As soon as Gao Shishi returned to Beijing, he found that the situation was not quite right, and the first thing that was wrong was that the atmosphere was wrong. This time to pacify such a big chaos, before and after forcing the surrender and annihilation of more than 100,000 enemy troops, Ilduqi and Boshoketu are counted, but the emperor did not choose the suburbs to welcome. This time, on behalf of the emperor, the cabinet and several princes and marquis of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies were welcomed.

You must know that civil strife is also divided into grades, and this Northwest Rebellion is not the kind of Japanese raids that did not endanger the rule a few decades ago, nor is it a mud-legged rebellion that the imperial court generally looks down on. This rebellion was the imperial court's economic army, which was the most dangerous in the category of rebellion.

What's more, Bibai is not just a simple rebellion, he is also a combination of internal and external enemies, which is a kind of rebellion that combines internal and external, and it is entirely possible to endanger the rule. The effort to quell such an important rebellion is no less great than the expansion of territory. In the original history, just to quell a rebellion, the follow-up merits were very grand and grand, not to mention that this time it was the entire Northwest Rebellion of the "powerful and strengthened version".

According to Zhu Yijun's usual attitude, this situation is obviously very unusual. If the number one hero who has made such a contribution is just a military general, then it doesn't matter if the specifications for the triumph are a little lower, but when this triumphant return is a civil marshal, and he is also highly pragmatic, this is too unusual.

The highly pragmatic saint is well known throughout the dynasty, and he has made such a great achievement but has not been welcomed by the Son of Heaven

Many people have to start to wonder what is wrong, it is because the controversy between the government and the opposition a few days ago has affected the emperor, and the emperor intends to deal with this matter coldly

However, this is not right.

Even if Zhuang Langwei's contribution to this battle is not counted on Gao Shishi's head, but he captured Bo Shuoketu alive and ensured the Ordos Department's deference to the Ming Dynasty and the King of Shunyi, which is always a real credit, almost "without a single soldier" to recover Ningxia, this credit is real

Not only were others suspicious, but even Gao Pragmatic himself was a little surprised, looking at the cabinet and the princes of the five mansions, although his face was as usual, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart that someone had made some slander in front of the emperor, and even said that the emperor had been moved

The emperor is not there, everything is according to the process, Gao pragmatic dismounts to accept the congratulations of the hundred officials, and the first assistant Shen Shixing "gives a welcome speech" on behalf of the hundred officials, which are all clichés, but there is no need to mention more.

After saying the cliché, Shen Shixing spoke again, which further deepened Gao Shixing's concern, because Shen Shixing's words did not represent the emperor, he only congratulated Gao Shixing on his triumph on behalf of "the cabinet and colleagues".

Gao Shishi's acting skills for many years finally played a role, and he didn't show half of his disappointment, and thanked everyone very calmly and politely.

Just when he had already begun to think about how to contact Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju to understand the situation in the palace, Zhu Yingzhen, who was standing on the side, suddenly opened his mouth and said with a smile: "The cardinal platform has worked hard this time, and the emperor originally planned to greet him in person, but unfortunately the Empress Dowager Cisheng has occasionally felt cold in the past few days, and the phoenix body owes the emperor to filial piety, so she personally served the decoction in the Cining Palace, so she couldn't come, so she had to order her own government to pay tribute." ”

It turned out that this was the case, Gao Pragmatic felt a little calmer, and said busily, "Hundred virtues and filial piety come first, the emperor's move is set an example for the world, and the ministers are very impressed, but I don't know if the phoenix body of the Empress Dowager Cisheng can improve"

Zhu Yingzhen didn't know this question, so he could only laugh and say, "Ah, it's much better, it's much better." Then as if remembering something, he hurriedly added, "Oh, by the way, the emperor also said that because the queen mother is ill, the matter of His Majesty's opinion must wait for the time being, and the cardinal can hand over the customs and other things first, and wait for the order." ”

So serious

Gao Pragmatic was a little stunned in his heart, in the original history, Empress Dowager Li's health should be good, but now it is far from the time when she dies, why didn't the emperor even take the time to meet me and wait for me to pay the monk Fang Jian

"Obey. There is Grandpa Lao. ”

At this time, even if Gao Pragmatic had already handed over the military power to go out and restored his original identity, he said, "Since all the governors of the five prefectures are here, presumably Commander Qi is also here."

Qi Jiguang, as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, may now be regarded as the first general, but even so, he still can't stand in front of a group of cabinets, ministries and nobles, and Gao Pragmatic can only ask by name.

Zhu Yingzhen hurriedly turned around, stretched out his hand towards the crowd behind the center, and shouted, "Commander Qi is here."

Qi Jiguang, who was dressed in a big red python suit, turned out from behind and bowed, "Jiguang has seen the cardinal." ”

Gao Shizheng pointed at the Praetorian Guard headquarters brought back, and said with a smile, "I have done this, and the soldiers and horses of the department will be returned to you, you can go back and count to see if the rest is different from the victory." ”

Although Gao Pragmatic is Qi Jiguang's direct leader, Qi Jiguang is still a serious and authentic "The last general leads the order." ”

After handing over the soldiers and horses, but also to hand over the customs defense monk Fang Sword and other things, there are still a lot of troubles here, it is inconvenient to stay with Gao Pragmatic, Shen Shixing is not interested in talking too much in front of so many people with Gao Pragmatic, and soon everyone entered the city and went separately.

Because Zhu Yingzhen brought the emperor's edict just now, asking him to wait for the decree at home, in principle, he is now on vacation, so he went to the military department to hand over the customs defense to Liang Menglong, and handed over the Shang Fang sword to the eunuch sent by the celebrant to collect it, and then returned to Zhaohui Jinggongfang.

Unexpectedly, when he came back, there were guests in the house.

Zhu Yingzhen smiled and crossed Erlang's legs in the gazebo in the front garden, holding a Japanese-made gold-painted folding fan in his hand, and there was even a tea set on the table next to him, looking like he had been waiting for him for a long time.

Gao Pragmatic stepped forward with a smile and said, "Chengguo Gong has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I don't know what is important here."

"I was really fine, but the emperor asked me to come, so I had to come." Zhu Yingzhen smiled and said, "However, your Gao Longwen is known to the world, so you might as well guess why I came."

Gao Pragmatic raised his eyebrows slightly, "It seems that the emperor also knows that some of the government and the opposition are talking"

"I'll just say that Jinghua's internal affairs department is very powerful, and I really can't hide this from you." Zhu Yingzhen sighed: "Don't look at the hundreds of officials in the suburbs today, almost none of them have arrived, but when you didn't come, they had been arguing and shouting for several days." ”

Gao pragmatic doesn't care about the authentic "just for Zhuang Langwei's battle, whose credit should be counted"

"Of course, otherwise," Zhu Yingzhen spread his hands, "The great exploits of civil officials are different from Li Rusong. He Li Rusong is already a general soldier in Taiyuan, and he can still only be a general soldier after getting this credit, so it's great to add a false title such as prince and young insurance to him to suit the situation, or give him a set of robes. But if the credit is given to you or to Wei Qu'an, the difference is big. ”

Gao pragmatic quietly said "how to be big"

"Of course it's big." Zhu Yingzhen raised his eyebrows, "If it is given to Wei Qu'an, everyone has already calculated it, as long as he takes Songshan and recovers Xining in the follow-up this time, the imperial court will not only give him a set of python robes, but also have to be promoted to the young master, which is originally a matter of years for the elder to have a chance to get." ”

Gao pragmatic smiled, didn't speak, picked up the fragrant tea sent by the maid and took a sip, obviously still waiting for Zhu Yingzhen's next words.

When Zhu Yingzhen saw it, he continued, "But if it's given to you, it's even better." Although the first rank you received from this dispatch was not as amazing as the previous battle of Monan, the cabinet and various ministries and institutes believed that the credit was great and should be rewarded. If this reward is also added to the battle of Zhuang Langwei, it will be even more amazing. Everyone, do the math, your credit is no less than Wang Yangming's original, and you can even be knighted. ”

Gao pragmatic said this, but he didn't believe it, shook his head and said, "How is this calculated, Zhu Chenhao was the king of Ning when he rebelled, and he was different from other rebellions, and Wang Wencheng was fair to determine his rebellion, and he was also different from the rest." Otherwise, there will be a lot of chaos in the world, but who else will be knighted as a civil official because of this"

Gao pragmatic means that the imperial court also depends on the object of quelling the rebellion, and the rebellion of the vassal king is the most politically threatening one, so the reward for quelling the rebellion of the vassal king is particularly high, which is completely different from pacifying other rebellions.

Of course, this is due to the fact that the Battle of Jingyan had too much impact on the Ming Dynasty, in fact, although King Ning's rebellion was 100,000 troops at that time, but the battle was not hard, and to some extent it was even a little funny, because Wang Yangming's level was compared with King Ning, it was really a judgment of cloud and mud, and the gap between the two sides was too big.

Zhu Chenhao dared to rebel because he had established a private army, with tens of thousands of troops, known as an army of 100,000. Wealth and wealth are in danger, some of his cronies took the initiative to join, and some were coerced, and Zhu Chenhao wantonly sealed the official and appointed the prime minister, Shangshu and so on. At the same time, it was spread all over the country, encouraging those who would like to rebel together, but there was no response. Zhu Chenhao was probably quite surprised, but the matter has come to this point, and the arrow has to be sent, you don't do it alone.

At the beginning of July, Zhu Chenhao led his army to occupy Jiujiang and other places, out of Jiangxi, down the river, in an attempt to capture Nanjing.

It is true that Zhu Houzhao, the son of Zhengde, is a wonderful person, but there is a huge court, a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there are still capable people. Zhu Chenhao's luck is also extremely bad, the first opponent he met was the famous Confucian and military strategist Wang Yangming. Wang Yangming was the governor of southern Jiangxi at that time, and his jurisdiction was in Fujian and Jiangxi.

Wang Yangming raised troops to serve the king, using the strategy of suspicious soldiers, he first pretended to spread the word to all places, claiming to lead 160,000 soldiers and horses to attack King Ning's lair. King Ning was afraid of Wang Shouren's heavy army, and the army began to hesitate halfway, not daring to act rashly. After waiting for more than ten days, he found that Wang Yangming did not make any moves, so he was relieved to boldly attack Nanjing.

As everyone knows, Wang Shouren took this time to form 80,000 soldiers and horses. He took this opportunity to approach King Ning's lair and recapture Nanchang. Nanchang was lost to Zhu Chenhao in early July and was recovered within ten days. Zhu Chenhao was shocked, and it was a stupid idea to hurry back to the army to save Nanchang, and it was even better to defeat Nanjing first.

In Huangjiadu, northeast of Nanchang, Zhu Chenhao and Wang Yangming's troops fought and were defeated. Zhu Chenhao retreated, Wang Yangming pursued, and defeated the rebels. Zhu Chenhao was captured along with his son and close subordinates. It's July 26. Zhu Chenhao only had a total of more than 20 days from the beginning of the army to his capture.

Gao Pragmatic pacified the rebellion in the northwest this time, and it was less than a month from sending troops to conquering Ningxia, but it was two days slower than Wang Yangming's time.

Of course, the opponent he faced was different from Zhu Chenhao, King Ning, although King Ning claimed to be an army of 100,000, he could not really fight much, and his actual combat experience was not reliable.

And Gao Pragmatic is different this time, what kind of opponent is he fighting the elite of the Ordos Department, the elite of Ningxia, one of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, which is an experienced opponent in war, and the total strength is actually a little more than King Ning. So in terms of difficulty, it must be high and pragmatic, and this time it is more difficult.

Of course, this also has to look back at the army led by his own soldiers and horses when he went out to fight pragmatically, although there were not many at the beginning, but in terms of quality, it was much more reliable than the rabble that Wang Yangming temporarily convened at that time, after all, how bad the level of the southern army of the Ming Dynasty was at this time, everyone knew in their hearts, although it can be said that there were good and bad, but it was definitely not as good as the nine sides.

This impression probably began to be reversed in the era of Yu Long and Qi Hu, but once the elite of Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Liu Xian and other people are excluded, then the southern army as a whole must still be much worse than the northern army, compared to the height of two dwarves, one of the dwarfs is slightly taller.

In this life, because of the relationship between high pragmatism, in fact, the northern army is more elite than the southern army, because all the reforms involve military affairs, and in the end the main beneficiaries are the towns on the nine sides, so the gap is even greater.

Of course, I am afraid that only Gao Pragmatic will compare this matter, and others will basically not consider it this way. In the eyes of others, Wang Yangming is the one who pacified the rebellion of King Ning of 100,000 people, and Gao Pragmatic's record this time is no worse than him, in addition to King Ning's political bonus, the credit of the two is between the two of them.

This is a big trouble, because Wang Shouren was awarded the title of Xinjian Bo because of this, and when he arrived in the Longqing Dynasty, he was enshrined in Xinjian and waited for Wang Yangming to die at this time. If Gao Pragmatic's contribution is regarded as similar to Wang Yangming's at that time, wouldn't it mean that Gao Pragmatic will also be made an earl

The military generals of the Ming Dynasty are still more hopeful, but it is not easy for civil officials to be knighted, so far two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, only the "three kings" Wang Ji, Wang Yue, Wang Shouren.

Is it time to add a fourth place?

Gao Shixing suddenly realized, no wonder Shen Shixing didn't have the heart to say more to himself today, it seems that this matter also has a lot of pressure on him.

Now Gao Pragmatic knows in his heart why there is so much controversy between the DPRK and China, if Zhuang Langwei's exploits in the first battle are not counted on his Gao Pragmatic head, then those who oppose him in the DPRK and China can use the special status of King Ning and the reason that it is far from being Bibai Kebi to oppose Gao Pragmatic knighthood, but if Zhuang Langwei's battle is added, this reason is a little untenable.

Zhuang Langwei's battle not only won more heads and captured more, but also immediately recovered Songshan and Xining and maintained the passage with Gansu, which is of great significance

Zhu Yingzhen saw that Gao Shishi's face changed several times, and couldn't help laughing, "How to seek truth, I see, let's get closer in the future."
