"So it's Zhang Shuai, who has long been famous!"

Zhang Wanbang was originally a famous general and was one of the seven generals who aided Liao in the battle of Liaodong. Now he has won a great victory in Datong, and his reputation is naturally spread throughout the army.

Zhang Wanbang was a little excited when he heard that even the people in the Imperial Guards knew their name. Of course, he was secretly happy, and he didn't dare to do anything big. He clasped his fists and said with a smile:

"It's not a big name. This battle depends entirely on the lives of the soldiers. Your Majesty has the best arrangements!"

It can be seen that the awareness of survival is still very strong.

"Please come in!" The Yongwei Camp's Yongding Gate Commander laughed a few times, then moved away from his position, and said in a little embarrassed manner: "But the Datong Army cannot enter the capital before receiving the order of His Majesty. This is a regulation, so please understand!"

"It's okay, the capital is developing very well now, and there are also cities outside the city, like a small town. It's better to rest here than before." Zhang Wanbang didn't care at all, and turned around and ordered Qu Jiazhen behind him:

"General Qu Shen, you should lead the troops to a remote place to build a barracks and take a break. The town must also go to the palace to meet the saint. Remember not to disturb the people."

This time, the person who came with Zhang Wanbang was Qu Jiazhen, the general of Guangchang Camp, and the deputy general Xu Shouhui, who stayed in Zhencheng, carried out post-war recovery, and inspected all matters of people's livelihood.

With the order, the front team of the Datong Army turned into the back team, turned around together, and marched along the official road to Beijing towards some areas that deviated from the private houses.

Many people already feel that rural people are entering the city. I heard that they are being inspected by the emperor in Beijing, and many people are very excited.

Especially their general, who was personally summoned and valued by the current emperor, is the honor that the warriors have sought for their whole life!

While Zhang Wanbang was still heading to the palace, Zhu Youxiao met Wei Zhongxian in the West Warehouse.

Wei Zhongxian now seems a little old.

Since Donglin was removed from the court, Wei Zhongxian's actions have become increasingly low-key.

He knew in his heart that Donglin and he complemented each other, and once one of them fell, the other one would become the target of public criticism.

There are many eunuch party officials in the court? Because Zhu Youxiao turned a blind eye in recent years? There are countless local officials promoted by Wei Zhongxian.

Wang Hai, the governor of the canal transport that was investigated before, is one of the microcosms.

"Is Zhongxian here? What's the matter?" Zhu Youxiao looked down at the memorial, with a expressionless face. Since then, he has become increasingly cold towards Wei Zhongxian.

At this time, if you give Wei Zhongxian a good look, then he will definitely be arrogant? Wei Zhongxian is very comfortable in making money and doing things. Zhu Youxiao doesn’t want to attack him, so he can only be colder, the better!

With Wei Zhongxian's temperament, only in this way can he be honest.

Of course? Donglin has fallen, and Wei Zhongxian’s rights should be gradually weakened and he will take all the government back to his hands.

Wei Zhongxian looked happy and bowed:

"My Lord, the three halls and palaces have been repaired? Don't you want to look at the court in three days? Now the Great Hall of the Emperor is extremely powerful and can be used for this purpose."

Zhu Youxiao put down his brush after hearing this? He smiled and said:

"Thank you for your hard work, Zhongxian. After this time, the palace has been repaired? Such a huge project depends on your hard work."

Wei Zhongxian quickly knelt down and said:

"Compared with Your Majesty's day and night to work for state affairs, what is this matter of me? I only know how to do things for Your Majesty and the royal family throughout my life."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao sneered in his heart.

Of course, Wei Zhongxian saw that his attitude towards him has changed during this period. He was afraid that he would do it himself, so he showed his loyalty by the repair of the three halls!

Zhu Youxiao has not sent anyone to find Wei Zhongxian during this period, just to see if he has the ability to see him, so he sent someone over.

Now, he is here in person.

Since you are here, you must say it carefully, and you should ask him for what I have given you back!

"Although the weather has been getting colder recently, I feel more and more strong and energetic..." After saying a little useless nonsense, Zhu Youxiao changed his tone and said unintentionally:

"Zhongxian, I see, you don't have to help me with the affairs of the cabinet in the future. All the books will be sent back to the Ganqing Palace."

Wei Zhongxian was stunned and said:

"Your Majesty forgive me, I have never thought of abusing power and improperly!"

Zhu Youxiao said lightly, and wrote a few words on a memorial, then threw it aside, then took out a book to look at it, and said:

"Since that's the case, go back and think about it, and submit a list of officials who have been promoted by you in the past four years to the Ganqing Palace!"

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, his forehead buzzed and almost fainted.

This is not only his Majesty wants to collect power. Once this list is handed over to the superiors, all the officials of the "eunuch party" and even those who have some connection with him will be held in the hands of the emperor.

But what if I don’t hand over it?

In addition to the East Factory, the emperor also had the Jinyiwei. Xu Xianchun followed the emperor's leader, and there were also Cui Yingyuan and Tian Ergeng, who were under him. Once he received the order, he would definitely focus on investigating and prosecution. Sooner or later, he would know!

Could it be better to delete and modify it yourself and hand in some people?

Your Majesty may not want to know all these things. After all, a large number of court officials were eliminated not long ago. If there are any major changes, they will probably shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

"Why, is there any difficulty?"

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian didn't reply for a while, Zhu Youxiao felt a little dissatisfied and glanced over. Such eyes scared Wei Zhongxian so much that he was full of excitement.

"Not having any difficulties, I was thinking about who was there, so I could submit the list to Your Majesty early."

After hearing what Wei Zhongxian said, Zhu Youxiao did not doubt it and chuckled: "You old eunuch, are still as clever as before."

In the Western Warehouse, Wei Zhongxian and Emperor Tianqi chatted for a few more words. Wang Chaofu came in from outside with a slight effort and said:

"Your Majesty, Datong General Zhang Wanbang has entered the palace and is waiting in the side hall. Do you want to summon him immediately?"

"Call him in." Zhu Youxiao said that, and suddenly called Wang Chaofu and said, "Since the three halls and the palace are fully repaired, we will re-open them today."

"Summon Zhang Wanbang to the platform, and I will meet him there."

The platform summoning is the highest rule that military or civil officials can obtain when summoning them to Beijing. If Zhang Wanbang can get this honor, it will probably help him in his prestige in the army.

As soon as Wang Chaofu left, Zhu Youxiao lowered his head and closed the memorial, stood up and said:

"I have been going to Huangji Palace for a long time. Zhongxian, come and tell me what happened in the years you supervised the construction of the three halls."

Wei Zhongxian still felt warm in his heart, bowed and moved aside and followed:

"Your Majesty, please follow me..."

...

"elder sister--!"

Tong Jing'er broke into Kunning Palace and saw Zhang Yan looking at the direction of the Xihun Pavilion outside the eaves of the window, and went up to pull her away.

"What happened? My sister was so reckless." Zhang Yan was pulled away, but because she had a good relationship with Concubine Yu, she didn't say anything harsh.

It's just a small head, a big question mark.

"Sister doesn't know yet, it's spread in the palace!" Tong Jing'er stopped and panted: "The fourth year of the Apocalypse is such a great year!"

"At the beginning of the year, General Zhang, who defeated the Western Captains, has entered the capital. In two days, His Majesty will review the soldiers of Datong. His Majesty sent a letter to the cabinet, saying that he would restore the regular court for three days, and the whole court was praising His Majesty's wiseness."

"There is another good news today. The three halls that have been built for four years have finally been built!"
