Jinyi Night Walk

"Okay, okay, okay" Yang Xu, you are really capable, I didn't misunderstand you, and you have obtained the evidence of King Zhou's rebellion at such a fast speed. ", Zhu Yunfen held Zhu Youran's confession and expressed joy.

Xia Xun bowed, and said dryly: "Thank you, the emperor, for your compliment, I just did my duty." Luo Kedi glanced at him with a smile, and said to Zhu Yunfen: "Although Jin Yiwei has been greatly reduced, fortunately There are also some people who are calm and experienced in doing things. They will naturally do their best for the errands assigned by the emperor. From now on, if the emperor has any orders, as long as he orders them down, Jin Yiwei will still try his best to be loyal to the emperor. What I think is only the thoughts of the emperor"

Zhu Yunfen frowned slightly. Huang Zicheng said that it is best to leave this matter to the Jinyiwei, but he will never indulge the Jinyiwei, give them too much power, and restore their former glory. Now that Luo Kedi said so, it is obvious It is to seek greater power.But right now is the time for employing people, and he should not be too cold. Zhu Yunfen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Well, I know that Luo Qian is loyal to the country. Oh, I have invited Huang Zicheng Gentlemen Qi Tai and Qi Tai are here to discuss the matter of Suo Na Zhou Fan, you two, participate together."

Seeing that he didn't mention his support for the Jinyiwei Yamen, Luo Ke was a little disappointed, but when he heard that Zhu Yunfen had participated in a secret discussion and discussed national policy with Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, it was clearly an extreme trust again. Immediately, a glimmer of hope sprouted again, and he quickly leaned over and said, "Yes, I obey."

After a while, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng rushed to the Jinshen Hall, and Zhu Yunfen immediately showed them the confession of Zhu Youlan, the second son of the king of Zhou. The two were overjoyed after seeing it. Your Majesty, I have this handle in my hand." The imperial court cut Zhou Fan, and he became famous as a teacher. "

Qi Tai also smiled and said: "If Zhou Fan cuts off, not only can he cut off an arm of King Yan, but he can also use this to watch the movements of the kings. Strategies to ensure the smooth implementation of the imperial government’s policies.”

Zhu Yunfen was praised by two confidant ministers, and immediately said with complacency: "Okay, I will issue an edict" to relieve King Zhou from going to Beijing to question his crimes! "

"Hold on, Your Majesty!" Huang Zicheng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has just lifted the military power of the kings, and there are still many generals in the troops stationed in various places who are subordinates of the kings for a long time. Chaos? Even if the imperial court can capture him, the locality will suffer." Zhu Yunfen said "ah", and said: "Mr. reminded, then... what should I do?" Huang Zicheng said with confidence: "Surprise , hit him by surprise!", Qi Tai frowned, and said in his heart: "The majestic court, since he has taken his criminal evidence, and will not publicize his crime" and "obtain it" to make a surprise attack, this is not to show weakness So, is this the work of the majestic emperor?"

But Huang Zicheng is Zhu Yunfen's teacher, and he is closer to him, seeing the emperor humbly asking for advice." Qi Tai opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

After hearing Huang Zicheng's words, Zhu Yunfen said, "What you said is reasonable." That's it. I ordered Wei Guogong Xu Huizu to lead his troops to patrol the north, and captured the King of Zhou in one fell swoop. "

Because of Yang Xu's case last time, although Yang Xu was just an introduction and he didn't pay much attention to him as a small person, he was annoyed by the Zhongshan Palace. When he heard that the emperor wanted to grant this great service to the Xu family, he felt in his heart. He was very unwilling. He thought for a while and said, "I think that it is better to send Cao Guogong than Wei Guogong." Zhu Yunfen was surprised and said, "Sir, do you mean Jiujiang? Why is he suitable?" Huang Zicheng Said: "Your Majesty, when the first emperor was here, Cao Guogong went to many places to train and patrol, and sent Cao Guogong there, let alone arouse suspicion. Moreover, Cao Guogong's father, Li Wenzhong, King Qiyang, had many old ministries, all in the capital of Henan. General, if Cao Guogong goes out, these generals will be more respectful when they see that they are the sons of the former marshal, and there will be fewer who are willing to follow Zhou Ni." Zhu Yunfen nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, sir. Think carefully. Come on Hurry up and declare the Duke of Cao, Li Jinglong, to be the leader!" Li Wenzhong is the number one general under Zhu Yuanzhang's command. If he is said to be handsome, Xu Da, Hu Dahai, Chang Yuchun and others are all handsome talents trained by Zhu Yuanzhang after a long period of war. Li Wenzhong was the number one general under Zhu Yuanzhang. In the later period, the old commanders died and retreated, and Li Wenzhong became the number one figure in the army.Li Wenzhong is also the son of Zhu Yuanzhang's cousin Princess Cao Guochang, so he is related to the emperor. When the prince Zhu Biao was there, he often took his son Zhu Yunfen to Li's house as a guest, so Zhu Yunfen has a very good relationship with this cousin. .

When Li Jinglong heard that the emperor had summoned him, he immediately stood in the palace to meet him. He must lead his troops to destroy the feudal clan and capture the king of Zhou, so he agreed immediately.

Zhu Yunfen said happily: "I can rest assured that Jiujiang will go out to handle this important event."

He glanced at Xia Xun who was standing at the end, and said again: "This time, Yang Xu has done the most to find the criminal evidence. You two went to the East China Sea together to arrest bandits, so you are familiar with each other. This time, let Yang Xu be your partner." Your vanguard, you must solve this matter without bloodshed, and don't let me down.

Li Jinglong glanced at Xia Xun with a half-smile, then bowed and said, "I obey the order!"

Xia Xun secretly sighed: "Is this dog skin plaster going to be put on again?"

It is Huang Zicheng's selfishness to have Li Jinglong in command, but in fairness, Li Jinglong is indeed more suitable than Xu Huizu for this kind of thing, because in recent years, the chances of the imperial court sending Li Jinglong out of Beijing for official business are indeed better than Wei Guogong Xu Huizu's. There are many, he just went to Shaanxi last year, and went to Suzhou and Hangzhou at the beginning of the year. Now let him tour the north so as not to arouse suspicion.

As for the generals in Zhou Wangfan who were mostly led by Li Wenzhong, it is purely Huang Zicheng's nonsense.The generals Li Wenzhong led were everywhere, but they were not concentrated in Henan. Similarly, there were many generals led by Zhongshan King Xu Da in Henan. This reason is really not a reason.But in terms of personality, Xu Huizu has a square personality, and Li Jinglong is smooth and tricks. He is indeed more suitable than Xu Huizu.

According to the imperial decree, Li Jinglong ordered [-] troops. Under the guise of patrolling the border areas in the north, he left Nanjing in a mighty way, crossed the Yellow River all the way north, and went straight to Kaifeng.

When he arrived in Kaifeng, Li Jinglong garrisoned troops outside the city and went to the city to meet the King of Zhou. The King of Zhou didn't know his purpose and even hosted a banquet in honor of him.It was only at this time that Xia Xun realized the power of this so-called big straw-mouthed honey-belly sword. His goal was King Zhou, but he was calm and composed in front of King Zhou. They were all fifth uncles, who made King Zhou, a non-mainstream botanist, dizzy.

During the dinner, only the second prince, Zhu Youran, was aware of Li Jinglong's arrival. When he saw Xia Xun who was by Li Jinglong's side, his face turned pale and his mind was restless, and he quickly found an excuse for being unwell Withdrew and avoided.

Li Jinglong visited the king of Zhou, tried his best to dispel the vigilance of the king of Zhou, and at the same time successfully dispelled the vigilance of the king of Zhou. He declined the kindness of the king of Zhou to stay in the palace on the pretext of meeting several old subordinates of his father, and transferred to the capital. Commander Si Yamen.

Li Jinglong took out the emperor's secret decree and read out the emperor's decree. The generals of the Henan Metropolitan Commander quickly accepted the decree and agreed. As the general guarding the four gates, Li Jinglong rushed back to the barracks with the commander of the Henan capital that night, led the imperial army to surround the residence of the three guards of King Zhou, and read out the imperial edict.

With the emperor's will and the encirclement of the army, even the commander of Kaifeng stood in front of Cao Guogong's tent to listen to the order. The three guards of King Zhou knew that the situation was unstoppable, so they obediently abandoned their weapons and surrendered. The guards immediately led the army back to Kaifeng, entered from the south gate, and surrounded Zhou Wangfu. At this time, the first ray of morning light in the east had just sprinkled on the earth.

The soldiers were so fast, Li Jinglong came in a hurry, and the commanders and envoys of the capital of Kaifeng cooperated tacitly. When the imperial court's sabers were unsheathed and bows were stringed, and the Zhou Palace was completely surrounded, the Zhou Palace didn't know anything about it.

The area around Prince Zhou's mansion was originally quiet and there were few people walking around. Seeing so many soldiers and horses at this moment, the common people even ran away early. These well-trained soldiers were not noisy at all. Did not get any news.

Li Jinglong rode on the horse and shouted: "Small the palace gate!" Two soldiers rushed up, grabbed the huge door knocker and smashed it, only a few times, and the two doors that had just opened inside were disheveled. So I ran to open the door, and when I opened the door, the two doors didn't look at who it was, and they cursed: "Who the hell is knocking on the door early in the morning, what place is this for..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw soldiers outside the palace gate in darkness, and the gun barrel stood up like a dense forest. He couldn't help being shocked, and said in a stuttering voice: "This...... this, this... is there anyone who rebelled?"

Li Jinglong waved his hand and said, "Take them down!"

Immediately snatched a few soldiers over, and lifted the two stunned doors aside, Li Jinglong was about to step in with his horse, when his heart suddenly moved, and he also squinted at Xia Xun, who was sitting silently on the black horse beside him, and said with a smile: " After all, the king of Zhou is the current emperor's uncle, so it's better to be courteous before serving as soldiers. Yang Baihu, please, go in and read the imperial decree to the king of Zhou, ordering the king of Zhou to bring the golden imperial book and lead his family to kneel down in the hall of Chengyun to welcome the angel. Otherwise, only soldiers will meet each other, and at that time, jade and stone will be destroyed, no wonder the country's public is unpredictable!", "Is this dog skin plaster still not giving up?" Contrary to Li Jinglong's expectations, Xia Xun was neither timid nor timid. Not worried, he just smiled faintly, got off the horse and said, "I obey!"

Tightening his belt, swinging his saber, Xia Xun walked towards the half-open door, and disappeared inside the door steadily...! ~!
