-- The book continues --

When Zhu Youzan came to his senses, he knew that his son was under house arrest for Empress Xiao and important ministers of the court, and ceded the land to the rebellious minister and thief Zhang Xianzhong, who vomited blood directly.

Zhu Youzan let Jinyiwei assassinate the prince and failed, resulting in the prince falsely preaching the holy decree to ascend the throne as the emperor, Zhu Youzan was in favor of the emperor five months after the news of Zhu Youzan's death, and a few days later Empress Xiao also followed Zhu Youzan.

In order to win the hearts of the people, after everything was calmed down, the prince took advantage of Zhu Youzan's failure to reward the meritorious soldiers who destroyed the Goryeo State, and rewarded them, some people were excited, and some people were depressed.

Chen Hongfan, Cao Wenzhao and others who supported the prince were the worst, and they all got the title of a county man, Ma Qiancheng and Zuo Liangyu were the generals of the left and right roads, and the prince gave them more fiefs and hundreds of food estates, and the two knelt down to thank them without joy.

Next is Yuan Chonghuan and Qi Jiguang, so for their reward, the prince is not stingy.

Yuan Chonghuan, as Zhu Youzan's right-hand man, naturally made a lot of contributions, and the prince directly gave him the official position of a lieutenant.

As for Qi Jiguang, the prince directly offered Situ's official position to him, but Qi Jiguang resolutely refused to accept this reward, and after the reward was completed, almost everyone set their eyes on Wang Weijun.

Wang Weijun, as the military advisor of this expedition to Goryeo, can be said to be the hero of this victory, plus the first emperor Zhu Youzan's holy favor to him, so everyone knows that his reward is not small.

When the crown prince issued a reward for him, it still startled everyone.

"Po-Yang-County Marquis Wang Weijun, hard work, meritorious service in breaking the enemy, is the pillar of my Ming Kingdom, specially given the title of Duke of Jiangxi, and given the position of Taishi, in order to comfort his meritorious ......"

Guogong? The position of the Grand Master?

As soon as this reward came out, there was an uproar in the dynasty, and the title represented the symbol of the nobility of the Ming Dynasty.

Since the crown prince ascended the throne, the reward for the title can already be described as "not stingy", at this time everyone looked at Yuan Chonghuan and others, and found that their faces were calm, and they immediately knew in their hearts.

However, this is the prince's secret surrender to Wang Weijun, with only 100 guards, who are under house arrest in Beiping City............

In this way, after the funeral of the Emperor Taishang and the Queen Mother, Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang and others returned to their hometowns.

The end of the Xuanqi year, the beginning of the year of virtue and politics!

Because Wang Weijun attached great importance to the lives of soldiers, he began to compensate the families of soldiers who died in the war.

According to the pension plan given by Wang Weijun, in the future, Yang-Zhou will pay compensation to the soldiers who died in the battle to protect the former emperor Zhu Youzan in the name of the Royal Academy.

As soon as Wang Weijun's bereavement measure came out, even Xia He was surprised.

Xia He is a smart woman, and when she saw Wang Weijun's pension measures, she guessed that Wang Weijun must have taken this opportunity to improve the status of the Ming soldiers.

In particular, these Wang Weijun's pension measures have been taken, and now the whole Yang-Zhou is praising Wang Weijun's goodness.

At this time, the prince was sitting in the imperial study, looking at the dozens of pieces on the table, and suddenly pinched his temples painfully, a little angry, and said: "This Wang Weijun is really not idle at all, I really want to get rid of him!" ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave has a plan to get rid of those who are not loyal to His Majesty!" An old eunuch said.

"Oh, who are you?" The prince asked a little curiously.

"Old slave, Li Jinzhong!" The old eunuch said.

"Tell me about it!" The prince said.

"We're so, we're so, we're so!" When the old eunuch finished speaking, the prince laughed.

If Wang Weijun is present, he must scold, I slot!

Li Jinzhong is Wei Zhongxian, the word is complete, and Wang Zhen during the Ming Yingzong, Wang Zhi during the Ming Xianzong, and Liu Jin during the Ming Wuzong are called the "Four Great Eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty".

Soon Li Jinzhong, under the support of the crown prince, began a large-scale suppression of the court, and the Ming Dynasty spent several years in "peace", during which Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang, Ma Qiancheng, Yu Dayou and others died one after another.

During this period, Li Jinzhong served as the eunuch of Sili Bingbi and changed his original surname back to Wei, and at the same time, the crown prince gave him the name Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian was once again extremely favored and trusted in history, known as "9,900 years old", excluding dissidents and arbitrarily dictating state politics, so that people "only knew that there were loyal and virtuous, but did not know that there was an emperor".

During the period Zhang Xianzhong in an innocent attack on the nine counties of Jingzhou, the prince ordered Zuo Liangyu, Cao Wenzhao, Chen Hongfan to quell the chaos, a big battle Ming was defeated, Ma Shaoyu, Wang Ziyong died in battle, and Cao Wenzhao although known for his cunning and fierceness, in the pursuit of Zhang Xianzhong's subordinate Li Zicheng fell into a heavy siege, defeated and committed suicide.

In Wei Zhongxian's operation, Xiangyang, Jiangling, Wuling, and Jiaozhi were given to Zhang Xianzhong as territories.

Many people saw that the Ming Dynasty was easy to bully, and Gao Yingxiang also remembered to be the emperor.

In the ninth year of Dezheng, in July, Shen Zhixiang raised troops.

In the ninth year of the German government, in August, Gao Yingxiang raised troops.

In the ninth year of Dezheng, in August, Ming Muzong Zhu Zaigao's grandson, Mingshenzong's Zhu Yijun's nephew, and the third son of Zhu Yiyi, the king of Lujian, Zhu Changshu raised troops.

The prince had no choice but to ask Wang Weijun to go out, and soon Wang Weijun was arranged, Gao Yingxiang led the army out of Hanzhong, plotted to attack Chang'an, and traveled to Heishuiyu, where he was ambushed by Sun Chuanting, defeated and captured.

Then Wang Weijun asked Sun Chuanting and Chen Hongfan to join forces, and soon put down Shen Zhixiang's mutiny. At the same time, the nine clans of Shen Zhixiang were destroyed.

It's a pity that Zuo Liangyu suffered a heavy blow when he pursued Zhang Xianzhong. As a result of this defeat, Xiong Wencan was stripped of his official position and ordered to await the arrival of his successor, Yang Sichang. Xiong Wencan was arrested and taken to Beijing for trial. In the ninth year of the political regime, he was sentenced to death and beheaded and abandoned the city.

Zhu Changshu took refuge with the defeated Zhang Xianzhong, and the crown prince asked Zuo Maodi to face the Great Western Kingdom before Ma Shaoyu's protection and demanded that Zhang Xianzhong surrender.

As a result, Zhang Xianzhong killed Zuo Maodi in anger, and Ma Shaoyu surrendered, Daxi Kingdom took the entire Jingzhou, and the troops approached Yang-Zhou.

Zuo Maodi in history, the word Zhongji, the number Luoshi. Famous politician, diplomat, national hero.

Chongzhen three years, the township test to raise people, the following year in the middle of the jinshi, appointed Shaanxi-West-Han-City Order, Zuo Maodi governed Hancheng, excellent political performance, the first in the examination, promoted by the county to hold important positions in the court, and became the trusted minister of Emperor Weizong.

In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, in the autumn, he went out to patrol the defense of the Yangtze River, and soon the northern capital fell, and his mother Chen died of hunger strike.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the country was troubled internally and externally, and crises were everywhere, and the building was about to collapse. When the Qing soldiers entered the customs and the national disaster was at the head, he stepped forward and was appointed as the right attendant of the military department and the right imperial history, with Chen Hongfan and Ma Shaoyu as deputy envoys, and went to Beijing to negotiate peace.

Quarrel with the Qing-Regent-Zheng-Wang-Duo-Er-Gon and resolutely safeguard the dignity of the Ming Dynasty.

After being detained by the Qing Dynasty, in the face of torture and coercion and temptation, he would rather be a Ming ghost than a Qing dynasty king, and would rather die than surrender, known as "Wen Tianxiang at the end of the Ming Dynasty". He was awarded the title of Doctor Guanglu and the book of the Ministry of Gifts.

Zuo Maodi's mighty and unyielding, rich and noble, unswerving, unswerving, death-defying people-ethnic integrity, and fierce loyalty to the country, the country and the people, have been praised by later generations.

When Wang Weijun repeatedly asked to send troops, he was rejected by the crown prince and Wei Zhongxian, and when Yang-Zhou was in danger, Wang Weijun took out Zhu Changwu's holy decree and returned the imperial power of the Han dynasty to Zhu Hetan, the only descendant of the prince's lineage.

After the army entered the city, the crown prince committed suicide, and Zhu and Tan ordered Jinyiwei to arrest Wei Zhongxian and escort him back for trial. Wei Zhongxian knew that he could not escape death, and hanged himself when he arrived in Fucheng, and the rest of the party was also purged.

Zhu Changzuo, author of the book "Jade Mirror New Tan", describes the process of the Wei Party's rebellion and defeat, and evaluates Wei Zhongxian, who is rich in shape and good in speech. A total of 10 volumes, all 32 categories.

Zhu and Tan ordered Wang Weijun to lead, Sun Chuanting, Qin Minping, Qin Bangping, Ma Xianglin, Yuan Chonghuan, and Chen Hongfan to recover the lost territory, and at the same time contact the descendants of Yun-Nan Muying to divide their troops to destroy Zhang Xianzhong.

Soon, the Ming Dynasty generals Zeng Ying, Li Zhanchun, Yu Dahai, Wang Xiang, Yang Zhan, Cao Xun, etc., gathered soldiers and horses, attacked the Onishi army, killed the officials of the Onishi regime, and posed a great threat to the Onishi regime. In this regard, Zhang Xianzhong carried out severe suppression.

Yang Zhan, whose name is Yuliang, was officially named the Marquis of Huayang, and his pawn was "Zhonghui", defeating Zhang Xianzhong's main force that went south by waterway, forcing him to strategically shift to northern Sichuan.

Zhang Xianzhong responded to the battle urgently, commanding the army and infantry to resist the Ming army on two sides, and Wang Xiangzi Ruiwu was pursued by Liu Wenxiu, and he was at the end of his rope and killed himself.

Zuo Liangyu killed Zhu Changshu and pursued Liu Wenxiu, while Zhang Xianzhong "was not prepared at the beginning, and when he heard the soldiers, he still thought that he was a coward, with half an arm in his body and three arrows in his waist, and he would look at it at the river with his teeth." ”

Zhang Xianzhong was killed by an arrow, and after Zhang Xianzhong's death, his subordinates "wrapped their bodies in brocade mattresses, buried them in a secluded place, and escaped."

Zhang Xianzhong's generals Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Feng Shuangli and others led the peasant army to the south, and were blocked by the Ming army's Zeng Ying in Chongqing, and after killing the defender Zeng Ying, they continued to move in the direction of Guizhou.

However, under the protection of Wang Weijun and Qin Liangyu, they surrendered, except for Ma Shaoyu, who was beheaded and exterminated the nine clans, except for Chen Hongfan, who died of illness the following year, and all the others let Zhu and Tan order them to make meritorious contributions.
