Chapter 47: Rites

Zhengde returned to Beijing with the four armies and the Beijing camp, but after a big war, although the number of the four outer armies and the Beijing camp was much less, they were sharpened in the war.

The army returned in the wind and snow, although the heavenly prince is not beautiful, but Zhengde also hopes that this triumphal ceremony is the most beautiful moment of his life.

When Zhengde returned to the capital, the wind and snow stopped, and the sky was clear, which was a very good weather.

Knowing that Zhengde was coming back, hundreds of civil and military officials were waiting outside Zhengyang Gate, looking like a red robe, a green robe and a black oppression, plus the brocade guards who maintained order, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities. and other soldiers, also dressed up brilliantly, at least showed their most glorious side, looking majestic and majestic, I don't know and thought they were the army returning from outside the fortress.

The people led by Yang Tinghe were looking forward to it, waiting for Zhengde to return.

Yang Tinghe secretly thought in his heart, he was thinking: "After Your Majesty returns this time, you must persuade Your Majesty well, and you can't let Your Majesty act so recklessly." Find a way to get rid of the villains around His Majesty one by one. Thinking of this, Yang Tinghe couldn't help frowning.

He understands very well that although Liu Jin is dead, the eunuchs around the emperor are not vegetarians, and it must be impossible to let them retire honestly, that is to say, if you want to seize power from these eunuchs, such as a bloody storm, you can refer to the first time Liu Jin was impeached, what was the situation, and the two cabinet college students got in, and Liu Jin was not brought down.

So the eunuch could not move.

So the generals, this time the generals led by Jiang Bin have made great contributions, and for a while, they are in the limelight, and it is also a little difficult to cut their power and drive them out of the leopard room. But there is one person who is easy to get out. Yang Tinghe's eyes gathered. It is the son of King Yong.

Yang Tinghe secretly said in his heart: "The prince of Yongwang is very smart, but he has never been a peaceful person, belittles Confucianism and Taoism, gets close to military generals, and privately forms a vassal country. ”

Yang Tinghe's battle against Zhengde was both happy and uncomfortable.

Happy is the battle of Zhengde, the battle of Dayan Khan Boyan Mengke, and the son of Dayan Khan, A, and Dayan Khan's son A, and Dayan Khan together almost all of the Mongolian nobles were spared, Mongolia was greatly injured, to be in peace for more than ten years, this is almost the greatest martial arts under the ancestor of Taizu. It was no less than a battle with Yuerhai, but this battle improved the status of the nobles, and more than a dozen people led by Jiang Bin and Xu Tai were the hope of being knighted. In this way, Emperor Zhengde had a hard work, and he couldn't listen to the advice of civil officials. In this way, it is not known whether it is good or bad.

What Yang Tinghe didn't complain secretly in his heart, Your Majesty, can't you learn from your father and rule by hanging the arch?

Suddenly, a red flag was picked out on the horizon, Yang Tinghe's heart moved, knowing that Zhengde was coming, he coughed lightly twice, and the civil and military officials who were still talking in a low voice immediately did not dare to say a word, for fear of alarming Yang Tinghe. All voices fell silent.

Suddenly, Yang Tinghe frowned, and he found that Zhengde was not the Son of Heaven's honor guard.

Everything in the Confucian world must be regulated by etiquette, especially in the case of the Son of Heaven, who is the embodiment of a half-man and a half-god. Half of them are people, because he is the son of God, not God, and the other half is God, because he has the constitution of heaven in his mouth, how to express the power and sacredness of the Son of Heaven, it is expressed with etiquette, so the honor guard of the Son of Heaven is very complicated, there are hundreds of flags alone, as a precursor, there are people playing music behind, etc., etc., the posture is very large. But when Zhengde came back this time, he only let people beat a dragon flag, rewarded the whole army, issued more than one million taels of silver, and promoted several people to the title, and those who fought with him this time from top to bottom were rewarded.

Everyone who came back in triumph was beaming with joy and full of spirit. forced to collapse a face, make a coercive appearance, and dare not have a bad face.

But in the eyes of Confucian ministers, this is not a system at all, and it is not a form. It's like when you are reviewing the three armed forces in modern times, it is simply unforgivable that you did not take the right steps when you passed the rostrum.

Yang Tinghe's face darkened, and he secretly said in his heart: "It's my fault, Your Majesty asked me to come back first to arrange for entering the city, but I forgot that Your Majesty has no Confucian ministers around you, and I can't help the monarch as the head of the cabinet, it's really a big mistake, after today, I must find a way to let Your Majesty be a sage and a villain." ”

It was too late to do anything now, and when he was about to pinch his nose and recognize it, he suddenly remembered with a horn, and the cavalry that appeared in his sight actually stopped immediately, and under the order of the horn, turned around and turned back.

Yang Tinghe, who was originally so black that he couldn't press it anymore, and immediately said: "How did you go back, send someone to ask." ”

"Yes," Seeing the head of the cabinet in anger, the Jinyi guard next to him didn't dare to slack off, and immediately hurried over to ask what was going on?

Here in Zhengde, he is also sulking. Whipping the horse on the grass beside him, he said: "No, this time, this time, I will probably be this time in my life, how can I be so so-so, look at a person who is dressed without any momentum, and the people of the city have been driven to the house, and there are no onlookers, so I am dressed in a majestic decoration, who is dressed up?" ”

Zhu Houhuang lowered his head and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Zhengde is now very powerful, a golden armor, is made of heavy gold in the interior, can make people unable to open their eyes in the sun, I don't know how many times better than what flower armor, the mount is a white horse captured from Dayan Khan's side, the horse is very, it looks like a dragon horse, the most special thing is a long swan feather on the head, straight to the sky, see the two long vertical things on the head of the Monkey King, even in the crowd, everyone can see at a glance where Zhengde is, Not to mention any red cloaks, etc. It's just a blind man's eye.

Zhu Houhuang not only dresses himself like this, but also dresses up many people like this For example, Zhu Houhuang himself, he is also wearing armor, although it is not golden, but it is also polished as if it is a mirror, and there is still a swan feather on his head, although it is inferior to Zhengde's, but it is also raised high, and it looks incredible, but in Zhu Houhuang's aesthetics, he feels too embarrassed.

Zhu Houhuang objected, but the opposition was invalid.

Not only Zhu Houhuang, but all the helmets of all the people in the army were full of swan feathers. For a while, from the sky, the Ming army had a bird feather on his head. People don't know what to say.
