Yang Xiaoyu waved his hand impatiently, sent Ye Maocai away, and went to the bed to rest.

In the afternoon, Suzhou Jinyiwei Qianhu sent someone to report, and Jinyiwei from Yangzhou, Hangzhou and other places rushed to Suzhou Mansion day and night, waiting for Yang Xiaoyu's next order.

Just as Yang Xiaoyu ordered Ti to pass on Cao Tai, Zhou Heguang rushed to Wujiang County with his men and horses.

With Zhou Heguang there, Yang Xiaoyu let go of half of his heart, and immediately ordered Cao Tai to prepare a spacious carriage, tie Xu Hongru and the three of them with iron chains, and throw the three of them together into the carriage.

The trivial matters were properly arranged, and Yang Xiaoyu took his subordinates and escorted Xu Hongru and the three out of the county seat and ran to the official road of Suzhou Mansion.

A group of people had war horses to walk, the speed was like the wind, and they came to the outside of Suzhou before evening.

He Tao, a thousand households in Hangzhou, Ma Qianhu in Yangzhou, a thousand households in Jinyiwei in Suzhou, and several hundreds of households in Nanzhili, all gathered outside the city to wait to welcome Yang Xiaoyu.

Yang Xiaoyu came to the gate of the city and saw the officials of the Jinyi Guard who came to the aid from all over the country, and after greeting him, he asked about the number of soldiers and horses brought by the officials.

Ma Qianhu in Yangzhou brought four hundred households of soldiers and horses, He Tao brought three hundred households of soldiers and horses, Suzhou Prefecture had three hundred households of soldiers and horses, and Nanzhili sent three hundred households of soldiers and horses.

There are more than 1,300 Jinyi guards and cavalry in various places, and Yang Xiaoyu has more than 300 cavalry, a total of more than 1,600 troops, more than 700 cavalry, and most of the rest are foot cavalry.

Yang Xiaoyu thought for a while, and ordered the soldiers and horses of Suzhou Qianhu to find ships at the nearby wharf, and all the foot horsemen boarded the boat and returned to Beijing.

The order was passed down, and the officials went their separate ways.

Suzhou thousands of households are familiar with the terrain. In a short time, seven large ships had been requisitioned from the docks.

Yang Xiaoyu ordered his subordinates to prepare dry food, escorted Xu Hongru and the three of them to board the boat overnight, and went north along the canal.

He Tao and Ma Qianhu led the cavalry to the bank of the canal, ensuring the safety of the boats on the river all the way.

Yang Xiaoyu got on the boat and ordered someone to throw Xu Hongru and the three of them off the cabin. Seize the sharp weapons in the cabin and let the three of them stay in the dark cabin.

It was a hot summer day, the air was dreary, and he stood on the bow of the boat, feeling the refreshing river breeze in front of him, which made his whole body indescribably comfortable.

Seven large boats sailed through the river, and the oars rowed across the river, making a popping sound.

From Suzhou Wharf to Beijing Wharf, it also takes at least dozens of days.

These days, we must be vigilant that there are people robbing Xu Hongru and the three of them along the river.

Yang Xiaoyu ordered the seven ships to sail in a zigzag pattern. In this way, even if there are remnants of the White Lotus Sect to rob, they will not panic.

……

Eight days later.

Yang Xiaoyu led seven ships to dock at the Beijing dock.

The road was uneventful, thanks to He Tao and Ma Qianhu leading the cavalry to eradicate the White Lotus Sect bandits who wanted to rob the ship along the way, which made him return to the capital smoothly.

Yang Xiaoyu got off the boat, thanked the local officials who escorted him all the way, exchanged pleasantries, and promised a little benefit to the officials. He ordered them to return to Jiangnan by boat, and he took his 300 cavalry to escort Xu Hongru to the capital.

After entering the city. Yang Xiaoyu did not delay at all, rode his horse all the way, and galloped to the gate of Fusi in Beizhen.

Huang Zhongwei and Ding Chenghu, the deputy pacification envoys, came out to greet Yang Xiaoyu with thousands of households from the Zhenfu Division.

Yang Xiaoyu greeted everyone with a smile, and ordered Geng Kaicheng to lead people to throw Xu Hongru and the three into the edict prison, send heavy soldiers to guard them, and then go to the hall with other officials of the Suppression Division. There was talk and laughter all the way, and they entered the hall and sat separately, and asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, what happened in the capital during the time that this official was away from Beijing?" ”

Huang Zhongwei, the deputy town envoy, said with a smile: "Lord Yang is not in the capital during this time. The court was in a mess, Lord Gao proposed that his disciple Wei Dazhong should serve in the affairs of the officials, and Lord Zuo proposed that his fellow countryman Ruan Dacheng should serve as the two of them, both of whom belonged to the Donglin camp and did not give in to each other, and they quarreled in the court for this matter. ”

Yang Xiaoyu smiled, the officials are the first, the workers are the last, and the Donglin Party officials actually tear each other down for this matter, and there is infighting, which is really unwise, but this is also a good opportunity.

Historically, Ruan Dacheng was the first to attach himself to the Donglin Party, and later abandoned the Donglin officials because he did not become a minister, and abandoned the Donglin officials, and switched to Wei Zhongxian, helping Wei Zhongxian to clean the Donglin officials, and made contributions, and then he couldn't withstand the pressure of the Donglin officials, he saw that the situation was not good, and fled back to Jiangnan, and continued to live in seclusion.

Yang Xiaoyu thought for a moment, then asked with a smile, "What is Fang Shoufu's opinion?" ”

"Lord Fang has been in poor health recently, he has never been to the court, and he has not expressed his position on the affairs of the court!" Huang Zhongwei replied with a smile.

Yang Xiaoyu nodded, Fang Congzhe, an old fox, wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, wanting to cause infighting in the Donglin Party, and he would stand up again to save the situation.

However, Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others are the main officials of the Donglin Party after all, they can fight for a trivial matter, but they will not be confused on major matters, Fang Congzhe's thoughts, people with vision inside and outside the government and the opposition can see it clearly, how can the Donglin officials who are the authorities not know, in this way, will they still let Fang Congzhe succeed?

Yang Xiaoyu felt that he should talk to Fang Congzhe, he couldn't wait for such nothingness, he should take the initiative to attack, otherwise, the power of the Donglin Party is getting bigger day by day, wouldn't the imperial court have to control the hands of these hypocrites?

Yang Xiaoyu frowned, and asked in a solemn voice, "What is the emperor doing these days?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the officials in the hall changed slightly, and they were silent, Zhou Tong, Bai Chengwang, Cheng Wenfu and others lowered their heads and said nothing.

Ding Chenghu was straightforward and said: "The emperor built a dragon boat, when boating and playing, he accidentally fell into the water, a group of chamberlains rescued the emperor, the imperial doctor prescribed a few pairs of medicines, the emperor recuperated for a few days, the dragon body healed, just a few days later, the emperor built a wooden city gate, with a hundred officials to appreciate, unexpectedly the wooden city gate collapsed, smashed the emperor's legs, the imperial doctor connected the emperor with bones, prescribed a few pairs of medicine is recuperating. ”

No wonder the expressions of everyone in the hall turned out that the carpenter little emperor had done so many things during this time.

The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, and he was accidentally injured twice, which in the eyes of some officials is a sign that God punishes the emperor for not doing his job properly.

Yang Xiaoyu couldn't smile bitterly, this carpenter emperor was really unlucky, boating and playing in the water, it was a happy thing, but he fell into the water, and it was also a beautiful thing to take hundreds of officials to visit the city gate he built, but unexpectedly, the wooden city gate collapsed and hit his leg.
