"Take the head of the father and plead guilty to the court."

Li Wenxiang's voice echoed in the room, making Li Bengan's eyes continue to amplify.

In addition to being shocked, Li Bengan also somewhat understood why his father had such a decision.

It's just that Li Bengan smiled bitterly: "Father, don't talk about what we have to do." That's what our family has done over the years, do you really think the court will let our family go? ”

Li Wenxiang looked at the eldest son in front of him, who had high hopes, and his already solemn face became more and more gloomy.

"Yes...... Li Wenxiang sighed: "Once some things are done, there is no turning back." On this road, we can only go down in the dark. ”

Li Bengan breathed deeply, stood up and walked in front of his father, slapped his hands on the table, and turned his head to look at his father with a hideous face.

"Dad, so this time we have to catch that Zhu Yunxi!"

Li Wenxiang leaned back in his chair, looked up at the crisscrossing beams, and opened his mouth to exhale: "Let the Tatars come here tonight." ”

Li Bengan raised his eyebrows: "Father wants to ask the Tatars to make a move?" ”

"No matter what the result is, Zhu Yunxi must not fall into the hands of Liu Zongsheng. Only by holding him in our hands, we will have more confidence at that time! ”

……

"Chunfeng, what do you think is the confidence of these people in Shanxi Province?"

Outside the city of Zezhou, under the Phoenix Ridge, the northern patrol team temporarily rested at the foot of the mountain. Zhu Yunxi looked at Zezhou City in the west, spoke softly, and looked sideways at Gao Yangzhi who was standing beside him.

In the distance, on the road from Zezhou City to the bottom of Phoenix Ridge, a group of people and horses are rushing here.

It was because Zhu Yunxi patrolled north into Shanxi, and there were officials from the Yamen in Zezhou City who rushed to Zezhou after hearing the news.

Gao Yangzhi looked at the officials of Zezhou City who were rushing here at an unabated speed, and thought about His Royal Highness Taisun very seriously, and finally showed a smile on his face, shook his head and said, "The minister really can't think of it." ”

Money and food? Manpower?

For the imperial court, even those Jin merchants who were called rich and rivaled the country, the wealth in their hands was just a drop in the ocean.

As for the people that the White Lotus Sect is secretly developing, most of them are just local bitter and cold families, or those gentlemen and businessmen who do not want to be robbed of their wealth by the White Lotus Sect at once.

These people may be able to stir up chaos in the local area for a while, but as long as the imperial court sends a large army, these people can only flee when they hear the news. If you are unwilling to retreat, the final result will be to become a first-class military merit under the Ming army that is now eager for war.

"So, it's because of human greed."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and explained casually.

Gao Yangzhi nodded: "Liu Zongsheng wants to achieve great things and do things that his parents have never done." Or rather, for so many years, he has lived by this breath. As for the Jin merchants...... The minister thought that it was just because these people were reluctant to give up the meat in their hands. ”

"Yes, I can't give up the flesh of my hand. But don't they know that what the imperial court has to do now is to divide the meat. The smile on Zhu Yunxi's face never disappeared, and he continued: "It's this Liu Zongsheng, but he doesn't think he wants to do what his father didn't do." ”

Gao Yangzhi tilted his head, his face curious.

When Zhu Yunwen was kidnapped by Liu Zongsheng and the people of the White Lotus Sect, and then Liu Zongsheng took a fancy to him, and then got in touch with Zhang Hui.

The Northern Patrol team already knew the composition of its internal personnel, and everything that Zhu Yunwen knew was transferred to Zhu Yunxi by Zhang Hui.

"The minister thinks that the trouble of the White Lotus Sect is the head of the thief. The people are ignorant, and they can be deceived in a few words. If you promise a small profit, you can be driven. If there is great profit, you can rebel.

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, until the Sui and Tang dynasties, why has the White Lotus Sect been repeatedly banned. The minister thinks about it, but the world Li Shu has never had no worries about food and clothing.

Now that the White Lotus Sect is reborn, the sin is not in the people attached, but in the people who are demagogued, and it is Liu Zongsheng and his ilk.

This time, His Royal Highness brought his ministers and others into Shanxi, and the Jin merchants needed to be abolished, but the White Lotus Sect only needed to punish the heads of thieves and those whose hands were stained with blood. ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded in agreement and said: "Lone is not a person to kill, after this Shanxi Dao incident, the sin in the White Lotus Sect stops at the bloodstained. ”

Over the years, although the imperial court has been severely cracking down on the White Lotus Sect and other subordinate sects, whether it is the local government or the Yingtian Imperial Court, for these turmoil, it has always been only the head of the thief and those who have lives in their hands.

Everyone knows how easily the local people will be bewitched by the White Lotus Sect. No one knows how many people have dealings with the White Lotus Sect.

Without the people who stirred up the incident, the rest of the people would not be able to do anything, and the court and the government issued an official document of forgiveness to send the people back to their hometowns, and the matter was over.

At the foot of Phoenix Ridge, Sun Cheng walked behind Zhu Yunxi.

"Your Highness, the officials of Zezhou City are near."

Zhu Yunxi, who had been waiting for these Zezhou officials, naturally saw the situation on the road ahead.

I saw that the officials of Zezhou City, who were in a mess, dismounted one after another in front of the Jinyi guards who stopped on the road.

The officials carried their official robes in both hands, and in this early winter season, sweating profusely and smiling faces, they walked through the procession of officers and soldiers, all the way to Zhu Yunxi.

Smack.

The officials who came out of the city from Zezhou City to greet them waved their robes and knelt on the ground.

"Ministers greet His Royal Highness."

"Your Highness Chitose, Wan Fu Jin'an."

The official with the highest official quality on the territory of Zezhou is the prefect of Zezhou.

The official title of the fourth grade.

Because of this, Zhu Yunxi did not have a red robe in front of him, all of them were blue and green. As for the official servants who came over by the guards and the old men, they had long been stopped by the brocade guards in the distance and could not get close.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and beckoned: "Let's get up." Lone passed through Shanxi, but he didn't tell him in advance, but it disturbed the place. ”

The prefect of Zezhou Prefecture is an old official, in his fifties, and there is something on the chest of the official robe, which has not been washed off.

The old prefect stood up with his hands on his knees, and bowed his waist with a smile on his face: "Your Highness's arrival in Zezhou is a blessing for the ministers and the people of Zezhou. Zezhou was late, and it was really the minister's fault. The government has prepared a banquet, and the ministers respectfully ask His Highness to deign to enter the city. ”

The sweat on the forehead of the old governor of Zezhou Mansion was shining brightly under the sunlight.

As the old prefect spoke, he carefully pinched his sleeves and wiped his forehead.

Between the waves, the old prefect's eyes looked at the Phoenix Ridge behind the imperial grandson, and the hands wiping his face couldn't help shaking, and his eyes also showed uneasiness.

On the east side of Phoenix Ridge behind Zhu Yunxi, there were two guards and 10,000 soldiers and horses commanded by Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan.

Although because of the distance, I can't see the whole army.

But the flags of all colors fluttering in the wind from the foot of the mountain gave the local officials who had just arrived in the city of Zezhou a great sense of shock.

These people are not comparable to Ning Shanwei in Zezhou Mansion.

That is the entire Ming Dynasty, except for the nine-sided border army, the most elite Beijing army.

Ning Shanwei!?

People thought of Ning Shanwei, who had just been transferred to Huaiqing Mansion, and their hearts became more and more uneasy.

Now the local government of the Ming Dynasty knows an unspeakable thing.

But wherever the emperor's grandson goes, there will always be countless incidents, and many people will die.

Without Ningshanwei, Zezhou, in front of the two Weijing soldiers and horses behind the emperor's grandson, is a city that can be picked. As long as the grandson gives an order, the entire Zezhou City will tremble.

And Zhu Yunxi shook his head in the face of the invitation of the prefect of Zezhou: "Zezhou City will not enter, and Lone will rush to Datong to patrol the border and negotiate with Wara about the exchange of markets." ”

According to Sun Cheng and Tian Mai's report, the prefect of Zezhou, who is in his fifties, is not honest and fair in his life, but he does not make big mistakes.

It is the other officials of the Zezhou Mansion who are the southern gate of Shanxi Province.

Zhu Yunxi's gaze swept over the crowd behind the prefect of Zezhou.

I heard that some people build high-rise buildings and courtyards in Zezhou, and the Taihu Stone in Suzhou, which is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, can also be transported in batches.

It's just that this trip is not to check the rule of local officials.

This is the errand of the second uncle, and let Sun Cheng and Tian Mai transfer the relevant records to the King of Qin.

When the prefect of Zezhou heard that the imperial grandson did not enter Zezhou City, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he was still a little uneasy: "Your Highness has traveled all the way, and you still have to rest." ”

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "Alone in this Phoenix City for an hour, and then continue to the north." The capital of Zezhou is written in Gaoping County, and the army marches to Gaoping, and the rations that can be used for the army for three days must not be mistaken. If you go to Lu'an Mansion again, you will not enter the city if you are alone in Lu'an City, and Lu'an needs to raise three days of food and grass for the army. ”

It's a non-stop look.

The prefect of Zezhou nodded again and again: "The minister obeys the order, and this will send someone to report to Gaoping County and Lu'an Mansion." ”

Seeing that the prefect of Zezhou was sensible and obedient, Zhu Yunxi didn't say anything more.

Instead, he led Gao Yangzhi and others to climb the Phoenix Ridge and look at the scenery outside Zezhou City.

By the end of the rest and recuperation time, Zhu Yunxi had already slowly walked on the road under the congratulations of a group of Zezhou officials.

The flags are unfurled, end to end, and the big flags cover the sky and the sun.

Zezhou officials stood on the side of the official road, watching the tens of thousands of troops pass in front of them, their eyelids trembling constantly.

"The general has an order, the cavalry battalion should go out for ten miles to the left and right, and the baggage of the rear military camp must not fall five miles away."

"Taisun Order, whoever rushes into the marching formation, there is no mercy for killing."

“……”

The Ming army in the Hongwu year of the Ming Dynasty was killed from the end of the Yuan Dynasty, which was stormy and strife.

In this year, there are still countless veterans in the army who have participated in those national wars.

At this time, the Ming army was the most sophisticated machine.

As the military orders from different people were delivered, the military formations marching on the official road began to move slowly and efficiently.

The officials in Zezhou City were terrified when they heard it, and they were terrified when they saw it.

If it weren't for the grandson's explicit words, who would have said that this was to protect the emperor's grandson to patrol the border in Datong.

This is clearly to go to the unsubordinate!

The procession of 10,000 people started until half an hour later, when they were in the sight of the officials of Zezhou City standing next to the official road.

It took a long time for the officials to react.

The imperial grandson and the army have left.

From Zezhou Mansion to Taiyuan City, the official road is nearly 700 miles. The march of the army is naturally not fast.

For more than ten days, Zhu Yunxi swaggered through the city and counties in Shanxi Province with a high-profile attitude.

It seems that he wants to let the entire Shanxi Province know.

He's coming.

When the army left Zezhou Mansion and entered the territory of Lu'an Prefecture.

The officials of Lu'an Mansion, who had already received the news, waited at the junction of the two prefectures early, and handed over to the army with the grain and grass that was far superior to the army for three days.

Before Zhu Yunxi led the army to leave Lu'an Mansion and enter Qinzhou Mansion, the officials of Qinzhou Mansion had already sent messengers to rush to the front of the army and play the preparations for Qinzhou Mansion.

When the tenth day came, Zhu Yunxi had already taken these more than 10,000 people through Hujia Mountain in the north of Qinzhou Mansion and arrived near Longzhouyu in Taiyuan Prefecture.

Ahead, officials from Qi County, Taigu County, and Xugou County were also already waiting on the official road behind the boundary monument.

"Now, the entire Taiyuan Mansion knows that His Highness has come down."

Gao Yangzhi rode on the horse, his butt was slightly raised, his body swayed back and forth with the movement of the war horse, and he whispered with a smile on his face.

Such a posture is the most comfortable for horseback riding.

Zhu Yunxi was also similar, looking at the officials of the three counties of Taiyuan Prefecture next to the official road in front of him, with the same smile on his face.

Since entering the Zezhou Mansion, the reason why he has been so lavish along the way, as if he was dressed up as a village girl wearing a big red flower, swaggered through the market, for the scene he saw in front of him now.

He just wants the entire Taiyuan Mansion to know that he is here.

Now, it's time for the people of Taiyuan Mansion to make a move.

"Where is Liang Guogong now?"

On horseback, Zhu Yunxi spoke softly.

Sun Chengli caught up from behind and said, "Back to Your Highness, Duke Liang Guo only rushed to Datong with his own soldiers, and he will be there in a few days." ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "In this way, when we enter Taiyuan City, he will also enter Datong City." ”

Sun Cheng nodded: "It should be so." ”

Zhu Yunxi asked again: "How is the second brother of Lonely?" ”

Sun Cheng bowed his head and strangled the reins in his hand, so that the war horse under him would not exceed the horse of His Royal Highness Taisun: "That one hasn't had much contact with Zhang Hui recently, but just asked Zhang Hui to do things." ”

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but smile: "What did he ask Zhang Hui to do?" ”

"Dig tunnels...... Dig ...... outside the city of Taiyuan"

Sun Cheng really didn't know how to describe it, and he was a little embarrassed.

What he didn't say was that Zhang Hui, who was like a demon god in the edict prison on weekdays, would cry to himself in the secret performance of Jinyiwei one day.

Zhang Hui even said to himself in a loud voice that if there was a chance, he would let him, the Fusi of Beizhen, go to Taiyuan City to take over Zhu Yunwen's affairs.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but laugh and said with a smile: "Second brother, this is a big picture." ”

Gao Yangzhi whispered to the side: "Want to come...... He wanted to leave a secret passage in and out of Taiyuan City. ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded, but shook his head again and said, "He probably didn't think about escaping from Taiyuan City." This tunnel, on the contrary, is most likely dug for us. ”

speculated on Zhu Yunwen's thoughts and plans.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes looked at the officials of the three counties of Taiyuan Prefecture who had already arrived in front of him.

This Taiyuan Mansion is somewhat interesting.
