Cao Zhen's voice seemed particularly clear in the dark wilderness.
But his face was solemn, with an expression as if he was ready to die.
"Your Highness is the grandson of the Emperor who supervises the country. He is the foundation of the country. His Highness's safety affects countless people, not to mention the billions of people in the world."
"Your Highness is a man of great wealth, so he should sit high in the hall. All civil servants and generals in the court can be commanded by Your Highness. If Your Highness wants to govern the world, you will have civil servants to assist you. If you want to conquer the four directions, you will have countless good generals to choose from."
"I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty and follow His Highness's ambitions. If His Highness is honored, I will be honored by my family. But I also have the idea that if Your Highness is stable, the world will be stable."
"If something happens to His Highness, the Crown Prince will be sad, and Your Majesty will be sad. I don't know what kind of accidents will happen in the palace at that time. But I know that if something happens to Your Highness, I will definitely be implicated, and in this case, the high-ranking elder may also be deposed."
"Above the court, Hongwu's New Deal is probably just a flash in the pan. Although the ministers are mortal, everyone is mortal. But if the New Deal suddenly stops, what will happen to the people of the world? What will happen to His Highness's layout in these years?"
Cao Zhen raised his hands and hammered the armor on his chest hard, making a loud banging sound.
"In both public and private matters, I do not agree with His Highness entering the Shanxi Road! If His Highness insists on going his own way, I will do that arrogant act and detain His Highness. I will then put on my own shackles and return to the capital to plead guilty!"
In the dark night, outside the Ming Army camp in Qinghua Town, the atmosphere turned extremely cold for a moment.
Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan who founded the Ming Dynasty, had a solemn face and firm eyes, showing no intention of changing.
Gao Yangzhi and others also had dark faces and looked at His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun, who had a calm expression.
a long time.
In the wilderness that had been silent for a long time, Zhu Yunxi chuckled twice.
He pointed at Cao Zhen and said with a smile: "There is someone here who is not afraid of death."
Cao Zhen was extremely nervous at this moment. To publicly remonstrate and refute the emperor's grandson's will was, at best, disrespecting the imperial decree, and at worst, it was arrogance and rebellion.
Just for what he said just now, now that the emperor's grandson has killed him, no one can say anything against it.
However, in the eyes of Cao Zhen and even more people, the emperor's grandson often did not know how important he was.
Cao Zhen felt that even if he had to risk being severely punished by the emperor's grandson tonight, he still had to let him know how important he was to the world.
Above the Ming Dynasty, among the millions of Ming soldiers, Cao Zhen, the most outspoken one, had a rare hard time.
Gao Yangzhi glanced at Cao Zhen from the side, obviously a little surprised by the Jingchuan Marquis's performance tonight which was different from the past.
He said softly: "Your Highness, Marquis Jingchuan spoke sincerely tonight, even if he was a bit abrupt, it is understandable."
Zhu Yunxi glanced sideways at Gao Yangzhi and said, "Gu Ke hasn't said he will be convicted yet."
Cao Zhen glanced at the slight smile on Zhu Yunxi's face, and his expression quickly changed, returning to his usual fearless and carefree look. He bent over, hunched his head, and rubbed his hands.
"I know that His Highness is not the one who refuses to listen to advice, but also the one who is reasonable. I am worried about His Highness's safety. If His Highness really wants to enter Shanxi Road, I, Cao Zhen, will definitely rush in front of His Highness and block the knife for His Highness. .Even if I risk my death at the hands of thieves, I will definitely keep His Highness safe and sound!"
Zhu Yunxi glared at Cao Zhen helplessly: "Stop making jokes, be careful if you turn around and let your son suffer!"
Cao Bing, the legitimate son of Marquis Jingchuan, now goes to school in the Yingtian City Martial Arts Hall, and is a classmate of Chang Jizu.
Their group of young men who have made outstanding achievements in the government have all entered the martial arts hall one after another in the past two years, and they are about a few years apart.
When Cao Zhen heard the emperor's grandson mentioning his boss, he quickly shut up and shook his head, saying that he didn't dare to fool around anymore.
Zhu Yunxi sighed softly. Although these founding heroes and veterans in the army had their moments of majesty, they were the foundation of royal rule. They should be closer to each other more often.
Only by paying equal attention to kindness and power can we achieve success.
He opened his mouth and said: "Shanxi Road, in terms of Gu Gu, of course
Still going. "
Cao Zhen blinked, showing his original worries.
Gao Yangzhi and Wang Xinling frowned slightly.
"I plan to strike first, seize the opportunity before the rebels start their rebellion, surround Shanxi Road from all sides, and annihilate all the traitor chiefs in one fell swoop!"
Zhu Yunxi looked at the Taihang Mountains in the dark night.
This mountain range is among the many mountains distributed in Shanxi Road, squeezing the entire Shanxi Road into a narrow gap.
But it also provides Shanxi Road with unique terrain advantages.
Among those high mountains and ridges, wherever a large number of people can pass, there are passes set up and troops stationed.
It is difficult to get out of Shanxi Road.
But if people from outside want to get in, it will be difficult to get in as long as Shanxi Road blocks all the passes.
"Your Highness must have made a plan in mind."
Wang Xinling, the young general affairs envoy and governor, cooed in a low voice.
He felt that His Highness was not that reckless person, although he would have taken the lead on the Jiaozhi Road and climbed to the city first.
But after all these years, His Highness must have realized that with his status, he no longer has to do such dangerous things.
What is the current situation of the Shanxi Road behind the Taihang Mountains?
It was a dangerous place where rebels could spawn everywhere at any time.
Moreover, this gang of rebels is completely different from the past.
They have money, food and people.
Shanxi Road is now a volcano that has not yet erupted. Under the high mountain pass, surging magma is stirring, and every collision will spark violent flames.
And this volcano may completely erupt at any time, submerging and swallowing everything at the foot of the mountain.
If the emperor's grandson didn't have a full plan, it would be absolutely impossible for him to say that he would change his plan and risk his life to enter Shanxi Road.
Zhu Yunxi turned to look at Wang Xinling, with a smile on his face.
"The troops and horses of the guard stations in the prefectures south of Taiyuan Prefecture were cleared. In the previous period, the Shanxi Dusi was sent to guard against the Taoists in Henan Province, and the guards and horses were transferred southward.
Now, on the pretext that the imperial court will launch an expedition outside the Pass next year in the spring, the troops and horses of the Shanxi Dusi Guard Station will be sent north to Datong, and will be transferred to the command of Liang Guogong Lan Yu.
Use Datong soldiers and horses to secretly guard and suppress the soldiers and horses of the guard station heading north in Shanxi Road. "
Clear out the troops and horses of the guard posts in Shanxi Province, leaving only a limited number of troops and horses in Taiyuan Prefecture.
This is one of Zhu Yunxi's plans.
Gao Yangzhi moved his eyelids a few times, obviously thinking about the implications and possibilities.
He spoke slowly and said: "Relocating the troops of the Shanxi Taoist Guard Station from the north to the south can certainly reduce the subsequent pressure, even if the Shanxi merchants have bribed them in the past. However, there are also soldiers and horses from other parts of the imperial court around the transferred guard station to deter them, probably It will not change. In this way, if His Highness wants to enter Shanxi Road, the risks he may suffer will be much smaller."
As a cabinet minister, even the youngest one, Gao Yangzhi still spoke very carefully.
Cao Zhen whispered, "The risk has become smaller, but it doesn't mean there is no risk at all."
Gao Yangzhi took over and said, "That's right. And if Shanxi Dao soldiers and horses are mobilized on a large scale, it will definitely attract the attention of the rebels. Even if the court covers it up, it is impossible to eliminate the suspicions of the rebels."
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "There are still three guards and horses from the Jin Palace in Taiyuan City for us to call upon."
At this time, Sun Cheng's expression changed slightly.
He hurried forward and said, "I apologize."
Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Sun Cheng: "What crime are you guilty of?"
Sun Cheng's face turned red and he immediately knelt on the ground: "Reporting to Your Highness, just before nightfall, I received a piece of news from Shanxi Road, and I haven't had time to report it to Your Highness."
Cao Zhen couldn't stand it anymore and yelled: "You just say what you want and fart, and you hang it here to keep people's appetite?"
Sun Cheng whispered: "Your Highness
In the previous article, the Prince of Jin's Mansion asked His Highness the Prince of Jin to go north to Datong, sit in Datong with Duke Liang, and control the northern part of Shanxi Road. His Royal Highness the King of Jin has already disobeyed the order and said that he will be with Taiyuan City and defend Taiyuan City from falling into the hands of thieves. The three guards of the Jin Palace will also... also be transferred to Ningwu County..."
Prince Jin of the Ming Dynasty wants to be with Taiyuan City?
In the dark night, it was clearly impossible to see everyone's face clearly, but you could see the rich surprise on each other's faces.
Zhu Yunxi was surprised, but also sighed.
"Third uncle, this is putting yourself in danger. You know that you may be in danger, but you don't change your face and stay with the city."
Gao Yangzhi said anxiously: "Isn't King Jin just fooling around! If the thieves capture King Jin, what will your Highness do with him? If the thieves are allowed to cause chaos and ignored, the world will be chilled and the people will suffer. If it is suppressed by force, Then the King of Jin is in danger, and His Highness will be criticized by the clan!"
Cao Zhen also showed dissatisfaction.
He knew that King Jin had always been close to His Highness the Crown Prince, and he was also the one who supported His Highness the most among the many sects and vassals in the Nine Borders.
But this choice is obviously disrupting the layout here.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes were a little blurred.
He thought of Zhu Jixi, the eldest son of the Jin Dynasty, who was studying in the main hall.
Among the grandsons of the old man, Zhu Jixi is the eldest one now.
But in Yingtian, he is also the most low-key and the one who least likes to talk to others.
In Zhu Yunxi's impression, Zhu Jixi was not as wise as Brother Chi and not as brave as Brother Bing, but he had another feeling that made people want to stay by their side.
Among the few contacts he had, Zhu Jixi's upright temperament was the most vivid in Zhu Yunxi's memory.
Moreover, it seems that because of the relationship between his third uncle and the prince's father, Zhu Jixi is always willing to chat with him. But he never talked about things in the court. He only talked about what happened to his cousins in the main hall every day. He would also occasionally talk about the new things he encountered in Yingtian City after the big main hall was on vacation.
This is an honest and upright person who doesn't have much thought.
Then, Zhu Yunxi thought about the changes that would happen to the Jin Wang family in the future.
I couldn't help but feel a little more sad.
Thinking about the Third Prince Uncle who could kill people in public in the vassal state, and heard that Jin King Zhu Fan had improved a lot in the past few years, and he had gained a lot of virtuous reputation.
Zhu Yunxi showed a smile on his face and said, "Uncle Three Kings want to be with Taiyuan City. This is the integrity of my clan! It is a violation of the order, but why don't we think in a different direction?"
Cao Zhen quickly asked out of curiosity: "Now that it's like this, what else can Your Highness do?"
Zhu Yunxi said softly: "Since the three uncles are also staying in Taiyuan City, their men must be well prepared. It is absolutely impossible to only have the three guards of the palace who will be transferred out of Taiyuan City. When the time comes, why can't we be in Taiyuan?" The city should cooperate with the outside world to completely clear out Taiyuan City and make Shanxi Road its original source!"
Gao Yangzhi saw that it was absolutely impossible for the emperor's grandson to change his mind. Although he was nervous, he kept thinking about various arrangements if the Northern Patrol really wanted to enter Shanxi Road.
In the dark night, this young man in red robes, holding the authority of the imperial cabinet minister, said in a deep voice: "If Your Highness crosses Taihang to enter Shanxi, one of the Northern Patrol troops is indispensable. The soldiers and horses under the command of Jingchuan Marquis will be on the left and right to protect you." , or follow in a short day.”
A ruthless look appeared on Gao Yangzhi's face: "Shanxi roads can be messed up, passes can be missed, and people can be in danger. However! Your Highness's safety is as important as Mount Tai, and there must be no mistakes!"
…
On the Nine-Border Great Wall in the north, far away from Huaiqing Mansion.
The winter snow has completely covered the inside and outside of the Great Wall.
The cold and biting wind made the Ming Dynasty frontier troops on the Great Wall huddle in their forts and warm themselves by the fire instead of going outside.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
The power of ice and snow.
One snow after another is always falling.
It went down until the entire north became inaccessible, and then it stopped.
It seems that the snow in the north is reminding people not to go out unless there is nothing wrong.
Just the operation of the empire always requires people to get out of the warm house with the fire burning.
Xuanfu Town, together with Datong Town to the west, form an important military pass of the Great Wall in Shanxi and Hebei.
There are 11 guards and 7,000 households in Xuanfu Town, and a total of more than 60,000 troops gathered in one place. It forms the most important defense line on the northwest side of Hebei Road.
If the enemy army passes through Xuanfu, it can go straight into Beipingfu, and then travel freely throughout Hebei Road, and even continue southward to approach the Yellow River, threatening the peace of the Central Plains.
And on the farthest northeast side in front of Xuanfu Town.
The Great Wall built against the mountains is towering and solemn, quietly guarding the peace of the empire every day.
Kaiping Guard, the Ming Guard with the same name as Kaiping Zhongwu King Chang Yuchun, is the core defense force on the northeast side of Xuanfu Town.
The Kaiping Weizhong Military Administrative Office is located in a monolithic fort between mountains.
Go north from the Monolith Fort and exit the Dongzhazikou and Beizhazikou, and then you can break out of the mountains and enter the desert grassland.
At this time, the Monolithic Fortress, like the entire northern Great Wall, was covered with white snow.
Because the main force of the Kaiping Guards was stationed in the Monolithic Fort at the foot of the mountain, the surrounding area of the huge Monolithic Fort was trampled into black soil by war horses.
From the monolithic castle to the mountain to the north, there are also black traces exposed.
That is the imprint left by the workers on the Monolith Fort repairing the Great Wall.
On the top of the mountain between Beizhanzikou and Xizhazikou, the Great Wall was built along the ridge line in a winding and rugged area. A masonry watchtower and fortress was built on the highest peak.
At this moment, behind the city wall on top of the fort, a group of Ming army generals wearing armor and large cloaks were gathering.
These people were pointing at the outside of the Great Wall and bursting into hearty laughter from time to time.
