Daming heir

On the bank of Fen River outside the north of Taiyuan City.

Behind Zhu Yunxi, there were already bursts of tinkling sounds.

Those were the officers and soldiers on the northern patrol, setting up camp.

These have their own rules, even Cao Zhen doesn't have to show up, there are many generals and schools in the army to supervise the soldiers.

The baggage camp had already chosen the upstream position of the camp, and began to fetch water and bury pots for cooking. With the rising of smoke from cooking, one after another tents were also erected.

When the materials prepared in advance by the command and envoy of Shanxi Daodu were sent outside the camp, the military horses in the northern patrol had already begun to dig deep ditches around the camp and lay down fences.

The snow in the sky is a bit heavy.

From the beginning of the first day of the new year, the snowflakes fell, and the sky was full of heavy snow, which covered everyone's sight before people noticed it.

The ground still has some temperature. When the snowflakes fall on the ground, they first melt and wet the soil, continuously cooling the ground.

When the temperature reaches the freezing point, the snowflakes falling from the sky begin to pile up in layers.

It was just the effort of a cup of tea, and the whole land was already covered with a thin layer of snow.And the snowflakes falling from the sky are still thickening this thin layer of snow, trying to cover the entire land.

On the bank of the adjacent water, someone has already held up a big umbrella for the emperor's grandson and others who are looking at the snow scene.

The umbrella handle with a thick forearm is deeply inserted into the soil under the feet, blocking this small area from the heavy snow.

Under the umbrella surface, the snow piled up compared to the umbrella surface, revealing circles of clean open spaces.

Looking at the scenery outside the city of Taiyuan that he had seen for so many years, Zhu Wei asked curiously, "Now that you are in Taiyuan, you know the situation here, what are you going to do now?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the falling snow outside the umbrella in front of him, thinking that Yingtian City was probably just a little colder at this time, but if he wanted to see the snow, it might take a few more days.

He turned his head to look at Zhu Yan, and said with a smile: "Of course we wait for the food and grass to be ready, and after Third Uncle's birthday is over, we will send our troops north to inspect the various border gates."

Zhu Yan stared: "Seriously! What do you plan to do with the people who are up and down in Shanxi Road?"

"Of course I'm waiting for them to make a move." Zhu Yunxie blinked, and his face finally became serious: "Now that the introduction for checking accounts has been thrown out, it depends on how they take it."

Gao Yangzhi stepped forward from behind the two, and said softly: "In fact, Taiyuan Prefecture does not need to raise food and grass for one month for the northern tour. It only needs five days of food and grass, and we can reach Datong after walking, and Datong will supply the necessary food and grass. "

Zhu Yunxi took the words and looked at Zhu Wei: "Actually, from the beginning of the writing, Taiyuan asked for grain and grass for one month, just to stay in Taiyuan. The reason is also to use this to raise the matter of auditing the accounts."

When the army is abroad and transits through local prefectures and counties, generally speaking, at most, they only ask the local prefectures and counties to provide food and grass supplies for about five days.

If Zhu Yunxi is not the emperor's grandson of Ming Dynasty, if it is replaced by any other general in the army.If you ask Taiyuan again to prepare the food and grass needed for a month, there will only be one result.

That is flatly rejected.

No local government would agree to provide an army with one month's worth of food and supplies.

This is to ensure that the troops outside are always under the control of the court and need to rely on the support of the court at all times.It is also because it is impossible for the local government to have so many grain and grass reserves, thereby reducing the burden on the local government.

Zhu Yan looked hesitantly: "What do you think can be found out from Shanxi Road's accounts?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said: "Checking the accounts is not the purpose, it's just a means. The purpose is to check the accounts to see what they will do. It's like two people playing chess. The nephew has already made a decision. Now it's time for them to make a decision."

Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered.

From the beginning, there was no checking of accounts, left and right were just an excuse.What he is doing now is to beat the grass to scare the snakes. The grass in Taiyuan City is being slapped by him with a stick, and it depends on the reaction in the grass.

Gao Yangzhi stared at Zhu Bian with gloomy eyes, staring and thinking for a while.

Then he whispered: "The prince's three guards are really all in the Ningwu Institute?"

Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment: "The three guards of Prince Jin's Mansion have indeed been transferred to Ningwu Institute."

Gao Yangzhi asked doubtfully, "Is it true that the lord didn't leave anything behind?"

Zhu Yan looked at the young cabinet minister, and suddenly laughed: "This king never fights unprepared battles. It's just that if brother Xun doesn't come to Taiyuan City, those people can't start too early. Now Xun My brother is here, this king has already sent people to Ningwu Office to recall the three guards of King Jin's residence this morning."

Whether the clan and vassal kings are more valuable, or the grandson of the Emperor Jian Guo is more valuable, Zhu Yan is very clear about the distinction.

Not to mention before, now in the eyes of those people, I probably just happened by the way.

Gao Yangzhi frowned and said: "Ning Wusuo will go south and rush back to Taiyuan City, it will take four days at the fastest, and about five days at the slowest."

Zhu Yunxi said softly, "It's about the third uncle's birthday."

The third uncle in front of him really sent the concubine and the children to Yingtian City, what he wanted was to be with Taiyuan City.

Zhu Yunxi knew this very well.

He suddenly changed his subject and said, "The snow is getting heavier and heavier, it must be getting very cold."

Zhu Yan said with a smile: "Every snow in the north is followed by a cold, and it will gradually clear up after the end of the year, and it will be completely warmed up after the spring."

Zhu Yunxi said quietly: "The officers and soldiers in the camp have enough charcoal fires for the night, beware of fire, and remember to ventilate, don't try to keep warm and suffocate to death in the tents one by one."

Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, who had been accompanying Taisun all this time, said in a muffled voice, "The final general has already been informed, and pits are being dug to prepare water everywhere in the camp, and holes have been opened in the tents."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, then looked at Zhu Bian again: "Third Uncle should go back to the palace earlier, don't let those people worry about whether Third Uncle is plotting something with Gu Zai."

Today on the official road in the south of Taiyuan City, when Changsun Gong and others saw Zhu Yan clearly, the expressions on their faces were wonderful.

I don't know how these people are feeling now.

Zhu Wei waved his hand casually: "Those people are probably thinking that we, uncle and nephew, can get together more."

Casually teasing, Zhu Yan already bowed his head and walked out under the umbrella that shielded everyone from the wind and snow.The personal guards of the Wangfu stepped forward holding an umbrella, trying to shield Zhu Bian from the wind and snow from the sky.

But Zhu Yan waved his hand, got on his horse against the wind and snow, and galloped away with a long roar.

Under several big umbrellas on the bank of Fenshui, everyone watched Jin Wang Zhu Yan's departure calmly.

After a long time.

Cao Zhen just said, "Prince Jin is a man!"

It was rare for him to speak calmly, with a hint of admiration.Although it sounded like a sick sentence, everyone present understood what he meant.

Gao Yangzhi also nodded and said: "If His Highness has not changed his mind, I am afraid that King Jin really has the intention of living and dying with Taiyuan City."

"Uncle Zhou Wang was stubborn at the beginning. He was demoted to Yunnan by the emperor's grandfather. After returning, he devoted himself to medicine. The same is true of Uncle Jin. He was violent in his early years, and now he often leads troops out of Guanbei." Zhu Yunxi sighed a little. There are more or less bad deeds, but they all come to their senses: "The matter of Uncle Jin's tying people and horses in public is now clear. He can hold the heart of being with the city, and he has never been alone." Surprised."

In fact, I want to come too.

People like King Jin and King Zhou grew up beside Empress Xiaoci.

How could it be possible for a person like Empress Xiaoci to really educate children who are tyrannical and disregarding human life?
How many unknown things are there among them, I am afraid that only these parties are the most clear.

Sun Cheng, who had been patrolling the camp before, rushed over covered in wind and snow.

He passed by in front of everyone, his eyes swept over them calmly.

When he arrived in front of Zhu Yunxi, the people around Zhu Yunxi had already quietly stepped back a few steps.

Sun Cheng stepped forward, bowed his head and said in a low voice, "His Highness's Chinese army tent has been built, and the entrance and exit are inside the tent."

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Just wait and see what will happen in Taiyuan City in the past few days."

Sun Cheng hummed and backed away silently.

……

That night.

The heavy snowfall during the day has not stopped until now.

It seems that the snow will not stop until the entire Taiyuan Mansion is buried.

In the dark night, the dark clouds scattered with wind and snow blocked the moon behind, and the night was hazy except for the snowflakes drifting past the eyes, and it was impossible to see other things clearly.

In a small courtyard in the north of the city.

Zhu Yunwen was wrapped in a big cotton coat, which was tightly wrapped from shoulders to calves.

He stood behind the door of the house, relying on the lit candles in the house, watching the snow outside kept falling, piled up layer by layer in the yard.

Zhu Yunwen just quietly watched the falling snow outside.

After a long time, there was movement from the door of the back room.

Then came the sound of Qiuniang's footsteps.

"Erro."

Qiu Niang let out a soft cry, and Zhu Yunwen hurriedly turned around.

Seeing that Qiuniang came to him only wearing a resting underwear, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly took off the cotton coat on his body, and wrapped it around Qiuniang involuntarily.

"Don't refuse, I'm still wearing a coat." Zhu Yunwen tugged on the clothes he was wearing, held Qiuniang's hands and frowned, "Why are you awake?"

Qiuniang pursed her lips: "I can't sleep if I can't feel Erlang by my side. Is Erlang thinking about something?"

Looking at the wind and snow outside the house, Qiuniang stretched out her arms with the cotton-padded jacket, and hugged Zhu Yunwen from behind with the cotton-padded jacket.

Zhu Yunwen patted Qiuniang's hands wrapped around his chest, and said in a low voice: "I'm waiting, waiting for something to happen tonight. Go back to the room and sleep quickly, don't catch a cold."

Qiuniang shook her head behind Zhu Yunwen's back, and asked curiously, "What will happen tonight's heavy snowfall?"

Zhu Yunqi stared at the dark snowy night outside, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but something will definitely happen."

As he spoke, his gaze had already shifted to the corner of the courtyard, the location of the cellar.

If something really happened tonight, then he should be ready and wait for news and instructions in the cellar.

Thinking that he didn't know when there would be any movement, Zhu Yunxuan quickly turned around and hugged Qiuniang in his arms, and put her on the bed in three or two steps.

With a gentle face, Zhu Yunwen carefully covered Qiuniang with a quilt, gently stroked Qiuniang's cheek, and whispered: "Sleep obediently, or I will get angry."

Qiu Niang pinched the edge of the quilt with both hands, blinked her bright eyes, and nodded: "Got it..."

With a smile on his face, Zhu Yunwen leaned over and kissed Qiuniang's forehead lightly, then turned around and walked out of the back room, closed the door, and then continued to wrap himself in cotton clothes and stood at the door.

In such a snowy night, it is impossible for any normal person to leave the house.

And the heavy snow all over the sky has become the best cover at this time.

Located on the south side of Prince Jin's Mansion in the north of the city, a few streets away, a large area is covered with tall courtyard walls.

The Office of the Governor of Henan Province, the Office of Taiyuan, and the Office of Yangqu County are located together, occupying an entire block.

In the snowstorm, someone carried a heavy basket on his back and walked cautiously against the courtyard wall.

When he reached an area between the three yamen, the man stopped, looked up and saw signs hanging on both sides of the courtyard gate, which were Jiage Library of Taiyuan Prefecture and Jiage Library of Yangqu County.

Taiyuan Mansion and Yangqu County belong to the same place, and these shelf warehouses for storing government archives have always been shared.

And next to the Jiage warehouse in Heyangqu County, Taiyuan Prefecture, is the Jiage warehouse of the Secretary Yamen, the chief envoy of Shanxi Province.

The man carrying the basket stood in front of the gate of Jiageku in Taiyuan Mansion and Yangqu County, pushing his palm towards the wooden door.Without any hesitation, the door was pushed open a gap.

The man immediately slid sideways into the cabinet.

After entering the Jiage warehouse, there were no guards on duty clearly stipulated by the government, and it was pitch black all around.

The man walked all the way into the warehouse with the basket on his back.

At this time, there was still no one to be seen.

The man brought out a brazier from the corner of the warehouse, and poured out half of the coal in the basket behind him.

Then poured some black fire oil on the coal.

The fire pocket was taken out by this person, the seal was pulled off, and the fire pocket was blown a few times to see that the sparks had already ignited.

The man put the fire folder on the brazier, stretched out his hand and patted it lightly twice.

The sparks fall from the fire fold into the brazier.

There was a muffled bang.

The whole brazier was ablaze.

The man waited for a while until all the coals in the brazier were burning, and then he stretched out his hand and gently pushed against the edge of the brazier.

With a bang, the entire brazier fell to the ground in an instant, and the burning coals were scattered all over the ground.

The fire also kindled.

Seeing that the wooden boards on the ground also started to ignite, the man raised his foot and kicked a piece of burning coal onto the pile of books beside him.

The flame struggled a few times, raging and quickly ignited the pile of books.

Seeing that everything was done, the man breathed a sigh of relief, quietly pushed out of the warehouse, closed the door carefully, and then silently disappeared into the wind and snow outside.

Time is flowing bit by bit.

Suddenly, bright flames ignited in Taiyuan City.

The flames shone on the snow that had reached the position of the calf, and the light reflected to the surroundings.

The entire city of Taiyuan lit up in an instant.

An exclamation came from an unknown yamen.

"Go away!"
