Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

"come in!"

The cabinet ministers and Liu Jin entered the study one by one, and they were shocked when they saw Zhengde.

But Emperor Zhengde was wearing a mandarin duck war jacket and a white felt hat with soft brims on his head. The cluster of big red tassels on the hat dazzled people like burning flames.

He is tall and has long arms, standing there with his hand on the hilt of the knife with his head held high, he is really heroic, just like an... ordinary soldier of the Ming Dynasty Frontier Army.

Although Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai were horrified, they couldn't say anything.

Yang Tinghe used to be the servant of the Eastern Palace when he was in the Eastern Palace, although he was teased by Zhengde many times before.But in terms of affection, he can be regarded as the emperor's teacher.

For Lao Yang, Zhengde respects him very much and calls him "Master Yang" every day.

A few months ago, Zhengde was lazy and left all the important affairs of the court to Liu Jin, and hid in the palace to play by himself.

As soon as Liu Jin was in power, he followed orders.He had suffered a lot from Yang Tinghe before, and this time he just took the opportunity to take revenge.Yang Tinghe was expelled from the cabinet and sent to Nanjing to retire.

Unexpectedly, Lao Yang was still on the way. One day, Zhengde suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Yang Tinghe for a while, so he asked Liu Jin, "Where is Master Yang?"

After hearing that Yang Tinghe was driven to Nanjing, Zhengde was furious and said: "Master Yang is my teacher, Liu Jin, you are so bold, a dignified cabinet minister, if you say you want to chase him away, you will chase him away. It's absurd, so hurry up and chase him back."

Liu Jin feels aggrieved, Lord Long Live you have many teachers, such as Liu Jian and Xie Qian, it is not absurd to expel them if they say they are expelled.

In this way, Yang Tinghe was still on the way, and the emperor sent someone to take him back to the capital, and he was reinstated as an official.

Because Yang Tinghe had such a relationship with the emperor, he was not polite when talking with Zhengde on weekdays.

Seeing Zhengde dressed up like this now, when his face turns dark, he is about to explode.

Li Dongyang suddenly and secretly gave him a hand, then shook his head.

Yang Tinghe has always admired Li Dongyang's wisdom, as long as he told himself to endure, there must be his reasons, so he had to blacken his face and force himself to endure.

"Good afternoon, dear friends. Look, how do I dress up?" Zhengde said triumphantly, "It's not just King Anhua's rebellion. Seeing all of you in such a mess, you are really bewildered and bewildered. You are not the emperor. The prime minister is the internal prime minister, and is the head of all officials. The ministers and the people all over the world are looking at you. If you are in chaos, the hearts of the people and the army will be disturbed. I am afraid that is what the king of thieves wants to see most! King Anhua's rebellion Thoughts, it is probably not a matter of a day or two."

"I'm afraid, there was a different will as early as decades ago. It's like a sore on my body in the Ming Dynasty. It will happen sooner or later. From my point of view, it's better if this abscess is squeezed earlier. good."

Zhengde laughed: "In my opinion, King Anhua's rebellion is not only not a bad thing, but a good thing, good, very good, very good. He wants to follow the example of his ancestors, but I am not Jianwen. If he wants to fight, he will fight!" "

These words were righteous and strict, and everyone looked at the calm Zhengde and felt ashamed in their hearts.

In a daze, everyone seemed to see a promising king like Taizu Chengzu appearing in front of them. Yang Tinghe, who had taught him to grow up since childhood, was so excited that his body trembled slightly, and there was heat in his eyes.

But Emperor Zhengde changed his taste while talking: "The terrain of Ningxia is very interesting. It is surrounded by mountains and the Yellow River moat. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is like an iron barrel. If you want to break into it in a short time It's not that easy. However, this iron bucket also imprisoned the king of thieves. The general has previously used war games to deduce that the king of thieves is probably still trapped in Ningxia. You don't have to worry. As long as the general brings a You don’t need too many soldiers and horses, three thousand is enough, and this chaos will be quelled within a month.”

The so-called general is Zhengde himself.

Zhengde likes martial arts and art of war, so he gave himself the name Zhu Shou, and he was able to designate himself as a general a while ago.When the imperial decree came down to the Ministry of War, the officials of the Ministry of War scratched their heads for a long time, and couldn't remember who Zhu Shou was.

"What, His Majesty wants to conquest in person?" Everyone couldn't help but screamed.

Yang Tinghe yelled angrily: "Absurd, absurd!"

Zhengde: "What's the matter, didn't you just discuss who would lead the troops to Ningxia to suppress the rebellion? From my point of view, you may not be able to find a suitable candidate. If it is really the ability on the battlefield, who can compare to me?" ?”

As the chief assistant, Li Dongyang said in a tone like coaxing a child: "Yes, yes, there is nothing better than His Majesty, the sage and hero. When it comes to the ability to lead troops, no one in the world can match His Majesty. But..."

"Don't worry about it, I'm going to decide on this matter." Zhengde interrupted Li Dongyang's words, his face full of excitement: "I will appoint the general Zhu Shou as the general, Zhang Yong as the supervisor, and the two towns of Xuanfu and Datong. Shaanxi, crusade against the rebels."

"Ah, Your Majesty, no!" Everyone shouted.

Yang Tinghe was in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the candidates for the commander-in-chief have been discussed, and Yang Yiqing was sent there. He has served as the commander-in-chief for many years and is familiar with Ningxia's military situation. How can you leave the capital?"

Zhengde: "Although Yang Yiqing is not bad, he is comparable to me. Ladies and gentlemen, just listen to me. I have just worked out a perfect military strategy with Zhang Yong through military chess deduction. With this military plan of mine, I will certainly The rebellion can be quelled in the shortest possible time. The military situation is on fire, everyone should stop talking, and the front line cannot be delayed.”

Yang Tinghe wanted to make trouble again, but Li Dongyang said slowly: "As Your Majesty said, the military situation is like fire, and the Anhua King's rebellion must be put down quickly. But the emperor's personal conquest is of great importance, how to arrange the guard of honor, and what etiquette should be used, I have to issue an imperial decree in advance and discuss with all the officials how to arrange the journey along the way and how to travel. There are strict etiquette rules. It is now the middle of May, and I will count them all. When His Majesty leaves Beijing, I am afraid it will not be until August. .At that time, I don’t know what kind of corruption Shaanxi will look like. Think twice, Your Majesty.”

"Ah, it's so troublesome, then..." Zhengde looked unwilling.

Seeing that Zhengde's tone had eased, everyone was overjoyed and thought: Li Shoufu is still able to speak, resourceful, and admire him.

Li Dongyang smiled and said: "Since Your Majesty has already formulated a careful strategy to hunt down thieves, it doesn't matter if you don't personally conquer. It is better to let Yang Yiqing lead the troops as usual, but let him use troops strictly according to His Majesty's plan. If Your Majesty is worried, you can let Zhang Yong supervise the army, Supervise him to implement His Majesty's strategy against the enemy. In this way, it is as if His Majesty came to the front line. Even if he has credit, General Zhu Shou will also remember the first credit. Your Majesty, do you think the minister's suggestion is good?"

As soon as Liu Jin heard that Zhang Yong was appointed as the supervisor, she immediately became anxious: "Your Majesty, you cannot let Zhang Yong be the supervisor."

Zhang Yong, who had been waiting behind Zhengde with his head down, suddenly raised his head and gave Liu Jin a hard look, his eyes were full of hatred.

Liu Jin was naturally not afraid, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
