Although Zhu Yang knew that he had no hope of inheriting the throne, he was still extremely depressed when he saw his father handing over power to his younger brother, especially since almost every younger brother sent orders, whether it was an attack or logistical supplies, but his task was only to be responsible for the guard of the Changshazhou area.

His Royal Highness's generals were a little suspicious in their hearts, at the critical moment, the person who commanded the troops this time was actually Zhu Xinzheng instead of Zhu Youzhen himself, although the overall planning and scheduling in the early stage has always been this prince's departure, but everyone thinks that the mastermind behind the scenes is Zhu Youzhen who is willing to be dispatched.

The two commanders of Miao and Yi glanced at each other, and the leader of the Miao people stepped out, and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, we are ordered to assist King Chu on the expedition, His Royal Highness the young lord is too young, and he is still young, I'm afraid he won't be able to convince the public, right?"

Zeng Ruhe stood on the side of Zhu Xin and reprimanded the Miao commander: "Young! Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty commanded the army at the age of eighteen, conquered the world, and bravely broke through Dou Jiande's 100,000 army with 3,500 horsemen, besides, the power seal of King Chu is in the hands of the young master, from now on, he is the new King of Chu, since you are assisting King Chu to send troops, you should not have such thoughts!"

The two commanders of Miao and Yi knew that they would definitely not be able to say Mr. Zeng if they were reasonable, although they were not convinced, but when they looked around, no one came out to support the two of them, so they kept silent.

Seeing that the two thorns were silent, many of the other generals were Zhu Xinzheng's descendants, and they naturally didn't say anything about the joy in their hearts, some of the other generals were surprised, and some were a little disappointed.

Zhu Youzhen looked around at everyone, and finally looked straight, and said in a deep voice: "Now, this king announces the time to start the army tomorrow!"

Everyone was stunned.

Zhu Youzhen said slowly: "Early tomorrow morning, with the sound of cannons and fires in the palace, we will start to raise troops, and those who act without permission will die!"

"Yes!"

The crowd bowed together.

After explaining this order, Zhu Youzhen waved his hand confidently: "Everyone is in place, this king is looking forward to tomorrow's success!"

When everyone left the hall, Zhu Youzhen couldn't hold on, leaned back on the chair, and said to his sons tiredly: "You guys also go down and prepare, alas, go and call the fourth child, count it up, my father has imprisoned him for more than three years." Zhu Youzhen let out a light sigh at this time.

The brothers hesitated, and although Zhu Yang was lying down, he still shouted: "Father, the fourth brother, he opposes our army, call him at this time, who knows what unlucky words he will say!"

Zhu Youzhen glared at Zhu Yang.

"Mouthy!"

Not long after, a young man of twenty-three or four-year-old was brought to the palace, he was thin, elegant in temperament, and slightly pale, it was Zhu Kaixiao, the fourth son of Zhu Youzhen.

Seeing that all the brothers were there, Zhu Kaixiao understood that what he was most afraid of was finally coming, he took a few steps forward and knelt down, kowtowed: "Father, we can't use soldiers, once we send troops, we can't reverse it!"

Zhu Youzhen got up and bowed deeply to Mr. Zeng, and said, "In this way, please sir!"

Mr. Zeng nodded slightly, not modest, this arrogance made everyone look sideways at him, Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said, "Xiao'er stays, and the others can go!"

Waiting for everyone to withdraw from the hall, Zhu Youzhen said: "Xiao'er, among the brothers, the father admires Zheng'er the most, but you love you the most, you have been sick since you were a child, and your body is weak, alas, if my father had listened to what you said, or if he had met the surnamed Wu earlier, there might have been a turnaround, but now, even if my father wants to quit the army, he can't!"

Zhu Kaixiao was stunned and said: "Why can't it, as long as my father gives an order, won't my brother and those generals listen to you?"

In the distance, the rooster crowed, the window gradually turned white, the drizzle had stopped, and the palace returned to tranquility, immersed in a wet mist.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the slowly brightening sky outside the hall, and sighed: "Don't say anything else, Xiao'er, come over and accompany your father!"

Zhu Kaixiao found that his father seemed to have suddenly aged by dozens of years, and Zhu Youzhen, who originally looked in his forties, now looked like a frail old man of seventy or eighty years old, and he turned white overnight!

Zhu Kaixiao walked to Zhu Youzhen's side, Zhu Youzhen grabbed his hand, motioned to the eunuch to bring a chair, and said, "Come, you sit down, our father and son are waiting for someone here!"

"Wait for someone, who is it?"

"His name is Wu Fei, he is a disciple of Zhou Chongsheng, he is full of talent like you, and the most terrifying thing is that he has a unique mastery, and no one is invincible!"

Zhu Youzhen said lightly, Zhu Kaixiao was stunned for a moment, and asked: "You are talking about Zhou Chongsheng, but the contemporary giant Confucian, the old master of Zhou in the former dynasty's Ministry of Literature and Selection?" Zhu Youzhen nodded and said, "Yes, it's him!"

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and a little eunuch ran in and said: "Lord Qiqi, the people under the prince of the world caught a woman outside the city, and she said that you will definitely see her, prince!"

Zhu Youzhen was slightly stunned and said, "Woman, what woman?"

The eunuch said, "She is He Qianer!"

"Oh, did she come alone?"

"Back to the prince, it's her alone!"

"He Qianer?" Zhu Kaixiao exclaimed in surprise on the side, although he was imprisoned by his father, but He Qianer's name is like thunder, regardless of talent or appearance, he has been friends for a long time.

Zhu Youzhen was a little surprised, if He Qianer came with Wu Fei, he didn't think it was strange, now that He Qianer came alone, could it be that there was a change, in this case, wouldn't his painstaking plan be prepared in vain? At that moment, Zhu Youzhen nodded and said: "You go and spread the word and let someone bring her here!"

"He Qianer, she, why did she get here?"

"Because the rumor of the army leaked out, my father killed her teacher Qian Wenzhao two days ago!"

Zhu Kaixiao sighed and said, "Qian Wenzhao is a descendant of Xinxue, why do you want to kill him?"

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said: "Yes, so my father has to do it now to raise troops, if you stop, you will die, if you don't stop, maybe you will live!"

Zhu Kaixiao sat down on the chair and said: "Father, you are wrong, put down the butcher's knife, become a Buddha on the spot, and kill the old master Qian by mistake, it may not be a capital crime, and rebellion is death!"

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said: "It's too late to say this now, we might as well wait here, I believe that Wu Gongzi will not let his father wait for a long time!"

Footsteps sounded outside the hall, the door of the hall was pushed open, and two soldiers pushed a woman in, Zhu Youzhen looked fixedly, only to see He Qianer with his hands behind his back and walked in calmly. She changed into a women's dress today, combed a small bun hairstyle on her head, wore a green armor outside, a plain dress inside, and swept her eyebrows on her face, although she did not apply fat powder, it was still bright and moving, as soon as she walked into the hall, it made the entire Mingqian Hall bright, but there seemed to be an indescribable grievance between He Qian and Ermeiyu.

Zhu Youzhen saw that He Qian'er was actually tied with his hands behind his back, and said: "Who tied He Cainu, hurry, hurry up and loosen the tie!"
