On August 13, the eighth year of Zhengde, Zhang Yong escorted Zhu Jieli, a commoner from Anhua, to the capital.

Because he had handed in Beijing early and asked for instructions, the Ministry of Rites also issued a charter for offering prisoners. He originally wanted to enter from Donghua Gate, offer prisoners in front of the imperial court, and then leave from Xihua Gate.

But since the young emperor moved the new Jinshi to Xiyuan in the third year of Zhengde, he had to walk from Xiyuan for a walk.

This time, it was no exception. This set of regulations was immediately rejected when they were obtained in front of the imperial court. The emperor asked Zhang Yong to enter from Guangning Gate, pass through Baoguo Temple to Xiyuan, walk around the lake, and then enter Xihua Gate, and finally go from Donghua Gate. out.

The Ministry of Rites could not beat the emperor, so it had to change its constitution. Only Liu Yu expressed his objection in the cabinet, but it was useless. In the end, the minority obeyed the majority and came according to the emperor's wishes.

In the end, Zhang Yongyi ordered three thousand elite cavalry, put on bright armor and red robe, and escorted Zhu Zhili and his relatives for 18, and He Jin and others from the rebellious leaders, and entered the city in a vast and prosperous way. Go straight to Xiyuan.

It was almost Mid-Autumn Festival, and the streets were very lively, and news of the prisoners had already spread, and the people were curious.

As soon as Zhang Yong's team entered the city, a large number of people immediately rushed out to watch.

Everyone wanted to see what the bold and trashy King Anhua looked like, and to see how grand the mighty army that could suppress the rebellion for ten days was.

The Shuntian Prefecture and the Jinyiwei Yamen received news early and specially sent officials to maintain street order.

When the people saw the cavalry regiment being proud and majestic, they couldn't help but praise it.

I don’t know whether it was the people spontaneously or someone led it. Every time Zhang Yong’s team went, there was applause and cheers.

The yamen runners of Shuntian Prefecture were nothing, and they also praised them, but many people in the Jinyiwei looked ugly, and those with bad tempers would go to stop and scold the people.

Without it, Commander Shi, the Jinyiwei, is now Liu Qiansui's man. How could Liu Qiansui accommodate the inner officials next to him so glorious? Commander Shi naturally had to share his worries for his master.

But no matter how the Jinyiwei controls the field, Eunuch Zhang has been in full swing.

"Eunuch Zhang's group of people are also very good men. Everyone on both sides is staring at each other, and their voices are yelling. It's almost like the little lady to throw flowers and fruits."

Shen Rui went all the way to Beijing, and along the way, Shunfeng and the Eight Immortals System came to report the message. After entering Shuntian Prefecture, Wang Jianzi came here in person to report the message and guard Shen Rui.

Now he is telling a storyteller about the "live" of the capital these days.

"I heard that the emperor also came to Xihuamen with armor. Tsk tsk, it is said that the emperor looks like Taizu and Chengzu. All civil and military officials are also marquis next to him. The inner palace is full of golden drums, and the Xiyuan is really heard. , Eunuch Zhang is really decent this time!"

"I heard that the palace was given a banquet, and Eunuch Zhang sat down to eat the mat. Hey, Eunuch Liu was serving him next to him. - I don't know if this rumor is true, but Eunuch Zhang is so decent, and Eunuch Liu is really angry."

Wang Jianzi smiled and said, "Second Master, guess what, Eunuch Liu specially chose to hold the funeral for his elder brother on August 15th!"

"The funeral day was calculated by the master, and it was not changed casually. Eunuch Liu was just competing for this tone. The civil and military officials from the court came to see the funeral, and Eunuch Liu was more decent than Eunuch Zhang.

"These officials and men in the capital have no choice. It's so unlucky to go with this vain during the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion festival. But you have to go with the bad luck. Who said this is Eunuch Liu?

"This Mid-Autumn Festival, it should be a big red and green hanging lanterns, but good. The funeral of Eunuch Liu's family has to go around the city, and the expert factory will come out to scan the circle first. Who dares to hang red?

If you are afraid of blood, you will see the family. The whole city is covered in white under this festival, tsk tsk..."

Shen Rui shook his head gently and refused to comment.

The first priority to suppress the rebellion was. Zhang Yong tried to settle it so quickly and cooked it very well after the war. This increased the weight in the emperor's heart.

Liu Jin naturally felt the threat to Zhang Yong's status.

So, like a wild beast invaded the territory, he roared with his fangs and showed his strength to the world, trying to scare Zhang Yong back, and even more shocked the fenceists who were trying to surrender to Zhang Yong.

If it were an ordinary official, he might have to be treated with caution, and this trick was not a big mistake.

But first of all, Zhang Yong was also an old man from the East Palace. He had many years of friendship, the contribution of Taihu bandit suppression, and the contribution of Yansui Kaishi City. How could he be scared?

Besides, Liu Jin never thought about how the young emperor would view his huge power.

Can the capital city be covered with white white during the Mid-Autumn Festival? Could the emperor allow him to snore on the side of the bed?

In history in previous lives, Emperor Zhengde finally captured Liu Jin because Liu Jin had a "rebel intention".

Even if a eunuch succeeds in rebelling, he will have no descendants to follow the throne. Isn’t it for others to marry, so why should he rebel?

I'm afraid that the emperor is not worried about his opposition, but his overly huge authority.

Now, not only did Shou Ge ask Shen Rui to return to Beijing, but Zhang Hui from Liaodong has also been recruited.

They are the emperor's most trusted confidants. One is behind them, two cabinet masters standing, which can hold all the civil officials in the court; the other is behind them, the British Duke's Mansion, who has actually been in charge of the martial arts of the Beijing Guards, and the military generals and nobles are also in charge of them.

There is also Zhang Yong, the "three thousand elite soldiers" who escorted Anhua people...

This is the complete preparation before taking action against Liu Jin.

In the history of previous lives, there are different opinions on the days of arresting Liu Jin in official and unofficial history. Some say that Zhang Yongbi took Liu Jin in the office that night, and some say that Liu Jin was blocked by the funeral of his brother and was taken down by blocking the door.

of.

Now, until Shen Rui entered Beijing, brother Liu Jin had been buried for two days, and the capital was still calm.

Because the emperor urgently ordered him to return to the capital, before the meeting, Shen Rui could not go to see Wang Hua and Yang Tinghe first. He was afraid that he would be asked some difficult questions to answer, so he sent a message to the mansion of the two elders.

He said that he would come to the house again the next day, and hurried back to the house to wash and change clothes, and went straight to Xiyuan.

*

Shen Rui had no idea that it was not Liu Zhong who came to pick him up, but Zhang Hui.

He and Zhang Hui have not seen each other for several years. Although they have been in correspondence, their friendship has not decreased due to distance. In fact, they are closer due to trade in Liaodong and Shandong, but the meeting is different.

When Zhang Hui saw him from afar, he rushed over, punched him on the shoulder, and laughed loudly, "You kid, why don't you raise your beard? You still look like a young boy! Where can you look like a local official?!"

I don’t know if I have been in Liaodong for a long time, but Zhang Hui’s voice has become much louder and rougher, and he even has a beard on his face, and he has indeed become a mighty person.

It is said that the Han Dynasty had 16 beards and the Tang Dynasty had 18 beards. After the Song and Ming dynasties, most men had 18 beards and even twenty-two beards.

People at that time also attached great importance to betting. Rich and noble families had special servants to take care of the beards of the male protagonists, just like the female protagonists had to be matched with maids.

Sometimes, when you look at the beauty of your beard, you can see how your family is, which is a symbol of status and status.

However, Shen Rui was used to it and always shaved his face. No one in Shandong would underestimate him because of his young face, and he would not worry about his beard.

Shen Rui slightly avoided the fist of Kai Zhanghui, raised his hand and returned it with one punch, and smiled and said, "You look like a general, you are ten years older."

"Do you dare to laugh at your brother?" Zhang Hui avoided him, and became very tempted and attacked with two moves from left to right.

Shen Rui quickly avoided and cursed, "Zhang Er, why are you afraid that Cai Wu is idle? The warrior in Xiyuan should take action, and the Leopard Room Warriors should take action."

Zhang Hui laughed and stopped, hooked up with Shen Rui, and said, "You guy didn't even give up your kung fu. It's because of the inheritance of Wang Shangshu."

This is about Wang Shouren.

Not long ago, the Minister of War He Jian of Nanjing was involved in a scandal. His servant deceived the military post and asked for bribes to those who were seeking advancement. He was investigated by the lieutenant of the investigation officer. The censor of the Kedao handed over and impeached him, and He Jian begged to retire and return home.

The emperor approved what he asked and did not hold him accountable. He soon issued an order to promote Wang Shouren to the Minister of War in Nanjing.

Shen Rui was both happy for the teacher and why he was unfair to learn from him.

He Jianyuan was in the Ministry of Justice and worked with Shen Cang for many years and had a deep friendship with the Shen family.

This person has always been talented. After going to Nanjing, he got along well with Wang Shouren. He is also a figure who advocates weapons and warship reform.

Shen Rui was very suspicious that He Jian was framed and "the servant asked for bribes" was so familiar that it reminded people of the case of "the servant selling questions" by Jin Gui, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel in the sixth year of Zhengde.

But he is far away in Shandong, and Wang Shouren also needs to avoid suspicion. He is not able to stretch out his hands to take care of it, so he can only write a letter and prepare a gift for the next tribute, and ask someone to send it to He Jian’s hometown, Xinchang, Zhejiang.

Now that he heard Zhang Hui mention the three words "Shangshu Wang", Shen Rui couldn't help but think of He Jian. Although he was smiling, he sighed in a low voice: "Shangshu He, what a pity."

Zhang Hui's eyes flashed and he laughed loudly, as if Shen Rui had told some joke. Then he turned around and glanced at the little eunuchs following behind him.

The people who served here were all trained by Liu Zhong, and they immediately understood. Tete slowed down, opened the distance, and followed from afar.

Zhang Hui turned around and whispered: "It's not a good thing Wei Bin did. This guy is almost the second place in Liu Jin."

After Liu Jin killed Qiu Ju, he asked Wei Bin to take over Dongchang. Wei Bin followed Liu Jin's leader everywhere and was a good lackey.

Zhang Hui whispered, but he was a general who had committed a crime and was removed from his official hat by He Jian. He had some in-laws with the eunuch in the palace, so he turned a lot of money to ask Wei Bin for a lot of money.

Wei Bin took over the East Factory and climbed up to Liu Jin, and he became much more enlarged. He realized that he was at least 900 years old under Liu Qiansui, so he asked He Jian to reuse this general.

He Jian naturally gave him no face.

Wei Bin became angry and was so angry that he really brought down He Jian after he had made such a trap.

only……

Shen Rui sneered: "Now, Eunuch Liu is afraid that Eunuch Wei will hate me to death?"

He Jian went down, but Wang Shouren came up. It would be strange if Liu Jin was not angry.

Compared to He Jian, Wang Hua and Wang Shouren and his son are the thorns in Liu Jin's eyes.

Only then did Zhang Hui really laugh, and after laughing enough, he whispered: "That's right. Your Majesty, I'm so happy."

Shen Rui couldn't help but smile.

After turning over two clusters of flower screens and walking to the long bridge, Zhang Hui saw that the water surrounding him was empty and the eunuchs were far away before he talked about the serious matter.

He slowly spoke: "This time, Qiu Yue made his first contribution to quelling the rebellion. The Ministry of War proposed to grant him the title of Xianning Bo. The emperor has already approved it and plans to make him the general of Shaanxi."

Now that the prisoners are offered, An Huan's body and head are different, the rebellion has been completely settled, and it is time to reward merits.

Qiu Yue’s first achievements are beyond doubt, and it is also necessary to get a title. Shen Ruiliu nodded.

Zhang Hui smiled sarcastically and said, "But Liu Jin made a statement that after this chaos, he should change his defense. Qiu Yue should be transferred to Beijing, Yang Ying transferred Yansui as the general officer, and Cao Xiong transferred to Ningxia as the general officer.

Yang Ying and Cao Xiong asked for a title, saying that the merits of the two people in this rebellion were not inferior to Qiu Yue.”

Shen Rui couldn't help but frown.
