Daming heir

Chapter 537 Plotting Shanxi Road

Cao Zhen's voice was exceptionally clear in the dark wilderness.

It's just that he has a serious face, with an expression of death.

"Your Highness is the grandson of the Emperor Jian Guo. It is the foundation and the foundation of the country. The safety of His Highness involves countless people, and it is even more related to the billions of people in the world."

"Your highness is a man of gold, and you should sit high in the Ming hall. All court officials and military generals can be driven by your highness. If your highness wants to govern the world, you will have civil servants to assist you. If you want to conquer the four directions, you will have countless good generals to choose from."

"The courtiers are loyal and loyal, and follow His Highness's ambition. If His Highness is honored, the ministers will be full of personal love for glory. However, if His Highness is stable, the world will be stable."

"If something happens to His Highness, the Crown Prince will be sad, and Your Majesty will be sad. I don't know what kind of accidents will happen in the palace at that time. But the ministers know that if something happens to His Highness, the ministers will definitely be implicated, and the elder Gao Ge may also be deposed."

"Above the court, Hongwu's New Deal is probably like a flash in the pan. Although officials and others are mortal, everyone is mortal. But if the New Deal stops suddenly, what will happen to the people in the world? What about the layout of Your Highness over the years?"

Cao Zhen raised his hands and hammered heavily on the iron armor on his chest, making a loud bang.

"Be it public or private, I don't agree with His Royal Highness entering Shanxi Road! If His Highness insists on going his own way, I will take the act of arrogance and detain His Highness. At that time, I will put on my own shackles and return to Beijing to plead guilty!"

In the dark night, outside the Ming army camp in Qinghua Town, the atmosphere was extremely cold in an instant.

Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, had a dignified face and firm eyes, showing no intention of changing.

Gao Yangzhi and the others also looked down, and they all looked at the calm-faced His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun.

a long time.

In the wilderness that had been silent for a long time, Zhu Yunxi laughed lightly twice.

He pointed at Cao Zhen and said with a smile, "Here is someone who is not afraid of death."

At this moment, Cao Zhen was also very nervous. To persuade and refute the emperor's grandson's will in public would be disrespectful to the decree at a small scale, and arrogance and treason at a large scale.

Just for what he said just now, now that the emperor grandson has beheaded him, no one can say anything against it.

However, in the eyes of Cao Zhen and even more people, the grandson of the emperor often did not know how important he was.

Cao Zhen felt that even if he wanted to be severely punished by the emperor's grandson tonight, he had to let him know how important he was to the world.

Above the Great Ming Dynasty Hall, among the millions of Ming troops, Cao Zhen was the most forthright, and it was rare for him to be stiff-necked once.

Gao Yangzhi glanced at Cao Zhen from the sidelines, apparently a little surprised that this Jingchuanhou behaved differently tonight than in the past.

He said softly: "His Royal Highness, Jing Chuan Hou is speaking with sincerity tonight, even if there are some abruptness, it is understandable."

Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at Gao Yangzhi, moved his mouth and said, "Gu Ke hasn't said that he will be convicted."

Cao Zhen looked at the slight smile on Zhu Yunxi's face, and quickly changed his expression, returning to his usual fearless and unscrupulous appearance, bending over and rubbing his hands with his head bent.

"I knew that His Highness is not the kind of person who will not listen to persuasion, but also the one who is reasonable. I am worried about His Highness's safety. If His Highness really wants to enter Shanxi Road, I, Cao Zhen, must rush in front of His Highness and block the knife for His Highness." Even if I die at the hands of the thieves, I will definitely keep His Highness safe and sound!"

Zhu Yunxi gave Cao Zhen a helpless look: "Stop making jokes, and be careful to turn around and let your son suffer!"

Cao Bing, the son of Jingchuan Hou, is now studying in the martial arts lecture hall in Yingtian City, and he is a classmate with Chang Jizu.

Their group of meritorious children in the court have all entered the martial arts hall one after another in the past two years, almost a few sessions.

When Cao Zhen heard the emperor's grandson mention his boss, he quickly shut up and shook his head repeatedly, expressing that he didn't dare to bully him anymore.

Zhu Yunxie sighed softly, these group of founding heroes and veterans in the army, although they have moments of majesty, but these are the foundation of the royal family's rule, and they should be more close to each other more often.

Pay equal attention to kindness and power, and you will always be able to do so.

He said: "Shanxi Road, as far as Yu Gu is concerned, of course he still has to go."

Cao Zhen blinked, revealing his original worries.

Gao Yangzhi and Wang Xinling frowned slightly.

"Gu intends to strike first, seize the opportunity before the rebels rise up, encircle Shanxi Road on all sides, and wipe out the rebel chiefs in one fell swoop!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the Taihang Mountains in the dark.

This mountain range squeezes the entire Shanxi Road into a narrow gap among the many mountain ranges distributed in the territory of Shanxi Road.

But at the same time, it also provides Shanxi Road with a unique terrain advantage.

Between the lofty mountains, wherever a large number of people and horses can pass, there are passes to garrison soldiers and horses.

It is difficult to get out of Shanxi Road.

But outsiders want to enter, as long as Shanxi Road blocks all the passes, it will be difficult to enter.

"Your Highness must have made up his mind."

Wang Xinling, the young commissar and governor, muttered in a low voice.

He felt that His Highness was not that type of reckless person, although he would have taken the lead in going to the city first when he was on the cross-chin road.

But after all these years, His Highness must have known that with his status, there is no need to do such things that risk his life.

What is the current situation on Shanxi Road behind Taihang Mountain?
It was a dangerous place where rebels could be born everywhere at any time.

And this group of rebels is completely different from the past.

They have money, food and people in their hands.

Shanxi Road is now a volcano that has not yet erupted. Under the high mountain pass, there is surging magma stirring, and every collision will spark violent flames.

And this volcano may erupt completely at any time, submerging and swallowing everything at the foot of the mountain.

If the emperor's grandson didn't have a full plan, it would be absolutely impossible to say that he would change his plan and do the thing of risking his life to enter Shanxi Road.

Zhu Yunxi turned to look at Wang Xinling, with a smile on his face.

"Empty the guards and horses in the prefectures to the south of Taiyuan Mansion. In the previous article, the Shanxi Capital Commander sent all the guards and horses south to guard against changes in the Henan Province.

Now, on the grounds of planning for the spring of next year and the imperial court's conquest outside the pass, the soldiers and horses of the Shanxi Capital Guards will be transferred north to Datong, and transferred to Liangguo Gong Lanyu's control.

With Datong soldiers and horses, they secretly guarded and suppressed the soldiers and horses of the guards in the northward within the territory of Shanxi Road. "

Empty the soldiers and horses in the guards in Shanxi Road, and only keep the limited soldiers and horses in Taiyuan Prefecture.

This is one of Zhu Yunxi's plans.

Gao Yangzhi moved his eyelids a few times, obviously thinking about the impact and possibility brought about by it.

He opened his mouth and said slowly: "The transfer of soldiers and horses from the Shanxi Daowei Station to the north and south can certainly reduce the follow-up pressure, even if Shanxi merchants have bought it in the past. However, there are also soldiers and horses from other places in the imperial court around the transferred guard station. Probably There will be no change. In this way, if His Highness wants to enter Shanxi Road, the risk he may suffer will be much smaller."

As a cabinet minister, even the youngest one, Gao Yangzhi was very careful with his words.

Cao Zhen muttered, "The risk is reduced, but it doesn't mean there is no risk at all."

Gao Yangzhi took the words: "That's right. And if the Shanxi Dao troops are mobilized in a big way, it will definitely attract the attention of the rebels. Even if the court conceals it, it is impossible to eliminate the speculation of the rebels."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "In Taiyuan City, there are also three guards and horses from the Prince Jin's Mansion that we can use."

At this time, Sun Cheng's face changed slightly.

He hurried forward: "I beg your sin."

Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Sun Cheng: "What's wrong with you?"

Sun Cheng's face turned red, and he knelt on the ground immediately: "Reporting to Your Highness, just before nightfall, I received a message from Shanxi Road, and I haven't had time to report it to Your Highness."

Cao Zhen couldn't stand watching anymore, and yelled: "If you have something to say, you can fart as soon as you have something to say, hanging here to whet your appetite?"

Sun Cheng said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness previously wrote to Jin Wangfu, asking His Royal Highness Jin to go north to Datong, sit in Datong with Liang Guogong, and control the northern part of Shanxi Road. Together, we will defend Taiyuan City from the hands of thieves. The three guards of Prince Jin's Mansion will also... be transferred to Ningwu County..."

The Prince Jin of the Ming Dynasty wants to be with Taiyuan City?

In the dark night, it is clear that everyone's face cannot be seen clearly, but the strong surprise can be seen on each other's faces.

Zhu Yunxi was surprised, but sighed.

"Third uncle is taking risks with his body. He knows that he may be in danger, but he doesn't change his face and stays with the city."

Gao Yangzhi said anxiously: "Isn't the king of Jin messing around! If the thief captures the king, how can His Highness deal with it? If the thief is allowed to cause chaos and ignore it, the hearts of the world will be chilled and the people will suffer. If it is suppressed forcefully, Then King Jin is in danger, and His Highness will be attacked by the clan!"

Cao Zhen also showed dissatisfaction.

He knew that King Jin had always been close to His Highness the Crown Prince, and he was also the one who supported His Highness the Crown Prince the most among the many clan vassals on the Nine Borders.

But this choice is obviously disrupting the layout here.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were a little dazed.

He thought of Zhu Jixuan, the eldest son of Jin Wangfu, who was studying in Dabentang.

Among the grandsons of the old man, Zhu Jixi is the oldest one.

But in Yingtian, he is also the most low-key and the one who doesn't like to talk to others.

In Zhu Yunxi's impression, Zhu Jixi is not as wise as Brother Chi, and as brave as Brother Bing, but he has another feeling that makes people want to stay by his side.

In the few contacts, Zhu Jixi's upright character is the most fresh in Zhu Yunxi's memory.

Moreover, it seems that because of the relationship between the third uncle and the prince's father, Zhu Jixi is always willing to chat with him.But he never talked about the affairs in the court hall, he only talked about what happened to the cousins ​​in the Daben hall every day, and occasionally talked about new things he encountered in Yingtian City after the Daben hall was on holiday.

This is an honest and straightforward person without much thought.

Then, Zhu Yunxi thought of the changes that would happen to the King Jin family in the future.

I couldn't help feeling a little more sad.

Thinking about the Uncle Three Kings who was able to tear people apart in public in the vassal state back then, and hearing that Jin Wang Zhu Yan has improved a lot in the past few years, and he has gained a lot of virtuous names.

Zhu Yunxi showed a smile on his face, and said again: "The third uncle wants to be with Taiyuan City, this is the backbone of my clan! It is a violation of the order, but why don't we think about it in a different direction?"

Cao Zhen quickly asked curiously: "It's all like this, what else can Your Highness do?"

Zhu Yunxie said lightly: "Since the third uncle is also staying in Taiyuan City, his subordinates must be prepared. It is absolutely impossible that only the three guards of the palace will be transferred from Taiyuan City. At that time, why can't we be in Taiyuan?" The inside of the city should cooperate with the outside, and Taiyuan City should be completely wiped out, so that Shanxi Road can be restored to its original roots!"

Gao Yangzhi saw that it was absolutely impossible for the emperor's grandson to change his mind. Although he was nervous, he kept thinking about the various arrangements if the northern tour really wanted to enter Shanxi Road.

In the dark night, this young man in a red robe holding the authority of the imperial cabinet minister said in a deep voice: "If your Highness crosses Taihang into Shanxi, one of the northern patrol soldiers is indispensable. The soldiers and horses under Jing Chuanhou's command are like guards on the left and right. , or short-day follow-up."

A ruthless expression appeared on Gao Yangzhi's face: "Shanxi roads can be chaotic, the gates can be lost, and the people can be in danger. Of course! Your Highness's safety is as important as Mount Tai, and there must be no mistakes!"

……

On the Nine Sides Great Wall in the north, which is far away from Huaiqing Mansion.

The winter snow has already covered the inside and outside of the Great Wall tightly.

The icy cold wind made the Ming frontier soldiers on the Great Wall only want to huddle in the fort and warm themselves by the fire instead of going outside.

If it weren't for the task of patrolling the border every day, these Ming Dynasty's strongest fighters would rather face the scimitar in the hands of the grassland cavalry than face the power of ice and snow brought by nature.

One snow after another is always falling.

It didn't stop until the whole north became inaccessible.

It seems that the snow in the north is to remind people not to go out if they have nothing to do.

It's just that the operation of the empire always requires people to get out of the warm house burning the fire.

Xuanfu Town, and Datong Town bordering on the west, together constitute an important military town pass of the Great Wall in Shanxi and Hebei.

There are [-] guards and [-] households in Xuanfu Town, and a total of more than [-] troops gathered in one place.It constitutes the most important defense line on the northwest side of Hebei Road.

When the enemy troops pass Xuanfu, they can go straight to Beipingfu, and then travel freely throughout the entire Hebei Road, and even continue southward to approach the Yellow River, threatening the tranquility of the Central Plains.

And it is on the farthest northeast side of Xuanfu Town.

The Great Wall built on the mountain is majestic and solemn, quietly guarding the peace of the empire every day.

Kaiping Guard, the Daming Guard with the same name as Kaiping Zhongwu King Chang Yuchun, is the core defensive force on the northeast side of Xuanfu Town.

Kaiping Weizhong Military Governance is located in a monolithic fort among mountains.

To the north of Dushibao, go out of Dongzhazikou and Beizhazikou, then you can rush out of the mountains and enter the desert grassland.

At this time, the Monolith Fortress, like all the entire northern Great Wall, was covered with snow.

Because the main force of Kaiping Guard was stationed at the monolithic fort at the foot of the mountain, black soil was trampled out by war horses around the huge monolithic fort.

From Monolith Fortress to the north of the mountain, black traces are also exposed.

That is the imprint left by the laborers on the side of the One Stone Castle to repair the Great Wall.

On the top of the mountain between Beizhazikou and Xizhazikou, the Great Wall built along the ridge line is winding and rugged, and a masonry watchtower is built on the highest peak.

At this moment, behind the city wall on the top of the fortress, a group of Ming army generals in armor and cloaks are gathering.

These people were pointing at the outside of the Great Wall, and burst into hearty laughter from time to time.
