Chapter 547: First Arrival at Yanshan
Leaving the capital, Zhu Jinghong headed east, crossed the Yellow River to Kaifeng Prefecture, crossed the Yellow River to the north, passed through Weihui Prefecture and Zhangde Prefecture, entered Hebei, and passed through Shunde, Zhending, and Baoding. And enter Yanshan.
On April 20, the 13th year of Zhengtong, fifty miles southwest of Daxing County, Beiping Prefecture, Zhu Jinghong’s team arrived here.
"Your Majesty, the Marco Polo Bridge is in front of us," a military attache in golden robes beside Zhu Jinghong said flatteringly.
This person is Ning Wanfu, a member of the Qianhu household in Yanshan, Fusi, Beizhen. He traveled two hundred miles from Beiping Prefecture to Zhuozhou to meet him. He had been traveling with Zhu Jinghong for three days.
Jin Yiwei is a royal servant. It is normal for Ning Wanfu to greet him with flattery. In addition, he will be useful in the future, so Zhu Jinghong did not drive him away.
As for Yanshan’s civil and military officials, according to the system, they only had to travel thirty miles out of the city to greet him.
After leaving the capital, Zhu Jinghong took a car at first, but later he rode a horse most of the time.
Firstly, he can travel faster this way, and secondly, it makes it easier for him to observe the customs of the world.
He achieved the first goal, but the second one was useless. He didn't even see a few people along the way.
His itinerary is basically under the control of the local officials. He will definitely be cleared out on the road he passes by. Even if there are people, they are basically impersonated by the police.
These people were led by Zhang Lin, a member of the Dragon Imperial Guard, a member of the Hundred Households, He Wu, a deputy member of the Banner Guards, and Zhang Baodong, a general of the Beijing Camp.
Ning Wanfu replied, "Twenty miles along the official road, we found a tunnel hiding thieves and an artillery piece."
"Ning Qianhu, Something happened?" Zhang Lin asked.
After the thousands of households left, Zhang Lin and others looked at Ning Wanfu, their eyes full of doubts.
After these people left, Zhu Jinghong was followed by another person, Nuo Min, who was riding with him.
Seeing this famous bridge, Zhu Jinghong thought a lot for a moment, and said, "Go closer and have a look."
At this moment, a deputy Qianhu in Jinyi passed by After passing through many levels, I finally came to Ning Wanfu.
"Yes"
During Zhu Jinghong's trip, the thirty-foot area on both sides of the official road was cleared early in the morning, but now it was discovered that artillery was hidden on one side of the road. There is a problem here. That's big.
At this moment, Zhu Jinghong asked that there was no need to follow him. Of course, these people and Ning Wanfu did not dare to disobey.
“This bridge is really well built,” Nuo Min admired sincerely. She couldn’t help but want to go up to the bridge to see the carvings.
"Who are they?" Ning Wanfu asked.
As a result, both ends of the bridge were directly blocked, with hundreds of Beijing military guards on each side, and there were hundreds of guards along the bridge.
Zhang Lin has the best relationship with Zhu Jinghong, so it is up to him to report this news.
When Zhu Jinghong traveled this time, he was escorted by fifty Dragon Guards sergeants, three hundred Flag Bearer Guards sergeants, and a thousand soldiers from the Beijing Camp.
Ning Wanfu has been in the place for a long time,Although the master of Jinyiwei is well-informed, his understanding of the current situation in the capital is not as good as that of Zhang Lin and others.
The two of them walked onto the bridge side by side. Zhen Qin in the carriage felt uncomfortable when she saw them.
"They've all been taken, but there are no survivors"
The generals in charge of security reached an agreement, and the next step was to make arrangements directly.
"That's how it should be"
When he came to Ning Wanfu, he whispered a few words in a low voice, and Ning Wanfu instantly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Re-checking will definitely delay time, which means Zhu Jinghong will have to wait here.
Of course she wanted to get out of the car and follow Zhu Jinghong to have a look, but she was so tired from traveling these days that she didn't want to move at all now.
So they chatted about some things in the capital, and the atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed.
"I arrived at Beiping Mansion today. I'll have a good rest for two days before I argue with her again."
When he came to the bridge, Zhu Jinghong got off his horse, then looked around and said, " There are enough people on the bridge, so you don’t have to follow me. Just cross the bridge and wait for me.”
“That makes sense.”
This person is from Yanshan Qianhusuo Deputy Qianhu, looking at the solemn look on his face, you can tell that something big has happened.
In this regard, Zhu Jinghong was helpless and could only enjoy the scenery along the way.
Zhen Qin originally wanted to accept Enze, but because of her poor physical condition, Nuo Min accompanied Zhu Jinghong most of the time, which made her more and more angry.
With fear in his heart, Ning Wanfu continued, "I'm afraid, there are still thieves on the road. I think we need to screen them again."
Seeing Zhu Jinghong walking slowly, they also They all looked at ease, and their subordinates thoughtfully brought them refreshments.
"The Marco Polo Bridge is here to rest. I'll go for a walk on the bridge," Zhu Jinghong said calmly.
Fortunately, the Jinyiwei people found the culprits, and their crimes can be ignored.
"This is still under investigation"
"Everyone has been arrested"
First of all, the local government responsible for clearing the scene should be held responsible, and the Jinyiwei responsible for the inspection are jointly and severally responsible. responsibility.
No one in this team can restrain him at the moment, so his orders are quickly implemented.
While Zhen Qin was sulking, Ning Wanfu and others had already crossed the Marco Polo Bridge. At this time, several generals were waiting at the head of the bridge.
But even so, the hundreds of soldiers surrounding him basically blocked his sight.
"Hurry up and investigate this case yourself," Ning Wanfu solemnly requested.
On the bridge at this time, Zhu Jinghong looked at the calm water and listened to Zhang Lin's report.
He couldn't help but wonder who wanted to harm him
The White Lotus Sect rebel Lao Liu would still be suspected by the people patrolling Yanshan Dusi
In a flash Zhu Jing doesn’t trust anyone or anyone. It can be seen that Zhu JingHong already possesses the basic qualities of a qualified emperor.
In the past two years, troubles have continued to happen in Yanshan and Liaodong, and there are many shady activities behind the scenes.
Now that Zhu Jinghong is here to inspect, he dares to touch many areas that others dare not touch. It is normal to force some people to jump over the wall.
Thinking about the fact that even the artillery was produced, Zhu Jinghong became even more suspicious of the Yanshan Dusi generals.
Assassinating the prince and conspiring to treason are major crimes against the Nine Tribes. Normally, these people should not be so unwise.
After all, even if he is found guilty of corruption and bribery, he will only be dismissed from office, confiscation of his property, and exiled. At most, he will be beheaded. It is not worthy of risking the lives of the entire clan.
But Zhu Jinghong then thought about it. There were so many generals in Yanshan Dusi, so it was not surprising that there would be one or two stupid people.
"It's the people from Yanshan Qianhu Office who are investigating"
"Exactly" Zhang Lin replied.
"Where is the hiding place for the artillery? Let me go and see"
"Your Majesty, this"
Zhang Linzheng was about to persuade, but when Zhu Jinghong turned around Come on, seeing his stern eyes, the guy swallowed his words again.
"Yes"
Go and see with your own eyes. Of course it's not Zhu Jinghong's whim, but he doesn't trust the people in Yanshan Qianhusuo either.
The cases of high-ranking officials who have been punished within Jinyiwei in the past two years are also shocking, and now it is really hard for Zhu Jinghong to believe them.
With Zhu Jinghong’s strong push, the team was soon ready to set off and headed towards the location of the accident ahead.
This time, Zhu Jinghong sat back in the carriage honestly, and the large group of people drove as fast as possible.
The news that he was going to stop at the place of the accident was also carried forward by fast horses, in order to prepare the sergeants and officers everywhere.
An hour later, Zhu Jinghong got off the carriage and came to a forest on the roadside surrounded by a large number of soldiers.
Around the forest, other sergeants formed a tight defense circle to prevent any attacks.
On the outer periphery, the cavalry from the Beijing camp had already moved, patrolling a larger area around them.
"Your Majesty, this is the tunnel." Ning Wanfu pointed to a tree.
It is said to be a tunnel, but it is actually a large pit, which can accommodate artillery and supporting tools.
"Where are the criminal and the murder weapon?" Zhu Jinghong asked in a deep voice.
"According to the instructions of the prince, I did not dare to move without permission, so the things are stored there."
In fact, Ning Wanfu only needs to lead the way here, explaining so much This is to avoid responsibility as much as possible.
His mind was sharp and he could roughly guess that Zhu Jinghong was suspicious, so he was already taking precautions.
There are many people as smart as Ning Wanfu, so when Zhu Jinghong was checking the corpses and artillery, senior Yanshan officials who learned the news also rushed over.
The chief envoy Yang Yunguang and the inspector-general Ying ZhuoLiu Yande, the imperial censor of Chengdu and the governor, and Cai Chuansheng, the commander of the capital.
These officials are all human beings. Naturally, it is a serious matter to have assassins. They also understand what it means for Zhu Jinghong to check in person.
"Your Majesty, the local magistrate of Yanshan is here" Yu Hai appeared next to Zhu Jinghong and reported.
This time out of Beijing, the chief manager of the palace was still responsible for Zhu Jinghong’s food and daily life.
"Let them all come over," Zhu Jinghong said calmly.
"Yes"
After a few breaths, almost seven or eight officials arrived, all of whom were deeply affected by the incident.
The crowd was headed by the chief envoy Yang Yunguang. This man looked to be in his fifties, and he looked like a good man with an elegant temperament.
In fact, the temperaments of the scholar-bureaucrats who entered the officialdom through the imperial examination were generally similar, and those who were independent were in the minority after all.
When everyone came to the core circle, under the gaze of the soldiers around them, it was easy to see Zhu Jinghong wearing a red regimental dragon robe.
At this moment, Zhu Jinghong was sitting on a chair with a coffee table next to him.
"I will pay my respects to His Highness
"You have just entered Yanshan, and it is really surprising to receive such a greeting gift," Zhu Jinghong said calmly.
If it were three years ago, everyone would just think that he could fool him with a few explanations.
But now, no one dares to underestimate Zhu Jinghong, so no one dares to prevaricate casually.
p>
After all, the incident was caused by poor public security. According to the inspection envoy Ying Zhuocheng, he was the first responsible person, so he could only say, "Report to Your Highness that I failed to eliminate the bandits. This is a dereliction of duty. Your Highness please punish me severely."
Everyone was still kneeling at this moment, so Zhu Jinghong leaned forward slightly, and then said with a smile, "Don't worry about taking the blame. The matter will eventually be found out, and whose guilt is not certain yet."
p>
When everyone heard this, their scalps went numb, and they couldn’t feel at ease until the matter was settled.
After a few moments of silence, the chief envoy Yang Yunguang said, "Your Highness. "Yes, Sir Ying, this case is of great importance. You, the Inspector, must personally supervise the investigation. The Peiping Prefectural Government Office and the Daxing County Government Office will jointly investigate. We must get to the bottom of this case and give an explanation to His Highness."
According to the Inspector General. Ying Zhuocheng nodded, then looked at Zhu Jinghong and said, "Your Highness, I will personally supervise the case and arrest all those involved."
Whether it is possible or not, we must first make our attitude clear. The first one.
Zhu Jinghong was noncommittal and glanced at everyone, trying to see if there was any ghost in these people.
But people’s hearts are unpredictable, let alone the people in front of them. They are all human beings, how could Zhu Jinghong see that?
"Get up"
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. < /p>
"Capital Commander"
The official named by Zhu Jinghong immediately left his duty, approached and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Cai Chuansheng, Commander of the Capital Division of Yanshan City, pays homage to the prince"
"You are from the army, go and see the captured cannon" Zhu Jinghong pointed not far away and said.
"Yes"
Although he didn't know why, Cai Chuansheng still walked over.
Cai Chuansheng was indeed an expert. With just one glance, he realized that the thing in front of him was a standard artillery piece in the military.
So he began to look carefully and wanted to see the inscriptions on the cannon body. Military artillery craftsmen would engrave inscriptions to record and record information such as the casting craftsmen and supervising officials.
Through these contents, we can trace the origin of the item to which army it was sent to and who managed it after it left the warehouse.
He looked around the cannon body and finally found the location of the inscription under the barrel. Unfortunately, the words above had been erased.
On the side of the artillery, Ning Wanfu, a member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu, said, "General Cai, it's the mark of the file."
"Hmm"
At this time, Cai Chuansheng was not in the mood to pay attention to Ning. Good luck, but I was wondering what Zhu Jinghong meant by letting him come to see it.
"Standard artillery, could it be?" Thinking of that possibility, Cai Chuansheng broke into a cold sweat.
"General Cai, what did you see?"
Hearing Zhu Jinghong's inquiry, Cai Chuansheng quickly gathered his thoughts, turned around and replied, "Your Highness, this is an artillery piece in the army. I don’t know how to live out.”
At this time, Cai Chuansheng didn’t dare to pretend to be confused, so he simply said it.
Hearing this, Chief Secretary Yang Yunguang was also frightened, and then he was also thinking about Zhu Jinghong's purpose.
In fact, Zhu Jinghong's purpose is very simple, which is to use this to knock the mountain and shake the tiger. The purpose is to inspect the Yanshan Dusi.
Of course, if the people of Yanshan Dusi are really responsible for the assassination, you can also give them a try.
"The artillery in the army fell into the hands of thieves. If this matter spreads, I am afraid that people in the world will laugh at it."
"Before I came, the Holy One said that Yanshan Dusi Military Bei Relaxed, but I didn’t expect it to be so lax.”
“It seems that Yanshan’s military equipment is indeed very lax.”
In fact, Cai Chuansheng can defend himself here. After all, even in the military Artillery does not necessarily flow from Yanshan Dusi.
Liaodong Dusi’s side is even worse. It has been investigated over and over again in the past few years, and reselling ordnance is nothing new.
Who is Zhu Jinghong? He is one of the two great princes of the Ming Dynasty, the famous God of War of the Ming Dynasty, and an imperial envoy who was ordered to inspect the Yanshan Dusi.
At this time, Zhu Jinghong was making use of the topic. How dare Cai Chuansheng dare to contradict him at this time, so he could only listen to the lesson honestly.
In the beginning, Ying Zhuocheng was under great pressure, but now that Zhu Jinghong is attacking Cai Chuansheng, he feels much more relaxed.
Being accused in front of so many people, Cai Chuansheng had sweat breaking out on his forehead.
After calming down, Cai Chuansheng said with great respect, "Your Majesty, I will investigate strictly."
Slowly standing up, Zhu Jinghong walked towards Cai Chuansheng.
As he got closer, the latter bent even harderDamn.
When Zhu Jinghong came closer, Cai Chuansheng was already bowing, but no one present dared to laugh at him.
Because of the change of location, they may be even more unbearable than Cai Chuansheng.
It seems that King Xiang used the topic to frighten everyone in Yanshan Dusi. Almost everyone thinks so.
Patting Cai Chuansheng on the shoulder, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile, "When we go back, let all the guards be ready. Even if you want to lie to me, you must be more careful and don't get into trouble."
p>
This is called killing people and killing the heart. After Zhu Jinghong said this, Cai Chuansheng knew that if Yanshan Dusi was not extra careful, it would be very difficult for him to face the next level.
"I don't dare to deceive the prince. I will definitely organize all the guards this time. The army must be dignified and the morale is high."
Cai Chuansheng expressed his attitude, but Zhu Jinghong did not I won't let you go.
After experiencing the initial anger, he has now calmed down a lot, and his suspicion of Yanshan Dusi has weakened a lot.
Looking back at the people behind him, Zhu Jinghong said, "Whoever should investigate the case will investigate the case. I am waiting for your results." Please remember to collect it.
