Daming heir

in the cellar.

Zhu Yunqi spoke very seriously, so that Zhang Hui could not find any trace of fraud.

It is far more difficult to find a secret passage that can enter and exit Taiyuan City quietly than to dig a tunnel that connects to Zhu Yunqi's cellar in the courtyard.

Zhang Hui's face was a little dignified.

It is worthwhile for everyone to have a secret way in and out of Taiyuan City, but the difficulty is also enormous.

The dim candlelight was flickering in the cellar, projecting the figures of the two on the wall, appearing somewhat distorted.

The smell from the depths of the earth is densely distributed throughout the cellar, and the earthy smell carries a long-lasting smell that has been frozen for a long time.

Zhu Yunwen's eyes reflected the candlelight swinging between the two, which was extremely bright and firm.

"Liu Zongsheng and Han Mingwang are not of the same mind. They have always used the identity of Han Mingwang to act in the White Lotus Sect. And the White Lotus Sect and the Shanxi Merchants are in a relationship of mutual use. The White Lotus Sect will not tolerate the success of the uprising. .And Shanxi merchants are also very aware of this, so they just use the help of the White Lotus Sect to stir up chaos in the world."

In the dark cellar, Zhu Yunwen calmly and slowly analyzed the relationship in the current situation.

Zhang Hui showed sarcasm, these rebels wanted to achieve great things, but they didn't know how His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty worked so hard to govern in the past, and how sincerely he was consistent with the group of pioneers who made great achievements in the founding of the country.

He believed what Zhu Yunwen said about the White Lotus Sect and the relationship between the White Lotus Sect and Shanxi merchants.

"Just this, what does it have to do with the current situation?"

Puzzled on Zhang Hui's face, he didn't know how Zhu Yunqi would take advantage of the current situation in Taiyuan City.

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while at this time, and then said: "By the way, someone from the Tatar tribe outside the pass also entered Taiyuan City. The Li Mansion held a banquet that day, but I heard it mentioned by the rebels, but they have not communicated with the Tatar tribe. Meeting. This point can also be used by us."

The doubt in Zhang Hui's eyes became more and more intense.

He had never gotten along with him in the past, and he only heard about the things that Wen Feiren did back then, but he didn't know that this man could have such a deep strategy.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the silent Zhang Hui, stood up suddenly and walked to the corner, and opened the two plugs inserted into the bottom of the bamboo tube at the top, one high and one low.

A gust of fresh air quickly rushed down from above, and the poor-quality air in the cellar was squeezed out along the pipes.

Zhu Yunxuan took a deep breath, and then explained: "After thinking about it recently, I may need to change the strategy I set before that the enemy will not move and I will not move."

"Change it?" Zhang Hui looked suspicious.

The matter concerning Shanxi Road that was decided at that time was that the imperial court wanted to plan it slowly, and first stabilize the supply of food and grass for the frontier army.While the rebels were plotting secretly, the court also made other preparations.

Now that Zhu Yunqi said that he would change it, this undoubtedly made Zhang Hui doubt how the current situation can be changed.

Zhu Yunwen said: "I've been thinking recently, if the rebels are consciously prepared and then rise up, they will inevitably bring disaster to the good people of my Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Hui nodded involuntarily.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the poor man in front of him didn't seem to be that bad.

It was only at the beginning that perhaps it was because of the involvement of the supreme position that those confused things happened.

Zhu Yunqi continued: "Now that we know the conspiracy and plan of the rebels, if we find a proper opportunity, we can naturally strike first, take advantage of their unpreparedness, and catch them by surprise."

Zhang Hui's face was serious: "If this is the case, I'm afraid His Royal Highness's arrangement will be messed up? To act before the rebels, many arrangements must be arranged at a faster pace, and the opportunity you mentioned must be found."

Zhu Yunwen's eyes were dark: "There will always be opportunities."

After speaking, the two fell into a moment of silence.

After a long time, Zhu Yunqi raised his head and looked at Zhang Hui again: "How about the Prince Jin's Mansion?"

Zhang Hui blinked: "His Royal Highness Jin has never obeyed the teaching order of the grandson, and he is unwilling to go to Datong, and sits in the Datong frontier army with Duke Liang. He has already asked someone to write a memorial to apologize, and asked His Royal Highness to allow the concubine Jin And the memorial of the youngest son of the palace going south to meet the sky."

Uncle Jin Wang doesn't want to go to Datong?
Zhu Yunwen narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about why the third uncle chose to stay in Taiyuan City at the risk of disobeying the grandson's decree.

Seeing Zhu Yunqi frowning and thinking, Zhang Hui speculated in a low voice: "Perhaps, His Royal Highness Prince Jin also has the same thoughts as you at this moment?"

"The third uncle also wants to strike first?" Zhu Yunqi was a little surprised, wondering whether the Jin Palace would have such considerations, then shook his head and said: "The third uncle would not have thought of this. According to the actions of the third uncle these years, he may I want to be the king who guards the land, so that I won't let the majesty of the Ming royal family be demolished because of myself."

All the courtiers in the world have the responsibility of guarding the land, especially the clan and vassal kings.

All local government officials who encountered military incidents, but those who stick to the city, almost all government officials will be rewarded and promoted by the court.

But if your local officials heard that the enemy army was coming, they would abandon the city, abandon the people, and flee privately.

No matter what the final result is, the imperial court will definitely condemn you for losing your land, and you will be executed, and even your family members will be harmed.

Zhang Hui suddenly asked: "Do you have any thoughts about the Jin Palace?"

Zhu Yunwen read in his mouth: "White Lotus Sect, Shanxi Merchants, Tatar Ministry, Jinwang Mansion...Let me think again, let me think again!"

Zhang Hui nodded, closed his mouth, and silently moved two steps towards the bamboo tube for air intake.

After half a sound.

Zhu Yunwen slapped his hands and pulled Zhang Hui back who was about to get out of the cellar.

"And I!"

There was a trace of red light on Zhu Yunwen's face, and his eyes were fixed on Zhang Hui.

Seeing the nervousness on Zhang Hui's face all the time, Zhu Yunwen stood up out of excitement.

But he forgot the height of the cellar.

Whoops.

Zhu Yunwen put his hands on the top of his head, bent over, blushed and looked at Zhang Hui with embarrassment, and then said loudly: "The third child will owe me a huge favor this time!"

Zhang Hui blinked, a little curious.

He really wanted to know what was going through Zhu Yunqi's head at this moment, which could make him so excited.

Zhu Yunwen patted Zhang Hui's shoulder heavily: "Zhang Baihu, do you want to be promoted?"

Looking at Zhu Yunqi's twinkling eyes, Zhang Hui suddenly became nervous.

He whispered: "I will not do anything that violates the law or discipline."

Zhu Yunqi had already stretched out his hand to hook Zhang Hui's neck, and leaned closer and said, "We are all loyal and patriotic people, so how could we do those things? We are not traitors!"

But Zhang Hui became more and more worried, always feeling that Zhu Yunqi was full of bad intentions and bad intentions.

Zhu Yunwen said quietly: "As long as you nod your head, I will guarantee you a promotion to three ranks!"

Promoted to the third rank?

Zhang Hui immediately narrowed his eyes.

I am now a hundred households, but I am the sixth rank.

Promoted to the third level, that is, from the rank of the fourth rank, it is enough to serve as the governor of Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi!

That was Sun Zhenfu's current position.

Zhang Hui immediately shook his head silently.

OK!
I dare not think about it!

It wasn't until Zhang Hui climbed out of the cellar, turned over the courtyard wall, and returned to the temporary hiding place where everyone was hiding in Taiyuan City, that he woke up.

Thinking back to what he heard from Zhu Yunqi earlier, he suddenly laughed silently.

For a moment, I really believed the words of this obviously crippled clan.

He is a useless person, and he dared to pretend that he could be promoted to a third rank.

Just for a moment, Zhang Hui was stunned again.

I even forgot to ask Zhu Yunqi, what kind of method did he think of to change the situation in Taiyuan City and promote himself to the third rank.

After thinking about it, Zhang Hui became a little apprehensive.

"Should we still dig a tunnel..."

He murmured in a low voice, but it caused the subordinates around him to be a little confused for a while, wondering what happened to the Baihu officer tonight.

……

Under the rule of Huaiqing Prefecture of Henan Province, dozens of miles north of Hanoi City, Thanh Hoa Town on the south side of Taihang Mountain.

With Zhu Yunxi's layout of Shanxi Road, tens of thousands of imperial soldiers and horses had been stationed in Huaiqing Mansion at this time.

Among them were the soldiers and horses of the guards under the jurisdiction of Henan Dusi, and there were also soldiers and horses under the command of Lan Yu who had already left for Datong Town.

Starting from Qinghua Town, passing through Wanshan Station, and walking seventy or eighty miles in the Taihang Mountains, you can set foot in the territory of Shanxi Road and enter Zezhou Prefecture.

After passing through 16 post stations, you can arrive at Taiyuan City.

Outside Qinghua Town, tens of thousands of troops set up camp, and the huge camp was brightly lit at night.

According to the explanation given by Taisun Xingzai, this is to prevent civil uprisings that may break out in the Henan Province due to river accidents and rumors circulating.

Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen was covered in armor, with a long knife on his waist, and his eyes were in shadows under the helmet.

He looked worriedly at the grandson of the emperor who was standing outside the camp looking north at Taihang, waved his hands to let the soldiers stay where they were, and walked forward.

"At the end of the day, I will meet His Royal Highness Taisun, and I have met Mr. Gao Ge, Governor Wang."

Cao Zhen in armor was very polite, and even bowed to Sun Cheng, Tian Mai, Ma Hongqing, and Niu Dafu who were beside Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi looked back at Cao Zhen silently: "Marquis Jingchuan is here too."

Cao Zhen nodded: "The last general just finished his tour of the camp with people. Seeing that His Highness didn't rest, he came over to have a look."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm just worried about the Shanxi Road, and I can't sleep."

Cao Zhen, as the commander of the tens of thousands of troops in Huaiqing Mansion, naturally knew what the purpose of this army was here.

He whispered: "The general heard that His Highness wants to change the route and not go outside the pass."

"It's going to be winter."

Zhu Yunxi groaned and explained: "Fan Chong followed Mahamu to the outside of the pass. At this time, it was snowing outside the pass, and it was impossible to talk about the mutual market between the imperial court and the Wara tribe at this time. Mahamu was going back to the Wara tribe. Fan The worms will stay on the pass. If you go to the pass alone at this time, you can't do anything."

"Then Your Highness might as well stay in Huaiqing Mansion, minister..." Cao Zhen faltered a little, not at all like his previous bold temper.

Gao Yangzhi glanced sideways and said with a smile, "What is Jing Chuanhou worried about?"

"The final general is worried about His Highness's safety. Your Highness does not go to the border this time, but comes here. Presumably, he intends to enter Shanxi Road." Cao Zhen never looked at Gao Yangzhi, but looked at the emperor grandson.

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Jing Chuanhou is now able to speculate on Gu's mind."

Cao Zhen immediately clasped his fists together and lowered his head: "I don't dare! I just think that if His Highness stays in Qinghua Town, with tens of thousands of troops guarding him, nothing will happen to His Highness. But once His Highness enters the Shanxi Road , I am alone and helpless, and I am worried that the thieves will move after hearing the news."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said: "The court's plan is one thing, but after thinking about it for a while, why can't we do it before the rebels? Why wait until the rebels rise up, causing the local people to live in distress and the people to cry, and then react Come here, send troops to suppress the rebels? Why do the people suffer?"

Cao Zhen finally heard the conjecture in his heart, and his face became more and more serious.

"Your Highness... are you going to risk yourself?"

He opened his mouth and let out a soft cry. At this moment, he turned his eyes to Gao Yangzhi who was at the side, hoping that the cabinet minister could persuade the grandson a few words.

Zhu Yunxi took a few steps forward, blending himself into the darkness of tonight.

He opened his mouth and asked: "You guys say, why did you want to attack Shanxi Dao alone? Why did the imperial court forcefully push the New Deal?"

Cao Zhen closed his mouth, his brows furrowed more and more.

The young commander-in-chief and governor silently shook his head. He always felt that what he was thinking in his heart was the answer, but he felt that it was not the same thing.

Gao Yangzhi sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness said that the reason why Daming is Daming is because of the billions of people. Your Majesty got the support of the people in Huaiyou back then, so that you can become the master of heaven. Then reshape the affairs of the Central Plains.

The people are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and only by winning the hearts of the people in the world can the Ming Dynasty truly move towards prosperity and survive forever. "

Zhu Yunxi nodded.

"That's what it means. If that's the case, how can the rebels really cause trouble, causing cholera to spread throughout the world, causing more casualties to the people?"

Cao Zhen felt a little helpless in his heart: "Your Highness is kind and compassionate to the people. But if His Highness makes a mistake, it will be a great misfortune for the world. If His Highness wants to go to Shanxi Road at this time, the rebels will definitely wait for the opportunity."

Zhu Yunxi did not answer Cao Zhen's doubts, but looked at Sun Cheng and Tian Mai.

"The second child should have arrived in Taiyuan City."

Sun Cheng turned around and clasped his fists: "The news came back a few days ago that Zhang Hui had followed far behind and was about to arrive in Taiyuan City. By this time, he had already settled down in Taiyuan City."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Gao Yangzhi: "Since it's already this time and there is no news of their accident, it means that the rebels should feel relieved about the second child."

Gao Yangzhi thought for a while and nodded silently: "It should be so."

Zhu Yunxi said casually: "Since this is the case, then the second child should know who are among the rebels."

"Your Highness wants to arrest people by name, it's just..." Gao Yangzhi knew what the emperor grandson wanted to do at this time, but he still had some concerns: "It's just that it's not clear who is involved in Shanxi Road , and more importantly, I don’t know how the guards of the Shanxi capital will choose. What Jing Chuanhou said is also reasonable. If His Highness enters Shanxi Road, he will not bring a large army. If the local guards rebel at that time..."

Gao Yangzhi did not continue.

Unless Zhu Yunxi is now bringing Cao Zhen's tens of thousands of soldiers into Shanxi Road, but this will scare the snake. If he doesn't do this, once the soldiers and horses of Shanxi Road are instigated by rebels, the emperor's grandson will inevitably be surrounded and killed.

Cao Zhen even yelled directly: "I don't agree!"
