Seeing Shen Xi's ugly face, Yu Niang asked curiously: "The situation in Fuzhou, the slave family also just learned about it, and is asking Liu Shangshu for advice to see how to deal with it, but I don't know where Lord Shen learned the news?" ”

Shen Xi said: "I have met with Gao Shilang's people. ”

"Kochifu?"

Hearing Shen Xi talk about Gaoming City, Yu Niang naturally thought of the parents and officials of Tingzhou Mansion, she thought for a while, and said, "We have an internal channel for transmitting information, and we just learned about it here, but he can know it immediately, this matter may have a lot to do with him, Lord Shen is still careful ......to take precautions."

Shen Xi could hear that Yu Niang intended to direct his anger to Gao Mingcheng, which showed that the household department's pursuit of Gao Mingcheng was still not over, but because Gao Mingcheng was now a member of the foreign relatives party and was valued by Emperor Hongzhi, there was no way to recover the stolen goods even if there were clues.

You can't get back the money that Gaoming City gave to the Zhang brothers, most of the stolen money is now in the inner treasury, and you can only ask Emperor Hongzhi for it if you want to get it back.

Yu Niang said again: "The slave family heard about something, Your Majesty seems to be intent on sending Lord Shen to cooperate with Gao Shilang to Beiguan to appease the soldiers, Lord Shen should prepare in advance." ”

"I'm aware of it at this point." Shen Xi Road.

Yu Niang's face showed a look of surprise: "It was also sent by Gao Shilang to tell him?" Then he is really well-informed, and he has already known about this matter as soon as His Majesty has made a decision...... The slave family finally understood why Gao Shilang had to find someone to inform Lord Shen about Fuzhou......"

Yu Niang wanted to ask Gao Mingcheng what he said to him, but Shen Xi obviously didn't mean to answer, but asked, "Will Liu Shangshu send someone to accompany him?" ”

Yu Niang smiled, and her meaning was self-evident.

Knowingly asked, how could Liu Shangshu rest assured that Gao Mingcheng would go alone, even if Gao Mingcheng was a monkey, he could escape from the palm of the Buddha?

Shen Xi said: "It seems that Yu Niang is also going to go together?" ”

Yu Niang nodded: "Liu Shangshu does have this intention, but no formal arrangements have been made for the time being, and everything is variable." Lord Shen just has to put his heart down, and the slave family guarantees that as long as he is the person who is remembered by Lord Shen, nothing will happen. ”

"Do you know who I have in mind?" Shen Xi asked.

Yu Niang nodded confidently.

Shen Xi couldn't say anything at the moment, because it was useless to say anything, and now even if he rushed from the capital to Fujian, it was too late, and the only thing he could only believe in was the power of Yu Niang and the forces behind her.

What Shen Xi of Fuzhou City is most worried about is not Ma Jiu, the brothers of the chariot and horse gang, but the Yin shopkeeper's family, including Yin Wen, the little girl who can't let go of his heart.

Saying goodbye to Yu Niang, Shen Xi sighed secretly: "I hope nothing happens to them." Unconsciously, he thought of the Hui Niang who would rather take risks than go against his will, and his heart was powerless.

If it weren't for the end of the world, even if it was tied, Hui Niang would have to be tied out of Tingzhou Mansion.

……

……

Shen Xi is worried about the affairs of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the day of the autumn siege on the imperial court side has come unconsciously.

As the right commander of the Zhan Mansion, Shen Xi is just a civil official from the fifth grade, and it seems insignificant in a place like the capital where princes and ministers walk everywhere, but it is he who is a Hanlin official, but he has become a key figure in Qiuwei, because he is responsible for showing the "powerful artillery equipped by the Ming army" to the Wuliangha people in the paddock.

The day before the Autumn Siege, Ma Wensheng called Shen Xi to the Ministry of War to give instructions, which probably meant that Shen Xi would go with the Ministry of War the next day, because Empress Zhang and Prince Zhu Houzhao did not accompany him this time.

"Ma Shangshu, but do you want to demonstrate the artillery bombardment of straw men and grass horses in front of the Uliangha people just like when the artillery was drilled in the school field that day?"

Shen Xi specifically asked for proof, because in the past few days, the Ministry of War has only explained that he is in charge of the artillery exercise, and has not said the process at all.

Ma Wensheng nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about the specifics, when the time comes, it will naturally tell you where to fire the cannon, you can rest assured." ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, could it be that he could still conjure up tricks when he performed a cannon in the paddock? This time, instead of fighting dummies, how about trying real people instead?

……

……

The hunting grounds of the capital of the Ming Dynasty were Nanhaizi located in the south of the capital, and it is said that the Houhai and Shichahai in the north were named because of their geographical location.

Nanhaizi is also commonly known as "Haizili" by the people of Beijing.

Nanhaizi was founded in the Yuan Dynasty, is the royal hunting ground of Mengyuan, after the ancestor moved the capital, in the 12th year of Yongle will expand the hunting ground, the scope increased to ten times that of the Yuan Dynasty, and in the Ming Xuande three years to repair the Nanhaizi wall, the bridge road, the earthen wall is about 120 miles long, open up four gates, respectively, the big red gate, the south red gate, the east red gate and the west red gate, at the same time build the emperor out of the hunting palace, set up two admiralty offices, and set up "sea gate" guard.

There are more than 1,000 people in Nanhaizi, in addition to guarding the garden, the more important thing is to maintain the animals, tending to the flowers and trees, there are no fierce beasts in it, and the raisers are some docile animals that are easy to hunt, which is almost equivalent to an open-air ecological zoo.

During the Chenghua Dynasty, Emperor Chenghua often brought Wan Guifei here to hunt, but in the Hongzhi Dynasty, because Emperor Hongzhi was weak and sick, he had already put down the hunting thing, so that Nanhaizi lacked funds over the years and became a little desolate.

On this day, Emperor Hongzhi went out to hunt, from the palace to Zhengyangmen between the road are closed, Luan Yu out of Zhengyangmen after continuing to the south, after about an hour to see the north gate of Nanhaizi Dahongmen, from the Dahongmen entered, and walked about a stick of incense time before entering the palace.

At this time, the follow-up car of the long queue had just driven out of Zhengyangmen.

Because the hunt lasts for two days, on the first day Emperor Hongzhi will take the civil and military officials to hold a small ceremony outside the palace, and then Emperor Hongzhi will receive the envoys of Uliangha and announce the beginning of the hunt in the form of cannons.

During these two days, the accompanying officials can ride horses and shoot arrows, and can participate in the hunt, and at the end there will be a small competition, which will be determined by the number of prey hunted, and will be rewarded by Emperor Hongji himself.

On the first night, there will be a bonfire in the enclosure, which is equivalent to an open-air barbecue, with wine and food, and the next morning, Emperor Hongji will meet with Almeida, the envoy of the Franc machine, and others at the palace, and return to the palace that night.

When Emperor Hongzhi decided to go on patrol, Empress Zhang was still in good health, and he was going to bring his wife and son together, which was equivalent to a vacation, but because of the sudden change in Empress Zhang's body, Emperor Hongzhi was in a bad mood and wanted to cancel, but after all, it had been determined that he would meet the envoys of Fanbang during the hunt, and it was not the style of the Son of Heaven to be untrustworthy, so Emperor Hongzhi could only come hard.

As for the accompanying officials, the cabinet will be left behind by Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, Xie Qian will accompany him, and the six ministries will be appointed by Shangshu or Shilang, which will be agreed in advance.

Because the situation of the household department was relatively special, it was the time when the grain was counted after the autumn grain was put into storage, and the amount of money and grain that needed to be allocated to appease the border army was calculated, and the Shangshu of the household department and the left and right attendants were not present.

Zhu Youzhu couldn't ride a horse, but he was influenced by his father, Emperor Chenghua, and learned archery when he was young, but he hated fighting and killing, so he preferred to stay in the palace to rest rather than participate in this hunt. But after all, he is the king of a country, both the initiator and the host of hunting, and others have to look at his face to act, Zhu Youzhi knows this very well, so in addition to hunting, he will try his best to participate.

Wenchen came to the enclosure to participate in the hunting, and did not feel monotonous, in addition to the barbecue and wine supply, there are also activities of reciting poetry, think that those great poets and great writers in the Tang and Song dynasties also accompanied the emperor to make a series of beautiful poems and splendid articles when he went on tour.

Since the Ming Dynasty ruled the country with literature, of course, it could not be left behind, but the officials of the Ming Dynasty were basically selected by the imperial examination, and many of them entered the officialdom at the age of thirty or forty, and they had to be promoted in terms of qualifications.

These people have passed the heroic young age, even in this kind of horse-hoofed and majestic hunting activities, they really can't hold back any good poetry and articles.

In order to make this hunt more meaningful, Emperor Hongzhi brought several young officials from Hanlin, all of whom were selected in advance by the Hanlin Academy, not only young, but most importantly, they learned well, and they were especially proficient in poetry and songs.

And Shen Xi was originally a good candidate, young and promising, and good at learning, but unfortunately now he is only on a temporary position in the Hanlin Academy, and this time he was transferred to the military department to help, but he has nothing to do.

In the southbound convoy, Shen Xi sat on the bumpy carriage, looking at the scene of the withered branches and leaves outside, and the scene of everything withering, there was a kind of sadness and vicissitudes in his heart...... This is no longer autumn high and cool, but early winter, and the winter in the north of the Xiaoice River is not ordinary cold.

In this kind of weather, as long as the cold snap arrives and it snows immediately, you can't wait for the winter wax moon at all.

"Lord Shen, it's almost time to get to the big red gate, why don't you come down and take a walk?"

Except for Shen Xi, the other entourages of the military department did not have the treatment of him in a carriage, and those old oilmen began to encourage Shen Xi to get off the carriage and move their muscles, so that they could sit in the carriage and rest for a while.

"No need."

Shen Xi tightened his clothes, "I was in a hurry to go out today, I didn't bother to add another piece of clothing, it was cold outside, I still hid in the carriage, and I got off the carriage when I got to the place." ”

The old oilers were a little disappointed on their faces, but they didn't dare to say anything, how could Shen Xi be a Hanlin official from the fifth grade, and he was invited by Lord Shangshu to help, and he repeatedly explained that he wanted to serve well.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind the car, from far and near, and the speed was very fast...... Shen Xi leaned in front of the window to take a look, and saw a heroic young man dressed in brocade clothes, riding a horse and coming quickly, as if there was something important to report.

When Shen Xi saw this person, he couldn't help but pin his head to the side, and muttered: "At this time, what are you going to do when you come out and pretend?" ”

It's none other than the old acquaintance Jiang Liwei.

Since Jiang Liwei wanted to pit Shen Xi with private goods on Zhou Fatzi, but found nothing, Shen Xi hadn't seen this person for a long time.

At present, as an entourage escort to the emperor, Jiang Liwei can finally show his face in front of people, but in Shen Xi's opinion, Jiang Liwei only has the meaning of a fox and a fake tiger.

"What did Lord Shen say?"

Zhang Lao Wu was also in the carriage, and when he heard Shen Xi's words, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's nothing, I mean, it's cold today, if you go out hunting, you'll have to freeze to death!" Shen Xi said angrily.
