Seeing that Liu Juntao was so reasonable, Mr. Shan was a little ashamed, so he hugged his fists and said: "The lord of the town is high-spirited, but my Confucian Mansion is a little unkind!" ”

"Sir, don't say that, after all, this matter is a contradiction between my Yushan Town, the General Military Mansion and the eleven Nanzhili bigwigs, and it has nothing to do with the Confucian Mansion! I am very grateful that the Holy Father of Yan can come over and let me know! ”

Mr. Shan sighed and said, "It's a blessing that the Confucian Mansion can have an ally like Lord Zongzhen!" But don't worry, Lord Headquarters, I will definitely try my best to persuade the Holy Father of Yan when I go back this time, even if I can't help in this business war, I will cheer for Lord Headquarters! ”

Liu Juntao smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Then please sir!" ”

On the same day, Mr. Shan hurriedly returned to Confucius Mansion in Qufu County.

Then, Liu Juntao also called Tang Yu, Lan Siqi, and Zhang Yuqing over, and told the three of them the news sent by Mr. Shan.

After listening, the three of them were all angry, and they asked Liu Juntao for war, demanding that they immediately "start a war" against the eleven Nanzhili bigwigs.

Liu Juntao also had this intention, so he briefly discussed it with the three of them, and ordered a full-scale operation to be launched in three days!

At this moment, Liu Juntao, Tang Yu, Lan Siqi, and Zhang Yuqing saw Liu Zi'an, the head of the investigation department, rushing back in a hurry and rushed directly into the lobby.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked, "Zi'an, what's wrong!" ”

Liu Zi'an seemed to be in a hurry, and his breath was a little uncomfortable at this time, and he said, "General Town!" An urgent report from Pegasus from the Chaotang Division of the Investigation Department two days ago: The Emperor Taishang has returned to Beijing! ”

"What!"

Liu Juntao suddenly stood up, his face full of surprise.

According to the original course of history, the orthodox emperor would not return to Beijing safely until a few months later, and during this period, although the court was in turmoil, it was generally stable.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Juntao is not afraid of the connections of the eleven Nanzhili bigwigs in the DPRK, nor is he worried that the forces of the DPRK and China will be embarrassed by him.

Because the few months before the Orthodox Emperor returned to Beijing City were very critical, a period of open and secret struggle between the forces of all parties, and all parties would not waste their energy for irrelevant people or things!

By the time the orthodox emperor returned to Beijing and the dust had settled, Liu Juntao had already taken care of the eleven bigwigs, and it was too late for those courtiers in the court to support and avenge these bigwigs.

The past few months during this period are very sufficient, and Liu Juntao is completely sure of this!

But now the trend of history seems to have changed somewhat, and the process of the orthodox emperor's return to Beijing has been greatly advanced!

At this time, Tang Yu, Lan Siqi, Zhang Yuqing, and Liu Zi'an all looked at Liu Juntao in unison, and everyone was waiting for Liu Juntao to make up his mind.

"Can you bring back the specific information of the Emperor Taishang's return to Beijing?"

Liu Zi'an nodded, and handed over a thick stack of information.

Then, Liu Juntao looked at the size of the crowd and said loudly: "There is no turning back arrow when you open the bow!" At this time, everything is ready, how can you give up halfway because of the changes in the DPRK and China? Pass the order, it's business as usual! Three days later, go ahead and do what you planned! ”

Lan Siqi said with some concern: "Zongzhen, judging from the current situation, although the Emperor Taishang returns to Beijing, all forces in the DPRK and China will pay attention to this matter, but the situation will soon calm down. I'm afraid that the few months we expected are gone, and we only have one to two months at most to implement the plan, is this too late? ”

Liu Juntao looked at everyone's faces, and saw that everyone was so worried, so he said arrogantly: "Just execute everything according to the plan!" The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and when the time comes, we will see the moves. No matter how well you plan, you will encounter unexpected situations, and it is impossible to cover everything! ”

Tang Yu was also infected by Liu Juntao's spirit, and said loudly: "That's right! The head town said: The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road! Let's go all out in this battle! ”

Afterwards, Tang Yu and Liu Zi'an left together, and the two returned to the shogunate office in the front yard to discuss the "war" three days later.

Lan Siqi and Zhang Yuqing were left behind by Liu Juntao, and after a while, Zhao Ling, the director of the Strategy Department of the Praise Painting Department, was also ordered to come.

Liu Juntao shared the information sent by the Investigation Department with everyone, and the whole process of the orthodox emperor's return to Beijing became clear.

As soon as Emperor Jingtai ascended the throne, he began to reconstruct the entire court headed by Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, and either transferred or deposed the courtiers of the original orthodox emperor's lineage, and had completely controlled the government.

This also made Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, look at most of the major affairs of the court and politics, which made Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, Cao Jixiang, the eunuch of the division, and Xu Youzhen, the supervisor of the imperial history, very dissatisfied.

Therefore, at the insistence of Shi Heng, the right governor of the capital, the eunuch Cao Jixiang, the supervisor of the imperial history Xu Youzhen and others, as well as many courtiers, Emperor Jingtai had no choice but to select envoys in advance, and sent an envoy to discuss the matter of welcoming back the orthodox emperor with the Great Khan of Warat.

This time, the envoys sent by Emperor Jingtai were Li Shi, Shaoqing Luo Qi, and Ma Zheng, the commander, and others, and everyone took Emperor Jingtai's edict all the way north and entered the prairie through Xuanfu Town.

At this time, due to the knowledge that the Ming Dynasty had sent an envoy, Wara Taishi also led his troops to retreat and temporarily returned to the grassland from the area of Datong Town.

After that, the mission successively met with the Great Khan of Warat Tokhoff and Taishi Yexian, but in the face of the harsh requirements of the two to welcome back the orthodox emperor, not only asked the Ming to provide a huge amount of "New Year's coins", but also asked for the opening of thirteen tributary places in various parts of the nine borders, which the people in the mission did not agree, but angrily left, and the negotiation was abandoned.

Seeing the tough attitude of the Ming mission, Warat Khan did not take off, and the Taishi also decided to lower the price first, and took the initiative to send the envoy Pier Ma Heima and others to Beijing City.

When the Warat mission arrived in Beijing, Emperor Jingtai feigned that the conditions put forward by Warat were too harsh, and directly drove the Warat mission out of Beijing without even seeing each other.

Now the courtiers are gone, under the fanning of Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang, Xu Youzhen and others, for a time there were many court discussions, and Emperor Jingtai was forced to send a delegation to Wara for the second time.

This time, the envoys sent by Emperor Jingtai were Yang Shan, Zhao ~ Rong and others, and led more than a dozen generals such as commanders and thousands of households, and led 3,000 troops to the north.

At the same time, the contradiction between Warat Khan Tokhovoohua and Taishi Yexian became more and more intense, and both of them wanted to end the conflict with the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible and resolve the contradiction between the two sides, so they rarely reached the always: return the orthodox emperor and temporarily strike a truce with the Ming Dynasty!

Therefore, when Yang Shan, the imperial historian of the capital, Zhao ~ Rong and others came to the tent of Wara Khan, they first secretly contacted the people of the mission, and said that the two countries should quickly stop the army, and the Ming Dynasty should send ministers to welcome the orthodox emperor back to the court.

However, the Great Khan not only turned a blind eye to this, but arranged for the delegation to meet with the Orthodox Emperor, and everyone took the opportunity to explain their intentions to the Orthodox Emperor.

Subsequently, the Ming mission began to negotiate with Tokhtar Buhua first, and the progress was rapid.

Tokhok Buhua and Yexian took the initiative to give up all kinds of unreasonable demands originally put forward, and unconditionally prepared to return to the orthodox emperor, which made everyone in the mission excited.

A few days later, he also took the imperial envoy Yang Shan to meet the orthodox emperor and respectfully invited the orthodox emperor to return to Beijing.

The next day, the Great Khan of Warat did not spend a banquet in the sweat tent to see off the orthodox emperor, and also accompanied him with the Arazhiyuan, the king of the journal and others.

Before the orthodox emperor left, Tokhtobu Hua and Yexian also offered the imperial utensils, food and drink, etc., and even sent a half-day journey with his subordinates.

In the end, many Warat generals such as Yexian and Boyan Timur dismounted and knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

The detailed information sent by the Investigation Department was all dictated by the Imperial Hall Division through the members of the mission, and its credibility was very high.

However, after Liu Juntao finished reading it, he sneered and said to everyone: "It's really cunning to take off and not spend this first!" Seeing that the extortion could not be real, he directly sent the Emperor Taishang back, so that Daming had two tigers in one mountain, and pretended to be reluctant, which was really scheming! ”

Lan Siqi also said in a deep voice: "It won't be long before there will be an undercurrent surging above the Ming Dynasty!" The Emperor Taishang and His Majesty today will definitely fight openly and secretly! ”

At this time, Liu Juntao's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of essence, and said, "In that case, we will have to speed up the pace!" ”
