Chapter 215: Prologue to the Southern Tour

The lively city of Beijing has just settled down from the excitement of the New Year, and was awakened by another lively. Emperor Zhengde is going on a southern tour.

Emperor Zhengde has always been an idle lord, I don't know how many times, the capital outing, and even ran to the plug. A battle was fought with the Mongols. Zhengde is going to go on patrol and doesn't want to stay in the Jingshi, which is not a strange thing, but a strange thing, this time, Zhengde is on a southern tour, but the cabinet nodded. But it's a strange thing.

Zhengde's out-of-the-box personality made the cabinet gentlemen extremely disgusted. Ladies and gentlemen of the Cabinet, it is not a one-time or two-time effort to advise righteousness. Zhengde naturally does his own thing, and he doesn't care about these at all. But I want such a stubborn old gentleman as the cabinet to surrender to Zhengde. It's also impossible.

But today it seems that the sun is coming out in the west. The cabinet bigwigs actually nodded, and arranged for Zhengde's southern tour.

Perhaps it is the reason for the foot of the capital, the people in Beijing like to talk about politics, and the atmosphere has always been very strong. In the face of this incredible thing, they talked about it one after another, and they didn't know what the inside story was.

However, all the cabinet bosses were silent, but they couldn't stop the officials who wanted to ask for fame, and these officials stopped the southern tour one after another, and this time Zhengde was unrelenting, that is, all the officials who asked for fame were imprisoned. The hard bones among the officials are empty, and naturally no one comes to Zhengde's ears anymore.

Zhengde stretched out his hands, and several little eunuchs put on armor for Zhengde together.

Pieces of armor were tied to Zhengde's body. Zhengde sorted out his armor with one hand and hugged the helmet with the other. said: "Xu Tai, with Jiang Bin, how is the situation now?" ”

Qiu Ju said: "With Your Majesty's order, General Xu Tai has already led the Beijing camp to take a boat on the canal. General Jiang Bin is waiting for His Majesty outside. ”

Zhengde put the helmet on his head and said, "Let's go." ”

Zhengde pressed on the nine-pattern dragon sword, shook the long cloak, and walked out of the main hall. The sun shone on Zhengde's body, and the bright armor reflected a golden glow. makes people dare not look directly at Zhengde.

"Meet Your Majesty." From the guards standing outside the main hall to the gate, everyone fell to their knees. Zhengde strode down.

Countless armor soldiers followed behind Zhengde, and the sound of iron boots smashing against the bluestone was superimposed. Full flood.

Zhengde went out of the gate, and immediately someone led a Zhengde horse over.

This horse is the trophy of Zhengde. It was taken by Zhengde from Dayan Khan. It is the pet of Zhengde. Zhengde gently patted the horse's head, avoided the horse's thoughts, licked Zhengde's tongue, jumped suddenly, took dozens of pounds of armor, and turned over on the horse.

With Zhengde riding a horse, all the streets of the capital were blocked by Jinyiwei. Countless soldiers followed Zhengde out of Beijing, not to mention tens of thousands.

These tens of thousands of soldiers are all elites who have fought with Zhengde, and they are enough to sweep the world.

This southern tour, in the eyes of Zhengde, is simply a southern expedition.

If it was said that last year, Zhengde did not want to rebel against King Ning. Still find out, he doesn't even understand whether someone is deliberately framing him, Uncle Wang.

has been on the throne of the emperor for a long time, and Zhengde has long since faded all innocence, and he only believes half of what he says to everyone. In order to find out the truth, Zhengde sent people to Nanchang through different channels. But regardless of the person, the return is almost the same.

King Ning is about to rebel.

Only then did Zhengde review King Ning's troops, but found that King Ning had actually become a big trouble. According to Jinyiwei, the intelligence of the East and West Factory. King Ning had already secretly gathered troops, plus King Ning's guards, there were at least tens of thousands of soldiers.

For the strength of the Southern Guard of the Ming Dynasty, Zhengde couldn't be clearer, counting on the southern guards, the entire country has been lost, I'm afraid I don't know what's going on.

Therefore, to quell the rebellion of King Ning, it is best to transfer troops from Beijing. Zhengde Jingying east and west halls. It can almost be called the elite of the Quartet, the man of the tiger. Using these soldiers to quell King Ning's imminent rebellion is naturally handy.

However, Zhengde was still ready to give King Ning one last chance. When Zhengde was in power, there was already a rebellion of King Anhua, which greatly reduced Zhengde's face, if he could, Zhengde didn't want to have a next time.

At the same time as Zhengde's southern tour. There was also movement in Nanchang.

Outside King Ning's Mansion, an old eunuch stood outside King Ning's Mansion in a car.

Not long after, the door of King Ning's mansion opened. The armor soldiers on both sides lined up, and King Ning walked out, bowed and said, "Greetings to the angels." ”

The old eunuch's eyes opened suddenly, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and he smiled lightly and said, "His Royal Highness King Ning is polite." The old slave Lai Yi has seen His Royal Highness King Ning. ”

King Ning smiled heartily and said, "My father-in-law is the person next to His Majesty, how can Xiao Wang be rude." Come. King Ning gave an order, and someone immediately brought out a plate of gold.

There is no eunuch who doesn't love money, Lai Yi's eyes lit up when he saw this plate of gold, but he knew the priority, so he took his gaze and said, "The old slave is here, with a mission, and I ask King Ning to take the order first." ”

King Ning said: "Yes, take the order first. Father-in-law please. ”

King Ning and Lai Yi entered King Ning's Mansion side by side, and the two stood still on the main hall of King Ning's Mansion. The main hall of King Ning's Mansion is the legendary Yinluan Palace.

In the Yinluan Palace, Lai Yi stood at the top, respectfully took out the holy decree from the arms of the guards on the side, and stood away without hesitation. Slowly pulled it apart and said: "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says; (I really can't write the holy decree or anything, omitted it)

King Ning knelt on the ground below, listening slowly, and the more he listened, the more ugly his face became.

The holy decree is written brilliantly, and at first glance it is Hanlin's handwriting, but what King Ning cares about is not the style of the holy decree, but the content of the holy decree.

In the holy decree, only two things were mentioned, the first thing was to remove King Ning's guards.

Originally, the king of the Ming Dynasty had no guards, but he was cut clean by Chengzu and Emperor Xuande. However, King Ning bribed Liu Jin at the beginning, so he had King Ning's guard, which was the basis of force for King Ning to rebel. Zhengde now thinks that it is so easy to write off a lump sum.

The second thing made King Ning even more unbearable. It is to let King Ning return the land that has been encroached upon by the people and restrain his children.

In the end, such a thing as rebellion still has to fall on a piece of money.

Without money, nothing can be done. If King Ning wants to rebel, he needs a lot of money, otherwise how to win over people and how to raise soldiers. So King Ning secretly did a lot of lawless things.

For example, the thieves in Jiangxi. The reason why King Ning increased his guards for himself was that the thieves in Jiangxi were rampant, but I am afraid that there are no children, and the mastermind behind the thieves in Jiangxi is His Royal Highness King Ning.

How could King Ning be willing to spit out what he swallowed into his stomach?

Lai Yi's voice was loud, and the speed of his speech was neither fast nor slow, and finally said: "Qinzhi." Then Lai Yi respectfully rolled up the holy decree, rolled it into a scroll, half-held it, and said, "His Royal Highness King Ning, please accept the decree." ”

King Ning said: "Your Highness was deceived by the villain, and this holy decree did not come from the hand of the saint. ”

"His Royal Highness King Ning." Lai Yi's voice became cold little by little, and said: "When the saint was leaving, he explained: 'Uncle Ning may not accept this holy decree, but it doesn't matter, I don't care whether Uncle Ning accepts it or not, this is me giving Uncle Ning Wang a net, if Uncle Ning Wang admits his mistake now, I can do nothing without happening, at most I will move Ning Wangfan." If Uncle Ning really wants to meet me on the battlefield, please let the horse come, please see whose family is in the world today. ”

King Ning's face turned pale for a while, and he stood up abruptly and said, "You are looking for death." ”

Lai Yi said: "The old slave doesn't want to be like this, it's just that the holy errand is like this, and the old slave can only die, but His Royal Highness King Ning, the old slave is waiting for you underground, don't let the old slave wait too long." ”

King Ning had already been mentally prepared for his leakage, but he didn't expect Zhengde to deal with it so aggressively, and he didn't take his deliberate preparation to heart at all, and he was ashamed and annoyed for a while, he grabbed the holy decree and tore it into a few pieces, but he didn't want the material of the holy decree to be excellent, and he couldn't tear it apart.
