Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

"How many more kills?"

When Zhu Gui heard this, a chill suddenly rose in his heart.

He suddenly understood why Zhu Yunwen's men were able to enter the capital, and why the 2 men in the capital camp had been standing still.

It turns out that it wasn't that they were trying to avoid the enemy, or that they had no time to react, but that someone had been watching the whole situation silently from the beginning, waiting for someone to take the bait...

Zhu Gui was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"Wei Chen understands. Please tell your Majesty that Wei Chen will live up to his trust!"

When Zhu Gui mobilized troops to enter the capital to quell the chaos, Xu Miaojin and others in the Beigong were having disagreements.

Qin Deshun was ordered to escape the harem concubines and the young prince from the tunnel, and went straight to the North Palace, which was the most heavily defended.

"My ladies, please rest here. I have to go back to take care of Your Majesty."

Queen Kong said politely after hearing this.

"Thank you, Eunuch Qin. I will send you to Eunuch Qin..."

Qin Deshun waved his hand quickly.

"Don't dare!"

"My queen, please stay. I can go back by myself."

Mrs. Kong did not refuse after hearing this. She was a womanly person and was not suitable for doing such a thing. She was just being polite.

After sending Qin Deshun away, Kong immediately ordered people to invite Xu Miaojin of Miaozhen Temple into the palace, and gave her the responsibility for the defense of the North Palace.

When Xu Miaojin learned that something had happened in the palace, she immediately found the armor that had not been used for many years and put it on again. She rode a tall maroon horse to the palace to guard it.

However, Beigong's defense was very tight, and others did not dare to come over to make trouble, so Xu Miaojin was not given much chance to perform.

This made Xu Miaojin very depressed, always clamoring to enter the palace to serve as king and kill the traitor Zhu Yunwen.

But how dare Mrs. Kong let her go?

If there is something wrong with Xu Miaojin, she can't explain it even if she is full of words. There will always be people who suspect that she used a knife to kill someone.

"Sister Kong, just let me go. I will protect His Majesty the Emperor and make sure no one can hurt him..."

"no!"

"You don't have to worry about His Majesty the Emperor. No one in the world dares to hurt his old man."

"Furthermore, Eunuch Qin just told me that His Majesty the Emperor has already made arrangements and will not put himself in danger."

Xu Miaojin still didn't believe it, but she no longer talked back to Queen Kong. Instead, she took the opportunity to inspect the city wall and sneaked down the city wall.

This frightened the queen, and while she sent people to chase her, she immediately ordered people to inform His Majesty the Emperor of the matter.

Zhu Yunxi told her a secret contact information when he took it away, but she never dared to use it.

Now that she saw Xu Miaojin risking her life, she was forced to use it.

Late at night, Lao Zhu was leaning on the bed and taking a nap. Suddenly he heard a noise coming from outside. The old man's eyelids twitched slightly, then he pulled the quilt over his head and continued to sleep.

"These traitors reacted very quickly, and they actually rushed over to King Qin so quickly..."

Lao Zhu's sudden words made Zhu Yunwen, who happened to come in with the soup, stunned.

In order to control Lao Zhu, he replaced everyone around Lao Zhu with people he brought from Fengyang.

Now Lao Zhu can judge the external situation so easily without any external sources of information, which makes him feel a sense of fear for no reason.

"Grandpa Huang, how do you know that there are soldiers from the uncles outside?"

Lao Zhu sneered disdainfully upon hearing this.

"The soldiers in the capital have been hidden by a certain rebellious grandson. You can't hope to see it unless the matter escalates to a certain level!"

"As for your uncles..."

When Lao Zhu said this, he smiled helplessly.

He had already guessed the general situation. Zhu Di and others might have known that Zhu Yunwen was going to rebel, and they might even have secretly given some support and encouragement.

However, the reason why they helped Zhu Yunwen was not because they wanted him to become emperor, but because they wanted to catch the cicada while the mantis was flying, leaving the oriole behind.

But they forgot that there was also a golden-winged roc hovering in the sky in the Ming Dynasty, ready to take away several evil dragons at any time.

"You don't have to worry about them, just take care of yourself."

Zhu Yunwen said confidently after hearing this.

"My grandson has occupied the armory and moved out all the artillery and muskets inside."

"Even if Uncle Wang has more people, my grandson is sure to win."

"is it?"

Hearing this, Lao Zhu showed a mysterious sneer again, but said nothing.

Zhu Yunwen became more and more depressed when he saw that Lao Zhu still looked down on him until now.

"Grandpa Huang, if you don't believe it, my grandson will kill a few uncles to show you!"

Lao Zhu smiled jokingly when he heard this.

"it is good!"

"Let's wait for your good show!"

Zhu Yunwen put the medicine bowl in front of Lao Zhu and said.

"Grandpa Huang, please drink medicine!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all without thinking. Zhu Yunwen felt better when he saw Lao Zhu drinking the medicine so happily.

This proves that Grandpa Huang still trusts him and knows that he will not poison the soup.

"Grandpa Huang, there is nothing serious about your health. It's just that you have been too tired in recent days. Just drink the soothing soup and have a good sleep."

"oh oh……"

After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he fell on the bed and snored evenly.

When Zhu Yunwen heard Lao Zhu's careless snoring, he seemed to have an illusion for a moment. Did he kidnap Grandpa Huang, or did Grandpa Huang kidnap him?

Is Grandpa Huang not afraid at all?

Of course Lao Zhu is not afraid. He has seen many battles in his life, how can he be afraid of such a trivial matter?
Furthermore, Lao Zhu was certain that Zhu Yunwen would not dare to hurt him.

This is not because Zhu Yunwen pays more attention to feelings. The main reason is that he is still very useful as an old man. Before he can secure the throne, he will not be willing to kill himself!
Lao Zhu had just fallen asleep in confusion when he heard the sound of "firecrackers" outside the door became a little weaker. The chaos at the entrance of Xindao Palace should be over soon.

Sure enough, before Lao Zhu's second sleep began, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Our people can't handle it..."

"what!"

"How is that possible? I have obviously obtained the most advanced firearms from the Ming Dynasty. How can I not be able to defeat the soldiers outside the door?"

"Your Majesty, we are out of gunpowder!"

"Fireguns need gunpowder and guns to fire, and cannons also need shells."

"There are [-] muskets in the armory, but the gunpowder is only enough for [-] shots. Each person has to change his gun after firing one shot..."

"This……"

Zhu Yunwen never expected that he would make such a big mistake.

He obviously robbed the weapons warehouse, why couldn't he also rob the gunpowder warehouse?
"Grandpa Huang, do you know where the gunpowder magazine is?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he shook his head without opening his eyes.

"do not know!"

"Zhu Yunxi has always been in charge of the gunpowder preparation workshop, and we have never had any involvement..."

"Where is the gunpowder in the capital?"

"We don't even know. We usually only take care of big things. When have we ever taken care of these small things?"

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he was so angry that he exploded on the spot, but just when he was about to explode, he suddenly thought of something.

Right!

Grandpa Huang doesn’t know about this, but it doesn’t mean that the officials of the Ministry of War don’t know about it!

"Come here, bring all the officials from the Ministry of War to me!"

"promise!"

Not long after, hundreds of people from the Ministry of War were forcibly brought over.

Zhu Yunwen told Tang Duo, Minister of War.

"Tang petitions, may I ask if there is any gunpowder in the palace?"

Tang Duo shook his head on the spot after hearing this. "have no idea!"

"Such trivial matters are in charge of the ambassador in charge of the warehouse. When has this minister ever taken charge of such trivial matters?"

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a while when he heard this, and then he could only leave Tang Duo and ask Ambassador Ku.

However, Ambassador Ku was stunned when he heard this.

"Your Highness, there has never been any gunpowder stored in the capital. This is a rule set by His Majesty before he ascended the throne!"

"what?"

Zhu Yunwen was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that a person as afraid of death as Zhu Yunxi would not store gunpowder in the capital.

"His Royal Highness King Anhui, this matter is absolutely true, I can guarantee it with my head!"

"Wei Chen also advised your Majesty to leave some gunpowder in the capital. But your majesty said that keeping gunpowder in the capital would be too dangerous. Once an explosion occurs, the entire capital will be affected."

Zhu Yunwen heard this and asked again.

"Then do you know where the gunpowder magazine is?"

"exist……"

Ambassador Ku thought for a moment and gave Zhu Yunwen three answers.

"I remember that part of it was sealed on an island in the center of Xuanwu Lake, but it was very humid there. Although it could effectively prevent fires, it also easily allowed the gunpowder to get damp."

"The last batch of gunpowder is old goods from two years ago, and Wei Chen doesn't know if these gunpowder can still be used."

"There should also be a batch at Shanchuantan. They were produced two years ago..."

"But His Majesty has transferred some of them before, so I don't know how many are left now."

"The other batch is over at Xiaolingwei. The granular gunpowder produced in the past two years is all stored there."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly came to Lao Zhu and begged.

"Grandpa Huang, can you write a handwritten message to the commander of Xiaoling Guard and ask them to send some gunpowder to my grandson?"

After hearing this, Lao Zhu stood up and said very generously.

"sure!"

"Go and prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I'll write you a note right now!"

Lao Zhu agreed so happily, but it made Zhu Yunwen a little worried.

"Grandpa Huang, you don't want to play tricks on me, do you?"

Lao Zhu asked rhetorically after hearing this.

"Why are we kidding you?"

"Of course you are afraid that I will defeat the uncles!"

"No matter who of you becomes emperor, aren't they all our descendants? What do we have to fear?"

Zhu Yunwen was stunned by Lao Zhu's words. He never expected that Lao Zhu would be so honest and say what was in his heart so carelessly.

However, this also dispelled Zhu Yunwen's suspicion and strengthened his belief that as long as the rebellion succeeded, Grandpa Huang would support his idea of ​​becoming emperor.

"Grandfather Shengming!"

"It turns out that this is the original intention of the emperor's insistence on enfeoffment!"

Lao Zhu ignored him when he heard this, but went straight to the desk, picked up his pen and wrote a note.

"take it!"

"The guard of Xiaoling will give you gunpowder when he sees my handwriting!"

Zhu Yunwen looked up and down the note several times to make sure there were no code words or other words on it, and then ordered people to drive more than a dozen carriages to Xiaoling Guard to get gunpowder.

However, just when Zhu Yunwen sent people out to get gunpowder, Zhu Di led his men to kill him and forced his people into the Qianqing Palace bit by bit.

Zhu Yunwen had never seen this battle before. He was confused when he saw the densely packed enemies outside.

"What should I do...what should I do..."

"Which one of you has a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"

At this time, a Japanese man stood up and bowed to Zhu Yunwen.

"Your Majesty, I think we can force the people outside to retreat as long as we push the old emperor out!"

As soon as Ouchi Yoshihiro said this, he immediately aroused the approval of other Japanese warriors.

"His Majesty the Emperor is the father of King Yan. King Yan dare not risk the disapproval of the world to harm him!"

"As long as we hold the old emperor's card, we can force King Yan to retreat!"

Zhu Yunwen suddenly felt confident after listening to the suggestions from the think tank around him.

"Come here, take Grandpa Huang outside the palace and show it to the rebels outside!"

"promise!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he didn't need anyone to help him. Before the two Japanese people met him, he slowly stood up and came to the door.

"You all, please step back. If you dare to take a step forward again, Zhu Yunwen will have us killed!"

Zhu Di looked at the energetic old man and felt very uncomfortable for a moment.

There is guilt for his father, and there is also fear of his father.

"Father, are you okay? Zhu Yunwen didn't dare to do anything bad to you, did he?"

Old Zhu laughed when he heard this.

"no!"

"Yunwen is a very well-behaved child. He never misses three meals a day. He just asked the imperial doctor to make some soup for us!"

Zhu Di had an expression of relief on his face when he heard this.

"That's good..."

"Father, please take care of yourself. I will guard you here. When will Zhu Yunwen release you? When will I retreat?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, a sneer appeared on his face. Although he had already seen Zhu Di's little thoughts, he still couldn't pass the test in his heart, so he still gave him a hint.

"Quickly withdraw, otherwise it will be too late..."

"What's too late?"

As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, he heard another killing cry from behind him.

Zhu Di quickly looked back and saw a huge handsome flag flying not far away, with a red line showing the word - plum!

"Mei Yin?"

Old Zhu nodded when he heard the words.

"It's him. He should have received orders from Zhu Yunxi's rebellious grandson to put down the rebellion."

The surprise on Zhu Di's face became even stronger when he heard this.

"Is there anyone else in the Beijing camp?"

"Didn't you say that you were transferred to the Western Region a long time ago?"

Lao Zhu sighed helplessly after hearing this.

"It's true that most of the people from the Beijing camp have been transferred, but won't they be recruited again in the future?"

"More than half of the 2 people in the Beijing camp are recently recruited."

When Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di heard this, they couldn't help but feel relieved.

Zhu Yunwen was glad that his opponents were a group of new soldiers, while Zhu Di was secretly glad that he did not raise the banner of "Qingjun side".

Otherwise, once this matter fails, he will be truly doomed.

However, before the shouts of killing ended, there was also a noise coming from the direction of Xihua Gate of the palace.

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he immediately turned on the irritable mode and cursed in the direction of Xihua Gate.

"Whose person is this?"

Zhu Di was also curious about where so many people were killed this time, but when he saw the word "Jing" embroidered on the huge handsome flag, he instantly understood.

"It turned out to be someone from Jing Haijun..."

"It is said that Jing Haijun mainly trains the navy and is not very proficient in land warfare."

When Lao Zhu heard what Zhu Di said, he couldn't help complaining.The navy, which Zhu Di regarded as not good at land warfare, has now defeated the Japanese kingdom of Kyoto. Who dares to say that they cannot fight on land?
But he was no longer too lazy to explain. He had already reminded the uncle and nephew what needed to be reminded and warned what needed to be warned.

Now that neither of them listens to the advice, he, as the father and grandfather, can only see the end of the uncle and nephew...
