Chapter 150: The Grand Duke? Phew!

Chen Di was dissatisfied, and the ceremony of triumphal entry into Beijing had to be carried out as usual. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Chen Di felt like a puppet, being manipulated by Emperor Jiajing behind him with a thread.

Chen Di went up to the podium, and the music of Taichang Temple played in unison. Chen Di handed over the Longquan Sword he held on his behalf to Shoufu Xia Yan.

Xia Yan took the Longquan sword and said, "Please ask the Marquis of Zhenhai to review the soldiers of the three major battalions in the capital!" ”

The Ming Dynasty has a system, only the emperor or the prince goes out of Beijing to patrol the fortunate, and when he returns to Beijing, he can review the three major camps in the capital!

It seems that Emperor Jiajing gave Chen Di the honor of no one before or since!

The soldiers of the three major battalions in the capital shouted loudly: "Long live the Ming Dynasty!" Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Zhenhai Hou Chitose! ”

Chitose? The Ming Dynasty has a system, and only the prince and prince can be called Chitose. Chen Di, the Marquis of Zhenhai, is called a thousand years old, which is also a grace that goes against common sense.

In fact, the soldiers of the three major battalions in the capital still admire Chen Di! Those who practice martial arts respect the strongest the most! Chen Di was only fifteen years old, and he led more than 1,000 remnants of soldiers to break 100,000 Japanese soldiers, in the eyes of the soldiers of the three major battalions, Chen Di was the current Huo Quai!

"Long live Daming! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Zhenhai Hou Chitose! The shouts echoed in the sky above Daxing.

A large sedan chair with a silver roof, yellow cover and red curtain was carried up by twenty-four sedan chair drivers. The official sedan chair of the Ming Dynasty had regulations, and the officials above the second grade were blue tweed eight sedan chairs. Twenty-four silver-topped red drapery sedan chairs are also the prince's regulations!

Xia Yan said: "Please Zhenhaihou get on the sedan chair!" Viscount Yu Dayou of Pinghai, Viscount Tang Shunzhi of Jinghai, Qi Jiguang, general of the sea guard, Hu Zongxian, and Hai Rui, the middle doctor, each rewarded a royal horse and accompanied the Marquis of Zhenhai into Beijing! ”

Chen Di originally wanted to shirk the shirk, not to let the officials and the emperor think that he was arrogant. After thinking about it, people have even taken away the military power for you, what humility are you pretending! Twenty-four sedan chairs? You're welcome!

Before getting on the sedan car, Chen Di suddenly thought of Madeira!

Chen Di called Madeira and Yingyu. In front of Xia Yan, Chen Di said to Madeira: "There is no war in the capital!" Your army has worked hard with me to make its way north, and in addition to the commission paid before, our court will give you another additional reward. After your army gets the reward, the imperial court will send someone to send you to Tianjin Wei Wharf and arrange a ship to send you out! ”

Yingyu translation.

The mercenaries of Madeira did not take part in any battles, and received commissions and additional rewards, and he was very happy: "Lord Marquis, you Ming people are so generous! ”

Yingyu translation.

Xia Yan interjected: "Zhenhai Hou, didn't you say that these Westerners are all righteous soldiers? How can I still withdraw any commissions? Did it cost money? ”

Chen Di snorted coldly: "If you don't give money, why should a group of foreigners give their lives to Daming?" ”

Chen Di got on the twenty-four sedan chairs, and the three battalions of the capital sent a thousand cavalry to open the way for him. Yu Dayou, Tang Shunzhi, Qi Jiguang and others were dressed in military uniforms and rode war horses to protect the sedan chair. The group entered the capital in a majestic manner.

The people in the capital stood on both sides of the road and knelt down to welcome Chen Di.

Chen Di lifted the sedan curtain and waved to the people on both sides of the road.

The people whispered:

"Look, that's the Marquis of Zhenhai who uses soldiers like a god!"

"Hey, the Marquis of Zhenhai fought 100,000 Japanese in Zhejiang with a thousand soldiers, looking for teeth all over the place, it is really the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang!"

"Ahem, what do you know? The Marquis of Zhenhai is the king of Tota Li! His 1,000 Flying Tiger Army are all heavenly soldiers and generals sent from heaven! How can the Japanese beat our Ming Dynasty's heavenly soldiers? ”

How could the people know that the Flying Tiger Army, an army composed of "heavenly soldiers and generals", had been dismembered by Emperor Jiajing's order?

Chen Di looked at the people kneeling down in the sedan chair, and sighed in his heart. What is the purpose of leading troops to fight by yourself? Is it for the hundred officials in the court who only know how to get promoted and make a fortune? Is it for the emperor in the Yongshou Palace who is obsessed with cultivating immortals all day long? No, neither! In the final analysis, it is for those Ming people who kneel on both sides of the road!

It is said that a good man should bring a three-foot sword to level the world. What is the world for? So that the people can live a life of food, clothing, and not be bullied by foreigners!

When the people are strong, the country is strong, and when the people are rich, the country is rich. And the Jiajing Emperor in the Yongshou Palace regards Li Min as grass mustard, Daming as the world of the Zhu family, and the wealth of the world as his own wealth! What is the use of protecting such an emperor?

Chen Di was thinking about it, and unconsciously the sedan chair had arrived at the Donghua Gate of the palace.

Lu Fang came to announce the decree: "The emperor decreed that Chen Di should be allowed to enter the palace in a sedan chair!" ”

Entering the palace in a sedan car? This is the treatment that only the imperial uncle of the Ming Dynasty can have! Even a prince who is the same age as the emperor can only enter the palace on foot!

Chen Di did not refuse to come, and he entered the palace by sedan chair! The Flying Tiger Army's heart and soul have been dismissed, what humility is there to pretend? If he hadn't led the Flying Tiger Army to fight in Zhejiang, there would have been only two capitals and 12 provinces left in the Ming Dynasty!

The celebrant and eunuch Lu Fang led the sedan chair to the gate of Yongshou Palace.

Chen Di got off the sedan chair and was about to enter the palace, but Lu Fang stopped him.

Lu Fang said: "The emperor's message! He wants to greet Zhenhaihou at the gate of Yongshou Palace! ”

Emperor Jiajing came to the gate of Yongshou Palace surrounded by a group of eunuchs, and Chen Di knelt down.

Emperor Jiajing actually picked up Chen Di in person: "My good horse, the Marquis of Zhenhai of the Ming Dynasty!" Great work! ”

Chen Di got up and said, "It's not hard to be a minister. The really hard work is the emperor and the hundred officials who are strategizing in Beijing, and the really hard work is the more than 1,000 soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army! ”

Emperor Jiajing said: "Meritorious but not self-assured, Aiqing is really a national soldier!" ”

Emperor Jiajing actually grabbed Chen Di's hand and walked into Yongshou Palace hand in hand with Chen Di.

Under the leadership of Shoufu Xia Yan, the hundred officials also entered the main hall of Yongshou Palace.

Emperor Jiajing sat down on the dragon chair and said, "Lu Fang, set up a seat for Chen Di, Marquis of Zhenhai!" ”

Set up a seat in front of the king, this is a courtesy that only the meritorious ministers of the Ming Dynasty can have. Lu Fang brought Chen Di a nanmu seat.

Chen Di was not polite, and sat on the Nanmu chair.

Emperor Jiajing said: "Chen Di's merits, I won't repeat them one by one!" Lv Fang, proclaim! ”

Lu Fang picked up the holy decree: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said!" Zhenhai Hou Chen Di and others, the southeast resisted the Japanese, recovered the lost land, and raised the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and their achievements shined on the sun and the moon! When Taizu Longqian Wu Di, he set up the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in the first year of Wu. Later, the governor of the capital was cut and the governor's office of the five armies was reestablished. Today, I follow the ancient system of Taizu and restore the position of the governor of the capital, and the job is a good thing! Command the world! Promote Chen Di to Metropolitan Governor! ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War of the Five Armies were in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. The Governor's Office of the Five Armies has the right to command troops, but it does not have the right to transfer troops. The military department has the right to transfer troops, but not the right to command troops. The two check and balance each other. Before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there was a capital governor's mansion and a capital governor to command the army, with Zhu Wenzheng as the capital governor to control the internal and external military. Due to the excessive military power, in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Taizu changed the capital governor's office to the five military governors' office.

Emperor Jiajing re-established the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, but it was not for Chen Di to lead any soldiers and horses in the world. This is a vacant position, and the right to transfer troops is in the military department, and the power to command troops is in the governor's office of the five armies. He's just a vase in name!

This is the strategy that Emperor Jiajing and Xia Yan have secretly determined: give Chen Di a high position, but never give him real power!
