Although he knew that what these generals said must be untrue, it must be very different, and Zhang Zhijie could guess a few points of Peng Ze's thoughts!

Emperor Zhengde snorted coldly: "Dead? He suffered two great defeats, resulting in countless casualties in the army, and if he died, it would be over? The verdict on this matter has not yet been closed! This matter will be discussed again when I return to Beijing! ”

Emperor Zhengde said that he patted his horse and left, Zhang Zhijie sighed and said: "Bury Master Peng alive!" Then Zhang Zhijie arranged for them to take the soldiers and horses to exterminate the rout.

Zhengde rode for a while, stopped and waited for Zhang Zhijie, Zhang Zhijie finished his order and then patted the horse to catch up!

"I was going to deal with him well, but I didn't expect him to kill himself!" Emperor Zhengde was unwilling.

"Death is like a lamp going out! Let's talk about this after we return to Beijing! Zhang Zhijie said with a smile.

"You have peace of mind! He was so targeted at you at the beginning! Hmph, and Li Dongyang, I strongly recommend Peng Ze to me, and I should ask him well after I return to Beijing! Emperor Zhengde snorted.

"Your Majesty, who is right? It's normal for Scholar Li not to notice for a while! Zhang Zhijie smiled and comforted.

Emperor Zhengde waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this!" Now that King Ning has been captured alive and the war in Jiangxi has been pacified, what are your plans next? ”

"Your Majesty, although King Ning has been captured alive, the turmoil in Jiangxi is not peaceful overnight, these routs are already bandits and hooligans, if they are allowed to wander, I am afraid that they will be infinitely poisonous!" Zhang Zhijie said with a smile.

"Do you still have to do these things yourself? If you hand it over to Wang Shouren, he still has the ability, and you can rest assured if you hand it over to him! Emperor Zhengde pondered.

Zhang Zhijie knew that the purpose of Emperor Zhengde going to Jiangnan was not all to quell the chaos, and at this time he didn't understand that now that the war in Jiangxi had been calmed down, the worries in Emperor Zhengde's heart had gone, and he naturally had the idea of playing!

"In that case, does the emperor plan to return to the court?" Zhang Zhijie said with a smile.

"Ha, it's not a hurry for the class teacher to return to the court! Since I have come to Jiangnan, why can't I go to Nanjing? That's where Emperor Taizu built his capital! Emperor Zhengde said urgently.

"Your Majesty, Zhuang Liuyun has ill intentions, this time she instigated King Ning to rebel in order to attract the emperor to the south, it can be seen that she must have prepared some conspiracy!" Zhang Zhijie said with some worry.

"The Cardinals? Didn't you already send someone to Anlu? Emperor Zhengde asked.

"There is no news for the time being, so the minister is a little worried!" Zhang Zhijie shook his head and said.

"However, I finally came to the south, is it really like this to return to the court? I don't even know if I'll ever get a chance to come to the South in my life! Emperor Zhengde had a sad face.

"Zhijie, let's take thousands of soldiers and horses to Nanjing, is it possible that the Cardinal Sect can still gather heavy troops to attack? Let's go down the river to the east and go directly to Nanjing, Nanjing has been under martial law recently, can the Cardinal Sect still go to the sky in Nanjing? Besides, when I went to Nanjing, I lived in the palace! And your brocade guard! "Emperor Zhengde rode on a horse and walked all the way, persuading all the way.

In the end, Zhang Zhijie really had nothing to say, and Zhang Zhijie knew that Emperor Zhengde went south this time, and the quelling of the chaos was only part of the reason, and the bigger reason was that he wanted to see the prosperity and prosperity of the south, and the customs and customs.

Emperor Zhengde and Zhang Zhijie were stationed in Jiujiang with their own soldiers, accompanied by King Ning, who was escorted, and he came to Jiujiang again, but in a different capacity!

The army pursued and defeated the defeated soldiers and quickly turned back, and Wang Shouren also came to Jiujiang with the defenders of Nanchang City! The army was stationed outside, and the generals entered the city one after another to meet them.

All the generals gathered together with joy, and the battle that lasted for months to quell the chaos was finally over, and even King Ning had been captured alive!

Zhengde sat on the main seat and said with a smile: "The generals will follow me to the south to quell the rebellion and work hard, I am very relieved, now that the rebellion has finally been quelled, I will not hesitate to reward, and when the class teacher returns to the court, I will be rewarded for meritorious deeds!" ”

The generals were indignant, and Emperor Zhengde smiled and said, "Where is Wu Wending?" ”

Wu Wending is just a local prefect, standing in the back row, when he heard the emperor's call, he hurriedly came out of the queue and kowtowed: "Weichen Wu Wending see the emperor!" ”

The generals saw that this small prefect who was not good-looking was personally questioned by the emperor, and they were very envious one by one, which is equivalent to a bright future! However, they also know why Wu Wen will be personally asked by the emperor, and he has indeed made great contributions!

"Wu Wending, you guarded Anqing, enough to block King Ning's army for more than a month, bought enough time for the imperial army to quell the rebellion, and defended the safety of Nanjing City, you have made great contributions! I can assert that you are second in terms of merit in this quelling of the chaos! Emperor Zhengde appreciated.

I didn't expect Wu Wending to get such a big affirmation from the emperor! Unexpectedly, Wu Wending ranked second in terms of merit, and a small prefect actually got such a big credit, it is really expected to rise to the top!

Second, that's the greatest credit they can get! I didn't expect Wu Wending to get it! As for the first, if he doesn't think about it, it must be Admiral Zhang Zhijie, who is sitting at the head of the emperor! No one can fight with him at all, and no one dares to fight with him!

Wu Wending didn't expect that his small prefect would receive such a big affirmation from the emperor, and he was excited and indescribable: "The minister is just loyal to his duties and has done his duty as a prefect, where can he dare to deserve such great praise!" ”

"Deserved! Deserved! It's not just me who thinks so, Admiral Zhang also praises you, saying that Wu Wen will be the first in this discussion! Of course, I think that Admiral Zhang defeated King Ning's army three times, and he should be the first in terms of merit, so you will be second! Emperor Zhengde said with a smile.

Zhang Zhijie defeated King Ning three times, everyone has to be convinced! Wu Wending was also extremely convinced, and he also knew that the reason why he could rank second was also because Zhang Zhijie had a lot of appreciation in front of the emperor.

Wu Wending hurriedly said gratefully: "Admiral Zhang defeated King Ning three times, and the rebellion was put down, which is really the biggest hero of this rebellion!" Wei Chen really didn't dare to compare with Admiral Zhang! ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Lord Wu is polite, the credit of Lord Wu is obvious to all!" ”

Zhengde was deeply impressed by Wu Wending's words, and asked with a smile: "By the way, on the battlefield, there is a fierce general in your army who rushes to the front, extremely brave, I don't know who this person is?" ”

Although the emperor did not describe it carefully, Wu Wending also understood who it was, but he didn't expect Chu Tianba to be a rough man who was stupid and stupid, and he actually fell into the eyes of the emperor!

"Back to the emperor, the person who has been leading the charge is called Chu Tianba, he is indeed a rare warrior!" Wu Wending said respectfully.
