According to Ming Dynasty law, local officials are not allowed to leave their territory without permission.

The arrival of the magistrates of the three counties of Taiyuan Prefecture made Zhu Yunxi, who had always been ostentatious in order to let everyone know about his arrival, somewhat unexpected.

The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard who were opening the way had already given way to both sides on the official road.

Zhu Yunxi held the reins and let the horse move forward.

Gao Yangzhi, who was following behind with the reins in his hand, said in a low voice: "Are you asking Marquis Jingchuan to sneak into Taiyuan City through a secret passage with his troops and horses?"

To capture the thief first, capture the king. If the tunnel Zhu Yunwen asked Zhang Hui to dig in Taiyuan City was not for him to escape from Taiyuan City, then the only thing left to do is to allow people outside the city to escape the attention of those in Taiyuan City and quietly

He entered the city silently.

A troop of soldiers and horses that suddenly appeared in Taiyuan City could do many things.

Before the people in the city react, they can go to arrest people one by one according to the list given by Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at Gao Yangzhi: "It seems that the second brother Gu is becoming more and more wise now."

Gao Yangzhi smiled.

It would be best if Zhu Yunwen can stay like this forever, otherwise, the more intelligent he is, the less likely he will be able to survive.

This was deeply hidden in Gao Yangzhi's heart, and he whispered: "Your Highness, officials from the three counties are here."

In front of the official road.

Officials from Qi County, Taigu County, and Xugou County in Taiyuan Prefecture came forward hand in hand with their faces full of glory and their demeanor respectful and humble.

"I am the magistrate of Qi County, Taiyuan Prefecture."

"I am the magistrate of Taigu County, Taiyuan Prefecture."

"I am the magistrate of Xugou County, Taiyuan Prefecture."

"See His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson."

"I will see His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson."

Led by the magistrates of the three counties, a group of officials from the three counties bowed in front of Zhu Yunxi's horse.

Looking at the group of blowflies in front of him, Zhu Yunxi showed a smile on his face.

He turned the riding crop in his hand and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The magistrate of the three counties stood up and looked up at Zhu Yunxi who was sitting on the horse, with excitement and nervousness in his eyes.

With a huge smile on his face, the Qi County Magistrate bowed forward and said with cupped hands: "I, the Qi County Magistrate, in the name of the Magistrate of Taiyuan, respectfully request to escort His Highness into Taiyuan City."

An order from Taiyuan Prefecture?

Zhu Yunxi glanced sideways at Gao Yangzhi beside him.

Gao Yangzhi immediately smiled at the Qi County magistrate from the side and said: "Taiyuan Prefecture is very loyal and respectful, and actually asked you three counties to come together to invite you."

With the order from Taiyuan Prefecture, the magistrates of the three counties can naturally travel abroad to meet each other.

The magistrate of Taigu County stepped forward and bowed to explain: "Taiyuan Prefecture heard that Taisun was patrolling the Shanxi Road from the north, heading for the border pass of Datong. It was the beginning of winter at this time, and the border pass was covered with heavy snow, making the journey difficult and difficult. Taiyuan Prefecture has already

Prepare the food, grass and cotton clothes needed for the army. After the army horses are redressed, Dusi Yamen will order the Taiyuan guards to clear the way and escort His Highness to the Datong border."

"Taiyuan Mansion is interested."

Zhu Yunxi folded his hands on the horse's back, looked down and spoke calmly.

The magistrate of Xugou County nodded and said: "The chief envoy heard that His Highness was coming to Taiyuan and rushed back from Baode to Taiyuan City. The commander-in-chief has finished his inspection of Zhenwuwei and Yanmen Pass from Daizhou in advance and returned to Taiyuan City."

Baode is located in the northwest corner of Taiyuan Prefecture. Just outside the city is the Yellow River, and opposite it is Daofu Gu County, Shaanxi Province.

Zhenwuwei and Yanmen Pass are both in Daizhou, and to the north is the Xiawushan section of the Great Wall.

The two chief officers of the third division of Shanxi Province, Wen and Wu, were all rushing back to Taiyuan City.

Zhu Yunxi turned his eyes and said softly: "I'm just passing through Shanxi Road. How can I ask the Third Division to put down military affairs and come back just for me?"

The magistrate of Qi County said: "Your Highness is a man of great wealth. Our country is the capital of the country. This time you are out of the capital to patrol the north. We have traveled thousands of miles to the capital in Shanxi Province. The third minister has not been to the capital for a long time. I take this opportunity to ask about the government of Your Highness."

Zhu Yunxi patted the back of his hand with his fingers, and looked at the magistrate of the three counties of Taiyuan Prefecture in front of him with a faint gaze.

There is nothing wrong with these remarks and explanations.

He is the grandson of the emperor who oversees the country, and the old man has given him the decree to control the local civil and military affairs. The chief officer of the Third Division of Shanxi Province knew that he was coming, and he wanted to come to see him in terms of emotions, reasons and politics.

only.

These people, as soon as they met, asked them to go to Taiyuan City, and even appointed magistrates from three counties to wait to welcome them.

Knowing the current situation in Shanxi Province, Zhu Yunxi found it difficult not to think that the magistrates of these three counties had already surrendered to the traitors.

As a matter of fact, the Shanxi Taoist envoy and the capital commander who were rushing back to Taiyuan City were probably inextricably linked to the traitors.

Kick, kick, kick.

The sound of horse hooves came from behind.

Before Cao Zhen arrived, his rough voice could already be heard.

"The headquarters is heading north to Datong. If there is no way to enter the city, the local government only needs to prepare the food and fodder needed for the army."

When Cao Zhen spoke, his voice was as loud as a war drum on a military formation, buzzing and deafening.

Wearing armor and riding a horse, he arrived in front of the team. He sat on the horse and held a riding whip in both hands. He cupped his fists and said: "Your Highness, since the people from Taiyuan Prefecture are here, you can ask them to tell the Chief Envoy of Shanxi Province to help our troops."

Prepare a month's supply of food and grass and send it to Datong."

The expressions on the faces of the magistrates of the three counties present changed slightly.

Now the entire Shanxi Province knows that since the Emperor Taisun entered Shanxi Province, all local officials passing by must prepare food and grass for him for three to five days.

But now Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen wants Shanxi Dao to raise food and grass for a whole month.

This does not look like the Northern Patrol is on its way, but it looks like it is going out for a conquest.

The magistrate of Qixian County said slowly: "The Marquis of Jingchuan needs a month's supply of grain and grass. It may be difficult to raise it in Shanxi Province for a while, and it will take some time to mobilize. I thought that I would send a letter to Taiyuan City today and wait for His Highness Taisun to enter the city.

After a few days of rest, we can raise enough food and fodder for the army."

Cao Zhen looked stern and hummed: "The army is out there and the troops are so fast. How can we be delayed by food and grass? You and Shanxi Road..."

His voice suddenly broke off.

Zhu Yunxi raised his hand, glanced at Cao Zhen, and told him to lower his head immediately.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the magistrates of the three counties in front of him.

"Is the lonely Third Uncle Wang in Taiyuan City now?"

The magistrate of Qi County immediately replied: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has not left the city recently."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As he said this, the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture raised his head and looked at the emperor's grandson on horseback with confusion.

Zhu Yunxi looked thoughtful and said softly: "I just remembered that the birthday of Uncle Third King is coming soon."

The birthday of King Zhu Fan of the Jin Dynasty is November 18th.

Counting the days, it's almost here.

And Zhu Yunxi knew this very well.

However, the magistrate of Qi County thought that Zhu Yunxi didn't know the specific date, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Back to Your Highness, King Jin's birthday is on November 18th, and it's almost the date."

The magistrate of Taigu County on the side immediately said: "Your Highness is coming to Taiyuan this time. You can go to the city to rest for a few days, and then continue north to Datong Pass after King Jin's birthday."

Zhu Yunxi patted the back of his hand gently: "It's been a long time since I last saw Uncle Three Kings."

The magistrate of Xugou County looked at Zhu Yunxi's appearance and thought that he wanted to stay in Taiyuan City for a while to wait for the birthday of King Jin.

He couldn't help but smile and said: "Your Highness, please come to the city to rest for some time."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and looked at the Xugou County Magistrate with a deep look: "Let's go on our way first."

Immediately, he lightly twitched his riding whip, and the war horse beneath him stepped on its hooves again.

Officials from the three counties immediately stepped aside.

Looking at Zhu Yunxi, who had not given any decision as to whether he wanted to enter Taiyuan City in the end, walking north on the official road surrounded by a group of Northern Patrol officials and Jin Yiwei officers and soldiers in front of everyone, the three county magistrates looked at each other silently.

With one glance, Jin urged the people below to lead their horses over, and followed the Northern Patrol officials from a distance to follow the large team.

"The magistrates of the three counties may have been involved, but it is also possible that they were just following orders."

On the official road to Taiyuan City, in front of the team advancing again, Gao Yangzhi said with a faint look in his eyes.

Wang Xinling echoed in a low voice from the side: "According to past knowledge, the magistrates of the three counties are not people with independent opinions. I guess they should act according to orders."

Gao Yangzhi turned back to look at this young fellow disciple with a smile on his face.

He couldn't help but think of another person.

Zou Xueyu, the prefect of Yingtian.

Gao Yangzhi said: "Taiyuan Prefecture is the administrative office of Shanxi Province. In the three counties, there are not only Taiyuan Prefecture yamen, but also three divisions, academic administration and other bureaucracies. As long as any yamen says so, the county magistrate below Taiyuan Prefecture
