In the imperial city, Zhu Yunwen's face was gloomy and he walked quickly through the slanting corridor. The eunuchs behind him could only trot and keep up with his pace.
Zhu Yunwen walked into the east warm pavilion of Ganqing Gate, walked around the partition, and sat down on a chair.
The palace maid brought the tea in immediately. Wu Zhong took the tea cup from the palace maid, held it in both hands to the emperor, and said in a flattering tone: The emperor is quick and smooth, the dragon body is important.
After taking the tea cup, Zhu Yunwen held it in his hand, gently slapped the water with the lid, smelling the fragrance of tea, and not saying a word for a long time.
After a while, Wu Zhong left the East Warehouse and came back, whispering: Report to the Emperor, Huangsi’s minister is ordered to meet him.
Ask him to come in and speak.Zhu Yunwen said.
Huang Zicheng immediately entered and performed a bow and bow.
Zhu Yunwen waved and gave up his gift.He pondered for a moment and said, Not long ago, Sheng Yong was defeated in Jiahe!Qi Tai and Xu Huizu both spoke for him, and said that they could not fight in a hurry in the battle of PingYan, so they still asked Sheng Yong for orders to increase reinforcements. What do you think Huang Siqing?
Unexpectedly, Huang Zicheng also said: If you return to the emperor, as far as I know, Sheng Yong cannot be blamed for the Battle of Jiahe.
Tiexun, Minister of War on the front line, confirmed that Sheng Yong fought with infantry in this battle. He first used shield soldiers and spears to defend the front of the enemy, but the Yàn army could not break; later he threw the javelin, and the Yàn army broke into Sheng Yong's marching formation.But Sheng Yong immediately used a small number of powerful cavalry teams to counterattack quickly, and then killed the enemy general Tan Yuan who broke into the formation!At first, our official army was very brave...
Huang Zicheng spoke with a gaze. If he hadn't known the result, Zhu Yunwen would have heard it even more passionately.
Huang Zicheng continued: At this time, Yàn Ni personally led the iron cavalry to the official army and attacked our army from both sides. Yàn Ni and the army ahead formed a force of two attacks!So Yàn came out against the formation, causing the official army to lose several powerful generals.However, under Sheng Yong's command, although he was penetrated, the entire army remained unmoved!Sheng Yong immediately transferred the power of the brave army to run into the formation and immediately withstood the impact of Yàn.
Then how did Sheng Yong fail?Zhu Yunwen asked.
Huang Zicheng said: At that time, the two armies were not sure of the victory, and because they were rushing into the formation with their arrows and firearms, our army still had a chance of winning... But suddenly a strong wind blew, and the flying sand and stones were facing our army. The soldiers could not open their eyes, and they were even defeated!
After hearing this, Zhu Yunwen said regretfully: Why is it just a little bit short?The king's army fought hard many times in Hebei, but he was always unable to break through!Was it defeated by the strong wind?This is a coincidence.
I heard... Zhu Yunwen pondered, Tie Xuan has a close relationship with you, and Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan had a bloody alliance last year.Is it because of this?
Huang Zicheng immediately knelt down on the ground. How dare he deceive the emperor and the emperor?This matter is absolutely selfless, and my words are reported based on the truth!
Forget it!Zhu Yunwen said, I also think you are talking about the truth.Then he asked Fang Xiaoru to draw an order, and issued an order to gather troops from all over the place, and after recruiting food and grass, he went north to reinforce Sheng Yong and other generals.
Huang Zicheng quietly exhaled and hurriedly said: The wise man!
At this moment, an eunuch bent over and walked in. Seeing Zhu Yunwen nodding, he walked to the upper position and bowed his head and whispered.
oh?Zhu Yunwen made a surprised voice and asked him to go straight to here to explain in detail.
The eunuch said: I will obey the order.
Huang Zicheng said carefully: That minister...
Zhu Yunwen reached out and pressed it down gently, and then Huang Siqing listened too.
Huang Zicheng immediately showed relief and said, "I will receive the order!"
The monarch and ministers waited in the East Nuan Pavilion for a long time, and a man in a green robe and a big hat bowed in. He knelt down outside the partition and said, "Long live."Zhu Yunwen immediately called him in.
Zhu Yunwen didn't even recognize the man.After all, the person who came was just a middle- and low-level general of the Jinyiwei, and he usually couldn't see the emperor.
You said you saw Prince Gaoxu, Prince of Gaoyang, Zhu Gaoxu, by the Qinhuai River?Zhu Yunwen asked directly.
The general nodded and said: Return to the priest, I saw it!Today, Weichen was ordered by the commander to come back from the city office worker and entered the city from Jubao Gate. Soon he saw him sitting in a carriage... Two years ago, the prince of the Taizu worship day, Prince Yàn and King Gaoyang arrived in the capital, and were later confined. Weichen was one of the people in charge of guarding his mansion. He had met King Gaoyang several times, so he recognized it.
Huang Zicheng frowned and said: King Yàn's son ran to the capital?You are really not dazzled, can you confirm this?You can’t speak nonsense in front of the saint, that is a serious crime of deceiving the monarch!
This... the general immediately felt fearful.
Zhu Yunwen asked: Can you be sure?
The general said with a sad face: Weichen could have confirmed that it was him, but... At that time, King Gaoyang was sitting in the carriage, wearing a big hat covering nearly half of his face.Although Weichen still thought it was him, he did not dare to alert the enemy at that time, so he did not follow him and take a closer look.
Weichen only went to Jubao Gate and showed the seal of Jinyiwei. He first asked the guards of Jubao Gate to stop the young and strong young man, so as not to escape from the city gate nearby. Weichen immediately rushed back to report.
Zhu Yunwen tapped his fingers gently on the table.At this moment, the eunuch Wu Zhong whispered: I am too polite, but no matter what the result is, it is okay for the emperor to check it out.
Zhu Yunwen nodded thoughtfully and said, immediately sending an order to ask the guards of each city, the Jinyiwei, and the Yingtian Prefecture to arrange personnel to investigate the whereabouts of King Gaoyang in the city!
Wu Zhong said: I will go to pass the imperial edict for the emperor.
The general who bent down and stood in the middle said: Eunuch Wu, King Gaoyang is tall and big, a little taller than ordinary people. As long as you catch those tall young men in the city and let those who know King Gaoyang identify them, you will definitely be able to make a comeback!
Wu Zhong turned to look at Zhu Yunwen, and Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly.
At this time, Huang Zicheng said again: Ask people to draw more images.
……
Zhu Gaoxu had given up the arrangement of meeting Xu Zengshou and Chen Xuan, and immediately gathered the staff from the three sentinels.
He told all three of them to get on the carriage and said: There are many people in the capital who know me; but you have almost never been to the capital, and no one knows you, and it is not easy to reveal your identity.
This place is closest to Jubao Gate in the inner city and Da'Ande Gate in the outer city. I will first go out from the nearby Jubao Gate.You will return to Jilong Mountain, take Miss Du with you, and then leave the city from Taiping Gate.After everyone left the city, we still met at the inn outside Jiangdong Gate!
The three of them answered one after another.
Zhu Gaoxu said: It’s not too late, let’s go separately.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu also felt that he was too alert, but being careful is not a bad thing. At worst, it is just a little more trouble.
He had to do something in his previous life, which was even more troublesome, so he formed the habit of not being afraid of trouble.
After making arrangements, Zhu Gaoxu drove a carriage alone, pressed his hat lower, and headed straight south to the treasure gate.
After he decided to flash his head, he felt a lot more relaxed, after all, this was the safest way to do it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Gaoxu approached the treasure gate, he suddenly saw some tall men standing inside the city gate, staring at by officers and soldiers wearing strong and sharp sterns, and officers and soldiers holding bows and arrows!
Damn it!What's going on?
Zhu Gaoxu immediately cursed in shock, and was very confused again.
Even if the big hat I ran into before was a secret spy from the court, it wouldn't have blocked the city gate so quickly, right?
Could it be that something happened to Li Jinglong or Xu Zengshou...
He didn't have to think too much, and immediately turned around the carriage and quickly left the Jubao Gate.
Zhu Gaoxu quickly crossed the Qinhuai River from the bridge. He didn't dare to go to Zhengyangmen in the east. There were many yamen there, which was even more dangerous.He had no choice but to drive the carriage and continue walking north.
King Yàn also has a mansion in the capital, but that place is the most dangerous now.
He didn't know where to go for a moment... Zhengyang Gate didn't dare to go. The other two city gates were water gates, and it was very strange that those who drove the car there were there.
While thinking about something wrong, Zhu Gaoxu rushed north along the road.
Before I knew it, I was not far from Taiping Gate.At this time, there seemed to be more and more official soldiers on the street. Zhu Gaoxu was almost caught several times. It seemed that Taiping Sect must be on guard and could not go out again!
He thought that only monk Qingyuan knew about the hiding mansion in Jilong Mountain. Maybe he could hide for the time being...it was mainly because it was too dangerous on the street right now!
After thinking about it, Zhu Gaoxu drove the carriage towards Jilong Mountain.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a group of officials wearing high-caps on the street riding a horse towards Zhu Gaoxu!Zhu Gaoxu was very nervous and hurriedly headed towards the road to Jilong Mountain.
He was very familiar with this road and soon arrived at the long street selling incense and candles.Just walk inside for a while and you can turn into the alley.
However, the situation was worse than he thought. After walking on Xiangzhu Street for a while, he saw several more officials coming towards him... These people were not stupid. They checked the people and deployed the routes in a well-organized manner, forcing Zhu Gaoxu to have sweat soaked in his forehead!
Do you want to capsize in the gutter?
Even though Zhu Gaoxu has martial arts skills, it is useless in the capital. Once he has conflicts with the official and makes noise, his whereabouts will be even smaller!
It is certain that everyone around the country will be blocked, and the court can capture him if he digs three feet into the ground.
...In a hurry, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered that when he went out in the morning, the incense and candle shop where the little nun was taking care of was on this street.
However, if she only meets one by one or by chance, will she take the risk of helping her?
This is really not easy!
The official at the foot of the mountain was riding a horse. After a slight delay, Zhu Gaoxu was about to be surrounded!He had no choice but to do anything, so he followed the rough location he passed by in the morning and rushed over.
Zhu Gaoxu turned around and looked at the shop next to him. After a while, he saw that the little Ni was still guarding the shop.The carriage was parked next to the shop, and Xiao Ni also raised his head and saw Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu got off from the front of the carriage and walked to the little nun.Xiao Ni frowned and looked at him sweating, and asked: What's the matter with donor?
Let me hide for a while, and there will be rewards in the future! No matter what you want, I promise you. Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice.
The little nun was so happy and decisive that she immediately replied: Come in first.
Thank you very much.Zhu Gaoxu was full of gratitude and hurriedly ran in.
He looked back and forth and found that there was only one room on the shop, with a simple bed and mosquito nets inside, and the surroundings were filled with incense and candles.
The little nun whispered: Above.
Zhu Gaoxu then looked up and saw a wooden ladder in the corner of the wall, and there was indeed a wooden partition above his head; there was only a hole in the place where the wooden ladder was built.
He hurriedly strode to the dimly lit corner of the wall, and climbed up the ladder with his hands and feet.This shop is a one-story tile house. Zhu Gaoxu climbed up the next building and felt very low, and he couldn't even straighten his waist while sitting.
Zhu Gaoxu felt indescribable to think that he was already a dignified prince and was so embarrassed.
This trip was so dangerous. He thought he was very careful, but he still fell into such a field...
Zhu Yunwen walked into the east warm pavilion of Ganqing Gate, walked around the partition, and sat down on a chair.
The palace maid brought the tea in immediately. Wu Zhong took the tea cup from the palace maid, held it in both hands to the emperor, and said in a flattering tone: The emperor is quick and smooth, the dragon body is important.
After taking the tea cup, Zhu Yunwen held it in his hand, gently slapped the water with the lid, smelling the fragrance of tea, and not saying a word for a long time.
