Chapter 130 Drizzle in the capital
It was drizzling in the sky, sprinkling on the glazed tiles of the Ganqingmen, making a "rustling" sound, which wet everything in the open air.
Zhu Yunwen, wearing a blue dragon robe, stood on the edge of the slanting corridor, looking up at the misty rain curtain in the sky with his hands behind his back. His brows were furrowing, and his sorrow filled the surroundings like rain.
The group of eunuchs and palace maids beside them all stood on the walls, not daring to say a word.
After a while, Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru walked over from the slanting corridor. They fell directly to the ground and kowtowed together, "I will pay homage to the emperor."
Zhu Yunwen turned around and waved his sleeves gently. A group of palace servants behind him bent down and retreated to the exit of the slanting corridor.
"Flat." Zhu Yunwen said.
The two of them got up from the ground. They didn't dare to look at the emperor at all, but they obviously felt that the emperor was in a bad mood. They stood up and acted cautiously.
Zhu Yunwen was very frightened inside, and suddenly he could not maintain his majestic demeanor, and his voice broke out, and he spoke in a trembling voice: "Tell me, what should I do?"
The once ambitious emperor seemed to have become a young student at this moment, asking the teacher to answer questions.
The careful work of Peking suddenly came to report that Yan Ni wanted to take the capital directly! The fact is that Yan Master is about to arrive in the Huaihe River...
This is just one of his countless national policies to govern the country. How could such a big war suddenly break out? The Emperor's ancestor ruled the world, wasn't the world already peaceful? Zhu Yunwen had never thought carefully before that the war would last for so long and the imperial army would be so embarrassed!
He could only look at Yan Ni's army position on the map, getting closer and closer to the capital. He could not see the soldiers or hear the sound of cannons, and could only think about it, but he was even more frightened, as if something was constantly pressing against his mouth and nose, and his breathing became more and more difficult.
Huang Zicheng said: "Prince, please rest assured. You are the legitimate Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Everyone in the world will obey the orders of the emperor! Even if Yan Ni arrives at the capital city and the emperor issues an edict to the world to serve the king, our Ming Dynasty court will control millions of people, and he can still destroy Yan Ni outside the city gate!"
Zhu Yunwen suddenly sneered, his face very pale.
Huang Zicheng lowered his waist two points and said in a deep voice: "I have received a detailed report from Peking that Yan Ni wants to take risks and go straight to the capital. What's so bad now is that he has dispatched troops from the Beijing camp in many previous battles, and the Beijing camp is empty!
The capital city is strong and the walls are high, but the lack of troops is not enough, so we have to make a long-term plan. The troops in the hands of Duke of Wei are the last elite soldiers of the Beijing camp, and they may be in his hands..."
At this time, Fang Xiaoru said, "Yan Ni has not crossed the Huai River yet, is Huang Siqing so serious?"
Huang Zicheng looked unconscious and suddenly said: "I heard that Dr. Fang recommended Duke Wei to take charge of the Beijing camp while I was not in Beijing?"
Fang Xiaoru said with awkward expression: "Can we just talk about the matter?"
Huang Zicheng said: "Whether the loyalty and bravery of the soldiers, there is no one who is right in the Beijing camp. If the last troops in the Beijing camp are, what mistakes are there in the hands of the Duke of Wei, how can we recover them?
Without long-term considerations, there will be immediate worries! If you don’t think about the long-term, where can you recruit elite troops to be in charge of the capital? The prince-in-law Mei Yin held hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand. He wrote a letter to complain not long-term, and you can imagine that the court must be prepared for a long-term basis. What if it can be emptied early?"
Fang Xiaoru turned around and was about to argue with Huang Zicheng. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yunwen spoke first, "Dr. Fang, is Xu Huizu reliable?"
Suddenly, there was a moment of silence. Fang Xiaoru then said, "From the minister's view, the Duke of Wei is loyal to the saint!"
Zhu Yunwen did not respond, he noticed the delay in Fang Xiaoru's reply just now.
Huang Zicheng actually criticized Fang Xiaoru with the recommendation of Xu Huizu. Fang Xiaoru is not a person who can be choked! At this time, he bowed: "Master, you are the emperor, you must be arbitrary! The ministers have their own reasons, but no one can control the will of the emperor!"
"You..." Huang Zicheng's face turned dark.
"Okay!" Zhu Yunwen shook his sleeves and stopped them from arguing. The two ministers were still tactful and immediately shut up.
Zhu Yunwen's brows didn't stretch for a moment, and he paced back and forth on the slanting corridor, but in the end he still asked him to find a way. He walked slowly for dozens of steps before he stood still, "Immediately ask Xu Huizu to lead the Beijing camp back to the court!"
Huang Zicheng bowed: "The emperor is wise."
"Dr. Fang..." Zhu Yunwen suddenly paused again and said, "I will write it myself! Dr. Fang wrote another letter to tell He Fu, Ping An, and asked them to stabilize the situation. When the soldiers recruited by the provincial garrisons arrived in the second half of this year, I will ask Sheng Yong to lead troops to reinforce them."
Fang Xiaoru bowed and said, "I will receive the order."
Zhu Yunwen suddenly looked angry at this moment, but finally he didn't say it and waved his hand straight.
The two ministers immediately bowed: "I will thank you and give up."
Zhu Yunwen thought of the troops who should have reinforced He Fu long ago, but now it has not arrived! He also wanted to reinforce the generals in front as soon as possible. However, many military generals in the garrison stations in various places were sick. On the surface, the people who were ordered also walked very slowly and had not arrived at the capital after walking for several months. So he became very annoyed when he thought about it.
...When Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, his imperial edicts and government orders were still very smooth. After all, he became the crown prince first, and then he inherited the throne legitimately; but when the country was in trouble, he felt that many civil and military attitudes were no longer in line!
It is nothing more than that many of the ministers were from the Hongwu Dynasty, and Zhu Yunwen lacked prestige in their hearts. Zhu Yunwen had noticed these situations long ago, so he was always very cautious in hiring people.
For a moment, when Zhu Yunwen was depressed and depressed, he began to feel a little regretful deep down. He shouldn't have cut off the vassals so early, but should have waited for a few more years to sort out the people from the central and local areas.
Just then, a wet and cold wind gushed into the inclined corridor, and Zhu Yunwen felt that it was very cold after standing here for a long time.
He left the place and at the entrance of the East Warehouse Pavilion, he suddenly saw Empress Ma standing there. When Empress Ma saw the emperor coming, she knelt down.
Zhu Yunwen speeded up, walked up and helped the queen up, and said, "You have only been born in Wengui for a few months. You must pay attention to your health. The weather is so cold. Go into the house."
The queen looked moved, gently pursed her red lips and said softly, "Thank you for your kindness."
Zhu Yunwen suddenly felt cold hands and feet, so he went into the East Nuan Pavilion with the queen.
The queen was chosen by Taizu. She was dignified and virtuous, and her surname was Ma. The emperor was very satisfied with her granddaughter-in-law. Zhu Yunwen was also quite satisfied, but she felt that she was a little jealous...
However, the queen once said on the pillow that she and the emperor were in a relationship that she couldn't help but hate other women around the emperor.
