Chapter 69: Searching for Someone
"It's all slaves and maids who are not good, I don't look good at the princess, slaves and maids should be damned"
Qiu Ju is just a little girl, how can she go through such a big thing, she has already lost her master, and she pleads guilty.
"Your Royal Highness, it seems that the grass people feel really right, and there are really people following, this excitement here is probably deliberately performed for us to see, the purpose is to kidnap the princess, that is, I don't know if the person who kidnapped the princess knows the identity of the princess, if not, then kidnapping the princess is unintentional, and it is relatively easy to find, if you know the identity of the princess, and do so, then it depends on what the purpose of this thief is."
Zhu Houzhao said that he was not in a hurry, it was fake, and said indignantly: "Xiurong is a little girl, even if she wants to tie someone, shouldn't she also tie up the palace?" If you let this palace know who dares to go out to Xiurong, this palace will have to pick their skin, Xie Wu, this palace is very upset now, you come and give this palace an idea, where to start now. ”
After a moment of silence, Xie Zhi said, "Your Highness, there are currently two solutions. ”
Xie Zhi opened his mouth, and Zhu Houzhao asked impatiently, "What can I do?" Say it! ”
After a pause, Xie Zhi asked, "Your Highness, can you bring the jade deed?" ”
The jade deed is the waist card that can prove the identity of the prince.
Zhu Houzhao took out a waist card from his arms and said, "Take it, since I was arrested by the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses Division, I have been carrying it with me when I went out." ”
After confirming that Zhu Houzhao brought something that could prove his identity, Xie Zhicai said, "The first way is to use the jade deed in the hands of His Royal Highness to mobilize fifty percent of the soldiers and horses to seal the city gate, and send messengers to search in the city. ”
Xie Zhi's solution is to act vigorously and resolutely, and he can mobilize these yamen as the prince, which is not a joke.
Without the will of Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao acted without authorization, which was tantamount to rebellion.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned when he heard this, and asked after a while, "Xie Wu, can this work?" Isn't this a joke? ”
Of course, Xie Zhi also knew the consequences, and continued to reply, "The grass people know the consequences, and another way to do this is to go back to the palace to see Your Majesty, but in this way, it will delay time, not to mention whether the princess will suffer, if you take advantage of this time and be taken out of the city, it will be much more difficult to find the princess." ”
Although Zhu Houzhao quarrels with Zhu Xiurong from time to time, this brother is still very competent, and he also loves Zhu Xiurong very much.
Just hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, just use the first method, go to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to block the city gate, it's still early now, it's still early to close the city gate, if that gang of thieves sincerely wants to take Xiurong out of the palace, it's completely from this time." ”
Xie Zhi came out with Zhu Houzhao, and if he lost Zhu Xiurong, he couldn't stand by and watch, right?
Xie Zhi then echoed and said, "Since Your Highness has decided, the grass people are willing to advance and retreat with Your Highness." ”
Zhu Houzhao was interesting enough, and persuaded him, "Xie Wu, you still don't want to be with this palace, even if your father is guilty, he won't do anything to this palace, you still have to participate in the township test, if you haven't lost your anger by that day, won't you have to wait for three years?" ”
Xie Zhi spent a lot of effort to prepare for the autumn festival, but he couldn't do it when he encountered a problem and escaped.
"Your Highness, is the grass people that kind of person? This idea was made by the grass people, how could he let His Highness bear it, in this way, the grass people and His Highness went to the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses Division together, Qiu Ju, you go back to the palace first and report the news. ”
Qiu Ju is now even more of a six-god masterless, and will only listen to other people's orders.
After thanking him for the order, he replied, "Yes, the slave and maid will go back to the palace immediately." ”

After leaving Qiu Ju, Zhu Houzhao patted Xie Zhi's shoulder with a grateful face, and said, "Xie Wu, you are really interesting, don't worry, in front of your father, this palace will take the responsibility with all its might." ”
Xie Zhike really didn't believe this, just Zhu Houzhao, then when he saw Emperor Hongzhi, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he still took it all in?
"Your Highness, now not far from the Dongcheng Terracotta Division, I will first go to the Yamen of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division, borrow a fast horse from there, and then go to other cities, nine times out of ten, the gang of thieves is still in Dongcheng, and Dongcheng will be the target of the investigation."
Xie Zhi's arrangement was also reasonable, Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything more, and the two went directly to the Dongcheng Terracotta Division together.
Xie Zhi and they also have some fate with the Dongcheng Terracotta Division.
Outside the yamen, he directly took the jade deed and gave it to the messenger guarding the door.
"This palace is the current prince, and immediately ask your family commander to speak."
They didn't come to the Dongcheng Terracotta Division as guests, and once the problem was solved, there was no need to go in and walk again.
The messenger took the jade deed in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and he didn't know if he understood it, so he smiled and said, "Your Highness, wait a minute, the villain will immediately call the commander." ”
After a moment's effort, a person dressed in a six-grade military attache official came out.
Don't need Zhu Houzhao to take the jade deed, the person in front of him also knows Zhu Houzhao's identity.
At the beginning, he had a hundred households named Cao Lou, but Zhu Houzhao and Xie Zhi were arrested in the prison of his Soldiers and Horses.
Although he was not punished for this, the road to promotion was much more difficult.
"Commander Xiao," Zhu Houzhao shouted first.
"Chen Xiao just met His Highness."
Zhu Houzhao didn't drag his feet, and said, "It will be easier for Commander Xiao to know the identity of the palace, please Commander Xiao send someone to block the gate of the city under his jurisdiction, and immediately send a messenger out to find someone!" ”
As soon as Zhu Hou said this, Xiao Gang's smiling face became embarrassed, and he said, "If Your Highness wants to find someone, the minister can send a few messengers, but if the city gate is sealed, I am afraid that it will be Your Majesty's will." ”
The crown prince did not have a decree to supervise the state, but he could not seal the city gates.
Now that I am ignoring it, if my attitude is soft, it will be even more difficult to succeed.
Xie Zhi said directly and coldly, "I can tell you the truth, the person Your Highness is looking for is the princess, and the princess was lost in the eastern city under your jurisdiction, if the princess has a good one, you will wait to lose your head!" ”
Xie Zhi's words are really threatening, but they are also true.
Xiao Gang's face was full of panic, and he said, "Gongzi Xie, don't scare the officials." ”
Xie Zhiyi said righteously, and said with a serious face, "Who scared you, did you make this joke with you when you were idle and bored?" Tell you that the princess must be found as soon as possible."
Xiao Gang was frightened, Xie Zhicai softened his tone, and said, "Commander Xiao, a certain also knows your predicament, you first do what His Highness instructs, if Your Majesty is to blame, His Royal Highness and a certain burden, will never let Commander Xiao be embarrassed." ”
Xie Zhi's doubling played a role, and after hesitating for a long time, he said, "Okay, the lower official will do it according to His Royal Highness's instructions, and if His Majesty is to blame, I hope that His Royal Highness and Xie Gongzi will not let the lower official be a scapegoat." ”
If this Xiao Gang can really take on such a big matter, Xie Zhi wants him to be the scapegoat.
Regarding Xiao Gang's worries, Xie Zhi replied directly, "Don't worry, Commander Xiao, it's not your yamen's business to find the princess, and His Royal Highness has to send other soldiers and horses to block the city gate, and ask Xiao to ask Commander Xiao to borrow two fast horses."
Also, the princess was lost in Dongcheng, and the gang of thieves may still be left in Dongcheng, so please ask Xiao to command the envoy to be more careful. ”
