Chapter 320: Under the City (Second Update)
The 30,000 iron horsemen, except for the occasional neighing of war horses, did not make the slightest noise, and stood quietly under the city, without shouting or shouting, but even so, the silent pressure still made people breathless.
Without waiting for the city to ask, Ye Xun beckoned Wei Zhongxian and his party up.
"Grandpa Ye, go back! Your Majesty said that as long as you can withdraw from the army, you can say anything."
When passing by Ye Xun's side, Wei Zhongxian said almost pleadingly.
Ye Xun looked at Wei Zhongxian coldly, and said: "This duke has repeatedly emphasized to you that my duke is here to escort him in the capital, you can go back now, and then ask His Majesty to go to the city to review his army."
"Please, please Your Majesty go to the city and review the army?"
"What! What Ben Gong said is not clear enough? Go for it! My father's patience is limited."
Now that he has arrived here, if he doesn't leave an unforgettable impression on Zhu Youxiao, how can he have a long memory?
Ye Xun's tone did not contain a trace of emotion, which scared Wei Zhongxian, Ye Xun didn't have this attitude just now! This kid has changed his face too quickly!
Seeing that Ye Xun did not have the slightest negotiable attitude, Wei Zhongxian did not dare to delay, and hurriedly urged the horse to come to the city, shouting across the moat: "Listen to the general above, Gonggong Ye asked His Majesty to come and review the army, and please go and report to Your Majesty quickly."
As soon as the army arrived in the city, Wei Zhongxian's ancestors had been greeted by Zhu Youxiao for eighteen generations, and he was originally counting on him to be able to stop Ye Xun!
After the city gate was closed and there was no shouting for killing, Zhu Youxiao's heart relaxed a little, but he still explained that the news outside the city had to be reported to him as soon as possible.
So Ye Xun asked him to go to the city to review the news of the army, and he was soon sent to the Qianqing Palace.
At this moment, the civil and military ministers in the Qianqing Palace are also gathered here, in the name of protecting the emperor, in fact, everyone knows that it is safest to stay by the emperor's side at this time, if possible, they have brought their wives and children.
After listening to the report, Zhu Youxiao's first reaction was that he resolutely couldn't go, he knew that Ye Xun was strong in martial arts, what if he tricked him into going up, and then found an opportunity to kill him! But this idea obviously can't be said, otherwise the ministers will think he is incompetent!
Wei Zhongxian was not around, and Zhu Youxiao could only sweep his gaze for help to Liu Yijing and other ministers.
"What do you think Ye Xun means by this?"
Liu Yijing felt that the time had come to perform, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Wan'an, the high walls of Jingshi City are thick, and with his little manpower, he can't get in at all, and the old minister thinks he is just bluffing."
Zhu Youxiao's heart was a little relieved, thinking about it, hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops didn't come in back then, not to mention that Ye Xun only had tens of thousands of horses.
Nodding and said, "Then Aiqing thinks I should go to see Ye Xun?" ”
"Of course you should see it, not only to see him, but also to reprimand him face to face, so that the Liaodong army can thank the emperor and know whose army they are"
Listening to Liu Yijing's words, Li Zhiwen frowned, and interjected: "The minister also thinks that His Majesty should go to the city, so that the Liaodong soldiers are right to thank the emperor, but it is not appropriate to reprimand Ye Xun at this time, otherwise it will be counterproductive."
Li Zhiwen belongs to a person without party affiliation, if it weren't for Zhu Youxiao's need for the balance of the imperial court, it is estimated that he would have been ousted by the Donglin Party or Wei Zhongxian.
Zhu Youxiao was more inclined to Li Zhiwen's statement, in front of the 30,000 Liaodong army, reprimanded their boss, what is the difference between that and death, this old Liu is becoming more and more confused.
Although one hundred and twenty people in their hearts were reluctant to go to the city to see Ye Xun, Zhu Youxiao also found out that none of the ministers seemed to oppose him going.
These old immortals, aren't they afraid that the leaf thieves will take the opportunity to harm me?
After pondering for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, set up the city."
At this time, more than an hour has passed since the troops reached the city, and it is close to October, which is the season when the autumn tigers are raging, and the sun is like fire, and the soldiers in the city are a little unable to stand it.
can look at the Liaodong Army under the city, led by Ye Xun, everyone seems to not feel the sun and tiredness, and they are still standing there motionless.
Zhang Weixian hung his armor on his head, hung a sword at his waist, stood in the shadow of the banner and silently watched Ye Xun and the Liaodong army, there was no expression on his face, although he was annoyed by Ye Xun's behavior, he couldn't help nodding secretly, this is the real army, no wonder the Jurchen Tartars, who are known as invincible, will also be defeated by them, and they really have their advantages.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
With the shouting, countless brocade guards dressed in big red flying fish suits poured up on the city wall, and after cleaning up the ordinary soldiers first, Zhu Youxiao was carried up by the wrestlers with his shoulders.
Seeing this, Zhang Weixian couldn't help but shake his head secretly, it's all at this time, and he is still in the mood to put on a score, how do you let these tiger and wolf people in Liaodong look at you?
It wasn't until the carpet was also laid and the yellow basket umbrella cover was supported that Zhu Youxiao was put down by the eunuch.
Stretching his neck and glancing down, Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt dizzy, and shouted in his heart, my mother! How can there be so many troops? Are these the armies of the Ming Dynasty? Why is it different from the brocade guard around you?
Ye Xun's eyes were sharp, and under the umbrella of the yellow basket, although Zhu Youxiao only showed his head and retracted his head again, he still saw it.
At that moment, he puffed up his breath and shouted: "Dismount!" Ye Xun, the eunuch guarding the town of Liaodong, see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live..."
With Ye Xun's shouting, the 30,000 army dismounted collectively, and then followed Ye Xun's example, knelt down on one knee, and shouted in his mouth: "Long live, long live, long live..."
The shouts of tens of thousands of people were really earth-shattering, Zhu Youxiao was so frightened that he sat back on the seat, his little face turned pale, and his lips trembled for a long time before he said, "He, are they going to kill him?" ”
Zhang Weixian took a step forward, helped Zhu Youxiao up, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty must stand up, otherwise these troops will really not be yours in the future."
After all, he is an emperor, although he is young, his state of mind is far from being comparable to his peers.
With Zhang Weixian's support, he barely stood up, although his legs were still shaking, he finally stood still.
"What should I say?"
It's the first time Zhu Youxiao has experienced this kind of thing, let alone him, even if his father is here, it is estimated that he is no better than him.
Zhang Weixian sighed secretly in his heart, but he had to continue to teach in a low voice: "Let them be flat, praise a few words, and reward them again by the way, and then let them go back."
Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then raised his voice: "Soldiers, don't be polite, wait for the town to guard Liaodong, and work hard, I immediately ordered the household department to allocate 300,000 taels of silver to encourage, and at the same time, I promised that Ye Aiqing can forever town Liaodong and the north of the Ming Ping Domain for me."
Although he didn't want to say this, at this moment, Zhu Youxiao really didn't know what to say.
The ministers around Zhu Youxiao listened to his words, and couldn't help but look at each other, the emperor let Liaodong out in front of the people of the world? Is he worthy of the ancestors of the Zhu family?
"Wait, thank you, Lord Longen! Hooray, hooray, hooray..."
In the black line on the face of the Ming ministers on the city wall, the tsunami-like thanksgiving sound sounded again under the city...
