Chapter 260 I will take the lead in the charge
This was a sudden assassination, but Zhu Yijun quickly put on his iron armor and led the Tiqimen out of the dormitory.
Zhu Yijun has a clear understanding of the entire layout of Yicheng Bofu.
The mountain forest of Yicheng Bofu is backed by the remaining mountains of the Western Mountains. It is divided into two directions: east and west. The terrain in the east is lower, in the depression of the mountain, and the terrain in the west is higher, halfway up the mountain.
Because of the good lighting, Zhang Juzheng gave up Langxuan Pavilion halfway up the mountain to Zhu Yijun, while he went to the other side, which was divided by a small river and mountain road.
Zhu Yijun quickly judged the direction of the enemy's attack. Coming from the mountains and forests, he immediately judged that Zhang Juzheng was not going to kill him, because when these enemies attacked, the main direction was Zhang Juzheng's place. In the mountain depression where he lives, there are almost no attacks on Zhu Yijun.
There was a mess outside the house. Zhu Yijun looked around, put on his visor, and led Tiqi straight to the direction where Zhang Juzheng lived. In a very short period of time, Zhu Yijun judged that this time The assassination target was not the emperor, but Zhang Juzheng!
On the mountain road, a group of bandits going up the mountain met the Tiqi led by the Ming Emperor, and the fight began.
At this distance, it was too late to set up a bow and shoot an arrow. The length of the hook, sickle, and spear could not be used in the narrow mountain road. The Tiqimen drew out their Qi family sabers and began to respond to the enemy. Zhu Yijun's mind went blank, and he rushed over with his men. .
Zhu Yijun experienced the war for the first time, and he was in an extremely excited state. The person commanding him was Tishuai Zhao Mengyou, but Zhu Yijun completely ignored his identity on the battlefield and obeyed Yaqi. The dispatches, the sound of horns, the advance and retreat, and the constant change of battle.
Zhu Yijun finally understood what Qi Jiguang said. In a large corps battle, individual bravery has almost zero influence on the direction of the battle. The coach's lead, in most cases, plays a role in boosting morale.
He also understood for the first time why the Ming soldiers still had to be equipped with short-range weapons such as firecrackers and long-range weapons such as hooks and sickles, because in this kind of In a fighting environment, where close combat is the main focus, the waist knife is the only weapon that is effective in killing the enemy.
As the commander, Zhao Mengyou wanted to withdraw the emperor's ten-man team several times, but the changes in the battle line made it impossible for him to make such a decision. The enemy was well prepared and attacked quickly. And quickly, the ten-man team headed by the emperor was a sharp blade that cut through butter.
As a minister, he wanted to bring down the emperor's ten-man team, but as a commander, he couldn't do it.
The almost roaring cry of killing, the sound of metal clashing, the painful wail, and the whistle of rising arrows, this is a battlefield filled with the smell of rust.
There are about 600 Tiqi guarding the emperor, and the tyrannical fighting power of these 600 Tiqi, wearing iron armor, is fully demonstrated at this moment.
Zhu Yijun led six hundred cavalry, like a team of horses, into the battle formation under the starlight. Just like ice and snow meeting hot and red iron, the enemy was melting rapidly. With the addition of Tiqi, the battle situation has become completely one-sided.
Attack! attack! attack!
Using the skills he has learned and the weapons in his hands to completely kill the enemy is the only thought in Zhu Yijun's heart. He can't think too much. The rushing blood is flowing in his veins, and his eyes are There are only enemies here.
Zhu Yijun kicked away the enemy in front of him. Luo Sigong came out from the left and slashed the opponent's neck with a knife. Zhao Zhenyuan's arrow immediately hit an enemy who was planning to slash Luo Sigong. Zhu Yijun drew With a large waist knife and a vertical chop, this man's life was taken away.
There is no mercy, let alone respect for life. War is generally so ruthless, and those who experience war are all part of this machine.
The entire battle lasted for nearly three hours. At the end of the battle, Zhu Yijun was completely exhausted, and his chest and lungs were like broken bellows. He was huffing and puffing, breathing in the morning blood mixed with blood. The smelly air made Zhu Yijun extremely tired as his whole body ached as if it was falling apart. The sense of separation that his body did not belong to him made him extremely tired.
He sat on a big bluestone to rest. Next to him were Luo Sigong and Zhao Zhenyuan, who had fought with him all night. The two people were in worse condition than Zhu Yijun. They were both lying on the ground. If the emperor hadn't been there, In front of me, I am afraid that I have fallen asleep long ago.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is here." Zhao Zhenyuan said weakly.
The person responsible for cleaning the battlefield was Qi Jiguang. The capital camp of the Ming Dynasty began to be mobilized when the emperor went to Yicheng Bofu. Qi Jiguang personally led an infantry camp to camp at the foot of the mountain. After the war, Qi Jiguang immediately began to lead the infantry camp. Rushing for reinforcements, this assassination encounter happened suddenly, but the main theme was the pursuit. With the support of Tiqi and Jingying, the pursuit continued all night.
Zhang Juzheng does not know martial arts, but is poor in literature and rich in martial arts. Although he comes from a military family, his family background prevents him from practicing martial arts, so at the beginning of the assassination, he was protected by You Qi.
Zhang Juzheng saw the morning sun, and also saw the emperor under the morning sun and morning glow. He sat very tiredly on the big bluestone. The golden glow illuminated the armor, and the emperor was shrouded in gorgeous light and shadow.
Zhang Juzheng noticed that the emperor's armor was all covered with blood, and even scabs had formed in some places. The exquisite textures of the twelve chapters were all blood red, which looked particularly coquettish.
A complex emotion filled Zhang Juzheng's heart. He even began to doubt whether he was right to become an official. His Majesty should not have to bear this at his age. Those blood, those fights, and those conspiracies should have been It was he, the Tutor, who shielded him from the wind and rain, but in order for him to return to his original position, he chose to let the young Majesty take the responsibility.
"Sir, are you here?" Zhu Yijun showed a bright smile, just like when he first met Zhang Juzheng. He said with a smile: "I! The best player in the world in the youth group!"
"How can your Majesty personally go into battle? A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Although Your Majesty has martial arts at your side, how can you be so careless and personally go into battle? The sword has no eyesight. What if something happens? What should the Queen Mother do? What should Ming Dynasty do? Minister..." Zhang Juzheng looked extremely anxious. He became anxious when he heard that the emperor was personally going into battle, and he started nagging at this meeting.
It’s nagging!
Buzzing buzzing, the smile on Zhu Yijun's face froze, then turned into an incredible smile, and then turned into a smile again.
If Zhu Yijun hadn't been exhausted from the battle, he would have laughed out loud. There was a familiar smell of nagging, nagging, caring about everything, and having to talk about everything. On weekdays, Zhu Yijun did Zhang Juzheng always chattered and vented about all the deviant things.
"Your Majesty, what I said involves important matters of the ancestral temple and the country. As a monarch, you should not let yourself..." As soon as Zhang Juzheng saw Zhu Yijun's smile, he knew that the child did not take his words to heart at all. Get angry!
"Sir, I forgot to greet you." Zhu Yijun interrupted Zhang Juzheng tiredly.
"This gentleman...ah, I pay homage to your majesty, long live your majesty, no matter what..." Zhang Juzheng took the time to greet him and said, but was interrupted again. Fortunately, this is the emperor, otherwise Zhang Juzheng would really When it came to getting started, it was basic courtesy to let someone finish what he was saying, but the emperor interrupted him again and again.
"Sir, I am very tired." Zhu Yijun said that he was really tired. Wearing iron mixed armor to kill people had exhausted all his physical strength. Zhu Yijun already had the feeling of being out of his body. It's like your body doesn't belong to you at all, a very magical experience.
It was his subconscious decision to lead Tiqi into the attack. It was useless for Zhang Juzheng to nag him, it just happened.
"Your Majesty, please go back to the palace to rest for now. I will leave the rest to Qi Shuai!" Zhang Hong rushed out with four small yellow gates and carried the emperor onto the sedan chair. Hong led the eunuchs, who were actually not far behind His Majesty.
After all, he was still only fifteen years old. Even though he was the best player in the world in the youth group, he was still exhausted after a long battle, and he slept very peacefully.
When he woke up again, it was already the next morning. When he woke up, Zhu Yijun was even a little dazed, thinking that the assassination was just a dream, but when he saw Zhang Hong and Tiqi quietly in the room, After feeling the tearing pain all over his body, he knew that an exhausting battle had indeed happened the night before yesterday.
After eating a bowl of Shanxi millet porridge, two large white steamed buns and a light cake, Zhu Yijun finally felt that he was alive.
"Your Majesty, could it be the Taifu?" Zhang Hong's voice was very low, filled with fear and uneasiness. These are words that only sycophants and eunuchs would say, harsh words to alienate the monarch and his ministers.
Feng Bao said with great concern: "Your Majesty, I think so too."
"It is normal to have doubts. Even I had some doubts before I met Mr. , but as soon as he saw me yesterday, he started nagging me. I was almost exhausted at that time. My husband kept nagging me about gentlemen, which made my head hurt and I was so annoyed." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, " No sir, sir, he really wants to kill us, we are dead now.”
“You can doubt your loyalty, but you should not doubt your ability. You can kill whoever you really want to kill. Even we are no exception."
"What did you do?"
"Ti Shuai put the Taifu under house arrest and did not let him see anyone, waiting for His Majesty to sleep. Decide when you wake up." Feng Bao answered this slightly difficult question. After Zhang Juzheng's interview, he was placed under house arrest by Zhao Mengyou.
"What a nonsense! Invite Mr. to dinner and remove the chili sauce." Upon hearing this, Zhu Yijun slapped his forehead and removed the chili sauce from the big white steamed buns.
This is not Zhao Mengyou's fault. The assassination happened in Yicheng Bo's Mansion. As the owner of Yicheng Bo's Mansion, Zhang Juzheng was the first suspect. Zhao Mengyou detained the man because it was his duty as Tishuai.
Zhu Yijun called Zhang Juzheng over for dinner and specially removed the hot sauce. This was for Zhang Juzheng's health.
After Zhang Juzheng’s visit, he had some stomach problems, but he still had to eat his food first. Tishuai Zhao Mengyou didn’t even give Zhang Juzheng a mouthful of food or water. Zhang Juzheng had been worried about whether the emperor was injured and was not in the mood to eat. , until I saw that His Majesty was in great spirits, and my heart just fell back into my stomach.
"I feel relieved to see that your husband is fine." Zhu Yijun waited until Zhang Juzheng finished his breakfast before he said.
"Your Majesty, I am determined not to be on the front lines of the army in the future. The swords and swords in this battle formation have no eyes. Your Majesty, with the body of an emperor, how can you abandon the country and the country and ignore it?" Zhang Juzheng shook his sleeves and saluted. Advise.
He could finally understand why Xia Yuanji opposed Zhu Di's personal expedition to the Northern Expedition. Zhu Di could only boost morale. The key is that Zhu Di's military life was to charge into battle.
"I know, I know, sir, please get up quickly." Zhu Yijun had a headache as soon as he heard the nagging, so he agreed very perfunctorily.
“This assassination was launched in an extremely hasty manner after careful preparation. After careful preparation, the number of people killed in the attack at midnight the night before yesterday was at least 700. These bandits had swords, guns, swords and halberds, as well as armor, Bows and arrows, and even fire blunderbuss, such a large number of desperadoes came to Gyeonggi, and there were such armaments, which were obviously carefully prepared for a long time."
"But there are also obvious signs of hasty launch, and there is no sign between the teams. There was no coordination, so I thought that the assassination was a temporary act. When I saw that I was staying at the Yicheng residence, I immediately launched the assassination." Zhu Yijun first explained his analysis clearly.
The hasty launch after careful preparation was all due to the arrival of the emperor.
There are so many people, so many armaments, and even firearms. This cannot be prepared in a short time, otherwise it will never be able to hide from the eyes and ears of the Ming court. However, the process of the battle also shows that the other party's actions are impromptu, and everything is because The emperor has arrived.
"Your Majesty has become wise and wise." Zhang Juzheng also agreed with the emperor's analysis.
The target of this attack was very clear from beginning to end. It was Zhang Juzheng, and the main direction of the attack was also in the eastern mountain depression. Zhu Yijun said very clearly: "The reason why they chose to launch a hasty launch is for three purposes: upper, middle and lower. The best result is to kill Mr. and me too. In this way, King Lu will ascend the throne. Zhu Shaoguo is suspicious; the second is to kill the husband, but they failed to break through Tiqi's defense. Killing the husband will eliminate their serious problem."
"The worst. As a result, my husband is fine, and I am fine, but the assassination happened in Yicheng Bofu. I will definitely doubt your husband, and your husband may also doubt me. If there is a gap between the monarch and his ministers, they will become more and more alienated in the process of instigation. In the end, It’s impossible for the gentleman to return to the court.”
“By all accounts, I might not have expected that I led the Tiqi to attack, but in the end they failed to achieve any goal.”
Who would have thought that the emperor would lead the charge?
The Yicheng Earl's Mansion is guarded by five hundred Tielin troops. The Tielin army is the garrison given to Wu Xun by the emperor. It is dispatched by the court. According to the system, there are only fifty people in the Earl's Mansion, but Zhang Juzheng's situation is special. , Zhu Yijun was worried about Zhang Juzheng's safety, and Tejiaen reached five hundred.
If Zhu Yijun does not lead the Tiqi to attack, and the Tiqi has the duty to protect His Majesty, then it is hard to say who will win between the 500 Tielin troops and the 700 bandits. Since they dare to kill the emperor, they are all desperadoes. They have long been dead soldiers, and their combat power can be imagined.
But the emperor Zhu Yijun was an emperor who practiced martial arts. He personally led the troops, and the cavalry moved with the emperor's movements, which ultimately changed the situation of the war.
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng has no intention of defending himself. Even if the emperor really doubts him, he has nothing to do. He is not the president of the Ming Dynasty, a Taifu, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, or Zhang Juzheng, the official minister. Zhang Juzheng, the uncle of Yicheng, had no ability to resist the emperor.
After losing power, he was like a phoenix falling into the water but not as good as a chicken. Zhang Juzheng also expected today's situation, but he still gave up power.
“I finally know that the monarch and his ministers cannot be too close. It is already a big deal for the monarch to have meals in his ministers’ mansion. This will happen when the monarch stays at his ministers’ mansion. Regardless of whether the assassination is successful. Whether or not, as long as the assassination occurs, there must be a rift between the emperor and his ministers, and the existence of a chain of suspicion will lead to discord between the emperor and his ministers," Zhu Yijun said sincerely.
The person who launched the assassination was definitely not confused. Even if he failed to succeed, his goal was achieved.
The chain of suspicion between the emperor and his ministers means that once there is discord between the emperor and his ministers, the emperor will definitely doubt the ministers and must kill them in the end. Otherwise, the ministers will doubt the emperor and will inevitably rebel. This is an unsolvable suspicion. The chain will not change because of the teacher-student relationship between Zhang Juzheng and the emperor.
“Fortunately it’s me, you deserve to be me.” Zhu Yijun boasted in a rare way, even a little proudly.
He solved the unsolvable problem of the chain of suspicion between monarch and minister. The key is that when he made the decision, he didn't think much at all. He just felt that it should be like this. This may be his political talent.
"Your Majesty, I am stupid." Zhang Juzheng was a little confused. Not only Zhang Juzheng, but also Zhang Hong and Feng Bao were confused. His Majesty's words were a bit sudden, and it was really difficult to turn this corner.
Zhu Yijun explained in great detail how he understood the method of breaking the chain of suspicion between kings and ministers.
Zhang Juzheng did not completely lose power, because Emperor Zhu Yijun protected him, he had 500 Tielin troops, and the emperor even rescued him personally.
The emperor personally rescued his ministers. This is a rare thing throughout the ages. Since ancient times, ministers have always rescued their ministers. How can an emperor save his ministers?
But the thing is right in front of us.
This breaks the foundation of the chain of suspicion between the emperor and his ministers. If there is a gap between the emperor or the emperor and his ministers, the emperor personally leads the troops to rescue. The emperor trusts the Taifu extremely, and the Taifu does not have to doubt whether the emperor will suspect. Because the emperor has proven it with actions.
"Your Majesty is wise." Only then did Zhang Juzheng understand what His Majesty said. Some of His Majesty's thought and strategies without careful consideration made all the enemy's wishful thinking come to nothing.
Zhang Juzheng has to say that this is a terrible political talent.
Zhang Juzheng is over 50 years old. He has not rested for two nights and one day, and he is already a little shaky. People are living creatures, and when they are in a bad state, they will not think so comprehensively.
Zhang Juzheng was worried. He had been thinking about it for a day. After thinking again and again, he said: "Your Majesty, do you want to stop the New Deal?"
"Absolutely impossible." Although Zhu Yijun's words were calm, they were decisive. , now that the New Deal has reached its most critical moment, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, and it is absolutely impossible for him to allow the New Deal to pause.
"Your Majesty, just stop and wait until your Majesty is in his prime before implementing it. Your Majesty is still young and is not in a hurry." Zhang Juzheng did not mean that the New Deal would not be implemented, but that the contradictions had intensified to this point. It's already a bit too hasty. You can wait until His Majesty has more strength in his hands before implementing it.
"Sir, you are also confused. When it comes to the New Deal, you have always started shooting without looking back. Once you stop, you will counterattack and calculate. The situation will become even worse. It will be difficult to implement the New Deal. Within a few years, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed. Now is the only chance for the Ming Dynasty. Sir, don’t try to persuade me any more. Grandpa has also experienced assassination of the king, burning of the palace, and assassination in the palace. I am just repeating the experience. I can’t retreat or stop, because there are thousands of feet behind me. Cliff." Zhu Yijun was still very insistent.
"If you have any tricks, use them as soon as possible. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!"
The twenty-five years of shame for Master Dao were inevitable after Master Dao chose to avoid them after the Renyin Palace Incident, because The New Deal of the previous twenty years was completely abolished due to religious practice and disillusionment. Even if Taoist Master wanted to come out of Xiyuan, it would be impossible. The general trend was over, and as a monarch, Taoist Master did not have the ability to buck the trend. .
Zhu Yijun refused to stop because he was the emperor, the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He could not bear to spend the next fifty years in shame, so he wanted to fight and would rather die in glory. And don’t live in shame.
"Your Majesty is not the king who succeeds and loses the bandits, but the king who succeeds and defeats the bandits. The reason why he succeeded was because he followed the king's way. The reason why the bandits were defeated was because he did not follow the king's way. It should be like this." Zhang Juzheng said sincerely: "I will never do it again. Worried. "
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
The king will succeed and the bandits will be defeated. The king will win by following the king's way, but the bandits will be defeated by the bandit's way.
The meaning of what Zhang Juzheng said is very clear. Does the winner write history, or does history choose the winner? Obviously Zhang Juzheng still fulfilled his mission as a tutor and educated the young emperor. After all, the emperor still called him husband and never changed his tune.
"Sir, you are really talented. Even though I am so tired, you still want to teach me the truth." Zhu Yijun couldn't help but nodded. This is why he likes to talk to Zhang Juzheng. Many of Zhang Juzheng's views are completely different from others, and In Zhu Yijun's personal opinion, it is more accurate.
Zhu Yijun took out a pencil and took notes. Suddenly, he frowned and realized that there was something wrong with Zhang Juzheng's thinking!
He looked at Zhang Juzheng's face with a frown. The more he thought about it, the more likely it was. He asked with a slight doubt: "Sir, please don't be confused and commit suicide. After Zhu Wan, , the Japanese invasion has been going on for decades, and the gentleman is clear about his ambition, but this pursuit of glory is a sign of national destruction.”
"Ah, that's right." Zhang Juzheng was in a daze. He was Zhang Juzheng, but his name was also synonymous with the New Deal. If he died in a shameful way, the New Deal would naturally come to an abrupt end. As His Majesty said, the Ming Dynasty He will die within ten years.
So, for the sake of Ming Dynasty, he cannot commit suicide to Ming Dynasty.
"Sir, have you really thought about it like this?! How can you think like this? Ah, these cheap Confucians are still killed less!" Zhu Yijun said angrily, and he became even more dissatisfied with the cheap Confucians. This kind of grasp of timing is obviously the work of humble Confucians.
"Zhang Daban, send Mr. Zhang Juzheng back to his room to rest. He obviously didn't sleep enough. He's a little confused thinking about anything. Come on, come on." Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng to rest. After the assassination, Zhang Juzheng kept Without sleep, your thoughts will be affected by your state.
Zhang Juzheng committed suicide to express his ambition, and Zhu Yijun couldn't clean up the mess left behind.
"Your Majesty, all the ministers are waiting outside the Yicheng uncle's house. Whether it is announced or not, they all arrived yesterday." Feng Bao asked the emperor for instructions. The news of the emperor's assassination in Xishan was sent back to the capital. All the officials in the hall came to Xishan to wait for him.
"Don't be on duty at the official office. Come here to join in the fun. Go and let them go back." Zhu Yijun waved his hands repeatedly. Ming officials were lazy and fished when they got the chance and did not go to work. , Go to Xishan for an outing? !
Feng Bao's computer went down on the spot. An assassination happened. Among all the officials in the capital, whoever doesn't come will be the most suspect. Is this a matter of whether to go to work or not? But His Majesty thought so, and Feng Bao could not persuade him, so he could only go and summon him.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!" A small yellow door shouted with a raised voice, and the Queen Mother of the two palaces rushed in. Without any regard for etiquette, she turned Zhu Yijun inside and out, and then it was loose. Take a breath.
"This group of ministers are simply lawless. They took them all to the Yongding River to behead them. Change one batch. If the next batch is still the same, then change it again! Feng Bao, go and draft the decree immediately and let Zhao Mengyou go. Arrest them all!" Empress Dowager Li was furious, and her whole body was in a state of extreme anger. She even planned to issue an order to kill everyone in Jingtang, regardless of the history of the Spring and Autumn Period.
"Ah?" Feng Bao looked at the furious Queen Mother Li blankly, not knowing how to explain.
Zhu Yijun actually had doubts about Empress Dowager Li. After all, according to history, Empress Dowager Li doted on her younger son Zhu Yili even more. In the eighth year of Wanli, after Emperor Wanli's mischief, he even said that he wanted to change the emperor.
But looking at it now, Empress Dowager Li is just a womanizer. Just like thousands of mothers who hope that their children will succeed, they will always be desperate and angry when their children fail to live up to expectations.
"There is no bloodbath in the capital. After killing all the officials, the court is completely gone." Zhu Yijun hurriedly persuaded Empress Dowager Li to calm down. He was also tired. After a bloody battle, he still had to persuade Sir, don't be confused, and also advise your mother not to get angry.
After half an hour of persuasion, Queen Mother Li’s anger finally calmed down.
"I have wronged you, the emperor." Empress Dowager Li cried and said. After being angry, it is wronged, and after being wronged, it is complaining to the husband. How old is the son? He is fifteen years old and has to bear all this. The husband lets go. And go, leaving the children to suffer like this.
Zhu Yirui was really frightened as he watched from the side. In his view, at a young age, what good was it to be an emperor? How could it be as comfortable as being a prince to face all these ups and downs? Look at the emperor's uncle Zhu Zaiyu. He can do what he wants to do, and is served by beauties from all over the world.
It is not easy to be a good emperor. Zhu Yili witnessed the emperor's hard work with his own eyes. The armor full of blood was lying next to him.
In the eyes of the young Zhu Yili, being an emperor is really not as good as a prince.
Yesterday I attended the engagement party of the leader’s son. The accompanying person could only drink. He didn’t know how to get home. When he woke up, he quickly coded. This is to make up for yesterday. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! !
