    Yu Ren naturally understood the meaning of Zhao Nanxing's last few words.  He must be a military commander.  The current situation in the capital is critical, and when it is time to use force, he, who is praised by the people as the first general of the new dynasty, will certainly not be able to live in peace and quiet.  So he can still stay at home for a while, but it¡¯s just because no one knows that he has returned to Beijing yet.  If the big shots in the court had known that he had returned to Beijing, Yu Ren estimated that they would have sent someone to invite him, and they would have left him free.  Although he has no official position and is light-weighted, he must still be here under the pretense of being a prince-in-law!  Naturally, he could no longer hide from such an important moment that related to the country and the country.  Yu Ren thought of this and hurriedly said goodbye to Zhao Peng and went home.  He now cherishes time with his family.  Now that Zhao Nanxing was out and there was nothing urgent to do for the time being, he planned to go home and stay.  Looking at his wife and coaxing his children is a rare happiness for him.  Not far away from Zhao Mansion, Yu Ren heard someone shouting from behind.  "Is that Prince Consort Yu in front of you?" Yu Ren was a little surprised. Not many people knew him in Beijing, and the voice was very strange.  Yu Ren turned around and saw a small sedan parked a few steps behind him. An old man in his sixties walked out of the sedan.  Outside the sedan door, a eunuch in his forties was reaching out to help the old man out of the sedan.  Judging from the clothes, this eunuch should be the eunuch on duty in the palace, and his status is not low.  Yu Ren was very confused when he saw this situation.  You know, although the official status of the eunuchs in the Forbidden City is very low, no matter how low they are, they are still people around the emperor. Those who can enjoy their services must at least be princes. Even these people can only do so in special times.  Enjoy it once or twice.  Even Zhao Nanxing, although he is now the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the leader of the Donglin Party, has not enjoyed this kind of treatment.  The old man in front of him was actually able to enjoy such treatment, and judging from his natural movements, it was obvious that this was not the first time he had enjoyed such treatment.  ¡°If Yu Ren hadn¡¯t known that the current emperor was a young man under twenty, he would have really suspected that the emperor in front of him was paying a private visit incognito.  But, if he is not the emperor, who is this old man?  A big question mark suddenly appeared in Yu Ren's mind.  The old man stepped out of the sedan with the help of the eunuch, then let go of the eunuch's hand, cupped his hands to Yu Ren and said, "Zhisheng just arrived at Zhao's house. He heard that Yu's consort had just left, so he hurried here. The country is in danger now, so it's presumptuous for me to do so."  I hope the prince-in-law will not be surprised." Yu Ren couldn't help but become more confused when he heard the other party's name.  "Zhi Sheng?" This should be the old man's word.  The old man didn't call himself by his own name but called him by his surname. This was because he wanted to get closer to himself. This way of signing up by calling himself a font size was generally only called this way among peers.  It can be seen that this old man is quite polite to Yu Ren. Although he has a high status and is old, he does not seem to regard himself as an elder at all.  This gave Yu Ren a good first impression of him.  However, although the impression was good, Yu Ren still didn¡¯t know who it was at this time.  While Yu Ren was confused, Zhao Peng trotted over.  He first saluted the old man and called himself his nephew, then hurriedly walked up to Yu Ren and said to him quietly, "This is the teacher of the current emperor, Master Sun." Yu Ren understood everything at once.  It turns out that the old man in front of him is Sun Chengzong, the great scholar and imperial master who just asked someone to call Zhao Nanxing over.  No wonder he can enjoy such services that even princes cannot easily enjoy!  With the identity of this old man, if he comes to invite you in person like this, he must have something important to ask for.  You know, with his status, even if he asked Zhao Nanxing, he would just send someone to spread the word.  But when Yu Ren was invited, he came to the door in person.  This can only mean that he has something to ask Yu Ren, and it is definitely not an ordinary thing.  Therefore, after listening to Zhao Peng's words, Yu Ren was not proud, but frowned.  The way Zhao Peng looked at Yu Ren was obviously filled with admiration.  How could Zhao Peng not admire someone who could have Master Sun come to invite him in person? What's more, Yu Ren is still so young.  Sun Chengzong saw Yu Ren frowning, but he did not hesitate. Instead, he stepped forward, took Yu Ren's hand, and boarded a carriage with him following the sedan, as if he was afraid that Yu Ren would run away.  "Let's go. Your Majesty asked Zhisheng to invite the consort to discuss the plan together." Yu Ren heard that the emperor invited him, so of course he did not dare to reject it.  Although he didn't really want to go.  Sun Chengzong took Yu Ren to the palace.  I saw Emperor Tianqi in the side hall.  This is the second time Yu Ren sees the new emperor Zhu Youxiao.  The first time I met the emperor was when Yu Ren got married and accompanied Princess Zhu Yueyue to the capital to express her gratitude.  At that time, the emperor was aloof and looked like a saint worshiped by thousands of people.  At this time, he was walking around the room, looking anxious.?His impetuous youthful nature is clearly revealed.  Sun Chengzong walked to the door of the side hall and saw Emperor Zhu Youzhen pacing back and forth anxiously in the room with his hands behind his back, and he couldn't help coughing.  Although the emperor was respected by millions of people, in Sun Chengzong's eyes, he was also his student.  Seeing his student being so out of control, of course he wanted to give a warning.  It's just that you can't say this in front of outsiders, otherwise it will damage the emperor's reputation.  However, when Zhu Youxiao heard the teacher's cough and saw his eyes, he immediately understood what the teacher meant.  Seeing the teacher¡¯s eyes, Zhu Jianxiao returned to the center of the room and sat back on the big chair that belonged to him.  Yu Ren then hurriedly stepped forward, preparing to kowtow to Colonel Zhu Jian.  Although he was very unaccustomed to such etiquette and customs, he had to follow the local customs and do as others did.  What's more, the person sitting on it at this time is the emperor.  When Zhu Youxiao saw Yu Ren was about to bow down, he quickly pulled him up.  "Why does the prince-in-law need to meet outside? You and I brothers don't have to pay this big gift." After saying that, Zhu Youxiao helped Yu Ren sit down on the chair next to him.  When Yu Ren saw Zhu Youxiao suddenly being so polite to him, his heart tightened even more.  You know, the last time he saw Zhu Youxiao, he accepted his kneel down without any courtesy at all.  But this time, he only bent down and was helped up.  It seems that things will definitely be tricky this time!  Yu Ren thought like this, but did not take the initiative to ask, but looked around.  At this time, there were about a dozen ministers sitting in the side hall, including his father-in-law Zhao Nanxing. Sitting with Zhao Nanxing was the chief minister of the cabinet Ye Xianggao, and Sun Chengzong also sat down at this time.  "I heard that the Jurchens sent troops south again. Does the prince-in-law have any clever plans to fend off the enemy?" Zhu Youxiao saw Yu Ren sitting down without speaking, and finally lost his temper and took the initiative.  Yu Ren was slightly surprised after hearing this.  He really didn't expect the Jurchens to be so bold.  He had made such a big move behind them, yet they still dared to divide their forces and go south.  "How many soldiers and horses are there?" "About five thousand." Sun Chengzong asked.  Yu Ren¡¯s nervous mood suddenly relaxed.  It turned out that there were only 5,000 people. He thought Nurhaci had left in full force again!  With Shanhaiguan as a natural and powerful pass, it is natural to resist the Jurchens' five thousand cavalry.  But looking at the expressions of Zhu Youxiao and everyone around him, they were obviously frightened.  However, this is not surprising. After all, none of them have ever really fought against the Jurchens. They have only seen that the Jurchens and the Ming Dynasty's army fought several times with less and more, and they all won easily, especially  In the recent battle, the Jurchens defeated Wang Huazhen almost without a fight.  After Wang Huazhen was defeated and returned to the pass, the defeated soldiers and generals, in order to shirk the responsibility for the defeat, naturally inevitably turned the Jurchens into ghosts and made them as terrifying and invincible as demons.  "As a result, those who have not actually fought against the Jurchens on the battlefield are affected by such remarks, and they think that the Jurchens are so terrifying that they are invincible.  This is also the fundamental reason why the entire capital has been enveloped in an atmosphere of panic in the past two months.  And under the influence of this overall atmosphere, the young emperor would naturally be affected by it.  And those civil servants who didn't know how to fight had already lost the courage to fight.  However, Yu Ren has fought against the Jurchens many times, and he knows very well how strong the Jurchens are.  He heard that there were only 5,000 Jurchen cavalry coming, and there were at least 200,000 troops stationed within a hundred miles of the capital in Daming Pass, so he was not worried at all.  "There are only five thousand people, so there should be no problem. How many troops are currently stationed in Shanhaiguan for defense?" Yu Ren asked.
