After getting the approval and regulations of the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Gaoxu and his son did not hesitate and immediately left Beijing.

It's not that they're in a hurry, it's because they really have to leave as soon as possible.

It's not a curse on the old man, no matter how you say it, it's your own family, or an elder, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanyan sincerely hope that the old man can be well, but the reality is there, and I have to admit it.

To put it mildly, if they were really late, their father and son might not be able to go.

At the very least, you can't leave quietly.

Zhu Gaochi is also an understanding person, he not only understands the old man's thoughts, but also understands Zhu Zhanchi's idea of wanting to leave in such a hurry.

Therefore, the excerpts of the Ministry of Rites were sent as quickly as possible, and they were also approved as quickly as possible.

A thing that seems to be good for both sides seems to have been achieved.

In reality, however, it is ......

……

"His Royal Highness."

As soon as he left Shuntian Mansion, before he reached the boundary of Tongzhou, Zhu Ling rang the wheel of the carriage that Zhu Zhanyan was riding.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhanyan sat in the carriage, squinted, and spoke nonchalantly.

"Someone's coming."

"Got it." Zhu Zhanyan slowly opened his eyes and opened the curtain expressionlessly.

"Stop."

……

The long convoy slowly stopped, Zhu Zhanyu walked out of the carriage, and Zhu Gaoxu also poked his head out of the carriage in front, and when he saw that his sons had come out, he also walked out.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Gaoxu's eyelids drooped slightly.

Although he was asking, he had already guessed something more or less.

"Someone, come to see us off." Zhu Zhanyan grinned and looked around.

The place is not very good, a large plain, there is nothing to benefit from the topography.

In terms of the fact that Shuntianfu is the current Ming Jingshi, it seems that it can mobilize a lot of soldiers and horses in a very short time, but in fact, it is not.

The more important the place and the more people there are, the more cumbersome the procedure becomes, and it is almost impossible to mobilize a large number of troops in a short period of time, except for some very special matter.

Besides, who is qualified to give orders in Suncheon Mansion now?

"Come out, let me see which recruit's eggs this is." Zhu Zhanyan glanced around and said slowly.

The sound is not loud, but the surroundings are quiet, and the sound is especially noticeable in the wilderness.

Soon, a figure emerged from all around, some in the trees, some in the ground, and some in many inconspicuous shadows.

On the road that was cleared in advance by the Ministry of Rites, more than 10,000 people suddenly appeared.

"It's pretty well hidden, and it looks like it's professionally trained." Zhu Zhanyan smiled and nodded, and glanced around.

"Who's leading the team?"

The opposite side obviously had never experienced this kind of battle, or perhaps it was frightened by Zhu Zhan's name, and it took a while for someone to stand up.

"It's okay, at least dare to stand up." Zhu Zhanyan nodded slightly, and then asked with a bit of mockery.

"Whose family are you? To be selected to perform this kind of task must be a bit of a background, otherwise you can lead so many people Not to mention, the spirit of sacrifice for your master is not there. ”

"Also, you should know what the crime of ambushing the royal family is, and don't tell me that you are an escort and not an ambush."

"You should know that there are some things that you don't say and just say, and even your master may not be able to say it."

Zhu Zhanyan's words can be described as quite straightforward, almost pointing at the man's nose and scolding him, which can really be regarded as not very hurtful and insulting.

No, no, if you follow the previous conviction, this is also full of harm.

After all, the ambush of the royal family was to raid the family, and the last one dared to do so, it had to go back to the ninth year of Yongle, when Zhu Gaoxu's family went to Yunnan to take up the domain.

At that time, Chen Zhisheng was copied all over the house, and his teacher Hu Guang personally took Jinyiwei to copy it.

"Xiaguan Liu Pu, meet His Royal Highness King Wu."

After hesitating for a long time, Liu Pu finally knelt on the ground and respectfully saluted Zhu Zhanyan.

"Liu Pu? Interesting......" Zhu Zhanyan laughed when he heard this, and he laughed very happily.

"If I remember correctly, your father is Liu Sheng, right? An Yuanhou? ”

"It's ......" Zhu Zhanyan didn't let him get up, Liu Pu could only grab the ground with his head and kneel on the ground honestly.

"Interesting......" Zhu Zhanyan stepped forward, looking not afraid that Liu Pu would hurt him at all.

"You ......"

"Uh......"

Zhu Zhanyan stepped directly on Liu Pu's head, and his tone was full of contempt.

"I didn't ask who told you to do this, but I can probably guess it."

"So I'm not interested in that, but there's one question I'd like to know."

As Zhu Zhanyan spoke, he slowly squatted down, his left foot still on Liu Pu's head.

"Do you know that you do this?"

"Does he know that you took out the heads of your whole family, and even the Nine Clans?"

"Why don't you go back and ask your father, why is he the Marquis of Anyuan of the Ming Dynasty and the commander of the Shenji Battalion, but that person doesn't dare to look for him, but instead finds you, a childish recruit?"

"As the son of Jiangmen, you should know that no matter which military general in this Shuntian Mansion can turn his back on the court and join me Zhu Zhanqi, but only your father can't, and he doesn't dare."

"And now, what your father didn't dare, you dare to do? It's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers......"

Liu Pu didn't dare to say a word, he was pressed to the ground by Zhu Zhanyan, and let out painful moans from time to time.

Actually, Zhu Zhanyan didn't say nonsense, he really probably knew who arranged this group of people, and he also knew why the person who came was Liu Sheng's son Liu Pu.

The old man will not do this, because the old man knows very well what Zhu Zhanyan represents now, and he knows what kind of great changes will happen to Daming and even the whole world if something happens to Zhu Zhanyan.

Therefore, don't say that the old man deliberately let Zhu Zhanyan leave, even if the old man doesn't want Zhu Zhanyan to leave, he won't do it now.

You must know that Zhu Zhanqi has fought so many places over the years, but now it all depends on Zhu Zhanqi's suppression, as well as the governance of Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanqi.

If the power of repression is gone, then it is bound to be counterattacked.

Don't look at every place Zhu Zhanyan takes, the first ones to clean up are the local tyrants and officials and aristocrats, but no one can complete this kind of thing 100% perfectly, and there will always be fish that slip through the net.

Even if there are no fish that slip through the net, people's desires will slowly increase with the improvement of the quality of life.

Perhaps there will not be a rebellion in those places immediately after Zhu Zhan's death is gone, but at least three or two years, at most five or six years, and chaos will inevitably arise.

At that time, the place where Zhu Zhan Yan fought down will be slowly lost, not to mention, Da Ming will also have to face the joint counterattack of these people.

At that time, the consequences that Daming will face will be much more serious than now.

The current Ming Dynasty is just like when Emperor Taizu Gao divided the kings, Zhu Zhan Yan may not be able to fully understand what Emperor Taizu Gao is thinking, but he can probably guess that he probably suffocated the meat in his own pot.

At that time, no matter who becomes the emperor, it will be a member of the Zhu family, and it will not let outsiders get cheap.

forcibly detained Zhu Zhan Yan in Yingtian, the consequence was not Zhu Di, let alone the person behind Liu Pu who could afford it.

"Let's go." Zhu Zhanyan lifted his feet and rubbed on the ground in disgust.

"Someone will deal with you anyway, so I won't overstep my bounds."

"My saber only cuts foreign enemies and corrupt officials, you ...... Not worthy yet. ”

"Remember to go back and tell me...... Brother, he wants to stop me, he ...... Not yet. ”

After speaking, Zhu Zhanyan directly turned back to his carriage, and Zhu Gaoxu just glanced at Liu Pu, who was still kneeling on the ground, and then turned around and returned to the carriage.

The convoy moved slowly, and there were more than 10,000 people around, although they still had a slight advantage over Zhu Zhan's guards, but they didn't dare to move.

Back in the carriage, Zhu Zhanyan leaned on the carriage and let out a long sigh of relief.

Why was he sure that his good cousin Zhu Zhanji had done this? There are two reasons for this.

The first thing that supported Zhu Zhan's view was his good cousin's reaction to his entry into Beijing.

On the day he entered the palace, Zhu Zhanyan saw his uncle and his cousin standing at the gate of the East Palace, watching him go towards the old man's Qianqing Palace.

At that time, Zhu Zhanyan felt that his cousin's gaze was a little wrong, but because of the stereotypes in the past, he didn't take it to heart.

After all, counting back several years, his cousin still seemed to know something, and knew a little about everything, but he didn't know much about it.

As for the second evidence, it is Liu Pu.

Liu Pu is Liu Sheng's son, and he is also the eldest son, that is, he will inherit Liu Sheng's Marquis of Anyuan in the future, but this Liu Pu ......

Let's put it this way, Tiger Father and Dog, that's what I'm talking about.

Liu Sheng, as the commander of the Shenji Battalion, followed the Yongle Emperor to make many military exploits, and the title of Marquis of Anyuan was won by Liu Sheng, but as Liu Sheng's eldest son, Liu Pu, who inherited the title of Marquis of Anyuan, is really difficult to see in comparison.

Liu Pu's life has some credits, but it is not much, and they are all small internal wars such as banditry and counterinsurgency.

The only time Liu Pu faced a foreign enemy was after the restoration of the God of War, that is, in the first year of Tianshun, the second year of the Ming God of War, when he faced the attack of the northern nomads.

Liu Sheng followed the old man to collect grass several times, and his son Liu Pu chose to close his door in the face of the nomads, and left after letting the enemy plunder until he was satisfied, and he only sent someone to attack at this time, and only cut dozens of ranks, and reported a great victory to the imperial court.

Zhu Zhanyan even wondered if his dozens of enemy leaders were the heads of the enemy.

However, Liu Pu also has a different resume, that is, he used to be a member of the Young Guard, and he was also the first batch.

The so-called young guard, in fact, is the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Zhanji's guard, which was selected by Zhu Di for Zhu Zhanji when he was in Yongle for ten years, which is also the prototype of the later Tengxiang Four Guards.

Of course, because of the appearance of Zhu Zhanyan, there is no young guard in the Ming Dynasty today, but the relationship between Liu Sheng's family and the prince's line is unquestionable.

After all, Liu Sheng is in charge of the Shenji Battalion, it is a firearm, and everyone knows the special nature of the Shenji Battalion, and as the general in charge of the Shenji Battalion, whether it is Zhu Di or Zhu Gaochi, he will not let him fall to Zhu Zhanyan's side.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanyan can probably be sure that these people were sent by his cousin, but whether the purpose is to take his own life or to embarrass himself, it is unknown.

At the very least, Zhu Zhanyan can be sure that his uncle can't do this kind of thing.

And that cousin of his own......

It can only be said that it is not a matter of concern now, at least for now.
