When Guo Tianxin learned about this, he didn't know whether he should be happy or angry. Zhu Tianjiang was a member of his Guo family, so he should be happy to be reused by His Majesty. However, when he thought about who Zhu Tianjiang was facing,
Guo Tianxin was not happy at all. Not only that, Guo Tianxin immediately rushed to the residence of Li Hong, Minister of War. He wanted to ask Li Hong why he didn't stop this incident from happening in the court.
Deep in the palace, Eunuch Wei led a group of young eunuchs, trying to block Prince Jing who was going crazy.
"Prince Jing is a thousand years old, please don't embarrass me. The emperor doesn't want to see you, and there's nothing I can do about it. If you try to force your way in, according to the ancestral law, you will be punished for committing a crime." Eunuch Wei bowed and stretched his waist.
Open your hands and keep saying good things.
"I just want to ask that royal brother if he still sees me as his younger brother. Get out of his way, and you will see me today if you don't see me." King Jing rushed left and right, but was blocked by the eunuchs.
"My thousand-year-old Prince Jing, aren't you asking for my life? I beg you, please spare us."
How dare Wei Zhenghai let Prince Jing in? If he really broke in, the emperor would have to beat them all to death with sticks.
Prince Jing was exhausted and could not break through the obstruction of these eunuchs. He had no choice but to go to Kun's harem and seek comment from the old queen.
In the Qian Palace, Emperor Chengwu and Wei Zhan were sitting silently. Neither of them spoke. Emperor Chengwu was full of worries. He, the head of the Dafeng Dynasty, was not so easy to be a leader. Wei Zhan was thinking
He was even more confused. He didn't expect that Prince Jing, an old fox, would turn against him and retreat after throwing Zhu Tianjiang out. The situation in Shutian Mansion was extremely complicated. Wei Zhan asked Prince Jing to come out because he was a prince, not because of his identity.
Ability. Now that King Jing is missing to hold the battle, Wei Zhan only relies on Zhu Tianjiang with a useless prince, and Wei Zhan feels unsure.
"Your Majesty, your imperial decree was a bit hasty, wasn't it?" Wei Zhan finally couldn't help but said.
"Hurry? You don't know the situation at that time. Prince Jing took the lead, and all the civil servants in the dynasty were as if Zhu Tianjiang had given them gifts, and they recommended them desperately. I have been on the throne for more than 20 years, and I haven't seen him yet.
Who has ever been recommended by the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty so neatly? If he hadn't known about their little thoughts, I would have really thought that this boy was a genius." Emperor Chengwu said with a snort.
"Your Majesty, since you know the thoughts of the civil servants, why do you let Zhu Tianjiang take over this important task?"
"You have to ask Zhu Tianjiang about this. The emperor gave him a chance, but this boy insisted on taking over. Now that it's over, the emperor has even hooked up with the prince Princess. If he can't handle it, the emperor can only let him
His head fell to the ground." Emperor Chengwu said displeasedly.
Having said that, Wei Zhan was helpless. The imperial edict had been issued, unlike the last time he dealt with Zhu Tianjiang, who changed the edict before leaving the palace. The imperial edict had been issued to six departments, and there was no way to change it.
Change.
Eunuch Wei walked in nervously and said, "Your Majesty, the old Queen Mother invites you to visit Kun's harem."
Emperor Chengwu frowned. No need to ask, it must be his younger brother Prince Jing who went to file a complaint. Furthermore, Emperor Chengwu sent people to Shutian Mansion to collect taxes, and his mother-in-law would definitely help his uncle.
sentence.
"Tell the Queen Mother that I am dealing with an urgent memorial, and I will go to pay my respects later." Emperor Chengwu refused the old Queen Mother's call without hesitation. It would not be a good idea to see the Queen Mother at this time. It is better to wait until Zhu Tianjiang leaves.
After that, it’s not too late to go.
Eunuch Wei carefully retreated, and Wei Zhan didn't want to say anything else, so he retreated. Since Zhu Tianjiang was going on errands alone, Wei Zhan had to redeploy his forces and help him raise some money to come back.
In the capital, the people started talking about Zhu Daguan becoming a tax collector. Ordinarily, this was just an ordinary job, but with the participation of the fourth prince and Yu Gege, it became very different. From the founding of the Dafeng Dynasty to the present,
First, I have never heard of a prince serving as an entourage for his ministers, and I have never heard of Princess participating.
However, after the fourth prince Xuanzhu and Yugege received the imperial edict, they were very happy. As young people, who doesn’t want to go out and spread their wings and fly high, and they also feel bored and panicked when they are always stuck in the capital. Especially the fourth prince
Prince, I wish I could leave the palace quickly so that I don't have to look at the faces of those brothers.
Guo Tianxin ran to Shangshu's Mansion to find out the reason, and returned to the General's Mansion not long after. The emperor ordered to set off today, and he had to leave the capital before the sun set today. He came back to give a few instructions.
Zhu Tianjiang was extremely busy. He first asked his master Lin Feng for instructions, and then went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to receive his official seal and entourage. Mrs. Guo and Guo Ying even ordered their servants to quickly help Zhu Tianjiang pack his luggage. The work here is not finished yet.
, the palace eunuch came again to convey the order, asking Zhu Tianjiang to take the prince out of the palace. Even though the fourth prince was nominally Zhu Tianjiang's deputy, he was still a dragon, so he had to pick him up in a graceful manner.
By the time Zhu Tianjiang took the fourth prince to the General's Mansion, Yu Gege's car had already arrived. It was no small matter for Gege to go on a long trip, and the princess packed the car with large and small luggage.
"Tianjiang, are you crazy? How could you accept such an errand?" Guo Tianxin called Zhu Tianjiang into the room and couldn't help scolding him.
"General Guo, it's too late to say anything now. As soon as the emperor's golden pen arrives, we have to hit the road, otherwise we won't be able to reach the next station." Zhu Daguan said nonchalantly.
"Alas! Young man, you don't know how deep the water is there. I'm warning you, uncle Zhou's family has their direct descendants in the civil and military factions. Otherwise, your boy will be doomed this time." Guo Tianxin
Said worriedly.
"What, he still dares to kill me?" Zhu Tianjiang was shocked.
"That's not a big deal, but if you're a high-ranking official, you'll be crushed to death. If he beats you up and tells you to come back, what can you do?"
Zhu Tianjiang nodded. He had already prepared for this, so Zhu Tianjiang asked the fourth prince to accompany him.
"By the way, is the military camp really so short of food and pay?" Zhu Tianjiang suddenly asked.
Guo Tianxin was startled and looked outside carefully, "What the hell, I dare say that the northern camp has enough private food and salary for half a year. However, the Ministry of War doesn't know about this. Only the people below know about it.
Countless." Guo Tianxin looked at Zhu Tianjiang with deep meaning.
"I understand, it would be a fool to not be greedy if you have money. General Guo, I'm afraid your Zhennan Camp has a lot of goods secretly stored there, right?" Zhu Tianjiang smiled.
General Guo grimaced, "How do you say this? General I am not that kind of person. I only think about the brothers under my command."
"Hey, that's that. Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I have to go and do some work quickly."
Zhu Tianjiang said in his heart that I haven't said goodbye to Xiao Guoying yet, so how can I have time to chat with you, a father?
In less than three hours, the palace sent the gold pen given by the emperor to the Guo Mansion. This was a sacred object. Guo Tianxin set up the incense table, and Zhu Daguan took the gold pen ceremoniously. After weighing the weight, Zhu Daguan felt that it fit his hand and it went smoothly.
Pin it on your waist.
When everything was ready, Zhu Tianjiang left the General's Mansion with the twenty official servants assigned to him by the household department and Si Zhu from Sticking Post, plus the twenty guards from the palace.
It was no small matter for the prince to leave the capital. He had to walk under the palace wall before leaving the city. After hearing this, many people took to the streets to see what the legendary Zhu Daguan looked like.
On the palace wall, Emperor Chengwu stood majestically on the platform of the city tower. According to the ancestral tradition, he had to accept the farewell of the prince. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty lined up on the city wall, which could be regarded as giving prestige to these people.
Under the palace wall, the fourth prince Xuanzhu and Zhu Tianjiang stood beside the horse, while Yu Gege stood beside the car.
"My son, Xuanzhu, bids farewell to my father."
"Student Zhu Tianjiang bids farewell to His Majesty the Master."
As the two people spoke, they knelt down on the ground. Behind them, Yu Gege and others also knelt together.
"Xuanzhu, descended from heaven, don't let down the expectations of your father and me, go ahead!" Emperor Cheng Wu waved his hand.
After the two of them thanked me, they just stood up when they heard an angry voice shouting from the city wall: "Zhu Tianjiang, listen to me, you kid, you dared to treat my Yu'er badly on the road, I will not break your kid's legs."
No."
After saying that, Prince Jing immediately changed his tone, "I say Yu'er, if you want to eat on the way, let this boy prepare it for you. Don't treat yourself badly. When you sleep, cover yourself with more quilts and don't freeze.
.If you don’t like this kid, let the guards in our house beat him up, and don’t give this kid a good face.”
Emperor Chengwu smiled bitterly, saying that the royal family's face was almost lost to his younger brother. Emperor Chengwu also sent Yugege out in anger, and now he regrets it a little. After being made such a fuss by Prince Jing, he originally sent Yugege out.
The serious scene immediately became irrelevant. Yu Gege felt her face heat up and quickly got into her four-horse carriage. It was her first time traveling far away, and Yu Gege was excited and nervous at the same time.
The fourth prince and Zhu Tianjiang mounted their horses one after another, and as the team marched, the civil and military ministers couldn't help but burst into laughter. They were not laughing at Prince Jing, but at Zhu Tianjiang.
Others would hold their chests out and their heads raised when riding a horse, but he lay on the horse's back, sticking his butt out and holding the horse's neck tightly with both hands.
Laughter, Zhu Daguan couldn't care about so much. He couldn't ride a horse at all, and he was afraid of falling if he walked any faster. Along the way, amid the laughter of the people, the team finally walked out of the city gate.
The team had just walked five miles away when they heard Zhu Daguan shout, "Stop~! Stop everyone!" With that, Zhu Tianjiang jumped down from his horse.
"Damn it, I don't think I have any chance of riding a horse in this life." After saying that, Zhu Tianjiang walked to Yu Gege's carriage and got on the carriage without saying a word.
"Ah~ you~ how can you come in, get out!" Yu Gege saw that this guy was going to ride in the same car with her, and she screamed in fright. Her identity could not be shared with the man in the car. If this was to be spread, there would be
Losing royal dignity.
"Asshole, come down here, do you hear me?" The fourth prince also felt that it was a bit too much and pointed at Zhu Tianjiang and yelled angrily.
"What are you shouting for? I don't know how to ride a horse. Are you trying to kill me along the way?" Zhu Daguan glared at him. He didn't care about Prince Gege. He was the biggest one outside the capital.
"Bold, if you don't come down, don't blame us for being rude." The guards of the palace glared at Zhu Tianjiang one by one.
"Damn! I've turned against you again." Zhu Daguan said, and suddenly pulled out the gold pen.
"Did you see it? This is a gold pen given by the emperor. I will stab him to death with this pen if he dares to do anything wrong." Zhu Daguan made a gesture with his teeth and claws, which really calmed everyone down.
The fourth prince Xuanzhu frowned and said, "Tianxiang, you are still not abiding by the rules. After all, Yumei is also a relative of the emperor. How can I ride in the same car with you?"
"Xuanzhu, you kid, shut up. From now on, everything is up to me. If you kid disobeys me, believe it or not, I will beat you up." Zhu Tianjiang pointed at Xuanzhu with a gold pen.
When the palace guards who were following the fourth prince heard this, they realized that this guy was totally treasonous, and they cheered and surrounded the car.
"Zhu Tianjiang, if you dare to be disrespectful to the fourth prince, believe it or not, we will take you down right now!" These guards are all people who follow the fourth prince. When they see their master being bullied, it's okay to deal with it.
When the twenty officials from the household department saw that the palace and palace guards were surrounding Zhu Tianjiang, they thought to themselves that the attack was over. They probably wouldn't be able to go ten miles away before our master would be beaten to death.
Officer Zhu snorted coldly. Lin Feng told him before going out that if he didn't surrender this group of people, he wouldn't be able to successfully complete this mission.
"Zhu one, Zhu two, Zhu three, Zhu four! Fight me!" Zhu Tianjiang gave the order, and the four masters of Zhangan who accompanied him in the name of Guo Mansion rushed forward with bare hands.
There were ten guards from the palace and ten palace guards each. Even though there were many of them, they were no match for these four people. These four people were carefully selected by Mu Qi himself, and their kung fu was outstanding. After a while, there were people on the ground.
Lying down.
The fourth prince Xuan Zhu and Yu Gege looked at Zhu Tianjiang angrily. This guy was simply too arrogant. Hitting their entourage was tantamount to slapping the royal family in face.
"Zhu Tianjiang, do you want to rebel?" Xuanzhu's riding whip pointed at Zhu Tianjiang and said angrily.
"Shut up, I'm on a patrol to collect taxes on the emperor's orders, so as to create a rebellion. The emperor has said that I will have full authority to deal with anyone who disobeys, including you." Zhu Tianjiang told lies without shame. No one dared to go there anyway.
Ask the emperor if this is the case.
The fourth prince was stunned, not knowing whether it was true or not. Just when he was about to speak, he heard Zhu Tianjiang continue to say, "Zhu Yi, that kid was the most arrogant just now, kill him! From now on, anyone who disobeys will be killed. The sky will fall."
Come down, I'll hold on to you." Zhu Daguan pointed at the palace guard under Xuanzhu's horse and winked at Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi understood in his heart that he deliberately pulled out his sword, waved several swords in the air, shouted and rushed over.
"Wait a minute!" The fourth prince was so frightened this time that he didn't expect Zhu Tianjiang, a bastard, to really dare to kill people. Could it be that his father really gave him this right, otherwise it would be a serious crime of rebellion. The fourth prince thought for a while
, I feel that it is impossible for Zhu Tianjiang to falsely convey the holy will. It seems that this guy really has the permission of his father.
Xuanzhu stopped Zhu Yi and glanced at the guards, "From now on, all guards will obey Master Zhu's orders and must not disobey." Xuanzhu rolled his eyes and said helplessly.
Zhu Tianjiang looked happy and looked back at Yu Gege. Yu Gege glared at him angrily and said to the car: "The guards of the palace are listening to the order. From now on, they will obey Mr. Zhu's instructions."
"Hey, that's right. What about that! Zhu Yi, the motorcade is handed over to you, brothers, let's set out!" Officer Zhu successfully seized the prince and Princess's "military power" and got into the carriage happily.
The twenty officials from the Ministry of Revenue all had their mouths open, and now their eyes were opened. These guys originally thought they were depressing drudges, and before they came, they were thinking, Mr. Zhu, don't let Uncle Guo.
He was kicked back. Now it seems that Master Zhu is really as legendary as a person who is not afraid of anything.
When the officials of the Ministry of Revenue saw the unfortunate appearance of the palace guards, they all held their heads high and their momentum immediately became high.
