The second major event, the imperial court promulgated the general seal, the early Ming Dynasty, the provinces and towns of the town guard officer, deputy commander-in-chief, mostly to the five armies of the governor's office of the left and right governors, the governor of the same knowledge, the governor of the affairs and the duke, hou, and the uncle, in case of heavy battles, then hang the number of generals or generals, former generals, deputy generals, lead the troops to the battle, return after the fact, called the seal general. After discussion, the emperor and the early court last month, issued an edict and the general seal in the border generals: the commander of Yunnan is called the general of Zhengnan, the general of Liangguang is called the general of Zhengman, the former general of Liaodong is called Zhengzhong, the former general of Datong is called Zhengxi, the general of Xuanfu is called Zhenshuo, Gansu is called Pingqiang general, and Ningxia is called Zhengxi general. At this time, Chen Zhi guarded Jiaozhi and was also awarded the seal of the deputy general of Zhengyi. At the same time, it was ordered that the old edict be handed over to the imperial court. In order to defend the north, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to cast the seal of the general on the fourth day of the same month. On February 24, the seal of General Zhenshuo was cast. This result made many generals in the court very angry, but many people privately speculated that this was the emperor preparing for stability and Qu Xian.

Since the Hongwu period, two guards have been set up in the west and the first two guards. In the twenty-second year of Yongle, the eunuchs Qiao Laixi and Deng Cheng were sent to Wusizang as envoys. Traveling to Huangyangchuan, Anding commanded Ha Sansun Sange and Qu Xian commanded Sanjisi and others to lead the crowd to kill the court envoys, snatch camels and horses and go, this matter is getting bigger and bigger at the border, the emperor ascended the throne at the beginning, has not spared effort to clean up, now the situation is stable, and Anding, Qu Xian and do not know how to converge, the emperor made up his mind to solve these two hidden dangers.

This matter, the generals are more excited, after all, it is an opportunity to make contributions, today's Ming Dynasty is strong, to clean up such a frontier Xiaoxiao, it is not to be captured, such a meritorious service is given in vain, so it is very attractive to a group of generals, everyone wants to get a piece of the pie.

For the war, those civil officials are not interested in anything, their interest lies in this year's imperial examination, since Yang Shiqi from Nanjing on a fold, the emperor immediately canceled the Hongwu period of the imperial examination quota, re-established the quota of scholars, is still the north and south to take the office, but with the Hongwu Dynasty, there are few changes, such as Nanjing Guozijian and Nanzhili a total of 80 people, Beijing Guozijian and North Zhili 50 people, will try to get scholars but 100 people, southerners account for three-fifths, northerners two-fifths. It is said that this regulation, only after the end of the imperial examination, began to be implemented in the Ming Dynasty, such good news, since these civil officials are happy, the children and grandchildren, nephews, and friends of the family are a lot, if they can take the official in this way, maybe they will have a middle move.

Because of these three major events, the palace gate was extremely lively, and there were three different figures in the crowd.

The three of them did not stay long among these officials, but went straight to the noon gate, and the civil and military officials in front of the gate were immersed in the fresh events of the Ming Dynasty, and no one paid attention to the quiet departure of the three of them.

These three people are no one else, it is Zhu Zhanji, Xu Mian, Wang Zhen and others, since leaving Le'an Prefecture, they have not encountered any checkpoints along the way, plus Li Jun's carriage, it took only five days to arrive at the city of Beijing, but the three of them are not coincidental, they just happened to meet the civil and military officials in the court, and heard that today's Majesty's body and bones are much better, and they are anxious for the civil and military officials to go to the court, and start to deal with it. It is because these civil and military officials are like chicken blood, and they are thick outside the city gate early.

Zhu Zhanji didn't want the news of his return to Beijing to be known all over the city, and the most important thing was that the news of his return to the city must not let the big man in the capital know that he had not yet grasped the situation of the imperial court, and he was afraid that once the news of his return to Beijing leaked, the King of Han would have no hope of seizing the throne, and he would take the opportunity to make trouble, which would be extremely unfavorable to the country and himself! In such a passive situation, he decided to quietly enter the palace temporarily, firstly, to find out his father's illness, and secondly, to find out the big people hidden in the court in the dark.

Having made up his mind, he decided to enter the palace through the noon gate, so the three of them did not alarm the civil and military officials who were shivering in the night wind, and turned to the noon gate.

The Noon Gate is the main gate of the Forbidden City, located on the north-south axis of the Forbidden City. This gate is in the middle of the sun, and it is located as the meridian, so it is called the noon gate. The east, west and north sides of the noon gate are connected to each other, surrounding a square square. The north gatehouse, nine rooms wide, the top of the yellow tile hall with heavy eaves. There are thirteen rooms on the east and west city platforms, row up from both sides of the gatehouse to the south, the shape is like a goose wing, also called the wild goose wing building. In the east and west, the north and south ends of the goose wing building each have a heavy eaves and a pavilion with a spire. The majestic noon gate, like three mountains embracing, five peaks protrude, majestic momentum, so commonly known as five phoenix towers.

There are five openings in the noon gate, but from the front, it seems to be three, in fact, there are two left and right doors on the front, which are open on the inside of the east and west city platforms, one faces west and one faces east. These two doorways extend into the platform to the east and west respectively, and then turn north and exit from the north side of the city. Therefore, from the back of the noon gate, there are five door openings, so there is a saying of "three bright and five dark". The main entrance is usually only accessible to the emperor; When the emperor is married, the queen can enter once; The three people who won the palace examination, Bangyan, and Tanhua can walk out of this door once. In other words, this gate is rarely visited on weekdays, except for the emperor's exclusive use every year.

But not because of the small number of people, it is thought that the guards here are relaxed, on the contrary, the guards here are much stricter than other palace gates, from the noon gate to the left and right sides of the Chengtian Gate, and the left and right Chang'an gates, to the east and west of the imperial city, belonging to the flag guard, Jiyang guard, Jeju guard, government guard, tiger right guard, Jinwu guard, Yanshan guard, Yulin guard, eight guards, its emphasis on Cheng dù is self-evident.

But at this time, Zhu Zhanji couldn't care so much, if he followed the civil and military officials in the capital, he would inevitably be recognized, and the news of the prince's arrival in the capital immediately spread throughout the city, Le'an Prefecture was not far from the capital, with the eyes and ears of the King of Han, it was not difficult to know the news, and before he made preparations, he did not want the King of Han to know the news of his return to the capital. Therefore, he had to pass through the noon gate.

The three of them rushed to the noon gate, Xu Mian was fine, Wang Zhen was able to walk from the noon gate for the first time, and his heart couldn't help but get excited, on weekdays, this can only be the emperor who walks by, in addition to the champions, lists, and tanhua selected by the palace examination, they can leave the palace from the middle gate after announcing the results of the palace examination. The east gate is for civil and military officials to enter and exit. The west gate is for the princes of the clan to enter and exit. The two doors were only opened when a large-scale event was held, and he, a eunuch, had no chance to walk through the noon gate in a grand manner, and he couldn't imagine that there was such an opportunity today, and his heart couldn't help but pound.

Before the three of them approached the noon gate, they heard a loud shout: "Stop, who are you?" ”

In the early morning dawn, the three of them did not see the faces of the people who came clearly, but listening to this thunderous shout, it is enough to imagine the faces of the people, the Ming Dynasty pro-army on the twelve guards is the Ming Dynasty responsible for escorting the left and right, guarding the palace forbidden emperor guards forbidden army, these sergeants are selected after strict training after the selection of strong figures, extraordinary martial arts soldiers, just this shout, it is not ordinary people can shout.

Zhu Zhanji and Xu Mian had long been accustomed to this kind of battle, and they didn't care, but Wang Zhen saw this situation for the first time, and he was startled, and in the hazy smoke, he looked around, and saw a small colonel standing not far in front of him, dressed in a flying fish robe, with an embroidered spring knife pinned to his waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and burly, so not majestic.

"What a mighty guard?" Wang Zhen secretly praised in his heart.

The soldier stood not far away, staring at Zhu Zhanji and the three of them, and did not say a word.

"Get out of the way, I'm going into the city?" Zhu Zhanji didn't stop at his feet and strode forward.

The young general shouted: "What a big courage, this is the noon gate, except for the emperor, no one is allowed to approach, this minister also looks like a scholar, don't you know this rule?" The young general saw that Zhu Zhanji had an extraordinary bearing, for fear that he was the son of an official eunuch in this capital, to say that there were not many other officials in this Beijing city, but there were many big officials, and he was a small flag official who did not dare to offend lightly, so he reminded with anger.

"Less nonsense, my son-in-law wants to enter the city, just let go as soon as possible, where did so much nonsense come from?" Xu Mian, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, saw that it was his subordinate, and immediately showed his usual majesty.

The little flag snorted, didn't even look at Xu Mian, and said with a straight face: "We are ordered to guard the noon gate, you have to be presumptuous here, and leave quickly if you know each other, and we will give up, otherwise Hugh blames me for being polite?" “

Xu Mian didn't expect the other party to be so faceless, his face was hot, and he was about to scold, when he suddenly heard Zhu Zhanji say: "This soldier, come here, I have something to say to you?" ”

"Hugh has to lead me to be fooled, although my Ma Shun is a martial artist, but he also knows the truth that soldiers are not tired of cheating, you don't want to succeed!" The young general shouted loudly, and subconsciously took a few steps back, and the embroidered spring knife in his hand was also aimed at Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his kindness to cause the other party to think like this, and he couldn't help but cry and laugh. said: "Okay, if you don't come, I'll tell me my identity, I'm the crown prince?" If you want to enter the palace to see your father, you will be bothered by this little general to let him go! ”
