Daming heir

"Take the head of the father to plead guilty to the court."

Li Wenxiang's voice echoed in the room, causing Li Benqian's eyes to enlarge continuously.

In addition to being shocked, Li Benqian also somewhat understood why his father made such a decision.

But Li Benqian smiled wryly: "Father, let alone what we are going to do. It is what our family has done these years. Do you really think that the court will let our whole family go?"

Li Wenxiang looked at the eldest son who had high hopes in front of him, and his already dignified face became more and more gloomy.

"Yeah..." Li Wenxiang sighed: "Once some things are done, there is no turning back. We can only go down this road."

Li Benqian took a deep breath, stood up and walked in front of his father, slapped his hands heavily on the table, and turned his head to look at his father with a ferocious face.

"Father, so this time we must catch Zhu Yunxie!"

Li Wenxiang leaned back on the chair, looked up at the crisscross beams, he opened his mouth and let out a breath: "Let the Tatars come here tonight."

Li Bengan frowned: "Father wants to ask the Tatars to help?"

"No matter what the result is, Zhu Yunxi must not fall into the hands of Liu Zongsheng. Only by holding him in our hands will we have more confidence!"

……

"Chunfeng, what do you think of the confidence of these people in Shanxi Road?"

Outside the city of Zezhou, at the foot of Fenghuang Ridge, the northern tour team temporarily rested at the foot of the mountain.Zhu Yunxi looked at Zezhou City to the west, said softly, and looked sideways at Gao Yangzhi who was standing beside him.

In the distance, on the road from Zezhou City to the foot of Fenghuang Ridge, a group of people were rushing here.

That's because Zhu Yunxi traveled north to Shanxi, and there were officials from the Si Yamen in Zezhou City who heard the news.

Gao Yangzhi looked at the Zezhou city officials who were rushing towards here without slowing down the speed. He thought about His Highness Taisun's question very seriously, and finally smiled and shook his head and said: "I really can't think of it." .”

Money and food?manpower?
As far as the court is concerned, even those Shanxi merchants who are known as rich and invincible, the wealth in their hands is just a drop in the ocean.

As for the secret development of the White Lotus Sect, most of them are local poor families, or those gentry and merchants who do not want to be robbed of their wealth by the White Lotus Sect.

These people may be able to cause chaos in the local area for a while, but as long as the imperial court dispatches a large army, these people can only flee after hearing the news.If he is unwilling to retreat, the final result will be to become a first-class military exploit under the Ming army who is eager to fight.

"So, it's still because of human greed."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and explained casually.

Gao Yangzhi nodded: "Liu Zongsheng wants to achieve great things, to do things that his fathers have never done. In other words, he has lived on this tone for so many years. As for Jin merchants... I think it is only because of these people I can’t bear to give up the meat I got.”

"Yeah, I can't bear to get the meat. But don't they know that what the court has to do now is to divide the meat." The smile on Zhu Yunxi's face never disappeared, and he continued: "It's this Liu Zongsheng, but I don't think he wants to make it. Things my parents didn't do."

Gao Yangzhi tilted his head with curiosity on his face.

When Zhu Yunwen was kidnapped by Liu Zongsheng and the people of the White Lotus Sect, and then Liu Zongsheng took a fancy to him by mistake, and then got in touch with Zhang Hui.

The Northern Tour team already knew its internal composition, and everything that Zhu Yunqi knew was transferred to Zhu Yunxi by Zhang Huimi.

"I believe that the troubles of the White Lotus Sect are caused by the thieves. The people are ignorant, and they can be bewitched by a few words. If they promise small benefits, they can be driven. If they have big benefits, they can plot against them.

Since the Wei, Jin, North and South, until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, why has the White Lotus Sect been banned repeatedly?The minister thought about it, but the Li and common people in the world never had to worry about food and clothing.

Now that the White Lotus Sect is causing trouble again, the crime is not in the possession of the people, but in the bewitching of those like Liu Zongsheng.

This time His Royal Highness and his ministers entered Shanxi, Shanxi merchants need to be abolished, but the White Lotus Sect only needs to kill the heads of thieves and those whose hands are stained with blood. "

Zhu Yunxi nodded in agreement and said, "Gu is not the one who murdered. After the Shanxi Dao incident, the crimes in the White Lotus Sect are limited to those who are stained with blood."

In recent years, although the imperial court has been severely cracking down on the White Lotus Sect and other low-level religious organizations, whether it is the local government or the Yingtian Chaotang, they have always only punished the thieves and those who have lives in their hands.

Everyone knows how easily local people can be bewitched by the White Lotus Sect.No one knew exactly how many people had contacts with the White Lotus Sect.

Without the instigator, the rest of the common people would not be able to accomplish anything. The imperial court and the government issued an official document of forgiveness, sending the common people back to their original places, and the matter was over.

At the foot of Fenghuang Ridge, Sun Cheng walked behind Zhu Yunxi.

"Your Highness, the officials of Zezhou City are here."

Zhu Yunxi, who had been waiting for these Zezhou officials, naturally saw the situation on the road ahead.

All the officials of Zezhou City dismounted one after another when they reached the Jinyiwei officers and soldiers blocking the road.

The officials held their official robes in both hands. In this early winter season, sweating profusely and with smiles on their faces, they passed through the ranks of officers and soldiers and rushed all the way to Zhu Yunxie.

pat.

The officials who came out of Zezhou City to greet them waved their robes and knelt down one after another.

"The ministers welcome His Highness the Emperor Taisun."

"His Royal Highness is a thousand years old, and all the blessings and gold are safe."

The official with the highest rank in Zezhou, that is, the prefect of Zezhou Prefecture.

The official title of Zhengsipin.

Therefore, Zhu Yunxi didn't have a red robe in front of him, only green and green.As for the government servants who came over from the guards, they were stopped by Jin Yiwei and could not approach.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and waved his hands: "Get up now. I just passed through Shanxi this time, but I didn't tell you in advance, it's a shock to the place."

The magistrate of Zezhou Prefecture is an old official, in his fifties, with something stuck on the patch on the chest of the official robe, which has not been washed off.

The old magistrate stood up with his hands on his knees, and bowed his waist with a smile on his face: "Your Highness's visit to Zezhou is a blessing for the ministers and the people of Zezhou. Zezhou's late arrival is really the fault of the ministers. The government office has prepared a banquet, and the ministers and others respectfully invite His Highness to condescend to enter the city."

The sweat on the forehead of the old magistrate of Zezhou Prefecture was shining brightly under the sunlight.

The old magistrate was speaking, carefully pinching his sleeves and wiping his forehead.

While waving, the old magistrate looked at Fenghuang Ridge behind the emperor's grandson, his hands that wiped his face couldn't help shaking, and his eyes showed anxiety.

Behind Zhu Yunxi, on the east side of Fenghuang Ridge, there are two guards of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the command of Jingchuanhou Cao Zhen.

Although because of the long distance, the whole army could not be seen.

But the flags of various colors fluttering in the wind protruding from the foot of the mountain gave the local officials who had just arrived from Zezhou City a huge shock.

These people are not comparable to Ningshan Wei in Zezhou Prefecture.

That is the most elite Beijing army in the entire Ming Dynasty, except for the Nine Frontier Army.

Ning Shanwei! ?

People thought of Ning Shanwei, who had just been transferred to Huaiqing Mansion, and felt more and more uneasy.

Now the local government of Daming knows an unspoken thing.

But wherever the grandson of the emperor went, there would always be countless incidents and many people would die.

Zezhou without Ningshan Guard, in front of the two guards behind the emperor's grandson, is a city that can be picked by others.As long as Taisun gives an order, the whole city of Zezhou will tremble three times.

However, Zhu Yunxi shook his head when faced with the invitation from Zezhou magistrate: "I won't enter Zezhou City, and I have to go to Datong to patrol the border and discuss the mutual market with Wala."

According to Sun Cheng and Tian Mai's report, although the 50-year-old Zezhou magistrate in front of him was not clean and fair in his life, he did not make big mistakes.

Instead, this is the other official of Zezhou Prefecture, who is the southern gate of Shanxi Daonan.

Zhu Yunxi's gaze swept across the crowd behind Zezhou prefect.

I heard that some people build high-rise buildings and large courtyards here in Zezhou, and even the Taihu Stone in Suzhou, which is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, can also be shipped in batches.

It's just that this trip is not to check the local officials' governance.

This is the errand of the second uncle, just ask Sun Cheng and Tian Mai to transfer the relevant records to King Qin.

The magistrate of Zezhou could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that the grandson of the emperor would not enter Zezhou City, but he was still a little uneasy: "Your Highness has traveled all the way, and you still have to take a rest."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "I will rest in this Phoenix City for an hour, and then I will continue to go north. Zezhou Prefecture writes Gaoping County, and when the army marches to Gaoping, there must be no mistakes in getting rations for the army for three days. Then write Lu An Mansion, even going as far as Lu'an City alone does not enter the city, Lu'an needs to raise food and grass for three days to prepare for the army."

This is a non-stop look.

The magistrate of Zezhou nodded again and again: "I obey the order, and I will send people to Gaoping County and Lu'an Mansion to report."

Seeing that Zezhou magistrate is sensible and obedient, Zhu Yunxi stopped talking.

Instead, he led Gao Yangzhi and the others to climb up Fenghuang Ridge to look at the scenery outside Zezhou City.

By the end of the rest period, Zhu Yunxi had already been escorted by a group of Zezhou officials and slowly set off on the road.

The flags are waving, end to end, and the big flags cover the sky and the sun.

Zezhou officials stood bowed by the side of the official road, watching the tens of thousands of troops passing by, their eyelids trembling constantly.

"The general has an order that the cavalry battalion should go out ten miles to the left and right, and the luggage of the rear barracks must not fall five miles away."

"Grandfather Order, anyone who collides with the marching formation will be killed without mercy."

"..."

The Ming army in the Hongwu year of the Ming Dynasty came from the end of the Yuan Dynasty, which was precarious and full of disputes.

At this age, there are still countless veterans in the army who have participated in those national wars.

The Ming army at this time is the most sophisticated machine.

As the military orders from different people came down, the military formations marching on the official road began to operate slowly and efficiently.

All the officials in Zezhou City were terrified when they heard it, and terrified when they saw it.

If the grandson hadn't said it clearly, who would say that this is to protect the grandson of the emperor to patrol the border in Datong.

This is clearly to punish disobedient ministers!

The team of ten thousand people started, and it was not until half an hour later that the officials of Zezhou City standing beside the official road were in sight.

It took a long time for these officials to react.

The emperor's grandson and the army have left.

From Zezhou Prefecture to Taiyuan City, the official road is nearly [-] li.Naturally, the march of the army cannot be fast.

For more than ten days, Zhu Yunxi walked through the city in a high-profile manner between the local prefectures and counties on Shanxi Road.

It seems that he wants to let everyone in Shanxi Province know.

he came.

When the army left Zezhou Mansion, it entered the territory of Lu'an Mansion.

The officials of the Lu'an Mansion, who had already received the news, waited at the junction of the two mansions early on, and handed over food and grass far beyond the army's three-day use to the army.

Before Zhu Yunxi led the army to leave Lu'an Mansion and entered Qinzhou Mansion, the officials of Qinzhou Mansion had sent messengers to the front of the army to report the preparations for Qinzhou Mansion.

When the tenth day came, Zhu Yunxi had already led the tens of thousands of people through Hujia Mountain in the north of Qinzhou Prefecture to the vicinity of Longzhou Valley in Taiyuan Prefecture.

Ahead, officials from Qi County, Taigu County, and Xugou County were already waiting on the official road behind the boundary marker.

"Now, the entire Taiyuan Mansion knows that His Highness is coming."

Gao Yangzhi was riding on the horseback, his buttocks were raised slightly, his body swayed back and forth following the movement of the horse, and he spoke softly with a smile on his face.

This position is the most comfortable position for riding a horse.

Zhu Yunxi was similar, looking at the officials from the three counties of Taiyuan Prefecture beside the official road ahead, he also had a smile on his face.

After entering the Zezhou Mansion, the reason why he had to be so pretentious along the way, as if he dressed himself up as a village girl wearing a big red flower, was for the scene he saw now.

He just wanted the whole Taiyuan Mansion to know that he was here.

Now, it's time for the people of Taiyuan Mansion to make a move.

"Where is Duke Liang now?"

On the horseback, Zhu Yunxi spoke softly.

Sun Chengli rushed up from behind, cupped his hands and said, "Return to Your Highness, Duke Liang is only taking his own soldiers to Datong, and he will be there in a few days."

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "In this way, when we entered Taiyuan City, he also entered Datong City."

Sun Cheng nodded: "It should be so."

Zhu Yunxi asked again: "How is that Gu's second brother doing recently?"

Sun Cheng nodded and reined in the reins in his hand so that the horse under him would not overtake His Highness Taisun's horse: "The man hasn't had much contact with Zhang Hui recently, but just told Zhang Hui to do things well."

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but smiled: "What did he ask Zhang Hui to do?"

"Dig tunnels...to the outside of Taiyuan City..."

Sun Cheng really didn't know how to describe it, and he hesitated a bit.

What he didn't say was that Zhang Hui, who was waiting like a demon god in the imperial prison, would one day cry to himself in the secret concert of Jin Yiwei.

Zhang Hui even told himself with strong words that if there is a chance, let him, the governor of Beizhen Fusi, go to Taiyuan City to take over Zhu Yunqi's affairs.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Second brother, this is a big picture."

Gao Yangzhi whispered at the side: "I think...he wants to leave a secret way in and out of Taiyuan City."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, but then shook his head and said, "He probably didn't think about escaping from Taiyuan City. This tunnel, on the contrary, is most likely dug for us."

Speculate on Zhu Yunqi's thoughts and plans.

Zhu Yunxi looked quietly at the officials of the three counties of Taiyuan Prefecture who had already arrived in front of him.

This Taiyuan Mansion is somewhat interesting.
