Chapter 33: The Central Capital
Outside Fengyang City, Zhongdu, a team of more than a hundred people brought two or three hundred war horses.
The people inside and outside the city gate looked at the team far away. For nothing else, the flying fish suits on these people were enough to shock a bunch of sluts, let alone ordinary people.
Under the city gate, there are only a few remaining officials from Zhongdu, who have been waiting for a long time with officers, soldiers and yamen runners.
If such a big thing happened in Zhongdu, the court will naturally pay attention to it. These days, almost everyone in Zhongdu's remaining officials are in danger. On the one hand, they are afraid that they will be killed by evil people. On the other hand, they are worried that the court will feel that they are not trustworthy.
Yan Sui, deputy of the Zhongdu Left-behind Office, led two commanders and officials of the Judicial Department, including Fengyang, Fengyangzhong, Fengyangyou, Huangling, Liuwanglei, Liuwangzhong, Changhuai, Huaiyuan and other eight guard commanders.
The people had a little nervousness and a little relieved. Even though they were thinking for a long time, they finally squeezed out a dim smile, lined up and pulled out a banner at the head of the city gate.
The team of more than a hundred people had already driven the horses to the city gate. The war horses carried by the team had long been led by the officers and soldiers of the Fengyang Guards to aside, feed and drink water.
Yan Sui hurriedly walked forward again with his colleagues, and came to the team respectfully raised his hand and bent down to salute: "Sei Guan Zhongdu Liegu Yan Sui, deputy of the Liegu Office, brought the officials of Zhongdu to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Grand Prince."
Zhu Zhanji sat high on the horse's back and looked at the red clothes beside her, and saw her snorting coldly. It was obvious that he was a little dissatisfied with the officials of Zhongdu at this time, and his flattery and flattering manner.
Zhu Zhanji had to roll his eyes. He had been slandering himself in Nanjing City, but he never mentioned this woman after all, so he had to take her to Zhongdu with him to eat braised pork for a full month.
The Taisun did not speak, and Yan Sui could only continue to lead his subordinates and keep his body swaying.
At this time, Zhu Zhanji looked at the only senior official who had survived.
I saw Yan Sui, the deputy who stayed in the middle of the city, was probably in his forties and looked naturally Zhou Zheng. Her face with a national character has always been very popular in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.
Yan Sui saw the grandson looking at him with scrutiny, so the smile on his face became brighter and his posture became more restrained and cautious.
"Your Highness, you have finally come. When you come, we all have a backbone!" Yan Sui was very low and said very politely: "The Zhongdu stayed in the department and prepared some wine. Your Highness and the adults of the Jinyiwei were running all the way. It is time to take a good rest first."
As he spoke, Yan Sui looked carefully at the Jinyiwei Qianhu Yan Nanfei on the other side of Zhu Zhanji. At this time, there was a little more nervousness in his respectful gaze.
This is the gaze that officials of the Ming Dynasty would have when they saw the Jinyiwei.
Yan Nanfei ignored the respect of the deputy left behind in Zhongdu. He was from the Jinyiwei and did not need to care about the respect of local officials. What's more, he is now a grandson, and this time he was the grandson, so he had no intention of speaking.
Zhu Zhanji cleared his throat: "There are so many things happening in the past few days, and you all have worked hard, and the court will remember the contributions made by the adults to the Ming Dynasty."
Hearing His Royal Highness the Grand His Majesty say, from Yan Sui, the smiles on the faces of officials from all walks of life in Zhongdu became even more intense.
The court is sure that they have no credit and hard work. Perhaps after the matter of Zhongdu is settled, the court will not hold them too responsible.
He was still wearing bright red clothes on the side, and he still hummed coldly, not caring about these hypocritical and polite words in the officialdom.
Yan Sui seemed even more enthusiastic: "Look at me, your Highness and you all want to enter the city."
Officials from Zhongdu made their debut, and Zhu Zhanji brought the people from the Jinyiwei, Yan Nanfei and other Jinyiwei straight into Fengyang City.
There is also a royal palace in Fengyang City, but Zhu Zhanji did not intend to move in. The officials in Zhongdu should not arrange banquets in Zhongdu Palace. Everyone happily entered the Zhongdu Left-behind Office.
As soon as he entered the yamen, Zhu Zhanji stopped.
Yan Sui was stunned and asked carefully: "Is Taisun...is it... another arrangement?"
Zhu Zhanji's face was plain: "Where is the place where the left-behind Zhongdu and the magistrates of various counties were assassinated?"
Upon hearing this, all the officials in Zhongdu changed their faces, and Yan Sui's hand tucked under his sleeves into fists. Originally, everyone was heading for a peaceful beginning, but who would have thought that Taisun ignored the usual rules in the officialdom, and instead started to investigate the case of Zhongdu immediately.
There was finally a smile on Hongyi's face.
Yan Nanfei waved his hand, and the Jinyiwei, who had already been ready outside the yamen, immediately rushed in with the embroidered sabre.
Suddenly, the faces of the officials in the city changed drastically.
At first they knew that the court would send people, but they were still frightened, but later they heard that His Highness the Grandpa was coming, so they immediately gave him a breath. The Grandpa was still young, so the court sent him to clean up the mess of Zhongdu. When the court arranged the alternate officials of Zhongdu, they would naturally return to Nanjing.
The court used the grandson to stabilize the temporary chaos in Zhongdu. The grandson achieved political achievements, and the remaining officials in Zhongdu were exempted from punishment, and the three parties had a good situation.
But now, who would have thought that His Royal Highness of the Ming Dynasty did not seem to intend to be a flag guarding the side of Zhongdu.
Instead, we must make the situation in the middle even more messed up.
Yan Sui's face was also ugly. He was now the highest-ranking official in Zhongdu. Taisun said that just now, he ended up as his deputy left-behind face.
However, as a group of Jinyiwei rushed into the yamen, some officials could no longer withstand the pressure brought by Jinyiwei, and someone pointed at the hall in front.
"Just...just there...that day...that day..."
This man was so scared by the Jinyiwei that he couldn't speak completely.
But, it is enough.
When Yan Nanfei heard this, he immediately pointed his hand forward.
The Jinyiwei rushed over in groups, and the wooden door in the hall was kicked open violently.
The hall was empty and nothing, probably because it had been wasted for some days, and a layer of floating ashes had fallen on the ground.
The footsteps of the Jinyiwei stepped into it, and a piece of dust immediately splashed.
"Return to Taisun, Lord Qianhu, there is nothing in the hall." An Jinyiwei returned and reported loudly.
At this time, without Zhu Zhanji speaking, Yan Nanfei immediately frowned and asked the Zhongdu officials in a deep voice: "Who moved here!"
With Yan Nanfei's murderous inquiry, the officials present were shocked, and even Yan Sui couldn't help but shook.
Seeing that the officials in Zhongdu kept silent, Zhu Zhanji spoke at the right time: "Yan Nanfei, what should we do to destroy the scene of the incident?"
Yan Nanfei's tone was cold: "Chun!"
With only one word "Zhun", more than half of the officials present were like falling into an ice cellar and fell on the ground.
Yan Sui, deputy of the Zhongdu Left-behind Office, had a cold sweat oozing from his fist hidden in his sleeves. He began to be scared. Everyone in the Zhongdu officials present had their share in this matter, and in the end they could not be involved in him.
The embroidered spring sword of the Jinyiwei has already come out!
In an instant, everyone is in danger.
Chapter completed!
