After hearing this, Gao Wencai, who was beside him, froze on the spot and looked hesitantly at Wang Guoxing, who was coming over, not knowing what to do.
"His Majesty asks you to go, just go, won't you kidnap people?"
When Wang Guoxing saw Gao Wencai like this, he immediately scolded him. His Majesty was so hesitant in giving orders. At this juncture, if he still showed a state of disobedience, it would really be a disaster.
"I obey, little one!"
Without any further hesitation, Gao Wencai immediately took several people on horseback and rushed to Mr. Fan Ge's house.
"Your Majesty..." Wang Guoxing immediately bowed to Zhu Ling and saluted, recalling the scene where his subordinates hesitated just now and couldn't bear to say.
"I know he was frightened by my words."
The royal guards began to line up on both sides in an orderly manner. The harem team stood on one side, and the officials' team stood on the other side. Those ministers among them said goodbye to their families and came to Zhu Ling's side.
"How can the dignified Ming Pavilion Elder be treated like this?" Zhu Ling turned his eyes, and his words seemed to be defending Gao Wencai, but then he said: "But I have to be like this. I was guarding the capital with Yi Ge Elder before, but I was just afraid
Mr. Ge will be angry and even more afraid that he will do something exciting. Now, if I still have Mr. Ge in the capital, I have abandoned him."
"Do you understand?" After saying that, Zhu Ling turned around and said to the ministers behind him: "Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Everyone shouted in unison, and Zhu Ling was much satisfied after hearing such an answer.
Gao Wencai, who galloped to Fan's Mansion without saying a word, knocked on the door and rushed in regardless of the obstruction of his servants. But this scary man knew something about the imperial court and knew that his lord was the current minister of the Ming Dynasty.
The old man was not the target of having his house confiscated, so he was not afraid at all when faced with the menacing Jin Yiwei.
"What do you want to do? This is Mr. Ge's home! Do you want to kill people or raid your home?"
Without even looking at the arrogant servant, Gao Wencai glanced at the flag school behind him and immediately restrained the servant with his backhand, and then said coldly: "I'm not here to ransack your home, nor am I here to kill anyone, I'm here to treat you.
My lord has left here."
At this time, Fan Jingwen was still in sleep, until there were knocks on the door outside. Mr. Ge, who had been sleeping lightly, was suddenly interrupted at this time, and he was quite angry. He stood up and yelled: "Who disturbed me?"
dream?"
"Mr. Fan Ge, your Majesty please leave the capital."
Hearing such a sentence coming from outside the door, Mr. Fan Ge heard that it was His Majesty's intention. Although he did not dare to scold him like that, he was still dissatisfied.
"Go and report back to Your Majesty, saying that I have already planned not to leave. Your Majesty knows that, so don't bother me again."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the room was suddenly forcibly opened, and then a group of royal guards rushed in. The leader, Gao Wencai, looked at Mr. Fan Ge who was still lying on the bed, saluted, and then said indifferently: "Your Majesty ordered Mr. Ge to do so."
Tie me up!"
"Come here! Tie up Mr. Fan Ge!"
Just when the Jinyi guards were about to kidnap someone, they were suddenly scolded by Fan Jingwen. With his face filled with anger, he got out of bed, looked at Gao Wencai and said, "Get out! I'll do it myself!"
Seeing Mr. Ge like this, Gao Wencai didn't know what to say, so he had to retreat.
"Old man, what's going on? Why did His Majesty send the royal guards to tie you up?" Mrs. Fan Jingwen stood up uneasily and asked worriedly.
"It's okay. You can go on to rest. After I get dressed and go with the royal guards, I can scold His Majesty."
…
The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and it seems that the sun is gradually rising in the east. It is still a bit cold in Beijing in late March, and it is even more so in this early morning.
"Your Majesty, if Mr. Fan Ge insists on not coming, I can leave later. The time has come." Li Banghua saw that everyone was freezing here, and Mr. Fan Ge never came, so he couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade him.
"We have to wait. If Li Qing gets cold, go back to the carriage to keep warm. I'm not in a hurry."
Zhu Ling was still facing the direction of Fan Jingwen's mansion, standing still and indifferent to the persuasion of the people around him. It seemed that without Mr. Fan Ge, His Majesty's heart would not leave.
Wang Jiayan couldn't stand it anymore. There were so many people waiting for Fan Jingwen here, but he still didn't come. He was a little angry. He stepped forward and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, traveling south is extremely important. You must not waste the opportunity. Once
If the news leaks out, wouldn’t it be wrong for me to wait when the intruder finds out?"
"hold on."
Zhu Ling remained unmoved and kept looking in that direction.
coming.
As a team of people gradually approached here, Zhu Ling became more and more excited because he saw that it was Gao Wencai's team!
He immediately stepped forward to greet them. Wang Guoxing and the ministers behind him also hurriedly followed behind. A group of people met Gao Wencai and others. Fan Jingwen also stopped his horse at this time and dismounted with the help of Gao Wencai.
As soon as he got off the horse, Fan Jingwen asked Zhu Ling coldly with a straight face: "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, when the traitors attacked Your Majesty that day, I already told Your Majesty that I would not leave!"
Every word is sonorous and powerful.
"I know, but I want to regret it." Fan Jingwen's current status is the first among civil servants. Even though he is only a cabinet member and even has a low rank, it still does not affect his status among civil servants.
"Your Majesty has spoken so eloquently, but you cannot go back on your words at will." Fan Jingwen's tone also softened slightly, and his tone was heavy.
"If Elder Ge insists on not leaving, once the capital is breached, will the safety of his family be in danger?"
"I will die with you."
These words were completely ready to die, but Zhu Ling couldn't accept it.
"I will not let Mr. Fan Ge have no descendants. I hope that Mr. Ge will let his son Fan Xianchao go with me."
After hearing His Majesty's sincere words and thinking of his own child, I finally couldn't bear it, so I had no choice but to nod and agree.
"Fan Xianchao, say goodbye to your father!"
Following Zhu Ling's words, Fan Xianchao arrived here without knowing when, and then appeared in front of everyone. With tears in his eyes, he knelt down towards Fan Jingwen and kowtowed to say goodbye.
"My son, you must not disgrace the reputation of your ancestors!"
The southbound team regrouped and set off. There were 200 Jinyi guards in front to open the way, and 200 Jinyi guards on both sides to protect the two sides. Finally, 200 flag schools on each side protected the rear of the team and were responsible for escorting the carriage along the way.
Seeing the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and almost the entire imperial court getting farther and farther away, Fan Jingwen finally couldn't help crying at this moment and shouted loudly to his son who was riding behind his majesty.
"After the Fan family, there are no cowards!"
The team advanced slowly along the pre-planned route. The daimyo flags hanging high were quite impressive, but after all, it was still early in the morning and most people were still sleeping. In addition, Zhu Ling asked the team to remain silent on the road and not to disturb them.
The people, so the team did not disturb the people along the way.
But someone had already laid an ambush on the only way for the southbound team to pass. There were dozens of masked killers lurking on the houses on both sides, each holding a steel knife and carrying a crossbow on his back, with murderous intent in his eyes. There are still people here.
In the somewhat dim environment, their black clothes looked extremely secretive.
These were the officials who attempted to assassinate Zhu Ling and welcome the intruders into the city. At this moment, they were also anxiously waiting for this moment to come. Originally, they were all familiar with the saint's books and loyal to the emperor, but
Because of the injustice of the imperial court, His Majesty's idleness caused them a lot of dissatisfaction.
But this is not because Zhu Ling is unwilling to use them. It's just that there are no names of those who died for the country in the history books. If he uses them and ends up in trouble, wouldn't he be shooting himself in the foot?
Therefore, Zhu Ling only used those loyal ministers from the beginning, and ransacked the homes of others and left them idle.
"I'm afraid His Majesty's team has almost arrived."
In Mr. Huang's mansion, an official with a pale face and trembling hands sat on a wooden chair, looking extremely irritated and frightened, and kept talking about His Majesty.
Mr. Huang didn't appear to be in a hurry. Instead, he drank the tea leisurely and tasted it himself.
"Mr. Huang, aren't you nervous?" Seeing Mr. Huang so calm and composed, the official couldn't help but become confused.
"What's the use of being nervous? Besides, I believe they can win!"
Mr. Huang looked at the teacup in front of him, turning it back and forth, and a hint of confidence burst out from his eyes as he spoke.
"Why?"
"because……"
"I have a helper."
