Wei Wuque also didn't believe that Wang Xian was dead. The man found a path and went down the cliff, but he didn't find Wang Xian's body. So he looked for clues to track him down. Unfortunately, it was not a coincidence.
, a heavy rain in the middle of the night washed away all traces of Wang Xian and others, causing him to completely lose his target.
However, Wei Wuque was not discouraged. In his opinion, no matter how Wang Xian hid, he would eventually return to Jinan, so he mobilized the forces of the Han Dynasty Army and the White Lotus Sect to block all roads leading to Jinan, and then blocked every inch of the road to Jinan.
Search inch by inch, dig three feet into the ground to find Wang Xian!
Unfortunately, not everyone is as patient as him. After searching for two days and finding nothing, Zhu Zhantan became impatient. He found Wei Wuque, who was interrogating mountain people in a certain village, and wanted to lead the troops.
Walk.
"Mr. Wei, these troops have not been cleansed yet and cannot be seen in the light." Zhu Zhantan said to Wei Wuque: "Struggling like this all day long will cause problems. It is better for me to take them back, or reorganize and hide them...
…”
"There is no big problem. Finding Wang Xian is the top priority, and other things must be put in the back row." Wei Wuque disagreed. He looked at Zhu Zhan and said frankly: "This is what your father said, and the prince will just obey it."
Seeing that Wei Wuque did not accept his fault and even carried his father out to suppress him, Zhu Zhantan said unhappily: "I don't understand, why are you so frightened by the man named Wang? Not to mention that he is probably dead now.
In which ravine? Even if he is still alive, what can he do?" Zhu Zhantan said with disdain: "The entire army of 20,000 has been wiped out, and half of Shandong has fallen into Bai Lian's hands. With my emperor's temper, I will not raid his entire family.
It’s all considered merciful!”
However, Wei Wuque just shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, I still don't understand what that man is capable of. Unless I see his body, I will never believe that he is dead. As long as he doesn't die for a day, he may ruin our big things!"
"Haha..." Zhu Zhantan couldn't help but sarcastically said: "I think Mr. Wei is trying not to gain too much popularity from others and destroy his own prestige!"
"Your Majesty, haven't we suffered enough?" Wei Wuque shook his head and continued to question the villagers in front of him, ignoring the slightly frivolous Zhu Zhantan.
Zhu Zhantan was furious, but the King of Han had ordered that Wei Wuque would be the main one on this trip, so he had to suppress the anger and slam the door.
Hearing a loud bang, Wei Wuque shook his head. The children of the Zhu family are really inferior to each other. It is strange that the Ming Dynasty has not been destroyed...
Zhu Zhantan left Wei Wuque angrily, and went straight back to Le'an Prefecture to complain to the King of Han. He originally wanted to accuse Wei Wuque of ignoring the overall situation and only focusing on personal grudges, but he really hoped that the King of Han would let him take the lead, but Zhu Gaoxu did not expect it.
After being scolded, everyone was stunned!
"Idiot!" Zhu Gaoxu glared at Zhu Zhantan and cursed: "You think we have already won and it's time to fight for power?! Let me tell you, everything hasn't started yet!"
"Father, please calm down, I didn't mean that..." Zhu Zhantan said casually: "My son is just worried that he will make too much noise and leak the news, which will be detrimental to the father."
"As long as we can catch Wang Xian! Nothing is a problem!" Zhu Gaoxu's answer was exactly the same as Wei Wuque's. He glared at his useless son and said coldly: "Don't think I don't know. You and Ma Zhong's group are ostracizing Wei Wuque."
Wu Que, don't let him get involved in the army! Otherwise, can the man named Wang escape from the dragnet in Hulukou?!"
"Father, my son and I have been wronged. It's all because of that idiot Ma Zhong's overestimation. I didn't expect that Wang Xian could kill him with just a few people..." Zhu Zhantan hurriedly defended.
"Okay! Don't let it go!" Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said patiently: "I tell you, kid, the first priority now is to catch Wang Xian! If we catch him, we can do whatever we want from now on. Great things can be expected! If
Let him escape, and he will have to change his tactics again! Do you understand?"
"I understand..." Zhu Zhantan said, his eyes a little straight.
"Go away!" Zhu Gaoxu knew that he didn't understand at all, and impatiently waved Zhu Zhantan away.
"Yes." Zhu Zhantan hurried away as if he had been granted amnesty. He really didn't understand until the end why his father, the king, and Wei Wuque, were still so afraid of Wang Xian, who was at the end of his rope? Could it be that he was really
Is he scared out of his wits?!
Looking at Zhu Zhantan's back, Zhu Gaoxu's face became darker and darker. He knew that this was his last chance in his life. If he missed it, he would really have no chance... The more he cared about it, the more careful he was. He must not
Let your surname be Wang!, once again ruined your own good deeds!
"Wang Zhongde!" Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were fixed on the map, as if he wanted to pull Wang Xian out of it. "Where the hell are you?!".
Want to know where Wang Xian is, and who is more than just a member of the White Lotus Sect and the King of Han? Chu Yan and Wei Yuan of Jinan City were also tortured by this question and almost went crazy.
They only learned of the bad news three days after the Qingzhou Incident. The government's e-mail intelligence system was completely paralyzed, and it was the Jin Yiwei who escaped from Qingzhou City who informed them of what happened in Qingzhou!
Chu Yan and Wei Yuan couldn't believe this bad news at first, but as more and more people escaped and the news they brought back became more and more detailed, they became even more unbelievable - the government's 20,000-strong army was actually captured.
They were all wiped out in Hulukou, Guo Yi was killed, Wang Xian disappeared, and the counter-rebellion army was completely wiped out! This, this, this, how is this possible?!
After confirming that the information was correct, Chu Yan fainted on the spot, and Wei Yuan was no better. He suddenly felt like he was ten years older, burst into tears and at a loss. He felt sorry for the unknown life and death of his students, and even more regretted the imperial court's decision.
The entire army has been wiped out. How can there be any army in Shandong that can resist the White Lotus Sect? Once they pursue the victory and attack Jinan, they will be unable to resist it!
There is no airtight wall in the world. Although Wei Yuan ordered to block the news and whitewash the situation, the news still spread like wildfire. Panic spread quickly. The avenues from east to north were filled with people fleeing from the city from morning to night!
Prices in the city have skyrocketed, and people are panicking. The Bailian Church entrances that had been knocked down suddenly sprouted up like mushrooms after a rain, and began to openly form gangs and recruit troops!
In the current situation, joining the White Lotus Sect can at least ensure safety. Those wealthy merchants, common people and even gentry who are unwilling to leave Jinan, or cannot leave Jinan, have joined the White Lotus Sect one after another. Even many officials in the government have become White Lotus sects. Jinan, the capital of such a large province,
Before the White Lotus Sect can attack, it has almost become the White Lotus Sect's world...
Faced with such a collapsed situation, Wei Yuan could only try his best to cheer up and maintain it. At the same time, he quickly submitted a letter asking the court to send troops to quell the rebellion immediately!
Urgent documents were rushed 800 miles away and delivered into the city of Beijing at starry night. It was already dark and the city gates were locked, but the messenger still opened the city gate with the command arrow and delivered the urgent documents through the crack in the gate of Xiyuan Palace!
Seeing the urgent military situation, the eunuch guarding the gate didn't dare to show any signs of neglect, so he rushed to the emperor's palace in a hurry. At that time, Zhu Di had already fallen asleep, but he was woken up by Huang Yanshao.
Zhu Di, who finally fell asleep, couldn't help but feel angry. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked harshly: "What's the matter? You can't wait until I get up to talk about it?!"
"Your Majesty," Huang Yan said with obvious tears: "The military situation is extremely urgent. The 20,000 counter-rebellion troops led by Wang Xian and Guo Yi have been completely wiped out!"
"What?!" Zhu Di suddenly lost all sleep. He grabbed the military newspaper and wanted to see what was written on it, but his vision was blurry.
Huang Huan hurriedly found flower glasses for the emperor. Zhu Di held up the crystal tortoise shell reading glasses and could see clearly the handwriting on the military newspaper. When he saw that Guo Yi was killed in battle, Wang Xian was missing, and the entire army was wiped out, Zhu Di looked like
After all the strength was drained from his body, the flower glasses and military newspapers in his hands all fell to the ground...
"How could this happen?!" Zhu Di's old face had a hint of old age. But after all, he was the Emperor Yongle who had experienced everything. After a while, he finally regained his composure, looked at Huang Yan and said: "Please, grandson
, King Zhao, several princes, and cabinet ministers came to discuss matters..."
"Yes!" Huang Yan took the order and went out, and the others went separately to deliver the order, while he himself went to Prince Zhao's Mansion to deliver the order.
By the time Huang Yan arrived at Prince Zhao's Mansion, Zhu Gaosui had already dressed and prepared his carriage and sedan, just waiting for him to come and summon him.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has a decree. Please come to the palace quickly to discuss the matter." Huang Yan finished his official duties and said with a smile: "It seems that Your Majesty already knows something, so let's get on our way quickly."
"Please, father-in-law, please ride with me in the car. We can chat slowly on the way." King Zhao looked more and more luxurious with his purple mink fur on his arms.
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." Huang Yan said, personally lifted the curtain for Zhu Gaosui, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please."
"Thank you, father-in-law." Zhu Gaosui nodded with a smile, stepped on the carriage stool, and Huang Yan followed suit.
King Zhao's carriage looks nothing special from the outside, but it is extremely luxurious inside. The four crystal lamps embedded in the four walls emit a soft yellow light, which is reflected on the pale golden velvet walls, making it even more luxurious and unparalleled.
!
Zhu Gaosui personally took out the wine bottle from the ice bucket, poured a glass of wine for Huang Yan, and said with a smile: "Try it, it's a good wine to relieve the heat."
Huang Xie picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The wine went straight into his throat and was refreshing. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of enjoyment and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is so good at enjoying it! Your Majesty's news is so well-informed!"
The relationship between Zhu Gaosui and Huang Yan was unusual, and he did not hide it. He said slowly: "To be honest, I knew about the Shandong matter two days earlier than my father. I didn't expect that the military report was not sent to the palace until tonight. It can be seen that
To what extent has the situation in Shandong become corrupted."
"Yes!" Huang Yan nodded while sipping the wine greedily: "Our family is really confused about this game right now."
"Haha, you are not the only one who is confused. Few of the dynasty's civil and military officials understand clearly." Zhu Gaosui held the tall wine glass and gently swayed the blood-red wine.
"The prince must understand." Huang Yan looked at Zhu Gaosui with a smile. Seeing his complacent expression, he quickly climbed up the pole and said, "Please give me some advice on what the hell is going on. Our family feels refreshed."
Now, it will be convenient for you to do things for the prince."
