During the short half year that Zhu Qi was hunting in the north, he had been paying attention to the changes in the current situation in the capital through Boyan Timur. At first, he was ambitious because the Queen Mother Sun's letter revealed the idea of ​​King Tan taking over the throne.

When he returns to Beijing, he will return to the position of unification.

However, with the success of the capital defense battle, Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu gradually secured his throne, and even the Empress Dowager Sun was forced to return to power and retreat to the harem. It was obvious that it was impossible for him to return the throne.

So Zhu Qizhen set his sights on the courtiers. He knew deeply that imperial power was from the bottom up. In order to control power in his own hands, he cultivated a group of eunuchs headed by Wang Zhen to compete with civil servants and honorary officials.

Qi put on a good fight.

Now that the mother-in-law's path to dethroning the emperor is unavailable, she can only rely on the restoration of courtiers and force the emperor's younger brother to abdicate.

There is no shortage of ambitious people in this world who want to gain the power of Conglong, especially those who are frustrated in their official career and want to soar to the sky through success through positioning.

Liu An, the former Guangning Bo and Datong Commander-in-Chief, left his post without permission and was seized by the Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu for questioning. Later, he was released due to the lack of gatekeepers in the capital defense battle and was allowed to perform meritorious service.

Although he was not restored to the title after the war, he was still granted the position of First Grade Governor and Tongzhi, making Liu An responsible for repairing the passes along the border.

The high power of a first-grade governor-general is still far from enough when placed in front of a super-grade noble. A noble who has fallen from a high place is the easiest type to win over. At the same time, he has been guarding Datong Mansion for a long time, which makes Liu An

He still has some influence and prestige among the border troops.

If you want to restore, you must first control the military power. Zhu Qizhen was very enthusiastic towards Liu An and immediately rewarded him with a good horse brought back from outside the Great Wall!

What Zhu Qizhen didn't expect was that Liu An always behaved indifferently when faced with intimacy and rewards. He was completely different from the Liu An who casually promised to become a marquis and then rushed to the capital to ask for rewards.

They are completely different.

"Liu Qing, are you dissatisfied with my reward?"

"The Emperor loves you so much, how can I dare to be dissatisfied?"

Upon hearing this, Liu An quickly denied it.

"Then why do I look at Liu Qing with such a worried look?"

Facing Zhu Qizhen's questioning, Liu An looked confused and didn't know how to answer.

"But it doesn't matter!"

Zhu Qizhen looked at Liu An, who was squirming, and couldn't help but increase his tone. The oppressive feeling of being an emperor came over him, and beads of sweat instantly appeared on Liu An's forehead, and he hurriedly told the truth.

"To your Majesty, there are rumors that your entry into Datong Mansion this time is a delaying strategy for the Tartar invaders. General Guo has already mobilized heavy troops to prepare for the battle."

When Zhu Qizhen knocked on the door, Liu An believed the evil and ate the cake, which resulted in him losing his title.

Now there are rumors that Zhu Qizhen cooperated with the Tartars to invade the border and took the rewarded horse. If he were to be charged with collaborating with the enemy again, it would be unjust for the Emperor to be fine. How could this make Liu An happy?

"That's nonsense. Grand Master sincerely sent me back to Beijing this time. How can he violate the border theory?"

"Besides, you said that Guo Deng has gathered a large number of troops to prepare for war. I don't think this Datong Mansion is ready for war!"

Faced with Zhu Qizhen's questioning, Liu An could only bite the bullet and said: "General Guo's battle location is not in Datong Mansion."

"Where is that?"
