Chapter 521 Xue Pan’s panic

Chapter 521 Xue Pan’s Panic

Let’s say that Zhu Jinghong entered the inner house. As soon as he walked into Baochai’s room, he saw his wife sitting behind the desk, holding a book in her hand and turning the pages. look.

Zhu Jinghong was about to speak, but he saw Baochai raised his head and said with a smile, "It took so long for the prince to come back. Could it be that he got stuck somewhere?"

Sit aside At the guest seat, Zi Gu took off his wristband, and Zhu Jinghong replied casually; "I rode the horse outside for a while and chatted with the guards for a while."

"That's it, I thought the prince would see you." Who did they say, what did they whisper?"

Baochai only knew that Zhu Jinghong met Yingchun by chance, but did not know the details of their conversation, so this sentence was just a simple tease.

"I met a girl from the Jia family and asked a few random questions," Zhu Jinghong replied with a smile.

He was actually not afraid that Baochai would know the truth, so he answered calmly at this time.

After traveling to the present for more than two years, he has actually been deeply influenced by the current values, and his mentality is very different from his previous life.

With his current status, he could have been more unscrupulous, but up to now he has not messed around at all, which can be regarded as paying special attention to self-restraint.

So what are these people doing here?

After flicking his sleeves, Zhu Jinghong took off his pearl folding hat and replied "I know"

In fact, Baochai also cherished Zhu Jinghong's cleanliness, so she didn't ask any more questions at this moment. The couple got along well with each other.

Baochai was very confused. She didn’t understand where Zhu Jinghong’s confidence came from. Could it be that he was the emperor’s son?

“They are all out of the city. Just stay here and don’t let others Just notice it."

The two chatted for a while, and then Zhu Jinghong went to practice martial arts alone, while Baochai went to the back of the other courtyard to play with Zhu Yunsheng and others.

"Lao Liu is indeed smart, but there are too many clever tricks. Too many tricks will only make people bored"

"You are not afraid of staying outside the city all the time"

p>

Baochai replied "Exactly"

So serving in such a place is extremely detrimental to the career of a military attache, and anyone with the slightest ambition is afraid of it.

Zhu Jinghong smiled and then replied, "Don't let everyone think that only I can win."

Suling, Gaoling and Yuling are the closest to the annex of Prince Xiang's Mansion. It's only about thirty years ago.

"Yes"

The so-called "like father" is not just the emperor's perception of Zhu Jinghong, most civil servants also have such thoughts.

After Ying'er took the hat and left, Baochai stood up and walked towards Zhu Jinghong. He said solemnly, "I don't think this matter is simple."

"We just left the city today and we met It's too coincidental that he had a conflict with the Jia family over such a thing."

Zhu Jinghong smiled and then said, "Although it makes some sense, now that the misunderstanding has been eliminated, this matter is no longer a coincidence." Forget it."

Pick up the teacup on the side,Zhu Jinghong asked, "You want to say that it's Lao Liu who is causing trouble?"

"So?"

"Yeah"

"Not afraid"

There were a total of thirteen mausoleum guards in the Ming Dynasty. Except for the Nanjing Xiaoling Guard, the others were near Luoyang and guarded all the royal tombs since Taizong.

"Based on the existing military strength of the imperial court, it is difficult to say that there is an overwhelming advantage, so the imperial court must increase its troops. The Ministry of War is already deploying this matter"

This is indeed the truth , it is impossible for civil servants to support him, otherwise there will be another Zhu Xianming, which will make everyone breathless, and almost no one can bear it.

At this time, Baochai finally understood, and then asked, "So do you think that only you can win?"

After a while, the three commanders entered the other courtyard, and the leader The man was Liang Wen, the commander of Suling Guards.

Baochai replied, "Maybe the East Palace did the opposite and made us think it was the Sixth Family."

Seeing that Baochai still had doubts on his face, Zhu Jinghong had no choice but to continue, " The Ming Dynasty cannot afford to lose this battle."

Putting down the book, Baochai asked slowly, "You must already know what happened this afternoon."

However, Zhu Jinghong hadn't rested for long. I heard someone coming to report from outside, and three commanders of Suling Guard, Gaoling Guard and Yuling Guard came to pay their respects.

"You are all blind, thinking that the sky in the capital is everything, but you don't know that the world is very big. For example, the Rakshasa Kingdom and Kazakhstan in the northwest have been increasing their troops."

"So you I still have to go to the battlefield." Baochai looked worried.

Baochai replied bitterly, "We have already withdrawn from Beijing, and he still uses these methods to deceive others too much."

"Although he has withdrawn from Beijing, there are many spies around him." , I think the old man will know what happened today"

Although he was confused, Zhu Jinghong still ordered "invite them in"

"You are talking about the Jia family's affairs"

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong didn't care, Baochai replied, "I guess you don't want to bother anymore."

Putting down the teacup, he grabbed Baochai's hand, and Zhu Jinghong said with a smile, " The imperial court has been divided between them. Where else can we go if we don't go to the battlefield?"

"Why"

The Tomb Guards are very special. Their only mission is to guard the imperial mausoleum and eliminate thousands of households. The above-mentioned officers are appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, and the rest of the military officers will be hereditary from their ancestors, so they have basically no communication with the outside world.

So today, whether Zhu Jinghong can win the battle is undoubtedly the answer. After all, he played so smoothly in the northwest.

"Kowtow to the Prince"

Looking at the three people paying homage in front of him, Zhu Jinghong looked puzzled and asked, "Why are you three here?"

"Your Majesty, I have sent people to protect you by order"

"By order" Zhu Jinghong was even more confused.

Liang Wen replied, "The Lord has a decree that Prince Xiang's Mansion is isolated outside the city. In order to prevent you from getting into trouble with Her Highness the Princess, I ordered my ministers to send troops to protect you."

"Sure." Lingwei, Gaolingwei, YulingGuards, each sent three hundred sergeants to come, and now they have arrived in front of the other courtyard."

Although the Ling Guard troops were fully equipped, they still implemented the settlement system established by Taizu. Each guard had more than 5,000 military households. There are more than a thousand soldiers.

Now there are three hundred sergeants in each guard, which is considered a large-scale mobilization.

The old man only cared about me after beating me. Give me a sweet date, Zhu Jinghong thought.

The next moment, Liang Wen took out an official letter and handed it to Zhu Jinghong, "Your Majesty, this is the transfer order from the Royal Horse Supervisor."

The reason why the Yuma Jian is as important as the Dongchang and stands out from other agencies in the inner court is that it is the emperor's military secretarial agency.

They are responsible for the 22 guards of the Shanzhi Army, including the mausoleum guards. Li Tiao is a very critical position and is highly trusted by the emperor himself.

After reading the official document and confirming that it was correct, Zhu Jinghong only asked these people to step aside and then returned to the study.

He wanted to personally submit a memorial to reject the transferred mausoleum guards.

Normally, even if the memorial was sent to the General Affairs Department in the afternoon, the emperor would see it the next day at the earliest.

This afternoon, the emperor was basically free, but he was not idle either. p>

In the sand table set up in the side hall of Qianqing Palace, he was fascinated by the situation in the northwest.

In fact, he would look at the sand table when he had time, and he already knew the situation in the northwest well.

It is precisely because of his thorough understanding that he understands how serious the situation in the northwest is now.

I thought it would be easy to defeat the main force of Junggar and coerce these rebels, but he did not know that the Rakshasa Congress was deeply involved. , now the army has entered the territory of Junggar.

Different from what Zhu Jinghong considered, Zhu Xianming was already weighing whether to continue fighting in the northwest.

For the sake of Junggar. In a barren land, is it worth going to war with the Rakshasa Kingdom?

The emperor was considering important matters, and no one dared to interfere, with the exception of Cheng Ying. According to the news, Cheng Ying appeared outside the side hall.

After entering the hall, Cheng Ying paid homage and said, "Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Master has a memorial."

Hearing this. Zhu Xianming did not say anything, but motioned to put it aside on the table.

Cheng Ying immediately followed his words, put the chapter and left.

It was over again. After a while, Zhu Xianming sighed and thought to himself that he was really old, and he was so undecided that he could not make a decision.

He felt that he should fight now, but he could not guarantee that it would be the same tomorrow. Think

To put it simply, he still hasn’t really made up his mind.

“It’s still the lack of money and food, otherwise I wouldn’t hesitate.”

The so-called lack of money and food. This is a false proposition, because the internal funds under his control include more than 13 million yuan.

This year., after successive battles in Junggar, the state treasury has spent nearly seven million taels of silver on military pay, armaments, food, rewards, and pensions.

With only the money in the national treasury, there is no problem in fighting the war for another two or three years. The problem is that the return from the war itself is indeed too low.

Even if the Rakshasa Kingdom is defeated, even if Junggar is recovered, so what?

At this moment, Zhu Xianming was asking himself again, showing that his heart was still wavering.

When he came to the table and picked up Zhu Jinghong’s chapter memorial, Zhu Xianming read it carefully.

The content of the text is concise and comprehensive. Zhu Xianming directly wrote and commented, "Just act according to the order."

Zhu Xianming did not have any deep meaning in calling the mausoleum guards to assist in the protection, but simply out of love for his children. .

After finishing this sentence, when Zhu Xianming was about to put down his pen, he added another sentence: "You must take good care of your sister. If you make any mistakes, you must be severely punished."

After approving this chapter After the performance, Zhu Xianming had someone send him back.

Before night, Zhu Jinghong received the reply, so he couldn't say much.

As a result, nearly a thousand mausoleum guards were added around the courtyard, plus the 400 guards accompanying the palace, protecting the place like an iron barrel.

On the second day, the Jia family still left the other courtyard, but Tanchun had already talked to Zhu Yunsheng and was valued by the latter.

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the twelfth lunar month of the orthodox year.

During this period, Zhu Jinghong got two pieces of good news.

Firstly, Baochai was pregnant, and secondly, Sun Shaozu took the initiative to ask for help, and cooperated with Anxi Xingdusi to defeat the Zasak coalition, laying the foundation for the recovery of the three northwest countries.

Now that the northwest is freezing, these people took advantage of their last chance to win this battle, which is definitely not easy.

Although Sun Shaozu assisted and the main credit lies with Wang Ziteng, he still received a commendation from the emperor and officially appointed him as the commander and commander of the capital of Anxi.

At this moment, in the school grounds on the east side of the courtyard, Zhu Jinghong was reading Sun Shaozu’s letters.

"It's interesting to make up such a reason to come back to the capital to thank you."

After saying that, Zhu Jinghong put away the letter, then turned around and looked at the guards behind him. He said to the leader of the four hundred households, "We are all ready."

"Your Majesty, we have been ready for a long time," Gao Hong replied.

"Then let's set off"

The guards have already brought his Black Whirlwind, with knives and bows and arrows on both sides of the saddle. Today they are going hunting.

It was snowing heavily to go hunting, that’s all Zhu Jinghong could think of.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of prey in the nearby mountains. Their target is the vicinity of Songshan Mountain, where there are especially many wild animals within a radius of more than ten miles.

In addition to the more than forty close guards who accompanied him, there were more than a hundred other guards accompanying him. Except for Zhu Jinghong and a few hundred households, all of them were wearing armor.

Of course, Zhu Jinghong also brought armor this time.But he didn't wear it because he felt uncomfortable, so a dedicated guard carried it for him.

The group of people left angrily. At this time, Daiyu was talking to Baochai in the palace.

Although it was only confirmed that she was pregnant in the past two days, Baochai already has some maternal radiance between her eyebrows and eyes, and she always has a faint smile on her lips.

Holding a warm tea cup, Daiyu asked in a low voice, "Sister Bao, when do you plan to return to Beijing?"

"It depends on the situation."

With a smile on her face Concerned, Daiyu said, "Anyway, it is better to live in the palace of the capital. It is not convenient to live in this other courtyard after all."

In fact, from the perspective of personal interests, Daiyu does not want Baochai to move back, as she He also had to go back to the palace with the princess. It was not that easy to see Zhu Jinghong.

Baochai sighed, and then said, "Forget it, there are too many things to worry about in the capital, it is much safer to live here."

Hearing this, Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief. , of course it would be best not to go back secretly.

The next moment, she felt despicable for having such thoughts

When Daiyu was internally consumed, Baochai asked, "Is it possible that my sister misses her family?"

Daiyu has lived in this villa for more than a month, and she has not seen her father for a long time.

When she was in the palace, as long as her father was in and out of the palace, she could take a temporary leave from the princess and then come out to have a few words with her biological father.

Reminded by Baochai at this time, Daiyu suddenly discovered that not only was she unfaithful to her good sister, but she was also unfilial to her old father.

The reason was that Daiyu directly deflected the conflict and shifted all the responsibilities to Zhu Jinghong, which made her feel much better.

The two of them chatted for a while, and suddenly someone outside reported that it was Xue Pan from Jinling who came to pay a visit.

According to the news Baochai received, Xue Pan will arrive in Beijing today. Normally, he would have to settle down in the house first, and would not come to see him until tomorrow at the earliest.

It would be too late to come here today.

Looking at Daiyu, Baochai said helplessly, "Sister Lin, go and play with them."

Baochai wanted to see his brother, but Daiyu knew it was inconvenient to be there. , so he got up to say goodbye and left.

At this moment, in the tea room outside the courtyard, Xue Pan looked frightened and was pouring tea into his mouth one cup at a time.

"My father-in-law, I wonder if His Highness will be here today" Xue Pan said while suppressing fear.

Xue Pan had just rewarded him with silver, so the eunuch had a very good attitude and replied with a smile, "Back to Uncle Xue, the prince went hunting today, I'm afraid he will come back later."

"That's it," Xue Pan quickly changed his words.

After drinking the third cup of tea, a maid finally came out and guided Xue Pan to the depths of the courtyard.

Soon, Xue Pan was taken to a living room, which was empty except for the eunuch on duty.

After waiting for a while, when Xue Pan couldn't help but ask, he heard footsteps coming from behind the screen on the left.There was a sound of footsteps, so he stood respectfully on the spot again.

A few breaths later, accompanied by the female officials and maids, Baochai appeared in the living room.

"Kowtow to the princess," Xue Pan immediately saluted.

Zi Gu walked to the main seat and sat down. Looking at his brother who had been away for a long time, Baochai was undoubtedly very happy.

"Get up"

"Xie Niangniang"

After signaling Xue Pan to sit down, Baochai asked, "Why didn't mother come over?"

Baochai originally planned to let her brother get married this year, but she didn't know that she had been delayed for so long, and now the wedding can only be postponed to next year.

Xue Pan replied, "My mother is tired. I asked her to go back to the capital to settle down. I will accompany her here in a few days."

"I learned that the princess was pregnant. I was so happy that I didn't sleep all night, and even said that I would personally serve the princess." Please remember to bookmark it. The latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free to find and add books can be added to the qq group 952868558
