242. Chapter 242 Hiding in peace and begging to be a concubine
"The army is already on its way back!" Li Feng'er opened her eyes wide and looked at this "niece" strangely: "Don't you know?"
"The rebellion..." This was the first time Zhu Yunniang heard the news, and she was immediately confused.
"What a rebellion! The army hasn't arrived yet, but it seems to have been put down by the local officers and soldiers. Yesterday, His Majesty summoned the army to return it!" Li Feng'er had no idea that she had become one of the most well-informed people in the Ming Dynasty.
"Then he also came back with the army?" Zhu Yunniang asked a little uneasily. Liu Feng'er pursed her lips, smiled and glanced at Zhu Yunniang who pretended to be nonchalant: "Which one is he? What you said, Yunniang, I
Why can’t you understand?”
Zhu Yunniang's eyes kept rolling. In front of a good start, she could talk about him without restraint, but in front of his sister, she was too shy to speak.
Seeing Zhu Yunniang's face slowly turning red to a degree visible to the naked eye, Li Feng'er stopped being embarrassed and walked off the swing with a smile. As a result, the maid handed over a handkerchief and gently wiped her sweat: "You are
Say my family is not sick, what’s wrong, has he offended our Yun Niang, so anxiously waiting for him to come back for revenge!"
"Humph!" Zhu Yunniang snorted softly, turned away, and did not answer.
"I seem to have heard that he followed Zhang Yong and the others to Anhua. Although the rebellion there has been put down, it's still a mess and someone has to clean it up!" Li Feng'er smiled and returned the handkerchief: "Early in the morning
He sent the message back, hoping that he would be able to come back before Yanran gave birth to the child!"
Zhu Yunniang's face turned gloomy. She was really envious and jealous of the woman named Yanran. She didn't have the status of a princess, so she was loved and coaxed by others. However, as a princess, when something unhappy happened to her,
, except for talking to Sister Hong, there is no one to talk to.
She didn't even know what she had said vaguely to Li Feng'er. After learning about him, her whole mind was no longer here.
The army has come back, and he has gone to Gansu. It seems that he pretended not to care about what he said at the time, but actually listened to it in his heart. Although he did not achieve great success in suppressing the rebellion, he still succeeded in pursuing and suppressing the rebellion.
The remnants should be able to get some credit for cutting off the rebel gang members.
"Miss, miss!"
Seeing Zhu Yunniang coming out of the garden a little distracted, waiting for a good start outside, he called her gently.
Zhu Yunniang suddenly woke up: "Sister Hong, over in Gansu, is there anyone in our building?"
The good start was startled, and he shook his head slightly. In that bitter cold place, the business of Mingyuan Building could not be done there.
"Miss, what do you want to do?" Suddenly a possibility occurred to him, and he was horrified: "There's a war going on over there right now. Miss, please think clearly!"
"There is no war, and the counter-rebellion army has been recalled. Anyway, my mother is annoying me in the house every day, so I can take this opportunity to go out and have some peace and quiet. Sister Hong, will you help me?"
Zhu Yunniang's eyes were fixed on Kai Hong, and Kai Hong hesitated. She still knew the temperament of her young lady very well. If she shook her head, then next time, she would probably have to look for it on the official road from the capital to Gansu.
There is no trace of her.
"Yeah, but I need to bring a few people with me in the house. If something happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you by myself!"
"Then go and call someone. I'll wait for you here. Let's leave now!" Zhu Yunniang looked at her seriously: "Sister Hong, I believe in you, don't let me down!"
Kai Hong sighed, shook his head, turned and left.
…
Without the delay of the large army, the remaining troops of the counter-rebellion army marched towards Gansu much faster. Towards the end of the month, this group of troops finally arrived in Anhua after a long journey.
At the city gate, General Cao Xiong and guerrilla general Qiu Yue stood in front of the gate, respectfully welcoming the arrival of the imperial army.
In Anhua Fucheng, when Zhu Zhixiu rebelled, a group of officials from the imperial court were kicked out. When Qiu Yue and Cao Xiong and others assessed the rebellion, the officials in the city who had been attached to Zhu Zhixiu during the rebellion were kicked off again. A group of people have been recruited, and now there are basically no high-level civil servants to be found in the city.
Zhang Yong naturally praised these two generals who had made great achievements. While they were chatting, Yang Yiqing led the army into the city and posted notices to calm the people.
In fact, this notice of peace of mind is much more useful when posted outside the city than in the city. In a city that has experienced military disasters, you can imagine what the scene is like. Not to mention the ten rooms and nine empty houses, at least the people in the city are at peace. In comparison, it was less than half. Especially since Anhua was not a prosperous place to begin with, when the army entered the city, except for a few people hurriedly running home on the streets, it was like an empty city.
"This time, General Qiu and General Cao have achieved such unparalleled achievements. The whole court is full of joy. I think the decree of the two Gaoshengs will be issued soon. The Za family is here to congratulate you two!"
"Lucky, lucky, Eunuch Zhang is so complimentary!" The general with a square face was Qiu Yue. Qian Wubing was beside Zhang Yong and didn't say a word, looking at them quietly.
"This lord is..."
Just because he didn't speak didn't mean that Qiu Yue didn't notice him, especially since although he was next to Zhang Yong, his expression definitely didn't look like Zhang Yong's subordinate.
"Oh, this is Mr. Qian of Jinyiwei. Where are Prince Ru and his son?" Zhang Yong said. If it is true that Qiu Yue said that Zhu Chixiu and his son were captured alive, he is used to escorting things. There is no doubt that they are from Jinyiwei. It's time to run an errand, and Qian Wubing is here, so I don't have to worry about running out of things to do.
"Prince Li and his son are now being detained in the palace by the general. It will be great if Lord Qian comes. The general will be relieved!" Qiu Yue said, "The general will send someone now. Bring Mr. Qian there!"
There was no lie in what he said. Someone came to take over this hot potato. He was really relieved. Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion was true, but his surname was Zhu after all. There was no decree from the imperial court. He really didn't know. How to deal with the other party? Even if he is detained like this, he does not dare to go too far. You are not someone who can humiliate a descendant of the Tian family at will.
In particular, he had to guard against the suicide of the two father and son day and night. He reported the credit to the court, but he put down the rebellion and captured Zhu Zhixiu and his son alive. This would have to wait until the court came and he gave them two corpses. , for this huge achievement, I immediately made a big discount, and I saw my future and wealth coming, so I don’t want to bring trouble to myself!
Qian Wubing led the mighty battalion and rushed towards the palace with the people Qiu Yue brought. Just like all the vassal kings with fiefdoms, Zhu Zhixiu's palace was in the most prosperous center of Anhua City. At the gate of the palace, his subordinates soon took over all the defense of the palace. At this time, whether Qian Wubing was curious or not, he had to meet Zhu Chixiu and his son, who had been struggling for more than ten days. At least he had to be sure , these two father and son are still alive and well.
Contrary to Qian Wubing's imagination, Qian Wubing saw Zhu Zhixiu in the study room of the palace after passing through several rooms with faint sounds of crying. He did not look as disheveled and embarrassed as he had imagined. Zhu Zhixiu's clothes Clean and decent, even wearing his royal robes.
Hearing the sound of soldiers' weapons clattering at the door, Zhu Zhixiu, who was reading, raised his head and looked at the young man who walked in.
"See you, Your Majesty!" Qian Wubing bowed slightly, and the words about Beijing made Zhu Zhixiu's eyelids twitch slightly. According to the time, this young man should be from Beijing.
"It won't be the case soon. Don't go along with the story like this!" He put down the book in his hand: "What did you bring, poisonous wine or white silk?"
"Nothing!" Qian Wubing didn't expect the other party to be so bachelor, but he seemed to have made sufficient preparations: "How the court deals with the prince is a matter of the court. Before the court's decree comes down, the prince is still the prince. This But there’s no mistake!”
"Oh!" Zhu Zhixiu glanced at him. Now Qian Wubing could see clearly. The other person's fingers were trembling slightly, and the rising and falling chest under the king's robe betrayed him. This prince is not what he looks like. Calm and composed.
"Where is the crown prince?" Qian Wubing looked around and saw no sign of his son, so he couldn't help but ask.
"That child, hey!" Zhu Zhixiu sighed and pointed towards the next door.
Qian Wubing walked over and took a look through the window lattice. This was what he had imagined. He saw a young man who was dressed luxuriously but looked slovenly. He was sitting on the ground in a daze. He was sluggish, still mumbling something to himself, and it looked like he had lost his mind and gone crazy.
Seeing him turn around, Zhu Zhixiu spoke: "I am afraid that my lineage as the Prince of Anhua County will be cut off from now on. I cannot blame anyone for this!"
Qian Wubing stood there quietly and said nothing.
It was not surprising that Zhu Zhixiu had such an attitude towards him. Instead, he asked him with great interest, "Are you sent by that yamen, the Ministry of War? Dali Temple, or Jin Yiwei?"
"Jinyiwei Nanya!" Qian Wubing replied dully.
"Oh!" Zhu Zhixiu was not surprised by this answer, "It seems that I still have a chance to go to the capital, and it is actually someone from your Nanya who is here!"
Qian Wubing was about to leave. After saying these few words to a dying man, he felt that he should leave.
"Wait!" Zhu Zhixiu stopped him, "Looking at your young age, you should not be married yet! I have a beautiful girl. In this case, although she was not guilty of death, the court was downgraded. It must be miserable, so if you don't mind it, how about I promise it to you?"
Qian Wubing stood still and looked at him coldly: "I'm already married!"
"Then I can give it to you as a concubine!" Zhu Zhixiu was obviously a little anxious: "I will definitely not ask you to take this risk in vain. There are some things that even Qiu Yue's white-eyed wolf cannot do now. Got it!"
