Qin Fugui told the story of the future, and finally solved Zhu Cian's confusion, but his face turned pale with fright: "You mean that the factory owner brought five or six hundred troops?"
"Well, there are about seven hundred people. They are all tall and powerful..." Qin Fugui did not notice that the Prince Heng in front of him was already shaky and unsteady.
"Hey, it's coming, your highness, look at it." Qin Fugui, who was praising the strength of the two battalions of Dongchang's soldiers, raised his hand and pointed to the due north. Everyone looked along and saw that a few miles away, nearly a hundred people were riding slowly by the Beiyang River.
Come slowly.
It's really here! Zhu Cian was so shocked that he sat down on the ground. Hu Yang and other guards rushed to help him, but Qin Fugui was still in high spirits: "Can there be any fake ones?... Oops." But it was Hu Yang, the chief guard of the palace, who
His feet were kicked off: "Can you just say a few words to him?"
"Yes, yes, yes" Qin Fugui got up slightly embarrassed and waved towards the north: "The factory governor is here, Prince Heng is here, come quickly!"
Zhu Cian's vision suddenly went dark and he fainted!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince." When Zhu Cian woke up leisurely, what came into view was the crooked melon and cracked date of Populus euphratica, and he breathed a long breath: "Your Highness, you are awake."
"Where is this?" Zhu Cian took a quick glance and found that it was by the river. Then he looked at the place where he had planned to have a picnic. He didn't hear what Yang Hu and others were saying and he felt suspicious. He was about to ask, but he saw everyone around him staring at the same place.
So I followed the trail and saw a person not far away feasting on the delicacies they had brought from the palace for a picnic.
"Who is that person?" Zhu Ci'an felt nervous.
"That's the governor of the East Factory," Hu Yang said in a low voice. At that moment, the man turned around and looked, but it was a young man with a tired face.!
"Liar, we have been fooled!" Zhu Cian jumped up and said, "How could the governor of the East Factory be a young man..." However, he immediately shut up as soon as he jumped up.
Because only then did he see clearly that there were nearly a hundred strong men beside the young man. Qin Fugui was uneducated and could only say "big and tall", but what the hell, he was just "big and tall". He was tall, strong and full of murderous aura. At first glance, he looked like that
Zhu Cian even thought that they only needed ten people at most to kill all the nearly a hundred guards in his house who were so brave and brave soldiers who crawled out from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood!
The young man looked at Zhu Cian and smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness is awake." He threw something. Zhu Cian stretched out his hand to catch it. It was a waist sign. On the back, it said "come here". The so-called "drive" means as if I were here in person. Only the waist of the factory supervisor
This is the only card that has this. On the front: Imperial Commissioner of the East Jishi Factory... He glanced at it and Zhu Cian didn't even finish reading it. He held the waist card in both hands and ran to Chang Yu and bowed down: "Zhu Cian of Prince Heng's Palace has met Mr. Factory Official."
”.
Dongchang's reputation was too great, and the shadow left by Wei Zhongxian on the Ming Dynasty was too deep. When he was in power, the officials in the capital lined up to call him daddy, and the princes and nobles would not follow suit, let alone the vassals outside. The then emperor's younger brother Xin
Wang Chongzhen had to act like a good boy in front of him.
So even after decades, the name of Dongchang is still shining brightly. The little prince of the feudal lord must keep his tail between his legs, because the factory director of Dongchang is the emperor's confidant! To disrespect him is to disrespect the emperor.
No disrespect, sometimes it only takes one sentence to mess with you.
"Jiu Wen Heng's Mansion is in Lishan in Qingzhou, and His Royal Highness is so polite to know that our family has been exhausted all the way to welcomes the food for ten miles away.
He joked.
Zhu Ci'an looked a little embarrassed and said quickly: "It's fine if the factory owner doesn't mind the coarse tea and rice. I will let the factory owner and all the soldiers eat and drink well when we return to the city later."
Chang Yu laughed loudly and patted Zhu Cian on the shoulder: "His Royal Highness is also an interesting person." Zhu Cian was shocked to realize that the young eunuch in front of him was actually taller than himself and very strong. He quickly raised his hand and said: "Mr.
Sir, would you like to enter the city now?"
"That's fine, the situation is urgent. Let's go into the city early and make preparations." Chang Yu nodded and replied, but Zhu Cian shivered. It was obvious that he was thinking too much, so he couldn't help it anymore: "Factory Supervisor, please forgive me for asking Cian, do you dare to ask?"
Why did you come to Qingzhou Mansion?"
Chang Yu was startled: "I have been ordered to protect Prince Heng's Mansion!"
Ah! Zhu Ci'an was confused. Didn't he come to ransack the house for protection? What did he mean: "Ci'an doesn't understand, please ask the factory supervisor to clarify."
"Didn't that guy tell you?" Chang Yu raised his hand and pointed at Qin Fugui, who was still grilling fish by the river: "The Tatar army of tens of thousands is about to attack Qingzhou Mansion..."
"The Tatars are here again!" Zhu Cian took a few steps back, his face turning pale and livid. The people in Dongchang are certainly scary, but the Tatars are even more inhumane. If Li Shiyuan hadn't fought to defend the city two years ago, the Tatars would have
Prince Heng's palace was defeated. At that time, he went to the city to watch the battle and saw the brutality of the Tatars. He had nightmares for several months, and the shadow left was too deep. How could he not be shocked when he heard about it again now?
After all, he is a young man who has not yet fulfilled his important duties. Zhu Cian was frightened repeatedly in less than an hour and his spirit was a little confused. He was babbling something in his mouth and suddenly bowed to Chang Yu: "Factory Supervisor, please excuse me."
"Ci'an wants to go first." As he said this, he was about to get on his horse but couldn't get up. Hu Yang hurried over to help him get on his horse. At this moment, more than a hundred riders came running from a few miles to the south.
"It can't be your father, oh, Prince Heng is here, that's too polite," Chang Yu raised his eyes and said with a faint smile.
The person who came was not King Heng, but a city guard general. It turned out that Zhu Cian's brothers were riding horses back to the city. As soon as they returned to the city, they asked the city gate guards to report to Li Shiyuan that there was a group of suspected horse thieves ten miles north of the city. They were fighting with Heng.
Prince Wang confronts him.
Horse thief, Crown Prince? The officers and soldiers did not dare to neglect. Before the news was reported to Li Shiyuan, the general led his troops and horses to rush to the rescue. He shouted from a distance: "Your Highness, Crown Prince, please don't panic. Surrender that traitor quickly and don't kill him!"
As he got closer, he saw Zhu Cian winking at him vigorously. He was also a shrewd man. Seeing the extraordinary momentum of Chang Yu's troops and wearing military uniforms, he knew that things were a bit complicated. He asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, where are these people from?"
”.
"The great eunuch of Dongchang"! Zhu Ci'an sighed, turned around and hugged Chang Yu, then beat his horse and galloped away.
General Pi was stunned. Chang Yu smiled and said, "This general is so powerful!"
"Young Chen Huacheng has met the factory master!" The general kowtowed quickly, and Chang Yu smiled slightly: "General Chen, let's go back to the city together."
"I don't dare to be called a general. I'm just a general." Chen Huacheng said quickly, and Chang Yu hummed: "Do you know Li Shiyuan?"
"I will obey the orders under General Li." Li Shiyuan was the Qingzhou garrison and was fully responsible for the city defense. Originally, the commander of the Qingzhou Guards was above him. However, when the Qing army besieged the city two years ago, the commander Huang Huan died in battle. The court was busy suppressing bandits and had no time to do this.
The position has always been vacant. To put it bluntly, Li Shiyuan is now the military boss of Qingzhou City.
After telling the governor about Li Shiyuan, Chang Yu got on his horse and ran south. Chen Huacheng followed closely and vividly told how Li Shiyuan saw through the Qing army's attempt, how he heroically killed the enemy and defended the city, and finally saved Qingzhou City from the Tatars.
All in all, Li Shiyuan is a god, the patron saint of Qingzhou Prefecture.
Chang Yu listened quietly to Chen Huacheng's vomiting along the way, his expression was calm and he didn't say anything. After crossing the Nanyang River for a few miles, he saw many people surrounding the north gate of Qingzhou City.
Not long after, Qin Fugui, who had been in front, ran over again with a silly smile on his face: "Mr. Factory Governor, Prince Heng is waiting for you at the city gate."
Cough cough cough, Chang Yu almost choked, Zhu Youyi came to the city gate to greet him?
The king is the brother of the emperor, and his position is extremely high.
Eunuchs, servants of the emperor, have a very humble position.
Even when Wei Zhongxian was in power, the vassal king was frightened and fawned over him, but he still retained his due identity in the scene. This was a rule that could not be exceeded, otherwise it would be an insult to the royal family.
When Chang Yu arrived in Da Da, the acting king Zhu Chuanji (Huo Qi) left the city and did not even welcome him at the gate of the royal palace. He did not even look down on him. Zhu Shenxuan, the king of the Jin Dynasty in Taiyuan, the vassal king who had the best relationship with Chang Yu also
He had not greeted him, but King Heng, whom he had never met before, rushed to the city gate to greet an eunuch. Although he was the boss of Dongchang, this was really humiliating, and if this matter spread, it would inevitably happen again.
Someone took advantage of the topic...The great eunuch of Dongchang was in power and forced the feudal lord to leave the city to meet...all kinds of dirty tricks.
