In the first year of Tianqi, Gao's patriarch of Shuofang was outside Chenyang City and killed the Later Jinnu chief Nurhaci, recaptured Liao Chen, and then led his army back to the court, only conferring the general of Yansui. Everyone thought that the court was unfair. However, no one knew that it was Gao who entered the palace to persuade Emperor Tianqi that he passed the reward passed by the cabinet dominated by the Donglin Party.

In the second year of Tianqi, Gao Jin, who returned to Shaanxi, watched coldly. In the Battle of Chenyang, he killed Nurhaci, severely injured the Eight Banners, and lost nearly 20,000 troops. Huang Taiji led the remaining six Banners troops to succeed the throne. After retreating to Hetuara, he turned to attack North Korea and plundered the population in order to restore vitality.

After Xiong Tingbi took over Chenyang, he rebuilt the defense line, but unexpectedly, the court actually urged him to send troops to take the opportunity to completely wipe out the Dongliu. Xiong Tingbi reported that he was dismissed and was dismissed. Then the Donglin Party appointed Yuan Yingtai as the governor of Liaodong, and sent another military expenditure of one million taels, gathered 60,000 troops, and went out to suppress the bandits in three groups, but was defeated again, and even Chenyang was lost again.

At this time, they remembered Xiong Tingbi again. Who knew that Xiong Tingbi's temper was so angry that he insisted on not going to the fire pit in Liaodong again, unless the cabinet did not impose a restraint on his military and political power, and had the right to make arbitrary decisions on the occasion, and the military expenses had to be directly allocated to him without passing through the Ministry of War.

Such a request was naturally regarded as unreasonable, so a censor impeached Xiong Tingbi and said that when he took office as the Liaodong ruling, he had embezzled 170,000 taels of military expenditure, and then imprisoned Xiong Tingbi. If Wei Zhongxian had not received Gao Jin's instructions and asked him to take care of Xiong Manzi, Xiong Tingbi would have died in the prison of the Ministry of Justice in an unknown way.

Then the She Chongming rebelled and founded the country. At this time, there were no generals to adjust the court. The Donglin Party could only pinch its nose and move it into Sichuan to suppress the rebellion. This time, Gao Jin only brought 20,000 infantry and 5,000 light cavalry to fight. The main force of the Shuofang Army was still entrenched in Shaanxi to suppress the civil unrest.

After the mining tax was removed, Jiangnan and other places could not collect commercial taxes. At this time, the Donglin Party, which was in charge of national affairs, could think of continuing to increase Liao pay. Shaanxi suffered a drought for two consecutive years. The Liao pay was increased and exploited layer by layer. The people below had to rebel if they survived. So the 36th Battalion took advantage of the situation, such as the King of Sweeping the Flood, Xing Honglang, the King of the Black Evil, the King of Troubled Times, the Stars of the Sky, the King of Li Jin, and the Eight Vajra, all of which were called rebels, were revealed.

However, Shaanxi was the territory of the Shuofang Army. Gao Jin sent Chen Sheng and Zhang Jian and others to lead the army to wipe out these bandits, and then defeated the powerful and evil gentry in the place where the bandits rampant into chaos and killed them. At the same time, they plundered their property to provide relief to refugees and local people and organize the restoration of production.

Outside Yongning City, Gao Jin read the military newspaper sent from Shaanxi, put it down and looked at Mulan, who had just stopped in front of him. In the Battle of Chenyang, he ate an arrow from the old slave, injured his arms and muscles and needed a good harvest. This time he entered Sichuan to suppress the rebellion, Mulan insisted on following him, and he agreed.

After the Battle of Chenyang, the two brothers of the Qin family should have led the Baigang soldiers back to Sichuan, but they were willing to serve under his command, so he naturally would not let them go. So after copying the gold and silver from Chenyang City, he directly asked Qin Bangping to escort the ashes of more than 1,000 taels of gold and silver to return to Sichuan, and send all the pensions before returning to Sichuan.

Qin Liangyu did not force her to keep two brothers, but then the two brothers swept away three thousand elite white pole soldiers from her, which made her angry.

After Gao Jin led his troops into Sichuan to quell the rebellion, Qin Liangyu began to fail to sell him, the most powerful protector, to the world. Until she led her army to break Erlang Pass, Mulan led his troops to break Fotu Pass on behalf of Gao Jin. After the two armies merged, she met Mulan, a heroic and powerful female general. When the two met, they became sisters after they met, and they competed with each other's martial arts skills.

Gao Jin's Shuofang army had strong combat power, and more than 5,000 white-rod soldiers from the two brothers of Qin Bangping were guided. After joining forces with Qin Liangyu, he was unstoppable and drove She Chongming back to the nest of Yongning City, and surrounded him, without giving him a way out.

If Gao Jin hadn't wanted to end the war too early, he would have mobilized the artillery battalion to knock on Yongning City. Because of the supplies provided by Gao Jin, Qin Liangyu would not have driven the soldiers in the army to fill the city wall with their lives. So outside Yongning City, he would have talked with Mulan every day, competed with martial arts, or went hunting together, and lived a very comfortable life.

"Husband, why are you happy?"

After Mulan and Qin Liangyu came, Gao Jin stood up, took a wet wipe and handed it to Mulan to wipe her sweat, and then said, "In the Shaanxi area, A Sheng has pacified the Purple Gold Liang King for his own use. Now the bandits have subsided. In the capital, Lao Wei has made a big fuss. Now he is the leader of the eunuch party, known as Nine Thousand Years!"

Gao Jin said, he didn't know whether Wei Zhongxian was influenced by him and learned to hide his minions and wait for the opportunity. After Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he, the eunuch in the Silijian, was not too outstanding, but just focused on serving the emperor and the queen mother, watching the Donglin Party taking over power in the court with cold eyes.

Speaking of the second year of Tianqi, the Donglin Party won a great victory in the court. The remaining officials of the non-Donglin faction all turned to Donglin, and the remaining officials of the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party also planned to rebel. However, the Donglin Party was too proud and I was the only one. Zhao Nanxing, Ye Xianggao and others actually brought up the Hongwan case and brought up the old story again, and wanted to use Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the former dynasty, to establish his authority, and to kill all the officials of the non-Donglin faction and expel them from the court.

So when the officials of the Donglin faction in the Central African Dinglin faction saw this situation, everyone could only hold a group to keep warm and protect Fang Congzhe, but the Donglin Party was still pressing forward step by step. At this time, Wei Zhongxian finally took action. The emperor Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, said no to the Donglin Party and protected Fang Congzhe. Then the officials of the non-Donglin faction realized that Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch in the Silijian, was not a decoration, but could affect the emperor, so someone took the initiative to surrender to Wei Zhongxian.

The Donglin Party's mouth has always been vicious, so they fabricated the word "eunuch Party", but they did not expect that their domineering behavior would have greatly increased Wei Zhongxian's power. However, at this time, the Liaodong Governor Wang Huazhen, who belonged to the Donglin faction in Liaodong, lost Liaoyang because of underestimating the enemy. If Huang Taiji had not been worried about provoking the Shuofang Army, I was afraid that even Guangning would have lost its protection.

The forces of the Dongliu who were crippled by Gao Jin were revived, and the situation in Liaodong collapsed completely again. How could Wei Zhongxian miss this opportunity? He endured it for three years. Now the Donglin Party took the initiative to hand over the knife. The emperor Zhu Youxiao was also criticized by Yang Lian Zuo Guang Dou for two years because he studied Western learning with the missionary recommended by Gao Jin in the palace. He was also furious. Then Wei Zhongxian raised a prison, using the Donglin Party to lose its troops and insult the country and pursued it in a clue. As a result, 70% of the Donglin Party faction's cadres in the capital were put into the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei.

At present, the public opinion in the capital is still under the control of the Donglin Party, which is said that the power eunuch interferes in politics and is in a dark state. He also added the name of 9,000 years to Wei Zhongxian.

Gao Jin didn't care how the Donglin Party was conspired by Wei Zhongxian. What he cared about was that he had spent his energy and effort on Wei Zhongxian over the years, and finally it was time to pay back.

"Nine thousand years old, why is Old Wei so uncautious? This title is something he can call."

"It was not his own choice, it was the title of Donglin who gave him."

Qin Liangyu was also feeling moved when she heard it. She had always thought that the Donglin masters were loyal and virtuous ministers who were devoted to the country. But it was not until she became sworn brothers with Mulan and broadened her horizons by this Duke who knew that she was not thinking about it.

"Sister Qin, it's time to take down Yongning City."

Gao Jin looked at Qin Liangyu. He had dragged the city before, so he let the Shuofang Business Company take the opportunity to occupy the Sichuan Business Roads. Now Fan Xiu'an has done this. In addition, with the Sichuan generals who Qin Liangyu and him are in contact with him, he can return to Shaanxi with confidence and ask Lao Wei for an official position on behalf of his subordinates.

Although Qin Liangyu refused to leave Mulan, he knew that Mulan had been away from home for a long time and must have missed her children at home, so he said, "When Yongning City is pacified, I will go to my sister's house to chat with her for a while next year."

Mulan naturally smiled and turned into two crescent moons. "That's great. When my sister arrived, I asked my husband to take the child. My sister and I went to the grassland to hunt for a long life and see the big lake."

In April of the third year of Tianqi, the Protector Gao Jin and Shi Quan Xuanwei sent the chieftain Qin Liangyu to destroy Yongning City, captured She Chongming alive, and then quelled the rebellion.

...

"Oh, little guy, please be gentle. Godfather's body is not bigger than you, so I can't afford to toss."

Wei Zhongxian was in the outer house outside the Forbidden City. Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, looked at his own governor who was ridden by Gao Dadu's son as a horse, and only then did he know how good the relationship between the governor and Gao Dadu's Protector was. This also made him secretly happy. There was Gao Dadu's Protector outside and the governor inside. What kind of waves can those remnants of the Donglin cause?

This was the fourth year of Tianqi, and in the winter month, Gao Jin went to Beijing. However, this time he came back because Zhu Youxiao issued three edicts in a row to ask him to go to the palace to attend the Wanshou Festival. Since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, Gao Jin would send people to the palace to dismantle it every year. Now Zhu Youxiao is addicted to the steam engine device and can't extricate himself.

Before the Wanshou Festival, Gao Jin was pulled into the palace by Zhu Youxiao for a whole day. After understanding the principle of the steam engine, Gao Jin asked Gao Jin to draw the drawings of the steam train model before he put Gao Jin out of the palace.

Without Keshi's confusion of the palace, Zhu Youxiao became a father in the second year of Tianqi, but now he only has one son.

After the birthday of the 100th birthday, Gao Jin was not willing to stay in the capital, but Wei Zhongxian had not seen his two sons for two years. He, the godfather, was reluctant to let them go back to Shaanxi. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch leader who is now said to be the nine thousand years old, knelt on the ground and rode a horse to Gao Jin's two sons.

Late at night, Wei Zhongxian pinched his sore neck and drank with Gao Jin, "Brother Gao, can't you stay in the capital? Do you know that the emperor treats you as his brother. As long as you are willing to stay, the emperor is even willing to reopen the Governor's Office of the Five Army and grant you the Grand Governor. At that time, he is a Duke. Isn't it good to have a family with the country?"

Gao Jin remained silent. Zhu Youxiao was not a good emperor, but he was an honest and good man. But he never wanted any power. "Old Wei, do you know that the Liao Dynasty paid in recent years, Shaanxi was severely drought, and the people were fed with each other and the thieves were everywhere. I tried my best and you helped me to stabilize Shaanxi. But if I came to the capital, Shaanxi would still ask the people to live a peaceful life as I mean."

Wei Zhongxian was speechless, even though he was now the so-called nine thousand years old, which made Donglin silent in the court. However, the Ming Dynasty was so chaotic that he could not solve it. What is the difference between the so-called eunuch party under his command and the officials of the Donglin party? Everyone only competes for power and profit and cannot do practical things. This is also the fact that even now, Sun Chengzong and other Donglin officials can still be in the court. It is because Xiong Tingbi was wanted by Gao Jin to be the governor of the three sides as a shield when he was asked to be the governor of the three sides of the army to be the shield.

Now there is still a bottomless pit in Liaodong. If the Donglu hadn't been afraid of passing Liaoyang, he would have provoked him, Brother Gao, and he would have conquered Guangning City long ago. Now Korea has been beaten by the Donglu and is about to destroy the country. The Korean king Li Yu wrote a blood letter and cried blood to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty, and the court could only watch.

Gao Jin and Wei Zhongxian tacitly did not talk any further. Wei Zhongxian knew Gao Jin's thoughts, but also knew that as long as the emperor was still there, this brother Gao might not have done such a big thing, and he himself was unwilling to think about it.

Half a month later, Gao Jin finally set out on his way home. He didn't know that he would leave forever.

...

In the seventh year of Tianqi, in the early spring, Zhu Youjiao fell into the water and was seriously ill. King Xin Zhu Youjian served his brothers with medicine and stones in front of the imperial court. He was praised as benevolent and filial by ministers throughout the court. Wei Zhongxian, who was red-eyed and investigated the waterfall of the pleasure boat, did not expect to suspect King Xin, who looked weak and literary.

After the fourth year of Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian was able to control the national affairs under the letter from Zhu Youxiao. Faced with the rotten sore of Liaodong, he did not add any Liao salary to the Donglin Party. Instead, he imitated the story of Emperor Shenzong and sent tax supervisors to various places to collect mining taxes and commercial taxes. So the whole world was resentful. Not only did the Donglin Party criticize him, but even the eunuch party became increasingly dissatisfied with him, a eunuch who actually wanted to "fight for profit with the people."

In the Qianqing Palace and the Warm Pavilion, Zhu Youjian's hand trembled while holding the medicine bowl. The bowl was not filled with poison, but a great tonic. However, his royal brother who fell into the water has been addicted to Western heretics for many years and is weak. After falling into the water, he was even more weak and could not be replenished. This great tonic medicine is a life-threatening poison.

"Emperor brother, why do you want to deviate from the right path, stay away from gentlemen, and be close to villains and martial artists like Wei Zhongxian and Gao Jin? Do you know that North Korea, which was fathered by the Ming Dynasty, was soon defeated by the Eastern Captains. In Liaodong, the eunuch only knew how to build forts and hoard heavy troops, but did not dare to attack the Eastern Captains. But you still have to convert to the Western cult. If this continues, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed!"

Zhu Youjian stared at the seriously ill emperor's brother, his eyes full of struggle. Now many people inside and outside the palace are looking forward to his elder brother's death. "Brother, don't blame me, I can't watch the Ming Dynasty fall in your hands."

"Brother, you are here..."

Zhu Youxiao opened his eyes. He looked at the blurry figure in front of him and smiled. He loved this younger brother since he was a child. After he ascended the throne, he invited Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others to teach him to study. Now this younger brother is a young gentleman, and the court and the people praised him, which made him very pleased that this younger brother will no longer be despised as he was back then.

"Brother, it's time to take medicine!"
