Chapter 1249: The Altar

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Gaochi issued three urgent orders to the crown prince and Yang Shiqi, immediately announcing the news of the great victory, releasing the prisoners in the edict prison, and restoring all the reputations and official positions of Wang Xian and others.

Although Yang Shiqi was full of praise for this, Zhu Zhanji said disapprovingly: "I have done everything, and now I think about it, is it too late." ”

"I'm wiping your ass!" Zhu Gaochi saw that the prince was still stubborn, and he was angry.

"Hehe......" Zhu Zhanji could only sneer when he heard this, his father, his face was getting thicker and thicker. But now is not the time to raise the bar, he held back his anger and said: "I'm afraid that people won't eat this set!" You have to do both! ”

"What do you do, I don't care ......" Zhu Gaochi closed his eyes tiredly: "Don't lose the ancestor's country." ”

Zhu Zhanji sneered in his heart, it's time to let me be a villain!

Coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Yang Shiqi sighed, and said to Zhu Zhanji, who was pale: "Your Highness, what the emperor said is that at this time, we must perform our own duties, and everything should be based on the society of the country!" ”

"I know, I know......" Zhu Zhanji pressed his eyebrows hard, and smiled bitterly at Yang Shiqi: "The emperor let me out, isn't it just to be a wicked person?" As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and said, "I carried this black cauldron!" ”

"Your Highness's ability to understand the general situation is really a blessing for the community...... Yang Shiqi said softly, but sighed in his heart: "I'm afraid that the biggest black cauldron has to be carried by me......

The two of them walked out of a section with their own thoughts, sighed in unison, and parted ways.

In half a day, the victory of Zhenguo Gong, and the news of the destruction of the Tatars and Duoyan has spread all over the capital. Here we can see the old way of Emperor Hongxi, even if the court hides it, it is still impossible to hide the good news, Wang Xian's people will definitely spread the news everywhere, and it will only make the court more passive at that time.

At first glance, the first reaction of the common people was not to believe that Wang Xian's army had fallen into a heavy siege, and it was also out of food, so it had to retreat into the desert? How is it possible to destroy the Tartars and Duoyan again? Could it be that there are heavenly soldiers and generals who can't help each other?

"It's true! The imperial court has posted good news! Someone shouted, "Go and see!" ”

In an instant, the people of the capital put down the work at hand, stopped drinking tea, stopped eating, didn't care about the shop, didn't want to have a burden, and ran towards the nearest notice! It's like telling a terminally ill person that you didn't get sick at all, you were misdiagnosed. They couldn't believe their ears at all, so they had to prove it with their own eyes!

In front of every notice, there was a sea of people, and the people who came later couldn't squeeze in front at all, couldn't see the notice at all, and jumped straight behind in a hurry, and asked loudly: "What is written on it?" Is it really a big win?! ”

The people who read the notice in front of them stood there like clay sculptures one by one, and the people behind them shook for a long time before they slowly turned their heads with tears in their eyes.

"Scared! Why are you crying? The people behind were startled, grabbed the people in front of them tightly, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is it good news......

"It's good news, Zhen Guogong has swept away the Tartars, and he has led the army to victory......" said the person in front, and he couldn't cry.

The heart of the person behind him fell to the ground with a big stone in his heart, and then what came to his heart was not ecstasy, but a heart-rending pain, and he couldn't cry like the person in front......

In front of the notices one after another, there were people in the capital who were crying with their heads, they were crying with joy, they were distressed by Wang Xian's army, and they were afraid after waking up from a nightmare......

The people cried for half an hour, and then they gradually calmed down, and finally got out of the haze of the days, and the smiles reappeared on everyone's faces.

"Long live Daming! Long live Master Wang! The cheers finally came, igniting the long-suppressed passion of the people of the city, and everyone forgot to celebrate, how oppressive the atmosphere was in the previous month, how crazy the carnival was now! The people of the capital, regardless of men, women and children, all took to the streets, they jumped and shouted, shouting through the streets and alleys, and could not wait to spread this epic victory to every corner of the capital.

Many people who got carried away even shouted: 'Long live Zhenguo Gong!' Such a rebellious slogan, but who can care about this with the people who have fallen into a carnival? I can only let them have fun.

The revelry lasted until late at night, but the people's interest was even stronger. Colorful fireworks in the sky, crackling firecrackers from the night did not stop, they lit torches, carried lanterns, held wine jars, held flowers, in the streets and alleys of the capital night tour to celebrate, literati do not know how many poems to write, to commemorate this incredible victory, Qinglou courtesans do not know how many songs, to sing the praises of the town and his army!

On this night, in the hearts of the people, Wang Xian's martial arts surpassed legendary generals such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Lan Yu in one fell swoop, and even surpassed Emperor Yongle.

Truth be told, the comparison is unfair. At least Xu Da and Chang Yuchun surpass Wang Xian a lot in terms of military exploits and military talents, but just like the battle of Lanyu Fishing in the Sea, they can be as famous as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, the common people always lack enough understanding of those people and things that are already history, but they will feel extremely shocked by what has just happened, and then look at the heroes of this era very highly.

And the common people are not all unreasonable, at least Emperor Yongle has made several northern expeditions, each time hundreds of thousands of troops have gone out, but the labor and wealth have never been decided. And Wang Xian, only led 80,000 troops, went out for a few months, swept the grassland, and slaughtered the invincible Tatars and Duoyan people.

At this moment, Wang Xian and his army were pushed onto the altar by the people. And that, originally a place that belonged only to one person......

It wasn't until the day after the carnival that the common people gradually woke up from their ecstasy, and many people began to realize that although the foreign enemy had been eliminated, the troubles of the Ming Dynasty had just begun......

In the restaurant, a group of gentry originally gathered together to celebrate the victory, drinking and drinking, but I don't know who sighed first and said: "Hey, the court is in big trouble now......

"Yes......" The gentry were a little gloating and worried, "even if you want to make people bear the responsibility for the defeat, why can't you wait until the news is accurate." ”

"It's okay now, withdraw and arrest, but the main lord has returned triumphantly, how can those people in the court communicate with Zhenguo?"

"Isn't it that the imperial court has released people and reinstated the grandfather?" There are also simple-minded people who don't think about it: "At that time, everyone thought that they were dead, although the reaction of the imperial court was a little excessive, could the prince of Zhenguo still hold on to it?" ”

"Humph! Don't talk about Zhen Guogong, even I can't swallow this breath! Someone was furious when he heard this: "Oh, I was born and died on the grassland with the army, and just a little bad news came, you arrested all my family members in the back, and put them in the edict to be tortured, and no one can bear it!" ”

"Yes, this matter can't be settled like this......" The old man led by him said with a worried face: "Although the people have been released, how many have died and how many have been disabled, it is impossible for Zhenguo Gong and his subordinates not to seek this justice?!" ”

"Then ......" everyone also looked nervous, "How will it end?" ”

"Who knows." The old man shook his head and sighed: "I hope both sides can focus on the overall situation and not make trouble to the point of inextricable ......"

"Probably not, as long as the court doesn't mess around anymore, can Zhenguo Gong still rebel?" Someone blurted out his debut.

Hearing the word 'rebellion', everyone at the wine table fell silent, they thought of the uproar set off by the Duke of Zhenguo in the last years of Yongle, and they were terrified, that is a revenge will be avenged, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu dare to kill the Lord of Yama!

The worry about the situation gradually replaced the celebratory atmosphere, and the people began to worry, what kind of actions would the town prince make?

But it is very different from the situation of the previous years of one-sided crusade against Wang Xian, this time the attitude of the people in the capital is very vague, although many people think that no matter what, Wang Xian can not argue with the court, but at the same time, there are many people who are crying out for Wang Xian, thinking that the court treats the heroes like this, it is really chilling, even if Wang Xian is a shout, it is also reasonable.

Unconsciously, people's hearts no longer belong only to the Zhu family...... However, no one wanted to see the court fall into civil strife and Wang Xian and the emperor meet each other. After all, when the gods fight, it is always the people who suffer......

Thousands of miles away in the Great King City, there were also two messengers sent by the imperial court to Hetao.

One of the two envoys was Zheng Heng, the Marquis of Wu'an, and the other was Qian Yu, the right attendant of the military department, who had been ordered to lead an army of 50,000 to Hetao a month ago to reinforce Dawangcheng...... At that time, everyone thought that Wang Xian's entire army was annihilated, and the Tatars would definitely make a comeback with the Duoyan, and it was very necessary for the imperial court to send reinforcements.

But before the two of them set off, they were instructed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Shoufu in person, knowing that their trip was simply to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, and the purpose was not to defend against the Tartars, but to deal with Wang Xian's army left in Dawangcheng, and at the same time to monitor the eldest princess Baoyin, so as not to collude with Wang Xian's remnants and make any unfavorable moves against the Ming Dynasty.

When the two envoys set out, they had already expected that the task of this trip would be very difficult, but they did not expect that the actual situation would be even worse than expected, and they immediately dismissed Wu Wei and other Wang Xian from their positions, and when they sent people to take over their army, they encountered fierce resistance.

According to the original intention of the two, even if they came hard, they would also take down the 10,000 cavalry in the city! However, Bao Yin stepped forward and forbade them to start a war in Dawang City, and the two Qin Messengers saw that the defenders of the city worshiped Bao Yin as if they were gods, so they could only temporarily withdraw from the city in order to avoid unforeseen consequences.

Who knew that night, Wu Wei and others quietly left the city with the 10,000 cavalry from the north gate and disappeared into the vast grassland. (To be continued.) )
