Since the breakthrough of Tumubao, according to the countermeasures discussed before, Zhang Fu, Kuang Wei and some generals led 10,000 horses into Datong, and the rest of the men and horses took the rest of the 100 officials back to Beijing.

After entering Datong, Zhang Fu designed to take down Shi Heng, the chief soldier of Datong, and Guo Jing, the supervising army.

The endings of the two are also very different.

According to Zhu Qizhen's layout, Shi Heng was only imprisoned in the name of the crime of defeat in the thirteenth year of orthodoxy and the private service sergeant.

Guo Jing, on the other hand, was imprisoned on the charge of colluding with Warat.

This move made the Datong border army, which was already panicked by the defeat, even more uneasy.

But fortunately, with 10,000 Beijing battalions in charge, plus a British public and military secretary, there was no chaos.

His Majesty late at night, the General Soldier's Mansion.

Zhang Fu and Kuang Yu glanced at each other, sighed, and looked to the north together.

"Ben Bing, there is news from the imperial court, let you and I deal with it cheaply."

Both of them knew that the focus of the court was no longer on this matter.

"Ben Bing, there is one thing that the old man has never understood, since His Majesty has already established a crown prince, why didn't he announce it to the world, but secretly brought the holy decree back to Beijing."

Zhang Fu asked in a low voice.

Zhang Fu thought about this for a long time, but he didn't think about the truth clearly.

Kuang pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

There are too many taboos in this, you can't say it, you can't say it, you can only understand it.

"Grandpa, grandpa......"

Anxious shouts came from outside the door.

"Come in."

It was Datong avant-garde who commanded Ji Duo.

With the fall of Shi Heng, this little-known commander became the leader of the Datong army with the support of Zhang Fu and others.

From the commander of the guards to the actual general army of Datong, this cannot but be said to be a step to the sky.

Ji Duo knows that his position is unstable, which of the generals and deputy generals of Datong Mansion can convince him?

If you want to stabilize your position, the only way is to go to the bigwigs from Beijing.

This is also the reason why Zhang Fu and others chose Ji Duo.

Zhang Fu and the others were very surprised by Ji Duo who arrived late at night: "Master Ji, what's wrong, but what's wrong?" ”

Ji Duo was out of breath, "Grandpa, this soldier, the Warat people, the Warat people sent a letter, saying, it is His Majesty's letter, and also, there is also a sword sent to His Majesty." ”

First of all, he was a particular person, and in order to increase his credibility, he also sent Edgeworth as proof.

Zhang Fu and Kuang Yu were shocked almost at the same time.

Kwong opened the letter almost tremblingly.

Kuang Yu once lectured to Zhu Qizhen and recognized Zhu Qizhen's handwriting.

"It's His Majesty's handwriting, it's His Majesty's ......"

Kwong's shoulders twitched.

Your Majesty, he is really alive.

The two old men who were up and down in the sea cried at the same time.

"God bless my emperor, God bless my emperor......"

That night, an 800-mile expedited letter from His Majesty rushed back to Beijing overnight.

Zhu Qiyu went down to the court, and Xing'an followed behind, preparing to leave the palace and return home.

Since learning that the Son of Heaven is missing, the atmosphere in the court has become more and more strange in the past few days.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while, stopped, and said, "Today, I went to the palace of the concubine, and I had to talk to the concubine about it. ”

Although Zhu Qiyu knew in his heart that at this sensitive moment, whether it was a minister of the foreign dynasty or the Empress Dowager Sun in the palace just now, he would not believe that he simply came to the palace to visit his mother.

But so what?

Today's court is no longer the Ming Dynasty hall of a few days ago.

Besides, he does have some things to say, and he needs to talk about them with Concubine Wu Xian.

If the only person in this world he can consult, the only one is his own concubine.

The Jingyang Palace where Concubine Wu Xian lived was in the northeast corner of the palace, a long distance from the Wenhua Palace, almost across half of the palace, so she walked for half an hour.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw a middle-aged female official waiting at the door. The man saw himself coming from afar, and he stepped forward with two steps.

"Slave Xiuzhu, I've seen Your Highness."

This is the female official in charge of Jingyang Palace, and she is also the confidant of Concubine Wu Xian, who has watched Zhu Qiyu grow up since she was a child, and has been with the Wu family since she was a child.

Zhu Qiyu stood in front of the door of Jingyang Palace, and the total number of eunuchs and maids in the entire palace was only twenty, just like a cold palace.

Thinking of the Empress Dowager Sun's Cining Palace, countless people want to go in, and every day please Andu is like a busy traffic, and the door here is really a world of difference.

is a huge imperial city, Zhu Qiyu also has feelings for this Jingyang Palace, and this is also the place where he comes the most except for the palace of the king of Yu.

For most of the day, he met many people and heard a lot of news.

"Ahem......" A cold wind blew, causing Zhu Qiyu to cough.

"Your Highness has been weak since childhood, if you suffer from the wind again, how can you get it, you will definitely get a serious illness.

Xing'an, what are you still stunned about, why don't you hurry up and help the prince in. ”

On the other end, Xiuzhu frowned and chattered.

She was taken by Concubine Xian Niangniang just a few years after entering the palace, and became Niangniang's personal palace maid, and has been following Concubine Xian Niangniang, who has been going on for more than 20 years along the way, and has also raised Zhu Qiyu.

Others didn't dare to say much in front of Zhu Qiyu because of his status as a prince, but Xiuzhu counted him down, but he didn't have a soft mouth at all.

Zhu Qiyu knew that this aunt had a knife mouth and a tofu heart, but when she heard it, she couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth in her heart.

"Auntie, how are you doing these days?" ”

But even so, first the son died unexpectedly, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and then he took away the honorific title and put him under house arrest in the palace. The last few years of the Wu family were also extremely difficult. This sentence "Is the mother concubine good?" ”

Xiuzhu greeted Zhu Qiyu and replied while entering the hall: "Niangniang is fine, but I am worried about His Highness."

The weather has been getting cooler these days, and the mother is worried every day, for fear that His Royal Highness will have this old coughing problem, and I have seen that there has been a lot more white hair in the past few days. ”

Qingzhu said as she led Zhu Qiyu in.

"Niangniang's body is still healthy, but it has been cold these days, and Niangniang is afraid of cold, so the slave maid let Niangniang live in the warm pavilion in advance and burn the earth dragon."

The furnishings and layout of Jingyang Palace, compared with Cining Palace, are much simpler and clearer.

Concubine Wu Xian has a weak temperament, whether it is the furnishings in the palace or the number of attendants, she doesn't care much, she wants to be clean.

Second, the current Concubine Wu Xian is just a concubine of the first emperor in the harem, although the Empress Dowager Sun did not deliberately embarrass her, but she is still low-key.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the palace, he saw the Wu family walking out with the support of the palace people.

"Niangniang, Your Highness is here."

"I've seen my mother."

Zhu Qiyu saluted, with a smile on his face.

Wu Shi didn't look very well, a little haggard, but when he saw Zhu Qiyu, there was a sense of joy between his eyebrows.

Concubine Wu Xian took Zhu Qiyu's hand and entered the hall, and the two sat down in the hall and kept asking about Zhu Qiyu's body.

"How's your body lately? It's dawn these days, don't catch a cold.

Why haven't you seen you for a few days, and you've lost a lot of weight, Xing'an, how did you serve your own master? ”

Concubine Wu Xian nagged like an ordinary mother.

Xing'an stood aside, bowing his head and not answering.
