Chapter 261: Entering the court under the order (II)

Ye Tianming has also had mixed joys and sorrows in the past two days. The crisis caused by Li Jinglong's defeat some time ago was temporarily alleviated due to a timely victory by Li Weizheng. This is certainly what he hoped. He knew that if he wanted to reverse the current situation, only Li Weizheng would send troops, but the ease of the situation did not bring him benefits, and his comeback was still far away.

But he knew very well that Li Wei's rise in the court would inevitably trigger strong conflicts among the conservative forces of the court. When their conflicts became increasingly sharp, it was time for him to appear. This is why he borrowed Zhuo Jing's advice to the emperor. Ye Tianming is a politician. The biggest characteristic of a politician is that his interests are always the first. He issued statements twice to cut off his relationship with Li Weizheng because the emperor was afraid of his relationship with Li Weizheng. But when he found that Li Weizheng's strength had left the emperor helpless, he suddenly felt that he needed to reconcile with Li Weizheng.

Of course, the reconciliation with Li Weizheng is to start with his two daughters. At this moment, this old bureaucrat with a deep relationship with Li Weizheng is in the study to assign tasks to his wife. He knew that if he wanted to reconcile with his daughter and son-in-law, the first thing he had to do was to get the old lady's forgiveness. The old lady returned to her hometown in anger because she cut off relations with her son-in-law. With her mother as an intermediary, everything would be easy.

"You go back to your hometown and bring your mother here. You tell your mother that I am very sick and I'm afraid I can't survive this summer."

"Master!" Mrs. Ye said worriedly: "Isn't this not good?"

Ye Tianming waved his hand and said, "You just tell her that as long as she is willing to come back, it doesn't matter if I pretend to be seriously ill."

No matter how good my mother is, Ye Tianming knows her mother very well. If it weren't for this, her mother would never come back. Of course, Mrs. Ye listened to her husband. She sighed and had to say, "Okay! Then I'll go to my hometown tomorrow. If my mother doesn't believe it, I have no choice."

"You go! She will come back with you."

Speaking of this, Ye Tianming remembered something again and told his wife: "In addition, you will write a letter to Zitong and Su Tong tonight, ask about the children's situation, and talk about family matters. You are their mother, so it is normal for you to care about them."

Mrs. Ye hesitated for a moment, and she finally admitted hesitantly: "Master, I shouldn't hide it from you. In fact, I have been keeping a communication with them in the past two years, and I have to write one in almost a month or two."

Ye Tianming was stunned. He was immediately overjoyed. He hugged his wife and kissed her face hard. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay! OK! You have concealed it well. It's my good wife. This time you have helped you a lot for your husband."

Mrs. Ye was caught off guard and was hugged by her husband and kissed her a few times. She couldn't help but be ashamed and shocked. She had been married for decades, and her husband who was steadily and politely had never been so slutty. She knew why, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. If she had known today, why would she have done so terrible at the beginning?

"Master, then I'll go back to my room to pack up."

Ye Tianming was in a particularly happy mood. He hugged his wife and kept warm for a while, and then asked her to go back to her room to clean up. The next morning, Mrs. Ye took a carriage back to her hometown. That afternoon, Ye Tianming suddenly heard a news that Li Wei was entering Beijing.

This time, Li Wei was leading 30,000 troops into the capital. When he was twenty miles away from the capital, Zhu Yunwen's chief guard Yang Ning came to inform him that the emperor led all civil and military officials outside Dinghuai Gate to welcome him back triumphantly.

Yang Ning had a relationship with Li Weizheng many years ago. Although Li Weizheng was already the Duke of Liao, Yang Ning still felt that he needed to remind him.

"Brother Weizheng, although you are very strong and have won again this time, you must understand that not everyone in the court respects you, especially your experience in the Jinyiwei. Many ministers have doubts about you, so I advise you to be low-key and never show arrogance."

Li Weizheng nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your reminder. I know what to do."

Yang Ning glanced at him deeply, then stopped talking, and led Li Wei to Dinghuai Gate. At this time, martial law outside Dinghuai Gate had been strictly imposed, and the soldiers blocked all the people three miles away. Zhu Yunwen personally led more than 200 civil and military ministers to wait for Li Wei to arrive outside Dinghuai Gate. At this time, a huge army suddenly appeared in the distance, with flags like clouds, covering the sky and the sun, and the yellow dust under the horse's hooves rolling, and the momentum was very terrifying. All civil and military officials changed drastically. Many people showed fear in their eyes, and there was a slight commotion in the crowd, and there was a slight noise.

Huang Zicheng snorted heavily and said with great dissatisfaction to Fang Xiaoru: "Is this the way to be a minister? Even though he knew that the emperor was here, he still led a large army over. What does he mean? Is he demonstrating to the emperor?"

Fang Xiaoru didn't say anything, but Qi Tai said, "Different people have different feelings. Lord Huang feels that it is a demonstration, but why do I feel that there are elite soldiers and strong generals coming to protect me, and I feel much more at ease."

In other matters, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai cooperated well, but in the matter of Li Weizheng, the attitudes of the two were completely opposite. Qi Tai supported Li Weizheng to send troops to fight against Yan. The last time Li Jinglong was defeated, he happened to be out of the capital, so Zhuo Jing took the lead. He regretted this time, and this time he summoned Li Weizheng to Beijing was his proposal.

When Huang Zicheng saw him helping Li Wei speak, he couldn't help but sneer, turned his head and ignored him. Zhu Yunwen heard it, but he was still expressionless. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Look! He stopped."

Li Weizheng's army suddenly stopped five miles away, and a team of hundreds of cavalry escaped from the team and rushed straight towards this side. Zhu Yunwen suddenly became nervous. He knew that Li Weizheng was coming.

The cavalry was getting closer and stopped again three hundred steps away. In the end, only two cavalry accompanied Li Weizheng. Both of them were once generals in the court, one was Ping'an, and the other was Deng Jian, the former commander of Shandong. Xu Huizu next to him saw that these two were accompanied by Li Weizheng to visit the emperor, and he couldn't help but secretly praised Li Weizheng for his careful consideration. In this way, it was actually an hinting that the emperor was still a minister of the court.

Sure enough, when Zhu Yunwen saw that these two people were beside him, his nervousness suddenly faded away, and a smile appeared on his face. Li Wei was turning over and dismounting a hundred steps away. He quickly stepped forward to come to Zhu Yunwen and knelt down, saying in a deep voice: "My memory, Li Wei, meets His Majesty, I wish you a long life!"

Ping'an and Deng Jian also knelt behind Li Weizheng. When Li Weizheng knelt, the civil and military ministers next to him all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They were most afraid that Li Weizheng was rebellious and treated the emperor arrogantly. Now Li Weizheng's attitude is very respectful. In addition, they have all heard that Li Wei was repairing Confucius Temple and encouraging students in Dingyuan County, which made many people begin to have a little favor towards Li Weizheng. The Minister of Justice Bao Zhao whispered to Qi Tai and said, "As the official said, I also feel a sense of safety."

Zhu Yunwen quickly helped Li Weizheng up and took his hand and sighed: "My father once said more than once that the Duke will become the pillar of my Ming Dynasty. Now it seems that my father has indeed been told by him that with the help of a loyal minister like his beloved minister, I can finally have a good sleep."

Li Weizheng also shed tears and said, "I was born in a small way and I had to be favored by the crown prince before I could achieve today. I have always remembered the kindness of meeting him and I dare not forget it one day."

Li Weizheng's sincerity moved many ministers deeply, only Huang Zicheng's face turned pale and he cursed secretly: "Bah! Pretending to be hypocritical."

Zhu Yunwen was also moved a little, and he said to Ping'an and Deng Jian again: "You two serve the Grand Commander well, and I will never treat you badly."

Ping'an and Deng Jian quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "I obey the order!"

At this time, a guard officer shouted loudly: "The time is here, the emperor will return to the palace!"

A dragon chassis pulled by ninety-nine guards slowly came over. Zhu Yunwen held Li Weizheng's hand and smiled, "Your dear, please sit down. I want to give you a cart pusher to show your glory!"

When Li Jinglong went on the war a few months ago, he had been riding the dragon chassis without saying that, and Zhu Yunwen symbolically pushed the cart for him from behind. This incident was criticized by many people. Of course, Li Wei knew it in his heart, so many eyes were staring at him! His face immediately changed and he said solemnly: "The dragon chassis is a symbol of the king. Does Your Majesty want to trap the ministers for being unfaithful and unrighteous?"

Zhu Yunwen was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Wei would turn against him when he said he was about to turn against him. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "I don't have this intention, I just want to give my beloved glory."

Li Wei immediately took off his robe, knelt down with his upper body exposed, and said, "Please get in the car, and I will chase you for you. This is the supreme glory of me."

After he finished speaking, warm applause suddenly echoed on both sides, and all the ministers shouted: "Please come to chase!"

Two eunuchs came to help Zhu Yunwen to chase him. Zhu Yunwen stared at Li Weizheng for a long time. He personally put on Li Weizheng's clothes and sighed: "I have once again deeply experienced your loyalty."

The dragon chassis slowly started, and ninety-eight guards pulled the dragon chassis. Li Wei was personally pulling Zhu Yunwen in the front, and thousands of guards were closely guarding each other on both sides. All the ministers followed behind, all of whom were full of excitement. The dragon chassis slowly walked and entered Dinghuai Gate. At this time, hundreds of thousands of people greeted each other in the streets of the capital city. The heads were surging, and the momentum was huge, and cheers were rising one after another. Although the guards used giant shields to protect Li Weizheng, the people in the capital still knew that the generals of the Five Armies were pulling for the emperor, and the applause and cheers became even more enthusiastic.
