229 The army of the Western Road was ambushed again, and the emperor calmly arranged the siege

None of the ministers objected, and all the personnel transfers of the emperor were smoothly approved.

Now Jinyiwei has been completely taken over by the emperor, and is jointly managed by the Guo family, the Wu family, and the Hu family.

The five cities were divided into soldiers and horses, the northern and southern cities were led by the Zhou family, the middle city was led by the Wu family, and the eastern and western cities were led by the Guo family.

At this point, the maiden family of Empress Dowager Sun and Queen Qian was completely kicked out. Only the house of Empress Zhou remained, and the archway was erected there as the emperor to show his friendship.

In this way, the monarchs and ministers were greatly relieved.

Not only does the emperor want to firmly grasp the military power in the inner city, but the ministers also hope that the emperor's position will be stable, and the capital will be stable and peaceful, and that there will be no more tossing.

After talking about serious things, let's talk about light things.

Zhu Qiyu issued a very gentle edict: "Nangong was originally the imperial grandson palace built by Taizong for Xuanzong, and I am ready to pay 30,000 taels to renovate the Chongzhi Palace as the residence of the prince; Another 30,000 taels of silver were paid to renovate the Yuzhi Palace next to it as the residence of the princess of Chongqing.

In addition, there are 30,000 taels in the Ten Princes' Mansion, next to the current Yuwang Mansion, to rebuild the Dongwu County Palace, and 30,000 taels to rebuild the Xiwu County Palace, as the temporary residence of the two county kings.

I gave out the money, and the eunuchs Ruan An and Ruan Xi were responsible for the construction, and the Ministry of Works was responsible for assisting. ”

The ministers can also understand that the emperor wants to show his love for the crown prince. Although everyone knows that the emperor has changed, the crown prince must also change.

Since ancient times, no emperor has had a son, but he has passed on the position to his nephew.

And if the current crown prince Zhu Jianshen is really allowed to succeed to the throne, then how should these ministers who support Jingtai deal with themselves?

So will the ministers really oppose the change of the prince because of the difference between the concubines?

Everyone is now receiving the new monarch's money, do they really want to eat Emperor Jingtai's rice and smash Emperor Jingtai's pot?

Zhu Qiyu stood up and was about to go out, while instructing: "I see that there are a lot of birds and birds in the inner court, and there are tigers, lions, leopards and the like, all of which are rare birds and beasts that have paid tribute from all over the world.

But what good is it for the country and the people to keep so many birds and beasts? His Excellency stressed that from now on, no one shall continue to pay tribute, otherwise he will be severely punished. ”

The ministers were a little speechless when they heard this, the emperor's reform was really cut on himself, such an absurd emperor is really rare in ancient times.

Zhu Qiyu didn't care what the ministers thought, got up and went back to the backyard to report the results of the coup to his princess. Then in the next two days, the emperor took the princess and concubine, frequently received the Guo and Wu families, as well as the generals of the Yingzhou Guard, began to arrange specific matters, and completely took over the defense of the inner city of Beijing.

In two days, don't go over, and the military power in Beijing has also been successfully handed over. At this point, the chief officers of the Jinyi Guard and the Five Cities Terracotta Division were all replaced by the emperor's cronies.

Zhu Qiyu finally slept peacefully.

On November 20, the wind was cold and overcast.

Although he woke up early in the morning, Zhu Qiyu just lay in the quilt, pressing the little princess's jade body to do morning class.

It's a pity that just as he was doing it, Twilight Rain hurriedly walked in with an early arrival.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu joked: "Ah, the morning rain didn't come, but the twilight rain came first." What are you doing in such a hurry? Carefully spill the breakfast, if you burn the delicate jade hands of the concubine, wouldn't the widow feel distressed. ”

Twilight Yu hurriedly replied: "Husband, it seems that something big has happened in the imperial court, and the ministers have come early, and when the slaves came out of the kitchen with their meals, they were shouting outside at the top of their voices. ”

"Hmph, God, grandpa, take a look at this rag left by Xuande and orthodoxy, my current emperor can't even play with a woman, and all the interest in the morning has been disturbed."

After complaining, Zhu Qiyu took a bowl of meat porridge from Dui Yu's hand, drank it indiscriminately, and then came to the West Flower Hall neatly dressed.

The ministers had already been in the West Flower Hall for a long time.

Zhu Qiyu leaned on the couch unhurriedly, and stretched out his hand lightly.

Seeing this, Luo Tong hurriedly handed the military report to the emperor.

Zhu Qiyu opened the military newspaper and took a look, good guy, the army of the West Road was ambushed in a valley between Datong City and Hunyuan County. The specific battlefield is called Matou Mountain, and there is a temple in the mountains called Longfeng Temple.

Less than five miles from Longfeng Temple, you can enter the plain, but you are ambushed here. Due to the fact that in the valley, the army could not be deployed, and the numerical advantage of the Ming army could not be brought into play.

The former army led by Sun Bo, Xing'an, and Yang Shan was unable to resist the main force of Warat and suffered a great defeat.

Fortunately, Shi Heng's Chinese army supported it with great strength, and after a bloody battle, it finally repelled the Warat army. The former armies of Sun Bo, Xing'an, and Yang Shan were able to avoid annihilation.

The military report sent by Shi Heng called it the Battle of Longfeng Temple. The Ming army suffered more than 30,000 casualties, and the Warat army lost more than 5,000 people, and the wounded cannot be counted.

Zhu Qiyu was so angry that he threw the military report to the ground, and complained to the public: "What is wrong with this place in Shanxi, why is it so easy for the army to ambush?"

In the battle of Yanghekou, 40,000 people died in one breath; In the battle of Harrier Ridge, the 50,000 men of Chengguo Gong were wiped out in less than half a day. Not to mention the battle of Tumubao, hundreds of thousands of people disappeared at once.

In addition, today's battle of Longfeng Temple is 30,000 people, Shi Heng, Sun Bo, as well as Xing'an and Yang Shan, how did they lead the troops to fight.

Zhongfu, Zhongfu, and Zhongfu, Shanxi is even if it is with Zhongfu.

These leading generals, superintendents, and counselors of military affairs all deserve to die. ”

Luo Tong replied: "We really don't understand what these wars in Shanxi are going on. It's just that the immediate priority is to find a way to remedy it as soon as possible.

Before the battle, you can't do it, Your Majesty should still let Shi Heng and others make meritorious contributions to calm the army's heart. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Let Shi Heng lead the remaining army to camp ten miles south of Datong City, and fight with Wang Zhi, the official of the city, Liu An, the chief soldier of Datong, and Guo Deng, the deputy chief soldier.

I don't expect them to defeat the main force of Warat, you tell them, it is very likely that they will lead the main force north to attack Xuanfu first.

Let Shi Heng take this opportunity to cooperate with Liu An and Guo Deng to rescue the Emperor Taishang. In this way, it can still be used to redeem the merits. ”

After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Qiyu continued: "Fortunately, in three days, the reinforcements we sent should have already marched to Xuanfu.

The army of the middle route and the army of the east route should have also fought with the army left behind in the steppe by Warat.

As long as the Shanxi side supports for two more days, and when the main army solves the remaining army of Warat, and returns to the division to enter Xuanfu, the victory will be certain. ”

Luo Tong asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, what if you also lead the army directly from Yanghekou to the grassland first?" ”

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "It depends on the conscience of Liu An and Guo Deng. If they had provided enough food and grass to Yexian, and helped them return to their teachers smoothly, then they would have survived only here. ”
