Needless to say, the immediate priority now is indeed to put down the rebellion first.

However, in the end, how to do it will have to solicit the opinions of all parties.

Moreover, Emperor Hongzhi's original intention of letting Zhu Houzhao supervise the country was also to test the loyalty of the ministers of the court, and then the rebellion of King Anhua happened to be a rare opportunity.

On top of this matter, how many people are sincere in solving troubles for the imperial court, and how many people are thinking about themselves, these are all obvious and clear.

Xie Zhi got up and responded: "A certain advanced palace, let's see what Your Majesty has to say." ”

At this time, it is really necessary to see how Emperor Hongzhi will deal with it.

Perhaps Emperor Hongzhi was not worried about Zhu Houzhao, so he personally commanded the rebellion.

However, I don't want who is in command of the counterinsurgency, Xie Zhi, as an auxiliary general, is also an important target of the crusade, and he must enter the palace to face this problem as soon as possible.

Xie Zhi hurriedly entered the palace, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the warm pavilion, he greeted Gu Dayong.

Gu Dayong was a little overjoyed when he saw Xie Zhi, and said: "Yunzhong Hou, you are here, our family is going to look for you, go in quickly, Your Highness is waiting for you." ”

Xie Zhidu has already received the news, and Zhu Houzhao must have received the news a long time ago.

So Xie Zhi was not surprised at all about Zhu Houzhao's search for him, but he indifferently raised his legs and entered the door.

In the warm pavilion, Zhu Houzhao sat in front of the throne with anger on his face, and when he saw Xie Zhi coming in, he snorted angrily: "Xie Wu, are you here?" You've already received the news of King Anhua's rebellion, right? ”

Xie Zhi nodded and replied: "Received, the minister just received the news and entered the palace." ”

After that, Xie Zhi began to plead guilty, and said: "Your Highness, the minister really deserves to die, if it weren't for the minister, the king of Anhua would not have made such a move." ”

Although it shows that everyone knows that King Anhua's Qingjun side is just an excuse for rebellion, in any case, King Anhua's army has something to do with him, and some things that should be said still have to be said.

Zhu Houzhao glanced up at Xie Zhi and asked out loud, "Are you a traitor?" ”

Does this still work? Xie Zhi nodded and replied with sincerity: "Loyalty and treachery are relative, but the minister thinks that the minister is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the court, and he has no two hearts. ”

Xie Zhi said it so carefully, but he didn't expect it to be a roll of Zhu Houzhao's eyes.

Zhu Hou glanced at Xie Zhi and said, "That's it, the rebels and thieves, it's just to find an excuse for yourself." ”

Anyway, as long as Zhu Houzhao doesn't abandon him like a cover.

Xie Zhi immediately said: "The imperial history of the Five Armies Metropolitan Procuratorate stationed in Ningxia has just put the King of Anhua in close contact with the Ningxia Guards and the gentry, and before the minister has time to report the news to His Royal Highness, he received the news that the King of Anhua has already raised troops, and it seems that the King of Anhua has already planned to raise troops. ”

Rebellion is a simple thing, you have to do all aspects of the preparation work sufficiently, even if the head of the king of Anhua is not enough, not as full as Zhu Di's preparation for the rebellion, but it must have taken a lot of effort.

Zhu Houzhao has always been very keen on leading troops to fight, and asked tentatively: "Xie Wu, what if you say that this palace is a personal expedition?" ”

"What?" Xie Zhi exclaimed, how could there be a prince of the prison country who personally recruited it?

If Zhu Houzhao was not still in the prison now, it would be feasible to go to the country in person, but Zhu Houzhao is still in the prison country, and the affairs of the DPRK and China have not yet been figured out, so he will go to the pro-campaign, and there is probably no one in the court and the central government to support it.

Besides, the Jingshi is 108,000 miles away from Ningxia, the place of the rebellion of the King of Anhua, and there is no need for the royal driver to set off from here to conquer in person. ，

The relationship between Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao is extraordinary, and for some disagreements, Xie Zhi also dared to persuade him bluntly, and directly denied it: "Not well." ”

Originally, there were still some expectations, but after hearing Xie Zhi's reply, Zhu Houzhao drooped his head, with some unhappiness, and said: "After receiving this news, the palace told his father, but he didn't expect to get the scolding of his father, and his father's will was to let the palace dispatch soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, and the palace has never commanded so many soldiers and horses, and it is really a little lacking in confidence, rather than this, it is better to let the palace fight directly with the rebels." ”

No wonder Emperor Hongzhi simply asked Zhu Hou to take care of the country, so that he could experience him.

There was a chance to win a decisive victory thousands of miles away in the handsome tent, but he had to fight in front of the enemy, which is afraid that no one would choose this way except for a fool.

Xie Zhi was helpless and said: "Your Highness is the prince, the soldiers and horses in the world belong to Your Majesty, and they also belong to Your Highness, Your Highness should get used to how to command, how to lay out, in fact, these songs are also simple, Your Highness only needs to have awe of every soldier to fight every battle." ”

As he was talking, Gu Dayong, who was guarding outside the door, spoke up and said, "Your Highness, the three scholars of the cabinet ask to see you." ”

How to send troops and how to defeat the enemy, even if Zhu Houzhao has no confidence in his heart, he has to face it.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Houzhao finally responded: "Let them in." ”

After being the prince of the country for a few days, when Zhu Houzhao saw Liu Jian and other old ministers again, he became more and more like the Son of Heaven, not like the original, it was completely the attitude of the students towards the teacher.

The three of them entered and greeted Zhu Houzhao first.

Zhu Houzhao's face was a little serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The three masters sit down first, and the palace will immediately convene the military department and the chief officer of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to negotiate and deal with this matter." ”

Since it was a rebellion of a local vassal king, it was related to the use of troops, whether it was suppression or recruitment, it had to be handled through consultation between the Ministry of War, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the newly established Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Five Armies.

Xie Qian and the other cabinet scholars were not in a hurry to say more, and sat down according to their words.

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and some high-ranking officials who had access to the temple quickly received the news of King Anhua's rebellion.

As soon as Zhu Houzhao sent out a summon to the palace with the chief official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Five Armies, many civil servants gathered outside the Fengtian Gate.

Although these people are powerless, they have their own opinions, and they are all clamoring to see Zhu Houzhao.

No matter how he chose to quell the rebellion in the end, Zhu Houzhao was not prepared to summon those civil ministers.

However, since those ministers have gathered, Zhu Houzhao is no longer willing to discuss this matter with those ministers, but he must also see them.

There was no way, so Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to send someone to open the Fengtian Hall and temporarily convene the evening dynasty.

Before opening the Fengtian Temple, Zhu Houzhao also sent someone to ask Emperor Hongzhi.

It's a pity that Emperor Hongzhi still doesn't seem to care about this matter at all, and bluntly said that Zhu Houzhao is now in charge of the country, and Zhu Houzhao has the final say on how to deal with it.

In the past, Zhu Houzhao hoped that he could have the final say.

Now that he suddenly began to give orders, Zhu Houzhao was really a little uncomfortable, after getting this order from Emperor Hongzhi, in a panicked scene, he finally rushed to Fengtian Hall with Xie Zhi and the three cabinet scholars waiting in the warm pavilion.

The warm pavilion is next to the Fengtian Temple, and it is not a few steps away.

Xie Zhi grabbed the Son of Heaven Sword on his waist, and whispered in Zhu Houzhao's ear: "Your Highness, the Son of Heaven Sword in the minister's hand is not a vegetarian, if someone embarrasses His Highness, the minister will make him look good." ”

When Emperor Hongzhi gave Xie Zhi the sword of the Son of Heaven, he fought with the subordinates and the king.

If there are courtiers and Zhu Houzhao, Xie Zhi can teach a lesson in his right words, and if Zhu Houzhao has misconduct, Xie Zhi can also use any method to correct it, which is not a big rebellion.

After listening to what Xie Zhi said, Zhu Houzhao's eyes fell on the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand, and he finally had some confidence.

This matter is also related to Xie Zhi, Xie Zhi is not so easy to bully, if someone really dares to twitter on this matter, when the talk is endless, Xie Zhi really dares to draw out the sword of the Son of Heaven, and the knife falls in his hand.

"If you don't say it, the palace has forgotten, with him, don't be polite, if anyone doesn't listen to what they say, you will solve it."

Zhu Houzhao said it well, Xie Zhi beat those people at most, and he couldn't kill them directly.

If you really kill the minister in the Fengtian Temple, those historians can talk about it.

It's one thing for Xie Zhi to think in his heart, but he still responded in front of Zhu Houzhao, and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, there must be no problem." ”
