The outline of Luzhou City was already in front of me. Pegasus first went to report it. Then the city caused a sensation. The local prefect and the commander of Guangxi rushed over with the civil and military officials in the city. Some people didn't even care about their boots, and their faces looked like earth, and they were shocked and suspicious.

The cavalry of the brigade had arrived at the city, and then these fierce knights made their debut and pulled out one by one.

All the officials did not recognize the saint, and the person who came was wearing ordinary armor was nothing special. However, looking at his tiger eyes looking around, how could everyone dare to hesitate? They bowed together in the mud and said in unison: "Welcome Your Majesty."

Zhu Di turned over and got off the horse, stepped on the mud, ignored them, and then walked into the city.

Dozens of personal guards also dismounted and quickly chased after him. The horses behind followed him step by step and entered the city in a mighty manner.

Zhu Di's face was full of wind and frost. Looking at this small mansion, he did not have the intention to look at it, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes of life with a deep feeling of fatigue.

However, his steps were still firm and his momentum was still full of momentum. Any city had rules and regulations. Wherever the yamen was, anyone who knew the rules often knew without looking for it.

Zhu Di's purpose was the prefect's yamen. At this time, someone had come here at the door opening and whispered: "Please come into the yamen and wait for your order."

After hearing this, dozens of officials climbed out of the mud, and didn't care about the dirt and went into the city obediently. These big men who were usually arrogant are now in a mess, but they have no temper at all, and even think it is for granted.

When he arrived at the prefect's office, the tired Zhu Di had already sat down steadily. He looked tired and took a sip of tea, then glanced at the two squads of civil and military officials standing upside down.

Without going around the bush, I asked straightforwardly: "I received a report on the road saying that Lang San is fine. Is this... true?"

I did receive the report. There were many reports along the way, all of which were shocking. The only news that made Zhu Di feel slightly relieved was that there seemed to be nothing wrong with Lang San.

Zhu Di suddenly asked, and the civil and military ministers could not help but look at each other. The Luzhou prefect had no choice but to come out and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know much about Lang Shan..."

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "The report I received was that thousands of rebels attacked the county town with thousands of civilians and were defeated by the musket team. Is there any such incident?"

The Luzhou prefect thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid... there will be differences." He really didn't dare to confirm. After all, there were too many things to falsely report the credit. After all, there were tens of thousands of people, but they were defeated by the 300 musket team. If you say this, I'm afraid that not many people will believe it.

Of course, the Luzhou prefect also had selfish intentions, because the rebels had spread to other counties in Luzhou Prefecture, and many officers and soldiers transporting grain in other places were killed. The local garrison officers and soldiers were also defeated. Not only did he dare not go out of the city to fight, he hurried in the city and waited until the thieves dispersed before he dared to open the city gate, so that the officers and soldiers and officers in the city went out to "kill the thieves".

Compared with Lang Sang County, his Luzhou Prefecture is simply a joke. Once the imperial envoy is impeached, the court will pursue it. His black hat will be lost.

If this is the case everywhere, at least one can defend himself. It is said that the thief is very powerful and the rebels are aggressive. However, the thiefs in Liangshan County have defeated tens of thousands of thieves. The more than a thousand rebels who have wandered near the city of the capital are scared that the governor of Luzhou is so incompetent. Does he have the face to defend himself?

In my heart, he naturally felt that this should be a false report of his achievements. Now that the emperor has arrived, he asked himself, so he gritted his teeth and said, "The officials thought that the 300 musketeers reported by Lang Sang County defeated thousands of rebels and appeased tens of thousands of chaotic people. It should be the habit of the border town. In recent years, many border towns have precedents for falsely reporting military merits. I think, Lang Sang County... Lang Sang County..."

Zhu Di's face turned gloomy: "What you mean is that Lang Sang may not have defeated the rebels, and there may be rebels stranded. But the Lang Sang County Magistrate was afraid that the court would punish him for losing his territory, so he made such a report? Or maybe Lang Sang County might have won a small victory, and most of the rebels were not damaged. In order to repay the merits, Lang Sang County made such a report?"

After all, Zhu Di's throne did not fall from the sky, and he had stayed in Peking. Of course, he knew the inside story here. In the border town, he had lost the battle but lied that there were many victories. Even if he defeated thieves, he dared to claim that he had defeated tens of thousands of thieves. There are countless such things. He had long been doubtful. Now the Luzhou prefect said this again, which made him even more shaken.

Zhu Di took out a message that had been hidden in his sleeve, and read it again and again. The message was not Hao Fenglou or King Zhao's Chen, but by the magistrate of Langshan County Xi Fan. Zhu Di didn't know much about this Xi Fan. At this time, his eyes narrowed and he couldn't help laughing: "I originally believed that Langshan might be peaceful. The reason I firmly believed that these three hundred musketeers could break tens of thousands of thieves, fight in one battle, kill two thousand enemies, capture more than two thousand people, and all the others ran away with their heads in their arms. The reason I believe... it's just because I hope this is happening, so I have always told me so repeatedly that this matter will never be false. Perhaps it is really God's blessing, and the ancestors appeared, and such a miracle happened."

He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But I also understand how a small county town can withstand so many rebels, how can a fierce battle kill ten times or twenty times the enemy? I have won many great victories since I joined the army, but such a miracle is unprecedented. Even when facing 500,000 Southern Army, I have never destroyed all the Southern Army in a fierce battle. If the report said that 300 muskets were used to repel the rebels, the rebels had to divide their troops to all gates in the county town, and the muskets took advantage of the situation to attack one of their battalions and win a complete victory, I might still believe it. But today I heard what you said in your family, and it felt reasonable."

The governor of Luzhou breathed a sigh of relief. He was actually very confused and just said with a tough bullet: "Your Majesty is wise."

Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhu Di couldn't help but burst into tears and suddenly said, "So, Liang San County is still in a dangerous situation. I have made a big mistake. I shouldn't have let Hao Fenglou go to Annan at this time, nor should I have allowed Sui'er to come to Annan. There is also Ling'er. Her father and I are brothers of my family. My brotherhood with King Xiang is deeper than other brothers. The whole Xiang King's family was destroyed in the fire, leaving only Ling'er alone... Alas... I have made a big mistake, but I don't know if this big mistake can be made up."

Zhu Di's eyes were completely red, and he ordered: "Call the soldiers to prepare and prepare to set off immediately after resting." Then he stood up, his whole body looked old, and the deep fatigue on his face changed to an indescribable uneasiness. He said coldly: "I have never regretted anything I have done in my life, but I really regret it today. I just hope that things will not be so bad that I can't live in my life. If... if... if someone makes me regret it for the rest of my life, then I will turn Annan over and over. No matter who it is, no matter how many people it involves, I will cut them into pieces and let them die without a place to die."

Zhu Di's strange behavior and strange talks made these civil and military officials in Guangxi confused. Zhu Di didn't care about their opinions, and waved his hand straightforwardly: "Go down, I want to take a break."

Everyone had to retreat.

After leaving the yamen, the prefect and the commander gathered together, all of whom showed uneasiness. They felt that His Majesty's behavior was a bit unexpected, especially the prefect of Luzhou, who always felt that he had done something wrong.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the yatang, Zhu Di clenched his hands into a fist and supported his forehead to take a nap. But he couldn't sleep no matter what. Every time he just fell asleep, he seemed to be awakened by a nightmare, his eyes slightly opened, and finally sighed, "Tea, let's have tea."

The nearby servant immediately poured hot tea, but Zhu Di didn't go to drink it, just stared blankly at the heat rising from the teacup.

Finally, he suddenly said, "Has Zheng He rested?"

Zheng He also came with him. Although he was a master eunuch, he had followed Zhu Di to fight south and north in the past and had long been used to this military career. Therefore, this time, Zhu Di still took him with him.

Since Your Majesty asked, a short time later, Zheng He rushed over anxiously and said, "What are your Majesty's instructions?"

Zhu Di looked at him and said, "The soldiers have all stopped?"

Zheng He said: "Yes, everything has been arranged, and the arrangements on Luzhou Prefecture are quite appropriate."

Zhu Di smiled bitterly and said, "I really wish they were all heavenly soldiers and generals, and they were all iron-clad. I have already wanted to set off now. If I don't go and see what happened on Langshan with my own eyes, I will always be worried."

"That guy Sui'er is a bit nonsense, but among the three sons, I know that the one who is most affectionate and righteous is him. And Hao Fenglou, who is usually for me, never said he was tired. When he was in the capital, he did it right, but he offended the ministers of the capital. I am his adoptive father and the emperor. I should have protected him completely, but I was still afraid of trouble, but I ordered him to come to Annan to hide. Ling'er is usually taciturn, and every time I see her, I can think of her father. Oh... I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore. I am really old. I heard that people will only talk like this when they are old, and they will be like this... Have tea, and have a few sips of tea with me."
