Under the heavy snowfall, Wang Yangming looked at the Baqiao in front of him, and suddenly grabbed the reins: "Change the route, go to Xi'an Mansion!" Stay overnight in Baqiao, especially Baihu, please send someone to inform the governor and let him return to Xi'an. ”

The commander of the Absolute Sound Guard made Yang Mao and Dongchang You Baihu very shocked when they heard it.

You Baihu even asked directly: "Bachelor Wang, why do you have to change the route to Xi'an Fucheng, we have all walked all night on the way to Sanyuan!" ”

"You Baihu, it's not that the official deliberately tricked you, but for the sake of your lives, and to ensure that Zhang Yu and other important prisoners of the imperial court will be successfully escorted into Beijing, if the official is not bad, it must be Li Dongyang's people who went to kill last night, they will definitely go directly to Sanyuan to intercept us after seeing us take the lead, after all, we are under the banner of escorting the prince into Beijing, everyone knows that we will definitely go to Sanyuan, and they will naturally know."

Wang Yangming raised his index finger as he spoke, and said with a confident smile: "And we don't go to Sanyuan, let's go to Xi'an Mansion City first, take the avenue back to the capital, and even we can directly find the governor Yang Yiqing and ask him to send additional cavalry to escort us back to Beijing." ”

You Baihu also felt that it made sense after listening to Wang Yangming's words, so he had to nod and send someone to stop Ma Yongcheng, the commander of Dongchang.

Ma Yongcheng was also very angry when he heard this, thinking that he was also the commander of Dongchang and the number two person in the inner court, and now he was actually played by a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and he let himself go to Xi'an first for a while, and then let himself rush to Sanyuan, and now he wants to go back to Xi'an by himself! In this winter, in the ice and snow, who can stand it back and forth!

But Ma Yongcheng was not in a hurry to see Wang Shu, he was more concerned about whether he could successfully escort Zhang Yu and others back to Beijing, but now Zhang Yu and others were in Wang Yangming's hands, so Ma Yongcheng could only endure his anger and rushed back to Xi'an.

As soon as Ma Yongcheng saw Wang Yangming, he pointed at Wang Yangming and scolded: "What the hell do you want to do!" ”

"The Duke of the Governor is angry, the Duke of the Governor should be grateful to the lower officials, if the lower officials don't let the Duke come back, I am afraid that the Duke of the Governor has now been buried in this land of Qinchuan", Wang Yangming said and told Ma Yongcheng what he said to You Baihu at the beginning, and also told Ma Yongcheng about the fact that he had taken Zhang Yu and others on his side and Li Dongyang on the back foot.

Ma Yongcheng couldn't help but look solemn after hearing this, and asked You Baihu: "Is there really such a thing?" ”

"Indeed, and the strength of the other party should not be underestimated, they are all skilled horsemen, no less than five hundred", You Baihu replied.

Ma Yongcheng couldn't help but slap the table after hearing this: "Okay, what a Li Dongyang, he is quite capable, he can directly command five hundred cavalry to extinguish the mouth, why doesn't he rebel directly!" ”

"Look at what the Governor said, what is the difference between what he did and rebellion, it is not appropriate to delay any longer, let's go to Xi'an Mansion City quickly!"

Wang Yangming got on the horse and took a step forward as he spoke, and at this time, Ma Yongcheng asked: "Why don't you ask the governor about the details of the prefect's visit to Xi'an?" ”

"No need, since Li Dongyang specially sent someone to exterminate the mouth, he didn't directly find the prefect of Xi'an, which means that his protégé is not aware of his teacher's conspiracy, but the lower official suddenly remembered that there is something to ask the governor, I don't know if the governor knows where Yang Yiqing, the governor of Shaanxi, is?"

Wang Yangming asked.

"I'm teaching at Zhengyi Academy now!"

Ma Yongcheng is the commander of Dongchang, and he has already arranged his own eyeliner in Shaanxi, so he naturally knows Yang Yiqing's recent situation.

"Then you have to trouble the governor to go to Governor Yang Yiqing personally to borrow troops," Wang Yangming said with a smile.

Ma Yongcheng was angry: "Okay, you Wang Shouren, this governor is really going to run errands for you!" Why let the governor personally borrow troops, the governor is the envoy, and now the governor orders you, you go to borrow troops! ”

"Don't blame the governor, the non-subordinate officials don't want to go by themselves, but the subordinate official position is too small, I'm afraid that I can't borrow soldiers, are you the commander of Dongchang or the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi and His Majesty's edict, the secondment of the border army can only be done by you in person, however, please rest assured that the subordinate will definitely be optimistic about Zhang Yu and other important criminals for you!"

Wang Yangming said with a smile.

Ma Yongcheng, the commander of Dongchang, was still very depressed in his heart, but he couldn't say that what Wang Yangming said was wrong, so he had to ride his horse and rush to Zhengyi Academy again.

Shaanxi Governor Yang Yiqing got Zhu Houzhao's secret decree at this time and also got a letter from Li Dongyang, but Li Dongyang's letter was naturally not as persuasive as Zhu Houzhao's secret decree, not to mention that Ma Yongcheng, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the governor of Dongchang, also came to see him in person, so Yang Yiqing did not hesitate to directly transfer 500 Qindi horse soldiers to help Ma Yongcheng escort Zhang Yu and others into Beijing.

At the same time, Ma Yongcheng also handed over the official document appointing Wang Shu as the secretary of the ministry to Yang Yiqing, and instructed Yang Yiqing to send another officer and soldier to escort Wang Shu into Beijing instead of the Absolute Sound Guard.

Yang Yiqing directly asked the prefect of Xi'an to send a local guard to escort Wang Shu into Beijing.

After all, in Yang Yiqing's view, Wang Shu went to Beijing to take up his post, not to go to the border town, let alone a major crime, and there would be no big danger, and it was almost the same to send an ordinary officer and soldier to scare the thieves along the way.

At this time, Wang Yangming and Ma Yongcheng, together with the people of Jueshengwei and Dongchang, as well as five hundred Qindi cavalry, escorted Zhang Yu and other important criminals directly from Xi'an, and returned to the capital by the avenue.

And Wang Shu here a few days later, he also received an edict from a military attache named Ye Qianhu and a preacher that he had been reinstated as a secretary of the ministry.

Although Wang Shu is old, he is still old and strong, and said directly: "Since the court has the heart to refresh the rule of officials, the old man will do his best and enter Beijing tomorrow!" ”

So, when the cold wind was raging, Wang Shu, who was already 90 years old, left Sanyuan County under the escort of 1,000 officers and soldiers, and walked to Beijing under the snow.

……

Shaanxi Inspector Lu Zhonghe had also received Li Dongyang's secret letter from Li Hong, and when he opened it, he saw that it only read "Four Zhuangzi!" ”

Lu Zhonghe couldn't help laughing, and he also knew that this meant that he could get four villages after the Tartars entered Guantu Village, so he couldn't help but say: "This time the hand is quite big!" ”

"Not only this, if you do this well, you will also be transferred to Sichuan as a governor, Shu is comparable to the south of the Yangtze River, warmer than this solid plain," Li Hong said with a smile.

"Let the upper authorities rest assured, the lower officials will definitely handle this matter well, so that Wang Shu and Zhang Yu will not die well! There is also the governor of Dongchang, who can be regarded as eradicating a thief in one fell swoop! ”

After the inspector Lu Zhonghe said, he sent Li Hong away, and he himself immediately called his henchmen: "You take my order and immediately go out to find the people of the little prince, and tell them that there is business to do, and you can slaughter four Zhuangzi this time!" ”

When Wang Shu just set off, in the Guyuan City Pass at this time, a group of no less than five hundred Tartars rode horses, and one of them directly saw the patrol Yu Shi Lu Zhonghe: "How many villages are you going to slaughter this time?" ”

"Wang Shu and his followers will slaughter the village wherever they go, but they still have to follow the old rules, when the time comes, the fields of the villages slaughtered will belong to us, and the money and women will belong to you, but you must do things first and then get rich, this is a special order from above!"

Lu Zhonghe said.
