Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 51

"Put the armor here, put the weapons here, and put the mandarin ducks and battle jackets here, and you can leave after you put them away."

On both sides of the road in the market town outside Andingmen, under the call of Jin Yiwei, tens of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled took off their armor, put down their weapons, took off their mandarin ducks and battle jackets, and left the street.

This process lasted for half an hour. At the same time, the literate Jin Yiwei began to register the registered soldiers of the Three Guards of Habayashi.

Half an hour's delay, if the guard of Anding Gate is not blind, he must have seen what happened under the tower.

But he hid for a long time, and finally saw that Zhu Youjian hadn't taken anyone away, so he could only take him down the city in a dejected manner.

But after going down to the city, he didn't dare to trouble Zhu Youjian at all, he just led people to guard the city gate to avoid mutiny.

Xu Wenshou, Xue Che, Li Sen and others did not take off their armor, but knelt in the snow wearing only commoner clothes.

Yang Lian looked at the scene in front of him with a frosty face, but there was nothing he could do.

"According to the "Law of the Great Ming Dynasty", how should this group of people be dealt with during Yang's affairs, don't you need to talk about it alone?"

"Return to Your Highness, I know!" Yang Lian didn't want to shield Xu Wenshou and the others, but he felt uncomfortable being used by Zhu Youjian as a saber envoy.

He turned around and said to the military officials accompanying him: "Take me to the Wucheng Bingma Division..."

"Yes."

Knowing that my lord has lost face, the officers of the military department are also very helpless, but their military department needs to monitor the affairs of the military officials. After the twenty-six guards of Shangzhi were taken away by the Ministry of War, they fell under the scope of supervision.

In this way, more than [-] people including Xu Wenshou were taken away from Andingmen one after another like eggplants beaten by frost.

At this time, there were only more than [-] people left in Habayashi Sanwei, who originally had more than [-] people.

Soon, Lu Wenzhao came to the window of Zhu Youjian's car with six volumes in hand:
"Your Highness, the registration is complete, a total of [-] people, but..."

Speaking of this, Lu Wenzhao said in a low voice: "I looked at the humble officials, and many of them are local hooligans. I'm afraid it's useless to drag them into the battlefield."

"Have you ever been on the battlefield?" Zhu Youjian glanced at Lu Wenzhao, who bowed slightly:

"In the Battle of Salhu, the humble staff was sent to contact the Yehenala tribe of Haixi Jurchen, so it can be regarded as having been on the battlefield."

"Never mind, take them all away..." Zhu Youjian glanced at the roster and said:

"If it is to supplement soldiers for training, this group of people can be regarded as civilian husbands to repair the Qingling Mausoleum."

"Are all the armor and weapons taken back?"

"It's taken back, one thing is not bad." Lu Wenzhao bowed slightly, and Zhu Youjian nodded slightly when he heard this:
"In that case, tell Brother Huang what happened here, and let's go."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youjian looked at the livid Yang Lian and said:
"Yang is in the middle of the matter, do you want to go together in a lonely chariot?"

"No need! This old man is born to work hard, Your Highness's carriage is expensive, and this old man is not used to it!" Yang Lian waved his sleeves, turned and walked towards his poor carriage.

"This little old man's bones are quite tough, that's all, let's go..." Zhu Youjian glanced at him and closed the car window.

Seeing this, Lu Wenzhao got on his horse, and then temporarily acted as the commander of the Habayashi Sanwei, leading more than [-] people including the Habayashi Sanwei and Jin Yiwei to head towards Changping.

"Finally gone..."

Seeing that Zhu Youjian had finally taken the man away, the Anding Gate guard couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then asked the man to collect the city tax honestly as usual.

In this way, the Anding Gate was restored to its original state, but the matter of the Anding Gate was stabbed to the Qianqing Palace after the Chang Dynasty was over.

Dingguo Gong Xu Xigao hurriedly trot from Wuying Hall after the court was over, and saw the walking chariot in Wenlou before Zhu Youxiao returned to Qianqing Palace.

"Long live! Minister Xu Xigao, please see me long live!"

"stop……"

As soon as Xu Xigao's voice came out, Zhu Youxiao, who didn't know why, told people to stop.

"Dinggong, what's wrong?"

Zhu Youxiao looked towards Xu Xigao, and had to say that Xu Xigao looked good, with a medium build and a jade-like appearance, few people would have a bad first impression of him.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao stopped, Xu Xigao hurried up to compose:
"Long live, minister Xu Xigao is guilty!"

"Huh?" Zhu Youxiao was taken aback by Xu Xigao, but Xu Xigao said proactively:
"Xu Wenshou, Xue Che, and Li Sen of the three guards of the Yubayashi three privately ate the sergeant's empty salary, and were found out by His Highness the Fifth Highness at the Anding Gate during the court meeting. Please long live to punish the crime of the minister!"

"..." Seeing Xu Xigao knelt down suddenly and confessed that something had happened, Zhu Youxiao's expression changed from the initial doubts to a slight frown to a flat expression.

Zhu Youxiao saw that this Xu Xigao was advancing by retreating. On the surface, he was talking about punishing crimes, but in fact he was here to test whether he meant the three guardians of the Habayashi, or his brother.

If it is what he meant, then does it mean that he is going to start rectifying the Jingying and Shangzhi twenty-six guards.

If it's what Zhu Youjian meant, then can the three of them, Xu Wenshou, be spared the death penalty.

"As for Xu Wenshou and the others, I still need to ask the fifth brother of the emperor for details. The matter has nothing to do with Duke Ding, so don't take it to heart."

"If the three of Xu Wenshou are really paid for nothing, and if the evidence is convincing, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment will know what to do."

"If Xu Wenshou and the others are not there, then I will apologize to the three of them on behalf of the fifth brother of the emperor."

"I don't dare! The three of them are guilty!" Xu Xigao replied with a clear voice.

He could hear the meaning of Zhu Youjian's words. This matter was caused by Zhu Youjian, but he couldn't trouble Zhu Youjian.

The matter of the three of Xu Wenshou is very serious, and Zhu Youxiao alone cannot solve it, unless the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment are willing to defend them and reduce their sentences.

Xu Xigao heaved a sigh of relief when he knew the truth. As for the matter with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment, he would naturally find a way to solve it.

"Mr. Dingguo has toiled too much. I don't blame you for the matter of Habayashi Sanwei. Take a good rest. After I understand what happened, I will talk to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment."

"Thank you for your grace..."

Seeing that Xu Xigao had nothing to say, Zhu Youxiao nodded and motioned Wei Zhongxian to continue driving.

"Putting out the Qianqing Palace~" Wei Zhongxian shouted, and the chariot continued to walk towards the Qianqing Palace.

As the chariot walked away, Xu Xigao got up slowly, looking at the back of Zhu Youxiao on the chariot with a strange expression.

Although the meaning of Zhu Youxiao's words is very clear, he still doesn't believe it.

Zhu Youjian is no more than a child with a yellow mouth, how could he have the courage to use the charge of disturbing the Andingmen to check on the three guards of Habayashi on the spot?
But he couldn't doubt Zhu Youxiao, if Jin Yiwei found out, he might be implicated too.

So after thinking about it, he was still going to go to Wucheng Bingmasi to ask what happened, and after making sure that the thing was caused by Zhu Youjian, he would go to someone to find a solution.

Thinking of this, he turned around and walked towards Xihuamen, and at the same time, Zhu Youxiao also got the news sent by Lu Wenzhao.

A detailed document was delivered to him, but he glanced at it and closed the document without sadness or joy.

Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to ask more questions, but he could tell that Zhu Youxiao was not in a good mood.

The chariot continued to walk towards the Qianqing Palace. The deep and shallow footprints of the entourage, as well as the snow-covered Forbidden City, only made people feel a sense of loneliness welling up in their hearts.

The vermilion high wall does not imprison people, but people's hearts...
