Daming heir

Chapter 497
Up north or down south?

Just in an instant, Zhu Yunxi already had a choice in his mind.

And he also roughly figured out what happened to Zhu Yunqi.

Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at Gao Yangzhi, and gently pulled the rein in his hand, and the horse with black hair and no mess stepped forward.

Gao Yangzhi at the back understood, and also drove the horse to follow, but he didn't forget to look back at the curious elementary school boy.

Bai Yuxiu, who had always hoped that one day she would be able to walk into Wenyuan Pavilion as a bachelor, immediately showed a smile on her face, shook the reins, and followed.

Sun Cheng saw that His Royal Highness was like this, so he and Tian Mai personally guarded the three of them not far behind.

The northern patrol team behind also started to move again, but because of Sun Cheng and Tian Mai's pressure, the speed was not fast, and they remained silent. The only sound on the entire official road was the clanging of horses and carriages in the team.

Because of the imperial court's regulations, only officials of the third rank and above in Beijing can ride in sedan chairs, so all the officials accompanying the Northern Tour traveled on horseback.

Officials in the early days of the country, except that they didn't know how to carry a knife to fight the enemy, they were generally able to do other things.

Whenever something happens, the hall official with the palm print can also get on the horse and drive the horse to attack.

The accompanying officials who rode in groups in front of the team looked at the backs of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun and Gao Ge's horses driving north along the official road, with solemn and uneasy expressions.

"Your Highness's move, isn't it to ignore Fengyang's side?"

The censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was accompanying him on the northern tour this time, frowned, his face was dark, as if someone owed him a lot of money.

An official from the Military Examination Department said in a low voice, "Your Highness is kind-hearted, and all he cares about is the livelihood and safety of the common people. How can His Highness be at ease now that such a big incident happened on the river? Ten thousand subjects don't care?"

The crowd fell silent for a while.

Among the officials who accompanied the northern tour this time, the officials from the Dudu Rites Department ended up with only one principal accompanying the northern tour.

The man frowned and said, "The subjects of Henan Province are in danger, but the Third Department of Henan Province and the local prefectures and counties are in charge of relief. The affairs on the river are also managed by the Yamen of the Governor of the River.

His Highness is rushing over now, at most it is to calm people's hearts.

It means that the hearts of the subjects in Henan Province have stabilized, but what about Fengyang?Why was that person deposed and imprisoned in the Imperial City of Zhongdu?I think you are all clear.

Such a matter is related to the foundation of our great Ming Dynasty, and involves the position of the country's heir, how can it be easily ignored? "

The accompanying officials of the Ministry of Industry also echoed: "Although the wealthy family in the imperial city of Zhongdu never took him away, he has disappeared. His heart must be different! The plan is huge! What does he want to do? You all know what you can do."

After finishing speaking, the official of the Ministry of Industry sneered, with a murderous look in his eyes.

People around nodded in agreement.

"This statement is true!" The people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate agreed, and said, "It's just that I can't figure it out. Where can he go? Who is he entangled with?"

"I'm afraid it's not related to His Highness's blockade of Fengyang City this time, but it's probably the gangsters from the White Lotus Society!"

"Jin Yiwei has been living for nothing all these years! In the past 30 years, even a small Bailian Church has never been able to catch it. This time, when I return to Beijing, I will definitely play impeachment!"

Some people were so annoyed that they already cursed in a low voice without thinking about it.

Jinyiwei Tiqi, who was driving a horse to guard beside the team, couldn't help but look sideways.

The person who scolded him was originally an old man who had been in the court for many years. At the age of 50 or [-], he could be considered an old man in today's court.

Seeing Jin Yiwei and the helpless bastards looking over, he immediately raised his eyes.

"What do you see?"

"How long has it been? Since the first year of Hongwu, His Majesty has issued a decree to ban the White Lotus Church and so on. You eat the king's salary, but don't want to share the king's worries. Indulge the treacherous and gangsters to cause disasters and create turmoil.

In the spring of this year, His Highness gave relief to Henan, and there was even an ambush in Xuzhou Mansion.I heard that everyone from the White Lotus Church participated in the planning that time. "

The old man scolded, several Jinyi Wei Tiqi's faces turned hot, and they didn't want to separate from the old man.

The mouths of people like myself have never been the opponents of this group of scholars.

But the old man couldn't stop his mouth, with an angry expression on his face: "How much money the imperial court spends on food every year, how much power Jin Yiwei takes, a bunch of idiots, now such absurd things are happening, are you going to call Mrs. Sun..."

"Calm down your anger, don't say a few words."

The old man was cursing, but the people around him still felt that he was so out of manners, so they tried to dissuade him.

The old man snorted twice, glanced at Gao Yangzhi who turned his head to this side, then raised his head and looked at the sky in a muffled voice.

After this.

The official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who spoke first said in a low voice: "Later, I will discuss with Mr. Gao Ge to see if the Northern Patrol is here, and if we want to submit a memorial to respond to the sky."

"Your Majesty and the crown prince must know about this matter. The imperial court cannot sit idly by anyway. All divisions should suppress the matter and supervise those who should be suppressed. Jin Yiwei also needs to find someone, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has to write the local guard. Beware of bad guys taking advantage of the opportunity to create turmoil."

In the corner of the team, Qiu Fengzhen, the former magistrate of Fengyang Prefecture in the central capital who was named to accompany the northern tour, was terrified for a while when he heard the discussions of these Beijing officials and colleagues.

At this moment, Qiu Fengzhen was extremely fortunate that she was dragged into the northern tour team by His Royal Highness, instead of being left in Fengyang City and facing the trouble of missing people.

Feng Yunsong, it's your luck!

Qiu Fengzhen clenched the rein tightly, with a snigger at the corner of her mouth.

If he was still in Fengyang City, he would definitely have to bear this matter by himself.I am the magistrate of Fengyang, and the first herdsman official in the territory of Zhongdu.

And although Feng Yunsong is the left-behind of the Central Capital's left-behind department, he is only in command of the soldiers and horses of the guards on the border of the Central Capital, and does not participate in the local government affairs of the Central Capital.

In Qiu Fengzhen's heart, the boss's luck and joy, as long as the blame is not on her, everything will be fine.

He couldn't help but looked up at His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun who was in the deepest part of the countless backs, and all the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared.

At this moment, Zhu Yunxi ignored the thoughts of these accompanying officials.

He was leading the way on horseback, and on both sides of the official road were barren fields after the autumn harvest.

There are a few ditches farther up and down, and there are a small number of people who are cleaning the ditches before winter, so as to ensure that the ditches will not be blocked after the rain in the spring next year.

Gao Yangzhi said in a low voice: "Today Henan Road and Fengyang Mansion are here to play separately, both places are urgent matters. Your Highness chooses to go north to Henan Road at this moment, and I know that this is because His Highness cares about the people and cannot bear the disaster for the people.

As for the matter of Fengyang, I am afraid that His Highness also has a conclusion in his mind.It's just that the minister is still worried, if left alone, it may lead to changes and local turmoil.

No matter how bad it is, that person may be in danger of life. "

Bai Yuxiu, who was on the side, blinked, raised her spirits, and silently listened to every discussion between her senior and His Highness the Grandson.

Zhu Yunxie sighed lightly: "It's Gu's faulty thinking that caused him to be taken away by the gangsters. But if Fan Gu was more thoughtful yesterday, he wouldn't be in danger."

"Oh?" Gao Yangzhi smiled: "Your Highness, can you guess who was kidnapped?"

Zhu Yunxi looked away from the field next to the official road, and looked at Gao Chunfeng: "During this trip to Fengyang, I occasionally found traces of the White Lotus Church and Jin merchants. The officers and soldiers wantonly suppressed them, but what about the people hiding outside the city?
Thinking about this time, he was kidnapped by those people when he was leaving the city.

If I had mentioned something about the Fengyang government yesterday, such things would not have happened today. "

After he finished speaking, a trace of apology appeared on his face.

Gao Yangzhi let out a breath, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday Fengyang City was suppressed and killed countless people. If it is normal, even if there are criminals who have not been found out, they should continue to hide or abscond.

No one could have imagined that these people would be so daring, not only dare to act today, but also dare to kidnap that person.His Highness has been extremely lenient towards that person. Throughout all the dynasties and dynasties, there has never been such a harmonious situation. "

Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "Right now, it is only because of the more than [-] taels of property that I can be sure that even if he is robbed by the White Lotus Sect, his life will not be in danger for the time being. As for the matter of Henan Road, But it can’t be delayed, and it can only be shelved for the time being if the matter is urgent.”

Bai Yuxiu suddenly whispered at this time: "It's just that no matter what, we should know the whereabouts of that person as soon as possible. Whether it is rescue or other methods, we must always put him in the court's sight."

After finishing speaking, Bai Yuxiu immediately nodded her lower eyelids.

Gao Yangzhi glanced sideways at the young junior, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I'm afraid we should send someone to look for that person as Xiao Bai said."

Zhu Yunxi turned his eyes and pondered for a long time.

Then he turned his head and looked at Tian Mai who was behind the formation.

Tian Mai understood, and immediately rode forward: "Your Highness."

"The White Lotus Sect is making trouble this time, and Shanxi merchants are involved. If the second brother is kidnapped by the White Lotus Sect, where should he go?"

Tian Mai's eyes turned, and after thinking for a while, he answered, "It's time to go north."

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "It's just like what Gu thinks."

Tian Mai immediately clasped his fists and said, "There are people from us in Henan Road, over there on Nine Sides..."

He closed his mouth and glanced at Gao Yangzhi and Bai Yuxiu.

In this way, Tian Mai just continued: "My subordinates secretly ordered the north to send people to the south to intercept."

"Go."

Zhu Yunxi nodded in agreement.

Tian Mai clasped his fists and wanted to rush to the back of the team.

He is a secret guard, and these people have always hidden their true identities.

Just like Gao Yangzhi, who is already a cabinet minister here, he is also a member of the dark guard.Although his archives have been destroyed long ago, no one can change him. He has the experience of a secret guard.

Gao Yangzhi glanced twice, then nodded slightly.

Zhu Yunxi suddenly said, "Tian Mai."

Hearing the sound, Tian Mai reined in his horse and turned around: "What else do you need to say, Your Highness?"

Zhu Yunxi stared at Tian Mai, and in the trance just now, the idea that came into his mind whispered: "Find him, get in touch, listen to his opinion, whether to leave or stay, everything is up to him."

Tian Mai hesitated for a moment, but still faithfully performed his duties, obeyed Zhu Yunxi's order, turned and left.

This time, it was Gao Yangzhi's turn to be puzzled.

He couldn't help suppressing his voice and said, "What are you doing, Your Highness?"

Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered, recalling the agreement with Zhu Yunqi yesterday: "Gu believes in his loyalty to Daming, and also believes that he will never do anything that harms the world!"

……

"I am sworn to death with Daming!"

"I am at odds with that treacherous Zhu Yunxi!"

"If I don't avenge my past revenge, I swear I won't be a human being!"

In an endless field of reeds, at the edge of the tidal flat near the water, Zhu Yunwen's face flushed, he held Qiuniang's hand tightly, and growled at Liu Zongsheng, Han Mingwang and others standing in front of him.

Starting from Fengyang, there are several passages going north.

In addition to the official road going north from Wangzhuang Station and Guzhen Station, there is another waterway.

Starting from Fengyang City, go east and pass Sishui Station, you can reach the Hongze Lake area.

Hongze Lake is surrounded by luxuriant water and grass, which obscures sight and makes it easy to hide.And board a boat at Hongze Lake and merge into the canal, and then you can hide among the merchant ships traveling north and south.

After kidnapping Zhu Yunwen and Qiu Niang by the Haoshui River outside Fengyang City, Liu Zongsheng, Han Mingwang and others rushed all the way to the vicinity of Hongze Lake, holding Zhu Yunwen and his wife hostage.

As long as it was getting late, the boats on the lake rushed over, and everyone could board the boats and escape.

And Zhu Yunwen's abnormal attitude on the road also made Liu Zongsheng and King Han Ming relax their vigilance against him, unaware that the other party would take the opportunity to slip away.

At this moment, Zhu Yunqi finally expressed his thoughts clearly in front of Liu Zongsheng and King Han Ming.

After Zhu Yunwen finished shouting, his eyes quickly swept across the faces of Liu Zongsheng and King Han Ming.

Afterwards, within a short while, his eyes were already red and bloodshot.

"Zhu Yunxie deserves to die! Mother and concubine died tragically in the Ming court. As a son of man, I will never forget the revenge of killing my mother. This revenge is bound to be avenged!"

"Hongwu is stupid, bewitched by children, disregarding the country, the policy of the court is turbulent, and the people are in dire straits. This is really wrong! Ruling the country by killing and attacking, resorting to military force, and returning to the thousand-year-old system, is extremely stupid."

"Zhu tomorrow is at stake! Anyone with lofty ideals in the world is welcome! Reshape the country and restore people's livelihood!"

Zhu Yunwen became more and more excited, and stared at Liu Zongsheng.

With a snap, he clasped his hands into fists.

He directly faced Liu Zongsheng and bowed.

Zhu Yunwen said in a loud voice: "My Excellency Guan is a rare talent in the world, and has an outstanding appearance, which can hold the ears of the universe. In the past and the past, your Excellency has led everyone to rescue me from the fire and water. My wife and I are very grateful, and we swear to die in our hearts. .

Yun Yun respectfully asks Your Excellency to be the leader, and then save the world's Li Shu from the fire and water!Yun Yun is willing to lead the horse and fall for your lordship, swearing to serve you to the death, only hope that by then, I can kill Zhu Yunxi's child with my own hands! "

Liu Zongsheng was almost happy in his heart.

Suddenly, he who just wanted to take advantage of Zhu Yunqi's identity turned out to want to train him well.

It's just that the other party is still Zhu Ming's heir after all, and this matter needs to be discussed in a long-term manner. Only when he has fully grasped the other party can he gradually entrust him with important tasks.

But King Han Ming who was at the side was already about to explode with anger.

From Haoshui to Hongze Lake, along the way, he was clearly surrounded by everyone, and he was the person with the highest status.

He didn't believe that Zhu Yunqi couldn't see it.

But the other party directly pointed at Liu Zongsheng, saying that he wanted to recommend the other party.

Zhu Yunwen saw that the two were silent for a while.

With a smile on his face, he said in a low voice, "I don't know where I'm going right now? If there's something I want to do next, it's okay to say it!"
