Sun Shangqing was taken aback by the situation in front of him.

"What do you want to do? I'm the Imperial Historian. ”

Zhu Gui waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately stood back.

"Lord Yushi is such a great official, don't forget that this is the grassland, and it is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty yet."

Sun Shangqing's face immediately flowed into a cold sweat, if he died here, even if the imperial court wanted to investigate, I am afraid there would be no way to find out.

Not to mention that the vassal king has very large authority in his own fiefdom, in the past, the acting king was lawless in the capital, and the emperor only blamed a few words, and now even if he really kills him, I am afraid that the emperor will only punish him indiscriminately.

Just when the atmosphere gradually cooled down, Zhang Mao on the side immediately said: "Acting King, Sun Yushi, it's cold here, let's sit down and talk." ”

He warmed up the scene and gave both sides a step down.

Sun Shangqing immediately threw up his sleeves and left, but he still didn't forget to leave the next sentence: 'This matter will definitely be played to the emperor'.

Zhu Gui just snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

However, the Ming soldiers behind him were all red-eyed, and their border troops had been fighting against the Mongols, and now they were going to be played for this matter? So what are they doing all this for?

Zhu Gui also seemed to sense something, he turned to look at everyone and said: "Don't listen to that villain's nonsense, this Datong Mansion is our hometown, and we are not only fighting for Daming, but also fighting for ourselves and our families." ”

His words finally made the faces of these guards a lot better.

After asking the captain to bring the soldiers back to the barracks, Zhu Gui came to the city lord's mansion.

Zhang Mao and Sun Shangqing were already sitting on the left side.

Seeing Zhu Gui coming in, Zhang Mao quickly stood up.

"Lord Wang."

Sun Shangqing really stood up unhurriedly, just made a gesture, but didn't say anything.

This made Zhang Mao on the side a little embarrassed, but he had the lowest official position, and it was difficult to say anything.

Zhu Gui sat down on the main seat, and then beckoned people to serve tea.

"Isn't Sun Yushi in charge of disaster relief? It's a dangerous place, but it's not the place you should be. ”

Zhu Gui said lightly.

"Hmph, acting king, you don't have to be sarcastic about the official, the official has learned what you have done during this time, there is a disaster in Shanxi, but you have requisitioned people to build a city, and even violated the national policy and started a war with the Mongols, these officials will make it clear to the emperor one by one."

Sun Shangqing said, not forgetting to make a gesture to the south, as if he was smiling towards Zhu Gui.

"You can play as you like, that's your right, but how much do you know about the situation in Datong Mansion?"

Zhu Gui snorted coldly.

"The disaster in the whole territory of Shandong is not even as good as Shanxi, and you also came from there, right? But what is the actual request of the two provinces, you also see it, right? ”

"Shanxi suffered a once-in-a-century flood, but how many victims are there in Shanxi? What do you think would be the situation here without this king? ”

Zhang Mao on the side nodded again and again when he listened, obviously agreeing with Zhu Gui's statement.

Sun Shangqing stood up all of a sudden.

"Acting king, you are the local vassal king, isn't this what you should do? Are you asking for credit from your own officials? ”

"Haha? Asking for credit? To you? Do you deserve it too? This king is just telling the truth, but you are pretending to be public and trying to frame this king, are you still worthy of this official uniform? ”

Zhu Gui said coldly.

"You, you ......"

Sun Shangqing trembled with anger, his eyes were red, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

These days of investigation, he didn't know what the king was doing locally, but hatred made him choose to ignore it.

And he came today in the hope that the acting king, who was above the top, would apologize and soften in front of him, so that he would consider being a favor and no longer care about the past grievances between the other party and him.

But now it seems that this little prince does not have the slightest intention of repenting.

"This king will tell you one more thing, the last salt envoy of Yunzhou was deposed by this king, you can try whether your weight is important to a salt road official."

Zhu Gui continued.

"You, you dare to intimidate this official."

Sun Shangqing was already bloodless at this time.

"This king just said some truths, as long as you think it's your business, if there is nothing to do, then please go back, otherwise there may be Mongols on the road, but don't blame this king for not reminding you."

Zhu Gui said with a smile.

Sun Shangqing's fist clenched loudly, but he had nothing to do with Zhu Gui, so he could only throw his sleeves and leave.

"Lord Wang, why do you have to be so stiff with this imperial historian?"

Zhang Mao said helplessly.

"Zhang Junshou, you don't understand this, in the past, this king was not sensible, and he annoyed a lot of people in Nanjing, they were all waiting to see the king's jokes, if this king gave in to this Sun Yushi today, then they would all pounce on this king like hungry wolves smelling blood."

Zhu Gui's eyes showed a cold light.

"So this king chooses not to compromise, this king is the king of the Ming Dynasty, this is not only the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but also the fief of the king, this king will have to see when the time comes, who dares to try the tiger power of this king."

These words were loud, and Zhang Mao nodded unconsciously.

"Lord Wang, the lower official understands, if anything happens in the future, the lower official will be sent at his disposal."

Zhu Gui nodded and said: "You did a good job this time, but that Zhang Shangqing took himself too seriously, if you want to be promoted, this king can write you a letter." ”

Zhang Mao immediately knelt down and said: "Xiaguan is willing to serve the prince all the time, and during this time, Xiaguan can be regarded as seeing clearly, on the land of the Ming Dynasty, there can be a virtuous vassal king like the prince......"

"Okay, no need to say it again, this time you have made the right choice, go and accompany that Sun Yushi, don't let him do anything stupid."

Zhu Guidao.

"Yes."

Zhang Mao got up and went out.

Although Zhu Gui didn't think that a civilian official like Sun Shangqing could have much energy, he didn't want to really make any trouble, if he really colluded with the Mongols again, then he could imagine how angry Zhu Yuanzhang would be, and he would still have to bear this anger at that time.

"Hey, when will the old man change his attitude towards this king? There is a way that the priests should be impressed by each other for three days. ”

Zhu Gui remembered it for a long time.

At the same time, the steppe assembly on the steppe finally ended.

At the instigation of the Heavenly Khan, and because of the defeat of the Heimuhan tribe again, the Mongol tribes were finally persuaded and agreed to the plan of jointly sending troops to attack Datong Province.

That's right, Tian Khan did not choose the plan of the decisive battle between Heimu Han and Zhu Gui in the Blackwood tribe, but chose a more radical battle plan.
