Chapter 339 The turbulent waves of the capital

The next day, Sun Chengzong came to Zhu Xu's side room.

Cao Huachun stood by the door and smiled and said, "Sir, it's too early, the emperor hasn't woken up yet."

Sun Chengzong also smiled. Zhu Xu drank a little too much yesterday. It was the first time he was drunk. He raised his hand to Cao Huachun and said, "The emperor is awake, so he still has to trouble my father-in-law to notify me."

Cao Huachun nodded with a smile.

Liaodong is in chaos and there are too many things to do, especially when it comes to military system reform, which Sun Chengzong cannot make decisions.

It was not until the afternoon that Zhu Xu woke up from his dizziness.

Li Jieyu held a bowl of medicine and whispered to Zhu Xu, "Master, drink some sobering medicine."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and rubbed his temples, "I won't drink when I wake up, I'll take a shower first."

After taking a comfortable hot bath, Zhu Xu woke up completely and came to the lobby with a refreshing spirit.

When Cao Wenzhao heard the news, he rushed back from outside and said hurriedly: "Master, Lin Danhan is defeated. I heard that most of the horses have been lost."

Zhu Xu was not surprised, and smiled and shook his head, "Well, nothing unexpected."

In the blink of an eye, Sun Chengzong, Zhao Rujiao and others also appeared in the lobby, looking at Zhu Xu with an almost hot look.

Zhao Rujiao was quite calm and said in a summary: "Emperor, after this battle, both the Jiannu and the Tatar tribes were unable to harass our Ming Dynasty for a short time."

Zhu Xu also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, smiled slightly, and refused to comment.

Who can know that the worst disaster has just begun.

However, the power of this battle has not yet been revealed. It will not take long before the entire north will be trembling at it, which will indeed make the border stable for a while.

Sun Chengzong said: "Emperor, these are some suggestions from me for Liaodong. Please read them by the emperor."

Zhu Xu took it, turned it over and watched slowly.

Cao Wenzhao, Man Gui and others were not worried. They did not belong to the Liaodong clan, but Zhao Rujiao, Wu Xiang and others became nervous.

Zhu Xu looked at it and mentioned the rewards for this battle, including the Liaodong military system modeling the reform of Guannei, the construction of new Liaodong towns, the reclaiming of wasteland, etc.

Zhao led the sect to be the right governor, Zuo Dashou, Zhu Mei, Zuo Fu and others added to the sect to be the general, and Yin Qiao one son, each with several silver...

Zhu Xu looked at it for a while and saw that the people below were quite nervous. He immediately smiled and said, "Well, Master Sun's suggestions are very good. I have no objection to the reward. However, I have to think about the military reform. I will write a letter to the Ministry of War first and ask the General Staff to discuss it."

Unlike the Guanzhong, Liaodong must be cautious in reforms, and there must be no situation where the mountain is beyond the control of the court or Zhu Xu.

Sun Chengzong thought about it and felt that this should be the case. Then he discussed how to deal with the prisoners, when to return to Beijing, which personnel should be brought back, and how to arrange them in Liaodong in the future, etc., and so on.

Three days later.

Zhu Xu took Cao Wenzhao's Hu Ben Army to cross Shanhaiguan and return to Beijing with great fanfare.

The emperor personally led the army to fight and the news that he returned from a great victory swept across the capital like a storm.

Countless people grew up and were stunned and unbelievable. But thinking about the emperor's "missing" in recent times, they suddenly realized it!

With the actions of Empress Dowager Zhang and some people in the capital of Pingwang, more and more people approached the emperor Zhu Xu, whether they were those who benefited or lost in Zhu Xu's restructuring.

Zhu Xu made public news that his direct descendants also began to build momentum.

The Sili Supervisor issued an order to convene supervision from all over the country, monitor eunuchs to return to Beijing, and conduct a "report".

The households and officials of the six ministries were dispatched on a large scale, and through discussions, they summoned people involved in the court and the country, drank tea and talked about the national affairs, and drew big cakes.

Then the other four ministries also received orders from the Silijian, and in the same way, almost all the officials of the government and opposition in the capital were caught in one go.

The Governor's General Office also sent a message to various places, requiring the vassal kings and princes stranded from all over the country to enter the capital and moved their families into the capital.

The various yamen in the capital were like a huge machine that was rotating rapidly, without deliberately singing or praising anything, but everyone knew that the emperor was the will of the people and the general trend was like a flood breaking a dam, unstoppable!

Some people are happy, others are unhappy.

Inside Wen Zhao Pavilion.

Zhu Youjian sat at the top of the lobby, his expression a little dazed, and the disbelief in his eyes turned into a helplessness.

He thought Zhu Xu had really calmed down and studied with peace of mind, but he didn't expect that he had gone to the dangerous Liaodong and achieved such a great victory!

The same is true for Qian Longxi and others. They have achieved a lot of "victories" during this period, and their power is approaching them step by step, but today, everything has gone into nothing!

The group of people were very disappointed, and the lobby was covered with pressure that made them breathless.

Suddenly, Shi Fenglai looked shocked and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Yang Lian and others can report?"

Everyone was stunned and turned to look at Shi Feng. Then Qian Longxi's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Prince, hurry up, you must stop it. If Yang Lian's memorial is in the hands of King Ping, it will be a big trouble!"

Zhu Youjian was still a little dazed and suddenly woke up. He thought of the previous incident about "The Three Dynasties"!

When Zhu Xu returned with great victory and his reputation was the most prosperous, they would definitely face the most severe blow if they made such a barrier!

Zhu Youjian stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice, "I'll go to the Governor's Court immediately."

The Governor's Court was almost opposite the Wen Zhao Pavilion, and Zhu Youjian hurried over. No matter what, he could not let this memorial enter Zhu Xu's eyes.

Similarly, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others were also worried.

Gu Dazhang, Wei Dazhong and others all came to Yang's mansion again, all of whom were worried.

Wei Dazhong said: "Brother Yang, the emperor is young and willful. This time he happened to encounter a great victory in Liaodong, and his prestige will definitely increase greatly. I am afraid..."

No one else spoke, and Wei Dazhong could understand what was implied.

The emperor has never listened to others. No matter how many impeachments he had, he would ignore the memorials of the exhortation. Now that he has such great achievements, he is afraid he will become more and more domineering. The Ming Dynasty... will be "many disasters and many difficulties."

Zuo Guangdou was not worried about the future, but instead looked at him and said, "Brother Yang, can that memorial be submitted to the Governor's Office?"

Everyone felt cold when they thought of this. It was not wrong to describe Xiong Tingbi as the biggest hero in Liaodong, but the emperor was there, so it would be a different matter! Regardless of whether he had done his best or not, the greatest credit could only be the emperor!

Yang Lian's eyes changed and he said, "I submitted it the day before yesterday. Now, I may have been in the Sili Supervisor!"

The hearts of a group of people were trembling. They could all know that the emperor had no good impression of Donglin. In addition to Yang Lian, the "imperial master", he could barely stand in the court. If he had such an excuse, Yang Lian would be implicated and resigned and returned home!

If this is the case, Donglin will completely decline!

Zuo Guangdou looked solemn and said, "Everyone, you must not sit still and wait for death. You must find a way to remedy it!"

Gu Dazhang and others' brows were twisted into the character "Sichuan". The so-called "Simple" in the Emperor's Heart. Once the emperor remembers it in his heart, it is not a simple remedy!

Wei Dazhong's face changed several times, and he looked at Yang Lian suddenly and said, "Brother Yang, was Empress Dowager Zhang who asked you to be the emperor teacher?"

Yang Lian's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Wei, are you asking me to go to the Queen Mother to plead with me?"

Wei Dazhong shook his head and said, "It's not the Queen Mother, it's Duke Zhang. If you ask Duke Zhang to come forward, the effect will definitely be stronger than that of Queen Mother Zhang!"

Yang Lian was also very kind and understood, and said, "Okay, I'll go to the Duke's Mansion now."

Wei Dazhong said again: "It's not you, but all the deputy commanders and above of the Censorate will go. After that, you will also go to see Fu Changzong!"

Yang Lian understood and glanced at the few people, and then walked away.

Zuo Guangdou suddenly grabbed him and said, "Brother Yang, will the court impose a general amnesty for this great victory?"

Yang Lian and others were stunned. Logically speaking, the new emperor ascended the throne and would have been amnesty for the whole world, but the decree had not been issued for a long time. This time, if someone reported the memorial, it might be passed.

But this kind of thing doesn't matter to them unless some people who are not easy to rescue are in prison.

Wei Dazhong suddenly understood and said, "Is it for Brother Wang?"

The ‘Brother Wang’ in Wei Dazhong’s mouth refers to Wang Wenyan, the most powerful think tank of the Donglin Party!

Zuo Guangdou shook his head and said, "It's not just Brother Wang, but Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong."

Gu Dazhang and others immediately understood that they were a little bit alone and needed help! The only ones who could help them were Zhao Nanxing and others who were still in prison.

Yang Lian pondered and said, "Okay, I will find a way to do this."

It is not that easy to release Zhao Nanxing, but Zhu Xu, who returned home with great victory, agreed.

Yang Lian knew that he could not catch him back and found a way to remedy it. King Xin came to the Governor's Office. The King Ping, who was on duty, took him in with a smile.

King Ping looked harmless and said, "Why is King Xin free to see the emperor's uncle? Although we are opposite each other, there are really few opportunities to meet."

Zhu Youjian looked at King Ping and knew that the emperor's uncle was not as 'idiot' as he looked. He smiled indifferently and said, "Uncle Yang Lian's previous memorial about Xiong Tingbi is still there?"

King Ping did not hesitate for almost a second and said, "Oh, that's the one I sent to the Silijian yesterday, and then sent it to the emperor in an urgent manner for eight hundred miles."

Zhu Youjian's face changed, he smiled stiffly, and stood up and said, "Uncle Xie, I have something to do..."

Before he finished speaking, King Ping threw the memorial book from his sleeve on the table and landed it in front of Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian picked it up and looked at it, his face changed slightly. He looked at King Ping and said in surprise: "Uncle..."

King Ping said lightly: "I just pretend that I didn't see this memorial."

Zhu Youjian breathed a sigh of relief, took the memorial and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yujian."

King Ping was indifferent and picked up the tea cup and drank tea silently.

Zhu Youjian didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly left with the memorial.

King Ping saw Zhu Youjian leave, sighed softly, shook his head and said to himself, "After all, it's much worse than the emperor. After all, this memorial was entered into the Governor's Office from Tongzheng Envoy. Do you really think it's okay to take the memorial from me?"

The King of Lu came out of it and smiled and said, "Prince, even if the Tongzheng Envoy Secretary is kept silent, the Emperor should have known it a long time ago, right?"

King Ping blinked, as if he had heard nothing, and muttered to himself: "I haven't hunted for a long time. I wonder if the emperor will go out of the city to hunt when he comes back this time?"

Just as King Ping was muttering, a letter sent from the British Duke's Mansion went straight to He/Nan, Luo/Yang through the post station.

The person who receives the letter is the King of Blessings.

He was advised to enter Beijing.
