The Rise of the European Emperor

At this time, King Anhua, who was far away in Qingyang, Gansu Province, launched a rebellion, and the imperial court had sent Yang Yiqing, the capital censor, and Zhang Yong, one of the "Eight Tigers of Zhengde", to quell the rebellion.

But in fact, King Anhua's rebellion was child's play. Because King Anhua appointed the scheming Qiu Yue as the main general. But Qiu Yue didn't intend to rebel from the beginning, he pretended to join King Anhua only because his family members were only in Qingyang City, and he was afraid of being killed by King Anhua. After defrauding the trust of Anhua King Zhu Zhixie, Qiu Yue cooperated with the outside world and directly sent someone to capture Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu and put down the rebellion. Not long after Yang Yiqing, Zhang Yong, and Jingyang Bo Shenying's counter-insurgency army set out, news came back that Qiu Yue had quelled the rebellion of King Anhua.

After the news came, Emperor Zhengde still sent Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong to Qingyang to appease the people. However, Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong have already started plotting to get rid of Liu Jin.

Needless to say, Yang Yiqing is the representative of civil servants. And Zhang Yong, who is also one of the "Eight Tigers of Zhengde", the eunuch, and Liu Jin became sworn enemies because of their competition for favor. The two sides have common interests, and they have been hooked up for a long time, ready to kill Liu Jin. When they returned to Beijing in August, it was time for them to stab Liu Jin.

And now, it is already June of the lunar calendar. Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong have already gone to Qingyang to stabilize the hearts of the people, but they have already contacted a group of officials in the DPRK and China through secret channels, and they plan to go to black Liu Jin together and try to win Liu Jin in one fell swoop.

Therefore, after seeing Liu Jin get these 9 mysterious turtles, these ministers who had agreed with Yang Yiqing were naturally very worried. You know, the auspiciousness bestowed by heaven, and it is the top auspiciousness like Xuangui, Liu Jin must have made great contributions. At that time, it will be much more difficult to bring down Liu Jin...

How important is auspiciousness? During Song Zhenzong's reign, he even went directly to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen by relying on the forged auspicious scriptures from heaven...

Although Song Zhenzong is shameless enough, it also shows the important political status of Xiangrui. Generally speaking, the appearance of auspiciousness indicates that the sage is virtuous, and that he is the Son of Heaven...

The funniest auspicious auspiciousness in history appeared in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. In the twelfth year of Yongle, a vassal state paid tribute to a giraffe. As a result, it was mistaken for a unicorn by the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers. The unicorn, like the tortoise, is the top auspicious sign. Then, the officials congratulated Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, there was another Hanlin Academy named Shen Du who wrote "Ode to the Qilin in Ruiying" with a wonderful pen, praising the appearance of auspiciousness. , and directly praised Zhu Di, who was seeking to usurp the throne, as a destined saint...

Emperor Yongle happened to be worried that his throne was not in the right place, so this was the right horse. Then, Shen Du naturally got promoted and made a fortune. Moreover, Emperor Yongle also asked people to draw a picture to celebrate the birth of Qilin. As a result, modern people took a look at it - oh, isn't this a giraffe...

...

Of course, it was a farce that the giraffe was mistaken for the unicorn. After all, Zhu Di, the rebellious Emperor Yongle, was a bit hungry, so the giraffe was also used to pass off the unicorn. But the Galapagos tortoise is considered a black tortoise, but there is no problem.

No matter what other people are like, Liu Jin is going to take the lead.

So, before others could react, Liu Jin took the lead in kneeling down, following Zhang Cai's instructions last night, and shouted:

"The sage has benevolence and virtue, so when the sky descends to Jiarui, the black tortoise will come out! The number of the black tortoise is nine, which not only shows that your majesty is the sage of heaven, but also represents Kyushu! The tortoise is the god of water, and the weather is good! The nine tortoises are bestowed by God, meaning My Ming and Kyushu are in good weather! Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Liu Jin took the lead, and Jiao Fang, a cabinet scholar of Liu Jin's party, and Zhang Cai, Minister of the Ministry of officials, and a group of minions also knelt down one after another.

The mountain shouted long live, and shouted "sage benevolence"...

...

"I am a saint, I am a saint...haha..." Emperor Zhengde, who was only 18 years old, said that the situation was calm, but in fact he was already happy in his heart.

Suppressing his ecstasy, Emperor Zhengde waved his hand and said:

"Everyone is flat! This auspicious birth is also the result of the hard work of all the ministers and workers. I am happy with all the ministers..."

Speaking of this, the young Emperor Zhengde finally couldn't help laughing out loud...

Liu Jin quickly apologized, and then the officials also apologized, and many people showed awkward smiles...

...

At this time, Marin finally finished the three-day hard etiquette training, put on the custom-made unicorn official uniform, rode his own tall European horse, surrounded by 100 guards and 900 flag-carrying guards, and headed towards the capital. go on...

He Zhenwu, the commander of the Tianjin Guards, also accompanied him with 2,000 soldiers and horses, called protection, and actually had the intention of monitoring Ma Lin and his party.

Along the way, Marin's men and horses lined up neatly and walked in unison, which made He Zhenwu dumbfounded. And looking at the guards of the Tianjin Guards of the Ming Dynasty, they walked sparsely. Compared with Marin's guards, they were simply inferior by how many grades...

At the same time, Marin also arranged some manpower to escort more than a dozen large carts, most of which were filled with silver...

As for the muskets and cannons used in the tribute, they have already been transported to the capital by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty...

...

Dagukou is about 170 kilometers away from the capital. According to the marching speed of the Beihai army, it can march more than 40 kilometers a day. However, there were also Tianjin Guard's Daming Guard soldiers accompanying him, so the team naturally couldn't move fast. As a result, I couldn't even walk 30 kilometers every day. It took 6 days to walk the 170-kilometer Pingyuan Avenue...

...

But what Marin didn't know was that when he led his men and marched hard against the scorching sun, the capital city had already caused a lot of trouble because of these 9 "mysterious turtles".

On the day when Xuangui came to court, Emperor Zhengde ordered a banquet for all the officials to celebrate Xuangui's birth. Then, under the witness of the ministers of the DPRK and China with black lines all over their heads, the 9 "xuangui" were canonized as the "Nine Nine Qings" by the troubled Emperor Zhengde, and they dealt with the big and small Nine Qings of the outer court.

However, it was a mysterious turtle. Although the ministers were full of black lines, they did not dare to question it. Because, questioning Xuan Gui soon equals questioning the legitimacy of the emperor? Do you want to die?

Moreover, because the appearance of the nine tortoises was a major festive event, Emperor Zhengde declared amnesty to the world in order to celebrate. Of course, rebels like King Anhua are not within the scope of pardon...

...

When Marin took a thousand guards and stepped into the capital with extremely neat steps, he was surrounded by the people of the capital. However, what makes Marin depressed is that the focus of these people's onlookers is not the strict discipline of the soldiers of the Beihai Kingdom, but the focus on appearance...

"Oh, these ghosts look so strange! Look at their faces, they are so pale, are they weak and weak..."

"Pfft..." Hearing such an evaluation, Marin almost spit out a mouthful of old blood—you are weak and have kidney deficiency, and your whole family has kidney deficiency. I am a white man now, and the white face is of course pale...pale...
