Start to be a martial arts hero from the famous people of Hengshan

Chapter 410 Yang Tinghe's Arrangement
Two fast horses kicked up a trail of dust and galloped towards the capital.

When the soldiers defending the city heard the sound of horse hooves, they immediately perked up and prepared to intercept. The other party pulled the reins and the mount stopped steadily in front of the city gate. His superb riding skills were rare.

Without waiting for the soldiers guarding the city to ask, the handsome young man took out a finely carved waist badge from his waist and introduced himself in a loud voice: "I am Ou Zanghua, the Minister of the Imperial Household, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the Minister of the Honglu Temple. There is an urgent matter of state that needs to be handled immediately!"

The soldiers identified the badge and immediately made way for him: "Master Ou, please!"

"Thank you!" Ou Zanghua bowed, swung the reins, and the horse neighed and accelerated through the city gate.

After crossing Zhengyangmen Street, Ou Zanghua said to Mu Gaoweng behind him: "Gaoweng, go back home first and tell my wife that I don't have time to go back home recently. Please ask her to take care of the affairs at home."

"Yes, son!"

Mu Gaoweng responded and continued, "I will wait for you in front of Chengtian Gate later! I also want to help in the fight against Mongolia."

Ou Zanghua looked back at Mu Gaoweng and asked, "Can you bear it?"

"Hehe." Mu Gaoweng grinned and said complacently, "Don't worry, sir. I have taken a lot of tonics in the Ou Mansion over the years, and my body is stronger than a few years ago."

"Okay, you wait for me at Chengtian Gate." After hearing this, Ou Zanghua no longer forced it.

The two separated at the Daming Gate. Mu Gaoweng rushed to Nanxunfang, while Ou Zanghua went to the Chengguo Mansion in Jiqingfang.

Duke Chengguo Zhu Fu was appointed as the head of the Central Military Commission in the ninth year of Zhengde. It should be noted that before that, his son Zhu Lin was involved in the rectification of the Beijing camp and the death of Chen Tai, but Zhu Fu was not affected. Instead, he held an important position in the Five Military Commission, which shows the trust that Emperor Zhengde had in him.

As for Duke of England Zhang Mao?
This chief of the nobles had been bedridden since last year and passed away on March 29, the tenth year of Zhengde, at the age of 75. Upon hearing the news, Emperor Zhengde posthumously conferred him the title of King of Ningyang and gave him the posthumous name "Gongjing". His title was inherited by his grandson Zhang Lun.

In the mansion of Duke Chengguo, Zhu Fu had not yet gone to the Five Military Commanders' Office to take the seat, so when the butler came in to report, he was slightly stunned for a moment before he had Ou Zanghua brought into the hall.

When he changed his clothes and walked into the hall, he saw Ou Zanghua sitting there calmly, and he became even more confused.

"Ou Zhanshi, how are you?"

"Duke Chengguo!" Ou Zanghua stood up and greeted him with a bow.

"Mr. Ou, there's no need to be so polite. Let's sit down and talk." After Zhu Fu returned the greeting, he pressed down with one hand, motioning Ou Zanghua to sit down.

Ou Zanghua asked directly: "May I ask where His Majesty is now?"

Zhu Fu held the teacup in his hand and asked warmly, "Your Majesty should be studying the use of new artillery in the Leopard Room, right? I have heard that Your Majesty has developed some kind of carpet bombing, but I don't know what it is specifically."

"Your Majesty went to Jizhou Town with the soldiers of the Beijing Camp a few days ago."

With a loud "clang", the Jingdezhen kiln flower-mouth cup in Zhu Fu's hand fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

"Later, he moved to Panjiakou with the artillery battalion."

With a sound of "crack", Zhu Fu stood up suddenly, and the rosewood chair under his butt broke into pieces.

"What are you doing? How could you let His Majesty put himself in danger at the border? The lesson of Emperor Yingzong is still before our eyes. You are simply committing treason!" In his rage, Duke Chengguo was like a lion, emitting a frightening aura.

"Duke, your Majesty has always been wise and decisive, and has great ambitions. As ministers, we should obey your Majesty's will. How dare we use our private power to interfere with your Majesty's behavior? We can only keep your Majesty's safety in mind and prepare comprehensive strategies at all times to protect your health and the stability of the country."

"Humph!" Zhu Fu snorted coldly and was about to walk out: "I can't argue with you literati. I'm going to Panjiakou to protect His Majesty!"

"Duke, why do you think His Majesty sent me back?" Ou Zanghua stopped Zhu Fu and told him Emperor Zhengde's plan.

Zhu Fu was shocked and stared at Ou Zanghua, "You, Ou Zhanshi, agreed to such an outrageous plan?"

"At that time, His Majesty had already set out the emperor's ceremonial guards. Anyone who was not blind could have seen it."

Ou Zanghua sighed and continued, "Besides, now is the time when the Ming Dynasty is strong and powerful. If we can defeat Mongolia in one fell swoop and restore peace to the north, why not do it?"

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhu Fu. This was a handwritten letter from Emperor Zhengde, asking him to cooperate with Ou Zanghua to complete this plan.

Zhu Fu looked somewhat lonely and shook his head helplessly. He originally thought that Yingzong had been naughty enough, but he didn't expect there would be something even more naughty.

Now, he can only pin his hopes on the cabinet, hoping that the three grand secretaries can convince Emperor Zhengde!
Without saying much, the two of them went to Wenyuan Pavilion in the southeast corner of the imperial city.

At this moment, the cabinet college students are handling official business there.

When the two arrived, they saw Yang Tinghe shaking with anger. Liang Chu and Fei Hong beside him were not in much better condition, with extremely solemn expressions.

Obviously, the three giants of the cabinet had received the news and knew that Emperor Zhengde had secretly slipped out of the capital.

Seeing Ou Zanghua coming in, Liang Chu couldn't help but say, "Ou Zhanshi, why didn't you tell us about His Majesty's departure from the capital?! Are you going to be a treacherous minister who will be infamous for eternity?!"

Ou Zanghua calmly and unhurriedly bowed and said, "Mr. Liang, it is not the behavior of a gentleman to make a fuss about something without seeing it with your own eyes or hearing it with your own ears."

Fei Hong raised his hand to stop Liang Chu, looked at Ou Zanghua sternly and said, "Jingyu, what exactly is going on? Please tell us in detail."

"Yes!"

Ou Zanghua immediately told Fei Hong what had happened. When he heard that he was dragged away by Emperor Zhengde on his way to report for duty, Fei Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he had not protected the wrong person.

After explaining everything, Ou Zanghua took out another letter and handed it over with both hands, "This is a letter from His Majesty to the Cabinet."

Yang Tinghe took the letter with an indifferent expression, and after opening it and reading it, his expression became even uglier.

He handed the letter to Fei Hong, without giving Ou Zanghua a chance to speak, and directly ordered: "This is simply nonsense! Zi Chong, let Ying Ning and Quan Qing come to Wenyuan Pavilion, and the three of you will stay in the capital. Shu Hou, Shi Qi, and Ji Wu will follow me to Panjiakou! Persuade His Majesty to return to the capital."

Yingning is the pen name of Yang Yiqing, the Minister of Punishments; Quanqing is Lu Wan, the Minister of War; Shiqi is Li Qian, the Minister of Works; Jiwu is Peng Ze, the Left Censor-in-Chief.

In other words, except for the vacant position of Minister of Rites, all the six ministers were dispatched.

Moreover, Yang Tinghe's arrangements were very detailed. He deliberately left the second assistant Fei Hong, who was of delicate temperament and broad mind, in the capital. This person was not only good at handling complicated government affairs, but also able to stabilize the overall situation with his calmness and ensure that the capital could maintain order and decency under any turmoil.

Yang Yiqing is well versed in military tactics and has extraordinary strategies, while Lu Wan has rich experience in leading troops. Both of them are knowledgeable about military affairs.

Among the three people taken out, Peng Ze was also proficient in military tactics.

Yang Tinghe believed that even if faced with an unexpected crisis like the Tumu Incident, the Ming court would be able to quickly adjust its strategy and stabilize its position under the steady leadership of Fei Hong and the wise assistance of Yang Yiqing until the crisis was resolved.
