Yunnan is the commander of the embassy office, surrounded by a soldier. Dense heavy infantry with guns and shields in front blocked the gates, and gunners and crossbows in the rear were in full array. These horses were all dressed in the armor of the Ming army, and a fluttering flag had the word "Han" written on it.

Outside the gate of the government office, there were also many armored soldiers with knives and guns, facing the people outside, but everyone did not dare to act rashly.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu and the others had already arrived outside the lobby. Zhu Gaoxu was dressed in armor, but he did not carry a weapon.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han, they are all their own people, why do you have such a big battle?" A man in a red official robe hugged his fists.

Zhu Gaoxu's kind smile seemed to reassure the officials. He also clenched his fists and said, "Sorry to disturb you." However, this king has just received a secret report that someone in Dali Mansion is plotting to rebel! The stakes are so high that I have to make this decision. Rest easy, everybody. ”

The officials asked, "Who rebelled?" "When ......"

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't answer them one by one, and glanced sideways at the eunuch Yellow Dog. Yellow Dog walked up the stone steps in front of the lobby and unfurled the Holy Decree and said, "Holy Decree! ”

Everyone suddenly walked down the steps and knelt down one after another in the courtyard.

Huang Gou read: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the system says: Yuezhou Tuzhizhou Azi, because of his reluctance, refuses to turn to the ...... Yunnan is far away, and in the future, the capital must use troops, so he will go to the Han Wangfu and Xiping Hou Mansion to say hello. Chin this. ”

When the officials heard this decree, they were puzzled, because it had been decreed a few months ago. They didn't know what was going on, and they didn't understand why they had to recite the old decree again.

Zhu Gaoxu waited for everyone to stand up, and then said: "The meaning of the imperial court, you all understand?"

Now the king wants the capital to issue a military order to the general army, garrison, and guard of Dali. From now on, the armies of Dali Prefecture shall not be transferred or dispatched for any reason without the military order of the Yunnan Metropolitan Division; It is not allowed to interfere with the official business of the Han Palace's guards. Violators will be punished for disobeying military orders and attempting to rebel! Colleagues of the Metropolitan Division, can you issue this military order? ”

A group of people in various official uniforms looked at each other and discussed.

At this moment, Cao Long, the commander of the Yunnan capital, took the lead in standing up and said loudly: "The edict of the imperial court is to call the three divisions of Yunnan to use troops, and to have the prophet to meet the Han Wangfu and the Xiping Marquis Mansion, and they must all agree to mobilize the troops and horses." Now His Royal Highness the King of Han is not allowed to transfer troops without authorization, this is a matter of law and order, why not? ”

That Cao Long is the person who only came to Yunnan this year to take charge of the capital to command the envoys, and it is not surprising that the officials who have just changed the imperial court immediately expressed their attitude of upholding the edict of the Ming court.

After a while, the newly appointed commanders, commanders, and other officials also echoed them.

The remaining group of officials did not object, some seconded the proposal, and some remained silent. First, some important official positions in the capital division have been changed this year; Second, they have no reason to refute it...... Zhu Gaoxu didn't ask Du Si to use troops, but only asked them to prohibit local transfers, which was not too much.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hands and said, "Since that's the case, give the order!" In addition, in order to prevent the leakage of military aircraft, the king has to complain to you to live in the government office for a few days. Later, the palace will send wine and delicacies to the princes; There are also some courtesans in the palace, and they will be sent over for everyone to cheer up in a while. ”

The officials relaxed a lot, the courtyard was noisy, and there was a humane: "Don't you need a courtesan?" Since someone is rebelling, we are still singing and dancing in the official mansion, like what are ......"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I'm frightened and wronged, I should wait." Whatever the princes want, they can speak to the generals outside the door, and the king will respond to their requests. ”

…… At this time, inside and outside the Mu Mansion, there were no soldiers and horses disturbed.

Inside the mansion, there was an atmosphere of panic up and down, and the servants walked very fast, and some even had to run.

"Hiss......" Mu Sheng split his mouth and made a soft sound. Lang Zhong next to him had just cleaned the wound on his arm with potion.

In addition to Lang Zhong and the maid in the hall, there were also some family members and civil and military cronies, all standing in the room, and someone asked, "Is the sword wound of the Hou Ye important?" ”

Lang Zhong said: "Don't worry, there is a family medicine for bruises, just wash the wound, sew it with thread, and then apply external medicine, which will keep the wound safe." ”

After hearing this, the person who asked the question just now looked annoyed again, and said, "What does King Han mean?" Transferred so many troops and horses to block the four cities, saying that they wanted to search for the assassins, but they hid the assassins first...... What is he going to do?! ”

Another official muttered, "The assassin can't be sent by the King of Han, right?" ”

Mu Sheng finally spoke: "You can't talk nonsense!" Is there any evidence to prove the mastermind behind the assassins? Who saw the King of Han harboring the Assassins? ”

The official said in a low voice: "There are really passers-by who saw it, Ma Zongqi was clever and invited the witnesses to the house......"

"Humph!" Mu Sheng made a voice, "If you want to find someone like one or two to confess to the prince, I'm afraid it's not too simple?" ”

At this moment, a slave ran to the door, gasped and said, "Lord Hou, the King of Han has mobilized heavy troops and has surrounded the commanders and envoys!" ”

The crowd was in an uproar. Mu Sheng immediately asked, "Only surround the commander of the envoy?" How about the political envoy and the prosecutor's office? ”

The servant bowed, "There is no movement anywhere else." Only besieged the commander of the envoy, and now none of the people inside have come out, and no one outside can enter, so I don't know what happened inside. At this time, the soldiers and horses in the city were mobilized, and the people were panicked......"

There was a lot of discussion in the hall for a while.

Mu Sheng sat silently for a while, his face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes were straight! He stood up suddenly.

"Lord Wang......, wait a minute," Lang Zhong said, "and let me apply the creative medicine under it." ”

Mu Sheng dropped a sentence, "Skin trauma, can't die!" He left his seat and left. Everyone was confused and surprised, looking at Mu Sheng's back for some reason.

Mu Sheng hurriedly walked to the inner house and entered Old Madam Geng's room. The old lady had inconvenient legs and feet, and rarely went out of the courtyard of the inner house, Mu Sheng reported her first after being injured, and then went to the hall to meet guests. Mu Sheng saw her as soon as he entered, and he waved his hand to tell the slaves and maids to stand down, and at the same time stepped forward to greet her.

After a while, the Marquise Chen and Mu Zhen also came in.

Old Madam Geng asked with concern, "My son's face is so bad, is he seriously injured?" ”

"It doesn't matter if it hurts!" Mu Sheng glanced at his wife and daughter, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid that my Tibetan affairs in Dali have been discovered!" ”

When Mrs. Geng heard this, she struggled in her chair and sat down again, "Why?" ”

Mu Sheng said: "The king of Han closed the four gates of Kunming, and rode out of the city; Then he led the troops to surround the capital and command the envoys...... My son was still in the dark at the beginning, thinking, I am a marquis of the Ming court, and he doesn't dare to touch me even if he is a prince? Then the son suddenly understood that the intention of King Han to be drunk was not to drink, but to block Kunming and deliver the news to Dali! ”

"What?" Old Madam Geng is old, and she doesn't seem to understand it for a while, "Why is there no news beforehand?" ”

Mu Sheng's eyes were already round: "Because of this, King Han suddenly launched." The king of Han wants to send troops to Dali to do that, even if he transfers cavalry and horses, it is not as fast as the fast horse messenger; So he had to block the news first. If Kunming is not blocked, our people in Dali will get the news in advance, be prepared, and respond to the situation......"

Old Madam Geng finally understood, her hands trembled, and her words were a little blurred: "Didn't you say that things are secret and foolproof?" How could someone find out unknowingly? ”

Mu Sheng almost cried: "My son is careless!" Knowing that King Han and Hu Hu came to Yunnan, they might want to investigate this matter; But they thought that they didn't have any connections in Yunnan when they first arrived, and even if they could find out Dali, there would always be some movement and traces in advance. Who knew that there was no rumor at all, so soon they checked it. ”

"Sheng'er, don't worry." Old Madam Geng said, "It's just your speculation for a while, maybe that's not the case." ”

Mu Sheng shook his head and said, "Besides, my son can't think of any other reason why King Han did these things...... The son knew that the king of Han was not a reckless man, but he still underestimated him, alas! ”

He said that he sighed for a long time, looking remorseful and depressed.

At this moment, Mu Zhen said in a slightly childish voice: "Dad, who is the person you are hiding?" ”

Chen Shi dragged Mu Zhen, "How can you have a lot of mouths?" ”

Mu Sheng paced around the room, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

"Old lady, old lady......" Chen's voice suddenly shouted. Mu Sheng hurriedly walked to the front of the chair and was about to call someone, but when he saw that Old Madam Geng had opened her eyes a little, he breathed a sigh of relief, "The matter has come to this, don't be too anxious." ”

Old Madam Geng didn't say a word.

Mu Sheng turned his head to Chen and whispered, "Right now, the four cities of Kunming are closed, it's too late for us to do anything...... But you still have to be ready first, once this matter is indeed as I expected, you will take your mother, Mu Bin, and Mu Zhen out of the house quickly, hide first, and find an opportunity to leave Kunming City! ”

Chen asked in a daze, "Things have come to this point?" ”

Mu Sheng nodded and said, "I also want to see that I guessed wrong!" But in case I guessed correctly, this matter has touched the scale of today's rebellion, and I am afraid that the Mu family will not be able to escape this catastrophe! ”

"Master Hou......" Chen's eyes were full of tears.

Old Madam Geng said weakly: "What are you going to do with this old bone?" Sheng'er, you calm down first, although you have a point, but hasn't it happened yet? ”

Mu Sheng nodded and said: "This matter is a step too late, and I don't dare to prepare in advance in the future." ”

Old Madam Geng said: "Sheng'er encountered the assassin, and the old man heard that the king of Han sheltered the assassin. Who are the assassins? What's going on? ”

Mu Sheng shook his head and said, "My son doesn't know." No one knew who the Assassins were, let alone why the King of Han had sheltered the Assassins...... But the Assassin was certainly not a man of the Han King, so why would the Han King do such a thing? ”

At this moment, Mu Zhen wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said: "Daddy......" As soon as she spoke, she was immediately stopped by Chen.
