Chapter 857: Delaying time, the three kings ask to see

From ancient times to the present, those who are in the top position must follow the destiny of heaven, so the emperors of the past dynasties always have some indescribable halos. As far as the Han Gaozu beheaded the White Snake Uprising, Wu Zetian Maitreya Buddha was reincarnated, and as close as Zhu Dimeng Taizu gave Yugui and Zhu Zhanji was born, countless others. But there are still people who believe in the auspicious saying and don't think so, but the saying of the disaster is not. The words in the history books are conclusive, for the sake of a sentence of the heroine Wuwang in the world, Tang Taizong killed Li Junxian; A sentence of inspection is the Son of Heaven, Chai Rong exempted Zhang Yongde; Although it is unknown what happened to him, it is a sign that can cause a great shock.

The flagpole that suddenly collapsed in the snow and ice was guarded by many sergeants as early as yesterday. At this moment, Zhang Fuzai carefully inspected the flagpole, and stretched out his hand to touch the broken point, and then turned his head to look at Jin Youzi and Du Zhen next to him.

"After the craftsman inspected it, he said that it should not be a natural fracture, what do the two scholars think?"

Among several cabinet scholars, Jin Youzi's health is the worst, and after all, he is over sixty years old, even if he has been accustomed to the cold weather in the north over the years, Daning is colder than the capital, and he uses more black coal than white charcoal for heating on weekdays, and he is smoked by that kind of smoke and fire every day, and he stood in the wind for a while, although he was wearing extremely thick clothes, he couldn't stand it. Only at this moment, he couldn't care about the cold, and he couldn't stomp his feet, so he could only fold his hands and frown.

"Since someone deliberately touched it, let's investigate it thoroughly, didn't the emperor also move his liver fire yesterday?"

"The news of the broken flagpole will inevitably spread throughout the whole city of Daning, and the important thing is that someone takes the opportunity to spread the news. It must be known that the great leaders of the Duoyan Sanwei are still in the city and have not yet set off, so beware of anyone trying to make a fuss with their power. ”

Du Zhen deliberately went around Duoyan Sanwei's camp before he came, and at this time, he woke up as soon as he opened his mouth, and then said: "Sanwei didn't bring many people into the city this time, and there are only five hundred people in Daning City, but there will always be a large army outside the city." If this is really intentional, it is likely that they will be next. By the way, a day has passed from yesterday to today, and there is no result? ”

Since Zhang Fu asked so just now, he naturally had a judgment in his heart, and at this time, seeing that Jin Youzi also showed an inquiring look at him, he shook his head, folded his hands and thought about it, and then said: "There are people patrolling around this flagpole, and the sergeants who patrolled during the day swore that no one had ever approached, and it snowed again the night before yesterday, so there was no progress for the time being." In this way, the two scholars went to see the emperor, and the Marquis of Yangwu and I led the guards to continue the inspection, and then went to meet the chief of the three guards. The people accompanying him this time are loyal and brave people, as long as the overall situation is suppressed, a small group of people will not be able to make much waves! ”

In the past, when Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, guarded Daning, it was once an important town for border transactions between the Ming Dynasty and the Wuliang Ha Sanwei. Every year, horses, cattle and sheep from Duoyan Sanwei and various other felt wool specialties are piled up in exchange for all kinds of much-needed goods. Because Zhu Quan was also quite strategic, Daning at that time was naturally quite wealthy. Now that Xue Lu, the Marquis of Yangwu, is guarding here, and Daning has not opened a mutual market before, this is naturally a first-class bitter place, so he has long thought of transferring back.

But he never expected that such a thing would happen when the emperor was leaving!

A few steps behind Zhang Fu, he rode a horse, inspected a few places, and when he came out of a barracks, he suddenly shook the reins and sped up two steps to catch up with Zhang Fu, and asked: "British Duke, I have been guarding here for several years, although the soldiers below can't say that they are like fingers, but they also understand a little, after all, they all want to live a peaceful life." Could it be just a coincidence this time? The flagpole has been used for several years, so it may not be someone who did it, maybe the person who checked it thought too much and saw it wrong? Besides, the emperor is about to return to Beijing, and suddenly the city is under martial law, but I am afraid that it will be easier for people to murmur in their hearts. ”

Zhang Fu suddenly reined in the horse, turned his head to look at Xue Lu, saw that he was serious, and knew that this person who had always been straightforward and not scheming, and suddenly groaned. After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "I have already let a general see that he has worked as a carpenter in his family, and he also said that someone did it. Master Du is right, whether it is a coincidence or not, this high flagpole can never be hidden, in case someone instigates the Wuliang Ha Sanwei or other troops in the city, that is the most important thing. ”

Hearing this, Xue Lu couldn't help but be stunned, and then suddenly realized: "It will take at least half a month to return to Beijing from Daning, and many days in this half month are sleeping in the wilderness, among which the first few days are in the area of the Kuanhe River in Huizhou, next to Mongolia, if there is a slight instability in the army, there will be a big mess!" In this case, Wuliang Ha Sanwei will ask the British Duke over there, and I will go to rectify Daning Sanwei! It's better to hit the road a few days later than to make a mess on the road! ”

Seeing that Xue Lu nodded and beckoned the guards to go in the other direction, Zhang Fu led the horse and stood up, with a somewhat solemn expression on his face. A few days late, he will not be able to catch up with his father's death day on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, but filial piety is not on these, for the sake of the court's major events, his father will not be blamed if he has a spirit in the sky. But why did he always feel a little uneasy?

After thinking about it, Zhang Fu thought about all the aspects that he could think of, and in the end there were only two words that jumped into his mind - Jingshi. Originally, it was scheduled to leave for Beijing in two days, but if it was delayed like this, it would be a bad thing to say on five, six, seven, or eight days. However, there is the Empress Dowager in Beijing, Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu in the text, Zhu Yong and other nobles in the martial arts, and Zhang Yue is also kept, what will happen?

When he arrived at the residence of the leader of the three guards of Uliangha, he heard a burst of laughter from inside. Someone was sent in, and the three great chiefs over there went out together. After seeing each other, the leader of Duoyanwei, Hara Hasun, smiled and said: "The British Duke came just in time, we are celebrating the Laba Festival according to the customs of the Central Plains, and you also come to drink a bowl of Buddha porridge?" ”

Laba Festival? Is Laba today?

Zhang Fu was stunned at first, but he didn't take it to heart, but looked at Hara Hasun thoughtfully for a while. I already knew that this great leader of Duoyanwei, who had the same name as a certain Yuan Dynasty, admired the Celestial Dynasty, but even celebrated the festival of the Han people, and pulled in the other two big leaders, which was a little strange. It's just that he didn't mind having a good time with these three people, so he nodded and followed them into the house.

Jingshi, Dong'anmen.

The noon gate leads directly to the Chengtianmen Daming Gate and the Qipan Street Four Pai Lou Square in front, the Xi'an Gate is the West Garden, and the eunuchs buy and so on weekdays from here, and the Dong'an Gate is directly connected to the Ten Princes' Mansion, since the Yongle eighteenth year was built, most of the princesses are in and out of the clan - naturally, you have to add the special case of Zhu Ning, the lord of Chenliu County. Since they are all clans with kinship, the guards on duty here are naturally extra cautious, after all, all those who can come here are masters who can't be provoked.

At this moment, in the face of the elephant cart parked in front of Dong'an Gate, several guards did not stop it, and they were so anxious that they were sweating profusely. The reason is very simple, there is only one car, but there are three people, namely King Zheng, King Yue and King Xiang. The three of them came by in King Zheng's elephant, and the guards guarding the gate were all stunned when they saw the people getting out of the car.

Among them, King Zheng is the emperor's half-brother, because he is old, he is quite trusted, and King Xiang of Yue is the emperor's half-brother. The eldest King Zheng is already twenty-three years old, and the youngest King Xiang is also twenty-one years old. Therefore, today they came specially and waited in front of the door to leave down the clear words, last night in Beijing was restless all night, they came only to meet the queen mother, by the way to visit the crown prince.

Seeing that the three of them had no intention of breaking in, the guards immediately sent someone to the palace to report the news, but this came and went for a long time, and it was a cold day, and the three golden princes were waiting in front of Dong'an Gate and gradually became impatient. Just when King Yue stomped his feet angrily, flicked his sleeves and said angrily that he should not stop himself from doing his filial piety, a group of people finally came out of Dong'anmen.

"It's all the people below who are ignorant, and they let the three highnesses wait here on this cold day!"

Seeing that it was Fan Hong, Jin Ying and Lu Feng who came out together, King Zheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, still holding his hands that were already cold and stiff in his wide sleeves, and then said with a smile: "Yo, what kind of wind blew all the three of you celebrants?" We are just powerless relatives, and if we want to visit our mother and the prince's nephew, we will be stopped outside. Why, is this trying to stop us from entering? ”

When King Zheng opened his mouth, King Yue followed and sneered: "What the second brother said is that in normal times, we live in a simple place, and when we enter the palace, I am afraid that the three fathers-in-law will think we are troublesome!" ”

Seeing that the two brothers sneered and sneered, and the three ceremonial supervisors on the opposite side were so embarrassed that their faces were flushed after they saluted, and King Xiang had to cough lightly: "But what did the queen mother say?" ”

Among the three people of Fan Hong, Jin Ying and Lu Feng, the first two naturally knew what was going on, and there would be no clues on their faces at this time, but they were all thinking about asking the other party to answer. And Lu Feng happened to be in a hurry to go out of the palace to run errands, but he ate such a meal with them on the same road, so he was naturally very unhappy, but two bosses who were one level higher than him were in front, and he simply pretended to be dumb. So, the three of you looked at me, and they froze there all at once. At this moment, King Yue suddenly became angry.

"What, you're still going to leave us waiting here?"

Seeing this scene, Lu Feng hurriedly showed a smile: "Where is this, how dare Gonggong Fan and Gonggong Jin dare to wait here with the three highnesses?" The small ones still have to rush to Dongchang immediately, and they have to go to the five mansions and the six yamen to fight with a few adults, and since the two fathers-in-law are here, they naturally want to accompany the three highnesses. ”

Smiled and saluted the three princes again, and when he saw that the king of Yue waved his hand impatiently at him, he took the two stewards and eunuchs of Dongchang on the horse, and walked away with a whip. When he entered Dongchang Hutong, he smiled gloomily. Accompany these three lords who can't stop and can't stop, let those two eight-sided exquisite celebrants and eunuchs have a headache, if he can make any mistakes because of this, he can also breathe a sigh of relief when he is in a hurry.

"Godfather......

"Don't fucking cry with a sad face, what's going on? There are so many people on the grange, and they have been brought back for trial for a long time, but they can't be tried at all? ”

"Those people couldn't stand it, so they almost recruited all the big things about Guo Cong, but there were no clues. However, it was also found that two people were inexplicably missing on the Grange, and now an order has been issued to track it down, but it will be ...... for a while"

Smack-

With this loud sound, Lu Feng, who was full of anxiety, withdrew his slap, and viciously looked at the bright red slap marks on the face of the middle-aged eunuch who stayed in charge of the Waidong Factory, pointed at his nose and scolded: "No matter what reason you have, all in all, let's die!" There are so many people in Dongchang and Jinyiwei, if the news doesn't leak out this time, will you or who will bear the big thing? Lao Mu! ”

With a wave of his hand, Mu Ning was called over, and he commanded again: "You, the person in charge of the punishment of a thousand households, will keep a close eye on me this time, in the past, the case was limited to three days, but now it is a limit of one day, if you can't find any important clues in one day, from top to bottom, twenty canes!" It's better to be beaten with a stick right now than to be killed by the Empress Dowager's anger! ”

Although Mu Ning was not picked up by Lu Feng himself, he was the first cronie to take refuge, and his trust was especially above several internal officials, so although he heard this, everyone was either pale or drooped his head, but no one dared to say a word of resistance, even a certain godson who was slapped at first. Seeing Mu Ning's full of promises, Lu Feng was impatient to stay in this yamen, so he picked a few capable people to follow and walked to the other end of the alley.

When he was speeding through Andingmen Street, he deliberately looked in front of Dong'an Gate through the alley, and saw that there was only an elephant parked there, and he knew that the three Chitose Lords must have entered the palace, so he sneered in his heart, and then went straight to the military headquarters.

Because Dongchang's eyeliner reported to him that Fan Hong only waited in the front hall and did not enter the door when he came here to look for people yesterday, although Lu Feng hated Fan Hong for only knowing how to do these superficial articles, but he refused to be talked about, so he also let people go in to report, and he only waited in the front hall. So, he sent a bowl of laba porridge in a playful way, and at this time he seemed to be better than anything else. When Zhang Yue came in, he didn't raise his head, and drank the big bowl in one go.

"Finally relieved me, you, the person from the Yamen of the Ministry of War, are the most eye-catching and the best at living!"

Putting down the bowl, Lu Feng saw that Zhang Yue had sent the soap back, so he stood up and said with his hands on his sleeve, "Lord Zhang, our family came here today to thank you, if it weren't for your people's extra heart, there would be a big mistake this time." For this reason, there are so many people in Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and even our family will inevitably remember your love forever. ”
