Going north or south? In just a moment, Zhu Yunxi already had a choice in his mind. And he also roughly figured out what happened to Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at Gao Yangzhi, gently pulled the reins in his hands, and the black-haired war horse stepped forward.
Gao Yangzhi, who was behind, understood and followed suit, but he did not forget to look back at the curious little boy.
Bai Yuxiu, who had always hoped that one day he would be able to enter Wenyuan Pavilion as a bachelor in the future, immediately showed a smile on his face, shook the reins, and followed.
Seeing His Highness Taisun like this, Sun Cheng and Tian Mai personally guarded him not far behind the three of them. The Northern Patrol team at the back also started to move again, but because Sun Cheng and Tian Mai were pressing the formation, the speed was not fast and they remained silent. The only sounds on the entire official road were the clanking sounds of the horses and carriages in the team.
Because of the regulations of the imperial court, only officials of third rank or above in Beijing could ride in sedan chairs, so all the officials accompanying the Northern Patrol rode on horses.
Officials in the early days of the Republic of China were capable of doing anything except carrying swords and going into battle to kill enemies.
Whenever something happens, the official with the palm seal can also get on his horse and ride the horse to attack. The accompanying officials, who were riding horses in groups in front of the team, looked at the backs of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun and Mr. Gao Ge, who were riding horses heading north along the official road, with solemn and uneasy expressions on their faces.
"By doing this, His Highness is not going to ignore Fengyang's side?" The censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was accompanying the Northern Inspection this time, frowned, and his face was dark, as if someone owed him a lot of money.
An official from the Merit Examination Department of the Ministry of War said in a low voice: "Your Highness is kind-hearted, and all he thinks about is the livelihood and peace of the people. Now that such a big thing has happened on the river, how can His Highness feel at ease? How can he let the hundreds of people in Henan Road go alone?" Do you care about all the subjects?" Everyone was silent for a while.
Among the officials accompanying the Northern Inspection this time, only one official from the Department of Rites accompanied the Northern Inspection.
The man frowned and said: "The subjects of Henan Province are in danger, but the three divisions of Henan Province and the local prefectures and counties are responsible for relief. The affairs on the river are also managed by the river governor's office. Your Highness is rushing over now, at most it is to stabilize people's hearts. . The hearts of the subjects of Henan Province have been stabilized, but what about Fengyang? Why was that person deposed, demoted, and imprisoned in the Imperial City of Zhongdu? I think you all know it. Such things, It is related to the foundation of our country, the Ming Dynasty, and the position of the country's crown prince. How can we just ignore it so easily?" The accompanying official from the Ministry of Industry also spoke in agreement: "Although the person in the Imperial City of Zhongdu did not take away any money or household items, but the person But he disappeared. His intentions must be different! His plans are huge! I’m afraid you all know what he wants to do and what he can do.” After finishing speaking, the official from the Ministry of Works sneered, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
People around him nodded in agreement.
"That's true!" The people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate agreed and said, "It's just that I can't figure it out. Where can he go? Who is he entangled with?"
"I'm afraid it's not related to His Highness's blockade of Fengyang City this time, but it's probably those gangsters from the White Lotus Society!"
"Jin Yiwei has been doing nothing all these years! In the past thirty years, the White Lotus Society has never been able to clean up. When I return to Beijing this time, I will definitely impeach you!" Someone was so angry that he said in a low voice without caring. He cursed.
The royal guard Tiqi, who was guarding the team on horseback, couldn't help but look sideways. The person who scolded him was actually a long-time courtier in the court. He was in his forties or fifties and could be considered an old man in today's court.
When he saw Jin Yiwei and the restless bastards looking over, his eyes immediately stood up.
"What do you see?"
"How many years has it been? Since the first year of Hongwu, His Majesty has issued a decree prohibiting the White Lotus Society and others. You are eating the emperor's salary, but do not want to share the emperor's worries. You are allowing the treacherous gangsters to harm the place and create turmoil. This spring, Your Highness was helping Henan, and even caused an ambush in Xuzhou Mansion. I heard that people from the White Lotus Society must have participated in the planning that time." The old man scolded, and the faces of several imperial guards suddenly became angry. It's hot, but I don't want to be separated from this old man.
The talkativeness of people like myself has never been a match for this group of scholars. But the old man couldn't stop talking, with an angry look on his face: "How much money does the imperial court spend on food every year, how much power does the Jinyiwei have, a bunch of idiots, and now they are causing such ridiculous things, are you going to call Tai Tai Sun..."
"Calm down your anger and stop saying a few words." The old man cursed. After all, the people around him felt that it was so disrespectful and tried to dissuade him.
The old man hummed twice, glanced at Gao Yangzhi who turned to look over, and then raised his head and looked at the sky with a groan.
After this. The official from the Metropolitan Procuratorate who spoke first said in a low voice: "We'll discuss it later with Mr. Gao Ge and see if the Northern Patrol should submit a memorial to respond to the situation."
"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince must be aware of this matter. The imperial court cannot sit idly by and do nothing. The departments and departments that should handle the matter should suppress the matter, and those who should supervise the handling should suppress it. The Imperial Guards also need to find people, and the Governor's Office must also establish a local guard station. Be careful of bad guys taking advantage of the opportunity to create unrest." In the corner of the team, Qiu Fengzhen, the former magistrate of Fengyang Prefecture in the central capital, who was named to accompany the northern inspection tour, listened to the discussions of these fellow Beijing officials and felt terrified in his heart.
At this moment, Qiu Fengzhen was extremely lucky that she was pushed into the Northern Patrol team by His Highness Taisun, instead of being left in Fengyang City and faced with the trouble of missing people.
Feng Yunsong, you must be unlucky! Qiu Fengzhen tightened her grip on the reins, with a snicker on her lips.
If he were still in Fengyang City, he would definitely have to take care of this matter by himself. He is the prefect of Fengyang and the first herdsman official in Zhongdu.
Although Feng Yunsong is the left-behind officer of Zhongdu, he only commands the troops and horses of the guard station on the border of Zhongdu and does not participate in the local government affairs of Zhongdu.
Qiu Fengzhen's heart was full of joy for her boss. As long as the blame was not on her, everything would be fine.
He couldn't help but raise his head and look at His Highness the Emperor's Grandson, who had countless silhouettes at the back. All the traces of dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared.
Zhu Yunxi paid no attention to the thoughts of these accompanying officials at this moment. He rode his horse at the front, and the official road was lined with fields that were deserted after the autumn harvest.
Further up and down some ditches, a small number of people were cleaning the ditches before winter came, so as to ensure that the ditches would not be blocked after the rains in the coming spring.
Gao Yangzhi said in a low voice: "Today, Henan Dao and Fengyang Mansion came to report separately. Both places are important matters. Your Highness has chosen to go north to Henan Dao at this moment. We all know that His Highness cares about the people and cannot bear the suffering of the people. And I'm afraid His Highness also has a conclusion in his mind about the Fengyang matter. But the ministers are still worried. If left unchecked, changes may occur and local instability may occur. Even if nothing happens, that person's life may be in danger." Bai Yuxiu blinked at the side. , picked up the energy and listened silently to every discussion between the senior and His Highness the Grand Sun.
Zhu Yunxi sighed softly: "It was Gu Xiang's fault that led to him being kidnapped by the gangsters. If Fan Gu had thought more carefully yesterday, he would not have been in danger."
"Oh?" Gao Yangzhi smiled: "Did your Highness guess who was kidnapped?" Zhu Yunxi withdrew his gaze from the field beside the official road and looked at Gao Chunfeng: "This trip to Fengyang, Occasionally, traces of the White Lotus Society and Shanxi merchants were found. The officers and soldiers carried out a large-scale raid, but what about the people hiding outside the city? I think this time, he was kidnapped by those people when he was leaving the city. If I had mentioned Fengyang yesterday The government will not have such a thing happen today." After finishing speaking, there was a hint of apology on his face.
Gao Yangzhi took out a breath and whispered: "Yesterday, Fengyang City was cleansed and countless people were killed. If it were normal, even if there were still criminals who had not been detected, they would have continued to hide or abscond. No one would Unexpectedly, these people would be so bold. Not only did they dare to act today, but they also dared to kidnap that person. Your Highness has been extremely lenient to that person. I have never had such a harmonious situation in all the dynasties." Zhu Yunxi shook his head. : "Now, only because of the more than 300,000 taels of property, Gu can be sure that even if he was kidnapped by the White Lotus Sect, his life will not be in danger for the time being. But the matter of Henan Road cannot be postponed. , the matter is urgent, so we can only put it aside for the time being." Bai Yuxiu suddenly whispered at this time: "No matter what, we still need to know the whereabouts of that person as soon as possible. Whether it is rescue or other methods of disposal, we must always Put it in the court's sight." After saying this, Bai Yuxiu immediately nodded and lowered his eyelids.
Gao Yangzhi glanced sideways at the young junior brother and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's better to send someone to find that person as Xiaobai said." Zhu Yunxi turned his eyes and pondered for a long time.
Then he looked back at Tian Mai, who was holding the battle behind. Tian Mai understood and immediately rode forward: "Your Highness."
"The White Lotus Sect is causing chaos, and Shanxi merchants are involved. Do you think that if the second brother is kidnapped by the White Lotus Sect, where should he go?" Tian Mai turned his eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he answered: "He should go north. That's right." Zhu Yunxi nodded: "It's just like what I thought." Tian Mai immediately clasped his fists and said: "There are our people in Henan Road, over there at Jiubian..." He closed his mouth and glanced at Gao Yangzhi and Bai Yu show.
In this way, Tian Mai continued: "My subordinates have given secret orders to the north and dispatched men to the south to intercept."
"Go." Zhu Yunxi nodded in agreement. Tian Mai clasped his fists and rushed to the back of the team. He is a member of the secret guard, and these people always hide their true identities.
For example, Gao Yangzhi, who is already a cabinet minister here, is also a member of the secret guard. Although his archive has long been destroyed, no one can change it. He has the experience of a secret guard.
Gao Yangzhi glanced twice and nodded slightly. Zhu Yunxi suddenly spoke again: "Tian Mai." Hearing the sound, Tian Mai reined in his horse and turned around: "Your Highness, what else can you tell me?" Zhu Yunxi looked at Tian Mai, and in that sudden moment, the thoughts that came to his mind were whispered. He said: "Find him, get in touch, listen to his opinion, it is up to him to decide whether to leave or stay." Tian Mai hesitated for a moment, but still faithfully performed his duties, followed Zhu Yunxi's order, and turned around to leave. .
This time, it was Gao Yang's turn to be confused. He couldn't help suppressing his voice and said: "What is your highness doing?" Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered, thinking back to the agreement he made with Zhu Yunwen yesterday: "I believe in his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and I also believe that he will never do anything that harms the world. !"...
"I am at odds with Ming Dynasty!"
"I am at odds with that treacherous sycophant Zhu Yunxi!"
"If I don't avenge the past, I swear I won't be a human being!" In an endless reed field, beside the tidal flat near the water, Zhu Yunwen's face flushed, he held Qiuniang's hand tightly, and pointed at the person standing in front of him. Liu Zongsheng, King Han Ming and others roared.
Starting from Fengyang, there are several passages to the north. In addition to the official road going north via Wangzhuangyi and Guzhenyi, there is another waterway.
Starting from Fengyang City and heading east, passing Sishui Station, you can reach the Hongze Lake area. There are lush aquatic plants around Hongze Lake, which obscures the view and makes it easy to hide.
If you board a boat at Hongze Lake and merge into the canal, you can hide among the merchant ships traveling from north to south. After Zhu Yunwen and Qiuniang were kidnapped by the Haoshui River outside Fengyang City, Liu Zongsheng, Han Mingwang and others rushed all the way to the vicinity of Hongze Lake, holding Zhu Yunwen and his wife hostage.
As long as it gets later and the boats on the lake arrive, everyone can board the boats and escape. Zhu Yunwen's abnormal attitude on the road also made Liu Zongsheng and King Han Ming relax their vigilance against him, unaware that the other party would take the opportunity to escape.
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen finally expressed his thoughts clearly in front of Liu Zongsheng and Han Mingwang.
After Zhu Yunwen finished shouting, he glanced at the faces of Liu Zongsheng and King Han Ming at double speed. Then, in a moment, his eyes turned red and bloodshot.
"Zhu Yunxi deserves to die! My mother and concubine died tragically in the Ming court. The revenge of killing my mother will be unforgettable for the rest of my life as a human son. This revenge must be avenged!"
"Hongwu was mediocre. He was deceived by his children and ignored the country. The policies of the court were turbulent and the people were in dire straits. This was really wrong! He governed the country by killing and resorting to military force, and re-established the thousand-year-old system. It was so mediocre."
"Zhu Mingtian is in danger! Anyone with lofty ideals in the world can take it! Reshape the country and restore people's livelihood!" Zhu Yunwen became more and more excited, and stared at Liu Zongsheng.
With a snap, he clasped his hands into fists. He directly faced Liu Zongsheng and bowed. Zhu Yunwen said loudly: "I take care that your Excellency is a rare talent in the world, and you have an outstanding appearance, and you can control the world. In the past and in the past, Your Excellency led everyone to save me, a useless person, from the fire and water. My wife and I are extremely grateful, and we will bear it in our hearts until we die." . Yunwen respectfully asks Your Excellency to take the lead and save the people of the world from fire and water! Yunwen is willing to lead the horse for Your Excellency and serve to the death. I just hope that I can personally kill Zhu Yunxi's child by then!" Liu Zongsheng was almost happy in his heart. .
Suddenly, he who originally just wanted to take advantage of Zhu Yunwen's identity actually wanted to cultivate him.
It's just that the other party is still Zhu Ming's heir after all, and this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. Only when the other party is completely understood can he be entrusted with important tasks.
On the side, King Han Ming was about to explode with anger. Along the way from Haoshui to Hongze Lake, it was clear that he was surrounded by everyone and was the person with the highest status.
He didn't believe that Zhu Yunwen couldn't see it. But the other party went straight to Liu Zongsheng and said what he wanted to recommend him.
Zhu Yunwen saw that the two of them were silent for a while. He put a smile on his face and whispered: "I don't know where we are going now? If there is a place where I want to contribute, it's okay!".........Monthly Ticket Recommended Ticket
