Chapter 610: Forced Coercion

But it turned out that it was the Zhu member who shouted loudly that he was wronged.

Seeing this situation, Wang Shouren couldn't help but look at Zhu Yuanwai with a face like frost.

At this time, Wu Qi was embarrassed, originally this Zhu Yuanwai and Venerable and other thieves were not caught by themselves, and now he was under his own care, and they were shouted wronged by them on the streets of Nanjing City, which was a little embarrassing!

"Shut up!" Wu Qi's face was full of anger, and he waved his whip and whipped him, trying to make him stop shouting.

"Phew!" Zhu Yuanwai was pumped, gasped, and his shouting stopped abruptly.

However, when the Venerable and other thieves next to him saw Zhu Yuanwai shouting injustice, although they didn't know why, they didn't let go of this opportunity, and they continued to shout, "Wronged! ”

For a while, the street was filled with shouts of grievances, and passers-by looked at this side, pointing and muttering.

The sergeants rushed up in an instant and sealed the thieves' mouths with rags.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Wang Shouren let out a sigh of relief, turned to Xu Kuibi and said, "Let Brother Xu smile, Wang will say goodbye!" ”

After speaking, Wang Shouren waved his hand, and he waited to lead everyone away.

"Wait!" Xu Kuibi raised his hand to stop him.

Everyone was stunned and looked at Xu Kuibi puzzled, what is this little grandfather going to do?

"What else is the matter with Brother Wang?" Wang Shouren looked at Xu Kuibi puzzled.

"Brother Wang, forgive me, Xu heard it right, someone is shouting injustice!" Xu Kuibi pointed at Zhu Yuanwai and other thieves.

"Hmm!" Wang Shouren nodded, looked at Zhu Yuanwai, and said to Xu Kuibi, "Yes, when these thieves saw Brother Xu, they had illusions, shouted injustice, and tried to confuse the public, which made Brother Xu laugh!" ”

"That's what Brother Wang is wrong!" Xu Kuibi's face sank.

"Huh!" Wang Shouren frowned and looked at Xu Kuibi, "What do you mean by Brother Xu?" ”

"Those of us who are courtiers must redress the grievances of the people, so as to make the sky of the Ming Dynasty clear and flawless, now, Xu heard that someone was shouting grievances, how could he sit idly by! Besides, my father is the governor of the five armies in Nanjing, and Xu has an unshirkable responsibility and must ask! Xu Kuibi said with a righteous face.

"If I'm not mistaken, Brother Xu means to ask about this?"

"Not bad!" Xu Kuibi nodded in response.

"I have already made it clear to Brother Xu just now, these thieves are thieves who ambushed us and others, and I am going to escort them to the Nanjing Military Department this time, I wonder if Brother Xu has heard clearly?"

"Xu heard it, but Xu can't listen to your words, besides, these people have already shouted injustice, so Xu can't pretend not to hear it!" Xu Kuibi's face was straight and he said.

"Didn't Brother Xu hear that? Wang is going to take them to the Ministry of War, if they are wronged, and the head of the Ministry of War is in charge for them, why should Brother Xu ask! If Brother Xu is really not at ease, you can wait with me to the military headquarters to listen to it to confirm whether they have been wronged? Wang Shouren said patiently.

"Brother Wang's words are wrong, the matter of thieves around Nanjing, our Chinese military governor's mansion garrisons Nanjing, it is our duty to take them to the governor's mansion, what is the matter with going to the military department! Therefore, Xu suggested, you should go to the Governor's Mansion with me! ”

"Brother Xu said this, it is indeed difficult for some strong people! To tell the truth, this time Wang led the troops to Nanjing, so these thieves actually attacked my Ming army, and it is the right thing to go to the military department to accept punishment! Forgive Wang for having official business, so he will leave! Wang Shouren saw that he was entangled with this Xu Kuibi, so he didn't say much, and waved his hand directly, and was about to go to the military headquarters.

And Wu Qi and the others obeyed the order, and they were about to set off when they escorted the thief.

"Someone! Stop me! When Xu Kuibi saw this, his face changed dramatically in an instant, and he shouted loudly.

But I saw countless families rushing out of the surrounding streets in an instant, surrounding Wang Shouren and them.

"Brother Xu, are you going to besiege the imperial court officials?" Wang Shouren's face sank, and he asked Xu Kuibi.

"Don't dare!" Xu Kuibi saw that the people had been surrounded, so he smiled for a while, "I also ask Brother Wang and me to go to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army." ”

"Brother Xu, do you know what you're doing?" Wang Shouren looked at Xu Kuibi with a cold light on his face and said in a deep voice.

"Of course I know, Xu just wants to avenge the people's grievances!" Xu Kuibi said with a smile.

"Brother Xu, Wang has a holy decree, don't make a mistake!"

"With a holy decree?" Xu Kuibi's face froze and looked at Wang Shouren.

"Yes, Wang has a holy destiny and wants to go to Yunnan for disaster relief, don't miss the big event of the saint!"

Xu Kuibi's complexion changed, blue and purple for a while, and he was weighing the severity in his heart.

Wang Shouren was not in a hurry, just looked at him and waited for his decision.

The Venerable and the others looked at Xu Kuibi, and then turned their eyes to Zhu Yuanwai, their eyes were full of anxiety, and the meaning of the inquiry was extremely clear.

Zhu Yuanwai glanced at them and nodded.

His Holiness's face softened instantly.

At this time, a family member dressed as a housekeeper next to Xu Kuibi stepped forward and whispered a few times in Xu Kuibi's ear.

Xu Kuibi glanced at the housekeeper, his face was a little calm, and he looked up at Wang Shouren.

"Brother Wang, I forgive Xu for not knowing that you have a holy order, and I hope to forgive me!"

"It's okay, since Brother Xu knows, please give way, Wang is still in a hurry to go to the military department."

"It can't!" Xu Kuibi shook his head slowly.

"You?" Wang Shouren was angry, isn't this playing with himself? Outrageous!

"Brother Wang is full of poetry and books, don't you hear that the Son of Heaven has broken the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people, since Xu knows that there is a grievance, how can he sit idly by! Although Brother Wang has a holy order, if the Holy Lord knows about this, I believe he can understand Xu's painstaking efforts! Please also ask Brother Wang to come with me! Xu Kuibi said toughly.

Wang Shouren frowned and looked at Xu Kuibi.

Wu Qi stepped forward and said in Wang Shouren's ear, "My lord, the hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, let's go with him!" I believe that Grandpa Xu will deal with it! ”

Wang Shouren turned his head to look at him, and then looked at his own people, alas, people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads! I only brought more than ten people to escort the thieves this time, if I really did it, I really couldn't beat it, then I would lose my dignity! Let's go for it!

"It's okay, this official will go to the Governor's Mansion with the little grandfather! Lead the way! Wang Shouren looked up at Xu Kuihuan and said.

"That's right! Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, as long as you go to the Governor's Mansion and ask about this matter, the matter will be over! At that time, if Xu is wrong, he will make amends to Brother Wang! When Xu Kuibi heard this, he smiled all over his face.

"Brother Xu, don't say much, please lead the way!" Wang Shouren looked solemn and stretched out his hand.

Xu Kuibi saw that Wang Shouren had a dark face, and didn't say anything anymore, with a wave of his hand, the family members got out of the way, guarded left and right, and stared at Wang Shouren and the others, obviously, they were afraid that Wang Shouren and the others would run away.

"Brother Wang, please!" Xu Kuibi turned over on a horse next to him and stretched out his hand to please.

"Hmm!" Wang Shouren replied in a nasal voice, urging the horse forward.

The group went straight to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army.

Wang Shouren and the others entered the city of Nanjing from the north, but the six departments of Nanjing and the governor's mansion of the five armies were all on the east and west sides of the south of the imperial city, so it was inevitable that they had to go around the imperial city to the southern city.

Including Wu Qi, everyone has never been to Nanjing, and they are extremely curious about this imperial city.

The Imperial City of Nanjing, also known as the Forbidden City, was the imperial palace of Yingtianfu (Nanjing) in Kyoto of the Ming Dynasty. The construction lasted more than 20 years and covers an area of more than 1,012,500 square meters.

The Imperial City of Nanjing was built in the twenty-sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1366), and the twenty-fifth year of the Ming Dynasty (1392) was basically completed, and its site was selected in the northeast outside the city of Yuanjiqing, and the three mountains were moved to fill the Yanque Lake and built. The Ming Imperial Palace is the imperial palace of the three dynasties (Hongwu Dynasty, Jianwen Dynasty and Yongle Dynasty) in the early Ming Dynasty, which lasted for 54 years. Until the nineteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1421), Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, moved the capital to Beijing, and Nanjing set up Nanzhili, which was still garrisoned by the imperial family and important ministers, and its status was very important.

Nanjing Imperial City sits north to south, the general range is Zhongshan Gate in the east, Xi'an Gate in the west, Houzai Gate in the north, Ruijin Road in the south, there are four gates, the south is the Noon Gate, the east is the Donghua Gate, the west is the Xihua Gate, and the north is the Xuanwu Gate. Enter the noon gate for Fengtian, inside is the main hall Fengtian Palace, the front of the hall is the Wen Building, the Wu Building. After the canopy hall, the body hall. The inner court has the Qianqing Palace and the Kunning Palace, as well as the East and West Six Palaces.

Looking at it from afar, the city wall of the imperial city is magnificent, splendid, magnificent, and the glazed tiles on the city wall are brilliant and beautiful, and everyone is dizzy and amazed very much.

Everyone's pace couldn't help but slow down, and Xu Kuibi didn't urge, just looked at everyone quietly, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes unconsciously, what a group of hillbillies!

"Brother Wang, you haven't been to Nanjing, have you?" Although Xu Kuibi was disdainful in his heart, he never snubbed Wang Shouren, after all, he was also Lord Qincha!

"Wang has never been here, but today I know that the company is so magnificent!" Wang Shouren looked at the majestic imperial city and unconsciously admired.

"Then I'll introduce Brother Wang!" Xu Kuibi smiled smugly and introduced Wang Shouren.

Nanjing Imperial City west to Zhuqiao, east of Yixian Bridge, south to Guanghua Gate, north to Foxin Bridge. It is 2.5 kilometers long from north to south, 2 miles wide from east to west, and 9 kilometers in circumference. There are six gates in the imperial city: Hongwu Gate is due south, and it is facing the Zhengyang Gate of the capital city (now Guanghua Gate); The southeast is the left gate of Chang'an, and the outside is Chang'an Street (now Babao Street); The southwest is the right gate of Chang'an, the east is the Dong'an gate, and the west is the Xi'an gate; The north is the Xuanwu Gate. Miyagi is also known as Ouchi, commonly known as "Forbidden City", there are six gates: due south is the noon gate (now noon gate), southeast is the left gate, southwest is the right gate, east is the Donghua gate, the west is the Xihua gate, and the north is the Bei'an gate. There are two gates between the imperial city and the palace city, the south is the Chengtian Gate, the north is the end gate, and the Hongwu Gate and the Wumen Gate are on the same central axis.

Enter from the Hongwu Gate at the southern end of the imperial city, and go to the royal road in the middle of the Chengtian Gate, there are five stone bridges, called "Outer Five Dragon Bridge", and under the bridge is the Outer Royal River. On both sides of the royal road between Hongwumen and Waiwulong Bridge, is the central government office area of the Ming Dynasty. On the west side of the royal road is the high-level military command organization, including the Governor's Office of the Central, Left, Right, Front and Rear Armies, as well as Taichang Temple, Tongzheng Division, Jinyi Guard, Bannerman Guard, Qin Tianjian and so on; On the east side of the Imperial Road is the central high-level official office, including the Zongren Mansion, the History Department, the Household Department, the Rite Department, the Military Department, the Ministry of Industry, as well as the Han Academy, the Zhan Shi Mansion, and the Tai Hospital. On both sides of the royal road between Chengtianmen and Duanmen are temple communities, the east side is set up to worship the emperor's ancestors, the west side is the shrine altar that worships the gods, and then go north to the noon gate.

Entering the noon gate, there are five stone bridges again, called "inner five dragon bridges", and under the bridge is the inner royal river. After crossing the bridge is the Fengtian Gate, from the south to the north there are the three major halls of Fengtian, the canopy and the body. There are Wenhua Hall and Wenlou on the east side of the three major halls, and there are Wuying Hall and Wulou on the west side, which are collectively referred to as the five halls of the "former dynasty".

After the three major halls, it is the place where the emperor and the concubine live, called "Houting". In the position of the central axis is the three palaces of Qianqing, Jiaotai and Kunning, there is the Rouyi Hall (East Palace) on the left, there is the Chunhe Hall (West Palace) on the right, and the two halls are opposite. The northeast corner is the East Sixth House, and the northwest corner is the West Sixth House. There is also the Imperial Garden on the west side of the Spring Harmony Hall. The "former court" and the "back court" are combined to form the "imperial court".

With Xu Kuibi's explanation, Wu Qi and the others looked at this imperial city with many palaces, pavilions, carved beams and paintings, golden splendor, and magnificent momentum, and were amazed.

"That's the general situation in the Imperial City! I believe that Brother Wang has the opportunity to enter the imperial city to watch. Xu Kuibi finished explaining and looked at Wang Shouren.

"Wang doesn't have that blessing!" Wang Shouren sighed and glanced at Xu Kuibi meaningfully.

Xu Kuibi knew that Wang Shouren had something to say, smiled slightly, didn't talk, and left first.

Although the scenery is good, after all, there is a purpose, and in everyone's lingering, I came to the Governor's Mansion.

Without waiting for Xu Kuibi to dismount, far away, two sergeants in front of the Governor's Mansion ran over.

"Little grandpa, you're here!" The two sergeants smiled and said to Xu Kuibi.

"Hmm!" Xu Kuibi nodded coldly, "Lead the way in front of the head!" ”

"Gotcha!" The two sergeants answered, led their horses, and marched to the governor's palace.

When they came to the gate of the governor's house, the people dismounted, and the sergeant led the horse to the side and tied it to the pillar.

Wang Shouren looked up, but saw a tall gatehouse in front of him.

Xu Kuibi bowed his hand to Wang Shouren and asked, "Brother Wang, please!" ”

Wang Shouren nodded, glanced at Xu Kuibi, turned his head and commanded Wu Qi, "Hold these thieves, let's go in and meet Grandpa!" ”

After that, go first.

Xu Kuibi didn't care either, and accompanied him.

"Little grandpa, you're here!" As soon as he entered the compound, a white-faced and beardless middle-aged man stepped forward and hugged Xu Kuibi.

"Oh, it turned out to be the king's experience! You're on duty today! Xu Kuibi looked at the visitor and smiled.

"Yes!" Wang Cheng said with a smile.

"Come, I've seen Wang Qincha from Jingshi!" Xu Kuibi pulled Wang experience and introduced Wang Shourendao.

"Wang Qincha?" Wang was stunned for a moment and looked at Wang Shouren.

"This is the experience of the subordinate of the Governor's Mansion! You were a family 500 years ago! Xu Kuibi smiled and introduced to Wang Shouren.

"Oh, the king experience! Fortunately! Wang Shouren arched his hand.

"I've seen Wang Qincha!" Wang Shi reacted and hurriedly said. In any case, the Qin cha is in front, and it can't be rude.

"What about my father?" After Xu Kuibi's introduction, Chong Wang asked.

"Ahh Grandpa Xu? Wang Cheng hurriedly replied, "Unfortunately, Grandpa Xu went on a business trip outside the city, and he is not here now!" ”

"And when will he come back?" Xu Kuibi frowned.

"How can the official know this!" Wang Shu smiled bitterly and replied.

"Brother Wang, I'm sorry, my father is not here, I'm afraid I won't be able to try the case today!" Xu Kuibi looked at Wang Shouren with a disappointed face.
