Jiubian, Datong Prefecture.
Yang Yiqing confirmed that it was the Embroidered Uniform Guards and immediately ordered the city gates to be opened.
He was a little curious as to why the Embroidered Uniform Guards would appear at the Nine Edges.
A worried look gradually appeared on Yang Yiqing's face. His brows were furrowed into a deep frown.
"Commander Yang, the Embroidered Uniform Guards are…here to capture someone?”
Yang Yiqing was also a little worried.
At this time, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he was completely clueless about what was happening in the capital. He had no idea what had happened to the Imperial Court.
It was definitely not a good thing for the Embroidered Uniform Guards to appear in Da Tong Prefecture at this time!
Yang Yiqing had offended Empress Dowager Wan in the last years of Chenghua. Could it be that Empress Dowager Wan had come for revenge?
Yang Yiqing wasn't afraid of death, but if he was transferred out of Datong Prefecture, who would protect the land behind him and the Han people raised on it?!
This was what Yang Yiqing worried about.
"It seems that the new emperor's authority has been taken over.”Yang Yiqing muttered in a very weak voice.
He did not want to shake the morale of the army.
In a short while, the four guardians of the Embroidered Uniform Guards had already ascended the city tower and arrived in front of Yang Yiqing.
"I, Yang Yiqing, welcome Your Majesty.”
The Brocade Guard was the emperor's personal army and represented the emperor. Yang Yiqing did not dare to be negligent.
The Azure Dragon was stunned. He stretched out a hand and blocked Yang Yiqing's salute.
"I can't afford it."
After Azure Dragon finished speaking, he threw the head into Yang Yiqing's arms,""Lord Yang, we have been ordered by the Emperor to make a trip to Mobei. The Emperor asked this lowly servant to bring you a big gift, I hope you like it.”
Yang Yiqing opened the package suspiciously.
In an instant!
Yang Yiqing was stunned.
Beside him.
The Datong defenders were stunned.
This was…
The leader of the Tartar Coalition Army!
Ten days ago, he was still clamoring outside Da Tong City to torture and kill the commander of the Han Tartar army!
Dead?
It trembled!
Everyone on the city gate of Datong Prefecture trembled.
The enemy leader was beheaded. As long as he hung his head high up on the city wall, this kind of intimidation would at least ensure that Datong Prefecture would be safe for the next few months! The soldiers…could finally rest.
Yang Yiqing's tiger eyes were filled with tears as he stared blankly at the four Embroidered Uniform Guards." Brothers, you guys…have worked hard!”
Azure Dragon was also stunned.
As the emperor's personal army, the Brocade Guard and the East Chamber were called barbarians. These people were notorious, and the civil officials would always cry for them.
Now that he heard the second-grade Left Qian Imperial Censor Yang Yiqing's sincere praise, his heart was boiling.
"Men! Bring wine to the brothers of the Embroidered Uniform Guards!"
"This old man has guarded the border for many years and has never drunk a drop of wine. Today, this old man is going to break his precepts!”
"Haha, brothers of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, I hope you won't make a big mistake for this old man!”
At this moment, all the officers and soldiers on the city walls of Datong Prefecture respected the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Azure Dragon and the others watched in their hearts. They felt something burning in their hearts like never before.
This sense of recognition made them feel the value of their existence as Embroidered Uniform Guards for the first time. They felt the glory of being the iron-blooded men of the Ming Dynasty!
Perhaps they were the same, the blood flowing in their veins was the hot blood of Da Ming!
"Censor Yang, you have worked hard guarding the border.”
"I have nothing to say, but there is one thing you should know.”
"The capital…has changed!" Azure Dragon said in a very soft voice.”
Swoosh!
Yang Yiqing raised his head and stared at the Azure Dragon.
Azure Dragon nodded without batting an eyelid.
"Hahaha!" A voice that shook the rubble came from Yang Yiqing's mouth," My Emperor! Hooray! Big Ming! How magnificent!"
Yang Yiqing was extremely wise in politics, so how could he not figure out what Azure Dragon meant?
The capital had changed! Great Ming's sky had returned to Emperor Zhu Ming's hands!
The new emperor did not disappoint him!
The first thing you did after ascending the throne was to give this old man a big gift!
If this old man doesn't use all my strength to be loyal to Great Ming and sacrifice my life for Great Ming, this old man will be ashamed of the responsibility that the Emperor has given me!
The Azure Dragon looked at Yang Yiqing deeply." My Emperor is very concerned about the Nine Edges. I don't dare to speak carelessly, but I am sure that what my Emperor wants is not the retreat of the Tartar and Wala allied forces!”
Azure Dragon didn't dare to say anything else. It was enough to send these signals to Yang Yiqing.
If Yang Yiqing was excited and shocked when he saw the head of the Tartar General, then now…his scalp was starting to go numb!
The new emperor didn't want the Tartar and Wala armies to retreat!
What did he want?
What was it?
Destroy the remaining members of Northern Yuan!
"This old man! I'll be loyal to my emperor until death!"
The new emperor is wise and far-sighted. Why should the Ming Dynasty worry about prosperity?!
……
Forbidden City.
Yangxin Palace Hall.
Zhu Youtang looked at the Ming Dynasty leadership team sitting respectfully in front of the hall.
Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, and the other six ministers were all waiting for the emperor to speak.
Whether or not the new emperor was going to be the new emperor, this small court meeting was of utmost importance.
Everyone was looking forward to it. Before they came, they had even privately discussed how the new emperor would govern.
After an unknown amount of time.
Zhu Youtang opened his mouth, but it was a confusing sentence.
"Filial piety begins with serving one's parents.”
"Fu Qing's family, you are the Minister of Rites. Where did these words come from?”
This sudden sentence left the cabinet and the six departments completely confused. They had thought too much about the new emperor's actions.
For example, reforming the military, inquiring about the treasury, reorganizing armaments, and so on.
She had never thought that Zhu Youtang would ask such irrelevant questions.
Fu Han hurriedly said,"Your Majesty, this is from the Book of Filial Piety."”
Zhu Youtang nodded." Then let me ask you, which of these three sentences do you think is the most important?”
Fu Han said in a clear voice,"In serving the emperor, we will all pour our brains and liver on the ground for the emperor."”
Zhu Youtang shook his head.”
Fu Han, the Minister of Rites, was speechless and did not know how to speak.
Zhu Youtang said," The Ministry of Rites has been preparing for the tomb of Emperor Dahang for a long time. From today onwards, my mother, Ji, will be conferred the title of Empress Dahang and buried together with the Emperor's tomb.”
When Zhu Youtang finished speaking, the cabinet and the six ministers suddenly understood.
Liu Jian lowered his head, hiding the shock in his eyes.
Before this, Liu Jian had mistakenly thought that the young emperor had deliberately said some specious words to intimidate the cabinet and the six ministries.
After all, the cabinet and the six departments were not easy to deal with.
But at this moment, Liu Jian realized that he was wrong.
Compared to Zhu Youtang, he was still short-sighted, or rather, he had just entered the cabinet and was eager for quick success.
The order of the appointment seemed unimportant, but it was the most crucial step. It was a step that would determine whether the new Son of Heaven could gain a firm foothold in front of the world.
The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. With this beginning, the Son of Heaven would be able to stand upright in front of the people in the future!
Liu Jian was convinced. At the very least, he now realized that the new emperor…was not simple!
