As the number one civil servant, Yan Shenggong's mansion has many sources of support.

The appearance of Yi Zhan also means that Yan Shenggong has left the palace.

"Where is he going?"

Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.

Tang Keke frowned: "Kong Ne never goes out except for giving lectures at home. It is even more important to rely on him like this. Except... except for going to Beijing to see His Majesty, there is no other possibility."

Zhang Zhiyuan's heart tightened: "Are you going to Beijing to have an audience?"

Tang Keke looked at Duke Yan Shengyi who had not yet come out from the gate of Confucius Mansion, shook his head and said: "We can't stop him from leaving here."

Zhang Zhiyuan turned around with a cold expression on his face: "Let me go."

In front of Confucius Mansion.

Kong Gong Jianzheng and the Kong family sent his father, now Yansheng Gong Kong Ne, out of the house.

Kong Ne is only in his thirties this year, and he is elegant and respectful. There is only a faint dark color under his eyes, but it shows that he probably has not slept well recently.

Duke Yan Sheng's supporters had already gathered outside the mansion, and Kong Gongjian and his clan members came forward.

"My father is leaving here, and it will take several months. I hope that my father will take good care of his health. The clan elders are there for everything at home, and my son will discuss it with his clan members again and again. My father will go south to Beijing to see His Majesty, so there is no need to worry about everything at home."

Kong Gongjian's face was very ugly, his eyes were bloodshot and his eyelids were dark gray.

This is caused by not sleeping well.

And the reason...

Kong Gongjian looked at the high walls erected in the distance outside the mansion, and the trenches dug deeper and wider.

Kong Ne didn't say much. As the contemporary Yan Shenggong, he was the head of the Kong family and the head of the world's cultural heritage. It's just that the Kong family needed to hide their clumsiness more often and would rather stay in Qufu than in Yingtian Dynasty.

There is too much exposure in the hall.

"Everything should be considered in the light of eternity."

Kong Na left a few words, and then quietly stepped onto the sedan amidst the respectful greetings of the Kong family members.

The guard of honor was laid out, and there were hundreds of people in procession, just to send Kong Ne into the capital.

Kong Gongjian's eyes dropped, thinking back on the words his father had just left when he was leaving.

At the front, the procession entering Beijing for an audience has already headed south.

Perhaps it was because everyone was exhausted these days. After sending Kong Ne away, the clan members of the Kong family turned around and breathed their last breaths and returned home. Only Kong Gongjian watched the retreating honor guard and headed toward the army formation five miles away.

Go forward.

The officers and soldiers had already received military orders and sent Shenggong Yan to go south to Yingtian.

When the honor guard arrived in front of the formation, the officers and soldiers had already moved the obstacles on the road that had not been trenched to both sides.

Kong Ne opened the curtain of the sedan chair and looked outside at the officers and soldiers who were heading south from Peking Dusi. He glanced around and saw no sign of the generals, so he hummed twice and lowered the curtain.

Not far away, Tang Keke and Zhang Zhiyuan stood side by side.

The two of them just stood in the blind spot of Kong Ne's sight, but it did not prevent them from watching the honor guard of Duke Yan go south.

"Yanshenggong goes south to Beijing, what should we do?" Tang Keke muttered in a low voice.

The army came to Shandong Road and surrounded Confucius' mansion. However, military and horse spies were sent out every day, but they could not figure out the movements of the rebels.

Just as Zhang Zhiyuan was about to speak, military scouts rode over from afar.

When the officers and soldiers arrived not far in front of Zhang Zhiyuan, they already reined in their horses and jumped off the horses with strong bodies.

The officers and soldiers quickly arrived in front of Zhang Zhiyuan, knelt on the ground, clasped their fists with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Report to the general, the Emperor Taisun's team has arrived thirty miles to the west."

"His Royal Highness is here!" Tang Keke was surprised, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

Zhang Zhiyuan also looked tense: "Have you ever found out whether His Highness came in person?"

The officer and soldier replied: "It is indeed His Highness Taisun. There is no doubt that he is accompanied by a group of officers and soldiers in royal robes. I saw with my own eyes that His Highness Taisun showed up."

Zhang Zhiyuan looked back at Tang Keke, his eyes full of doubts: "Why is Your Highness here at this time?"

Tang Keke pushed him: "What do you want to do with this? It's better to quickly bring someone with you to greet His Highness!"

Zhang Zhiyuan was reminded and hurriedly called to the people on his left and right. After a while, the soldiers brought the horse over. He got on the horse and in the blink of an eye, dozens of horses galloped away to the west.

Confucius Mansion is thirty miles away to the west.

More than a thousand officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Guard and more than a thousand officers and soldiers of the Horse Camp guarded the emperor's grandson's chariot, and they also had to take into account the safety of Qin Shizi and Yan Shizi.

Since entering Shandong Road, the officers and soldiers have not dared to let the nobles leave their sight.

Ma Hongqing didn't quite understand why he should have returned to the army under the command of Marquis Xiping, but instead became the personal bodyguard of the emperor's grandson.

In the chariot that could accommodate several people, Zhu Yunxi was leaning on a soft pillow, holding a storybook in his hand and reading it with relish.

Zhu Shangbing grasped the car window with both hands and stretched his head out of the car from time to time, peering out at the scenery outside.

Zhu Gaochi was sitting in the carriage with no book in his hand. He just held a cup of tea and took a sip from time to time.

He looked at Zhu Yunxi, who was reading the unknown script, and said, "Now that we are here, the script should be put away and replaced with the Four Books and Five Classics. Even if it's just a pretense, you still have to do it."

Zhu Yunxi smashed the storybook in his hand on the bill, and shouted angrily: "Hanwu is good at everything, but this is the reason why he doesn't have a long-term vision!"

"There are both good and bad, how can there be anything that is comprehensive?" Zhu Gaochi interrupted and explained: "At least, since the Han Dynasty, we in China have had the saying of the son of the Han family. This is the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and the Ten When the country was established, the Central Plains could still recreate the roots of orthodoxy.”

Zhu Yunxi narrowed his eyes slightly: "This time, I will come in person to give them some dignity. If they don't want it, then they won't want it at all."

At this time, Zhu Shangbing retracted his head from the outside, turned around and said: "Zhang Zhiyuan came here with someone. He came in a hurry. He was probably worried that you would reprimand him."

Zhu Gaochi was the first to speak: "I should have been given a warning. The army has been out for more than a month, but it has not achieved even an inch of success and has only wasted food and grass. Is Zhang Zhiyuan a living person?"

Zhu Yunxi did not speak, but the sound of horse hooves outside the chariot had already come closer, and Zhang Zhiyuan's voice also came in.

"The last general, the commander of the Peking Capital Division, Qian Shi, and the commander of the Guard Division of Prince Yan's Mansion, Zhang Zhiyuan, see His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun."

"The last general has been rebelling against Shandong Road for many months. He has betrayed the emperor's favor and betrayed His Highness's trust. I ask Your Majesty to punish the last general."

Zhang Zhiyuan's voice asking for forgiveness came from outside the carriage.

Zhu Gaochi in the car twitched his brows twice, while Zhu Shangbing opened a corner of the car window curtain.

Zhu Yunxi said softly: "I have no plans to change generals before the battle. I just came here this time to see some things with my own eyes. General Zhang, please help me escort me to pay homage to the statue of Saint Confucius."

His Highness Taisun is going to Confucius Mansion.

Zhang Zhiyuan, who was outside the chariot, was a little surprised when he heard the sound, but he still raised his hands and said loudly: "The last general takes orders."

The team continues to move forward.

By noon, a team of thousands of people had appeared in front of the Confucius Mansion.

Zhu Yunxi led Xiaopang and Xiaohan out of the carriage and stepped onto the land in front of the Confucius Mansion. He looked around at the wooden walls and ditches with a smile on his face.

"You are wasting your gunpowder."

Tang Keke, who also rushed over, bowed his head and whispered back: "It's all a helpless move to realize the military strategy."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and looked at Zhang Zhiyuan, who looked a little nervous. He hummed: "The little murderer outside the border can't do anything when he reaches Shandong Road. Is it because he is afraid or has some worries? As a general, you must be less

With these considerations in mind, just focus on military matters and move forward without hesitation."

Zhang Zhiyuan bowed his head and looked like he was being taught.

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "Let someone knock on the door, just say that the emperor's grandson of the Ming Dynasty wants to pay a visit."

Zhang Zhiyuan immediately arranged for his soldiers to go to the door of Confucius' mansion and bang the door.

Zhu Yunxi said in a low voice: "Originally, I didn't intend to come here. I just watched you suffer here for many months without achieving anything. If it takes longer, I won't be able to explain to you anymore. So,

It was only after the Henan Road was initially established that I changed my route here."

Zhang Zhiyuan became more and more respectful, bending down and lowering his head. Tang Keke beside him was also very respectful, but his face and corners of his mouth were filled with smiles.

Your Highness is here, and he wants to visit the Kong family.

The situation in Shandong Road is probably about to be resolved.
