Chapter 153 The Emperor's grace is so great

The front hall of the Prince Yàn was busy, and then a eunuch came over.

His face is round and short, his cheekbones are high, and he is not good-looking, but almost no one in the house dares to underestimate him because he was Zheng He who blocked an arrow for the emperor during the Zhengcunba war!

Ji Gang and other soldiers of the Jinyiwei were all wearing lilac round-collar robes, square scarves, and dressed in an ordinary entourage.

Meet Eunuch Zheng.Ji Gang clasped his fists and said.

Zheng He also bowed his hand slightly to return the gift, walked past two rows of men, looking one after another.Ji Gang said: Eunuch Zheng, I have checked these people for the 18th generation of ancestors!And he is strong and has martial arts.

After hearing this, Zheng He said in a deep voice: The emperor has ascended the throne, and the rebellion has not yet ended. You must be cautious and cautious, so that the rebellion cannot take advantage of the opportunity!When the situation changes, you must be able to protect the emperor with the will of death and repay the emperor's kindness!

Ji Gang immediately said behind Zheng He: Have you all heard it?Eunuch Zheng has such a high position that he also blocked the emperor's arrow back then.

The emperor's grace is vast!Everyone said in unison.

Zheng He nodded with satisfaction.

Ji Gang said again: Ping'an is a powerful general. He endangered the emperor with a long spear several times in the battle. You must not relax later and must always keep an eye on his movements.

Hey... Zheng He said earnestly, "You can't say that." General Ping is now the emperor's member. The emperor has no edict, so you cannot slander it randomly.However, General Ji told you not to relax, it was also a matter of duty.

At this moment, a group of people came out of the inner gatehouse.

Zheng He turned his head and waved his hand: The emperor is here, brothers, come with our family.

First, a group of eunuchs and palace maids came out, and then Zhu Di's sedan chair came out surrounded by a group of military men and eunuchs wearing round necks.

Now the vigilance of the Yàn Palace is incomparable. Without the permission of Zhu Di and his confidant eunuchs, no one could approach the imperial guards; Zhu Di would not eat a drop of water or a piece of rice casually, and the food was prepared by a dedicated person.

Zhu Di was like this when he returned to the Yàn Palace because he said something to Zheng He.On the day he returned home, Zhu Di said: There are still many people in the world who hate me, and they are still living well.

Zheng He immediately discussed with Yao Guangxiao and others, and then deployed strict defenses in the Yàn Palace.

Under the front and back, Zhu Di entered the front hall.

Zheng He, with Ji Gang and other soldiers of the Jinyi Guard, stood on the left and right sides of the seat to protect him.

Zheng He also quietly asked someone to open the back door. Once something happened, he could ask the emperor to leave immediately.

Ping An is famous and has a murderous intention towards the emperor, so Zheng He is indeed very careful.

After waiting for a while, someone outside shouted: Safe view!

Then he saw the general Ping'an strode in, and Zheng He immediately looked at him.

Seeing that Ping An was very strong, this person might be shorter than the emperor, but his figure was very thick, his arms were thicker than ordinary people's thighs, and his belly was not as fat as those with wide body and fat as those with fat body, but he had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his whole body was full of flesh.

Ping An walked to the hall and knelt down and said, "Your sins will come to the Lord, and you will live forever!"

good!good!Zhu Di smiled and made a support move. He said kindly, Ping Baoer, get up.

Thank you Master!Ping An kowtowed again.

Zhu Di said: Ping Baoer and I fought against each other before, but I took it down. How many people want to kill you!But how can I bear to bear it?

Ping'an hurriedly said: Thank you for not killing.

Zhu Di said movedly: I watched Ping Baoer grow up. You followed me to fight outside the border in the early years. I have a father-son relationship with you!Zhu Di punched his fist in the chest and said with a bitter look on his face, but I feel so heartbroken when you treat me like this!

Ping An immediately bowed his head in shame and said: The sin will betray the Lord... and immediately knelt down on the ground to apologize.

Zhu Di said: Forget it, it’s all over.Fathers in the world will always forgive their sons for causing trouble, and I will not blame you!The official position of the commander of the capital of Peking is still empty. You happen to be in Peiping, so you will be the one who is dismissed.

Peace is finally grateful.There were eunuchs around him pretending to wipe their tears, as if they were moved by the emperor.

Zheng He, who was standing next to him, felt that Ping An would die faster than expected!

Zheng He has been by the emperor all the time. He knew that the emperor was not ready to kill Ping'an immediately and had to do it for him first.

I had already written a handwritten order to be the commander-in-chief of Peking, and I had just a matter of imperial edict.

But suddenly something happened to Qu Neng, and Qu Neng’s whereabouts are unclear.The emperor decided to summon Ping'an just temporarily. After saying such moving words, he just wanted to stabilize Ping'an?

If the emperor really trusts Ping An, why should he rush to summon him in a hurry?And why do you never get close to peace when you speak?

Zhu Di said kindly again: Your father gave you a good reputation, you can be a good official and make up for your merits, and I will still protect you from wealth.

Ping'an choked and said: I must repent and live up to the priest's kindness.

OK, OK.Zhu Di laughed loudly, "You guy wiped your tears, making people feel nervous."Let's go!

Ping An kowtowed and thanked him for his gratitude.

Zhu Di also stood up from the seat, walked back and forth in front of the seat, and suddenly stood still, turned to Zheng He and said: Zheng He, ask someone to tell Gao Xu, let him clean up, we are all going to the capital.

Zheng He bowed and said: I will obey the order.

Zheng He was a little puzzled when he walked out of the front hall.A few days ago, I remembered that the emperor read a sentence, as if he wanted King Gaoyang to go north from Peking to prepare for the border.It changed again today, meaning to go back to Beijing together.

A few days ago, Zheng He did not dare to reveal that news to Zhu Gaoxu... If Zhu Gaoxu heard the news, he would definitely be dissatisfied!

Now everyone is waiting to reward merits. It is not yet decided which of the two princes will be the crown prince. However, Zhu Gaoxu was taken to the north to pass. Can he be satisfied with such great contributions?

As soon as he was dissatisfied, he went to the Yàn Palace to make trouble. The person who disclosed the news could not hide it...

At this time, Zheng He speculated that Princess Xu might have said something to the emperor.

So Zheng He sent someone to Gaoyang County Prince's Mansion to pass the imperial edict.The eunuch reported that King Gaoyang was not surprised and was ready, waiting for the day to go to the team.

A few days later, the civil and military officials in Peking were ready, and more than 100,000 troops and countless family officials left Peiping one after another.

……

Qu Neng and the other three had already crossed Huguang and followed the river to the west, gradually entering the mountainous areas and many roads could no longer ride.

They walked for several days before they arrived at Wushan County. They did not dare to go to the county town, so they brought some dry food and continued to walk northward and into Wushan Mountain.

This place is full of mountains and steep and the roads are difficult to walk. They can only walk along the road in the valley, and they can hardly see the light of the sky when they look up.

The more people go, the less people are. Qu Neng can't help but worry and thought: It's really hard to find someone to hide in the mountains, but if you keep going, it's too far from the town, how can you get food supplies?

At this moment, two men and women came on the way, with dark and rough skin, and they looked like they were men who were working as coolies, but they were wearing coarse sermon robes and were very strange.

The middle-aged woman stepped forward to speak with a strong accent.Fortunately, Qu Neng has been the commander of Sichuan for a long time and can understand the dialects of many places in Sichuan.

The middle-aged woman claimed to be a Taoist priest and said that there was a ghost king temple nearby. The ghost king came out of the underworld and evil spirits were everywhere in the world.You have to sell talisman water when you come up. It can ward off evil spirits and ensure safety.

When Qu Neng governed the military and political affairs of Sichuan, he knew that there were activities of the White Lotus Sect prohibited by the imperial court in the mountains. It was obvious that these two people did not look like normal Taoists at all, but they looked like White Lotus Sects.

But he couldn't care so much now, so he bought talisman water for a few copper coins and sent them away.

Qu Neng didn't believe in the White Lotus Sect at all, so when the two Taoists left, he threw away the talisman water.Back then, he was in Sichuan and sent many troops to wipe out the White Lotus Sect. Today, he bumped into it himself and bought talisman water. It was ridiculous.

At night, the three of them found a small land temple, and made fires and made meals in the temple, and then spent the night.

They took turns to be on duty to watch. In the second half of the night, Qu Liangcai, who was on duty, suddenly shouted: The burden of pretending to be money is gone!

Qu Neng got up and saw a faint figure jumping away in the night.He immediately grabbed a piece of firewood and chased after him, but the figure had already run away. Qu Neng was unfamiliar with the terrain, so where could he catch up with it?

There is gold and silver given to him by Zhu Gaoxu in the bag!

Qu Liangcai said with a guilty look: My son was not careful and was sleepy for a while. Unexpectedly, there were thieves in this wilderness...

The three of them walked for a day and were really tired.

In the second half of the night, people are more likely to get sleepy. Qu Neng can’t blame his son too much and just said: Without money, it’s even harder for us to gain a foothold. We have to get things back!The two White Lotus Sects during the day are very suspicious.Tomorrow morning, we will go nearby to find out where the people from the White Lotus Sect are.

The next morning, Qu Nengxian went to explore the way along the direction of the thief running last night. The mountains on both sides were steep and it was impossible to climb up without a road.

So Qu Neng and others walked along the road. When they reached a fork in the roadside by the mountain, they stood there and looked back.

At this moment, a cloth towel among the shrubs and weeds on the hillside attracted Qu Neng's attention.

He then found a road up the mountain in the grass, so he picked up a dead branch and walked up carefully along the steep mountain road. He came to the front of the cloth towel. When he picked it up, he saw that it was relatively clean, which was their thing.

Those thieves are not smart people. They are in a mess and are soon found by Qu Neng.

Come up!Go here!Qu Neng turned around and called out.

Any hillside in this Wushan mountain area is very high. The three of them walked for a long time and were still halfway up the mountain.

At this moment, they turned to the other side of the hillside, and a temple hanging on the cliff appeared in front of them.

It's very strange to hang in the air!

Ghost King Temple?Qu Liangcai blurted out, "Does my father remember the words of the two Taoist priests yesterday?"

The eunuch Wang Gui suddenly felt fearful.

snort!Qu Neng made a voice, his face remained unchanged, and he sneered, "I'm killing people in the battle formation, I don't know who the Ghost King is!"

So Qu Neng took the lead and continued to walk towards the hanging mountain temple.
