Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1216

The next morning, Xu Shan quietly returned to Beijing.

Although the rebellion of the Jiangnan navy had a significant impact on the capital.

However, their rebellion was quelled in the outer city.

In addition, Xu Shan and Yuan Tiangang and others had made plans and arrangements in advance.

Therefore, from the outside, there was nothing unusual about the city.

However, several rooms on Zhuque Avenue, which symbolizes the center of power in the Ming Dynasty, have recently become empty again.

This caused everyone in the imperial court to feel insecure.

In particular, His Majesty's health is unpredictable.

In addition, the Zhou family had deliberately stirred up trouble in secret beforehand.

Rumors circulated among the powerful and wealthy that "His Majesty is ill, suffering from the backlash of a soul curse, and his life is nearing its end."

This made the already turbulent political situation even more unsettling.

But one problem after another arises!

The news that the barbarians and Tartars had joined forces and successively conquered six of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun had spread among the powerful and influential.

In these turbulent times, His Majesty has fallen ill again…

In their view, the Ming Dynasty is now in dire straits.

It was precisely to stabilize the imperial court...

Despite her numerous physical discomforts, Zhu Youwei still attended court today, accompanied by Yuan Tiangang!

While discussing the situation in Northern Liang, we should also promote some court officials to stabilize the current Ming Dynasty.

However, the fact that Master Yuan, who had not attended court for a long time, accompanied the king throughout the morning court session has led the ministers below to speculate wildly!

Although there were no major upheavals in the appointment and removal of officials during the entire court assembly, everyone could feel that the atmosphere in the court was extremely oppressive.

Especially when it came to the war situation in the north, only a few 'pro-emperor' individuals stood up to offer advice.

Even though they outlined several substantial strategies, the ministers remained pessimistic about the situation in Northern Liang.

It should be noted that the King of Beiliang was killed and the fate of the Crown Prince of Beiliang is unknown.

Even now, the Northern Liang still possesses over a hundred thousand cavalry. But who can command them now?

Even if we regroup, who can guarantee that we can win against the overwhelming barbarian and Tartar coalition?

"What? Don't the other ministers have any suggestions?"

Zhu Youwei, who also felt all of this, wanted to motivate her subordinates.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent!

Even Yuan Tiangang could see that they were mostly pessimistic about the current battle situation.

"Report!"

Just then, a loud voice came from outside the hall.

Immediately afterward, Lin Pingzhi, who had been promoted to Deputy Chief Eunuch of the Palace Guard, shouted at the top of his lungs, "Your Majesty..."

"Lord Xu, Earl of the Great Ming Dynasty, Vice Commissioner of the Garrison Command, Director of the Divine Machine Bureau... has returned in triumph."

"Requesting an audience outside the palace!"

'boom.'

Upon hearing Lin Pingzhi's shout, the previously listless court officials instantly became more energetic, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

If we were to ask who in the entire Ming Dynasty has the most prestige and deterrent power right now, it would naturally be the Great Ming War God – Xu Shan!

They took only three battalions from the imperial court and then swept through the Miao territory and restored the Shu Commandery.

This also led to the defection of the "Prince of Ning" of Jiangxi to his side.

Furthermore, they secretly orchestrated and thwarted the Zhou family's rebellion with the Jiangnan navy.

Lin Pingzhi's phrase "returning in triumph" implies that the Jiangnan region and other areas have been completely pacified.

"Xuan!"

Even more delighted than these ministers was Zhu Youwei, who sat on the dragon throne.

As a monarch, her most trusted war god returned in triumph.

As a woman, what she longed for most was for her beloved Xu Lang to enter the court and support her.

Women, especially those who are pregnant or have had injuries, are more sensitive. They pin their hopes on their husbands coming to their side.

Yuan Tiangang, who had never once encouraged the court officials, smiled slightly upon seeing the sudden surge in morale at the scene.

This is one of the reasons why he was urgently summoned back!

Given his current status in the Ming Dynasty and his invincible influence...

Its return alone is more powerful than a thousand armies.

Before the person even arrived, the imperial guards stationed along the long corridor outside the palace were already gripping their sword hilts tightly with one hand and clenching their fists with the other, placing them against their chests.

This is the highest level of courtesy the Imperial Guards can offer during a "wartime state".

Now that I am on duty in the palace, I am unable to perform the kneeling ceremony.

But they all lowered their proud heads and shouted in unison, "Welcome back, Great Ming War God, in triumph!"

"Welcome back, Great Ming War God, in triumph..."

The resounding echo reverberated throughout the entire palace, reaching the ears of the ministers in the court from afar.

What is military might?

They had not seen Xu Shan before his return.

After Xu Shan stepped into the palace, they had already seen through the limited perspective of the imperial guards.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shan, who strode confidently toward the main hall, responded loudly, "The sun, moon, mountains, and rivers will endure forever."

"The Ming Dynasty will last forever!"

"I swear to serve Your Majesty to the death."

'boom.'

Xu Shan's words escalated the dialogue.

Then, the leaders of the Imperial Guards, led by Li Xujiu, knelt on one knee and faced the dragon throne in the main hall, repeating, "May the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers live on forever."

"The Ming Dynasty will last forever!"

"I swear to serve Your Majesty to the death."

The deafening sound echoed throughout the vast palace for a long time, carrying the slogans with it.

At that moment, even the civil and military officials in the court were filled with fervor.

In particular, after Lai Mingcheng took the lead in kneeling, all the ministers followed suit.

In an instant, the once lifeless court was filled with the loud voices of the ministers echoing their agreement.

Only after Xu Shan, dressed in a crimson python robe, stepped across the threshold did the civil and military officials slowly rise at Zhu Youwei's command, "All my beloved ministers, rise!"

"Your subject, Xu Shan, pays his respects to Your Majesty..."

"Xu Qing, there is no need for formalities."

"The backbone of the Ming Dynasty cannot be bent even slightly."

Without even waiting for Xu Shan, she bowed and paid her respects. Zhu Youwei also treated him with the highest honors in the court!

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Having said this, Xu Shan, who held the military tally of the Shu, Jiangxi, and Jiangnan navies, as well as the royal seal, voluntarily raised them to the top of his head and presented them to His Majesty.

These things were all given to Xu Shan by Dao Junmo after he entered the palace.

Its purpose, of course, was to make Xu Shan hand over the item to His Majesty in public, in order to demonstrate the prestige of the nation!

This can also be seen as a way to commend him.

"Your Majesty has ordered me to enter Shu to quell the rebellion..."

After briefly explaining the capture of Shu Commandery and the restoration of Jiangxi, Xu Shan loudly added: "To the west lies Wudi City, which openly declares itself independent."

"As a personal guard of the Emperor, I naturally cannot tolerate [chivalrous men using martial arts to disrupt order, or Confucian scholars using literature to disrupt the law]."

"At noon the day before yesterday, the bandit leader Wang Xianzhi was beheaded in Wudi City. Thousands of traitors and officials who colluded with him were also purged."

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and led my troops to pacify Jiangnan!"

'boom.'

When the civil and military officials present heard these words, the scene erupted in uproar.

Xu Shan had killed countless gentry and aristocratic families in Jiangnan, as well as those who had rebelled with the Zhou family. They had some idea of ​​what was going on.

However, after learning that Wang Xianzhi, a top-tier figure in the Ming Dynasty known as the "Second Best in the World" and a terrestrial immortal, had also been killed by Xu Shan...

The gloom that had just passed over their faces was replaced by shock and excitement.
