At the beginning of this year, the leader of the Mongolian Tatar Arutai thought that the Ming Dynasty had neglected its defense, so he led his people to harass the border.
After Emperor Yongle obtained the military situation at the border, he decided to lead his troops to the north again.
At this time, the Jingying Camp and Nanjing Jingying were the two most combat-effective main forces of the Ming army. Emperor Yongle led the Jingying Camp to fight.
Wang Zi Zhongyong, who surrendered last year, repeatedly asked to send troops to attack Alutai and was willing to serve as a vanguard. Zhu Di approved his request, so he used Jin Zhong as the vanguard and led a large army of 300,000 to launch a large-scale northern expedition.
Another thing that was concerned about Emperor Yongle was told to Hu Ying when he left Beijing, and said that he hoped that the victory could make progress when the army returned to the court.
Hu Ying asked the Jinyiwei School Captain to torture Miao Ge and found out that this person was indeed related to the rebellion, so he regarded it as a clue.
But in the past decade, he has obtained many clues, but each one has not been found out, and it has disappeared after checking. This time he is not very optimistic, and he can only be better than having no clue.
The female prisoner in the imperial prison was finally recruited. She actually had no contact with the rebels in Nanzhili, including Taohua Villa. The place she could contact was far away in Wushan County under the rule of the Sichuan governor.
This person was not deliberately found out that he was so far away from Nanzhili, because of an official's relationship.
The mountainous area of northern Sichuan and eastern Sichuan was a place where Hu Ying sent someone to secretly investigate before, and Jianwen was unlikely to hide there, but Hu Ying judged that the stronghold in Wushan County might be a portal for them to contact the Central Plains.
Suppose that the remnants of Jianwen are in a remote mountainous area in the southwest, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient and difficult to contact the outside world, so setting up a stronghold in Wushan, a place where several counties meet, can achieve the purpose of contact.
After Hu Ying's inference, he directly sent his confidants to Wushan County to collect evidence on the spot, led by Yàn Ruofei himself.
Yàn Ruofei is Hu Ying's confidant and has been with him for a long time. This time he attaches great importance to the clue of Wushan County.
Two months passed, and Yàn Ruofei rushed back from Wushan County. He didn't catch any of them, but he retrieved some physical evidence clues.
Everything was expected by Hu Ying. Of course, it was not easy to catch people in such a hurry, as long as you can get some clues, it would be good.
Hu Ying immediately drafted a memorial and designed a new pursuit plan. He rushed to the northern border to meet Emperor Yongle, hoping to get a approval to start the layout as soon as possible.
At this time, Hu Ying heard that the main force of the Ming army had won the victory and was in Yumuchuan, so he rushed to Yumuchuan with his entourage.
……
Unexpectedly, he arrived in the army and reported that he had not seen the emperor for a few days. Hu Ying felt that it was not good. As a minister of the Ministry of Rites, he should not be so disgusted by the side, let alone his special relationship with Emperor Yongle is more privileged than ordinary court officials.
A few days later, the Grand Secretary Yang Rong and Jin Youzi, who accompanied the army, finally met Hu Ying. After Hu Ying entered the central army's tent, he found that there was an imperial guard outside immediately blocking the blockade.
Yang Rong said with tears in his eyes: The emperor has...
Hu Ying's heart suddenly skipped a beat and fell to the ground. Jin Youzi immediately said: Hu Butang should not cry for now. The news should not be leaked now. Beware of any changes!
When Hu Ying raised his head, he knelt on the ground and cried and said: A few months ago, the emperor was in the capital and told the old ministers to do their best in official duties, and his voice and appearance were as if in front of him. He didn't want to leave forever, Emperor Ah!
Yang Rong stepped forward to help him: Everyone is very sad, but the most important thing at the moment is not mourning. We are ordered to ensure a safe transition in the empire so that we can live up to the emperor's daily grace.
Hu Ying nodded with tears in her eyes, thinking that this time, she happened to be involved in the central key decision-making, and she might be able to support her in front of the new king.
He asked the two assistant ministers carefully what to do, but Yang Rong said: Hu Butang just stayed in the Central Army camp and followed us back.
It is obvious that Hu Ying is not considered his own person. The reason why he let him in is because Hu Ying swaying outside is too suspicious. It is easy for Hu Ying to see the emperor...
It is reported that the King of Han had frequent secret spies outside the camp, so he had to be careful.
Now it’s easy to put it in, but Hu Ying can’t go out if she wants to.
Hu Ying tasted it, but there was no way to do it. They had the final say. No matter how popular Hu Ying was in front of the emperor, it would be useless.
He had no choice but to perform the last bitter scene and said with tears in his eyes: The old minister is in front of the emperor and the horses and horses for the rest of his life. Can he look at the emperor for the last time?
Yang Rong and Jin Youzi avoided and discussed for a few words, agreed to Hu Ying's request, and took him into the mourning hall to pay his respects and put him under house arrest.
Hu Ying knelt in the mourning hall and shed a lot of tears. Half of it was the one I was so sad. Once the emperor was the one I was a minister, the old emperor kicked his feet and the new emperor came to power. I don’t know how to treat him. How can he not be sad?
Perhaps because of not enough sadness, Hu Ying was not immersed in the sadness. When her attention was distracted, she suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.
He has been away from office as a high-ranking official for more than ten years and has been familiar with the world, but this smell is very strange and special, and has never smelled it.
He concentrated on his mind and sniffed for a while, and there was indeed a special smell, and he was a little confused at the moment.
He thought to himself: The emperor was fine two or three months ago. Can he be in charge of his own efforts if he is in good health?I didn't hear any rumors when I led the troops to fight, and suddenly died suddenly, without any signs, which was really strange.
Coupled with this inexplicable fragrance, Hu Ying felt suspicious and intuition that there were twists and turns.
However, the Grand Secretary and his accompanying eunuch could not allow him to move the emperor's body, let alone investigate.
People even don’t care about how the emperor died, because the emperor cannot survive if he cares about this matter. At present, it is very urgent to allow the prince to succeed to the throne to avoid unrest in the country. No major event can compare to the seriousness of this.
Even if Hu Ying wants to check it, it is not the time now.
……
At this time, the Northern Expedition General Chen Mao and Yangwu Hou Xue Lu led three thousand elite cavalry back to the capital. The fully armed cavalry hurried into Deshengmen, which made the atmosphere inside and outside the capital suddenly tense. Whenever the regime changes, a little attention may cause a bloody storm.
Yang Shiqi and other Eastern Palace bureaucrats united around Prince Zhu Gaochi and actively provided advice, which played a great role.Soon, the eldest grandson of the emperor, Zhu Zhanji, led the guards out of the capital to welcome the body of the late emperor.
When Emperor Changsun arrived at the army camp of the Northern Expedition, a group of close ministers announced the news of the emperor's death to the entire army. The soldiers who had been following Emperor Yongle for a long time cried and shrugged the sky.
The ministers immediately announced that Zhu Zhanji was the supreme commander of the Northern Expedition Army and immediately escorted the body from outside Kaiping to the capital.
Emperor Changsun led an army of 300,000 toward the capital, which means that the whole situation is a foregone conclusion.The Khan, who was far away in Yong'an, had no time to do anything. When things were finalized, they were seeking death.
The national mourning began. Zhu Gaochi was preparing to ascend the throne while presiding over the funeral. It was a completely legal procedure to sit in a supreme position in front of the corpse of the late emperor.
However, there was a secret from the palace secretly. The new emperor started to mess with women in the harem without taking off his filial clothes...
Maybe he can't blame him. He was afraid that he would hold it in a bit unethical manner for too long. Suddenly the pressure from above disappeared. How could he not get back the affliction he suffered over the years?
Emperor Yongle Zhu Di lay quietly and could no longer struggle, the end of an era.
Regardless of merits and demerits, Emperor Yongle was unquestionably a strong master. He not only left behind many political achievements, but also many national policies.
Political achievements can be written in a paragraph in the historical books, but the national policy has not been in the past generations, and everything has gradually begun to change.
First of all, the bureaucrats who followed him to endure hardship immediately rose to prominence and quickly occupied the top power. Those who were dismissed from office were immediately released and put on a fancy to the emperor. The work of those who died was to clear the wrongs and chase the honors was underway. Those who had once made the new emperor unhappy, waited tremblingly for the sharp sword on their heads, and I don’t know when they would be liquidated.
Feng Shui takes turns, good fortune and fortune come from heaven, and life, death, honor and disgrace are just a blink of an eye.Of course, this is just a gradual process for those bureaucrats, and the impact of power replacement on ordinary people is reflected.
……
After the news was made public, government officials at all levels in Nanjing quickly received urgent reports from the capital. The yamen immediately stopped working, the operation of government agencies was suspended, and the lobby was arranged, and the bureaucrats wore mourning for three days to pay tribute.
The only decree issued from the yamen is to prohibit all entertainment venues from opening, weddings and other festive activities, and the whole country mourns the death of a generation of emperors...
Of course, some people want to celebrate with lights and decorate colors.
However, for ordinary subordinate officials, except for the fact that the emperor who has been more than 20 years old has become unaccustomed to it, the impact is not very big.
In ancient times, France was mourned for three years, but it was a bit unrealistic for a huge empire. It has developed to the present day. It is all about the officials in the world. It only takes three days to release the patriarchs.
Zhang Ning also went to Nanjing's Ministry of Rites to pretend to be crying for three days. It is impossible to say that he is really sad. He has never seen Emperor Yongle once, and he can't find any feeling of being sad.
I feel a little sighing and sighing in my heart. It is true that Emperor Yongle is a great man in history. He has never seen him in this era, and has now become history again.
He thought in his mind that Hu Ying would definitely not be able to be such a high position as the Minister of Rites, because Hu Ying is not the confidant of the new emperor, so it would be strange if he could leave such a good position for him...
Hu Ying was no longer reliable. It just so happened that Yang Shiqi could be transferred to another position and find another job to do it. As for searching for the great cause of the rebels, who cares about it, let it go.
He only remembers a rough idea in history, only knowing that Emperor Yongle has been the emperor for a long time, so he didn't expect that he would die this year. However, it seems that Emperor Yongle's son is a short-lived emperor and he will have to die again after not long.
It doesn't matter. The relationship between the new emperor Zhu Gaochi and his heirs is not that nervous. The next generation emperor who is good at Zhu Gaochi is not bad. Yang Shiqi and Yu Qian and others have good futures, and it won't be too miserable to follow them.
What is the national mourning period...
Zhang Ning's mood has become good.
After Emperor Yongle obtained the military situation at the border, he decided to lead his troops to the north again.
At this time, the Jingying Camp and Nanjing Jingying were the two most combat-effective main forces of the Ming army. Emperor Yongle led the Jingying Camp to fight.
