Chapter 773: Sabre Rattling
In all fairness, if someone is replaced as the crown prince, when the emperor is out of Beijing, he encounters such a problem, and he may choose to put it on hold for the time being, and deal with it himself after Lao Zhu returns to Beijing.
However, Zhu Biao is not an indecisive person without responsibility, since he found out about the incident, he should use thunderous means. What is it when my father comes back to deal with it? Could it be that the prince of a country is not even sure that such a trivial matter can be done well?
Originally, seeing that Zhu Biao was confined to family affection and had all kinds of scruples about Ouyang Lun, Zhu Su also felt that this eldest brother was still too indecisive. Until this time, seeing Zhu Biao's resolute behavior, he had made a decision in an instant, and he already had the temperament to be as fierce as Lao Zhu and lead the Nuo Empire to continue to forge ahead, and Zhu Su felt that the future of the Ming Dynasty was really expected to be entrusted to the hands of this eldest brother.
The hesitation of Ouyang Lun at the beginning was just because he was afraid of damaging the Zhu family's family affection, so he threw himself into a trap...... It is precisely because of such a big brother who cares about his relatives that he Zhu Su dares to let go and does not have too many scruples......
Zhu Biao quickly finished writing the warrant and handed it to Zhu Su along with the waist card in the palace and the tiger talisman for dispatching the forbidden army. The so-called forbidden army, that is, the twelve guards of the Gongwei Beijing Division, which is the closest force in the hands of the emperor, now the old Zhu out of Beijing, Zhu Biao supervises the country, this forbidden army tiger charm is naturally one of the hole cards that Zhu Biao relies on to press the bottom of the box. Being able to hand over this tiger talisman to himself also made Zhu Su feel the heavy trust of this big brother.
Zhu Su took Ouyang Lun, who was still confused, and first went to the Qin Wangfu and Yan Wangfu to meet Zhu Fan and Zhu Di, and then came to the barracks of the Twelve Guards of the Forbidden Army with the two brothers. After transferring the five thousand forbidden troops and the three teams of Wang Yan, who should be the "King of Qin", Wang Yan and Wang Wei, they galloped towards the Zhuangzi of the two marquis of Ji'an and Yan'an in the west of the city at a very fast speed.
"Three, three brothers, that Zhuangzi...... Zhuangzi is just ahead. Ouyang Lun's face turned pale and said with a frightened face. Riding a horse all the way, and being in the midst of a vicious military formation, really made this pampered horse master miserable after marrying the princess. Not to mention that the crotch of his trousers seemed to be worn out by the saddle, and the jolts of the speeding speed frightened him even more. Fortunately, my memory is still good, and I didn't mistake the position of Zhuangzi, who had only been here once.
This kind of straw bale actually wants to rely on the royal name to make a living in those big jobs, Zhu Di glanced at Ouyang Lun with disdain, no wonder the eldest brother has a headache, this is really a toad climbing on the surface of his feet, and he responds to people without biting.
Zhu Di didn't even bother to pay attention to this person, but just turned his horse and said to Zhu Su: "Fifth brother, I'll go ahead to explore the way first." This Zhuangzi seems to occupy a lot of land, so we should occupy the location first, and it is appropriate not to enter the village easily. ”
"There is Fourth Brother Lao." Zhu Su nodded. In fact, it won't be too difficult to do this, after all, the Marquis of Ji'an and the Marquis of Yan'an have actually been stripped of their military power, and this time they came to deal with some slave soldiers who were bought by them. But the two of them have always been accustomed to fighting, and they both know the truth of the lion fighting the rabbit and doing their best. Even if he is nine times out of ten, he will not take the enemy lightly.
The 5,000 forbidden troops soon surrounded this hidden imperial village built on the mountainside. Such a big movement quickly alarmed the people in the village, and after a while, a steward walked out of the small door, and when he saw Zhu Su and Zhu Di, the steward accompanied him and said with a smile: "Rank military master, I don't know what happened to Zhuang Zhuang to cause such a big battle?" ”
"The villain's family also has some karma with the military...... Please also ask the military master to be accommodating for the time being, and let the villain send someone into the city to report to the lord's house first, and then reason when the lord's family comes...... Can? ”
"When the court acts, you still have to discuss with your so-called master?" Zhu Fan sneered and looked at the steward condescendingly on the horse. "If you know each other, count one of the people in your village as one, take them out of the village, and hand them over to my brothers and others."
"If you don't know each other, it's just to enter the village, and then tie you out of the village one by one......"
"The villain's family is the Hou Lu family of Ji'an...... Who is the Honorable Driver? But don't you want the water to wash away the Dragon King Temple? The steward still wanted to hide some of it, and when he heard Zhu Rong's rampant words, he could only carry the name of his master in the open, hoping to scare one or two.
Unexpectedly, when Zhu Fan heard this, he smiled directly, gently patted the face of the steward with a horsewhip, and said with a smile: "How big is Ji'anhou's face?" Dare to call yourself the Dragon King Temple? ”
"Rest assured, this king will not be wronged by virtue to convince people."
Hearing Zhu Fan call himself the king, the smiling face that accompanied the steward finally froze, and then trembled.
The prince personally led the troops...... Could it be that the main family has already walked to the Yama Palace?
Seeing that the person in charge was still hesitating, and had no intention of going in again to spread the word, Zhu Fan finally lost his patience. "Fourth, fifth, it seems that there are some secrets hidden in this Zhuangzi, otherwise, why would this guy hide them like this?"
"Since they don't want to come out, why don't we go into the village. Could the low wall of this village be thicker than the wall of the city of Kangju? Second brother, I just happened to see the means of the two younger brothers! ”
An exclamation sounded low behind the courtyard wall, Kangju City, could it be that the soldiers outside the city were the leaders, or the two highnesses of King Zhou and King Yan who are now in full swing?
There has long been a legend that the two highnesses led their troops to fight thousands of miles, attacked the strong enemy Timurid Empire, occupied Kangju, and expanded the territory to a territory beyond the reach of the Tang Dynasty in the past...... If these two highnesses came in person, how could this small village be able to withstand it?
Zhu Su knew that Zhu Fan was deliberately scaring the people in the village, and glanced at the second brother who was out of tune. However, it has come to this point, and it is time to put a little pressure on the real principal in the village. He glanced at Zhu Di, and when he saw Zhu Di nodding, he immediately raised his right hand. "Archer, prepare!"
With a bang, the elite Praetorian Guards of the Ming Dynasty were in unison, their longbows facing upwards at forty-five degrees, and the collision of the armor leaves made a heart-palpitating sound.
"Wait! Three good brothers, and wait! The door of Zhuangzi, which had been closed, suddenly opened. Lu Zhongheng and Tang Shengzong hurriedly walked out of the gate.
"Huh?" Seeing that these two people were here, Zhu Su was really a little surprised. originally thought that this Zhuangzi was just a business of the Hou of Ji'an and Yan'an Hou families no matter what, and even if the two of them ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, they would definitely not dare to seriously hoard soldiers and horses and rebel against the imperial court.
After all, if they really had this ambition, they would not have chosen to lie on the merits and eat the old books of the past.
According to Zhu Su's guess, Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng should still be in the luxurious and extravagant mansion in Yingtian City at this time. The Zhuangzi outside the city was so good that he sent one or two sons to take care of it. After all, no matter how good this business is, how can it be as important as being happy in the house? After all, the 5,000 people who came to Zhuangzi were only partial teachers, and the "main force" that was really used to capture the king should be the Jinyi guards personally sent by Zhu Biao in the city to get people.
Unexpectedly, these two people who should not have appeared outside the city actually appeared here.
"It seems that the things in this Zhuangzi are more important than what he and his eldest brother deduced before......" Zhu Su narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but think in his heart.
