Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

On February 25th, Shaofu Yujie, the minister of the Ministry of War, returned to the capital in the 'Red Thunder Chariot' lent by Emperor Jingtai.

And just as he drove the chariot into the capital through Fucheng Gate in the west of the city, he noticed the soaring blood energy in the direction of Caishikou in the city.

Young master Yu Jie has not practiced Taoism and does not know how to read Qi. But the blood there was so strong that Yu Jie could see it with his naked eyes.

It was obvious that thousands of people were executed there, which resulted in such a strong blood evil.

Yu Jie couldn't help but feel slightly surprised when he saw this: "Has the case of Prince Xiang's rebellion started to be dealt with now?"

He was asking about the man next to him who was making embroidered clothes to guard Qianhu. This man's surname was Yu Mingji, and he was the son-in-law of the young master Yu Jie.

Although he also had the surname Yu, he had nothing to do with the royal family. He also held the position of Qianhu Office of the Qianhu Office in the West City among the Xiuyi Guards, and was in charge of the "inspections and arrests" in the west of Beijing.

"It's not so fast. The trial of Prince Xiang's rebellion has just begun, and many of his accomplices have not yet been arrested. My son-in-law estimates that it will take two or three months to complete."

Yu Ji shook his head and said: "The people who were executed over there were the criminals in the previous salt merchant case and the salt inspection envoy Xia Guangwei case. Yu Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment found out that someone bribed King Xiang and his accomplices with heavy sums of money during the handling of the case to let them Find ways to reduce charges and hide family assets.

His Majesty was furious when he found out. He did not wait for the Queen of Autumn, and ignored the dissuasion of the Ministry of Rites, and directly sentenced them to death. "

In this era, executions usually took place in the autumn and winter.

This is a rule passed down from ancient times. It was originally because people were free in autumn and winter and did not need to grow food, so people could be forced to watch.

This can serve as a warning and deterrent, and is also related to the ancients’ consideration of “not missing the farming season.”

Over time, asking and beheading the Queen of Autumn has become one of the contents of "etiquette".

People believed that the emperor was the son of Heaven and had to act in accordance with Heaven's timing, including the execution of prisoners.

This time the emperor ignored the rules of etiquette and directly beheaded him in the spring, which shows how deep his anger was.

At this time, Yu Ji remembered something again: "By the way, Yu Shangshu has been appointed by the emperor a few days ago to be awarded the bachelor of Dongge and join the cabinet. Also, He Wenyuan, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, was promoted to the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel yesterday, and was given the title of Prince Taibao. It turns out that Wang Wen, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was deprived of his duties and ordered to reflect at home."

He Wenyuan was also a veteran of several dynasties and a backbone of the imperial party. At the end of the twelfth year of Jingtai, He Wenyuan was the key figure who led the impeachment of "former prince, King Yi Yu Jianshen".

He Wenyuan directly came forward as a courtesy official to accuse the deposed prince of being unethical and dealt a heavy blow to the prince's party.

Young Master Yu Jie couldn't help but nodded slightly. Although he had been patrolling the border defense in the past two months, he had always paid attention to the situation in the DPRK and China.

Especially the case of King Xiang's rebellion, Yu Jie was extremely shocked, and he was also furious because of King Xiang's stolen reputation and deceiving the world, and his vicious methods.

In his opinion, Prince Yu Jianji's serious illness is the source of the current turmoil in the court.

For his own selfish reasons, King Xiang conspired to murder two princes in succession. His crime can be described as heinous!

Fortunately, there are important officials like Li Xuan in the court, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

If Yu Jie is like this, how much more is he the emperor?

Prince Yu Jianji is still unconscious, and there is little hope of regaining normal intelligence after waking up.

How can Emperor Jingtai not be angry? This is almost like losing a child.

At this time, Yu Jie noticed that his son-in-law had a look of hesitation on his face, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter? Why are you so hesitant?"

Yu Ji smiled bitterly and clasped his fists: "The emperor summoned me a few days ago. The emperor intends to put me in charge of the embroidered clothes guard, as the commander of the embroidered clothes guards, and in charge of the Fusi of Beizhen."

Yu Jiewen was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly. He thought that the emperor's style of conduct was really unique.

Nowadays, the Jin's guard army and most of the military power of the Beijing camp are all in his hands.

But the emperor had no fear of him. Instead, he wanted to hand over the emperor's ears, eyes and minions, the "embroidered clothes guard", into the hands of his son-in-law.

Yu Jie was moved by the emperor's trust, but also suffered from headaches.

He shook his head without hesitation: "Resign! Xiuyiwei has a treacherous line, what are you doing there to stir up trouble?"

"My son-in-law, I obey." Yu Ji's eyes were slightly unwilling, but he still agreed.

He thought that the emperor had not treated Zuo Daoxing badly. In addition to continuing to control Nanzhen Fusi, he now also served as the internal prosecutor.

In the absence of the "internal police eunuchs and eunuchs", Zuo Daoxing, the "internal factory supervisor", is the leader of the internal police officers.

But Yu Ji understood his father-in-law. If Yu Jie really dared to agree to this matter, there would be a lot of rumors in the outer court, and countless people would accuse Yu Jie of being a power traitor.

His father-in-law doesn't care what others think, but he will stick to his own etiquette of being a 'subordinate'.

Moreover, as the saying goes, the power of the family is too high, which is not a good thing.

At this time, Yu Jie looked towards the east of the city and asked, "Where is the Champion? Which academy should he be lecturing at this time?"

Yu Ji immediately answered without thinking: "It should be in his palace, right? Since the rebellion of Prince Xiang, the frequency of the champion's lectures has been much less than before. Most of the time, his body stays at home, Or inside the military camp.”

After he finished speaking, he asked curiously: "Father-in-law is going to see the Champion? Don't you go to see the Emperor first?"

Yu Jie shook his head: "The military situation is urgent. I need to meet with the newly appointed governor of the capital camp before I can meet with the emperor again. When discussing the military situation, I need to keep the overall situation in mind."

The reason why he returned to Beijing in a hurry this time was because when he was inspecting Datong, he found signs that the Mongols were starting to invade again.

Yu Jie expected that the scale of the Mongol invasion would be inferior to that of the Jingtai Thirteenth Year, but the number of Mongol masters still reached 800,000 to 900,000. Even if Wala only mobilizes half of them, the number will reach 450,000.

——If it’s just these 450,000 riders, it’s nothing. The current national and military strength of the Jin Dynasty is enough to cope with it.

But at the beginning of this year, the great chieftain of Luchuan in Yunnan had already expelled the officials sent by the Jin court.

Then another major disaster occurred in Qianhu Station in Chengde, which made the situation on the border of Jin Dynasty become dire again.

At this time, the champion Hou Lixuan, who had been promoted to the title of 'Capital Governor and Tongzhi', became more and more important in the army.

Yu Jie pays special attention to the 'Shenji Left and Right Battalion' he is in charge of.

Half a year ago, Yu Jie was not satisfied with Li Xuan's all-firearms tactics.

In order to persuade him, Li Xuan designed a war game. The two sides of the battle were the "Shenji Zuoying" with 22,000 people and the 100,000 Mongolian "Qiuxue Army". The result was a disastrous defeat for the Qiuxue Army.

After that, Yu Jie had some expectations for Li Xuan's 'Shenji Zuoying'. But deep down, I still don't think this all-firearms strategy can become the main force on the battlefield.

But the current situation forced him to pay more attention to the 'Shenji Left and Right Camp'.

Yu Jie thought that although the 'war chess deduction' was not enough, as long as the 'Shenji Left and Right Battalion' commanded by Li Xuan could exert 30% to 40% of the combat effectiveness during the war chess deduction, it would be enough to greatly improve the overall situation facing Jin Dynasty. improve.

A moment later, the 'Red Thunder Chariot' driven by Yu Jie landed in front of the champion's house. Butler Li Sihai immediately welcomed them out of the mansion and introduced them to the central hall of the Hou Mansion to serve tea.

Yu Jie didn't come here for tea. He didn't even sit down and asked directly: "Where is your Marquis?"

A look of embarrassment appeared on Li Sihai's face: "Master, he is a little inconvenient now. Please wait a moment, Master Young Master."

Yu Jie frowned when he heard this and walked directly to the back hall.

Li Sihai hurriedly caught up with him, looking embarrassed: "My lord, my lord, this is really inconvenient. The master is not in the Hou Mansion now either."

Yu Ji frowned: "The Champion is not at home? Then where is he?"

His eyes were a little dissatisfied. Since Li Xuan was not in the Hou Mansion, why would he invite his father-in-law into the manor?

Yu Jie's face was calm. He walked to the training ground at the back and stopped.

Just because at this time, Yu Jie had already seen 'Li Xuan'.

This was actually 'Li Xuan' that he sensed with his spiritual sense in the middle hall of the Hou Mansion. Its aura is exactly the same as the real Li Xuan, but it is a wooden puppet.

There is also a girl standing next to her, who is manipulating the wooden puppet to perform various movements, wielding a knife and practicing boxing with a sound of "嚯寯", which is very lively.

This girl should be named Dugu Biluo. When she saw Yu Jie, she looked a little embarrassed and bowed to Lianhe: "Dugu Biluo, a man with a hundred embroidered clothes, has met Master Shangshu."

Yu Ji's expression was one of astonishment. He looked at the wooden puppet with the same aura and intelligence as Li Xuan: "Dugu Baihu, may I ask why this is happening? Where is the champion?"

Dugu Biluo couldn't help but hesitate, not knowing how to answer.

At this time, a girl wearing a purple Taoist robe also walked in calmly: "I also want to know, where has Li Xuan gone? Didn't he tell me that he would concentrate on practicing martial arts today? Don’t you have time all afternoon?”

This was Shaotian Master Xue Yunrou who sensed the movement in the Hou Mansion and ran over to see the situation.

Yu Jie frowned and looked forward with a strange expression.

Just because at this time, Li Xuan happened to be disheveled and hurriedly climbed over the high wall from the north.

When he saw Yu Jie and Xue Yunrou, he couldn't help but look embarrassed and said: "Ahem! I've been waiting for a long time, young master. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net I'm a busy official and I've neglected my young master. Please ask me. Don’t be offended, Fu.”

Yu Jie looked behind the high wall to the north with a strange expression.

If he remembered correctly, it seemed to be the Princess Changle's Mansion over there, right?

Yu Ji also had a strange look on his face. He whispered next to Yu Jie's ear: "Although the eldest princess of Changle always lives in the palace, in the past half month, she occasionally leaves the palace to go to the princess's residence to handle affairs in the palace."

Seeing this, Xue Yunrou's expression was as usual. She walked to Li Xuan's side with a smile, and then said to Yu Jie in a soft voice: "Can Yu Shangshu wait for a moment in the outer hall? There are some private matters that I want to talk to Li Xuan. All I need to do is Just half a moment will be enough.”

Yu Jie immediately walked out without saying a word.

He felt quite embarrassed. He was here to discuss the military situation, so he acted a little impatiently, but who would have thought that he would run into such a mess?

When Yu Jie walked out of the courtyard, he found that the large grape trellis next to him had collapsed.
