Chapter 259: I will lead the charge
This was a sudden assassination, but Zhu Yijun quickly put on the iron armor and walked out of the bedroom with the riders.
The pattern of the entire Yicheng Bofu is clear to Zhu Yijun.
Yicheng Bofu is backed by the mountains and forests of the remaining veins of the West Mountain, which is divided into two directions, the eastern terrain is lower, in the mountain depression, and the western terrain is higher, in the middle of the mountainside.
Because of the good lighting, Zhang Juzheng gave up the Langxuan Pavilion halfway up the mountain to Zhu Yijun, and he went to the other side, where there was a small river and mountain road in the middle.
Zhu Yijun quickly judged the direction of the enemy's attack, coming from the mountains and forests, he made a judgment at the first time, it was not Zhang Juzheng who wanted to kill him, because when these enemies attacked, the main direction was the mountain depression where Zhang Juzheng lived, and there were almost no invasions of Zhu Yijun.
There was a mess outside the house, Zhu Yijun looked around, buckled up his face armor, and went straight to the direction where Zhang Juzheng lived with his horse, and in a very short time, Zhu Yijun judged that the target of this assassination was not the emperor, but Zhang Juzheng!
On the mountain road, a group of bandits who went up the mountain and the Ti cavalry led by the Ming Emperor met head-on, and the fight began.
It was too late to shoot a bow and arrow at this distance, and the length of the hook and sickle could not be played in the narrow mountain road, so the cavalry drew out the Qi family's waist knife and began to respond to the enemy, Zhu Yijun's mind was blank, and he rushed over with people.
Zhu Yijun experienced the war for the first time, and the whole person was in a state of extreme excitement, the commander was Ti Shuai Zhao Mengyou, and Zhu Yijun was completely ignoring his identity on the battlefield, obeying the dispatch of the tooth flag, the sound of the horn, and constantly turning to the battle.
Zhu Yijun finally understood what Qi Jiguang said, in the battle of the large corps, the trend of individual bravery on the battle situation is almost zero, and the commander's example, in most cases, plays a role in boosting morale.
For the first time, he also understood why under the long-range weapon of the fire gun and the long soldier of the hook and sickle gun, the Ming soldiers still had the intention of matching the waist knife of the short soldier Qi family, because in this fighting environment, in the case of close combat, the waist knife is the only weapon that can effectively kill the enemy.
Zhao Mengyou, as the commander, wanted to withdraw the emperor's ten-man team several times, but the change of the battle line made him unable to make this decision at all, the enemy came prepared, and the attack was fast and fast, and the ten-man team led by the emperor was a sharp blade that cut through the butter.
As a courtier, he wanted to transfer the emperor's ten-man team, but as a commander, he couldn't.
Almost a roaring shout of killing, the sound of metal colliding with jingo, the wail of pain, the whistle of an arrow rising, this is a battlefield full of rust.
There were about 600 horsemen guarding the emperor, and the strong combat power of these 600 horsemen wearing iron armor was vividly reflected at this moment.
Zhu Yijun took six hundred horsemen, like a horse, and rushed into the battle array under the starlight, just like ice and snow met hot and red iron, the enemy was rapidly melting, and with the addition of the horsemen, the battle situation was completely one-sided.
Offensive! Offensive! Offensive!
Using the skills he has learned, using the blade in his hand, to completely kill the enemy, is the only thought in Zhu Yijun's heart, he can't think too much, the rushing blood is flowing in the veins, and he only has the enemy in his eyes.
Zhu Yijun kicked away the enemy in front of him, Luo Sigong interspersed from the left side, and slashed at the opponent's neck, Zhao Zhenyuan's arrow immediately hit an enemy who was going to cut Luo Sigong, Zhu Yijun drew a large waist knife, a vertical split, and took away the person's life.
There is no mercy, and there is no respect for life, war is probably so ruthless, and those who experience it are part of this machine.
The whole process of the battle lasted for nearly three hours, and at the end of the battle, Zhu Yijun was completely exhausted, his chest and lungs were like broken bellows, he was snorting and breathing the air mixed with the smell of blood in the morning, and his whole body was like falling apart, and the feeling of peeling off his body that did not belong to him made Zhu Yijun extremely tired.
He sat on a big bluestone to rest, and next to him were Luo Sigong and Zhao Zhenyuan, who had fought with him all night, and the situation of the two people was worse than Zhu Yijun, both of them were lying on the ground, if it weren't for the emperor still in front of him, I am afraid that he would have fallen asleep a long time ago.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang has arrived." Zhao Zhenyuan said weakly.
Responsible for cleaning the battlefield is Qi Jiguang, the Ming Jing camp began to mobilize when the emperor went to Yicheng Bofu, Qi Jiguang personally led a foot battalion to camp at the foot of the mountain, after the war, Qi Jiguang immediately began to take the infantry battalion to help, this assassination encounter came suddenly, but the main melody was the pursuit, with the support of Tiqi and the Beijing camp, the pursuit lasted all night.
Zhang Juzheng doesn't know martial arts, he is poor and rich in martial arts, although he was born in a military family, but his family background makes him unable to practice martial arts, so at the beginning of the assassination, he was protected by You Qi.
Zhang Juzheng saw the rising sun, and also saw the emperor under the morning sun and the morning glow, very tired sitting on the big bluestone, the golden glow illuminated the armor, and the emperor was shrouded in beautiful light and shadow.
Zhang Juzheng noticed that the emperor's armor was all blood, and even some places had scabs, and those exquisite twelve chapter textures were all blood-red, which looked particularly charming.
A complex emotion filled Zhang Juzheng's heart, and he even began to doubt whether he was right, Your Majesty should not bear these at this age, those blood, those fights, and those conspiracies and tricks should have been his Taifu to shield himself from the wind and rain, but in order to return to his original position, he chose to let the young Majesty bear it.
"Sir, here?" Zhu Yijun showed a sunny smile, just like when he first met Zhang Juzheng, he smiled and said, "I! The world's first master in the junior group! ”
"How can Your Majesty personally put on the battle? The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, although His Majesty has martial arts, but how can he be so hasty, personally walking in the battle array, this sword is not long-eyed, if something happens, what should the Queen Mother do? What should His Royal Highness King Lu do? What should Da Ming do? Zhang Ju's face was extremely anxious, he heard that the emperor personally put on the battle, he began to be anxious, and this meeting began to nag.
It's nagging!
Buzzing, the smile on Zhu Yijun's face froze, and then transformed into incredible, and then turned into a smile again.
If Zhu Yijun hadn't been out of strength in the war, he would have laughed out loud, a familiar taste of nagging, chattering, taking care of everything, nagging about everything, on weekdays, what deviant things Zhu Yijun has done, Zhang Juzheng is so chattering and venting.
"Your Majesty, what the minister said involves the major affairs of the Zongmiao Society, as a monarch, you shouldn't let yourself..."
"Sir, I forgot to pay respects." Zhu Yijun interrupted Zhang Juzheng's words a little tiredly.
"This gentleman... Ah, the minister greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, no matter what..."Zhang Juzheng took the time to salute, and said, he was interrupted again, thanks to this is the emperor, otherwise Zhang Juzheng is really going to get started, it is basic politeness to let people finish speaking, and the emperor interrupted him again and again.
"Sir, I'm tired." Zhu Yijun said that he was really tired, wearing iron mixed armor to kill, and his physical strength had been exhausted, Zhu Yijun already had a feeling of being out of his body, and his body seemed to be completely unnatural, a very magical experience.
It was his subconscious decision to rush to kill with Ti Cai, and it was useless for Zhang Juzheng to nag again, it just happened.
"Your Majesty, go back to the palace to rest for the time being, and leave the rest to Qi Shuai!" Zhang Hong rushed out with four small yellow doors and lifted the emperor onto the sedan chair, Zhang Hong took the eunuchs, in fact, he has been following His Majesty not far behind.
After all, he was only fifteen years old, and even if he was the world's number one master in the youth group, after a long time of fighting, he was still exhausted, and he slept very peacefully.
When he woke up again, it was already the early morning of the next day, and when he woke up, Zhu Yijun was even in a trance, thinking that the assassination was just a dream, but when he saw Zhang Hong and the quiet horsemen in the room, and felt the pain like tears all over his body, he knew that an exhausting war did happen the night before yesterday.
After using a bowl of Shanxi millet porridge, two big white steamed buns and a light cake, Zhu Yijun finally felt that he had come back to life.
"Your Majesty, could it be Taifu?" Zhang Hong's voice was very low, with horror and uneasiness, this is what only ministers and demon eunuchs can say, and the evil words of the monarch and the minister.
Feng Bao said with great concern: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks so. ”
"It's normal to be suspicious, even before I met Mr., I had some doubts, but as soon as he saw us yesterday, he started nagging, and I was almost tired to death at that time, and Mr. kept nagging the gentleman or something, and the head we said hurt and annoyed to death." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "No, Mr. really wants to kill us, we are dead now." ”
"You can doubt Mr.'s loyalty, but you shouldn't doubt Mr.'s ability, if Mr. really wants to kill, he can kill whomever he wants, even us."
"What did you do?"
"Ti Shuai put the Taifu under house arrest in Zhu Yixuan, and didn't let him see anyone, and he will decide when His Majesty wakes up." Feng Bao answered this slightly tricky question, and after Zhang Juzheng met him, he was placed under house arrest by Zhao Mengyou.
"Nonsense! Bring the gentleman to dinner, and remove the chili sauce. When Zhu Yijun heard this, he slapped his forehead and removed the chili sauce from the big white steamed bun.
This is not Zhao Mengyou's fault, the assassination happened in Yicheng Bofu, Zhang Juzheng is the owner of Yicheng Bofu, he is the first suspect, Zhao Mengyou detained people, it is his duty as Ti Shuai.
Zhu Yijun called Zhang Juzheng over for dinner, and specially removed the hot sauce, which was for Zhang Juzheng's health.
After Zhang Juzheng met him, he had a stomach problem, but he still ate the meal first, and then he said, Ti Shuai Zhao Mengyou, he didn't give Zhang Juzheng a mouthful of food and water, Zhang Juzheng has always been more worried about whether the emperor is injured, and he is not in the mood to eat, until he sees that His Majesty is in excellent spirits, and the heart that mentions his throat and eyes falls back into his stomach.
"Seeing that my husband is safe, I am relieved." Zhu Yijun waited until Zhang Juzheng finished breakfast before speaking.
"Your Majesty, in the future, you will never be able to personally perform the front again, this battle array sword has no eyes, Your Majesty's body of the Son of Heaven, how can you abandon the country and the society?" Zhang Juzheng flicked his sleeves and gave a big salute.
He finally understood why Xia Yuanji opposed Zhu Di's personal expedition to the Northern Expedition, if Zhu Di only boosted morale, the key was that Zhu Di had been fighting all his life, and he was going to charge into battle.
"Got it, got it, sir, please get up." Zhu Yijun had a headache when he heard the nagging, and agreed very perfunctorily.
"This assassination was launched in a very hasty manner after careful preparation, careful preparation, the number of people killed in the middle of the night before yesterday, at least more than 700 people, these thieves, there are swords, guns, swords, halberds, armor, bows and arrows, and even firearms, such a scale of outlaws came to Gyeonggi, and there are such armaments, obviously long-term careful preparations."
"But the signs of a hasty launch are also obvious, and there is no coordination between the teams, so I thought that this assassination was a temporary intention, and when I saw that I had stayed in Yicheng Bofu, I immediately launched an assassination." Zhu Yijun first explained his analysis.
The hasty launch after careful preparation, everything was because the emperor arrived.
With so many people, so many armaments, and even firearms, this is not something that can be prepared in a short period of time, otherwise it will definitely not be able to hide from the eyes and ears of the Ming court, but the process of the battle also shows that the other party's actions are improvised, all because the emperor has arrived.
"Your Majesty's wisdom has been accomplished." Zhang Juzheng also agreed with the emperor's analysis.
In this attack, the target was very clear, from beginning to end, Zhang Juzheng was the main direction of the attack, and the eastern mountain depression was also the main direction.
Zhu Yijun said very clearly: "The reason why they chose to launch hastily is that there are three purposes, the best result is to kill Mr. and kill me, so that King Lu will ascend the throne, and the lord Shaoguo will be suspicious; The second is to kill the gentleman, failed to break through the defense line of the cavalry, and killed the gentleman, and removed their henchmen. ”
"The worst result is that Mr. is fine, and I am fine, but the assassination happened in Yicheng Bofu, I will definitely suspect Mr., and Mr. may also suspect me, and if the monarch and the minister have a gap, they will be in the midst of instigation, becoming more and more estranged, and in the end, it is impossible for Mr. to return to the court."
"Thousands of calculations, maybe I didn't calculate, I led the cavalry to attack, and in the end, they didn't achieve any goals."
The emperor would take the lead in the charge, who would have thought that?
Yicheng Bofu has five hundred Tielin Army to take care of, Tielin Army is the emperor's guard to Wuxun, sent by the imperial court, according to the system, there are only fifty people in the Earl's Mansion, but Zhang Juzheng's situation is special, Zhu Yijun is worried about Zhang Juzheng's safety, and Tegarn has reached five hundred.
If Zhu Yijun does not lead the cavalry to attack, and the cavalry has the duty to protect His Majesty, then the five hundred Tielin Army and the seven hundred bandits, who loses and who wins, it is hard to say, since these seven hundred bandits dare to kill the emperor, they are all outlaws, and they have long been dead soldiers who have no life and no life, and their combat power can be imagined.
But Zhu Yijun, the emperor, was an emperor who practiced martial arts, personally led the troops, and the cavalry moved with the emperor's movement, which finally changed the situation of the battle.
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng didn't mean to defend himself, even if the emperor really doubted him, he didn't have any good way, he was not the president of the Ming Huidian, the Taifu, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the secretary Zhang Juzheng, but Zhang Juzheng, the uncle of Yicheng, and he had no ability to resist in the face of the emperor.
After losing power, like a phoenix in the water, it is not as good as a chicken, Zhang Juzheng also expected today's situation, but he still gave up power.
"I finally know, the monarch and the minister can't be too close, the monarch eats in the courtier's mansion is already a big deal, the monarch stays in the courtier's mansion, this situation will occur, no matter whether the assassination is successful or not, as long as the assassination happens, it must be the gap between the monarch and the minister, and the existence of the chain of suspicion will lead to disharmony between the monarch and the minister, which becomes inevitable." Zhu Yijun said sincerely.
The person who launched the assassination was definitely not confused, and even if he couldn't succeed, his goal was achieved.
The chain of suspicion between the monarch and the minister, that is, once there is a discord between the monarch and the minister, the emperor will definitely suspect the courtier, and he must be killed in the end, otherwise the courtier will suspect the emperor and will inevitably rebel, this is an unsolvable chain of suspicion, which will not change because of the teacher-student relationship between Zhang Juzheng and the emperor.
"Fortunately, it's me, and it's me." Zhu Yijun boasted very rarely, and even a little proud.
The unsolvable problem of the chain of suspicion was solved by him, and the key is that when he made the decision at that time, he didn't think about it so much at all, but he felt that it should be so, which may be a political talent.
"Your Majesty, the minister is stupid." Zhang Juzheng was a little puzzled, not only Zhang Juzheng, but also Zhang Hong and Feng Bao were confused, His Majesty's words were a little sudden, and it was really difficult to turn this corner.
Zhu Yijun explained in great detail what he had realized, the method of cracking the chain of suspicion of the monarch and ministers.
Zhang Juzheng did not completely lose his power, because Emperor Zhu Yijun was blessed, he had 500 Tielin troops, and even the emperor personally rescued him.
The emperor personally saved his courtiers, which is a rare thing since ancient times, since ancient times, it was the courtiers who saved him, how could there be an emperor to save his courtiers?
But the matter is in front of us.
This breaks the foundation of the existence of the chain of suspicion between the emperor and the ministers, and the emperor personally leads the troops to rescue, that is, the emperor trusts the Taifu extremely much, and the Taifu does not have to doubt whether the emperor will doubt it, because the emperor has proved it with his actions.
"Your Majesty." Only then did Zhang Juzheng understand what His Majesty said, and some of His Majesty's unthoughtful thinking and strategies made the enemy's wishful thinking all come to naught.
Zhang Juzheng has to say that this is a terrible political talent.
Zhang Juzheng is already in his fifties, he has not rested for two nights and one day, and he is already a little inadequate, a person is a living creature, and when he is in a bad state, his thinking is not so comprehensive.
Zhang Juzheng was worried, he had been thinking about it for a day, and after thinking about it again and again, he said: "Your Majesty, do you want to stop the new policy?" ”
"It's impossible." Although Zhu Yijun's words were calm, they were categorical, the current new deal has reached the most critical time, everything is going on in an orderly manner, and it is absolutely impossible for him to allow the new deal to pause.
"Your Majesty, just stop, wait until Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and then it is not too late to implement, Your Majesty is still young, and he is not in a hurry." Zhang Juzheng's meaning is not that the new deal will not be carried out, but that the contradictions have intensified to this point, and it is already a bit too hasty, so you can wait for a while, and wait until the strength in Your Majesty's hands accumulates some more, and then implement it.
"Mr. is also confused, the matter of the new deal, has always been to open the bow without turning back, once stopped, it is a counteroffensive backwards, the situation will be worse, the new deal is difficult to implement, not a few years, the Ming Dynasty will die, now is the only chance for the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Don't persuade again, assassinate the king, burn the palace, assassinate the palace, these grandfathers have also experienced, I am just a repeat experience, I can't retreat, I can't stop, because behind me is a cliff." Zhu Yijun is still very persistent.
"What tricks are there, use them as soon as possible, the winner is the king, and the loser is Kou!"
The twenty-five years of Daoye's shame were inevitable after the Renyin Palace Change, and Dao Ye chose to dodge, because of the new policy in the first twenty years, because of cultivation and discouragement, the new policy was abolished, and Dao Ye just wanted to come out of Xiyuan again, and it was absolutely impossible, the general trend has gone, and Dao Ye, as a monarch, has no ability to go against the trend.
Zhu Yijun refused to stop, because he was the emperor, the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't bear to spend the next fifty years in shame, so he wanted to fight, and would rather die in splendor than live in shame.
"Your Majesty is not a king or a king, but a king is a king, and the reason why he can succeed is because he is on the royal road, and the reason why he is defeated is because he is not on the royal road, and it should be so." Zhang Juzheng said sincerely: "The minister has no worries anymore. ”
The king is defeated, the winner is the king, and the loser is the king.
The king is defeated, the king wins the king's way, and the king loses the king's way.
What Zhang Juzheng said, the meaning is very clear, is it the winner who writes history, or does history choose the winner? Obviously, Zhang Juzheng is still fulfilling the mission of the Taifu and educating the little emperor, after all, the emperor still calls him Mr. and has never changed his words.
"Sir is really talented, so tired, he still teaches me the truth." Zhu Yijun couldn't help nodding his head, which is also the reason why he likes to talk to Zhang Juzheng, many of Zhang Juzheng's views are completely different from others, and in Zhu Yijun's personal opinion, they are more accurate.
Zhu Yijun took out a pencil and made notes, and suddenly frowned, he found that there was something wrong with Zhang Juzheng's thinking!
He frowned and looked at Zhang Juzheng's face, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was, and asked with a little doubt: "Sir, don't be confused, what kind of suicide Mingzhi happened, after Zhu Kun, the plague lasted for decades, and Mr. Mingzhi was Mingzhi, but this seeking glory and humiliation is also a sign of the country." ”
"Ah, that's right." Zhang Juzheng is in a trance, he Zhang Juzheng is a person, but his name is also synonymous with the New Deal, if he dies in a humiliating way, the New Deal will naturally come to an abrupt end, as His Majesty said, the Ming Dynasty will die within decades.
Therefore, for the sake of Daming, he can't commit suicide Mingzhi.
"Sir, did you really think so?! How can you think so? Ah, these, they still kill less! Zhu Yijun said angrily, he was even more dissatisfied with the Cheap Confucian, this kind of grasp of the opportunity was obviously done by the Cheap Confucian.
"Zhang Daban, send Mr. back to the room to rest, this is obviously not enough sleep, thinking about anything, I am a little confused, hurry up." Zhu Yijun let Zhang Juzheng rest, and after the assassination, Zhang Juzheng never slept, and his mind would be affected by the state.
Zhang Juzheng committed suicide, and Zhu Yijun couldn't clean up the mess he left behind, and he couldn't clean it up.
"Your Majesty, all the ministers are waiting outside the Yicheng Bofu, whether to announce it or not, they all arrived yesterday." Feng Bao asked the emperor, and the news of the emperor's assassination in Xishan was transmitted back to Jingshi, and all the officials in Jingtang came to Xishan to wait.
"It's okay not to be on duty at the official office, come here to join in the fun, go and go, let them go back." Zhu Yijun waved his hand again and again, these officials of the Ming Dynasty, when they got the opportunity, they were lazy to fish, didn't go to work, and went to the West Mountain? !
Feng Bao was down on the spot, and the assassination happened, the hundred officials in the Jingtang, whoever didn't come was the one who was the most suspicious, is this a matter of not going to work? But His Majesty thought so, Feng Bao couldn't persuade him, so he could only go to the interrogation.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!" A small yellow door shouted in a loud voice, and the queen mother of the two palaces broke in in a hurry, regardless of etiquette, turned Zhu Yijun inside and out, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"This group of ministers is simply lawless, pull them all to the Yongding River and behead them, change one batch, and the next batch will be like this, then change them again! Feng Bao, immediately go to draw up the decree and let Zhao Mengyou arrest all the people! Empress Dowager Li was so angry that the whole person was in a state of detachment and anger, and she even planned to ignore the Spring and Autumn Period, and planned to make an edict to kill Jingtang cleanly, and it would be transparent to kill it cleanly.
"Huh?" Feng Bao looked at the furious Empress Dowager Li blankly, and didn't know how to explain.
Zhu Yijun actually doubted the Empress Dowager Li, after all, according to history, the Empress Dowager Li favored her youngest son Zhu Yiyi even more, and even in the eighth year of Wanli, after Emperor Wanli messed around, she said that she wanted to change the emperor.
But now, when I look at it, Empress Dowager Li is just a woman, just like the thousands of mothers who want their sons to become Jackie Chan, when their children are not angry, they will always be desperate to get angry.
"How can there be blood in the Jingtang, this has killed hundreds of officials, and this court is directly gone." Zhu Yijun hurriedly persuaded and persuaded Empress Dowager Li to calm down, he was also tired, and after the bloody battle, he had to persuade Mr. not to be confused, and to persuade his mother not to be mad.
After half an hour of persuasion, Empress Dowager Li's anger finally calmed down.
"I've wronged the emperor." Empress Dowager Li cried and said that after being angry, there is a grievance, and after a grievance, it is a complaint against her husband, how old is the son, fifteen years old, he has to bear this, and the husband left behind, leaving the child to suffer like this.
Zhu Yiyi was really frightened when he looked at it from the side, in his young opinion, what is good about being an emperor, how can he be comfortable being a prince in the face of these ups and downs? Take a look at the imperial uncle Zhu Zaiyu, who can do what he wants, and the beauties of all countries are waiting.
It is not easy to be a good emperor, Zhu Yiyi witnessed the emperor's hard work, and the armor full of blood was placed next to him.
In the opinion of the young Zhu Yiyi, being an emperor is really not as good as a prince.
Yesterday I participated in the engagement banquet of the leader's son, and the one who accompanied the runner could only drink, and I didn't know how to go home. Asking for a monthly pass, woo!!!!!
