Chapter 257: Huang Yu is here
Although the palace maid was apprehensive, she also mustered up her courage under Zhu Huiyu's constant encouragement, and swaggered towards the south gate of the inner city with the county lord. The inner city is not better than the outer city, in addition to the residence of the king of Jin, all the temporary official offices are also set up here, and because of the extraordinary period, the city gate can not enter and exit at will, the three guards guarding the inner city are responsible for checking the entry and exit of people, etc., of course, holding the Jin Wangfu token has always been able to pass unimpeded.
Zhu Huiyu took the palace maid to successfully mix out of the inner city, only a door away, but it is two worlds, different from the cleanliness and tidiness of the inner city, the eyes are full of dilapidated and decay, and the nasal cavity is full of unpleasant odors.
Under the guidance of the palace maid, the two of them went all the way to the south, and the venue was on the original site of Liu Guoneng's Chinese army camp, and they could already hear the vigorous and powerful slogans and shouts that penetrated the sky far away, Zhu Huiyu's heart was vibrating, and her heart was beating like a deer.
Is he there?
The training of the Three Guards was really different, and I saw them lined up in five horizontal columns, all of them holding fire guns, and doing various movements rhythmically with the sound of their horns. Zhu Huiyu has almost never been out of the palace, and even this month of escape has been under the protection of relatives and guards, so in her eyes, everything is fresh. But I was wondering in my heart, this is very different from what is written in the book, I have never seen such a method of military training!
Without warning, the sound of porcelain brushwork exploded in the playground, startling Zhu Huiyu and her palace maids, only to see that the Three Guards were already shrouded in a thick white smoke, and their nasal cavities were filled with the smell of burning sulfur.
After such a few salvos, the entire playground was filled with layers of gunsmoke, which made Zhu Huiyu anxious, she sneaked out to see if Li Xin looked like a black-faced fang, but now her eyes were full of white smoke, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
They waited until the end of the drill, and the army withdrew in two columns, until the smoke cleared, and they did not see half a shadow of Li Xin, the former general of the expedition to the west. Zhu Huiyu looked at the empty training ground in disappointment, only to feel that there was an indescribable grievance in her heart, and she burst into tears.
This frightened the little palace maid next to her, "County Lord......"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Huiyu stretched out her hand to wipe her face and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the city, who rarely sees him!" β
The little palace maid put her mind at ease, followed the county lord and walked back, and after walking only a few steps, Zhu Huiyu couldn't help but say: "Tell me, the general of Zhengxi is majestic......
Zhu Huiyu didn't know that just when he was full of joy and turned into grievances, Li Xin was also anxious at the moment, something happened!
On the first day of the resumption of work in the coal mine in the west of Taiyuan, there was a water penetration incident, and the first batch of miners who went down the mine did not survive, and a large number of miners on the mine were unstable, and the shape of the mine was on the verge of breaking out. After receiving the news, Li Xin hurriedly left the training ground and rushed to the coal mine.
As a matter of fact, Li Xin is not an expert in the construction of coal mines, and he himself has not been able to do technical work, because he is worried that the thousands of workers he has just recruited will take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.
Tian Fuzhen couldn't see the appearance of a scholar at all at this time, his short clothes and pants were covered with soot mud, and his face was the same, and his voice was already hoarse.
"Lord Tian, tell me quickly, what's the situation?"
Tian Fuzhen turned out to be handed over by his entourage, and he didn't use a bowl, and after pouring a few big mouthfuls into the spout, he wiped his mouth.
"No one in the well has been saved, the workers on the well are shouting for payment, and the lower officials will soon be unable to hold on here, so the general should quickly transfer troops and suppress it."
The gaffe turned out to be more strict than he imagined, he was in a hurry when he came, and he only brought a hundred and ten cavalry soldiers with him, if he transferred troops, he could only transfer them from Shouyang nearby! Tian Fuzhen was born in a civil official, and he has always advertised that education is the first, and he loves the people like a son, and the theory of transferring troops and ammunition can come out of his mouth, which shows that things have reached the extreme.
"What, the general only brought a hundred and ten horsemen? No, we have to get out of ......."
Many of these people were recruited from the scattered thieves, and their bloody and wild nature had not been eradicated, and it was easy for chaos to go wrong in this situation.
In the midst of the lightning, Li Xin suddenly realized that if there was a civil uprising, the director would transfer troops and suppress it, and then he would be more difficult to recruit miners than ascending to the sky, and the plan to fight would inevitably be put on hold.
Li Xin personally went to the miners and identified himself at the same time.
"I'm Li Xin, the chief soldier of Shanxi, what can you say to me!"
Li Xin's name was already extremely loud in Shanxi, and these people were still making a lot of noise, but after hearing that it was Li Xin, who had black fangs and ate human flesh raw, they immediately quieted down.
But seeing Li Xin himself, it was nothing more than that, the same person with a nose and two eyes, two arms, and two legs, it seemed that there was a difference of 108,000 miles from the rumors. Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted: "You are not Li Xin, you are a fake!" β
Li Xin didn't expect his name to have such a big effect, and when he heard someone questioning him, he smiled.
"How do you know I'm a fake?"
"That's not simple, who doesn't know on the boundary of Shanxi, General Li Xin, the general of the three guards, has a black face and fangs, and can eat human flesh raw. Look at you again, although you are also burly and handsome, compared to General Li, it is only 108,000 miles away! β
It turned out that this was the case, Li Xin couldn't laugh or cry at this explanation, and I don't know when it was rumored in Shanxi that Li Xin had a fierce and vicious appearance, with a black face and fangs, and eating human flesh raw, which was almost his standard image. Originally, he didn't pay much attention to it, but he didn't expect that the impact was already so deep. He even felt that with these rumors, maybe the people would talk about his name, and it would have the effect of stopping children's night crying!
Li Xin took out a small square copper seal from the snakeskin pouch around his waist and held it high above his head.
"Look, this is the Great Seal of the former general of the Western Expedition! This time, you believe it, right? β
The seal of the Ming Dynasty did not need to be proliferated in later generations, and if he could take out the seal, more than half of the people believed it.
"General, we don't have many requirements, we have married the wage earners, let us go, although we want to have food and shelter, we can't lose our lives!"
Li Xin nodded frequently, indicating that he fully agreed with what they said, but Li Xin also sincerely asked them to stay and observe for a while, and then make plans when the mine was re-strengthened and the danger was eliminated. He also assured: "When the danger of the mine is cleared, Ben Shuai will be the first to take the lead to open the way for you, what do you think?" β
With all that said, the miners could still say much, and they said that they could wait.
"Then we'll wait for a while, but the general has to speak, and if the general doesn't open the way for us at that time, we still have to go!"
Li Xin replied categorically: "A gentleman's word, a quick whip!" β
β¦β¦
Zhu Youzhen, the great son of the emperor, reclined on the side of the couch, still holding the secret report of Gao Shiming who had just sent the attack in his hand, and muttered to himself.
"What a Li Xin, he dares to resist the decree and disrespect!"
Empress Zhou sat quietly not far from him, listening to him talk about Li Xinlai again, and there was still the content of disrespect between the words, and she couldn't help but wonder.
"Haven't Banzai been protecting him all the time, why don't you know what to do?"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen laughed, put the secret report on the couch, and came to Queen Zhou's side.
"The queen only knows one thing, but she doesn't know the other. What he resisted was the will of the lord of Shang County. β
Empress Zhou frowned and said, "Is he afraid that he will lose his qualification to participate in court politics from now on as a guest of honor?" β
Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and shook his head, "No, Gao Shiming has already told him what he wanted, but he is still stubborn. According to Gao Shiming, Li Xin had already made an appointment with the daughter of a merchant as early as the same time, saying that he couldn't afford to lose others! For this reason, he also had a big quarrel with my high prison army, which is really rare. β
"Oh! If so, this person is a person who cares about old love, is affectionate and righteous, and is a good man! β
"What the queen said is very true, and if she can be so affectionate, she must be a loyal minister and a filial son! It's a pity that the overall situation is forced that this Xinle county lord must marry, and he can only be wronged! β
Empress Zhou seemed thoughtful, and suddenly said: "Since sooner or later you will have wronged him, why not make amends to his family?" β
Zhu Youzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he even praised: "The queen is really my sage and helper!" β
Soon, the emperor ordered people to go to Xinle to visit Li Xin's family, but after checking the county government's register, he visited the site again, and the news he got was embarrassing. In the local area, Li Xin's father's generation has two brothers, Li Xin's father is the eldest brother, and has three sons, and his parents and brothers have disappeared in all the Tartar invasions, and their lives and deaths are unknown. His uncle's family has one child each, and he is nowhere to be found, so I am afraid that they are all unlucky.
After a long time, this Li Xin is also a bitter background, and his family has long been ruined, no wonder he became a ringing horse, he has no worries in this world, coupled with the embarrassment of life, it is indeed ten shortcuts to live in a desperate way.
Zhu Youzhen was very dissatisfied with the results of this investigation, thinking that the people under his command did not do their best, so he specially sent his henchman, Wang Chengen, out to find Li Xin's relatives, and at the same time sent people to Taiyuan to learn more about the situation.
As a result, Wang Chengen was different, and he actually let him find Li Xin's cousin and bring him back to the capital.
Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed, and met Li Xin's cousin, Li Yong, on the same day! As for what the emperor said when he received him, no one knows, but the next day a holy decree came from the palace, and Li Yong was crowned as the deputy secretary of Jinyi Weibei Town, and the military attache from Sipin.
The emperor's favor to Li Xin simply reached the willful Cheng dΓΉ, and many people in the court were red-eyed. As a result, these envy and jealousy quickly transformed the city's hatred for Li Xin.
The news of finding his cousin soon arrived in Taiyuan, and Li Xin couldn't cry or laugh when he learned about it, and he didn't recall that he had a cousin in Li Xin's mind. Of course, he didn't have any memory of Li Xin.
Soon, news came from the north, and after Li Xin learned about it, he was apprehensive and apologetic, and Huang Yu came.
