In the White Tiger Hall, Zhu Yunxi spoke softly.
Tang Bi was helpless. He led his troops from Yingtian to the north of Henan Road. The order he received was to protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun. But now, a military report from Duke Liang forced him to leave Kaifeng with his troops and horses.
City. The most important thing is that His Highness actually agreed.
"Your Highness, Kaifeng City has been here for a long time. If there are no soldiers and horses guarding the city, once the rebels arrive, the city gates may be difficult to resist. I ask Your Highness to think twice. A rich man cannot sit in a dangerous hall."
Zhu Yunxi chuckled and said: "The general was founded in the Ming Dynasty, so that he can have a great reputation in the army, have great military exploits, and shine in the court. Since the general thinks this strategy is feasible, I only believe in him."
Unlucky Duke Liang!
Unlucky yourself!
Tang Bi had already scolded Lan Yu from beginning to end in his heart. General Lan was very good at military strategy. If this military strategy can really determine the outcome in one fell swoop, then everything will be fine.<
/p>
But if the emperor's grandson is in danger because of this, if something happens to him, he, the person who protects the grandson, will be in trouble.
Tang Bi looked sideways at Yu Ma, hoping to bring the Henan Daodu Si to persuade His Highness the Emperor Taisun.
At this time, there was another dense set of footsteps outside the White Tiger Hall.
Pei Benzhi and Gao Guang, together with the officials from the Chief Envoy Si Yamen and the Inspection Envoy Si Yamen, walked in a hurry and walked straight from the Dusi Yamen to the White Tiger Hall.
The two of them came side by side. When they arrived in front of the hall, they looked at the generals who were kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Yu Ma and Tang Bi at the front. Their brows could not help but frown.
Pei Benzhi's long arms shook his robe, and his face was heavy: "Your Highness, I heard that Duke Liang proposed a strategy to quell the rebellion in Henan Province, and I intended to do my best to do my best, but I have to put Your Highness in a dangerous situation. As a member of Henan Province, I
The Chief Envoy, I absolutely do not agree with this policy. I led the Chief Envoy of Henan Province, Si Yamen, to impeach the Duke of Liang for his lack of respect for the emperor. He marched dangerously, was extremely arrogant, and committed a heinous crime!"
Gao Guangguang also spoke from the side and agreed: "A gentleman will not go to the dangerous hall. I don't know whether Duke Liang's strategy is feasible in Henan Province to quell the rebellion, but he must first put your highness's daughter's body in a dangerous place. I think that Duke Liang
He is domineering and suspected of being greedy for merit. I led the Henan Province to punish and inspect the envoy Si Yamen, and asked His Highness to order an order to refute the Duke of Liang, stating that Henan Province should not be tempted to put down the rebellion."
"I second the proposal."
"Please give an order from Your Highness to refute the military strategy proposed by Liang Guogong."
"I ask your highness to put the safety of my daughter as the top priority, and to leave a large number of troops in the imperial court. Henan Taoist troops and horses will guard the city of Kaifeng to guard against traitors who disobey me."
As Pei Benzhi and Gao Guangguang opened their mouths, a group of officials from the two divisions and yamen followed and spoke in agreement.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the newly appointed officials of the two divisions of Henan Province who were expressing their attitudes and admonitions.
He coughed lightly and glanced at Zhu Gaochi, who had not spoken for a long time.
Little Fatty's back felt cold for no reason.
Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and murmured, turned his eyes twice, raised his head and looked at the officials present with a smile.
"The troops and horses of the three guards of the Zhou Palace are still in Kaifeng City."
As soon as Zhu Gaochi said this, Pei Benzhi and others immediately stared sideways.
The Ming Dynasty law at this time clearly stipulates that for any royal prince who joins a vassal, each prince will have a royal guard chief under the royal palace, and three guards will be gathered to guard the vassal prince.
Kaifeng, the land of Zhou Wangfu, naturally has three guards.
Just because the King of Zhou, Zhu Ju, is still detained in Kaifeng Prison, everyone present has obviously excluded the Prince of Zhou's Mansion from the beginning.
The three guards of Prince Zhou's Mansion were naturally classified as untrustworthy.
These days, the city defense of Kaifeng Prefecture is guarded by more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under Yu Ma's command, and the Yulin Right Guards under Tang Bi's command.
As for the three guards of the Zhou Palace, they had already been transferred out of the city and set up camp outside the city. They were supposed to serve as internal and external guards to echo the Kaifeng government, but in fact they were just transferring this doubtful army out of the city.
Zhu Gaochi looked at the crowd and continued: "There are troops and horses at the gate of Kaifeng City, five thousand right guards in Yulin, thousands in the yamen of the capital, and more than 15,000 guards in the royal palace of Zhou Dynasty.
If the Duke of Yiliang requested the military strategy to be implemented, more than 20,000 troops and horses would be mobilized, and it would be impossible to hide their traces, which would definitely attract the attention of the rebels in Henan Province.
The only question is whether Kaifeng City can follow the strategy of the ancients. The right guards of Yulin changed their military uniforms and dispersed in the city. Kaifeng City's troops and horses were transferred from outside, marched every day, and buried pots to make rice. The number must be increased to cover up.
If all the rebels from Henan Province come to Kaifeng, there will be more than 5,000 Yulin right guards in the city, who can be used to guard the city and protect the safety of His Highness. The chief envoy Si Yamen and the capital commander Si Yamen can also conquer the families in the city.
All the servants and servants will serve as Yu Lin's right guards and guard Kaifeng City together."
Zhu Gaochi is very sad.
He swore that he was just a mouthpiece for Brother Hei, and the words he said must have been brewing in Brother He's heart for a long time.
It's just because the Third Division of Henan Province and Tang Bi are all opposed to Lan Yu's military strategy, but Brother Hei needs someone to stand up and hold an opposing opinion.
I am just the most suitable candidate.
When Zhu Gaochi was feeling sad alone, and it seemed that he was about to become the second uncle taking the blame, Zhu Yunxi, who was standing in front of the chair above, really let out a light sigh.
Zhu Yunxi looked surprised: "I have forgotten the three guards of the Zhou Palace to protect the capital. Do you think this plan of Prince Yan is feasible?"
Pei Benzhi and Gao Guang lowered their heads helplessly.
Tang Bi was the first to object: "Your Majesty, Prince Yan will follow the ancients' policy, and I dare not say anything. It is indeed possible. If Kaifeng City only has Yu Lin's right guard troops and horses, and the Dusi Yamen is left behind to guard the troops and horses, and there are few soldiers, then Observing the military law is enough to detect the authenticity. But if you add the three palace guards and horses, there are many soldiers and horses, and then march in disguise, and add marching cookers, it will be enough to blind the rebels.
However, I think that the more than 5,000 Yulin Right Guards and horses are not enough to defend the entire city of Kaifeng, and there must be loopholes. If all the rebels come by then and besiege Kaifeng, the rebels will surely take advantage of the opportunity to succeed."
Zhu Yunxi said: "The Prince of Yan also borrowed the people of the city, and the servants and servants of the people in the city were used as backup."
Pei Benzhi coughed lightly at this time, his face was a little embarrassed, and he whispered: "Your Highness, the rebellions in the counties in Henan Province, and the rebellion in Kaifeng City was only because there were large armies stationed around the city. If all the armies were gone and Yu Lin hid, Those families may also take advantage of the situation to cause trouble, so how can I ask these families to send servants to jointly defend Kaifeng City?"
Pei Benzhi said it so straightforwardly that the officials from the three divisions present showed embarrassment on their faces.
Nowadays, there are all the rebellions in Henan Province, but Kaifeng Prefecture has never been in chaos.
It's not because they are afraid of the laws of the country, they are just afraid of the tens of thousands of imperial troops and horses gathered in Kaifeng City, and they are afraid of the polished butcher's knives in the hands of these officers and soldiers.
"Then let them be completely afraid! Let them not dare to have even the slightest intention to cause trouble!"
For a long time, Qin Shizi Zhu Shangbing, who could only serve as a foil beside Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi, suddenly spoke in a deep voice, with murderous intent in his words and a sharp look in his eyebrows.
Zhu Shangbing Meifeng made a knife: "The Jinyiwei has been investigating for a long time. Haven't the scandals of those people in Kaifeng City been found out yet? How long will the imperial court have to waste food to support the prisoners in the prisons of Kaifeng City? At present, there is a rebellion crisis in Henan Province, and the imperial approval is mostly blocked in the road. However, there are new changes in Kaifeng City. It is possible to suspend the court rules for the time being. To frighten the rebels in Kaifeng with killings, and force everyone in Kaifeng City to work together to defend the city. !"
At the end of the sentence, Zhu Shangbing turned around, clasped his fists, faced Zhu Yunxi and bowed to greet him.
Zhu Gaochi, who was standing next to Zhu Shangbing, could not hide the surprise and shock in his heart, and silently opened his mouth. He even couldn't help but glance at Brother Bing with his peripheral vision.
Zhu Yunxi's brows twitched slightly, and his eyes moved to Zhu Shangbing who was bowing to invite him.
"My lord, I request you to kill the prisoners in Kaifeng Mansion for the crime of disloyalty and treason. In the name of conspiracy with internal and external collusion, I would like to investigate and kill the disloyal people in Kaifeng Mansion."
Zhu Shangbing threw the floor loudly and shook the crossbar.
Even Pei Benzhi agreed at this time. In the chaotic situation, a heavy ceremony should be carried out to scare Xiaoxiao. With Kaifeng City about to be exhausted, if there are still people with evil intentions in the city, even if the internal and external connections are blocked by then, , it is also very likely that when the local rebels arrive, they will cause trouble and involve the Yulin Right Guards to guard the city.
Zhu Yunxi nodded and said nothing. Instead, he turned to look at Gao Guang, who was the chief prosecutor of Henan Province.
Gao Guangguang immediately raised his hands and said: "I agree with the report of Qin Shizi. I am just asking for execution. There must be an official who should be responsible for it. The prisoner should be charged with charges in case the court comes to inquire."
When the inspector in charge of criminal matters in Henan Province nodded, Zhu Yunxi immediately clapped his hands on the table.
"In this case, the military strategy proposed by Duke Liang will be implemented accordingly. The matters proposed by Qin Shizi will also be implemented accordingly."
……
Dawn light rises, tearing through the night.
Henan Road, which is full of rebellions, has entered a new day amidst the chaos.
"It's time to eat!"
"It's time to eat!"
"Today, each person has three pieces of fat meat, steamed rice, two green vegetables, and a cup of turbid wine."
In the Kaifeng City Prison, many jailers filed into the prison from outside the prison carrying food boxes.
The criminals in custody stood up with impressive expressions, walked behind the cell bars, and clapped their hands on the wooden posts.
"Meals on the road! Drinks on the road! Come here!"
"Thieves deserve to die!"
"Oh!"
The imprisoned prisoners in the rapist section looked at each cell in the prison in disgust, and their words were vivid.
There was silence in the cell.
Just a few moments later, there was an uproar.
Countless shackles were dragged on the ground and made a sound.
"I won't eat it! I won't eat it!"
"There was no decree from the imperial court, so we are not guilty!"
"Zhu Yunxi is arrogant and has no eyes for His Majesty. He covered the sky with one hand in Henan Province, deceived the Holy One, and killed us unjustly. We refuse to accept it!"
"I won't eat...I won't eat..."
Cell after cell, the beasts dressed in green, green, and red robes were imprisoned in the past, and they kept shouting out unwillingly.
"If you don't eat it for men, you bunch of rotten cowards don't even deserve to eat shit!"
Those prisoners who were just being detained for punishment immediately felt disgusted again.
The jailers who came in with their food boxes lost their previous restraint this time.
Seeing a prisoner pushing the food box that had just been put down, a jailer immediately kicked the food box over with his foot, causing the food to scatter on the floor in an instant.
"It's better to die of hunger than to die of hunger."
An old jailer shook his head and looked regretfully at the fat meat and wine glasses scattered on the ground. He held a pole and looked at the fence of the cell. After sighing, he led the young jailers.
Keep walking inside.
In the deepest part of the prison, there are several cells with small openings on the top, revealing the light outside. All the prisoners are kneeling to the ground towards a cell.
Pan Boyong was in a state of confusion at the moment.
According to my own assumptions, Henan Province has really become chaotic.
Even though he was in prison, since the rebellion began all over Henan Province, news had spread into the cell through the gossips of the jailers.
He also knew that the Wanmin Letter to impeach the emperor's grandson and petition to depose the emperor's grandson had also been sent to Yingtian City.
He originally thought that the imperial court and Kaifeng Mansion would fall into chaos.
But he did not expect that the imperial army and horses seemed to have known about the chaos in Henan Province early in the morning, and the troops and horses from all directions rushed to all parts of Henan Province with lightning speed.
"Your Highness!"
Pan Boyong knelt in front of Zhou Wang Zhu Ju, and spoke with a moved expression, revealing uneasiness in his words.
Zhu Ru just got up with Xiaoguang, and now he is sitting in front of a bronze mirror, combing his hair.
Without the help of the maids in Prince Zhou's Mansion, Zhu Rui finally learned to take care of his own honor as a prince.
Hearing Pan Boyong's cry, Zhu Ju just glanced sideways silently and continued to organize his outfit in prison.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The prince of the Ming Dynasty must not lose his royal dignity even if he is in prison!
Outside the cell, the footsteps of the guards delivering meals were getting closer and closer.
Pan Boyong was frightened and frightened. He crawled forward on the ground twice and reached Zhu Ju's feet.
"Your Highness, please save us."
"I know that I am guilty. Now Zhu Yunxi has gone crazy and vowed to kill me and others. Now only His Highness can save me and others."
"Your Highness has given you the grace to survive today. I will do my best in the future and die to repay His Highness's kindness."
Zhu Zhu gathered his neatly combed hair together, picked up a red ribbon, wrapped it around the roots a few times, and then tied it.
Finally, he turned his head and looked left and right.
So handsome!
Zhu Ju silently praised himself in his heart.
Then he lowered his head slightly and looked at Pan Boyong, who was crawling at his feet.
Zhu Ting smiled helplessly: "The inspector should know that now everyone in Henan Province respects my nephew, and the government orders are unparalleled. No one in Henan Province dares to disobey him. If he wants to kill you, what will happen to me?
Take action to save you? In fact, I am very scared right now, lest my nephew will inflict crimes on me!"
"Everyone, it's time to eat."
Outside the cell, the jailers finally walked over after distributing food boxes. The old jailer took a wooden stick and looked at the cell fence, staring blankly at the high-ranking big shots in the cell in the past.
When Pan Boyong heard this, his whole body trembled violently, and he immediately stretched out his hands to hug Zhu Ju's calf tightly.
In the cells on both sides, the officials who used to be the mainstay of the officialdom of Henan Province were already crying and howling.
Pan Boyong's whole body was trembling, and he was so frightened that he twitched from time to time, but his hands tightly hugged Zhu Ju's calf.
"Your Highness, I am an official in Henan Province, and the Zhou Dynasty is a vassal in Kaifeng. Your Highness and I are one and the same. I am guilty, so why is Your Highness? Your Highness, please think twice. Saving your ministers is like going through fire and water."
Zhu Ting finally frowned and looked down at the calf that was stained black because of Pan Boyong's hands with disdain.
He twitched his legs and broke away from Pan Boyong's arms.
Zhu Ju looked down at Pan Boyong with cold eyes: "Pan Boyong, are you saying that I, like you, are all rebellious ministers and sycophants of the Ming Dynasty?"
Pan Boyong's heart tightened and he shook his head repeatedly: "I don't dare! I made a mistake. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Zhu Rui snorted coldly: "What if I forgive you or not? It's not the one who wants to kill you..."
"It's Zhu Yunxi! It's the man who deceived His Majesty and usurped power!" Pan Boyong spoke loudly.
Snap!
Zhu Tong finally raised his hand with murderous intent and slapped Pan Boyong in the face who had just raised his head.
"It's you! It's you who killed yourselves!"
Zhu's voice was as cold as frost for a moment, and there was no trace of emotion on his face: "All the land under the name of Prince Zhou's Mansion has been handed over to the Chief Envoy Si Yamen.
The oppression of servants committed by the Zhou royal family has been transferred to Si Yamen, the envoy for punishment.
This king's apology memorial is also sent to Yingtian.
Do you really think that even if I have broken the law, I will be imprisoned with you?
Are you worthy?"
Zhu Rui doesn't want to pretend anymore. Anyway, after three quarters past noon today, these people will no longer have anything to do with the world.
Pan Boyong was frightened and looked up at the indifferent His Royal Highness the King of Zhou. He collapsed on the ground in fear and jumped back a few times with his hands on the ground.
"It's you! It's you...you did it!"
Pan Boyong pointed at Zhu Li with a trembling expression: "It was you who forced Henan Province to rebel! Even without me waiting, Henan Province would still be in chaos!"
In an instant, Pan Boyong understood everything that happened in Henan Road this year.
All the events are connected together one by one.
The big net that had been opened before anyone noticed it made Pan Boyong terrified.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Grand Sun, please move away."
The old jailer opened the cell, put aside Pan Boyong's journey meal, and then bowed to Zhu Xi.
Zhu Tie nodded, hummed indifferently, raised his arms to straighten his chest and robe, then put one hand in front of his abdomen, the other behind his back, and stepped forward.
Pan Boyong looked at this picture, everything was speechless, but it confirmed his conjecture extremely strongly.
This is the big picture.
A big picture with the entire Henan Road as a chessboard!
Pan Boyong's neck trembled, he opened his arms, and fell backwards on the cold ground of the cell. His eyes were calmly staring at the small window on the top of the cell that shed the morning light.
It seemed that through this small window, he had already heard the sounds of fighting in Kaifeng City outside the cell.
