Why did the emperor rebel?

Just when Zhu Qiyu was hesitating, Wynn came forward to report in a low voice and said.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Changping asks to see you."

Yang Hong?

Zhu Qiyu put down the memorabilia in his hand, and couldn't help being a little puzzled. Since Yang Jie returned to Beijing, Yang Hong's health has become worse and worse. In the past two months, it is said that he has been unable to get out of bed. Half a month ago, he deliberately The imperial doctor was sent there, and the report said that the serious illness is hard to get up, and the situation is probably not optimistic.

During these days, Yang Hong didn't even go to court, why did he suddenly come into the palace?

"Call me in..."

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Qiyu still gave an order.

Anyway, you'll know it when you see it.

"Veteran Yang Hong, greet Your Majesty!"

Speaking of which, Zhu Qiyu hadn't seen Yang Hong for a long time. In my impression, the last time I saw him, although he was sick, his body was still tall and straight.

But now, in just two or three months, his face has quickly become haggard, and he has lost a lot of weight. The official uniform that originally fit him now looks quite lenient. Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, and said in a warm voice.

"You don't need to be too polite, Marquis Yang, please get up, come and give me a seat for Marquis Yang!"

The waiter at the bottom hurriedly moved a chair with armrests, and then helped Yang Hong to sit down.

Afterwards, Zhu Qiyu first cared about Yang Hong's body, and then asked.

"It's cold in winter, Marquis Yang still needs to take care of his health. If there's anything wrong, just hand over a memorial. Why do you need to enter the palace in person?"

"Cough cough..."

There was a trace of blood on Yang Hong's face, and he gently held the back of the chair with his hands, and said.

"Thank you for your Majesty's concern. The old minister came here today to ask for His Majesty's grace."

Perhaps because of his poor health, Yang Hong's voice was a little weak at the moment, so he didn't exchange too many pleasantries, and explained his purpose of coming straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu's face was slightly solemn, and said.

"Yanghou has served the country all his life, and has made countless military exploits. The Yang family has been a loyal minister for generations. If there is anything, Yanghou can just say it, and I will agree."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Hong's face was also a little moved.

Before he said what it was, the emperor agreed first, which shows his great kindness to the Yang family.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Standing up while leaning on the armrest, Yang Hong fell to his knees and said.

"My son, Yang Jun, was pardoned by His Majesty before and returned to the army. I heard that His Majesty intends to use troops along the coast. Therefore, I want to ask for a favor for him. I implore Your Majesty to allow him to go out with the army."

"Yang Jun?"

Zhu Qiyu frowned, a little hesitant.

After the incident at the border, Yang Xin asked himself to be transferred to Guangxi, where he served under the tent of Anyuan Hou Liu Pu, while Yang Jun was left in the capital and took a idle job in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, and he was not actually in the army. middle office.

It's not that Zhu Qiyu intends to suppress him, but that Yang Jun committed a serious crime by killing an official of the imperial court without authorization. Later, although Yang Jie was pardoned because of his meritorious service in Yibei, after all, Yang Jie's affairs cannot be made public. .

Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, Yang Jun's pardon is already a great grace, and it would be inappropriate to entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

However, looking at Yang Hong's earnest eyes below, he sighed, nodded slightly, and said.

"Since Yang Hou has this intention, let Yang Jun act as the left deputy general and go out with the army."

"However, the army will go out for a few months, and it will last for a year or two. If Yang Jun goes out to fight, it may be difficult for him to return to Beijing for a while, Yang Hou..."

At this point, Zhu Qiyu also stopped, not knowing what to say for a moment.

There was one reason why Yang Jun was kept in the capital at the beginning. It was because of Yang Hong's health. According to the imperial physician, Yang Hong's illness was almost at the point of exhaustion. About half a year.

Sending Yang Jun out at this time means not only that he may not see Yang Hong for the last time, but even if the battle is critical, he may not even be able to return to Beijing in time for the funeral.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion, but this is also the purpose of my visit today."

Seeing the Son of Heaven hesitant to speak, Yang Hong seemed extremely calm, said.

"Among my nephews and nephews, Yang Xin is the most talented. Compared with him, Yang Jun has a bad temper. I know him well. If he is detained in the capital for a long time, there may be troubles. As the Yang family Man, riding a horse on the battlefield and fighting on one side is his destination."

"Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty for permission. If there is a war in the future, you can send Yang Jun to fight first. Even if it is just for an ordinary general, as long as you can serve the country, you will be worthy of the name of the Yang family."

I see……

Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered, and he vaguely understood what Yang Hong meant.

This veteran, this is making arrangements for his death. Because of Yang Jie's actions at the border, the Yang family cannot continue to stay at the border for at least two generations. For this reason, both Yang Xin and Yang Neng were transferred to the border. Arrived in Guangxi.

Now, Yang Hong felt that time was running out, so he began to think about the future of his two remaining children.

Needless to say, Yang Jie is a legitimate son. Although he is not in good health, after Yang Hong's death, the title must belong to him, so he must stay in the capital.

But Yang Jun is different, he has a violent personality, and he has no city, if he stays in the court, it may not be a good thing.

Therefore, for Yang Hong, letting Yang Jun go out to guard is the best choice.

Now, the imperial court wants to use troops against the coast, and he can just go out with the army. After this battle is over, Yang Jun can at least accumulate some experience in naval warfare. If he can stay on the coast after the war, then he has found another way out...

After thinking about this, Zhu Qiyu sighed, nodded slightly, and said.

"Since that's the case, I agree."

"Sir, thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

Seeing that the Son of Heaven agreed, Yang Hong seemed to let go of something on his mind, heaved a sigh of relief, and paid homage.

Seeing Yang Hong staggering out of the palace gate, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help feeling a little sad.

He knew that it was very possible that this was the last time he saw Yang Hong.

Veteran's twilight is inevitable after all...

He let out a long breath, thought for a moment, and then ordered.

"Wynn, you go to the cabinet to pass the decree, and appoint Zhang Yu, the governor of the military governor's mansion, as the general who will conquer the Japanese. He will lead the army to go out.

In the end, Zhu Qiyu decided to send Zhang Min to the expedition.

It is indeed a good opportunity for Wuxing to play, but it is a pity that the timing is not right. If the time is changed, Zhu Qiyu may choose Wuxing, but in the next year, the court will face great challenges, so At this time, it is still important to focus on stability.

In today's Nangong, the real unstable factor, to put it bluntly, is only Zhang Xiang. Therefore, in order to let Zhu Qizhen live in peace, he can only suppress Wuxing first.

What's more, although Zhang Wei's combat power is not very good, but Yang Jun is a fierce general. Although compared with Yang Xin, he has many shortcomings, but if he is not allowed to dominate the battle situation, it is still enough to charge the battle. of.

Yu Qian was able to grasp the situation of the battle. Judging from the information Xu Youzhen handed over, Zhang Min had a very clear understanding of himself, and this combination was enough to guarantee victory in this expedition.

Of course, Dingguo's government released goodwill, and it can't be unresponsive. Letting Wu Xing take charge of the Chinese army's governor's house is considered a promotion, but compared with letting him go to the battle, Wu Xing has no title and is in charge of the right army The Dudu's Mansion is already very reluctant, and if it is also in charge of the Chinese Army's Dudu's Mansion, I am afraid that in the future, the Dingguo Mansion will no longer be able to continue to take care of itself.

…………

The snow is falling one after another, and it will soon be the end of the year.

What is different from previous years is that this year's New Year's Day, the entire court has not had a good year. There is no way, the emperor issued an imperial decree, and the seal will be issued after the year. The army will set off. Generals, labor, and officers and soldiers all need to be arranged in advance, so most of the yamen were still busy until the day before the seal.

On the contrary, in the capital, the atmosphere of the new year is getting stronger and stronger. Unlike previous years, the Ministry of Rites is also very busy this year.

After a year of desertion, the Ten Princes' Mansion started to become lively again. Unlike last year's short notice, the number of vassal princes who came to Beijing under the pretext of visiting relatives this year more than doubled compared to last year.

You know, for most of the vassals, they are not short of money. Compared with the life of being trapped in the prefecture and wanting to go out to hunt, although the journey to Beijing cannot be said to be a mountain tour Playing with water is also a rare opportunity.

Of course, in addition to this, they have another important purpose, which is...

"Your Majesty, so far, Tang Wang, Shen Wang, Qing Wang, Liao Wang and other four vassal kings have all signed up, requesting to add Huangzhuang in the vassal land, do you think?"

In the Wenhua Palace, the chubby Prince Min sat at the bottom, holding a book of memorials in his hand, asking the servant next to him to hand it over, and then said with a smile.

Contrary to Zhu Qiyu's expectation, although many Huangzhuang had been affected by the disaster in Jiangxi last year, the enthusiasm of the vassal kings for opening Huangzhuang was still very high.

You must know that at the beginning of the imperial court Xu Jianhuangzhuang's vassal land, there were only a few vassal kings who came to Beijing last time, and the rest of the vassal lands were either waiting and watching, or they got the news too late and didn't follow up.

Now, the Huangzhuang of those vassal lands have been opened one after another, and finally there are other vassal kings who can't help it.

One of the purposes of so many vassal kings coming to Beijing this year is to ask for the same grace.

From Zhu Qiyu's point of view, he would definitely not refuse. However, after looking at the memorandum that was handed over just now, he still felt that although the vassal kings had a strong will, they were still a little cautious when they actually acted.

With this in mind, he opened his mouth and said.

"It doesn't matter. Huangzhuang is a matter of benefiting the people. I will let the household department arrange it later."

"I heard that the king of Zhennan brought his concubine to the capital yesterday?"

Now, Zhu Huixun is in charge of the clan's mansion, which means that he has settled his family in the capital, and all the affairs of the feudal land are handed over to Zhu Yinxun to take care of.

Therefore, ever since Zhu Yinxun had the intention to visit relatives in the capital last year, whenever he had the chance, he would return to the capital to report to Zhu Huixun on the affairs of the feudal domain.

The smile on Zhu Huixun's face grew wider when he mentioned his own son, and said.

"Your Majesty, please ask. It is true that Yinji just arrived in the capital. He planned to go to the palace to meet His Majesty after settling down yesterday, but unexpectedly, after arriving at the mansion, his daughter-in-law suddenly felt a little dizzy and asked the doctor to come over for a diagnosis. , only to find out that she was three months pregnant..."

"This child is really too careless. My daughter-in-law didn't even know she was pregnant. The journey was exhausting..."

Even though he said so, the smile on the face of Prince Min did not diminish at all.

Now Zhu Yinxuan has only one daughter, who was born in a concubine's house. Now, his concubine is pregnant. If he gives birth to a son, he will be the legitimate eldest son. In this way, the next generation of the Min family will be How could Zhu Huixun be unhappy when his possessions were settled?
What he said seemed to be a complaint, but in fact it was more joy.

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu also showed a smile on his face, and ordered.

"That's really too careless, Wynn, I'll send two imperial doctors there to give Zhennan a good diagnosis."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Huixun quickly thanked him.

However, Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said.

"Since Princess Zhennan is pregnant, she must also need someone to take care of her. Moreover, the journey is tiring, and she needs rest."

"In this way, I asked the queen to allocate forty palace servants from the palace to serve in the mansion. In addition, the house next to King Min's mansion was also given to King Zhennan for the concubine of Zhennan to have a baby. .”

Ah this...

Hearing this, Zhu Huixun was slightly taken aback, hesitant to speak.

He was not surprised that the emperor would reward him, even the palace servants, but this house...

According to the usual practice, the clan vassals now all have to live in the ten princes' mansion. Although it is said that because of the establishment of the Zongxue, many Zongxue children have purchased houses outside, but that is a private behavior after all.

Strictly speaking, the clan cannot set up a palace in the capital, even if it is a separate courtyard, it is not in compliance with the rules.

However, the Son of Heaven has now bestowed a palace man's house, which obviously means that Zhu Yinyu should live in another mansion.

If it is really for the concubine of Zhennan Princess, it would be too much of a fuss. The Min Palace is a serious palace regulation, let alone live in Zhu Yinyu and his wife, even if he moved his own county palace here , can also fit.

In this way, the emperor may have other intentions in this move.

Thinking of the few memorials he had just handed over, Zhu Huixun had a plan in his mind, and bowed his head.

"I obey the order, please rest assured, Your Majesty, in a few days, I will let Yin Xun accompany the princess to the other courtyard for rest and confinement."

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu nodded in satisfaction and said.

"Well, my uncle has worked hard for the country. These days have been hard work. Now that the clans from all the prefectures have arrived in the capital, I'm afraid it will be busy during the New Year's Eve."

"Princess Zhennan is pregnant for the first time, so she must be more careful. Later, I will let the two imperial doctors live in the mansion and take care of her..."
