Chapter 128: Seeking Truth and Falsity

A wave has not settled, a wave has risen, just when Zhu Qi Town has become the focus of compatriots and aliens under the city, making a lot of nonsense, slamming his prestige, and riding at a gallop in the distance. It turned out that the team sent by the new emperor Zhu Qiyu to welcome Zhu Qizhen, the emperor of the Taishang Emperor, had already arrived...... After listening to the report, I was originally sincerely admiring His Majesty the Emperor's broad-mindedness, heroic and decisive civil and military forces couldn't help but stagnate, as if this moment was saved, when today's son is in Beijing, not the one in front of him.

Luo Hengxin looked at Zhu Qizhen, who had the smile on his face gradually fading, and couldn't help but sigh. Luo Hengxin often exchanged letters with the ministers of the court, and he also had a good relationship with the old Wang Zhi, who was the secretary of the ministry, and he was also a staunch supporter of the court's welcome back to Zhu Qizhen, the emperor.

When he learned from Lao Wangzhi's letter that today's son was driven by a small sedan chair and a two-horse carriage, and a pitiful team was sent to welcome Zhu Qizhen, the emperor, Luo Hengxin, a literati who has always prided himself on being a gentleman, couldn't help but scold his mother. When today's son is so narrow and his vision is narrow, it really disappoints him.

And now, this team has slowly arrived, looking at Zhu Qizhen, whose face is as usual, but his eyes are full of palpitations, Luo Hengxin feels that his brows are beating wildly, and no one knows how this emperor who has already abdicated the throne will react.

And Jiang Fu couldn't help but show joy when he heard the news, and urged a team of elite horsemen to greet him, as long as the Emperor Taishang was picked up, he would be like the Monkey King who had no golden hoop on his head, at least a hundred times freer than letting the Emperor Taishang who had a bad feeling for him stare at him all the time.

As for those civil and military who are close to the emperor, they have their backs against the mountain of today, so naturally they have time to slowly clean them up. At this moment, Jiang Fu had even begun to think in his mind about how to write a recital for today's son Zhu Qiyu, and describe the complicated situation in the land of Xuanfu since these days, in order to get the most support from the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Qizhen watched the pitiful team gallop slowly, and his heart was filled with a sense of absurdity, as if he was watching a play, but Yuan Bin and others, who had been following him since the beginning of the grassland, were all hateful at the moment, glaring at the small team viciously, eager to pounce on it, and smash the pitifully small soft sedan chair, which was no better than the prisoner's car.

"This is my imperial brother, can I prepare the royal car?" Zhu Qizhen pointed to the small team that was getting closer and closer, and couldn't help laughing out loud, but there was no joy in the laughter, but it made everyone who heard the laughter feel a faint chill in their hearts.

-------------------- Zhu Qizhen stood at the front of the suspension bridge, and at this moment, all the carts in the Tile Thorn Mission had entered the city, and the rest of the people were all on the side of the road, looking at the slowly approaching team with curious eyes. Boyan Timur looked at the pitiful small team, a pair of eyes almost stared at the bison that was strangled by the neck, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and asked in a low voice to Yuan Bin who was not far away: "This is the car you used to welcome His Majesty the Emperor today?" ”

The corners of Boyan Timur'er's mouth, who learned the answer from the mouth of Yuan Bin, who had a stupid face, curled up uncontrollably, his brother didn't spend on it, at least on the surface, he also needed to make a gesture, all supply and demand were comparable to the emperor, I really didn't expect that today's great tomorrow would actually do such a thing, I'm afraid it ...... "It seems that I can watch a good show for free today, but I don't know how Zhu Qizhen, the emperor surnamed Blazing, will deal with it." Boyan Timur's gaze fell on Zhu Qizhen's face, and his heart became more and more excited. Originally, I was worried that Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu, the two brothers, might not want to fight against each other as they believed, but now, there is no need to worry at all.

This small team is getting closer and closer, and the leader is Li Shi, who is the one who asks Li Shi in the matter, and he has been in the position of the Ministry of Rites for seven years, and he has been in the position of the Ministry of Rites until now, although Li Shi in his early thirties has a low position, but he has always been known for his courage to speak, his surname is flamboyant and wild, and he has no scruples about acting without scruples.

Now, he received the task of welcoming the Emperor Taishang back to Beijing, which made Li Shi's initial depression disappear, replaced by a kind of anticipation and excitement. Although he only greeted him with the official position given by the Ministry of Seven Rites, this was at least an honor, representing the trust of the Son of Heaven in him, and more importantly, he also wanted to see His Majesty the Emperor with his own eyes.

I want to ask him face to face, why did he make such a stupid move in the first place, which caused the Ming Dynasty to suffer this catastrophe, discounted more than 200,000 elite troops, and even made the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty burn everywhere, and even the Beijing division narrowly fell into the hands of Nawa Thorn.

Although it was said that the Son of Heaven was under the city of Beijing, regardless of the bayonet soldiers, and the courage of the millions of soldiers in the Beijing division was provoked to death, and finally the tile spurs were defeated, but he made a big mistake after all, this point, Li Shi firmly believes that it is just the Emperor Taishang to make up for the mistakes he made before, at least, Li Shi, who has always regarded the iron-clad minister Wei Wenzheng as his idol, feels that even if the Emperor is martyred, it is much better than being captured by the enemy and humiliating the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, riding on the mount, he saw Zhu Qizhen standing on the suspension bridge from a distance, and then saw the Ming soldiers on the left and right, as well as the gentry crowded above the city, Li Shi couldn't help but boil his blood, and the opportunity for his good name to spread all over the world was at this moment.

And although the several eunuchs around Li Shi still looked respectful, they couldn't hide the coldness and contempt between their eyebrows and eyes towards Zhu Qizhen, there is no place in the world that is more filthy than the palace, and there is no eunuch who lives in the Forbidden City knows better what it means to fall out of favor and cold reception, and the wall is pushed by everyone.

The leader, Liu Shanzhong, is the old man in the palace of the king of Yu, and he is also the confidant of Zhu Qiyu, who can be entrusted with this responsibility, how can he not understand the mind of his master?

And the brocade guards with the largest number of people in the team are all dead white faces without a trace of expression, their hearts have long become as hard as a rock in the dark prison and dealing with all kinds of torture instruments and prisoners, and their eyes are cruel in addition to coldness, even if they walk in the sun, the people who are close to them will feel cold and uncomfortable.

The change in the expression on Li Shi's face was all caught in the eyes of Zhu Qizhen, who was looking at him, although he didn't know why the gaze of this seventh-grade civil official was so unfriendly, but Zhu Qizhen didn't care, because this guy in front of him was the one who came to find him on behalf of his good brother, and Zhu Qizhen would never be polite and polite to his enemies.

His younger brother took such a team to meet him in Xuanfu, which was completely announcing to the world that he was the lord of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, that was already in the past, he was only worthy of a small warm sedan chair, and the treatment of a seven-grade official. He wants the world to understand that Da Ming, only he represents Zhengshuo.

"the mud, come on, today, see who hit whose face, and see whose face hurts." Zhu Qizhen secretly gritted his teeth and worked hard, if Zhu Qiyu is not fanned into a big dyeing workshop today, we will not be able to do it.

-------------------- when he was about ten steps away from Zhu Qizhen, Li Shile stopped his mount, turned over and dismounted, and walked forward a few steps, his eyes looked at Zhu Qizhen a little unscrupulously, and he saluted: "Li Shi from the Ministry of Rites and Rites of the Ministry of Justice, see His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"No courtesy." Zhu Qizhen also looked at Li Shi, and said lightly, Zhu Qizhen didn't care very much about Li Shi's rude behavior, because he knew that the good show was still to come. "Li Qing is here, why is it here?"

"Your Majesty has a decree to order Weichen to come and pick up the emperor's royal car." Li Shipi shook his face without smiling, swept some of the Xuanfu civil and military forces present, and his eyes fell on Zhu Qizhen again. "Please ask the Emperor Taishang and the Xuanfu civil and military forces to receive the order."

Hearing this, the civil and military forces around Zhu Qizhen, along with the surrounding soldiers, also fell to the ground. And Na Boyan Timur and others had already avoided the opportunity to stay away, waiting to watch the show.

And the only one who was still standing, except for Li Shi, was Zhu Qizhen, who was face to face with Li Shi, seeing that Zhu Qizhen didn't even roll his eyelids, he said so proudly, Li Shi's brows couldn't help but tighten, but he didn't know how to reprimand, after all, the other party was the emperor, and if he used the set of rhetoric against his subordinates to deal with Zhu Qizhen, it didn't seem right, so Li Shi simply turned a blind eye, and unfolded the holy decree in his hand and recited it aloud: "Fengtian carriers, the emperor says ......"

“…… The Emperor Taishang's return to the Ming Dynasty is a blessing for the country, for the love of the whole mother and son, and the metaphor of the Queen Mother......"

“…… When the country is in crisis, it is quite difficult for the state to continue to rely on the people's livelihood, so it has always been thrifty and thought that it is an example for the world......"

“…… April 13 of the first year of Jingtai. ”

After the holy decree was read, the civil and military people in the city and under the city, who had never heard the news, were all stunned, and the voices of discussion were noisy.

"Isn't it...... Is that the little sedan chair? A common man standing on the head of the city and looking down couldn't help but smash his tongue and said loudly: "I'm afraid it's not as good as the sedan chair of Liu Dashan's family in our neighborhood, which is too shabby." ”

"That is, the Son of Heaven is a real dragon, the Emperor Taishang has been the Son of Heaven, and he is also a real dragon, how can he make such a sedan chair?"

The gossip and the discussion became louder and louder. But those soldiers all had a tacit understanding and remained silent, watching coldly. However, Jiang Fu under the city was a little anxious, and repeatedly scolded his relatives and cronies around him to let them go to the bullet pressure.

Zhu Qizhen smiled coldly and stretched out his hand towards Li Shi: "Take it, I want to see what my imperial brother has written." ”

Hearing this, the atmosphere suddenly froze on the spot.
