Leopard room.

Emperor Zhengde didn't mess around today, he was honestly watching the chapter, and he had let the eunuchs deal with this thing before.

The rebellious army is already two hundred miles away from the capital, and Emperor Zhengde is not really mediocre, how can he still be in the mood to play and have fun. Yesterday, he asked Shoufu Li Dongyang: "I am not a tyrannical king, why are Hebei, Shandong, Jiangxi, Sichuan, and Guizhou all rampant with anti-thieves?" ”

Li Dongyang suffered from anal fistula, he had difficulty sitting and standing, and his nose was bleeding again as soon as he spoke, and he wiped it for a while before replying: "Your Majesty has not read the recital for many days?" ”

Emperor Zhengde was silent.

On the third day, Zhang Yong, the eunuch with palm prints, brought a bunch of pieces of music and obediently retreated to the side to serve carefully.

The thieves have all hit the Gyeonggi area, and there are civil unrest all over the country, so there must be something wrong! How could the officials not seize the opportunity?

It's all black materials, including Zhu Houzhao's own black materials. From the emperor, clan, and relatives to the eunuchs, military attachés, and civil servants, the black material of the entire Ming Dynasty elite class was shaken out by the officials who were not afraid of death.

Among them, the most talked about is the encroachment on the fields and the destruction of Ma Zheng, which is also the main reason for the rebellion.

Zhang Yong, the eunuch with palm prints, was very interesting, he didn't dare to hide all his black materials. So he threw away the recital that really impeached him, and asked the well-connected officials to write a few more copies, only talking about trivial and innocuous petty greed and disadvantages.

Zhu Houzhao quickly finished reading these pieces, and was frightened by the shocking content, and sat in the leopard room silent for a long time.

"The Emperor." Zhang Yong came over with a red pen.

Zhu Houzhao picked up the pen and casually approved a few pieces of music, threw the pen away, pointed to the rest of the pieces and said: "These are not sent in the middle." ”

Emperor Zhengde got serious, that must be a Ming Jun with means, and his handling of this matter was wonderful.

Pick a few dispensable clan relatives, honorable relatives, eunuchs, military generals and civil officials, scold those who should be scolded, those who should be deposed, and those who should be demoted. By the way, he abolished one of his imperial villages, so that he could not shake the overall situation, and showed his attitude, and he could also give an explanation to the officials.

As for the pieces that were left behind, they were all relatively serious, and it was difficult to deal with them at such a critical moment, so we had to wait until after the rebel army was wiped out.

Historically, the rebellion of Liu Liu and Liu Qi was pacified, and Yang Tinghe did deal with it accordingly, including Zhengde's own imperial village was laid off. In addition, taxes were exempted from taxes in the war-stricken areas, displaced people were recruited to distribute land, and the land that the magnates wantonly seized was returned to the peasants.

Although it is impossible to be perfect, and it is impossible to clean up the real top elites, at least the number of displaced people can be controlled.

It's a tricky thing, but in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, it's very simple, and the solution can be done in one morning.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty had two meals a day, and there was no lunch to eat, so he could only rely on dim sum to fill his stomach.

Just when Zhengde was drinking noon tea, Qian Ning came over to report: "Emperor, someone has brought it." ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Let him come over." ”

Not long after, that day, following Wang Yuan's buttocks, picking up the small banner of Jinyi Wei who had missed the head of the head, appeared in front of Emperor Zhengde.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Sit down and eat." ”

Qian Ning hugged his fists in thanks, sat down very casually, picked up the pastry and ate it.

The little flag was very restrained, and after thanksgiving, half of his ass sat on the bench.

Zhu Houzhao asked, "What's your name?" ”

The little flag stood up stubbornly: "Humble duty...... Uh, the villain's name is ......"

"Sit down and talk." Zhu Houzhao said.

The little flag could only sit down: "The villain's name is Wu Liande." ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled and asked, "You killed more than ten thieves?" ”

Emperor Zhengde smiled when he spoke, but Wu Liande was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "The villain lies about his military exploits, and he deserves death!" ”

There was no way, the Liangxiang Zhixian was sent to the capital, and the detailed record of Wang Yuan chasing the enemy on that day was recorded. Those who entered Beijing with Song Shu were also twelve prisoners of the rebellious army, and the whole process was explained clearly.

Wang Yuan's deeds have spread in the capital, everyone knows Wang Erlang in Guizhou, and even his poems are popular again.

"Let's talk about it." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

Wu Liande immediately explained honestly, telling him how he was ordered to leave the city, how he met Wang Yuan, and what he saw and heard along the way.

Zhu Houzhao seems to have forgotten that there are thieves two hundred miles away, and he seems to have forgotten the shocking case of corruption and perversion of the law, and he is only interested in the martial arts boy at the moment. He confirmed again: "Is it really a single horse chasing and killing more than 300 thieves, and the horse is invincible for dozens of miles? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is true." Wu Liande said.

Zhu Houzhao was inexplicably excited, got up and walked around, and sighed again: "It's a pity, it's a pity, such a heroic hero, he is actually a scholar!" How could he not be a hereditary military attaché? ”

Qian Ning patted his ass and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, only when the Holy Tomorrow is in the dynasty, will such a civil and military all-round talent appear!" ”

This sycophant was not filmed in place, and Zhu Houzhao suddenly said to the eunuch next to him: "It's twenty-three today, it's time to finish the paper, right?" You go to the Ministry of Rites and Tribute Institute to ask if this Wang Yuan has a Chinese style. If you don't have a Chinese style, let him come to Jinyiwei, I'll give him a thousand households directly! ”

The eunuch was embarrassed: "Emperor, before the twenty-fifth day, the tribute courtyard was locked. The key is in the hands of Yushi, I'm afraid it's ...... I'm afraid that the emperor won't be able to enter even if he comes in person. ”

"Alas!"

Zhu Houzhao sighed, shook his head and said, "Forget it, wait two more days." ”

Two days later, the rebel army attacked the city of Baoding Mansion unfavorably, and actually directly waved troops to the capital, and in a blink of an eye it had arrived at the city of Zhuozhou, which was only more than 100 miles away from the Beijing Division.

Ma Zhongxi was urgently promoted to the right capital of the imperial history and supervised military affairs; Hui Anbo Zhang Wei served as the chief military officer.

There are horses, China and Xi to unify the army, and there are only thieves, and they can't make waves.

In fact, Ma Zhongxi did not choose to defend at all, but directly took the remaining Beijing camp and took the initiative to attack the thieves.

Hearing that it was Ma Zhongxi who commanded the army, Liu Liu and Liu Qi didn't fight, so they were so frightened that they chose to retreat directly, and turned south to kill Hejian Mansion.

The danger of the capital was solved in this way.

Liu Liu and Liu Qi are really not good at fighting, it's just that Ma Duo runs fast, and those young people who are coerced by them also say that they will throw it.

After the rebels retreated, Zhu Houzhao became chic again and sent eunuchs to the Gongyuan to inquire about the news.

The reading of the papers was completed on the 25th, but there was still a lot of follow-up work, and the list was not filled in until the 27th.

At this time, the government will send someone to gallop to report the good news, go to the hometown of the new imperial examination to send the good news, and ask for some good money by the way. There are often evil scoundrels, who beat up the good news officials halfway, robbed the good news and pretended to be themselves, and ran to several provinces just to get those good money.

When the scholars saw the list, it was already the morning of the 28th.

"Hit?" Zhu Houzhao sent someone to ask in advance.

The eunuch replied, "Yes." Lijing Kui, third place. ”

Zhu Houzhao said depressedly: "Why is he? If you practice martial arts so well, how can you still have time to study? It's cheating! ”

The eunuch opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Qian Ning smiled and said with a bad idea: "Emperor, since this person can take the third place in the examination, why not wait for the palace to test him as the champion?" The turbans have nothing to say. If you click on the champion, you will be able to do the revision of the Hanlin Academy, and after a few months, you will be promoted to be a waiter. At that time, this person can be recruited to accompany the emperor to read history. ”

"That's right, this plan is wonderful, you are really my son!" Zhu Houzhao immediately clapped his hands in admiration.
