    The room was eerily quiet. Song Nan was pacing back and forth. The candlelight reflected his figure moving back and forth on the wall. Zhang Yong's eyes followed Song Nan's figure and he didn't dare to make the slightest sound. He knew  Song Nan is thinking about how to deal with this matter. This is a major event related to the fate of everyone, and there cannot be any negligence or mistakes.  ¡Æ But one thing Zhang Yong knew in his heart was that Song Nan would never let the situation develop. Zhu Houcong was not the candidate in Song Nan's mind at all, and Song Nan would never sit back and watch Zhu Houcong sit on the throne of the world.  Song Nan's heart was boiling with thoughts. Although Zhang Yong only told the general story of the matter, Song Nan had already figured out the whole story. Judging from the current situation, Zhengde was probably hopeless. The emperor was on his deathbed.  He has led troops to go on an expedition. This is the best time for Yang Tinghe to exert his strength.  It is still unknown how Yang Tinghe persuaded the Queen Mother, but the fact is already obvious. Yang Tinghe and the Queen Mother have reached an understanding with each other, and this so-called edict is clear evidence.  The reason why Zhengde was moved from Qianqing Palace to Yangxin Palace was because of the order of the Queen Mother. To a certain extent, this was a hijacking of Zhengde. All the guards in the palace were replaced, and all the people around the emperor were replaced.  Even Zhang Yong, the chief official of the inner court, could not see the emperor freely. This was precisely the need to convey the imperial edict through the mouth of the emperor.  This edict should be announced publicly after Zhengde's funeral. By then everything will have been settled. If anyone dares to object again, it will be against the edict. Even Song Nan is at his wits' end.  However, Zhang Yong's departure from the capital is a variable. If Yang Tinghe and the Queen Mother knew that Zhang Yong had left the capital, they would definitely suspect that the news had been leaked. If they were aware of this, they would most likely announce the edict in advance, before they arrived in the capital.  After finalizing the matter, even if he rushed back to the capital, it would be a done deal.  Song Nan was anxious, but he couldn't reprimand Zhang Yong for his impulsiveness. Zhang Yong must be anxious and scared. He didn't have the means to deal with such a shocking event. The only thing he could think of was to spread the news as soon as possible.  Inform Song Nan and seek Song Nan's protection.  And without Zhang Yong's careful awareness, Song Nan would not have known about this edict until it was announced. By then, it would have been a thunderbolt in the sky and he was caught off guard.  Song Nan warned herself to calm down. What she needed to do now was to rush back to the capital as soon as possible. She also prayed that Zhengde would hold on and not leave before he returned to the capital. As long as Zhengde still had breath,  Song Nan could ask questions about the imperial edict clearly in person. Even if he couldn't speak, he could make a judgment by just shaking his head and nodding.  If this was a fake edict without Zhengde's consent, Song Nan could justifiably take action and launch thunderous measures for the crime of falsifying the edict.  Song Nan also thought of another question in his mind. What if this posthumous edict was approved by Zhengde?  What to do?  Could it be that he just watched Yang Tinghe win the battle for the imperial heir?  The answer is: That is absolutely impossible. Once Yang Tinghe succeeds, the situation between North Korea and China will be one-sided in the future. Everything he has worked hard for will be in vain, and his rights will disappear overnight.  She is an object of mercy; let alone the ambitions in her heart and the promises she made to others, none of them can be fulfilled.  Song Nan asked in detail about the details of the capital and some circumstances of Zhang Yong's meeting with Zhengde. As expected, he made great discoveries and learned many unknown and secret things. Originally, Song Nan had no idea whether to return to the capital immediately or lead the army.  The army was still hesitant to return to Beijing, but after learning these things, Song Nan made a decision.  Song Nan, who was pacing and thinking hard, suddenly stood up and shouted outside the door: "Wang Yong, immediately summon the two princes Jiang Bin, Xu Tai, and Ma Ming and Pengyang to discuss important matters." Wang Yong was in the courtyard.  Li loudly agreed to send the message, and Song Nan called out again: "Li Daniu and Zhao Dapeng, you two immediately gather the soldiers and horses of the Jinyiwei Guards Camp, select 500 fast horses from the army, and be ready to set off. We will set off back in an hour."  "Beijing." Li Daniu and Zhao Dapeng agreed in unison and immediately went to gather troops and choose war horses.  After Xu Taijiang Bin, Pengyang Ma Ming and others arrived, Song Nan announced that he would return to Beijing early. The army was slow to move. It was impossible for Song Nan to follow the army and return to Beijing with Shi Shiran. It would waste too much time.  , Maybe Zhengde will not be able to survive the day when he returns to Beijing.  Song Nan quickly gave some instructions and told several generals that the army should be more careful on the way back to Beijing, cancel the welcome events at the state capital along the way, and return to the capital as quickly as possible.  At the same time, a death order was issued. After returning to Beijing, without an order personally issued by himself, the army was not allowed to disband and return to camp. It must maintain a fighting state at all times to cope with possible crises.  Xu Taijiangbin and others had just heard some superficial information in the front hall. They knew in their hearts that something had happened in the capital. However, Song Nan wanted them to keep fighting, but they were a little confused. Could it be that in the capital?  fight a warSuccess?  Of course, Song Nan would not hide it from them. He told the situation in the capital in a few words. Several close generals were stunned. Looking at the manuscript of the edict, they were speechless for a long time; everything was clear.  This was Yang Tinghe and others trying to resolve a major issue while Song Nan was away from the capital. If they succeeded, Song Nan's status would be in jeopardy, and his confidant generals who were single-handedly promoted by Song Nan would also suffer a blow soon.  However, Song Nan's decision to return to the capital early was opposed by the generals. Xu Tai said: "The Duke of Zhen Guo should return to the capital with the army. If you return to the capital alone, if something happens, wouldn't you throw yourself into a trap? This matter requires  Think twice before you act." Before Song Nan could speak, Jiang Bin said fiercely: "If they dare to touch Brother Song's hair, are the soldiers and horses in our hands vegetarian?  The situation has reached a point of no return, are you willing to fight for the Duke of Zhen? " Who would lose control at this time? Even the slightest hesitation is unavoidable. Xu Tai, Ma Ming and Peng Yang rushed to express their stance.  Song Nan waved his hands and said: "Don't act recklessly. You are not allowed to act rashly without my order. If we refuse to obey the edict after it is announced, we will become rebellious officials and traitors. Then we will fall into the scheme of Yang Ting and them. Besides, I am also in the capital.  I am not alone. I still have tens of thousands of cavalry in Jinyiwei Yamen, and the British Duke Zhang Lun will definitely give me a helping hand. They don't dare to do anything to me. And I can't think about this at the moment, because the most important thing is not me.  It is to find out the truth about this matter and expose their conspiracy." Xu Tai nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. We will speed up the march and try to get back to the capital as soon as possible. I hope you will be safe.  Be careful, anything can happen in the battle for the emperor's heir. Please take care of yourself." Song Nan looked up at the dark night outside the house and said calmly: "I am already in a cage, so what if I am broken into pieces?  Although I have never believed in fate, I can only say at this moment that everything I have done is determined by fate. I can¡¯t escape, so I can only move forward bravely. "" Before dawn, a thousand guards in brocade clothes and fire guns surrounded Song Nan.  On the way back to the capital, he was accompanied by 500 war horses. They were transferred on the road to ensure the speed of the march. After thousands of miles of distance, Song Nan wished he could spread his wings and fly to the capital. He knew that every moment was delayed.  , the situation in the capital became unreliable. Although he spoke calmly in front of Jiang Bin and Xu Tai, he knew very well what kind of complicated and cruel situation he faced when he returned to Beijing this time.  ¡°Perhaps when he arrived in the capital, the situation in the capital was completely under Yang Tinghe¡¯s control, and it was unknown that he would be imprisoned as soon as he entered the capital.  Although this is unlikely because Zhang Lun is still in Beijing, Song Nan has understood the truth over the years. At critical moments, everything can only be relied on by oneself.  If so, he, Song Nan, would probably have died several times long ago.  After three days and three nights of galloping day and night, there were only a few short breaks along the way to let the horses drink water and feed, and to let the guards stretch their bodies that were almost falling apart from the jolts. The rest of the time was spent galloping day and night.  .  Even a thick-skinned guy like Wang Yong had to admit that the Duke of Zhen's endurance was different from ordinary people. He never complained of tiredness along the way, and always straightened his back and was in high spirits. This Duke of Guo  He is an anomaly among the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty. You can never see frustration on his face or hear complaints from his mouth. He may get angry and roar, but he will never fall.  Never give up.  Wang Yong, Li Daniu, Zhao Dapeng and others were originally in a very heavy mood. The future of their return to Beijing was uncertain and they didn't know what would happen. But seeing Song Nan's perseverance and tenacity, everyone felt relieved.  With Song Nan here, is there anything difficult in this world?  On the morning of the third day of March, the morning sun fell on the earth, shining on the green willows that were already dancing on both sides of the wide official road.  On the official road outside the Yongding Gate of Beijing City, a cavalry team covered in dust and looking tired appeared in the sight of the soldiers at the head of the city.  The Qianhu on duty at the gate of the city recognized Song Nan, the Duke of Zhenguo, riding on a big black horse at a glance. Although his bright python robe was covered with loess and the corners of his eyebrows and mouth were covered with black yellow dust,  It cannot cover up the fierce aura of the Duke of Ming Dynasty, nor can it cover up the majesty of the superior.  What's more, he and the other generals guarding the nine gates of the capital were ordered in advance to keep an eye on the traces of Duke Song Nan returning to the capital. Once he returns to the capital, he must report it immediately; as a new recruit, he was transferred to the capital to take charge of the city.  As far as the soldiers and horses of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion are concerned, they only obey the orders of Hui'an Marquis Zhang Wei and Deputy Governor Xinning Marquis Tan You. Even though Song Nan has a thunderous reputation, he is the best among all the troops in the Ming Dynasty.  The object of people's worship cannot change this fact.
