Less than a hundred miles away from Pengcheng, there is a place called Luoyan Mountain. The terrain here is difficult, with mountains rolling for dozens of miles, and it is the main route from Shutian back to the capital. The soldiers and horses of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing chose to go to Luoyan Mountain
The mountain ambush became the Emperor Wu.
The person leading the team this time consisted of a commander and seven generals. Normally, for such a big event as welcoming the emperor, even if Xuan Ming didn't come, at least a deputy general should come. But Xuan Ming didn't dare to send other people.
The people who came to 'greet' the Holy Master this time were all the direct descendants of Xuan Ming and Xuan Can.
Different from the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, the ghost doctor Zhuo Xing only brought 400 people in a hurry. Even though Zhuo Xing's number was not large, they were all loyal to Zhou Yantian. If he could assassinate Emperor Cheng Wu by surprise,
, even if Zhuo Xing died in battle, it would still be worth it.
Emperor Chengwu and his entourage slowly and leisurely marched towards Pengcheng. As an emperor, this was a rare occasion. Emperor Chengwu also wanted to take this opportunity to appease the local people.
Zhu Tianjiang was lying on the thick horseback at the end of the team and dozing off. He was so hot these days that he didn't even wear official uniform. Da Niu was worried that Zhu Tianjiang would fall and fall, so he used a root gun every time he was on the road.
The rope kindly tied Zhu Tianjiang to the horse. Emperor Chengwu had long seen that Zhu Tianjiang wanted to ride in a car, but he just wouldn't say it. There were many vehicles accompanying him, but Emperor Chengwu just didn't want to.
You are allowed to sit. No matter how much Zhu Tianjiang tries, Emperor Cheng Wu will just pretend that he cannot see you. Let alone not wearing official uniforms, Emperor Cheng Wu will not care if Zhu Tianjiang is naked. In short, there is only one thing. You kid will be jolted to death on the horse.
, and have to ride back to Beijing.
Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others looked at Zhu Tianjiang's image, and they also felt that Zhu Daguan was about to lose the face of the Security Procuratorate. Yesterday, when passing by a county town, the county magistrate kneeling on the roadside saw the team tied to the back of the horse.
Zhu Tianjiang, thinking that he was a "diaomin" who had collided with the emperor, actually stepped forward and spat. With just this one mouthful, the unlucky county magistrate was almost beaten to death by the big bull.
"Sir, there is a group of carriages chasing after you." A scout came to Zhu Tianjiang and reported loudly.
Even though Zhu Tianjiang was tortured to death by Emperor Chengwu, he was the leader of this team. In other words, the emperor's safety was entrusted to him.
Zhu Tianjiang opened one eye and said, "Zhu Er, go over and take a look. If it's a normal caravan, let them take a detour." After saying that, Zhu Daguan continued to doze off.
When Zhu Er heard this, a dozen horses rushed behind him. When Zhu Er saw the hurried convoy, he couldn't help but be startled. It turned out to be his subordinates. The convoy had a brand name, which Zhu Er specially prepared for his subordinates.
A special mark made by a person.
This time, because Zhu Tianjiang was accompanied by Sticky Stick Department, he did not dare to expose his secret details. Therefore, Zhu Tianjiang asked Zhu Er to inform his subordinates that no contact was allowed unless there was a special emergency. The Sticky Stick Team followed closely
Like monkeys, if they see the flaw, they might be able to dig out all the secrets Zhu Er has laid.
Zhu Er knew that something serious must have happened, otherwise these people would not have pretended to be a caravan and hurriedly chased the royal team.
After a while, Zhu Er quickly caught up with the large group of people and hurriedly arrived in front of Zhu Tian's horse.
"Sir, wake up~ Something happened." Zhu Er whispered.
"Damn, what happened again?" Zhu Tianjiang stretched out his hand, unbuckled the rope and sat up.
"Master Lin has a secret letter with an urgent mark on it." Zhu Er said, handing a thin bamboo tube to Zhu Tianjiang.
When Zhu Tianjiang heard this, the first thing he thought of was Guo Ying and Yu Gege. Unless something happened to them, Lin Feng would not usually use this kind of mark to convey information. Zhu Tianjiang hurriedly crushed the wax seal and pulled out a roll of paper. The above
The characters were very small. After Zhu Tianjiang read it, his expression changed.
"It's over, let's do something bad." Zhu Tianjiang said and waved his hand, and Zhu Yi and others quickly gathered around.
"Xuanming sent 12,000 elite soldiers to pick him up. I'm afraid something big is going to happen~!" Zhu Tianjiang said, and told Zhu Yi and others the contents of the secret letter.
Upon hearing this, Xuanzhu said nonchalantly, "Heaven descends. I think this is normal. Uncle Jing sent troops to pick him up. This is what he should do."
"Fuck, what a pig brain. Your third brother is indeed better than you. The key here is not Prince Jing, but your eldest brother Xuan Ming." Zhu Tianjiang rolled his eyes at Xuan Zhu.
The secret letter was very detailed. Xuan Ming suddenly adjusted the grassroots commanders of the army and sent out this battle-like formation. Zhu Tianjiang did not think Xuan Ming was very noble. Although the secret letter did not explain that the eldest prince wanted to kill his father.
, but in Zhu Tianjiang's mind, he immediately thought of this. Since the third child Xuan Le told Lin Feng, Zhu Tianjiang knew that Xuan Le had probably guessed Xuan Ming's motives, so he went to find Lin Feng.
"Tianjiang, don't you mean that Xuanming wants~?" Xuanzhu didn't dare to say anything, and looked at Zhu Tianjiang in surprise.
"Okay, I'm not that stupid yet. You guessed right, this army is definitely evil." Zhu Tianjiang looked at Xuanzhu sternly.
Xuanzhu was a little stupid, "No way, Xuanming is not so bold~!"
"You idiot, you turned into a pig just after I praised you. Let me ask you, if something happens to our team, who in the capital can sit on the throne? You don't need to tell me, you can think of it, it must be Xuan Can. For the sake of supremacy
With the right, a mother can deal with her own son, and a son can also dare to deal with his father."
"Then~ what should we do? We need to tell our father about this as soon as possible." Xuanzhu said anxiously.
"Tell your father? How to say it? He said that your eldest brother and second brother are going to kill your father and usurp the throne. Your father can slap you to death. Besides, where did you get the news? Are you going to hand over all my men to the stick stick?"
Zhu Tianjiang said dissatisfied.
Zhu Tianjiang also had a headache. If he told Emperor Chengwu that his eldest son wanted to kill him, the old guy would definitely not believe it. But if he didn't tell him, Xuanming would definitely not let him go if something happened. Xuanzhu more
I am confused and don't know what to do.
"Xia Qing, how far is it to Pengcheng?" Zhu Tianjiang asked.
"At the current rate, it may take more than a day."
Zhu Tianjiang thought for a while and immediately ordered Daniel, "Daniu, go to the front and tell Mr. Qian Wang Yi to slow down and station himself in the small town ahead tonight."
After Zhu Tianjiang gave his instructions, he immediately thought of countermeasures in his mind. He even said that Zhu Tianjiang began to think about how to take people away from this team and let Emperor Cheng and Wu fight on their own to see who they loved.
Emperor Chengwu didn't even notice that his speed had slowed down. In Zhu Tianjiang's taxi, he was still playing chess with Wei Zhan. Before the sun set, a group of people arrived at a county town called Yujiaping. Emperor Chengwu was very worried.
They met with the local gentry representatives and the county magistrate in a friendly manner. When they heard that the emperor had arrived, the people in the small county town were as excited as if they were celebrating the New Year.
Zhu Tianjiang took advantage of the emperor's conversation with the squires and quietly came to Wei Zhan's side, "Uncle Master, I just heard from a brother from Sticking Branch that someone from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing seems to have sent someone to pick him up?"
Wei Zhan nodded. This matter was not a secret. He had received the news when he was stationed yesterday, but he just didn't announce it.
"Uncle Master, I want to discuss something with you. I want to take the people from the Security Procuratorate and let's go separately. I know the emperor may not agree, so I want to ask you for a favor." Zhu Tianjiang said thiefly.
"Impossible, the emperor asked you to return to Beijing together. He has a task to give you. As for what task, I can't say." Wei Zhan shook his head and said.
Zhu Tianjiang was very anxious. He was almost dead, and there was still a shitty mission. "Uncle Master, have you ever thought about whether Xuanming would do anything unusual if he sent troops to pick him up?"
Wei Zhan was stunned and immediately understood what Zhu Tianjiang was referring to, "You kid, don't think blindly, you can't talk about this kind of thing casually." Wei Zhan glared at Zhu Tianjiang.
Looking at Wei Zhan's serious expression, Zhu Tianjiang knew that it was useless to continue talking. Accusing the prince of rebellion was indeed not a trivial matter.
That night, Zhu Tianjiang and others discussed it carefully. The more Zhu Tianjiang thought about it, the more serious the consequences became. According to the time Lin Feng told him, Zhu Tianjiang calculated that they would meet as soon as tomorrow. In desperation, Zhu Tianjiang
I can only bite the bullet and go to see Emperor Chengwu.
When Emperor Chengwu heard that Zhu Tianjiang was going to take the people from the Security Procuratorate away from the large group, he said that he was going to help him get millions of taels of silver. Emperor Chengwu thought that Zhu Tianjiang couldn't bear the hardship of riding a horse, so he deliberately made excuses.
Wanting to leave, he rejected Zhu Tianjiang's proposal on the spot.
Zhu Tianjiang said all his good things, but Emperor Chengwu just didn't agree. When he was forced to do anything, Zhu Tianjiang gritted his teeth and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I want to say something, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
After Tian Jiang finished speaking, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at the Emperor Wu.
"If you fart, let it go, but if you want to go back to Beijing alone, this is absolutely not possible. I am also training you and Xuanzhu. After returning to Beijing, I still have important tasks for you to do. If you don't endure some hardships, I'm afraid that you will be ruined.
It’s not an important task.”
"Your Majesty, what I'm talking about is not such a trivial matter. However, you must first agree not to punish me for the death penalty."
"Haha!" Emperor Chengwu laughed, looked at Wei Zhan and said, "This kid has never made me worry-free. He has come back to the capital with conditions. Okay, I promise you, the speaker will not be guilty!"
Zhu Tianjiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, I am worried that the soldiers and horses in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing will be detrimental to you."
Emperor Chengwu was startled, "What? What did you say?" Emperor Chengwu stared at Zhu Tianjiang in surprise, "Bold servant, are you asking me to doubt my son?"
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry if I dare to say a few words." Zhu Tianjiang gave Emperor Cheng Wu a careful look.
"Say!" Emperor Cheng Wu's face darkened.
Zhu Tianjiang thought about it for a while and said to him, let him think about it. If he didn't say anything, he might not even have a chance tomorrow.
"Your Majesty, in the current battle for the prince, Xuan Can has been suppressed by Xuan Zhu and Xuan Le. If I guessed correctly, you should choose the prince among these two. Now if Xuan Can wants to fight for the future throne, it is almost
No chance. Now that you are traveling, to be disrespectful, if something happens to you, the eldest prince Xuan Ming will definitely support Xuan Can with his troops to succeed him. So I venture to guess that this is Xuan Can’s only chance."
Zhu Tianjiang said this, but he didn't realize that Emperor Cheng Wu was shaking with anger. Wei Zhan frowned, he didn't expect Zhu Tianjiang to tell the matter. Why are you, a minister, involved in the affairs of the royal family?
.
"Zhu~tian~come!" Emperor Chengwu said seriously, "I don't object to your kid helping Xuanzhu to rise to the throne, but using such methods to slander my other sons makes it impossible for me to spare you. Don't think I can't see it.
According to your idea, I guess putting both Xuan Can and Xuan Le into the cold palace is your ultimate goal, Zhu Tianjiang."
Zhu Tianjiang was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, I don't mean that. I'm really worried that they will kill you." Zhu Tianjiang said in a hurry. He dared to say such things as killing the emperor, so that's fine.
"Well, Zhu Tianjiang, you~you actually cursed me to die early, didn't you?" Emperor Chengwu suddenly stood up. No one in the Dafeng Dynasty dared to say this.
"No~I mean~I'm afraid of killing you~!" Zhu Tianjiang was so anxious that he couldn't explain clearly.
"Someone, take this damn thing off for me!"
Emperor Chengwu gave an order, and two Qinglong guards flashed out. They stepped forward and pushed Zhu Tianjiang to the ground.
"Since you are cursed to die, I will let you die first. Push it out and kill it!"
"Your Majesty, no!" Wei Zhan stepped forward and said hurriedly.
"Wei Zhan, no matter how talented he is, my will is over and no one can plead for mercy! Kill him!"
Emperor Chengwu was so mad at Zhu Tianjiang that no matter who came to beg for mercy today, he would not let Zhu Tianjiang go!
