Zhu Zhanji almost put the gold medal on Zhu Gaoxu's face and said to him, "Second uncle, this is really the last chance that the emperor gives you."
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the gunman on the city wall. His face changed drastically, and there was panic in his eyes. He struggled repeatedly in his heart, but he finally took back the spear.
"You stay where you are and don't move. I'm going to see the emperor."
Zhu Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, knowing that it was done.
If the second uncle charges rashly regardless of the danger, I'm afraid his life will be decided here.
Zhu Zhanji said with a smile on his face: "Second uncle, I will hold the horse for you."
Zhu Gaoxu snorted coldly when he saw this. Now that the matter was over, he wanted to see what Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Muchen had prepared for him in the city. If he died, the guards behind him would still continue to charge according to his orders.
Zhu Gaoxu followed Zhu Zhanji to the city of Nanjing and climbed onto the city wall. When he saw the familiar figure on the dragon throne, without a moment's hesitation, he knelt down on the ground with a "pop" just like King Zhao.
The King of Han pressed his head tightly to the ground, not daring to say a word. The majesty of the emperor shrouded his head like Mount Tai, making him dare not breathe loudly. Sitting in front of him was the True Dragon Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
.
At this time, the King of Han looked at the guards standing on both sides with his peripheral vision, and saw the cold light of the unsheathed sharp blade. He closed his eyes tightly, not daring to imagine what would happen next moment.
Zhu Di sat firmly on the dragon chair, stroking his beard and looking at the two people in front of him.
"Okay, okay! I really gave birth to two good sons!"
"You two are so nice!"
There was silence all around, everyone was silent except for the sound of burning torches.
Zhu Di did not order the kings of Han and Zhao to be killed on the spot, but asked them to return to their respective mansions to think about their mistakes. In reality, they were in confinement. They were not allowed to take a step out of the mansion without his order.
A rebellion has ended before it even started.
…
Zhu Di sat in the lonely palace, feeling entangled in his heart.
Even the Imperial Guards and Guards were mobilized for this incident, which should not be underestimated.
Although there were no irreversible consequences, the nature of the incident itself was that of rebellion.
But even so, Zhu Di couldn't bear to kill his two sons. In addition to being the Ming Emperor, he was also a father. Even though he was entangled, he still couldn't bear it in the end.
Early the next morning, all the officials in the court were silent. After they learned what happened yesterday, they all broke into a cold sweat.
Now the emperor is openly discussing how to deal with the two princes, and no one dares to say anything at the moment.
After being so quiet for a while, someone in the Jinluan Palace finally spoke, and it was Yu Qian.
"The king of Han and the king of Zhao used troops privately. This is against the king's law and is a blatant rebellion."
His words could be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, causing all the civil and military officials to look at each other and start talking in low voices.
When Chu King Zhu Muchen heard this, he had a headache. He expected that Yu Qian, a straight-tempered man, would say it out loud.
No one in this hall full of civil and military officials knows that the kings of Han and Zhao are planning to rebel.
The problem now is that those two people did not rebel successfully at all, and not even one of their soldiers was lost. And Zhu Di did not kill those two people on the spot. He obviously wanted to save their lives. After all, these two
The prince followed him from the beginning of the rebellion and fought all the way.
Although it is said that the lives of King Zhao and King of Han will not be harmed, they cannot be completely ignored. After all, their behavior is really bad.
If a proper handling is not made and the officials cannot be given an explanation, it will also affect the royal majesty.
Everyone present except Yu Qian understood this truth, but they couldn't guess what Zhu Di meant and didn't dare to make any suggestions.
Zhu Dipi looked at Yu Qian with a dead smile, "According to what you said, what crime should be punished by the King of Han and King Zhao?"
Yu Qian, an outspoken man, said directly: "According to the laws of our dynasty, rebels should kill their nine tribes."
As soon as these words came out, everyone took a deep breath and turned to look at Zhu Di on the throne.
The atmosphere is solemn.
Yu Qian's words are really out of his mind. Who are the nine clans of King Zhao and King Han? That includes the one above. Is he stupid?
Yu Qian also realized that he had said the wrong thing. After being stunned for a long time, he was about to explain.
Zhu Di waved his hand and said impatiently: "Drag Yu Qian down and hit the top ten boards! He will be fined two months' salary."
Yu Qian opened his mouth, but no words came out.
This is the lightest punishment for him.
Later, Yu Qian's screams came from outside the Jinluan Palace, and many ministers were even more afraid to speak. After all, the end was right in front of them, and Yu Qian was being beaten outside.
At this moment, Zhu Muchen stepped forward.
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Muchen, his eyes softened slightly, and asked him: "How does King Chu think it is appropriate to deal with it?"
Zhu Muchen secretly thought in his heart that now Zhu Di just wanted to save the lives of King Han and King Zhao and give them some punishment, so he would just follow the trend and come up with a reasonable solution.
"I thought that the behavior of King Zhao and King of Han was just to train their troops and to prepare for a rainy day. It was just that the noise was too loud and they did not say hello to the officials in advance, so they were alarmed.
Everyone.
In my opinion, I will punish the king of Zhao and Han by banning him for more than a month, and fine him a year's salary to fill the national treasury."
These words undoubtedly spoke to Zhu Di's heart. The majesty on Zhu Di's face gradually faded and was replaced by a look of joy.
He nodded and said: "What the King of Chu said makes sense, but I wonder if all my dear friends think it is appropriate to deal with it this way?"
Before the others could answer, the prince spoke first: "What King Chu said is very reasonable. In fact, King Zhao and King Han did not have bad intentions, but they were a bit reckless. My father also knew their temperament. I thought King Chu's suggestion was very good."
It’s reasonable, just ban them and think about their mistakes.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhu Muchen and Zhu Gaochi sang in harmony and helped Zhu Di step down.
Upon seeing this, all the civil and military officials understood what they meant. They knelt down with the two of them and interceded for King Zhao and King Han. They said that they had no intention of rebellion and asked the emperor to give him a lighter punishment. Some even proposed to commend King Zhao.
, King of Han.
Of course, this person was directly dismissed from his official position by Zhu Di. When Zhu Muchen saw this person, he secretly laughed in his heart. He was just flattering the king and rewarding the king of Han and Zhao. Wouldn't that be encouraging rebellion?
Finally, after the court meeting, the punishment for the King of Zhao and the King of Han was also decided. Because they mobilized the army for drill without permission, they were each punished to be confined in the mansion for a month, and each was fined 100,000 silver taels and confiscated to the public treasury.
This result was expected by Zhu Muchen. In fact, he had learned the news that Zhu Di had recovered a long time ago. Zhu Di kept it secret and must have his own plans. He could just wait and see what happens.
As for the dead men in black summoned by Han King Zhu Gaoxu, Li Yu'an informed him of the news early in the morning. In the Jin Yiwei, not even the King of Han could hide any plans.
After learning about this incident, Zhu Muchen had already arranged a secret sentry near his residence so that he could receive the news whenever there was any disturbance.
Even if a stray dog came nearby, he would know where it came from.
Within the mansion, he even arranged for Aji to lead his most elite men, ready to deal with assassins at any time, forming a foolproof defense.
Long before Zhu Zhanji went to look for him, he knew about a series of changes in the affairs of the King of Han and the King of Zhao, and he carefully arranged everything for this purpose.
Even those black-clothed assassins were deliberately put by Zhu Muchen into his palace in order to make the King of Han careless.
Now the tendency of the King of Han to rebel has become more and more obvious. Even if he exposes his rebellion this time, he will find opportunities to rebel again in the future.
Rather than that, it would be better to let the King of Han suffer severely once. After this time, he will be able to be quiet for a while.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed, and the confinement of the King of Han and King Zhao had been lifted. As Zhu Muchen expected, there was no more movement from them.
On this day, King Zhao came to the palace of King Han.
The King of Han was lying on a chair eating bananas while looking at King Zhao Zhu Gaosui.
"Third brother, what are you doing here? Aren't you making the old man suspicious of us?"
Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui sat directly under the steps and sighed deeply.
"Oh, now the old man doesn't care about you and me at all. After all, we were fooled by that King of Chu, Zhu Muchen."
"Second brother, do you know? After the investigation by my subordinates, I discovered that Zhu Muchen had actually discovered your and my movements a long time ago. He was just pretending."
"Why don't you show off your two martial arts masters to me? The spies said they all died when they entered Prince Chu's palace without even seeing Zhu Muchen's face. They are waiting for you to come to your door."
After hearing this, King Zhu Gaoxu of Han stood up in excitement and his face turned ugly.
"I was wondering why that guy Zhu Muchen is so calm. It turns out that he had colluded with the old man a long time ago to play tricks on us."
"Okay, okay, what a King of Chu, he really has you and me in his palms."
The king of Han strode forward and paced back and forth in the courtyard, hammering each other with his hands, and walked up to Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui.
"Third brother, I finally understand. No matter what we want to do, we must first get rid of that King of Chu."
"With Zhu Muchen here, we are like monkeys in a cage. No matter what we do, it is meaningless. Only when this person is gone can our plan go smoothly."
Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui snorted coldly, "Second brother, it's easy for you to say that. You sent fifty assassins this time but failed to kill King Chu. What else can we do? Should we send a hundred assassins to kill him next time?
Him? Then it would be better to just let a group of cavalry rush into the Chu Palace."?
