Zhu Yunwen is gone after all.

In the early morning when no one was paying attention, he rode a horse and brought a knife and a jug of wine that he wanted.

In addition, the military arsenal document also prepared a bow, a crossbow, and a gun for him, a total of sixty bows and arrows, and sixty crossbow arrows.

Fortunately, the horse Zhu Yunwen rode was very powerful and powerful, and with these equipment, the horse did not feel tired when running.

Because of the rebellion in Taiyuan City, there were few people on the official roads outside Taiyuan City.

It was at noon after the snow that Zhu Yunwen was walking on the official road to the north in the sunshine.

No one sent him off, and no one stopped him.

It's just on the upper gate of Yuanmen City, North Town, Taiyuan City.

A few people were standing quietly behind the city wall, silently watching the people riding on the official road outside the city.

Zhu Yunxi changed his clothes and wore a pure black cloak over an indigo coat. He held one hand in both hands to warm the stove. Surrounded by several people, he looked calmly at Zhu Yunwen who was traveling north.

Jin Wang Zhu Fan frowned.

He didn't agree with letting Zhu Yunwen go north alone to go out of the customs and search for Liu Zongsheng and others on the vast grassland.

Not to mention the vastness of the grassland, where can one find enemies?

Even if Zhu Yunwen met Liu Zongsheng and others, how would he take revenge?

Gao Yangzhi had some admiration in his eyes.

What he was originally worried about did not happen. The cripple did not resent his great-grandson because of the missing child. It was the best result that it did not bring any bad influence to the clan in such a stormy time.

Gao Yangzhi stared at Zhu Yunxi's back, which had reached the end of the official road and was getting further away.

He sang in a low voice with a solemn expression.

"I advise you to drink another glass of wine. There will be no old friends when you leave Yangguan in the west."

Wang Xinling, the young governor of the General Affairs Department, tilted his head and looked sideways at the senior who was also young but already in the cabinet.

Gao Yangzhi looked sideways with a smile on his face: "If he can return to the Central Plains safely, I will add another beauty to the supreme glory of the Ming Dynasty."

Wang Xinling nodded in understanding.

The Central Plains has never lacked stories of heroes and heroic feats.

Zhu Yunwen went out alone to seek revenge.

No matter what the outcome is, as long as he can come back, he will become a hero in the whole world.

Zhu Yunxi sighed softly, holding the hand heater and turning his arms.

Zhang Hui, the official of the Hundred Households of Jinyiwei who was waiting by the side, immediately bowed forward and carefully took the heater handed over by the emperor's grandson.

The governor Sun Cheng and the secret guard Tian Mai, because they failed to stop Liu Zongsheng and other White Lotus rebels in Taiyuan City, are also rushing to the border.

Taisun's decree cannot be changed.

Before these rebels are found, it is probably impossible for the two of them to return to their grandson.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Hui temporarily got the opportunity to work beside Zhu Yunxi.

After delivering the heater, Zhu Yunxi sighed softly: "I just hope he won't leave."

"Your Highness is kind, but this is the best result."

Gao Yangzhi comforted in a low voice.

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "I don't know, it's just..."

He rarely showed some indecision.

Zhu Fan gave a cold shout, raised his hand and patted Zhu Yunxi on the shoulder, glaring and saying: "This is Brother Wen's own choice. Besides, at the moment, there are still many things in Taiyuan City and Shanxi Road that need you to take charge of.

Don’t hesitate too much anymore.”

Zhu Yunxi nodded and looked at Gao Yangzhi: "Is everything going well now?"

Gao Yangzhi immediately replied: "Zhang Baihu is leading interrogations in each yamen in Taiyuan City, and there are no officials left behind in the city. The officials accompanying the Northern Inspection Patrol have also begun to take over the affairs of each yamen, and I think they will be able to get started in a few days.

The Shanxi merchants and gentry who participated in the rebellion in Taiyuan City have also been confiscated one by one, and people from the Ministry of Household Affairs are counting the money, money, and food everywhere. Because the amount is large and the distribution is wide, it will take a few days to sort it out."

"Where is the Taiyuan City garrison?"

Zhu Yunxi asked another question.

Compared with Shanxi Road's officialdom and the confiscation of Shanxi merchants and gentry's money and food, the stability of Shanxi Road's soldiers and horses is more important.

This was a matter for the military. Gao Yangzhi closed his mouth and looked sideways at Jingchuan Marquis Cao Zhen who had been silent for a long time.

Cao Zhen immediately stepped forward and raised his fists with a snap: "Back to Your Highness, with the assistance of Shanxi Daodu Commander Sidu Commander Qianshi Wei Ben, there are people in the Taiyuan City garrison who have connections with the rebels.

He was found out and handed over to Jin Yiwei for interrogation.

Wei Bi also handed over the list of Shanxi Guards that he knew had had dealings with the rebels in the past few years. As for the remaining ones that he did not know about, the Jinyi Guards interrogated and traced them through existing people."

Zhu Yunxi frowned in thought, gently turning the white jade finger on his thumb.

After a while, he spoke again: "Ask the soldiers and horses of the guards of the Taiyuan Prefecture to switch defenses with the Henan Road Guards. Tell Yu Ma to control the soldiers and horses of the Shanxi Road first, and wait until the Jinyi Guards find out.

Take them one by one.

I ordered the Marquis of Xiping, Muying, to lead his troops back to the capital and take turns. He transferred the three guards from the Zhou Palace and the Qin Palace to Taiyuan. When the morale of the Shanxi army is not stable, Zhongliang still needs to be in charge to deter Xiaoxiao."

Gao Yangzhi and Cao Zhen looked at each other and bowed at the same time.

"I accept my order."

Zhu Yunxi said again: "I ordered the Chief Envoy of Jiaozhi Road to allocate this year's autumn grain to Peiping and hand it over to the Beiping Dusi for transfer to Datong Prefecture."

After several edicts in succession, the latest edict from Taisun made everyone present hesitate.

Gao Yangzhi raised his head and stared solemnly at the young but already mature and experienced emperor grandson in front of him.

Cao Zhen looked excited.

Zhu Fan rubbed his hands.

If everything goes well, when the grain and grass from Jiaozhi Road arrive in Datong, and when spring starts next year and the snow melts outside the pass and the road becomes solid, it will be time for Zhu Yunxi to personally lead his troops to the north to conquer the grasslands and drive out the remnants of the Yuan thieves.

As long as the emperor's original decree was there, no one could raise objections.

In fact, several people knew it vaguely in their hearts.

After this northern patrol, Taisun will probably officially take over the military and political affairs of the empire.

In the capital, the emperor is rarely seen in the recent newspapers. On weekdays, all the affairs of the court are left to the prince to take care of.

No one is sure whether the emperor will suddenly announce to the world that he will abdicate and give way to the prince one day.

When that time comes, the grandson of the emperor in front of him will naturally become the crown prince.

The prince lives in the middle palace and cannot leave easily.

Before that, this northern patrol could be said to be Zhu Yunxi's last opportunity to act in such a big way.

Stabilizing the Wara tribe and conquering the Tatar tribe were the most important reasons for Zhu Yunxi's tour to the north of Beijing.

At a time when everyone has different thoughts.

Officers and soldiers rushed over from the bottom of the city tower and knelt on the ground in front of Zhu Yunxi.

"I would like to report to Your Highness that there is a man from the Tatar tribe who claims to be an envoy and wishes to meet with Your Highness to discuss the matter of conquering the Oara tribe in the west."

The officers and soldiers didn't know what happened on the tower just now.

After he finished speaking.

Everyone, including Zhu Yunxi, had strange expressions.

The people of the Tatar tribe said that they would join the Ming Dynasty in conquering the Oara tribe in the west.

It's really a big joke.

Not to mention, there were still a group of Tatar envoys in Taiyuan City at this time.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the people around him.

Zhu Fan immediately sneered and said: "The people who invaded the palace this time were a group of outsiders. I think this group of people couldn't escape, so in order to protect themselves, they pretended to be envoys."

Gao Yangzhi was also a little surprised: "If it was really an envoy, the border officials should have reported it early."

Cao Zhen spoke concisely and concisely: "Your Highness, you give the order, and I will chop off the heads of these thieves right now!"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and waved his hand.

He walked to the inside of the city wall and looked down from above.

I saw a group of Tatars guarding two men below the city tower.

With a sneer on his face, Zhu Yunxi never looked back and asked in a low voice: "Have all the thieves been found and convicted in the city?"

Gao Yangzhi stepped forward and answered: "The law of the Ming Dynasty states that if anything involves rebellion or serious rebellion, regardless of whether the master or subordinate is involved, everyone will be killed."

Zhu Yunxi nodded with satisfaction: "Then please invite these 'Tatar envoys' to the school grounds in the city."
