Chapter 314: The pledge of allegiance

The crisis was resolved, and the crowd returned to order. The emperor quickly picked up the fourth prince who was hugging Qian Sheng from the ground, held him in his arms, and looked at the thin black-clothed boy with sharp eyes.

The boy lowered his head, and because he had used all his strength, he was breathing heavily at this moment.

Jiang Xinyue pushed away the guards who were protecting her, ran over to take the fourth prince, and touched his face: "Xiaoman, are you hurt?"

The fourth prince hugged her neck with both hands. He must have been scared and put his head on her shoulder for comfort.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid..."

Shuangjiang and Xiaoxiangzi hurried to help Qian Sheng and patted the dust off his body.

The man in black was about to leave when he was surrounded by the guards. The young men who had just injured someone by riding their horses were also captured.

Wang Dequan's face was full of anger: "Who are you? How dare you ride horses and injure people in Qinzhou during the summer vacation? Do you want to die?"

"Eunuch Wang!"

One of the arrested teenagers shouted: "Eunuch Wang, I am Silang, the chief priest of the Imperial Academy. We met him at the New Year's banquet last year."

He was eager to get rid of the guards' control: "Our teacher asked us to go out for study. When we passed through Yuzhou, we unexpectedly found that Yuzhou was suffering from a severe drought. The local governor did nothing and locked up all the people in Yuzhou in the city, allowing them to die of thirst due to lack of water and kill each other. After we discovered it, he even tried to kill people to silence them. Please tell the emperor, the governor of Yuzhou is disregarding human life. Please send people to rescue the people of Yuzhou as soon as possible."

"Royal Consort, Jiang Shouwei and Jiang Shoucheng from the Jiang family went on a study tour with us and were chased and killed on the way. Did they go to Chenzhou?"

Someone recognized Jiang Xinyue, and someone recognized Emperor Xuanwu: "Your Majesty, please severely punish the governor of Yuzhou and rescue the trapped Yuzhou County Magistrate and the people!"

Jiang Xinyue grabbed the emperor's sleeve: "Your Majesty, I have not seen my two cousins."

In other words, the two young men of the Jiang family have not been able to escape.

After such a thing happened, no one had the heart to play. After summoning local officials to comfort and compensate the merchants, the group hurried back to the palace.

Originally, Concubine Jiang was going to find a good opportunity to do what Jiang Xinyue had told her to do, but was interrupted because of the matter in Yuzhou. However, she became more and more concerned and would never let the Royal Consort down.

Jiang Yanxi heard that his son might be in danger, so he went to Yuzhou to meet him without taking a good rest.

"You just came back from Guangdong and Guangxi, and the letter from Concubine Yu hasn't been delivered to Guangdong and Guangxi yet. How do you know if he is chasing you? I should go."

"No!"

Jiang Yanxi retorted, "If it was only my family's guards, I could let you go without worry, but this time there is also my second brother's guards. You also know my second brother's bad character. Shoucheng is his life. When I brought Shoucheng to the capital, he repeatedly told me to take good care of Shoucheng. If anything happens to Shoucheng, my second brother might go crazy."

Jiang Yankun was brought to the capital by his parents when he was ten years old. He rarely interacted with his brothers and relatives in the old house, and the relationship was not deep.

Even Jiang Yanxi sought his protection because he was hunted down for reporting corruption to his superiors.

Even before going to Beijing, Jiang Yanxi was very nervous, not sure whether he would help him.

After getting along with each other, their relationship gradually improved.

If it was the second brother... This trip was not Jiang Yanxi but the unfamiliar Jiang Yankun. If Jiang Shoucheng was fine, it would be good. If something happened, the second brother would be angry with Jiang Yankun.

If the two families became enemies, it would be a huge trouble.

If a family is not united internally, the enemy will soon take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos and defeat them one by one.

"You all don't have to go."

Jiang Xinyue walked into the garden hall where the Jiang family lived: "The emperor has sent the late emperor's younger brother Zhu Qianyi to investigate with the Yu Lin army. He promised me that he would bring the two brothers back safely."

"The Zhu family?"

Jiang Yankun and Jiang Yanxi said at the same time: "Didn't the Zhu family get banished to the narrow alleys by the emperor?"

The narrow alleys in the capital are inhabited by homeless refugees who have nowhere to go. As the name suggests, the alleys are very narrow. If people want to get out of them, they have to lean sideways.

And if the Zhu family is pardoned or not, they will have to live in narrow alleys for the rest of their lives.

For the Zhu family who are used to a life of luxury, this is simply more painful than killing them.

Especially, among the exiled people, there are Zhu Qianyi's mother and several sisters.

"Why is Zhu Qianyi here? I have to ask Master Ma."

Jiang Xinyue looked back and saw the tall and strong Ma Yiyang, like a young wife, walking in by the door: "Sir, it's me... I was assassinated when I went to Miaojiang and was almost dead. He saved me. I thought that although the Zhu family fell, the emperor did not kill the Zhu family, which means he had other plans in mind. Since he did not intend to kill all the Zhus, Family members, that is to keep them useful, and the most capable male in the Zhu family is only Zhu Qianyi. I thought that the emperor might want to use him, so I saved him in the name of the Royal Concubine, so that he would know who the master he should repay in the future. "

It turned out that after Ma Yiyang abandoned Zhu Qianyi that day, he thought of the fifth prince in the imperial mausoleum, and always felt that this person might be of great use in the future, so he turned back and rescued him.

However, after saving him, Ma Yiyang abandoned him in Chenzhou, and he could not bring him into the temporary palace. What if

the emperor did not think so, and he guessed wrong, it would implicate you and the Royal Concubine, and he himself would be dead.

Who knew that he was so lucky that he actually saved the fourth prince. After the emperor recognized him, he immediately expressed his loyalty and was willing to serve the emperor, becoming the sharpest sword in his hand.

Moreover, after investigation by the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel and the Dali Temple, Zhu Qianyi was indeed not involved in the treason case, and the emperor agreed to give him a chance to show his abilities.

After Ma Yiyang finished speaking, everyone looked at Jiang Xinyue, who smiled at Ma Yiyang and said, "Master Ma is very smart. I have accepted your pledge of allegiance, but I would like to remind Master Ma that I do not like people who are too smart and too self-willed. If this happens again in the future, I hope that Master Ma will follow orders." Ma

Yiyang knelt down excitedly, "I respect the order of the Royal Concubine. From now on, I will obey you and the Queen and help her solve her problems."

Jiang Yankun opened his mouth wide, looking hurt. He thought that Ma Yiyang was impressed by his ability, so he swore allegiance to him, but he did not expect that he wanted to get in touch with his daughter through him.

What does it mean?

Is he not standing high enough?

Jiang Xinyue nodded, and while everyone was there, she told them what Concubine Jiang had said before, that another person in charge of the Ministry of Justice was a spy arranged by Duke Cheng, and told them that the spy had been on leave for a long time, and no one knew where he had gone.

It was a hidden danger.
