Chapter 172: Shocking Merits

 The next day.

Early in the morning, a decree came from the palace to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army.

The emperor's grandson called the meritorious uncles of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to come to the palace for questioning.

When the emperor's grandson came back last night, although he was standing in the shadow behind the emperor, these people could see clearly.

The emperor's grandson's body is stained with blood.

This matter is very confusing and unpredictable.

Early in the morning, the generals led by the founding Duke Chang Sheng, Liang Guo Gong Lan Yu, Cao Guo Gong Li Jinglong, Jingchuan Marquis and other meritorious Hou Bo generals of the Five Army Governor's Office formed a team and stepped into the gate of the imperial city.

"What happened last night? It's obviously the old man's Wanshou, so why did the emperor's grandson go out and get covered in blood?"

Behind the Hongwu Gate and on the long corridor in front of the Meridian Gate, Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, asked with a worried look on his face.

It was obvious that the dozen or so people around him were all fellows in the army, and they were all nobles in the court. But no one answered Cao Zhen's question.

Cao Zhen frowned: "Could it be played by the emperor's grandson? Tang Li will soon return to Beijing to return to the Governor's Mansion and take charge of the imperial guard."

He did not dare to say that the emperor's grandson wanted to force them to divide the power in the Run Army to Xin Guogong's line, but the frown on his face revealed his thoughts.

Lan Yu immediately turned around and glared at Cao Zhen.

He was about to speak, but he silently looked at Chang Sheng aside.

Nowadays, even an unintentional person can see the subtle changes in the army. The meritorious generals of King Kaiping's family in the past are all moving closer to the Chang family again.

Lan Yu knew very well that such a change was not something he could reverse now.

At least until there is a big war, he can only give up his position as the commander-in-chief of King Kaiping's old line of meritorious generals to Chang Sheng.

But it doesn’t matter if they are given back to Chang Sheng, to him they are all family members.

After all, if there is a war in the country, Chang Sheng can only sit in the Governor's Mansion and command the rear, and he is the general who leads the troops.

Tomato

Chang Sheng felt the concession from his uncle.

He turned to look at Cao Zhen: "Do you think the emperor's grandson would make such a fake move in front of us? Could that blood still be chicken blood? After cutting off so many heads, we can't tell that it's chicken blood.

Human blood?"

Cao Zhen was stunned by a series of questions. He opened his mouth but was unable to refute.

Cao Guogong Li Jinglong smiled at the side, looked at everyone, and pressed his hands: "Don't worry, everyone. A few days ago, many families cleared their acres and paid half of the land, and even fined them. The emperor's grandson

What does it have to do with us? Even if we fight against each other, one of us is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer."

When he said this, Li Jinglong's eyes silently glanced at Liang Guogong Lan Yu.

A few days ago, Lan Yu was given a hundred strokes of the cane by the emperor's grandson himself.

Looking back, nothing happened.

Cao Zhen hummed and glanced at Li Jinglong.

Last time Liang Guogong was punished, we people had to clear out their land and pay us fines and fines, but you, Cao Guogong, are the only ones who are useless!

Are you making sarcastic remarks now?

These people have never been close to Li Jinglong.

Li Jinglong felt that he was asking for trouble, so he turned back sadly and continued walking towards the palace.

He had just met the emperor's grandson two days ago, and even got a promise.

Everyone in the court with a discerning eye now knows that Tang Li represents Duke Xin in entering the court to balance the governor's office with King Kaiping's line.

Under these two parties, my own Cao Guogong Mansion will probably become a group of confidants who are only valued by the Emperor Taisun!

Everyone had their own thoughts and went all the way to the East Palace.

According to the order this morning, the emperor's grandson was going to meet them in the small study room of the East Palace.

In the small study room of the East Palace at this time.

Zhu Yunxi sat upright on the chair, his eyes never moving, looking directly at a memorial in front of him, turning the pages from time to time.

Behind him, there are two girls, Tang Queqing and Mu Caiyun, waiting on him with their hands on the left and right.

Tang Queqing felt a little bit offended at first when he saw that in the past, he was the only one serving in this small study, but now suddenly there was Mu Caiyun from the Marquis House of Xiping, Yunnan.

After just two days, I was able to figure out Mu Caiyun’s temperament.

This is an ignorant and shy little girl. With just a few teasing words, she can make the little girl blush and become extremely shy.

It always makes me feel loved.

At this time, Mu Caiyun was very nervous.

This was the first time since she entered the palace that she followed the emperor's grandson and met the court officials.

I hate my brother Mu Chun. He has been in front of the emperor all day long these days, claiming that it is to fulfill his filial piety.

But how could she not guess what happened?

It’s not just to finalize the marriage between myself and the emperor’s grandson.

My brother is afraid that his legs will be broken by his father if he fails to complete the tasks assigned by his father after returning to Yunnan.

At this time.

Yutian, who was standing outside the small study room, shouted.

"Third Master, several princes have arrived."

In the small study room, Zhu Yunxi's face suddenly turned cold, but he didn't say a word.

Yu Tian, ​​who was outside, put his ear to the door. After a while, he looked at the princes in front of him and smiled apologetically.

"My lords, princes, and uncles, please go in."

With that said, he pushed open the door of the small study.

Lan Yu and others looked at each other, took a deep breath, shook their robes, and stepped into the small study.

Everyone came together in front of Zhu Yunxi.

He glanced at the two women standing behind the emperor's grandson.

One represents the Duke of Xinguo Mansion, and the other represents the Marquis of Xiping Mansion.

But today's scene appeared at the same time, and everyone's minds were filled with speculation and awakening.

They are not the only meritorious generals in the court!

Led by Lan Yu, Chang Sheng, and Li Jinglong, everyone clasped their hands and said, "I will see the great grandson of the emperor, who may live a thousand years of blessings."

Zhu Yunxi didn't say a word, and quietly looked up at the meritorious generals in front of him who were unable to look at him because they were bowing.

Today is to beat them.

Let them stay like this for a while.

Lan Yu and others were already confused.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

But Zhu Yunxi didn't speak, so they didn't dare to stand up.

And if they maintain this posture for a long time, even if they are military veterans, they will feel that their waist is strained.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi said calmly: "They are all here."

This is not how the Emperor Taisun usually behaves towards people like them.

Lan Yu and others had doubts, and then they calmed down.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at everyone: "Last night, I went to kill someone with my guard in uniform."

He is now the great grandson of the Ming Emperor, so he deserves to be alone.

Just these words, but they completely explained the previous doubts in Lan Yu and others' minds about what the emperor's grandson did last night.

Chang Sheng immediately said: "I wonder who the emperor's grandson killed last night?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at his second uncle with a somewhat solemn look: "The imperial court of Japan rebelled against the envoys of the Ashikaga family of the Northern Dynasty and had evil intentions. He escaped from the city privately last night in an attempt to kill the people of the Ming Dynasty. He led his men out of the city to kill them."

It's actually because of this.

Chang Sheng was the first to react.

Yesterday, the Ashikaga Plum Butterfly was escorted out of the palace by the Imperial Guards and handed over to the guard in the post office.

If it's a fault, it should be Jin Yiwei's fault.

He just thought that a few days ago, the emperor's grandson told him to mobilize soldiers who were good at water and fighting in the army and ordered the Longjiang Shipyard to gather warships. At this time, he had some thoughts, but looking at Zhu Yunxi's face, he suppressed it secretly and did not put it down.

This matter was raised.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi had already lightly knocked on the table.

A soft sound seemed to hit the hearts of everyone present.

Zhu Yunxi said coldly: "The majestic capital of the Ming Dynasty, protected by hundreds of thousands of troops, can actually allow envoys from all nations to escape from the city. Are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty doing hard work, or is it that the governor's palace has been abandoned in recent years, and they only care about enjoyment?

, are you just trying to occupy people’s fields in your hometown?”

It’s really a question of guilt!

Suddenly, everyone, including Chang Sheng, knelt down.

"I waited for the death penalty, which caused the Japanese bandits to escape from the city."

"You deserve to die!" Zhu Yunxi said without hesitation, and said solemnly: "According to the old man's intention, I am going to take a few heads. If you don't think so, you are all meritorious service to the country and have made contributions to the country.

Now you can still contribute to the country. I will never plead for you in front of the old man!"

The old man is really murderous.

For a time, everyone became more and more nervous.

Chang Sheng, as the leader of the meritorious generals present in the court, had no choice but to say: "I am guilty of negligence, and the fault is that the emperor was not strict, which caused the thieves to escape from the city."

Zhu Yunxi's face was gloomy: "You are indeed guilty. Your Majesty asked, if you can let the thieves escape from the city today, will you be able to let the thieves sneak into the imperial city in the future?"

These words were extremely serious, and almost turned the founding generals present into trash.

Chang Sheng knelt on the ground and led everyone to plead guilty.

"I will be punished with death if I fail to live up to the divine grace."

Zhu Yunxi patted the table: "Your Majesty has forgiven you by showing mercy this time. But the important place in the capital cannot continue to slack off like this. From today on, don't think about going home and living the life of a rich man. You all go to the capital to take charge.

Practice and organize, and you will be able to do whatever you ask."

Cao Zhen and others felt relieved.

Chang Sheng also took the lead in kowtowing and said: "I kowtow to thank the Holy Grace and the Emperor Taisun for forgiveness."

At this time, Zhu Yunxi said again: "Tang Li will return to Beijing in the next two days. You will practice and rectify in the capital camp, and the Fifth Army Commander's Office will leave it to him to rectify. If there are thieves in Yingtian City next time, they can come and go freely.

If something happens, it will be difficult for me to protect you and others!"

This is the person who, after Knocking Forgive, made it clear to them that after Tang Li returns to Beijing, the people in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army will definitely be arranged by Tang Li to enter the Duke of Xinguo's Mansion.

This is telling them in advance that they need to get along well.

Chang Sheng and others can only accept this sincerely.

Only then did Zhu Yunxi slowly lean back on the chair.

"The New Year's Day is coming, and the local government donated a lot of good silk and satin before the new year. You should practice and organize in the camp, and you should feel at ease. Later, I will ask Ms. Tang to lead people to send some silk and satin to each house. At home,

Ladies and gentlemen, let’s make some new clothes for the festival.”

How could the families of the great Ming Dynasty meritorious uncles be short of silk and satin fabrics for new clothes?

But everyone knows that the key point is that the emperor's grandson wants Tang Nuguan, Tang Queqing, the eldest granddaughter of Duke Xin, to deliver these gifts to each house.

This is another gesture of goodwill after the beating.

Sending some materials for making clothes is something only people who are close to you would do.

Chang Sheng became increasingly satisfied at this time.

Although he knew that even if he was Zhu Yunxi's second uncle, the court would never allow the Chang family to dominate.

But the emperor's grandson is now extremely skillful in using the rewards, and he has never lost this closeness. He is already satisfied.

Everyone thanked them immediately.

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "Let's all go, get organized, and pay close attention to the officers and soldiers in the training camp."

When everyone is about to get up and leave.

Zhu Yunxi suddenly said: "Cao Guogong stays."
