408 Hard to Accept (2-in-1)
Shen Yichen did not explicitly say that Zhu Ji might be the identity of the inner ghost, because the credibility of many things from other people's mouths is far less true and convinced than what he realized.
Zhu Yi's ability Shen Yichen is clear, and it can even be said that he is the only person he has been deeply afraid of since he came to this era, and his mental strategy has surpassed God's perspective in a sense.
In particular, he used his example as bait to force Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, to give death to his "mother-in-law", which made Shen Yichen very impressive, and he used it in the future.
Including the current imprisonment, in fact, there is also an element of bitter drama, which can promote the blood of the literati of Jingshi and the common enemy.
Zhu Ji has changed so much, Shen Yichen doesn't believe that Zhu Yi didn't notice it at all.
In the face of Shen Yichen's inquiry, the eldest prince Zhu Yi's expression was a little dark, and he sighed and replied, "The second brother may have suffered the blow of Mrs. Lin's death, and he still hasn't come out after a few years."
"That's not what I mean."
Shen Yichen shook his head, Zhu Ji's heart has changed dramatically for several years, and it can be seen from the chain of evidence that he has only been around a year since he caught up with the Mongols.
"Xiangbei, what do you want to say?"
"I suspect that the march route of Tumubao, the Jingshi guards the battle gates, and Zhu Ji has leaked it to the Mongols."
Hearing Shen Yichen's words, Zhu Ji's expression changed instantly. You must know that although the two sides are shouldering the revenge of killing their mothers, this is all the grievances and grievances of the previous generation, at least in the heart of Zhu Yi, who inherited the important responsibility of Chengguo Gong, Zhu Ji is still his brother and a member of the Chengguo Mansion.
The blood connection cannot be separated, even Shen Yichen, a servant child, Zhu Yi has never given up adhering to the concept of the rise and fall of the family, not to mention Zhu Ji, who has grown up with each other since childhood?
"Impossible!"
"Zhu Ji is unlearned, but he will never collaborate with the enemy and commit treason!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Yi vetoed Shen Yichen's statement, the dignified Duke of Ming and his son-in-law collaborated with the enemy and treason, which would definitely become an indelible stain on the Chengguo Mansion, and Zhu Ji's crime would not end there.
In the face of Zhu Yi's fierce reaction, Shen Yichen behaved very calmly, which was actually expected by him.
Zhu Yi is the heir to the concept of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and attaches more importance to the family concept and blood inheritance, so he cannot easily accept and accept Zhu Ji's betrayal of the Chengguo Mansion and treason.
I can't give up, and I share the blood of brothers who share honor and disgrace.
Maybe this is the eldest son of the lord, and the family fate that should be borne.
"Grand Master, if I didn't have accurate information, I wouldn't have told you these words."
"At the same time, I believe that with your intelligence, you will be able to discover the strangeness of Zhu Ji, and you will continue to suffer from it!"
Family honor is sometimes a shackle, and there will be a day when the matter of collaborating with the enemy and treason will be exposed, if you can't prepare to cut it early, the reputation of the entire Chengguo Mansion will be dragged into the abyss by Zhu Ji.
Even Shen Yichen had a vague premonition in his heart that the reason why Zhu Ji did this was not for any power and money, but simply to get the pleasure of revenge.
Even if it is finally made public, as long as he can drag the Chengguo Mansion to sink together, his goal has been achieved.
Didn't Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, pay the most attention to the rise and fall of the family in his life?
Then let me, my own son, ruin the proudest honor of your life, and let you feel the unforgettable pain I have experienced!
Looking at Shen Yichen's convincing expression, Zhu Yi also understood that he, the third brother, was not the kind of person who spoke casually.
I saw him take a deep breath, calm down his emotions and the impact he received, and then slowly said, "Xiangbei, what else do you know?"
"Zhu Ji is related to Cao Jixiang, the supervisor of the palace department, and I am afraid that there is a larger force behind it. In addition, he was sent by his grandfather to the border to go through training, and I am afraid that it will become a self-destruction of the Great Wall."
Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, has one good thing, that is, he knows very well that if he wants his descendants not to become the sons and daughters of the Jingshi who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, they must go to the border to undergo the experience of iron and blood.
in order to establish prestige and power in the army, and finally gain a firm foothold in the court.
Under normal circumstances, it is no problem to send Zhu Ji to the border for training, but if he is a female cadre, it will be a big problem.
When the entire defense line of Xuanda was at its worst, only two military towns and main cities were left that were not captured by the Mongols, and the border forts were all swept and destroyed. Even if the Mongol army has now retreated to Mobei, it is not easy to recover in a short period of time.
Fortunately, it is winter, and it is difficult for the Mongolian cavalry to plunder, otherwise the Xuanda defense line without an early warning system will be full of flames.
Listening to Shen Yichen's warning, Zhu Yi was silent. Reason told him that this matter was most likely true, and it was true that before and after the Battle of Tumubao, there were strangers around Zhu Ji, but he didn't investigate and pay too much attention.
But emotionally, Zhu Yi was a little difficult to accept, and she didn't know how to tell her father about this matter.
After a long time, Zhu Yi returned to normal, raised her head and looked at Shen Yichen and said, "Let's talk about this later, let's go back to the house first."
"Yes, Grand Prince."
Shen Yichen didn't insist, he knew that this kind of thing was really unacceptable, especially under the premise that he didn't have conclusive evidence at the moment.
However, through today's dialogue, I believe that Zhu Yi can have a bottom in her heart, and she only needs to wait for Zhu Ji to show her flaws again in the future.
Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky!
Walking through the dark corridor of the Imperial Prison, Shen Yichen saw Chen Qingtong standing in the courtyard waiting, but when the outermost two gates of the Imperial Prison slowly opened, there was a scene that surprised Shen Yichen.
As far as the eye can see, there are at least hundreds of scholars from Jingshi, standing quietly in front of the gate of the Imperial Prison.
When he saw Shen Yichen's figure, he bowed down.
"The student meets Shen Ge Lao!"
That's right, they were outside the noon gate, after hearing the emperor's amnesty oracle, they went to the edict to greet Shen Yichen's Jingshi Juzi and Guozijian students.
Shen Yichen's acquittal symbolizes the victory of etiquette and morality, and the victory of the dignity of scholars!
Especially the first person, after seeing Shen Yichen, his whole body trembled uncontrollably with excitement. He is He Wendao, who had communicated with Shen Yichen at the West Lake Yaji, and now that he sees his spiritual leader again, the feeling is indescribable.
"It's my honor that all the talented people can come to greet me, Shen, thank you here!"
Shen Yichen didn't put on the old man's shelf, and bowed very humbly and bowed back to the literati present. In a high position, you should always remember Corporal Lixian, otherwise it is easy to lose yourself in power and desire.
"Shen Ge Lao is for the country and the people, why do you need to say thank you."
"Elder Shen Ge is not afraid of power and power, and we should be waiting."
"Be an official like an old man, be loyal to your family and country, bear morality, and pass on your style forever!"
All kinds of praise are endless, and Shen Yichen is not afraid of the Empress Dowager's defense of the dignity of the Ming Dynasty, which has become more and more exaggerated among the literati subgroup.
In particular, the students who rushed to take the exam and Guozijian were mainly young people, and they had not been polluted by the turbid officialdom, full of ideals and enthusiasm, and they regarded Shen Yichen as their goal and idol.
Originally, Shen Yichen just wanted to leave with a few polite words, but when he saw He Wendao's familiar face, looked at the eyes full of hope, and saw the hot heart.
He knew he needed to say something at this moment.
"Everyone's praise, Shen is a little frightened, I don't know if I can afford it."
"Instead of boasting about righteousness, Shen wants to use his own experience to tell you that righteousness and ideals will not disappear, will not change because of wealth, and will not compromise because of power."
"Whether it is a centurion or a scholar, when faced with injustice and power, dare to remember his original intention and uphold justice, and dare to fight and fight, so as to usher in a truly harmonious world for the public."
"I am willing to forge ahead with you!"
The biting cold wind blew endlessly Shen Yichen's fiery heart. He doesn't
Knowing how much the literati present can understand today's words, I only hope that this group of people will pass the imperial examination in the coming days and become officials.
When I can face injustice and power, I can't help but recall that there was a day when there was heavy snow, and I heard someone's cry of protest.
There have been countless feudal dynasties for thousands of years, but in fact, the entire fate is much the same, from the founding of the country to the prosperity, then to the middle decline, until the end of the dynasty. No matter how wise and martial the emperor has appeared, and the ministers who are the pillars of the country, they will eventually become the dust of history.
In the past, Shen Yichen thought that after he was in a high position, he would take the world as his own responsibility, so that the people would no longer be displaced, hungry and cold. Now he realizes that in order to break this historical law, the only way to break this historical law is to establish a more advanced system, and more like-minded people are needed.
There's still a long way to go.
At the same time, outside the border town of Datong, the battle between the Ming cavalry and the chasing soldiers of the tile spurs was quickly divided.
Boyan Timur had not participated in the tribute of the Tile Thorn Mission before, and did not know that there would be a Ming army of this size outside the Datong Pass, which was completely unexpected.
However, the target of his robbery and killing of the Tatar envoy this time was the crown prince Mengke, and now that the task has been completed, as for the life and death of the Tatar envoys, it is completely irrelevant. In the face of the powerful Ming cavalry team, after a few battles, Boyan Timur gave the order to retreat.
As for the Ming army Guo Deng's side, it was a sudden encounter, and he didn't know the number of soldiers and horses. The Fengsui Border Fort system was damaged, and it completely lost its intelligence advantage over Mongolia, and did not dare to pursue rashly in heavy snowy weather.
In case the other party has an ambush, it may be that the thousands of people in the greeting team will not return.
"General Guo, you can't let the Watt Thorns just leave!"
Temur is deep in Han culture, once studied in the Beijing Siyi Pavilion, when Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen called Datong to close the door, he saw Guo Deng on the city wall from a distance, and knew that the other party was the general soldier of Datong.
Immediately rode a horse to Guo Deng's face, and said this to him anxiously.
"Tatar envoys, there is an old saying in the Central Plains, called poor Kou Mo Chasing."
Guo Deng subconsciously thought that the other party wanted to take revenge with the help of the power of the Ming army, so he waved his hand and refused.
"The crown prince is in their hands, if they don't take advantage of the situation now, when the tile spurs and horses return to the camp, there will be no chance!"
What?
Hearing Temur's answer, Guo Deng subconsciously glanced at the rescued Tatar mission, and found that there was indeed no proton wearing a Mengyuan-style dragon pattern costume.
The importance of Crown Prince Mengke is not only known by the prince, but also by Guo Deng.
As long as you control Mengke, you will control the legal system of Mongolia, whether it is to sow discord among the Mongolian tribes in the future, or to conquer the Northern Expedition in the name of Mengke, it can be called a usable trump card.
Just now, I saw that the chasing soldiers of the Tile Spur Department were no more than a thousand people, and the importance of the Mongolian crown prince was worth taking this risk!
"Tatar envoys, you enter Datong Town first, and Ben will lead his troops to recapture Mengke!"
After that, Guo Deng led thousands of cavalry to meet the Tatar mission, and began to pursue the Tile Spur soldiers and horses in the wind and snow of Mobei.
At the scene of the robbery a few miles away, the crown prince Meng Ke stood in place with a frightened face, surrounded by the escorts of the Tatar mission.
These Tatar guards were not killed in fending off the raids of the Tile Spurs. On the contrary, in the face of the humiliation of the Great Khan, coupled with the crown prince's loud shouts to give up resistance, they almost surrendered.
But what Meng Ke never expected was that after the Tatar guards were confiscated, there was a massacre. There is only one goal of the Tile Spur Department this time, that is, to bring Mengke to Western Mongolia, and the others will not survive.
Meng Ke originally naively thought that his uncle sent soldiers and horses to rescue him, but in fact, after the Taishi first suffered the defeat of the Jingshi siege, he had already made up his mind to completely unify the Mongolian tribes and become the next generation of Great Khan and even the Northern Yuan Emperor.
How much is the family relationship between the uncle and the nephew worth in front of the Khan position?
Before Meng could recover from his panic
Come, most of the Boyan Timur, who had just pursued the Tatar mission, rode back with a gallop.
At the same time, Boyan Timur, who was the leader, also shouted: "Batu brought Meng Ke and quickly withdrew, and the Ming army chased and killed!"
Hearing this shout, the guard Meng could and the general of the Tile Thorn Tribe, Batu, who was cleaning up the Tartar guards, was completely stunned when he rode his horse.
Didn't we go after and kill others, how did we become chased by the Ming army?
But almost as Boyan Timur's words fell, a large piece of dust and snow could already be seen in the rear, and the sound of rumbling horses' hooves trampling came to my ears at the same time.
Compared with the long-distance pursuit and the soldiers and horses of the tile spurs, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty led by Guo Deng had better horsepower, and the distance between the two sides was rapidly advancing.
"Take Meng Ke and retreat!"
Seeing that the pursuers were approaching him, Batu finally came to his senses and ordered his subordinates to pull Meng Ke to evacuate first, and he himself was ready to break off with Boyan Timur.
But at this time, there was another thing that everyone didn't expect, the crown prince Meng Ke, who had been extremely cooperative before, suddenly whipped on the horse's back and rushed in the direction of the Ming army.
No matter how stupid Meng Ke is, when he sees the methods of the tile spurs, he should understand that his uncle is no longer a savior.
In comparison, the self-proclaimed state of etiquette, the Ming Kingdom, no matter what, will ensure that his life is worry-free!
