At the end of June of the fifth year of Zhengde, the Ningxia Rebellion, which lasted for half a year, was finally extinguished under the command of Governor Yang Yiqing, Zhang Yong, the superintendent of the army, and Shenying, the chief military officer. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When the news of the victory came to Beijing, the people did not have the joy of the previous victory, but their faces were solemn, as if they were not happy for the great victory of the imperial court.

On the contrary, it was the civil and military officials, after receiving the good news from Ningxia, they all looked happy and ran to tell each other.

Although Zhengde was controlled, he was able to go to the court normally, and his performance was normal, and at the great court meeting held in Fengtian Temple, he discussed with Li Dongyang and other important ministers of the country, what kind of specifications were used this time to meet the triumphant division led by Yang Yiqing.

Since Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, Yu Min has recuperated, and there has never been such a large-scale internal battle as the Battle of Ningxia. It is this victory that can be regarded as a great victory for the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years.

Compared with the last battle on the Ningxia frontier led by Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, it made the courtiers rejoice.

After all, the meaning of this victory is very different.

Li Dongyang and other Qingliu civil officials looked at Liu Jin, who was standing on top of the collapse, a little listless, and quite far away from Emperor Zhengde, and they were all a little proud in their hearts, as if Liu Jin's end was not far away.

Because of Liu Jin's inaction, the eunuch party naturally did not have any objections.

Therefore, since the emperor and the emperor, they have unanimously approved the proposal for the grand holding of this celebration ceremony.

First of all, thirty miles west of Beijing, they will celebrate the entire army and set up a three-day flowing water banquet, so that the soldiers who have returned from this success can feel the affirmation of their merits by the imperial court.

Then it was Yang Yiqing, Zhang Yong, and Shenying who led the meritorious soldiers of the war, about 30,000 people, to march into Beijing, and the army was personally inspected by Emperor Zhengde in the outer city, and it was there to commend many meritorious people.

Finally, in the evening of the same day, in the Forbidden City, the emperor personally set up a state banquet, which was attended by all the princes and nobles, civil and military ministers in Beijing.

At this banquet, the emperor wanted to personally award the merits of Yang Yiqing, Zhang Yong, and Shenying, and congratulate them on their success.

The whole process of Zhu Jie is basically like this.

The emperor was only in charge of the general direction, but the subtle parts were handed over to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry and other relevant cabinet departments, and the cabinet discussed and formed a specific copy, and then submitted it to the emperor's imperial review, and finally passed the implementation.

Because there was no Liu Jin's appearance, the eunuch party as a whole died down, and finally this time the imperial court resolution was ten times faster than before, forming a specific copy, and after handing it over to Zhengde Yulan, it was notified to the following division to implement.

The capital, which had been silent for a long time, was operating rapidly because of this great victory. Most of the officials, as well as officials at all levels, were busy around the victory ceremony of the meritorious soldiers of the Ningxia War.

Although Liu Jin and the eunuchs have not made any moves, Li Dongyang is still a little uneasy, and he also asked Yang Tinghe's opinion in private.

Yang Tinghe not only has a straight temperament, but also has a somewhat straightforward temperament. Hearing Li Dongyang's worries, he just didn't want to be embarrassed, and said that Liu Jin already knew that his death was coming, and he had lost his holy family, so he simply gave up on himself.

With Yang Tinghe's words, although Li Dongyang was faintly uneasy, he didn't say anything more.

Now that Ren Bufan is not in the capital, the beggars have all gone to Ningxia, but for a while, the ears and eyes of the Qingliu civil officials are a little inferior, and Li Dongyang can only hope that Liu Jin accepted his fate.

On July 1, when the summer sky was blazing, Yang Yiqing led a 170,000-strong army of victories and slowly drove to thirty miles west of the capital.

A camp has already been set up here, except for the 30,000 people who want to follow Yang Yiqing to Beijing, the rest of the people have settled in this camp and began to enjoy the three-day flowing water banquet given by the emperor himself.

After burning incense and praying and kneeling to receive the holy decree, Yang Yiqing also ordered all departments to settle in the camp in an orderly manner, and after settling down, he led 30,000 meritorious soldiers, together with Gu Dayong, the eunuch of Dongchang, who came to preach the decree, and slowly walked towards the outer city of Jingshi.

Those soldiers who stayed behind were naturally the real army of the original imperial court.

Some of these soldiers were soldiers who followed Liu Jin and entered Ningxia to fight viciously, and some were soldiers who were transferred from all over the country after Yang Yiqing became the governor.

It's just that whether it is the soldiers who fought viciously before or the soldiers who came later, after Yang Yiqing took office, even if there was no large-scale battle.

Except for a large-scale dispatch by the Yellow River, these soldiers have actually been stationed on the banks of the Yellow River for a month or two, and they are a little more idle than when they are on duty in rotation.

Now in a daze, they won the "great victory", and were given a three-day flowing water banquet by the emperor, these soldiers cheered the emperor's grace on the one hand, and praised the wisdom of Governor Yang on the other, and finally in the wine and meat, satisfied, within a few days, are unable to come back to their senses.

In addition, the 30,000 meritorious soldiers who followed Yang Yiqing to the outer city, a considerable number of them were naturally disguised by the Ningxia rebel army, and Zilong and many of his friends were mixed in.

It's just that Zilong's appearance is too similar to the emperor, so Wan'er took it upon herself to transform him into a bearded commander, riding a bantam horse, and showing off his might in the team.

At the forefront of the team were none other than Governor Yang Yiqing, Supervisor Zhang Yong, Chief Soldier Shenying, and Governor of Dongchang Eunuch Gu Dayong. This Gu Dayong is the fattest of the eight tigers, but he is also the one who is the best at hiding a knife in his laughter.

At this time, he was smiling, sweating like rain on a tall horse, constantly talking with Zhang Yong and Shenying. Although Shenying was Liu Jin's person, he always thought that he was not exposed, so he deliberately disdained Gu Dayong to communicate.

Although Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong are both one of the Eight Tigers, they have always been indispensable. At this time, Zhang Yong had completely embarked on the road of breaking with Liu Jin because of Qian Ning's incident, but it had not been made public.

Therefore, he was unusually at this time, and he chatted with Gu Dayong without a match.

Gu Da was articulate, but the style of conversation was very tight, and the two of them talked for a long time, not salty or light, they were all about old sesame seeds and rotten grain, but there was nothing useful.

When the magnificent capital was vividly visible, many soldiers who saw the capital for the first time were shocked by the magnificent capital, and when they stood still on the ground, Gu Dayong suddenly said to Zhang Yong with compassion: "Gonggong Zhang, when you come back this time, don't you go to see Liu Gong first?"

Among the eight tigers, Liu Jin is the leader. Whether it is Zhang Yong or Gu Dayong, or Qiu Ju or Ma Yongcheng, even if it is the oldest person like Gao Feng, as long as he goes out of Beijing on an errand, the first thing he has to do when he comes back is actually to meet Liu Jin and report the specific situation to him, which has always been the case.

It's just that now Liu Jin's power is a little declining, and even the original Dongchang Governor and Eunuch Ma Yongcheng has been sent to prison and is under interrogation.

Therefore, among the Eight Tigers, there are already some people who do not report to Liu Jin in everything like before, but among them, Gu Dayong is by no means included.

At this time, Gu Dayong's voice was also very light, and only Zhang Yong was alone, vaguely heard. At that moment, Zhang Yong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, the expression on his face froze for a moment, and he glanced at Gu Dayong without a trace, and found that his fat face was full of smiles as always.

Looking at Gu Da's smile with that smiling flesh, Zhang Yong felt a little bad for no reason.

Gu Dayong used to be the commander of the West Factory, and now he has returned to the East Factory, and the news is not widespread.

Therefore, to say that Gu Dayong didn't know that when he was in the Yellow River camp, he had deliberately not seen Liu Jin and offended Liu Jin, but I am afraid that it is also false.

Since he has already offended Liu Jin, it is obvious that he will not go to see him when he comes back. But why did Gu Dayong suddenly speak up at this time and ask himself if he would go to see Liu Jin?

Zhang Yong's mind was racing, and he thought about many possibilities, but he didn't understand what this exquisite Gu Dayong meant. Immediately, he saw Zilong in the crowd again, and nodded to his side.

All of a sudden, Zhang Yonghui came to his senses, pondered, and finally said: "Liu Gong is the elder among us, and has been leading us, this time I will return to Beijing, as soon as I have time, I will go to see him!"

Gu Dayong listened to Zhang Yong's words, and the fat shook again, then grinned, smiled weirdly, arched his hand, and said: "In this case, our family is going back to the palace to hand over to Your Majesty, Gonggong Zhang, you and Governor Yang and Chief Soldier of God will go over there and wait for Your Majesty and all the princes and ministers!"

While speaking, Gu Dayong pointed to a corner of the outer city, and from a distance, he saw a large-scale school field, but it was there. In the middle of the school field, there is a high platform about ten zhang high, which is obviously the high platform used by Emperor Zhengde and the princes and ministers to inspect the victorious division at that time.

After talking to Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong pretended to say goodbye to Yang Yiqing again, and then ignored the Shenying, and directly rode his horse to lead the fans of Dongchang towards the splendid Forbidden City.

When Gu Dayong was far away and gradually disappeared into the bustling flow of people in the outer city, Yang Yiqing waved his hand and ordered the whole army to march towards the school field.

On the way, Yang Yiqing found an opportunity, broke away from Shenying, and then transferred Zilong and the others to his side, and was about to ask questions, but Ma Fengyue on the side took the lead in asking Zhang Yong: "Zhang Gong, why don't you just refuse Gu Dayong?" Now that Liu Jin has lost power, is it necessary to go to see him?"

On the way back to Beijing, Yang Tinghe had already sent someone to roughly tell the high-ranking members of the army about the movements in the capital in recent days.

Therefore, not only Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong, but also Zilong and Zilong, as well as many generals of the Ningxia Righteous Army, all knew that in the capital, Liu Jin was already a closed guest, and the eunuchs were also in a panic, drilling camps all day long, as if they knew that Liu Jin's limit was approaching.
