Chapter 107: Entering Beijing
Gu Dayong walked to the incense table, spread out the holy decree, and slowly recited.
The tone of this holy decree was extremely harsh, and it was obviously this incident that made the little emperor extremely angry! The meaning of the whole holy decree was to express great indignation at King An for casually selling the ink treasure of the first emperor to unknown traders, saying that this was a great disrespect for the first emperor by King An!
After reading it, Gu Da proudly accepted the holy decree and said to King An: "How about it, His Royal Highness King An, take the decree!"
"Thank you for the decree!" King An raised his hands above his head, held the holy decree, and led everyone to get up. Then he said to Gu Dayong: "Lord Qincha, I didn't sell any Emperor Mobao, is there any misunderstanding here?"
Gu Dayong shook his head and said: "Holy decree, but I don't know so much! Our family just knows that Your Majesty has asked you to enter Beijing, so you will enter Beijing immediately, and you will not say much! Your Highness, let's pack up and prepare to leave for Beijing!"
At this time, Gu Dayong turned out a fair-skinned eunuch with a white face and smeared with grease and powder, only to see him "smile", so that everyone fell to the ground with a prickly heat, only to hear him say: "His Royal Highness King An, you are about to enter Beijing, then this Ningxia City cannot be left without an owner for a day, should it be handed over to our family?"
"Gonggong Lao Li is bothered!" King An bowed his hand tepidly and said, "Ningxia City was originally the jurisdiction of Jiang Han and Jiang's general soldiers, and it was guarded by him! Jiang General soldiers entrusted me with all the affairs of Ningxia City because of the police on the Great Wall, and I dare not slack off in the slightest! Now that I am going to the capital because of the holy order, I will naturally hand over this errand!"
It turned out that this greased and powdered was the eunuch Li Zeng, who listened to King An's words, and his old face was like a chrysanthemum, screwed together with a smile, and the fat powder on his face fell down.
Seeing this scene, Ma Fengyue frowned and said nothing, but Miao Ling was shocked and frowned, and he couldn't wait to step forward and slap him with a big ear.
Unexpectedly, King An's voice changed and said: "Since the errand was entrusted to me by Jiang Zongbing, and now I want to enter Beijing, then this errand naturally has to be handed over to Jiang Zongbing!"
"Huh?" Li Zeng's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said, "How is it possible, Jiang Han is now fighting on the border with a large army, where is the time to come back to deliver the errand?"
"Jiang Zongbing doesn't have time, but it doesn't mean that he can't send someone back!" King An smiled slightly, and in this smile, there was a hint of pride, only to see him bow his hand slightly towards the door, and said, "Virtuous nephew, you are back!"
Gu Dayong, Li Zeng, and everyone in the palace of An Wang looked at the gate of the courtyard, and saw a heroic young general walking in with a team of fierce soldiers.
After he came in, when he passed by Li Zeng, he snorted heavily, and then came to King An's side, saluted King An and said, "Jiang Zheng has seen His Royal Highness King An!"
"It's good that the virtuous nephew is back!" Wang An grabbed the hand of the young general Jiang Zheng and said, "Your father handed over this burden to me, I really didn't sleep well!
"The little nephew entered the city, all the way, and found that Ningxia has changed a lot, and the people are beaming, obviously His Royal Highness King An governs Ningxia and wins the hearts of the people!"
King An pointed at Gu Dayong and said: "Virtuous nephew, this is the prince of Xichang Factory, the Qincha from the capital! I will enter Beijing soon, I can't do anything for Ningxia City, after Ningxia City, I have to ask for a virtuous nephew!"
"The little nephew must live up to his mission!" Jiang Zheng gave up his hand.
King An picked up the seal from the tray handed over by Sun Jingwen, solemnly handed it to Jiang Zheng, and then said, "Ningxia will ask the virtuous nephew!"
"Little nephew takes the order!" Jiang Zheng happily took the seal and handed him over to the soldiers who came with him.
Li Zeng and Gu Dayong watched in amazement as King An and Jiang Zheng completed the transfer of power, Li Zeng's face was full of fat, and he was so angry that he pointed at Jiang Zheng and said to King An: "His Royal Highness King An, who is this kid, since you dare to be so relieved to entrust this important town in Ningxia to him a yellow-mouthed erector!"
"I'm a Huangkou erector?" Jiang Zheng couldn't help but change color when he heard this, waited for Li Zeng, and said, "I am the general of Ningxia Wei Zhengzhi, and I am the official of the imperial court!"
When the soldiers heard that this disgusting eunuch actually looked down on Jiang Zheng, they also glared angrily and said: "General Jiang is the son of the chief soldier and a fierce general in a hundred battles, how can he not afford to be the town guard of Ningxiawei!"
I heard that Jiang Zheng turned out to be Jiang Han's own son, and Li Zeng and Gu Dayong were both discolored.
Gu Da looked at Li Zeng with a reproachful expression, and Li Zeng himself was also bitter.
The purpose of coming to Ningxia is to find a way to obtain the rights of Ningxia Wei from Jiang Han, so as to Wei and Liu Jin and others in Beijing.
At first, Li Zeng just watched the changes and didn't make too many moves.
After Jiang Han led his army north because of the police on the Great Wall, Li Zeng jumped out, wanting to obtain the command of the remaining 10,000 border troops in Ningxia and the government authority of Ningxia.
However, King An was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and directly rejected Li Zeng's request on the grounds of Jiang Han's entrustment.
Li Zeng had no choice but to transfer out of Ningxia City.
Later, when Liu Jin was in the family, he pointed the finger at King An, wanting to overthrow King An, one is to set an example for the world, and the other is to seize power.
As for Jiang Han, he maintained the idea that if he could be wooed, he would be wooed, and if he couldn't be wooed, he should not be easily offended.
After all, Jiang Han has tens of thousands of male soldiers, and Liu Jin still doesn't want to offend too much.
But now Li Zeng questioned Jiang Zheng, that is, he offended Jiang Han and his family, and he was afraid that in this power competition in Ningxia, he would directly fall into the disadvantage! How could this not make Gu Dayong annoyed, originally he got such a good opportunity this time, even if Li Zeng could not obtain all the rights in Ningxia, at least he could share a little profit, but because of Li Zeng's recklessness and ignorance, he directly buried all this.
Gu Dayong snorted coldly and said to King An: "His Royal Highness King An, you clean up as soon as possible, our family is waiting for you outside, Your Majesty doesn't want to wait for you for too long!" After speaking, Gu Dayong directly took his team and withdrew from this small courtyard.
Li Zeng also chased after Gu Dayong in a hurry, ready to go to Gu Dayong to explain.
Seeing that the two of them came arrogantly and left in a state of interest, everyone including Ma Fengyue, Miao Ling, and Jiang Zheng laughed together, Gu Da shook his shoulders with anger, forced himself to suppress his anger, and then walked out heavily.
After everyone laughed for a long time, King An signaled everyone to be quiet, and said to Jiang Zheng: "Virtuous nephew, after I leave, everything in Ningxia will be entrusted to you! You have to be extra careful of Li Zeng, this time he has suffered a secret loss, I am afraid that it will take advantage of the absence of your father and me, which will be unfavorable to you!"
"Uncle, don't worry, I'm not so calculating!" Jiang Zheng said nonchalantly. His father Jiang Han and King An are actually friends of eight worships, and he is called Uncle Anwang, which is also right.
In the end, King An handed over all the rights to Jiang Zheng.
The remaining guards in the palace were also under the leadership of Sun Jingwen and obeyed Jiang Zheng.
As for He Jin, he led a large number of guards, either bright or secret, to follow King An into Beijing.
Ma Fengyue was also worried about King An's safety, and by the way, she also wanted to go to Beijing with King An to investigate.
At the moment, he entrusted the affairs of the gang to Miao Ling, who had inconvenient legs and feet, and he took the elite gang to secretly protect King An into Beijing.
Zhu Zhi was originally prepared to stay by King An and cooperate with Jiang Zheng to guard it.
However, Zhu Zhi felt that he had not done a good job of protecting the first emperor Mobao, and tried his best to enter Beijing.
King An was helpless, so he ordered Zhu Zhi to follow him.
After handing over all the rights in this way, Jiang Zheng was repeatedly mentioned, and King An and everyone together, there were only three or five hundred people in the open, and secretly they marched towards the capital on a huge scale.
Along the way, King An also ordered the people who were secretly guarding to investigate the clues of Zilong and Wan'er in many ways, and everyone walked in a roundabout way, not for a day.
As for Zilong and Wan'er at this time, they had already come to the capital, and according to the address given by Sun Jingwen, they couldn't find Ma Degui's mansion at all, and they were even more sure that this incident was a conspiracy.
It is not easy to live in Beijing, not only the price of the capital is not low, but the dignitaries are everywhere, and the housing price is also high, which is for every inch of land.
Ordinary people can have a property in Beijing, which can be regarded as extremely wealthy.
Most of the wealthy people in Beijing live east of Bauhinia City. Ma Degui's address is just on the north side of Nanxunfang, on the south side of Dong'anmen, and across the street is where the Dongchang Yamen is located.
Zilong and Wan'er entered the city from Fuchengmen, and came to live in Yongfang in Dashi, pretending to be a newlywed Yan'er and a young couple who came to Beijing to play.
At nightfall, the two quietly avoided the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who were patrolling the streets, and rushed all the way to the residence of Ma Degui in Nanxunfang.
This Ma Degui is not a powerful relative, and he is not a cabinet minister, but he has a mansion of no less than 100 acres at the gate of Bauhinia City in Nanxunfang, which is every inch of money.
Compared with Li Dongyang, the first assistant of the cabinet, it is not far behind.
This house is carved with jade railings and is extremely luxurious.
It was already nighttime, but the huge mansion was still brightly lit, as if it were day.
The silk and bamboo inside are continuous, and the voices are boiling, which is extremely lively.
Zilong and the two of them can see that there is a lot of traffic around, so it is not lively, and the courtyard wall is everywhere, and there are guards patrolling from time to time, which seems to be extremely vigilant.
The two couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Although Ma Degui's mansion looks heavily guarded, Zilong and Wan'er also have to break in.
At that moment, Zilong and the others found a relatively lax position and jumped into the courtyard.
As soon as he fell to the ground, two guards heard the wind and shouted, "Who is it?"
Zilong saw that these two people were carrying lanterns, and they came quickly, and they didn't answer, they ran lightly, and with a dodge, they had already come to the eyes of the two, and between the two of them, they directly pointed out with both hands and hit the black sweet points of the two respectively.
The two of them only felt a flower in front of them, so they fell straight back.
Wan'er also reacted quickly, rushed forward directly, and lifted the two of them up at once.
Zilong saw the clothes of the two, pointed at the two, and nodded at the two of them.
Wan'er understood, and together with Zilong, pulled the two down behind a rockery, and after removing their clothes, they changed into clothes directly.
The two of them lifted the lanterns, dressed up as the courtyard, and walked towards the courtyard.
All the way to meet the maid servant, they all avoided the two.
And the two of them also pretended not to squint, and slowly walked towards the place where the voices were buzzing.
After walking for a while, I saw the corridor in front of me turn around and come to a courtyard outside.
Four burly guards crossed their waists and pressed their knives at the door.
His eyes were constantly roaming around, full of vigilance. The sound came from inside the courtyard.
When the four guards saw Zilong and the others coming, one of them shouted violently and said, "Which master are you under it? Do you still understand the rules, how can this Mingyue Pavilion break in casually?"
Wan'er lowered her head, and behind Zilong's figure, Zilong arched his hand and said, "We are new here, and we were originally guarding the courtyard in the east, but in a hurry, we took the wrong road, and the eldest brother will bear one or two!"
"From the East Courtyard?" Hearing this, the nursing courtyard's eyes twitched, and he said with a puzzled expression, "You were found by Master Chen?"
Zilong heard the words of the nursery, put his hands behind his back, and gestured to Wan'er.
Wan'er understood, nodded without a trace, bowed her body, her whole body was full of strength, and she just waited for Zilong to make a move.
I didn't want the two of them to be ready to attack, but the four nurses had already pulled out their waist knives and rushed up.
The nurse who answered Zilong rushed to kill while shouting, "Master Long, someone has broken in!" This sound was like thunder on the ground, and the sound of laughter in the Mingyue Pavilion that directly exploded came to an abrupt end. There was a sound of breaking the sky, wafting outside.
