From Datong back to Beijing, you can choose to take the route of Xuanfu, Huailai, Tumubao and Juyongguan.

You can also choose to go to Ulzhou and Bauhinia Pass.

When Zhu Qizhen sent troops to march in person, he led the army to Datong, and then he retreated.

At the time of the withdrawal of the army, in the face of the choice of these two routes, Zhu Qizhen first chose the correct road and returned to Beijing by Ulzhou and Juyongguan.

But later generations insisted that it was Wang Zhen who showed off in order to return to his hometown in Ulzhou.

This is really wronged Wang Zhen, and when he returns to Beijing through Bauhinia Pass, he must pass through Wang Zhen's hometown.

Without passing through Ulzhou, could it be that the army flew directly from Datong to Bauhinia Pass?

In the end, I don't know what the reason is, Zhu Qizhen turned back from Ulzhou and went to Xuanfu. Then open from Xuanfu to Tumu Fort.

Forget it, the shocking Ming God of War actually gave 30,000 main cavalry to Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, to go to Harrier Ridge to block Wara, and finally encountered an ambush again, and the whole army was destroyed.

The battle of Harrier Ridge also indirectly led to the capture of Zhu Qizhen later.

Otherwise, Cheng Guogong led 30,000 cavalry to protect Zhu Qizhen, and he would be able to escape to Juyong Pass.

As long as you enter the Juyong Pass, you will be safe.

One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred.

Now that Zhu Qizhen has set off from Datong again, facing two routes, he doesn't want to go to Xuanfu and Juyong Pass.

It's a pity that the throne is now in the hands of Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu treated Zhu Qizhen with courtesy on the surface, but in places that others are not easy to detect, he can still easily make some decisions.

Zhu Qiyu sent Ma Liang, Yuan Bin, and Ha Ming to lead 5,000 brocade guards to welcome the emperor, and at this time Ma Liang and others happened to go to the Xuanfu and sent someone to report to the emperor.

This is the advantage of mastering the name of righteousness. The emperor has clearly sent Jinyi Wei to the Xuanfu to greet him, who dares to raise the bar to death, and insists on going to Bauhinia Pass.

was about to return to Beijing to face Jiangdong's father, Zhu Qizhen was in a state of panic at this time, and he had no confidence to raise objections.

So Zhu Qizhen was forced to revisit his hometown and come to the battlefield of Tumubao again.

Zhu Qizhen was extremely impressed by Tumubao, and when he returned to his hometown, scenes of the past reappeared in his mind, which made Zhu Qizhen's mood even lower.

It was the first time for Chen Xun, Yu Qian and others to visit the battlefield of Tumubao in person, and there was still a big difference between the description they heard in the military newspaper and the scene they saw with their own eyes.

Everyone had gloomy faces and did not speak.

It wasn't until it passed through Juyong Pass that the oppressive atmosphere eased slightly.

On the afternoon of March 30, Zhu Qizhen and his entourage finally saw the capital from afar.

After Chen Xun made a statement to Zhu Qizhen, he arranged for the team to camp ten miles away from Beijing, preparing to accept the emperor and hundreds of officials early tomorrow morning. Then send a sergeant to deliver the news to the emperor.

……

After dinner, Zhu Qiyu received the news.

Not only is Zhu Qizhen nervous as an elder brother, but Zhu Qiyu is also nervous as a younger brother.

Zhu Qiyu ordered the concubines to take out the prince's clothes and try it again.

After confirming that it was decent, Zhu Qiyu asked the favorite concubine: "After welcoming the Emperor into the Forbidden City tomorrow, I still need to set up a banquet in the palace to wash the dust for the emperor."

At that time, the queen mother and the two queens will come forward.

We also have to have female dependents on our side, except for the mother concubine, who will participate? ”

At this time, there are still eleven favorite concubines with big bellies, and they definitely can't participate.

As soon as Lin Xiangyu was about to speak, Zhu Qiyu waved his hand firmly: "Feng'er's confinement hasn't finished yet, so don't go out to blow the cool breeze." ”

In this way, there are only three favorite concubines left: Ning Xiang, Qianxue, and Su Xi.

Ning Xiang hid in Zhu Qiyu's arms first, and said with a smile: "The slave family is the husband's full-time sex slave, but regardless of the things outside, this is what the husband has promised a long time ago." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded dotingly, and then looked at Qianxue and Suxi: "Which of the two of you will go with me?" ”

Qianxue had no choice but to spread her hands helplessly: "Why does things look a little wrong, why are we always the two who are injured?" ”

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly patted his ass: "Those who can work harder, those who can work harder, and please let the princess suffer more." ”

Qianxue had no choice but to reply like a broken jar: "Then let's go with our husbands, one left and one right, so that the emperor, the queen mother and the concubines of the harem can recognize it." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction.

After discussing these things, Zhu Qiyu went out again and repeated the confirmation of tomorrow's guards.

Tomorrow is of great significance to the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion, and the eldest princess of Yongjia and the Marquis of Wuding will definitely go to participate in the drive.

Zhu Qiyu was in line with the attitude of carefully sailing the ship for ten thousand years, leaving Xu Xian, Zhao Xuan, and Liu Chang to lead 20,000 battalions of state guards to watch the house.

has his own wife and young son here, and there is absolutely no room for mistakes.

The entire Qi Palace's palace was under full martial law, Xu Xian, Zhao Xuan, and Liu Chang all had the right to cut first and then play, and some people dared to trespass and execute on the spot.

Zhu Qiyu didn't want to overturn on the ground like Zhu Qizhen, so this time he was careful to get home. not only mobilized all his three personal guards, but even recalled the 20,000 Shenji Battalion, 30,000 Xiao Cavalry Battalion of Xuanfu, as well as Xu Heng and Tao Jin, to the Beijing Division.

The Celestial Guard was responsible for the defense of the city. The Shenji Battalion and the Xiaocai Battalion are responsible for the defense outside the Xizhi Gate.

There were 20,000 battalions of state guards guarding Zhu Qiyu's family throughout the process.

So it looks foolproof.

As for the 15,000 brocade guards who went to meet him, he was only responsible for guarding the Emperor Taishang, as well as Boyan Timur and the envoys he led.

The brocade guards in the city are still the old rules, and they don't need it at all.

According to the historical experience controlled by Zhu Qiyu, putting the safety of life in the hands of Jinyiwei is no different from looking for death.

Jiajing, who is also the successor of the vassal king, has perfectly verified this point by defying the law.

With Jiajing's experience, Zhu Qiyu no longer has to compete to raise the bar, and he doesn't have to take detours.

After repeatedly confirming the entire process of tomorrow's pick-up, Zhu Qiyu went back to his room to sleep.

On the first day of the first month of April, it was only the fifth watch, Zhu Qiyu got up, and after freshening up with Qianxue and Suxi, he got into the chariot and set off for Xizhimen under the guard of the personal guard.

At this time, Zhu Qizhen had not yet officially taken the throne, and he was still Emperor Taishang. Zhu Qiyu, the current emperor, is still Zhu Qizhen's courtier in terms of etiquette.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu must rush to Xizhi Gate early and respectfully wait for the emperor's car.

Zhu Qiyu has no opinion on this, an excellent politician must learn to perform.

Today's ceremony will be watched by hundreds of thousands of people in the capital. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the image of good brothers, friends and brothers.

According to the historical Jingtai greeting process, it was quite simple, and the reluctance to welcome back the emperor was directly written on his face.

And Zhu Qiyu did the opposite this time, not only the etiquette was extremely grand, but also fully liberalized, allowing the people of the capital to watch.

Not only were the people allowed to watch from the outside of the city, but they were also allowed to go out from the walls.

Zhu Qiyu is going to hold a public Zen ceremony, and let the people of the world comment on the merits and demerits.

The common people may have commented that the emperor was too mean because of the emperor's sinful edict and Zen concession. It may also be because the emperor is forced to take responsibility, and praise the emperor for his toughness.

Both are possible, before the incident really happened, Zhu Qiyu himself could not predict where public opinion would go.
