Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Zhu Di confidently sent people to intercept, but unexpectedly the people sent there were quickly beaten back.

"Your Highness, our people can't defeat us at all..."

"Can't beat it?"

"You are people who have been fighting alone for many years. Can't you even defeat a group of idiots?"

Zhu Di knew the details of Jing Haijun and knew that these were a group of young men who had not been trained for long and could not compare with the veterans under his command.

However, the next words of his subordinates completely shattered his dream.

"Your Highness, don't underestimate these brats. They are very fierce in fighting. They can shoot our crossbows at the same time. Even our cannons can't stop them!"

"This……"

Zhu Di was completely shocked by this group of idiots who he had never liked, and couldn't help but ask.

"Who is leading the team?"

"Yes... His Highness the King..."

"Zhu Gui?"

Zhu Di was very angry when he heard this and cursed in the sky.

"Is this guy stupid? Does he know what he is doing!"

The other vassal kings around Zhu Di were also very angry after hearing this. In fact, they all knew very well that King Qin was a fake, and taking the opportunity to seize power was the real thing.Only if their uncles and uncles seize the rights, their descendants will not be driven to the wild lands of the Western Regions by Zhu Yunxi to suffer.

But they found out that there was a traitor in their group, which made them very angry, even more angry than Zhu Yunwen's behavior.

"Go meet him alone!"

After Zhu Di said this, he turned his horse's head and left on the spot, galloping towards the palace gate.

Zhu Gui and Mei Yin had a clear division of labor. One was responsible for surrounding the Forbidden City, and the other was responsible for entering the Forbidden City to quell the chaos.

Moreover, in Zhu Yunxi's imperial edict, the heavy responsibility of quelling the chaos was placed on Jing Haijun.

During Zhu Gui's year at Jing Haijun, he has been learning the use of various weapons and the formation of new firearms on the battlefield.

Although he was ordered to do so in a critical situation, he was still able to quickly become familiar with various tactics.

As for the officer, he was more familiar with him. They squatted together drinking and bragging when they had nothing to do.

Therefore, Zhu Gui felt very comfortable commanding such an army.

With the soldiers working together and their weapons sharp, it was extremely easy to deal with a group of vassal armies.

It didn't take long for them to disrupt the vassal king's army gathered at the entrance of the palace, and then fought their way straight to Qianqing Palace.

However, just when Zhu Gui was about to rescue his father in one go, he happened to see King Yan riding a fast horse.

Before Zhu Gui could react, he heard his men firing.

This made Zhu Gui very angry and ordered them to stop on the spot.

"stop!"

"That's my fourth brother!"

"Fourth brother?"

The soldier who had just fired was stunned. Isn't Zhu Gui's fourth brother the king of Yan?
Zhu Di never expected that he would be hit with a row of firecrackers as soon as he showed his head.If he hadn't reacted quickly, abandoned his horse and rolled on the ground, plus he was wearing heavy armor, the row of fire blunderbuss would have killed him.

Even so, he still felt pain in his chest. When he reached out and touched it, he found that the armor made of heavy gold had been deeply dented, causing pain in his ribs.

When Zhu Gui saw Zhu Di fell off his horse, he rushed forward to help him up on the spot, but was grabbed by his own soldiers.

"Not possible, Your Highness!"

"It's a mixed bag of fish and dragons over there, you will definitely be captured by them if you go there now!"

"My fourth brother..."

"I'll go over for you..."

A member of the Baihu family rushed over first, lifted the injured Zhu Di up from the ground, and then brought him to Zhu Gui.

Zhu Di suppressed the pain and smiled.

"You old thirteen, you dare to kill me!"

Zhu Gui had respected his fourth brother since he was a child, but now that he saw his fourth brother almost being beaten to death, he felt extremely regretful.

"Sorry, I……"

Zhu Di waved his hand magnanimously.

"You're right, you don't have to say sorry to me, but don't forget your identity..."

"I……"

Of course Zhu Gui understood what Zhu Di meant. It was nothing more than a reminder that as a vassal king, he should consider the interests of the vassal king as a group.

But he doesn't think about that now, he just wants to save his father.

"How is the father?"

Zhu Di said annoyed when he heard this.

"You don't have to worry about my father. My father is doing well. The man he just stood on the steps scolding was very angry!"

Seeing that his father was safe and sound, Zhu Gui finally let go of the big stone hanging in his heart.

"It's good that my father is well, otherwise I will have to cut this scum Zhu Yunwen into pieces!"

"Don't worry, even with Zhu Yunwen's courage, he wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to his grandpa, but you..."

When Zhu Di said this, he couldn't help but look around. When he saw that the officers around him were far away from him, he lowered his voice and said.

"Old Thirteen, tell me the truth. Did Zhu Yunxi send you here?"

Zhu Gui nodded after hearing this with slight hesitation.

"Yes……"

Zhu Di laughed immediately when he saw this.

"Great!"

"Old Thirteen, this is God's will!"

Zhu Gui asked doubtfully.

"What providence?"

Zhu Di is good at teaching.

"Think about it, Ming's army is all in the far west, and its navy is also scattered in the west and east. Ming's local army is either in the hands of the vassal king, or it has to guard the fortress and cannot be mobilized. The only available force is the Jing navy. ."

"However, Jing Haijun is still in your hands!"

"As long as we join forces, Ming Dynasty will be ours!"

"You come to be the emperor, and my fourth brother will be your general!"

Zhu Gui quickly shook his head when he heard this.

"No, no, no...how can I be the emperor? I can't..."

Zhu Di cursed, hating that iron could not become steel.

"waste!"

"Why can't you? You are also my father's biological son!"

"Your Majesty treats me well..."

When Zhu Di heard this, it was like hearing the biggest joke, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Do you treat me well?"

"Then what if he puts you in the Jinyi Guard Prison?"

"What if he takes over the military power of your three guards?"

The defense line that Zhu Gui finally built collapsed with Zhu Di's few words.

"I……"

Seeing that Zhu Gui was wavering, Zhu Di hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"You don't have to worry about the other brothers being dissatisfied. As long as I, the second, fifth, sixth, and seventh brothers are on your side, others don't have to worry about it at all!"

"Moreover, there is a high probability that the third child will be neutral and not meddle in other people's business."

Zhu Gui couldn't believe it when he heard this.

"Can't you?"

"Third brother is the one who loves Zhu Yunxi the most. Can third brother agree to this?"

Zhu Di sneered when he heard this.

"Do you think your third brother likes Zhu Yunxi, or does he prefer his own son?"

Zhu Gui was silent for a moment after hearing this.

In fact, he is the same. If his son was not involved, he would support Zhu Yunxi unconditionally.

Just the thought of his son having to leave his hometown to explore the bitter cold lands of the Western Regions in the future made him feel very unhappy.

"I'll think it over……"

Zhu Di didn't want to give him time to think about it. Let's not talk about racing against time now, but he couldn't waste a moment.

Once Zhu Yunxi rushes back, all their efforts now will be in vain.

"What else are you thinking about?"

"My other brothers and I are here for King Qin, and you are also here for King Qin!"

"If we kill Zhu Yunwen, even if we are rewarded for our meritorious service, my father will still have to pass the throne to you!"

"I……"

Zhu Gui looked around uneasily, and when Zhu Di saw this, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Are you worried that your subordinates will be disobedient?"

Zhu Gui didn't answer, but the expression on his face told Zhu Di the answer.

Zhu Di hesitated slightly and said.

"Let's do this, let them put down their weapons and deal with them for you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gui looked at Zhu Di warily, obviously disapproving of this proposal.Zhu Di also felt that he was reckless, which made Zhu Gui suspicious.But it makes sense to think about it. If Zhu Gui has no weapons, what qualifications does he have to compete for the throne?

"I sent you 5000 people. If you mix these 5000 people with your people, it will be difficult for them to rebel!"

Zhu Gui muttered in a low voice after hearing this.

"But what I am doing now is rebellion..."

Zhu Di comforted.

"Those who achieve great things do not care about small details."

"Think about it, if Zhu Yunwen gains power, Zhu Yunxi and his heirs will certainly not be able to protect themselves, right?"

"If you come to power, both Zhu Yunxi and his son will be protected. And you can also rule with Zhu Yunxi by dividing the Tianshan Mountains. The west of the Tianshan Mountains will belong to him, and the east of the Tianshan Mountains will belong to the Ming Dynasty!"

This time Zhu Guizhen was a little tempted, but he was worried that his subordinates would not agree.

"Let me think about it..."

Zhu Di didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and just left him to get close to other officers.

"What's your name?"

"Yan Jin!"

"Is he the son of Yan Yi, the Butcher Yan?"

Yan Jin smiled shyly.

"No, Yan Yi is my uncle..."

Zhu Di laughed loudly after hearing this.

"I said it looks a bit similar!"

"Yan Yi drank with Gu when he was in the army, but the wine was not that good. After three bowls, he became drunk, hahaha..."

"Are you Xu Huizu's son?"

"Yes!"

"I've met my uncle!"

Zhu Di smiled and patted Xu Qin on the shoulder.

"Work hard and try to get another title for your Xu family!"

Xu Qin chuckled upon hearing this.

"It all depends on my uncle's performance. If my uncle gives his nephew a chance to make meritorious deeds, he can really win a title, hehehe."

Zhu Di almost lost his temper when he heard this. This bitch had the same temper as his father, so he identified Zhu Di as a rebel!

"I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I am coming to the capital this time from King Qin, and he is with you!"

"Oh oh oh... I thought my eldest uncle was here to seize the throne..."

When Zhu Di heard this, he was so angry that he stopped talking to this guy and continued to look for familiar faces in the crowd.

However, he has been away from Gyeonggi Province for many years, and many people no longer know him, let alone his descendants.

However, after just observing, he found that there were still many nobles in Jing Haijun, which was a point that could be exploited.

While Zhu Di was thinking about how to win over Zhu Gui, his men ran over with people.

Jing Haijun raised his gun and fired like a reflex, but was stopped by Zhu Di.

"stop!"

"These are all the teachers of the lonely Qinwang, and they are all the same with you!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers turned back to look at their respective officers, and the officers looked up at Zhu Gui. Seeing Zhu Gui nodding, they gave the signal to put down.

Zhu Di secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jing Haijun put down his weapons, and then ran over the crowd to his side to explain to his trusted officers.

"Tell your subordinates that from now on we will fight Zhu Yunqi together with King Jingjun..."

"Your Highness, are we going to fight for real or fake it?"

"Of course it's a real fight!"

"But don't stand too far forward. Let them fight and die..."

"understood!"

Before Zhu Di led his men to Zhu Guijun, he deliberately spoke loudly to the people behind him.

"From now on, you will obey the King's control."

"You will fight whoever the king tells you to fight!"

"promise!"

Amidst the loud promises, Zhu Gui bit the bullet and boarded the pirate ship.

He chose his own class after all.

Zhu Gui originally wanted to follow Zhu Di's strategy to disrupt and reorganize Jing Haijun and Zhu Di's people, but unexpectedly, Jing Haijun was very xenophobic and would not accept this arrangement at all.

As a last resort, he could only arrange Zhu Di's people at the back and let Jing Haijun's people take the lead.

When Zhu Di and Zhu Gui appeared side by side in front of Qianqing Palace, a flash of surprise flashed in Lao Zhu's eyes, followed by sadness.

Zhu Fan was slightly surprised when he saw this, and then silently left with his people.

Zhu Ju and others were very happy and felt that they had strong support here.

Only a group of young vassal kings, headed by Zhu Zhi, expressed indignation at the behavior of the two men.

"Brother Thirteen, why did you get together with Brother Four!"

"Are you worthy of your nephew?"

After Zhu Zhi cursed, he led the people away on the spot and stopped interfering in the affairs here.

Zhu Gui looked at the empty square and felt a strong sense of disappointment in his heart.

Even before he became emperor, he was already a loner?
Forget it, forget about that for now, save the father first!
Zhu Gui endured the strange looks from other vassal kings and ordered his people to move forward, gradually compressing Zhu Yunwen's space, and soon forced all Zhu Yunwen's people into Qianqing Palace.

"Zhu Yunwen, surrender now to save you from death!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen quickly pulled out a dagger and put it against Lao Zhu's neck.

"You are not allowed to come over!"

"If anyone dares to come here, I will kill him!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, a wry smile appeared on his face. If Zhu Di was leading the team, he would probably die today.

Because Zhu Di is decisive, he will never be threatened by Zhu Yunwen.

In comparison, Zhu Gui was much more indecisive and more filial to himself. Seeing such a threat from Zhu Yunwen, he would definitely give in.

Sure enough, when Zhu Gui saw his father being threatened, he panicked on the spot.

"Zhu Yunwen, don't do anything stupid!"

"You just made a mistake now, and the crime is not worthy of death. But if you dare to hurt your grandpa, you will be treasonous and will be despised by everyone in the world!"

"Do not……"

"I don't care, you all look down on me and think I'm not worthy of being emperor, so I'm going to show you..."

"Grandpa Huang, do you think I am the emperor now?"

"Say it!"

How could Lao Zhu pay any attention to him? After hearing this kid asking him like crazy, Lao Zhu decisively shut his mouth.

Seeing that Lao Zhu ignored him, Zhu Yunwen was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but after all, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, and he couldn't bring himself to give Lao Zhu a fatal blow.

Zhu Yunwen held the knife and gestured for a long time, but he didn't dare to stab it. Instead, because he was too nervous, his hand shook so much that he cut Lao Zhu's skin, and was shocked by the blood that flowed out.

"This... this was not done by me. I didn't want to hurt you..."

"Come here, take Grandpa Huang in quickly to treat his injuries!"

As soon as Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, several Japanese eunuchs immediately ran out and carried Lao Zhu in.

After Lao Zhu disappeared at the gate of Qianqing Palace, the door of Qianqing Palace was completely closed.

Zhu Gui had no idea how many people were ambushed inside, so he did not dare to act rashly.

Zhu Di wanted to attack by force, but the command was not in his hands, so he could only deceive Zhu Gui as much as possible.

"Thirteenth brother, you can't be kind to women at this time!"

"We have no choice but to attack by force, otherwise the longer we delay, the more detrimental it will be to our father!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gui flatly refused.

"no!"

"If my father is injured by a forceful attack, even if Zhu Yunwen's body is cut into thousands of pieces, it will not help!"

Zhu Di sighed after hearing this and thought to himself, isn't this just right...

As soon as our father died, we just killed Zhu Yunwen under the pretext of avenging his father, and then we used the excuse that the world cannot be left without a master for a day and successfully ascended the throne!
But he could only think about this in his heart. If he dared to say it, Zhu Gui would dare to fall out with him on the spot.

In this way, Zhu Gui and Zhu Yunwen's rebels were in a stalemate, which lasted from day to night.

Outside the Forbidden City, Mei Yin and Tang He stood in the tallest restaurant opposite the palace and watched everything going on in the palace. They sighed secretly when they saw Zhu Gui's performance.

"This child has failed His Majesty's expectations after all!"

Tang He said with regret when he heard this.

"This is his last chance. If he can obey His Majesty's will, he and his heirs will enjoy wealth forever."

"Tang Shuai, what should we do now, continue to watch the fun?"

Tang He shook his head when he heard this.

"We are not qualified to watch the excitement. We should find a way to solve these troubles quickly and let His Majesty come back to clean up the mess."

"His Majesty……"

When Mei Yin said this, he lowered his voice and asked.

"Is your Majesty coming back soon?"

Tang He smiled mysteriously.

"It's hard to say. Maybe His Majesty is in the city right now, observing all this silently like you and me..."
