Chapter 35 Why are you a commander?
The people from the Jinyiwei were just sent to Luzhou Prefecture.
Raindrops began to fall sparsely in the sky in Zhongdu.
The people who stayed in the yamen in Zhongdu moved very quickly and soon cleaned up the official residence connected to the yamen.
Zhu Zhanji stood in the corridor, looking at the low raindrops in the courtyard in front of him, smashing on the water pavilion in the courtyard, stirring up ripples.
Behind him were Yan Nanfei and Hongyi.
Around him, a Jinyiwei, wearing an embroidered spring sword, glanced around with a torched eyes.
Yan Nanfei endured for a long time and finally asked: "Your Highness, are you going to do something about Fengyang when you transfer the troops of Luzhou Guard?"
Zhu Zhanji shook his head: "I don't know. I'm not sure how rotten the officials in Zhongdu are, and I don't know if these people are still interested in the court. But the eight guards in Zhongdu are in Zhongdu, and there are many more garrisons in other areas in Zhongdu. If Zhongdu really comes and there is a turmoil, the soldiers in Zhongdu will not be used."
Yan Nanfei realized: "Your Highness is preparing for the next step for what may happen?"
Zhu Zhanji nodded: "I have this plan. But who should the sword in the hands of the Luzhou guards point to? Then who will jump out when they see..."
Yan Nanfei didn't know who else jumped out, but in his eyes there was probably no good official in the world. I heard that the cabinet minister Xie Jin, who died a few years ago, was a good official, but he had been dead for a long time. His body died in the snow was no one cared about.
The emperor was very guilty at that time, but he could not change that ending.
Zhu Zhanji also didn't know who would be unable to stand it, and finally jumped out under his own pressure. His mood is very complicated now, hoping that someone will jump out, and not want someone to jump out.
Luo Xiangyang is now completely missing, and his life and death are uncertain, and all the doubts are pointed directly at him. Although another county book died in Zhongdu, Zhu Zhanji always felt that a thick fog was covering the entire Zhongdu.
For no reason, Zhu Zhanji said: "Everyone says spring rain is as expensive as oil. I wonder how much the people can harvest this year's rain?"
Is this talking about the Shandong famine?
Yan Nanfei thought that the Jinyiwei had killed many people in Shandong a few days ago. Some people could not survive and rebel, and some officials deducted food for disaster relief. Many people killed, but the people still did not have enough food.
The court always has many difficulties, but the most difficult one is His Majesty the Emperor, the Crown Prince, the Grandson and others. Yan Nanfei knew very well that the ministers of the court were always unreliable, and were the most honest officials in time. They would also have their own friends in the court and their own interests.
So he, Yan Nanfei, just listened to His Royal Highness, and did whatever the Grandson asked him to do. If the Grandson asked him to kill someone, he would not blink.
Jinyiwei, this should have been the case.
Zhu Zhanji said again: "Have you found out the trends of the White Lotus Sect recently?"
Yan Nanfei looked puzzled: "Since Wu Shoucai was killed by Luo Xiangyang, the White Lotus Sect has disappeared from Zhongdu. Our people have never found where they went..."
Where is Tang Sai'er?
Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but think of what happened to the woman in the unknown alley in Nanjing City that day.
He said, "I always feel that the White Lotus Sect will not hide so simply! Wu Shoucai is the one they buried in Zhongdu, but we cannot guarantee that Wu Shoucai is the only one in Zhongdu. Will other people who have not been found become members of the White Lotus Sect?"
Yan Nanfei nodded in agreement: "The White Lotus Sect has been wandering in Shandong, Shanxi and Huaihe River for a long time. A Wu Shoucai obviously cannot satisfy their appetite. Your Highness, I am sorry that something happened to Luo Qianhu this time will have nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect."
Zhu Zhanji frowned slightly, and after a long time, he gradually calmed down: "So we don't know what happened at that time, but Luo Xiangyang might have happened...or rather, he followed up after something happened that day."
Yan Nanfei dared not answer. If it were said that thieves broke in the yamen of Zhongdu, killed the officials of Zhongdu, and then Luo Xiangyang fought with the other party, and finally the other party escaped, Luo Xiangyang would follow him all the way.
If this is true, Luo Xiangyang will definitely leave marks along the way so that the rest of the Jinyiwei can track them all the way.
But until now, the Jinyiwei has not found any traces left by Luo Xiangyang.
Zhu Zhanji suddenly asked: "Who is responsible for the defense of Fengyang City recently?"
Yan Nanfei pondered for a moment, searching for the relevant answers in his mind, and soon replied: "It's Fengyang Guard, who has been in charge of the guards of Fengyang City recently."
"Fengyang Guard..." Zhu Zhanji muttered and said, "The commander of Fengyang Guard... may have a background in the court. Who is too close to the local officials of Zhongdu?"
The background and situation of the Ming Dynasty officials are the ones who know the best, and the Jinyiwei, who has the responsibilities of supervising officials.
Yan Nanfei immediately replied: "Qi Zi'an, the commander of Fengyang Guard, had no background in the court and was controlled by the Central Army Governor's Office. In Zhongdu, he has always been kind to others, has never made enemies, and has never had deep relationships. He was transferred back from Jiubian, and has already reached a thousand households on Jiubian. Later, he was promoted to the position of commander according to his resume, and then he stayed in Fengyang Guard."
Jiubian is in the north and is stationed along the Great Wall. The Jiubian army has always been the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty. Jiubian has fought against the grassland for a long time. During the imperial court's northern expeditions, except for the officers and soldiers of the three battalions of the capital, the Jiubian army was the main force.
If you can reach the position of a thousand households on the nine sides, your ability will not be bad.
Hearing Yan Nanfei's explanation, Zhu Zhanji became more interested and immediately said: "Send someone to summon the commander of Fengyang Guard Qi Zi'an to see me."
Yan Nanfei immediately took the order and sent someone out of the Left-behind Office to meet Qi Zi'an, the commander of Fengyang Guard.
Soon, Qi Zi'an, dressed in military uniform, entered the left-behind yamen with only two personal soldiers.
It was still under the corridor, and it was still raining outside.
Looking at the clouds piled up in the sky, you know that the rain will not stop for a while.
Zhu Zhanji sat on a chair with a pot of tea next to him. He sat in a red clothes and felt frustrated, worried about when he would be able to eat braised pork today.
Yan Nanfei held the embroidered spring sword on his waist and stood beside Zhu Zhanji.
Next to it is Qi Zi'an, who is still raining on his body.
There is no saying that the people in the army are sitting in a sedan chair, so the grandson summoned him to ride a horse. But some rainfall on his body is nothing, at least it is much better than bloody and flesh.
Qi Zian was burly, with a vicissitudes of nine sides on his face, and a straight and powerful waist. The grandson did not speak, so he stood there silently and did not speak.
The reason why Zhu Zhanji didn't speak was because he was looking at the other party.
