Chapter 984: Triumphant Return to Beijing
On March 15, stepping on the bright spring light, Lu Zhen finally returned to Beijing.
Of course, he was not escorted back to Beijing by Dongchang Fanzi, in fact, after the emperor learned the truth of the matter and sent an edict to Wang Yue, the Dongchang people who were sent to Beijing to arrest Lu Zhen were urgently recalled, which made the prince even more annoyed for a while. Accompanying him back, in addition to the subordinates of Jinyiwei who went with him before, there were also two thousand elites of the Jizhou border army, as well as hundreds of Jinyi guards led by Yang Zhen and Qinggele personally.
After learning that they actually dared to attack their own governor, Yang Zhen and the others naturally did not sit idly by, not only taught the subordinates of Dongchang in Beijing again, but also personally took his subordinates out of Beijing to answer them, in case something really went wrong on the road.
As for the 2,000 border troops, it was not entirely to protect Lu Jin's safety along the way. Although Lin Lie is the local commander-in-chief, he does have the power to transfer troops, but he does not dare to really transfer the border army to the capital casually, this time the two thousand elites who came to the capital actually have another task, that is, to escort hundreds of Yanbu and Wara captives into Beijing to offer victory.
In the previous two big victories, they not only killed the enemy, but actually took a lot of enemy prisoners, so great success, they always had to take something to show the monarchs and ministers of the court. However, there are not many leaders of the Duoyan tribe like Diesuda, especially Diesuda, who is the leader of the first department, at this time, only one head was salted by lime and placed in a wooden box.
In the face of the enemy, Lu Zhen has never been merciful, and even his methods are very absolute. He knew very well what a tribal leader like Diesuda meant to the imperial court, and if he brought him back alive, he was afraid that with the Ming Dynasty's habit of tolerating enemies, he might not be killed, and he might even be sent back because of his rhetoric, which would be to send the tiger back to the mountain.
Even if the monarchs and ministers of the DPRK and China were not confused about that in the end, and just put them under house arrest in Beijing, it is difficult to guarantee that Diesuda will not do anything in the future because of the hatred between him and himself. Lu Zhen must put an end to all possibilities that threaten the safety of himself and his family, so he asked people to kill all these important Duoyan leaders in Jizhou. In this way, even if the Duoyan Department can still have some population left, it will be impossible to make any tricks when the dragons are leaderless.
When he saw the majestic and familiar city wall of Beijing standing in front of him, Lu Zhen finally breathed a long sigh of relief. After this war, the border troubles in the north have been completely eliminated, and in the future, I should be able to stay at home without stopping and spend more time with my wife and children.
When these thousands of border soldiers escorted the Mongolian captives into the city of Beijing, they quickly attracted the attention of the whole city, and many people ran to the streets to watch and discuss curiously and excitedly after hearing the news, and they were full of reverence and admiration for these soldiers.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a large-scale offering, especially when the captives who were brought in were all Mongolians, which made people feel even more precious.
Since Emperor Taizong swept Mobei decades ago, the Ming Dynasty has been passive on the northern border, and even if there is a small victory, it is impossible to put one or twenty
A captive was sent to the capital from thousands of miles away. And now, when they look at the almost endless procession of Mongols, the people are still very encouraged.
At some point, there was a burst of applause and cheers on both sides of the street. This made the border soldiers who were escorting the prisoners forward also feel a burst of excitement in their hearts, and their posture on the horses suddenly became more upright than before, and their eyes became more and more resolute, which made them feel that their battle in Jizhou City was still extremely valuable.
Lu Jin, who was sitting in the carriage and saw this scene, was also happy in his heart, which was the reason why he worked hard to do all this. Before he came back, he had already learned about the attitude and calculations of Beijing City towards him through Jinyiwei's secret report. Wang Yue and the people in Dongchang wanted to calculate themselves, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, the two sides have always been antagonistic, as long as there is an opportunity, they will naturally not let it go. What really chilled Lu Zhen was the attitude of many officials in the DPRK and China towards him.
After those pretentious civil officials learned from the cabinet and the Ministry of War that Jizhou had won two big victories in succession, their first reaction was panic! Yes, they were not happy for the border army and the Ming Dynasty, but began to worry that a border army general like Lin Lie would re-stand on the political stage and pose a threat to their status.
This is not the idea of one or two people hiding in their own house, but the consensus reached by many people, and some people even said in public that this is not a fortunate thing for the imperial court, but only afraid of the military people disrupting the government.
Lu Wei actually understood why they had such an idea, because there was still a balance between the Chinese and military forces in the previous dynasty, and it was by relying on the battle of Tumubao that the military attachés and lords who were in high positions and could fight with them died collectively, which gave the civilian officials a chance to sit down. At this time, they have just begun to enjoy the taste of superiority, and they are indeed afraid that such days will be unpredictable. If in a few decades, when the civilian officials completely control the government, they will no longer worry about the possibility of the rise of military attachés, of course, they will still suppress when it is time to suppress.
It was precisely because of this thought that when they learned that the Duoyan Tribe, a tribe that should have belonged to the Ming Dynasty, was completely wiped out by the Jizhou defenders in a battle, all kinds of criticism and impeachment fell like raindrops, and they were about to say that this battle against the Duoyan Department was a crime like killing good and risking merit.
After Lu Zhen learned all this, he was both angry and helpless, and even began to doubt whether his previous decision was right. It wasn't until now, when he saw the smiling faces of the people, that he realized that he was ridiculously wrong: "What I did in Jizhou was not for those officials, but for the sake of this great tomorrow and the peace and contentment of the people of the world." If it's not for them, why care about what they think about it? Thinking of this, his mood suddenly brightened, and his originally deeply frowned brows quickly expanded, revealing a smile that he had not seen for a long time.
However, he didn't care, but those Chinese officials still cared about it. Especially when Lu Jin's and his entourage's behavior of escorting the prisoners into Beijing was known to them, they felt a deep threat.
So, when Lu Zhen temporarily lived in the pavilion, waiting for the palace to enter the palace early tomorrow morning to deliver his decree, many officials in the city, especially the officials, had been busy overnight
wrote out one after another notes on the impeachment of Lu Jin.
To be honest, in the early years, Lu Zhen was not treated well by officials, and he was not impeached. But in the past two years, as he has become more and more low-key, it has been a long time since he has enjoyed such treatment as being attacked by a group. Especially before that, he also helped suppress Dongchang and rescued many officials who were about to be convicted, which further improved the officials' perception of him.
But this time, Lu Jin committed their taboo again, and he was also one of the leaders in this war, so in order to suppress the generals from raising their heads again, they could only target Lu Jin.
The actions of these officials naturally can't be concealed from Jinyiwei, and as soon as it got dark, the news had already reached Lu Jin, and Yang Zhen said with indignation on his face: "My lord, these officials are all white-eyed wolves who can't be fed, and we have rescued them and helped them many times before, but they didn't admit it when they turned around." If we had known that this was the result, we should have watched them be tossed to death by Dongchang! ”
This time, the civil officials' approach was really too much, which made Yang Zhen, who has always been steady and calm, a little angry, not to mention the other brothers in the brocade guard. One by one, they are gearing up, and they can't wait to send people out to arrest some guys and put them in prison right now, so that they can make a clean up.
However, Lu Jin, who was the party concerned, seemed very calm at this time, and after casually reading the secret reports of those brocade guards, he threw them aside: "Actually, I expected this result to appear, otherwise I wouldn't have let Lin Lie write my name on the top." He knew that attacking Duoyan's subordinates would cause a lot of trouble, but he just didn't expect that the real motive of those officials was only to curb the rise of military attachés.
Then, he smiled again: "But this time the matter is not as difficult to deal with as you think, there is always a fair opinion on the merits, I can sit upright, but I can't be framed with a few words of impeachment by a corrupt Confucian." ”
"What do you mean, my lord, that their impeachment can't actually hurt you?" When the subordinates heard the meaning, their hearts were not relieved.
Lu Zhen nodded: "If they impeach, I will defend myself." As early as when I was in Jizhou, I had already guessed that there would be such a day, so there was always a way to deal with it. ”
"Then I'll be relieved."
"Go ahead, you can't act so recklessly in the future, although my Jinyiwei has a special identity, but if I always rely on the privileges in my hands to do mischief, I will only become the public enemy of the world, and then there will be a mistake and it will be a catastrophe. You must think twice before you act, and you must not act rashly. Lu Zhen said, stepped forward, patted these subordinates on the shoulders one by one, and admonished.
Everyone agreed, and then they quit and quit, no longer disturbing their own governors to rest. Only Yang Zhen and Qinggele showed a worried look on their faces after they went out.
"Brother Yang, do you hear the meaning of the adult's words? I'm afraid ......"
"It seems that the Lord is really planning to leave my Jinyi Guard this time." Yang Zhen suddenly sighed, full of helplessness. He had already seen a little tired feeling in Lu Jin's eyes just now, but he didn't know if he had such a plan because of this incident......
