Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 668 Xu Yingxu’s certificate of surrender!
Zhu Yunwen immediately laughed when he heard Qin Deshun's spineless words. Little did he know that Lao Zhu, who was watching the excitement, also laughed when he saw this, and he smiled even happier and with a little bit of relief.

"Alone!"

"If you can convince the defenders inside to obey Gu, Gu will let you command Dongchang after he ascends the throne!"

Qin Deshun's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He had always thought that Dongchang was very secretive and few people knew about it. How could anyone who wanted to be monitored by him tell the truth at once?

Zhu Yunwen felt so happy when he saw the shock on Qin Deshun's face.

In fact, he had long known that the emperor used eunuchs to monitor him, so he had basically not used eunuchs in these years, and had been selecting palace maids in the fief to serve him.

After hooking up with Emperor Kanhito, he even introduced many Japanese "from the palace" through Emperor Kannin to serve as palace servants.

In order to prevent Grandpa Huang from noticing, he also spent a lot of effort to instigate a few Dongchang informants and let them continuously send back irrelevant news to paralyze the dead eunuch Qin Deshun.

"Eunuch Qin, you never expected that the spy you arranged for Gu has long since become Gu's person. Everything you know is what Gu wants you to know!"

Qin Deshun praised him sincerely when he heard this.

"His Royal Highness King Wan has grown up!"

"If His Highness could have such a palace in the early years, His Majesty would not..."

When Qin Deshun said this, he couldn't help but secretly sigh, thinking that the emperor really had the idea of ​​​​making Zhu Yunwen the crown prince, and his idea was very firm.

Because at that time Zhu Yunxi was not only incompetent, but could even be said to be a little transparent in the palace. If it were not for looking at the royal jade plate, many people would hardly know that this person existed.

Who would have thought that a wake and a beating would completely bring Zhu Yunxi into the eyes of the emperor, and then step by step the emperor would overturn his established thoughts, abandon Zhu Yunxi, and finally choose Zhu Yunxi.

However, judging from the current results, the emperor made the right choice. Zhu Yunxi was an exemplary person both as a person and as a king, and even did many things better than the emperor.

As for Zhu Yunwen...

It's hard for him to be able to jump so high. Maybe the peak of his life will be rebellion.

When Lao Zhu heard Zhu Yunwen's words, he couldn't help but look at the child. He thought to himself that this child has really grown a lot in these years, and has actually learned to play tricks on him?

But Lao Zhu will not look down on him just because he can play tricks. He has seen a lot of tricks in his life, and he can still be fooled by Zhu Yunwen's tricks?
He stumbled this time because he caught up with Qin Deshun, a fool who wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Jin Yiwei, which weakened Jin Yiwei's supervision, which gave Zhu Yunwen an opportunity to take advantage of.

Coupled with his abdication, the guards are not as tight as they were in earlier years.

Otherwise, let alone four killers, even if this guy brings in forty, he can chop them into pulp in the blink of an eye!

"Eunuch Qin, do you know what to say when you get in?"

"Know!"

"Just say that the emperor has an order for your people to take over the responsibility of guarding the palace."

Zhu Yunwen nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

"As expected of the old man that Grandpa Huang is used to, he just knows how to talk and do things."

"Then when you go in, you must not disappoint me..."

"If you dare to play any tricks, you will be alone..."

Zhu Yun glanced at Lao Zhu who was sitting on the chair anxiously, and then gritted his teeth and said to Qin Deshun.

"Just stab your old master!"

Qin Deshun looked frightened when he heard this and quickly begged.

"Your Highness Prince Wan, please calm down and please don't do anything stupid..."

"This slave will tell the people in the palace to let them out of the palace for you!"

After Qin Deshun said this, he ran out and led the people brought by Zhu Yunwen into the palace.

However, as soon as several people entered the palace gate, Qin Deshun changed his face instantly and ordered the Yulin guards guarding the gate to take down the person who was supervising him.

"Get these thieves down!"

Wang Meng, the commander of the Yulin Guards, heard this and immediately stepped forward to control Zhu Yunwen's men.

"Eunuch Qin, are you under their control?"

Qin Deshun nodded with slight hesitation upon hearing this.

"Yes!"

"But don't act rashly. Zhu Yunwen is crazy now. No one knows what he can do!"

"You should take care of these people first, and let's go to the harem to find some empresses and ask them to hide the prince quickly!"

This was the reason why Qin Deshun agreed to enter the palace to lobby. Both he and Lao Zhu had thought that once Zhu Yunwen was allowed to enter the palace, Zhu Yunxi's son would be in danger.

Zhu Yunwen, who was waiting outside the door, saw that half an hour had passed and there was still no movement at the palace gate, so he became a little panicked on the spot.

"Eunuch Qin, get out of here!"

"If you don't come out, you will be alone..."

At this moment, there was a "bang" from the firecracker above the city gate, and a piece of lead flew past Zhu Yunwen's scalp.

Wang Meng fired a gun, but when he saw that Zhu Yunwen was not hit, he was so angry that he cursed his mother on the city gate tower.

"My mother's legs, she usually practices very well, but she goes off the rails when the time comes!"

Zhu Yunwen was so frightened by the shot that he hid behind people and shouted loudly at the people on the wall.

"You dare to attack Gu?"

"Come on!"

"Push the cannon over here and blow open this broken door!"

"promise!"

Although the palace gate is thick, it is still vulnerable to cannons.

After a loud explosion, the palace gate had long been broken into pieces, leaving only an empty doorway.

"kill!"

"Find out Zhu Yunxi's evil deeds!"

When Wang Meng heard that they were planning to harm the little prince, he summoned all the palace guards on the spot and formed a human wall to block the door, intending to defend the safety of the little prince to the death.

Because Zhu Yunxi has always paid great attention to the safety of the palace guards, the weapons of the palace guards are very advanced, and many experimental items will be transferred to them for use.

As for Wang Meng not killing Zhu Yunwen with one shot, we can only say that he was too good...

Wang Meng led five hundred guards to resist desperately, and actually fought back the people who rushed in.

Zhu Yunwen never expected that he would blast the palace door open and still not be able to get in.

He was so angry that he killed two people who had escaped from the battle on the spot, and then stabilized the fleeing front.

Just when Zhu Yunwen wanted to continue to use cannons to clear the way, Wang Meng and others in the palace withdrew in a flash.

Not only did they no longer guard the palace gate, but they ran away from other palace gates!
Zhu Yunwen was stunned when he heard that all the guards at the palace gate had fled. He thought there could be some fraud, right?
In fact, there was only one reason why Wang Meng led his people to run away, and that was because Qin Deshun sent someone to send him a message, telling him that the young prince and the concubines in the harem had been transferred out.

He had one purpose in guarding the palace, and that was to guard the harem concubines and the young prince.

Now that the little prince and the concubines in the harem were transferred away by Qin Deshun, who else would he protect? Could it be that he was protecting the maids and eunuchs in the palace?
Zhu Yunwen seized the palace gate effortlessly, but when he led his men to kill the harem, he found that he had searched the entire harem but could not find Zhu Yunxi's traitorous son!

Zhu Yunwen ordered people to arrest several palace maids on the spot. He did not reveal the reason even though he was tortured. He was so angry that he ordered his people to behead several palace maids.

However, even in the face of death threats, the maids and eunuchs still could not reveal the whereabouts of the prince.

Zhu Yunwen saw that they really didn't know, so he stopped embarrassing them. He just ordered his people to control the palace, and then summoned all the ministers to go to Fengtian Palace to attend court.

As everyone knows, not long after Zhu Yunwen's forged imperial edict was issued, the sharp-eyed minister discovered the problem.

Because they haven't gone to Fengtian Palace to go to court for several years... Now that His Majesty the Emperor is away, it is even less possible for the old emperor to summon people to Fengtian Palace to hold a court meeting.

Therefore, when most of the courtiers heard the news, they instinctively felt that something was fishy.

Although most of the courtiers sensed that something was wrong, they still all chose to make a pilgrimage to the palace to fulfill their duties as courtiers.

Zhu Yunwen was well prepared for this operation and acted quickly. He did not give the court much time to react, so much so that he almost forced the palace to rebel. Most officials in the capital did not know about it. They only knew that soldiers were mobilized a bit frequently at night. The palace There was also a loud noise near the door.

However, when the officials in the capital went to court the next day and saw the empty palace gate, they instantly realized something was wrong.

Why is the palace gate gone?
They looked at the guards on both sides with suspicion. Although these guards were all wearing Feiyu uniforms, they looked awkward, as if they had been stolen from somewhere...

Generally speaking, not everyone can be a palace guard. They must be either a noble queen or the son of a soldier who died in battle. They must be absolutely loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Even if the above conditions are met, you still have to choose the appearance.Anyone who is not tall and burly cannot even touch the palace gate.

After all, the palace represents the majesty of the empire. If a group of skinny chicken-like people were to guard the door, not only the officials of the Ming Dynasty would not be able to bear it, but even the envoys from foreign vassals would laugh at it and think that there was no one in the Ming Dynasty.

The bodyguard Zhu Yunwen changed overnight could only guarantee absolute loyalty to him, but could not care about his body shape at all.

A group of ministers looked left and right at a group of guards, suppressing the confusion in their hearts, but they collectively collapsed when they entered the Fengtian Hall.

The first to bear the brunt are the three cabinet ministers.

Gao Ming took the lead and entered the main hall. When he saw that the main hall was empty, there was no shadow of the old emperor, no familiar figures of officials and eunuchs, he felt a little unhappy.

When he saw Zhu Yunwen coming over with an edict, his displeasure broke out on the spot, and he didn't even use the honorific.

"Why are you here, where is His Majesty the Emperor?"

Zhu Yunwen was so angry that he turned blue after hearing this.After all, he is still a county king, so Gao Ming has to call himself your highness, right?

"There is an imperial decree!"

When Gao Ming heard that there was an imperial edict, he knelt down with an unhappy face.

"I respectfully listen to the holy teaching..."

Seeing this, other ministers followed suit and knelt down to listen to the imperial edict.

When Zhu Yunwen saw everyone kneeling down, he opened the imperial edict and pretended to read it.

"Zhu Yunxi behaves erratically and has repeatedly disobeyed me. He cannot be reused..."

"Now he has neglected his family and country, abandoned his roots to pursue his inferiors, and traveled to Kangdu in the name of supervising wars. He can stand shoulder to shoulder with Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty..."

"Fortunately, thanks to the blessing of our ancestors, we have the great saint and grandson Zhu Yunzhen. He is loyal to the country, filial to his ancestors, loving his brothers and sisters, and loving the people."

"Today, I bear the pain to dethrone Zhu Yunxi from the throne and appoint Zhu Yunwen as his heir. I hope that all the people in the world will respect and love him..."

"Kin this!"

Zhu Yunwen said the last two words triumphantly, and before he could say anything, the three cabinet ministers headed by Gao Ming stood up in a flash.

"Bullshit!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is really stupid, how could he issue such an imperial edict!"

"His Majesty the Emperor worked hard to plan for the Ming Dynasty. In order to defeat the Timurid Empire, he even risked his own life and went to the front line. To be dismissed as just playing for fun is the most ridiculous thing in the world!"

"I hope His Majesty the Emperor will take back his order. Please forgive me for not obeying the imperial edict!"

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, his face turned livid with anger, and he pointed at Gao Ming's nose and cursed.

"Bold!"

"How dare you question Grandpa Huang's imperial edict!"

"Come here, push this traitor out and chop him down!"

As soon as Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, two short Japanese samurai ran over and dragged Gao Ming out.

At this moment, Xu Yingxu, the former commander of the North City Army and Horses Division, hurriedly ran over.

"His Royal Highness King Wan, this move is extremely unacceptable!"

"If you want to ascend the throne and become emperor, you cannot do without this person's assistance."

Zhu Yunwen snorted coldly when he heard this.

"I don't believe it anymore. Without this person, I can't be the emperor?"

"Your Highness does not know that all the edicts of the imperial court over the years have been drafted by this person. Only the edicts drafted by this person can be recognized by the local chief envoys of the Ming Dynasty!"

When Zhu Yunwen heard what Xu Yingxu said, he said angrily.

"In this case, then lock this person up temporarily and let him draft an edict on my accession to the throne!"

Xu Yingxu saw that Zhu Yunwen was calling himself "I", so he could only call him "Your Majesty".

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Haven't you heard? His Majesty said, lock this person up first!"

The two Japanese samurai immediately dragged Gao Ming down, but Gao Ming had a very explosive temper. Even if they stopped killing him, he would still curse.

"Zhu Yunwen, you treasonous villain, you will be punished by God sooner or later!"

"Xu Yingxu, you have aided Zhou and tarnished the loyal name of your ancestors. Let me see how you look when you go to see the King of Zhongshan in the future!"

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he felt murderous again, but before he could speak, he heard Xu Yingxu shouting with his feet jumping.

"Come here, stop this old guy's mouth. Don't let him disturb His Majesty's purity!"

Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen nodded approvingly towards Xu Yingxu.

"Xu Yingxu, when I become the emperor, I will naturally grant you many titles, and I will never let you see the King of Zhongshan without shame!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Zhu Yunwen heard this "Your Majesty", he raised his head and laughed happily.

"Hahaha!"

"You are a great person. No wonder my fourth uncle strongly recommends you to me!"

"I just don't know whether you are more loyal to me now or to King Yan."

Although Zhu Yunwen was able to enter the capital in the middle of the night this time, it was thanks to the assistance of Xu Yingxu, the commander of the North City Army and Horses Division, who opened the city gate for him in the middle of the night and let the Japanese warriors he secretly brought into the city.But Zhu Yunwen still couldn't believe Xu Yingxu, always feeling that this person had ulterior motives.

When Xu Yingxu heard this, he immediately knelt down and swore to the sky.

"Wei Chen is naturally loyal to His Majesty!"

"Although King Yan is kind to me, your Majesty is kind to me!"

Zhu Yunwen smiled meaningfully after hearing this.

"is it?"

"If you are really loyal to me, then kill someone for me and give me a certificate of surrender!"

"Kill who?"

Zhu Yunwen pointed at Yang Xinluo who was standing at the front.

"Just him!"

"As long as you kill him for me, I will believe in your loyalty!"
