Traveling Through the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: The Ming Zun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 484
I heard Zhang Wuji ask about Wei Yixiao's whereabouts.

Yang Xiao immediately said: "Wei Bat King is currently lurking in Jinling City to spy on the whereabouts of Master Wu, Uncle Yin Guo and others. However, it is not known where they are being held by Zhu Yuanzhang. He seems to hide them on purpose to prevent our experts from waiting for an opportunity to rescue them." Yang Xiao sighed after speaking, "The most difficult enemies in this world must be those who know you very well."

Zhang Wuji asked: "Uncle is the minister in charge of the guards and the commander of the imperial army. It makes sense for him to be by Jiuzhen's side. But why is Uncle Wu here? Before I left, didn't he say he was going back to Lianhuanzhuang?"

Yang Xiao replied: "Ah, this matter is the fault of my subordinates. Before that, the owner of Wu Zhuang really wanted to go back to Lianhuan Village and enshrine the dragon-slaying knife in the ancestral hall of Wu family's sages. But my subordinates persuaded him to stay after thinking about it."

"Before, the leader gave the Dragon Slaying Saber to Master Wu in an open and honest manner. There is no need to worry about young people taking it. But the Dragon Slaying Saber has the power to command the Jianghu. After discussing with the Eagle King, I did not let Master Wu return to Lianhuanzhuang. Instead, he was left behind and used the name of Dragon Slaying Saber to attract the masters of the Jianghu to work for us."

"With the Dragon Slaying Knife commanding the rivers and lakes, and your prestige as the leader, it has indeed attracted many heroes to join us. It's just that Zhu Mistress and the Dragon Slaying Knife are now in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands. Presumably this villain is also trying to do the same. He wants to use the name of the emperor and the Dragon Slaying Knife to recruit soldiers and expand his strength."

"Furthermore, my subordinates heard that Zhu Yuanzhang held a canonization ceremony a few days ago, and Zhang Wuji, the 'Dragon and Phoenix Emperor', canonized him as the King of Wu in the name of Emperor Mingzun. It seems that this traitor wants to be the second Cao Cao."

Hearing this, Zhang Wuji sneered and said, "Hehe, I don't think he wants to be Cao Cao, but Sima Zhao, the regicide."

Others don't know Zhu Yuanzhang's ability and character, but Zhang Wuji is clear as a time traveler.

To the common people, Zhu Yuanzhang is indeed a rare good emperor.First, the Northern Expedition successfully expelled Hu Yuan and restored the Han family.An empty seal case punished corrupt officials and beheaded tens of thousands of corrupt officials who broke the law.

Such thunderous monarchs have been rare since ancient times.

As for the Hu Weiyong case, he abolished the prime minister system, established six ministries, strengthened centralization, consolidated power, and laid a stable foundation.Although this method is not benevolent, there is nothing wrong with it.

But although Zhu Yuanzhang was the hero of the Ming army, Zhang Wuji also looked down on him.That is, we can only share adversity, not wealth.Because of Zhu Biao's sudden death, in order to consolidate his own country, he allowed Zhu Yunqi, a yellow-mouthed boy, to take over the throne smoothly, and killed many capable officials and generals including Lan Yu and Li Shanchang, making great contributions to the founding of the country.Even Liu Bowen and Xu Da in his later years died without knowing why.

As a result, in the later period when Zhu Yunqi cut down the vassals, when Yan Wang Zhu Di was in trouble, Zhu Yunqi had no generals to use.

If he had never crossed over, or had not become Zhang Wuji, then Zhang Wuji must have supported Emperor Hongwu.At least he is a diligent and loving monarch.Compared with other kings, Zhu Yuanzhang is still very sympathetic to the people.

But right now he is Zhang Wuji, and Zhang Wuji's prototype is Han Lin'er.The emperor Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill was him, and the throne he wanted to usurp was also his.

From this standpoint, Zhang Wuji naturally would not sympathize with such "rebellious officials and thieves".Zhang Wuji would naturally not leave behind any hidden dangers that would shake the empire.However, it would be troublesome to kill him right now.

Even with Zhang Wuji's current strength, he could be crushed to death with just a few fingers.But Zhu Yuanzhang is the leader of the Huaixi Group, if he dies for no reason, then the south will be in chaos.If the world is in chaos right now, it will be the Mongolian and Yuan courts and neighboring Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang who will benefit.

It is a great disadvantage to myself, a "named emperor" who has no basis.Besides, Zhu Yuanzhang and his brothers had saved Zhang Wuji's life.If he was killed by force, it would only hurt the hearts of Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He and others.

Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He, Feng Sheng and others are all rare generals, and such talents should be recruited under his command.

It's just that they have a close relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Chang Yuchun was Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant for many years.Tang He and Xu Da are brothers from the same hometown of Zhu Yuanzhang.There are these relationships here.Not to mention that the corner of the wall is not easy to dig, Zhang Wuji can't execute Zhu Yuanzhang without reason.

To kill him at least need to give Xu Da and others a reasonable reason.Otherwise, people's hearts will be hard to accept, and Xu Da and others may feel that they are ungrateful people.

After all, when he and Yang Buhui were in danger in Fengyang, it was Xu Da who helped them. Although it didn't help much, it at least helped them delay.The beef they ate afterwards was also stolen by Zhu Yuanzhang.

With this kindness, this person is not so easy to kill.

But at this time Zhang Wuji remembered two important things.One is why Xu Da and Chang Yuchun assisted Zhu Yuanzhang in rebelling against him.Although my relationship with Xu Da is not as strong as Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang, it can be regarded as a fateful friendship.

Not to mention his own black-faced god, brother Chang Yuchun.

The two had become brothers with different surnames when they were in Butterfly Valley, and the injuries on his body were also rescued by Zhang Wuji at the cost of losing his life.And Chang Yuchun is just Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant and subordinate, not his fellow countrymen or friends, it stands to reason that Chang Yuchun has a closer relationship with him.Why did he also assist Zhu Yuanzhang in plotting rebellion?
However, Zhang Wuji later understood this problem. Perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang had deceived his two elder brothers.After all, in the original book, Zhu Yuanzhang used Han Lin'er to make a fuss and alienated the relationship between Zhang Wuji and Xu Dachang Yuchun, which made Zhang Wuji feel cold, and later gave up the throne for Zhao Min.

And Zhu Yuanzhang in this time and space may have "murdered" Zhang Wuji with Liu Futong, Yang Xiao and others, and then used Zhu Jiuzhen as a puppet to fool everyone with evil intentions.

The two older brothers Xu Da and Chang Yuchun are righteous people, they must have heard this, and then wanted to avenge their "brother", so they were willing to rebel against their "brother" for Zhu Yuanzhang's predecessor.

But Zhang Wuji thought of another question.

So Zhang Wuji asked: "That's right! Wasn't Zhu Yuanzhang one of Guo Zixing's subordinates before? Where was Guo Zixing? I traveled thousands of miles to rescue Guo Tianxu myself. Could it be that their father and son let Zhu Yuanzhang do anything wrong? Besides, they should be canonized even if they are canonized. How could Zhu Yuanzhang be canonized?"

Then Zhang Wuji frowned and asked, "Where did Guo Tianxu and his son go?"

Hearing Zhang Wuji's question, Yang Xiao and Liu Futong were silent, and then they both sighed sadly.

Seeing the sudden lack of frankness of these two people, Zhang Wuji continued to ask: "Why don't you talk anymore? Where did their father and son go? Didn't you say that Guo Tianxu led troops to rescue him before? Where is he now?"
