Ming Dynasty: Ask Zhu Yuanzhang to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 39 Breaking into the mansion!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Outside the Duke of Liang's mansion, the heavy door was slammed with a dull and heavy sound.

There were thousands of Jinyiwei and countless onlookers in the distance, but at this moment everyone held their breath, staring, and no one made any other sound.

After filming for a long time, no one came to open the door.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunhuan stepped back a few steps and said calmly: "Then knock it open!"

The Jinyiwei received the order and was about to take action when they heard a "squeak".

The door that was originally closed slowly opened.

Zhu Yunhuan led a group of Jinyiwei and entered one after another.

In the yard, there were hundreds of strong men wearing green clothes and holding weapons.

They stopped in front of them, glaring at them.

These people are obviously not ordinary people, but soldiers who have experienced countless baptisms of iron and blood on the battlefield.

When they stood together at this moment, murderous aura was overwhelming.

With such a big commotion outside, it is impossible for people inside to be completely unaware of it.

However, this scene still made Zhu Yunhuan a little surprised, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

Jiang Li feared that something unexpected might happen, so he stepped forward and stood in front of Zhu Yunhuan, shouting angrily, "The Jinyiwei are investigating a case, and you are blocking us with weapons. What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"

The man standing in the front said coldly: "I don't care about the Jinyiwei. This is the general's mansion. I will only follow the orders of the army."

"Anyone who enters without the general's permission will be killed!"

He was not afraid at all when facing numerous Jinyiwei, and did not call Lan Yu the Duke of Liang, but the General. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary servant, but a loyal general brought by Lan Yu from the army.

This is the long-standing tradition.

Many generals of the Ming Dynasty would bring their trusted generals back to their homes.

He usually serves as the leader of the guards in the palace. When there is a war and he has to lead troops to fight, he is the commander of the general's personal guards.

"How dare you!" Jiang Li said angrily, "This is Jinling City, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the best place, not a military camp."

"Even if it's a military camp, you are still his majesty's soldiers. If you dare to stop my Jinyiwei, you will be guilty of treason!"

The man snorted coldly and said, "You keep saying His Majesty, but I dare to ask if you have His Majesty's order to enter this place? Can you show it to me?"

"This..." Jiang Li was stunned for a moment and his tone stagnated.

"Who are you?" Zhu Yunhuan looked at the man and asked.

"I'm Fu Ye, the commander of the personal army of the Duke of Liang and the adopted son of the general." Fu Ye stared at Zhu Yunhuan, with resentment burning in his eyes.

It turns out that he is Lan Yu's adopted son. No wonder he is so loyal and yet so arrogant.

"You still remember to call yourself 'the humble general', so you must also know my identity. Why don't you greet me when you see me?" Zhu Yunhuan asked.

Fu Ye said coldly: "If I meet His Royal Highness the King of Wu outside, I will naturally pay my respects and will not dare to be negligent."

"But this is the general's residence, which is equivalent to the army's headquarters. All actions are subject to military law."

"The army only knows the orders of the general, not the royal relatives."

"If His Royal Highness the King of Wu comes to visit the General's Mansion, we will also treat him with courtesy."

"But His Royal Highness the King of Wu led the Jinyiwei officers and soldiers to rush into the palace for no reason, and I don't know what His Royal Highness the King of Wu is trying to do."

He actually questioned it.

Zhu Yunhuan said coldly: "A mere guard commander is so arrogant and conceited. Who gave you the courage?"

In a sense, it was not unfair for Zhu Yuanzhang to use Lan Yu as an example.

He managed the mansion like a military camp and let the generals and soldiers serve as his servants.

After all, the Ming Dynasty had just been established at that time, and many rules were not as strict as those in later generations.

It is not surprising that some high-ranking military generals have a large number of personal guards without armor at home.

But Lan Yu adopted a large number of adopted sons, and these people only knew Lan Yu and not the imperial court, which was a big problem.

Which emperor could tolerate him if he behaved like this?
Not to mention an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang who couldn't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.

To be able to keep him until now, Old Zhu must have endured for a long time.

Now, Zhu Yunhuan is also very clear that in order to save Lan Yu, he must polish his rebellious temper.

The Ming Dynasty was no longer in the era of conquering the world, and it did not need an untamed eagle.

Right now, the Ming Dynasty only needs obedient and loyal dogs.

The imperial court was at one's beck and call, and no one dared to disobey a command.

Lao Zhu would eliminate without hesitation anyone who showed any signs of disloyalty or hidden dangers.

Lan Yu still does his own thing. It seems that the slap in the face in the court that day has not completely woken him up.

Fu Ye raised his head and said: "Although my position is humble, I am also a loyal and righteous person."

"Although His Royal Highness the King of Wu is of noble status, he is ruthless and ungrateful. He even wants to attack his own great-uncle."

"It's a pity that the general still protects Your Highness every day, thinks about Your Highness every day, and only wants to assist Your Highness wholeheartedly."

"Earlier today, he specifically told us to protect His Highness no matter what happens at any time."

"Your Highness wants to compete for the position of crown prince. Even though the general was slapped in the face by Your Highness in the court, he is still happy for Your Highness."

"Your Highness was conferred the title of King of Wu, and the general asked all the nobles in the city and the generals in the army to congratulate and cheer for His Highness."

"The general was so happy that he held a banquet at home to entertain guests and was very excited about this matter."

"Over the years, the general has fought in many battles and made countless contributions to the Ming Dynasty."

"In order to stabilize the world and wipe out the remnants of the Northern Mongolian evil, I personally led the army deep into the northern desert and wiped out the Northern Mongolian royal court."

"The merits are so great that they are unparalleled in the world!"

"When your father, the late Crown Prince, was alive, the general always followed him faithfully."

"Now, I just want to follow His Highness again."

"But Your Highness is so cold and heartless. First, he doesn't consider the great merits and hard work of the general. Second, he doesn't consider the general's loyalty. Third, he doesn't consider that the general is your uncle and has a blood relationship with you. Instead, he wants to forcibly capture the general. Isn't this chilling?"

"Your Highness is young and ignorant, so it is inevitable that you will be deceived."

"I advise Your Highness to turn back from the wrong path as soon as possible to avoid making a big mistake!"

Zhu Yunhuan's face darkened.

Lan Yu's subordinates really never took him, the King of Wu, seriously.

That's why I would use such a condescending tone to teach him how to do things.

In the eyes of these people, the so-called Prince Wu is just a little kid who needs their care and education.

If it was not him but his father Zhu Biao who led the Jinyiwei to break into the Duke of Liang's Mansion today, would Fu Ye dare to say this?

Do you dare to teach Zhu Biao how to do things?
Not to mention him, even Lan Yu would have come out and confessed his guilt long ago.

There won't be any nonsense!
How could he be like this, hiding away from people?

With Lan Yu's attitude like this, how could Zhu Yuanzhang tolerate him?

Even Zhu Yunhuan himself couldn't tolerate it!
If the people below, relying on their own merits, being older than him, having higher seniority than him, and being his elders, dare to teach him a lesson, teach him how to do things, and bully him.

Then Zhu Yunhuan doesn't need to fight for the position of crown prince anymore, he can just go home and play in the mud.

What happens today is not only to save myself from danger and save Lan Yu's life, but also to teach Lan Yu a proper lesson.

Let all the meritorious officials and military generals in Jinling City know that he, Zhu Yunhuan, is the master, not Lan Yu!
"When did it become the turn of a personal guard commander of the Duke of Liang's mansion to take care of my affairs?"

Zhu Yunhuan snorted coldly: "If I am appointed as the crown prince and inherit the throne in the future, and I do something that makes you and the Duke of Liang unhappy, are you still planning to start a rebellion to purge the emperor?"

"Your Highness Prince Wu, your words are too polite. I dare not do that!" Fu Ye said he dared not, but his tone became even colder.

"I am only doing my duty to advise Your Highness!"

"Good medicine tastes bitter, and honest advice is unpleasant to the ears. I hope Your Highness can listen to it."

He had no respect at all for Zhu Yunhuan, the King of Wu.

"I don't think you dare!" Zhu Yunhuan's tone suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Come here, capture this Fu Ye for me. If there is resistance, kill him without mercy!"

"As ordered!"

The surrounding Jinyiwei responded.

Now that they have entered the Duke of Liang's Mansion, they are in a dilemma and can only follow Zhu Yunhuan to the end.

At that moment, several Jinyiwei came forward with knives in hand.

The servants, led by Fu Ye, also tightly grasped their weapons and glared angrily.

But after all, they were facing the Jinyiwei, and for a moment, they did not dare to really take action. They just acted more and more serious, and their expressions became more and more nervous, as if they were about to draw their swords and kill in the next moment.

The Jinyiwei continued to move forward. Fu Ye took a step back, grasped the knife at his waist, and said, "Don't force me!"

"brush!"

"brush!"

"brush!"

Upon seeing this, the Jinyiwei drew their swords one by one.

At this moment, a clear and majestic voice suddenly exploded.

"stop!"

As the voice fell, Duke of Liang Lan Yu walked out from the backyard step by step with his chest and shirt bare.
