Chapter 133 The emperor returned to Beijing and was assassinated!
In August of the 15th year of Zhengtong, the army of the Northern Expedition made a triumphant return.

The war lasted for five months, and the four forces of the imperial court attacked at the same time, swept across the desert, and completely wiped out the forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

The Chinese army defeated Oala head-on, the Eastern Army drove the remnants of the Tatars to the north of the Onan River, and the Western Army recovered Hami. So far, the entire Hetao area, Monan Mobei, and Nuergandusi have all been included in the territory of Daming.

This is a feat that is enough to be recorded in the annals of history!

The capital was shocked a long time ago. Knowing that the emperor was triumphant, King Zhu Qiyu led all the civil and military officials out of the city for thirty miles to meet him.

This is already the second time to meet and drive, and it can be regarded as familiar with the road.

Zhu Qizhen's imperial chariot entered the city from Andingmen, amidst the cheers of the people in the city... an accident happened!

Whoosh!
A feathered arrow came through the air and flew straight towards Zhu Qizhen who was on a tall horse!

It happened so suddenly that no one expected it, but someone was lying in ambush, ready to assassinate the king!
Fan Zhong didn't have time to react, so he could only shout: "Your Majesty, be careful!"

Zhu Qizhen turned sideways subconsciously, and the feathered arrow flew past his face and nailed it to the door plaque of the shop on the street.

"Escort, escort!"

Fan Zhong led his personal guards and gathered closely around Zhu Qizhen.

Yuan Bin took Jin Yiwei and rushed towards the place where the arrow came from.

It was a restaurant, and the arrow flew out of the window on the third floor.

Zhu Qizhen came back to his senses, his back was covered in cold sweat.

In broad daylight, someone actually assassinated!
what's the situation?
The crowd was already panicked, and the scene was very chaotic. Li Zhen rode forward, raised her knife, and shouted: "All the people, squat down!"

This voice was so good that the people on the side of the road squatted down and buried their heads low.

In this way, if there are gangsters mixed in, they can only squat down and cannot continue to carry out the assassination.

The panic situation was temporarily under control.

On the other side, Yuan Bin had already brought people out of the restaurant.

Behind him, a man in black was supported by two royal guards. The man in black looked limp, and seemed to be an assassin.

"Your Majesty, the assassin has been caught!"

Yuan Bin was carrying a crossbow and a bloody dagger in his hand.

Zhu Qizhen frowned and said, "What's going on?"

Yuan Bin replied: "Seeing that the assassination failed, the assassin committed suicide!"

At this time, Zhu Qizhen suddenly felt a familiar face in the crowd looking at him.

He followed his gaze, and the two looked at each other. The other shook his head slightly, and then continued to lower his head.

Absolute Guard, Yang Zhicong!
Zhu Qizhen seemed to realize something, and hurriedly asked: "Where is the assassin, bring him here!"

Yuan Bin waved his hand, and the two behind him stepped forward with the assassin on their shoulders.

Zhu Qizhen took a look, and was suddenly shocked.

This person was dressed in black, thin and thin, obviously a woman.

Looking at his face again, it turned out to be the No.18 spy whom he secretly cultivated, Song Guxi!
He hurriedly asked, "Is it dead?"

Yuan Bin replied: "The wound is in the abdomen, and there is still breath!"

"Hurry up, go back to the palace right away, order the imperial doctor to treat her with all her strength, I want her to live!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Bin waved his hand, and the two behind him picked up Song Guxi and ran towards the palace.

At this time, Jin Yiwei, Shuntian Mansion, and Wucheng Bing Ma Si were all dispatched, and the capital was all under martial law.

Zhu Qiyu, who was by Zhu Qizhen's side, was pale and didn't know what to do.

The last time the emperor came back from his own conquest, he caught up with Cao Jixiang and those birdmen plotting to rebel.

It was even more extreme today, and he came directly to assassinate in the street. As a supervisor of the country, it is really hard to describe it!

Zhu Qizhen said with a cold face, "Go back to the palace!"

The imperial guards opened the way, and the imperial chariot entered the gate of the palace. Fan Zhong said to the civil and military officials behind him: "The emperor has a decree, and the king of Ying, the king of Jing'an County, the cabinet scholars, and the governor of Shuntian Prefecture will come to Fengtian Hall to discuss matters!"

All civil and military officials were silent, and those who were named went to Fengtian Temple in disgrace.

Zhu Qizhen sat on the dragon chair with an extremely ugly expression.

Such a big victory, the victorious division, was treated like this!

Zhu Qiyu took the lead in bowing down and said: "Your brother will die, please punish the emperor!"

Others also knelt behind Zhu Qiyu one after another, not daring to show their breath.

Zhu Qizhen said slowly: "Don't be dead, let's talk about it, what's going on?"

"It's the younger brother...the younger brother...overlooked..."

Zhu Qiyu was sweating coldly, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhang Fu followed up and said: "The old minister assisted the king of the country to supervise the country. He didn't realize that someone was assassinated in advance. It was the veteran's dereliction of duty. Please punish him!"

Cao Nai and others also expressed their willingness to accept punishment.

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense, Yuan Bin!"

"Chen is here!"

"Leave this matter to Jin Yiwei for a thorough investigation, Wucheng Bingma Si and Shuntian Mansion will fully cooperate!"

"According to the order!"

Zhu Qizhen sighed heavily, and said: "Also, the 10,000+ army couldn't do anything to me, but I didn't expect that I was almost killed by an assassin and a crossbow arrow!"

Zhu Qiyu and the others had bitter faces and were speechless.

"Okay, Jin Yiwei will investigate this matter!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, and said with an irritable face: "King Yan, tell me about the affairs in the capital!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Qiyu swallowed his saliva, and then said: "During the period of the emperor's personal conquest, all affairs, large and small, in the capital were settled by the ministers, the king of Jing'an County, and the cabinet. Wang Yonghe, the left servant, went to control the water. Regardless of his personal safety, Wang Yonghe worked together with the servants and led the people to block the mouth, build embankments, and repair dikes, and successfully avoided the expansion of the disaster. Second, there was a large-scale drought in Kaifeng, Henan..."

Zhu Qizhen listened one by one, floods, droughts, locust plagues... all kinds of disasters continued. Fortunately, this year's treasury was abundant, and some places were affected by disasters. The imperial court directly allocated funds, and most of the disasters could be solved.

"Sixth, the pirates are seriously infested along the coasts of Zhejiang and Fujian. The King of Jing'an suggested that Ningbo and Fuzhou should be equipped with Japanese guards to resist the Japanese invasion..."

"Wait a moment!"

Zhu Qizhen suddenly interrupted him and asked: "The Japanese plague is serious, what is the serious method, please tell me in detail!"

Zhu Qiyu replied: "On June [-]th, the Japanese pirates landed in Fuzhou, looted and left. On July [-]th, the Japanese pirates landed in Ningbo and plundered the people along the coast. Nanjing garrison and Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong heard the news and immediately dispatched troops. Pingkou, the thieves knew they were invincible and fled back to sea. During the period, there were also reports of small-scale Japanese robbers looting in Taizhou, Quanzhou and other places."

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and said: "Let's put aside the addition of Japanese guards in advance, I have my own plan, you continue to talk!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Qiyu continued to report, but Zhu Qizhen couldn't listen anymore, his mind was full of Japanese pirates.

Mobei is pacified, and Ming has no worries about the future, and the next step is the great voyage.

At this time, Columbus had not yet been born, and I still had Zheng He's old team on his voyages to the West. Whether it was navigation technology or treasure ship configuration, they were only better than the Western fleet.

It is imminent to open the sea to Pingwa!
