Chapter 522: Engagement

Since Tang Ming came back, he has lived his life as usual, and he has not paid too much attention to any disturbances on Daming's side. Zhu Gaochi, the www.biquge.info of Pen & Fun & Pavilion, blocked the news very well, and three days passed, and the spies who stayed in Beiping to inquire about the news still did not hear anything.

Whether Zhu Di is alive or dead Tang Ming has not yet made a final decision, but he knows that the army gathered in Beiping will not come to encircle and suppress him again in a short time.

In this way, no matter whether Zhu Gaochi decided to avenge his father or not after learning that he had blown up the imperial study in the future, as long as there is one more month, his hot air balloons and spaceships will reach an astonishing number, and the war materials such as gunpowder and fire oil will also be saturated.

At that time, he will no longer be afraid of anyone, and even if Da Ming really comes with a million army, he can still easily deal with it. Even as long as he wants to, he can strike first at any time, just like last time, and make a big bombardment of the imperial city.

He believed that even if Zhu Gaochi still wanted to avenge his father, he would consider this problem, unless he had solved his own air strike, otherwise he would not dare to act rashly.

Under such a premise, Tang Ming had no need to worry too much. Today's weather is good, he took Xiao Jasmine and Xiao Bohu early in the morning, and Xiaobai wanted to go to the back mountain to see his wolf brothers and brothers.

Unexpectedly, before he stepped out of the door, he saw Li Ba coming in a hurry, and said with a grin: "The letter from Daming seems to have been written to you by Zhu Gaochi." ”

Tang Ming frowned, took the envelope, tore it open in front of him, and took out the letter paper to see that it was indeed Zhu Gaochi's handwriting. But there are only three words in it: 'why'.

Li Ba saw that Tang Mingxin had read it for a long time but didn't read it, so he immediately stretched his neck and leaned in to look at it, and soon the three big characters on the paper appeared in his eyes. Inexplicably, he said suspiciously: "What the hell is Zhu Gaochi doing, and he won't say whether his father is dead or not." ”

The task was carried out by Li Ba, and three days had passed since the incident, but he could not get any news of Zhu Di's life and death, which made Li Ba, the person who led the team, more and more worried.

Tang Ming folded the letter again and put it into his arms, looked at the sky thoughtfully, and said, "Do you need to say anything?" Everything is already contained in those three words, and Zhu Di seems to be really dead. But Zhu Gaochi still can't understand me, maybe I should go and see him in person, so that maybe this hatred can be resolved, at least it won't continue to deteriorate. ”

"This, how can it be! If Zhu Gaochi really knew that you did the thing, the pain of killing his father, wouldn't you go to see him at this time to send him to death? Li Ba was very surprised in his heart, in his opinion, Tang Ming was no different from a madman.

Tang Ming shook his head, went back to the room and wrote a letter to Li Ba, asking him to send the letter to Daming as soon as possible. The letter was naturally the place and time where he and Zhu Gaochi made an appointment to meet, and Tang Ming chose to be in Tianjin. Whether he will be killed by Zhu Gaochi this time, in fact, he has no bottom in his heart, but if he doesn't go, the army will still attack, and it is likely to be more than Zhu Di at that time.

Although Tang Ming could leave it alone, he would take the risk of killing Zhu Di in order not to make himself and Da Ming real enemies, and not to let the two sides fall into this whirlpool of hatred.

Whether it is the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty or his own subordinates, once the battle starts, it is not good for that side, especially the Ming Dynasty, which has just improved, and it can't withstand such a toss. After all, Tang Ming had the two major killer weapons of hot air balloons and spaceships in his hands, and if he would lose, it should be said that it was only an economic loss of money.

Tang Ming didn't care about Li Ba's dissuasion at all, and directly blasted him out, and at the end he warned him to send the letter as soon as possible, otherwise he would directly serve him in military court.

Li Ba was forced by Tang Ming's obscenity, and he didn't dare to say anything in person, so he could only leave in a huff, but instead of sending a letter, he went to Zheng He to persuade Tang Ming.

But when Li Ba found Zheng He, the response he got was not to interfere with Tang Ming's decision. Zheng He had already seen very clearly that Tang Ming might be very passive when facing Zhu Di, but now that he was facing Zhu Gaochi, at least in terms of safety, he didn't need to worry too much about it.

Even Zheng He said so, Li Ba had no choice but to obediently deliver the letter. Soon Zhu Gaochi received a letter from Tang Ming, which did not contain the explanation he expected, but a time and place.

"Tomorrow at noon, Tianjin Wei's Wharf Inn!" After Zhu Gaochi recited it silently, he immediately decided to go.

Then he called Zhu Yong and asked him to bring a thousand Praetorian Guards to clear the field now, and anyone who was suspicious could not be let go.

Although Zhu Yong didn't understand what Zhu Gaochi was going to do, as his courtier, he could do everything, and he agreed without asking anything and immediately led people away.

The imperial city has completely calmed down in the past two days, and Zhu Gaochi's high-pressure methods have worked very well, and he has really killed a lot of people in these two days. All those who showed even the slightest opposition to his accession to the throne have become dead souls, and Zhu Gaochi is not soft at all for these people who dare to question him.

At present, the most troublesome thing is only his second brother Zhu Gaoxi, Zhu Gaochi can't do anything to him now, with Zhu Gaoxi's relationship in the army and his connections in southern Fujian. Once Zhu Gaochi makes any changes to him, it is very likely that an uncontrollable mutation will occur in the entire southern Fujian and the army.

Therefore, he can only put him under house arrest now, and he didn't even let him know the news that Zhu Di was attacked and died.

The imperial city was very calm on the surface, but in fact, there was an undercurrent, and those ministers who were controlled by the army and were not allowed to go out of their homes began to feel the uneasy atmosphere of the entire Beiping City.

Although they were all under house arrest, everyone had their own sources, and the imperial study in the imperial city was razed to the ground in an instant, and even a large hole was blown up. Such news was still known to them, but fortunately, Zhu Di's life and death are not yet known to them.

But Zhu Gaochi knew very well that this was only temporary, and he believed that in less than two days, things in the imperial city would completely break out. He will then be questioned by all the ministers, and he will have to prepare everything as quickly as possible. Fortunately, now he still holds the military power of a million-strong army, otherwise it is very likely that this time because of Tang Ming's sudden move, he will also fall into a place of no return.

The initiative is still in Zhu Gaochi's hands, so he doesn't have much sense of urgency now, after all, there are still two generalissimos in the army on his side. With the two of them, the ministers of the court will not be able to stir up the wind and waves, but it is a pity that Yao Guangxiao is not here at the moment, otherwise, with him to suppress those civil officials, I believe that there will be no disharmony when he ascends the throne.
