80 Truth
"We can't run away from Xiangyuan Palace, let's go to Taiyuan first. After a little thought, Lu Ji made a decision.
They are a group of five people, and there is already one person who has gone to chase the escaped thief, if they disperse again, I am afraid that they will encounter interception and killing if they can't go to Taiyuan. Lu Jifeng came and went in the rain, so he was naturally not afraid of the challenges of those thieves, but Gu Qian and Gu Xiaojiu had never experienced this kind of battle, so I was afraid that something would go wrong.
Lu Ji wanted to handle the case, but he was not a cold-blooded person, so he naturally would not watch Gu Qian go to his death.
"Then let's leave now?" Without further ado, we must rush to Taiyuan Mansion as soon as possible.
"Don't worry," Lu Ji shook his head and said, "After tossing all night, take a rest first." Immediately let the lieutenant tie up the spies of the Xiangyuan Palace, and ordered his subordinates to boil a pot of porridge, and several people drank hot porridge, and they had strength, so they rushed to the direction of Taiyuan City.
Lu Ji had the token of the Jinyi Guard on his body, so he naturally had priority to pass, and they rode all the way to the gate of the Daiwang Mansion, and strode in under the frightened gaze of the porter.
The current acting king Zhu Chongyun is a cautious person, and he doesn't want to work against the emperor of the dynasty, so most of the time he nests in the house to raise flowers and tease birds, and recruits a troupe to listen to small dramas or something in his spare time, and his life is quite free.
It's just that he didn't expect that among the children who were separated from the side branches, there was really that unscrupulous, who dared to insult the imperial history in the street, and also bullied the market, and smashed other people's restaurants.
Unbalanced in his heart, Zhu Chongyun called Zhu Chongyao over to reproach him, not only pointed at his nose and scolded him for not being angry, but also punished him for several years.
"Lord Qiqi, Jinyi Wei Qianhu Lu sent people to ask to see. โ
"Jin Yiwei?" Zhu Chongyun's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition, "What are they doing here?"
"They dragged someone in their hands, saying they had come to you to ask about the situation. โ
"Find me to ask about the situation?" Zhu Chongyun secretly complained in his heart, don't you have another uncompetitive child who is in trouble, right? Otherwise, why would Jinyiwei come to the door?
"Your Royal Highness. "Lu Ji is very polite, and he met the acting king, and he is now paying a visit.
"No courtesy," Zhu Chongyun raised his hand, puzzled, "I don't know what a few people are looking for this king?"
Lu Ji was not polite, when he was about to be seized in Datong City, Zhu Chongyao listened to his story, his face turned green, he knew that those side branch disciples were not angry, but he didn't expect them to be so bold that they teamed up with outsiders to burn down the Datong grassland?
You don't want to live the king, but don't drag Lao Tzu into the water!
Zhu Chongyun's face was blue and white for a while, originally he was a taboo in the royal palace, but now the disciples of the side branches have committed this kind of sin of killing their heads, where does he dare to touch it, and hurriedly ordered the captain of the palace and asked them to arrest people.
"Don't worry, as long as Zhu Chongyao is in Taiyuan City, this king will never let him go. โ
"Your Highness is wise, and the lower officials admire," Lu Ji arched his hand, and said, "The lower officials also arrested a person on the way from Datong to Taiyuan, but this person is involved in the Xiangyuan Palace. โ
"What?" Hearing this explosive news, Zhu Chongyun's eyes darkened, is this the day to kill him? Why is it not that there is a thing in Taiyuan that sells his ancestors, and there is also one in Xiangyuan?
"Who is it?" he asked, gritting his teeth.
"It's Lieutenant Zhu Chonghui of Fengguo. โ
"Zhu Chonghui?" Zhu Chongwei frowned, he didn't have any impression of this person, but it didn't matter if he didn't have an impression, the important thing was that he had to quickly clear up the involvement, and the best way was to arrest this person with his own hands.
In order to make up for my mistakes, I am willing to let the three hundred soldiers in the palace be sent by the lord, so that the thieves who do evil can be arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible. โ
The acting king's words were quite sincere, and it also expressed his attitude of drawing a line with those side branch disciples, Lu Ji nodded, and said to Zhu Chongyun, "Thank you, Your Highness, your majesty will lead the troops to set off to Xiangyuan to catch the traitor." โ
Without further ado, Lu Ji ordered troops and left, Gu Qian only had time to tell him to be careful all the way, and Lu Qianhu had already run away with people.
"My lord, what should we do next?" Gu Xiaojiu asked in a low voice as he looked at the royal palace guards galloping away.
"Let's go," Gu Qian put his hand into his sleeve and said calmly, "Naturally, we're waiting for news." โ
The acting king has already sent someone to arrest Zhu Chongyao, if the acting king wants to prove his innocence, then he will definitely spare no effort to find Zhu Chongyao and hand it over to Datong.
And the captain sent by Lu Ji to track down another thief will also rush back in the evening, so all Gu Qian can do now is wait.
The two of them waited and waited, until the evening, only to see the captains of the palace running back in a hurry, looking at the captains who had found nothing, Gu Qian's heart lifted, Taiyuan is the territory of the acting king, if even he can't catch Zhu Chongyao, then where will Zhu Chongyao go?
Did you run away?
He was thinking about it, but he heard the long history of the palace come to pass the word, saying that the captains searched around Taiyuan City and did not find Zhu Chongyao, I am afraid that they have absconded in fear of crime, and the words of the city gate official also confirmed this, saying that they saw General Zhu go out of the city early in the morning.
"Ran away?" Gu Qian frowned, they had just come over to arrest someone, and Zhu Chongyao ran away? Could this be too much of a coincidence?
"My lord, did you say that ......" Gu Xiaojiu pointed in the direction of the main courtyard and whispered, "Is it the one who let people go?"
Gu Qian also had this concern, after all, they were all surnamed Zhu, and they were all from the acting king.
The master and servant were about to find a way to confirm this suspicion, but the other captain who hurried back to follow him dispelled his thoughts, because this captain had brought back more exciting news.
"What did you say?" Gu Qian listened to the captain's report, his eyes were about to pop out, "You said that Zhu Chongyao joined the thief who escaped before and went all the way to the north of Sichuan?"
In northern Sichuan, Gu Qian supported his forehead, and after Zhu Chongyao's accident, he did not run north, but went all the way to the south, what is the reason? Could it be that there are still people in Sichuan Province who have collusion with him?
Things are getting more and more complicated, and Gu Qian also feels that his brain is not enough, but now is not the time to be lazy, he must smooth out the context of the matter, and he can't let the other party lead the way.
"You said Zhu Chongyao went to northern Sichuan?" The acting king was also shocked when he received the news, no wonder his people couldn't catch Zhu Chongyao, it turned out that this guy had already run away, "But what did he do in northern Sichuan?"
This is also what Gu Qian wants to know, but now he has no clue, Gu Qian is secretly thinking to himself, but the acting king shouted, "It's broken." โ
"Why did the prince say this?" Gu Qian asked.
"Sichuan Wangfu! Zhu Chongyao must have colluded with Sichuan Wangfu!"
Looking at the excited face of the acting king, Gu Qian couldn't help but remind him loudly, "Lord Wang, even if there is this possibility, we must find evidence." โ
Anyone will say it when they touch their mouths, but there is no evidence that it is useless to break the sky. The acting king obviously knew this truth, he sat back on the throne, and said unhappily, "Why did Zhu Chongyao go to northern Sichuan? What else can he do besides find the king of Sichuan to protect him, don't forget what happened in Sichuan Province, if they collude with the Tatars, the Dajing Dynasty will have โกโก trouble!"
When Gu Qian heard this, he knew that Zhu Chongyun was not talking about fun, Sichuan Province is rich in iron and salt, but these two things are both regulated and the money comes quickly, if the Sichuan Wangfu really has an objection, it is not a good thing for Jing Dynasty. Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, this situation must be implemented as soon as possible, and the sooner the evidence is found, the sooner these traitors will be brought to justice.
The matter became bigger and bigger, and the acting king couldn't sit still, so he ordered someone to raid Zhu Chongyao's home, trying to find some clues about Zhu Chongyao's collaboration with the enemy.
The acting king was busy clearing his suspicions, and he naturally worked very hard to investigate the case, Gu Qian was not idle, he gathered all the clues together, made a chart, and investigated them one by one according to the personnel relationships above.
The hard work paid off, just when Gu Qian was looking for clues along the relationship map, Lu sent a message that when he searched the Xiangyuan Palace, he found letters between Zhu Chonghui and the King of Sichuan and the Tatar tribes, one of these letters was in Jing Dynasty script, but it had the same meaning as the Tatar note they found on the thief.
With conclusive evidence, Gu Qian and the acting king Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief and arrested the emperor's relatives, which itself was risky. Fortunately, their speculation was not wrong, Zhu Chongyao, Xiangyuan Wangfu and Sichuan Wang really colluded together, from the analysis of the content of the letter, they should have wanted to take advantage of the grassland to be burned, and when the supply of the border soldiers was insufficient, the Tatars should be released into the customs together.
"What do they want to do?" Gu Qian said angrily, "Do you want to kill the country by letting those Tartars in?"
Master Gu's hat was buttoned a little big, and the acting king glanced at him and didn't say a word.
Gu Qian realized that he had lost his words, arched his hand, and retreated in a sneering manner.
With the deepening of the investigation, the matter has become more and more clear, Zhu Chongyao and Zhu Chonghui used their identity and geographical advantages to thread the needle for the king of Sichuan and the Tatars, and transported the crossbowmen and fire oil and other items trained by the king of Sichuan to Datong and several other guards, because they are the imperial relatives, so their movements are not very restricted, which provides convenience for them to burn the grassland.
Of course, Zhu Chongyao and Zhu Chonghui will not do it themselves, but because of their cover, those crossbowmen will succeed repeatedly. In this way, the blame will naturally be attributed to the two of them, and as for the initiator, King Chuan, the wrath of Emperor Jiahe is waiting for him.
"Ridiculous, really ridiculous!" In the palace, after listening to Lu Ji's return, Emperor Jiahe was so angry that he dropped the cup on the spot.
"Long live the anger of the lord!"
"The saint is angry, take care of the dragon's body. โ
In the warm pavilion, there were a few voices of consolation, but the emperor was too angry, these things that were eaten inside and out, the rivers and mountains that the ancestors had worked so hard to build were actually given away by them!
The more Emperor Jiahe thought about it, the more angry he became, and while pacing in the hall, he wondered whether to let the Zongren Mansion draw up a new clause to punish those fools who did not follow the rules of the ancestors.
"Lu Ji!"
"The minister is here!"
"Immediately bring someone to arrest Zhu Yongzhao, that traitor, and bring me back!"
"Yes!" Lu Ji turned around to leave, but was stopped by Emperor Jiahe again, "Wait a minute!"
"What does the Holy Lord command?" Lu Ji stopped and said respectfully.
"If that traitor dares to resist...... Emperor Jiahe smiled coldly, and said in a gloomy voice, "There is no forgiveness for killing!"
"Yes!"
As an emperor, an emperor whose mind is not bad, Emperor Jiahe will not tolerate a traitor who wants to pull him off the throne, even if this traitor's surname is Zhu, Emperor Jiahe will never give him a chance to live.
Lu Ji took people to northern Sichuan, while Gu Qian stayed in Shanxi to do sweeping work, with the arrest of Zhu Chongyao, Zhu Chonghui and others, Gu Qian had more and more evidence in his hands, looking at the thick stack of confessions, Gu Qian knew that Zhu Chongyao and Zhu Chonghui were dead this time.
Originally, colluding with foreign enemies was a felony of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, not to mention that these two people were still the children of the Zhu family, and the whole world belonged to the Zhu family, but these two helped outsiders dig the corners of their own homes, and this kind of behavior was inferior to beasts.
When the news of the Sichuan King's armed resistance came, the death period of Zhu Chongyao and Zhu Chonghui had arrived, and the Xiangyuan palace had been raided, and the heads of the heads were killed, and the exiled people were exiled, and the once prosperous palace was defeated in an instant.
Gu Qian didn't sympathize with these people at all, if their conspiracy succeeded, what awaited the Great Jing Dynasty would be a catastrophe, so no matter how pitiful they were crying now, Gu Qian didn't stop moving forward.
The king of Sichuan resisted by force and was shot on the spot, the hidden danger in the southwest was temporarily lifted, and Yan Dayue, the emperor of Jiahe, promoted Lu Ji to an official on the spot, and was promoted from a thousand households to a commander.
And Gu Qian, who was far away in Shanxi, also followed suit, and was promoted from the border patrol to the prefect of Taizhou, and went to work on the same day.
"Prefect?" Gu Xiaojiu looked at Gu Qian happily and said, "Master, you have been promoted!"
"Ahh Gu Qian nodded, and before he had time to be beautiful, his face suddenly collapsed.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
"It's over, it's over. Gu Qian hugged his head in pain, "I almost forgot, now Taizhou is at war!" I thought that I would be promoted to a rich place to enjoy happiness, but I almost forgot the most famous anti-Japanese war in the Jing Dynasty.
Especially before Qi Yuanjing wrote a letter to him, saying that he was transferred to Ningtai as a general, he was still teasing in private at that time that General Qi's road to being a handsome and domineering famous general was about to open, but he didn't expect that he would also participate in this historical event.
I have just felt the ferocity of the Tatars, and I am about to face the long knife of the Japanese Kou, Lord Gu burst into tears, when will this sad life be a head!
