Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 1236 If you are too positive, there will be problems

Before dark that day, the team arrived in Cangzhou, 350 miles away.

The leading ice truck drove to the river and raised a red flag. The ice trucks behind saw it and docked one after another. The driver took down the tent and firewood from the vehicle and prepared to set up the tent and make a fire for cooking.

"I feel like I've traveled more than 350 miles today." Zhu Di got out of the car and moved his body, preparing to inspect the status of the team.

"That's not true." Zhu Zhen also got out of the car, and he was going to go for a walk with his fourth brother. Even he needs to digest food after eating twenty plates of mutton. "The river is not straight. When we came out of Tongzhou, we walked southeast first and then went south when we reached Xianghe. So we actually ran four hundred miles today."

"It's exactly as you expected." Fourth brother couldn't help but admire.

"It's only the old handlers who can run this result." Zhu Zhen said softly: "Those rookies can run two hundred miles, thank God."

"Once you are familiar with it, you will become an old bird in three days." Zhu Di smiled and patted Lao Liu and said: "It is good to be cautious, but being too cautious will be too tiring."

"Really?" Zhu Zhen was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said, "It seems like this. I am always afraid of poor planning, poor execution, and variables."

"The responsibility my father has placed on your shoulders is too heavy." Zhu Di looked at his sixth brother who was taller than him with some distress.

Although Zhu Di and Zhu Zhen were already very full, the coachmen were so enthusiastic that they offered their food to them, so they happily tried a big bowl of food.

"Okay, let me think about it." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "The boatmen in Guangdong have Tingzi porridge. The porridge we make in Peiping with ice handlebars is called Bingpai porridge!"

"Before going to bed, check whether there is any frostbite on your limbs and ears. If there is any frostbite, go to a military doctor immediately. Don't delay." Zhu Di ordered again.

"What's the name for this stupid thing?" Everyone laughed and said, "Why don't the prince give me one?"

The two of them chatted and laughed and came to the middle of the coachmen to watch them cooking porridge. Time was short, and the government only provided rice, noodles and salt, but for the Chinese New Year, the coachmen brought some roast chicken and duck with sauce, chopped it up and cooked it together in the porridge, and finally added some vegetable leaves, which turned out to be very fragrant.

"So the fourth brother has to help me." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "The most comfortable period for me was when I was hanging out with you and the third brother."

~~
Early the next morning, Zhang Jicai, the prefect of Hejian, came personally with two thousand ice trucks loaded with firewood.

"Have a rest after eating the porridge. We have to continue our journey tomorrow." Zhu Zhen warned them a few more words, asking them to keep warm and make a strong fire, so they don't have to worry about running out of firewood. Because all the prefectures and counties along the way have received orders to support them, at least they don't have to worry about firewood.

This is the ice trucks and supplies that Hejian Prefecture urgently dispatched from various counties after receiving the order.

"Haha, it's because someone is taking the blame for you." Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay!" No matter how others felt, at least the coachmen were very happy. There is a porridge named after myself, which is enough to brag about for a lifetime.

"Okay." The coachmen responded happily. Although it was freezing cold and there was not much warmth around the fire, everyone felt warm in their hearts because the two princes cared about them.

"Well, it's really delicious." The two rice pails were full of praise after drinking. Zhu Zhen asked: "Does this porridge have a name?"

Moreover, not only the coachman would join the team to go south together, but even Magistrate Zhang also volunteered and asked to go south together.

"Hejian is a big city. The states and counties are too far away to transport all the supplies to Cangzhou at once. So I will ask the southern states and counties to transport them to Jingzhou." Zhang Jicai said to the two princes: "So I'm going to I'd better go south with you, so that we can coordinate the handover."

"Well, that makes sense." Zhu Di looked at him suspiciously and said, "Then what else do you want to do with us in Shandong?" "You want to do your part." Zhang Jicai said with a smile, "Besides, the two together must be four thousand. Coachman, someone has to take care of it, right?”

"Are your northern officials so enlightened?" Zhu Zhen couldn't help but admire: "Southern officials are not so proactive."

"You must have other plans? Tell me honestly and clearly, otherwise I will go back." Zhu Di said angrily.

"I really have no other meaning." Zhang Jicai hurriedly knelt down and said, "I just want to make a contribution to the princes."

"You want us to recommend you to the court?" Zhu Di looked at him.

"No, no, absolutely not." Zhang Jicai waved his hands and said repeatedly: "I have no wrong thoughts about Xiaguan. I just heard some rumors and was afraid. I asked the two princes for protection."

"I just said something happened, right? What kind of rumors?" Zhu Di said solemnly: "Explain it to me once and for all, don't tell me half the story!"

"Yes, yes." Zhang Jicai nodded quickly and said truthfully: "The lower official heard about the emperor's decree and arrested all the officials from the Procuratorate of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Household Affairs Bureau. He also wanted to arrest all the officials in the provinces and prefectures Check it out!”

"Oh? When did it happen?" When Zhu Zhen heard this, three words immediately popped into his mind - Guo Huan case!

"The first day of the first lunar month." Zhang Jicai whispered.

"You're the fucking Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty, aren't you?" Zhu Di didn't believe it: "You, the prefect, know something that we don't know first?"

"It's normal." Zhu Zhen said without feeling strange: "First of all, we are on our way now, and it has nothing to do with us, so we didn't receive any urgent reports. Secondly, they have offices in Beijing, and any news will be spread as soon as possible. return."

"What office in Beijing?" Zhu Di was stunned.

But Zhang Jicai understood: "Your Majesty, are you talking about the experience of the Chief Secretary and the Inspector General being stationed in the capital and specifically liaising with various ministries?"

"That's what I mean." Zhu Zhen nodded. "Don't you have any arrangements in your house?"

"Xiaguan only sent people to contact Peking, and they couldn't contact the Beijing level." Zhang Jicai hesitated for a moment, and then answered honestly: "But Xiaguan has some friendship with the two people stationed in Beijing in the province, so I passed by Hejian Mansion Sometimes, I will also have some explanations with my subordinates.”

"Just last night, Hou Qiang of the Chasi Dynasty rushed back from the capital like crazy and exhausted his horses to death." Zhang Jicai nodded and said, "I went to the magistrate's Yamen to ask for horses from my subordinates, saying that there was an extremely urgent matter. I want to report it to Zhao Zhitai and Li Fantai."

"The lower official told them not to worry, because they have already been sent to jail." Zhang Jicai continued: "It was only then that Hou experienced what happened in Beijing and told me that this time was not a joke, especially In Peiping, everyone must be tried and pass the test.”

As he spoke, he looked at the two princes pitifully and said, "So please protect me from the two princes and let me avoid this disaster. I will definitely repay you with all my heart."

Zhu Zhen and Zhu Di looked at each other, and the latter asked coldly: "Are you also involved in embezzling military rations?"

"That's absolutely not true!" Zhang Jicai hurriedly pointed to the sky and swore: "If I embezzle even a grain of military ration, my whole family will be killed!"

"Then you're afraid of a ball?" Zhu Di asked in confusion.
