The Ming Dynasty is a dignified second-class official, a feudal official, and a square uncle.

He threw himself into the fire and was martyred.

Even those Jinyi guards who were murderous like hemp, saw Zhou Rong, the political envoy of Henan Province, throw himself into the sea of fire, and their faces showed shocked expressions.

Zhou Rong's movements were fast, almost not giving people a chance to react and block, and he jumped straight into the ruins of the high-rise building that collapsed to the ground and was still burning.

He even struggled towards the depths of the fire with his whole body on fire.

In a short time, he was swallowed up by the entire sea of fire, and his figure disappeared from people's sight. Faintly, a few screams began to come from the sea of fire, and after a little longer, there was only a muffled sound, with a cloud of sparks, splashing out of the sea of fire.

There is no shortage of miracles in this world, but Zhou Rong's ending was only burned by the raging fire, turning into a cloud of ashes, and with a gust of wind that followed, it drifted between heaven and earth and turned into nothing.

Pan Boyong was completely stunned by Zhou Rong's actions.

He opened his mouth wide and inhaled deeply, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Zhou Rong, as the political envoy of Henan Daobu, set himself on fire, although it was tragic, but he also died happily and had no worries.

But what about him Pan Boyong?

Pan Boyong's jaw had already begun to tremble, and he raised his head to take a look, and there were already several brocade guards scattered around him silently, as if he was afraid that he would find a happy end like Zhou Rong.

At this time, Pan Boyong was already in his heart, and cursed Zhou Rong, who had probably turned into nothing at this time, from the inside out.

Originally, Zhou Rong was there, and the imperial grandson would be held accountable in every way, and Zhou Rong would be in front of him and bear it with all his might.

But now, Zhou Rong, who is taller than himself, has died, and he has suddenly become the tallest person in the entire Henan Province.

Pan Boyong couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, and when he turned his gaze, he saw that the imperial grandson had turned his head and looked at him silently.

Pan Boyong's heart suddenly jumped.

Zhu Yunxi had already spoken softly: "Does Pan Zhaocha also want to learn from Zhou Fangbo?" ”

Zhu Yunxi's tone was gloomy and threatening.

However, only he knew in his heart how surprised Zhou Rong was at his sudden hiding in the sea of fire.

Originally, since these Henan Provincial officials rushed over, he had been silently observing the actions and reactions of these people. Zhou Rong has been struggling, perhaps because he still has a conscience, or because he was afraid of death at that time, or because he suddenly woke up.

And Zhu Yunxi is also ready to use Zhou Rong as the entry point to open up the situation in Henan Province, so as to see this muddy underwater thing thoroughly.

It's just that Zhou Rong is already hiding in the sea of fire.

The Henan Provincial Inspector in front of him became the one who knew the most.

Pan Boyong just glanced at Zhu Yunxi, then hurriedly lowered his head in a panic and slapped his hands on the ground.

"The sin of the minister deserves death."

Zhu Yunxi patted Pan Boyong on the shoulder: "What the crime should be, you know better than Lone." The two departments of Henan Province are here tonight, and if there is anything, you will explain it yourself and write it clearly. ”

Pan Boyong kept slamming his head on the ground: "The criminal obeys the lesson and knows everything." ”

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "Lonely." ”

After a low groan, Zhu Yunxi was already walking towards the distance.

The footsteps are getting farther and farther and lighter, but Pan Boyong feels that his heart is really pressed.

The person who was about to find the brocade guard confessed his guilt.

Pan Boyong heard the voice of the imperial grandson in the darkness behind him.

"Unload the twenty-one corpses, and the good ones will be tossed into this way, and they will be buried with dignity."

Pan Boyong trembled slightly when he heard this.

The footsteps finally disappeared completely.

Pan Boyong was also drained of all his strength, and he lay on the ground with a wail, sweat on his face like rain, and his whole body kept trembling.

The crowd began to disperse, like a beheaded fire dragon, collapsing in the ruins of a tall building in the courtyard, and the flames began to slowly turn from incandescent back to orange yellow, and then dim and small little by little.

In the darkness of the night, all the movement began to become cautious.

Pan Boyong stood up slowly, just one got up, and exhausted the strength of Pan Boyong's whole body, and when he finally stood up straight, the whole person was a whole circle old.

Several officers and soldiers of the brocade guards took two steps silently.

Pan Boyong sighed lightly and looked at the people who were cleaning up the twenty-one corpses under the corridor.

"If His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun wants to know, I will say it and write it down." Pan Boyong's voice was whispered in vicissitudes, his expression was dark, and his face was dead.

A brocade guard sneered: "What we ask, you can say." ”

Pan Boyong raised his head blankly and looked at the brocade guard who was talking in front of him.

Pan Boyong nodded distractedly.

Then, he stretched out his hands, as if to accept some.

The officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Guard smiled again: "Now in Kaifeng Mansion, no one can go out." ”

Pan Boyong suddenly laughed, withdrew his hands, waved his robe, and put his hands together.

The brocade-clothed guard snorted and waved his hand.

"Let's go."

……

At this point, there have been warnings in Kaifeng Mansion to beat the guard.

And the Kaifeng Mansion and the Houya finally quieted down.

Zhu Yunxi, who left from the back office, said that he was tired, but he did not sleep.

The smell of charcoal is everywhere in the whole mansion, and it is impossible to treat people at this time.

Zhu Yunxi walked from the mansion to the street outside with a calm face, and looked sideways at the side streets.

I saw that the officers of the various divisions and yamen in the city of Kaifeng Mansion had gathered outside the interception of the accompanying officers and soldiers.

On the side of the side street, there is also a blank area, and the accompanying officers and soldiers are using the pressurized water trucks brought by the firefighters of the Kaifeng Prefecture fire prevention squad at the beginning to wash the road.

"The statistics that have just been completed, the two divisions of Henan Province, the yamen of various departments of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the officials with good quality are all present tonight, and they are now all being detained and interrogated."

Zhu Gaochi clasped his hands together, fell behind Zhu Yunxi, and walked out of the Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhu Yunxi never looked back, just looked at the officers and soldiers who were stopped by the officers and soldiers, and because of their appearance, they kept carefully lowering their heads and retreating backwards.

"Let them rest tonight, and tomorrow they will start to take over the affairs of the two divisions of Henan Province and the yamen of Kaifeng Prefecture."

Zhu Gaochi's eyes flickered twice, and he said in a low voice: "Henan Road suddenly encounters such a big change, and there will inevitably be a lot of noise outside. ”

Zhu Yunxi's brows sank: "Let Tang Bi bring someone to Kaifeng Mansion." And Yu Ma, is there any news from his side. ”

"The order to call Tang Bi to Kaifeng Mansion has been sent to Chenliu County before entering the city today. The people on his side were originally helping Pei Benzhi to help with the disaster and transfer it, and it would probably not be carried out until tomorrow. ”

Zhu Gaochi whispered, his palm moved in his sleeve, and then he took out a document and handed it to Zhu Yunxi: "Yu Ma went to the document contact early in the morning, he has been out to rectify military affairs since he took office as the Henan Metropolitan Division, and now that he has the news that we have entered the city, he will rush back in a few days." ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded.

Tonight, it can be said that the entire Henan Road is served in one pot, and you can know it with your feet, and this matter will inevitably cause an uproar in Henan Road.

It's just that what this turmoil will be, and in what direction it will develop in the absence of a leader, is unknown.

It is precisely for this reason that at this time, you need to have enough strength in your hands to deal with the unexpected that may happen at any time.

Zhu Gaochi said in a low voice at this time: "Not long after the officials of Henan Province entered the government tonight, in addition to these servants from the yamen, there are many people who are hiding and secretly observing here. ”

"What is it?"

Zhu Yunxi spoke, looking up at the dark area around the street.

Zhu Gaochi said with a low smile: "There are the gentry of Kaifeng Mansion, there are also businessmen with a lot of wealth, and there are countless families with good land. ”

These are unsurprising forces.

Zhu Yunxi turned his head to look at the northwest of Kaifeng Mansion.

Over there, it is the old Song Palace, and now the Ming Zhou Palace.

Zhu Gaochi whispered worriedly: "Tonight's matter, I still have to write a good piece overnight, and send it to the sky urgently, you have done such a big job, I can't wipe your ass for you, and I have to rely on our old man." ”

"In addition, the chief officials of the two divisions of Henan Province also need to be selected by the old man, and we can't be the master of this matter."

"My father doesn't know when he will receive the official letter for the transfer of troops, and I'm afraid that it won't be possible in a month to go back and forth. I just hope that during this time, nothing will happen again. ”

Zhu Gao chattered non-stop, and all kinds of checks and supplements were made up for what happened in the Kaifeng Mansion tonight.

But Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at the street in the distance.

I only heard the sound of horses' hooves in the darkness of the street, and then there was a firelight, and then I saw a group of officers and soldiers, under the command of many army generals and colonels, approaching Kaifeng Mansion.

"Whoever comes, report the military number."

Some officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Guard, who were on guard around the Kaifeng Mansion, began to shout at the army that suddenly appeared.

"Qinci Henan Province commanded the envoy Si Yuma, and heard that His Royal Highness the Emperor's grandson entered the city and was attacked, and the minister specially led the troops back to the city to guard."

On the other side of the cordon, there was a commotion.

A smile appeared on Zhu Yunxi's face.

What I was really worried about in Henan Province finally didn't happen.

Yu Ma was able to lead the troops into the city at this time, which is enough to show that he has basically mastered the military horses of the upper and lower guards of the Henan Metropolitan Division, and suppressed those generals who have been in Henan Province for a long time.

As long as the military horses of Henan Province are not chaotic, then even if something big happens, it will be enough to calm down.

Zhu Yunxi stepped forward lightly and walked over to Yu Ma, who was leading the troops into the city.

Outside the cordon, Yu Ma, who was riding on horseback, took advantage of the fire in the palace to see the imperial grandson who had not been seen for a long time, and after hearing that he had signed up, he raised his steps to greet him, and his heart was hot, and he immediately urged the war horse under him to the outside of the cordon controlled by the Jinyi guard.

Then, the horse's hooves did not stop, and the horse had already turned over and dismounted.

Jinyiwei and Yulinwei both belong to the Shangzhi pro-military guard.

Before last year, Yu Ma had always been the commander of Yulinwei, and he was very familiar with the people of Jinyiwei.

The officers and soldiers of the brocade guards on the cordon let Yu Ma go.

And Yu Ma didn't dare to stop at all, and stepped forward quickly, which can be said to be five steps and two steps in front of Zhu Yunxi.

He shook his robe, raised his skirt armor, and knelt in front of Zhu Yunxi on one knee with his hands clenched into fists.

"The ministers were late to welcome the guards, and they almost caused His Highness to fall into the fire."

"This is the fault of the minister."

"The minister will find out the arson for His Highness, and the people behind him who are plotting against him!"

Yu Ma's voice was very loud, as if he was making a military order before the battle.

The smile on Zhu Yunxi's face became even richer.

Yu Ma said with confidence and sound, this is what he hopes to see in this Henan Dusi.

After Yu Ma, the generals who followed him into the city had already dismounted and walked outside the cordon of the brocade guards.

"The last general will see His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson."

All the generals have loud voices, like Hong Zhong Da Lu, shocking. The loud voices of the generals gathered together one by one, and finally resounded throughout the entire Kaifeng City.

Zhu Yunxi raised his eyes and looked over.

On weekdays, it is easy to distinguish between rank and inferiority in the military, as well as civilian officials. Only in wartime, the generals will dress up like ordinary officers and soldiers.

This is to ensure that the generals will not become a live target for the enemy because they are too ostentatious and swaggering in the battle formation.

Obviously, the generals of the Henan Provincial Guard Station who fell in Zhu Yunxi's sight at this moment could not distinguish between the rank and inferiority.

I can only see some distinctions from the plain and colorless armor on my body.

"Get up."

"You are wearing armor in the starry night, entering the city to guard, and you are very lonely."

When he said this, Zhu Yunxi had already walked to Yu Ma's side, gently patted his finger on the gold-swallowing beast on the other party's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Get up." ”

Yu Ma nodded and stood up.

Zhu Yunxi walked out from behind the Jinyi guards and went to the generals of the Henan Provincial Guards.

"Get up, when everything in Henan Province is finished, I invite you to eat wine in a big bowl."

"The last general commands, thanksgiving."

The generals roared like thunder, and they all stood up with their armor on their heads.

Yu Ma also walked to Zhu Yunxi's side from behind: "Your Highness, the minister suddenly heard about the city tonight, and he didn't prepare, so he had to lead 5,000 troops into the city." However, the minister has issued a military order from the Henan Metropolitan Division, and within three days, more than 10,000 troops and horses will enter the city to protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Emperor's grandson. ”

There are more than 10,000 troops and horses.

Zhu Yunxi nodded, thinking that this is probably all the available manpower that Yu Ma has in Henan Province now.

He stretched out his hand and patted Yu Ma's shoulder again: "Henan Dusi is loyal and filial, brave and brave, and he remembers it alone." ”

Instead, Zhu Yunxi whispered in front of his eyes again: "Tang Bi will probably lead five thousand Lin Wei into the city tomorrow, and the two of you can also get together at that time." ”

Yu Ma nodded, there was already news about the arrival of Tang Bi, an old friend.

The reason why the imperial grandson said this at this moment must be to join forces with Tang Bi and control the situation around Kaifeng Mansion.

He received the order in a low voice, and then issued military orders to the generals who followed into the city tonight, and each went to the city wall of Kaifeng Mansion to take charge of the defense of the city and control the city gates.

Wait until all is done.

Yu Ma spoke again: "Tonight, the Kaifeng Mansion was set on fire by thieves, does His Royal Highness want to go to the Dusi Yamen to stay and rest?" ”

Zhu Yunxi only remembered again at this time that he hurriedly entered Kaifeng Mansion with stars and moons, and he still hadn't found a place to settle down for himself.

I was about to speak.

On one side of the street, there was another commotion.

This time, the brocade guards who were on guard did not make a sound to stop them.

Because on the street, there are several big flags with the word Zhou written on them, as well as the reliance on the forbidden streets and opening roads that only the Ming Prince's Mansion has, and Heng Chen appeared under the gaze of people.

Except that there are no gongs and drums, it is almost equivalent to the prince leaving the house.

Zhu Gaochi whispered on the side: "It's the fifth uncle's team." ”

Zhu Yunxi turned his eyes to look over, and also said in a faint voice: "Do you think the fifth uncle will be here?" ”

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help frowning and glanced at Zhu Yunxi, and for a moment he really couldn't grasp what Brother Xi meant.

However, it doesn't take more thought from the two of them.

I had already walked to the palace not far away, and there was already a familiar voice.

"What about the king's nephew!"

"Who is so bold that he dares to set fire to the Kaifeng Mansion, is it really unbelievable?"

"Brother Xi! His Royal Highness! ”

"Brother Xi'er ......"

Standing solemnly beside Zhu Yunxi with a knife, as if Yu Ma was guarding himself with Taisun, his face was full of surprise.

He served as an official commander in Kaifeng Mansion for a long time, and he had met His Royal Highness King Zhou a lot, but he had never seen King Zhou have such a look.

Zhu Yunxi smiled helplessly, and didn't wait for himself to walk over to greet him.

in the crowd.

The corner of the underwear came out, and Zhu Hu, who knocked on his chest, rushed to Zhu Yunxi with a worried face.

didn't wait for Zhu Yunxi to speak.

Zhu Hu snatched the words: "The minister has not been far away to welcome His Royal Highness, the Zhou Wangfu is slow to wait for His Royal Highness to stay and rest, so that His Royal Highness suffered a fire in the Kaifeng Mansion, the minister deserves death, fortunately blessed by the heavens, His Royal Highness is safe and sound, and the minister asks His Royal Highness to move to the Zhou Wangfu to stay and rest, in order to nourish his mind, and to worry about the worries of millions of subjects in Henan Province." ”

Zhu Yunxi's face was tense, and he took two steps forward, and the distance between him and Zhu Hu was the closest.

He also said in a small voice: "Zhou Wangfu bothered, and my nephew thanked the fifth uncle." ”

Zhu Hu still lowered his head at this time, and whispered: "There are many people around, and they have something to say in the palace." ”

Zhu Yunxi also nodded and stopped making a sound.

At that end, Zhu Gaochi also began to greet the accompanying team, and with Yu Ma personally leading the troops to escort him, he followed the honor guard of the Zhou Palace, and went to the Zhou Palace, northwest of Kaifeng Mansion.

In the second half of the night, everyone finally entered the gate of King Zhou's mansion.

As the brocade guards stood guard outside the palace gate, the palace gate was tightly closed in the rumbling sound, which really blocked all the sleepless people in the deep darkness.

And Zhu Yunxi, who entered the Zhou Palace, was led all the way to the front hall of the palace by Zhu Hu.

At this time, Zhu Hu turned around and looked at Zhu Yunxi up and down.

The mouth is even more vibrant: "It's okay, it's okay, if something happens, the old man is afraid that he will be furious." ”

Zhu Yunxi looked at the fifth uncle who didn't know how much truth he had, and was worried about himself.

He said in a low voice: "Fifth uncle, the matter is not over yet. ”

Zhu Hu, who originally wanted to stretch out his hand and further confirm that Zhu Yunxi was okay, suddenly stopped.

He was a little uncertain and said, "It's not over yet?" Is this just the beginning? ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded and sighed: "Now that Henan Province is a group of dragons without a leader, it is just right to see clearly which people will be at a loss because of this." ”

At this moment, Zhu Hu heard that there were people in Jinyi outside the palace, loudly passing orders back and forth, and tonight he would arrest the relatives of the two divisions of Henan Province and the yamen officials of the various divisions of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Its scope affects the nine tribes.

Zhu Hu couldn't help but shudder.

This darkness seems to be getting longer and longer......
