Chapter 111: Layout
On this day, Hu Changan was drinking tea in the house, and suddenly a small guy ran over in a panic: "Oh no, Lord Hu, the coal mine is surrounded by people!" ”
What?
Hu Changan was startled, and stood up directly from the recliner: "Prepare the horse, I'm going to the mine to have a look!" ”
"Yes."
......
Today's coal mine is full of solemn atmosphere.
The stubborn soldiers surrounded everyone in an open field at the foot of the mountain.
The expression on the face of the Hu Mansion was barely readable.
After all, I have been trained in Hu Mansion for a period of time, and I have seen some big scenes, although I am scared, but it will not be obvious.
Those villagers who came to work as temporary workers were already frightened, and even their calves couldn't stop trembling.
They're just honest farmers! Suddenly seeing so many soldiers, I was scared away.
Everyone stood in the open space in trepidation, waiting for the judgment of fate.
Suddenly, a crisp sound of horses' hooves came from the path.
I saw a young man in a white robe, galloping from the city with two stewards.
This person is Hu Changan.
Hu Changan also frowned when he saw the scene in front of him.
The little guy who came to report was right, this was indeed a soldier guarding the suburbs of Beijing.
Hu Changan shouted at everyone: "What the hell is going on? I'm just a good citizen who bought the wasteland and cleared the wasteland, who gave you the courage to besiege the good people for no reason? ”
"This is my order!" As soon as the words fell, a tall figure slowly stepped out of the ranks.
This person is tall and burly, wearing a vermilion cloak, and his feet are high-headed horses, quite imposing.
This is the leader of these soldiers, Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo.
Looking at Hu Changan, a happy smile appeared on Fu Youde's dark face: "What's the matter, you kid also have today?" ”
Faced with the sudden questioning, Hu Changan secretly said badly.
Although this Fu Youde is not Li Shanchang's subordinate, he has already offended him in the previous seizure of Mintian.
Today, this Fu Youde is aggressive, I'm afraid that the person who comes is not good!
Facing Fu Youde, Hu Changan arched his hand without humility or arrogance: "I don't know the general, what do you mean by detaining the craftsmen under me?" ”
"I bought this barren mountain in Yahang before, can't I open up the land I bought myself?"
"Still clearing the wasteland?" Fu Youde snorted coldly, and smiled at Hu Changan with bad intentions, "Hu Shilang, I think you are plotting rebellion!" ”
"Recruiting so many peasants temporarily, and giving them iron tools, isn't it a rebellion?"
Hu Changan was also stunned when he heard this.
He never thought that mining could also be linked to rebellion?
But let's talk about rebellion...... It seems that the distribution of weapons to good citizens is really a real thing?
Hu Changan's heart was suddenly lifted high.
Rebellion! This is a felony of the first class in a feudal dynasty!
If this crime is confirmed, then Hu Changan will not be able to say that he has made a career, I am afraid that he will be divided by five horses on the spot!
Although Hu Changan was a little panicked in his heart, he still didn't show any signs on his face, but just arched his hand to Fu Youde and said, "General, what you said is a bit heavy. ”
"I'm just mining a mine, where is the militia being trained? I'm afraid the general is mistaken. ”
Fu Youde snorted coldly when he heard this: "Hu Shilang, leave your words to Your Majesty, and see if Your Majesty will believe your quibble!" ”
Hu Changan also sighed helplessly when he heard this, so he had to bow to Fu Youde quietly: "Since this is the case, then I will go to Your Majesty first to explain the situation." ”
Right now, only by going to Zhu Yuanzhang to explain the situation first can he escape!
Otherwise, if Zhu Yuanzhang believed in the theory of rebellion, it would be difficult for Hu Changan to change Zhu Yuanzhang's inherent views!
However, Fu Youde sneered at Hu Changan and ordered his subordinates: "Look at this thief, you can't let him run away!" ”
Suddenly, the soldiers attacked Hu Chang'an.
Looking at the bright tip of the sword, Hu Changan had to sigh, turned over and dismounted, and walked to the open space under the escort of the soldiers.
......
In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Zhu Yuanzhang was reviewing the recitals.
Suddenly, a little eunuch ran over and whispered to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the county order of Gaochun County is said to be in an emergency and is waiting at the door, may I ask if it is called?" ”
"Xuan." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't raise his head, and replied casually.
"Yes." The little eunuch hurriedly bowed down, turned around and retreated.
After a while, Shen Yichuan, the county commander of Gaochun County, entered the hall.
As soon as he came in, Shen Yichuan bowed his head and bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" The minister heard that Hu Chang'an, the squire of the Ministry of Works, is now secretly training troops on the territory of Gaochun County, preparing to rebel! ”
What?
As soon as he heard the key word of rebellion, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised twelve points of vigilance.
Rebellion is not a trivial matter!
If Hu Changan really has a heart of disobedience, then even if he has great talent, Zhu Yuanzhang can only endure to kill him!
Putting down the music in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly to Shen Yichuan under the steps: "Shen Aiqing, are you sure your news is right?" ”
"Yes!" Shen Yichuan hurriedly continued, "It is said that Hu Chang'an is recruiting peasants on the territory of Gaochun County, distributing iron tools to them, and secretly training them!" ”
"Although the minister didn't see it with his own eyes, just now the Korean prince Li Shanchang specially came to the minister's mansion to explain the situation to the minister."
"The lower officials didn't dare to slack off, and as soon as they heard it, they rushed to report to His Majesty."
As an old man who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, although Shen Yichuan was too frightened and didn't react at the time, he was blown by the cold wind of late autumn and slowly came back to his senses.
This incident is strange everywhere.
Why did Li Shanchang see Hu Chang'an's rebellion, and did not report directly to His Majesty, but came to visit him, a seven-rank sesame official?
There must be a conspiracy in this!
So Shen Yichuan also quietly kept an eye on Li Shanchang and confessed to him.
He was indeed right to say this, after all, it was not what he saw with his own eyes, but Li Shanchang went to tell him.
If this is true, then Li Shanchang will be meritorious and will also receive some rewards.
If this matter is Li Shanchang's secret game, then he, Shen Yichuan, can also clear his responsibility from it.
Zhu Yuanzhang was originally highly vigilant, but when he heard that this incident was reported by Li Shanchang, he calmed down again.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Li Shanchang and Hu Changan were a little unhappy in it, and Li Shanchang had also given Hu Changan eye medicine from various angles three times before.
From Li Shanchang's mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally wanted to put a three-point question mark on Hu Chang'an's rebellion.
