Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 360
As the saying goes, compassion does not command soldiers, so Xu Heng, Tao Jin, and Guo Chang have no choice.

If the siege is released and Jin Yiwei is allowed to escape, the Oirat warriors will follow suit.If the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was killed and injured by the Vala warriors as a result, who will bear the responsibility?

If the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion were allowed to join the battle group directly, the scene would be so crowded and chaotic, and the Jin Yiwei would be a burden, the result would only be an increase in the casualties of the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion.

These [-] cavalry battalions were reorganized from the elite of the Shaanxi frontier army, each of them experienced hundreds of battles and was exceptionally brave.Xu Heng could not bear to let these precious elites die in vain.

It can only be whoever caused the trouble, whoever cleans it up.

Tao Jin also had the same attitude, it was impossible to take the lives of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to die for Jin Yiwei.

In the battle for the title of Marquis of Wuding that year, Guo Chang was dismissed by Zhu Qizhen as a commander of Jinyiwei.So Guo Chang was often excluded in Jinyiwei, and now he really can't afford to work for this group of Jinyiwei.

Besides, [-] heavily armed Jinyiwei fought against [-] unarmed Oirat warriors, and even if they were robbed of their weapons, they were beaten back steadily.As far as this performance is concerned, don't blame others for not being willing to help.

The two emperors, hundreds of civil and military officials, tens of thousands of troops, and 10,000+ people watched more than 6000 people fight and fight for more than half an hour.

After all, Jin Yiwei had the upper hand in terms of numbers and equipment, and finally won.

Seeing that the riot was suppressed, Xu Heng turned to look at the emperor.

Zhu Qiyu nodded.

Xu Heng got the instruction, he stepped down from the high platform, commanded the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and put all the heads of all the Wala soldiers directly on the Jingguan platform.

Zhu Qizhen was also shocked when he saw this, and his younger brother and his cronies were also really ruthless.Some of the soldiers in Wala were killed in battle and some were wounded. Xu Heng killed them all without distinguishing between life and death.

Ma Liang, Yuan Bin, and Ha Ming, who were wounded in many places, were mixed up on the high platform, and they both fell down on the ground, pleading guilty to the second sage.

Zhu Qiyu didn't say anything, and respectfully asked the emperor's cronies, so he couldn't just pull them out and chop them up.

Zhu Qizhen didn't dare to open his mouth to make a decision easily.

The atmosphere fell into embarrassment.

After being stunned for a while, Zhu Qizhen asked, "How are Hu Aiqing and the others?"

Ma Liang replied with tears in his voice: "Your Majesty, the last general deserves to die for his crimes. All four ministers died for the country."

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen's blood surged up, he suddenly felt dizzy, and almost passed out.

I couldn't believe it, the auxiliary minister who had been with me for so many years died for the country inexplicably?

As for the [-] warriors in Wala, why did they suddenly riot?For a moment, Zhu Qizhen couldn't figure it out.

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a long time at the side, but now he has figured it out a little bit: Ah Lazai has worked as a prefect for so long under Yexian, and he also has a large number of cronies.

And Yexian always selects the elite of various tribes to his command, so many of Yexian's pro-army are loyal to Ah'la.

Now that Boyan Timur has brought a mission to Beijing, he is about to restore the right to pay tribute. This is what Ala doesn't want to see, so he will definitely wait for the opportunity to destroy it.

The dozens of people who led the riot just now were either instigated by A's cronies who were hidden among them, or simply these rioters themselves were dead soldiers secretly planted by A's.

The first in history was to be defeated by Ala, chased and beheaded.It can be seen that the strength of Ara is absolutely not to be underestimated.Arranging a deadly riot and blaming the Yexian tribe is not an impossible plan.

Not long after, the bodies of Hu Wei, Chen Yi, Li Xian, and Li Shi were carried over.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at it hastily, then sat back on the dragon chair with a gloomy face.

Zhu Qizhen stopped for a long time, feeling sad and unable to control himself.

After Wang Ji, Yu Qian and others comforted him for a long time, Zhu Qizhen's mood just calmed down a little, and he ordered the Ministry of Rites to properly handle the funeral affairs of the four of them.

Yu Shiyue, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, quickly took the decree and led the officials of the Ministry of Rites to perform their duties and deal with the aftermath in an orderly manner.

The process of welcoming the driver had to continue, so Chen Xun, Wang Wen and others respectfully invited the two saints to enter the city.

So the two brothers gave way again, with Zhu Qizhen's dragon chariot in front and Zhu Qiyu's car behind, and they returned to the city smoothly under the protection of three layers of personal guards.

The guard of honor of the Son of Heaven passed through Xi'an Gate, Xihua Gate, and Fengtian Gate, and stopped at the square in front of Fengtian Hall.

Mayor Zhu Qi sighed, and finally returned to the Forbidden City that he had been thinking about day and night.

Although Zhu Qiyu, the younger brother, avoids the Forbidden City like a snake and a scorpion, but Zhu Qizhen, the older brother, loves the Forbidden City to death.

It's a pity that Zhu Qizhen was stunned as soon as he got out of the chariot. The majestic and majestic Fengtian Hall was burned to a piece of scorched earth.

Although Zhu Qizhen already knew that most of the Forbidden City had been burned down by several fires, seeing it was better than hearing it.

Seeing this tragic situation with his own eyes, Zhu Qizhen still couldn't help feeling sad and regretful.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu laughed secretly in his heart, walking from here to the Yinghua Palace where the Queen Mother lived, there was something that made my good brother even more angry along the way.

However, he smiled inwardly, but Zhu Qiyu didn't show it on his face, but personally helped Zhu Qizhen get off the car, showing the utmost respect of brothers and sisters.

Next, the civil and military officials took a rest in Wenzhao Pavilion and Wucheng Pavilion, waiting for the banquet.

Zhu Qiyu accompanied Zhu Qizhen to Yinghua Hall.

Along the way, Zhu Qizhen really became more frightened and saddened the more he watched.Not only did the three main halls burn down, but his beloved Qianqing Palace also burned to nothing.There were also the Palace of Compassion and Peace, the Palace of Xian'an, and the Hall of Mental Cultivation, all of which were burned down.

Yinghua Hall is located in the most northwest corner of the Forbidden City. It was originally an inconspicuous palace, but now it has become the residence of the Empress Dowager. It is really sad.

As soon as she entered the Yinghua Palace, the Empress Dowager Sun, who had long been hopeless, rushed forward and hugged Zhu Qizhen, mother and son embraced each other and wept.

The Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qizhen have endured great pressure for the past three years, and now they are finally reunited, crying bitterly, out of control.

Zhu Qiyu didn't bother the mother and son, but got together with his mother and concubine, and whispered about what happened outside the city.

So the two families hugged each other, and they were clearly separated, and outsiders could tell at a glance that they were in harmony with each other.

Zhu Qizhen finally finished venting his emotions, but when he looked at Empress Qian again, he couldn't help but turn from sadness to anger.

Her good queen was blind in one eye and lame in one leg.

After the two cried at each other again, Zhu Qizhen looked at his younger brother, wanting an explanation.

Zhu Qiyu was also very wronged. At that time, no one in the Forbidden City belonged to me, and the harem was completely under the control of Queen Mother Sun and Queen Qian.

In the end, a group of servants actually limped the dignified queen, can you blame me for this?
It's not that I asked them to do this, and besides, I was exhausted from dealing with Wala at that time, so how could I be in the mood to do something to the harem?
Even if I want to attack the harem, those court ladies and eunuchs won't listen to me.

Regarding this matter, Empress Qian was quite reasonable, and knew that this matter had nothing to do with Zhu Qiyu, so she quickly persuaded Zhu Qizhen:
"It's all the concubines who don't know how to take care of themselves, so they became disabled just now, and it has nothing to do with others. Besides, all the palace servants who served me at that time have been executed by the emperor."
