searched the mountains and forests, and their momentum was much greater than that of Jin Wushu's 100,000 Jin army.
The cabinet began to allocate manpower. The order received by Lu Xizhong, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, was to dispatch 500 government officials from all levels of government offices to go outside the customs. Lu Xizhong had been an official in Beijing and knew what his own emperor was like. In order to I was able to find the Supreme Emperor earlier and let him enjoy peace and happiness earlier. I immediately ran all night and visited, and transferred 2,000 government servants from various county offices. Four times the tasks assigned by the cabinet were transferred by Yu Qian.
The yamen inside and outside the capital had to redeploy manpower, and the people who looked after the warehouses in the Ministry of Revenue were all transferred out.
There were three battalions in the capital and ten battalions were trained in regiments. Each battalion drew out a thousand soldiers. They all took off their armor and put on civilian clothes. They were led by Qianhu and rushed to the outside of the pass.
Zijing Pass, Juyong Pass, all the passes have mobilized manpower, and the state capitals in the North cannot be idle. If they have people, they will have money. This money refers to the food of the Soushan people.
Even the border troops of Datong and Xuanfu were mobilized to search from outside to inside.
Jinyiwei dispatched a thousand people to do special work. Zhu Ji and Liu Yu personally came to take command outside the customs.
With sincere cooperation from outside the customs, 120,000 people began to search the Zijingguan and Juyongguan areas.
Although most people didn't know what they were looking for, such a huge momentum had to arouse discussion below. It was unknown where the news came from, saying that the Supreme Emperor, who was a guest on the Mongolian grasslands, had returned.
This rumor is getting more and more sinister as it spreads.
When everyone heard this, they became even more energetic. Some even stopped eating and insisted on finding Zhu Qizhen and teaching him a lesson. Back then, I was almost dragged into the battlefield as a warehouse keeper.
Outside the pass, there are dense sentinels, and many villages have not seen a single new face for many years, but in the past few days, there are really more new faces than familiar faces.
Ordinary people didn't know why and thought there was going to be another war.
The Ming Dynasty inherited the management methods of grassroots villages in the past dynasties. In the city, they were divided into villages and managed by village leaders. Those not far outside the city were called Xiangs and Xiang Zhangs. In remote countryside, Lis were set up and were called Li Changs, and the villages were called Jia. For the first one.
Since then, he is no longer an official, but a servant, but he still has a salary.
As the official documents continued to flow downwards, there was one that told the people not to panic. The reason given was that Xu Youzhen, the imperial censor of the imperial court, was going to inspect on behalf of the emperor.
The head of the village got the news from the county government and passed it down to the head of the village. The head of the village told the villagers not to panic. It was not that there was going to be a war, but that Tianguan was coming.
This gave these people some peace of mind.
Wangjiaji.
An ordinary small market town is a gathering of people from dozens of nearby villages, held every ten meetings, but in normal times, there are also vendors setting up stalls here, and there are many food items.
A bulletin board often posted government reward notices and the date of food delivery, but today the ink-stained official document was torn off and replaced by a new notice.
The eunuch accompanying Zhu Qi Town discovered something unusual when he went to this market to buy sesame seed cakes. He found two or three horses on one side of the market in this remote small market. The people rushing over were all bullock carts, but he had never seen a horse. At that moment, the little eunuch didn't care about buying sesame cakes and turned around to leave. But when he got to the bulletin board, he found dozens of people gathered around him.
Now that the limelight was getting tight, the young eunuch also walked over to take a look, hoping to collect some information for his majesty.
In the 14th year of Orthodoxy, he made a big mistake and brought shame to his ancestors. He was imprisoned. Recently, he was released from prison. He has no repentance and still wants to inherit the ancestral inheritance. The high platform is still there. The family inheritance has been inherited. There is absolutely no possibility of turning around. There is room for those who are accompanying you, don't be deceived by it. If you know how to return from the lost way, you can save your life and you can also be covered with glory.
There is no mention of the Supreme Emperor in the announcement, but every sentence is about the Supreme Emperor. This is also a special arrangement of Jin Yiwei. People who are literate in these official documents can tell at a glance that they are talking about the Supreme Emperor.
In order to leave the last fig leaf for Zhu Qizhen, all these things were handed over to Jin Yiwei.
This is also the trick played by the people in the cabinet. There are many people around the county who are literate, so this kind of official documents are not posted. In the remote countryside, the only people who can understand such notices are the eunuchs around Zhu Qizhen.
The eunuch's heartbeat quickened as he watched, then he turned and left.
But after taking two steps, he stopped and hesitated.
Can the Supreme Emperor really ascend the throne again?
This, why does this look like a prisoner?
If I help him again, if I am caught, the Supreme Emperor is the father of the little emperor, so nothing will happen to me, but if I take my own life, I will definitely die.
…………
After Yu Qian, Li Xian and others had detailed discussions in the cabinet, they began to make additional arrangements based on what Yang Shan said.
Only use Yang Shan’s suggestions as the core.
On the one hand, there is a heart attack, on the other hand, there is a large-scale manhunt. There is no martial law in Beijing, but behind the scenes it is no different from martial law. There are censors on duty at the nine gates, and the same is true outside the palace.
After three measures, the cabinet ministers wanted to find and eliminate Zhu Qizhen's hidden danger as soon as possible.
Everyone drew up a detailed plan, gathered the strength of the entire capital together, and made arrangements separately.
Yu Qian coordinated, Li Xian compiled and issued official documents, and Zhu Shou, Chen Ying, and Shi Heng personally led the team out of the customs.
There are more than 60 censors in Beijing, and 32 of them are stationed.
In the court hall, you cry the loudest and speak the loudest, so you should contribute the most.
Xu Youzhen, a master of astronomical phenomena, was not idle either. The official document that the young eunuch saw was written by Xu Youzhen, and Xu Youzhen also asked to leave Beijing and follow Jin Yiwei to go outside the customs.
In the original history, Xu Youzhen took the lead, taking Cao Jixiang with him, and Shi Heng opened the gate of Nangong, welcomed Zhu Qizhen out, and ascended the throne again. After the history changed, Xu Youzhen still played an exemplary role, but this time it was not the case. He took him back to the capital to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
Night, in Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Jianshen was lying on the dragon table copying copybooks, while Zhang Bao was watching from the side.
After writing a copybook, Zhu Jianshen put down the pen, looked at the words he had written, and shook his head. Although he could write calligraphy in his previous life, he was quite regular and unsystematic. Although he had changed his body, But he is still used to how to write, and it seems that he is destined not to be able to write as well as Zhu Jianshen, the real Chenghua Emperor in history.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, go to bed."
After Zhu Jianshen finished writing, Zhang Bao hurriedly said. ,
Zhu Jianshen nodded, then looked at Zhang Bao, and said thoughtfully: "It's been many days, it's time to draw a conclusion."
"Your Majesty, you are still thinking about the Supreme Emperor. Xu Youzhen's celestial phenomena are all nonsense. The court has already made a conclusion. If the Supreme Emperor comes back, how can you not return to the palace quickly? Your Majesty misses the Supreme Emperor so much and wants to come to the Supreme Emperor. Even in this world, I always miss His Majesty." Zhang Bao said quickly.
Hearing this, Zhu Jian smiled deeply, looked at Zhang Bao and said, "Yesterday, you just told me that the Empress Dowager promoted the Xu Qing family to the position of Yushi of Youdu. If you lied about nonsense, how could you not punish but reward?" Woolen cloth."
Zhu Jianshen's words left Zhang Bao speechless.
Seeing Zhang Bao deflated, Zhu Jianshen smiled again: "I dare not forget what Grandma Huang told me. As an emperor, the first priority is the common people, then the country, the country, and finally himself. Even if the emperor comes back, , I can face it calmly."
Zhu Jianshen went down the slope, stopped pretending, and showed his cards, I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Bao looked ecstatic after hearing Zhu Jianshen's words.
"Your Majesty is able to figure it out. It is a blessing to all people and a blessing to the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Jianshen didn't say anything, but just turned his attention to the words he just wrote. What should come will always come, and what should be solved will always be solved.
"Is the wind blowing...?"
