Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

"Li...Brother...Is Brother Li back?"

On the sickbed, as always, the faintly inaudible voice sounded intermittently again.

"Your Majesty, Marquis, Marquis has already led the army back, and it will be there soon..."

Wang Chengen's eyes were red, and he said while holding back tears.

"Okay...see...see...the capital, wait for Li...Brother Li to come back..."

Zhu Youjian was like a piece of dead wood, his throat twitched and his voice was hoarse and vague.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old slave is watching everything, there will be no problem..."

Wang Chengen knelt down and kowtowed, and it was already two lines of tears.

In the hall, the suppressed cry was also looming.

How can the person who is personally serving him not know, this emperor, endured the torture of illness, his life is hanging by a thread, but he is hanging on with a sigh of relief, why!

Just like when the emperor ascended the throne, he is waiting, waiting for the thousand households in the Yongweiying camp who was guarding the king, and waiting for the Duke of Zhenbei, who is now holding the sky with only one hand!

Such monarchs and ministers are rare in history.

Historian's eyes were red, he raised his pen, and slowly recorded this scene in the history book.

…

Desert South.

Li Xiu led hundreds of iron cavalry to gallop, and the Jingying army had been left far behind.

In the original plan, Li Xiu also planned to stay in the grassland for a period of time to plan and coordinate the distribution of forces in Monan and Mobei.

But now, these naturally can only be put on hold for the time being and will be discussed later.

From Liaodong, to Monan, and then to Jizhen…

Lightweight and simple, working day and night, not daring to rest for a moment.

In fact, so far, no one in the capital has known how the situation in Liaodong was.

The overall martial law in Shanhaiguan completely blocked all connections between Liaodong and the customs.

On the other hand, Li Xiu was a fast horse, and his speed on the road far exceeded the speed of an ordinary courier.

Therefore, even though a lot of interested people have long been staring at Liaodong, the speed of information dissemination, after being blocked by Shanhaiguan, is far from being as fast as Li Xiu himself.

In the capital, before the specific situation of the Liaodong war situation was known, and under the pressure of the emperor's dying, people were already panicking.

Whether it is the common people or courtiers and gentry, the same is true.

The common people are naturally worried about the impact of this situation on their survival, while the courtiers and gentry are naturally worried about the direction of the situation after the death of the emperor, the court, and even the world.

In fact, throughout the Ming Dynasty, it was the first time that the civil servants were so worried about the alternation of the old and the new.

Factory guards run rampant in the city, the city gates are guarded by the imperial army, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities patrol the whole city. Although the entire capital is not under substantial martial law, in fact, it is not much worse than martial law.

And all this, even the Ministry of War, cannot exert any influence on it!

The Marquis of Zhenbei, even if he is not in the capital, but under the influence of the rest of the prestige, he is still like a big mountain, suppressing everyone!

Dawn broke, and the brave guards at the gate of the capital were on a routine exchange shift.

Rumble…

The hooves of horses were like thunder, looming from the sky.

"cavalry!"

All the soldiers and generals were stunned for a moment, and in an instant, Huang Degong, the leader of the thousand generals, came to a judgment!

"Large cavalry!"

"Everyone, be alert!"

With a loud shout, Huang Degong stepped out and jumped to the corridor on the second floor of the city tower.

I saw between the sky, hundreds of iron cavalry, swept in like the wind.

crunch...

Accompanied by a harsh pulling sound, the huge crossbow was wound, and the muzzle of the artillery also slowly moved, and finally aimed at the cavalry that was getting closer.

"Open the city gate! Lord Hou returns to the capital, open the city gate quickly!"

Before Huang Degong sent someone to ask to drive them away, he saw several light cavalry rushing down to the tower, shouting loudly, raising his hand and throwing something into the tower.

"Master Hou?"

These two words came into his ears, and Huang Degong's heart jumped. He subconsciously raised his hand to catch the hand letter that was thrown over, and took a closer look. On the bronze token, the quaint word Zhenbei was clearly visible.

Before Huang Degong could make a judgment, a group of soldiers cheered on the tower.

"Master Hou, it's Master Hou!"

"General, quickly open the city gate, it's really a marquis!"

Huang Degong shifted his gaze, and then fixed on the person headed by the cavalry team.

The next second, Huang Degong's hurried shouting sound also suddenly sounded,

"Quick, open the city gate and welcome Lord Hou into the capital!"

While shouting, Huang Degong also kicked down the soldiers next to him:

"What are you aiming at with your crib? Are you trying to rebel!"

"Quick, contact alert!"

…

The city gate opened slowly.

Outside the city gate, the people who originally gathered together spontaneously split a path at this moment.

"Go into the city!"

Li Xiu stared at the tower in front of him for a while, before he waved his hand tiredly.

"The Marquis of Zhenbei is mighty!"

"Invincible!"

I don't know which common people got the lead, the hot eyes gathered, and the shouts resounded through the sky!

Hearing the loud voice suddenly, Li Xiu was also a little stunned, his eyes shifted, and he felt the simple and hot gazes of these ordinary people, and the fact that the soldiers in the tower were hard to stir, trying to make the body stand more straight and more upright. The worries in Xiu's heart also dissipated a little.

Prancing horses and whips, riding horses galloping in this still quiet capital, also completely awakened this capital from the silence!

Marquis of Zhenbei, back to Beijing!

This news, like a turbulent wave, swept the entire capital in an instant!

"came back…"

The Ministry of War Yamen, Sun Chuanting, who was busy all night with the army's expedition mobilizing and supplying food and grass, was also stunned for a long time after hearing the news.

His demeanor seemed to be lost, but also relieved. Of course, like the civil servants present, there was also a deep sense of worry.

Throughout the ancient and modern times, why did the dynasties and dynasties pay more attention to literature and less martial arts most of the time?

It is because the rights of civil servants come from the rule system, from the position in the rule system!

Losing this point, civil servants are inferior to dogs!

The rights of warriors are also derived from positions within the rules of the system.

However, warriors, can transcend this, and even get rid of the constraints of positions!

Especially for a warrior like Zhenbeihou, whose power is unparalleled in the world, his rights are not from Zhenbeihou, nor from the positions of the governor-general, Jingying Rongzheng!

His power, forged by those invincible splendours, had converged from the institutional position to him personally.

He, the center of power, is beyond the rules.

Even if these positions do not exist, even if he is just a civilian, his orders are far better than the imperial court for the hundreds of thousands of troops that he has forged with one hand!

This kind of existence is used by the country, which is the great fortune of the country. If it is not used by the country, it will definitely be a catastrophe for the country!
