The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chang Feng smiled and said, "This little brother is right! Take the emperor's money, listen to the emperor's words and go back to enjoy a peaceful life. That is loyalty to the emperor!"

"Whoever refuses to leave the regiment camp and follows Jiang Bin to cause chaos will have his entire family killed by the Imperial Guards!"

All the soldiers present expressed their opinions: "I am willing to take the silver too."

"I would like that too."

"We all do!"

The morale of the soldiers had collapsed, and the generals were naturally persuaded.

One of the commanding officers bravely asked, "Old Lord, are you telling the truth? Will everyone in our transferred local positions be promoted three levels?"

Chang Feng said: "This is an imperial decree! How can it be false? You don't believe it, right? Come on, please invite Wang Bu Tang!"

In order to intimidate this group of thugs, Chang Feng actually brought in the Minister of War Wang Qiong.

Wang Qiong led a dozen officials from the Ministry of War to the crowd.

Wang Qiong said: "The imperial edict is real! If anyone doesn't believe it, I can issue him a commission to be transferred to a local garrison right now! Once it's issued, I will stamp it with the seal of the Xia official of the Ministry of War!"

Jiang Bin was furious: "Brothers, don't listen to their nonsense! Soldiers who lay down their weapons will become lambs to be slaughtered!"

Chang Feng laughed loudly toward the sky: "Hahaha!"

Jiang Bin asked fiercely: "Mr. Chang, what are you laughing at?"

Chang Feng said, "I laugh at your stubbornness and your audacity. At this point, you are still thinking of rebelling? You want your fellow comrades to be buried with you?"

"My fellow soldiers! I, Chang Feng, don't want the credit for capturing Jiang Bin, and neither do the factory guards! Whoever can capture him alive will be promoted four ranks! The highest rank will be made a baron! This is also the emperor's decree!"

As soon as this "imperial edict" was issued, Jiang Bin's trusted governor Zhang Hong was the first to draw his sword and put it across Jiang Bin's neck: "Jiang Bin, I have long seen that you have rebellious intentions. The reason why I have been pretending to be nice to you is to take action at the critical moment and smash your rebellious conspiracy. Save the court and the people from danger!"

Jiang Bin cursed: "You bastard! Zhang Hong, you betrayed me?"

Zhang Hong cursed back: "You bastard, how dare a little bug covet the country? I have never been loyal to you, how can I talk about betrayal? Old Marquis, I have captured Jiang Bin, can I make him a baron?"

Chang Feng smiled and said, "Of course!"

Jiang Bin suddenly thought of a loophole: "I am the emperor's adopted son, the imperial court's Pinglu Earl, the deputy general of Zhengnan, and the commander-in-chief of the four towns of Xuanfu, Datong, Liaodong, and Yansui! You need the emperor's order to arrest me! Chang Feng, you want to arrest me, where is your order?"

Chang Feng thought: Oh no!
He came in a hurry, and Yang Tinghe only wrote him an "imperial edict" to disband the regiment, but did not write an "imperial edict" to arrest Jiang Bin.

This was not a problem for Chang Feng. Chang Feng smiled and said, "Who said I went to the Xishan camp to catch you? I came to invite you! The emperor has recovered, and the court is holding a ceremony to thank the gods of heaven and earth. As the emperor's adopted son, how can you not participate? I am inviting you to attend the ceremony to thank the gods!"

"Come on, left and right. Invite Marshal Jiang into the official sedan chair! Be careful with your guards!"

Basha stepped forward: "Understood! Master Jiang, please come in!"

Jiang Bin closed his eyes in despair: "If I had known this would happen, I should have done it in Jiangnan."

Chang Feng asked: "What should we do?" Jiang Bin responded: "In Jiangnan, we should look for Zhang Sanfeng and ask for the magic medicine!"

Chang Feng looked at Jiang Bin with a smile: "Marshal Jiang's loyalty to the emperor is truly evident to all! Okay, please get on the official sedan chair!"

Jiang Bin was captured, and the soldiers of the regiment surrendered. Chang Feng ordered You Jingwu: "We will bring out 8,000 factory guards. You will stay in the Xishan camp with 4,000 people to distribute the severance pay and supervise the generals and soldiers to receive the commissions and pay and leave the capital. I will take the other 4,000 people back to the city with Wang Laobutang to take over the garrison of the imperial palace."

Yang Tinghe and Chang Feng had previously agreed that Wuding Hou Guo Xun would lead the Five Cities Army to guard the capital, while Chang Feng would lead the Embroidered Uniform Guard to guard the palace.

Now that Jiang Bin's rebellion has been quelled and the mutiny has been aborted, it is time for Chang Feng to return to the palace to perform his duties and stand guard for the endangered Emperor Zhengde.

You Jingwu said: "Don't worry, foster father."

Chang Feng and Wang Qiong led four thousand Jinyiwei and marched back to the capital in a hurry.

To return to Beijing from the Xishan Camp, one must go through Xizhimen.

On March 14, the 16th year of the Zhengde reign, at 12:00 pm, Chang Feng arrived at Xizhimen, only to find that the gate was tightly closed.

Chang Feng praised Wang Qiong: "Wang Bu Tang, that Wuding Hou Guo Xun is a cautious man. Look, the gate of Xizhimen is tightly closed, and the city defense is solemn."

Wang Qiong nodded: "Yes. Guo Xun is different from other nobles. He is a man of practical purpose."

Chang Feng shouted towards the city gate: "I am the marquis of the imperial court, the temporary director of the factory guards, Chang Feng. Open the gate quickly and let us enter the city!"

Chang Feng never expected that a voice would come from the tower: "I am Liang Youren, the Imperial Censor of the Western City! Following the imperial decree of the Emperor and the military order of Marquis Wuding Guo Xun, I am leading the military department to guard the city gates. Within ten days, no one is allowed to enter or leave the nine gates of the capital! Especially you, old Marquis Chang!"

Chang Feng was dumbfounded!
Before the Zhengde Dynasty, the Wucheng Bingmasi was commanded by five civil officials, the five city patrol censors. However, Emperor Zhengde spared no effort to deprive the civil officials of their power over the years. One of the measures was that the Wucheng Bingmasi was commanded by military officials and the city patrol censors were no longer in charge.

Now the city inspector is in charge of the military department. There is only one possibility. As a noble, Wuding Marquis Guo Xun has sided with the civil officials, with Yang Tinghe!

Chang Feng was stabbed in the back!

Jiang Bin in the official sedan heard the censor's shout and reacted. He laughed and said, "Hahaha, Chang Feng, you fell into Yang Tinghe's trap, didn't you? It wasn't me, Jiang Bin, who was plotting a rebellion, but Yang Tinghe! All your guards ran out of the city to 'invite' me. Did the guards in the city all belong to Yang Tinghe? Wonderful! I didn't have a good ending, and neither did you, Chang Feng!"

Chang Feng still held out a glimmer of hope. He looked at Wang Qiong.

Wang Qiong shouted to Liang Yushi, "I am Wang Qiong, the Minister of War and the Prince's Grand Tutor. I order you to open the city gates immediately!"

Another person's voice came from the top of the city wall: "I am Wuding Hou Guo Xun! You are the Minister of War and the Prince's Grand Tutor Wang Qiong? Well, from now on, you are no longer the Minister of War and the Prince's Grand Tutor! According to the imperial decree, Wang Qiong is old and senile, and he is now dismissed from all official positions. The position of Minister of War will be taken over by Peng Ze! I decree!"

The new Minister of War, Peng Ze, was a Jinshi in the third year of Hongzhi's reign. After passing the imperial examination, he had been serving as an official in the local area. He was promoted to Beijing by Yang Tinghe.

Both sides kept saying that there was an "imperial edict". In fact, both sides knew that the emperor was no longer alive and the so-called "imperial edict" was a fake.

But because everyone had passed on the false decree, no one could reveal this.

Chang Feng was dumbfounded! He had not expected that Yang Tinghe would play a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He not only used Chang the Butcher to stop Jiang Bin's rebellion, but also transferred him and the factory guards away from the capital.

Now the capital is controlled by the Wucheng Bingmasi, and the Wucheng Bingmasi is controlled by Guo Xun, who has turned to Yang Tinghe.
Yang Tinghe truly used the emperor to control the princes! (End of this chapter)
