My Daming New Empire

Otherwise, beating an uncle with a nephew, no matter how reasonable it is, will become unreasonable.What's more, as a winner, there is no need to be aggressive here.

Zhu Gaoxu punched nothing in front of his eyes, and he rushed two more steps and continued to punch.He was about to leave the capital today, and he seemed to want to take this opportunity to avenge his revenge, to avenge his grievances.

Zhu Zhanji's eyes saw that Wang Yan had already rushed over, so he didn't fight back, and continued to retreat, hiding at the door. He stepped on the half-meter threshold, turned over, flew up, and landed behind Zhu Gaoxu .

Zhu Gaoxu jumped into the air, stood at the door, turned around and looked at Zhu Zhanji behind him.

At this time, Wang Yan had already run over and stopped between the two of them. "Hanwang Highness, that's enough, do you want the emperor to be furious?"

Zhu Gaoxu turned around, panting and said: "You heard it too, he is framing me, I want to avenge my father!"

Wang Yan originally didn't want to get involved in this kind of occasion. Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's stupidity, he couldn't help but said: "Does His Royal Highness really think that His Majesty doesn't know anything? What can be hidden from His Majesty's eyes and ears?"

Zhu Gaoxu froze for a moment, and asked loudly: "Then why..."

At this time, Zhu Zhanji still smiled harmoniously: "Framed, who can frame a prince? Who can frame the descendants of the Zhu family? Didn't Wang Lian's wife be tortured and killed by you? Didn't you rob the merchants of Jiujiang Mansion? Go to the family property, chop it into pieces and throw it into the river?"

"That's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks..."

He wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Wang Yan. "My lord, please be quiet!"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Zhanji, who had been smiling all the time, and Wang Yan, who had a serious face, and his heart was full of anger.But he suppressed his anger, looked at Zhu Zhanji and smiled darkly. "Let's drive...Leave Beijing!"

Wang Yan also raised his hand, several eunuchs shouted at the same time. "The king of Han, the king of Zhao, His Royal Highness Taisun set off, the guard of honor is ready..."

With the order, the front and back yards of the Hanwang Mansion boiled up. The female relatives who had been prepared for a long time boarded the carriage one by one, and most of the men accompanied them on horseback.

Along the way, Zhu Gaoxu kept looking at Zhu Zhanji gloomily across Wang Yan and the others. If possible, he might wish to kill Zhu Zhanji directly.

But Zhu Zhanji is still living well and in a happy mood.

He did it on purpose, and wanted to provoke Zhu Gaoxu on purpose. If he went to the fief and really became honest, it would be meaningless.

If because he wanted to seize power, he actively raised his troops in the fief and even sent people to the capital to attack him, which would be in line with Zhu Zhanji's style of killing everything.

If he doesn't push the other party to a desperate situation, and can't show that his nephew has been passively fighting back, it will have a great impact on his reputation.

If he didn't dare to send someone to assassinate him, wouldn't he want to direct and perform a good assassination show by himself?

Chapter 98 Liu Jiang Arrives in Beijing

Zhu Gaoxu's departure from Beijing made the atmosphere in the whole capital more relaxed.There is such a domineering and unreasonable prince in the capital, and he has really brought disaster to many people.

More importantly, the imperial court selected concubines for Zhu Zhanji, and those women who were relatively close to each other had been sent to the capital by their families.

Their arrival has become a sight in the capital. Those idle gangs guard the gates of various cities every day, and after getting information, they sell them to tea houses in various places in the capital, and they can also get some rewards.

News dissemination in this era mainly relies on those storytellers. Zhu Zhan basically thought about running a newspaper to guide public opinion, but this matter is a double-edged sword, which can hurt others and even hurt himself.

He does not hold great power yet, let alone meddling with government affairs. Even if he runs a newspaper, he cannot control it, and he is also making wedding dresses for others, so the newspaper has not yet been launched.

However, although there is no news control in Ming Dynasty, no one dares to talk nonsense and spread false information, because in this era, talking nonsense and spreading information indiscriminately may lead to family ruin and death.

Although there is no clear law, there is a line in people's hearts. This line is not only the law of Ming Dynasty, but also customs and customs. No one dares to cross this line easily.

While the capital became lively because of Zhu Zhanji's concubine selection, a group of soldiers from Liaodong also ushered in at the pier of the capital.

Liu Jiang received the imperial decree on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The eunuch who delivered the decree arrived in Shandong from the canal, then arrived in Dengzhou Prefecture on horseback, and then transferred to Jinshanwei by sea boat.

Liu Jiang only stayed at home for one day, and asked the lieutenant general and the housekeeper to help arrange for his family members. He led thirty personal guards and returned to Beijing to reply to the decree.

From Liaodong Commander-in-Chief to Navy Deputy Commander, from the Left Commander of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion to the Navy Commander-in-Chief, no matter in terms of position or rank, this is a promotion.

There are dozens of Zuo Dudu in the Five Armies Dudu's Mansion alone, and this official position is only a false title.

But now that he has been transferred to the Navy Command, although he doesn't know what title this command belongs to, but just because he retains the title of Major Commander, and the Navy has no other commanders besides him, you can know how good this position is. .

What's more, being transferred from the bitterly cold Liaodong to the bustling capital is not only an official promotion, but also means that he has finally entered the center.

Ever since Yongle made a big mistake in the first Northern Expedition in eight years, and he was exiled to Liaodong, he thought that his life was over.

This time he accompanied the army in the northern expedition. As a vanguard officer, he learned from the mistakes of the first expedition, marched cautiously, and killed the enemy bravely. However, when the war was over, he was still sent back to Liaodong.

However, suddenly, he received an imperial decree for promotion, and he was the only captain of the navy next to His Royal Highness, how could this not surprise him.

According to what the inner eunuch said, it was His Royal Highness who asked the emperor for him on his own initiative.He thought that during this northern expedition, he did not have much contact with the grandson.

Even because he later served as a vanguard officer, he never went to battle with Taisun to kill the enemy.Why did Taisun take a fancy to him?

As a veteran who has fought with the army since the time of Taizu, Liu Jiang is certainly not a fool if he can step by step from a small soldier who replaced his father's enlisted quota to the position of a general of the country.

He only needs to think about the construction of the navy to make him understand that what he did in Liaodong has penetrated into the Sacred Heart.

Taisun was able to bypass so many generals in the court and choose him, probably because he valued that he was not only old enough, but also proficient in water warfare.

So during the half month since he came to the capital, he has been recalling his military experience, and wanted to come up with a military strategy for the navy to rebuild the navy that would satisfy the emperor and grandson.

For the past few days, he has been suffocating in the cabin. As soon as the ship stopped, Liu Jiang couldn't wait to board the pier.A group of guards also started to get busy leading the horses and packing their luggage.

Looking at the majestic city wall in front of him, Liu Jiang was filled with emotion. From now on, he will no longer be a passer-by, but will become the master of this city.

A young eunuch came to welcome him with two servants, and behind them was a group of guards in Habayashiwei costumes.

Now the entire Habayashi Guard has become Taisun's personal guard.Originally during the Northern Expedition, Taisun’s guard was only Habayashi Zuowei, but after the New Year, Taisun was ordered to form a navy, and the emperor also assigned Habayashi Right Guard to him.

The King of Han's three guards were reduced to one guard, and the King of Zhao now has only one guard. Only the grandson and prince are favored by the emperor, and each person is divided into two guards.

"Liu Dudu, I finally waited for you. Is this journey peaceful?"

Liu Jiang also met Li Liang during the Northern Expedition, and knew that he was a celebrity in front of the grandson, so he dared not neglect him.He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is peaceful all over the world, how can it be restless. Please excuse Li Shaojian to wait here for a long time, Jiang Guo is not happy."

Li Liang smiled and said: "The governor doesn't know something, His Highness has been calculating the itinerary of the governor, and told you to take you to the palace immediately when you arrive in the capital."

Liu Jiang was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "Jiang has been traveling all the way, and it is inevitable that there will be some indecency. I hope the young supervisor will allow me to find an inn first, freshen up, and then see your highness."

Li Liang said with a smile: "Your Highness has already thought carefully about being the governor. The governor has always been an official of foreign enemies and has no residence in the capital. His Highness has ordered Jin Yiwei to help the governor find several houses. As for the place to stay today, it is also arranged in Chang'an The avant-garde guards of the government army in Xiejie, except for the general, can also stay here. Wash your face and change your clothes on the way there, and then you can enter the palace."

Seeing that the other party's arrangement was so appropriate, Liu Jiang did as he pleases, bringing only two personal guards, and followed Li Liang onto a boat with an internal prison attached.

There are many people in the capital and the roads are narrow, and riding horses is prohibited everywhere, so sometimes taking a boat is faster than riding a horse.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Liu Jian thought that when he entered the palace at this time, he would inevitably have lunch with his grandson.To be treated so courteously just after entering Beijing, and this navy captain has no constraints, I am afraid that it will be extremely peaceful.

The small boat traveled upstream along the Qinhuai River, and its speed was not slow.Li Liang asked the little eunuch to make a cup of tea for Liu Jiang, and then said: "The governor will go to the Ministry of War to report to the Ministry of War in a while. I have seen His Highness today, and I am sure that I will be interviewed by the Emperor tomorrow."

Liu Jiang cupped his hands and said, "The young supervisor is very considerate, Jiang is very grateful."

As the governor who returned to Beijing to report on his duties, it would be great if he could be scheduled for an audience within three days, unless it was an emergency military situation.
