It took only five days for the Holy Lord to leave Beijing, but Wang Shouren felt that it was as long as five months later. It was necessary to keep the family, and it was indeed difficult to keep the family. Xie Xianyi had always said that there were few traditional scholars, but now it seems that this is true.

Seeing the Holy Lord going west, 80% of them never return. The ambition of the sect party increased, and the imperial party began to shake. Even Cao Yuan and Liu Yu, the backbone of the imperial party, have had frequent changes recently. The atmosphere between the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War suddenly became harmonious.

The military power in the capital was still controlled by Wang Shouren and Tang Bohu, so these people did not dare to make any big moves, but since there was a connection in private, small moves would naturally be missing, especially the Ministry of Revenue.

Zhengde often does not pass through the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War can do small things, so the Ministry of Revenue is different. In war, the army must take the lead before moving the food and grass. There are more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, so how can people eat horses and chew less?

The food and grass that the emperor brought when he left Beijing had emptied half of the Ministry of Revenue. Although the autumn grains in various places have been collected, many of them are still on the way; some have arrived in the capital and have not had time to enter the warehouse, so there is a great opportunity to make trouble.

As long as it is not in the warehouse, there is no grain in the warehouse. As for how to make the grain unable to enter the warehouse, isn't there any more ways? The people who are doing business are sick, the list is lost, and even the lock of the door is broken... In short, it is just a means of working hard and not working hard.

After Liu Yu was shaken, he turned a blind eye to this. Among the officials below, the backbone of the officials under him were brought to Tianjin by Yan Song, and many of the remaining ones were also fencemen. Seeing that the Shangshu was shaken, he naturally followed the trend.

Wang Shouren was also very troubled about this. It was easy to take down Liu Yu, but this was not his own problem. The entire capital city's officialdom was not optimistic about Zhengde's rise. Those who firmly supported the emperor were the students and the people of the academy. The proportion of officials was quite small, so he could only draw personnel from the academy to respond to the emergency.

Mr. Yangming was hailed as a saint in later generations. But he was not a real god, so naturally he would not know. According to the normal track of history, before the Yingzhou War began, the civil servants in the capital also dealt with Zhengde in this way.

Zhengde sent an order to return to Beijing. He asked the court to provide one million taels of silver as military pay. He increased morale before the war and as pension after the war. However, Grand Secretary Yang Tinghe refused in every way, but refused to give it to him. Later, he was forced to give Zhengde a 50% discount. Then he was sent to the place and was lost several times on the way. The war in history started in a shortage of wages and food.

Now, to a certain extent, it is also a historical necessity, and it is also the scholars' re-use of the old tricks. Anyway, the emperor will not turn back to settle the accounts, and what is dragged on is the emperor's leg.

Although the situation is different now and there is no way to blatantly reject the emperor's will, everyone can make small moves. Although Wang Boan is very strategic, after all, he is not the decisive plague god. Faced with the current situation where the law does not blame the public, he can only rely on the students of the academy to make up for the leaks.

Without fear, the scholars were very happy to poach. There were no foolish monarchs or plague gods. The sky in the capital had turned blue. How beautiful life was!

What changed this situation was a fast horse. The messenger entered the city from Yongding Gate and went directly to Xiyuan. According to the principle of proximity, the political group was usually in Xiyuan, so Wang Shouren, Tang Bohu and others often worked here. The Military Equipment Corporation has now completely become a technical institution and has long lost the functions of Xie Hong when he was in the capital.

Shortly after the messenger entered the West Garden, a shocking news blew across the capital like a bitter cold wind, stunned countless people. The plague god was back!

"What, you said the traitor is back, how is this possible? How could he come back so soon? Wang Mingzhong's letter..."

Wang Jiao was rummaging on the bookcase in a hurry. It took him a long time to flip through a secret corner because of panic. He twisted his sleeves, wiped his eyes, and rubbed them again. Finally, he shouted in grief and anger: "It was obvious that he was still in Ningbo in early September, but now it is only the end of September. How could he appear in the capital? Could he fly?"

"But Master Ge, he really came back and brought thousands of cavalry. He is now outside the southern city. Alas!" Zhou Jing didn't know what to say, and he didn't understand. Not to mention how the other party came back, just talking about why the other party suddenly returned to Beijing is already a headache.

You know, the police from Xuanfu was only transmitted to the capital in mid-September. Now, even if Fei Ge delivers a letter, at most it will be transmitted to Ningbo. You know, this is thousands of miles away!

Xie Hong shouldn't have received the news, nor should he have rushed back from Ningbo within a month, but he fell from the sky and got thousands of cavalry from somewhere! The taste here is really complicated.

The already full confidence suddenly cast a shadow on it, and Zhou Jing began to regret it again. This person could not judge it by common sense, and he should not have wade into this muddy water.

"Didn't we have reached a conclusion before? If this person can travel between Japan and Lushun within a month, and then to Ningbo, there must be some unknown Clipper. As for why he returned, maybe it was because of the Jiangnan incident? No matter what, he can't change anything when he comes back."

Wang Qiong was very calm, and his analysis was also very reasonable: "From the time, the emperor should have arrived at Juyong Pass now. Even if he immediately chased him with a light cavalry, it would be too late. Besides, since that man led his troops to Beijing, he must have planned to reinforce, rather than persuade the emperor to turn back. As the old man predicted, he should know that it was difficult to persuade the emperor, so he could only make other plans."

"Dehua's words are reasonable, but since this person is back, it's better to restrain himself. Don't let him catch the handle and take the opportunity to start a killing. Since he wants to reinforce Xuanzhen, after he leaves..." As he said that, Yang Tinghe also found that he had no confidence in saying this.

Although the two of them are like each other and are sworn brothers, the styles of the two brothers are essentially different. One is to do whatever they think of, and to be very enthusiastic; the other is to do it carefully and then do it, which is so scheming, like an old man over the age of seventy.

Zhengde rushed to the imperial guards in person, leaving only a place where Wang Bo'an was in charge, leaving a lot of gaps for everyone. But it was not so easy in front of Xie Hong. With this man's style, if he didn't arrange his retreat properly, how could he be at ease to serve the king?

"Gei Master, it's bad, it's bad..." He was afraid of anything. Before several old men could digest the bad news that Xie Hong fell from the sky, the person who reported the news came again. He could already know what the news was without seeing anyone.

"All sirs are here, why are you calling? Are you still in a state of mind?" Wang Yang was in a bad mood. At this time, he was even more angry when the servants in the mansion shouted. I am still alive and will be completed soon. What's wrong with it?

"Yes, Master, I deserve to die, but..." The reporter quickly accused him of guilt and looked at him with an inquiry. He hurriedly said, "A team of cavalry came from Guangqumen. I heard that he came from Jizhen..."

"What?" Wang Yang was shocked. It was really a disaster. The soldiers and horses in Ji Town came so quickly. "Is they attacking the banner of that military general? How many people are there?"

"There is a Korean character on the banner, and the number of people is about 5,000."

"General Han Fu?" Everyone looked at each other, and although they were not without doubt, they still breathed a little relieved.

The worst result now is that Xie Hong lightly rode on the road to chase Zhengde. After stabilizing the latter, he dispatched troops from Jizhen to launch a large-scale support. In this way, although the capital of the capital will be more empty and more conducive to the progress of other plans, it will have an impact on the most important part of the plan, which may lead to the emperor's triumphant return.

For this reason, they also made many arrangements in secret, but the effect is hard to say. Now that Jizhen soldiers have arrived, there are only 5,000 cavalrymen, which means that their arrangements have taken effect. Otherwise, how could there be only such a small number of troops in Jizhen?

"The last general was unable to command the troops, and the support was too late, and there were not enough troops. Please ask the marquis to sue him."

"Brother Xie, you entrusted me with the great affairs of government assistance, but Brother Yu failed your hope. The emperor cannot dissuade the emperor from taking this risky move, and the subordinate cannot comfort the capital and ensure smooth logistics. Brother Yu is really ashamed."

Recently, it seems that it is particularly popular to apologize for the crime. Xie Hong has settled Liu Liu on the way, but as soon as he entered Xiyuan, two more came towards him.

Like the officials in the capital, the new policy made many military generals in Jizhen feel that their interests were damaged and they were a little dissatisfied. After Zhengde left the capital, many people ignored their children and nephews and refused to entrust Han Fu and the crows.

Those who refuse are not the majority. These people are used to the Tartars and know that the barbarians are powerful and are even more optimistic about Zhengde's personal expedition. Therefore, they are even more devoted to fighting Han Fu and Xie Hong behind Han Fu.

In normal times, they can use military orders to kill them, but since they are not even afraid of orders from the capital, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take any more intense actions.

But the three guards of Duoyan also had a reconnaissance. Seeing that they were going to take action, they were in trouble after receiving Xie Hong's military order. In the end, they had to adopt a compromise strategy. They left some people to ensure the safety of Jizhen and echoed Liaozhen. On the other hand, they gathered elite cavalry soldiers to meet in the capital.

So, when he saw Xie Hong, Han Fu felt very guilty.

Wang Shouren felt even more guilty than Han Fu. Except for the fact that the academy was still in good condition, he couldn't do anything else that Xie Hong asked him. It would be fine if he couldn't stop Zhengde, but he didn't even have good logistics. However, as soon as Xie Honggang entered Beijing, those restless people quickly became honest.

But the news came out and Xie Hong entered the city. In just half an hour, the total amount of grain entered the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue was even more than the previous few days.

The lost account books were also retrieved, the sick were cured, and the broken locks were repaired. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue completed the transformation at an unprecedented speed, which made Wang Shouren dumbfounded, and then shook his head and sighed.

It’s so annoying to others! It’s okay to be talented or something, but this deterrent power is nothing I say, but I can’t compare to Brother Xie. Well, only the evil ones will be beaten by the evil ones. That’s what I said. (To be continued)
