My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 26 Zhenwu Emperor! (Newbies, please collect it!)
The soldiers who were already ready rushed into the tent immediately.

Unprepared, screams and wails suddenly broke out in the tent.

In the Mighty Camp next door, a large group of Ming Army cavalry broke in directly through the gap in the fence that had been demolished long ago.

The sentry of the mighty camp standing guard at the camp gate was shot down by an arrow from the leading knight before he could realize what was happening.

The armies killed each other, blood flowed for miles, and bones piled up like mountains.

Suddenly the barracks was filled with flames.

There was a formation of horseshoes, accompanied by the roars and screams of the soldiers of the mighty battalion that was attacked.

Half an hour later, everything had settled.

The surviving soldiers had their weapons confiscated, their hands and feet bound, and sent in batches to guard the four border fortresses, far away from the capital.

The corpses of the generals of Weiwei Camp who were lured to Jiang Ding's camp for a banquet fell to the ground. Soldiers from Fenwei Camp poked them with spears to check if there were any survivors.

Among the piles of corpses, Jiang Ding saw a familiar figure.

The father of Zhou Lang who was engaged to his daughter.

He is also his friend for many years, the commander of Weiwu Camp, Zhou Cong.

"do not blame me……"

He sighed softly in his heart.

"This is all for my country, the Ming Dynasty!"

And the century-old grace of my Jiang family——

The marriage contract between the two families has naturally been cancelled. Soon, people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment will arrest the family members of these people and confiscate their property.

The guilt in my heart only lasted for a moment, as I thought of the cabinet's promise and the nephew who was about to come to Beijing to take over his destiny.

Jiang Ding's heart became uncontrollably hot.

……

"Is there no news from Mao Cheng yet?"

In Wenyuan Pavilion, Yang Tinghe, the chief minister of the cabinet, frowned as he looked at the court's financial report today.

"That bastard Wang Qiong!"

Before he could reply, the bachelor beside him, Jiang Qin, replied.

Outside the door, a middle-aged man rushed in casually, picked up the tea in front of Yang Tinghe and drank it, cursing while drinking.

This man is Yang Shen, a great talent who won three consecutive titles in the Ming Dynasty and the son of Dongge scholar Yang Tinghe.

But at this time, he looked very angry.

"I'm having a discussion with Mr. Jiang Ge... You are an editor of the Hanlin Academy. Why do you go to Wenyuan Pavilion every day if you don't revise your books properly? Mr. Jiang Ge, it's my incompetence in teaching my son that makes you laugh."

Seeing Yang Tinghe's apology, Jiang Qin quickly stood up and returned the favor.

"Young Master is more talented than others, and some of his temperaments are normal. There is nothing wrong with him. Please, for my sake, please don't punish me."

The two were arguing again.

Yang Shen was left alone.

As for Wang Qiong, now the Minister of War, he has long been famous in both the government and the public for speaking too arrogantly.

"You go out first."

Yang Tinghe waved his hand.

Yang Shen gritted his teeth. Although he was extremely dissatisfied, he still obeyed the order.

Seeing that the doors and windows were locked, the two of them talked about today's business.

"When the Chief Minister enters the palace this time, I wonder what the Empress Dowager thinks?: Also, during the sacrifice to heaven at the beginning of the year, how should we deal with the fact that His Majesty vomited blood in the middle of the ceremony? Should we wait until the new emperor ascends the throne and order the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the sacrifice of heaven and earth again, or wait until We will talk about it after the year is changed next year: Regarding how to convict Jiang Bin and Qian Ning for their party's conspiracy to commit treachery, and how much they are implicated in, I would like to ask the chief minister to bring you a charter so that I can explain it and let the six departments start to deal with it immediately. It calms people’s hearts.”

Jiang Qin looked longingly at Yang Tinghe in front of him.

Yang Tinghe knew that if this good old man could stand directly in front of him and ask these questions today, he must have been forced by the officials below.

Otherwise, according to his temperament, he would definitely not use such a direct method.

"In this case, I won't make it difficult for you. Let's talk about it one by one."

Yang Tinghe carefully arranged the official documents on the table, while Jiang Qin looked at him patiently, waiting for an answer.

"In the case of Jiang Bin, after discussion with the inner court, it was decided to limit the scope to military attachés in Beijing, and the rest will not be pursued..."

Yang Tinghe replied that he knew that this was the issue that tens of thousands of officials in the capital were most concerned about now.

Sure enough, after hearing Yang Tinghe's promise, Jiang Qin subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"In this way, the people in the capital can be reassured! The first assistant has made a clear decision!" "As for the Queen Mother, the only thing that Queen Mother Zhang is worried about now is the issue of imperial succession..."

Empress Dowager Zhang was Wuzong's nominal biological mother.

As for whether it was true or false, even Yang Ting and others of his generation were wondering in their hearts.

But Yang Tinghe and other veterans will not reveal it directly.

As soon as Wu Zong died, Queen Mother Zhang's position became very embarrassing.

She eagerly hoped to adopt Zhu Houcong into her own name and continue to maintain the honor and favor of their Zhang family.

This time, the Queen Mother even directly arranged her younger brother Zhang Heling to be among Anlu's welcoming team.

Jiang Qin remained silent.

Regarding this matter, the civil servants in Beijing were divided into two groups.

One faction is in favor and one faction is against.

It's not that adoption is very reasonable.

It's that Queen Mother Zhang and her family have one family and two princes, plus the Queen Mother of two dynasties is too powerful.

However, they were able to trick the little emperor into the palace first, and then adopt him according to the wishes of the queen mother after a short fooling.

But what about after?
What will the world’s scholars think?
What would the emperor who woke up from the deception think?

What would the Chiang family think?
Thinking of this, Jiang Qin remained silent.

As for Yang Tinghe's recent performance, it is obvious that he wants to take this opportunity to imitate the orthodox imperial government of Sanyang.

Taking advantage of the emperor's young age, he teamed up with the Queen Mother to monopolize power.

Once adopted, Empress Dowager Zhang will definitely be grateful for Yang Tinghe's kindness, and her family will rely more on the power of the chief minister, and Yang Tinghe will have an additional weapon in his hands to check and balance the emperor.

The Queen Mother, and the inner court through which she could control.

Seeing Jiang Qin's silence, Yang Tinghe knew what he meant, but the situation was unclear now and the cabinet members needed to work together, so he couldn't force him too much, so he continued.

"The most important matter of the country is to worship the soldiers. It is not good to worship the heaven in the southern suburbs at the beginning of the year. There are already ambitious people who are trying to speculate on the destiny of heaven and are ready to make a move. The matter of worshiping the heaven must not be delayed. When the emperor succeeds to the throne in April, he will immediately ask the Ministry of Rites to open an altar in the southern suburbs to offer sacrifices. God, to ensure nothing goes wrong..."

He looked at Jiang Qin, and Jiang Qin looked at him.

There was a bit of surprise in his eyes.

"I have sent the Ministry of War to send fast horses to Tianshou Mountain to worship Changling, and prepare a secret blood sacrifice for the ancestors. If necessary, I will take away Taizong's sword and return to the court. First, I will worship Emperor Zhenwu Dangmo in the southern suburbs. In any case, I will not be able to sacrifice to heaven this time. There is a mistake!”

The first emperor buried in Changling in the north of the Ming Dynasty was not Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, but Taizong Zhu Di.

Before his death, Zhu Di ordered that he be buried in Tianshou Mountain, outside the capital, in order to prevent the capital from being moved back to Nanjing after his death.

This is also the reason why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty guarded the country.

After all, if you, the emperor, want to escape, you have to consider the consequences of having your ancestral grave dug up after you escape.

It was not until the Yingzong period that the title of Jingshi was abolished and the capital was completely designated as the capital.

Since then, the capital has officially become the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Di was in trouble, in order to declare his destiny, he claimed to be Emperor Zhenwu and descended to earth.

Emperor Zhenwu, also known as the Water God or Xuanwu.

Emperor Zhenwu is also known as God Xuantian, Emperor Xuanwu, God Blessing True Monarch Xuantian, and the Infinite Patriarch. His full name is Emperor Zhenwu Dangmo. He is the god of the north in Han myths and legends. The Taoist scriptures call him "Zhen Tianwu Lingying". Bless the Holy Emperor."

Today, the main god enshrined in Beiwudang is Emperor Zhenwu.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he built a royal Taoist temple on Wudang Mountain and turned it into a royal family temple.

Most of the Zhenwu statues used by the people to ward off evil spirits were created by Zhu Di calling on Korean painters to use himself as a template.

Therefore, there is a popular saying among the people that "Zhenwu God, Yongle Statue" is spread among the people.

As Yang Tinghe spoke, a trace of confusion flashed between his brows.

Jiang Qin knew that the chief assistant might really have no good solution.

When Zhu Di and Wen Guan were alive, they both disliked each other.

They will slander each other even if they die.

If Yang Tinghe hadn't been driven into panic, he would never have thought of using this method.

The tomb of Taizu is far away in Nanjing, and it is obviously too late to prepare sacrifices at this time.

　Sometimes the actual place names are not displayed. I will change them later.
