Chapter 353: The source is the emperor (1)(1/2)
"The assassin turned into a caravan, advancing to the capital twenty-six days!"
Originally, it was He Guangyi's office room, but now he is a guest, while Zhu Yunyu is the master.
Zhu Yunxi could not see any emotion on his face, and he listened silently to He Guangyi's report.
"The one who responded to them was Zhang Baisheng, the magistrate of Yingtian Mansion!" He Guangyi's voice was not loud, but he made sure that the emperor could hear it clearly. "The customs clearance documents and household registration documents they used along the way were all true, and they all came from..."
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxiu interrupted He Guangyi, "How many officials are involved in the capital?"
"In addition to Zhang Baisheng's clear knowledge of this, there is another person..." He Guangyi glanced at Zhu Yunxi's expression, "The patrol army is in the Qianhu, and the captain of Zhaoyong Shao Lin!"
"What is their relationship?" Zhu Yunxi asked expressionlessly again.
"Zhang Baisheng is fifty years old and claims to be the old subordinate of Duke Xinguo!" He Guangyi continued without thinking, "In fact, he was the first to be the general of his father Shaorong, the rebel minister Shaorong, and his father was Shaorong's personal soldier. After Shaorong asked for guilt, his father was implicated and killed. He followed the others and was dismissed to Duke Xinguo's command!"
"Shao Lin, is Shao Rong's grandson!"
Another old thing!
Who is Shao Rong?
When the old man had just joined the army of King Chuyang, the nominal father of Zhu Yunxi's grandmother, and Guo Zixing's team, Shao Rong was already the second-in-command of Guo Zixing. Later, Guo Zixing died, and Guo Zixing's son and brother-in-law also died in the chaos. Shao Rong was naturally incorporated by the old man.
However, this is just the official statement.
The real situation is that among the Huaixi Red Turban Army, which was still controlled and enthroned by the King of Xiao Ming at that time, the old man and Shao Rong were once at the same level.
Even after the old man later broke away from the Longfeng Xiaoming regime and became independent, Shao Rong was still ranked among Pingzhang. In the sphere of influence of the old man at that time, Pingzhang had only three people, Xu Dachang Yuchun and Shao Rong.
Even Li Shanchang did not have such honor.
Not that kind of strength!
This period of history was a compulsory course for Zhu Yunyu in the school back then.
The reason why the old man treated this second-in-command of Guo Zixing was to successfully digest Guo Zixing's remaining troops. At the same time, Shao Rong was also a highly prestigious senior in the Red Turban Army. He was also the link between the Huaixi Warrior Group and the Longfeng Group at that time.
Because from a fundamental point of view, the old man's team belongs to the branch of the Northern Red Turban Army.
But such people are unwilling to be inferior to others. The reason why the old man became the absolute leader of the Huaixi Martial Arts Group is not as simple as just a few words in history books.
In the 23rd year of Zhizheng in Yuan Dynasty.
Shao Rong was killed for committing a crime of treason!
It is said that at that time someone said that Shao Rong was innocent, but was guilty or not. Is it very important?
It is said that the old man was also unsure of whether to kill Shao Rong. After all, this person was his immediate boss, and he was the last appearance of Guo Zixing's army.
It is said that the old man wanted to imprison him to death at that time!
It is said that at that time, Chang Yuchun shouted directly in front of the old man, "If Shao Rong succeeded in rebellion, will we still have life? Will he let our wife, relatives, and even generals go...?"
The final result was that Shaorong died and his son was sent to his army.
The old man at that time was not as ruthless as he would in the future. He still left some incense to his old people.
However, unexpectedly, the incense he kept that day almost killed Zhu Yunyu today.
"One is Shao Rong's old subordinate, and the other is his grandson. It makes sense to say that they collude with each other!" Zhu Yunxi was silent for a long time and said, "As expected, since these assassins are from Guizhou, they should be from the Yan family in Shuixi!"
He Guangyi possessed him, "Yes! The Yan family's soldiers! They are not in the military list, saying they are family soldiers, but they are equivalent to the Yan family's slaves. The whole clan relies on the Yan family's face to seek life, let them live, let them live, let them die!"
"Yes!" Zhu Yunxiu said lightly again, "In this way, the truth of this matter has been revealed!"
He Guangyi dared not answer this.
~
The hereditary border town of the Ming Dynasty was actually not just the Mu family in Yunnan, but also the Yan family, a Shuixing Army in Guizhou.
In later generations, the Water West Rule was probably the Bijie generation, and it was a major transportation route that entered Yunnan and even controlled Yunnan.
Yan Gan, the first generation of the Yan family's Shuxi General Zhaoyong, also has another identity, Shao Rong's cousin.
When the old man just joined Guo Zixing's command and was just a big-headed soldier, Yan Gan was the Zhengqianhu under Shao Rong's command, and then followed Shao Rong and followed the old man to break through Yingtian Mansion.
Shao Rong was the political affairs officer of Pingzhang, and Yan Gan was the commander of Yingtian Prefecture.
Then Shao Rong asked for guilt, and Yan Gan was sent to Mu Ying as a soldier.
This man is also a strange man. After great ups and downs, he made great achievements and even saved Mu Chun's life on the battlefield, making Mu Chun honored as his righteous brother. Then Mu Chun strongly recommended him to sit in the water, become a hereditary ruler, and take charge of the military and political power of the border.
In the 26th year of Hongwu, when Yan Gan died of illness, Mu Chun was deeply saddened, and the court also posthumously awarded Yan Gan as the Bijie City God.
To be fair, Yan Gan made great contributions to Guizhou. The local barbarians were able to be at peace and the local officials surrendered to the court, so they were all because of this.
Another thing that makes people admire is this person's loyalty and righteousness.
In the second year of Hongwu, Yan Gan was transferred to Ankang and met Shao Zuo, who was exiled to the army, who was exiled, the son of Shao Rong.
He was grateful for the kindness and affection of his cousin Shao Rong when he was young, and resolutely used his eldest son Yan Xiang to replace Shao Zuo as a military officer.
This kind of loyalty and righteousness moved the old man.
Then, not only did Shao Zuo pardon him, but he also allowed him to stay in the army. Until the 14th year of Hongwu, when Shao Zuo died in battle, his sons were all named the Herald Qianhu because of his merits.
Now Yan Gan has passed away, and the one who inherited the title of Shuixi Zhengli was his second son Yan Wen. The rest of the Yan family were also hereditary military officers, and they can be said to be a rare general outside the Huaixi martial arts group.
"The people who can send the Yan family and Shao family to let them do such a big thing... Haha!" Zhu Yunxiu suddenly smiled bitterly, "You should be able to think of who it is?"
Suddenly, He Guangyi knelt on his knees and kowtowed, "I dare not think!" As he said, he looked up and said, "Your Majesty, I think you should be cautious. Is there any other hidden information?"
Zhu Yunxiu slowly stood up and smiled bitterly, "I offended many people, so many people have reasons to want to kill me. I have thought about whether they were the aristocratic families in Jiangnan, were they local officials from all over the country? Or were they even the remnants of Goryeo and people from the Burmese Kingdom? But I never expected that... the one who wanted to kill me was actually my relatives..."
"Emperor!" He Guangyi choked, "People's hearts are separated from their belly..."
As he said that, he was suddenly shocked, stood up and hugged the shaking Zhu Yunxiu directly, "Emperor!"
Plop!
Zhu Yunxiu sat on the chair powerlessly, with moist eyes, "Outsiders want to kill me, I am just angry. But my relatives' betrayal, I... can't tolerate it!"
Then, he opened his eyes and looked at He Guangyi, "Where is Shao Lin?"
"Jun Guo has already gone to capture him just now!"
"Quick!" Zhu Yunxiu gritted his teeth.
But the next second he was a little confused, if he really got the answer he wanted.
How should he face it?
~~
Bei'an Street, Shao's House.
Compared with the numerous noble mansions around Bei'an Street, Shao's house is as shabby as a country bumpkin.
In the main hall, a burly man sat nervously in the Grand Master's chair, his whole body wrapped in iron armor, only a pair of eyes exposed.
In her eyes, there was a hint of fear but a trace of determination...
At this moment, it was not big, but there was no one in the courtyard except him.
His family and slaves have been dismissed.
But wherever he went now, he was not sure.
Suddenly, his big hand tightly grabbed the spear in his hand and slowly stood up.
Look alertly at the direction of the door.
~
"Shao Lin?"
"Um!"
"My name is Guo Guanseng, come and catch you!"
"Um!"
In the yard, the two of them stood face to face, several meters apart.
Suddenly, Guanseng Guo frowned slightly, looked at the Jinyiwei musketeer standing on the roof and on the wall, and said seriously, "You aim at it, don't hit me!"
All the musketeers were stunned, not understanding why Lord Tongzhi actually spoke like this in such a serious occasion.
"Do you know why I came?" Guo Guanseng asked again.
"Yeah!" Shao Lin nodded.
"I didn't expect me to be so fast, did you?"
"I didn't expect that the leader of the Jinyiwei was actually a chatterbox!"
"Ha!" Guo Guanseng smiled, "Not that, I just feel a little curious about you...I feel a little curious!" As he said that, he looked straight at the other party, "Do you regret it? You should regret it?"
"I have done everything, what are you regretting!" Shao Lin sneered, "My descendants of the Shao family avenged their ancestors and died without regrets!"
"Tsk tsk tsk!" Guo Guanseng rolled his eyes, "It's so righteous! Why didn't you report it before? Ha, did you not remember it before?" As he said, he took two steps back, "It's not that you didn't remember it, but you dare not. Now someone has promised you a generous reward, so you are desperate to take a bet!"
"Yeah, yeah, that's what it should be!" Guo Guanseng took a few more steps back, "You are not a very brave person, are you?"
To be continued...
