The defense of the capital division was victorious. The Wara army withdrew from the Beijing Division, withdrew from the territory that originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty, everything seemed to be calm again, and the hearts of the people in the Beijing Division also settled down. Zhu Qiyu's position as the emperor is stable.

Zhu Qiyu's position was stable, and Zhu Qizhen became a lot more anxious.

Among the imperial palaces of Nanjing. With the entry of Zhu Qizhen, a large number of eunuchs and palace maids were flooded with it, and it finally became popular and looked very lively. In addition, Nanjing was the capital of the Ming Dynasty at the earliest, and it was originally very prosperous, so that the Southern Ming Dynasty was quickly established. Many officials who came from Beijing were reused, and in addition, there were originally six departments in Nanjing, so it didn't take long for the personnel of each department to be basically in place and operating normally.

But Zhu Qizhen was not satisfied with all this, because just now he got the news from the Jinyi Wei secret agent, under Yang Chendong's shot, the defense of the Beijing Division was victorious, Wara retreated, and the Ming Dynasty regained peace and stability.

When the Warat army approached the Beijing Division, many ministers analyzed it, saying that with Zhu Qiyu's troops, it was difficult to defend the Beijing Division. And once the Jingshi is broken, the new emperor Daizong Zhu Qiyu will have nowhere to go, and the ministers who follow him will naturally fall apart, so it is time for Zhu Qizhen to dominate the world. At that time, he immediately went north, if he could defeat the Wara army again and recapture the Ming Jingshi, he would completely erase the shame of the defeat of the civil engineering, and he might become a generation of famous kings.

It's just that this dream has not yet begun, it has already ended. At the moment when he learned that the Jingshi had been saved and Wara had retreated, Zhu Qizhen felt a suffocating breath filling his heart, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty." Cao Jixiang, the new eunuch who had gradually grasped the power and even replaced Wang Zhen's previous position, saw that Yingzong's face was very ugly, so he asked cautiously and softly.

"Huh?" Being called by this, Zhu Qizhen's mind returned to reality, and when he saw that it was Cao Jixiang calling him, he couldn't help asking, "What does the companion have to say?" ”

Big companion is Zhu Qizhen's unique name for Cao Jixiang, just like when he called Wang Zhen Mr. before. I have to say that it is a dog that can't change eating, although in the battle of Tumubao, he suffered a lot from Wang Zhen, if it weren't for Yang Chendong's timely action, he was afraid that he would have become a prisoner. But after returning to the emperor, he still reused the eunuchs around him, maybe he was used to it, maybe this was the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Only by reusing eunuchs can the emperor enjoy full right to speak.

"Your Majesty, in the defense of the Beijing Division, the loyal and courageous uncle played an important role, because of his appearance and ruined the emperor's plan, you see, there is no need for his subordinates to send someone to the Beijing Division, as long as something happens to him, and the news is passed on to Wara to know, it must not be long before they will re-offend, so that the emperor's opportunity will come." Cao Jixiang has not forgotten the scene when he was humiliated by the Yang family when he was outside Yangjiazhuang, and he has been looking for an opportunity to take revenge.

"This..."Zhu Qizhen was really moved for a while. His wish is to reunify the Ming Dynasty, Yang Chendong has undoubtedly become a strong wall, blocking the road of his dreams, if something happens to this person, I am afraid that the situation will change soon, in this way, maybe his opportunity will really appear.

There was an intention in his heart, but he summed up the major mistake that occurred last time when he only listened to Wang Zhen and did not put the words of the hundred officials in his ears, this time Zhu Qizhen learned to be obedient, he did not express his position immediately, but just nodded and said: "In this way, bring Kuang Ye, the secretary of the military department, and I have something to ask him." ”

"Yes." Cao Jixiang knew that the emperor had listened to his words, and when he called Kuang Ye, he must have asked how feasible things were. He said yes and turned and walked out. and personally rushed to Kuang Ye's mansion to deliver the decree.

Although the new palace had just been built, there were not many eunuchs who followed Cao Jixiang to Nanjing. At least something like a decree doesn't need the big eunuch to go out in person, but Cao Jixiang still came, and when he appeared in Kuang's mansion, it really startled the military secretary.

"Kuang Shangshu, the emperor announced that you have something to ask when you enter the palace, please." As soon as he saw Kuang Ye, Cao Jixiang showed an acceptable smile as much as possible.

Since the incident of Wang Zhen, Kuang Ye and other important ministers, especially those ministers who escaped death in the civil and engineering changes, have always been disgusted with eunuchs, and this time when they saw Cao Jixiang come to announce the decree in person, they also showed an unhappy expression on their faces.

It's just that the emperor has a will, of course, he has to follow. So he changed into an official uniform and followed Cao Jixiang and others out of Kuang's mansion.

It's just that as soon as he left the house, Cao Jixiang stepped forward with a straight face and whispered, "Kuang Shangshu, this time the emperor asked about the loyal and courageous uncle Yang Chendong, and my father-in-law suggested to the emperor to get rid of this person in order to cut off the arm of the king, and asked Kuang Shangshu to be cautious." ”

After saying this, Cao Jixiang turned around and walked into his sedan chair. He has already reminded everything that should be reminded, and he believes that Kuang Ye should know how to say it.

Leaving Kuang Ye alone to enter his soft sedan chair, his face solemn thinking about the cause and effect of this matter.

Yang Chendong has a life-saving grace for Kuang Ye. If the same dynasty was an official, everyone should have been very close, but because King Yu became the emperor, he came to Nanjing as a minister. The reign of the two emperors seems to be a matter of one sentence, but there are too many things involved and involved.

is like Yang Chendong, as the secretary of the military department, Kuang Ye has his own sources, and he already knows that this person was first named the Marquis of Loyalty, and because of his great contribution to the defense of Beijing, he was awarded the title of Duke of Loyalty. But Cao Jixiang still called him loyal and courageous in his mouth, which shows that some of the will of Daizong is difficult to be recognized here in Yingzong.

The colleagues who used to be officials in the same dynasty are now their own masters, so how to touch each other has become a big problem. Kuang Ye expected to meet sooner or later, but he never thought it would come so quickly, and the first person to attack was his life-saving benefactor Yang Chendong.

Not to mention that the grace of saving lives cannot be repaid, just say that Yang Chendong can't have an accident now, otherwise, Yingzong, who is not yet stable, is afraid that he will not be able to sit firmly in Nanjing. He has just resettled his home in Nanjing, and he may face the matter of relocation again. No matter how you think about it, things don't seem to be possible, and in the soft sedan car, Kuang Ye has an idea in his heart.

When he came to the palace, Kuang Ye already had a plan in his heart, and when he entered the palace, he saw Yingzong kneeling first, and then slowly got up.

"Kuang Aiqing, the matter of the defense of the Jingshi has been won, I think you should have heard about it. The current Jingshi must be very lively, and they should all be celebrating. As soon as he saw Kuang Ye, Yingzong's face showed an embarrassed expression, and he seemed to remember the scene when everyone fled from Tumu Fort under the protection of Yang Chendong and the mercenaries he invited.

"Yes. It is a blessing for the country that the loyal and courageous duke blocked the entry of the Warat Iron Cavalry and guarded the north gate of our Ming Dynasty, so that we could have more time to recruit, recruit and manage the troops. Kuang Ye said high-sounding words while paying attention to Zhu Qizhen's expression.

Hearing Kuang Ye praise Yang Chendong like this, Zhu Qizhen's face showed a trace of displeasure. "The Loyal Courage Gong was a great minister for saving the car at the beginning, and he was really a great minister that I relied on, but why did he stay in the northern capital and not come back? Now he has helped the king to block Warat, so that his name is known to the world, isn't this against me? For the sake of this matter, someone advised me to invite the loyal and courageous prince to Nanjing to come to Nanjing, if you don't obey, you can use extraordinary means, according to Kuang Aiqing, how about it? ”

When he asked this sentence, a cold gaze popped out of Zhu Qizhen's eyes, as if he wanted to penetrate Kuang Ye's heart at this moment.

Fortunately, Kuang Ye was prepared, and after hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, he did not panic, but pretended to have a thoughtful expression and nodded first, and then shook his head.

"What does Aiqing mean?" Seeing Kuang Ye nodding and shaking his head, Zhu Qizhen was also confused for a while.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, it is not impossible to invite the loyal and courageous prince to Nanjing, but I am afraid that he will not want to come. Immortal Residence, Heaven and Heaven, I heard that King Yu also promised him to establish a Yang family bank in Jingshi, there are so many transactions, I really don't dare to think that he will give up these. As for forcibly inviting him to come, hehe, I'm afraid that I can't do it with the means of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Please don't forget that the loyal and courageous prince has the most elite mercenaries in the world by his side. And if you do this and don't make it happen, it will be tantamount to offending the loyal and courageous father. May I ask the emperor, are you ready to turn your face with King Yu now? ”

As soon as Kuang Ye opened his mouth, he suddenly asked a few questions, and Zhu Qizhen was stunned. He looked suspicious and said, "What does Aiqing mean?" Why did you invite the loyal and courageous prince, that is, to turn his face with the king of the servant? ”

Seeing that Zhu Qizhen began to follow his train of thought, Kuang Ye pretended to be very excited and said, "Your Majesty, what do you want." What is the reason why we are able to live in peace with King Yu now? Isn't it all because of the mediation of the loyal and courageous prince in Beijing at the beginning? If something happens to him, then there will be no barrier between us and the king of the servants. Now that Warat has withdrawn, the King of Servant may gather all his strength against us. Even now, not all the surrounding guards are controlled by us. As the secretary of the military department, the minister did not dare to tell the emperor that we can use less than 50,000 troops so far. And the news obtained that the number of soldiers who went to the guard of King Qinwang in Beijing had reached 80,000. If these people suddenly turn around and come to Nanjing, the minister can't guarantee that they will be able to win the battle! ”
