Ming Dynasty: Regrets about the Jingnan Rebellion? I changed it in a dream!

Chapter 79 Zhuang Mu's Misty Nebula

"Grandson, you can't even get close."

"These things are like cotton. The harder you push, the harder it gets."

Zhu Zhanji was also somewhat helpless.

He simply pushed away several Jinyiwei who were dispersing the nebula around him.

The area covered by this nebula is neither large nor small.

Probably with Zhuang Mu as the center, within five steps, there was this dazzling mist with the same color as the starry sky.

Since it's cotton, a knife can always cut it, right?
Zhu Zhanji drew the sword from his waist, then slashed towards the starry mist with great force.

next second.

When the Embroidered Spring Knife collided with the starry sky mist, the scene was not as he imagined, the starry sky mist was not dispelled.

Instead, all the strength he used was bounced back.

Click.

The embroidered spring sword in his hand was directly broken by the shock.

Zhu Zhanji looked at his shaking hands, feeling the strong backlash.

How the hell is this cotton?
Isn't it just a piece of hard iron?
He just didn't believe it, so he drew out the Embroidered Spring Sword of the Jinyiwei beside him again and continued to chop hard at the nebula mist.

But the result is still the same.

Both of his hands were hurting from the shock.

But this nebula mist remains intact.

Not even a scratch.

Even if a large piece of pig iron was placed here, after being cut by the Embroidered Spring Knife, it would be impossible for there to be no trace at all.

You can touch it with your hands, it really feels like soft cotton.

"Grandson, what should we do now?"

If you want to arrest Zhuang Mu, you must go through this nebula mist, but it is obvious.

This nebulous mist was repelling them.

Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to give up.

"Forget it, let's look for other clues and see if there are any useful ones."

But if there were any clues, Zhu Gaosui would have found them long ago, and it would not be his turn.

The end result was just as he expected.

There is nothing there, just a restaurant that is as ordinary as it can be.

The only special thing is the mysterious restaurant owner, Zhuang Mu.

I can only wait until Zhuang Mu wakes up tomorrow and then ask him.

……

Simultaneously.

What happened in the tavern soon reached the ears of Prince of Zhao Zhu Gaosui.

How could he not have any connections after being in charge of the Imperial Guard for so many years?

The person standing in front of Zhu Gaosui was a member of the Jinyiwei who followed Zhu Zhanji to investigate the case, and he was injured.

"You mean, the rebel wearing a dragon robe has appeared again?"

Although Zhu Gaosui was stripped of his position as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, no one knew whether Zhu Zhanji could keep the position.

Before this, Zhu Gaosui's name was still very important in the Jinyiwei.

"Yes, my lord. I saw it with my own eyes. The rebel was accompanied by a powerful guard."

"One person took the Crown Prince and several Jinyiwei away, and knocked them all down."

Zhu Gaosui frowned.

Damn, isn’t Zhu Zhanji’s luck too good?

I searched for three days but couldn't find a single thing.

Zhu Zhanji was investigating a case, and the traitors came to him on their own accord?

"You've done a great job. This money is your reward."

Zhu Gaosui didn't show any reaction and just threw a bag of silver to the Jinyiwei in front of him.

I am not as rich as my second brother.

It is impossible for him to have gold beans easily, but he can still afford this little bit of silver.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Although this amount of silver is a drop in the bucket for the Jinyiwei, Zhu Gaosui's attitude is the real reward.

As long as he can get Zhu Gaosui's approval.

In the Jinyiwei, shouldn’t his position be rising steadily?
Zhu Gaosui waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

Soon, only Zhu Gaosui and Di Ping were left here.

"Di Ping, do you think that Zhu Zhanji can find the rebels?"

If Zhu Zhanji could really catch the rebel, he could consolidate his position as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The situation was not favorable for him.

Di Ping thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I think that as long as the Crown Prince did not catch the rebel on the spot."

"It would be extremely difficult to catch the rebels in Yingtian Prefecture."

"My Lord, do you still remember that Taoist priest?"

In his opinion.

Zhu Zhanji had missed the best opportunity.

This was the case with the Taoist priest Fei Yuan Zhenjun back then.

Once out of the pub, the figure disappeared in an instant.

try to find?
They were just short of getting a list of all the Taoist priests in the country.

But there is still no trace.

Now, the rebel appeared in the tavern, and Zhu Zhanji failed to capture him on the spot.

Once they left the tavern, they were like fish entering the sea.

There is no way to investigate, and this is the strangest thing about these two cases.

It’s as if the door of the tavern leads to two different worlds.

Zhu Gaosui thought for a moment and said, "Are you saying that these two rebels will disappear like the Taoist priest?"

Di Ping nodded.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the rebel would be captured by the Jinyiwei the moment he stepped out of the tavern door.

The entire streets of Jinchuan city are filled with Jinyiwei people. I really can’t think of any other method that can make all the Jinyiwei in the city helpless.

"Hahaha, it looks like my eldest nephew will be busy."

……

then.

The Jinyiwei searched the entire Jinchuan street for the traces of the traitors.

It only took one afternoon.

The atmosphere in the entire Yingtian Prefecture became extremely tense.

No one knows whether the investigation of the traitors will lead to their own head. During the period when Ji Gang was in charge, the Jinyiwei did not look at the evidence when investigating a case, but just looked at whether it was pleasing to the eye.

Is it guilty?

Once in the imperial prison, all the criminal laws will turn innocent into guilty ones.

This matter soon spread to the palace.

In the Eastern Palace, Zhu Gaochi was grumbling with his thick lips as he flipped through the memorials in his hands.

Around him are officials who assist him in handling state affairs.

Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and others.

There are also ministers of various ministries.

Except for the two who were locked up in the Shangshufang.

"Zheng He has arrived at the Lingshan Holy Tomb to pay homage. Is there any news about Chen Cheng?"

There were two diplomatic envoys in the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng He, who led a fleet to travel around the Southeast Asian countries.

The other is Chen Cheng, a diplomat who is responsible for contacting countries in the Western Regions.

He also wrote "Travels in the Western Regions" and "Records of Vassal States in the Western Regions" to help the lost countries in the Western Regions to re-establish diplomatic relations with the Central Plains.

He just doesn't have a strong presence. If he hadn't seen the memorial sent back by Zheng He, he would have almost forgotten about this person.

"Reporting to the Crown Prince, Chen Cheng has traveled to the Western Regions many times, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"Not informing the court is also his style."

Zhu Gaochi nodded. He was just asking a question.

If there was any news about Chen Cheng, he would write it directly on Zheng He's memorial and let Zhu Di read the basic diplomatic progress at the same time.

Convenient and simple.

If not, then there is no need to write it and just give it to Zhu Di to read.

Just when Zhu Gaochi put down the memorial in his hand and was about to pick up another one, an official hurriedly ran into Zhu Gaochi's study.

"Your Highness, this is bad!"

Looking at the official, Zhu Gaochi raised his head and glanced at him, then said calmly, "The sky hasn't fallen yet, why are you panicking?"

"What's the matter? Tell me."

The officials around him just looked up and then turned their attention to the memorials in front of them.

"In order to investigate the case of the usurpation of the dragon robe, the Crown Prince dispatched Wei Yun and other Jinyiwei to search for the rebels from house to house."

“It made everyone panic.”

"Even, even..."

Zhu Gaochi suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Even what?"

"Even the homes of the King of Han, the King of Zhao, and the ministers were not spared."

"Investigate strictly!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi's chubby face froze into an awkward expression.

well.

The sky is about to fall.

Zhu Gaochi asked quickly.

"Is this the Emperor's instruction?"

It would not be a wise move to hastily investigate the homes of ministers and princes without the emperor's order.

Because of Ji Gang.

Zhu Di is now very dissatisfied with some of the actions of the Jinyiwei.

Among them, people were arrested and investigated without imperial orders.

The official shook his head.

"The emperor did not issue an edict to thoroughly investigate all the people in the city."

"Instead, I reminded you not to make too much noise about this matter."

Listen to this.

Zhu Gaochi's world also collapsed completely.

So he hurriedly said, "Go, send someone to call this brat back to me!"

"This little bastard, is he really trying to turn the world upside down by investigating a case?"

……

soon.

Zhu Zhanji returned to the East Palace.

He came to the study of the Eastern Palace and stood in front of Zhu Gaochi.

At this time, all the ministers in the study had left, leaving only the father and son.

"Dad, you called me back, what's the matter?"

Zhu Gaochi turned around and looked at Zhu Zhanji with a serious expression.

"I heard that you used all means to investigate the case, even sending people to break into people's homes to search."

"Even the King of Han and the King of Zhao are no exception."

Zhu Zhanji nodded.

"Yes."

"How dare you say yes? Who told you to do this? The Jinyiwei has a bad reputation to begin with."

"The old man let the third son take charge of the Jinyiwei, and its reputation was slightly better. If you do this, the reputation of the Jinyiwei will be notorious and synonymous with lawlessness!"

"If the old man knew, how long do you think you can keep this position?"

"You don't listen to me, so can you ignore the old man's words?"

Since Zhu Di said so, don't make a big deal out of it.

In fact, the implication is to try to improve the reputation of the Jinyiwei, not to mention gaining the support and love of the people.

At the very least, when the people see the Jinyiwei, what they will think about is whether they have committed a crime, rather than whether they have offended the Jinyiwei?

Allowing people who have not done anything wrong to face the Jinyiwei with confidence is what Zhu Di wanted.

Zhu Zhanji said bluntly.

"Dad, I don't want to do this either."

"But today I went to the pub that Grandpa often went to to investigate a case. Do you know what happened?"

"Those two traitors appeared right in front of me."

"You beat up my people and then ran away. How can I not be anxious?"

He had no other choice but to do this.

If Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui knew about this, the thief would appear right in front of them but they would not be able to catch him.

If this were to get to Zhu Di, it would be an even bigger problem as he would appear to be incompetent.

I had no choice but to search the whole city.
