Chapter 172: Shocking Merit
Following.
Early in the morning, there was a decree in the palace that entered the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.
The emperor's grandson called the meritorious marquis of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to enter the palace for interrogation.
After the emperor's grandson came back last night, although he was standing in the shadow behind the emperor's old man, these people could see it clearly.
The emperor's grandson was stained with blood.
This thing is very confusing and unpredictable.
Early in the morning, led by the founding prince Changsheng, the Liangguo prince Lanyu, and the Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, the Marquis of Jingchuan and other meritorious generals of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, they formed a group to step into the gate of the imperial city.
"What the hell happened last night? It's obviously the old man's longevity, why did the emperor's grandson go out and get covered in blood? ”
On the long road behind the Hongwu Gate and in front of the Noon Gate, Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen asked with a worried face.
Obviously, the dozen or so people around him are all comrades in the army, and they are honored and noble. But no one answered Cao Zhen's question.
Cao Zhen frowned: "It shouldn't be played by the emperor's grandson, Tang Li is about to return to Beijing and return to the Governor's Mansion to take charge of the forbidden army." ”
He didn't dare to say that the imperial grandson wanted to force them to divide the power in the army to the Xinguo Gong family, but his eyebrows were full of words, but his thoughts were exposed.
Lan Yu immediately turned around and glared at Cao Zhen.
was about to speak, but he silently looked at Chang Sheng on the side.
Nowadays, the subtle changes in the army, even unintentional people can see that in the past, King Kaiping and his old department of meritorious generals are moving closer to the Chang family again.
Lan Yu knew very well in his heart that such a change was not something he could reverse now.
At least before there was a big war, he could only give up the position of the head of the meritorious generals of the old department of King Kaiping to Chang Sheng.
But it doesn't matter if he returns it to Chang Sheng, it's all his own family for him.
In the final analysis, if there is a big war in the country, Chang Sheng can only sit in the rear of the Governor's Mansion, and he is the general who leads the troops to the battle.

Chang Sheng felt a concession from his uncle.
He turned his head to look at Cao Zhen: "Do you think the imperial grandson will make such a fake trick in front of us?" Can that blood still be chicken blood? Cut off so many heads, can't you see that it is human blood? ”
Cao Zhen was stunned by a series of questions, but he opened his mouth but was powerless to refute.
Cao Guogong Li Jinglong smiled on the side, looked at everyone, and pressed his hand: "Don't worry, everyone, a few days ago, many families have cleared their acres of land and paid half of their land property, and they are even fined money. What is the relationship between the imperial grandson and us? It's a board, and we're also willing to fight and suffer. ”
When he said this, Li Jinglong's gaze silently swept to the Liangguo Gong Lanyu on the side.
A few days ago, Lan Yu was personally ordered by the imperial grandson and scolded a full hundred times.
Looking back, no, there was nothing.
Cao Zhen snorted twice and glanced at Li Jinglong.
Last time, Liang Guogong was beaten by the board, and our people cleared the acres of land and fined money, but your Cao Guogong's is useless!
Are you talking cool things at this time?
These people have never been close to Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong felt that he was a little bored with himself, so he turned his head and continued to walk towards the palace.
He only met with the imperial grandson two days ago, and he even got a promise.
Now everyone in the court knows that Tang Li entered the court on behalf of the Xinguo Mansion and balanced the Governor's Mansion with the Kaiping Wang.
Under these two parties, the Duke of Cao Guo will probably become a henchman who is valued by the emperor's grandson!
Everyone had their own thoughts, all the way to the East Palace.
According to the will of this morning, the imperial grandson is going to see them in the small study of the East Palace.
At this time, in the small study of the East Palace.
Zhu Yunxi was sitting on the chair, his eyes did not move a little, staring directly at a piece of music in front of him, turning a page from time to time.
Behind him, there were two women, Tang Queqing and Mu Caiyun, one left and one right, waiting with their hands together.
Tang Queqing was right to the past, he was the only one who served in this small study, but now there was suddenly an extra Mu Caiyun from the Marquis of Xiping, Yunnan, and he was still a little apprehensive at first.
It's just that after two days, I have also figured out Mu Caiyun's temperament.
This is an ignorant and shy little girl, who can make the little girl blush and embarrassed just by teasing a few words.
It is often a burst of love in my heart.
At this time, Mu Caiyun was very nervous in her heart.
This is the first time since she entered the palace that she has followed behind the imperial grandson to meet those court officials.
hated brother Mu Chun, who has been in front of the emperor and old man all day these days, claiming that he is doing his filial piety.
But for the sake of things, how could she not guess.
It's not to completely finalize the relationship between himself and the emperor's grandson.
The elder brother was afraid that after he returned to Yunnan, he would break his leg if he did not complete the things his father had explained.
At this time.
Yutian, who was guarding outside the small study, shouted.
"Third master, several princes have arrived."
In the small study, Zhu Yunxi's face turned cold instantly, but he didn't say a word.
In the rain field outside, he leaned his ear on the door, looked at the court princes in front of him after half a ring, and smiled apologetically.
"Grandfathers, Hou Masters, and Uncles, go in."
As he spoke, he pushed the door of the small study open.
Lan Yu and the others glanced at each other, took a deep breath, shook their robes, and stepped into the small study.
Everyone came to Zhu Yunxi together.
glanced at the two daughters standing behind the imperial grandson.
One represents the Xinguo Mansion and the other represents the Xiping Marquis Mansion.
But it appeared at the same time under today's scene, and everyone was guessing and waking up in their hearts.
They are not the only meritorious generals in the court!
Led by Lan Yu, Chang Sheng, and Li Jinglong, everyone clasped their hands and fists: "The ministers see the imperial grandson, and the imperial grandson is a thousand years old." ”
Zhu Yunxi didn't say a word, and quietly looked up at the meritorious generals in front of him who couldn't look at him because they bowed.
Today is to knock them out.
Let them do that for a while.
Lan Yu and the others were already very puzzled in their hearts.
It's just that Zhu Yunxi didn't speak, and they didn't dare to get up arrogantly.
And maintaining such a posture, once it takes a long time, even if they are generals in the army, they feel that their waists are strained.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi spoke: "It's all here." ”
This is not the usual performance of the imperial grandson towards them.
Lan Yu and the others were suspicious, so they slowly got up.
Zhu Yunxi glanced at everyone: "Last night, Lone took Jinyiwei to kill someone. ”
He is now the grandson of Emperor Daming, and he should be alone.
It's just that as soon as these words came out, it completely explained the doubts in the hearts of Lan Yu and the others before, what did the imperial grandson go to do last night.
Chang Sheng spoke immediately: "I don't know who the imperial grandson killed last night?" ”
Zhu Yunxi looked at the second uncle, and his eyes were a little deep: "The envoy of the Ashikaga family of the Northern Dynasty, the traitor of the Japanese court, plotted against him, and absconded from the city last night, in a vain attempt to kill my Ming people, and led people out of the city to kill them alone. ”
It's for this.
Chang Sheng was the first to react.
Yesterday, the Ashikaga plum butterfly was escorted out of the palace by the forbidden army and handed over to the Jinyi guard to be held in the post house.
If it is a fault, it should also be the fault of Jinyiwei.
It's just that a few days ago, the emperor's grandson confessed that he had dispatched soldiers who were good at water and good at fighting in the army, and ordered Longjiang Shipyard to gather warships. He had some insights at this time, but looking at Zhu Yunxi's face, he secretly suppressed it and never brought up this matter.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi had already knocked lightly on the table.
A soft sound seemed to knock on the hearts of everyone present.
Zhu Yunxi said coldly: "The dignified Ming Jingshi, escorted by hundreds of thousands of troops, can actually make a thousand envoys abscond out of the city. Did the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty eat dry rice, or did the Governor's Mansion have been abandoned all these years, and they only care about pleasure and encroach on the people's fields in their hometown? ”
It's really a question of sin!
Suddenly, everyone, including Chang Sheng, knelt down.
"The capital offense of the ministers caused the thieves to flee out of the city."
"You guys are damned!" Zhu Yunxi said without stopping, and Sen Sen said: "According to the old man's meaning, he wants to take a few heads." If you don't feel alone, you are all meritorious to the country, meritorious to the country, and now you can still contribute to the country. Lone will never plead for you in front of the old man! ”
The old man really moved to kill.
For a while, everyone's hearts became more and more nervous.
Chang Sheng, as the leader of the meritorious generals in the court who is now present, had no choice but to speak: "The ministers are guilty, the crime is negligence, and the crime is not strict under the emperor, causing the thieves to abscond out of the city." ”
Zhu Yunxi's face was gloomy: "You are indeed guilty." Your Majesty asked, if you can ask the thieves to abscond out of the city today, will you be able to let the thieves sneak into the imperial city tomorrow! ”
These words have been extremely heavy, and they almost scolded the founding meritorious generals present as waste.
Chang Sheng knelt on the ground and led the people to plead guilty.
"Ministers who fail to live up to the grace of God are guilty of capital crimes."
Zhu Yunxi patted the table: "Your Majesty is kind this time, which can be regarded as forgiving you." But the capital is important, and you can't slack off like this. From today on, don't think about going home and living the life of a rich man. They all went to Beijing to sit in the town, practiced, and rectified, and they were not allowed to go out without orders. ”
Cao Zhen and others were relieved.
Chang Sheng also took the lead in bowing and said: "The ministers thank the holy grace and thank the emperor for his forgiveness." ”
At this time, Zhu Yunxi said again: "Tang Li will return to Beijing in the next two days. If you drill and rectify in the Beijing camp, the governor's office of the five armies will be handed over to him to rectify. If there is a thief coming and going freely in Ying Tiancheng next time, it will be difficult for Lonely to protect You! ”
This is to beat forgiveness, and make it clear to them, after Tang Li returns to Beijing, the people in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies will inevitably be arranged by Tang Li to enter the Xinguo Mansion.
This is to tell them in advance to get along with each other.
Chang Sheng and others can only respond sincerely.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi slowly leaned back in his chair.
"The New Year's Festival is coming, and the local government has paid a lot of good silk before the New Year. Settle down as you practice and straighten out in the camp. Turning back, the lonely club asked the Tang lady to take people to send some silk to each family, and the sons and daughters of the family made a few new clothes for the festival. ”
In the homes of the meritorious marquis of the Ming Dynasty, there was a shortage of satin fabrics for making new clothes.
But everyone knows that the point is that the imperial grandson wants Tang Nuguan, that is, Tang Queqing, the eldest granddaughter of the Duke of Xinguo, to send these gifts to each family.
This is again a gesture of goodwill made after the beating.
Sending some materials for making clothes is something that only people close to you do.
Chang Sheng's heart became more and more satisfied at this time.
Although he knew that even if he was Zhu Yunxi's second uncle, the court would never allow the Chang family to dominate.
And the imperial grandson is now very skillful in beating the reward, and he has never lost this closeness, he is already satisfied.
The crowd immediately thanked him.
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "Let's go, get organized, and get a good grasp of the soldiers in the drill camp." ”
And when they were about to get up and leave.
Zhu Yunxi suddenly spoke: "Cao Guogong stays." ”
