At this time, under the cloudy mountains, the spring breeze carries a chilling air, as if you can return to winter if you are not careful.
Xiao Yuanfu had already returned to the Saint's Hall, to the academy that made him feel at ease. Although this place is materially poor, it is spiritually rich. Looking at the children sitting in front of him, shaking their heads and reading, he felt a long-lost satisfaction. Rather than returning to a home that made him feel depressed, he would rather stay in this simple school built by the villagers. He was afraid of facing his wife's grief over losing their son, and was afraid of entering the room where his son had been.
Dong-dong-dong, a sudden knock on the door interrupted Xiao Yuanfu's thoughts. He quickly walked over and opened the door, but unexpectedly, a group of officers and soldiers broke in.
"This place has been requisitioned, you all get out."
Xiao Yuanfu was stunned for a long time and hesitated: "This... Sir, I don't know... why is this?"
"If I tell you to get out, get out, or you'll get beaten." A sergeant jumped out and cursed.
But there was a "snap" sound, and a whip was struck on the sergeant. Then a middle-aged man walked in. The man was wearing a golden mercury-rubbed long body armor, a golden phoenix-winged red tasseled wine cup helmet, and inside Lined with a yellow skirt, it looks majestic and domineering.
The sergeants were startled and all knelt down.
The man didn't even look at them, he walked straight towards Xiao Yuanfu, cupped his hands and said, "The old man is frightened. I... was just about to explain it to you in person, but I didn't expect these ignorant people to act so recklessly here."
Xiao Yuanfu didn't know that the person in front of him was the ruler of the world who was rarely seen by ordinary people - Zhu Di, the third king of the Ming Dynasty. He didn't recognize the "I" he just changed his mouth to, he just said he was a general. Even so, he couldn't afford to offend himself, so he quickly bowed down and said, "I didn't know that the general was here, and the common people were rude."
Zhu Di smiled slightly, helped Xiao Yuan up and said, "We have official business here and would like to borrow your place as a tent temporarily. Is that possible?"
Xiao Yuanfu quickly replied: "Although the general can use it, it's just that this place is simple and simple, and I'm afraid it can't meet the general's needs."
Zhu Di laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, just take the children away first."
Soon, a simple shogunate was set up. Zhu Di stood in the lobby with a general and two guards. Behind him, where the portrait of Confucius originally hung was covered with a military map. From time to time, horses came in and out of the door to report on the situation.
"The strongholds left by the White Lotus Sect, Gen Yue League, and Tian Xia Hui at the foot of the mountain have been wiped out by the army. Now, there are ambushes at every intersection. As long as there is any movement on the mountain, even if a bird comes down, we will catch it. live."
After listening to his subordinate's report, Zhu Di smiled with satisfaction.
At this time, no one on the mountain knew that danger was approaching except Huicheng who was secretly happy. After many fierce battles, Fang encountered many officers and soldiers ambushing them at the foot of the mountain. Even though they were three-headed and six-armed, they could only be captured at this time.
Near noon, Zhu Di received reports from various intersections one after another, and then people were escorted over one after another and guarded in the open space outside the private school. Also being guarded here was Chen Quanzhong. Huicheng introduced these people to Zhu Di one by one in the back room. Among them are Xu Hao, the remnant of Tianwan, the third son of Ming Yuzhen, Ming Xiang, the leader of Tianxiahui, Tang Sai'er, the holy envoy of the White Lotus Sect, and his seventeenth brother Ning Wang Zhu Quan, as well as the great masters who helped him conquer the world. Monk Daoyan.
However, Huicheng suddenly panicked because he didn't see Fang Lingyan and the others. Could it be that they were still on the mountain?
When Zhu Di heard this, he ordered people to go up the mountain to search quickly. At the same time, he ordered people to follow Huicheng to transport the gold and silver treasures from the mountain down the mountain. As a result, there were many fewer officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain.
After the arrangements were completed, Zhu Di ordered people to bring in Ning Wang Zhu Quan.
Zhu Quan originally thought that he was a blind person, but he dared to tie himself up, cursed and walked in. When he looked up, he shuddered and quickly knelt down and put his face to the ground, not daring to breathe out.
Zhu Di glanced at it and smiled secretly in his heart. This seventeenth brother was still so incompetent. He said: "Old Seventeenth? Why are you here?" Don’t look at who it is, please untie me quickly.”
Zhu Di walked over, took Zhu Quan's hand, put it aside and sat up, asking with concern: "How are you, are you not hurt?".
Ning Wang Zhu Quan was relieved at this time and cried to Zhu Di: "Brother Emperor... I am fine. I came here to play. I never thought that I would meet these people in the world. I will cause trouble to the emperor."
Zhu Di knew that in his lifetime, this seventeenth brother would not be able to make any big waves, so he comforted him with kind words and then let him go.
Ning Wang Zhu Quan left the Saint's Hall, as if escaping from a prison, and took two guards with him to go to Jiangxi at high speed.
Zhu Di then met Dao Yan again, along with Zhang Xin, the headmaster of the Zongheng Sect.
Facing Zhu Di, Yao Guangxiao seemed very calm.
Although Zhu Di was furious, he thought of Yao Guangxiao's contribution and had an appointment with Zhang Xin beforehand, so he could not break his promise, so he severely reprimanded Yao Guangxiao, and then removed him from the post of Zuo Shanshi, the monk's director, and still ordered him to lead the prince's younger brother. With the title of Master, he presides over Qingshou Temple and is not allowed to leave Yingtian Mansion without approval.
Yao Guangxiao did not expect that he would be forgiven by the emperor for doing such a thing. For a moment, he burst into tears. He prostrated himself on the ground and shouted that he would be punished by death. He also promised not to participate in political affairs again in his lifetime and only wanted to worship the Buddha.
With Yao Guangxiao's plea, Ming Siquan was also spared.
Later, Zhang Xin issued an edict in the name of the last head of the Zongheng Sect, disbanding the Zongheng Sect, and asked himself to be removed from the post of Governor Signature, but Zhu Di did not approve.
Zhu Di issued a decree and the others were placed under strict supervision until Fang Lingyan, Li Rufeng, Feng Yanlang, Jing Yunpeng and others were captured and escorted back to Beijing.
Huicheng, who came back from the mountain, was shocked when he learned that the emperor had pardoned Yao Guangxiao. He originally designed this plan to kill Yao Guangxiao, but his Majesty missed his old friendship and listened to Longping Hou Zhang Xin's words to let the tiger return to the mountain. I was afraid that disaster would happen sooner or later, so he met with Zhu Di and asked to send someone to hunt down Yao Guangxiao immediately.
When Zhu Di heard this, he seemed a little regretful and felt a little embarrassed, so he said: "I have just ordered him to be pardoned, how can I go back on my word?"
Huicheng saw that the emperor was worried and raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about it. I will handle this matter on my own without damaging your Majesty's wisdom."
Seeing Huicheng walking out of the door, Zhu Di raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously. Let them fight each other. No matter who wins or loses, it will be a good thing for him.
Huicheng walked out of the door and happened to meet Wang Yisi. Wang Yisi bowed his hands and asked, "Seeing that the master is in a hurry, I think there is something urgent. I wonder if I can help you?"
Huicheng glanced at Wang Yisi and hesitated for a moment: "Then please go to the camp and select a group of good players. Follow me and set off immediately. I'll wait for you here. Be quick."
Wang Yisi responded "yes" and turned to leave. After a while, a group of people gathered and roared away under the leadership of Huicheng. Among them was one person, Chen Quanzhong.
