Changsun Gong was already a little distracted by the continuous movements. Just as he opened his mouth, Zhou Yunkun beside him spread his arms.
His arm seemed to accidentally touch Changsun Gong, interrupting what he was about to say.
Then Zhou Yunkun clasped his hands together and bowed: "I will accept your order."
Only then did Changsun Gong react. There was a flash of self-preparation in his eyes, and he accepted the order just like Zhou Yunkun: "I accept the order. If there are colleagues in the household department of the Northern Patrol to help me prepare food and fodder for the army, it will be like divine help."
What the Emperor Taisun said was to ask the Ministry of Revenue officials who were patrolling in the north to help clean up and check the accounts of various warehouses in Taiyuan City, so as to raise the eleven thousand dan of grain and grass supplies for the army.
Rather than saying it explicitly, it was to check the accounts of the Shanxi Provincial Government.
It is also an argument that cannot be refuted and cannot avoid errors. How can Shanxi Dao refuse?
Rejection directly shows that there is a problem with Shanxi Road's accounts.
If there is a problem with the accounts, then is there a problem with the government office of Shanxi Road?
This is something worth pondering.
But it was obvious that the emperor's grandson or the imperial court had become suspicious of Shanxi Road.
Changsun Gong felt a little heavy in his heart. If the imperial court and the emperor's grandson had not become suspicious of Shanxi Road, so many things would not have happened on the official road today when they first arrived in Taiyuan City and before they even entered the city.
Changsun Gong lowered his head and glanced at Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan.
He knew something about the Marquis. To be able to hold the position of chief envoy, he not only had to master one branch, but also had to know the entire court. Not to mention that Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, was from
Huaiyou is the most direct confidant of His Majesty the Emperor.
Although Cao Zhen was reckless, he was definitely not the kind of person who would have random conflicts with civil servants.
The rudeness and unruliness of generals are never what they appear on the surface, at least most of the time and most people.
Zhu Yunxi, who was on horseback, had a charm in his eyes as he quietly stared at Changsun Gong and Zhou Yunkun, the Shanxi Tao officials standing in front of him.
This is a trial that both parties know very well.
On a high slope in the distance.
Qiuniang was a little confused and murmured: "It's been a long time, why don't they leave."
Although I couldn't hear the sound, I couldn't see the expressions of the people on the official road.
But Zhu Yunwen's face was full of excitement.
The longer those people stay on the official road, the more exciting this mutual testing and pulling is going on.
He said softly: "Just watch, it will take a while before they disperse. I wonder if some people today...can't even sleep."
Qiuniang raised her head, tilted her neck and leaned on Zhu Yunwen's shoulder. She blinked at him and frowned: "Who can't sleep?"
The smile on Zhu Yunwen's face became stronger and stronger, and he said with a smile: "Of course, those who want to do bad things but find that they can't do it in the end can't sleep."
Qiuniang frowned.
In her eyes, Erlang is the best person in the world, but the only thing he says sometimes is that she can clearly understand every word, but when these words are connected together, she can't understand anything.
.
This really makes you look silly.
Qiuniang lowered her head, twitched the bridge of her nose, frowned and sighed softly.
Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and looked at Qiuniang, who was half-held in his arms, and said with a smile: "Okay, let me tell you. If my guess is correct, the third child will take those soldiers and set up camp in Beicheng.
.He will send people into the city, but he will never enter Taiyuan City himself."
"North of the city?"
Qiuniang's eyes lit up, and then she frowned again: "It's so close to our home..."
Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but be stunned. He tried to recall the recent scenes with Qiuniang in his mind, and carefully checked what he had done with that idiot Zhang Hui to see if Qiuniang had discovered it.
Until she discovered the whole thing, Qiuniang probably wouldn't have noticed it, and Zhu Yunwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe this is a coincidence.
Zhu Yunwen muttered in his heart, and then said: "Uncle Jin Wang's birthday is coming soon. If the third child goes to camp outside Beicheng, it should be for the convenience of going to Jin Wang's Mansion."
Why did King Jin appear in Zhu Yunxi's northern patrol? And when did he leave Taiyuan City?
Looking at Zhu Fan who was riding behind Zhu Yunxi with a bored look on his face, Changsun Gong and the others couldn't help but have a suspicion in their hearts. They couldn't figure out why Zhu Fan did this.
Changsun Gong and others were particularly curious as to whether he had discussed anything with Zhu Yunxi after he entered Zhu Yunxi's northern patrol.
At this time, Song Shenggui, the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture, came up from behind and said, "Your Highness, gentlemen, is it time to go to the city now? Your Highness has rushed all the way to Taiyuan, so it is better to settle down and rest early."
This is the biggest thing today.
No matter how the North Patrol wants to check Shanxi Road's accounts, what needs to be done will have to be done sooner or later.
The most important thing is to get Zhu Yunxi into Taiyuan City first. After they enter the city, the two guards and horses brought by Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, can only be stationed outside the city. By then, the people in the city will
What kind of waves can be made?
Liu Liang, the commander of Shanxi Daodu and Sidu, finally said: "Shanxi Dusi has prepared a large army to camp outside the city to meet the needs. As soon as Taisun enters the city, the Dusi Yamen will transfer all the supplies to Marquis Jingchuan."
Zhu Yunxi let out a long groan, with a smile on his face, and glanced at these people with deep eyes: "Shanxi is quite considerate of me, and I am very relieved to be lonely, but..."
He drew out his voice, arousing the curiosity of several people.
Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at Sun Cheng and Tian Mai, and pointed at the surrounding Yulin Guard officers and soldiers.
There was some embarrassment on his face: "Do you know why I took the Yulin Guards with me on the Northern Expedition?"
The Habayashi Guards and the Kinyiwei are both members of the Imperial Guard, and they are both the emperor's personal troops. However, the Kinyiwei are different from other armies of the Imperial Guard. They are in charge of prisons, patrols and arrests, investigations, interrogations, etc.
The Habayashi Guards are purely the emperor's personal troops, guarding the palace and the royal family.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Changsun Gong and others showed confusion on their faces.
Zhu Yunxi sneered and said faintly: "You can kill people in your dreams when you are alone. After leaving the capital, if you are not in the army, something may happen. Only when you are in the camp can you feel at ease."
"this……"
Changsun Gong and others' expressions changed slightly.
The emperor's grandson of the Ming Dynasty was as fond of killing people in his sleep as Cao Mengde?
This is something that no one has ever heard of.
Zhu Yunxi doesn't trust Taiyuan City and Shanxi Road.
That's why he said the so-called killing in a good dream was just a hint that he would not sleep well if he was not surrounded by an army.
Gao Yangzhi, who had not spoken for a long time, also said: "Your Highness, the northern patrol camp can be temporarily located in the north of Taiyuan City. Once enough food and grass are prepared and transported to the army, we can break camp and set off without any delay."
Cao Zhen added: "The north of the city is adjacent to the Fen River, which can be used as a place to camp. When setting up camp, it is convenient to get water, and setting off from camp will not hinder official traffic."
Without giving the people from Shanxi Road a chance to ask again, Gao Yangzhi and Cao Zhen had already cooperated with each other in tandem to silence the conversation.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "Remember, the third uncle's palace is also in the north of the city. When the third uncle has his birthday in a few days, my nephew can also enter the palace directly from the camp in the north of the city to congratulate the third uncle on his birthday."
Zhu Fan's face glowed red, and he was filled with a smile. Not to mention how happy he was, but he still kept shaking his head and waving his hands: "It's just a birthday. It passes every year, every year, but it reminds you of the three birthdays every year."
Uncle has aged another year."
Zhu Yunxi said: "It's a day after all, and they have already made preparations to come to Shanxi Daosansi."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi's eyes were already looking at Changsun Gong and others, giving a clear reminder.
Changsun Gong immediately laughed and said: "But I asked Your Highness to point out the truth to me. In Taiyuan, the vassal state of the Jin Dynasty, I and others have to rely on the prince's palace to guard Shanxi. On the occasion of the prince's birthday, although I have no gold and silver treasures, I have prepared some.
This is a small gift to express my feelings and congratulate the prince on his birthday."
Zhu Fan nodded as if in embarrassment, and then said helplessly: "Originally, I was trying to stop this guy from having to spend so much time organizing the birthday of my son, but now he has dragged you all here."
Quietly, Zhu Fan also explained why he suddenly appeared in Zhu Yunxi's northern patrol team.
As for whether Changsun Gong and others believed it or not, that was not something he needed to consider.
At least until everything is ready, Taiyuan City's superficial peace must be guaranteed.
Changsun Gong and others smiled, but felt helpless in their hearts.
Not only was Zhu Yunxi not allowed to enter the city today, he also had to deal with an accounting matter.
All in all, everything today was completely different from what was originally expected.
"I will take His Highness to Beicheng." Changsun Gong took the lead in suggesting.
Zhu Yunxi shook his head and refused and said: "The New Year is coming, everything in Shanxi Province is busy, and the warehouse accounts have to be sorted out. You will go back to the city to do your business. Shanxi Dusi will just send people to bring you the necessary supplies for camp. There is no need to worry."
After saying that, Sun Cheng, who was waiting on the side, immediately raised his whip.
He shouted: "Let's go!"
…
On the official road, Changsun Gong and others looked at the Northern Patrol Team that had already diverted to the north of Taiyuan City. A number of Beijing officers and soldiers passed by in front of them, their faces were calm, but their brows were a little solemn.
Wait until all the troops have gone to the north of the city.
Guo Yuchuang, the chief envoy to the left and political counselor, looked around and said in a deep voice: "Let's all disperse."
Officials from various departments and yamen in Taiyuan City took orders one after another, bowed down and rushed to the city.
When the crowd around him was gone, Guo Yuchuang looked at the North Patrol team that had arrived in the east direction of Taiyuan City. He sighed and then smiled helplessly: "At least we stay in Taiyuan City."
Zhou Yunkun looked at Yue Xinghui, the magistrate of Yangqu County beside him: "Yangqu County should go to the camp to greet people more often, be more attentive, and don't appear rude."
Yue Xinghui immediately handed over his hand and said: "I will accept my order."
Changsun Gong waved his hand: "We are going to enter the city after all."
After saying a word, Changsun Gong's eyes flickered, and he called for the guards to bring the horse. With the help of the guards, he got on the horse, then twitched his whip and urged him to enter the city.
A few people were left to look at each other.
This means taking action on the birthday of Jin King Zhu Fan.
Looking at Changsun Gong who had begun to speed up, several people called for their followers to bring their horses.
On the way back to the city, Li Wenxiang drove his horse to Guo Yuchuang.
"Zhu Yunxi wants to check the accounts. Even if he has to do it on King Jin's birthday, shouldn't he take care of everything before that?"
Li Wenxiang, a person outside the government, knows exactly what Shanxi Road's accounts are like.
Those gantry accounts are intricate and messy.
But as long as you trace it carefully, the problem will be clear.
As the core of the Kaizhong system, the warehouses on Shanxi Road have long been the private residence of Shanxi merchants.
People in the world only know that Shanxi merchants made countless money and food from the imperial court because of the opening of the central government. But the world does not know that what Shanxi merchants do is basically business without capital.
As for why this is possible.
That is a complicated reason that is difficult to explain clearly.
Guo Yuchuang's face was calm, he looked at Li Wenxiang who reminded him calmly, and sneered: "If your grandson wants to check the accounts, you must have accounts to check."
Li Wenxiang's eyes moved and he nodded: "I understand."
Guo Yuchuang nodded: "If you understand, let someone deal with it. Even if it happens, you will die without any evidence."
After finishing speaking, Guo Yuchuang took a deep look at Li Wenxiang.
There is too much evidence in Taiyuan City right now.
If the day comes when nothing can be done, all these pieces of evidence must be disposed of, and it is best if everything is completely uncorroborated.
Guo Yuchuang withdrew his gaze, hid the thoughts he had just had deep in his heart, whipped his horse whip fiercely, and the horse under him suddenly neighed and rushed towards Taiyuan City in the eyes of Li Wenxiang.
North of Taiyuan City.
Beside the roaring Fen River.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Sun Cheng beside him: "Did you see that person clearly just now?"
Sun Cheng nodded: "My subordinates took the people out and got a little closer. I could see clearly that it was him."
The eyes of Gao Yangzhi, Zhu Fan and others beside them flashed.
From the south of the city to the north of the city, you naturally have to pass through the high slope outside the city.
That man on the slope.
Zhu Fan whispered: "I didn't expect that he would be here. Could it be that he went to Taiyuan after what happened in Zhongdu?"
Gao Yangzhi moved his steps, approached King Jin and whispered, "His Royal Highness Taisun knows that he is in Taiyuan."
Zhu Fan's eyes suddenly shrank, and he looked at Zhu Yunxi with some surprise and surprise.
In an instant he understood everything before and after.
It's no wonder that Brother Xi knew that the situation in Taiyuan was dangerous, but still chose to come here in person.
Moreover, Brother Xi obviously looks like he is sure of victory.
It turns out that the root cause lies with that person.
But he was a little curious, when did Brother Xiu become so close to that person.
Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Third uncle, this time I probably want to make your birthday uneasy. My nephew, I want to apologize to you first."
Zhu Fan waved his hand casually: "Hurry up, you don't even know how my third uncle and I got here all these years."
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "It's snowing."
Everyone immediately looked up.
I saw pieces of crystal snowflakes on the Fen River. I don’t know when they had drifted down from the clouds in the sky.
