Chapter 44 Return to Guangxi

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Zhu Hengjia swaggered into the Mengquan Palace of the Gaoping Mo family. The palace servants and chamberlains on the side saluted him one after another. He was the conqueror here, and no one dared to stop him, even for a moment.

He now fully understands the famous words of Caesar when he watched the movie "Julius Caesar" in later generations: "I'm here! I've seen! I've won!" But he didn't feel the slightest bit happy in his heart.

Tomorrow he will leave Gaoping and return to Guilin. When he thought of leaving Zhao Baolian, he suddenly felt lost, as if he had lost something important. Once upon a time, he thought she was just a dancer, a poor plaything. He I rewarded her with a jade pendant, but she said that she was the crown prince of the Gaoping Mo family.

At first he thought he just liked her noble status and beautiful body; at first he thought he only regarded her as a trophy and a tool to vent his lust; at first he thought he was just curious about her exotic charm. But now, he discovered that I was wrong, terribly wrong. Some things didn’t happen just because they didn’t happen, and some people can forget just because they said they forgot!

After we say goodbye tonight, when will you come again?

He and she are worlds apart. She is the princess of the Annan Mo Dynasty and the mother of the Annan people; he is the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty and the future emperor of Kyushu and China. They all have their own responsibilities. It is so difficult to meet again!

Zhu Hengjia walked into Zhao Baolian's palace. The palace door was not closed. Even if it was closed, it could not shut out the spring scenery in the palace.

He walked over and saw that the bed in the palace was warm and soft. He stretched out his hand and touched an even warmer and softer body, as smooth as silk.

"Lian'er!" He shouted softly.

Zhao Baolian didn't let him finish. She suddenly touched him and blocked his mouth with her warm and soft lips.

Her body was as warm and sweet as the grassland in spring, and he suddenly fell into a deep and warm happiness. The rapid breathing turned into an ecstatic moan, gently pulling him.

He wanted to say some love words to say goodbye to her, but the silent words came as his lips rubbed against her ear. She seemed to understand those words, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

His precious tears made him tremble. Although he had time-traveled into a little old man, his soul was still that ignorant young man longing for love.

Sometimes I really hope that each other is just a passerby in each other's life, coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry!

After an unknown amount of time, the tent was opened again. He got up and changed his clothes, but there was a pair of slender legs as white as jade following closely behind him, with a slight trembling, like willow branches in the spring breeze.

He was cruel and pushed her away gently: "Lian'er, I'm gone, I can't bear to leave you, but I have no choice!"

??

A mighty and majestic army was walking on the road from Taiping Prefecture to Nanning Prefecture. Zhu Hengjia ordered the grain and grass supplies to travel along the Yujiang, Xunjiang, and Guijiang waterways, and he led the army by land. He wanted to see the Huahua River under his rule. .

In the grass on both sides of the road, a young man was frightened by the momentum of the army and timidly said to an old farmer: "Dad, why don't we go back first?"

The old farmer was furious: "Xiao Erzi, have you forgotten your eldest brother's revenge?"

There was an endless stream of troops, and the old farmer didn't know who to look for. Suddenly he saw a big flag, which was bigger than the other flags.

"What an injustice! Mr. Qingtian! Please make the decision for the people!"

Compared with tens of thousands of troops, the appearance of two grassroots people is like dropping a pebble in the sea, without even a ripple; however, it does not mean that it does not exist.

Soon, the guards reported the whole story to Zhu Hengjia: The old farmer's name was Zhang Tiezhu, and the young man's name was Zhang Erxi. They were from Zhangjiazhuang, Xuanhua County, Nanning Prefecture. The landowner Kui Kui of Zhangjiazhuang wanted to occupy his family's five acres of paddy field.

The eldest son was not angry and went to Zhang Kui to argue, but was beaten to death by Zhang Kui. This incident aroused public outrage, and villagers gathered in Xuanhua County to file a complaint. Seeing the fierce public opinion, Li Feng, the county magistrate, sentenced Zhang Kui to death. It turned out that this incident

So far. As a result, Zhang Kui's family used money. On the day of the execution, Zhang Tiezhu and his son discovered that although the beheaded man had his face smeared with pot ashes, it was clearly not Zhang Kui. That Zhang Kui was more than five feet tall, and

He was thick and strong; the one who was stabbed was a little over four feet tall and thin and small. So Zhang Tiezhu and his son went to Nanning Prefecture to file a complaint, but Qiu Ziqi, the prefect of Nanning, ignored him on the pretext of finding no evidence. The two were helpless.

The army passed through here in triumph, so they filed a royal petition.

"Rebellion! Human life is at stake! How dare you find someone to blame for such a serious crime as beheading! Is there any royal law?" Zhu Hengjia was furious when he heard about this. He smashed all the imperial cases into pieces and sent people to take Li Feng, the magistrate of Xuanhua County, into custody.

Wu Yu, the young minister of Dali Temple, and Bai, the doctor of Xingbu, were ordered to take over the new positions. Li Ruyue, the supervisory censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the three legal divisions jointly reviewed the case.

After handling the matter, Zhu Hengjia led his army and continued to Xunzhou.

"Sir, something has happened! Li Feng, the magistrate of Xuanhua County, was arrested by the supervisor. The supervisor ordered the three judicial departments to review the case." Tang Miaocai, an accomplice of Qiu Ziqi, the prefect of Nanning, hurriedly reported to Qiu Ziqi.

Qiu Ziqi's heart tightened. Among the counties and prefectures in Nanning, Li Feng of Xuanhua County followed him closely and gave the most gifts. If Li Feng fell and pulled out the carrots to bring out the mud, he would be in danger.

"Sir, look, what should we do about this matter?"

"Sir, Li Feng is still detained in the Xuanhua County Government Office. You should make a decision immediately before the officials from the Third Division arrive." Tang Miaocai made a gesture of wiping his neck.

When he arrived in Xunzhou, he visited the people and saw that the people were prosperous and living and working in peace and contentment. Zhu Hengjia felt much better: "Liang Wenming, the prefect of Xunzhou, is a good official!"

Not long after I was happy, news came: Li Feng, the magistrate of Xuanhua County, hanged himself in the county government office out of fear of crime.

"You hang yourself for fear of crime? You will die sooner or later, but he will die as soon as he investigates the case? Qiu Ziqi, are you a three-year-old child?" Zhu Hengjia was so angry that he threw the tea cup.

After calming down, Zhu Hengjia ordered Li Feng to be beheaded, and Zhang Kui's and Zhang Kui's heads were hung at the gate of Xuanhua City. This was to calm the public's anger, and to deter corrupt officials and serve as police officers. The case was temporarily closed.

"Qiu Ziqi! Hum!" Zhu Hengjia took out a small booklet, wrote Qiu Ziqi's name, and drew a circle with vermilion.

Dianbao Zhengma Huanxi, who was waiting next to him, was so frightened that all the characters recorded in the booklet who were circled in red, such as Chen Bangchuan, Cen Zhaozhen, etc., did not die well in the end. As far as Ma Huanxi knew, the only one who was circled in red

On the list, the only one who is still alive and well is Grand Tutor Ding Kuichu.

Ma Huanxi secretly remembered Qiu Ziqi's name: From now on, if this official gives gifts to our family, we will not be able to accept them even to death.

After leaving Xuzhou Prefecture, he came to Pingle Prefecture. Zhu Hengjia met two old friends: one was his number one confidant, Sun Jinding, a bachelor of Dongge University and the Minister of Rites. Sun Jinding was ordered by Zhu Hengjia to appease the Miao people in the three prefectures of Xunwuping.

, The job was done well, Zhu Hengjia said a few words of encouragement; the other was the beautiful Huang Wan, Huang Empress, before Zhu Hengjia set off, he asked her to wait for him from Liuzhou to Pingle. A small farewell is better than a wedding. Ten thousand words are omitted here.

.

"Hurry up! Hang up the flags and lanterns of warm welcome! Call the bosses from all the major restaurants! Also tell the dancers in the Yingchun Tower to let them rehearse well. After serving the Supervisor,

I will give you a big reward!" Hearing that Zhu Hengjia was going to pass through Pingle, Yuan Mingzhang, the prefect of Pingle, was so happy that he couldn't sleep and started making arrangements intensively. This is a good opportunity to curry favor with the supervisor, no, and to be diligent in the king's affairs.

"Your Excellency, according to the order of the Supervisor of the State, in order to prevent disturbing the people, the army did not enter the city and went directly back to Guilin via the plank road."

"Okay, you've been busy for nothing!" Yuan Mingzhang was discouraged.

"Yuan Mingzhang", Zhu Hengjia wrote down the name on the small booklet and wanted to circle it with vermilion, but then put it down.

??

Xijing, the small court of Zhu Hengjia, and the Wenchang Gate of Guilin City, the capital of Guangxi, were crowded with people waiting inside and outside, including men, women, old and young, officials and common people. Some of them were holding chicken, duck and fish, some were holding snacks and fruits, and some were holding kettles.

He stretched his neck and waited anxiously.

"Coming!"

The crowd became excited and rushed forward.

"Quiet!" The government officials on both sides hurriedly maintained order, busy, busy, but the government officials themselves shed tears. For the great cause of Prince Jingjiang's domination, almost every family in Guilin City has a concubine!

"Son! That's great! You're still alive!" The gray-haired old man was extremely excited.

"Baby, call me daddy!" A woman smiled.

"Dad, my son is back! He has become the captain of the sentry!" A Jingjun primary school student shouted happily in the queue.

There are also those who cannot find their relatives. Their eyes change from joy to fear, sadness, and choked cries drift in the wind.

There are so many things about the rise and fall of the world! To those in power, it is just a joke about the king's dominance. But to the leaders of Guizhou, it is: prosperity, the people will suffer; death, the people will suffer!

Looking at the huge waiting team, he heard faint cries of sadness or joy. Zhu Hengjia had mixed feelings: Before the expedition, he only had one province in Guilin, but now he has almost all of Guangxi, four provinces and one state in Guangdong, and Annan. The three prefectures of the country. In the course of their own conquests, the people of Guilin made great contributions, and many soldiers were buried in other places.

"I'm so sorry for the elders of Guilin!" Zhu Hengjia's eyes were moist: "I have passed on Gu's decree, and each household in Guilin City will be given one tael of silver, five dou of rice, and two pots of wine! I want to celebrate with the elders of Guilin!"
