In this era, there is no shortage of loyal ministers.

Loyal ministers do not blindly pledge allegiance to a certain person, they fight for the common good.

Their noble qualities are admired at the same time, but they are also like a flash in the pan.

They will not become a tool for others to compete for power and profit, just like the crown prince, it is precisely because the prince is the same as them and thinks about the people of the world that they will willingly belong to the prince.

Today, the news of the rebellion of the King of Han suddenly broke out in the court, and it is estimated that it will soon spread in Yingtianfu.

It is impossible for the entire imperial court to be unanimous.

There are loyal ministers like Yu Xuekui, and there are courtiers who are secretly active.

They are at both ends of the head and rat, between the king of Han and the imperial court, left and right.

Of course, there are also many people who secretly defect to the King of Han and help the King of Han find out information in the court.

Thousands of people have thousands of faces, and it is impossible to see them all.

But Yu Xuekui, Zhu Zhanji felt that he should see through him.

Zhu Zhanji stood at the gate of the palace until he watched Yu Xuekui walk away, then he withdrew his gaze and turned back to the palace.

However, this time, he did not go directly to the old man's imperial study, but planned to return to the East Palace.

If you go to the imperial study, you will inevitably be scolded.

Therefore, it is important to go back to the East Palace to avoid the limelight for a while.

But just when Zhu Zhanji had just walked into the East Palace and had not yet entered the room, he suddenly heard a shout from the garden: "Stinky boy, come here!" ”

This voice is full of energy.

It can never be the crown prince.

Is it an old man??

Zhu Zhanji's heart was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't stop crying, so he could only walk towards the place where the sound came from with a scowling face.

Sure enough, in the small pavilion in the garden, the old man was lying on a chair, just looking at the grandson.

Zhu Zhanji hurriedly showed a smile: "Old man, why do you have time to come to the East Palace?" ”

Zhu Di grinned: "If I don't come, are you going to turn the sky upside down?" ”

Zhu Zhanji's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Old man, how do you say this?" ”

Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Don't pretend to be confused for me, do you really think your grandfather is a big fool?" ”

"Those words in the court, you fooled others, who do you think can't see it?"

Zhu Zhanji was a little embarrassed, nodded and said, "This, Yu Xuekui also told me on the way." ”

Zhu Di smiled: "This old guy's eyes are thieves, of course you can't fool him." ”

Zhu Zhanji smiled, walked behind the old man, pinched the old man's shoulders and said, "Old man, this matter is over, there is no need to be so excited." ”

Zhu Di enjoyed his grandson's massage, closed his eyes slightly, shook his head and said, "No, go to the Daming Ancestral Temple and kneel for three hours and come back." ”

"Oh." Zhu Zhanji nodded, turned his head and walked towards the Daming Temple.

The old man scolded angrily in the back: "Stinky boy, just leave, don't beat grandpa's back?" ”

Unfortunately, there was no response.

"Prince, Prince." Zhu Di shouted again.

In the room, the prince, who was dealing with government affairs, hurriedly walked out and looked at his father: "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

Zhu Di beckoned: "Come here, give Dad a beating on the back." ”

The prince looked confused, and honestly slapped the old man's back.

While enjoying the beating of his back, the old man muttered: "This child, after becoming the grandson of the emperor, has become more and more unscrupulous. ”

Before, Zhu Zhanji was still restrained in front of the old man.

But now, the true nature is all exposed.

Sure enough, this is the difference between a grandson and a godgrandson.

This stinky boy is not afraid of himself at all.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Yu Xuekui, who had received the holy decree, immediately set off.

At present, the rebellion of the Han King is strong, and the sooner he rushes there, the sooner he can save the people of the world.

Therefore, Yu Xuekui did not hesitate and set off quickly. In the afternoon of the same day, a guard and carriage escorted him to the Shandong region.

This time I go, I am bent on going my own way, dying, and spending my old age in peace, I don't know if it can be realized......

However, before leaving, Yu Xuekui's eyes were still firm and not afraid.

He was ready to die!

……

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

In the past three days, Yu Xuekui has traveled nearly thousands of miles, and finally entered the border of Shandong.

His first stop was not to go directly to Qingzhou to negotiate with King Han.

Instead, he went to Dongchang Mansion.

Because, there is also an army guarding it.

Compared with directly persuading the Han King to surrender, Yu Xuekui felt that there was little hope, so it was better to start with the army around him first.

Only in this way can hope be greatened.

Hearing that Scholar Yu was going to Dongchang, in the escort team, a centurion couldn't help but say: "Scholar Yu, you go directly to King Han, and maybe you can negotiate with King Han." ”

"But if you go to Dongchang, it's a group of soldiers, and you don't know that you are a scholar of the Hanlin Academy."

Maybe as soon as he goes, he will be cut directly before he can say a word.

This is the concern of the soldiers.

However, Yu Xuekui did not have this kind of trouble.

He shook his head and said, "It's okay, the old man has his own countermeasures, you can go to Dongchang according to what I said." ”

Seeing that Yu Xuekui insisted, the centurion had no choice but to change the direction of the team and go in the direction of Dongchang.

During this time, Yu Xuekui sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate.

His mind was running at high speed.

Although he is close to the age of six, it does not mean that his IQ is not good.

After another day's work, Yu Xuekui finally arrived at the boundary of Dongchang.

It's okay in the suburbs, I don't see anything.

When I entered Dongchang Mansion, the situation came.

Yu Xuekui saw that the people of Dongchang Mansion were being persecuted by these soldiers and ruffians who were defending the city.

Some people robbed people's girls on the street in broad daylight, and some people ate people's buns casually, and they didn't pay for the wine and food.

In addition, they oppressed the people everywhere and made them miserable.

It is said that after the slaughter of Qingzhou, Dongchang Province soon surrendered.

Because the guard of Dongchang Mansion was afraid that after the King of Han entered the city, he would also start a massacre, so he chose to surrender for the sake of the people of Dongchang Mansion.

This allowed the people of Dongchang to be preserved.

However, what the people of Dongchang Mansion are suffering at the moment can be regarded as dire straits.

In the carriage, Yu Xuekui opened the curtain and looked at the scenes happening on the street.

His loyal heart seemed to be poked over and over again by a knife.

Under the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, under the light of the great grandfather and the current emperor, the Ming Dynasty has never had such a chaotic time.

This is the first time since the founding of the country.

Seeing these people being bullied, seeing women from good families being molested, and seeing soldiers and ruffians eating without paying, the people trembled and dared not speak......

Yu Xuekui's heart was full of anger, and it rushed straight to his head.

"Brute! Brute ......" Yu Xuekui roared.

When he came to Shandong, he heard that most of the entire territory of Shandong had surrendered to the Han king, and the whole Shandong had fallen under the control of the Han king.

And the soldiers under the Han King were composed of horse bandits, White Lotus Sects, Ming Sectists, etc.

These people have always been extremely vicious.

With them to defend the city, Yu Xuekui had already guessed that the people of Shandong were going to suffer.

But he didn't expect that the order would be chaotic to such an extent, which was the prelude to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty and the division of the country.

Under the anger, he wanted to go out and stop.

However, Yu Xuekui also knew that he didn't come for this.

It's to persuade the Dongchang guards, Liu Gongcao!

"Don't stop, let's go." Yu Xuekui commanded outside.

The guards outside led the carriage and continued to walk forward.

When the carriage drove out of the road, Yu Xuekui still couldn't help it, lifted the curtain behind the carriage, and looked back.

The scenes of the people's suffering are vivid.

Yu Xuekui took a deep breath, his heart was not calm, as if his internal organs had been violently shaken.

He clenched his fists angrily and muttered: "The people are suffering, the people are suffering, and the duckweed has no roots, why are the people suffering?" ”
