The matter has come to this, Bai Ang can only sigh lightly and step aside, after all, the matter has happened, and his early warning is useless, what else to say?

"Your Majesty, is this text really the work of King Ning?" Liu Jian couldn't help but raise his head and asked.

"Who else could it be if it wasn't that animal?!" Hongji replied angrily.

"Your Majesty, it is advisable for the current important matter to be exterminated by the Ministry of War immediately!" Li Dongyang said in a deep voice.

The ministers echoed one after another, and for a while, the crowd was indignant.

"No, we should implement it, after all, King Ning is an emperor nobleman, and he can't make mistakes. Perhaps, this is the name of King Ning borrowed by the thieves, and the news from the Nanjing Zongren Mansion is that King Ning is being punished, which is very strange! Xie Qian suddenly spoke.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were noisy again.

"Your Majesty!" Liu Jian spoke.

Everyone looked at Liu Jian to see what he had to say!

Including Hongzhi, he also looked at Liu Jian with expectation, hoping that he could have new insights.

"Your Majesty, in fact, it is very convenient to tell whether the head of the rebellion is King Ning or not!" Liu Jian said calmly.

What is it? Ministers were looking forward to it.

"Actually, all along, King Ning has been preparing, I believe that Jinyiwei and Dongchang should have a list of their personnel, just look at the rebels in the battle report to be able to see if King Ning is rebelling!" Fortunately, Liu Jian is not a person who sells Guanzi, and said bluntly.

When the ministers heard this, they were reasonable!

couldn't help but look at the battle report in Liu Jian's hand.

"Your Majesty, the person who wrote the text is Liu Yangzheng, and please ask Jinyiwei to command Lord Mu to bring out the information about this person, and the truth will be revealed." Liu Jian looked at Mu Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was standing next to him.

The ministers, including Hongzhi, couldn't help but look at Mu Bin.

At this time, Mu Bin naturally responded to the call, took out a roster from his arms, turned to a page, and read in a deep voice, "Liu Yangzheng was originally born in a person, studied and knew the soldiers, and said that he had the ambition of Lingyun, but he failed to succeed repeatedly, and in frustration, he took refuge in Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, and was favored and extended to be a staff member in the house. ”

As soon as this information came out, all the ministers instantly understood it, and couldn't help but glance at Xie Qian.

At this time, Xie Qian was embarrassed, his objection was really targetless! Turn silent! Who asked him to speak for King Ning before! Now that he has been slapped in the face by the facts, where does he have the face to say anything more!

"It seems that the fact of this King Ning's rebellion is conclusive! I'm afraid that King Ning in the Nanjing Zongren Mansion is a fake! Li Dongyang said.

"What a deliberate effort!" Liu Jian sighed lightly, "However, why is Li Shishi also vassalized?" ”

Li Shishi? Everyone was shocked. When it comes to this man, they know it.

"Li Shishi, if the word is empty, a native of Nanchang, a native of Fengcheng (now Fengcheng, Jiangxi). In the second year of Chenghua (1466), he was a jinshi, the director of the penal department, moved to Wailang and Langzhong, and served as the deputy envoy of the inspection to study in Zhejiang. In October of the fifth year of Hongzhi (1492), the imperial history governor of Yunyang was the right capital. In November of the sixth year of Hongzhi, he recalled the affairs of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate. Mu Bin turned another page and read.

This person's official luck is not bad, why should he vassalize King Ning? This is very puzzling.

Moreover, everyone is also puzzled, this Ning King Zhu Chenhao was just reprimanded by Hongzhi for a few words and ordered to return to Tibet, why did he rebel?

Of course, there are some discerning people here who also know the whole story.

It is said that in that year, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di raised troops and launched the Battle of Jingjing, inviting Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, to help.

Zhu Quan, the seventeenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, is called Zhenxian, also known as Han Xuzi, and Mr. Danqiu. The fief was Ningguo (now Ningcheng, Inner Mongolia). In 1391, Zhu Quan, who was only thirteen years old, was already in Ningcheng, and the strength of this vassal king was not inferior to Zhu Di. Two years later, Zhu Quan went to Daning, a feudal domain. Daning is located outside the mouth of Xifeng, belongs to the land of ancient Huizhou, east of Liaozuo, west of Xuanfu, is a big town. Zhu Quan had 80,000 armor soldiers and 6,000 chariots, and his three guards and cavalry were all brave and good at fighting. Zhu Quan has met with the kings many times to go out to fight, and is known for being good at strategy.

In September of that year, Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, attacked Yongping, and King Yan went to the rescue. Wu Gao retreated, and Zhu Di took a small road from Liujiakou to Daning, falsely claiming that he came to ask for help because he was poor.

Zhu Quan invited Zhu Di to ride into the city alone, Zhu Di held Zhu Quan's hand and cried, telling that he had to raise troops as a last resort, and begged him to draft a chapter to apologize for his crimes. Zhu Di lived for a few days, and Zhu Quan treated each other sincerely and was defenseless. The Beiping Jingshui troops ambushed outside the city, and the officers and soldiers gradually entered the city, secretly colluding with the Minister of the Three Guards and the defenders. Only then did Zhu Di say goodbye and leave, Zhu Quan went to the suburbs to feed him, and the ambush soldiers took the opportunity to rise up and hug Zhu Quan forward. The three guards and the guards gathered in one call. The guard Zhu Jian couldn't resist and died in battle. The princesses and concubines of the palace all followed into Songting Pass and returned to Beiping, and Daning became an empty city. After Zhu Quan entered the Yan Army, he often drafted essays for Zhu Di. Zhu Di promised Zhu Quan that after the matter was completed, the world would be divided equally.

Although the scheming Zhu Quan wanted to choose to watch the fire from the other side during the Battle of Jingjing, he was still coerced by Zhu Di to help him achieve his great cause.

However, after the success, Zhu Di did not fulfill his promise and shared the world equally with him. On the contrary, in February of the first year of Yongle (1403), Nanchang was renamed, and Zhu Di personally wrote poems to see him off, and ordered Zhu Quan to take the political secretary as the palace, and the scale of the building did not change.

Thus a calamity was sown. The kings of Ning in the past dynasties were unwilling, thinking that they should divide the world with the Ming Dynasty and embrace half of the country, and the descendants of Zhu Di were always on guard against the rebellion of King Ning, fortunately, until Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, everyone was safe. But this public case has been circulating in people's hearts. Now that King Ning is rebelling, it can be regarded as a long time expected.

But no one expected that Zhu Chenhao would choose such a time!

"Ladies and gentlemen, now is not the time to delve into the causes of the rebellion, we must immediately send troops to quell the rebellion!" Li Dongyang frowned and said in a deep voice.

Liu Jian nodded, agreeing with what he said, but added in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, it is important to calm the chaos, but you also have to be careful of the resurgence of the remnants of the Maitreya Society in southern Xinjiang, and benefit from it!" ”

Hongji nodded, "What Liu Qing said is extremely true! ”

The war report said that after King Ning returned to Nanchang, he immediately held a banquet, invited the governor of Nanzhen and the political envoy of Jiangxi, killed the governor of Nanzhen and the political envoy of Jiangxi at the banquet, and hung their heads on the head of the city to show the public, and took over the yamen of the governor of Nanchang and all the defenses, and then rebelled in Jiangxi, and the whole Jiangxi rebelled with the conspiracy, and the situation deteriorated infinitely. In the entire territory of Jiangxi, countless people have brought their families and mouths, preparing to flee Jiangxi, a place of right and wrong, which makes the whole Jiangxi even more chaotic. ”

"By the way, who reported this battle? How can it be so detailed? Suddenly, Xie Qian asked.

This battle report was reported by Wu Wending, the governor of Ji'an, because of its sudden change, so he made two war reports, one sent to the Nanjing Military Department, and one sent to the Beijing Division. The military situation was urgent, and it was stated in the battle report that he did not dare to slack off, so he rushed to Beijing for 800 miles. Liu Jian explained.

"Ji'an Governor? This Wu Wending? Xie Qianyi frowned.

Mu Bin immediately explained, "Wu Wending, the word Shitai, the number Songyue, and the Songzi people. Hongzhi was a 12-year jinshi and was awarded the title of Ji'an magistrate. A native of Hubei, born in a family of eunuchs, he looks like a tiger with a bear's waist, very strong, and he doesn't look like a scribe at all. ”

Liu Jian said, "Because the prefect of Ji'an and other officials learned of King Ning's rebellion, they immediately fled Ji'an with their families, so Wu Wending is now the only official who stays in Ji'an, and he is now organizing soldiers to defend Ji'an to the death." In the war report, he believed that Ji'an was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the transportation was convenient, so he could resist the rebels and wait for help! ”

He has already found out that King Ning's rebellion has a total of more than 80,000 troops, with the main elite force being the palace guards, and the rest being bandits, robbers, robbers, hooligans, and so on. This rebel army is a ragtag army, and the situation is not hopelessly bad. If reinforcements arrive in time, perhaps, the rebellion can be quelled without leaving Jiangxi. ”

Everyone smiled bitterly, King Ning had been preparing for the rebellion for several generations, and he must have been somewhat sure that he would rebel, how could he be put down so easily? This Wu Wending is really whimsical!

However, at this time, the bad news of King Ning's rebellion came, and it was good news to be able to hear that someone was resisting!

"Report, eight hundred miles urgent!" At this moment, suddenly, there was another urgent report from outside the hall.

Hongji smiled bitterly, is there any bad news today? This is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight!

"Xuan!" At this point, he can only pass it on.

The ministers are all over and down in their hearts, and they are also deeply afraid that there will be bad news, this Ming Dynasty is really a disaster this year!

Another battle report was submitted.

Hongji flipped through and watched, slightly relieved.

Raising his eyes and looking at everyone, "Everyone, this battle report was passed on by the Nanjing Military Department, and it also confirmed that what Wu Wending said was true!" ”

Everyone was relieved, as long as it wasn't worse news!

"However," Hongji's face turned gloomy.

Everyone sighed in their hearts, could it be that there is chaos in southern Xinjiang again?

"You guessed right!" Hongzhi looked around with a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice, "The provinces of southern Xinjiang are also in turmoil, the bandits are ready to move, and the provinces are too busy to take care of themselves, and they can't send reinforcements to reinforce at all, and even the provinces of Yunnan are recuperating and taking care of themselves!" ”

Therefore, the Nanjing Military Department asked for instructions, in order to prevent the situation from deteriorating again, their military department sent troops to quell the chaos first, but they still need the imperial court to send troops to help, otherwise they will be copied back road, and they are afraid that there will be chaos in southern Xinjiang! What are your best plans? ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, after all, he is in charge of the affairs of the army, and the military strength is released, I am afraid that none of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty know him, who does not look at him? ! At this time, His Majesty asked, he had to come out first!

Ma Wensheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, took a step forward, and said, "Your Majesty, the military department really can't send people!" Now the Yellow River in Henan Province has become a disaster, Shandong Province has more than rebellion, the north is in turmoil, just pacified, I am afraid that the army is still needed, the Yanzheng Road in Shanxi is vain to confuse the public, turbulence, Guizhou Milu is turbulent, the state capital is in turmoil, the military strength does not dare to disperse, the remnants of the Maitreya Society in various places frequently commit crimes, so that the state capitals are anxious, therefore, now the military department can not send troops to quell the rebellion! ”

Hongzhi frowned, looked at Ma Wensheng, and said in a bad language, "Ma Qing, according to what you said, let's just watch King Ning rebel?" ”

Ma Wensheng's face changed, and he hurriedly bowed and replied, "The old minister doesn't dare, the old minister thinks that he can only send capable soldiers from all departments of the Beijing Division to quell the rebellion, and, moreover"

At this point, Ma Wensheng was a little hesitant and didn't dare to go on.

"If there is any good plan, as long as it is reasonable, I will naturally approve it!" Hongzhi's eyes froze, and he looked at Ma Wensheng unhappily, secretly angry in his heart, now at a critical juncture, you old boy is actually hiding, what are you going to do? Do you want to see me?

Ma Wensheng didn't dare to slack off, and said what he said in his heart, "Your Majesty, in fact, we still have a team of people who can come in handy immediately!" ”

Yes! For a while, everyone was stunned, there is still an army in the imperial court? Which one is it? Why don't we know?

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian were all in the eye, right! We have it! I couldn't help but look at Hongji in unison.

Hongzhi was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Ma Guangsheng suspiciously, wondering in his heart, why don't we know?

"It's the gift of Ming Zhongxin, the army equipped with weapons!" Ma Wensheng finally said this, "You only need to send this army out, led by a general, and use it reasonably and centrally, and it will definitely succeed!" ”

"You mean?" Hongzhi's eyes also lit up, and he looked at Ma Wensheng with blazing eyes.

"Your Majesty, exactly!" Marven lowered his head and responded.

"Hmm!" Koji fell silent.

Liu Jian and the others looked at each other, and a trace of understanding flashed in their eyes, yes, that army is now His Majesty's heart! And the real strength has yet to be tapped, he must be reluctant!

"Your Majesty, the current matter, it is important to quell the chaos!" Liu Jian came out of class and solemnly arched his hand and said, "Moreover, if the rebellion of King Ning is not pacified as soon as possible, and only the kings of Fan follow suit, at that time, the world will inevitably be full of wars, and with Maitreya will take the opportunity to make trouble, at that time, this Ming Dynasty will be in danger, and the world will be in danger!" Please allow your Majesty to grant permission! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Li Dongyang stepped forward.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Xie Qian also took a step forward.

"The ministers seconded it!" The ministers saw that the three auxiliary ministers had agreed, so let's go! They stepped forward one after another and bowed down.

Hongzhi looked up at the black pressure on the hanging official, and smiled bitterly, "You Aiqing are flat, I am not disallowed, but I am considering the candidate for the general!" ”

"General?" The ministers were stunned for a moment, and they all looked up at Hongji.

Liu Jian and the others suddenly looked at each other, yes! The selection of the general must not be sloppy! After all, this time is not only to lead troops to fight, but also to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting those weapons from being lost, this responsibility is heavenly! If it is accidentally lost, it will be obtained by hostile forces such as the Maitreya Society, and at that time, this great tomorrow will be even more turbulent! And it will shake the country's foundation!
