June Bingzi, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao rebelled.

On that day, it was King Ning's birthday, and at the banquet, he suddenly said: "The former filial piety temple was mistaken by the eunuch Li Guang, holding the sons of the people, and my ancestors did not eat blood for nine years!" Now the Queen Mother has a secret decree and orders the widow to send troops to seek revenge and uphold justice! ”

Of course, he couldn't take out the Empress Dowager's edict, but he took out a heterochromatic dragon note.

This stuff is enough to bluff people!

Although the imperial court issued a decree to change the blood of Jiangxi's high-level officials, but because of the thousands of miles, the officials who were to be transferred to Jiangxi also needed to be handed over before leaving.

Therefore, King Ning lit up the heterochromatic dragon note, and these people all bowed down and shouted long live.

And the governor of Jiangxi, the right deputy capital of Jiangxi, Sun Sui, and the deputy envoy of the Nanchang military garrison, Xu Kui, who stood up to rebuke King Ning for rebellion, were beheaded and sacrificed.

Yiying officials, who had never surrendered, were thrown into prison, and Senator Huang Hong and Ma Sicong, the head of the household department who had come to Jiangxi on an errand, committed suicide by hunger strike while in prison.

Subsequently, King Ning claimed to have led 100,000 troops, joined thousands of ships, and marched to Nanjing, in a vain attempt to occupy Nanjing and ascend the throne when the imperial court did not react.

He felt that half of the country was at his fingertips, but he didn't know that the news of his rebellion had already been quickly sent to Jiang Mian in Beijing by Jiang Sheng, the governor of Southern Jiangxi.

Jiang Mianhui, who had just been promoted to the Ministry of Rites for a long time, secretly reported to the emperor together with the second assistant Wang Hua.

After that, the cabinet quickly made arrangements and secretly ordered Jiang Yan and Gao Wenhu in southern Henan to join forces to go south.

As for Nanjing, Wang Shouren had already begun to lay out as early as when he received Shen Rui's letter, and dispatched troops and generals on the grounds of suppressing bandits in western Zhejiang and northern Fujian, and he was already close to Jiangxi at this time.

Jiang Sheng hurried to southern Gannan and, on the grounds of rectifying military affairs, contacted several guards to cut off the back road of the Ning Domain.

The net has been laid......

*

In fact, even if there was no advance warning, the news was sent to Beijing very quickly.

After several years of operation by Shen Rui, the Northland messaging network has become large-scale, and the transmission speed has been greatly improved.

At that time, the capital had just received a good news from the border gates.

In mid-June, the Tatars entered the border towns of Datong and Ningxia, but were killed and retreated by the defenders.

Ningxia General Military Officer Pan Hao, Commander Zhao Hongpei, and Datong General Military Officer Yang Ying led the troops to kill the enemy bravely, blocking the enemy outside the border wall, and the total number of beheadings in this battle was more than 300, nearly 100 prisoners, and a number of horses and utensils were captured. It can be regarded as a large number of big victories in recent years.

It was also a great victory for the imperial party.

Yang Ying and Pan Hao are both border generals, which is a normal performance, but Zhao Hongpei has performed brilliantly and has become a rising star.

In this battle, the intelligence work of the Siyi Pavilion was extremely complete, and when there was any change in the grassland, it immediately reported to the general army of various places to make preparations. The scale of this invasion is actually not large, the initial bluff of the enemy army, but also the secret agents of the Siyi Pavilion risked their lives to detect the reality of the enemy army, which provides an important reference for the formation of troops in various towns.

The newly improved artillery of the Ordnance Research Institute of Shanxi Wuxue shined in this battle, although it was bulky, it was a sharp weapon for defending the city on the city wall.

Siyi Pavilion has always been in charge of Pang Tianqing, and Cai Yu, who is in charge of Shanxi martial arts, plus Zhao Hongpei, are all young people promoted by the little emperor.

The military report also mentioned that Shen Hui, the political envoy of Shanxi, cooperated with Shen Hui to defend the city, saying that he actively lobbied the merchants of the horse market to prepare grain and grass, and also personally went to the city to boost morale.

Shen Rui couldn't help but slander when he saw the military newspaper, except that he was not injured, he almost picked it up according to Shen Xiu's Wu'an County Defending the City Meritorious Military Report.

However, in this battle, Shen Hui did take a credit, and the original secret report Shen Hui not only asked Shen Rui to listen to the sky, but also wisely handed over a copy to the Siyi Pavilion.

Siyi Pavilion also admitted that Shen Hui's credit was not lost when he reported the merit, but Shen Hui's origin of the news could not be clearly stated, so he could only refer to the model of Wu'an County to report to him for defending the city.

Of course, "defending" the city is not a lie, Shen Hui did stay in Datong honestly and did not escape.

In any case, Shen Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Sheng did not hide the fact that it was Shen Jun who sent the news of Ning Fan's rebellion, and Shen Hui here had the credit of sending secret reports and fighting against the enemy, at least Brother Xiaodong would not be too involved in the Zongfang when the incident happened.

Brother Shou was very satisfied with the performance of the central henchmen of this battle, and when he convened the important ministers to discuss the follow-up disposal of the border pass and the horse market, he even spoke a little louder, and he was extremely confident, which meant that if I drove the expedition in person, the results of the battle would be more brilliant.

Zhang Yong also boasted about the emperor's wisdom on the side, and then praised him from Siyi Pavilion to Li Ge Lao, from Shanxi Martial Arts Weapons Division to Yang Ge Lao, from Hubu to Wang Ge Lao...... Several elders let him praise it all over again.

Hearing this, Shen Ruizhang would hold back a laugh.

Several old adults were also a little embarrassed, but they stretched out their hands not to hit the smiling man, they originally wanted to kick Zhang Yong to the border, and it was not good to say anything at this time.

When rewarding the merits, several elders did not sweep the emperor's interest, and the emperor rewarded the emperor's party.

However, there are several differences on the policy of border customs and horse markets.

Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe believed that they should continue to expand the horse market trade, because the scale of this entry was much smaller than that of the same period in recent years, and the news from the Siyi Pavilion was also that some tribes refused to participate in the war because they were unwilling to destroy the horse market that had been opened with great difficulty.

Especially those tribes who are not strong enough but are good at raising cattle and sheep.

They followed the plundering in previous years, but because they were not descendants, and there were not many young and strong, they could share less of the booty.

And now trading with Daming is completely different.

Although there is a great drought this year, a lot of cattle and sheep have died, but for them, the clansmen slaughter cattle and sheep to eat meat, skin and shave and sell them to Daming, even if they can't exchange for grain and iron, it is cost-effective to change cloth and salt.

In particular, they found that there are some things that can't really be snatched.

For example, the veterinary medicine for the treatment of calf diarrhea passed down by Daming is really cheap and easy to use.

And this kind of medicine, I didn't want to grab it at the border gate, and I heard that even the herbs were only available further south.

Diarrhoea is a common disease in calves, with frequent and high mortality. For herders, one less calf is one more big cow in the future.

Who doesn't want to get more from Daming's horse market!

Although the attitude of these tribes did not influence the decisions of the royal court, it was always good to have fewer enemies.

It was Siyi Pavilion who was in charge of intelligence gathering, and it was Lantian who presided over the veterinary drug matter, and Li Dongyang naturally refused to shut down the horse market, and hoped that the horse market transaction would expand.

Yang Tinghe will not object even if he is directed at his son-in-law.

Liang Chu also acknowledged the importance of the horse market, but said that if the Tatars dared to offend the border, they must be punished.

is still open in the horse market, which will make the Tatars feel that whether they can rob the horse market or not, what does it matter if they rob it, and in the long run, they will fuel the arrogance of the enemy.

He thought that the horse market should be shut down for a while, so that the Tatars would know that it was powerful, and provoke the tribes who sought peace and those who liked to plunder to fight themselves.

And Wang Hua agreed to close the horse market, for reasons similar to Liang Chu, but not to stand with Liang Chu, but more to suppress Yang Yiqing, who was on the three sides of the general system.

For Wang Hua, Shen Rui can also understand, seeing that Wang Shouren will have a great contribution to counterinsurgency, he will definitely be able to go further, Wang Hua will not let Yang Yiqing, who also has a great contribution to counterinsurgency, add credit to Ma City and block his son's way.

There are also sides in the court, and there are different opinions, and the people are also discussing.

But most of the time it was rejoicing, and the victory over the Tartars was always a joy.

In the midst of joy, the news of Ning Fan's public rebellion arrived in Beijing.

Although the high-level officials of the court and the central government all knew the news, it was still unexpected that King Ning would use the banner of the queen mother, especially if there was really a heterochromatic dragon note!

It was rumored that it was originally "a heterochromatic dragon note, and gold was repaid", but from the emperor to the cabinet, they denied the existence of a heterochromatic dragon note.

At this time, someone muttered, where did this heterochromatic dragon note come from?

If it weren't for the Queen Mother's edict...... How can there be a heterochromatic dragon note?!

In this way, if it weren't for "raising people's sons", how could the queen mother issue a secret edict to deal with her son?

At this time, it suddenly began to be rumored on the street that the queen mother had wanted to adopt the little prince of Ning Fan, the prince of Zhao and other clans in the palace, but the emperor refused, and then the queen mother was grounded in the palace, and the concubine Niangniang, who was originally in charge of the palace affairs of the Zhang family, was also seized of power and entered the cold palace.

This word spread with a nose and eyes, and for a while, the rumors related to Zheng Wang's demon case were turned out again......

*

In the Yongsu Palace, the emperor convened the cabinet ministers and Zhang Yong, Zhang Hui, Shen Rui and others to discuss the rebellion.

"It's really him, and he has to make such a disgusting move before he runs." Brother Shou said coldly.

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.

The Queen Mother's message was not circulated outside at that time, and the cabinet also said that the matter had been taken care of.

Unexpectedly, Ning Fan was waiting here.

"The ministers on the street have already sent people to investigate, and those who are suspicious and discussful will all be arrested...... Zhang Hui said stubbornly, "The people over there have gone to hunt down ......."

Since the little prince of the Ning Domain entered Beijing, Zhang Hui has been sending Jinyi guards to keep an eye on it, especially after Jiang Sheng's secret report came up, he kept an eye on it even more closely.

As a result, when it was time to arrest someone, he found that including the "terminally ill" little son, Ning Fan's people in Beijing had disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Hui was almost angry, and scolded the heads of the next few stalls.

Those few people also felt wronged, they really stared at it, and they didn't know when people ran away. I searched the house when I went in, but I didn't find a secret passage, and I didn't find any suspicious vehicles, so I didn't know where to look for it.

Zhang Hui was under a lot of pressure and came to report it.

Brother Shou only snorted coldly and asked Shen Rui again.

Shen Rui still received the script of copying the house this time, and I am afraid that the bandit name "Shen copying the family" will not be able to be taken off for the rest of his life.

Liu Jin, who copied it last time, came to copy Qian Ning again in less than a year, they are all famous figures, and they are all huge wealth, Shen Rui couldn't help but joke to himself if he wanted him to collect all the records of Zhengde's traitors and corrupt officials.

In addition, there are also foreign officials like Zang Xian who have conclusive evidence and are bought by Ning Fan, and internal officials are also among the housekeepers.

"The minister has roughly examined it, these people just collect money to speak out for the rebels, not confidants, and they don't know the plan over there." Shen Rui replied. If these people had known, they would have run away a long time ago, and they would have waited to be caught.

"Dan Chen also found a clue and was about to ......" Shen Rui thought of a person from some internal officials.

Historically, the eunuchs in the early Zhengde period had "eight tigers", and in the later period, there were "three tigers".

These three do not include Zhang Yong, but Zhang Xiong, the master of ceremonies, Zhang Rui of Dongchang, and Zhang Zhong, the supervisor of the imperial horse.

In history, Zhang Zhong also accepted King Ning's generous gift to speak for him, and after King Ning rebelled, Zhang Zhong asked Wuzong to recruit in person, and then embarrassed Wang Shouren for merit - the bad idea of letting King Ning be caught by Wuzong again was made by this one.

Now, this Zhang Zhong has not yet shown his relationship with Ning Fan on the surface, but Shen Rui has always paid close attention.

Shen Rui really paid attention to him not because of Ning Fan, but because he had a brother in his hometown of Zhili Wen'an-Zhang Mao.

According to the history of the Ming Dynasty written by later generations, Zhang Zhong once introduced Zhang Mao, a Jiangyang thief, into the leopard room and played a game with Emperor Wuzong.

In fact, this Jiangyang thief is famous in history not for this keju, but for his subordinates:

Liu Liu, Liu Qi, Yang Hu.

That's right, it is Liu Liu, Liu Qi and Yang Hu in the famous uprising that swept several provinces during the Zhengde period in history.

Today's Zhengde has not had this civil uprising for six years, and these people are still doing Haoqiang in Wen'an. In order not to startle the snakes, Shen Rui did not exterminate them.

Judging from the current situation, those who have the ability to secretly get the little prince of Ning Fan and other people out of the capital and escort them back to Jiangxi for thousands of miles are the most suspicious.

While he was talking, Liu Zhong quietly came in and reported something to the little emperor.

Brother Shou's face was obviously gloomy, and he said coldly: "I didn't recruit them into the palace, who recruited them, who are they looking for, choose to kneel here at this time, who will kneel to?" ”

His gaze swept over the important ministers, and he did not shy away from saying, "Hou Jianchang of Shouning, Hou Tete knelt outside the hall when you were all there. ”

The elders looked at each other and made eye contact, and many of them showed disgust on their faces.

It's no wonder that everyone is disgusted, this family hasn't done a few good things.

And there are those who are present, and there are those who have a disagreement with it.

Li Ge Lao intended to marry his granddaughter to Shen Jin back then, but it didn't work out for various reasons, but he was made a son-in-law by the Zhang family, which also made Li Ge Lao quite uncomfortable;

Yang Gelao's daughter-in-law was pushed into the river by the daughter of the Zhang family and almost lost her life; This girl is now Shen Rui's wife, and the Shen family is a real enmity with the Zhang family.

However, the people inside do not care, but the people outside do not stop.

I only heard Zhang Heling's slightly old and mournful voice coming into the hall one after another: "Your Majesty, all the ministers and brothers have been blinded by lard for a while, and they have been deceived by traitors......

"I was thinking about the emperor wholeheartedly, but I screwed things up, and the minister confessed, but these have nothing to do with the queen mother......"

"The queen mother is the emperor's biological mother, the emperor should not hurt the mother-son relationship for outsiders, the emperor ......"

With his identity, not to mention the little chamberlains, even Liu Zhong couldn't go over and stop him from shouting.

In the hall, Brother Shou sneered and said to Liu Zhong: "Go and ask him, why is it for the sake of me to adopt the sect?" Did he decide that I wouldn't have flesh and blood? What did he do to be so sure? ”

But this is a curse.

Liu Zhong knelt down at that time, his forehead pressed against the ground, where did he dare to say this.

Even the cabinet ministers couldn't help but say: "The emperor is serious." ”

It was the first assistant Li Dongyang who stood up, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Shouning may have made a big mistake, but there is one sentence that is right, now, you can't hurt the mother-son relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor!" ”

King Ning was arguing over there that the emperor was a child who was raised, and the emperor here immediately made a move against the queen mother and uncle, isn't that just supporting others!

Now, even if you pretend to be a mother and son, you have to be filial!

Li Dongyang turned his head, but suddenly asked Shen Rui, "Shen Shilang thinks it's right?" ”

The matter of the mother and son of the heavenly family, the governor of Henan can't speak, but the waiter of the Ministry of Rites can.

Li Dongyang pointed to Shen Rui, of course, not only because of his position, but also because of the enmity between the Shen family and the Zhang family.

Li Dongyang is not disgusted with the Zhang family, but in his opinion, not only can the Zhang family not fall now, even if the Ning clan is flattened, it should not be liquidated immediately, so as not to emerge again which vassal king will follow the example and talk about this matter.

When you wait for three or five years, the country and the people are safe, and the four seas are peaceful, this rumor of "hugging" has been completely forgotten, and it is not too late to take care of it slowly.

Therefore, he just wanted to remind Shen Rui that for the sake of peace tomorrow, put aside the grudge first, and don't fall into the well.

This made Shen Rui quite unhappy. The generosity of one's own family is unwilling to take revenge, and being kidnapped by morality and forced not to take revenge is two different things.

Even if the Shen family turns over the grudge, they won't say it at this time to give you the righteous and strict Li Ge Lao to carry the sedan chair.

Therefore, he only said coldly: "The lower officials don't dare to discuss it." Mencius is humble and high, and he is also guilty. ”

Wang Hua immediately protected the apprentice grandson, took the words, and said: "The old minister is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the first assistant should ask the old minister, or ask Jiang Mian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Shen Rui's heart shook, his face was still tense, and he only cast a grateful glance at Shigong, Wang Hua's face softened, and he bowed his head slightly to indicate that he was not afraid.

Li Dongyang didn't seem to feel offended at all, so he asked Wang Hua: "Wang Ge thinks it's right?" ”

Wang Hua and his son were preparing to face King Ning in the south, and they didn't want to have any extraneous branches at this time.

He immediately saluted Brother Shou and said: "The affairs of the heavenly family should not be beaked, but the old minister said a few more words because of his age, and hoped that the emperor would think twice and give priority to state affairs first." ”

Brother Shou watched them fight back and forth coldly, and smiled sarcastically when he heard the words, but asked Li Dongyang, "Does the old gentleman have any clever ways to deepen the relationship between mother and son that can teach me?" ”

Li Dongyang took a deep breath and said: "Zhang Wei is rebellious, and now he is on the run, and the marriage with the Marquis of Jianchang Mansion will inevitably be abandoned, and the minister asks the Queen Mother and His Majesty to choose another good son-in-law for the Marquis of Jianchang's Mansion to marry." ”

It is easy to say that after accepting a bribe from Ning Fan, Ning Fan also gave gifts to his relatives when he entered Beijing, and it is normal for him to receive some gifts as an uncle.

As long as you resolutely deny the matter of speaking for Ning Fan, and then donate the money collected as military pay for the crusade against Ning Fan, this matter can be whitewashed.

But there is one incident, the eldest girl of the Marquis Mansion of Jianchang and Zhang Wei are engaged, everyone knows, after the news of Ning Fan's rebellion came, Zhang Wei and Ning Fan's people disappeared together.

Subsequently, it was Zhang Wei who pirated the seal and pretended to be in the name of Shen Li to write a letter to invite Taimiao Sixiang, the little son of Ning Domain, which was also revealed.

That Zhang Lian is a party of rebels, and the evidence is conclusive.

The Marquis of Jianchang's Mansion was a pro with great fanfare, so as to show his ability, and he had Tanhualang as his son-in-law, so it would be difficult to completely clear the charge of rebellion against the clan at this time.

But if the emperor and the queen mother gave marriage to the Marquis of Jianchang, it means that the Marquis of Jianchang was deceived at the beginning, and the royal family did not blame it, so it was not a rebellious domain.

And the emperor and the queen mother gave marriage to the queen mother's niece together, and also said that the mother and son of the heavenly family have a very strong relationship and strive to break the rumors.

Shen Rui couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, the idea is a good idea, but if anyone gets involved in this marriage, it will really be bad for eight lifetimes, and it is still a marriage given by the emperor, and he can't resist and disobey the will.

He couldn't help but think of Shen Jin, the unlucky bastard, who was also married by the Queen Mother.

Thinking of the Zhang family's calculation of the Shen family, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and almost wanted to ridicule Li Dongyang, you don't know that it hurts if the knife didn't pierce you? ! This kind of bad idea hurts people!

No, Li Dongyang said: "The old minister wants to marry the daughter of the Marquis of Jianchang for the grandson of the Kong family." ”

Everyone present was shocked.

Li Dongyang's grandson? The Kong family? Is that...... Yansheng Mansion!!

Outsiders really have to say that if it weren't for his nephew and uncle, the emperor would not have taken the two Buddhas of Shoufu and Nayan Shenggong as a guarantee for the Zhang family, who else would move the Zhang family!

Shen Rui was secretly ashamed at first, but fortunately he didn't really ridicule it.

But then I remembered that Li Dongyang's daughter who married the current Yansheng Gong Kong Wenshao had died, and he had no heirs, where did he come from? !

At that time, Shen Rui was still participating in politics in Shandong, because it was a white matter of the Yansheng Mansion, and there was no cabinet old daughter, and the local officials gave face to mourn.

Shen Rui also came to the memorial in person, I remember hearing someone say that because the couple has no heirs, not even concubines, and it involves the inheritance of the Duke of Yansheng, so the position of the filial son in front of the spirit is rather empty......

It's not that no one knows about this matter, and they all have courtesy and exchanges at the beginning.

Or Fei Hong asked, "I don't know which grandson of the elder is it?" "He used to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and because of the different status of the Yan Shenggong Mansion, the Li family's Baishi Rite Department also sent people.

Li Dongyang's face did not change, and he said indifferently: "The Confucian family is also the grandson of the old minister, so I want to make the decision for him to set the daughter of the Marquis of Jianchang." ”

In theory, Li Dongyang is willing to sacrifice his reputation to protect the Marquis of Jianchang at this time, in order to stabilize public opinion and ensure the stability of the emperor's dragon chair.

It's just that because it is not the flesh and blood of the relatives in the end, and Kong Wenshao has not yet renewed the strings, this grandson is even more impossible to talk about, and the daughter of the Zhang family is also vague, as long as the Marquis of Jianchang can still give birth, this "daughter" may not refer to which.

Therefore, this marriage contract is just an empty word, more like a politician's trick to deceive the spectators.

At this moment, Shen Rui only felt extremely bored.

Seeing that everyone was thinking about it, and Brother Shou was watching the show with a mocking face, Shen Rui cleared his throat slightly, and saluted forward: "The minister's position is low, so he shouldn't listen to this." The previous minister got a clue when he was interrogating the criminal, and now he asks the emperor Xu Chenhui to go out of the city with Jinyiwei to hunt down the rebel remnants. ”

Brother Shou immediately accepted the expression, pondered for a moment, and asked Shen Rui with a straight face, "What is your uncle doing now?" He was originally the priest of the Nanjing Guozi, and now there is one less speaker on the day of the feast here in the Hanlin Academy......"

The Japanese lecturer is an errand that all Hanlin dreams of, how many people break their heads to grab it, where will there be "one less".

Moreover, Brother Shou...... But I haven't had a sutra feast in years.

Shen Rui knew that Brother Shou was here to appease himself, so he couldn't help sighing, and after saluting solemnly, he said solemnly: "I am loved by the emperor, however, Uncle Chen is deeply sorry that he failed to train his eldest brother to become a jinshi, so he is determined to teach and educate people." ”

He said that he wanted to cultivate more usable people for the Ming Dynasty, either jinshi, lifting people, shepherding one side, or skilled craftsmen, and skilled healers, which could benefit the people of a place."

"My uncle taught his ministers that the Shen family is only a loyal minister, and only does things for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty and the people. I also asked the emperor to fulfill his uncle's ambition. ”

This statement is sonorous and powerful.

Brother Shou's face softened completely, sighed, and nodded seriously: "The Shen family is full of loyalty, I know everything." ”

He paused, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "Shen Rui, you are allowed to join Jinyiwei to go out of the city to hunt down the traitors." In addition, send you and Zhao Hongze, the vanguard of the leading army, as an outpost, to Nanjing. Zhang Yong and Zhu Hui, the governor of Zuo, led their troops to Jiangxi and rebelled against the nest of the domain. The rest is according to what Zhu Qing has previously discussed. ”

He stood with his head held high, and announced loudly: "I am the commander of the six divisions, and I will conquer the heavens!" ”

"Your Majesty!" As soon as Brother Shou's words fell, several pavilion elders dissuaded him together.

Only then did he dispel the idea of going to the north to conquer the northern captives, why did he think of the rebellion again?!

Brother Shou's face sank, "What's the matter, going to the border and Zhuqing said that it was dangerous, and I was not allowed to go, but now I am going to the south, it is not dangerous!" ”

Li Dongyang persuaded: "Although heavy troops have been arranged, there are a lot of spies in the Ranning Domain, if there are murderers on the road, they will hurt people......"

Brother Shou said directly: "There is Zhang Hui." ”

Zhang Hui had no choice but to say: "Jinyi Wei must protect His Majesty even if he dies......"

Wang Hua, who was in charge of the household department, persuaded again: "How much national money is spent on the expropriation of thousands of miles, and the local government will welcome it, and it will inevitably cost the people and money......

Brother Shou sneered, nodded and called Liu Zhong: "Go, you go and ask the two uncles who are kneeling outside, and say that their nephews want to drive the royal conscription, and there is still a shortage of military salaries, and ask them if they are willing to make up for one or two?" ”

After saying that, he turned his head and smiled at everyone, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, but his eyes flashed with essence, and he said almost word by word: "I, I want to drive the expedition in person." ”

*

With money, it is easy to do things.

After copying a rebel family and a lair of thieves who had been in trouble for many years, the treasury and the treasury were once again abundant.

And the relatives of the Zhang family expressed their support for the rebellion of their nephews, and the expenses of the Hou Mansion of Shouning and the Hou Mansion of Jianchang were covered.

——This also proves from another direction that the idea of hugging and raising is pure nonsense, and the Zhang family has never colluded with the rebels.

Therefore, the food, grass, ordnance, and military supplies for this expedition were purchased very quickly.

Brother Shou was extremely impatient, and he couldn't wait, and he didn't care about the cumbersome etiquette of the Ministry of Rites flipping through the old calendar to manage the Son of Heaven's personal conquest, so he directly issued an order to let "Zhu Shou, the Governor of Military Affairs, the Mighty General, the Chief Soldier, the Governor of the Army, the Taishi Town, the Guogong of the Governor's Mansion" - that is, himself, lead the armies and attack the rebels.

On the sixth day of the seventh month, the army was sent south.

At this time, Shen Rui and his entourage, as the vanguard officer of the outpost, had already entered the boundary of Shandong.

When Zhang Mao and his gang were exterminated in Wen'an County, Bazhou, Shen Rui discovered that they were indeed a secret move planted by Ning Fan.

Mr. Li, who was in charge of Ning Fan's affairs in the capital, originally planned to wait for King Ning to wave his army north, but this gang of bandits directly attacked the Beijing division and caused chaos to respond to King Ning, and did not want King Ning's side to make a move to let King Ning go to Nanjing to ascend the throne nearby.

These people in the north, including the little prince who was most loved by King Ning in the legend, became outcasts.

Mr. Xiao Li would sit still and wait for death, so he activated this ringing horse.

The horses smuggled them out in a mezzanine food and rice delivery vehicle, ready to escort them to Nanjing to meet King Ning.

Because Zhang Zhong was not arrested and exposed, Zhang Mao had no fear, thinking that he couldn't find himself at all, so he only let his subordinates Liu Liu, Liu Qi and others escort people away, and his family did not follow, so it fell into the hands of Shen Rui.

Liu Liu and Liu Qi have been running for a long time, but they are afraid that they have gone out of the border of Beizhili.

Shen Rui reported to Beijing and asked Liu Zhong to quickly arrest Zhang Zhong and his party, because he was in charge of the imperial horse prison, so as not to make a bigger mess.

On the one hand, he sent an urgent letter to Wan Dongjiang and Tian Shun, asking them to mobilize all the black and white connections, carefully investigate all parts of Shandong and Henan, and be sure to arrest this group of people.

Because the army took a boat to walk through the canal, it was not Jinan Mansion, although Linqing was not far from Jinan Mansion, although Shen Rui had not seen his wife for nearly a year, and he had never seen his son, but with the military order, he had to pass through the house and not enter.

He has written to Yang Tian, asking her not to go to Beijing to do her sister's family affairs for the time being.

Because of the royal driving family, You Ma and You Xuan had to follow him, and this marriage could only be postponed again.

At the same time, Shen Rui told Yang Tian about Shen Zhou's arrangements for Brother Xiao Nan, and asked her to tell the He family and son that when the war in the south was over, he would send someone to pick them up, go back to Songjiang Mansion together, and go to the family tree for the child.

Yang Tian replied that the He family originally only said that Shen Zhou would not succeed Brother Xiao Nan, and seeing that Brother Xiao Nan was getting older day by day, and he was getting closer and closer to the boy test, He couldn't help but be anxious.

It's just that it's not easy to mention this to Yang Tian, and secretly feels that with the affection of Yang Tian's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Xu family, she will not make it difficult for her, and she can always give the name of a side branch of the Shen family, so that the child will not be unable to play.

I didn't expect Shen Zhou to have such an arrangement.

He was pleasantly surprised, crying like a tearful person, and took Brother Xiao Nan to kowtow in the direction of the capital.

Shen Rui was also embarrassed when he read the letter.

I didn't say anything all the way, and soon entered Yanzhou Mansion.

The prefect Ding Huanzhi is extremely qualified, and he has prepared the supplies of the labor army early and is waiting for Shen Rui at the ferry.

However, Shen Rui didn't wait to listen to Ding Huanzhi's report on the military situation in the south and the local people's livelihood, and first followed the urgent letter from Shunfeng Marker.

In the Shen clan of Songjiang Mansion, something happened!
