Chapter 603: Fate

"Uncle don't want to flatten people through the cracks in the door, this idea is what I came up with!"

"Okay, you came up with it, it's your job to curb Uzhna's clan, but you have to guarantee me your safety!"

Zhu Di patted his chest and said: "Uncle, don't worry, Juyong Pass is my father-in-law's army, who dares to come over and touch his moldy head, even if he doesn't need to make a move, just me, the palace guard, can beat the enemy in the future, hehe...... Eight thousand! ”

Yes, the palace guards of a full 8,000 people, the three kings of Qin, Jin, and Yan had the strongest military strength during the Hongwu period, and the other princes were only 5,000 at most.

Among the elite of the 8,000 army, twenty percent of the men and horses are equipped with firearms, and wherever they are placed, they are an extremely strong military force, and it is enough to destroy a small country.

The prince's guard of honor and the palace guards boarded the ship one after another, and one after another sailed past the dock, and the chief historian and hundred officials of the palace also went outside the shed to ask Zhu Di to board the ship.

Zhu Di got up and said to Ma Du: "My nephew is gone, please take care of my uncle!" ”

"Congratulations to Your Highness!" Ma Du got up and arched his hand, "If Your Highness encounters a battle formation, don't just rely on a courage to kill, it's better to live well than anything else, and so is you, I don't want Xiao Yu'er to be a widow." ”

"Don't worry, big brother, I must live well, otherwise I won't be worthy of my name." Ping An said goodbye, turned around and followed Zhu Di onto the trestle.

Zhang Wuliu wiped the sweat on his head and said: "Hou Ye is strangely hot, let's go back quickly!" ”

"What's the hurry, it seems that Master Hou and I'm not hot! Madame got on which boat just now, can you see it? ”

Zhang Wuliu put his hands on the pergola, "It's like the one at the front!" ”

Madu took out the monoculars, swept around the fleet and did not see the shadow of Uzhna, and was about to collect the telescope but a black monk's robe flashed in his sight, but when he looked again, he was gone.

Ma Du rubbed his eyes and said, "It must be me who is dazzled!" Although Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao are in the same academy, the two have almost no contact, and Yao Guangxiao has never said that Zhu Di is extraordinary and can wear a white hat, it is unlikely that the two will get together again, and Yao Guangxiao will not say goodbye.

Leaving the dock, I took the car to Xu's house to pick up Xiao Yu'er and went back to the countryside, as soon as I entered the gatehouse, Lao Sun handed over a letter, "Master Hou, this is the monk who teaches in the academy and asked the villain to pass it on to you." ”

Ma Du's heart jumped, and he had a bad premonition at the moment, and he couldn't wait to open the envelope, and after reading it at a glance, he couldn't help but slap his thigh, and said secretly: "The wheel of history is really not easy to change!" ”

Zhu Di is not terrible, although he has soldiers and horses in his hands and is good at fighting, there are still 108,000 miles from his ambition to rebellion. The terrible thing is that there is a spiritual mentor to guide him to the road to supreme power, Lao Zhu's mentor is Li Shanchang, and Zhu Di's mentor is Yao Guangxiao.

The inertia of history has tied the pair of monarchs and ministers together, and I don't know if there will be a martyrdom in the future, Ma Du annoyed Yao Guangxiao's resignation into a ball, he can't care so much, anyway, Lao Tzu had already run away at that time.

Who knew that the more annoying thing was still to come, and in the middle of the afternoon, I suddenly found that Bi Lin was missing, which made the family anxious. Ma Du mobilized the entire family's servants, guards, villagers, and even the students who stayed in the academy to search around Fangshan.

Song Shuang didn't care about the appearance of the marquise, and rode a horse with Ma Du for ten miles, but there was still no trace of Bi Lin. When he returned to the Hou Mansion, he jumped twice without waiting for the horse to be stable, and when he saw Xu Xiaopei and the old loach guarding the gatehouse, he opened his mouth and asked, "Can you find the child?" ”

"No, it's no wonder that I patronize and enjoy Qingfu and don't take good care of the child!" The old loach squatted on the ground in pain with his head in his hands.

Xu Xiaopei comforted on the side, "Sister Shuang, don't worry, Bi Lin is usually a little naughty, I don't know where to hide, play hide and seek with us." ”

Song Shuang listened to the persuasion at this time, and said with tears in her eyes: "This child is a little naughty, but he has never run far, at most he goes to the barren beach to follow Wu Rina to herd sheep, where can he go!" ”

She turned around and pounded Madu's shoulder, "If my Bilin is abducted by the traffickers, I'm not done with you!" ”

Ma Du, who had been frowning sadly, suddenly raised his eyebrows, grabbed her arm and ordered Lao Liu: "Lao Liu immediately rushed to Yangzhou with the escort fast horse to intercept King Yan's northbound fleet, and Bi Lin Bacheng was there!" ”

When she set off from home today, Uzhna consciously or unintentionally protected her salute, and did not forget to carry her salute before boarding the boat.

She was so nervous, and she only changed a few sets of clothes a year, and suddenly paid so much attention to salutation, Ma Du felt strange at the time, and now she finally knew what the problem was.

Lao Liu rushed to Yangzhou with the guards that night, and Ma Du couldn't put all the treasures on Wu Rina, so he handed a post to Ying Tianfu and the surrounding prefectures and counties on the same day to ask them to investigate strictly, and the matter didn't know how to spread to Lao Zhu's ears, and also sent Jinyi Wei to help search, anyway, Yingtian's city fox society rats were not less unlucky.

The next time was like suffering in hell, except for Song Shuang who cried twice from time to time, no one in the house dared to pant loudly.

More than two days passed like this, until Lao Liu rushed into the mansion and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Master Hou! Miss found it, and sure enough, she was with the second lady! ”

Ma Du's originally tense body immediately slumped in his chair, feeling more tired than fighting for two days in a row.

Song Shuang roared like a frenzied lioness, "This Tartar woman actually abducted the noble daughter of the Hou Mansion, and when she comes back from the grassland, I will see that I don't have the law to deal with her!" What about Bilin, bring her here, this girl should take care of it, see if I don't suck her ass today. As he spoke, he copied a feather duster in his hand.

Lao Liu was embarrassed, "I'm really sorry for Madame, Miss is still with the second lady, the little one can't be brought back, and I ask Mrs. to punish me!" ”

"Why, you guys who are in the fire with knives can't control a woman!"

Lao Liu said with a bitter face: "Naturally, we were restrained by the prince's guards in a blink of an eye, and the prince said that he wanted to take the young lady to Beiping to play, and the villain had to leave the other guards to take care of the young lady, and he came back to report to the Hou Ye and his wife." ”

Ma Du couldn't wait to get out a mouthful of old blood, what good things could two lawless people do when they got together, he could probably imagine that his daughter was wearing a small armor, holding a wooden sword, riding a little donkey and following Zhu Di's side, shouting in a milky voice, "Kill!" ”

No, such a thing must not happen, Ma Du immediately rushed to the palace the next day to ask for an order, I believe that except for Lao Zhu and Ma Dajiao, no one can cure Zhu Di.

originally thought that Lao Zhu would be ashamed of his son's actions, but after he knew Ma Du's intention, he immediately scolded Ma Du with his head and face.

"This fart is a big thing, you are embarrassed to come to the palace to ask for an order, so I don't have to do anything every day. According to my intentions, it would be good to let the wild girl go to the grassland to suffer a little.

Just like Jiujiang, I went to my hometown and went to the country of Wa, I heard that now it is horizontal and rushing, and I don't blink an eye when I kill people, Siben is overjoyed by this, and he has been sent to Beiping for training. ”

Boy! The three bears got together again? Coupled with Bi Lin, maybe she can really poke a hole in the sky.

"Then Weichen won't disturb the emperor's official business, so he will retire and go to Kunning Palace to visit Niangniang."

"Don't go to Kunning Palace to ask the queen's edict, the queen is showing the princess to the old five ministers today, and I don't have time to deal with you. Don't go to the East Palace, hurry up! ”

Lao Zhu waved his sleeves impatiently and opened a secret fold on the table, while Yuan Sheng was a very dog-legged person, "Uncle Guo, please!" ”

Ma Du sighed helplessly, it seems that this matter can only be turned back and find a chance to talk to Ma Dajia, he just crossed the threshold when he heard Lao Zhu shout angrily, "What a big boldness, the little county magistrate dared to seize military funds, and the edict Jinyiwei immediately went to Penghu and cut off this Daotong's head!" ”

Ma Du's body couldn't help but stiffen, and he turned his head suddenly, only to see that Yuansheng had come over in a hurry, needless to say that Bacheng was going to Jinyiwei to pass the decree, he hurriedly pulled Yuansheng's sleeve, "Father-in-law stay for the time being!" ”

He re-entered the palace, walked to the front of the imperial case and said to Lao Zhu: "I don't know what made the emperor so angry!" ”

Lao Zhu's face turned pale, "These officials really read the books of sages in vain, and they did it without reason, and they even dared to seize military funds, you can see for yourself!" ”

He raised his hand and threw the secret fold in his hand to Ma Du's feet, Ma Du picked it up and quickly browsed it, and it turned out that Zhu Liangzu, the Marquis of Yongjia, impeached Penghu Zhixian Daotong and seized the secret fold of military funds.

No wonder Lao Zhu is so angry, he cares most about two things, one is military affairs, and the other is agricultural affairs, military affairs can protect the country, and agricultural affairs can calm the world.

Lao Zhu himself is a farmer in his bones, and the most private visits he goes out of the palace are summer harvest and autumn harvest, and he can often be seen in the fields.

He attaches great importance to military affairs, and there are not a few magistrates who have lost their heads because of the crime of "not being good at treating their teachers", and the magistrates who have seized military funds have not yet passed, and as long as Lao Zhu appears, he will definitely be eaten alive.

"Yuan Sheng is still stunned for what to do, why don't you go to Jinyiwei to pass the decree!" Lao Zhu slapped the table angrily, and Ma Du could clearly see the bulging green tendons on his forehead, which showed how angry he was.

Ma Du was puzzled, Daotong and Zhu Liangzu, the destined enemies, obviously one was in Guangdong and the other was in Penghu, how could they intersect again.

"The emperor is not in a hurry, you only need to kill the head of a county magistrate with just a letter of Zhu Liangzu's recital, Weichen feels that it is too arbitrary, it is better to take it to Beijing and hand it over to the judicial department for trial......"

Without waiting for Ma Du to finish speaking, Lao Zhu said: "Xuan Chongzhen knows that you and Zhu Liangzu don't deal with each other, but you can't jump out and oppose it just because it's his performance." Although Zhu Liangzu has illegal things in Guangdong, Yu is still very concerned about military affairs and will not use such a big thing to coax me.

Yuan Sheng didn't hurry up and went to Jinyiwei to inform Han Cheng and asked him to send someone to Penghu immediately. I want these officials to know that if anyone doesn't take my country seriously, I don't take their heads seriously! ”

Lao Zhu said this almost through gritted teeth, which shows how much he hates the seizure of military funds.

Seeing that Yuansheng had already left the palace, Ma Du became more and more anxious, "The emperor is clear when he listens, it is really unfair to rely on the words of Zhu Liangzu's family." Weichen had some contact with Daotong when he was in Penghu, and knew that he was an upright person, even if there must be another reason for the seizure of military funds, maybe his recital was already on the way, so it was better to listen to what he said before making a decision! ”

In history, Dao and this unlucky guy and Zhu Liangzu were on the table together and impeached each other, but Zhu Liangzu, as a noble and a general in the army, went 800 miles in an expedited manner, and the same small county could only take ordinary channels.

When his performance was in Lao Zhu's hands, the Jinyi guard who killed him was already on the way, and it was too late for Lao Zhu to send someone to chase him, but it was a pity that he was wrongfully killed by a good official who was just and upright.

Ma Du's exhortation didn't have the slightest effect, Lao Zhu instead slapped the table and stood up, glaring at Ma Du angrily, "No matter what reason this Penghu magistrate has, a magistrate is not qualified to seize military funds!" You are also on the errand of the city department and the navy, and you can't get rid of your responsibilities when it comes to it! ”

I really didn't expect Lao Zhu to suddenly turn the spearhead to himself, Ma Du felt that he had been wronged to death, although the city and the navy were in Penghu, but that Dao was also the Penghu prefect Ma Du and not the Zhangzhou prefect, not to mention the prince who was really in charge of the city, and the person in charge of the navy was your Lao Zhu, it was really unreasonable to put the blame on Ma Du's head.

At this time, Lao Zhu was obviously on the verge of going berserk, and it was useless to say anything to him, the only thing he could do was to bow his head and admit his mistakes.

Ma Du lifted his hem and knelt in front of the dragon case, "Weichen is guilty, please punish the emperor!" ”

"Humph! Kneel! Lao Zhu snorted and stopped talking, picked up the tea bowl and leaned on the dragon chair to dissipate his anger.

The stone slab in the hall was cold and hard, so that Ma Du's knees hurt, and he felt that he couldn't hold on in less than half a pillar of incense, looking at Ma Du's uneasy appearance, Lao Zhu was still mocking on the side, "It's only a little older and I can't hold on, fortunately, you didn't participate in my ascent ceremony, and your knees will be wasted after kneeling for a few hours." ”

Lao Zhu's ability to ridicule people means that his anger is almost gone, if he dares to talk back at this time, it will be a waste of his previous efforts, and he will only be punished more heavily, and it is the best choice to ignore his words.

After another half of the tea time, Lao Zhu tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Forget it, get up!" ”

As expected, Ma Du got up and saw a little eunuch holding a book and entering the hall, "Your Majesty, this is just sent by someone from the Ministry of War, saying that it is a secret piece from Penghu from the navy!" ”
