Chapter 571 The first ray of morning sun in Taiyuan City
In the long years, human beings have experienced countless evolutions and transformations, and only now have the qualifications and status to dominate the entire world.
Zhu Yunwen had never had the ray of consciousness in his heart at this moment.
Everything told him that he should return home now.
The unreasonable perception made Zhu Yunwen feel a little uneasy in his heart.
Zhu Yunxi stared at Zhu Yunwen silently, and finally nodded.
He spoke softly: "Sun Cheng, order someone to escort the second brother back."
Sun Cheng, who was standing by, immediately signaled that the Deputy Governor of Fusi of Jinyiweibei Town would personally escort Zhu Yunwen back.
Zhu Yunwen got the promise and even forgot to say goodbye, so he left without stopping.
Zhu Yunxi, who was standing in front of the main hall of Prince Jin's palace, silently watched Zhu Yunwen's retreating back, frowning slightly.
In his sight, Zhu Yunwen's figure gradually overlapped and blurred with the wind and snow in front of him.
The person who took Zhu Yunwen's back was that the two teams were obviously not from the same family, and they came anxiously from outside the Jin Palace.
The chief flag officer of Jin Yiwei, who rushed to the Jin Palace from the Li Mansion Courtyard, walked up the steps and saw Zhu Yunxi standing in front of the palace, and immediately got down on one knee.
"Your Highness, I have been ordered to search the Li family of Shanxi merchants tonight, and have found the money hidden by the Li family. Due to the huge amount, I dare not make a decision without permission. I have been ordered by officials from hundreds of households to come here to report
Please make your decision, Your Highness."
Shanxi merchants have always been equated with the word "rich enough to rival the country".
In the eyes of the world, the Shanxi merchants who held the salt ponds in Hedong and raised military supplies for hundreds of thousands of Ming Dynasty's border troops were the richest group of people in the world.
However, the Chief Flag Officer of Jinyiwei who rushed from Li Mansion to Prince Jin Mansion still used a lot of tricks to describe it on this basis, which made everyone present start thinking again.
Zhu Yunxi has not yet spoken.
The cabinet minister beside him, Gao Yangzhi, had already opened his eyes and spoke first: "How much do you estimate?"
This question obviously made it difficult for the flag officer who came to report it to answer.
After thinking carefully for a moment, the chief flag officer raised his head and replied: "Reporting to Mr. Gao Ge, the gold and silver stored in the Li Mansion are like mountains, the banknotes are rusty, and the treasures are shining brightly."
The commander-in-chief thought hard and came up with all the adjectives he could think of in his life.
Gao Yangzhi's eyes began to shine brightly.
Jin Yiwei is not an ordinary person. In the past, most of the cases handled by these people were the raids on court officials. Even in these years, many princes and ministers in the court were implicated by the emperor, and their families were confiscated. Almost all of them were handled by Jin Yiwei.
For Jin Yiwei, the money that was not confiscated was countless.
But he heard it clearly.
The Li family's gold and silver were piled up like a mountain, and the money was even piled up and was beginning to rust.
"Your Highness, you must send someone to move the money hidden in the Li Mansion to the Jin Prince's Mansion!"
Without saying a word, Gao Yangzhi immediately turned around and clasped his fists, asking Zhu Yunxi to order someone to carry the money hidden by the Li family.
Again, the imperial court is rich now.
But money is never enough.
By taking away the money hidden by the Li family, the court can at least breathe a sigh of relief and do more things that could only be postponed in the past.
Even if there is no luck, it will be used on Jiubian. Gao Yangzhi estimated that according to the report from Jinyiwei, the money stored in the Li family would be enough to support several large-scale attacks by Jiubian against the outside world.
Zhu Fan also had some expectations.
Although my family has been doing well in the past few years, since the brothers returned to Yingtian, the properties under the names of the Ming Dynasty vassals have long been confiscated, or have been included in the scope of sharing the land.
, compared to the past, the money and food on hand are much less.
This time the Jin Palace was destroyed and it had to be renovated.
This money and food will always have to be provided separately by the imperial court.
After all, Zhu Fan felt a little guilty about using the court's money, but he didn't feel any burden when using the Li family's money.
Zhu Yunxi knew the importance of the money stored in the Li family, so he immediately said: "Teach the Yulin Guards to the Li Mansion, copy the money stored in the Li Mansion to the Jin Palace, and have officials from the Ministry of Households count it, and temporarily put it into the treasury of the Jin Palace."
.”
Following Zhu Yunxi's order, Gao Yangzhi suddenly turned around and looked at the commander of the Yulin Guards not far away.
Gao Yangzhi said loudly: "Hurry up and go, Yu Linwei!"
No one has trouble with money.
Even though Gao Yangzhi, the imperial cabinet minister, seemed a little greedy for money at this moment, no one would question that this cabinet minister was a money addict.
The most important thing is to remove the Li family's money.
The officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards, who had just experienced a continuous battle tonight, immediately formed a team under the command of the commander, and in a short time they had set off and left outside the Jin Prince's Mansion.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi turned his eyes to another officer of the Hundred Households of the Beijing Army who had arrived.
The hundreds of officers of the Beijing army camped in the capital looked condensed and raised their fists: "Reporting to Your Highness, it is..."
Baihuguan was hesitant and did not dare to speak.
Ma Hongqing, who is currently the commander of the Beijing Army, his face darkened and he said coldly: "Speak clearly!"
Bai Huguan's shoulders trembled, and he quickly lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Something happened in Mr. Wen's courtyard. There is chaos in the city tonight. There are thieves from the White Lotus Sect who sneaked into Mr. Wen's courtyard with the intention of hurting people. Madam Mr. Wen... although there are guards in golden clothes.
Guards, but there are many thieves. The young master and his wife fled through the secret passage in the cellar. Unexpectedly, they stumbled. The young master and his wife... slipped..."
Baihuguan did not dare to let go of any details and spoke in detail about what happened.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dead silence fell in front of the main hall of Prince Jin's Mansion.
All around, there was only the wind and snow blowing all over the sky.
Zhu Yunxi felt his eyes go dark, and if Tian Mai hadn't stretched out his hand to support him behind his eyes, he would have fallen to the ground.
And everyone around him also had solemn expressions, with deep worry on their faces without exception.
Zhu Fan even stepped forward and lifted up the official of the Hundred Households of the Beijing Army who came to report.
Zhu Fan, who was wearing the prince's uniform, stared with murderous intent and overwhelming power: "What on earth is going on! Why are there White Lotus Sect thieves going there! In addition to the Jin Yiwei, your Beijing army did not send anyone to protect you? You know this
How serious is the matter?"
Zhu Fan was almost going crazy.
He pushed hard the Baihu official who was held in his palm.
Zhu Fan said angrily: "Where are those thieves from the White Lotus Sect!"
At this time, Baihuguan was frightened.
I could only subconsciously stammer: "Escape...escape..."
Zhu Fan breathed heavily in his chest, and his face turned blue and purple.
Regardless of Zhu Yunwen's current identity and status in the clan, the woman Qiuniang's belly is the blood of the Zhu family.
He is a descendant of the Ming Dynasty royal family.
If the tire slip was caused by Qiuniang's physical discomfort, then no one could say anything.
But because of the rebellion in the city tonight, the unborn child with the blood of the Ming clan in Qiuniang's belly was gone, and the world would only think it was a conspiracy!
No matter how the court explains it.
This is a conspiracy!
The hundreds of officials from the Beijing army who came to report were so frightened that Zhu Fan mentioned this that they were so frightened that their eyes went straight.
Gao Yangzhi was originally immersed in the joy that countless gold and silver would soon flow through his hands, and that he would be the first in the cabinet to touch those countless coins and be able to participate in the control.
Suddenly heard the news.
The young cabinet minister felt cold all over.
Gao Yangzhi's face was livid, he stepped forward and took Zhu Fan's hand, making him let go of the official of the Hundred Households of the Beijing Army who was tightly held in his hand.
He looked at Baihuguan with cold eyes and waved his hand coldly: "Back off!"
Bai Huguan immediately bowed and clasped his fists, retreating away from here at a speed that the naked eye could not keep up with.
Gao Yangzhi watched Baihuguan leave with a cold face. He let out a long sigh and turned around with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, this matter... the world still doesn't know about it. If it is related to Suan..."
Zhu Yunxi raised his hand and interrupted Gao Yangzhi's words.
His face was equally ugly.
In addition to the possible bad effects caused by the loss of the unborn clan son in Qiuniang's womb, it will cast a shadow on what should have been a smooth sailing and a beautiful suppression of the imperial court's rebellion.
What he was more worried about was Zhu Yunwen's reaction.
If you are not a parent, it is difficult to understand the thoughts and feelings of a parent.
Even though he tried his best to suppress them, Zhu Yunxi had already been missing the two little people in Tiancheng for several months now, and he missed them endlessly.
Zhu Yunxi turned around and grabbed Tian Mai's arm to give himself a relay point.
His face was completely pale, and his lips had no trace of blood.
Zhu Yunxi said in a low voice: "Order... order the three guards of the Jin Palace to enter the city and take control of all the gates in Taiyuan City. With Wu Gu's order, no one is allowed to leave Taiyuan City!"
Zhu Fan smashed his hands together and shouted loudly.
"Second dick!"
Zhu Jiye, who was directing the men to clean up the palace, hurried over from the front after hearing the sound.
Zhu Jiye looked around at the faces of everyone in front of him and knew that something serious was going on.
He nodded quickly, bowed and clasped his fists.
"My son is here."
Zhu Fan stared at Zhu Jiye and pointed at Zhu Jiye: "You, you personally lead the people out of the city! Take the three guards of the palace back to Taiyuan City, replace the officers and soldiers at the city gates, and you personally guard the city gates. Without Taisun's order, that is
Even if you are an ant, don't let me out of Taiyuan City, otherwise I will take care of you!"
Regardless of the reason, Zhu Jiye raised his hands, bowed forward, took the tiger talisman of the three guards of the Jin Palace from Zhu Fan, and immediately led a group of the palace guards to find their horses and leave the city.
After arranging for Zhu Jiye to take over the three guards of the palace outside the city, Zhu Fan turned around and walked up to Zhu Yunxi.
Zhu Fan sighed softly: "For the current plan, we must first arrest the thief, and then execute him with capital punishment to eliminate the sadness in Brother Wen's heart."
Zhu Yunxi nodded and said in a cold voice: "Check! Sun Cheng, Tian Mai, you two personally take people to check. None of those who escaped tonight will be spared. If you can't find anyone, don't come back."
"
Sun Cheng and Tian Mai looked condensed.
Both of them felt the anger in Taisun's heart. This was something they had never felt before when they worked with Taisun as errands.
The two of them did not dare to hesitate and turned around to leave after receiving their orders.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the manpower being sent out one after another, and looked up to the east of Taiyuan City.
Between heaven and earth, the color of night is melting little by little.
The hazy colors before daylight are being hung in the sky one by one.
This luster makes everyone's vision blurred, and everything around them is blurry, as if covered with a mysterious veil.
"Go to my second brother."
After a long, long time.
Zhu Yunxi's voice had become a little hoarse and he spoke.
After he finished speaking, he ignored everyone else's reaction, tightened his cloak with both hands, and walked down the steps alone.
Behind him, Gao Yangzhi, Zhu Fan and others looked at each other with worry on their faces. They didn't say a word, but they all followed closely behind Zhu Yunxi who was walking in front.
Taiyuan City.
A whole night of turmoil caused countless houses and buildings to be immersed in a sea of fire.
Ashes were flying all over the sky, as if they were competing with the white snow.
The turmoil in the city is being quelled bit by bit.
The officers and soldiers, led by the guards of the Jin Palace who were familiar with the terrain of Taiyuan City, were conducting the final search in one street after another.
Sparsely, small sounds of fighting could be heard from time to time in every corner.
Liu Zongsheng, who had a wound on his arm, dragged the knife in his hand and stumbled through the streets and alleys of Taiyuan City, surrounded by King Han Ming and others.
Liu Zongsheng's face looked ugly.
He couldn't get rid of Zhu Yunwen, who had betrayed his career that he had worked so hard for countless years, and even his woman couldn't be killed.
He still can't figure it out.
Even though he cut off the hands and feet of the two Jinyi guards, the two men also tried to bite his legs and feet with their mouths.
If it weren't for the two brave and unafraid Jinyi guards who fought to the death to delay time, they would wait until they heard the noise in the distance and rushed over to receive support from the Beijing officers and soldiers.
I can definitely get rid of Zhu Yunwen's woman.
Do you have to live in failure this whole life?
Liu Zongsheng was immersed in despair.
King Han Ming, however, looked anxious.
If he hadn't wanted to use Liu Zongsheng's position in the White Lotus Sect to protect himself, he would have left the damn Liu Zongsheng behind and escaped alone.
"Taibao, if we go further to the culvert, we can escape from Taiyuan City by following the culvert."
Taiyuan City is not a perfectly integrated city.
The White Lotus Sect has been operating with great concentration for many years and is naturally familiar with Taiyuan City.
There is the only culvert next to the west city, which is usually used to discharge sewage from high areas in the city directly into the Fenshui River outside the city.
Extremely filthy.
But there was only this culvert, which was just big enough for a person to crouch down and escape from Taiyuan City.
Looking at Liu Zongsheng who was silent.
King Han Ming, who had been held hostage for countless years, could not help but have countless thoughts in his mind.
"Prince Xiao Ming, we've arrived."
A guard opened a partition on the ground in the corner of a courtyard.
The culvert that could escape Taiyuan City appeared in everyone's sight.
Then there was a stench that went straight to the forehead and penetrated into everyone's nostrils.
"Walk!"
King Han Ming finally turned his head and took a look at Taiyuan City, where there were countless wars. He was led by two guards and he personally helped Liu Zongsheng get into the culvert.
The darkness hid their figures at this moment.
And in the sky above Taiyuan City.
The first ray of morning sun on the horizon finally arrived unexpectedly.
A faint orange-red light fell on the city top and flowed into the city.
