Chapter 580: Second Brother, What You Say Is Not Right!
On the way back, Yang Shiqi directly assigned a homework to a group of young civil officials.
"You all go back and write down your thoughts about this rebellion, and then give it to me for review!"
"If you don't understand anything, you can ask me while you're in a hurry, I may not have so much time when I return to Naturalization City!"
"No!"
A group of young civil officials suddenly accepted the promise, and then saw a sudden puff of smoke and dust rising from the road, as if there were thousands of horses galloping.
When they felt the shaking of the ground, everyone's faces became extremely bad, and they surrounded Yang Shiqi in horror.
Although Yang Shiqi is not a few years older than them, after all, he has been in Naturalization City for a long time, and he once accompanied the imperial grandson, and was personally adjusted by the imperial grandson, learned a lot of political methods, and the whole person has become more calm and sophisticated.
"Don't panic, this should be the arrival of His Royal Highness King Heng's army."
"Huh?"
"And the army?"
When Yang Shiqi heard this silly and sweet voice, he wanted to kick that guy to death.
This group of people really thinks that they are stupid and bold, and they dare to go to the place where the Mengyuan people gather to kill without the support of the army?
In fact, these herdsmen who have been organized into households have already been screened by the army.
The real thorns, or disobedient ones, have long been dragged by them to work in the mines, or to the construction sites to build roads.
The rest of these are ordinary herdsmen, who are at the bottom of Mengyuan, and as long as they are given some benefits in the Ming Dynasty, they will be happy, and few people will be rebellious.
Even if there are a few occasionally, they can be suppressed by the Ming army soon, and they will not be allowed to form a prairie fire.
"Of course there is an army, there is no army to support the officer, where does the official have the courage to quell the chaos!"
"This official just ran relatively fast, and he didn't wait for the army of His Royal Highness King Heng!"
After Yang Shiqi reprimanded these bastards, he sent his personal guards to the front to investigate to see if it was His Royal Highness King Heng who led the army.
When Zhu Yunxi heard that there was a rebellion in Guihua City, he immediately left his thirteenth uncle and rushed all the way to Alxa City to quell the chaos.
Because they took a shortcut, they arrived just in time for their return trip.
It's just that he didn't expect that he was in a hurry or too late.
If you let the third brother know that he almost delayed the chaos by not doing his job, the third brother can kill himself!
When Zhu Yunxi learned that Yang Shiqi's team was not far ahead, he immediately threw down his large army and followed a few scouts to Yang Shiqi's side.
As soon as Zhu Yunxi and Yang Shiqi met, they dragged Yang Shiqi to whisper.
"Lord Yang save me, don't tell my third brother about this, my third brother knows that he has to kill me!"
Yang Shiqi's eyes rolled when he heard this, and then he took out a report document from his sleeve.
"His Royal Highness King Heng, if you have no opinion, please sign the report paperwork."
"Paperwork?"
Zhu Yunxi took the document in surprise, and immediately showed a satisfied smile after reading a few lines.
"Thank you Lord Yang for your protection, this king's contribution to quelling the chaos this time is not as great as you said, as long as you mention me when you report the victory, this king will be grateful."
Yang Shiqi heard a serious nonsense.
"No, no, no!"
"His Royal Highness King Heng sits in the Naturalization City, with tens of thousands of people under his command who control the strings, and more than 10,000 miles of land, everything within the scope of the Naturalization City, which has nothing to do with you?"
"If there is any responsibility to bear, can His Royal Highness King Heng pass the buck to others?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard the words.
"Of course not!"
"Although this king doesn't have any great skills, he still has the responsibility that a man should have, and he will never shirk his responsibilities and let his subordinates take the blame for me!"
Yang Shiqi praised when he heard this.
"Isn't that the end of it!"
"The responsibility belongs to His Highness, and of course the merit is also His Highness, and he did not let His Highness take the blame, but the credit has nothing to do with His Highness!"
"This, this, this!"
When Zhu Yunxi heard Yang Shiqi's theory, he was stunned.
He found that he had studied at the Royal Academy for several years, but he had not learned as much in the few months he had been in Naturalization City.
Look at Yang Shiqi, he is not a few years older than himself, why is his speech so good!
And the people are also handsome!
"Lord Yang is really the bosom friend of this king, I don't know if Lord Yang has a sister in his family......"
When Yang Shiqi heard this, he immediately shook his head vigilantly.
"Nope!"
"I'm one at home, and I have no brothers or sisters!"
What are you kidding, it doesn't matter if you have merit and balance the king's points, who would dare to marry your sister to this unreliable guy?
"Lord Yang really doesn't have a sister at home?"
"How did I vaguely hear that there was a ......?"
"His Royal Highness King Heng, there is really no sister in the humble family, you must have heard it wrong!"
"Oh......"
"Maybe this king really remembers wrong, right?"
Although Zhu Yunxi did not catch up with the rebellion, he still sent 2,000 people to Alxa City to assist Yu Yanzhao in dealing with the affairs after the rebellion.
In fact, there is nothing important to deal with, it is nothing more than confiscating family property, cattle and sheep, and pasture for redistribution.
But the problem lies in the redistribution, the herders look at the pasture like an eyeball, and a little less can kill people.
Therefore, there must be elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty to make these herdsmen be honest.
As for Zhu Yunxi himself, he followed Yang Shiqi all the way back to Naturalization City.
After all, Alxa City is too small, and he lacks food and drink, so he is reluctant to go.
Relatively speaking, it is still prosperous in the Naturalization City, there are not only restaurants and tea shops, but also many branches that have moved from the banks of the Qinhuai River, which provide various considerate services for officers, nobles and businessmen at all levels in the Naturalization City.
Zhu Yunxi likes considerate service, and the reason why he is stationed in Datong Mansion is only because the entertainment industry in Zhu Gui's fiefdom is relatively developed, which is convenient for him to indulge himself on weekdays.
When Zhu Yunxi led the large army into the Naturalization City, several sturdy men near the city gate suddenly widened their eyes and glanced at each other, passing on the news of Zhu Yunxi's entry into the city.
Not long after, in an inconspicuous shop, Han Qing learned the news of Zhu Yunxi's return to the city from his subordinates.
"Alas!"
"I didn't think I would see it for a few years, but this little guy turned out to be the most powerful vassal king in the Ming Dynasty!"
Compared with other vassal kings, Zhu Yunxi managed the largest area, and his territory was close to that of the entire Ming Dynasty.
Even in terms of the number of troops under his control, Zhu Yunxi is also the No.1 in the echelon of the Ming vassal king, with an absolute numerical advantage.
Although the garrison of Naturalization City and Naturalization City nominally obeyed Zhu Yunxi's dispatch, Zhu Yunxi didn't have time to pay attention to these after all, so he could only leave it to Zhu Yunxi to manage.
Therefore, in a sense, Zhu Yunxi is the king of this area.
When Zhu Yunxi returned to his mansion in Naturalization City, there were many vendors selling all kinds of strange things near his mansion, and even the eunuchs and palace maids in his mansion became extremely busy.
One by one, news about him left the Naturalization City through various channels and went to the territories of various vassal kings, as well as the distant capital.
Zhu Yunxi, who was on the cusp of the storm, didn't know that he was already one of the key figures who could influence the situation in Daming.
If Zhu Yunxi rebels, even if he can't pull Zhu Yunxi down, it will also make Daming fall into civil strife!
Han Qing walked around the outside of Zhu Yunxi's mansion a few times, and finally gave up the idea of going to see Zhu Yunxi.
One is that he feels that the time is not ripe, and the other is that he does not want to drag this happy child into the water.
After all, when he was in the Hope Academy, when he brought unforgettable happy memories to Zhu Yunxi, he himself enjoyed this happiness.
That period was the easiest time for him in so many years, with no deceit or intrigue.
Just play with a poor child who has lost his parents every day and make this child happy.
But Han Qing would not let Zhu Yunxi go because of this matter, the reason why he gave up seeing Zhu Yunxi was just that he felt that the time was not ripe and it was not enough to shake the dominance of the Ming Dynasty.
However, just as Han Qing was about to go back, he suddenly saw a person who should not be here.
"Zhu Yunwen?"
"Why is this guy here?"
Zhu Yunwen had no reason to continue to stay in the capital after Zhu Yunxi returned to Beijing, even if he did not hesitate to sacrifice his daughter and let her have a serious illness, he still couldn't let himself stay in the capital, and he received the will of the old emperor in the New Year, ordering him to return to Fengyang to train soldiers.
Where is this military training, it is clearly to drive him out of the capital!
As soon as Zhu Yunxi returned to the mansion, before his butt was hot, he saw a little eunuch hurriedly come over and mysteriously handed him a note.
"Your Highness, an old man has come to visit!"
"The deceased?"
"Where did this king come from?"
Zhu Yunxi opened the note suspiciously, and stood up from the chair in surprise after only one glance.
"Two ......"
"Why is he here!"
"Where's the guy?"
"Go back to Your Highness, come and hand over this note to the slave and maid and leave, saying that if Your Highness wants to see him, he will go to him in person!"
"Huh?"
Zhu Yunxi looked at the note again, and saw that an address was written on it.
Zhu Yunxi wrote down the address, then ate the note, took hundreds of guards and went to the Yuelai Inn, knocking on the guest room with the number A.
"Knock knock!"
"Enter!"
Zhu Yunxi pushed the door and entered, and saw Zhu Yunwen sitting in the room dressed as a scholar, and almost dropped his jaw.
"Second brother, why did you come here suddenly, and you didn't say hello to your brother beforehand?"
After Zhu Yunxi said this, he looked at Zhu Yunxi with a vigilant face.
"Do the imperial grandfather and third brother know that you came to see me?"
Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said.
"Of course I don't!"
"If they knew I was here, why did I put on such clothes?"
Zhu Yunxi said in horror when he heard this.
"Second brother, it's a big crime for the vassal king to go out of the fief without permission, don't you want to die?"
Zhu Yunxi is nonsense, but it is still clear what mistakes should be made and what mistakes should not be made.
At the very least, if you are suspected of rebellion, you can't do it!
Zhu Yunwen pouted disdainfully when he heard this.
"You are embarrassed to say me, you look at what you have done in the past few years, smuggling ordnance, selling slaves, and delaying military aircraft, which is not a big crime?"
Zhu Yunxi sighed and shook his head.
"It's different!"
"Everything my brother did, I didn't hide it from the third brother, it was all done with the cooperation of the third brother's subordinates, as long as the third brother wanted to know, he could grasp my details at any time."
"But you ......"
"Alas!"
"If it is found out by Jinyiwei, you and I will be in big trouble!"
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, his pupils couldn't help shrinking, and he looked at Zhu Yunxi with puzzled eyes.
He always thought that his younger brother was a natural fool, but he never thought that he would have such a city and such a cautious nature.
"You're teaching me how to do things?"
"Second brother!"
"Brother just doesn't want you to take the risk!"
"Adventure?"
"Hehe......"
Zhu Yunwen smiled bitterly.
"Fourth brother, do you know how the mother concubine died?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head firmly.
"I don't want to!"
"Don't mention the concubine to me, I don't want to know about the concubine!"
Zhu Yunwen was so angry when he heard this that he slapped the case on the spot.
"You ......"
"You're worthy of your mother!"
"The mother concubine died so miserably, you don't want to avenge your mother, you don't even care about the death of your mother, are you still worthy of being a son of man!"
When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he knelt on the ground in pain and covered his ears with both hands.
"Second brother, please don't force me, I finally forgot about my mother, I don't want to remember those unpleasant things, woo woo woo ......"
Zhu Yunwen stepped forward and brutally broke Zhu Yunxi's hand and shouted into his ear.
"No!"
"You have to know!"
"The mother concubine was killed by Zhu Yunxi, tortured to death, and finally in order to torture the mother concubine, Zhu Yunxi also crushed the mother's bones and scattered ashes, so that the mother concubine died without a place to be buried!"
"No!"
"You lied to me, this is impossible, I clearly saw the coffin of the concubine buried with my own eyes......"
"Silly boy, that's fake, that's an empty coffin!"
Zhu Yunxi asked with a face full of disbelief.
"How do you know?"
Zhu Yunwen snorted coldly.
"Because I personally went down to the grave to check it, and there was nothing in the coffin!"
"This ......"
Zhu Yunxi was stunned when he heard this, and sat on the ground dejectedly and muttered to himself.
"How could it be ......"
"The third brother is so kind, how can he harm his mother and concubine......"
"It must be the imperial grandfather, the imperial grandfather hated the mother concubine, and ordered someone to secretly execute the mother concubine......"
Zhu Yunwen saw that his younger brother was still talking for Zhu Yunxi at this time, so he was so angry that he slapped him heavily on the spot.
"Bastard!"
"Why are you still speaking for that!"
"If there is no Zhu Yunxi, the position of the grandson of the Ming Emperor should belong to me!"
"We are compatriots, can I still treat you badly as the emperor's grandson?"
Zhu Yunxi said in a daze when he heard this.
"Second brother, the third brother didn't treat me badly as the emperor's grandson, and he entrusted me with a heavy responsibility......"
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he was speechless on the spot, and he couldn't find a rebuttal.
Zhu Yunxi is right, even if he becomes the emperor's grandson, he may not do better than Zhu Yunxi.
But Zhu Yunwen was still angry and felt a betrayal.
"Are you stupid!"
"We are brothers of the same mother, can we be the same as Zhu Yunxi's!"
"Zhu Yunxi, the two of us are real brothers, you have to stand on my side, deal with Zhu Yunxi with me, and avenge our mother!"
"How to get revenge?"
"Aren't you in charge of Naturalization City for Zhu Yunxi now?"
"yes!"
As soon as Zhu Yunxi agreed, he suddenly realized that something was wrong and hurriedly added a sentence.
"But what I said doesn't count, I'm just in charge of this side for the third brother, and the people under the third brother are really in charge."
"As long as you help the second brother at the critical moment, the second brother will become the emperor in the future, and I promise to make you a prince and reward you with the best fief in the world!"
Zhu Yunxi drank this bowl of ecstasy soup, only to feel a little confused.
"Second brother, what you said is not right!"
"What's wrong?"
"The third brother also told me that when he becomes the emperor, he will also make me a prince!"
"And the third brother also said, if I don't want to, I can stay in the capital all the time, and find me something to do in the court when the time comes......"
"Although my younger brother is not smart, why does my younger brother think that the third brother's conditions are better than yours?"
"Uh-uh......"
