Chapter 33: Dingyuan Qi's Clan
That night, outside the Yongding Gate of the Beijing Division, the banner of the word "Qi" rose from the horizon in the direction of Tongzhou, and an army came to the outer city of Beijing with neat steps.
As soon as the leader gave an order, the remaining soldiers dispersed in an orderly manner and began to camp.
The generals and colonels of the Beijing army on duty at the Yongding Gate gathered together, and they were shocked to see that the soldiers and horses under the city were neat and tidy, and they moved freely.
"It's the Zhejiang soldiers who are here."
"They are still pulling cannons, let alone a dozen, right?"
"Who can bring out such soldiers and horses?"
"Who else can there be, it must be Qi Shuai from Dingyuan!"
The Qi family army who came to Beijing was about 3,000 people, which was already a lot, but what was commendable was that they camped late at night and did not make much noise.
Soon, a eunuch walked out of the Yongding Gate, took a look outside the city, and found that a general was majestic and heroic, directing the camp, so he walked directly to the front and asked:
"You are General Qi from Dingyuan, right?"
"Father-in-law is ——?" Qi Jin turned his head.
Seeing his dignified appearance, the eunuch was secretly surprised in his heart, and said: "Our family is called Li Chaoqing, the emperor's holy message, as soon as General Qi arrives in Beijing, he will immediately enter the palace to face the saint." ”
Qi Jin didn't dare to slack off, and immediately nodded yes, then took out a few pieces of broken silver from his waist, stuffed them into the hands of the eunuch, and said with a smile:
"The villain has just arrived, and I hope that my father-in-law can make it convenient and take care of him."
Li Chaoqing was originally the palm seal of the Divine Palace Supervisor, and the last Yuan Day was properly arranged, Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Youxiao mentioned it as if they were nothing, and now they have been transferred to the Admiral Nanhaizi.
Qi Jin naturally understands that to be good with him is to be good with the "eunuchs" who are currently receiving the holy favor, and in the future, whether it is military salary or returning to the local area, he will get a lot of benefits.
As for reputation, how can we take care of so much if we lick blood on our knife heads!
Li Chaoqing quietly accepted the silver, and said in his heart that he had seen so many martial artists, and he was still the most knowledgeable.
For a while, Li Chaoqing had a good impression of Qi Jin, and wanted to go back and mention it more in front of Gonggong Wei, so he smiled and said:
"Whatever Qi Shuai says, it's all for the emperor. Hurry up and enter the palace, these brothers of yours will have the help of the Beijing army to take care of them. ”
Qi Jin breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his fists and said, "Please ask your father-in-law to lead the way." ”
......
In the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, in addition to the young man who pretended to read, there was also a sleepy teacher.
This "Mr. Teaching" is none other than Ye Xianggao, the head of the cabinet.
Zhu Youxiao was on the kang across the pot, and the prince was not the prince, so he directly stepped in one step and ascended the throne as the emperor.
Although Zhu Youxiao was literate and wrote calligraphy well, he did not undergo the serious "royal education" in the eyes of literati.
Therefore, every few days there is a prayer day for a prayer day.
There are several generals in Zuo Shuzi, and Sun Chengzong is one of them.
This feast is to let the emperor undergo orthodox education, but Zhu Youxiao understands in his heart that to put it bluntly, it is still Confucian brainwashing.
From last year to now, every time Zhu Youxiao came to Japan, he directly called the two little eunuchs to go to Nanhaizi.
The civil servants vied with each other to protest this, and Zhu Youxiao also turned a deaf ear.
Now that Ye Xianggao is the first assistant, Zhu Youxiao remembered to talk about it on the feast day, but he asked Ye Xianggao to talk about it by name.
When Ye Xianggao heard the news, he was very frightened.
The last time he went to meet the saint, the next day Wei Zhongxian sent someone to arrest Wang Zhicai, who was in charge of presiding over the attack case, to Dongchang, and prepared to overturn the retrial.
The three major cases are to be overturned and retried, and the most panicked is the Donglin Party.
The aftermath of the Donglin Academy case has not subsided, the three major cases have risen again, Wang Zaijin is presiding over Jingcha again, but Ye Xianggao has not had any restraining effect after entering the cabinet.
Combined with the fact that Ye Xianggao directly reported his illness at home after leaving the palace that night, many officials felt that something was wrong.
They met the next day and went to Yefu together to ask for an understanding.
Why did you go to the Qianqing Palace after returning to Beijing, and the three major cases were about to be retried?
This is not over, at the Aoshan Lantern Festival, Zhu Youxiao held Ye Xianggao and Wei Zhongxian's hands together, and immediately crushed Yang Lian's fragile little nerve.
In the past few days, Yang Lian has been blocking outside the door of the Ye Mansion almost as soon as he has spare time, and Ye Xianggao has not had time to hide, how dare he come up to talk about the feast.
But he really didn't expect that Zhu Youxiao actually hand-picked him to speak every day, this is not going to let himself go!
The emperor appointed a person to say that it was a grace that could be encountered but not sought in Shilin, but for Ye Xianggao, the most important thing at this juncture was to turn a deaf ear.
If you had just finished speaking, the emperor would have issued an edict in the blink of an eye, and a hundred mouths would not be able to explain it.
Sun Chengzong and several other Japanese speakers understood very well that at this juncture, since the emperor did not let him come, it was better to go home and stay obediently.
This is the scene of the current feast day, one pretending to be asleep, the other pretending to read, no one really wants to teach anything, and no one expects to learn anything here.
In a word, they all have their own thoughts.
After a while, Wang Tiqian said outside the door: "Your Majesty, General Qi has arrived." ”
Zhu Youxiao threw down the book and said happily: "Spread quickly!" ”
Qi Jin, I've finally looked forward to you!
You must know that he is not one of those generals who rely on the shadow of his ancestors, this is a ruthless person who has followed Qi Jiguang all the way since he was a child and killed with military exploits!
Fortunately, it was the right time to wear it, otherwise two years later, the last Qi family army would have died in the bloody battle of the Hunhe River.
With such an army by his side, how could Zhu Youxiao not feel at ease?
Waiting for Qi Jin's momentary effort, Zhu Youxiao was already gearing up, and he couldn't directly lead the army deep into Liaodong to pacify the trouble of Jiannu!
Suddenly, Qi Jin, who was dressed in military uniform, went to Dachao in front of the door, and after entering the door, he didn't look up to look at this side, and directly knelt down and said:
"Ministers and relatives Jin, see the emperor!"
"Excuse me, sit down!" After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, the two eunuchs in the side hall hurriedly came over with chairs and placed them next to Ye Xianggao, who was snoring like thunder.
Unexpectedly, such a small action of the little eunuch still woke up the "sleeping" Shoufu Ye Xianggao.
I saw that the little old man let out an "ah", and then found that there was another person in front of him with a confused face.
Zhu Youxiao naturally knew that he was acting, and said with a smile: "This is the descendant of the Dingyuan Qi family, my right-hand man!" ”
"The Yongwei Battalion has been put in order, and in the future, I will hand it over to him to bring."
After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he looked at Ye Xianggao quietly.
The latter naturally understood in his heart that this was the emperor testing himself, and he was silent for a long time, but his snoring gradually started.
With such acting skills, Qi Jin was dumbfounded.
Zhu Youxiao didn't care, no matter if he was in Cao Ying, his heart was in Han or what, as long as he was here, he could have the effect of splitting Donglin.
Turning around, Qi Jin remembered Emperor Fangcai's words, and his heart was moved, these four words were too heavy.
He got up in a panic and half-knelt on the ground again: "The minister has been at home for several years, and he has made no achievements, so he is ashamed!" ”
"I said you deserve it, and you deserve it." Zhu Youxiao laughed a few times, got up from the couch, deliberately patted him on the shoulder a few times, and said:
"Aiqing knows that I called you, is there something wrong?"
Qi Jin said: "The border court is troublesome, and the minister is willing to lead his troops to 3,000 soldiers, and if he is not peaceful, he will not return it!" ”
"You're wrong." Zhu Youxiao stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said quietly:
"Last year, I issued an edict to rectify the Beijing camp, and selected 3,000 warriors to be organized into the Yongwei battalion.
"Aiqing is over the age of six, and I have no choice but to summon you to Beijing to train the Yongwei battalion."
