The autumn nights are long and the wind is biting.
A bright moon hung in the sky, with light gray clouds covering most of its brilliance.
On the wilderness trail, a noisy sound of horse hooves came over, approaching from far away.
Then he stopped outside a dilapidated farmyard.
Thirteen people, thirteen fast horses, and a carriage behind them, are coming.
There were more than 20 well-dressed men outside the small courtyard, guarding the small courtyard tightly.
They are all members of Jinyiwei.
The person who arrived was Zhu Ji, the commander of Jinyiwei, and the person sitting in the carriage was Xu Youzhen, the censor of Youdu.
Zhu Ji got off his horse and asked the Jin Yiwei who came to salute, "Where is the Supreme Emperor?"
"In the earthen house in the yard." Qian Zhong, a member of Jinyiwei Baihu, said quickly.
At this time, Xu Youzhen's carriage had just arrived, and after hearing Baihu Qian Zhong's words, he immediately turned over and jumped out of the carriage without caring about the elegance of the scholar. Then he ran straight into the small courtyard without even saying hello to Zhu Ji.
Seeing the only adobe house in the small courtyard, joy jumped on his face. He came so far away, and he really let himself catch the emperor.
He was the first to speak out in the Yingwu Palace, and he was the first to find the Supreme Emperor outside the customs. This achievement is even greater.
At this time, Zhu Ji also entered the small courtyard with his entourage, and only saw Xu Youzhen kneeling in front of the door, shouting: "Wei Chen, the bachelor of Dongge, and the censor of Youdu, Xu Youzhen, are here to see the Supreme Emperor."
After the ceremony, there was no sound in the room.
"Xu Youzhen, the bachelor of Dongge University and the imperial censor of the right capital, comes to see the Supreme Emperor. Please see the Holy Face of the Supreme Emperor."
It was still quiet, no sound came from it.
Xu Youzhen looked back at Zhu Ji: "The Emperor is really in the room."
"I don't dare to talk nonsense because of my humble position. The two eunuchs accompanying the Supreme Emperor are also inside. They just made a fuss. The Supreme Emperor must have gotten angry and beat the two eunuchs." Baihu Qian Zhong said with his hands.
"How did you find the Supreme Emperor? Is it the notice written by me?" Xu Youzhen asked quickly.
Baihu nodded in agreement and explained what happened in detail.
The day before yesterday, after seeing the announcement, the eunuchs accompanying Zhu Qizhen wanted to leave, but they thought that if they continued to follow the Supreme Emperor, their future would be bleak.
At that moment, my heart became cruel.
Turning around and walking to the two horses, the eunuch glanced around and found two strong men sitting at the tea stall drinking tea. Now these two men were looking at him.
The little eunuch drew his bow without turning back, and walked towards the two men calmly.
These two men are Jin Yiwei.
"You, you are looking for someone." As soon as the eunuch spoke, he attracted the attention of the two Jinyi guards.
They are old men from Jinyiwei. During the Zhengtong Dynasty, they often dealt with people in the palace.
"We are looking for someone, do you know where he is?" The two guards put down their bowls and stood up.
"I know where he is. That noble man just came back from beyond the Great Wall, right?" The little eunuch was eager to confirm.
The two nodded solemnly.
The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where is the noble man?"
A Jin Yiwei asked quickly.
"He is in a ravine less than ten miles away from here. We, we have changed six places. You know, you will always be careful when others find him." The little eunuch said quickly.
The Jin Yiwei who asked the question nodded, looked at the people around him and whispered: "Go and inform Mr. Baihu. I will follow this father-in-law to find the noble man first." biquge.biz
"No, no, the noble is as frightened as a bird right now. You alone can't catch him. I think it's best for me to stabilize the noble first, and you can bring more people over. I'll come back to you tomorrow. “The eunuch began to make plans.
These days, Zhu Qizhen's demeanor changed when he heard the news. If there was any disturbance, he would immediately change places. It was a serious crime for two eunuchs to follow him.
The two Jinyi guards looked at each other, hesitantly.
"You believe me, since I'm here to find you, I just don't want to run around anymore. If I take you back alone, I won't be able to catch the noble man at all. When he runs away, you can't find him if you want to." Difficult."
The two royal guards also knew that the noble man was the Supreme Emperor, and they were very worried. They could not be like other prisoners. If they ran away, they would just kill them with a knife.
Before leaving, although the commander Zhu Ji had expressly stipulated that anyone who found the Supreme Emperor could not be chained, as it would lose the majesty of the royal family, other than that, there was no prohibition. If necessary, some coercive measures could be used.
Although this is the rule, everyone in Jinyiwei is also afraid in their hearts.
That is the Supreme Emperor.
When you meet the Supreme Emperor, you chase him, and he runs away. You continue to chase him. He didn't run away, but you caught him. But what should you do? Make him obedient. The Supreme Emperor will definitely not listen to you. What should you do if he disobeys? Throwing him over his shoulder would make him lose his temper.
Although they wanted to have fun, no one in the Jinyi Guards really dared to do this.
But those big-headed soldiers and government officials dare to do this. They have different identities and different ways of doing things.
No matter how you say it, the Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers, and the expired emperor can be considered half of their monarch.
The two Jinyi guards thought about it and found that they didn't have any better ideas, and what the eunuch said made sense. At the moment, they could only agree to the eunuch and let him come here tomorrow to discuss countermeasures.
When the eunuch left, one of the Jinyi guards got on his horse and went to find Baihu, while the other Jinyi guard stayed near Wangjiaji.
The two Jinyi guards dared to let the eunuch leave alone because the location of Zhu Qizhen has been locked within ten miles. Their hundreds of households are nearby. If they find the hundred households, they should go up to arrest them or make a good plan. Let the hundreds of households decide. As for the Emperor's continued escape, they are not worried. They are hundreds of miles away from Zijin Pass. As long as the Emperor does not enter the capital, they will have plenty of time to play with the Emperor.
Half an hour later, Qian Zhong arrived at Wangjiaji, accompanied by twenty-five people.
Although Qian Zhong belonged to a hundred households, he was very cautious when it came to matters involving the Supreme Emperor. He first asked his men to go out, find more brothers, and blockaded a twenty-mile radius, while he thought about how to remain strong. Catch the Emperor.
On the second day, another eunuch arrived at Wangjiaji at noon and found Qian Zhong.
"Where is that person from yesterday?" The two guards from yesterday asked hurriedly when they saw that there was a substitution.
"Sir, the man from yesterday stayed with the Supreme Emperor today. The Supreme Emperor asked us to only have one person come out every day to inquire about information, but he has already told me to let me come over and join forces with all the adults." The little eunuch hurriedly said said.
"Six miles east of here, there is a small courtyard. The people inside have been sent away. After you go back today, tell the Supreme Emperor that the number of people searching these days is no longer as high as the previous two days, and now The weather is getting colder and you should no longer sleep in the wilderness. You have found a safe place and there are no people around. As long as you bring the Supreme Emperor to that courtyard, your mission will be completed and you will have great credit." Qian Zhong said with a serious face.
After listening, the little eunuch thought about it carefully and thought it was feasible, so he said, "Excuse me, sir, please take me to see it first."
Baihu nodded in agreement and arranged for someone to take the young eunuch to the courtyard.
The little eunuch wandered around for four or five hours before returning to Zhu Qi Town.
Zhu Qizhen has been having a hard time these days.
When the Ming Dynasty had not yet won, Zhu Qizhen lived a precarious life in Mongolia. After the Ming Dynasty's victory, Zhu Qizhen fell into the hands of Tuo Tuo Bu Hua, and his life became much easier, and he could be considered comfortable. After six years of absence, he returned to his homeland of Ming Dynasty, and his life began to become precarious again.
She has a baby she cannot see, a mother she cannot call, and a home she cannot return to. She has no fixed place to live outside every day, starving and freezing.
As a result, Zhu Qizhen was even more disgusted with officials above the court.
The little eunuch also came back with a fish to offer to Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen, who hadn't seen meat for many days, didn't care about the emperor's etiquette, so he caught the grass carp and started to devour it.
"When I return to the capital, I will reward you heavily."
The little eunuch nodded and smiled, then looked at the eunuch next to him calmly.
Wait until Zhu Qizhen finishes eating. The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this servant has found a courtyard. It has been abandoned for a long time, but it can still be inhabited after cleaning. It is getting colder day by day. It doesn't matter to the slaves, but it freezes Your Majesty. That is It's a big sin, I thought, why don't we move into that small courtyard."
It's just a carriage, and you won't get cold if you sit in it, but we are both human beings. We sleep under the carriage every day and wake up from the cold four or five times a night. If this continues, we won't be able to get your reward with our lives.
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand: "No, those dog officials have planted so many people outside, just waiting for me to go out in a big way. If I don't go, I will stay here."
Zhu Qizhen did make some progress during the civil war, but he only made some progress, and it was still early for him to be reborn.
"Your Majesty, I am not stupid. I know that traitors are now in power in the court, but your Majesty, please don't forget that the Queen Mother is your mother. How could she let these ministers block your way home? It would have been earlier. These days, these ministers try to hide things if they can, but I infer that they can't hide it anymore. No, when I went out today, I found that those who were searching for His Majesty had all withdrawn."
"Yes, Your Majesty, my servant also noticed it yesterday, but His Majesty's safety is important, so I didn't dare to say anything."
Zhu Qizhen thought about it carefully after hearing what these two eunuchs said.
How could the Queen Mother allow these ministers to bully her son when she was in the palace? It seemed that she was not far away from returning home.
"Is there a well around the yard?" Zhu Qizhen asked seriously.
The two eunuchs were stunned for a moment, and were stunned by Zhu Qizhen's sudden serious expression. Why did he suddenly jump out of the well? Could it be that after being caught, the Supreme Emperor wanted to jump into the well to show his ambition, or he saw through the two men's tricks.
"I want to take a bath."
After listening to Zhu Qizhen's words, the two eunuchs relaxed and laughed.
"Your Majesty, yes, there is a big well."
In this way, the three of them set off secretly under the cover of night.
Zhu Qizhen was sitting in the carriage, and two eunuchs were driving the carriage outside.
Within half an hour, everyone arrived at the courtyard.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the courtyard door was closed, and more than a dozen guards in royal robes poured out from the house, tightly surrounding the carriage.
"Your Majesty, please move to your room."
Qian Zhong shouted while looking at the carriage.
Zhu Qizhen, who was sitting in the carriage, was still stunned when he was dragged out by two eunuchs.
"Sir, we helped you capture the Emperor, don't forget to take credit for both of us."
Qian Zhong nodded and said, "Let the Supreme Emperor enter the room."
The two eunuchs were very obedient. They picked up Zhu Qizhen and dragged him into the room.
Six years ago, he listened to the eunuch and was defeated. Six years later, he listened to the eunuch again and invited you to enter the urn.
