Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 249 Martial Arts (1)

There are so many evil things in this world, it must be because people's hearts are broken.

A dragon-slaying warrior eventually becomes a dragon. This is by no means as simple as talking about it. The logic behind the metaphor couldn't be simpler. From being poor to having a lot, people change unknowingly as their status improves and classes cross.

"Yuanfu, why did the emperor suddenly issue an order to perform martial arts at the Fengtai camp without any warning? This matter has caused quite a heated discussion among the government and the public."

"I don't know about this either."

"Right now, the cabinet has a lot of things to resolve. Under such circumstances, the emperor suddenly wants to carry out military exercises. This will cost an unknown amount of money. With this expenditure, it may be difficult for the national treasury to allocate it."

"Most of this expenditure is directly allocated from internal funds. Those who participate in the martial arts exercise at Fengtai Camp are selected from the Fifth Army Camp, Shenshu Camp, Shenji Camp, Four Guards Camp, Yongwei Camp, and Warrior Camp. These camps are in All the money spent on food expenses during the previous rectifications were directly allocated from internal funds."

"This is also the Ming Dynasty's money. There are many matters that the court has to solve at the moment. The rectification of military equipment is an important matter, but things that involve people's livelihood are also important!"

"Is there something going on over there in Liaodong or on the southwest border? Wang Shufu, what kind of military affairs has the Military Aircraft Department received recently?"

"No."

"It's strange to say that Liu Shufu left the capital not long after he joined the cabinet. The cabinet still doesn't know exactly where he went and what he was going to supervise. Is this related to the emperor's decree to perform martial arts this time?"

Outside the Chengtian Gate, the cabinet ministers headed by Zhu Yanxi gathered together to discuss in low voices the emperor's sudden decree to conduct military exercises at the Fengtai camp.

As for the civil and military officials gathered behind the cabinet ministers, none of them were idle. They were whispering to each other and discussing in low voices with their colleagues around them.

It's sunny.

The clouds are light.

A bright sun hung high in the sky above Chengtian Gate.

Today's temperature is not as hot as yesterday.

The breeze suddenly picked up, and the flags placed everywhere fluttered and made a sound.

It's just that the atmosphere here is calm, but there is a bit of solemnity, and even a bit depressing! !

slap~

With the sound of a clear whip, the originally noisy court immediately became quiet, and the officials gathered outside Chengtian Gate had different expressions.

"His Majesty ordered all civil and military officials in Beijing to come to Fengtai Camp to observe the military action!!" In this atmosphere, a voice sounded, which surprised many people gathered at the front of the court!

Wei Zhongxian/Wei Changgong? !

Surprised eyes focused on Chengtianmen, and they saw Wei Zhongxian, who was wearing a red python robe and holding a whisk in his hand, standing with an expression that showed no joy or sadness.

"Wei Zhongxian returned to Beijing?"

"Has Mr. Wei Chang returned to Beijing?"

After confirming that he had read correctly, the ministers, court officials, and officials gathered at the front of the court all had different expressions, some were surprised, some were surprised, some were complicated, and some...

When a mutiny broke out under the rule of Xuanfu Town and the entire court was shocked, the emperor ignored the opposition of his ministers and made an arbitrary decision, appointing Wei Zhongxian to lead the Dong Jishi Factory to Xuanfu Town.

Even after that, the imperial court also knew some of the situation in Xuanfu Town, but the controversy over this matter did not stop. It was just that more things happened in the court, which prevented this public opinion from gaining the upper hand.

There were so many things that happened in the Ming Dynasty that no matter how exciting things happened, they were not so exciting in the end...

"Brother Emperor, many civil and military officials in the court were shocked by the appearance of Wei Zhongxian." Under this situation, somewhere on the tower of Chengtianmen, Zhu Youjian, who had put on military uniform, looked down at the scene in front of him. Scene after scene, he said to Zhu Youxiao, who was standing with a knife in his hand.

"This is the human heart."

Zhu Youxiao looked at the scene in front of him coldly, "Wei Banban still has some influence on the court, but there are too many people who want to use Wei Banban to figure out what I think."

"The main theme of this central temple has always been who holds the power. Even if there are some pillars who want to share my worries and solve the problems of the country, as long as this trend does not change completely, they will be tired of something. We need to respond accordingly, so that we can be free to promote some good policies!!”

The royal brother seems to be suppressing a lot of anger.

Zhu Youjian felt deep in his heart. He knew that after Wei Zhongxian secretly returned to the capital, the atmosphere in the inner court suddenly changed, and this official martial arts performance followed immediately.

Although he didn't know what happened, Zhu Youjian's intuition told him that something big must have happened, otherwise his royal brother would never be like this.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

The mountain call that rang out from the Chengtian Gate brought Zhu Youjian back to reality. He saw a well-equipped team escorting Long Chu out of the Chengtian Gate. The gathered civil and military officials knelt down and faced Long Chu. Xiangshan shouted.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Under the shouts of the mountains, Zhang Weixian, who was wearing armor and carrying a sword, walked towards the emperor at this moment, bowed respectfully and said: "Your Majesty can leave the city at any time."

"Let's go."

Looking at the civil and military officials kneeling under the city, Zhu Youxiao said in a concise and concise manner that it was indeed his decree to go to Fengtai Camp to perform martial arts. It was also his intention to have all the civil and military officials in Beijing accompany them to watch the martial arts. However, Zhu Youxiao said But he doesn’t like to waste time, so there is currently no one in Long Chu, which is protected by layers of protection!

Your Majesty, what do you want to do?

After Yujia slowly left Chengtianmen and followed Long Zhu, Wei Zhongxian showed a complicated expression. He wanted to see Chengtianmen, but was suppressed by the only reason in his heart.

Under such a situation, any slight behavior will arouse the suspicion of many people.

After reporting the situation found out by Fang Zhenghua to the emperor, Wei Zhongxian originally thought that his emperor would be furious and dispatch an army to Shanxi. After all, this involved too many people and too many levels. If there was no reaction from the imperial court, No one can imagine what will happen under the turbulent Shanxi rule.

But what Wei Zhongxian never expected was that although his emperor was very angry, he only did one thing and wrote a secret edict to Fang Zhenghua. No one, including him, knew the content of this secret edict and was responsible for issuing this edict. The one who gave the secret order was Lu Jiude, the eunuch of Da Naixing Factory.

"The secret is as long as the people are there, the secret is lost, and the people are dead!"

This was the only thing Wei Zhongxian heard, and it was precisely this that made Wei Zhongxian even more curious about what was written in the secret edict issued by his emperor to Fang Zhenghua.

But these have nothing to do with Wei Zhongxian.

After the matter was finalized, the emperor immediately made it clear that he would perform martial arts in the Fengtai camp, and also asked all the civil and military officials in Beijing to accompany them to observe the martial arts. This made Wei Zhongxian think more, because he was left in the capital and did not need to go again. Datong Town, let alone Shanxi...
