Such a major event happened in the capital, and Jinyiwei got the news as soon as possible, but Zhang Zhijie was not in Jinyiwei's yamen.

After Zhang Zhijie returned home, he kept gossiping with his wife and Xu Jiaying, but he didn't expect that the things that had already settled would make waves again, and even developed into a shocking tsunami!

At this time, Zhang Zhijie was still smiling and listening to his wife talk about pregnancy and childbirth, and when he was listening to it with relish, Yixue hurriedly came in, and when she came in, she shouted: "Second master, second master, something is wrong!" ”

Seeing Yixue's panting appearance, Zhang Zhijie was relieved: "The sky is falling, and there is still a high top, don't worry, speak slowly!" What's wrong? ”

"Well, I don't know what's wrong! It's just that the commander of Jinyiwei, the pacification envoy, and Bai Qianhu are all here, their faces are very solemn, and they say that something big has happened, and they are anxious to find the second master! I saw that they were in a hurry, as if something really big had happened! Yixue said urgently.

Looks like something really happened! Zhang Zhijie's face also became a little solemn, stood up and said with a smile: "I'll take a look!" ”

The cheerful atmosphere in the room was swept away by Yi Xue's words, and the atmosphere became a little dignified. Zhang Zhijie walked out of the courtyard and immediately strode towards the outer courtyard.

Sure enough, I saw Song Cun, Gao Yong, and Bai Yulan waiting there with their faces sinking like water, and their whole bodies were filled with a solemn aura. Zhang Zhijie strode over and said in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”

Song Cun clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "My lord, something is wrong!" After the court disbanded, the news came out that the emperor was going to drive the royal conquest, and as soon as this news came out, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the courtiers in the entire capital were shocked and clamored one after another. ”

Sure enough, something big happened! It's only been less than two hours before such a big event happened! Zhang Zhijie said in a deep voice: "How many officials are there at the noon gate? ”

Song Cun smiled bitterly and said in a deep voice: "As long as all the courtiers are in Beijing, almost all of them have gone!" ”

Zhang Zhijie's heart sank, nodded and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes!" Zhang Zhijie was still wearing regular clothes at this time, and when he heard Yi Xue's words, he immediately rushed over, if he went to the Jinyi Guard Yamen or did something, it would be nothing to wear regular clothes, but if such a major event happened, he would have to enter the palace, and it would be inappropriate to wear regular clothes!

Seeing Zhang Zhijie come back with a sinking face, although his wife knew that she was a woman, and sometimes she shouldn't ask, she couldn't help but ask: "But what happened?" ”

Although this is a major event, but it is not a confidential matter, it is estimated that the kneeling advice of the hundred officials at the noon gate is estimated to be spreading rapidly in Beijing, so Zhang Zhijie sighed: "The emperor plans to drive the imperial expedition in person, and now the hundred officials are kneeling at the noon gate!" I've got to check it out! ”

After Zhang Zhijie finished speaking, he hurriedly went to the inner room to change his clothes, and his wife was also taken aback when she heard it, kneeling at the noon gate is indeed a great political turmoil, I don't know how many officials' life and death will be affected! But didn't the emperor just agree to let Wang Shouren lead the troops to the battle? Why do you suddenly want to go on a personal expedition again?

Zhang Zhijie changed into a python robe and hurriedly left the mansion and boarded the carriage, Song Cun, Gao Yong, and Bai Yulan escorted the carriage to the noon gate with a group of brocade guards!

Zhang Zhijie, who was sitting in the carriage, became more and more gloomy, what an eventful time! Why did the emperor suddenly have the idea of going to conquer in person? The emperor himself didn't expect that someone must have invited the emperor to make a slander!

To tell the truth, Zhang Zhijie is unwilling to be recruited by the emperor in person, the risk factor is too great! Zhang Zhijie would rather lead the troops himself than the Zhengde Emperor to drive the expedition in person!

Who will be slandering the emperor? This is definitely to vote for the emperor's favor, and see through the emperor's heart's desire! What does the emperor desire? The emperor is eager to lead the troops to show his skills, and the emperor is eager to tour the south to see the flower world in the south!

Emperor Zhengde repeatedly showed his desire for the southern tour in front of Zhang Zhijie, and also envied Zhang Zhijie's experience of leading troops to fight! This rebellion of King Ning took place in the south, which could not only satisfy Emperor Zhengde's desire to tour south, but also satisfy Emperor Zhengde's desire to lead his troops to fight, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

It's just that King Ning's rebellion happened suddenly, and the entire court was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, so Emperor Zhengde didn't think of the idea of the imperial expedition for a while! But someone reminded the emperor, and this time it was said that it was in the emperor's heart!

How could Emperor Zhengde not be overjoyed and readily agreed! How could he let go of this opportunity to not only lead troops to fight, but also go to the southern Huahua World to play!

Understand the psychology of Emperor Zhengde, you understand how severe the situation is, and it is really very difficult to persuade Emperor Zhengde to give up the imperial expedition!

To tell the truth, the use of the ministers in kneeling at the noon gate is very small, and it is even said that it will be counterproductive! Because Emperor Zhengde is in a period of rebellion, what excuse is the noon gate kneeling of the ministers based on, it must have occurred in the fourteenth year of orthodoxy!

And Emperor Zhengde has been keen on the art of war since he was a child, and now he is kneeling down by the ministers at noon, and persuaded by the change of the civil fort, Emperor Zhengde not only will not feel afraid, but will feel that he is despised by the ministers! Then he will have to prove himself even more!

Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but sigh deeply, this happened too suddenly, there was no warning before, and he failed to intervene!

In fact, Zhang Zhijie also complained a little bit about the cabinet in his heart, if Li Dongyang and others stopped or delayed this noon kneeling, Zhang Zhijie would still be sure to persuade the emperor to give up the idea of driving the imperial conquest!

But now that the noon gate kneeling has happened, the emperor is estimated to have been angry for a long time, and at this time, all those who persuade will be regarded by the emperor as standing on the opposite side of him!

It is impossible for several important ministers such as scholars to persuade the emperor to give up the idea of driving the imperial conquest in person! And Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong and other internal officials are also difficult to be effective, and at this time, as long as their brains do not convuls, they will definitely stand on the emperor's side!

Their glory and power are completely derived from the emperor's favor, which is different from the courtiers, so as long as it is not a matter of their own safety, they will never risk going against the emperor's thoughts!

Like Ma Yongcheng and others in charge of the East Factory but there has been no place for it, there is no prestige at all when Gu Dayong was used, and now there is such an opportunity to be able not to fall into the ground!

But that doesn't mean you can't persuade the emperor to change his mind! At least Zhang Zhijie thought to himself, even if it happened now, he could do it!

There was no noon kneeling to advise Zhang Zhijiu to do it, and Zhang Zhijie could also do it when there was a noon kneeling admonishment! But the price to be paid is a world of difference!
