In July of the eighth year of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty had 100,000 soldiers on the front line of Liaodong, Xuanfu and Ningxia to prepare for the war.

Zhu Di ordered Shen Xuan, the Duke of the Kingdom, to supervise the Chinese army, and Xingning Bomeng and An Yuan Boliu were promoted to deputies. Xingning Bo Meng led the Shenji Battalion and supervised the Daning Firearms Battalion.

Ningyuan Hou He Fu supervised the left army, Wu'an Hou Zheng Heng supervised the right army, and Tong'an Hou Huozhen supervised the rear army.

Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao supervised Zuoye, and Cao De, the governor of Ningyang, and Hu Yuan, the commander of the capital, were deputies. Guang Enbo Liu Cai supervised the right right, and the governor Ma Rong and Chen Ji were the deputies.

In August, Zhu Di personally conquered Hu Lu in Chengtianmen, and sent Tai Sui Qixu and other gods.

After the sacrifice, Emperor Yongle ascended the general's platform and ordered the three armies, pointing to the north.

"Out of the stopper!"

"Roar!"

War drums sounded and trumpets sounded in the sky.

Emperor Yongle wore a red twelve-seam martial arts, and his robe was decorated with colorful jade. Rings, leather belts, heavy bottoms. Wearing a sword on his waist, holding a jade gui, and engraved with a seal inscription "Punish the guilty and settle the people".

The frame was sent to Beijing, and the Yongle Emperor sent the commander to complete the Yan Timur, and the eunuchs also lost the Tatar and Hami tribes, and gave the color coins and treasure money, saying that the army was rebelling today, and there was no need to panic.

"I have nothing to do with you."

In other words, know each other, avoid it, hello, hello, hello, everyone. I don't know each other, I make some small moves in private, pass on news to Wara, and even join forces with Mahamu to fight against Daming, and bear the consequences. When I've cleaned up the war, I'll burn your tent when I turn around!"

Zhu Di's edict, perhaps called "intimidation-intimidation", is very effective.

The Tatar Taibao Ma Erhawe and the Privy Council warmly received the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, patted his chest and said that he would definitely follow the instructions of the Ming Emperor and never reveal any news to Warat, nor would he listen to any support.

"The angel is reassured, and the Tartars are not at odds with the Varats. When Mahamu sends a messenger to come, he will surely send it to the great emperor. ”

The Tatars were simply frightened by the Ming army.

Anyone who is pressed to the ground and beaten back and forth a few times, with a blue nose and swollen face, and then a group kick, will be frightened, and he will not be able to resist at all.

Hami Zhongshun Wang Tokhoff is like a Ming hardcore, without saying a word, he took the edict, and further expressed his willingness to send cavalry to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty's military operations, and fiercely stabbed Wara in the back.

"The prince is so loyal, our family will definitely repay the Son of Heaven truthfully."

Tokh suddenly frowned, "If it weren't for His Majesty's grace, how could the little king ascend to the throne and become a slave in the sheepfold!" Such a great favor cannot be repaid. Please ask the angel to tell His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty that Wara dares to oppose the Son of Heaven, and the heavens will not allow it, and the five thousand warriors of Hami will listen to the dispatch of the Ming Dynasty. Xiao Wang is willing to be a pawn for the Son of Heaven and open the way for the army! ”

Tokhoff blushed, thumping his chest, looking brave and loyal.

Yisha was moved on the surface, left the tent, and pouted, compared to Arutai and Mahamu, this one who was almost ousted from the throne by his relatives, was obviously more cunning.

"See?" Yishaha tapped the little eunuch's shoulder with a horsewhip, "When you see people, you talk about people, and when you see ghosts, you talk nonsense." Taking advantage of the situation, this Zhongshun King is a really smart person. ”

However, in the end, when you are younger and more anxious, you will show traces of lightness.

Want to take the opportunity to replace the Tatars and Varat in the steppe?

"Hey!"

Yisha sneered a few times, don't be smart but be smart and mistaken. His Majesty can put him on the throne, and he can also make him fall into the dust. At that point, it will be too late to regret it.

The reaction of Tatar and Hami was expected by Zhu Di.

The messenger sent back the news that the army had arrived at the Nisha River, the second dragon and tiger platform, and passed the Juyong Pass.

The day after leaving the customs, the army was stationed in Yong'andian.

In the evening, when we set up camp, there was a sudden heavy rain in the sky, and hail fell in the rain, and it fell on the armor and weapons, and it thuded. A large hailstone fell from the thumb, and several officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion were injured.

The rain was getting heavier, and I couldn't see anyone from the two arms.

There was a roar of thunder, lightning pierced through the clouds, and a tent was struck by lightning, and it caught fire in an instant.

The officers and soldiers were shocked and fled one after another.

In the Chinese army, Zhu Di was promoted to the tent and was arranging an offensive plan with the generals. Suddenly hearing an urgent report outside the tent, he immediately got up and walked to the front of the tent, "What's the alarm?" ”

"陛xià, the ...... of the heavenly thunder"

Before the soldier finished speaking, another lightning bolt struck, and he was only a dozen meters away from Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was also shocked.

Suddenly, there was a strong gust of wind, and people couldn't open their eyes.

When the wind stopped, the rain subsided, and the clouds cracked in the sky, and rays of sunlight diffused through the clouds.

Standing behind Zhu Di, Meng pulled Shen Xuan's cloak and made a mouth shape when Shen Xuan turned around.

Shen Xuan shook his head and grabbed Meng's wrist with his backhand, "Don't move." ”

Meng Wu was puzzled, and suddenly saw two civil officials come out, and said loudly with extremely full emotion: "Your Majesty, this is a good omen!" Conquer Warat, the heavenly army will win! ”

Uncle Meng's eyes widened.

I choked in my throat in one breath, I couldn't go up, I couldn't go down, except for grinding my teeth, I could only grind my teeth. Learn his methods, his words are word-for-word, have you paid the patent fee?!

Wu Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry in Beijing, and Zheng Li, the edict of Hanlin, are good, this official remembers you!

When the auspicious omen fell, Zhu Di was naturally overjoyed and took the opportunity to deliver a wonderful speech, entitled "On the Victory of Our Army and the Defeat of Warat".

When the generals heard this, their blood boiled, and they raised their arms and shouted, hoping that they could immediately draw their knives and cut each other with the strong men of Wara, so as to provide more adequate arguments for the arguments of the Son of Heaven.

At the end of the speech, the Huotou Army had prepared steamed bun hot soup. Meng didn't have to do it himself, he had his own soldiers to send it to the tent.

Still holding his breath in his heart, Uncle Meng bared out a mouthful of white teeth, and his action of pulling the steamed buns was quite fierce.

Grandpa Guo was calm, a few steamed buns went down, drank the hot soup, signaled the soldiers to retreat, and pinched Meng's earlobe.

"Twelve Lang, do you remember what Xuan said before leaving?"

“…… Remember. ”

"Twelve Lang handed in the iron coupon, why?"

“……”

"The matter has come to this, Twelve Lang is still reluctant?"

Lowering his eyes, Meng didn't speak. Leaning on Shen Xuan's shoulder, there was no familiar cold fragrance, but a mixed smell of leather and armor, which was not good, but it made him gradually calm down.

It's him who is different.

Obviously you have already made a decision, why bother thinking about coming forward?

The big hand covered the back of Meng's head, the fingertips ran through the black hair, and the low voice slowly flowed past his ears, comforting him.

"Now that he has made up his mind, Twelve Lang should know that with you and me today, there are military achievements, but great achievements are not necessary. Moreover, reactive power is no fault. ”

"Yes."

"After this expedition, I want to ask the Son of Heaven to return the official seal and resign from the post of Beijing town guard."

"Grandpa Guo?"

"The Son of Heaven is determined to move the capital, and this matter is not too late."

"Then I'...... too"

"Twelve-Lang doesn't have to." Shen Xuan chuckled, held up Meng's chin, and pecked the tip of his nose, "I can't say, in the future, the family affairs of the Guogong Mansion and the Bofu will fall on the shoulders of Twelve Lang."

"......" means, he is the breadwinner?

"Yes."

After being stunned for two seconds, Meng suddenly smiled.

"Good!"

Raising the grandfather of the country?

It's beautiful to think about.

Some pictures that could not be used by outsiders flashed in his mind, and Meng suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with resigning from the official position and handing over power, leaving only the title, and lying on the mountain of gold to be a "qualified" noble.

Knowing that Meng had figured it out, Shen Xuan tightened his arms.

There were some things he didn't say explicitly.

If the Son of Heaven does not exalt him, it does not mean that he will no longer be needed.

On the contrary, the heroes of the Jingnan Dynasty in the DPRK and the generals left behind in the Hongwu period such as the Duke of Wei are all in their twilight years. The Son of Heaven belongs to the King of Han, and he will leave him with available civil and military affairs, just like Emperor Hongwu back then.

lowered his eyes and patted Meng's back.

The king of Han is ambitious, and his intention to fight is not weaker than today. For the sake of the society, even if he does not resign, the Son of Heaven will also press it. In the year of its establishment, the Duke of the Kingdom was a first-class military general. To reseal it is to force the successor to abandon him, and even become a whetstone for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

"Grandpa Guo?"

"Nothing."

Shen Xuan lowered his head and rubbed Meng's cheek, his dark eyes were deep.

Meng blushed inexplicably. Pat your cheek, reasoning, it's been more than ten years, as for it?

As you can imagine, reality has shattered the theory.

The sudden rise in the temperature of the tent is clearly indicated, as for. It will be the same for another ten years.

At dawn the next day, the army was drawn and camped.

At the same time, the edict and edict issued by the Son of Heaven on the way arrived in Nanjing.

Zhongzhi used the treasure of training to send it directly to the inner court and handed it over to Queen Xu. The imperial decree was covered with the treasure of the emperor-pro-pro-pro, and six parts of the scripture pavilion were sent to Pu'an Prefecture. There was also an edict handed over to Jinyiwei, which was carried by Yang Duo closely, and he was born to leave Beijing in one step.

"Order the Marquis of Xincheng Zhang to send 1,500 officers and troops to escort King Ping into Beijing."

"The long history of the Ping Wangfu is indecent, does not fulfill his duties, has a personal relationship with the criminal ministers, and goes to the brocade prison."

"Princess Ping removed the title and ordered her to retire to the Taoist Temple to pray for King Ping."

"The prince of King Ping returned to Beijing in September to serve King Ping."

"Capture Pu'anzhou-demons-monks-several people, and take back the degree."

"To build the Guizhou Sanglu Division, all those who are ordained in the southwestern provinces will report to the directory of their hometown."

Several imperial orders were issued, and the ministers had no time to react.

If the Son of Heaven is in Nanjing, he can still maneuver one or two. The Son of Heaven is outside the plug, and Beijing No. 6 and Nanjing No. 6 can't eat in a pot at all, let alone count on it. I could only watch as the Edict of the Son of Heaven went through the motions in Nanjing and was quickly sent to Guizhou.

In addition to the edict of the Son of Heaven, Empress Xu's attitude also made the courtiers beat a drum in their hearts.

Tai-Zu-Gao Emperor old system, Hou-Gong-not interfere in politics.

Empress Xu is like Queen Ma and is known for her virtue. Now I have changed the past, received the decree of the Son of Heaven, took the token of the Middle Palace, and ordered the palace people to go out of Beijing with the Jinyi Guard, one by one, vigorously and resolutely, all of which are frightening.

What's really going on in Pu'an?

Is King Ping a real disease?

If King Ping is really terminally ill, it is rumored in the court that Princess Ping is hiding King Ping's illness, I am afraid that it will be ......

The courtiers had their own guesses, but none of them announced them. Thinking of the order given by the Son of Heaven to the Marquis of Xincheng, the Jinyi Guard, who went out of the city overnight, was already in cold sweat on his forehead.

The sky of the Ping Wangfu is probably about to change.

In Kunning Palace, Queen Xu sat quietly at the table.

On the sandalwood case, a three-foot-high copper stove is fragrant.

The big red sleeves are swinging, and the snow is condensed on the wrists. Where the pen is written, it seems to be a blade slashing, and the axe is chopping.

After writing a pair of words, Queen Xu put down her pen.

The palace attendants in the palace immediately stepped forward and handed over the towels.

"People out of town?"

"Back to Your Highness, I left yesterday."

"Yes." Empress Xu reflexively left, and suddenly stopped, "Burn it." ”

"Yes."

The palace people promised to mention a pair of words on the case, but they were reluctant, and they had to cut it and press it in the brazier to burn it out.

"Your Highness, why do you burn it? It's a pity. ”

The palace people who spoke had been by Queen Xu's side for nearly 30 years and were loyal.

Empress Xu shook her head, leaned on the couch, supported her forehead with one hand, and closed her eyes.

Full of murderous paper, it will only be trouble if you don't burn it.

Concubine Zhang.

The son of this palace, this palace can be disappointed, but it can't be used by others!

If you dare to do it, you should suffer the consequences.

In September of the eighth year of Yongle, Yang Duo and his entourage arrived at the Pingwang Mansion in Pu'an Prefecture.

The gate of the palace was closed, and there were already soldiers under the command of the Marquis of Xincheng "guarding" all around. Zhang Fu is still in Jiaozhi, and the leader of the troops is a deputy general under Zhang Fu.

"Commander Yang."

Recognize Yang Duo, and the deputy general salutes first.

After Yang Duo returned the salute, he directly took out the edict to arrest the officials and subordinates of the palace and cancel the title of Princess Ping, "Arrest the sinner by the will of the Son of Heaven and call the door." ”

The voice did not fluctuate much, but the handsome face was cold and intimidating.

It is said to be a door, which is more like smashing the door.

"Commander Yang, is this inappropriate?"

"This official is at the behest of the Son of Heaven, and Governor Liu thinks it's inappropriate?"

"Don't dare."

Liu Dudu's forehead was sweating, and he didn't say more.

A word of discord provoked this evil star, and he was invited to prison in a blink of an eye, for a prince who was about to fall, it was not worth it.

The people in the palace were panicked, Zhu Gaochi was bedridden, unconscious, and out of shape.

Princess Ping sat on the edge of the couch, with a red coat, a phoenix-patterned xia veil, a red Luo long skirt, a Jiuzhai crown on her head, and exquisite makeup, which could not hide her haggard face.

"Your Highness," Princess Ping held King Ping's hand, her voice ethereal, "it shouldn't be like this...... His Royal Highness should be crowned with great treasures, and Zhanji will sit on the world...... The concubines and concubines are the crown princess, the queen, and the queen mother...... It shouldn't be like this......"

Wang An was so frightened that he almost couldn't hold the medicine bowl.

If she is so rebellious, the princess must be crazy. If it spreads, the prince is destined to lose the throne when he recovers from his illness, and the prince may not be able to keep the throne! The people who serve the prince, if one counts as one, don't even want to live!

Thinking of this, Wang Anxin was ruthless, and glanced at several other eunuchs, since he couldn't live, what scruples did he have!

"Princess, I'm afraid you're too tired, so let's go to the side hall to rest."

"Presumptuous!" Princess Ping was indignant, "You dare to do this?!" ”

Wang An ignored Princess Ping's scolding, and asked her to be "invited" into the side hall, knelt in front of King Ping's couch, and knocked her head three times.

"Your Highness, the slave is incompetent and can't do her best for Your Highness, only this life can be used. The slave and maid are gone, take care of your Highness! ”

Wang An got up, his forehead was red, and he walked out of the inner hall without looking back.

After he left, Zhu Gaochi still didn't open his eyes, his thin fingers suddenly trembled, and there was a line of turbid tears in the corners of his eyes.

Before long, Wang An crashed into the Duanli Gate, shouted before he died, and the long history of the palace conspired with the demon-monk, intending to hold King Ping hostage. King Ping was harmed by a traitor, his body could not move, his mouth could not speak, and he did not mean to deceive the saints. He is a slave and maid, and he can't share the worries of the prince, so he can only die to prove the prince's innocence.

The reason is far-fetched, and the careful thinking is full of loopholes.

However, Wang An died a tragic death, which was seen by the officials and soldiers before his death, and when it was introduced to the people, it will surely attract sympathy.

Liu Dudu didn't know what to do with it, and hesitated. Yang Duo stood with his hands in his hands, looked at Wang An who was lying in a pool of blood, and asked the palace and the Tai Hospital, who came with him, to judge him, "Diagnose His Royal Highness King Ping." ”

King Ping won't die, but that's about it.

In the side hall, Princess Ping saw the palace people who conveyed Yi's will, and her pupils suddenly constricted.

"I don't believe it, I ......"

Before the words fell, two palace people stepped forward and got rid of her hair crown.

A bowl of decoction, three feet of white silk, and a pair of scissors are her final destination.

In history, King Ping and Princess Ping are deeply affectionate. King Ping was seriously ill, and the princess removed the crown and retreated to the Taoist temple to pray for the prince. Folk praise.

Since the eighth year of Yongle, Princess Ping retreated to the Taoist temple to escape the world, and no one has seen it again. Until the prince succeeded to the throne for ten years, the princess was feathered. With the road number "filial piety" into the burial, not into the king's tomb.

King Ping's mansion was in trouble, and the Jinyi guard and 1,500 guards escorted King Ping into Beijing. Due to King Ping's illness, the speed of the team continued to slow down, and it was only in mid-November that they arrived in Tianfu.

At this time, the Ming army successively broke the Warak Lieyi Division, the Hui Te Division, and the Xuanluo Division. He killed the leader of the Kelie Yiti tribe, Taiping, captured the leader of the Huite tribe, Bal Polo, and captured the Khan Atai who was supported by Wara in the upper reaches of the Us River.

After this battle, the Warat tribes finally followed in the footsteps of the Tatars, died and fled, and the rest became prisoners of the Ming army.

Shen Xuan led the Chinese army, and his appearance was remarkable, and he was praised many times by Emperor Yongle.

Meng understands that Grandpa Guo wants to keep a low profile. But with his prestige, it is undoubtedly quite difficult to achieve this goal.

Grandpa Guo's aura is too strong, and when he walks on the battlefield, he shines like a morning star. As soon as one of the Warat soldiers recognized him, the surrounding area was instantly emptied by five meters. This kind of deterrent is not as good as the battle-hardened veterans.

After the battle was over, and the main force of Wara was eliminated, Zhu Di was not in a hurry to return to the court.

Mahamu ran away and had to be caught.

It is said that this man fled to the White Horde. Emperor Yongle was very interested in crossing the grassland, giving full play to the spirit of peace and fraternity, admiring his neighbors, and visiting his new neighbors.

Regardless of whether Mahamu's escape route was true or not, Uncle Meng only knew that another neighbor of Daming was going to be unlucky.

It can be seen that it is not easy to work for Lao Zhu's family. It's even more difficult to be neighbors with Lao Zhuren.
