"Okay, Hongu knows." Zhu Houzhao nodded, looking noncommittal.

"Let's talk about something when your master arrives!" After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for Fuyangzi to retreat.

Fu Yangzi didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly saluted and withdrew.

Zhu Houzhao turned his head to look at Tang Bohu, and then asked, "Aiqing, do you know this Zhang Jingding?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the minister knows something." Tang Bohu introduced: "A native of Yuhang, Zhejiang, formerly known as Zongren, has been a Confucian for generations, and is proficient in the study of sexual reason. During the Yongle period, he held the Ming scriptures, lived in seclusion, and lectured in Tiaoxi. After the death of both parents, he abandoned his home and traveled to visit the masters. After traveling to Qingcheng Mountain, I saw Zhou Yuanpu, admired his noble morality, and then taught him, and still lived in seclusion on the rooftop. ”

"In the first year of Jingtai, Zhou Yuanpu sent his disciples to summon Jingding to Qingcheng and awarded the Longmen Great Ring, which was the fifth generation of Longmen grandmasters."

Zhu Houzhao listened to Tang Bohu's introduction and nodded lightly. He didn't ask Tang Bohu why he knew, nor did he ask why Fuyangzi would find Tang Bohu. Some things don't have to be so clear.

Standing up and stretching, Zhu Houzhao turned his head and said to Tang Bohu beside him: "Follow the palace out for a walk?" ”

"Your Highness has an order, and the minister is naturally happy." Tang Bohu said with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and instructed Liu Jin: "Go, bring Zhang He to the palace." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Jin agreed, then turned around and walked outside.

It didn't take long for Zhang He to walk in from outside, his armor rattling on his body.

He bowed down to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Minister Zhang He see His Highness." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said directly: "Order all the people and follow the palace out." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhang He naturally didn't dare to slack off, Zhu Houzhao's words were holy decrees here in Heilongwei.

Zhang He turned around and went out.

Zhu Houzhao also began to change clothes, put on armor, put on a helmet, pressed the long knife, and then nodded with satisfaction, this feeling is really good.

turned over his tall horse, Zhu Houzhao directly ordered: "Let's go!" After saying that, he led the rumbling horses and went away.

Heilongwei left Guyuan, and this matter naturally couldn't be hidden, and at the same time, it frightened many people.

Last time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just sent someone to arrest people, but there was such a big movement in the northwest, and this time it was all the Black Dragon Guards who went out, how much movement did this have to make?

So everyone began to speculate, but no one knew what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did.

The news soon reached the ears of He Jian, the governor of the three sides, and he was also helpless, and at the same time smiled bitterly.

He sent someone to inquire about Wang Shouren, a confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but Wang Shouren did not know.

He Jian was very helpless, and at the same time ordered to go down, and reported the whereabouts of the prince immediately when he found out. That's more than 10,000 Black Dragon Guards, no matter where they go, they can't move, and He Jian still doesn't believe that they can disappear.

Where did Zhu Houzhao go?

The answer is very simple, Zhu Houzhao went to Gansu, one of the nine military towns in Gansu Town.

"My lord, my lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down."

The master of Gansu Governor Zhou Jilin ran in quickly, with a look of shock and nervousness on his face, and of course, a little excitement.

Zhou Jilin stood up abruptly and asked in disbelief, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down?" ”

"Yes." Master Zhou Chang nodded hurriedly and said.

Zhou Jilin is not as happy as Zhou Chang.

Why is Zhou Chang happy, Zhou Jilin knows, like he has been a governor in Gansu for two years, and it is time to move places. But where to go, that's the question.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be more and more authoritative over the years, and once he is liked by His Royal Highness the Prince, then this time he may be able to make a big difference.

But Zhou Jilin didn't think so, he was very worried now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so easy to stammer?

Looking at what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done over the years, you don't just want to say something nice if you want to talk to His Royal Highness the Prince.

Besides, who is His Royal Highness the Prince? That's a killing god, he's here, I don't know why. From Guyuan to Zhangye, this is not a good place, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not come over if he is fine.

"Your Excellency, what are you?" Master Zhou Chang looked at Zhou Jilin's appearance and asked with a little hesitation.

"Forget it, when will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrive?" Zhou Jilin looked at Zhou Chang and asked.

It's useless to think about anything now, even if you don't want to, can you stop the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

The answer is no. Since you can't stop it, then you can only greet it obediently and try your best to please it. Zhou Jilin is very clear about this.

"The messenger will be there in a few hours." Zhou Chang said a little eagerly: "My lord, there is not much time left for us!" ”

Zhou Jilin glanced at Zhou Chang and said angrily: "Hurry up, hurry up and prepare." ”

Gently raising the horsewhip in his hand, the black dragon guard behind Zhu Houzhao slowly stopped, and there was no other sound except for the snort sound made by the war horse.

Zhu Hou looked at the city in front of him, and his heart was slightly complicated. This is Zhangye, Shaanxi Xingdu Division and Gansu Town.

Zhang Ye is a place, Zhu Houzhao has heard of it countless times in his previous life, but it is the first time he has come to Zhangye.

Zhou Jilin and his entourage stood in place and waited, and when they saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looking at the Zhangye City Gate in front of them, they didn't know what they were thinking.

"Let's set up camp!" Zhu Houzhao turned over and dismounted, and then said to Zhang He behind him: "Take someone into the city with the palace." ”

The group entered Zhangye, Zhu Houzhao looked around from time to time, and the others didn't find much, but the soldiers guarding the city in Zhangye were good, they looked very good, not thin, and not decadent, which was already good in these places in the northwest.

After entering the city, Zhou Jilin took hundreds of civil and military officials to see Zhu Houzhao.

His gaze swept over everyone's faces, and Zhu Hou looked at a person wearing armor, who was none other than Zhou Zhan, the chief soldier of Gansu.

He was in his forties, with a big beard, and his whole person looked very serious, with bright eyes and a dark face.

After looking Zhou Zhan up and down, Zhu Houzhao asked directly: "Zhou Zhan, are there any military families in Gansu who have escaped?" ”

Running away from households, this is a problem that cannot be bypassed in the northwest, especially the military households in the northwest, which is definitely the most serious place in the Ming Dynasty.

Their living conditions are poor, they are oppressed by officers, they are not well fed, they are not warmly clothed, they are at the bottom of society, life is worse than death, so they simply flee.

This situation is very common in the northwest, otherwise where did those displaced people in the Zhongnan Mountains come from? Where did the homeless people of Jingxiang come from?

Zhu Houzhao knew all this, he just wanted to see what Zhou Zhan said.
