The next day, Zhu Cihong found Shi Kefa and asked Shi Kefa to send 200 people to escort the Jin merchants to Beijing for trial. Shi Kefa led the remaining more than 2,500 people with combat capability to rush to Zhangjiakou to assist Liu Chengye and intercept the grain and grass of the Jin merchants.

Although Shi Kefa admired Zhu Cihong and dragged Yang Yiqing and others with his own strength, but he fought in turns, although he didn't dare to be called the first in the Ming Dynasty, how could the top three be ranked.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, your orders are under forgiveness. The emperor only ordered General Ben to come to Shanxi to arrest the Jin merchants and confiscate the assets. Zai Xia has already arrested all the Jin merchants, and Xia should escort the Jin merchants back to the palace, instead of going to Zhangjiakou to assist Liu Chengye. ”

Zhu Cihong knew that in order to preserve his strength, Shi Kefa did not want to go to Zhangjiakou to assist Liu Chengye. This is also human nature, I am not related to you, why should I risk resisting the decree to help you? After helping you, the credit is yours, not to mention the loss of your own troops, you can't even get a little good, so a fool will go! It's okay that it happened, but if the grain and grass were not intercepted, the saint would blame him, and he would have to be implicated.

Zhu Cihong persuaded: "General Shi, this time Shanxi captured the Jin merchants, and there were only 400 Tartars, which caused our department to suffer heavy losses. Zhangjiakou will only receive more tartars than here, not less than here. General Shi felt that Liu Chengye had a chance of winning, so he left this batch of grain and grass in my Daming. ”

Shi Kefa smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too worried. Commander Liu's Jinyi Guard, each of them is a good hand that can fight one against ten, and this time only intercepting grain and grass is a breeze for Commander Liu. ”

Zhu Cihong glanced at Shi Kefa, and said angrily: "Don't bring a top hat to Commander Liu, now that the Jin merchants have been copied, the Jin people are afraid that they have already gotten the news, and the Tartars who will respond this time will only be more, not less." If Commander Liu fails to intercept the grain and grass this time, the Jin people can send troops south with this batch of grain and grass, and then my people of the Ming Dynasty will have to suffer from the war. I, the border sergeant of the Ming Dynasty, how will I deal with the tartars with plenty of food and grass. ”

"It's... If the Tartars dare to go south, they should let those Tartars have no return. ”

"Since General Shi has already had the intention of killing the enemy and serving the country, why not take this opportunity to send troops to Zhangjiakou to assist Liu Chengye in intercepting grain and grass."

Shi Kefa fell into deep thought, there was no way for Zhu Cihong to block his back road tightly. Aren't you a Tartar who dares to go south, and who has no return? Now that the opportunity is in front of you, you are on it.

"The Holy Lord did not order to go to Zhangjiakou in the next, and acted rashly in the next, and when the time comes, the Holy Lord will blame him, and I am afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk around." Shi Kefa simply pushed the problem onto Chongzhen, asking me to send troops without the emperor's order, and send troops without authorization, and when the time comes, the saint will blame him, and he will be done.

Zhu Cihong saw that Shi Kefa was about to be persuaded by himself, so he added a fire. "As the saying goes, there will be no acceptance of the foreign monarch's order, General Shi sent troops to support Zhangjiakou this time, and the palace will definitely play the emperor's father, and ask for credit for General Shi when the time comes. But General Shi can also not go, when the time comes, the grain and grass will fall into the hands of the Jinren, and the saint will blame him, and the palace will inform his father of this matter, I am afraid that General Shi will not be able to escape the involvement! ”

Shi Kefa was about to cry after hearing this, is there such a bully? When the time comes, I will give you credit, and if I don't go to the time when the grain and grass fall into the hands of the golden people, the saint will blame it, and he will finish the calf. Where is this a multiple-choice question, this is clearly a proposition.

Shi Kefa thought for a while and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not that he can't go to Zhangjiakou, it's just that if the lower officials send troops to Zhangjiakou, who will escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to Beijing?" When the time comes, if you encounter a bandit, what will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince miss, and what face will he have to return to Beijing to face the saint. ”

"The prince has thought of this a long time ago, so he ordered you to divide two hundred people and escort the palace into Beijing under the leadership of Qi Long."

Hearing this, Shi Kefa had no tricks, Zhu Cihong thought of everything, and after the words were completed, he could ask the saint for credit. If you don't go, in case Liu Chengye fails, Zhu Cihong will dress herself in front of the saint, and she will have to be implicated.

Shi Kefa said helplessly: "Okay, after repairing it below, I will lead the troops to Zhangjiakou." ”

Zhu Cihong then said: "This palace will advise Governor Yang to send someone to go to Zhangjiakou with you, after all, one more strength, one more chance of winning." ”

Shi Kefa said with a smile: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only to calculate under the plan, but also to calculate Governor Yang. In this way, I am waiting for the good news of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

"In this way, the palace will not bother General Shi, and the palace will have to go to the Governor's Mansion to find Governor Yang." After speaking, Zhu Cihong turned around and went to the Governor's Mansion to find Yang Yiqing.

"Greetings to Your Highness."

Yang Yiqing listened to the chatter of the people below, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "After arguing for a long time, I didn't have a good idea, this doesn't work and that doesn't work, when the time comes, the saint will blame it, and everyone will go to the guillotine together." ”

Everyone closed their mouths one by one, for fear of implicating the matter on themselves. The atmosphere in the stadium became awkward for a moment.

At this moment, the butler hurried over and said, "Lord Yang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something important to discuss with you. ”

As soon as Yang Yiqing heard that Zhu Cihong had something to find him, he couldn't help but curse secretly, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Zhu Cihong is afraid that he is here to knock on his bamboo pole. Although I wanted to cut Zhu Cihong with a thousand knives in my heart, when I heard that Zhu Cihong was looking for me, I still had to go over the fart.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the officials were unable to greet him from afar, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive his sins."

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "It's okay, this palace has something important to discuss with you, I don't know if it's convenient for Lord Yang?" ”

"It's convenient, His Royal Highness the Prince, please." After speaking, Zhu Cihong was welcomed to the study. After the maid brought the tea, she withdrew.

Yang Yiqing asked puzzledly: "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to do to find the lower officials?" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "Presumably, Lord Yang already knows about the Jin merchants' collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country, and I don't know how Lord Yang plans to explain to the saints?" ”

Hearing this, Yang Yiqing knew that he was coming to bridge his own bamboo pole, and resisted the urge to scold his mother, Yang Yiqing asked, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has?" ”

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "As the saying goes, knowing mistakes can improve a lot, and it's not too late to make amends." Now that something has happened, you should find a way to atone for the crime. The palace has a plan, although I dare not guarantee that my father will not punish him, but I am seventy percent sure. I wonder if Lord Yang is willing? ”

Yang Yiqing hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that it doesn't matter, as long as he can make the merit for his crimes, the lower officials are willing to do anything." ”

Zhu Cihong said lightly: "The Jin merchants have a batch of grain and grass that is about to be escorted to Zhangjiakou, and the imperial court sent Liu Chengye to intercept it. Therefore, the number of people who will respond this time will only be more, not less. In order to prevent this batch of grain and grass from falling into the hands of the Jin people, General Shi will lead the army to Zhangjiakou tomorrow. ”

After hearing this, Yang Yiqing said with a smile: "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Prince, the lower official will order someone to lead the troops to Zhangjiakou with General Shi, and he will definitely leave this batch of grain and grass in my Daming." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and said: "After the matter is completed, this palace will say a few kind words for you in front of your father, and when the time comes, the merits and demerits will be offset, even if the punishment will not be too serious." ”

"In this way, thank you to His Royal Highness the Prince."
