Daming heir

Bai Yuxiu, a student, also couldn't figure out what Xie Jin couldn't figure out.

Why did the entire territory of Henan Province and Shandong Province rebel, but the imperial court never sent military reports, instead they presented them with local memorials.

When the outline of Qianqing Palace appeared in front of the master and apprentice.

Xie Jin suddenly trembled and looked back at the young student.

There was a trace of fear in Bai Yuxiu's eyes, and he thought of the most unlikely reason.

The young student, after all, lacked the calmness of the gentleman who has been in the officialdom for a long time, and questioned in a trembling voice: "Sir, are all the local guards also involved in the rebellion?"

"Impossible!" Xie Jin said categorically immediately, but the look on his face was very ugly, and he muttered in a low voice: "Absolutely impossible! Even if the Henan Taoist and Shandong Taoist Guards rebelled, the Central Capital and Xuzhou Mansion would also Impossible to take it."

Bai Yuxiu shook her head, but said again: "The memorial was sent to Yingtian by Fengyang Mansion and Xuzhou Mansion respectively. The students are worried about the guards of Henan Road and Shandong Road. After all, His Highness is in Kaifeng Mansion right now..."

Xie Jin's face became more and more serious.

As Bai Yuxiu said, the news came from Fengyang Mansion and Xuzhou Mansion's memorials, but there is no news about Henan Road and Shandong Road.

This only shows that the situation in Henan Road and Shandong Road is so severe that no one or can't pass the news back to the sky.

At this time, the grandson of the emperor on the west tour was still in Kaifeng Mansion, and no one was sure what kind of situation Kaifeng Mansion was facing at this time.

"Bachelor Jie? Why are you here at this hour?"

When Master Xie Jin and his apprentice were worried about Zhu Yunxi who was far away in Kaifeng Mansion, Sun Gou'er, the head of the inner palace, had already walked out of Qianqing Palace with a smile on his face.

Xie Jin's face calmed down, he restrained the tension and worry that had been hanging on his face, and looked up at Sun Gou'er with a smile.

He cupped his hands: "I am sitting in the Wenyuan Pavilion today, dividing up the papers. I have some questions about government affairs. I am here to ask His Majesty to release me. I don't know... Where is Sun Dajian going at this time?"

Sun Gou'er glanced at Xie Jin, who had a dead face before, but now was smiling again.He looked sideways again, looking at the young green-robed official who was following Xie Jin, just lowering his head, but he didn't know that he had seen through that pale face a long time ago.

"A few days ago the Taisun Mansion came to the palace to say hello. The ladies were very happy and asked the Inner Palace Secretary to buy some things. Now my family is going to pick up some things and send them to the Taisun Mansion."

After finishing speaking, Sun Gou'er retreated into the Qianqing Palace: "Scholar Xie works day and night to work on state affairs. It can be said that he has made great achievements in hard work. My family first invites the scholar to the inner sanctuary, and then goes to Taisun's mansion."

Xie Jingong cupped his hands: "The supervisor still has important matters to do, and foreign ministers dare not delay the supervisor's errand."

Xie Jin wanted to decline, but saw that Sun Gou'er had already turned sideways, standing behind the palace gate and beckoning him to enter quickly.

Knowing that he couldn't evade it, Xie Jin had no choice but to raise his smiling face, glance at Sun Gou'er, then lower his head and look back at Bai Yuxiu who was behind him: "I will present everything to His Majesty later." Your Majesty, you just have to listen."

Bai Yuxiu nodded and followed her husband's footsteps. She had never entered the Fengtian Palace, but it was the first time in her life that she entered the emperor's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, Bachelor Jie is here."

In the Qianqing Palace, Sun Gou'er led Xie Jin directly into the hall, leaving Xie Jin's master and apprentice to stay in the front hall, while he walked to the door of the inner hall and bowed to report to the inner hall.

After a while, I heard a hum from the inner hall.

Sun Gou'er turned around: "Scholar, let's go in."

As he spoke, Sun Gou'er couldn't help but scrutinized the young Bai Yuxiu's face a few times.

There are not many court officials who can be brought here at such a young age.

It can even be said to be very few.

Xie Jin led Bai Yuxiu, walked lightly into the inner hall, and walked under the long curtain. The two of them saw the emperor reclining on the couch, holding some recent important state affairs reviews.

"The minister sees His Majesty and greets the saint."

Xie Jin and Bai Yuxiu were half a body behind, bowing to each other.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who only wore an unlined garment, just idly leaned on the long soft pillow on the wooden couch, and looked sideways at Xie Jin who was rushing over with a smile on his face.

Later, he was quite surprised to see Bai Yuxiu who was brought in by Xie Jin.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's impression, Xie Jin seldom showed that he was friendly with any colleagues in the court, let alone brought a young green-robed official to him in person.

Everyone said that Jane was in the emperor's heart, and it was the emperor's kindness.

But if the emperor doesn't even know what you look like, then there is no way to talk about the emperor's favor.

In many cases, officials who are familiar to the emperor, as long as they do not do badly in the court and do not have a bad reputation, most of the official luck will not be too bad.

Xie Jin also learned to seek advancement in official career for the younger generation?
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the two people in front of him, and couldn't help thinking about the possibility in his heart.

He waved his hand casually: "I'm fine, so you don't need to say hello. Tell me, what do you want to say to me when you come here at this time?"

Xie Jin looked at the complexion on the emperor's face, it seemed to be very good.

In the past two years, most of the government affairs have been handed over to the prince of the East Palace in essence. The emperor will only have a purpose here if it is related to the military affairs of the country.

It's just that next, the emperor's expression will probably change drastically.

Xie Jin hesitated for a few times before he realized that he should go to the East Palace today, and after consulting the prince, he would talk about coming to meet the saint.

Now, it has become a situation where only he and his students face the emperor's anger alone.

Xie Jin didn't speak for a long time, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel even more that he really wanted to make progress for the juniors in the officialdom.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, and looked at Bai Yuxiu: "I'm tight with you, what's your name, which yamen is working now?"

It was the first time for Bai Yuxiu to face the emperor's inquiries, and she immediately tensed up.

Thinking of Mr.'s reminder just now, but now the emperor asked again in person.

Bai Yuxiu could only lower her head and say in a low voice: "Your Majesty, my minister Bai Yuxiu, a Jinshi in Hongwu for 25 years, has observed politics for two years, and now works as an errand in the Tongzheng Shiyamen, serving as the official Tongzheng Sizhiguan."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, and then an impression appeared in his mind, and he said: "I remember you, the prince just mentioned it to me a few days ago."

Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xie Jin suspiciously: "I remember, the prince asked him to go to the Department of Literature and Selection of the Ministry of Officials, and I nodded in agreement."

The meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's words is obvious.

This Bai Yuxiu has been mentioned in front of him by the crown prince, and he has also agreed to be promoted to the head of the Department of Literature and Selection of the Ministry of Officials. You, Xie Jin, brought him here, is it to thank you?

Then there is no need to be so cautious and refuse to speak for a long time.

Xie Jin's face changed several times, and finally after taking a deep breath, he raised his arms and waved his robe and knelt down on the ground.

"Your Majesty, there is a rebellion in Henan Province and Shandong Province. Some localities and guards are involved in it. Two sources of news have blocked it. Now only Zhongdu and Xuzhou have memorials."

Bai Yuxiu was very nervous, seeing her husband kneeling down, she immediately knelt down to the ground too.

Finally he opened his mouth, and Xie Jin immediately added: "There is no news that His Royal Highness Taisun is here, but I think that Taisun is guarded by Tang Bi, the commander of Habayashi Right Guard, and the former commander of Habayashi Left Guard. As long as Yu Ma, the current capital of Henan Province, is here, His Highness's safety is safe."

After saying the news in one breath, and continuing to comfort the emperor, Xie Jin raised his head carefully, and quietly watched the change in the emperor's face.

Once something bad happens, Xie Jin is already ready to call the imperial doctor outside.

It's just that Xie Jin didn't wait for the emperor's storm.

I just saw the emperor's naturally hanging palm, which was lightly clenched into a fist.

Then, Xie Jin heard a soft sigh, and finally a cold snort.

"Can those people finally bear it? Good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and mocked, his face full of sarcasm.

The emperor's reaction was quite different from Xie Jin's expectations. He had no idea for a while, Xie Jin bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, calm down. I think that the current imperial court should send more troops and horses to inquire about the rebellion on Henan and Shandong roads, and return to Beijing in a hurry. Then go to Kaifeng The government sent Jin Yiwei and others to get in touch with His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted twice: "Called the people from the Dudufu of the five armies, the six ministries, five temples and three law divisions, and the yamen of all the ministries of Yingtian to enter the palace. He went to call the Prince Huagai Palace to discuss matters. His own son met something outside. I will take care of it."

Is this over?

Xie Jin raised his head, dazed: "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at Xie Jin: "Tell the prince, the uncles and brothers who asked him to be in the governor's mansion should all go out and exercise their hands and feet."

This is driving people away.

Xie Jin took a deep breath, had no choice but to bow his head and clasp his hands to get up, led Bai Yuxiu to his feet, and retreated carefully under the curtain. Only then did the master and apprentice turn around and walk out with heavy footsteps.

Xie Jin walked very slowly, making Bai Yuxiu feel that the husband had forgotten that His Majesty asked him to call the court and invite the prince to the Huagai Palace to discuss matters with the officials.

Xie Jin, who was walking in front, frowned, and kept his ears on the back of the curtain, but he never heard any movement from inside.

This made him even more suspicious.

When the two walked out of the bedroom, Sun Gou'er, who was still outside, had long since disappeared.

Xie Jin's heart seemed to be pressed by a big rock, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Bai Yuxiu glanced around and said in a low voice: "Sir, students, please go outside the palace and summon all the officials."

Xie Jin didn't seem to hear it, but whispered: "Your Majesty must have known it in advance!"

Bai Yuxiu paused for a moment, thinking back to the time when she entered the Qianqing Palace, until she followed her husband to meet His Majesty, reported on Henan Road and Shandong Road, and now she walked out of the bedroom.

His Majesty seemed to have known in advance from the very beginning, and after hearing the report, he only said a final word.

at last!

His Majesty has probably been waiting for this moment.

Thinking of this, Bai Yuxiu's eyes widened like a bull's, and she looked at Xie Jin who was walking in front: "Sir!"

Xie Jin turned back: "You go to the East Palace, and invite the prince to go to the Fengtian Palace. I will go outside the palace to pass the decree and call all the officials into the palace."

After thinking it over, Bai Yuxiu said softly, "Mister, are you going to see what's going on in the city?"

Xie Jin nodded: "The Central Plains is chaotic, why should Yingtian live alone in peace, and it is uncertain what the chaos has become now."

Xie Jin said worriedly, and the pace of his feet became faster and faster.

In front of Fengtian Temple Square, Xie Jin and Bai Yuxiu said goodbye.

When Xie Jin left West Chang'an City, he was about to let the Pedestrian Division pass by, and sent an order to the Pedestrian Division to call all the officials into the palace.

After leaving the gate of the imperial city, Xie Jin saw that there were obviously more people on West Chang'an Street and Baihu Street than in the past.

Most of the people let the Tongzheng envoy Siyamen pass.

When people saw Xie Jin coming out from behind the city gate, they rushed over immediately.

"Bachelor Xie! Bachelor Xie! What's the situation in the palace now?"

"Bachelor Xie, has His Majesty already known what happened at the Minister's Report today?"

"The rebellious ministers and thieves of the Henan and Shandong provinces rebelled, why the court has not received any news! Also please solve the confusion for us!"

"..."

When the first person appeared in front of Xie Jin and tried to find out the latest news, more and more officials from the DPRK and China surrounded him, making it difficult for Xie Jin, who could already see the pedestrian Si Yamen, to move for a while.

Xie Jin looked at the crowd around him with a silent face, and the noise in his ears made people frown.

"The official is ordered to pass the oral order to the pedestrian department."

After saying a word, Xie Jin glanced at an official who was standing in front of him, who came from an unknown yamen.

When the man heard the word oral instruction, his shoulders shook, and then he saw that Jin was staring at him, and immediately jumped and bumped into the people around him, making way for him.

The road in front of him was given up, Xie Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and picked up his steps to rush to the pedestrian department again, while the officials who learned of the chaos in the Central Plains followed Xie Jin step by step.

It wasn't long before Xie Jin entered the pedestrian department.

The Department of Pedestrians, who was in charge of the transfer from the imperial court, immediately got into action, and rushed out in an instant, rushing to the offices of various departments to convey the oral order.

The people in the yamen of each department in Yingtian City were in chaos.

The Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies was even more in this chaos, and quietly sent generals to sit on the city wall like last winter, and sent more officers and soldiers of the Beijing Army to guard the city wall and gate.

……

Tongguan.

Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for military strategists. It is known as the first danger in the country, the throat of the four towns, and the hundred-two pass.

Going out of Tongguan in the east is Shandong, Henan; entering Tongguan in the west is Guanzhong and Shanxi.

After Tongguan, countless dynasties with glorious epics were established.

Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties, most of the texts in the Central Plains recorded what happened in this piece of land.

However, a few days ago, they were not allowed to cross the border according to the law, and the military horses who were the three guards of the Qin Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty suddenly came out from behind the customs.

The three guards and horses of Qin Wangfu came out of Tongguan with the momentum of thunder, like a plow court sweeping holes, all the way to the east, sweeping away Quedi Town, Pandou Town, Quexiang County, Hongguan, Meilueguan and Lingbao County , Shanzhou City, Xiashiguan, and Guanyintang officially entered the territory of Henan Prefecture. When encountering heavy rebels guarding Shengchi County, Henan Prefecture, they had to guard Yinghao Town to the west of Shengchi County.

Afterwards, the three guards and horses of the Prince Qin's Mansion divided their troops back westward, and went south from Yanxiang Pass to clear up the rebellion in the southern part of Shanzhou Mansion on the Henan Province.

Henan Province, which has [-] rebels and tens of thousands of rebels, has left nearly [-] troops in Shengchi County.Among them, the Tuntian Guardhouse of the Five Thousand Henan Prefecture was the most, which directly blocked the three guards of the Qin Palace from Tongguan and continued to advance eastward.

Only four or five thousand soldiers and horses were stationed in Yinghao Town's Three Guards Battalion of Prince Qin's Mansion. The soldiers and horses ran for days with great momentum, but they had nothing to do with Shengchi County, which was heavily guarded.

"Behind Shengchi County is Xin'an County, and then there is Luoyang City. If Shengchi County is not captured, if our army chooses to detour and approach Luoyang City, we will definitely fall into a situation where we will be attacked from both sides."

In front of the camp, a group of three guards and generals of Prince Qin's Mansion looked worried at Shengchi County to the east of Yinghao Town.

"I just got the military report today. The commander of Henan Daodu has brought troops and horses to calm down the rebels in Gong County. It is just to prevent the rebels from Dengfeng from going north and cut off the retreat of Gong County. General Yu is not in a hurry to attack Xiayan from the west. Master City."

"In this way, our army and Commander Yu's army have fallen into the same predicament."

Several generals spoke anxiously, full of helplessness.

Someone roared angrily: "There are rebels all over the place, and the gentry and landlords are leading the bravery of the country, coercing the people into rebellion. How do we fight this battle? Kill them all? Doesn't matter whether the people are coerced or not?"

"Our manpower is still too small, and we are already stretched to take down the Shanzhou Mansion. If we don't wait for the Shanzhou Mansion to be completely pacified, it is impossible for us to have enough troops to enter Luoyang City."

The people could hardly see how to take down Luoyang City in Henan Province, which was the most serious rebellion in Henan Province, under the situation of rebellion everywhere.

After a long silence.

Someone suddenly said: "Did we forget that there is a support army! As long as this support army arrives, let alone Luoyang City, even Ruzhou Prefecture and Nanyang Prefecture in the south can be pacified together!"

Everyone looked sideways.

They are all generals and schools in the army, and they quickly reacted.

"It's the Duke of Liang, General Lan!"

"His Royal Highness ordered General Lan to go out of Tongguan to the east, and the Pingzhen Henan Road rebelled. The military order has already entered Tongguan, but now no one knows when the general will come with the army of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division."

The person who spoke first was full of joy: "It must be soon! As long as the general leads the troops, half of the Henan Road will be secured!"

Just as everyone was still wondering when Duke Liang, who had left Beijing to quell the war in the northwest, would arrive with the northwest frontier army.

Behind the camp of the three guards of Prince Qin's Mansion in Yinghao Town, there was a sudden commotion.

Then, the noisy sound gradually turned into a clear sound of hoofbeats, and then the sound of horseshoes became more and more intensive.

The gravel on the ground east of the camp also began to dance.

"It's the arrival of the army!"

"Where can the army come here at this time?"

"It must be General Lan's northwest frontier army coming!"

Everyone was overjoyed, turned around and rushed into the camp, and rushed to the rear of the camp.

When the two huge flags with cool characters and blue characters appeared in the eyes of the three guards and generals of Prince Qin's Mansion, the army horses who had been stationed in Yinghao Town for many days with their hands and feet tied up burst into cheers instantly.

When groups of cavalry from the Northwest Frontier Army's Horse Army Battalion rolled towards the Three Guards' Battalion in waves.

Several cavalrymen who were carrying the banner on their shoulders had already left the army, rushed forward to the rear of the camp, and shuttled back and forth behind the camp.

"Grandfather of the State of Liang, General, Governor of the Five Armies Commander's Mansion, Imperial Envoy Pingzhen Northwest Affairs Lanyu."

"According to the decree of the emperor's grandson, lead the army east out of Tongguan, and rebel in Pingzhen Henan Road!"
