Beijing in June has begun to feel like summer. Although the sun is not as blazing, it is still getting hotter. Just after the incident of Wu Zhuangyuan in the capital, the streets and alleys began to talk about Yunnan's counterinsurgency.

No one in the capital city cares about the rebellion in Yunnan. It is normal for the barbarians in the frontier areas where they come. It would be strange not to rebel. These cannot become the focus of people. People focus on one person.

That was Sun Chuanting, the biggest contributor to the suppression of the rebellion.

Although the Meridian Gate Festival was celebrated, people already knew about the war situation in Yunnan, and this young commander immediately became the object of admiration by countless people. Some even thought that he was the younger version of Sun Chengzong, the cabinet scholar, and he was unparalleled in the limelight for a time.

There was a lot of noise outside, but it was unusually quiet inside the palace. Emperor Tianqi was currently receiving Sun Chuanting, who had just returned to the capital. More than half a year had passed, and Sun Chuanting had changed a lot. He lost some elegance, but he carried a certain

He looks more like a Confucian and a handsome man, with the demeanor of a general.

"Sun Aiqing, thank you for your hard work this time! Things in the southwest border have stabilized, and I feel a lot better. I have issued an imperial edict to add you as the Left Governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion, and the personal soldier of the Twelve Guards.

I have no intention of moving at the moment. After a month's rest, you will be busy cleaning up the three major camps in the capital." Emperor Tianqi looked at Sun Chuanting with a smile, a friendly smile on his face.

"This victory is all due to the emperor's great blessings and the soldiers who sacrificed their lives. I really can't deserve your majesty's high praise for my contribution." No matter what you think in your heart, you must say such kind words.

.

Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "I know all about your merits. I will serve the country well and be loyal to my country. I will not treat the meritorious officials badly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Sun Chuanting bowed respectfully to Emperor Tianqi. He didn't say anything. One polite word was enough, and speaking more would make it seem like he had ulterior motives.

"I have been away from home for such a long time. Let's go back and have a good rest! The rewards for the soldiers and the pension for the fallen soldiers have been drafted by the cabinet. Don't worry, my dear. What I need to think carefully about is the affairs of the Beijing camp. I need it.

It’s a Beijing camp worthy of a battle. It’s not an embroidered pillow.” I didn’t bring along the twelve pro-soldiers, but that’s because most of these pro-soldiers have been reduced to the appearance of the imperial court, just like the guard of honor in later generations, and Emperor Tianqi didn’t count on them.

Go to war.

The three major battalions are different. From the beginning of Chengzu, the three major battalions have always been the Ming army's elite army. This was the foundation left by Ming Chengzu when he drove the Mongols to the north. Later, in the Tumubao Incident, all the elites of the three major battalions were lost.

It's only now that we are in this situation. Emperor Tianqi has always wanted to restore the glory of the three major camps. The people in front of him can do it.

"Yes, Your Majesty! I must be so cruel as to repay the divine favor!" A scholar dies for a confidant. Emperor Tianqi treated himself as a scholar of the country, so Sun Chuanting naturally wanted to repay him as a scholar of the country. This is the integrity of a scholar, and it is also the duty of a minister.

Smiling and nodding, Emperor Tianqi said happily: "I naturally trust Aiqing. Both you and Mr. Sun have the surname Sun. Maybe they are from the same clan. You must learn from Mr. Sun well, that is your goal!

"

Everyone knows the status of Sun Chengzong. The teacher of two generations of emperors and the first assistant bachelor of the cabinet is already the pinnacle of civil servants. The most difficult thing is that he is deeply trusted by Emperor Tianqi and serves as the governor of Jiliao. He is also responsible for both civil and military affairs.

Emperor Tianqi, the first person in the Ming Dynasty, said this, obviously thinking that he could become the second Sun Chengzong.

"I must devote myself to death! It is my blessing to meet such a wise master as Your Majesty in this life. I must be driven by Your Majesty at this time, and I will go through fire and water without any hesitation!" This time Sun Chuanting raised his eyebrows.

He knelt down in his clothes, looking a little excited and speaking with a trembling voice.

He helped Sun Chuanting up. Emperor Tianqi patted him on the shoulder and said: "I have high hopes for you, please don't let me down!"

"Yes, please remember this!" Feeling the warmth on his shoulders, Sun Chuanting's heart suddenly warmed up. With Emperor Tianqi's words, even if he died in battle one day, he would still be able to smile.

After Sun Chuanting exited, Emperor Tianqi sat back on his dragon chair, tapping the dragon desk gently, as if thinking about something. Looking back at Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi ordered: "Go and give the Wei Dynasty to me.

Here we are, Luo Sigong, the Commander of the Imperial Guards!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen bowed and saluted, and ran out quickly.

Without waiting long, Wei Chao and Luo Sigong both came. Both of them were walking in a hurry, with beads of sweat on their faces. Every time Emperor Tianqi came to them at the same time, there must be something big, but they didn't dare at all.

hold up.

"Luo Sigong, commander of the Royal Guards, has met your Majesty! Long live my emperor!"

"Slave Wei Chao, please see the Emperor!"

After the two people entered the main hall, they all knelt down and saluted, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

"Get up and talk!" Emperor Tianqi waved his hands expressionlessly and said in a calm voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After the two people stood up, they all stood aside with lowered eyebrows, waiting for Emperor Tianqi to lecture.

His eyes swept over the two people. Emperor Tianqi took a sip of tea, then turned his eyes to Wang Chengen aside and winked at him.

Wang Chengen naturally understood and drove everyone out of the hall, then turned back and stood in the hall.

"I'm looking for you two today. I have something to tell you, and you should keep it all in mind. If the news leaks out, I don't need to say anything about the consequences!" Emperor Tianqi's voice was very serious, and his eyes were full of scrutiny.

Wei Chao and Luo Sigong suddenly felt shocked. Normally, no one dared to spread what Emperor Tianqi said. In this palace, because the eunuch who was killed with a rod was not even a hundred but eighty, Emperor Tianqi was so cautious today.

Speaking of which, the matter is naturally extremely serious.

The two people quickly bowed and saluted, and said in a serious tone: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will keep this in mind!"

Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi continued: "I am ready to go out for a walk!"

As soon as Emperor Tianqi's words came out, the three people in the hall were all stunned. What was going on? Without even thinking about it, the three people lifted their clothes and fell to their knees. Wang Chengen said with a tearful voice: "The emperor is the master of the country, the world.

Your Majesty’s safety depends entirely on Your Majesty. If Your Majesty makes any mistake, I will surely die!”

Frowning at the other two people who were about to speak, Emperor Tianqi slapped the table and said loudly: "Get up, everyone. I have made up my mind. Stop talking!"

Several people looked at each other and all stood up slowly. They were not civil servants and could not do the trick of admonishing. Since Emperor Tianqi said this, they could not say anything.

"I'm keeping a close eye on things in the capital. You can make up your own mind if anything happens, and report important matters to me. There will be a survey in Dongchang, and Chen Lin will accompany me this time. The eunuchs stationed in various places must be omnipotent.

Temperance. Two people from Jinyiwei can mobilize Jinyiwei's yamen in various places. As for who they are, Luo Aiqing, you can arrange it yourself!" Emperor Tianqi also ignored their expressions. He must go out for a walk, and this will not change.

.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Luo Sigong felt better, but Wei Chao's heart was in turmoil. The guarding eunuchs in various places might be in trouble this time. Those eunuchs did too many dirty things behind their backs, and they usually had to cover it up. If

If the emperor found out, he might be dead.

Seeing the behavior of the Wei Dynasty, Emperor Tianqi felt like a mirror in his heart. Jinyiwei only accepted some bad rules and regulations in the local area. In the Ming Dynasty, it was already semi-public, so this was nothing. But the guarding eunuchs sent to various places by Dongchang were different. Most of them were

It was all about salt tax and mining tax. All the money was Emperor Tianqi's money. If the matter was exposed, the Wei Dynasty would naturally not reap the benefits.

"I've told the ugly news up front. I only told you two about this news. Don't let any news leak out after I go back. If anyone leaks the news, you will be beheaded!" Emperor Tianqi repeated again.

Once again, if the news is leaked in advance, it will really become a policy from above and countermeasures from below.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wei Chao had always wanted to ventilate the people below him, but now he didn't dare.

After waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Everyone will make arrangements!"

After the two people left, Emperor Tianqi turned around and said to Wang Chengen: "Go and find Liu Yijing, Zhou Jiamo and Xu Guangqi for me!" After the factory guard finished speaking, the cabinet also wanted to say hello.

Convincing these three people was much more difficult than the two people from the Wei Dynasty. Emperor Tianqi spent a lot of words to convince them. After repeated orders and repeated orders, the news could not be released. Naturally, these few people knew how powerful it was, and they all agreed with serious expressions.

When everything was ready, Emperor Tianqi began to worry about the harem again. It was easy for Empress Zhang to explain it, but not for the Empress Dowager.

In the end, there was no other way. Emperor Tianqi invited a priest into the palace and ordered him to pray for the Ming Dynasty. He stayed in seclusion for 108 days, and all political affairs were sent to the palace. The morning court was cancelled. He also asked the Chief of Ceremonies to print the eunuchs.

Wang An gave the old eunuch the decision-making power to approve the red ban, and then Emperor Tianqi was ready.

Although preparations are made here, preparations need to be made outside. Emperor Tianqi needs to bring guards for this trip. Two hundred elites were selected from the Tengchong Four Guards. These are Emperor Tianqi's personal guards, and he also brought a hundred Jinyi Guards.

By the time everything was ready, it was already three days later.

Emperor Tianqi naturally had to have a reasonable identity when traveling. Fortunately, he already had the name of Longchang Company. Emperor Tianqi went out in the name of the young owner of Longchang Company. It was naturally much more convenient to do things. Everything was ready and he could finally set off! (
