    Hearing Zhou Zhong ask about Zhengde, Jiao Fang and others showed a bit of a wry smile. Finally, Wang Qiong said: "Qi Jianguo, Your Majesty, for some unknown reason, walks very slowly on the road this time, especially in Shanghai.  After landing, he drank and had fun on the road every day, and even invited some women to accompany him. It was really unseemly. I hope the supervisor can send a letter to advise him!" Zhou Chong was not surprised when he heard Zhengde's behavior.  , Prince Ning's rebellion hit Masanori very hard. After all, he had always regarded Prince Ning as one of his relatives, but now he was betrayed by this relative. This made Masanori, who always valued feelings, very difficult to accept, so he did this  So many unusual behaviors.  "Brother Huang is in a bad mood and will inevitably do some excessive things. Everyone should be considerate of him. In addition, if Brother Huang causes any trouble or loss to the place on the road, he will be compensated twice as much afterwards. I will also give the Emperor  Brother, write a letter and ask him not to disturb the people too much. I believe that as long as this period of time passes, he will return to normal!" Zhou Zhong finally sighed.  After discussing the matter with the cabinet, Zhou Zhong asked Wu Shan to be found. Some time ago, Qian Ning colluded with King Ning and was dismissed from the position of commander of the Jinyi Guards. So Wu Shan took over the Jinyiwei. In fact, Qian Ning followed  After Zhengde left the capital, Wu Shan had been in charge of the Jinyiwei, and now it was just an additional legitimate position.  "See you, Your Majesty!" Wu Shan entered the room and saw Zhou Zhong, and immediately lowered his head and saluted.  "Get up, how are the arrangements for the guards around the emperor?" Zhou Zhong asked without raising his head. The Jin Yiwei was originally divided into two parts, and one part was what ordinary people saw as the Jin Yiwei.  Now after weeks of rectification.  It has been completely transformed into an intelligence agency.  The other group is called the Han generals. They belong to the emperor's bodyguards and usually serve as a guard of honor. They are also escorted by these people when Zhengde travels. Now Zhou Chong is asking about the situation of the Han generals.  "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have arranged for many brothers who are proficient in water skills to follow Your Majesty, and I will try not to let Your Majesty go to places with water. In addition, every time Jiang Bin meets His Majesty, there are also a few good guys secretly guarding him.  There will definitely be no mistakes!" Wu Shan replied solemnly, although he didn't know why His Highness King Zhao asked him to arrange some highly skilled brothers to protect His Majesty?  I don¡¯t know why I asked His Majesty not to go to the waterside?  But as long as he accepts the order, he will never say a word about other things that he shouldn't ask.  "Well done!" Zhou Zhong nodded with satisfaction. Although history has been tampered with beyond recognition, some major historical events remain the same, such as King Ning's rebellion and Zhengde's southern inspection. Moreover, Zhou  Chong also knew that Zhengde was visiting Nanjing during his southern tour.  He accidentally fell into the water and died of an illness, and Zhengde's death was very strange.  Zhengde, who had always been as strong as an ox, unexpectedly fell into the water and contracted an illness, and was dying. Even the time of his death could not be determined. He only knew that Jiang Bin was by his side at the time. Unfortunately, Jiang Bin was also killed later, and no one knew anymore.  How did Zhengde die?  Knowing this, after Zhou Zhong knew that Zhengde had gone to Nanjing, he immediately sent many more guards, especially some who were proficient in water properties, and were not allowed to leave Zhengde even half a step, although Zhou Zhong didn't know if it would be useful.  , but this is the only thing he can do.  "By the way, how are the Tatars in the north doing now? Do they still have the strength to resist?" Zhou Zhong suddenly thought of Zhengde leaving the northern frontier army and was worried that the Tatars would take this opportunity to cause chaos, so he asked.  In the past, Jin Yiwei's power was only within the Ming Dynasty, and there was no big deployment to the outside world. However, with Zhou Zhong's rectification of Jin Yiwei, his strength has expanded to various countries around the Ming Dynasty, even India and Egypt.  The eyeliner they develop.  "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Tatars have attacked my Ming army several times before, but all ended in defeat. Now the prestige of the little Tatar prince has dropped to the lowest level. The leaders of several large tribes are very dissatisfied with the little Tatar prince.  Now they are discussing to seize the throne of the little prince. Regarding this situation, our Jin Yiwei has also contributed some efforts, so the leaders of the big tribes are more confident. It won't be long before a war breaks out within the Tatars.  The little Tatar prince is also having a headache over this matter, and there is no way he can go south!" Wu Shan said confidently. In the internal struggle of the Tatars, their Jin Yiwei contributed a lot, and they could see this powerful enemy of the Ming Dynasty being played by him.  Under the palm of his hand, this made Wu Shan also feel very excited.  "Very good, Tatar has been in decline under the attack of Ming Dynasty, and I heard that the little prince of Tatar also has health problems. If the little prince of Tatar can die at this time, his few  My son will definitely start to fight for the throne. Coupled with the leaders of the big tribes, the whole Tatar will be in chaos. I, the Ming Dynasty, will take advantage of the situation and speed up the encroachment on the grassland. I believe it won¡¯t be long before the entire grassland will be included.  Under my rule, Ming Dynasty!" Zhou Chong heard.Li nodded with satisfaction again. As long as the border troubles in the north are resolved, Ming can fully explore the sea and compete with Western countries for colonies around the world. With Ming's national power, I believe that no country can be Ming's opponent.  Next, Zhou Zhong asked about the specific situation within the Tatars, and then gave some instructions on the Jinyiwei's next steps to better cooperate with the Ming Dynasty's encroachment on the grasslands. Finally, he asked about the Ottoman Empire, to be precise.  It's the situation on the Suez Canal. Among the technical officers and entourage sent to Egypt, some are Jin Yiwei's spies. In addition to measuring the canal, they also need to collect local intelligence. After all, with the development speed of the Ming Dynasty, maybe with  In a few years, the Suez Canal will become their next target, so be prepared now.  At the same time, Zhengde finally arrived in Nanjing, and just like in history, he was very disappointed when he learned that King Ning had been captured, and was even a little dissatisfied with Wu Wending and others. Jiang Bin and others were aware that  After realizing Zhengde's thoughts, he boldly arrested Wu Wending, and then snatched away Prince Ning and other prisoners as well.  Zhengde did not stop the misbehavior of Jiang Bin and others, but he also had a sense of proportion. Although Wu Wending and others were arrested, nothing would happen to them. At most, they would be locked up for a few days to calm Zhengde's anger, and he would still reward them based on their merits in the future.  , As for the prisoners like King Ning, Zhengde also arranged a very famous show for them, which was the farce in history where King Ning was released and then captured personally.  Zhengde was very dissatisfied with King Ning being caught by others, because he felt that only by catching him personally could he be relieved. Unfortunately, before he arrived in Nanjing, King Ning had already been captured by Wu Wending and others.  Moreover, the prisoners were also sent to Nanjing. In this case, some villains around Zhengde came up with a bad idea, which was to ask Zhengde to put King Ning back, and wait until the other party reintegrated the rebels, and then Zhengde personally went to quell the rebellion.  Rebel.  Although Masanori was very excited about this idea, fortunately he was still somewhat rational and knew that if he really did this, he would definitely leave a big joke for the ages. Therefore, Masanori did not fully adopt this suggestion, but chose  A compromise with relatively low impact.  When Prince Ning and other prisoners of war were sent to Nanjing, they were not immediately put into prison. Instead, their shackles were removed, and they were put on horses with weapons, and then sent to the encirclement of the Ming army. Finally, Zhengde took him with him  The personal guards of Nanjing were also wearing armor and fighting against King Ning. King Ning was almost angry to death. He was not a military commander in the first place. Most of the prisoners sent to Nanjing were also civil servants. Zhengde actually asked them to take up arms.  Fighting, this is simply more uncomfortable than killing them.  This farce naturally ended with Zhengde once again capturing all Ning Wang and others, and then all these "prisoners of war" captured by Zhengde personally were sent to prison in Nanjing. No one was allowed to visit, but only  There is one exception, and this person is Zhu Houzhao himself.  Since King Ning and others were imprisoned, Zhu Houzhao has entered the prison several times, and no one is allowed to accompany him each time, not even Jiang Bin, so no one knows what Zhu Houzhao did after entering the prison. However,  According to later generations' speculation, Zhu Houzhao should have gone to see Prince Ning when he entered the prison. As for what the two of them said?  Did Zhu Houzhao scold King Ning and other issues?  That is not something for future generations to guess.  At the end of the month when King Ning was sent to Nanjing, Zhengde ordered people to behead King Ning and others in Tongzhou. This Tongzhou was not Tongzhou in the north, but Tongzhou next to Nanjing, which was also called Nantongzhou in the later secular name, and next to Beijing.  Beitongzhou echoes each other from a distance.  After King Ning and others were beheaded, it also marked that King Ning's rebellion was completely put down. However, Zhengde did not return to Beijing immediately, but still stayed in the south for fun. Speaking of which, he had visited the south once last time in order to recognize Zhou Zhong.  , but that time he was with Empress Dowager Zhang and had something to do, so he came and went in a hurry, and had no chance to appreciate the customs of various places in the south. In addition, the north was now peaceful, and Zhengde was depressed due to the rebellion of King Ning, so  I just took this opportunity to go sightseeing and relax.  It is precisely because of this that Zhengde stayed in Nanjing for a while. After traveling on both sides of the Qinhuai River, he began to travel around. He did not even plan to go back during the New Year. In this way, he stayed in the south until September of the next year.  On this day, Zhengde came to Qingjiangpu area, and on a whim, he planned to fish in the pond. Although the guards on both sides tried to persuade him, Zhengde refused to listen and started fishing in a small boat.  (To be continued)
