Lord Duan really returned to Beijing, Zhengde's will finally arrived in Guangzhou, agreed to establish the South China Sea Fleet near Guangzhou, the scale is modeled on the East China Sea Fleet, unified by Jinyiwei to supply arms, and also agreed to conquer the Dutch pirates and recover the plan of Dachan Island, and at the same time ordered Duan Fei to hand over the matter to another Qincha Yang Shen when there was no other priority to achieve victory, and rush back to the capital as soon as possible, as for Jinniuwei, he stayed to continue to help quell the rebellion.

There was nothing major happening in Beijing, and Duan Fei didn't know why Zhengde was in such a hurry to transfer him back to Beijing, but the holy decree had been issued, so he could only spend a day explaining the matter at hand with questions, and after saying goodbye to Su Rong and his son, he embarked on the road back to Beijing.

It is calculated that he has been away from Beijing for almost two years, and the long time he has been away from Beijing will inevitably alienate the emperor and his cronies, and the situation between the DPRK and China has indeed undergone great changes in the past two years.

Lin Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has been dismissed and returned home because of repeated confrontations with the emperor, he does not have the background of Wang Qiong's three old ministers, it didn't take much effort to remove him, Zhang Zilin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Wang Shouren, the secretary of the Ministry of War, have returned home, and now the secretary of the Ministry of Industry is the former Hongyuan of the Ministry of Industry, and the secretary of the Ministry of War is concurrently served by Yang Yiqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and Deng Zhang, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, is still in power, but he is very wrong with Gui Cao, who has been promoted to the head of the Ministry of Households, Qian Rujing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is Duan Fei's person, and now he has firmly sat in the position of the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice. The iron-faced selfless official has a good reputation.

Zhang Yue is also old, now the capital is the world of the eunuch Li Hua of Dongchang, Duan Fei has been away from Beijing for a long time, this kid is becoming more and more arrogant in the capital, I heard that a while ago he also had a fight with Wuding Hou Guo Xun, and was beaten by Wuding Hou with a blue nose and swollen face, sued Zhengde, Wuding Hou was deducted for three months to accompany the medicine fee, but it didn't take long for Wuding Hou to be robbed in Shanxi, Wuding Hou suspected that Li Hua sent someone to rob him, and reported to Zhengde, Li Hua denied it, and the two had a lot of trouble.

However, Duan Fei believed that Zhengde would not recall him to the capital for this, and the petty dirt between the ministers and the lord was really not worth mentioning compared to the major military affairs, and Zhengde urgently recruited Duan Fei to return to Beijing, there must be something big happening.

Duan Fei returned to the capital by coastal road, the speed was much faster than taking the land route, and there was less hard work of cars and horses, and it was naturally much more comfortable to sleep all the way to Tianjin by taking a big boat.

The real commander of Jin Yiwei in Beijing in the past two years was Hua Ming, who personally rushed to Tianjin to greet him, accompanied by Wang Zuo, who had returned to the capital last year, and saw them Duan Fei relieved his mind a little, and flew to them to talk during a short break in the post station near the Tianjin wharf, and asked: "Do you know why the emperor is so anxious to recruit this official back to Beijing?" ”

Hua Ming said: "My lord, we are here for this. Wang Zuo is more clear about this matter, so let him explain it to the adults. ”

Duan Fei looked at Wang Zuo, Wang Zuo said with a cautious expression: "My lord, this matter must first start with Dongchang Li Hua and Wuding Marquis Guo Xun, the two of them must have known about the fight, the more the two of them got into trouble, the more stiff they became, the emperor ordered them to stop fighting, and the two of them stopped, but recently I don't know where Gonggong Li got the news, and sued Guo Xun in front of the emperor, saying that Guo Xun colluded with the Demon Sect to plot wrong, because the stakes are very high, Guo Xun has been secretly detained by the emperor and ordered our Jinyi Guard, and we will only deal with it after the adults return to Beijing." ”

Duan Fei was surprised: "Guo Xun? That guy can do such a big thing in addition to being a sycophant? Li Hua said that he colluded with the Demon Sect, is there any evidence? ”

Wang Zuo said: "Yes, it is a personal witness, I heard that the emperor has seen that witness, so he detained Guo Xun, Gonggong Li said that he would wait for Lord Duan to return to Beijing before handing over the witness to Jinyiwei, so as not to be killed and killed, so the lowly rank has not seen that witness so far." ”

Duan Fei said: "The emperor just secretly detained Guo Xun? Didn't anyone catch the Demon Sect disciples he colluded with? Could it be that the person's status is not low, and even the emperor does not dare to act rashly? ”

Wang Zuo said admiringly: "My lord is clever, just by our words, we can guess eight or nine without leaving ten." ”

Duan Fei ignored his flattery and asked, "Since Guo Xun is detained in Jinyiwei, you should have already found out the identity of that person, right?" ”

Wang Zuo smiled bitterly and said: "Guo Xun shouted that he was wronged, he flatly denied colluding with the Demon Sect, and kept saying that he would wait for the adults to return to Beijing to clear his grievances, and we were ordered not to punish him, so I still haven't figured out what trouble he caused." ”

Duan Fei shook his head and said, "There is such a thing...... Anyway, everything will naturally be understood after the official returns to Beijing...... Preparing to leave for Beijing, the official is very curious......"

"Lord Qincha Duan has returned to Beijing!" When the people of the capital heard the news, they came to Chaoyangmen Street to welcome the return of Lord Qincha.

In the past two years, although Duan Fei has been away from Beijing for a long time, but his news has continued to come from the south, the east to suppress the Japanese Kou, the Nanping Yao Rebellion, and the inclusion of Paradise Island in the Ming Dynasty, these deeds have been spread by word of mouth and newspapers, and have become a popular legend, Duan Fei's impression in people's hearts has become more and more heroic and tall, but what really makes the people grateful is the opening policy that Duan Fei has painstakingly implemented over the years, so that the people have lived a more prosperous and comfortable life, and the people are grateful.

When Duan Fei returned to the capital, it was past noon, and he went directly to the leopard room to see the emperor, and when Zhengde heard that he was back, he set up a sumptuous banquet on the star-picking tower to wash the dust and catch the wind for Duan Fei.

When Duan Fei came to the downstairs of the star picking, Zhengde heard the news and looked down from the window railing on the fourth floor, and the two looked at each other, and suddenly time seemed to go back to the time when Duan Fei first entered Beijing, and the scene at this time was like the past......

Looking up at Zhengde, Duan Fei was embarrassed in his heart, Zhengde had a beard on his lips, and he looked much more mature and stable, which is also the feeling he has given people in governance in the past two years, this naughty and foolish emperor has finally matured......

"Zhu Gongzi, ......it's been a long time," Duan Fei said loudly, speaking of the back, the voice couldn't help but choke up a little, everyone was taken aback, and when Duan Fei was worried, Zhengde laughed loudly: "Ah Fei, you are finally back, I miss you, come up to me!" ”

Duan Fei smiled happily, walked upstairs, climbed to the fourth floor, turned the screen, Zhengde was dressed in royal clothes, standing with his hands in his hands, looking at Duan Fei with a smile, there seemed to be some splashes in his eyes, Duan Fei took two steps forward, and saluted Zhengde and said: "Weichen Duan Fei knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Zhengde took two steps forward to help Duan Fei up, and he smiled: "This is not the court, you and I don't need to see each other like this, come, sit down, let me take a closer look...... Sure enough, black and thin, Duan Aiqing, you've worked hard for the past two years! ”

Duan Fei said: "The minister is not bitter, it is the duty of the minister to share the worries for the emperor, and the minister has already held the heart of dedication and dedication, and fortunately he has not disgraced his mission." ”

Zhengde patted him on the shoulder to encourage him, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite to me, no one can erase your credit, no one in the Ming Dynasty has been able to expand the territory since Taizong, and now that you have done it, how can you let me reward you?" It's not enough to give you a marquis, and it's not too much to be a duke. ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "The emperor has won the award, Weichen's credit is really nothing, it's just a coincidence, Weichen is carrying out land reform in the five southwestern provinces, and he can rebel everywhere, Weichen is really uneasy in his heart, the emperor doesn't blame Weichen Weichen has been grateful, how dare he expect any more rewards." ”

Zhengde shook his head and said: "What should be rewarded is still to be rewarded, not only to reward you, but also to reward all meritorious people, otherwise wouldn't it make the heroes feel cold?" Then you don't have to worry about it, I only have an idea, by the way, you should have some bottom about why I rushed you into Beijing at this moment, right? ”

Duan Fei nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Wechen has a very clear understanding of the dispute between Wudinghou and Dongchang Gonggong Li, but Wechen has not yet returned to Jinyiwei and has not seen the witnesses mentioned by Guo Houye and Li Gonggong, so Weichen is confused, I don't know what the identity of the person in the Demon Sect that Guo Houye is accused of colluding with?" Looking at the emperor's measures, could this person be a member of the party with real power in the army? ”

Zhengde sighed: "Aiqing is really careful, from these clues have already guessed that eight or nine are not far from ten, Li Hua sued Guo Xun for colluding with the Demon Sect, and it is not an ordinary Demon Sect disciple, but the leader of the Maitreya Sect, Li Fuda!" And this guy who is accused of being Li Fuda is now in Shanxi, and he is the new commander of Taiyuan Wei......"

"Zhang Yin!?" Duan Fei blurted out in surprise.

Zhengde glanced at him and said, "What, you also know this guy?" ”

Duan Fei frowned and said: "There was a relationship, the emperor still remembers that the year before last Weichen was ordered to go to Shaanxi, and passed by Shanxi on the way back, when that Zhang Yin had just taken office, he once visited Weichen, I heard that this person was recommended by Guo Houye, and he was a member of the Zhang clan of the Shanxi family, and Weichen also said that the local commander should work harder to ensure the safety of the party, so he didn't ask again, I didn't expect it...... Li Hua actually identified him as Li Fuda, the leader of the Maitreya Sect? I wonder what evidence he found? ”

Zhengde said: "I heard that Li Fuda was originally from Shanxi, he bought his hometown surnamed Zhang to recognize him as the same clan, and also revised the family tree, Li Fuda colluded with Guo Xun to buy the official position of Taiyuan commander, and served as a commander in the name of Zhang Yin for two years, but recently he was recognized and denounced by the former enemy Xue Liang, and the state government thought it was nonsense, and Xue Liang was beaten half to death and thrown out of the yamen. ”

Duan Fei nodded and said, "I see, but it's ...... Your Majesty, even if this Zhang Yin is Li Fuda, the leader of the Maitreya Sect, the emperor issued a holy decree, and he could be brought to the capital for interrogation, why did he only detain Guo Houye secretly? To that Zhang Yin...... The emperor seems to have some concerns. ”

Zhengde sighed: "Aiqing is right, I originally planned to do this, but Li Hua said that now Zhang Yin has built the entire Taiyuan Wei into his personal army, and there are far more than one or two thousand people in the Taiyuan Wei barracks, and the commanders of other local guards like to eat empty salaries, this Zhang Yin is just the opposite, Li Hua said that there are tens of thousands of soldiers in and out of Taiyuan Wei in the past two years, if these people are Maitreya disciples, their strength must not be underestimated, not to mention...... The northwestern side of the mountain is the territory of Tatar, and this year the country has stabilized, and the new little Tatar prince needs a victory to boost his morale, how dare I act rashly at this time? ”
