"Your Highness, after the old man goes back, he will run all over the capital, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he will find those three criminals!"

Luo Han came with him, he has lived in the mountains for more than 20 years, and he can gallop with one arm and one leg, which made Liang Gang and others surprised.

"Don't be in a hurry, you have to be secret. This king ordered people to settle down the seniors, and the seniors are afraid that they will suffer some grievances, and it is not suitable to see their families for the time being. ”

Zhu Qiming was very excited, and after listening to Luo Han's words at this moment, he calmed down and warned himself not to forget the lessons of the past, and to pay attention to the strategy of struggle, prepare sufficient ammunition, choose the right time, and give the traitor a fatal blow in a clever way.

"The old man is about to return to his roots, and he has no regrets in this life. May I listen to His Highness's expulsion! ”

As he spoke, he had galloped into the boundary of Liaodong, and looked back on a high ground outside the Yahu Pass, and everyone was a little nostalgic for the mysterious land in front of them, but their moods were different.

Luo Han's eyes were filled with tears. That wild mountain buried his bare blood, and also intercepted more than 20 years of his short life.

Zhu Qiming sighed, is this magnificent river and mountain really the domain of the Ming Dynasty?

Liang Gang and the five guards were in a trance, and for several days, everything was like a dream!

After a short rest, everyone hurriedly set off, all the way to Weining, and returned to Weining at midnight.

Ouyang Tong ushered in the ceremony and said: "Your Highness, the imperial guards have sent a holy message, ordering Your Highness to lead the crowd to return to Beijing on the same day. ”

The oracle? Zhu Qiming was not surprised to hear such news, on the contrary, he was very calm, as if he had expected it. And today's chaos, Jingzhong was terrified, and at this time, the Son of Heaven finally remembered him, the king of Yue. However, he is used to freedom, and once he returns to the cage, he is afraid that he will feel deeply uncomfortable.

What's more, things change over time, and when I return to the capital after four years, everything has to start all over again!

"Reward He Yuan, the herald will set off tomorrow morning, pass through the boundary of Wuliangha, and enter the country through Gubeikou!"

He wanted to go to Changsheng Fort to take another look, but he was afraid that Pang Zhe would persuade him to prepare for the government, Ling Xudao would persuade him to find medicine, and that Leng Wuyan ······ That's it, it's better to say goodbye, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water!

······

Thousands of miles to Gyeonggi, Guanshan is flying.

At noon on the 11th day of the first month of the twelfth year of orthodoxy, after a long journey of five days and nights, Zhu Qiming and his entourage of more than 3,000 people arrived at Huangjiaao at the junction of Pinggu County and Shunyi County in Shuntian Prefecture.

The capital is close at hand, more than 3,000 people can hardly hide their excitement, the excited discussion is non-stop, and a young soldier sings the Tongzhou minor tune.

Zhu Qiming was timid about his hometown, raised his eyes to look in the direction of the capital, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to stop.

More than 100 horsemen and horses appeared on the official road ahead, galloping slowly towards this side.

"The emperor has sent someone to greet His Highness!" Seeing the official flag fluttering in front of him, some people in the procession shouted excitedly.

When everyone heard this, they all smiled happily, dismounted one after another, and waited for the grand courtesy with great pride.

Several hundreds of households gathered together and discussed with their eyebrows fluttering.

"They must have brought the best wine from the Emperor!"

"And the food of the Imperial Gift."

"Hee-hee, and the beauties of the Imperial Gift!"

I only heard a pop, and the guy who was reading "beauty" was kicked to the ground by the thousand households next to him.

"I'm afraid you're going to become a beautiful corpse from the Imperial Palace!" The Senhu teased.

As a result, the guards around laughed heartily.

In the midst of laughter, the people came closer, and when they looked closely, they saw that their hands were empty, and they were immediately empty, and there was no convoy behind them.

Come empty-handed, rejoice in a hammer!

Everyone shook their heads, and the disappointment quickly spread.

Among the people in front, the first two middle-aged people in court clothes turned over and dismounted, and bowed to Zhu Qiming's side.

"The host and guest of the Ministry of Rites, the Qing official Shilang, Chang Siqing, see His Royal Highness the King of Yue."

"The frame of the military department, the Qing official Shilang, and the middle Wuqi see His Royal Highness the King of Yue."

Zhu Qiming has been in a bitter cold place for a long time, and when he saw the characters of the dynasty at first glance, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

I saw that the two of them were wearing a blue collar and white gauze red robe, and a green red robe, with white socks and black shoes on their feet, and a red and white two-color silk belt at the waist, a leather belt, and a pendant ribbon. The exquisite official uniform and elegant posture make people appreciate the tallness of the Beijing officials.

The beam crown on the head of the two has three beams, indicating that their rank is the fifth grade, which is the same as Ouyang Tong.

Why did they come to greet them in court dresses? Zhu Qiming was puzzled, turned over and dismounted, and bowed his head in return.

"The lowly has been waiting for His Highness nearby for a long time." Chang Siqing said.

"This king has been instructed to return to Beijing, and there are rules to follow, so why should the officials of the six ministries welcome him?" Zhu Qiming said gently.

Chang Siqing and Wu Qi were stunned suddenly, with embarrassed looks on their faces. After a while, Wu Qi gave up his hand, "The two of them have been ordered to come and inform His Highness that His Highness's guards must be moved to Miyun. ”

What the! Moving to Miyun? This face crackles!

It's just a treat, it's time to have a welcome ceremony, right?

If you don't welcome it, you should arrange room and board, right?

It's just that you don't arrange room and board, you should always announce the instructions for entering Beijing, right?

No service is provided, as soon as you come up, you will drive away the escort army of the king of Yue, and the official master will not be able to master the prince!

Dare to slap the prince in the face, look at you who are bold!

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn, and anger appeared in the eyes of the guards.

Zhu Qiming glanced at Wu Qi indifferently, "Is this what the Ministry of War means?" Although he asked so, he had already answered in the negative in his heart.

Kuang Yu, the secretary of the military department, is a responsible person, and he will definitely not act so excessively!

"This is the meaning of the Ministry of Rites, how to place His Royal Highness's guards, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to discuss it."

Zhu Qiming's mind immediately appeared in the inscrutable face of Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. The patriarchs of the four dynasties are scheming!

"Let His Royal Highness King Yue enter Beijing alone, this is what the Ministry of Rites means?" Ouyang Tong said in a deep voice.

Chang Siqing hurriedly glanced at Ouyang Tong, "You can bring the civil officials of the Yue Mansion and a hundred guards, and follow the King of Yue into Beijing." ”

Everyone's eyes flashed with anger, and their emotions were almost out of control.

"The prince must have a prominent guard of honor when he enters Beijing, how can a mere hundred people afford such a scene!" Liang Gang said angrily.

"His Royal Highness King Yue has not gone to the domain, so there is no need to set up a guard of honor." There was a coldness on Chang Siqing's face.

The guards suddenly exploded, and the anger spread rapidly, and for a while, there was an uproar.

The dignified prince was so neglected by the sesame big official, it is tolerable, which is unbearable!

Zhu Qiming hurriedly waved his hand to stabilize everyone. "Should this king rush to Tongzhou, or stay in Shunyi? Or do you want to stay in the middle of this barren mountain? ”

"This ······ I don't know. Chang Siqing muttered.

Hum! A bunch of bureaucrats, this little bit of things is not well planned, and they are embarrassed to talk about governing the country!

Zhu Qiming endured it for a long time, and finally chose to be silent.

Although he is a prince, he still belongs to people outside the court system, and the other party is a courtier, in a sense, they are the Qincha, representing the entire court and the emperor.

Being embarrassed is tantamount to rebellion!

Besides, the two of them must have been sent by important ministers in the court, so why should they spill their anger on the two five-grade officials?

"Say goodbye below."

After Chang Siqing and Wu Qi saluted, they turned around and got on their horses, and beckoned their entourage to ride their horses away.

Ouyang Tong whispered in Zhu Qiming's ear: "In the eyes of the important ministers of the court, His Royal Highness is a sharp sword hanging over the heads of many people, and they are worried that His Royal Highness will move the emperor to eliminate the evils, which will damage their private interests, so His Royal Highness will not be happy to see it when he enters Beijing this time." ”

Did this king have such intentions? Zhu Qiming didn't say anything, turned around silently, ordered Lianggang to order a hundred guards to accompany him, and ordered Tang Ji to lead a large team of men and horses to Miyun to station.

Although Tang Ji was angry, he still obeyed the order and left with the crowd lonely.

At this moment, more than a dozen horsemen and horses in front of him escorted a carriage and galloped over. When they got closer, they saw a man come out of the chariot.

The man was dressed in court clothes and had a good appearance. The crown of the beam on his head has four beams, and the waist is a plain gold belt.

"The right side of the Imperial Inspectorate, the imperial history of Lu Kang, see His Royal Highness the King of Yue."

"Lord Lu is here, why is it here?" Zhu Qiming looked at Lu Kang's deep complexion, and had a premonition that something would happen again.

Under the reflection of sunlight and snow, Lu Kang's expression looked a little distorted, and his eyes flickered.

"I'm here to persuade Your Highness."

Advise? You only need to listen to the beginning to know that the comer is not good.

"This king has been ordered to enter Beijing, could it be that Lord Lu wants to persuade this king to resist the decree?" There was a slight disdain in Zhu Qiming's eyes.

Lu Kang bowed slightly and put on a very standardized and elegant posture.

"Your Highness is serious, serious! The emperor has an order, and His Royal Highness has to obey. However, His Highness also has another option, for example, to refuse the letter. ”

"Why should this king refuse?" There was no longer half a warm taste in Zhu Qiming's tone.

"The hundred officials think that the main thing His Highness wants to do today is to first recommend the order to go to the domain, as for entering Beijing, all the kings in the world have this intention, and the emperor has no precedent for the performance, can His Highness be an exception?"

Ouyang Tong, Liang Gang, Feng Duo and the others were all shocked, stunned, and they couldn't believe their ears.
