Chapter 397 Encirclement and suppression 1

Please enter the main text. After Zhao Yuan and Cang Wushuang sat down, Cang Wushuang smiled and said, "Ms. Wu, are you used to living here?"

Wu Jin quickly withdrew his thoughts and said, "Fortunately, thank you for your concern! It turns out that you two are the distinguished guests that the adults call."

Cang Wushuang smiled and said, "Miss is a little surprised?"

Wu Jin nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Lu is an important member of the court, so I thought it was an important member of the court. Lord Lu asked me to live here for peace, so I can only do my best to thank Lord Lu!"

In front of Zhao Yuan, Wu Jin would not confess his true thoughts.

Cang Wushuang said: "So that's it. Since this dish was carefully cooked by Miss Wu, then we should be respectful and try it well!"

Wu Jin smiled and said, "Please!"

...

While Zhao Yuan and Cang Wushuang were enjoying the food, Lu Bing hurried to Nanyuan and met Emperor Jiajing Zhu Hou.

Seeing Lu Bing, Zhu Hou still closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and said, "You are here in a hurry. Is there something important?"

Lu Bing said respectfully: "If you say goodbye to the emperor, I am here to report to the Japanese pirates."

"Japanese pirates?"

Zhu Hou opened his eyes slightly, looked fierce, and said, "Does there be remnants of Japanese pirates in the capital?"

Lu Bing said: "Whether there are still Japanese pirates in the city? I am still sending people to investigate thoroughly. The so-called Japanese pirates are not in the city, but outside the city, and they are very likely to be hiding in the hunting ground, or have already mixed into the hunting ground!"

Zhu Hou's eyes were completely opened, and she was still a little surprised: "Have you mixed into the hunting ground?"

As the emperor, he knew very well what Lu Bing meant by infiltrating into the hunting ground, that is, as long as he went hunting, he might be ambushed, or was in the safest place.

Lu Bing said: "I am not sure whether I have really been in the hunting ground. But if I send someone to investigate, I am afraid of alarming the snake. If they escape and hide again, it will be even more difficult to find. So I come here to ask for an order, and the emperor will issue an order!"

Zhu Houdao: "Issuing an order? My dear intention is to send troops directly without sending someone to investigate? If there is such a big deal, if there is nothing to gain in the end, wouldn't the censors in the court have something to say?"

To be honest, Zhu Hou still hates the censors in the court. They like to say that they insist on doing what they don’t want to do the most. They are proud of them after beating them. Even if they cut off their heads, they don’t care. The key is that these censors are all civil officials, and their heads are just stubborn. It’s not wrong to say that their heads are stones at all. I think I have been doing a lot of trouble for my father.

In the 16th year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao died of illness at the age of 31. However, he was unable to leave his descendants, so he had to let his cousins ​​"brothers and brothers go" to ask for the opinions of Empress Dowager Zhang at that time. Empress Dowager Zhang discussed with everyone and finally decided to welcome the son of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming, King Xingxian, King Zhu Hou, the cousin of Emperor Wuzong of Ming, to quote the "brothers and brothers go" as the successor of the throne. Before we welcome Zhu Hou to Beijing to ascend the throne, Empress Dowager Zhang had already planned with Yang Tinghe and others. The new emperor should inherit the throne of Emperor Wuzong of Ming in the name of the son of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming. In other words, Zhu Hou must admit that Emperor Xiaozong of Ming was the imperial throne.

Emperor Wuzong of Ming was his elder brother; as for King Xingxian, Zhu, he could only be Zhu Hou's uncle, and Zhu's princess was Zhu Hou's aunt. According to Empress Dowager Zhang's original intention, he was appointed Zhu Hou as the crown prince first, and then inherited the throne. After Zhu Hou ascended the throne, Yang Tinghe, Mao Cheng and others suggested that he "require to call Emperor Xiaozong the emperor, rename King Xingxian the emperor's uncle King Xingxian, and Princess Xingxian the emperor's uncle Prince Xingxian the emperor's uncle", that is, to change his uncle to his father, aunt as his mother, and his parents were uncles and aunts, and he became his parents' nephew. To put it bluntly, he adopted Zhu Hou to Emperor Xiaozong of Ming as his son. That is, he made a fuss about his father's business.

In the end, he struggled for a long time for this matter, which made him satisfied. Zhu Hou was extremely helpless with these civil officials who were stubborn like stones.

Although Lu Bing was the commander of the Jinyiwei, he was in the court with high power, and most people did not offend him. This did not mean that those censors did not dare. They dared to say anything and were not afraid of anything. A few days ago, the Jinyiwei, the East Factory and the Imperial Guard thoroughly investigated the capital, and some people were beaten up and said that they disturbed the people, but the matter was finally suppressed!

In fact, there is another big reason why these censors dared to report Lu Bing's memorials. Lu Bing and the Dongchang sent people to protect the families of the officials in the court. The conditions were for the fifth rank or above. The censors were generally only about the seventh rank, and they were not within the scope of protection at all. This hit those censors deeply. On the other hand, it also shows that they were dispensable to the entire court.

Lu Bing already knew these memorials, but he didn't care. How could a few small censors do to him? He made him unhappy and just placed a charge and sent them directly to the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei. He walked in and walked in, and it was difficult to get out and crawled.

Hearing this, Lu Bing said: "The Japanese pirates in the city were wiped out, and the Japanese pirates outside the city were already like frightened birds. If a person who accidentally inquired was exposed, it would be extremely difficult to find them again after they fled. The soldiers are very fast, so they must take them down before they have time to escape! Please beg the emperor!"

Zhu Hou asked, "It would be fine if you can catch the Japanese pirates, but what if you don't find them? Well, why not do this? I will go to the hunting ground in one month, and you will send someone to check it. This is also a routine every year. In this way, no matter whether the Japanese pirates are found, they will not be honest."

Zhu Hou still trusts Lu Bing very much, and to be honest, he also has great protection. He doesn't want him to be the target of criticism from those censors.

It is a routine practice for the emperor to go hunting, and the Jinyiwei or the Dongchang to inspect the hunting ground in advance to ensure the safety of the hunting, which will not have any impact.

Lu Bing said: "Thank you, the only thing this time is not enough for the Jinyiwei!"

Zhu Hou asked in confusion: "It's not enough?"

Lu Bing said: "There are at least thousands of Japanese pirates lurking this time. One of them has mixed into five surrounding villages. As for which village is now unsure, it is necessary to take action at the same time. On the other hand, some of them may have mixed into two thousand houses guarding the hunting grounds, and they must be checked one by one. The Jinyiwei can mobilize only more than 3,000 people in the capital, which is not enough. I also ask the emperor to approve the imperial guards to go there."

The imperial guards are the exclusive troops to protect the capital. Like the Jinyiwei, they can only be mobilized by the emperor himself. They are loyal to the emperor and the court. In addition, they have amazing combat power, completely better than ordinary troops.

The Ming Dynasty's army was a military farming system, fighting during wars and farming in normal times, and many generals were vain. Lu Bing had no way to determine how many people had mixed in with the army. He had to take a very stupid approach, that is, to dispatch heavy troops, take down all these soldiers, and then check them one by one.

This method is very stupid, but it is very effective.

Zhu Hou thought for a moment and said, "I'm sure!"

...

After Lu Bing left Nanyuan, he immediately found the leader of the Imperial Guard with the tiger talisman and asked them to prepare, but did not say anything about the task. On the other hand, he also returned to the Jinyiwei and asked everyone to prepare for it. However, such a large-scale personnel transfer would take time.

After confirming this place, it was already dusk. Lu Bing did not go home, but instead drove to the place where Zhao Yuan lived. Zhao Yuan and Cang Wushuang were surprised when they saw Lu Bing coming and said, "Master Lu? Why are you here?"

Lu Bing said: "You can come to my government at noon, so don't you allow me to come to your house? Well, it seems you are going to have supper, right? Go and add a pair of bowls and chopsticks!"

Zhao Yuan was stunned and hurriedly ran into the kitchen in person, took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and placed them in front of Lu Bing.

Lu Bing looked at the dishes on the table, picked up a piece of chopsticks, tasted them, nodded and said, "It tastes good, it seems that the chef's skills are good."

Zhao Yuan said: "These dishes are not made by those chefs."

Lu Bing said in surprise: "Didn't those cooks make it?"

As he said that, he looked at Cang Wushuang and said in confusion: "Although he is worse than Wu Jin's craftsmanship, it is enough for home-cooked side dishes. Unexpectedly, the princess has excellent martial arts skills and her cooking skills are also somewhat remarkable?"

Cang Wushuang is the saint of Yinyue Sect, but Yinyue Sect is a sect of the Jianghu, a demon sect in the Jianghu, and Lu Bing is also a destiny of the court. Therefore, he directly ignored the identity of Saint Cang Wushuang and called her princess, which was officially enthroned by the court.

Cang Wushuang smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and said, "Mr. Lu, do you see that the little girl's hands can cook?"

Cang Wushuang's fingers were as white as jade, with no scars on it. No one expected that there were many masters who died on these hands.

Lu Bing said in surprise: "Isn't it the princess's cooking skills?"

As he said that, he looked at Zhao Yuan next to him and said, "Is it you?"

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "I'll make you laugh, and there are only a few home-cooked side dishes."

Lu Bing nodded incrediblely and said, "Big fish and big meat are not necessarily delicious food. Sometimes this kind of home-cooked side dish is also delicious. Come and sit down and have a good meal with me!"

Zhao Yuan had no choice but to sit down and quietly accompany Lu Bing to have dinner. Even Zhao Yuan did not expect that the commander of the Jinyiwei could eat so deliciously while eating the home-cooked side dishes he had cooked in his temporary residence.

After eating, he put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, took the towel handed over by Zhao Yuan, and after wiping his mouth, he sat upright slightly and said, "Come here today, there is actually something you need to do."

As the saying goes, if you don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble, Zhao Yuan absolutely does not believe that Lu Bing just came to have a meal, and then he said, “Sir, please give me instructions!”

Lu Bing said: "The emperor has ordered the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guard to be dispatched at the same time, and to be dispatched tomorrow, and to surround those villages and two thousand houses at the same time. But such a big movement from the court cannot arouse the alarm of others. There have been so many big things in the city a few days ago. The Japanese pirates outside the city are already frightened birds. They may have spies outside the city! There is only one way from the capital to the hunting ground, and there is only one way to those villages. Therefore, I hope that you will ambush in advance tomorrow and kill another thousand by mistake. You cannot let one go, and you cannot let anyone who may be a spy arrive before us!"

Zhao Yuan thought about it and said, "Sir, there is no problem with this, but if they use Fei Ge to pass on the letter, there is nothing to do with me."

Lu Bing said: "You don't have to worry about this. In order to deal with those pigeons, the Jinyiwei trained eagles very early. Tomorrow they will lie around the capital in advance to ensure that no pigeon can leave the capital alive!"

The main methods of sending messages in the Central Plains are human resources and pigeons. Although the pigeons are fast and relatively secret, they are easily threatened by birds of prey in the sky. Those grassland ethnic groups such as Urianha train eagles and other birds of prey to detect and transmit messages. They and Cang Wushuang had already seen them.

The Jinyiwei himself will use pigeons to deliver messages. Similarly, they have to prevent others from using pigeons to deliver messages. In order to deal with these messengers in the sky, well-trained eagles and other birds of prey are nothing more than the best killers. After all, this is also taking advantage of their nature. Pigeons are originally one of the eagle food chains.

There are eagles in the sky and Zhao Yuan on the road, so they can ensure that they know nothing about the movements of the court before the arrival of the court.

Zhao Yuan bowed and said, "I will live up to what I hope."

Lu Bing nodded, stood up slowly, and said, "Whether you two can succeed in this mission, you are also the key to whether you can succeed, and you are in trouble!"

Zhao Yuan saw Lu Bing away and returned home. Cang Wushuang pursed and said, "I knew that the commanders of the Jinyiwei actually came to us for dinner. He would definitely not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. Now he knew that he completely treated us as a sword envoy, and it was very easy!"

Zhao Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, don't be angry. We are people in the world and don't like the court. Even if we have grudges with the court, it is an internal problem. However, the Japanese pirates are invaders, so we must be unanimous to the outside world. Lord Lu likes to treat us as sword envoys, and I don't think it's an honor, but I think it's also considered serving the country!"

Cang Wushuang said, "I'm not angry. The so-called "marrying a chicken and following a chicken, and marrying a dog, my husband is willing to do it. Will I still object? Forget it, it can be regarded as a move. I just hope that these spies will not be too bad at all! It disturbs my interest!"
