As soon as Yue Su heard this, he hurriedly asked Sima Qiaoyu to take him down to rest, and then placed an incense case in the main hall, ready to receive the order.

Lord Yue went out in person to greet the eunuch who passed the decree, how could the little eunuch not have heard of Lord Yue's name, and when he saw Lord Yue personally greeting him, he didn't dare to put on a show, but looked flattered.

After a few polite words, he entered the lobby, the incense case had been placed, and the little eunuch read out the holy decree.

Yue Su actually knew the content of the will, Yang Yishan sent a letter as early as the day before yesterday, saying that the Queen Mother decided to summon her teacher back to Beijing, but the first assistant gave it to Han Yi. The content of the decree is probably as follows: Lord Yue is worried about the township, how can the court be eventful, first there are rebels rampant in Fujian and Zhejiang, and then there are Liukou in Shu, and the court will recover from the love, and grant Lord Yue the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang and the governor of Sichuan, and exterminate the rebels and rogues twice, and kill the leader of the War Dragon Gang, Hun Sen, and the leader of the Liukou Wang Jiayin, which is really a great contribution. Now that the middle of the river has been pacified, Lord Yue should have completed his merits, returned to the cabinet, and regained the power of the second assistant, so as to fulfill the responsibility of the first emperor to trust the orphan. After Yue Qing received the order, he immediately returned to Beijing, and there must be no mistakes.

The eunuch recited the decree, Yue Su received the decree and thanked him, and then instructed Jin Chan and others to pack up and set off for Beijing tomorrow. First, I sent someone to send a letter to Li Yuanchen in Wuchang, saying that I was going back to Beijing, and I promised you that I would do it after I returned to Beijing. In addition, when Yue Su arrived at Baoning Mansion, he specially found Zhu Xieyuan and handed over everything in Sichuan to him, and told him that he must not neglect the people, so as not to let these people fail to eat, and then do it.

These homeless people in the river deeply felt the kindness of Lord Yue, and spontaneously rushed to see them off, not to mention how spectacular the scene was. The people Yue Su made a Wanmin umbrella, because there were too many people, the names could not be all written on it, so each household sent a representative to write the name, even so, there are many people because of the back, there is really no place to write.

When he came, he was innocent, and when he left, he only brought an extra Wanmin umbrella.

Out of Sichuan, Yue Su rushed all the way to Beijing, but the route taken by Lord Yue was really incredible. He first went to Chang'an, where he met with Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, and the two just had a meal and had a small talk about the current situation. Only stayed in Chang'an for one night, and then continued to set off, although the Liukou in Shaanxi were driven away a lot, but the people here, life is really not good, the imperial court does not have much grain and rice relief, this Hong Chengchou does not have a very good way, it is difficult to cook without rice. But Hong Chengchou knew that Lord Yue had a way, so he drove many homeless people to Sichuan. Leaving the border of Shaanxi and entering Shanxi, in Taiyuan Mansion, Cui Jingrong, the governor of Xuanda, and Liu Ce, the governor of Shanxi, both came to greet him. During the banquet, Yue Su did not mention the case of Zhangjiakou, but just paid attention to the person Cui Jingrong, the fact of Lord Cui is not very good, Datong where the Tartars entered the customs is his territory, and Zhangjiakou, where the Tartars went out, is also his territory, and the Tartars went in and out of his territory, and regarded the Great Wall as flat ground, can this old man's level be higher. However, Master Cui's ability to send horses is really not covered, Liu Ce is at the level of a junior high student compared to him, it seems that Lord Cui's books are really not read in vain, and even patting the sycophants can quote scriptures, which is really high.

Yue Su only stayed in Taiyuan for one night, and in addition to these two adults, Yue Su also met with two people. One is Wujia Province, and the other is Wu Rumeng, the newly appointed Taiyuan general judge. Wu Rumeng was originally promoted by Yue Su as the general judge of Taiyuan, but before he took office, he and Qin Liangyu made great contributions to guarding Jianyang County, but because he had not done anything in the general judgment, he was not promoted again, and he still only went to Taiyuan to take over the general judgment. However, when Lord Yue met him, even a fool could understand that it would not take long for this Wu Tong sentence to be promoted. Yue Su praised Wujia Province, encouraged him, and then asked him to catch up with Jiang Jie. As for Wu Rumeng, Yue Su asked him to secretly pay attention to the Jin merchants in Shanxi, such as the Huang Ji Goods Store, Wang Ji Goods Store, and Tian Ji Goods Store. Since it is a large merchant of Jin, it is impossible to have no business in Taiyuan. Wu Rumeng didn't know what he meant, but how could he be neglected by the task assigned by Lord Yue. In fact, he didn't know that in addition to him, Yue Su had also sent Kong Jian and Cao Yu to secretly investigate in Taiyuan and Zhangjiakou.

Out of Taiyuan, Yue Su rushed to Datong along the road, this time anyone can see clearly, Lord Yue is on the way back to Beijing, want to inspect the situation in the border town. Lord Yue is an iron-faced person, if he is caught in the wrong place, there can still be good, the governor of Datong, the general army and other officials went out of the city for more than 30 miles to greet them, and Yue Su was polite to them, and he wanted to see the pass that was broken by the Tartars.

Needless to say, the pass of the Great Wall is there, the height is there, even if the Tartars suddenly attack, but if you are on guard on weekdays, even if there is only one or two thousand people guarding it, it will not be broken by the Tartars as if a gust of wind. Incompetence and negligence, there is no need to talk about it, but Yue Su did not reprimand, stayed as usual for the night, and continued to hurry the next day.

Soon arrived at the Xuanfu, and the governor and the general soldiers of the Xuanfu Mansion also went out of the city for dozens of miles to greet them, but Lord Yue was the same, and he was polite and wanted to go to Zhangjiakou to inspect. This is the place where the Tartars go out of the customs, when Lord Yue went to Datong, they all went to the place where the Tartars entered the customs to inspect, if they didn't go to Zhangjiakou to inspect the place where they went out of the customs, even the governor of Xuanfu would feel the difference. It can be said that he had already explained to Tian Xiu in Zhangjiakou and asked Tian Xiu to prepare for him.

When he came to Zhangjiakou, Yue Su took a look at the city defense, and then looked at Tian Xiu, who came to greet him, and talked to him without an exception, "How many defenders do you have in Zhangjiakou?" ”

"If you go back to your adult, there is a total of %% Dao. Although the real number is 7,000, the number of military pay is %% and only 7,000, and it is estimated that the head will have to be moved at that time.

"On the Datong side, many soldiers and horses were transferred to suppress bandits, and when the Tartars came in, the soldiers and horses were empty, and there were still excusable circumstances. You haven't even held on for a day here, how did you fight this battle? Yue Su asked lightly.

"It's really that the Tartars are too cunning, they drove our Ming people to attack the city, and when they heard the people's cries, our army inevitably had mercy and let those people go to the city to flee for their lives. I didn't want the fortifications to be scattered by the people who came up, so the Tartars had a chance to take advantage of it. The last general knows that he is guilty, and he feels sorry for the court at this moment......" Tian Xiu said earnestly. Looking at his appearance, he really looks like he regrets it.

"Tartar is cunning, and you can't be blamed entirely for that. However, in the future, you must remember that Ci is not in charge of the army, and if the Tartars use this method to attack the city again, it must not be tolerated. Yue Su said with relief.

"Thank you for your teachings, and I will definitely remember it in the future." Tian Xiu said earnestly.

Having said that, at that time, Yue Su saw a disapproving look in his eyes. It is estimated that Tian Xiu is thinking, how can it be so coincidental that the Tartars are still walking from me.

"By the way, after this battle, how much did the soldiers and horses lose?" Yue Su asked again.

"The loss is more than 10,000." Tian Xiu hurriedly said with a painful look. This time, a total of more than 2,000 people died, and the remaining nearly 5,000, his total strength was 15,000, which was just enough to make up for the number of dead, and he could take the opportunity to earn more pensions.

"Oh......" Lord Yue nodded, and didn't say anything more.

Stayed overnight and rushed to Beijing the next day. Don't look at the fact that there is no evidence to prove that Tian Xiu collaborated with the enemy, but judging from the city defense and military strength of Zhangjiakou, if he can't hold it for a day, he will lose the dangerous pass, not to escape from the battle, but also a waste, this person can't stay. You must know that Liu Wushou and other wastes have been guarding Mianzhu Pass for a few days, and the danger of your Zhangjiakou is better than that of Mianzhu Pass, and you can't even hold it for a day, what use do you have? If it weren't for Yue Su wanting to find out what Sima Qiaoyu said, Tian Xiu would be cut down now, and no one would dare to say a word.

When I came to Beijing City, outside the Shili Pavilion, the officials of the Yue Party came to greet them, and after saying goodbye, Yue Su personally went to the Forbidden City to hand over the sign. When others hand over signs, the Huangmen Prison will be more or less difficult, especially for officials from other provinces. At that time, Lord Yue was a person registered in the Forbidden City, known as the person who could not be offended, as soon as his sign arrived, the little eunuch immediately entered the palace and spread the word, saying that Lord Yue handed over the sign to His Majesty.

Zhang Yan actually already knew that Yue Su had arrived in Beijing, when other people would arrive, she would not pay attention to it, at that time Yue Su, she must send someone to inquire, and even who went to the Ten Mile Long Pavilion to pick up Yue Su, she now knows everything well.

Yue Su is back!

Zhang Yan didn't know what her mood was now, she had a sense of steadiness, and she also had a feeling of apprehension, she wanted to take a long breath, but she felt that the burden on her shoulders seemed to be heavier.

Although the mood is very complicated, but now it is necessary to meet Yue Su, she immediately issued an order, summoned Yue Su to the imperial study to see the driver, and then, she sent someone to pick up her son, and rushed to the imperial study to wait together.

The eunuch was ordered to go out of the palace gate, introduce Yue Su into the Forbidden City, and go all the way to the imperial study.

It's been a long time, the Forbidden City, this place used to be so familiar, but today it feels so strange.

Finally, Yue Su came to the imperial study, he had never been here before, and he was usually in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Minister, Yue Su knock to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live! The Queen Mother is a thousand years old! As soon as he entered the imperial study, Yue Su immediately lifted his clothes and knelt down. According to Yue Su's words, even if he doesn't kowtow when he sees the emperor, it is normal, but today is when His Majesty sees thanks, he must kneel.

But before Yue Su knelt on the ground, Zhu Ciyan above hurriedly shouted: "Yue Taibao hurry up and excuse me, come here, look at the seat!" This is what Zhang Yan taught Zhu Ciyan to say, and he emphasized that he had to shout out before Yue Su knelt down.

At that time, Yue Su still knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Thank you, Queen Mother! After speaking, Yue Su stood up.
