Jiannu Emperor Taiji had no choice but to temporarily give up attacking Xuanfu.

Two years later, Commander Jin Wuwei led his army to the Mongol front.

A short-lived military alliance was formed with the Mongols.

It also relies on the prestige of the Lu family.

This time, Zhou Xian used this combat force to go north to Xuanfu.

is to clearly tell Xuanfu Wucheng that the military mutiny to join the army, the attitude of the imperial court is clear!

What the Wucheng incident revealed was only the tip of the iceberg of corruption in the border army.

After Di Changgong took the Jinyi guard of the Zhenfu Division out of the city, he quickly went north.

At this time, Beijing was more than 280 kilometers away from Wucheng.

It took nearly three days.

Di Changgong's brocade guard appeared under Xuanhua City.

At this time, it happens to be in the evening.

The sentry on the tower of Xuanfu City quickly questioned when he noticed that a cavalry force of 1,000 people had arrived.

Di Changgong also clarified his identity as usual.

Xu Chao, the governor of Xuanfu, and Liu Junji, the chief soldier, each had their own thoughts, and with a smile on their faces, they welcomed Di Changgong and his party into the city.

"Congratulations to Lord Di on his promotion, now he is a thousand households of the Zhenfu Division, and it is really a blessing for my Xuanfu to come here today."

Di Changgong heard the hypocrisy in the other party's words, as a Jinyi guard, he knew better than anyone that what the officials of the Ming Dynasty hated the most was dealing with Jinyiwei.

Di Changgong didn't want to talk nonsense, he only wanted to complete the task assigned by Zhou Xian as soon as possible, so he went straight to the point and said: "This official is on the order of Lord Zongqi to arrest Wucheng General Huang Shouren. ”

Wucheng is a small military town under the jurisdiction of Xuanfu.

In terms of military structure, it belongs to the flank defense stronghold of Xuanfu.

In ancient times, in order to be unimpeded, it was usually necessary to enter Dabian Town before opening the official road to other towns.

Otherwise, you have to go over the mountains and mountains to walk the bumpy road that no one has ever walked on.

In addition, Wucheng gathered Xuanfu less than fifty miles away, and if you galloped wildly, it would take three hours.

However, when Di Changgong explained his intentions.

Xu Chao and Liu Junji looked stunned, and the two glanced at each other.

The look became more and more complicated.

Liu Chao hurriedly asked, "What?" Master Di wanted Huang Shouren? What happened to him? ”

"The Imperial Court has received definite news. Huang Shouren supervised the army in Wucheng, and actually mutinied without authorization, mobilizing soldiers to invade the houses of local peasants, such acts as an attempt to rebel. Now Lord Zongqi is extremely angry! ”

"Ahh Mutiny? Impossible, right? Wucheng is a military town under my jurisdiction, and if there is such a thing, this official should not know about it. Xu Chao explained in surprise.

Di Changgong was only interested in handling the case, so he naturally had no interest in arguing with Xu Chao.

Moreover, who would believe Xu Chao's words?

Either he hurriedly expressed his stance and dissociated himself from him, or he just pretended to be confused.

"Lord Xu, without further ado, please open a customs clearance document, Jinyiwei will handle the case, the time given to the official is very short, don't embarrass the official."

"Master Di, this can't be either! Even if it's you Jinyi Wei who takes people, you have to show evidence, right? ”

"Besides, it's true that your Jinyi Guard's duty is to supervise hundreds of officials, but you don't seem to be able to control the border army, right?"

"You allow me to go down and investigate, if something really happens to Wucheng, our border army will deal with it, of course, you can rest assured, I and the chief soldier will definitely enforce the law impartially."

Governor Xu Chao spoke eloquently.

For a while, Di Changgong was a little wrong.

If Zhou Xian was the emperor, it would be much easier.

But Zhou Xian's embarrassment is that he is just a prisoner.

Although Emperor Chongzhen granted him imperial power, that imperial power was time-sensitive and transitional.

Crucially, it's incomplete.

How many people can be convinced of an incomplete imperial power, a Wenchen military general of the Ming Dynasty?

However, Di Changgong had seen Zhou Xian's methods.

If he messes up in this matter, his life will be completely lost.

So, he said in a tough tone: "Governor Xu, Chief Liu, are you embarrassed by this official?" ”

"No, it's not embarrassing." Xu Chaopi didn't smile, and stated in a kind tone as much as possible: "Master Di, the official and the chief soldier are just stating the facts, and you Jinyiwei are not qualified to supervise the border army. ”

"Governor Xu, this official is the Zhenfu Division of Qianhu, and now the Ming Dynasty is the general banner of my Zhenfu Division, and this official is the order of the Son of Heaven, if you have doubts, you can go back to Beijing with this official afterwards to solve it."

Di Changgong's tone became more and more rigid: "Please speed up the text." ”

Without documents, it was difficult for several military gates in Xuanfu to pass.

Even if the Jinyi guard hits out, the next pass will still obstruct it.

No matter how high Di Changgong's means are, he does not have the courage to kill six generals in five levels.

Xu Chao smiled and said, "Master Di, don't be impatient!" ”

"Governor Xu, what do you mean?"

"This official is also ordered to supervise the army Xuanfu, and General Liu is also under the orders of the imperial court."

"Besides, Master Di doesn't know that Xuanfu has been the core border town of my Ming Dynasty since the Hongwu period."

"It is the most critical link in today's lower nine sides."

"This official and the chief soldier are in important positions, so they naturally don't dare to take it lightly."

"Therefore, we can't see His Majesty's handwritten order, and we must not let it go easily."

At this time, Di Changgong smiled.

indifferently took out Zhou Xian's handwritten message and handed it over.

Xu Chao and Liu Junji, the chief soldier, each glanced at each other.

He frowned.

Di Changgong couldn't help but be a little anxious: "Two adults, please open the door as soon as possible." ”

"This ......"

Xu Chao seemed to be about to speak.

Liu Junji, the chief soldier, hurriedly said: "The seal on the edict is indeed His Majesty's heirloom jade seal, but the inscription is Zhou Xian. ”

"Not bad." Xu Chao took over the conversation and returned the handwritten message to Di Changgong: "Master Di, please go back." We are waiting for the border towns of the overseers to control one side for His Majesty, and we only recognize His Majesty's handwritten instructions. ”

At first glance, Xu Chao and Liu Junji are iron-clad generals who are absolutely loyal to Emperor Chongzhen.

In fact, they are just prevaricating.

If you are loyal to the monarch, why is the Xuanfu here?

Di Changgong also understood what Xu Chao and Liu Junji meant.

They clearly wanted to prevent themselves from going to Wucheng.

But what about listening?

If it were to be changed to another place, Di Changgong would not talk nonsense, and directly did that person.

But here alone, he can't do it.

Because Xu Chao, as the governor of Xuanfu, is a member of the imperial court.

Liu Junji next to him, as the chief soldier, is the second product.

Even though Di Changgong has the power of Jinyi Wei to cut first and then play, in the end, there are only six grades in thousands of households.

Want to sanction the big guys? That has to have a heart that is not afraid of power.

Precisely, Di Changgong is not afraid of death.

But he couldn't either.

Because of the Xuanfu border town of the Ming Dynasty, there were 70,000 troops stationed.

They are all border troops with outstanding achievements, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
