In the 14th year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was full of passion.

Since the founding of Taizu, the Ming Dynasty won the world with its martial arts, did not marry, did not submit to the emperor, and did not pay tribute. The Ming Dynasty was the upright and the Celestial Empire was in power.

Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Tartars and established the Central Plains. Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing and the emperor guarded the national gates. These were the objects that Zhu Qizhen looked up to.

Emperor Yingzong was very happy with his achievements and was determined to make achievements and gave the ministers in the court a great show.

After the Empress Dowager Zhang (Empress Cheng Xiaozhao), who controlled the government affairs, was Zhu Qizhen's grandmother who drove away, Zhu Qizhen completely let himself go.

Although Zhang controlled the government affairs, she was an amazing woman. She always suppressed her relatives and strictly prohibited foreign relatives from interfering in politics. At the same time, she valued the three wise ministers Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and Yang Pu, which are quite famous, and are known in history as the "Three Yangs".

During the reign of the cabinet, Sanyang stabilized the border defense, rectified the administration of officials, and developed the economy, which made the Ming Dynasty prosperous.

Also, Zhang is an old man. She could see that Wang Zhen, the eunuch around Zhu Qizhen, often instigated the emperor to play around, so she occasionally brought Wang Zhen over and scolded him.

Fearing that Zhang was majestic, Wang Zhen was honest and did not dare to be arrogant at all.

Unfortunately, the important officials of the country followed the late emperor one by one, and the Empress Dowager Zhang also followed.

Zhu Qizhen became arrogant, and Wang Zhen became arrogant.

As his playmate, Zhu Qizhen likes and favors Wang Zhen very much.

Wang Zhen was with Zhu Qizhen since childhood, so he naturally knew his preferences, so he agreed with his preferences and gained Zhu Qizhen's trust.

Wang Zhen colluded with bureaucrats at home and outside, and was good at doing good fortune. He built luxury palaces in the east of the capital and built a large-scale construction; he drove upright officials. Yingzong called him a gentleman, and the ministers called him his father and father, and rushed to join him.

In July, Ola Yesen led all the troops and divided into four groups to harass the inland. On the east side, Tuotuobuhua and Uryanha troops attacked Liaodong; On the west side, the faction was to attack Ganzhou (Zhangye, Gansu); on the middle side, they were divided into two groups, one was led by the Ala Zhiyuan, directly attacking Xuanfu and besieging Chicheng, and the other was Yuyesen personally led the attack on Datong. On the west side, Yesen attacked Datong's all the way.

At this time, Wang Zhen mobilized in the palace.

"Long live, this Ola is so arrogant on the border. This is a bully of our country of Ming Dynasty. The emperor should lead the army to personally let the barbarians know the power of our Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Qizhen is a good person. He has trusted everyone since he was a child. However, a good person cannot be a good emperor. Wang Zhen's words made him feel a little moved.

"Mr.'s words are reasonable, but if I want to fight in person, I am afraid that my ministers below will not agree."

I don’t know when, Zhu Qizhen no longer called him Wang Fan, but respectfully called him Mr.

The emperor's favor made Wang Zhen become a person who walked sideways inside and outside the court.

"Longsui, this is okay. Those ministers don't need to pay attention to it. Our hundreds of thousands of troops are easy to deal with a small Oirat. If Longsui wins the Northern Battle, he will be able to compete with Taizu and Chengzu! When Emperor Zhenzong of Song's northern battle was a beautiful story."

This sentence touched Zhu Qizhen's weakness. He devoted himself to making achievements and becoming famous in history, so he nodded: "Okay, this matter will be based on the advice of the teacher."

On the morning of the next morning, Zhu Qizhen told the story of the emperor's command in person, and the ministers were upset.

The Minister of War Kuang Yen and the Minister of War Yu Qian tried to say that the army was not prepared enough and the emperor should not be rash and personally.

Wang Zhi, the Minister of Personnel, also led his ministers to submit a memorial: "Now the autumn and summer are gone, the weather is hot, the weather is not abundant when the drought is gone, and the grass is not abundant, and the water springs are still blocked. Besides, the use of soldiers and horses is not sufficient. Moreover, if the carriages are driven, if there is a quick report from all directions, how can we arrive as soon as possible? Other unexpected disasters will be difficult to protect. Wan Wang hopes that the emperor will cancel the order of his personal expedition and choose the general to go to the expedition."

But Zhu Qizhen believed Wang Zhen's words and did not listen to the advice of the ministers: "It is a great humiliation to kill our people and invade our land! This matter cannot be discussed again. I have decided to go north to fight!"

Yu Qian, the Minister of War, stood up and said, "Emperor, our army from all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty has not yet gathered, and the food and grass are not ready. It is inevitable that it will be inappropriate to go to the expedition in a hurry. Please think twice!"

Before Zhu Qizhen could answer, Wang Zhen stood up and pointed at Yu Qian angrily: "Mr. Yu, what do you mean? What is the mere Ola? Long lively, I am determined to lead the army in person. I am not talented, and I can assemble 200,000 troops within two days!"

Yu Qian argued with reason: "The garrisons around the capital have been dispersed for a long time, and although there are many people, it is difficult to win. If the emperor really wants to go to war, he has to wait for the army to gather to take action. Isn't it a joke to march in such a hasty way of marching!"

Wang Zhen was furious: "Yu Qian! Don't be shameless. Can the 200,000 army be unable to eat the Oirat?"

Wang Zhen was angry, and Yu Qian and others dared not persuade him anymore. You should know that Wang Zhen was powerful at this time, and the consequences of offending him were extremely miserable.

Seeing that everyone was quarreling hard, Zhu Qizhen had to interrupt and said, "Okay, okay, I have said this matter and cannot be discussed anymore. All the troops in the Northern Expedition are commanded by Wang Zhen, and the generals take Wang Zhen as their order and go north in two days!"

After the court was dispersed, all the ministers shook their heads and sighed, but Wang Zhen was sitting and lying in his mansion.

At this time, Wang Zhen was in power. How crazy was he? The iron plate that the eunuch hanging in the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was not allowed to interfere in politics, was stolen and threw away by Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen knew exactly what the consequences were, and Lingchi was light.

The fact that one can keep one's current glory and wealth, and the flattery of his ministers, all rely on the emperor's favor. Once this favor is gone, one will welcome one's demise.

So he has to work hard to cultivate his own power, but after all, there are still many people in the court who oppose him, at least they are resisting him behind his back.

So Wang Zhen had to find a way. He wanted to make a desperate bet, and he was playing a big game.

"Uncle! Uncle!" The two people outside the door shouted and walked in.

Wang Lin and Wang Shan, Wang Zhen’s two nephews. Wang Zhen promoted them to the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei and the assistant commander-in-chief.

"What are you shouting, what are you shouting!" Wang Zhen shouted in anger and invited the two of them into the house.

Wang Lin said impatiently: "Uncle, my nephew heard that the emperor wanted to lead the army in person. Can I take my nephew with me?"

Wang Zhen checked left and right to prevent the partition wall from being heard, and then whispered: "This time we go north, we may be defeated. Do you want to die!"

Wang Lin and Wang Shan were shocked, and they felt something was wrong.

Wang Shan whispered: "Uncle, are you crazy?"

Wang Zhen sneered: "I have been walking on thin ice in this palace, so I have been favored by the Emperor. But there are many rebel ministers in the court. I want to take advantage of this northern expedition. If they all die outside the capital, then no one in this Beijing city will dare to oppose me. If they win, the ministers in the court will never dare to underestimate me anymore!"

There are many suspicious points in the Tumu Fort Incident in history, and all the blame is on Wang Zhen alone, but there seem to be many unreasonable aspects in it.

At this time, Wang Zhen was playing a big game. He wanted to use the name of this northern expedition to get rid of the forces opposed to him.

Unfortunately, Wang Zhen never expected that he would get the emperor in the end.
