The world is really amazing, I made up my mind to stay in the capital and not lead the troops south, but in the end I couldn't escape! When Zhang Zhijie walked out of the palace, it was already dark, and the outside of the palace had calmed down!

This storm came and went quickly, except for leaving some talking points for the people in the capital, but it did not cause any consequences!

When Zhang Zhijie returned to the mansion, the news had already spread, after all, Emperor Zhengde announced his arrangements at noon, and it had already spread in Beijing with the spread of hundreds of officials!

So both his wife and Xu Jiaying know that Zhang Zhijie is going to go with him! Although I was a little worried, I couldn't, after all, even the emperor had taken the expedition in person, and Zhang Zhijie, as the emperor's most trusted person, should also follow the expedition!

Because Emperor Zhengde wanted to conquer in person, the Ministry of War discussed with the cabinet scholars, increased the number of troops going south, and transferred 20,000 soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, 20,000 from the Fifth Army Battalion, and 10,000 from the Fourth Guard Battalion, a total of 50,000 troops!

After the army moves south, it will draw and gather another 50,000 troops from Jiangsu, Anhui and other places, and the total number of troops will reach 100,000! It can be seen that the cabinet attaches great importance to the Zhengde Emperor's personal expedition!

Everything was ready, Qin Tianjian chose an auspicious day to send troops, and hundreds of officials sent Emperor Zhengde to the suburbs, and Zhang Zhijie had already waited with Wang Shouren and others to control the army.

After another ceremony, the army finally marched out, escorting the Zhengde Emperor's honor in the Chinese army, and the army marched in a hurry.

Emperor Zhengde did not sit in his luxurious carriage, but was very excited to cross the horse and whip, and Zhang Zhijie drove side by side, to Zhang Zhijie's slight comfort is that Emperor Zhengde brought all the eunuchs, and did not bring the palace maids.

This made Zhang Zhijie breathe a sigh of relief, Zhang Zhijie suddenly thought of this problem last night, and forgot to remind Emperor Zhengde! If you see Emperor Zhengde walking with Yingying Yanyan's palace maid when you march tomorrow, then the fun will be great!

But fortunately, what he was most worried about did not happen, at this moment the two walked side by side, Emperor Zhengde sighed: "This feeling of leading troops to march and us practicing soldiers and horses in the suburbs of Beijing is really not like that!" ”

"Your Majesty, leading the troops out on the expedition is a chore, we are far away from Jiangxi now, and now the south doesn't know what the situation is, and we will speed up the march in a while! But it's hard! Zhang Zhijie said with a smile.

"I know that I am also familiar with military books! Don't worry, I've suffered! "Emperor Zhengde didn't care about the Tao.

Emperor Zhengde thought to himself, you are too underestimating people, in Liu Ji's small courtyard, I haven't done any miscellaneous work!

"That's good, that's good!" Zhang Zhijie turned around and looked at the gorgeous and comfortable huge carriage that followed behind, a full six horses pulled, just like a small palace, where can you work hard with this thing!

Emperor Zhengde looked at Zhang Zhijie and looked back at the carriage behind him, and wondered: "Why have you kept looking at the carriage all the way?" ”

Zhang Zhijie thought about it for a while, got closer, and whispered, "Your Majesty, didn't you bring a palace maid?" ”

When Emperor Zhengde heard this, he was immediately surprised: "What? You also brought a maid? ”

"When the army goes on an expedition, how can a minister bring a woman? It's not in order! Zhang Zhijie said with a smile.

"I have been familiar with the art of war since I was a child, so I naturally know this, and I naturally didn't bring a woman with me when I left Beijing!" Although Emperor Zhengde said it very simply, Zhang Zhijie, who was familiar with Emperor Zhengde, always felt that what he said was a little weak!

"How did I hear that when you led the troops in Bazhou, there were women in your big tent!" Emperor Zhengde asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, it was a matter of urgency, and the ministers were highly poisoned at that time, and they came to detoxify the ministers! At that time, the minister was in a coma, and after the minister woke up, he immediately sent them away! Zhang Zhijie explained, but he was a little puzzled in his heart, it stands to reason that Emperor Zhengde should know about this!

Emperor Zhengde nodded and said, "It turns out that the matter is in a hurry, so there is indeed such a thing?" ”

Emotional Bai explained, Zhang Zhijie had no choice but to ask for guilt: "Well, but there is such a thing, at that time, I was just in a hurry, and I asked the emperor to forgive me!" ”

"Well, what's the sin? Hurry up and do the right thing! Emperor Zhengde said with a smile.

When Zhang Zhijie saw Emperor Zhengde's smiling face, he always felt that something was wrong! But I can't say where it came from!

In this way, Emperor Zhengde was full of interest and went to the border of Tongzhou with Zhang Zhijie. Emperor Zhengde left the palace, hundreds of officials knelt to send it, and it was not too early when the army was launched! So the army marched to Tongzhou, and the sun was already sinking in the west!

I thought that Emperor Zhengde would not stay long on the horse and return to the carriage to rest, but I didn't expect to ride all the way down on horseback, which made Zhang Zhijie a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, Tongzhou is ahead!" Zhang Zhijie said with a smile.

"Ahh It's time to get to Tongzhou! Emperor Zhengde exclaimed.

I didn't expect Emperor Zhengde's reaction to be so strong, but Zhang Zhijie was taken aback, and then he was a little puzzled, what happened to the emperor, he was shocked? Even if you haven't traveled far, it won't be like this, right?

Feeling Zhang Zhijie's strange gaze, Emperor Zhengde smiled dryly: "I have only heard the name of Tongzhou for a long time, but I have never been here, I have never been here!" If it's not early today, are we going to set up camp in Tongzhou? ”

"Yes, the outposts have been arranged, and the army will cross the Liuzigou for more than ten miles in Tongzhou and set up camp! However, the emperor, it is estimated that it is already late when you get there, and Tongzhou is just a small city, because the merchants who come and go from the south to the north are a little famous, in fact, 。。。。。。 Zhang Zhijie Rory gave Emperor Zhengde a vaccinator.

Emperor Zhengde hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know that I have no intention of going to Tongzhou City!" ”

That's good, Zhang Zhijie breathed a sigh of relief, it's good not to go to Tongzhou City, otherwise I don't know what to do when I toss!

The army finally arrived at Liuzigou at sunset, and Zhang Zhijie, Wang Shouren, and Peng Ze were busy arranging for the army to set up camp.

The news that the emperor wants to drive the imperial expedition has already spread, and if the army goes south, it will inevitably pass through Tongzhou, so the officials of Tongzhou have long been waiting for it, and they are eager to send everyone in the yamen out to inquire about the news!

The outpost of the army was encamped in Liuzigou, and the movement was so big that it could not be concealed at all. These officials led the local gentry with pigs and sheep, and also carried a few small sedan chairs, and waited nearby early!

Now that the army had settled, the men had come to the camp. Zhang Zhijie just arranged to come to see Emperor Zhengde, and it happened that someone came to report that the official gentry of Tongzhou City came to ****!

"Take the things, and let them go back!" Zhengde waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, there are a few young girls from Tongzhou, who say that they want to dedicate to the emperor!"
