Chapter Forty-Nine: Yao Bing

Through the Zhengyang Gate, it leads directly to the Forbidden City. Zhengde was proud of the spring breeze along the way, and felt that he had never been so beautiful. At this time, Zhengde looked at the Forbidden City and was not as lifeless as it used to be, so annoying.

Zhengde went straight into the Forbidden City Tower, facing the entire street, countless people came from Zhengyang Gate, turned in the Forbidden City, one by one Mongolian military flags, as well as the so-called Sulu ingots, thrown outside the Forbidden City, by the Jinshui River. Every army that walked in front of the Forbidden City shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live." ”

This simple slogan of long live is the most shouted slogan in the entire city of Beijing today, and almost the entire people in Beijing have shouted it. Even when he wasn't shouting, Zhu Houhuang felt that in his ears, these words had been repeating themselves endlessly.

It's not just Zhengde who is in the Forbidden City, and it's not just the people who follow Zhengde on the expedition, the civil and military officials headed by Yang Tinghe are all there, of course, in terms of grade, many minor officials are not qualified to come up, and those who can come up are high-grade bigwigs.

Yang Tinghe looked at this scene and felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart. His worst fears had happened.

This time on the top of the Forbidden City Tower, the civil and military officials were separated from each other, almost having a posture of fighting against each other, Zhengde didn't care about this, but Yang Tinghe couldn't help it.

In all the previous ceremonies, although there was also a distinction between civil and military, Yang Tinghe didn't care at all, why because those nobles in the capital were just appearances, let them be arrogant, they had some ability, let them lead the troops to fight, they didn't have that ability at all, not to mention fighting for the right to speak in the imperial court, don't worry at all.

But this moment is different.

Zhu Bin, Xu Tai and others can't get rid of the martial arts style, and they are not used to fighting in the court, if it is just the two of them, Yang Tinghe has a hundred ways to kill the two of them, but they are just a brave man, a general, not a handsome talent, nor a talent, so there is no need to worry at all.

There was just one thing that made him have to worry, because he understood that the leader of the martial arts group he was facing now was not Zhu Bin or Xu Tai, but Zhengde.

That's the real tricky stuff, what should I do?

This time, with the forty or fifty thousand people who went out with Zhengde, they all walked through the Forbidden City, and they were disbanded and went home. Although there are a lot of people, it doesn't take too much time to get through the Forbidden City.

But by noon, most of the army had already passed.

Zhengde stood for almost a morning, and he could still keep his body straight, Zhu Houhuang also felt a little tired, you must know that the armor on their bodies was not easy at all, it weighed more than 20 pounds, and the weight of his armor was almost the same as Zhengde's, and it was hard work to stand for a morning.

Although Yang Tinghe is a civil official, his body is also very strong, and he has a good swordsmanship, which is not powerless, but many civil officials in their seventies and eighties do not have this energy, but the emperor is still standing, how can they retire, but the energy is no longer under the city tower.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and a group of people were crushed under the tower.

The group of people was covered in dust and looked so embarrassed that they could barely see the human appearance. One by one they were pressed under the tower. Behind each of them was a soldier, armed with a broadsword, standing behind.

Yang Tinghe couldn't help frowning and said, "Your Majesty, who are these people?" ”

Zhengde said: "Oh, these people are all subordinates of Dayan Khan, and the leader is the son of Dayan Khan. When Dayan Khan was captured, Dayan Khan had only one breath left, and I saw that he was a hero, so I gave him a bloodless death. As for the rest of the people, I sent people to inquire about them one by one, and they all entered the customs many times, and their sins were unforgivable, and I beheaded them all. “

Yang Tinghe immediately said, "Your Majesty can't. ”

Zhengde said: "Oh, why can't Mr. Yang? ”

Yang Tinghe said: "Since Dayan Khan has been ambushed, in the opinion of the ministers, he can send envoys to appease the Mongols, so that there will be no more war inside and outside the Great Wall, wouldn't it be very good, so that the Mongolian nobles will be killed, I am afraid that no Mongols will dare to surrender to my Ming Dynasty in the future." ”

From the Taizu period of the Ming Dynasty, there were officials who served, and the Tartar officials were naturally loyal to the Ming Dynasty, such as Mangui, who was a Tartar official, and there were Tartar officials until the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the surrender of the Mongols to the Ming Dynasty has never been a psychological burden.

Zhengde was a little hesitant. But Zhu Houhuang spoke.

In fact, Zhengde didn't have such a murderous aura, he wanted to put this Mongolian nobleman by his side and declare his martial arts, just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used the Huns, and Tang Taizong used the Turks.

But Zhu Houhuang strongly persuaded Zhengde to kill them, because Zhu Houhuang had checked these people one by one, and one of these people was counted as one, and almost all of them had the blood debt of the border people of the Ming Dynasty. They wanted to surrender, but Zhu Houhuang couldn't bear it.

He couldn't stand the executioners who slaughtered the border people on the border, and he became a military attache of the Ming Dynasty.

What made Zhu Houhuang even more unforgivable was that these Mongols never felt that it was wrong for them to go south to plunder, but regarded this kind of raiding as a means of making a living and a way to make a fortune, but they never thought that they were wrong.

When Zhengde was obsessed with the beauties of Datong, Zhengde also came into contact with the civilian life of Datong. Get in touch with the creatures of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty.

Almost all of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty are military households, and they are not military households but also people related to military households. Therefore, the result of the little prince entering the prison every year is that every family has filial piety, and every household is in vain.

The hatred for the Mongols is deeper and deeper the closer you get to the border, but the shallower it is the further south you go.

Yang Tinghe is a native of Sichuan and does not understand the gnashing hatred of the people of the Nine Sides.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Your Majesty, the little prince has been dying in the border affairs for decades, every year, the people of the border affairs, not to mention millions of people, the people of the nine sides gnash their teeth in the hope of Your Majesty's revenge, and now Your Majesty has captured the head of the thief, so easily let them go, the people of the nine sides are afraid to be disappointed in Your Majesty, and if the Mongols enter the customs easily and are not punished, it is not enough to learn from the latter." Please behead Your Majesty and sue the Quartet, if you violate my great authority, you will be tortured and killed. ”

Zhengde felt that Zhu Houhuang's last sentence was deeply in line with his own taste. I was about to say yes. Yang Tinghe said again: "Your Majesty, how can you be rash about national affairs. To pacify Mongolia with a great victory, you can get decades of peace, and Your Majesty is happy today, I am afraid that the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty will be troubled. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Your Majesty can kill Dayan Khan, and you can also kill the latecomers, who dares to commit a border kill." ”

Zhengde slapped the railing and said, "Okay, I'm waiting for who dares to do this." ”

"The hour has come." A flash of sword light flashed, and a row of heads in the Forbidden City rolled to the ground.

Yang Tinghe glanced at Zhu Houhuang deeply.

The reason why Yang Tinghe wants Zhengde to pacify Mongolia is not that Yang Tinghe loves Mongolia more, but purely wants the world to be peaceful, and he doesn't need swords and soldiers from now on.

It's just that Zhu Houhuang's words made Yang Tinghe's plan fall through, and what made Yang Tinghe unbearable was that Zhu Houhuang actually wanted to have a next time.
