Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 349 Zhangye
"Okay, I know." Zhu Houzhao nodded, looking noncommittal.

"Let's talk about it when your master arrives!" After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, signaling for Fuyangzi to retreat.

Fu Yangzi didn't dare to stay any longer, he quickly saluted and retreated.

Zhu Houzhao turned his head to look at Tang Bohu, and then asked, "Aiqing, do you know this Zhang Jingding?"

"Return to Your Highness, I know something." Tang Bohu introduced: "from Yuhang, Zhejiang, formerly known as Zongren, who has practiced Confucianism for generations, and is proficient in the study of nature and reason. Abandoning his family and wandering around, he visited high-ranking scholars. Later, when he visited Qingcheng Mountain, he saw Zhou Yuanpu and admired his noble morals, so he taught him and still lived in seclusion on the rooftop."

"In the first year of Jingtai, Zhou Yuanpu sent his apprentice Zhao Jingding to Qingcheng to confer the Great Commandment of Longmen. He is the fifth generation master of Longmen."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly after listening to Tang Bohu's introduction.He didn't ask Tang Bohu why he knew, nor did he ask why Fu Yangzi came to Tang Bohu.Some things don't have to be that clear.

Standing up and stretching, Zhu Houzhao turned to Tang Bohu beside him and said, "Go out with Ben Gong?"

"Your Highness has orders, and I will be happy to do so." Tang Bohu said with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and said to Liu Jin, "Go, bring Zhang Yun to me."

"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Jin agreed, then turned and walked outside.

Not long after, Zhang Yun walked in from the outside, his armor rattling on him.

He bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said: "My minister, Zhang He, sees Your Highness."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and said directly: "Call the people and horses together, and go out with Bengong."

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhang He naturally did not dare to neglect, Zhu Houzhao's words were imperial edicts for the Black Dragon Guard.

Zhang He turned around and went out.

Zhu Houzhao also began to change clothes, put on the armor, put on the helmet, pressed the long knife, and then nodded with satisfaction. It felt really good.

Turning on his tall horse, Zhu Houzhao directly ordered: "Let's go!" After finishing speaking, he led the people and rode away on the horse.

Heilongwei left Guyuan, this matter cannot be concealed, and it also frightened many people.

The last time His Royal Highness just sent people to arrest people, but there was such a big commotion in the northwest. This time, the entire Black Dragon Guard was dispatched. How much commotion does this have to create?
So everyone began to speculate, but no one knew what His Highness the Crown Prince was doing.

The news quickly reached the ears of He Jian, the governor of the three sides. He was also helpless, and at the same time he smiled wryly.

He sent someone to question Wang Shouren, the confidant of His Royal Highness, but Wang Shouren didn't know either.

He Jian was very helpless, and at the same time sent an order to report the prince's whereabouts immediately.There are more than 1 Black Dragon Guards, no matter where they go, there will be no small movements. He Jian still doesn't believe that they can disappear.

Where did Zhu Houzhao go?

The answer is simple, Zhu Houzhao went to Gansu, one of the towns of the Nine Frontier Army.

"My lord, my lord, His Royal Highness has come down."

Gansu governor Zhou Jilin's master ran in quickly, with a shocked and nervous expression on his face, and of course, a little excitement.

Zhou Jilin stood up abruptly, and asked incredulously, "Has the Crown Prince come down?"

"Yes." Master Zhou Chang nodded quickly and said.

Zhou Jilin was not as happy as Zhou Chang.

Zhou Jilin knew why Zhou Chang was happy. He had been the governor of Gansu for two years, and it was time to move.But where to move it is a question.

Over the years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty can be said to be more and more authoritative. Once His Highness the Crown Prince likes him, then this time, he might be able to accomplish a lot.

But Zhou Jilin didn't think so. Instead, he was very worried now. Is His Highness the Crown Prince so easy to curry favor with?
Looking at what His Highness the Crown Prince has done over the years, if you want to curry favor with His Highness the Crown Prince, you don't just have to say something nice.

Besides, who is His Highness the Crown Prince?That's a killing god, he came here, but he doesn't know why.Coming from Guyuan to Zhangye, this place is not a good place, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not come here if he has nothing to do.

"My lord, what is this?" Master Zhou Chang looked at Zhou Jilin and asked hesitantly.

"Forget it, when will His Royal Highness arrive?" Zhou Jilin looked at Zhou Chang and asked.

It's useless to think about it now, even if you don't want to, can you stop His Royal Highness from coming?

The answer is no.Since you can't stop it, then you can only greet her obediently and try your best to please her.Zhou Jilin was very clear about this.

"The person who sent the message will arrive in a few hours." Zhou Chang said eagerly: "My lord, we don't have much time left!"

Zhou Jilin glanced at Zhou Chang, and said angrily, "Hurry up, get ready."

Gently raising the whip in his hand, the Black Dragon Guard behind Zhu Houzhao stopped slowly, except for the snorting sound of the horse, there was no other sound.

Zhu Hou looked at the city in front of him, feeling a little complicated in his heart.This is Zhangye, the seat of Shaanxi Xingdusi and Gansu Town.

Zhu Houzhao had heard of this place in Zhangye countless times in his previous life, but it was his first time visiting Zhangye in his two lives.

Zhou Jilin and his group stood in place and waited. Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince looking at the Zhangye City Gate in front of him, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Let's set up camp!" Zhu Houzhao got off his horse, and said to Zhang Yun behind him, "Take people and enter the city with me."

A group of people entered Zhangye, Zhu Houzhao looked around from time to time, but didn't find much else, but Zhangye's city guards were good, they looked good, not thin, nor decadent, which is already considered good in places in the northwest up.

After entering the city, Zhou Jilin brought all the civil and military officials to see Zhu Houzhao.

Looking across the faces of the crowd, Zhu Houzhao looked at a man in armor. This man was Zhou Zhan, the General Soldier of Gansu.

He is in his 40s, with a big beard, and looks very serious, with piercing eyes and dark complexion.

After looking Zhou Zhan up and down, Zhu Houzhao asked directly: "Zhou Zhan, is there any military household in Gansu who escaped?"

Household escape, this is a problem that cannot be avoided in the northwest, especially the military households in the northwest, which is definitely the most serious place in Ming Dynasty.

Their living conditions are poor, they are oppressed by military officers, they don’t have enough to eat, they don’t have enough clothes to wear, and they are at the bottom of society.

This situation is very common in the northwest, otherwise where did the refugees in Zhongnan Mountain come from?Where did the refugees in the land of Jingxiang come from?

Zhu Houzhao knew all this, he just wanted to see what Zhou Zhan had to say.
