Daming heir

Chapter 412 Surrender Allegiance to His Royal Highness the Great Empress Dowager

The bottom line of a person can be continuously lowered under certain circumstances.

Undoubtedly, the Kong family will no longer mention half a word of decent things, nor will they think about the dignity of a thousand-year-old family.

Whether it can escape this catastrophe is the top priority.

Some people are trying to protect their status and glory, while others are plotting to subvert things.

But outside the cloudy and bleak Confucius Mansion, it was a sunny day.

In the camp of the Chinese Army where Zhang Zhiyuan belongs.

The loyal and iron-blooded frontier soldiers of the Ming Dynasty welcomed their young and heroic His Highness the Emperor Grandson of the Supervisor of the Kingdom.

Starting from the gate, the elite cavalrymen, all in full armor, lined up on both sides, riding their horses, bowed their heads silently, and moved their eyes silently as His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun approached.

Zhu Yunxi liked this kind of atmosphere very much, and this kind of military salute started from the lecture hall.

Accompanied by Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing, he walked towards the camp surrounded by Jin Yiwei led by Zhang Hui and Tian Mai.

The soldiers of the frontier army, who had dug trenches for countless days, all showed eagerness when they saw Zhu Yunxie's figure.

Zhu Yunxi walked all the way to the big tent of the Chinese army, climbed up the steps, turned around and looked at the soldiers gathered on the left and right: "The Ming army is mighty."

The voice he spoke was not too loud, it was very calm, without the roar and encouragement when he was about to charge.

But what responded to him was a wave of higher waves of responses.

"Da Ming is mighty!"

"Da Ming is mighty!"

"Da Ming is mighty!"

The soldiers in the camp were shouting with all their strength, the veins on their necks were bulging, and their faces were flushed.

Zhang Zhiyuan and Tang Keke led a group of Beiping generals, and they were waiting in front of the Chinese army's tent at this moment. Looking at this scene, everyone felt proud.

Zhu Yunxi pressed his hands against the soldiers, then turned to look at Zhang Zhiyuan and the others, with a smile on his face: "These people are well taken by you."

Zhang Zhiyuan and others immediately stepped forward, clasped their fists together: "This is the last job of the general and others, just to sharpen the sharp edge in Daming's hands."

Zhu Yunxi was noncommittal.

The Ming army at this time was the most powerful violent group in the world.

Everyone entered the tent of the Chinese army one after another, and a map and a sand table had already been arranged in the tent.

Tang Keke played the role of the staff officer, and when everyone sat down, he held a long pole in his hand and compared and pointed out on the geomancy and the sand table.

"Right now, the Shandong Dao rebellion is still unclear, but the rebels are focusing on several main points."

Tang Keke waved his pole in his hand: "Water transportation. The rebels have been controlling the water transportation, blocking looting, creating turmoil, and interrupting the north-south freight. When the officers and soldiers go out, the rebels will disperse, and when the officers and soldiers leave, the rebels will come again. All the garrisons , the rebels will watch the strength of the army and either encircle or harass them and wait for reinforcements."

"In addition, the Yanzhou Mansion is really important. Apart from the Confucian Mansion here, Yanzhou City also has the King Lu's Mansion. If the rebels take Yanzhou, not only will the water transportation be interrupted, but the two mansions will also be in a desperate situation."

"It is precisely because of this that the last general and others have just decided to go south to Yanzhou and station troops. I hope His Highness will understand."

Zhu Yunxi sat high on the main seat, looked around the generals in the tent, and swept over the faces of these people one by one.

The situation in Shandong Road is inherently delicate.Located between Zhili and Beiping, it has always existed as a supplement to the Nine Frontiers, such as the source of soldiers in Qingzhou.

And in Shandong Road, there are two kings of Qi and King Lu who established their residences as the state.In addition, there is a Confucian mansion, which has become three giant Buddhas on Shandong Road.

The king of Qi is brave and brave, and leads his troops outside all the year round. He uses the soldiers and horses of the Shandong Daowei Station to support the nine-sided war.In the area of ​​Qingzhou, traitors would not dare to come close.

But here in Yanzhou Mansion.

The first king of Lu, that is, Zhu Tan, Zhu Yunxi's tenth uncle, died of excessive consumption of Jinshi medicine at the age of twenty.Now Lu Wang's mansion is inherited by his only son Zhu Zhaohui, but Zhu Zhaohui is only six or seven years old this year, and he still doesn't know how to deal with the affairs of the mansion, and how can he control the entire Yanzhou Mansion.

Zhu Yunxie said: "What is the strategy now? Everyone knows the situation in Shandong Road. It seems that there are no rebels as expected after the Confucian Mansion was surrounded. The army is out, and if there is no movement for a long time, others will probably think that our army can be safe again." war."

Inside the big tent, the generals of the Beiping capital and Yanwangfu's guard capital were all blushing.

Now they are talking behind closed doors, and there are no soldiers present. The emperor's grandson directly asked how to solve the rebellion in Shandong Road.

Zhang Zhiyuan and Tang Keke looked at each other, both feeling embarrassed and embarrassing.

Zhu Yunxi tapped his fingertips lightly, and laughed: "I never thought that countering the rebellion in a place like Shandong would be more complicated than that of the generation in Yunnan and Guizhou. Order the battalions of the army to prepare, and it will take a few days for the rebels to surface one by one." Out of the water."

The generals didn't know what the words meant, but they still stood up one after another and clasped their hands together.

After noon.

The movement in the Confucian mansion was also much quieter, and everything seemed to be temporarily suppressed.

However, after a short period of calm, there was an uproar in the Confucian Mansion, and the noise kept ringing.During the period, it was accompanied by people's shouts, ping-ping-pong-pong piercing sounds one after another, and there were some faint moans.

The movements of the Confucian mansion naturally could not escape the attention of the army outside the mansion, and the news was quickly uploaded all the way to the top.

Surrounded by a group of generals, Zhu Yunxi looked at the Confucian mansion, and saw several thick smoke rising from the Confucian mansion.

"What's the matter?" Tang Keke opened his mouth, as if he had never seen the world.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes were serious: "The Kong family started fighting themselves?"

Zhang Zhiyuan stared at Zhu Yunxi's back, waiting for the order from His Highness the Emperor Taisun, he would lead people into Kong's house.

Not far away, Tian Mai hurried back with his people, and when he came to Zhu Yunxi, he bowed and lowered his head.

"His Royal Highness, it's a fight between several small houses of the Kong family who have no hope of succeeding to the position of Duke Sheng."

As soon as Tian Mai's words came out, the faces of everyone present suddenly became strange.

Cooperating with the big family of the Kong family and a few confident ones, they did not start a fight, but the small ones who had no support actually fought on their own first.

Zhu Shangbing snorted at the side: "It's not that the surname is Kong, so everyone is as intelligent as a saint, and they are the best in the world."

Tian Mai coughed lightly, looked at the crowd, and his eyes indicated that he hadn't finished speaking.

After everyone converges.

Tian Maicai continued: "The eldest son of the Confucian mansion is descended from the lineage of Shenggong, and he wanted to suppress it when he saw something happened in the mansion, but he didn't want to provoke the branch that someone died in the Confucian temple today. The other side was very angry, and felt that those small branches Fang made troubles today, disrespected the dead, and started fighting. Then, basically all the people present started fighting..."

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were calm, looking at the thick smoke in the Confucian mansion, and said softly: "Where are people from Yan Shenggong's lineage? Where is Kong Gongjian?"

"People from Yan Shenggong's lineage were also present, so they were obviously beaten. Kong Gongjian is going around to put out fires, and he must gather people to quell the fight."

Zhu Yunxi looked back at the south, and said, "It's time for Yan Shenggong to come back. You must not let Yan Shenggong see your house in a mess. Since I am waiting here, I can't just stand by and watch."

After speaking, Zhu Yunxi looked indifferently at Zhang Zhiyuan who had been waiting for many days.

With excitement on Zhang Zhiyuan's face, he immediately cupped his fists: "The last general takes orders!"

After almost roaring, Zhang Zhiyuan turned and left.

A little later, Zhang Zhiyuan had personally led a group of soldiers and horses out of the camp, and headed straight for the Confucian mansion.

During this period, Zhu Yunxi also silently glanced at Tian Mai, who understood, quietly left out of everyone's sight, and disappeared quietly.

The fire in the Confucian mansion was very hot.

In just the blink of an eye, three or four houses were on fire, billowing with thick smoke.

Kong Gongjian's mood was ups and downs today, and he was in a trance. At this time, he led people to suppress the fight in the house and also put out the fire. His whole body was covered in smoke and dust, but he never noticed it.

"stop fighting!"

"You stop fighting!"

"Don't fight again."

There was such a big commotion in the house, and the female family members in the back house had already got the news that it was the men in their own house who were fighting, and the women couldn't control it anymore and rushed over to try to dissuade them.

"Fight! Let them fight! If you beat them to death, they will all be buried together. Don't waste your time, it's better to die together!"

When a brick fell at Kong Gongjian's feet, he finally got angry and roared angrily.

Then no one listened to him at this time, let alone cared about the poor man.

The officers and soldiers came quickly.

Under Zhang Zhiyuan's urging, more than a thousand officers and soldiers rushed into the Confucian mansion.

When these officers and soldiers rushed to the scene of the fight, they stepped forward to help without saying a word.

Other officers and soldiers also brought long wooden stakes, steel ropes, and buckets, and went to put out the fire in the house that was on fire.

Zhang Zhiyuan saw Kong Gongjian who was impotent and furious from a distance.

He greeted loudly: "Young Master Kong! Young Master Kong! Our army suddenly found out that your mansion was on fire today, and there was a lot of people's voices, but the smoke from the fire could not go down for a long time. I was worried in my heart. I was afraid that something would happen to your mansion, so our army specially selected some soldiers to go forward. Come to help your house."

As he said that, Zhang Zhiyuan asked the surrounding officers and soldiers to look over again: "Be quick, all the houses have been pushed down. Under such circumstances, the general wants to see if there is still a fire. This group of people also suppressed it." , how can we fight so far, isn't it an insult to gentleness?"

If it was placed before, Kong Gongjian would probably vomit blood when he heard this.It's really ridiculous that Qiu Ba is able to preach that the people of the Confucian family are insulting to gentlemen.

But now, looking at the Kong family members who were beating together in front of him, Kong Gongjian knew in his heart that the face of the Kong family had already been lost.

He glanced at Zhang Zhiyuan, and kneeled on the ground as soon as his legs gave way.

Kong Gongjian lowered his head: "Kong Zhaowen, thank you General for your help. I wonder where Your Highness is now?"

Zhang Zhiyuan took a step back and replied calmly: "His Royal Highness is waiting for Yan Shenggong to return to the north, and he will enter the mansion with him later. Rescuing the dying and healing the wounded, and protecting Daming, this is my duty as a reckless man, so I can't thank you."

The father is also in the planning of the emperor's grandson.

Kong Gongjian, who knelt limply on the ground and bowed his head, his eyes twitched.

The critical strike attributes of the officers and soldiers had been suppressed outside the Confucian Mansion for more than a month, and finally got a brief burst.

The houses on fire were knocked down amidst the roar, and a huge cloud of dust was raised, and the exquisitely decorated Confucian forest trembled silently.

All the Kong family members who participated in the fight were violently detained by the officers and soldiers. The murder weapons were removed from their bodies, their hands were tied behind their backs, their feet were tied, and they were kicked behind their backs, making it difficult for this person to move.

But in the courtyard further away, there was the sound of fire fighting again.

It seems that the fire spread a little fast.

"Yan Shenggong doesn't have to go so fast, it doesn't matter if he slows down."

Outside the Confucian mansion, Zhu Yunxie personally accompanied the being carried home. The ashen-faced Yan Sheng Gong Kong Na, walked quickly, but spoke in a very steady tone.

Kong Na was already very anxious at this moment, the guard of honor was clamped at the ditch outside the mansion, so he abandoned the sedan chair and rushed to the mansion by himself.

The thick smoke all over the sky, and the emperor's grandson who suddenly appeared and stopped him from going south to Beijing for an audience, really made it difficult for Kong Na to feel at ease.

Kong Na arrived at the gate of the mansion in one breath, turned around to look at Zhu Yunxi, and bowed with crossed hands: "Your Highness, there is a fire in the minister's mansion, which is a dangerous place. Your Highness has something to tell you, and Rong Chen extinguished the fire in the mansion, and then invite Your Highness to enter the mansion." .”

Zhu Yunxi didn't answer, but looked at Zhu Shangbing who was beside him.

Xiaohan smiled slightly, then stretched out his hand and clapped his hands towards the inside of the Confucian mansion.

Immediately, several officers and soldiers opened the door of the mansion from the inside.

"His Royal Highness, the fire in the Confucian Mansion has been brought under control, and the fighting crowd has been subdued."

After the officers and soldiers finished speaking, they stood on both sides behind the gate of the Confucian Mansion with their sabers in their hands.

Kong Na looked at this scene with shock and surprise on his face.

It's only half a day's work, and the Confucian mansion has become like this?

Conne was shocked.

But Zhu Yunxi turned against the guest, stepped forward and grabbed Kong Na's arm, and the two went to the front office of Confucius' mansion.

As Zhu Yunxi officially stepped into the Confucian Mansion for the first time, the news quickly spread everywhere.

When Zhu Yunxi took Kong Na to the third hall in front of the Confucian Mansion, Kong Gongjian had already rushed over with a huge group of people, including those who participated in the brawl.

"The ministers and others are meeting with the emperor's grandson, and your highness is blessed and safe."

"When Your Highness enters the mansion, the Confucian Mansion is filled with brilliance, and the sun and the moon shine together. Although the Kong family has only three inches of tongue, they are willing to do the work of dogs and horses for His Highness."

Kong Na on the side kept blinking, surprised at the scene in front of him.

the Kongs.

Just knelt down like this, and surrendered to the emperor grandson without reservation.

Looking at the people in the other rooms, they were flattering to the extreme, wishing they could stick it up and lick the emperor's grandson's shoes clean.

Zhu Yunxi glanced sideways at Kong Na slightly, and then chuckled lightly: "I didn't expect the etiquette of the Confucius Mansion to be so grand, so get up quickly."

Kong Gongjian glanced at the people in the other houses, then at his father who was next to the emperor's grandson, and thought of the foundation of the big house.

He took a deep breath, before the other people who were already eager to try, knelt on the ground, moved his legs, and ran straight to Zhu Yunxi's feet.

"Today the Confucian mansion caught fire and the clansmen fought. Fortunately, His Highness came to the rescue. Your Highness's kindness to the Kong family, I and my father will not dare to forget in this life."

As he spoke, Kong Gongjian kept winking at his father, Kong Na, who was still out of his mind.

My son is already kneeling here, so you should hurry up and kneel down.

Kong Gongjian was very anxious.

But Kong Na was still wandering outside the whole time.

On the other side, members of the other houses of the Kong family already yelled.

"Your Highness, Kong Na and his son are not worthy of being Lord Yansheng!"
