In the chaos, Zhu Cihong's departure was not eye-catching, but Liu Zhaohui, the commander of the direct guard, reluctantly stayed, and after the matter calmed down, he took the silver to ransom people.

has already promised Lu Dalei about it, of course, he can't ignore it.

If the crown prince breaks the trust of a few small soldiers, it will really be a big joke to spread it.

Although this matter is a big trouble, but the matter at the yamen gate is also very regular, as soon as the real money is up, all the people arrested last night are released.

And Liu Zhaohui's disciples, even if they can't attack the marquis in the future, they won't be able to run away from the worldly position of commanding all of them. Besides, now that the father is the Shaofu and the son is the commander of the crown prince's direct guard, it is inevitable that the family will be revived in the future, and it is not necessary to be stingy with a few silver coins.

As soon as he saw that there were many beggar-like people standing in the yoke at the entrance of the yamen, he ransomed all the surnames of Suo.

With this distinguished guest, many people from the yamen came out to see him, but when they saw that the clothes and decorations were ordinary, they smiled and opened their hands when they saw it.

"Your Highness is really generous!"

Guo Shuping rubbed his wrist and said with a smile: "It's really enviable to go out for a few hundred taels at once." But thinking that it is the prince of a country, it is immediately relieved. ”

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense."

It's so sarcastic that anyone can hear it. Lu Dalei was very uneasy and stepped forward to persuade him.

"What," Guo Shuhua rolled his eyes and said, "You also said yesterday that you went to see the crown prince, and His Royal Highness the crown prince wanted to come to help us seek justice with the people, is this justice?" If you want to talk about silver, do I really not have it? It's just that I can't see the change of day! ”

Such a statement is even more difficult to argue, and several new troops also hung their heads.

The people around them didn't care so much, and someone helped them pay the money, of course, a thousand thanks. After kneeling down and prostrating one by one, they all hurried away.

After a day in the city, I don't know what the trouble is going to be at home. If you go back late, you will sell your house and land, and you will sell your children and daughters, and it will be miserable at that time.

There was chaos all around, and Guo Shuhua suddenly lost interest in the debate, and said happily: "Forget it, don't talk about it, it's already like this anyway." Da Lei, I'm going to travel overseas and go to Nanjing to find a sea ship, are you with me? ”

They have been friends since childhood, one is resolute and steady, the other is intelligent and erudite, the surname is different, but the friendship is very deep. However, although there was hesitation on Lu Dalei's face at this time, he slowly shook his head and replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has his own reasons for acting, and I won't leave." ”

In fact, if you talk about it, Lu Dalei and others also have doubts, but their trust in Zhu Cihong is already deep-rooted and difficult to shake.

Moreover, in the Pingyu Army, they are also integrated into a whole, and the feeling that the group is above all else is also gradually planted in their hearts, and it is absolutely impossible to ask them to leave at this time.

"Okay, I'll go."

Guo Shuhua smiled freely, and his appearance was also very chic, Liu Zhaohui was originally angry, but seeing him like this, his heart moved, and he stepped forward immediately, blocking Guo Shuhua's way, and said quietly: "Do you want to listen to His Royal Highness the Prince's words?" ”

"Oh?" Guo Shuhua raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What did you say?" Please excuse me. ”

"Your Highness said......"

In the crowd, a group of young people did not attract much attention, and they talked as they walked, which was very refreshing.

When they arrived near the city gate, Liu Zhaohui's subordinates had already greeted him and sent horses, and the rest of the new army, of course, could continue to go back for vacation.

It's just that there is such a thing, and everyone's original good mood has disappeared, and when they look at the city gate at this time, they all feel extra low and depressed.

"How is it, Brother Guo," when he arrived outside the city gate, Liu Zhaohui finished telling what had happened, and at the end, he looked at Guo Shuhua, scratched his head and said: "I have been by His Royal Highness the Prince's side for a long time, but I can't touch what His Royal Highness thinks in his heart." What do you say about this in front of you? ”

"Haha!"

Guo Shuhua suddenly burst out laughing, and after half a ring, he said to Liu Zhaohui, who was stunned: "The prince is such a hero, Guo really underestimated His Highness's mind." ”

"How?"

"Originally, I thought that His Highness was just calming things down, and it was difficult for officials who didn't want to bow down. After all, an edict is an edict, and reality is reality. The local government has to use public funds, and it costs money to maintain the post station, so His Royal Highness is not good at making trouble for himself, so he left. Now it seems that His Royal Highness is just unwilling to remove officials from office for illegal non-criminal killing, but wants to implement the system. ”

"And that said?" Not only Liu Zhaohui was dumbfounded, but the rest of the soldiers of the New Army were also stunned.

"Absolutely." Guo Shuhua smiled and said: "The real people control the laws and regulations to check and balance the people in the world, and at the same time, they are also among them. Yin Yang Avenue, where can you do happy things! What kind of person is angry, and the blood is flowing, that is irony, not praise! Like today's incident, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can kill people, but he will inevitably be named as a non-criminal person, and the aftermath of the disposal shows that His Royal Highness is extraordinary, which is really instructive and admirable. ”

"You scholar......

Liu Zhaohui shook his head and smiled: "Okay, listening to you, my head hurts too!" ”

After that, he turned over his horse and whipped to strike. Although he is a nobleman, he doesn't have any shelf, and when he is about to go, his heart moves, and he says to Guo Shuhua: "Brother Guo, don't leave for the time being, I'll tell Your Highness what you said, see what he says?" ”

"It's fine." Guo Shuhua was in a good mood at this time, patted Lu Dalei on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Huaiyang has this king, I am afraid that we will be free from the suffering of war and famine in the future." In that case, what else to go. ”

The Guo family is actually a scholarly family, and their learning is very miscellaneous, and they moved to Huaishang more than ten years ago, which may be to avoid trouble in advance.

Others don't understand the joints, but Guo Shuhua himself knows it very well, and when he was happy, he said it.

Fortunately, everyone didn't care, Liu Zhaohui smiled and whipped his whip, and took everyone away, Guo Shuhua walked quickly with Lu Dalei and a few people, and at the same time, he also secretly groaned, the prince seems to be the master who can be assisted, but he doesn't know, what will he use as a resource? This, I really have to weigh it carefully.

………… From Shanyang to Qingjiang, but thirty or forty miles of road, fast horses and whips, the official road situation is very good, after more than half an hour on the road, Zhu Cihong has returned to the camp boundary.

It is far away from the barracks, and there are a large number of small merchants and vendors, selling mostly daily necessities and snacks.

As soon as you get closer, you feel full of people and full of popularity.

In the barracks, the whistle was sharp, the shouts, the trumpets, the military songs, and the vibrations of running were all deafening.

When he arrived here, Zhu Cihong's facial expression was also truly relaxed. In any case, I really changed this small place.

Within a radius of dozens of miles, the fate of tens of thousands of athletes was completely changed because of him.

It is these ordinary people, merchants, large and small officials, people's original life trajectory has also changed because of him.

Even if it's a little bit, it's a real change.

A great man once said that he only influenced a small part of the city, and that political influence could not go out of the city. Of course, this is his humble words, but this sentence is used to encourage himself, and it is also timely.

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has returned."

"The ministers will knock on Your Highness."

Seeing him come back at this time, the camp was also flocked out, and many people showed a very happy look on their faces.

"Okay, everyone is busy going their own way," Zhu Cihong was moved in his heart, but deliberately said with a straight face: "Take advantage of the opportunity to welcome me, come out to be lazy, right?" ”

Everyone burst into laughter, but Zhu Cihong didn't laugh, all of them were officials above the eighth grade, all of them were from Jinshi, no matter which department they were in.

Those below the seventh grade, whether they are lifting people or showing talents, although they are eager, they all stay in the house honestly and dare not Meng Lang.

The distinction between officials and officials is still very distinct.

"Your Highness," was pondering, dozens of people kneeling next to the left side of the road immediately attracted his attention, and the kneeling front of the crowd was also looking at himself with a smile, seeing Zhu Cihong's eyes, he kowtowed again, and then smiled: "Minister Tang John, knock to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" ”

"Old Tang, you're back!"

As soon as he saw that it was him, Zhu Cihong was full of excitement, and immediately jumped off the horse.

It was the first time that the people who followed him saw the crown prince so unstable, and the action of turning over and dismounting was too anxious.

Even Wei Yue and Li Gong, who were caught in the crowd, couldn't help but smile at each other.

When His Royal Highness was in Yanjing, he often had a very rash childlike behavior, and now there are so many people under his command, up and down the camp, how many pairs of eyes are staring, and it is very rare to have such a straightforward action.

Where can Zhu Cihong pay attention to these things now?

At the moment, he just held Tang Ruowang's hand and said with a smile: "As soon as I beat you away, I will be worried about your return, no matter how you count, I should have come back a long time ago." ”

"The minister was delayed for a little time, and the machine tool was not ready-made, and he still managed to transfer it from the Nanyang territory." At that time, the Yanjing dialect had already been formed, but there were a lot of later banner words, at this time, if this middle-aged missionary was not blonde, and he was very tall and typical of the German Erman body, just listening to the voice, he really couldn't hear that it was a Yiren from Taixi.

"Good, good, good work."

"In addition to the lathes, lathes, boring machines and other equipment, the minister also brought back from the south a lot of Taixi people who were willing to follow and serve."

In fact, when buying equipment, there was no need for a missionary of the grade of John Tang to go out in Yanjing. The Jesus-China Society has permanent representatives in Macau and in Beijing.

In the early years of Chongzhen, Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua, the master and apprentice, were responsible for casting cannons, and purchased a large number of boring machine equipment for casting cannons from Europe.

But now that the Jingshi is lost, the former cannons and equipment, of course, are gone.

And Zhu Cihong still has higher and more requirements for the Jesus, so he has to run it once in person, such as John Tong, a big man among the missionaries who is trusted on both sides.
