Unofficial History of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty

Seeing that Jiang Bin brought back a man he had never met before, the veteran said that he was the one who returned to the Xuan Mansion after finishing his business. After a while, I quietly left some silver, and then turned back to Tianzhen County, Datong, still dressed as a merchant, and sat in a teahouse to rest.

After Wu Jie got back Jiang Ziqing's skin, Jiang Bin realized that he had deliberately gone to the Xuan Mansion to be slandered and ignored. He couldn't help worrying and said, "It's not unreasonable, but can your soul be able to bear this coming and going?"

"Although I am no different from ordinary people now, I still have inner alchemy and immortal bones. I can recognize this skin, and it is not far from changing clothes." Wu Jie took a sip of tea and pushed the pastry in front of Jiang Bin, "You used to If you haven’t eaten anything, don’t hurt your spleen and stomach.”

Jiang Bin nodded, but he still couldn't eat any more. He thought for a while and said, "Do you recognize my uncle and the emperor?"

Wu Jie ate half of the snack, put it down and shook his head, saying: "The gods are also divided into three or six grades, gods, real people, immortals, Taoists, saints, sages... Lord of heaven and earth, master of wind and rain, master of bad luck... no There are only a few, and there are some loose immortals who ascended to the ascension due to chance, I really can't remember."

Jiang Bin thought the same, so he didn't ask this anymore, thinking that he didn't know what happened to Xiao Ju, Sun Zhen and Zhang Yu, if even the side generals were bought, then the power really wanted to steal the day and change the day, not just jumping over the wall like a dog in a hurry Simple.If they haven't reached this level, they are afraid that some people who are greedy for power, greedy for life and afraid of death will tie them up and bite them back, and hand them over to the imperial court for punishment as the crime of treason.People's hearts are unpredictable, and the once irreversible friends may not necessarily be able to live and die together.Delaying these days, if it is not good news, it will add another crime.

After thinking so much, Lu Qing had already rode his horse to look for it, and saw "Lu Ziqing" who had disappeared just now, and was having tea with Jiang Bin at this time, so he frowned and stared.

Jiang Bin was somewhat guilty, fearing that he would see a flaw, so he beckoned him to come and sit down.

Lu Qing hesitated for a moment before coming over, picked up a table next to him and sat down, and took a long mouthful of tea.

Wu Jie gave Jiang Bin a wink, and said to Lu Qing: "There are some things that I didn't intend to hide from you. I'm afraid there will be many dreams in the night, so it's better to know less."

Lu Qing was really annoyed by this brief dismissal, so he didn't say a word to the two of them after that, and just followed behind them.

Wu Jie didn't care about him, he just found a place to stay, after eating, washed up, went back to sleep in his own room.

Jiang Bin lay on the bed, and when he closed his eyes, he saw the scene of gold and iron horses and blood flying everywhere. It was like a dream but not a dream. After being confused for a while, he struggled to get up, walked to the window, and watched the laurel moon overlooking the joys and sorrows.

Looking at the moon and thinking of relatives, I don't know where Jiang Ziqing is now, and what kind of grievances and grievances, so he set up such a situation with ulterior motives.In this game, is the name of Emperor Zhengde also circled?If this is the case, will he be merciful on the day when swords meet?Or did he deliberately teach himself to recognize his identity so that he would be caught off guard?

The more Jiang Bin thought about it, the more he felt the coolness of the moonlight entering his heart, he hurriedly closed the window, but heard knocking on the door again.Ask who it is, but don't answer.Jiang Bin got up the knife beside the bed and hid behind the door, but heard a low voice from outside: "It's me."

Only then did Jiang Bin close the knife and open the door.

Lu Qing came in, looked around carefully, and made sure that there was no one else in the room, then pulled Jiang Bin to the bedside, and said in a low voice, "Master Jiang, don't go to Beijing! Just leave this place quickly!"

Jiang Bin was startled when he heard this, and just about to ask him why he said that, but saw Lu Qing staring behind him as if he had seen a ghost.Jiang Bin was surprised. Looking back, there was nothing outside the window, only a bright moon hanging on the branches.

Lu Qing still stared at him with his eyes wide open, his face was pale, and he got up and opened the door the next moment and ran away.Jiang Bin hurriedly chased him out, but saw Lu returning to his room.He didn't respond to knocking on the door, and even locked it.

Jiang Bin waited outside the door for a while, always feeling that this matter was a bit strange.Although Lu Qing had lied to him a lot because of Tang He, he never wanted to harm him.Speaking of these words now, I must know something hidden, but this stopped abruptly, could it be that I saw something...?

My heart tightened, and I ran back to the room to see, how could there be anything outside the window?Or maybe he was on the road for days and couldn't sleep well, and Lu Qing didn't know how to scare himself... How about it, I'll ask him tomorrow.

Thinking like this, Jiang Bin still fell asleep, but he didn't know that there was a face outside the window, looking at him with a grin hanging in the air.

When he woke up the next day, Jiang Bin only felt a splitting headache. He thought it was because he slept late last night and caught some wind and cold, so he asked for some ginger tea to drink.

Wu Jie sat across from him, ordered some food, and asked him if he slept well.Jiang Bin looked at the haggard look reflected in the tea bowl, shook his head and said, "Is Lu Qing up yet?"

Wu Jie picked up a piece of yam cake and said, "Isn't it here?"

Jiang Bin turned his head, and he really saw Lu Qing's footsteps moving over in a nonchalant manner.His complexion was sallow, and his eyes were black and blue, as if he hadn't slept all night.

As Lu Qing got closer, he didn't look at the two of them, and sat at the table next to him, in a daze to himself.Jiang Bin was worried about him, ordered a bowl of noodles for him, and stuffed the chopsticks into his hands.Lu Qing took a few mouthfuls without raising his eyes.

Jiang Bin knew that Lu Qing was somewhat wary of Wu Jie who looked like his uncle now, so he didn't want to ask any more questions at this time, so he only chatted with Wu Jie for a few words.In the end, Wu Jie rinsed his mouth with tea and said, it's been a night, but he needs to find someone to go back to Qiu Ying's place to report his safety, and inquire about some news along the way.After hearing this, Lu Qing put down his chopsticks, went back to his room, took some money, and left.

"Look how used to him..." Wu Jie nodded at Jiang Bin.

Jiang Bin had no choice but to admit the blame, sat for a while, and then went back to his room to wait for news.

Lu Qing didn't come back until near the end of the day, and was covered in sweat again. He told them that Sun Zhen had ordered someone to report the letter, saying that Zhu Zhen, the general of the Xuanfu, Tao Jie, the deputy general of the Xuanfu, and Zuo Qin, the general of the Xuanfu, They have all agreed to send troops, and Sun Zhen has stayed there to stand by.

Jiang Bin nodded. These generals were all promoted during the Battle of Yingzhou. They are upright, loyal, and slobbering, but they are willing to risk their lives.

"Is there any other news?"

Lu Qing shook his head, Jiang Bin was a little disappointed, and Wu Jie comforted him: "How can it be so fast? It will take some time to spend a little bit of talking, it's always better to be thorough. If you talk about news from Beijing, who would dare to disobey it?" Did the Holy Will reveal the slightest bit of rumors? Even if it spreads here, it is difficult to tell the truth from the false, we just wait and see."

Jiang Bin wondered how he could calm down?He was always in fear, fearing that something might happen to that person, but he could only waste time here.

"Go and rest!" Jiang Bin said to Lu Qing, and went outside for a walk alone.

The chrysanthemums on the side of the road are in full bloom, and the Double Ninth Festival has passed, but many vendors are still selling the remaining chrysanthemum wine.Thinking of the Chongyang Festival a few years ago, Emperor Zhengde mixed wine into the flower cakes that were rewarded to his ministers. After steaming hot and eating it with tea, he was very easy to get drunk. Many people often ate or fell asleep after eating, or became drunk. Come on, it's so lively.Li Dongyang knew Emperor Zhengde's temperament, so he didn't eat the flower cake, but just sat in the banquet and watched the farce, which seemed to be his habit. Afterwards, when Emperor Zhengde came back from climbing Long Live Mountain, he wrote a letter to warn him.

Jiang Bin thought at the time that it was thanks to Li Shoufu that he could bear Emperor Zhengde's nonsense. The way he looked at Emperor Zhengde was not as fearful as those civil servants were, nor was it like Yang Tinghe who stayed out of it, but like an elder. It's like my own baby is splashing.When he was done making trouble, he helped him up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and still led him as a toddler, walking forward slowly.

I heard that Xiaozong, who was born to a court lady, was hidden in the palace by court maids and eunuchs when he was young, escaped from the jealous concubine Wan Gui, ate a lot of food and grew up to six years old, and recognized Xianzong. Therefore, after Xiaozong was established as the prince, he moved to serve as a lecturer and assisted Xiaozong in reciting.His accommodating to Emperor Zhengde may also be thinking of Xiaozong's kindness, but Emperor Zhengde designed to make him end badly...

The road is long and the sun is setting, and they don't believe in evil when they call the wind and rain, but throughout the ages, how many high-ranking ministers can retire completely and take care of themselves?What's more, he and Emperor Zhengde still have an unclear relationship.Even if Lu Qing doesn't persuade him, he also knows that since the day he stepped into the palace, he has been walking on thin ice and there will never be peace.

After all, there is no escape.

It was seven days after finally receiving the letter of approval. Liaodong Town, Jizhou Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, and Yansui Town had all agreed to send troops or to support them under the lobbying of Xiao Ju, Sun Zhen, and Zhang Wei. It was so easy Jiang Bin was quite surprised, but after thinking about it, except for some honest generals who really believed the words of Emperor Zhengde who were forced to ask the frontier army for help because of the rebellious officials, the rest of the civil servants and generals, guarding eunuchs, and supervisors, etc., I'm afraid I'm not sure whether this matter is true or not. If the person riding a donkey looking for a horse is really an order of Emperor Zhengde who escaped from the capital without a jade seal and seal, he will be considered a hero after the incident is completed, and he will definitely be promoted to rank. The forged conspiracy of Sun Zhen, Zhang Min, etc., these troops are not enough to make a big deal, and they can always be reversed.

Jiang Bin roughly calculated that now Liaodong Town, Jizhou Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, and Yansui Town can mobilize up to 20 troops, and because the division is unknown, there is no money to recruit soldiers, and the border area is sparsely populated. It is absolutely impossible, and the supply of equipment, luggage, etc. is also difficult to maintain.While discussing countermeasures with Wu Jie, Wang Xun sent someone to Qiu Ying's office to report that Wang Qiong, the Minister of War in the capital, and Li Shichun, the commander of the four guards of the Beijing Army, had cut off contact with them. The emperor ordered him to return to Beijing, and if he did not return within three days, he would be disobedient, and if he returned, he would surely die.Nanjing can't be left unattended, I hope Jiang Bin will reply quickly.

"Nowadays there is no time to plan, no one can afford to delay the time, and we can only take one step at a time." Jiang Bin sighed while hugging Xin Er who was sucking his fingers in his arms.

Wu Jie picked up a few pine nuts, peeled the shells, peeled off the skins, and lined up the white and fat ones on the table: "Are the three generals really trustworthy?"
