(

Heavy rains began to fall in Henan since the beginning of June, and waterlogging has formed in many places since July.

Although the yamen in various localities organized a large number of people to fight the flood, the effect was very small, and the urgent official documents of the Henan political envoys were transmitted to the cabinet one after another.

Finally, on July 28, the two important rivers in Henan, the Yellow River and the Ru River, broke their banks one after another, and the nine counties of Zhengzhou, Yangwu, Zhongmu, Xiangfu, Lanyang, Yingze, Chenliu, Fengqiu, Yanling, and Yuanwu in Kaifeng Prefecture, Ruzhou in Nanyang Prefecture, and Song County in Henan Prefecture all drifted and flooded the crops.

Not only Henan, but also some areas of Huguang adjacent to Henan have also been affected, with the advent of heavy rain, the water of the Hanjiang River near Henan has risen sharply, so that half of the residents along the river in Xiangyang, Gucheng, Junzhou and Yunxian along the line have been flooded.

After learning of the floods in Henan and Huguang, Emperor Xuande ordered the household department to mobilize money and grain to provide relief to the disaster areas in Henan and Huguang.

In order to distribute the food money for disaster relief to the victims, Emperor Xuande ordered the Imperial Procuratorate to send the Imperial Inspectorate to Henan and Huguang to supervise the distribution of disaster relief materials.

At the same time, the imperial court promulgated two important decrees, and the Guizhou natives were convicted of crimes and the ceremony of crowning the clan grades was formalized.

According to the Guizhou natives' judgment of crimes, all nobles and natives who commit crimes: miscellaneous capital crimes shall be punished with life, and those who move in vain shall be sentenced to a limited period of labor, and those who should be flogged shall be sentenced to five months, and those who should be punished by canes shall be sentenced to ten months. Single-day release.

In the early clan grade crown dress ceremony, it was stipulated that the clan generals, lieutenants, county lords, county lords, county monarchs, county monarchs, and township monarchs were honored and honored with the rank of crown uniforms: [32315671 ruling the Ming Dynasty ruling the Ming Dynasty] 323 ruling the Ming Dynasty 326

Zhenguo General Lu Qianshi, from a product; Eight hundred stone for the general of the auxiliary state, from the second grade; Fengguo General 600 stones, from the third grade; Lieutenant Zhenguo four hundred stones, from the four pins; Lieutenant of the auxiliary country three hundred stones, from the five grades; Lieutenant Fengguo 200 stones, from the sixth grade.

His wife was sealed according to his product, and his guest of honor was reduced by one class. The county lord's guest of honor is from the second grade, the county lord's guest of honor is from the third grade, the county gentleman's guest of honor is from the fourth grade, the county gentleman's guest of honor is from the fifth grade, and the township gentleman's guest of honor is from the sixth grade.

The princess of the county attacked the lord and sent an envoy to the ordination. His generals and county lords were married, but they were ordered to be crowned. The rest of the instruments are all prepared by the mansion.

It can be seen that Emperor Xuande adopted a tolerant policy towards the native nobles, and at the same time appeased the clan relatives and gave them preferential treatment.

Li Yuntian did not have time to pay attention to the floods in Henan and Huguang and the two new decrees issued by the imperial court, and he devoted himself to handling the affairs of the martial arts hall.

Now that the King of Han is in Le'an, eyeing the capital, and the battle situation in Jiaozhi is unpredictable, the best priority for Li Yuntian is to do everything possible to enable these students in the martial arts hall to complete the transformation from ordinary people to soldiers, so as to form the framework of the new army in the future.

However, a sudden incident made Li Yuntian have to withdraw from the complicated affairs of the martial arts hall and return his attention to the political situation of the Ming Dynasty. The update is the fastest and most stable

On the first day of August, at the beginning of the morning, an earthquake suddenly struck the suburbs of Beijing, destroying hundreds of houses and injuring more than 1,000 people.

Although this earthquake did not have much impact on the capital, it was just a false alarm, but Li Yuntian had an ominous premonition in his heart, every day a vision, such as earthquakes, meteorites, etc., would always be used by those who had ill intentions, would King Han give up such a good opportunity?

Since being sent to Le'an by Emperor Yongle, the king of Han has begun to plot a rebellion with his henchmen, not only manufacturing weapons and firearms in Le'an without permission, hoarding money, food and materials, but also registering Ding Zhuang, a citizen of the state, and organizing him into a line.

In order to gain troops, even the prisoners of the yamen prisons in various places in Le'an Prefecture, and the ruffians and scoundrels in nearby prefectures and counties were incorporated into the army by the Han king, and they were trained diligently.

To this day, as far as Shandong is concerned, in addition to having a close personal relationship with Jin Rong, the commander of the capital of Shandong, the king of Han has also coerced and bought many local yamen and guard posts in Shandong, and the number of troops at hand has reached nearly 100,000.

As for the various state capitals around Shandong, there are not a few local officials and guards who secretly correspond with the Han king, and these people may not dare to openly support and follow the Han king, but it is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger.

On the evening of the seventh day of the eighth month, Li Yuntian was urgently summoned into the palace by Emperor Xuande.

In the Qianqing Palace, Li Yuntian met with Yang Ying, the eunuch of the Inner Governor Bingbi, and according to Yang Ying's report, the King of Han had rebelled in Le'an, and his army plundered grain, grass and horses everywhere in Le'an. [32315671 Ruling the Ming Dynasty] 323 Ruling the Ming Dynasty 326

The reason why Yang Ying knew about the rebellion of the Han King was because the Han King sent a letter to Emperor Xuande at the end of July asking for horses and camels.

Therefore, Emperor Xuande prepared 40 camels and 120 horses for Yang Ying to go to Le'an to give to the King of Han, and also rewarded him with a set of gorgeous crown clothes.

Approaching the border of Le'an Prefecture, Yang Ying encountered a large number of soldiers and civilians who escaped from Le'an, and was surprised to learn of the wanton looting of the Han King's subordinates, which clearly showed that he was going to rebel, so frightened that he hurriedly rode back and reported to Emperor Xuande.

"Li Yushi, now that the King of Han has rebelled, do you have any good strategy to break the enemy?" After Yang Ying retreated, Emperor Xuande frowned and asked Li Yuntian.

Although Emperor Xuande had long been psychologically prepared for the rebellion of the Han Dynasty and had long been arranging countermeasures, when this day really came, he still felt uneasy and panicked.

"Your Majesty, according to the minister, if the king of Han rebels, he will definitely send people to the capital, and those who are close to him will be the internal response." Li Yuntian groaned for a moment when he heard this, and said solemnly, "Those in the capital who have a close personal relationship with the King of Han are headed by the Duke of England and the Duke of Weiguo, and Your Majesty should pay more attention to the words and deeds of these two. ”

"I'm also worried about this, and I've ordered the Jinyi Guard to secretly monitor it." Emperor Xuande nodded worriedly, the British Duke Zhang Fu and the Duke of Weiguo Lu Zhongqian had great influence in the army, if the two supported the King of Han, then the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Your Majesty, the Taishi is asking to see you outside the palace." At this moment, Jin Ying suddenly pushed the door and entered, bowing to Emperor Xuande.

"Taishi?" Emperor Xuande was slightly stunned when he heard this, the Taishi was referring to the British Gong Zhang Fu, it was already midnight at this time, and I don't know what Zhang Fu came to do late at night.

"Congratulations, it seems that the British Duke does not want to be with the King of Han." Li Yuntian's brows furrowed, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he got up and bowed his hand to Emperor Xuande, and said in a deep voice.

"Li Yushi, how do you say this?" Emperor Xuande's eyes flashed with suspicion, and he looked at Li Yuntian puzzled.

"Your Majesty, it is definitely not trivial to be able to make the British Duke come late at night, and looking at the current situation, only things related to the King of Han can make the British Duke so urgent."

Li Yuntian bowed slightly, and explained to Emperor Xuande in an orderly manner, "If the minister's guess is correct, the British duke came here this time to accuse the King of Han of rebellion. ”

"I hope it's as Li Yushi said." Emperor Xuande's expression gradually eased when he heard this, and he nodded and said.

If Zhang Fu can stand on the side of Emperor Xuande, then with the addition of Zhou Zheng, the Duke of Zhongguo, it is enough to suppress those nobles in the capital, so that they do not dare to "mess up".

Li Yuntian was inconvenient to see Zhang Fu at this time, and wanted to avoid it, but Emperor Xuande asked him to hide behind the screen and listen.

"Your Majesty, the minister came this time to report that King Han intended to rebel, please take precautions as soon as possible." After Zhang Fu was introduced to the Qianqing Palace by Jin Ying, he bowed to Emperor Xuande and said loudly.

"Oh!" Emperor Xuande's eyes lit up, and then he looked at Zhang Fu silently, "Taishi, this matter is not trivial, does Taishi have solid evidence?" ”

"Your Majesty, the king of Han sent his cronie Mei Qing to come tonight as a lobbyist, hoping that the ministers would rebel with him, and the father and son of Weichen would receive the emperor's favor in the world, how could they do such a thing that is not tolerated."

Zhang Fu bowed to Emperor Xuande again, and replied with a stern expression, "The minister has already captured Mei Qing, and His Majesty will know it in the first trial." ”

Emperor Xuande heard that Zhang Fu had won the lobbyist sent by the King of Han, and he couldn't help but be very interested, so he asked the guards in front of the palace to bring the bundled like a zongzi into the palace.

Mei Qing was in his thirties, burly, with two mustaches, and his face was bloodless when he saw Emperor Xuande, and he trembled and told him everything about the Han King asking him to contact Zhang Fu to rebel.

To tell the truth, Mei Qing never imagined that Zhang Fu would capture him and hand him over to Emperor Xuande, you must know that the King of Han and Zhang Fu had a very strong personal relationship, and the death of Emperor Yongle was that Zhang Fu secretly transmitted the news to the King of Han, so that the King of Han mobilized the troops of Shanxi and Daning, and almost led his troops into the capital to compete for the throne with Emperor Hongxi.

Therefore, this time the Han King rebelled, the first thing that came to mind was Zhang Fu, as long as Zhang Fu was on his side, then in his opinion, the overall situation was decided.

As the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie, although Zhang Fu said that he had a deep friendship with the King of Han, but now it is different from the past, after the planning of Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande, he has successfully won the followers of some nobles, and firmly controlled the strength of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion in the hands of Emperor Xuande.

Coupled with the strong support of Emperor Xuande by the Chinese courtiers of the dynasty, Emperor Xuande had gradually gained the upper hand in the battle with the Han king.

Although the king of Han was brave and good at fighting, in front of him was the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office, and there were fierce generals such as Zhou Zheng to lead the army, so it was not easy for the king of Han to win.

Besides, Zhang Fu is already a great master of the dynasty and a very popular minister, and Emperor Xuande is very honored to him, so why should he bother to help King Han seize the world?

Mei Qing not only confessed to the rebellion of the Han king, but also told the deployment of the Han king in Le'an Prefecture and the reason for the rebellion.

Originally, the King of Han did not plan to rebel so early, and wanted to wait until next year when everything was ready before attacking Emperor Xuande.

However, the earthquake in the capital caused the Han King to change his mind, and the Han King felt that this was the will of heaven, so he decided to use this golden opportunity to complete his grand cause, and at the same time to catch Emperor Xuande off guard.

Now, the king of Han has set up the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in Le'an Prefecture, and personally sat in the middle army, commanding Wang Bin to lead the front army, Zhu Heng, the governor of Le'an Prefecture, leading the rear army, and Wei Da to lead the left army, and Qianhu Shengjian to lead the right army.

At the same time, the king of Han used four sons to serve as the supervisor of the army, including Zhu Zhan, the king of Jiyang, the king of Linzi, Zhu Zhanyu, the king of Linzi, the commander of the rear army, Zhu Zhan, the king of Changle, the left army, and Zhu Zhanping, the king of Qidong, the right army.

Due to the need to go out to fight, the king of Han asked his third son, Zhu Zhantan, to live in Le'an, and the guards commanded Wei Hong, Wei Xing, and Qianhu Wang Yu and Li Zhi each led a troop of soldiers and horses to assist Zhu Zhantan in defending the city.

Wang Bin, Zhu Heng and others were successively awarded official positions such as Taishi, Governor and Shangshu by the King of Han, and set up five governments and six ministries to compete with the major ministries and institutes of the Beijing Division.

Emperor Zhang Fujian handed over Meiqing to Beizhen Fusi for trial, and took advantage of the unstable foothold of the Han King to send troops to quell the rebellion, and exterminated the Han King in one fell swoop with lightning speed to prevent the spread of the situation.

However, Emperor Xuande was not ready to send troops, and the King of Han was not only the imperial uncle of Daming, but also powerful, how could he be convicted based on Mei Qing's confession alone? It will inevitably give a tongue and provoke criticism.

Moreover, the flames of war are bound to be devastated, and I don't know how many people will suffer at that time.

Therefore, Emperor Xuande is ready to wait and see what happens, and if he can make the King of Han "lost" and return, it will undoubtedly be the best ending
