Chapter 223: I Can Still Walk
There is no impermeable wall in the world, knowing that this is done by His Majesty, it is a little intriguing, whether it is to kill chickens and monkeys or to say something, you have to take a little measure.
These Heavenly Emperor's Palace is particularly lively, after all, whether it is a loyal believer in Confucianism or a person who does not believe in this thing, they are crowding into the palace, even if it is for show, everyone also wants to eat the benefits of identity, after all, it is still Confucianism, if you don't do it, it will inevitably make people criticize.
Of course, some people who know the situation are also fishing in troubled waters, for these people, whether they are sincere or fishing in troubled waters, Yan Song and they can push it, mainly because they don't have time to deal with these things for the time being, so it's not good to tell them that this is done by His Majesty.
This kind of prevarication of the imperial court is already very intriguing, and coupled with the rumors, this makes people think about it a little less.
After the sun and the moon, Qi Jingtong finally rushed back without stopping, but was stopped by a group of old guys outside the city.
"Qi Jingtong, there is no recall to Beijing, are you going to rebel?" There was such a big thing, but His Majesty didn't miss a single meeting, everyone was saying that His Majesty's body might have problems, but no matter what, Qi Jingtong would definitely not let him go back.
This royalist general is carried up by His Majesty, absolutely loyal, if he is allowed to return to the capital, then they will still make a fuss, there is no chance to make a fuss, what kind of soldiers are Qi Jingtong bringing, the Tatar army has no room for resistance, what can they do, I know that if they want to do something, Qi Jingtong will never let him go back.
But they said that if they didn't let it, they wouldn't let it, Qi Jingtong really didn't receive the holy order to return to Beijing, but he was vain, it was not false at all, he was bound to go back today, if Your Majesty had no problem, he would naturally not punish him, and if Your Majesty had a problem, then he would have to go back.
"Where did the dog gossip, don't force me to do it." Qi Jingtong didn't give any face, a group of old guys, everyone didn't interfere with the river water, did they really think that the military department could manage him?
"Qi Jingtong, you are bold, all the soldiers and horses in the world are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, you have not been recalled to Beijing, is this a rebellion, the old man can completely take you down." Momentum cannot be lost, and they are also most accustomed to standing on the moral high ground to criticize others.
Qi Jingtong didn't bother to pay attention to these guys at all, he only knew that something had happened in the palace, he had to go back quickly, no matter who stopped him, he couldn't stop it, not to mention this group of miscellaneous people, even if Lu Fang was standing in front of him now, he would have to go over, and he would be uneasy if he didn't see His Majesty.
"Under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, do you think these soldiers listen to you or me?" Qi Jingtong sneered, he didn't give face at all, what was there to give face, if he admitted it, he would be shorter than these guys, this is okay, so how can he pass.
"It's the other way around, Qi Jingtong, I think you're the other way around." A few old guys blew their beards and stared, they were full of confidence to take on this task, who knew that this guy didn't give face at all, how could this old face be hung up.
"By the way, are you taking yourself too seriously, if you don't get out of the way, if you don't get out of the way, I'll order to crash over, I want to see if it's your old bones or the sharpness of my army." Qi Jingtong squinted his eyes, these old guys are the kind who just open a dye shop with a little color, and it is a waste of tongue to talk to them, and it is the most realistic to bump into them directly.
"You, you dare, you hit one and try it." A few old guys are about to blow up, it's too shameless, this is worth it, and you have to kill this guy's arrogance if you say anything today.
"General, what should I do?"
"What else can I do, the army is moving forward, Lao Tzu is almost in the capital, and he can still be scared back by a few old guys." Qi Jingtong sneered, if he was afraid of this, he wouldn't come back, these old guys dared to block the road, and they would definitely kill them.
In the minds of the soldiers, His Majesty is the sky, and General Qi's orders are the main thing, and a few old men really have nothing to say.
A few of the old guys were still stiff at first, but when they really waited for the army to overwhelm the realm, and the bloody breath on their faces made them feel suffocated, they knew they were afraid.
Qi Jingtong led the team first, there are not many people in this group, and there are more than a thousand people, but this is the elite of the elite, on the battlefield, this definitely belongs to the kind of killing seven in and seven out, just came down from the battlefield, the bloody aura on the body has not completely dissipated, just a few pampered old guys.
Lu Fang breathed a sigh of relief when he received the news, Qi Jingtong is good to come back, and some people can shut up after they come back, they are almost annoyed to death these days, a group of guys who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, Lu Fang is almost annoyed to death.
Although Jinyiwei has a deterrent effect, there are too many people who can't stand the ghost in their hearts, and the deterrent effect is there, but many can't manage it at all, although Qi Jingtong's army is not stationed in the capital when it comes back, but the deterrent effect will rise, plus Dongchang will come back in a few days, and it will be completely liberated at that time.
"This is good news, Gonggong Lu go and inform Your Majesty, I will send someone to ask Qi Jingtong to wait outside the city first." Yan Song nodded, it's good to come back.
However, he really didn't come back by order, and there are indeed criticisms, but it's not a big problem, just make up for one, but you have to tell Your Majesty about such a big thing.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Lu Fang nodded slightly, although the matter of His Majesty's retreat is indeed very important, but the victory of the army is also important, and how to decide depends on what His Majesty thinks.
"Well, I also have to prepare, General Qi is a great hero of the Ming Dynasty, how can we treat him badly?" Yan Song squinted, and asked Qi Jingtong to come back quickly to let him deter Xiaoxiao, some little ghosts are really difficult, and the army can stop for a while when it comes back.
Lu Fang didn't dare to stay, and hurriedly came to the Qianqing Palace.
"Has the master ever come out?" Glancing at the little eunuch next to him, Lu Fang tidied up his dress a little.
"Back to Godfather, the master has never come out." The little eunuch naturally didn't dare to slack off.
"Hmm." Lu Fang nodded slightly and stepped forward and knocked on the door, although he said that he didn't want to disturb His Majesty's Qing Xiu, but this kind of thing really needs to be notified to His Majesty.
"Lu Fang, come in." Zhu Houxi knew that if Lu Fang didn't have anything important, he would definitely not look for him at this time, since he was looking for him, the matter would definitely not be too small, and he would almost be stable, but he couldn't use his internal qi on a large scale, and he would need to recuperate slowly.
"Master, how are you?" As soon as Lu Fang came in, he could smell a very strong smell of medicine, but His Majesty's mental state was indeed much better.
"It's okay, just say anything directly, if you don't have something important, you won't bother me at this time." Zhu Houxi slowly opened his eyes, it is almost the same at present, his mental state is fine, and he can't always let Lu Fang and them hold on to see what he can do.
"General Qi is back with the team, and the slave has come to tell Your Majesty."
"Oh? This is back, for my wide clothes, and I will personally pick him up. Zhu Houxi's eyes lit up, no matter what, Qi Jingtong's battle was indeed fought beautifully, the Tatar side couldn't slow down for decades, and after a few decades, the questions over there were all taken astray, how could it be possible.
Besides, Zhu Houxi intends to improve the army's voice in the court, then his attitude must be put in place, and everyone must know that he attaches great importance to this matter, if he does not show up after such a big victory, outsiders will definitely think that he does not attach importance to this matter, and those officials are very realistic people.
Those who stayed were more or less very attentive people, so Zhu Houxi's attitude was very important, besides, there were rumors outside that he was seriously ill, and if he didn't show up, he would probably be dead.
"Why don't you go on your master's behalf." In fact, the emperor personally went to greet him and the specifications were indeed a little higher, but Qi Jingtong did have this merit, and there was actually no big problem, but Lu Fang was mainly worried about Zhu Houxi's body.
"Haha, my body hasn't been weakened to this extent, let's go, let's go, let me see my victorious general, Da Ming has been suppressed for decades, and it can be regarded as a breath of evil." Zhu Houxi laughed, how could he not go at this time, not to mention that his body was okay, even if his body was not good, he had to go out to show up.
If he doesn't appear again, I'm afraid others will think he's dead, the palace has been cleaned so many times and it's still like this bird, but there's no way to do it, at least it's much better than before, at least it's not so blatant, so be it, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and the desire is endless, the key is that there is no time to manage these little people now, or wait for later.
Such a small palace, Zhu Houxi still doesn't believe it, even if people have desires, but Lao Tzu satisfies your desires, it's really not good I have cultivated it since I was a child, and he doesn't believe that it has always been like this.
"No, the slave maid will be dressed for His Majesty." What else can Lu Fang say, he also knows that His Majesty should go out at this time, so let's go out, Qi Jingtong did fight an unprecedented victory, although the credit belongs to His Majesty, but Qi Jingtong can be regarded as leading the troops well, and it is not impossible for the Son of Heaven to greet him, and His Majesty does intend to improve the army's right to speak.
Zhu Houyu nodded slightly, but Zhu Houyu just put on a more formal dress a little, Lu Fang really wanted to give Zhu Houyu a set, after all, it was a public occasion, if it was according to the normal etiquette of the emperor, it would be very troublesome, but Zhu Houyu refused, his reception was the greatest grace, there was no need to engage in those bells and whistles.
Of course, etiquette is indispensable when preparing below, but for him, he is exceptional, there is no need to find guilt for himself, right, he can see as he wants, he can see as he wants, and there is no need to care about other people's opinions.
Could it be that Qi Jingtong would be dissatisfied because Zhu Houxi was dressed casually? This is obviously impossible, and Zhu Houxi's personal reception must represent a lot of things.
As for the eyes of outsiders, it's still the same sentence, the face is fought for by himself, not by other people's charity, if Qi Jingtong loses, no matter how well Zhu Houxi dresses up, everyone will not pay attention to it, and now, even if he is wearing coarse linen clothes, everyone doesn't dare to say anything, this is might.
"Master, you can't be as casual as in the palace." Lu Fang was a little helpless, he felt that he couldn't lose the prestige of the emperor, although His Majesty sometimes did not have any shelf.
"Haha, is there any difference between inside the palace and outside the palace, Lu Fang, your thinking has not changed, the whole world is not the king's land, although they all say so, but everyone understands in their hearts that the emperor can control this small Forbidden City, sometimes even the palace can't be controlled, even if you think so, it's no wonder that others."
Zhu Houxi sighed, and then said: "But it's different now, if I want this sentence to become a reality, your attitude will change, even the most trusted people around me don't believe that this matter can be successful, how can others abide by it?" ”
Zhu Houyu doesn't blame Lu Fang, Lu Fang's character, how to say it, soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, but sometimes it's a little too soft, he does have his own ideas, but this style of behavior and behavior, Zhu Houyu sometimes doesn't like it very much, Zhu Houyi just mentions it a little.
After all, he is the boss, what's wrong with a little bit of his own requirements, Zhu Houxi feels that his requirements are not too much, and he can take a slightly softer approach, but if he is too soft, others will think that you are weak, it is completely unnecessary, and you should be strong when you should be strong.
"No, the slave and maid try to correct it."
"Okay, just wear this, I'm not used to wearing formal clothes, but the specifications of the reception can't be lowered, let's go to the city tower first, I have given Qi Jingtong enough face, and this guy is angry." Zhu Houxi smiled and shook his head, he was indeed angry, although he provided some scientific and technological means, but Daming was suppressed for decades, and psychologically the soldiers may be in a weak position.
But Qi Jingtong still led them to win step by step, how could there be no credit, in general, let him lead the troops This move is the right one.
I don't know where Wang Yangming went, he won't really go abroad, let him go out for three years, it's been more than a year, and it's been gone for almost a year, it's weird to worry, if it's gone, Zhu Houxi will really lose a lot, in his heart, Yan Song and Qi Jingtong together can't compare to Wang Yangming.
The talent of this sage in the world has not yet been shown, if it falls, how distressing it will be, of course, Wang Yangming is still a little close, which is also one of the reasons why Zhu Houxi let him out, but he couldn't get it directly, and it was quite helpless to think about it.
After cleaning up a little, Zhu Houxi took the civil and military officials to the city gate, since he wanted to do it, he had to do it in place, besides, he could wait, what could the civil and military officials say?
