Yan Yuan walked briskly in the leopard room in the west garden of the capital.

Since the completion of the leopard house in the second year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao has never returned to the Forbidden City, but has been free in the leopard room.

Under the guidance of the eunuchs, he soon came to the front of Emperor Zhengde.

Zhu Houzhao greeted him with a smile, and at this time his body was full of all kinds of delicacies and treasures, and it was obvious that the emperor was enjoying life.

It can be seen that the young emperor doesn't care much about the life and death of the eunuch, and it is far less sad than Zhu Qizhen when Wang Zhen died.

Also, it's just an ordinary subordinate in the palace, even if there was a little favor, when he found that the other party had threatened him, that feeling had been completely eliminated.

Yan Yuan thought so.

He sat down under Zhu Houzhao.

This time he entered the palace, nominally only because the emperor wanted to discuss some military issues with him.

But Yan Yuan knew that this meeting was not just as simple as talking and chatting.

The renewal of the civil official group is very fast, and the imperial examination will create a lot of fresh blood for them, and when Liu Jin is dead, someone needs to take advantage of the opportunity that they have not yet recovered, and take his place to continue to maintain the hard-won balance.

Otherwise, it may be like later generations, Wei Zhongxian fell, and soon after, he was "all in the right dynasty".

This is the emperor trying to woo him.

Yan Yuan smiled lightly, why wasn't he waiting for this opportunity?

"If Chen Guogong is allowed to lead the Beijing army, I wonder if you can train the troops near the Beijing Division to be as cowardly as they were at the beginning?" The two chatted about the battle for a while, and Zhu Houzhao said seemingly unintentionally.

Hearing this, Yan Yuan's spirit was shocked.

The focus is not on military training, but on the general leadership of the Beijing army.

The last person with such great power was his great-grandfather Yan Keng, although he had not given up his military power to enter the cabinet at that time, but no one in the court dared to ignore his words.

Controlling almost all the armies in the Gyeonggi region was a great power and a symbol of the emperor's trust and favor.

"If the minister is allowed to command the Beijing army, the minister will do his best to train an elite and strong army to defend the majesty of His Majesty and the stability of the Ming Dynasty. The place where His Majesty's sword is pointing is the place where Yuan led the Beijing army to fight to the death! ”

Yan Yuan fell to his knees without hesitation, loudly expressing his loyalty.

And Zhu Houzhao didn't speak, just looked at him condescendingly.

For a moment, none of them spoke.

The tea time had passed, but the two of them were still silent, and a drop of sweat flowed down Yan Yuan's forehead. Although the young man in front of him was much younger than him, under the silent gaze of this emperor, he still felt a layer of pressure in his heart.

After a long time, Zhu Houzhao said softly:

"Aiqing, be even, I believe in you."

"After today, except for my pro-army, the rest of the Jingshi garrison will be under your command."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yan Yuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said loudly.

Was it just now that the emperor was deliberately putting pressure on himself, hinting not to act as recklessly as Liu Jin?

Your Majesty is really not as simple as eating, drinking, and having fun.

While sighing, his heart is also unstoppable joy.

Although he knew that Zhu Houzhao would inevitably reuse him, he still didn't expect such a big power.

In charge of the Beijing army, the military power is in hand, and from now on, whoever talks to him in the court will be three points weaker.

Just when Yan Yuan was overjoyed, there was suddenly a sound of hurried footsteps coming from a distance.

From afar, you can hear a eunuch chanting:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

"Big things don't ...... good"

"King Anhua has rebelled!"

"Hurry up and prepare, I want to drive the expedition, drive the expedition!" Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted excitedly, the solemn atmosphere was swept away, and he seemed to have forgotten what he was talking to Yan Yuan just now.

……

Brother, let's reveal our true form?

Yan Yuan looked at Zhu Houzhao speechlessly, this Zhengde Emperor was now jumping up and down excitedly, as if there was good news that there was a rebellion in his empire, even the eunuch was a little at a loss, and looked at Yan Yuan with a pleading gaze.

It is said that this emperor likes to fight, and his personality is even more jumpy, just now he was too strong, and he forgot a little, and now he has finally exposed his true nature.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

"The matter of King Anhua, as long as you send a general who can conquer the war, you don't need to work Your Majesty."

"Even if you have to go on a personal expedition, you can't send troops so hastily."

"In the battle of Huailai that year, Emperor Ying Zongrui prepared for a month before he set out, and even so, he was almost defeated by Wara, if it wasn't for luck, I was afraid that there would have been a big disaster."

"We can't hope that the heavens and the gods will favor us again."

Yan Yuan took a deep breath and said.

"Yes, yes." After listening to what Zhu Houzhao said, he even nodded, he straightened his chest and folded his belly, made a majestic appearance, and said:

"Chen Guogong Yan Yuan listens to orders! I command you to immediately raise food and grass, prepare your army, and prepare for the battle! ”

Yan Yuan promised, and Zhu Houzhao then said:

However, Chen Guogong has worked hard to prepare logistics, so there is no need to take action in the war. I decided to order Zhu Shou, the prince of Zhenguo and the mighty general, to lead the troops to the battle and bring peace to the king's rebellion! ”

Zhu Shou? Who is this?

Just when Yan Yuan was puzzled, Zhu Houzhao was already triumphant, and ordered the eunuch to hold out a big seal, he took off his dragon robe on the spot, changed into a scarlet robe, decorated with a large Duke flower, and tied his waist with a jade belt......

It turned out to be exactly the same as what Yan Yuan was wearing!

Looking at Yan Yuan, who was stunned, he looked like he had succeeded in his prank, and laughed, and Yan Yuan also instantly realized-

Zhu Shou, the prince of this town, is Zhu Houzhao himself!

……

Zhu Houzhao's decision was naturally opposed by the ministers, although there was no civil fort in this time and space, but the battle of Huailai also killed a lot of Wenchen, which was very dangerous!

However, Liu Jin's chaos had just passed, and the ministers were exhausted, and they really didn't have the strength to toss with this living ancestor, so in the end, Zhu Houzhao still gathered a large army as he wished and prepared to go out.

It's a pity that when more than half a month passed and everything was ready, a piece of news came from Gansu.

In only 19 days, the rebellion of Zhu Ningxiao, the king of Anhua, was declared a failure, and Qiu Yuesheng captured the king of Anhua and his generals He Jin and Ding Guang, and the rebellion was quelled, and at this time, the Beijing army had just stepped out of Beijing.

This is of course a good thing, but Zhu Houzhao is extremely disappointed.

He has learned a lot of theories, just waiting for a practice, why, why can't he wait for this opportunity?

Zhu Houzhao, who was unwilling, had no choice but to call Yan Yuan to the leopard room and accompany him to conduct a sand table military exercise.

Yan Yuanjie played a war game with Zhu Houzhao firmly.

This may be just right for Zhu Houzhao, a young man, but for an uncle in his thirties, it is really a bit naïve.

Yan Yuan only felt tired for a while, this guy was too capable of making trouble.

He couldn't help but think of Yan Keng, who was also facing a young emperor at that time.

My dear great-grandfather, when you faced Emperor Yingzong, was it the same?
