Daming: From the end of Hongwu

time flies.

Just when Lanyu entered Yingtian Mansion and arrived in the capital in half a day, Hou Yesheng of Jingning was executed for the crime of disorderly party, and at the same time his nobles were confiscated and his family property was confiscated.

This matter quickly caused a commotion among the capital.

And Yan Wang, who was in charge of arresting Ye Sheng, guarded thousands of households. After being released by Zhu Yuanzhang, he actually issued an order in public to be named as the guest of honor of the clan's mansion, and chose a date to marry Yan Wang's eldest daughter, Princess Yong'an.

This shocked everyone even more.

You must know that every move of the emperor will affect the hearts of everyone, and this move will inevitably make everyone think deeply.

King Yan, Zhen Wu, Lan Yu, Ye Sheng, among them...

At this time, many people knew that Lan Yu was on his way back to the capital. King Yan was not in the capital now, but Zhen Wu, the direct descendant of King Yan, was conferred the title of Lord Ma.

When Lan Yu comes back, Zhen Wu and Lan Yu will face each other.

How did the little Qianhu resist Sapphire?It's not uncommon to be beaten to death with an excuse, but at this moment, he suddenly became a county horse master.

Even if Jun Ma Ye is still not as good as Lan Yu, he is not a small person who can be killed casually.

Then the emperor's actions are obviously protecting Zhenwu, and protecting Zhenwu is in other words supporting Yan Wang Zhu Di.

As a result, the rumors that the emperor intended to succeed Zhu Di in the capital had spread again.

Those who pulled away from the matter and made up their mind not to participate in the battle for the reserve position watched on with cold eyes, and even waited for Lanyu to return to Beijing with a bit of a spectator mentality.

However, those who wanted to seek benefits for themselves in the battle for the reserve positions started to move one by one.

But they were about to make a move just now, at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang issued several orders in succession.

Fu Youde, who transferred Henan to train troops, went to Shanxi and ordered Kaifeng Zhou Wang to supervise the deployment of troops in Henan. He also ordered Taiyuan Jin Wang to control all soldiers and horses in Shanxi, and Beiping Yan Wang to control Baoding Mansion and Daning. Not to be transferred.

If there is no royal order, it cannot be transferred!

Be nice.

At this moment, many people couldn't understand it, as if the water was getting deeper.

Even Zhen Wu was shocked when he knew these wills.

……

Back to Zhen Wu.

After Zhen Wu came out of the prison, he was not surprised to see Zhang Wu and Xue Lu coming to pick him up. Zhu Di had left him a message before he left.

The three of them directly returned to Zhu Di's mansion in the capital.

The stewards in the mansion already knew that Zhen Wu was going to marry Princess Yong'an, so they got closer to Zhen Wu, enthusiastically arranged for Zhen Wu to freshen up, and helped Zhen Wu change to a more comfortable yard.

After Zhen Wu finished washing up, he discussed with Zhang Wu and Xue Lu, and set off to return to Peiping as soon as possible tomorrow morning.

Zhen Wu already felt that the turmoil in the capital was getting bigger and bigger. If he didn't pay attention, he might die in this turmoil. Relatively speaking, it was still safe to go back to his hometown in Beiping.

Zhang Wu and Xue Lu had no objections, they stayed in the capital to wait for Zhen Wu.

At this time, Zhen Wu did not expect Xu Zengshou to visit, and Zhu Yuanzhang's successive orders were brought by Xu Zengshou.

Xu Zengshou was originally entrusted by King Yan to take care of Zhen Wu. Knowing that Zhen Wu was out of prison, he naturally wanted to take a look. Xu Zengshou had a good impression of Zhen Wu before, and Zhu Yuanzhang had already pointed out that Zhen Wu and Zhu Yu were married. Ying, so Xu Zengshou no longer regards Zhen Wu as an outsider.

On a whim, Xu Zengshou told Zhen Wu his will.

Afterwards, several people closed the door to discuss Zhu Yuanzhang's will.

"What do you think?" Xu Zengshou asked Zhen Wu curiously.

Zhen Wu pondered for a moment, looked at Xu Zengshou, and finally decided to speak: "The emperor is going to make a grandson."

Zhang Wuxue Lu was surprised, but Xu Zengshou's eyes lit up and he asked, "What do you say?"

Zhen Wu glanced at Xu Zengshou, knowing that Xu Zengshou must have guessed Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions, so he didn't hide it, and explained to Zhang Wu and Xue Lu openly: "Nowadays, among the kings, only King Jin and King Yan are powerful. The purpose of condemning the two kings to return to the fief in advance is obviously to let the two kings restrain each other, and to make the two kings control the troops around them, and the intention is nothing more than to look at the whole country and warn others, so that the matter of setting up the grandson can be ended smoothly."

Xu Zengshou smiled appreciatively, and said: "Well, since you understand, then I won't say more. Anyway, you should go back to Beiping as soon as possible. The capital doesn't know how to make a fuss. It doesn't hurt King Yan if you get involved. What good."

Zhen Wu nodded, that's what he intended.

Then, Xu Zengshou didn't stay long, so he said goodbye and left.

After Zhen Wu sent Xu Zengshou out, he came back and stood in the middle of the courtyard. There was no movement for a while. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement had a deeper meaning, but he was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang not to tell others.

But in his heart, it made him see the cruelty of the emperor's tactics.

After Lan Yu entered Beijing, she was about to die in the capital.

Now the Beijing camp is in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, and the soldiers and horses in Shandong are the direct descendants of the Xu family. Now he has added the king of Zhou in Henan, the king of Jin in Shanxi, the king of Yan in Beiping, and the commander of the Shaanxi capital when he cut off the three guards of the king of Qin.

Half of the world's soldiers and horses are in hand, let alone just killing a blue jade, it is more than enough to rebel again and again.

Lan Yu's death is a foregone conclusion, but I don't know when Lan Yu will die, and Zhu Yuanzhang will use Lan Yu's incident to implicate those people.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wu couldn't help feeling a little fear of Zhu Yuanzhang in his heart. Some people play chess seven or eight moves in advance, and it is already scary, but Zhu Yuanzhang can really fill the chessboard, close to his heart, and confident in his chest.

……

Not far from the capital.

Lan Yu's group stopped, he had an inexplicable sense of foreboding, but he had already arrived here, and there was no reason for him to return.

He looked back at the guards and entourage who were walking with him.

Everyone's face is a little travel-stained.

Sapphire took a deep breath.

In the end, the arrogant look of the past reappeared on his face, what was he afraid of? !He just wanted to go back to Beijing, not only for Ye Sheng, but also for Zhu Yunxie.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, for the prince, he willingly fought the world for so long, how could he take advantage of others.

"Let's go, hurry up and enter the capital." Lan Yu roared wantonly.

Then the whip was raised, and there was a crisp sound of whipping the horse, and the army horse rushed out with Sapphire immediately after suffering the pain.

The crowd quickly followed.

On the official road, as a group of people rushed past, the dust was bustling and flying.

Chapter 208 - Zhen Wu vs Sapphire

Soon.

Nanjing City was in sight, and the Sanshan Gate in the West City, even at dusk, still had a lot of pedestrians coming in and out. Lanyu's personal guards had already rushed forward to drive away the crowd without Lanyu's order.

The crowd who lined up in an orderly manner immediately became agitated, but when they saw that it was the Duke of Liang, no matter if they were ordinary people or some small officials, they all calmed down, and those who dared not speak out hurriedly avoided, so that Lan Yu could wait People pass.

Sapphire watched coldly from a distance.

Until the city gate was vacant, and then arrogantly took the crowd into the city without even looking at the crowd.

At this time, it will be late.

After Lan Yu returned to the Duke of Liang's mansion, she sent people to the imperial city to deliver a memorial to see her tomorrow, and at the same time sent her cronies to acquaintances to inquire about Ye Sheng.

After finishing all this work, it was completely dark. Sapphire took the lantern in the hand of the entourage, waved the entourage to retreat, and carried the lantern into the study by herself.

According to his rules, there is no need to wait in the study, and without him, no one is allowed to get too close to the study.

squeak.

Sapphire pushed open the door of the study, walked to the candle table, blew on the fire book, and lit all the candles in the study one by one.

In the study room, it soon brightened up.

Sapphire rummaged through the bookshelf for a while, found all the correspondence with Ye Sheng, lit a candle and threw it into a copper basin, until all the letters in the copper basin were turned into ashes, Sapphire finally put Look away.

After the brightness given by the firelight dissipates quickly, the room lit by the candles has a drop of darkness.

"Cough~" Lan Yu coughed lightly, raised her hand and slapped her nose.

The study room was filled with smoke due to the burning of paper. Sapphire went to the window and opened it. Fresh air flooded in instantly. He took two deep breaths, which also made his thoughts clearer.

He has been with Ye Sheng for many years, so how can there be no shameful things.

This was also one of the reasons why he came back in a hurry after Ye Sheng was arrested. There were some things he needed to know, and on some occasions only if he came forward, the things would not spread wantonly.

Sapphire waited for a long time in the study.

Finally, the person who inquired about the news came back.

Lan Yu went out of the study and came to the outer room of the next room. After listening to the report of his cronies and hearing that Ye Sheng's case was involved in the arrest of a Wei Zhen Fu in Beiping City, he was relieved.

As long as the emperor didn't come to mess with him, some shady and illegal things would not bring him down, Duke Liang.

Just when Lan Yu was thinking about how to save Ye Sheng, the confidant said with grief: "Master Ye, Ye Hou Ye has been executed by the emperor, and he is going to confiscate the noble and confiscate the house. This morning, Jin Yiwei searched Ye Hou Ye." mansion, and sent people to Henan, fearing that Lord Ye’s family would be implicated by this.”

Sapphire stood up in shock.

How could this be so? !

He hurried and hurried, but he still couldn't catch up.

"Master, what do you think we will do next?" the confidant asked sadly.

Sapphire's expression changed several times, and the thoughts in his heart were also chaotic. He paced back and forth in the room twice, and quickly came up with an idea.

"In this way, you take people to Henan tonight, and after you go there, you don't need to worry about money. You must try your best to keep Ye Sheng's family."

"Yes." The confidant said, and then waited for Sapphire's next order.

Lan Yu's mind was still spinning fast. He didn't know what the emperor had found in Ye Sheng's investigation. He couldn't help feeling a little panic in his heart, and even worried, thinking that the emperor really wanted to deal with him.

Thinking about it, Lan Yu asked, "Who did you say was the one who arrested Ye Sheng?"

"The king of Yan guards Zhenwu from thousands of households."

"Zhen Wu?" Lan Yu chewed a bit, and finally hit the table with his fist. His strength was so strong that the table shook, and even the kettle and water cup on the table moved.

He soon thought that Zhen Wu was the one who killed his adopted son Zhang Quan.

Although he has many sons.

Zhang Quan is not his favored adopted son, but Zhang Quan also represents his face outside.

After hearing that Zhen Wu beheaded Zhang Quan before, he wanted to send someone to Beiping City to take revenge, but at that time the emperor was furious because of the Liaodong incident, and even scolded Zhu Biao for it.

Zhu Biao also dissuaded him many times because of this, and Zhang Quan was indeed caught in the trap, so he couldn't face it in a fair manner, so he endured it. He didn't expect to be bitten by this flea again today.

Tolerable or unbearable.

Lan Yu gritted her teeth and said, "It's this brat again, do you really think I, Lan Yu, is easy to bully?!"

The cronies dare not answer.

A stern flash flashed across Lan Yu's face, she looked at her cronies and said, "After a while, find fifty good hands for me, and also inform the two brothers Zhou Chong and Zhou Gao to clean up that one with me tomorrow." Cub."

Two brothers, Zhou Chong and Zhou Gao, are talented and powerful. They joined Lan Yu's command in the early years, and they were often regarded as forwards by Lan Yu. They were often invincible, and their reputation spread far and wide in the capital.

"My lord, Zhen Wu was made a Yibin by the emperor, and he is going to marry the princess of Yan Wangfu, are we sure we want to do this?" the confidant asked uncertainly.

Sapphire glanced coldly at the accomplice, his acquaintance jumped in confidence, and quickly shut up and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Lan Yu withdrew her gaze. He knew that the cronies were doing it for his own good, but the cronies didn't know that Zhen Wuruo was just a thousand householders, so he really didn't dare to touch Zhen Wu casually, because he was afraid that the emperor would push Zhen Wu out as a dead person Let him kill him, and then the emperor took the opportunity to deal with him, but the emperor gave Zhen Wu his status, so Zhen Wu is obviously not the emperor's abandoned son, and Zhen Wu, as the son-in-law of King Yan, probably only Zhu Di is targeting him.

Sapphire is not afraid of Zhu Di's words against him.

However, Lan Yu still wanted to go over and try it out, to see how the emperor would react after beating Zhen Wu.

But he couldn't say these words to his cronies, so he had to say proudly: "Don't say that Zhen Wu hasn't married the princess yet, even if I marry the princess, why should I be afraid? Although I obviously can't kill him, but if I beat him half to death, he So what? Looking for Zhu Di or the emperor?!"

The further back Lan Yu spoke, the more arrogant and arrogant her tone became.

As if seeing nothing in the world.

The look of disdain on his face seemed to regard Zhen Wu as an ant that could be trampled on at will.

"Okay, you go down, finish the work, and take people to Henan as soon as possible." Lan Yu waved.

After the confidant nodded, he slowly retreated.

Lan Yu watched his cronies walking away with the lantern, the world in his sight became dark, and his face became more and more serious.

……

That night, Zhen Wu was so preoccupied that he didn't want to sleep. What happened recently had a great impact on him. Zhen Wu didn't need to think about Lan Yu's ability, just looking at Lan Yu's past achievements.

If he didn't have extraordinary intelligence and bravery, how could he have made so many great achievements in battle, and how could he have gathered so many confidantes under his command!
