In June Bingzi, King Ning Zhu Chenhao rebelled. That day was King Ning's birthday. At the banquet, he suddenly said: "In the past, the Xiao Temple was mistakenly established by the eunuch Li Guang, and he adopted the people of the people. My ancestors lived without blood for nine years! Now the Queen Mother has a secret decree, and she ordered me to send troops to punish the sin. , Let¡¯s work together to uphold justice!¡± Of course he couldn¡¯t produce the Queen Mother¡¯s edict, but he produced the heterochromatic dragon paper. This thing is enough to bluff people! Although the imperial court issued an order to change the top management of Jiangxi, due to the long distance, officials who were to be transferred to Jiangxi had to be handed over before setting off. After this delay, Jiangxi still has the same team as before, and many people have already joined Ning. King. So when King Ning flashed the dragon paper with different colors, all these people bowed down and shouted long live. " Sun Sui, the right deputy censor of Jiangxi Province, and Xu Kui, deputy envoy of Nanchang Military Preparation, who stood up to accuse King Ning of treason, were beheaded and sacrificed. A number of officials who had not surrendered were thrown into prison, and counselor Huang Hong and Ma Sicong, the head of the Household Department who came to Jiangxi on official business, committed suicide in prison on a hunger strike. Subsequently, King Ning claimed to have led 100,000 troops and joined thousands of ships, and marched towards Nanjing in an attempt to seize Nanjing and ascend the throne before the court could react. He felt that half of the country was at his fingertips, but he didn't know that the news of his rebellion had already been quickly sent to Jiang Mian in the capital by Jiang Sheng, the governor of southern Jiangxi. Jiang Mianhui, who had just been promoted to Minister of Rites, and Wang Hua, the second assistant, secretly reported to the emperor. After that, the cabinet made arrangements quickly and secretly ordered Jiang He and Gao Wenhu in southern Henan to join forces and go south. As for Nanjing, Wang Shouren had already begun to make plans when he received Shen Rui's letter. On the pretext of suppressing bandits in western Zhejiang and northern Fujian, he dispatched soldiers and generals, who were already near Jiangxi at this time. Jiang Sheng hurried to southern Jiangxi. On the pretext of rectifying military affairs, he contacted several guard posts and planned to cut off Ning Fan's retreat. The dragnet has been laid * In fact, even if there is no advance warning, the news will be sent to Beijing very quickly. After several years of operation by Shen Rui, the Northland message delivery network has grown to a large scale, and the delivery speed has been greatly improved. What happened at the banquet at Prince Ning's Mansion on June 14th was already delivered to the emperor before the first day of July. At that time, the capital had just received good news from the border. In mid-June, the Tatars invaded the border towns of Datong and Ningxia, but were defeated by the defenders. Ningxia¡¯s chief military officer Pan Hao, commander Zhao Hongpei, and Datong¡¯s chief military officer Yang Ying led the troops to kill the enemy bravely and block the enemy outside the border wall. In this battle, more than 300 people were beheaded, nearly 100 prisoners were captured, and several horses and artifacts were seized. It can be regarded as a lot of big wins in recent years. This is also a great victory for the imperial party. Yang Ying and Pan Hao are both veteran generals on the border, and their performance is normal. However, Zhao Hongpei performed brilliantly and became a rising star. During this battle, the intelligence work of the Siyi Pavilion was extremely complete. When they detected any changes in the grassland, they immediately reported to the general troops in various places to make preparations. In fact, the scale of the invasion was not large. The enemy was bluffing at first, but the secret agents of the Seiyi Pavilion risked their lives to detect the enemy's true nature, which provided important reference for the formation of troops in various towns. The newly improved artillery from the Ordnance Research Institute of Shanxi Martial Arts shined in this battle. Although it was bulky, it was a powerful weapon for defending the city when placed on the city wall. Pang Tianqing has always been in charge of Siyi Hall, and Cai Song is in charge of Shanxi martial arts. Together with Zhao Hongpei, they are all young people promoted by the little emperor. This time the military newspaper also mentioned that Shen Xuan, Shanxi's chief envoy to Siyou, was cooperating in the defense of the city, saying that he actively lobbied the merchants of Ma City to prepare grain and grass, and even went to the city in person to boost morale. Shen Rui couldn't help but sneered when he saw the military report. Except that he was not injured, it was almost like Shen Xiu's military report of Wu'an County's defense of the city. ???????????????????? However, Shen Xun did deserve a credit in this battle. Shen Xun not only asked Shen Rui to go to Datian to listen to the original secret report, but also wisely handed it over to the Siyi Pavilion. Siyi Pavilion also appreciated the favor and did not give Shen Xuan credit when reporting the merits. However, the origin of Shen Xun's news could not be explained clearly, so they could only refer to Wu'an County's model and report him for his meritorious service in defending the city. Of course, "defending" the city is not a lie. Shen Xuan did stay in Datong and did not escape. In any case, Shen Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Sheng did not hide the fact that it was Shen Jun who sent the news about Ning Fan's rebellion. Shen Jun had the credit for sending the secret report and fighting against the enemy. At least when Xiao Dongge's incident happened, Zong The room will not be too involved. Brother Shou was very satisfied with the performance of his central henchmen in this battle. When he convened the ministers to discuss the rewards for meritorious service at the border and the follow-up measures such as the horse market, he even spoke a little louder and was extremely confident. What it means is that if I were to lead the expedition in person, the results would be even more glorious. Zhang Yong also joined in and praised the emperor's ability to recognize people, and then praised him without hesitation, from the Siyi Hall to Mr. Li Ge, from the Shanxi Martial Arts Ordnance Department to Mr. Yang Ge.??From the Ministry of Revenue to the elder Wangge several elders made him praise him all over. Hearing this, Shen Rui and Zhang Hui couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Several elders were also a little embarrassed, but they reached out to avoid hitting the smiling man. They originally wanted to kick Zhang Yong to the border, and it was hard to say anything at this time. When the merits were rewarded, several elders did not dissuade the emperor, leaving it up to the emperor to reward the imperial party heavily. But there are some differences regarding the border horse market policy. Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe believed that the horse market trade should be continued to expand, because the scale of the invasion this time was much smaller than that of the same period in recent years. The news from the Siyi Pavilion was also that some tribes refused because they were unwilling to destroy the horse market that had finally opened. Go to war. Especially those tribes that lack fighting power but are good at raising cattle and sheep. They followed the plundering in previous years. Since they were not direct descendants and there were not many young men, the spoils they could share were small. But now the transaction with Daming is completely different. Although there was a severe drought this year and many cattle and sheep died, for them, the tribesmen slaughtered the cattle and sheep for meat, skinned and shaved them and sold them to the Ming Dynasty. Even if they could not exchange for grain and iron, it was still cost-effective to exchange cloth for salt. of. Especially when they discovered that some things really cannot be snatched away. For example, the veterinary medicine passed down from the Ming Dynasty to treat calf diarrhea is really cheap and easy to use. "And this kind of medicine can't be snatched at the border. I heard that even medicinal herbs can only be found further south. Diarrhea is a common disease in calves, with frequent occurrence and high mortality. For herdsmen, losing one less calf means getting one more big cow in the future. Who doesn¡¯t want to get more from Daming¡¯s horse market? Although the attitudes of these tribes cannot affect the Royal Court's decision, it is always good to have fewer enemies. The person in charge of intelligence collection is Siyi Guan, and the person in charge of the veterinary drug matter is Lan Tian. Li Dongyang naturally refuses to close the horse market and hopes to expand the horse market trading. Yang Tinghe would not object even to his son-in-law. Liang Chu also acknowledged the importance of the horse market, but said that if Tatars dare to invade the border, they must be punished. "The horse market is still open, which will make the Tatars feel that the horse market is there whether they rob it or not, and it doesn't matter if they rob it. In the long run, it will encourage the enemy's arrogance." He believes that the horse market should be closed for a period of time to let the Tatars know how powerful they are, and instigate the tribes who seek stability and the tribes who like plunder to fight first. Wang Hua agreed to close the horse market for the same reasons as Liang Chu, but he did not stand with Liang Chu, but more because he wanted to suppress Yang Yiqing, who was on the three sides of the general system. Shen Rui also understands Wang Hua. Seeing that Wang Shouren will succeed in countering the rebellion, he will definitely be able to go further. Wang Hua will not let Yang Yiqing, who has also made great achievements in countering the rebellion, block his son's way. . There are also different sides in the court, and there are different opinions, and the people are also talking about it. But most of them are happy. Defeating the Tatars is always a happy thing. Amid the joy, news of Ning Fan¡¯s open rebellion arrived in Beijing. Although the high-level officials in the court knew the news, it was still unexpected that Prince Ning would use the banner of the Queen Mother, especially because there was a special-colored dragon paper! There was a rumor among the people that it was originally a "different-colored dragon paper, plus gold and reward", but everyone from the emperor to the cabinet denied the existence of the heterochromatic dragon paper. At this time, someone began to whisper, where did this strange-colored dragon note come from? "If it weren't for the Queen Mother's edicthow could there be a different-colored dragon paper?" ! So, if she hadn't "adopted the sons of the people", how could the Queen Mother issue a secret edict to deal with her own son? At this time, rumors suddenly began to spread on the street that the Queen Mother had wanted to adopt the young master Ning Fan, the Crown Prince Zhao and other clan children in the palace, but the emperor refused. After that, the Queen Mother was banned from the palace, and the original master of the Zhang family Concubine De, the imperial concubine, was also deprived of her power and thrown into the cold palace. This word spread like wildfire, and the rumors related to Zheng Wang¡¯s evil talk case were revealed again * In the Yongsu Palace, the emperor summoned the cabinet ministers, Zhang Yong, Zhang Hui, Shen Rui and others to discuss the major matter of revolt. "It's really him. He would make such a move to disgust me before running away." Brother Shou said coldly. Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent. The Queen Mother¡¯s oral instructions were not circulated outside at that time, and the cabinet said that the matter had been taken care of. Unexpectedly, Ning Fan is waiting here. "I have sent people to investigate on the streets. Those who are suspicious and those who make false claims will be arrested" Zhang Hui said bravely, "The people over there, Jin Yiwei, have gone to hunt" Since the young master of Ning Fan After entering the capital, Zhang Hui had been keeping a close eye on Jin Yiwei, especially after Jiang Sheng's secret report came in. Results etc.When they were about to arrest people, they discovered that Ning Fan's people in Beijing, including the "terminally ill" young master, had disappeared without a trace. Zhang Hui was so angry that he cursed at the stalls below. Those people also felt that they were wronged, and they stared at them so well that they didn¡¯t know when they ran away. I went into the house and searched it, but found no secret passage or any suspicious vehicle. I didn't even know where to look. Zhang Hui was under great pressure and had to bite the bullet to report. Brother Shou just snorted coldly and asked Shen Rui again. This time Shen Rui still received the script of confiscating the house. I am afraid that he will never be able to get rid of the gangster title of "Shen's house raiding". Liu Jin, who copied last time, came to copy Qian Ning again less than a year ago. They are all famous people and have huge wealth. Shen Rui couldn't help but joke to himself whether he wanted him to gather all the treacherous officials and corrupt officials of Zhengde. In addition, there were also foreign and internal officials who had conclusive evidence and were bribed by Ning Fan, such as Zang Xian, who were also included in the confiscation of their homes. "I have done a rough review. These people are just paid to speak out for the rebel lord. They are not confidants and have no idea of ??the plans there." Shen Rui reported back. If these people had known about it, they would have run away long ago. How could they wait to be caught. "But Chen also found a clue and was planning to" Shen Rui thought of a person from some internal officials. Historically, there were "eight tigers" of eunuchs in the early period of Zhengde, and "three tigers" in the later period. These three pictures do not include Zhang Yong, but Zhang Xiong, the eunuch of the ceremony, Zhang Rui, the eunuch of the Dongchang, and Zhang Zhong, the eunuch of the imperial horse. In history, Zhang Zhong also accepted generous gifts from King Ning to speak for him. After King Ning rebelled, Zhang Zhong instigated Wuzong to go on a personal expedition. Later, he was in trouble with Wang Shouren for meritorious service - the one who allowed King Ning to be released was captured by Wuzong again. It was this person who came up with the bad idea. Now, Zhang Zhong has not shown his relationship with Ning Fan publicly, but Shen Rui has always been paying close attention. Shen Rui paid attention to him not because of Ning Fan, but because he had a popular brother in his hometown, Wen'an, Zhili - Zhang Mao. According to the Ming history written by later generations, Zhang Zhong once introduced the Jiangyang thief Zhang Mao into the Leopard Room and played Cuju with Emperor Wuzong. In fact, what this Jiangyang thief is famous for in history is not this Cuju, but his subordinates: Liu Liu, Liu Qi, and Yang Hu. That¡¯s right, they were Liu Liu, Liu Qi and Yang Hu in the famous uprising that swept through several provinces during the Zhengde period in history. There was no civil uprising in the sixth year of Zhengde, and these people are still working hard in Wen'an. In order not to alert others, Shen Rui did not go to exterminate them. Judging from the current situation, those who have the ability to secretly sneak Ning Fan's young master and others out of the capital and escort them back to Jiangxi thousands of miles away are the most suspect. While they were talking here, Liu Zhong quietly came in and reported something to the little emperor. Brother Shou's face obviously darkened, and he said coldly: "I didn't recruit them into the palace. Who recruited them? Who did they go to? Who are you kneeling to me at this time?" He glanced around. After passing the important ministers, he said without hesitation, "The Marquis of Shouning and the Marquis of Jianchang knelt outside the palace at the special time when you were all here." color. "I don't blame everyone for being disgusted. This family has never done many good things. And there are people present who have a quarrel with him. Mr. Li Ge had intended to marry his granddaughter to Shen Jin, but it didn't work out for various reasons, but he was made his son-in-law by the Zhang family, which made Mr. Li quite resentful; The girl was pushed into the river and almost lost her life; this girl is now Shen Rui's wife, and the Shen family has a real feud with the Zhang family for a life. However, the people inside didn¡¯t pay attention, but the people outside didn¡¯t stop. I could only hear Zhang Heling's slightly old and sad voice coming into the palace: "Your Majesty, it's all my brothers who were temporarily deceived by lard and deceived by the traitor "I was thinking of the Emperor wholeheartedly, but I got things done. Damn it, I plead guilty, but this has nothing to do with the Queen Mother" "The Queen Mother is the Emperor's biological mother. The Emperor should not hurt the relationship between mother and son for outsiders, Your Majesty" With his status, let alone the little chamberlains, Liu Zhong also went over to stop him from shouting. In the palace, Brother Shou sneered and said to Liu Zhong: "Go and ask him, why do you think of me when you adopt a clan son?" Did he think that I would not have any flesh and blood? What did he do to be so sure? " These words were heartbreaking. Liu Zhong knelt down at that time, with his forehead close to the ground. How could he dare to say such words. Even the ministers in the cabinet couldn't help but said: "The emperor's words are serious. ¡± It was Li Dongyang, the chief assistant, who stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Marquis Shouning may have made a big mistake, but one thing he said is right. Now, we cannot hurt the mother-son relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor!" Prince Ning was making a fuss over there. The emperor is an adopted child, and the emperor immediately attacks the queen mother and uncle. Isn't that proof to others! Now, even if you are pretending, you have to pretend to be a loving mother and a filial son! Li Dongyang turned around and suddenly asked Shen Rui: "Do you think it's right, Minister Shen?" The governor of Henan couldn't say anything about the Tian family's mother and son, but the Minister of Rites could. Li Dongyang picked Shen Rui not only because of his position, but also because of the enmity between the Shen family and the Zhang family. It's not that Li Dongyang doesn't hate the Zhang family, but in his opinion, not only can the Zhang family not collapse now, but even if Ning Fan is defeated, the Zhang family should not be liquidated immediately, lest another vassal king imitates the same thing and takes advantage of this matter. Talk. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????. Therefore, what he said was to remind Shen Rui that for the sake of peace tomorrow, he should put aside his grudges and don't add insult to injury. These words made Shen Rui quite unhappy. Being generous and unwilling to take revenge is completely different from being morally kidnapped and forcing you not to take revenge. ¡° Even if the Shen family had settled the grudge, they wouldn¡¯t have spoken out about it now and carried the sedan chair to your righteous Mr. Li Ge. Therefore, he only said coldly: "I don't dare to make arrogant opinions. Mencius said, it is a sin to speak of a high position for a low position." Wang Hua immediately protected his disciple, took over the words, and said: "Old minister is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. The beginning of this sentence You should ask the old minister, or ask Jiang Mian, the Minister of Rites." Shen Rui's heart was still tense, and he only looked at the master with gratitude. Wang Hua's face softened a little, and he nodded slightly to indicate that he was there. Afraid. Li Dongyang didn't seem to be offended at all, so he asked Wang Hua: "Wang Ge, what do you think is right?" Wang Hua and his son were preparing to fight against King Ning in the south, and he didn't want to cause trouble at this time. He immediately saluted Brother Shou and said: "I shouldn't comment on the affairs of the Tian family, but I will say a few more words because of my age. I hope the emperor will think twice and put state affairs first." Brother Shou watched them with cold eyes as they quarreled back and forth. Hearing this, he smiled sarcastically and asked Li Dongyang, "Does the old gentleman have any tips for deepening the relationship between mother and son?" Li Dongyang took a deep breath and said: "Zhang Hao has rebelled and is now on the run. His marriage to the Marquis of Jianchang is inevitable. After that, I ask the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to choose a good son-in-law for the Marquis of Jianchang. "It's easy to accept bribes from Ning Fan. When Ning Fan came to Beijing, he also gave gifts to his family relatives. As the uncle of the state, he accepted some. Gifts are human nature. As long as you firmly deny the matter of speaking for Ning Fan, and donate the money collected as military pay for the crusade against Ning Fan, this matter can be covered up. But one thing was that everyone knew that the eldest daughter of the Jianchang Hou Mansion was engaged to Zhang Hao. After the news of Ning Fan's rebellion came, Zhang Hao disappeared together with Ning Fan's people. Later, it was also revealed that it was Zhang Hao who stole the seal and wrote a letter in Shen Li's name to invite Ning Fan's young master to be the chief minister of the Ancestral Temple. That Zhang Kuo is a traitor, and the evidence is conclusive. ??The Marquis of Jianchang had arranged the marriage with great fanfare at the beginning, so as to show off his abilities. With Tanhualang as his son-in-law, it was now difficult to completely clear away the charge of being a treason against the vassal. "But if the emperor and the queen mother grant a marriage to the Jianchanghou Mansion, it means that the Jianchanghou Mansion was deceived in the first place, and the royal family did not blame it, so it is not a treason and rebellion. "The Emperor and the Queen Mother jointly granted marriage to the Queen Mother's niece, which also showed that the Tian family mother and son had a deep relationship and tried to break the rumors. Shen Rui couldn't help but laugh sarcastically. The idea was a good one, but if any family got involved in this marriage, they would be in trouble for eight lifetimes. It was still a marriage given by the emperor, so they couldn't disobey the decree. He couldn¡¯t help but think of Shen Jin, the unlucky guy, whose marriage was granted by the Queen Mother. Thinking of the Zhang family's plan against the Shen family, I couldn't help but feel angry. I almost wanted to ridicule Li Dongyang, "It's true that the knife didn't hit you, but you don't know how painful it is?" ! Such a bad idea will harm people! "I don't want to," Li Dongyang said, "I want to ask for the marriage of the grandson of the Kong family to the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Jianchang." Everyone present was shocked. Li Dongyang¡¯s grandson? the Kongs? That's Duke Yansheng's Mansion! ! ? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If it hadn¡¯t been for his nephew, the emperor would not have used the two giant Buddhas, the Chief Assistant and the Holy Duke Nayan, as guarantees for the Zhang family. Who else would touch the Zhang family! Shen Rui secretly felt ashamed at first, but fortunately he didn't really sneer out loud just now. But then I remembered that Li Dongyang¡¯s daughter who was married to Kong Wenshao, the current Yanshenggong, was dead and had no heirs. Where did the grandson come from?ah? ! At that time, Shen Rui was still serving as a political candidate in Shandong. Because it was a white matter in Duke Yansheng¡¯s mansion, and the daughter of the pavilion was missing, all the local officials had the honor to go to express their condolences. Shen Rui also came to pay homage in person. I remember hearing someone say that since the couple had no heirs, not even a concubine or a concubine, and it involved the inheritance of the Dukedom of Yansheng, the position of the filial son in front of the deceased would rather be left empty Not everyone present knew about this matter. It seems that they were all polite in the beginning. Fei Hong asked again, "I wonder which grandson of Mr. Ge is this?" He was once the Minister of Rites. Due to the different status of Duke Yansheng's mansion, Li's White House Rites also sent someone there. Li Dongyang's face did not change and he said calmly: "The son of the Confucius family is also the grandson of an old minister, so I want to decide for him the youngest daughter of the Jianchanghou Mansion." Logically speaking, Li Dongyang is willing to sacrifice his reputation to become the Jianchanghou Mansion at this time. The government acted as a guarantor to stabilize public opinion and ensure that the emperor's throne was stable. It can be said that he was a rare loyal minister who devoted himself to public service and took the overall situation into consideration. However, since they are not direct relatives after all, and Kong Wenshao has not yet remarried, there is no way to talk about this grandson, and the Zhang family's daughter is also vague, as long as Jianchang Marquis can still have a child, this "yao daughter" "Female" is not sure which one it is. Therefore, this marriage contract is just an empty talk, more like a politician's method to deceive the spectators. At this moment, Shen Rui just felt extremely bored. Seeing everyone thinking about their own plans, Brother Shou looked sarcastic as if watching a show. Shen Rui cleared his throat slightly, bowed forward and said, "I have a low position, so I shouldn't listen to this. I got a clue when I was interrogating criminals, and now I invite the emperor." Xu Chenhui and the Jin Yiwei went out to hunt down the remaining traitors. Brother Shou immediately put his face aside, pondered for a moment, and asked Shen Rui seriously: "What is your uncle doing now? He was originally a minister of the Imperial Academy in Nanjing, but now he is also here at the Hanlin Academy." There is one less official to be lectured on during the banquet" "To be an official on the daily is the job that all Hanlins dream of. No matter how many people break their heads to grab it, there will be "one less". ????????????????????????? Brother Shou¡ I haven¡¯t held a sutra feast in a few years. Shen Rui knew that Brother Shou was here to appease him, so he couldn't help but sigh. After bowing solemnly, he said solemnly: "I have great love from the emperor. However, my uncle failed to train his eldest brother to become a Jinshi. He deeply regretted it, so he determined to teach and educate people." He said that he wanted to cultivate more useful people for the Ming Dynasty, either as Jinshi or people, who could be pastors and guards, or as skilled craftsmen and doctors who could benefit the people of the place. " "Uncle teaches ministers, the Shen family only does it. A loyal minister will only do things that benefit the Ming Dynasty and benefit the people. I also ask the emperor to fulfill my uncle's ambition." These words are sonorous and powerful. Brother Shou's face softened completely, he sighed, nodded seriously and said: "The Shen family is full of loyal people, I know that." He paused, then suddenly raised his voice and said: "Shen Rui, you are allowed to join the Jinyi Guards Go out of the city to pursue the rebels. In addition, you and Zhao Hongze will be sent to lead the advance guard towards Nanjing. Zhang Yong and Zuo Dudu Zhu Hui will lead the troops towards Jiangxi and destroy the feudal lord's nest." He stood up with his head held high and declared loudly: "I will personally unite the Sixth Division and fight from heaven!" "Your Majesty!" As soon as Shou Ge finished speaking, several pavilion elders tried to dissuade him. Only then did you dispel the idea of ??going to the northern prisoner. ! Brother Shou immediately darkened his face, "What's the matter? Going to the border, the ministers said it was dangerous and wouldn't let me go. Now it's not dangerous to go to the south!" Li Dongyang advised: "Although we have arranged heavy troops, Ning Fan There are a lot of spies. If a murderer breaks out and hurts someone on the road" Brother Shou said directly: "There is Zhang Hui." Zhang Hui had no choice but to say: "Jin Yiwei will protect your majesty even if he dies" He is in charge of the household department. Wang Hua advised again: "How much national money is spent on a thousand-mile expedition, and it will inevitably waste people and money when traveling to the local area" Brother Shou sneered, nodded and called Liu Zhong: "Go, you go ask those two of my relatives who are kneeling outside. Uncle, they said that their nephew is going to be a charioteer for the military expedition, and he still lacks some military pay. I asked them if they would be willing to supplement it by one or two." After saying that, he turned around and smiled at everyone, showing his white teeth, but his eyes were shining, almost every word. He said: "I want to lead the expedition myself." * It's easier to do things if you have money. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After we have taken possession of the vassal of a rebellious family, and found the lair of a great thief who has troubled the place for many years, the treasury within the treasury has become rich again. ? And the Zhang family, a wealthy relative, expressed their support for their nephew's rebellion, and all the expenses for the imperial conquest were covered by the Shouning Houfu and Jianchanghoufu. ¡ª¡ªThis also proves from another direction that the adoption theory is pure nonsense, and the Zhang family has never colluded with Nifan. Therefore, this expeditionFood, grass, ordnance and all military supplies were purchased very quickly. Brother Shou was extremely impatient. He couldn't wait any longer. He didn't care about the Ministry of Rites turning over the old calendar to prepare for the emperor's personal expedition. In order to comply with the cumbersome etiquette, he directly issued an order to "Governor-General Military Affairs, Mighty General, Chief Soldier, Rear Army, Dudufu, Taishi" "Zhen Guo Gong Zhu Shou" - that is, himself, commanded all the armies to advance and suppress the rebel vassal. On the sixth day of July, troops were sent south. At this time, Shen Rui and his party, as the outpost vanguard officer, had already entered the border of Shandong. While annihilating Zhang Mao and his gang in Wen'an County, Bazhou, Shen Rui discovered that they were indeed a secret move planted by Ning Fan. Mr. Li, who was in charge of Ning Fan's affairs in the capital, originally planned to wait for King Ning to send his army to the north. This group of bandits would directly attack the capital and cause chaos to respond to King Ning. He did not want the advisers around King Ning to make a move and let King Ning go to Nanjing to ascend the throne first. . These people in the north, including the young master who was said to be the most beloved by King Ning, all became abandoned sons. Mr. Xiao Li could not sit still and wait for death, so he activated the thieves. The thieves secretly took them out in a mezzanine delivery vehicle, preparing to escort them to Nanjing to join Prince Ning. Because Zhang Zhong was not arrested and exposed, Zhang Mao was emboldened and thought that he could not be found at all. He only asked his subordinates Liu Liu, Liu Qi and others to escort the people away without following him, so he fell into the hands of Shen Rui. Liu Liu and Liu Qi have been running away for a long time, and they are afraid that they have already left the border of Beizhili. Shen Rui reported to the capital and asked Liu Zhong to quickly arrest Zhang Zhong and his party, because they were in charge of the Royal Horse Prison and they should not cause more trouble. On the one hand, he sent an urgent letter to Wan Dongjiang and Tian Shun, asking them to mobilize all their black and white connections to conduct a detailed investigation across Shandong and Henan, and be sure to catch this group of people. Because the army took the canal by boat and did not pass through Jinan Prefecture, even though Linqing was not far from Jinan Prefecture, and even though Shen Rui had not seen his wife for nearly a year, let alone his son, he still had military orders. I had no choice but to pass through the door without entering. He has written to Yang Tian, ??asking her not to go to Beijing to attend to Sister Fu's marriage for the time being. Because there was a royal chariot going on a personal expedition, You Consort and You Xuan had to accompany them, so the wedding had to be postponed again. Shen Rui also told Yang Tian about Shenzhou's arrangements for Brother Xiaonan, and asked her to tell He and her son that as soon as the war in the south calmed down, he would send someone to pick them up and return to Songjiang Mansion together to create a genealogy for their children. Yang Tian wrote back and said that He originally thought that Shen Zhou would not adopt brother Xiao Nan, but seeing that brother Xiao Nan was getting older and closer to being a boy, Mrs. He couldn't help but feel anxious. It's just that it's hard to talk about this with Yang Tian, ??and I secretly feel that with the kindness that Yang Tian's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Xu family treat her, she will not be in trouble. After all, she can be given the status of a side branch of the Shen family, so that the child will not be unable to give birth. field. I didn¡¯t expect Shen Zhou to have such an arrangement. Mrs. He was so surprised that she burst into tears. She led Brother Xiao Nan towards the capital and kowtowed repeatedly. Shen Rui sighed after reading the letter. There was no words to say all the way, and soon we entered Yanzhou Mansion. The prefect, Ding Huanzhi, was extremely qualified. He had already prepared supplies for the labor force and was waiting for Shen Rui at the ferry. However, Shen Rui didn't wait to hear Ding Huanzhi's report on the military situation in the south and the local people's livelihood. He first received the urgent letter from Shunfeng Biaoxing. Something happened in the Shen clan of Songjiang Prefecture!
