Chapter 48 Beijing City, I’m back again

Guards came running outside the hall, announcing that there was an imperial edict coming. Upon hearing this, Yue Su quickly asked people to take Sima Qiaoyu down to rest, and then set up an incense table in the main hall to prepare for the edict.

Master Yue went out in person to greet the eunuch who had delivered the order. How could the young eunuch not have heard of Master Yue? Seeing Master Yue greeting him in person, he did not dare to put on any airs, but looked flattered.

After saying a few polite words, I entered the lobby. The incense table was already set up, and the eunuch read out the imperial edict.

In fact, Yue Su already knew the content of the decree. Yang Yishan sent a letter the day before yesterday, saying that the Queen Mother decided to call her mentor back to the capital, but the first assistant was given to Han Xu instead. The content of the decree is roughly as follows: Mr. Yue, I am Dingyou in my hometown.

, Unexpectedly, the imperial court was in troubled times. First, there were rebels and bandits running rampant in Fujian and Zhejiang, and then there were rogue bandits causing chaos in Shu. The imperial court then seized the opportunity and resurrected the situation. It appointed Lord Yue as governor of Fujian and Zhejiang and governor of Sichuan. He suppressed the rebels and bandits twice and killed the Zhanlong Gang.

The leader, Hong Sen, and the leader of the bandits, Wang Jiayin, have really done the most great work. Now that the bandits in central Sichuan have been defeated, Mr. Yue should have fulfilled his merits and return to the cabinet to regain the power of the secondary assistants to fulfill the late emperor's responsibility. After receiving the order, Yue Qing immediately returned to the capital.

, there must be no mistake.

After the eunuch who delivered the edict read the edict, Yue Su received the edict and thanked him. He then ordered Jin Chan and others to pack their bags and set off for Beijing tomorrow. But he had to leave, but he had to explain business matters. First, he sent someone to send a letter to Li Yuanchen in Wuchang.

I wrote a letter, saying that I am going back to Beijing, and I will do what I promised you after returning to Beijing. In addition, when Yue Su arrived at Baoning Mansion, he specially found Zhu Xieyuan and handed him everything in Sichuan. He told him that he must

Don't neglect the people, lest these people don't have enough to eat and start causing trouble again.

The refugees in Sichuan deeply felt the kindness of Mr. Yue and spontaneously came to see him off. The scene was not to mention how spectacular it was. The common people Yue Su made a Wanmin umbrella. Because there were too many people, all the names could not be written on it, so each household

Send representatives to write their names, but even so, there are still many people who have no room to write because they are at the back.

When I came, I was clean, and when I left, I only took an extra Wanmin umbrella with me.

After leaving Sichuan, Yue Su rushed all the way to Beijing, but the route Yue Su took was really incredible. He first went to Chang'an, where he met with Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides. The two just had a meal and discussed the current situation.

After some small talk, Yue Su could feel from the conversation that Hong Chengchou had a reserved personality, but he was an out-and-out genius. He only stayed in Chang'an for one night, and then continued his journey. Although the Shaanxi bandits were

Many people were driven away, but the people here were really having a hard time. The court did not have much food and rice to provide relief. Hong Chengchou didn't have a good way to do this. A clever woman can't make a living with rice. But Hong Chengchou knew that Mr. Yue had a way, so he worked hard.

Later, many refugees were driven to Sichuan. After leaving the border of Shaanxi, they entered Shanxi. In Taiyuan Prefecture, Cui Jingrong, the governor of Xuanda, and Liu Ce, the governor of Shanxi, came to greet him. Liu Ce was now an official of the Yue Party and had to provide support to Lord Yue.

Cui Jingrong knew that Mr. Yue was going to return to Beijing and rejoin the cabinet, so how could he not fawn over him. During the meeting, Yue Su did not mention the Zhangjiakou case, but only paid attention to Cui Jingrong. Mr. Cui's ability was not very good. The Tatars entered Datong.

It is his territory, and Zhangjiakou where the Tatars came out of the customs is also his territory. The Tatars come and go in his territory, and they regard the Great Wall as flat ground. How can this man's level be higher? However, Mr. Cui's ability to send horses,

It's really not good. Compared with him, Liu Ce is at the level of a beginner. It seems that Mr. Cui's book is really not in vain. He can quote the classics by flattering him continuously. It is really high.

Yue Su only stayed in Taiyuan for one night. In addition to these two officials, Yue Su also met with two people. One was Wu JiaSheng, and the other was Wu Rumeng, the newly appointed general magistrate of Taiyuan. Wu Rumeng was originally recommended by Yue Su as the general magistrate of Taiyuan.

Tongpan, but before he took office, he and Qin Liangyu made great achievements in guarding Jianyang County. However, because he had not served as Tongpan yet, he was not promoted again, and he still only went to Taiyuan to take over as Tongpan. However, Mr. Yue received him

With him, even a fool can understand that Wu Tongpan will definitely be promoted in a short time. Yue Su praised the Wu family, encouraged him, and then asked him to reminisce with Jiang Jie. As for Wu Rumeng, Yue Su asked him

Secretly keep an eye on the Shanxi merchants in Shanxi, such as the Huangji Cargo Store, Wangji Cargo Store, and Tianji Cargo Store. Since they are big merchants in Shanxi, it is impossible that there is no business in Taiyuan. Wu Rumeng didn’t know what he meant, but Lord Yue told him

How could he neglect his mission? In fact, he didn't know that besides him, Yue Su had also sent Kong Ren and Cao Yu to conduct secret investigations in Taiyuan and Zhangjiakou.

After leaving Taiyuan, Yue Su rushed to Datong along the way. Everyone could see clearly that Lord Yue wanted to inspect the situation in the border town on his way back to Beijing. Lord Yue was a man of iron words. If he was caught in the wrong place, he would

Fortunately, the governor of Datong, the general soldiers and other officials went out of the city for more than thirty miles to greet them, but Yue Su only said a few polite words to them and went to see the pass that had been conquered by the Tatars.

Of course, there is no need to say more about the Great Wall Pass. The height is there, even if the Tatars suddenly invade, but if you pay attention to it on weekdays, even if there are only one or two thousand men and horses guarding it, you will not be broken by the Tatars like a gust of wind.

Needless to say, there was no need to say that he was capable or negligent, but Yue Su did not reprimand him and stayed one night as usual and continued on his way the next day.

Soon we arrived at Xuanfu. The governor and the general soldiers of Xuanfu also went out of the city for dozens of miles to greet us, but Lord Yue was also the same. After a few polite words, he wanted to go to Zhangjiakou for inspection. This is where the Tatars left the customs, and Lord Yue went to Datong.

At that time, we had inspected the place where the Tatars entered the customs. If we had not inspected the place where the Tatars exited the customs in Zhangjiakou, even the governor of Xuanfu would feel the difference. It can be said that he had already told Tian Xiu of Zhangjiakou to do a good job.

Get ready.

Arriving at Zhangjiakou, Yue Su took a look at the city defenses and then at Tian Xiu who came to greet him. He made an exception and spoke to him, "How many defenders do you have in Zhangjiakou?"

"Sir, there are fifteen thousand in total." Tian Xiu said carefully. Although the real number is seven thousand, the figure for military pay is fifteen thousand. If it is only seven thousand, I guess I have to move my head at that time.

"Over in Datong, many soldiers and horses were deployed to suppress the bandits. It is understandable that there are no soldiers and horses at the opening where the Tatars came in. You have 15,000 troops here, and I heard that they didn't even hold it for a day. This battle of yours is

How did you fight?" Yue Su asked calmly.

"The Tatars are really too cunning. They drove our Ming people to attack the city. After hearing the people's pleadings, our army could not help but be merciful and let the people go up to the city to escape. We didn't want the defenses to be scattered by the people who came up. The Tatars

Only then can we take advantage of this opportunity. The general knows that he is guilty, and at this moment he feels sorry for the court..." Tian Xiu said sincerely. Looking at his appearance, he really looked like he was deeply regretful.

"The Tatars are cunning, and I can't blame you entirely. But in the future, you must remember that kindness does not lead to troops. If the Tatars use this method to attack the city again, they must not be tolerated." Yue Su said comfortingly.

"Thank you for your teaching, sir. I will definitely remember it in the future," Tian Xiu said sincerely.

As he said this, Yue Su could see a look of disapproval in his eyes at that time. I guess Tian Xiu was thinking, how could it be such a coincidence that the Tatars still left my place.

"By the way, how many troops and horses were lost in this battle?" Yue Su asked again.

"The loss is over ten thousand." Tian Xiu said quickly with a painful look. This time, a total of two thousand people died, and nearly five thousand were left. His total strength was fifteen thousand, which could be supplemented by the number of casualties.

Qi, I can take this opportunity to get more pension.

"Oh..." Mr. Yue nodded and said nothing more.

He stayed overnight and rushed to Beijing the next day. Although there was no evidence to prove that Tian Xiu collaborated with the enemy, judging from the city defense and military strength of Zhangjiakou, if he could not hold it for a day and lost the dangerous pass, he was not escaping from the battle, but he was also a waste. This person could not

Keep it. You must know that a loser like Liu Wushou managed to guard Mianzhu Pass for a few days. Your home is in far greater danger than Mianzhu Pass. You can't even hold it for a day, so what's the use of you?

If Yue Su hadn't wanted to find out the case mentioned by Sima Qiaoyu, Tian Xiu would have been killed now, and no one would have dared to say no.

When he arrived in Beijing, outside the Shili Pavilion, officials from the Yue Party came to greet him. After saying goodbye and meeting each other, Yue Su went to the Forbidden City in person to hand over the sign. When others handed over the sign, the Huangmen Prison would be more or less difficult.

, especially to officials from other provinces. At that time, Master Yue was a person registered in the Forbidden City, and he was known as the person who could not be offended. As soon as his sign arrived, the young eunuch immediately went to the palace to tell him that Master Yue had given the sign to see you.

Zhang Yan actually already knew that Yue Su had arrived in the capital. She would not care when others arrived. At that time, she had to send someone to inquire about Yue Su. She even asked if anyone would go to Shili Changting to pick up Yue Su.

Already know it like the back of my hand.

Yue Su is back!

Zhang Yan didn't know what her mood was like now. She felt at ease but also uneasy. She wanted to take a deep breath, but she felt that the burden on her shoulders seemed to be heavier.

Although her mood was very complicated, she had to meet Yue Su now. She immediately sent an order to summon Yue Su to meet him in the imperial study. Then, she sent someone to pick up her son, and they rushed to the imperial study to wait.

The eunuch who passed the order came out of the palace gate, introduced Yue Su into the Forbidden City, and went all the way to the imperial study.

It’s been a long time since I visited the Forbidden City. It used to be so familiar, but today it feels so strange.

Finally, Yue Su came to the imperial study room. He had never been here before, usually in the Yangxin Hall.

"Your Majesty Yue Su, long live my emperor! Long live the Queen Mother!" As soon as he entered the royal study, Yue Su immediately lifted up his clothes and knelt down. According to Yue Su, it was normal not to kowtow when meeting the emperor, but

Today is the day when Your Majesty sees you to express gratitude, so you must kneel down.

But before Yue Su could kneel to the ground, Zhu Ciyan from above quickly shouted: "Yue Taibao, please excuse yourself. Come and watch your seat!" This was what Zhang Yan taught Zhu Cizhen, and she emphasized it extremely.

Su knelt down and shouted.

At that time, Yue Su knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Queen Mother!" After saying that, Yue Su stood up.
