"Wei Guogong, I'm serious. I just want everyone to understand the situation at this time."
Yang Feng said.
Everyone nodded.
I understand, I understand!
First, cut off all our escape routes, and force us onto a boat. If we don't work together, we will all be doomed. Then, you will stand by with a knife and watch, but you will not allow us to dock, and watch our little broken boat drift towards the cliff and waterfall in front...
Shameless, extremely shameless!
"As for me and the Ming Dynasty, you can actually rest assured. If I really had other thoughts, would I still wait until now? People outside say that I am a rebel. It can be said that they have never stopped since I came to the Ming Dynasty. But after all these years, have I rebelled? ?I am not even considered a minister of the Ming Dynasty, so what kind of rebellion is there!"
Yang Feng said.
Everyone nodded again.
I understand, I understand!
You are not a minister of the Ming Dynasty, so you shoot a gun at the Ming Emperor, beat a vassal king into a fool, and incite unruly people to force a vassal king to death. These are not considered rebellions.
rebel?
First, Mingchen must be the one to rebel!
Since he is not a Mingchen, no matter what he does, it is not considered a rebellion.
That makes so much sense!
Ambassador Yang is indeed reasonable.
"As for the instructions, this is a serious statement. I am just for the stability and unity of Shanxi. You have all seen the things that happened before. Although I admit that I caused the things, I cannot summon a hundred thousand young people. In the final analysis Shanxi returned to the Ming Dynasty only about twenty years ago. Although I have no dissatisfaction with your Majesty, it is obviously not possible to say how docile it is. Stability is the most important thing. Everyone, now with great difficulty, all the rights and wrongs have finally been settled. Now, princess and everyone, we can all have a peaceful sleep, but who would have thought that Prince Zhaode would do such a thing again.
Impulsive, too impulsive.
Young people!
They don’t consider our good intentions at all!”
Yang Feng said.
Everyone nodded.
I understand, I understand!
Then their eyes all turned to Wei Guogong.
Tell me quickly what to do!
Didn't you see that Ambassador Yang was talking nonsense?
Everyone is waiting for you!
"Ambassador, Xu will immediately order all the guards in Shanxi to strictly inspect all the passes. As long as there is no way to lead, no matter who they claim to be, they will all be taken to Taiyuan. Anyone who dares to be released privately will be beheaded by military law. He will also send servants to lead the cavalry to chase them along the way. Whenever he met him, he would try his best to offend Prince Zhaode and kidnap him back to Taiyuan and hand him over to the princess.
But the ambassador should also understand that the surrounding area is surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, and it is not difficult to avoid the pass."
Xu Huizu said.
He really had no choice.
After all, he was already in too deep on this matter.
I have to say that he regrets it now. He was too weak at the beginning, but was dragged into the trap step by step by Yang Feng, so that it is impossible to escape now. There is really no other choice but to follow this bastard. But fortunately Behind Yang Feng is the emperor's grandson, so as long as he wins in the end, the Xu family's wealth and glory can still be preserved.
In short, now he can only form a temporary alliance with Yang Feng.
Work together to capture Zhu Jiyi.
Although in theory taking the Nanbei Pass and going south is the shortest way to the capital, Zhu Jiyi probably would not choose this route, which is definitely the main pursuit target. After all, there are many passes along the way, so there are many options left. Head east out of Jingxing Pass to Zhengding and then go south, go south to Liaozhou and then to Luzhou, exit east from Luzhou and then turn south, then go south to Pingyang along the Queshu Valley route of Lengquan Pass.
It will be all right.
And these roads are just big roads.
There is also a small road in the middle that goes around the pass. After all, it is just a few people, not a large army of troops.
So it’s not easy to chase.
All he could say was that he was doing his best.
And he couldn't guarantee what the generals of the guard would do. After all, this matter was too involved. These generals in Shanxi were all the old subordinates of King Jin. It was inevitable that some of them would be grateful to King Jin. When they learned that King Jin had been killed, they chose to help him out of righteous indignation.
Zhu Jiyi.
This possibility is very high!
While speaking, he looked at Yang Feng and the princess...
Wei Guogong is also an adult, and there are many women around him, but he still has a discerning eye. It is obvious that there is something wrong with these two.
Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian!
Of course, he doesn't want to be Wu Erlang, and he doesn't have that ability.
"These Yangs understand that Wei Guogong should do his best.
But that's not what Yang was talking about.
I have been entrusted by the princess to go to Kaifeng to wait for Prince Zhaode, and then explain it to him face to face. In the final analysis, it is a misunderstanding, so I just need to explain it clearly. If I can't meet him in Kaifeng, Yang will continue to go south and return to the capital.
I am waiting in the capital, always wanting to meet him, but I really miss it. The worst I can do is go to your Majesty. I will explain everything clearly in front of your Majesty. Even if Prince Zhaode still misunderstands, your Majesty is wise and will naturally be able to
Now that you understand the merits, you all can rest assured."
Yang Feng said.
When he said this, everyone immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Tell me earlier!
I told you that you would return to the capital!
What could happen to you when you go back? Why bother scaring old bones like us?
"But you also have to do one thing.
I have persuaded the princess and the prince that the Jin Dynasty is willing to submit a memorial and ask to move to Fengzhouchuan. This can also appease the people of Shanxi. However, this is the grace of the princess. Therefore, you have to bring the people of Shanxi to submit a letter. Please use the power of Shanxi to support the princess.
Build a large temple there to chant sutras for the King of Jin, pray for the Ming Dynasty, and ask His Majesty the Emperor of your country to grant the princess a title."
Yang Feng said.
"This is a great good deed, and I should do my best to promote it."
Ambassador Zuo said without hesitation.
Lai Gong has already told them this, and now they are convinced.
For Shanxi officials, they don't want to serve the Jin family. In the final analysis, all this is caused by the Jin Dynasty. He is ambitious and drags everyone into the pit of fire. Although he is dead, as long as the Jin Dynasty is still there,
Then something might happen again at some point.
Who wants to serve these uncles?
It would be best to take it away.
"In addition, we need to gather civilians from all over Shanxi to build a city and build a royal palace in Fengzhouchuan for the Jin vassal."
Yang Feng said.
"Can!"
The right chief envoy said.
Even if Yang Feng doesn't say anything, this is Shanxi's job.
In fact, most of the military households in Dongshengwei are now cobbled together from all over Shanxi. As long as the royal palace is still under the jurisdiction of Shanxi, they will bear the responsibility. But for the people in the core area of Shanxi, as long as they can drive away the Jin vassal, even if
I was overjoyed just when I arrived at Fengzhou River. The construction of the city and the palace were not worth mentioning.
It was only a temporary suffering, but the Jin vassal would suffer for generations to come.
Very good choice.
"In addition, we need to build roads. A major road must be built between Zhenshuowei and Wangfu. This road must be able to pass new four-wheeled carriages. If four-wheeled carriages cannot pass between Datong and Zhenshuowei, then this section must also be built.
.You can't let the princess ride to the palace with such a distinguished status in the future, right? What's more, the palace in Taiyuan is still preserved. The princess will have to take a car to travel between the two places in the future. It is only a two-hundred-mile road, not to mention that there are only a few roads along the way.
It is only blocked by a hill. Moreover, the materials needed to build the palace must be transported by vehicles. This road is a must. Just in time for this winter, hundreds of thousands of young people have been gathered in various places. The local gentry donated food and they were busy until the spring. The road was repaired.
pass."
Yang Feng said.
Pretending to be public for personal gain!
The roads should be built to facilitate development.
The Zhenshuo Guard is Youyu, which is also the closest guard to get there. However, the Ming army generally does not take this route when they get there. They always use cavalry to go north to the grassland via Tiancheng Guard, walk through Ulanqab Grassland, and then turn around.
It is not easy to walk from Zhenshuowei to Fengzhouchuan.
There were only a few hills along the way, so he was obviously unscrupulous.
Is that a hill?
How many seats are there?
but……
"build!"
The right chief envoy said.
There are no buts, as long as the Jin clan can be driven away, the people of Shanxi will definitely accept it.
Besides, if there is such a road, it will be convenient to transport there in the future. If the Jin vassal moves again, it will still be the Jin vassal. Even if the salary is not counted, their guard needs will be supplied by Shanxi. With such a road, the transportation cost will drop sharply, not to mention where.
It is also the trade road from Shanxi to Ningxia, and it is convenient for merchants to travel along this road.
"That's all, please give me a title for the princess, build a city and palace for the Jin vassal, and build roads.
I'll go back to the capital to explain.
You guys do this in Shanxi!"
Yang Feng said with satisfaction.
The princess next to her also smiled with satisfaction.
Three days later, Ambassador Yang set off south. At the same time, the princess's urgent letter to King Zhou was also sent five hundred miles away. However, Yang Feng was not in a hurry. Zhu Jiyi ran from Taiyuan to Kaifeng, which would have taken him a month.
, Speaking of Nianhan’s first-generation Jurchen elite, this journey still takes more than twenty days. As a fifteen-year-old boy, he still has to avoid interceptions and bypass passes. He can’t be faster than Nianhan, right?
If it weren't for the North-South Pass road, it would take even longer.
No need to rush.
You have to give King Zhou some time.
Ten days after Yang Feng set off.
Cold Spring Pass.
Li Xiong, the inspector of the Cold Spring Inspection Department, sat in front of the city gate and looked at the pedestrians queuing up for inspection. Next to him was his wooden prosthetic leg. He was a veteran who followed King Qiyang to conquer Mobei. He broke a leg and stayed there.
An inspection was done here.
"Li Er, from Lingshi County? What's the surname of the butcher who sells meat on West Street?"
"Liu Big Eyes."
"Pass, next one!"
…
"Inspection, when exactly do we have to check? It's been more than ten days. It's been like this every day. If you need a road guide in other places, you have to check it. But there is no road guide here. Let's just listen to the accent. Why be so long-winded."
The clerk next to him looked at the long queue behind him speechlessly.
"How did I know? I just knew that Wei Guogong personally issued a military order, and all men under 20 who were not from the local area and had no way to lead were all sent to Taiyuan.
Missed a beheaded one."
Li Xiong said.
"Who are you checking on?"
Another subordinate asked.
"How can I, a patrol inspector, know who Duke Wei wants to investigate?"
Li Xiong said.
At this time, a trusted archer came over.
"Inspection, Chen Feng, who works for Prince Jin's Mansion, did not lead the way. He wants you to let him pass. This is his wish."
He held a piece of silver and whispered.
"Whenever he brings a guide, just let him pass and the money will be returned to him."
Li Xiong said.
This is the throat of the south. The merchants raised by the Jin Prince's Palace have to go here to go to Shaanxi. Everyone is an old acquaintance. But even so, Taiyuan is hundreds of miles away, and there is still a road to lead. But behind them is the Prince's Palace, and on weekdays
If you lead a Mao guide, you won't even dare to accept money from him. How dare he ask for a bribe from the palace for a broken inspection officer?
The archer quickly turned around.
Li Xiong looked at the back of the crowd. Chen Feng stood there and smiled at him, followed by several waiters.
They all led the horses.
Li Xiong nodded to him...
"No, why did he give me money?"
He said suddenly.
"Yes, he is on official business for the palace. It would be nice if he came here and didn't give us a slap in the face. Why did he give us money instead? No, the people Wei Guogong is investigating are not people from the palace, right? But if we make a mistake, we will offend the palace.
."
The scribe said with a puzzled look on his face.
Li Xiong stared at Chen Feng.
"No, their horses are very good. These are good horses only found in the army. He usually brings a donkey with him. Even if he rides a horse, he can't ride so well. The guy behind him doesn't even look at the thin skin and tender meat.
Like servants, hurry up, catch them!"
Li Xiong shouted.
The surrounding archers immediately stepped forward.
Chen Feng also discovered something was wrong.
"Inspector Li, what are you doing? We are old acquaintances."
he shouted.
But the guys behind him immediately pulled out their knives to protect the thin-skinned guy, who looked on in panic.
"Old Chen, the military order of the Duke of Wei is to escort everyone to Taiyuan if there is no way to lead them. This is the military order of the Duke of Wei. Brothers can't help themselves. Ask your brothers to put down their swords. I can pretend that they haven't drawn them out. If you don't put them down, you will suffer the consequences of resisting arrest.
It’s clear. Although Li is just a patrol inspector, he is also a local official of the imperial court. You are a member of the palace. If you resist arrest, you will be killed without mercy. Although Li is missing a leg, he also followed King Qiyang into the battle back then. Don’t play in front of me.
knife."
Li Xiong shouted.
Then he picked up his bow and arrows, sat there and drew the bow.
The young men in line quickly dispersed.
Several locals also picked up guys to help the archers. The latter were also locals and many of them knew each other. Chen Feng and the others were immediately surrounded.
"Do you still remember following King Wu Jing of Qiyang in the past?"
At this time, a voice sounded from behind.
Li Xiong immediately turned his head and looked at a group of people on horseback. In the middle was a man in his thirties, who was speaking at the front.
"Chen, Chen Baihu?"
He said in astonishment.
"You still recognize me?"
The man said.
Li Xiong quickly stood up, but without the prosthetic leg, he immediately fell down...
"Young Li Xiong has met Chen Baihu, Chen Baihu, by the way, you should be in command now, right?"
He climbed up and said with a smile.
At this time, the man in his thirties urged his horse forward, held his head high as if he had not seen him, stopped the horse in front of him, and then glanced over him with a superior gaze, looking at Chen Feng and others who were surrounded.
"Let them come over!"
he said.
"Chen Baihu, these days are unusual. The Duke of Wei has issued a military order. If you let him go without permission, your head will be lost."
Li Xiong didn't know his identity, so he had to plead with Chen Baihu.
"You are following King Wu Jing of Qiyang, so you deserve to lose your head for me."
The man said.
Li Xiong looked at him in astonishment, but then he seemed to understand something. He immediately showed an expression of sincerity and fear, and then quickly kowtowed to the ground...
