If there are no righteous ministers in the court and there are traitors in it, you must raise troops to punish them to clear the king's side!

This is what the emperor's ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang said in person. Perhaps his original intention was to establish an eight hundred-year country like the Zhou emperor, and even ambition was to be a thousand-year empire.

However, it was useless. Before a thousand years, Zhu Yuanzhang had just been buried in the ground for a year, the beacon fire ignited again and quickly burned from the Yan Prince's Mansion to the four fields.

Beijing officials Zhang Bing and Xie Gui were lured and beheaded. That night, Zhu Neng, deputy Qianhu, led hundreds of people, shouted Taizu's slogans, and seized the nine major cities of the important town in Peiping! The entire battle was at the cost of injuring one person, and it was soon over.

The only difference between the King of Yan and other vassal kings is not how strong the actual restraint is, but that he has led troops in the north all year round and established a deep military reputation.

The big banner tree of "Fengtian Jingnan" arrived at the city towers of Peking. Standing at the legal height of Taizu's "ancestral teachings" and the perspective of righteousness and morality, the manifesto that denounced the treacherous ministers as the leader was in power was quickly posted. The King of Yan integrated his army and motivated morale, and the entire Peking was shrouded in fanaticism.

In less than two days, the King of Yan led his troops out of the city to fight Song Zhong's 30,000 troops. Song Zhong spread rumors about "The King of Yan killed the family members of the imperial guards" in his army to boost morale. Unexpectedly, when the two armies faced each other, the family members of the imperial guards appeared in front of the battle formation. Song Zhong's army collapsed quickly and the King of Yan won a complete victory.

In less than a month, Tongzhou, Jizhou, Zunhua, Miyun, Juyongguan, Huailai, Yongping Prefecture, Songtingguan... were successively included in the bag of the King of Yan. King Gu abandoned his fiefdom and fled. The flag of "Fengtian Jingnan" spread in the North China Plain like wildfire, and it had become a prairie fire.

The front of the war has quickly opened up, and all other ways to solve the problem have become vague. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, an unprecedented war has been inevitable.

Zhu Gaoxu saw the King of Yan's methods with his own eyes, and he only felt one thing in his heart: in the world, there is no routine, and the King of Yan's rebellion is very stable and well-organized.

...

Before dawn in the capital, the sky was pitch black. But outside Donghua Gate was full of civil servants of all colors, waiting at the closed city gate to open the door and go to court.

Countless lanterns and torches illuminated the surrounding ground, and the faces of the officials were very serious under the fire. The war news in the north had already spread throughout the capital.

Every day, the ponds in various places flew into the government offices in the capital like snowflakes. Everyone knew that the situation was not very good, and most of them were surrenders and rebellions.

Before the time came, everyone couldn't get in. However, a few people had already taken them into the palace from other gates.

"The emperor didn't close his eyes all night." Eunuch Wu Zhong said softly.

At this moment, Huang Zicheng accidentally discovered that Qi Tai had a pale face, his steps were not very steady, and his hands in his sleeves were still a little shaking. Huang Zicheng suddenly felt unhappy and thought to himself: Are you still in charge of the Ministry of War, so timid?

"Qibutang, ministry..." Huang Zicheng called out twice.

Qi Tai then came to his senses and turned to look at Huang Zicheng: "What?"

"What are Qibutang thinking?" Huang Zicheng asked casually.

Qi Tai murmured: "I really have become like this if I don't want to do it... Maybe our strategy is not safe, or something small is not very comprehensive, and there is something wrong with time..."

Huang Zicheng made a voice from the tip of his tongue, saying, "The King of Yan has long been ambitious and full of resentment. If he wants to rebel, can you and I stop him? Qibutang stopped thinking about the past. Now he is attacking a corner of the world. It is the main thing to think about the candidates to suppress the rebellion."

Fang Xiaoru, who was walking behind, said: "As a subject, if you are not loyal to the monarch, you should be punished by heaven and earth!"

After a while, they entered the imperial gate, but when they saw the candlelight, the emperor was already sitting on the imperial throne and waiting. The emperor did not move, as if he had been sitting there all the time.

After a few people bowed to him, Zhu Yunwen, the voice of the superior, asked directly: "Who is the head coach?"

Huang Zicheng turned to look at Qi Tai, the Minister of War. Qi Tai had no intention of saying a word. Huang Zicheng stood up and bowed: "I recommend Li Jinglong, Duke Cao."

Zhu Yunwen did not answer.

At this time, Qi Tai finally spoke: "Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen."

There were only a few people in the Imperial Sect that could accommodate all civil and military officials, and it seemed empty. At this time, there were only a few people talking and suddenly became very lonely.

Zhu Yunwen's voice said, "Changxing Hou is in his sixties, can he still lead troops? Is there no one available for civil and military officials in the court?"

Qi Tai hurriedly said, "Of course there are many people. In the temple, I can easily count dozens or hundreds of talented people. However, Changxing Hou is famous and it is easier to command all the people."

Qi Tai paused for a moment and said, "Sir, I have looked at the reports of the various lands of Beiping and other places, and found that Yan Ni occupied the cities without taking a single arrow, and many surrendered. It was just because Yan Ni was both the descendant of Taizu, and the officials were swaying and had no intention of fighting.

At this time, the court led all directions across the country and controlled millions; while Yan rebelled only in one place in Peiping, and only tens of thousands of people were carried. The imperial government army only needed to attack head-on, and with its power of dozens of times, it could be pacified with the power of Mount Tai to suppress the top... As long as the official army did not surrender, it would be a battle that would win!"

Several people around nodded, agreeing with Qi Tai's judgment.

Seeing this, Qi Tai said jokingly: "Therefore, there is no need to be a talented person in the world to suppress the rebellion, but only to be loyal to the emperor. The loyal general is the most important person at this time.

The eldest son of Changxing Hou married the princess of the emperor and the princess of Jiangdu, and was the princess of the emperor. Now Yan rebels against the emperor and fights between two sides. With the identity of Changxing Hou, he must be loyal to the emperor and has no reason to surrender to Yan's villain."

At this time, Huang Zicheng also said: "I will discuss it."

After hearing the two of them, Zhu Yunwen quickly agreed: "Good!"

Zhu Yunwen asked Wu Zhong again: "Has Changxing Hou been to court?"

The eunuch Wu Zhong said: "Go back to the emperor, Changxing Hou came early in the morning. Now outside Xihua Gate, waiting to open the door."

It was still not dawn at this time, and it was not yet time for the court to go to court, and Zhu Yunwen's monarch and minister had been discussing the matter for a long time. Zhu Yunwen said, "The Marquis of Xuan Changxing will come first to meet you."

"Sister obeys the order."

After waiting for a while, a burly old man walked out of the Imperial Gate with his head held high. His hair under his black official hat, his beard was almost white, and his face with a national character, his steps were steady and he walked steadily.

Who is the visitor not Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing?

Geng Bingwen strided into the imperial gate, kneeled down while making a gesture, and said with great enthusiasm: "Old minister bowed to the Lord, long live the Lord!"

"Old General, don't kneel." Zhu Yunwen said in his voice.

Geng Bingwen easily held his body and clasped his fists and said, "The old minister thanked the emperor for his kindness."

At this time, Qi Tai's voice said, "Liang Po is old, can he still eat?"

Geng Bingwen raised his long white eyebrows, "Qibutang is not convinced? Why don't we go outside the Imperial Gate now and practice?"

Qi Tai was not angry, waved his hand and smiled, "I admit defeat! I am a civil servant, how can I fight with the old general?"

"Hmph!" Geng Bingwen made a voice.

Zhu Yunwen said in his voice: "Don't get me wrong, the old general, just now, Secretary Qi recommended you to take charge of the rebellion. At first, I was worried that the old general would be older, but now it seems that he is getting stronger."

"According to the King of Yan?" Geng Bingwen said this and pondered for a moment, "Master, the old minister has a word."

"Please speak for the old general." Zhu Yunwen said.

Geng Bingwen said: "The old minister's body is still useful in the battle. However, the old minister is self-aware. He followed the emperor's ancestors to fight south and north, and there were hundreds of battles of all sizes. The old ministers dared not be arrogant and boasted, and most of them had mediocre achievements... The most proud person in his life was to defend Chang'an Prefecture with thousands of troops and resist the siege of more than 100,000 troops for more than a month!

Therefore, I think I am good at defending but not good at attacking. Now the King of Yan is stolen, and the emperor wants to mobilize troops to attack, but the old minister is not a good candidate."

Qi Tai hurriedly said: "Don't refuse the old general, as he will let down the emperor's high expectations. In this battle, the old general only needs to use his troops regularly and will defeat Yan Ni."

Geng Bingwen shook his head and clasped his fists to the upper hand and said, "It has been more than 30 years since the founding of the imperial ancestor. Although there were no more than one ten veterans at that time, there were billions of subjects of the Ming Dynasty, and there were talents from all over the country. For example, Sheng Yong, the old ministers would like to recommend them."

The superior asked, "Sheng Yong? What official position is it?"

Qi Tai replied: "Return to the emperor, the official will be the commander of the capital."

Geng Bingwen hurriedly said: "Although Sheng Yong is not at a high position, this person is clear about the situation, calm and calm, not greedy for merit and proactive, and is not willing to act. He is actually a general's talent!"

The superior said, "I am afraid that I will not be able to command all the generals."

Qi Tai also advised: "Don't refuse the old general!"

Geng Bingwen was stunned for a while, and had to hold his fist and say, "Old minister is ordered!"

Soon, the sky was getting brighter. The gate of the imperial city opened, and all civil and military officials entered through the east and west gates and came to see and worship.

Fang Xiaoru first stepped out and scolded the rebels such as the King of Yan to make a bloody head. He also criticized the manifesto of the King of Yan one by one, quoted the classics and quoted Taizu's preaching, and cursed the King of Yan. From the perspective of legal principles and morality, the King of Yan was nailed to the shame of disloyalty, moral corruption, wolf ambition, and evil deeds!

So the central court of the Ming Dynasty regained the righteousness of light, and the official army once again became the army of justice.

With great righteousness, the emperor appointed Geng Bingwen as the "General of the Conquering Yan", and specially appointed Sheng Yong and other generals to follow him, and immediately mobilized the army. He chose a day to vow to fight to the north with a righteous official army!

Geng Bingwen hurriedly said goodbye to his family, prepared the Ministry of War official documents, commander seals, king's orders, imperial edicts and other things, and prepared to leave the capital.

The deputy generals and Sheng Yong and other participating generals came to Geng Bingwen's mansion before going to the war, worshiped the wharf, and went to the battlefield to cooperate. The irrelevant Xu Huizu was also visiting the other generals.

When Geng Bingwen saw Xu Huizu, he didn't understand why and couldn't figure out what it meant. Geng Bingwen knew it. He had thought of recommending Xu Huizu in front of the emperor, and he had much prestige than Sheng Yong's identity and prestige. But thinking that his girl was the wife of King Yan, Geng Bingwen quickly gave up to avoid making things boring.
