On the official road outside the Qujing Military and Civilian Mansion, pedestrians left the road one after another to watch. The long queue of troops occupied the official road, and the neat footsteps with different rhythms from far and near echoed the sound of the hooves of horses running on the side of the road, one after another; Countless wide-brimmed iron helmets faintly glowed in the sunlight, swaying everywhere, and the battle was very large.

The official road passes outside the city gates. Many soldiers of the military and civilian government on the city wall were also watching, and saw that the men and horses on the road had come to the city gate.

The helmets and clothes of the Ming army were almost the same, and the sergeants alone could not tell where they were. However, the banners of this group of people and horses were written with the words "Ma", "Ming", and "Yuezhou Wei Command", and the officials on the city wall had already seen that they were the military households of Yuezhou Wei.

There are 5,600 military households in Yuezhou, and looking at this battle, I am afraid that all the regular troops in Yuezhou have been mobilized.

A general shouted at the head of the city: "Who are you waiting for?" ”

After a while, where the banners were dense, several horsemen rushed to the front, and a big man raised his head and said: "We are the guards and horses of Yuezhou, and we have been ordered by the Han Wangfu to go to Yunnan Mansion!" ”

The general said: "Why is there no newspaper from the palace, but there is an official document from the capital?" ”

Dahan said: "Who are you?" If you want to check the official documents, first open the door and go down to the city, report the name of the official position, and take the seal letter to see. ”

After a while, a group of men came out of the city gates.

The general who shouted just now is the military and civilian commander of Qujing, and this military and civilian commander has relatively great power, and he has the right to intervene in the affairs of thousands of people who have passed through his territory. The general stopped the troops of Yuezhou Wei and showed each other official documents and seals.

The big man who led the Yuezhou Wei was called Ma Peng, a middle-aged man. Ma Peng has the seal of the commander of the Wei and the order of the governor of the Han Dynasty, but he lacks the most important thing: the official document of the Yunnan Command Envoy.

According to the rules, Yunnan is different from the mainland, and the ordinary deployment of troops does not require the military order of the imperial army. However, it must be ordered jointly by the Han Prince's Mansion, the Mu Mansion, and the Commander's Envoy, and then written to the imperial court.

General Qu Jing and Ma Peng looked at each other, knowing each other's current situation. At this time, the soldiers beside Ma Peng had already put their hands on the hilt of the knife.

The sun was dazzling overhead, and the faces of several men were black and shiny. General Qu Jing didn't move, his eyes looked past Ma Peng, and said to the generals and civil officials behind him: "What you did violated the law, do you know it?" ”

The crowd was silent. There was a eunuch in the crowd, and he said sharply: "The commander is in charge of the envoys, and the commander of the horse is in charge of you." Commander Ma is not afraid of small shoes, what are you afraid of? Who is not convinced to find the king of Han to say! ”

A military general beside Ma Peng said: "Back then, someone in the court impeached Shunchangbo Wang Zuo, and the King of Han was fine with a word." With the support of King Han, I'm afraid of a bird! ”

At this time, Ma Peng stared at General Qu Jing's face: "What? ”

General Qu Jing patted his horse and got out of the way and said, "This matter will have to be reported to the capital!" ”

At this moment, a horse rushed out of the city gate, rushed to the side of General Qujing, and said in a deep voice: "Letter from Mufu......

General Qu Jing took the things and slapped the horse into the city.

Not long after, someone in the city came out to see Ma Peng, saying that he had prepared some grain and grass for the Yuezhou guards, and asked them to send someone to sign and take him away.

…… When Yue Zhouwei arrived in Kunming City, he seemed to inject a trace of vitality into this pool of stagnant water that had been silent for many days. As usual, there seemed to be signs of a different situation.

In the yamen of the commander's envoy, the officials who kept their mouths shut every day and did their duty were also active at this time, and there were many discussions everywhere.

The number of officials in the Yunnan Metropolitan Command Department is also slightly different from that in the mainland, and there are as many as five people in Tongzhi, Wang Wei, Fang Jing, Wang Zheng, Liu Jian, and Wang Jun all appointed to Yunnan around the first year of Yongle; and Cao Long, the commander of the left capital, also came before and after, and the difference was only a few months. At this time, several fellow intellectuals surrounded Cao Long, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

Fang Jing muttered dissatisfiedly: "Don't say hello, what are we doing here?" ”

This sentence made the surrounding officials look empathetic. Mobilizing a guard and horses is not a big deal in the complicated military affairs of Yunnan, but such a rude and unreasonable way makes the entire capital very unhappy...... It seems that more than half of the power has been cut off all of a sudden, what is the value of a yamen without power?

Someone asked, "What if something happened?" Why don't you go to the Han Wang's Mansion and let the Han King give a word? ”

Fang Jing said: "The order was issued by the King of Han, what is the use of asking the King of Han?" ”

The man asked, "How is that good?" ”

Fang Jing said: "Immediately write a chapter to the imperial court, and send it out of Yunnan for 800 miles!" ”

"Slow!" Cao Long suddenly spoke.

Several people looked sideways at him.

Suddenly, Cao Long seemed to hear the sound of silk and bamboo, and he hurriedly reviewed the old lobby roof and surroundings, but the music was no longer audible. The people next to him also looked at his strange demeanor curiously, and they all fell silent, leaving only distant human voices and indistinguishable subtle noises in the air.

Cao Long thought hard for a long time, and finally captured the source of the "voice of silk and bamboo" in his heart. A few years ago, the commander of the envoy Si Yamen was besieged by the guards of the King of Han, didn't he find a lot of singers to sing and dance? The guys were stuck here for days.

The king of Han guarded Yunnan, led troops to fight many times, and supervised the affairs of the three divisions of Yunnan; Cao Long was the commander of the capital, and he had more dealings with the Han king than any other official...... After a few years, he felt that King Han was not an unruly person.

Yuezhou Wei's matter, I'm afraid it's not that simple!

Cao Long had to think more, and thought about the death of the first emperor and the ascension of the crown prince. The complicated relationship between the things made Cao Long's brows wrinkle together.

He paced to the door, looking at the blue and white sky as if looking for a harbinger of clouds.

At this time, Tongzhi Fang Jing's voice said: "The lower official immediately wrote a chapter, who wants to sign it jointly?" ”

Cao Long turned around and said, "Brother Fang, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Fang Jingzheng said: "This matter is so simple in front of you, what is there to hesitate about!" The guards of Yunnan are all soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and the Han Wangfu has nothing to do, let alone passed through the capital, so they can only mobilize so many soldiers and horses without authorization? How can we sit idly by! ”

Cao Long hugged his fists and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and they know it at their own convenience." ”

Fang Jing asked a few other people, but everyone was silent, and finally someone said: "Cao Du makes this Yatang Zun, and we will respect Cao Du to make it will." The rest of the people seconded it.

Fang Jing flicked his sleeves and went to the study.

At this time, Hu Tong, the commander of the right capital, walked into the lobby, and he said that he had just heard about Yuezhou Wei and came to ask Cao Long's meaning. Cao Long said noncommittally: "Now I don't know about it, I want to wait and talk." ”

Hu Tong was the commander of the left capital of Yunnan during the Jianwen period, and was deposed after the "Battle of Jingjing". After a year, he was lifted up again. Cao Long and Hu Tong are both commanders, but they are not the same kind of people, and they do not have deep contacts with each other.

"I'll figure it out in a few days, so it's good to wait." Hu Tong echoed solemnly.

…… The official position of Shunchang Bo Wang Zuo is the deputy general of Mufu, and he has a luxurious mansion in Kunming City. Yue Zhouwei's matter is so big, of course he knows about it.

Although Wang Zuo is only the deputy general of Mu Mansion, he is much more powerful than other generals in Mu Mansion. All the civil and military forces who have a relationship with Mu Mansion have to buy his account, and they don't dare to offend him at all.

Moreover, this person is also friendly with the Han Palace, and often goes in and out of the Han Palace. In the early years of Yongle, the princess of Han was ill, and Wang Zuo collected expensive medicinal materials everywhere and worshiped the Han palace for a long time.

So Wang Zuo skillfully occupied a large number of military fields in Kunming, Dali and other places, and collected a lot of goods.

In the third year of Yongle, Chen Ying heard about Wang Zuo's violation of the law and immediately wrote a letter to impeach him for violating the law. Wang Zuo hurriedly looked for the King of Han, and the King of Han said good things to Wang Zuo in front of the imperial history who came down to verify. At the same time, he secretly ordered Wang Zuo to spit out the engulfed military field! Forget about the goods.

Wang Zuo was a little dissatisfied with this matter, because whether he spit out Juntian or not did not affect the conclusion of whether he was guilty or not.

But what happened before didn't matter anymore, and he was now worrying about what was in front of him.

Now there are dozens of concubines in Wang Zuo's mansion, some of whom he can't even remember by name, and he lives a very comfortable life every day. But he also knew in his heart that the reason why he could afford to support so many people in the mansion and the earl's money was obviously not enough, after all, it was because the imperial court needed him to spy on Mu Sheng in the past and connived at him to get some undeserved benefits!

But now that the emperor has died, the situation has become turbulent and ambiguous from the imperial court to Yunnan. Wang Zuo was very irritable all day long.

If the new rulers in the court do not need him, or forget him...... There is no need to move inward, a group of Mufu Dangyu in Yunnan, who are yin and yang, and who are flattering on the surface and hiding knives inside, will definitely find a way to kill him!

Wang Zuo sorted out a little clarity from the mess of his mind, and said in his heart: Now the person the new monarch wants to monitor is probably not Mu Mansion, but Han Wangfu.

But the Han Wangfu is also a mystery, whether the Han King is against it or not?! If it is the other way around, how long will it take to be pacified?

Wang Zuo was also very afraid of the King of Han in his heart, but he felt that the unauthorized transfer of Yuezhou Wei was an opportunity for him to show his face in front of the new monarch of the imperial court.

After weighing it, Wang Zuo walked into the study, locked himself in it alone, and began to write a piece of music while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

After writing the chapter, Wang Zuo sealed the chapter, summoned the confidants of the house, and advised: "Change your clothes, don't go to the post station to change horses in Yunnan, and don't show this thing." Out of Yunnan, as soon as he arrived in Guizhou, he immediately galloped eight hundred miles to Beijing. Don't send it to the political envoy department, find Jin Zhong, the secretary of the military department! ”

The general agreed, and left the study with the recital.

When the recital was gone, Wang Zuo was as tired as if he had just taken the third daughter, and he collapsed on the chair, wiping his sweat and gasping for a long breath. He could hear the sound of drums pounding in his chest, and his eyelids jumped up at some point, and he couldn't hold it down.
