In late September, everything in the world seems to have entered a cycle of new and old replacement.
After news of Timur's death came from the Western Regions, Song Sheng, a capable general who was deploying defenses in the northwest, also died.
Only Song Sheng's two sons were left behind, and they were worried in the capital whether the new king would care about some bad things... Two years ago, when the emperor was the crown prince, it was not very pleasant to borrow money from Song Sheng's two sons and their princess wife.
Gu Cheng, who is already 77 years old, wrote a letter saying that he is still in good health and can do it for a few more years.
...Previously, Zheng He's fleet returned to sail and was attacked by pirate Chen Zuyi on the coast of Chameng Country.
Chen Zuyi believed that Zheng He's fleet was equipped with treasures and was a bully eunuch, so he prepared to approach the Ming Navy overnight and carry out a siege.
However, Zheng He's treasure ship is tall and stands on display, and it is not easy to attack from the top.
Instead, the Ming army surrounded the pirates, defeated them and almost wiped out Chen Zuyi's fleet.
Shortly after Zheng He led his army to pursue Chen Zuyi, he received a secret report from the locals and arrested him. It was because Chen Zuyi plundered the towns of various countries all year round and made too many grudges, and those who saw that he was unlucky were at the forefront of the situation.
Zheng He locked Chen Zuyi and arrived at Xin'an, Annan Kingdom along the coast in early September.
The fleet was moored at the port, and Zheng He and others sent people to ask the generals of the Ming army of Annan Kingdom to provide supplies.
At this time, Zheng He and others learned that Emperor Yongle had passed away!
There were many civil servants and eunuchs in Zhang Fu's army, and Zheng He knew a lot, and gradually learned more.The King of Han ran away from the capital, the prince ascended the throne, etc.
Next to the bonfire by the sea, the sea breeze makes the fire light and dark. Although it is late autumn, everyone doesn’t feel cold when they sit next to the fire at night and blow the wind.
The lights on the sea not far away were lit, as if they were villages and towns.
Zheng He, Hou Xian, Wang Jinghong, and several naval generals, who were also eunuchs of the Sili Prison, sat around and silently roasted the fish they were fishing.
Everyone suddenly heard the bad news, and they all looked worried and no one said anything for a long time.
Although Zheng He was a regular man, he could not decide to change his itinerary.
There are all kinds of people in the fleet, and the three eunuchs in the rank of the rank of the rank of the military and civil servants were in power, but among the military generals and civil servants, there were people from all sides, including Jinyiwei, Jingying, and Qinwei, and not everyone was obeyed by the chief and deputy envoys.
Now, in addition to Zheng He, there are two eunuchs of the Sili Prison, Hou Xian and Wang Jinghong. Even the attitudes of these two are not very clear now... But the families of civil officials, military generals and soldiers are all in the capital. Everyone has been away from the capital for two years, and most of them must want to return to the capital.
There is no doubt about this matter.
Zheng He thought for a long time, but finally didn't take the initiative to mention it.
At this moment, a general spoke: Taizu once offered a reward of 500,000 taels of silver to capture Chen Zuyi, while the late emperor (Zhu Di) offered a reward of millions of taels. If we capture Chen Zuyi, how much silver will the emperor reward?
Hou Xian gave him a blank look: Who paid the money for our fleet? Do you still want to reward silver?
The general stopped talking in disappointment.
Hou Xian glanced at Zheng He and said quietly: There may not be much reward, but Eunuch Zheng made great contributions and returned to the court to present a great gift to the emperor and demonstrate his national prestige. The emperor will definitely commend Eunuch Zheng.
Zheng He nodded thoughtfully, but did not agree much.
He thought a little bit too much.
When the late emperor was in power, Zheng He never clearly expressed his support for the King of Han. He just didn't want to get involved in the incident of a few princes fighting for the crown prince, which aroused the suspicion of the late emperor.
But Zheng He must have hoped that the King of Han could win in his heart.
Today, Zheng He doesn't like eunuchs. He has been in the palace and palace for so many years and is very clear in his heart.
Huang Yan, who was beside King Zhao, has always had a slight ties with Zheng He and others, and once he got it, he would definitely suppress Zheng He.
Only King of Han. Zheng He privately felt that King of Han was good at treating people and was very willing to see him become the crown prince.
But what's the use? Hou Xian had already hinted just now that his intention was of course to return to Beijing. The eunuchs from Silijian were still unwilling to resist, let alone others.
To put it bluntly, whether Zheng He or Hou Xian can be the chief and deputy envoys and hold power, it is entirely supported by the imperial power.
Otherwise, there would not be one of the civil and military personnel in the entire fleet that respected them a few eunuchs.
If the imperial power is disrespectful, the power of Zheng He and the other three will be gone immediately!
When Zheng He thought about this, he thought about Hou Xian’s words just now, it made some sense.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, he needed great achievements to show his reputation; not everyone supported him in voyage to the West, but defeating Chen Zuyi and conquering the imperial city is definitely a merit.
Empress Zhang is the first wife of the emperor and the eldest son of the emperor, so she will definitely be named the queen in the future.Zheng He finally spoke, "We are back to Beijing, let's go to Princess Zhang's place first."
Today, the emperor does not like eunuchs, but Zhang is not.
Hou Xian said: Eunuch Zheng’s words are reasonable.Empress Zhang believes in Buddhism, so let’s pick a few strings of rare Buddhist beads and present them.
Wang Jinghong immediately agreed: It’s better for Eunuch Zheng to think carefully.
Originally, everyone did not dare to take the rare treasures exchanged from the Gentiles in the fleet without permission, but they were given to the imperial concubine who was about to be named the queen, so no one would say anything.
Zheng He then clasped his hands and said: When the cost on the ship is brought up, we will set sail and set off immediately and return to Beijing!
Everyone said: I will obey the order!
...Zhang Fu has moved his main force to Shenglong (Hanoi), which is located in the center of the Fushu Plain and has more abundant food.
But there is also a military force in Qinghua because he was informed, and someone in Qinghua is ready to try to rebel!
At this time, Zhang Fu heard that Zheng He had arrived at the coast of Annan, so he immediately sent someone to supervise the transportation of food, grass and military supplies, and then asked the civil servants who were sending the letter to the port and told Zheng He in public that the emperor hoped that the fleet would return to the capital!
The civil servant had just talked and said a lot and persuaded Zhang Fu. At this time, he immediately smiled and clasped his fists and said: The subordinate officials will definitely report Zhang Dada’s loyalty to the emperor!
Zhang Fu said: You can bring my memorial back and bring me a sentence.
The civil servant said: I would like to hear the details.
Zhang Fu said: I want to borrow someone from the emperor, Hu Yuancheng.I asked the emperor not to kill him. The Annan Army’s magic guns are powerful, and this person supervised them.
The civil servant was stunned for a moment. Hu Yuancheng was quite famous. He was the eldest son of the pseudo-king of the Hu family and the left prime minister. He fought with the Ming army many times during the battle of the Annan Kingdom, and was extremely guilty!
But the civil servant still clasped his fists and said: The lower officials must submit a request to the emperor for General Zhang.
see a visitor out!Zhang Fu shouted.
He walked out of the yard and came to the lobby.At this time, the general Huang Zhong came up and whispered: Qian Xun, the left chief of the Han Palace, is standing outside, almost two hours.
Zhang Fu nodded, not commenting.Huang Zhong stepped back to one side and stood there without saying a word.
Zhang Fu walked around in front of the lobby seat, lowering his head and thinking about something. Of course, what he thought about was not how to choose, but how to deal with the person who had been waiting for two hours outside.
The emperor sent someone to pass the imperial edict and appointed Zhang Fu as Duke of England, and gave him the iron coupon of alchemy books and his inheritance!On the grounds of being later, he pardoned his sister and buried him with a son. After obtaining Zhang Fu's consent, he appointed Zhang Fu's daughter as the imperial concubine!
In the Ming Dynasty, there were no living kings of different surnames, and the Duke of the Kingdom was already the highest title. What else does Zhang Fu ask for?
He did not hesitate at all and immediately prepared to obey the imperial edict... As for the people sent by the King of Han, it was useless to say that the flowers were coming. He had too many promises, and everything was flowers in the moon water in the mirror!
If a person who is about to lose all his money and says he would thank him for one hundred acres of land in the future, would it be useful?
Zhang Fu followed Yàn Wang Jing and felt that it was too difficult for the King of Han to use the same trick again.
Zhang Fu was not a hesitant person either. He took a moment to figure it out.
Instead of being suspicious of both sides of the snake and rat, it is better to immediately sue the emperor with a legitimate and huge advantage, seize this rare opportunity and become the most prominent honor of the Ming Dynasty in the future!
He had long thought that the founding heroes who followed Taizu to conquer the country was the only one who was the most prominent in the Xu family.
However, when the Jingnan Battle was re-ranked, the old ministers of the Prince's Mansion were the most trusted nobles in recent years and in the future; and when the Duke of Wei of the Xu family chose the wrong person in the Jingnan Battle, Xu Zengshou also died, so it is impossible to say that his family's power was not lost.
Jingnan The three generals, Zhang Fu's father Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, passed away one after another, and Zhu Neng's son Zhu Yong was only in his teens and would definitely not do anything big. Qiu Fu is old, and everyone knows that he supports the King of Han.
If Zhang Fu became the new Duke and made military achievements for the current emperor, his family would definitely surpass his ministers!
Zhang Fu walked for a while, turned to Huang Zhong and said: Call the one outside Qian or something...
Shadow.Yellow Zhong Dynasty.
Zhang Fu said: Qian Xun!He was tied up and gave it to the people from Beijing, and escorted back to Beijing and handed over to the emperor for disposal!
Huang Zhong clasped his fists and said: I got the order!He then asked, "Master, Qian Xun and dozens of guards, what should he do?"
All the soldiers were released!Zhang Fu waved his hand.
...In front of the screen wall outside the shaft, Qian Xun's legs were shaking and his teeth were clenched tightly.
He was not afraid, and it would be difficult for anyone to stand on the ground for two hours.
As time passed by little by little, Qian Xun's heart became colder and colder, and he felt that this trip might not be effective.
After all, if Zhang Fu had some sincerity, why did he let the King of Han stay here for two hours?
Sure enough, a few soldiers holding ropes were waiting for it!They approached very casually, put the rope straight on Qian Xun, and did not catch him.
What to do? Qian Xun stared at him.
No one talked to him.
Qian Xun said loudly: Marshal Zhang, Marshal!Please meet me, only one stick of incense!The handsome man...
Shut up!A general cursed, it would be useless to shout out loud.If the commander-in-chief did not give the order, we dare to tie you up?
Qian Xun finally stopped shouting, his forehead was full of blue veins, and he raised his head and said: "The lower official is incompetent, a humiliating mission... As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed towards the screen wall in front, with his head facing the stone."
Unexpectedly, a soldier reacted very quickly, stretched out his foot and tripped. Qian Xun kicked it and staggered to the ground.Several soldiers rushed up and hurriedly held him down, tied the ropes.
After news of Timur's death came from the Western Regions, Song Sheng, a capable general who was deploying defenses in the northwest, also died.
Only Song Sheng's two sons were left behind, and they were worried in the capital whether the new king would care about some bad things... Two years ago, when the emperor was the crown prince, it was not very pleasant to borrow money from Song Sheng's two sons and their princess wife.
