Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 669: His Majesty asked you to kill a few more!

Xu Yingxu looked along Zhu Yunwen's finger and was almost frightened to death by the person he was pointing to.

This person was none other than Yang Xinluo, another cabinet minister and one of Zhu Yunxi's masters.

If I kill this old man, will Zhu Yunxi still destroy his three clans when he comes back?

"Your Majesty, you want to kill Master Yang. Isn't this inappropriate?"

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, a sneer appeared on his face.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid that Zhu Yunxi will come back and cause trouble for you?"

When Xu Yingxu heard this, he quickly denied it.

"No, no, no, I am loyal to Your Majesty. How can I be afraid that Zhu Yunxi will come back and cause trouble?"

"Wei Chen heard that Yang Xinlu and others once taught his majesty and other princes and grandsons to study in the main hall. In any case, they can be regarded as half of your teachers."

"If you kill him, won't you make everyone in the world laugh at you?"

"This……"

Zhu Yunwen is relatively shameless, especially because he is afraid of being criticized by the world.

If he really kills his teacher, no matter how he cleans himself up, no one in the world will let him go!
"In this case, let's lock up Yang Xinlu and Qin Hengbo like Gao Ming!"

"promise!"

Xu Yingxu was afraid that Zhu Yunwen would regret it, so he quickly agreed, and then personally escorted the two of them out of the hall.

Yang Xinlu and Qin Hengbo were not as violent as Gao Ming. They didn't say a word from beginning to end and silently followed Xu Yingxu out of the hall.

However, the two of them walked not far and when they saw no one on either side, Yang Xinluo asked in a low voice.

"Did you pretend to surrender to Zhu Yunwen under someone's order?"

When Xu Yingxu heard this, he couldn't help but trembled, and then turned back and glared at Yang Xinlu with an unkind expression.

"Master Yang must be careful, I, Mr. Xu, am optimistic that His Highness King Wan can achieve great things, so I followed His Highness King Wan!"

Although Xu Yingxu said this, he still said it when he was about to put Yang Xinlu and Qin Hengbo in prison.

"The two masters might as well advise Master Gao and tell him that everything is under control so that he doesn't have to insist too much."

When the two heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, showing expressions of sudden realization.

"Oh oh oh...we understand..."

"By the way, has His Majesty come back?"

"Yes... no no no, no..."

"What's going on with you two old men? Why are you talking so much!"

"Hurry in, if you can't persuade Gao Ming to abandon the dark side and join the bright side, you will die together with Gao Ming!"

After Xu Yingxu said this viciously, he left a few people alone and ran to Zhu Yunwen to flatter him.

However, when he returned to the hall again, he immediately saw two more corpses in the hall.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?"

"These two overestimated their capabilities and refuted Grandpa Huang's imperial edict. I killed them on the spot!"

"Uh uh?"

When Xu Yingxu heard this, he secretly thought that he was lucky that he ran fast, otherwise the debt would have been borne by him.

Zhu Yunwen felt good about himself after killing two people, thinking that he had shocked everyone in the hall.

"Who dares to oppose me now?"

When the other officials in the hall heard this, they all chose to kneel down.

They are all old people who have experienced the Hongwu Dynasty for decades. They have never seen anything before. Why are they afraid of his little fight?
Zhu Yunwen couldn't help laughing proudly when he saw the officials kneeling on the ground.

"it is good!"

"Since none of you object, let's issue the edict to the world!"

The entire hall was filled with solemnity, as if no one heard Zhu Yunwen's words.

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but repeat it again, but still no one paid attention to him.

Although the officials in front of them were kneeling on the ground, their spirits were still standing. No one wanted to pay attention to this villain who was trying to usurp the throne.

The smile on Zhu Yunwen's face became colder and colder, and finally seemed to freeze on his face, and he let out waves of sneers.

"Do you dare to resist the decree?"

Still no one paid any attention to him. There was only noisy breathing in the quiet hall, and no one was willing to answer.

"Come on, cut them all off!"

"Since they can't be used by me, let them go underground to accompany Zhu Yunxi!"

As soon as Zhu Yunwen said these words, there was a sudden murmur in the hall, and many ministers even expressed doubts on the spot.

"What, His Majesty the Emperor has passed away?"

"It's impossible. I haven't heard anything happened to His Majesty. Hasn't His Majesty been fighting in Kangdu?"

"His Royal Highness King Wan, are you talking nonsense? How could something happen to Your Majesty?"

Zhu Yunwen felt even more unhappy when he heard these doubts. He thought to himself, couldn't these people know how to talk? Why didn't they want to talk to him?

"You should give up as soon as possible. Zhu Yunxi is dead and his son is also dead. You can either be loyal to me or go underground and be loyal to Zhu Yunxi!"

"This?"

Zhu Yunxi's words made many people almost lose their minds and thought that Zhu Yunxi was really dead.

Even so, they were still unwilling to yield when facing Zhu Yunwen and did not want to do things for Zhu Yunwen.

Just when Zhu Yunwen was about to get angry, Xu Yingxu stood up again.

"Your Majesty, these people are still of great use. If you kill them all, who will help you govern the country?"

"Leave it to Wei Chen to issue the edict, and Wei Chen will announce it to the world for you..."

Zhu Yunwen was just talking and did not dare to kill all the civil and military officials of the dynasty.

Just as Xu Yingxu said, if he killed them all, there would really be no one left to help him govern the country.

But these people can't do anything if they don't deal with it, so they can only resort to the "Ting Zang" method that the emperor once used.

"You dare to issue the edict, I will personally discipline these disobedient things!"

"promise!"

Xu Yingxu hurriedly ran out with the edict in hand. His method of issuing the edict was very simple, which was to find someone to copy it dozens of times, and then paste it all over the major gates in the capital.

After Xu Yingxu left, Zhu Yunwen completely let himself go and immediately ordered people to drag all the officials out to make plans.

"Hit me hard!"

Amidst the crackling sound of boards, Zhu Yunwen spoke again.

"I know you are dissatisfied with me, but I will make you change your mind!"

"If you can't bear it anymore, just shout "Your Majesty" and I will let you go!"

At the end of the first round, only two officials could not bear the pain and shouted "Your Majesty".

Zhu Yunwen immediately ordered people to drag the two people out of the crowd and put them aside for the imperial doctor to treat their injuries.

At the end of the second round, there were as many as 30 people shouting "Your Majesty".

Without exception, these people were dragged out and handed over to people from the Tai Hospital for treatment.

After the third round, the remaining officials were either dragged out to heal their injuries, or passed out from the pain and were dragged and thrown into the Jinyiwei prison.

At this point, Zhu Yunwen finally selected a group of "available talents" in his own way.

After Xu Yingxu posted Zhu Yunwen's false edicts all over the city gates, the people in the capital immediately started talking and unanimously condemned his treasonous behavior.

Some even gathered together and ran to the palace gate to curse.

Faced with this situation, Zhu Yunwen directly ordered his men to kill hundreds of people on the spot and dispersed the abusive crowd.

Three days later, Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor amidst the abuses of the people in the capital, and ordered the Ministry of Telecommunications to provide electricity to the whole country.

However, before the ceremony of his enthronement was over, he heard that Zhu Di, together with Zhou Wang Zhu Xi, Jin Wang Zhu Fan, Chu Wang Zhu Zhen, Qi Wang and others came in under the banner of King Qin to rescue him.

After King Yan, King Zhu Zhi of Liao was not to be outdone. He united King Su, King Qing, King Ning and others to raise troops to put down the rebellion, and led all the guards into the capital.

Zhu Yunwen was stunned when he learned about this. He never expected that these people would oppose him so unanimously, let alone that they would enter the city so quickly.At the gate of the palace, King Yan led an army of [-] people to confront Zhu Yunwen's rebels.

Although he was under the banner of King Qin's rescue, after he entered the capital, he had no intention of actively attacking Zhu Yunwen. Instead, he stationed himself at the gate of the palace, as if waiting for something.

It wasn't until Zhu Zhi led a group of people to arrive and launched the first attack that Zhu Di sent 3000 people to give them a symbolic beating.

As soon as the battle began, Zhu Yunwen ordered his men to launch cannons and blasted Zhu Zhi's men and horses, beating them back steadily.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Di also retreated until he retreated outside Hongwu Gate.

Zhu Zhi had lost a lot of troops and was already in a depressed mood. When he saw Zhu Di coming to his camp, he immediately became sarcastic.

"Fourth brother is still smart. He arrived so long before me and didn't fight. He just waited for his younger brother to be cannon fodder..."

Zhu Di smiled awkwardly when he heard this.

"Fifteenth brother has wronged me. I was worried about my father's safety, so I didn't dare to act rashly."

"oh oh……"

Zhu Zhi had a dubious expression on his face.

"Fourth brother is still thoughtful."

"What should we do now, continue to attack Zhu Yunwen, or..."

"Of course we have to keep fighting!"

"I came here to discuss with my fifteenth brother. In the afternoon, you can continue to attack from the main entrance. I will lead people from the side entrance to catch Zhu Yunwen off guard..."

"oh oh……"

When Zhu Zhi heard this, he cursed secretly in his heart, "Why don't you let me be cannon fodder for this special girl?"

"How about the fourth brother attacks from the main entrance and the younger brother goes to the side entrance?"

Zhu Zhi originally thought that Zhu Di would object, but he didn't expect that Zhu Di agreed immediately.

"Okay!"

"Since the fifteenth brother is not willing to open the front door, then let's leave the front door to the fourth brother."

"The reason why fourth brother came to discuss it with you is actually because he was afraid that you would not want to get out of the way."

"You also know that the entrance to the palace is such a big place, and there is no way for fifty or sixty thousand of us to be crowded together!"

"This……"

Zhu Zhi looked at Zhu Di with a sincere face and couldn't help but feel suspicious. Could it be that he had really wronged him?

While Zhu Zhi and Zhu Di were discussing who would take the main attack, an army from outside the capital quietly entered the city and formed a larger encirclement, surrounding all the vassal king's troops involved in quelling the chaos.

Tang He sat in a wheelchair and was pushed by soldiers.Next to him was Captain Mei Yin, the consort riding a tall horse. He was also the most trusted admiral of the Beijing camp among the nobles, Lao Zhu.

"Uncle Tang, the capital is almost in chaos now. Can we close the net?"

Tang He smiled noncommittally upon hearing this.

"Whether the net can be closed depends on how many fish your Majesty wants to catch and how big the fish is."

Mei Yin looked startled when he heard this and couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty, why can't you let go of your brothers and uncles? You would rather risk being conspired to usurp the throne to set up such a trap. Is it really worth it?"

Tang He smiled mysteriously when he heard this.

"You don't understand. Some things are better if they happen sooner than later."

"It's like thick sores. The sooner they appear, the better. If they are delayed, they will only lead to greater disasters."

When Mei Yin heard this, her expression darkened again.

If he had a choice, he would not be involved in such a fight.But he had no choice. Ever since Lao Zhu asked him to supervise the capital camp and manage the largest army in the capital, he could no longer escape.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that too many people will die?"

"Not afraid!"

"Even if they die, they are the vassal king's people who die. There are only benefits to your majesty, no harm!"

Mei Yin was still unwilling.

"What about His Majesty the Emperor?"

"If I accidentally hurt His Majesty the Emperor, how should I explain it to the people in the world?"

Tang He asked instead without answering.

"Who can harm His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Of course it's Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yunwen is crazy now. Who knows what he can do?"

Tang He smiled disdainfully upon hearing this.

"If Zhu Yunwen hurt His Majesty the Emperor, and everyone in the world would scold Zhu Yunwen, what does it have to do with our Majesty?"

"This……"

Mei Yin was speechless when she heard these words, and at the same time, she felt a chill in her heart.

Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't even care about His Majesty the Tai Emperor, and is willing to risk His Majesty's life to get rid of Zhu Yunwen and others?

The more Mei Yin thought about it, the more disappointed she became. She planned to resign from all positions after doing this and return home to be an idler.

"Have you received the order from His Majesty the Emperor to close the net now?"

Mei Yin was startled when he heard this, then shook his head.

"Nope……"

"But His Majesty said before that as long as all the feudal kings gather together, they can take action."

Tang He nodded when he heard this.

"Just wait a little longer. Your Majesty will definitely send someone to deliver the news. We'd better not act rashly."

While the two were talking, a soldier suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"Lord Mei, Your Majesty has a decree!"

Mei Yin quickly stood up and dismounted, while Tang He sat on the chair and cupped his hands, which was regarded as a salute.

"Your Majesty has an order to order Mei Yin to quickly put down the rebellion and capture all the vassal kings and the rebellious minister Zhu Yunwen!"

"promise!"

While Mei Yin was leading people to quell the chaos, Zhu Gui on the other side also received an imperial edict.

"Accept the decree on behalf of King Zhu Gui!"

After Zhu Gui was released by Lao Zhu, he first followed Lao Zhu for a few months and saw the rapid changes in the capital.Later, he was thrown into the Wucheng Army and Horse Department by Lao Zhu and became an officer in charge of the city gate.

However, after only a few days as a city gate official, Zhu Yunxi was transferred to the Jinghai Navy and started as a soldier.

If it were in the past, Zhu Gui would naturally not obey orders, but after being detained before and being taught by Lao Zhu, his temper has changed a lot, and he will happily obey orders even if he is asked to be a soldier.

After hearing about the chaos in the capital, Zhu Gui scratched his head and head anxiously every day. If someone hadn't been watching him every day, he would have fled the Jing Haijun Camp and ran to the capital to fight Zhu Yunwen.

Now that he heard that Zhu Yunxi finally conveyed the order to him, Zhu Gui was so happy that he wanted to fly.

"I respectfully listen to the imperial edict!"

"I temporarily order Zhu Gui to control the Jing Navy Camp and cooperate with the Prince Consort Mei Yin to quell the chaos!"

When Zhu Gui heard this, his face was stunned for a while, and then his face was full of ecstasy.

As expected, my father did not lie to me, and my eldest nephew was indeed not angry with me. He just deliberately tormented me...

In this critical moment, my eldest nephew can think of me and dare to give me military power, which is the greatest trust in me!

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

"The humble ministers will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust and will kill those rebellious ministers and traitors!"

When the official who delivered the order heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and whispered in Zhu Gui's ear.

"Your Majesty also has a message. After you hear it, you are not allowed to say it to anyone..."

"Please say!"

"His Majesty said that there are some things that are inconvenient for him to do, and he asked you to kill a few more for him!"
