Chapter 1272 What to say?
Zhu Xu's convoy moved forward again, but it was very clear.
Cao Bianjiao's imperial guards were behind, Hong Chengchou's cavalry was in front, and the defense situation of the imperial guards was very obvious.
At the same time, there were troops coming quickly behind the convoy.
Hong Chengchou rode a horse and walked in front, with a calm face on his elegant face as if he had no idea what was happening behind him.
A deputy general was a little surprised and walked to Hong Chengchou and asked in confusion: "Sir, what does the guard mean? Are you guarding us?"
He didn't understand, and Hong Chengchou naturally knew it, his expression was calm, and he felt very uneasy.
This time it was too obvious. Even if the emperor did not arouse suspicion, Cao Bianjiao would be alert, which is not worthy of surprise.
Hong Chengchou looked ahead and said calmly: "Don't worry, let's escort the emperor to the headquarters, and then return to the base."
The deputy general looked back and said, "Yes."
Not only the deputy general was confused, but the cavalry brought by Hong Chengchou were very confused, and he looked back from time to time, with a strange expression.
Before Zhu Xu arrived at the headquarters, this incident had spread throughout Jingdezhen.
Bi Ziyan has been to Jingdezhen for three days and has seen officials of all sizes here. He just fell asleep and was awakened by his entourage officials.
Listening to the whole thing, Bi Ziyan frowned and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
The entourage official was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Qingshui Department. Qin Chongkai sat in front of Bi Ziyan with a serious expression and said, "Sir, this matter is not a trivial matter. Hong Chengchou must have a problem, and even Lu Xiangsheng is questionable."
Lu Xiangsheng was the general of Shandong before, but later in charge of the Beijing Patrol Battalion. He was then the Minister of War and now the Grand Commander of the Southern War Zone. His status is extraordinary!
Hong Chengchou has led his troops for many years and is deeply rooted in Jiangxi, holding elite soldiers in his hand.
If these two people had bad intentions, it would be a huge disaster!
Bi Ziyan shook his head. As the chief minister, although he rarely interfered with the army, it did not mean that he did not understand.
Bi Ziyan pondered for a while and said, "Is there any problem with Hong Chengchou? Lu Xiangsheng must be fine. He must have been designed by someone."
Lu Xiangsheng was in Fujian, and the southern camp in his hand was in the south. No matter what he wanted to plan, it was beyond his reach.
However, Hong Chengchou has always been a mixed reputation among the government and the people. He used to massacre prisoners, but later treated officers and soldiers with too much preferential treatment, and was impeached countless times.
Recently, rumors about his family's capital of one million are getting worse and worse, but there is no evidence to investigate and the court has no way to deal with it, so he has been dealing with it coldly.
Qin Chongqi listened to Bi Ziyan's words and looked more serious, saying, "Hong Chengchou has two thousand elite cavalry in his hands. The soldiers of Raozhou Prefecture are also his old generals, and there are 5,000 people in total. The emperor, the lord is here. If someone is interested in fueling the fire, it will cause trouble to Jiangxi!"
Bi Ziyan glanced at him and said, "Go and tell everyone who came with me to silence them and pretend that they didn't know anything. When you come to Raozhou Prefecture and Jiangxi, don't care if you ask, don't even care, and you don't have a word."
Qin Chongyi looked at Bi Ziyan, and his eyes flashed strangely.
The current dynasty of the Ming Dynasty is quite sensitive, as if everyone is unpredictable and difficult to guess.
Bi Ziyan saw it, but didn't care. He thought indifferently for a while and said, "When will the emperor expect to arrive at the headquarters?"
Qin Chongkai said: "Originally... it may take about two hours now."
Bi Ziyan said: "Let everyone get up and go to the headquarters with me to wait."
Qin Chongyi was stunned, and he had to go ahead more than two hours later. But then he looked shaking and said, "Yes."
Qin Chongyi was about to leave, but Bi Ziyan said again: "Call Zhang Rongyu."
Qin Chong paused and said, "Yes."
Zhang Rongxiu is the uncle of the queen Zhang Yun. Although he was expelled from the title, his status was there, and he was indispensable for this occasion.
On the other side, Zhu Zonghan had entered Jingdezhen, and a group of men in black surrounded him with an ugly expression.
"Have the news been leaked and Hong Chengchou came to save the dog emperor!"
"The time is so good, I must have planned it long ago. I know that we are the only one who plans!"
"You should give us an explanation!"
A group of people stared at Zhu Zonghan, with a cold expression and murderous intent on his face, without any concealment.
They were all Jurchens. After planning for so long, they were destroyed by Hong Chengchou's sudden appearance.
Zhu Zonghan looked indifferent and turned a blind eye to their threats. When they finished speaking, he slowly said, "Hong Chengchou is not my person, nor is it arranged by me."
Several men in black looked at Zhu Zonghan, and one of them said directly, "Master, are you standing on the side of the Ming Dynasty or on our side?"
Zhu Zonghan's background and identity are quite complicated, and now he is very complicated in his behavior, so they have to question it.
Zhu Zonghan looked around and said, "I have made arrangements for you. Let's go to Nan'annan. I have arranged all the other places, and sent them to Dorgon. In Nan'annan... Be peaceful and don't have any other thoughts."
Several men in black looked at each other, one of them drew his sword, and said coldly: "It seems that you have betrayed us completely, so I will not keep you!"
He was about to rush forward when the crack in the door suddenly stretched out a dozen arrows from the window, lying between them and Zhu Zonghan.
Several men in black looked cold and led the way, "We will not let you go!" After saying that, he quickly turned around and left, disappearing into the darkness.
Zhu Zonghan watched them leave without expression, his eyes were very complicated.
After a moment, one walked in and said, "Sir, you're ready."
Zhu Zonghan glanced at him, walked forward, and said, "Has Miss Chen arranged it?"
"Yes, after the adults leave, the villain will go and faint Miss Chen and personally send her to Jiangning, but..." The guard did not finish his words.
Zhu Zonghan understood, and was silent for a while, saying, "I probably won't be able to survive here. Her path depends on her."
Zhu Zonghan plotted on many things, but he didn't count Chen Rujiao, a love-infatuated woman. At the same time, he was also moved.
The guards responded and accompanied him out of the house, and then Cheng Hei left.
The originally hot night was filled with a silent chill, which enveloped Jingdezhen.
Chen Rujiao, Liu Rushi, Su Xi and the other two went to Jingdezhen first before Zhu Xu and others, but they rested in an inn outside.
Chen Rujiao and Liu Rushi looked at Jingdezhen with different expressions and their own thoughts.
Suddenly, Chen Rujiao turned to look at Liu Rushi, and said with a smile, "Sister, I heard that there is a strange scene in Jingdezhen, where more than ten kilns are burning together at night, gorgeous like fire clouds, reflecting half of the sky, very strange, I can't sleep anyway, so why don't we take a look together?"
Liu Rushi also realized that Chen Rujiao's purpose in this trip was not simple, and she did not point it out, and she hid endless thoughts, and said, "Okay."
Chen Rujiao's smile became more and more beautiful. She handed a package from the room to Su Xi and told her to take good care of it.
So the three of them packed their greetings, left the inn overnight, and rushed to Jingdezhen.
Not long after the three of them left, a man in black sneaked in, carefully investigated, suddenly his face changed slightly, and he whispered: "I've suffered!"
He quickly took it out and quickly chased north.
Bi Ziyan, Zhang Rongxiu, a group of officials of all sizes, as well as some guards of all sizes, and a hundred people, standing outside the plane and waiting quietly.
In the summer, even in Jingdezhen, the sky is getting brighter and hot, and my heart is like a fire.
Bi Ziyan stood in front, holding his hands, expressionless.
Behind him was Zhang Rongsheng. This was the first time he had seen Zhu Xu after being removed from his title. His face was calm, but his hands were constantly shaking.
The so-called "Heavenly Heart Unpredictable" is very well known. Who would have expected that as the queen's uncle, he would act as a father and be the Count, and he would be eliminated if he said he would be eliminated? If it were not for a group of people who would protect him, plus the queen's face, he would be able to escape unscathed.
This time he was called to Jingdezhen by the superiors. It was clearly the emperor who wanted to see him. What was going on?
Other officials of all sizes naturally have their own thoughts and continue to speculate.
The court is now in a dim and unclear way, and the emperor left Beijing for the first time to "refuel the summer heat". What is the hidden truth?
Hong Chengchou's cavalry appeared in his sight, neither too fast nor too slow, and quickly separated in a while to welcome the imperial guards.
The guards separated again, and Zhu Xu's carriage slowly appeared in front of Bi Ziyan and others.
Bi Ziyan's expression moved, he sorted out his clothes, bowed slightly, and waited for Zhu Xu to get off the carriage.
The group of people were almost the same movement, holding their breath and staring at the carriage.
Zhu Xu and Zhang Yuncai were able to get off the carriage, both wearing regular clothes, and a few children came out from behind and stood in front.
Bi Ziyan raised his hand, bowed a long body, and said, "I will meet the emperor, long live my emperor! Meet the queen, the queen, thousand years old!"
Before Bi Ziyan finished speaking, a large group of people followed him to worship, his voice quite loud, and he was not tired of waiting for two hours here.
Zhu Xu looked up at the sky, saw the tired look of a group of people, and said aloud: "No gift!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bi Ziyan and others responded loudly, stood up, and separated the road for Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu came up from the carriage, looked around again, and said, "I am here to escape the summer heat. There is no need for such a big battle. Except for Master Bi Ge and President Zhang, everyone else has dispersed. By the way, officials at all levels in Jiangxi don't need to see you, so you can do whatever you need."
The group of people were stunned and did not expect such an arrangement at all. Finally, they looked at Bi Ziyan.
Bi Zi bowed tightly and said, "Abide by the order."
The others hurriedly followed and said, "Abide by the order."
Many people came with the intention of getting close to Zhu Xu. Seeing that he was so disappointed, he still had to leave.
Cao Huachun and others welcomed Zhu Xu into the headquarters, saying that it was the headquarters, which means that the Ministry of Lishui used the treasury to buy a large courtyard here, which was for some repair and arrangement as Zhu Xu's palace.
Zhang Yun and several children were surprised, so Zhu Xu arranged for them to go to rest first, and took Bi Ziyan and Zhang Rongxi into the side hall.
The three of them sat down. As soon as Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, Bi Ziyan looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "Emperor, I suggest detaining Hong Chengchou first and investigating this matter strictly!"
Zhu Xu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Hong Chengchou made great contributions to rescue the car. What reason should he use to detain him? Are you not worried that Hong Chengchou will be anxious to jump over the wall?"
Hong Chengchou had a problem, and now everyone knows it.
Bi Ziyan said: "With the emperor here, Hong Chengchou doesn't have the courage. If he had, he would have done it before."
Zhang Rongxiu was frightened when he heard this. Hong Chengchou had five thousand soldiers and only two thousand guards. If he suddenly attacked, the surrounding soldiers would not have time to rescue him.
He wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end he didn't dare to speak. He lowered his head, guessing the outcome and possible consequences in his heart.
Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, say it slowly. By the way, Master Bi is waiting for me here. Do you have anything to say to me?"
