At this time, Guan Tong hurriedly stopped Nai Er Buhua and the others, and told them that it was the army of Zhu Di, the king of Yan of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was sincerely recruiting them.

Moreover, in Zhu Di's army, there are also generals of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, who will not settle accounts after the autumn.

The most important thing is that King Yan has a very powerful firearm, even if they escape this time, they will be captured next time.

At this time, there were cronies who reported that the entire capital was surrounded by the Ming Army.

The faces of the Northern Yuan ministers such as Naier Buhua and Biting, Aru Timur changed slightly, and after thinking for a while, they asked Naier Buhua to follow Guantong and go to Zhu Di's camp to ask for surrender.

Sure enough, Zhu Di set up wine to entertain Naier Buhua, so Naier Buhua was very moved, and took the ministers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty such as Biting and Alu Timur, as well as their respective tribes, horses, camels, cattle and sheep, and surrendered to Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

This time, Zhu Di and other northern expeditionary armies won a complete victory.

On the other side, the army of the West Road led by Zhu Li, the king of Jin, circled in the vast desert and did not find any Northern Yuan thief army.

At the same time, he received an edict from Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and the crown prince Zhu Biao inspected Taiyuan, and Zhu Li, the king of Jin, could only hurriedly return to his division to greet him.

In this battle, Zhu Li, the king of Jin, did not have any gains.

……

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, broke the Northern Yuan army, captured the Northern Yuan Prime Minister's bite, Taiwei Naier Buhua, Zhiyuan Alu Timur and other Northern Yuan troops, as well as countless Northern Yuan tribes and horses, camels, cattle and sheep, and spread to the Beijing Division.

On the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, looked at the good news and was very happy.

"Cleaner of the desert, King Yan!"

The words of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty directly made Zhu Di, the king of Yan, famous.

At the same time, Lao Zhu also very happily rewarded Zhu Di, the king of Yan, with two million treasure bills.

Hearing this, Zhu Li, the king of Jin, was directly in the palace of the king of Jin and was furious.

……

Mid-April.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, led the army and returned to Beiping Mansion.

The officials of Beiping Mansion hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

Following.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, summoned Changshi Zhu Fu and Guo An.

"Zhu Qing, Guo Qing, what happened in Beiping Mansion during the time we left? Why did those officials look at yesterday and all of them were full of worries?

Even, even Zhao Yong, the Marquis of Nanxiong, was urgently recalled to Beijing by his father! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Fu and Guo An glanced at each other, and Zhu Fu replied: "Your Highness, there is no major incident in Beiping Mansion, but a major incident has happened in the court!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment and asked, "What happened in the court?" ”

Zhu Fu replied: "Your Royal Highness, at the beginning of April, there was the family of Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an, and the house slave Feng Tiemu surrendered, and before accusing Lu Zhongheng and Tang Shengzong, Fei Ju, and Zhao Yong, there was a suspicion of conspiracy with Hu Weiyong. ”

"Ji'anhou?"

Zhu Di frowned, Zhu Di still had a good impression of Lu Zhongheng and Tang Shengzong, the Huaixi generals who were the first to raise troops for Zhu Yuanzhang.

"In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, after the Hu Weiyong case, the court asked Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an, who had pardoned him, why did someone accuse him now?

Moreover, Tang Shengzong, Fei Ju, and Zhao Yong were also implicated? ”

Zhu Fu couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Zhu Di said again: "In this way, you have captured a lot of generals? ”

"Your Highness is wise!"

Zhu Fu learned Guo An's usual way of dealing with Zhu Di.

Zhu Di said hatefully, "Those civil officials frame this and that all day long, and sooner or later they will be cut off by their father!" ”

As he spoke, Zhu Di asked again: "In addition to Ji'anhou and them, are there still some others involved?" ”

Zhu Fu replied: "Your Highness, someone has turned over the matter of Han Gong's younger brother Li Cunyi and his son Li You. ”

Zhu Di couldn't help but be furious again, "What do they want to do?" Han Gong is the first hero of my Ming Dynasty, although he is good at jealousy of others on weekdays, but is it possible that Han Gong will also rebel with that Hu Weiyong? ”

Zhu Fu and Guo An were silent, they didn't dare to say a word about this kind of thing.

Zhu Di asked again: "Who else is involved?" ”

Zhu Fu couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Guo An sighed softly and said, "Back to Your Highness, there is also King Tan." ”

"Hachi?"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help sneering, "Xiaoba's temperament, can he still be implicated?" In this matter, there is no need for Xiao Hachi to argue, his father will believe that Xiao Hachi must be innocent. ”

"What His Highness said is extremely true!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "Your Highness, it is Princess Tan's brother Yu Hu who is involved. ”

Zhu Di's face was overjoyed, and then he hated and said: "Father is so kind to the Yu family, then Yu Hu dares to be so restless, he should be killed!" ”

Guo An nodded and said, "Yu Hu has been killed by His Majesty!" ”

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and suddenly, he turned his head to look at Guo An with a puzzled expression.

"Since Yu Hu has been killed, why did Guo Qing say that the eighth brother was implicated."

Guo An sighed slowly, "Your Highness, because of Yu Amber's execution, His Royal Highness King Tan is frightened.

His Majesty sent envoys to the Tan Wangfu to comfort him, and wanted to summon the Tan King to Jingshi.

As a result, King Tan was even more frightened, and even took the princess to self-immolate and die in the palace of King Tan! ”

Zhu Di's face was full of disbelief, "What...... This is impossible, Hachi has been very timid since he was a child, how could he set himself on fire?

Moreover, although my father often punished and whipped me and other brothers, at most he would beat me to bed and couldn't get up, so he would not beat me and my brothers to death...... Hachi's confusion! ”

As he spoke, Zhu Di suddenly remembered something, and his eyes were red.

"No, there must be traitors secretly assassinating this king and other brothers! …… This king is going to Jingshi, and he wants to meet his father, so decent, how could Xiaoba have such a weak temperament and self-immolation? ”

As he spoke, Zhu Di walked out with anger on his face.

Seeing this, Zhu Fu and Guo An were immediately shocked, and hurriedly chased after Zhu Di and stopped Zhu Di.

"Your Highness, Your Highness is angry!"

"Your Highness, calm down!"

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Fu and Guo An with red eyes, staring at Zhu Fu and Guo An viciously, "There is a traitor who harms this king's brother, how can this king calm down?" ”

"Your Highness, unless Your Majesty decrees, the vassal king is not allowed to enter Beijing without permission."

"Your Highness, there is Your Majesty in Jingshi, and the crown prince is here. If there is really a traitor who assassinates the king of Tan, the prince and His Majesty will definitely not forgive him.

But it's been so long......"

"Moreover, during this period of time, so many nobles have been involved in the Hu thief case, and Your Majesty is in a bad mood, if Your Highness enters Beijing so rashly, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be even more angry......"

Zhu Di's face softened, and he asked in a cold voice, "What happened to those envoys who were sent to King Tan's Mansion by their father?" ”

Guo An breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Back to Your Highness, those envoys don't have any news. Wei Chen guessed that His Majesty would definitely have the same suspicions as His Highness, and let Jinyi Wei torture and interrogate those envoys! ”

"Hmph, none of those thieves are innocent!"

Zhu Di said hatefully, but he had no idea of going to Jingshi.

As for the envoys, they were innocent, but they just happened to encounter this unfortunate thing. Or is it because someone is scaring the king of the pond in it, or stimulating the hint of the king of the pool.

No matter what, now Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and others are eager to rip it off, and no one will intercede with them.

Or, Zhu Zi, the king of Tan, really did something unseemly, so he set himself on fire in the palace of King Tan.

Otherwise, by now, it seems that Zhu Yuanzhang still hasn't given Zhu Zi, the king of Tan, a nickname!

Guo An, Zhu Fu and others, and even the entire Ming Dynasty officials and nobles have guesses, but no one dares to talk nonsense.

Otherwise, not only Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't spare them, but even Zhu Biao, Zhu Li, and Zhu Di, the princes and vassal kings, would not let them go.

And so, more than ten days passed.

The court found out the reason for King Tan's self-immolation, and Zhu Zi, the king of Tan, was indeed frightened and did not dare to enter the capital to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, so he set himself on fire in the palace of King Tan.

Hearing the news, Zhu Di was puzzled and a little angry.

However, nothing was done.

This thing is a little too weird.

Moreover, the situation in the imperial court has become more and more strange in the past few days.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly adjusted several Shangshu positions, allowing Yang Jing to be transferred from the Household Department Shangshu to the Criminal Department Shangshu post, and in addition, Zhao Mian was transferred from the Criminal Department Shangshu to the Household Department Shangshu.

Even, Shen Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Qin Kui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, were also transferred.

You must know that with the abolition of the prime minister, the position of the six books has become more and more important.

But now, the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang is directly so moved by the six Shangshu.

Even Zhu Di, who didn't care much about the government, felt that something was wrong.

Subsequently.

It didn't take a few days.

Zhan Hui, the imperial historian of the left capital, played the impeachment of military attache Qiu De and other 578 people, who were guilty of concealing and not reporting, hereditary officials and unknown military achievements!

The military attache's combat exploits are forged, which is the greatest killing force for the military attaché!

first arrested a large number of generals such as Lu Zhongheng, and now they want to arrest more than 500 generals?

The infighting is a bit serious.

"The martial artist Shaowen, or the letter of the entruster, will inevitably have a misinterpretation, do not ask, the person who conceals the edict will chase it, and the one whose combat exploits are unknown will be corrected."

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty rarely defended these generals in the court, and did not want to kill these brothers who were loyal to him and followed him to fight and kill.

However, Zhan Hui of the Left Capital Yushi is a young Zhuang faction, which is left to Zhu Biao's team.

So, the next day, he proposed in the court to let the princes return to their hometowns.

Many lieges are old, and they have been killed for the Ming Dynasty for so many years, and it is time to return to their hometowns to enjoy the blessings.

Immediately, he gave three hundred taels of gold, four thousand taels of silver, five thousand ingots of banknotes, and fifty horses of Wenqi to Xu Huizu, the founding prince of Wei, Chang Sheng, the founder of Cao, Li Jinglong, Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, Deng Zhen, and Fu Youde, the Duke of Ying.

In addition, ten Wuhous, including Xie Cheng, Hou Xiecheng, Zhao Yong, Hou Zhaoyong, Li Xin, Hou Chongshan, Cao Xing, Hou Cao Xing, Hou Cao Xing, Hou Zhanglong, Hou Zhanglong, Dingyuan, Hou Qiu Zheng, Hou Qiuzheng, Wujia Hou Guo Ying, Gongchang Hou Guo Zixing, and Heqing Hou Zhang Yi, each gave 200 taels of gold, 3,000 taels of silver, 3,000 ingots of banknotes, and 40 horses.

This time, Lao Zhu was bloody, and there was no search.

Even, each prince was assigned an iron army of 100 households to protect the safety of these princes when they returned to their hometowns.

Hearing the news, Guo An, Zhu Fu and others were all full of shock.

As for Zhu Di, his eyes were full of coldness, "What a Zuodu Imperial Shi Zhan Hui, a good group of civil officials!" ”

This is obviously Lao Zhu's concession.

Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, Chang Sheng, Founding Duke Changsheng, Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao, and Deng Zhen, Duke of Shen, are all second-generation dukes, a group of dukes in the prime of life, where do you say that you are old?

In the face of Lao Zhu's response, Zuodu Yushi Zhan Hui and other civil officials were also stunned.

However, the emperor's order cannot be violated.

Subsequently, two days later, Zhang Tinglan, the secretary of Dali Temple, was transferred to the political envoy, and Lao Zhu fought back.

Following.

Zhan Hui and other supervising imperial historians once again brushed up on the crime, strongly demanding that the crimes of the Taishi Li Shanchang, as well as Li Shanchang's younger brother Li Cunyi and nephew Li You be dealt with.

So, Lao Zhu nodded in agreement.
