Xuan Le wished he could break his teeth. As a prince, his monthly salary was not much. Over the years, Xuan Le had almost spent all his money in the West Garden. Even if Zhu Tianjiang was late, he would take action.
In one month, Xuan Le can use his identity as the crown prince to give the West Garden an official title. In that case, years of hard work can finally come to an end, and the expenses can be allocated from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The remaining balance, Xuan Le
You can also recruit a large number of talented people.
Now that he had finally screened out such loyal people, he actually let Zhu Tianjiang kill twenty or thirty people at once. Xuan Le wished he could cut Zhu Tianjiang into pieces right now.
"Young master, our people are ready. Since he is in the first grade of junior high school, let's do the fifteenth grade as well." Feng Si said fiercely.
Xuan Le took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Xuan Le took a few steps back and forth and finally shook his head.
"A little impatience will ruin a big plan. I asked you to keep an eye on them secretly. Since they can be discovered by Zhu Tianjiang, it means that Zhu Tianjiang has many capable people. It seems that I still underestimated Zhu Tianjiang's strength. Inform my fourth uncle.
, there is no need to send people to keep an eye on Zhu Tianjiang. During this period, everyone in Xiyuan must keep a low profile." Xuan Le arranged coldly.
"Young Master, is this the end of it?" Feng Si looked at Xuan Le in surprise.
"Forget it? Huh! It's not that easy. When the people from Shutian arrive, I will make Zhutian pay the debt with blood." Xuan Le said through gritted teeth.
Feng Si nodded silently. Xuan Le's words were an imperial edict for them, and no one dared to violate them.
After a bloody killing, Zhu Tianjiang thought it would arouse Xuan Le's revenge. Unexpectedly, Xiyuan was very peaceful for several days, as if those killed were not theirs.
As soon as the New Year is over, time flies by and the first lunar month is about to arrive in a blink of an eye. According to Zhu Tianjiang's instructions, Da Niu has already registered with the Ministry of Etiquette and can leave Beijing and go home to get married at any time. However, Zhu Tianjiang has been waiting for the opportunity.
, before the old lady passed away, he knew that Guo Ying would never leave.
The atmosphere in the Guo Mansion has been extremely gloomy these days. The old lady has entered a coma stage and may leave at any time. Although everyone has been prepared in their hearts, even Zhu Tianjiang can't help but feel heartbroken when facing this moment.
Lin Feng no longer pays attention to so much. He holds his withered old hand next to the old lady every day and accompanies the old lady. Guo Tianxin didn't say anything. Whenever he saw his mother wake up from a coma and saw Lin Feng's reassuring expression, Guo Tianxin
Xin also acquiesced to Lin Feng's behavior. Although he felt a little sorry for his biological father, Guo Tianxin was worthy of his conscience and his mother's lifelong upbringing.
Just after the first month and the first day of February, the old lady finally ran out of gas and passed away peacefully.
Everyone in the Guo Mansion was wailing, and Guo Ying was crying hard. But Zhu Tianjiang found strangely that his master Lin Feng had disappeared.
The death of the old lady of the General's Mansion shocked the entire capital. All the palaces and concubines in the harem sent people to express their condolences. Even Emperor Chengwu came to the Guo Mansion in person to cry bitterly. Zhu Tianjiang could tell that,
Emperor Chengwu's tears this time were definitely an expression of his true feelings. The old lady was not only Emperor Chengwu's wet nurse, but also the treasure of the country in Emperor Chengwu's heart. The day after the old lady was reborn, Emperor Chengwu could guarantee that the Guo family would not rebel.
.So no matter how big Guo Tianxin develops in Zhennan, Emperor Chengwu will feel relieved as long as the old lady is in charge of the capital. Now that the old lady has left, Emperor Chengwu will not dare to let Guo Tianxin return to Zhennan.
According to custom, three days later, the Dafeng Dynasty held a grand funeral for the old lady. A Mother Temple was built for the old lady on the edge of Yuhu Lake in the capital as a memorial.
After working hard for a few days, Zhu Er's eyeliner finally discovered Lin Feng, who was drunk and looked unnatural in a tavern. When Zhu Er and others carried Lin Feng back to Guo Mansion, Zhu Tianjiang looked at the skinny and desolate Lin Feng.
Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a twinge in his heart. He knew that no one could change Lin Feng's grief for this kind of thing. He could only let the long river of time gradually forget it.
After the first seven days, Guo Ying's sad mood gradually calmed down. On this day, Zhu Tianjiang called all three ladies to his bedroom.
"Yingzi, my condolences are with you. Birth, old age, illness, and death are natural events for all of us. Today, I have a very important matter that I want to discuss with you." Zhu Tianjiang looked at Guo Ying and the others seriously.
Zhan Ling and Zhu Tianjiang looked at each other. Among the three girls, she was the only one who knew Zhu Tianjiang's plan in advance. After all, Guo Ying and Yu'er had different family backgrounds. If they wanted to leave, Zhu Tianjiang needed to get their hands.
Just agree.
"Husband, just tell me if you have anything to do." Yu'er said softly.
"I want to secretly leave the capital and live a free life in Shutian." After Zhu Tianjiang finished speaking, he looked at Guo Ying and Yu'er carefully.
Unexpectedly, the two girls acted very calmly and did not appear surprised.
Yu'er sighed, "Oh, I knew this day would come sooner or later. Husband, although we are both girls and do not participate in court affairs, we can still distinguish good from bad in some things. I heard from my father, Uncle Huang
We are preparing to rectify military affairs and vigorously support Third Brother's faction. Husband, just leave. Third Brother and you don't like each other, and it will be a matter of time before you stay in the capital."
When Zhu Tianjiang heard this, he felt a warm feeling in his heart. As a member of the royal family, Yu'er could understand his plight, which was very rare.
"Yu'er, if we leave, I'm afraid~!" Zhu Tiansheng looked at Yu'er in embarrassment.
"I know, maybe we will all be sinners of Dafeng in the future. However, since Yu'er is her husband's wife, no matter whether the future is bitter or sweet, we should bear it together." Yu'er said, smiling bitterly.
Zhu Tianjiang nodded, turned to look at Guo Ying, "Yingzi, do you have anything else to say?"
"Tianjiang, I want you to persuade your father to come with us." Guo Ying looked at Zhu Tianjiang pleadingly.
Guo Ying was very conflicted. When they left, Prince Jing would not be implicated, but the Guo family would definitely be implicated. After the death of her grandmother, the only thing Guo Ying cared about was her father Guo Tianxin. She did not want to lose this relative again.
.
"I will persuade my father-in-law, but I'm afraid it will be difficult." Zhu Tianjiang understood Guo Tianxin's temper. His father-in-law's biggest weakness was the word 'loyalty'.
Now that Yu'er and Guo Ying both agreed to leave, Zhu Tianjiang's biggest worry came to an end. Early the next morning, Yu'er returned to her parents' home, preparing to stay with her parents for a few more days.
Zhu Tianjiang came to Guo Mansion and had a long and frank conversation with Guo Tianxin behind closed doors. But no matter how Zhu Tianjiang persuaded him, Guo Tianxin would not leave. Even if he left, he would stay with his mother for three years.
Leave again during the filial piety period.
Now Zhu Tianjiang is in a dilemma. Guo Tianxin won't leave, and Guo Ying is worried. You must know that Zhu Tianjiang's departure is, at best, resigning and not doing anything. At worst, he may become a
Enemies of Dafeng. In this case, the Guo Mansion will be implicated according to Dafeng law.
Just when Zhu Tian was in trouble, Lin Feng unexpectedly assured that Emperor Cheng Wu would never implicate the Guo Mansion.
Zhu Tianjiang looked at Lin Feng in surprise, "Master, once I meet the swordsmen of the Dafeng Dynasty, Emperor Chengwu will definitely threaten me with the Guo Mansion."
"Tiansheng, don't worry. Master will guarantee with his life that Emperor Chengwu will not do this."
When Lin Feng said this, Zhu Tianjiang became even more confused. He didn't understand why Lin Feng was so sure that nothing would happen to Guo Tianxin. But with Lin Feng's character, Zhu Tianjiang also knew that he was definitely not lying.
nonsense.
"Master, can you tell me the reason?" Zhu Tianjiang asked.
Not only Zhu Tianjiang, but also everyone in the room wanted to know the answer. Especially Guo Ying, who was eager to know the answer.
Lin Feng shook his head, "I can't say, but I guarantee with Ruolin's spirit in heaven that nothing will happen to Tianxin. Children, you can go with peace of mind, I will be here to keep an eye on the Guo Mansion for you."
Zhu Tianjiang was shocked, "Master, won't you follow us?"
Lin Feng shook his head, "Tiancheng, Master still has things to do. Maybe in three months, maybe in half a year, I will go to Shutian to find you."
Zhu Tianjiang looked at Lin Feng for a long time, and finally nodded silently, "Master, we believe in you. But you must promise me to take care of yourself."
Lin Feng smiled happily. This was the first time in so many days that Lin Feng smiled.
"Tiansheng, you can go with peace of mind. Master is fine. I have been through many storms, and Master is not so fragile."
Lin Feng said and looked at Guo Ying, "Son, listen to grandpa, your father will be fine."
Looking at Lin Feng's kind eyes, for some reason, Guo Ying suddenly felt an incomparable trust in her heart. With Lin Feng's guarantee, Zhu Tianjiang immediately began to make arrangements. Xuan Le's recent quietness made Zhu Tianjiang
He felt very uneasy. Only when everyone left safely could Zhu Tianjiang's worried heart be relieved.
On the first day before Daniu and others left, Emperor Chengwu unexpectedly announced the adjustment of military personnel in the morning. He also announced that a ceremony to establish the crown prince would be held on the Beginning of Spring three days later.
Zhu Tianjiang no longer cares about this. As long as Daniel and others leave, he will prepare to leave the capital on the day after the ceremony.
The matter of Daniu returning home to get married was not a big deal in the eyes of the officials, but in the eyes of Xuan Le, it was an extremely serious matter. Because the team was too large, he was worried that Zhu Tianjiang would take this opportunity to escape.
.For this reason, Xuan Le did not hesitate to put aside his wealth and personally went out of the city to 'send off' to Daniel.
Seeing Xuan Le coming outside the city, Zhu Tianjiang sneered and greeted him with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Third Highness, this boy Danniu is quite popular, so why don't you come here?" Zhu Tianjiang said sarcastically.
"Master Zhu, you have worked hard and accomplished a lot, and you are marrying a daughter of the Tianqing royal family. Xuan Le should come out to see you off. I don't know whether Master Zhu is going to accompany you for a while, or just say goodbye." Xuan Le said to you as long as you dare to accompany him.
After leaving the capital, he did not hesitate to use his status as a prince and ordered the Xiaoqi camp to arrest people.
Zhu Tianjiang laughed twice, "Daniu is just my disciple. It's not bad to accompany him with such a dowry. Why should he accompany him for a long journey?"
When Zhu Tianjiang said this, Xuan Le immediately felt relieved. As long as Zhu Tianjiang did not leave the capital, his death was not far away.
Xuan Le smiled and stepped forward to say hello to Da Niu, then walked to Yelu Doha's huge carriage and took a look. Zhu Yi and others were all alert, because not only Yelu Doha but also Zhu Daguan were sitting in the car. All three ladies were in the car.
Looking at this large carriage, Xuan Le just smiled, turned around and walked back. He originally wanted to say hello to this azure woman, but when he thought of Yelu Dohan's figure, Xuan Le was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear it. Live in a place of laughter and cause misunderstandings among others.
As soon as Daniu's motorcade left, Zhu Tianjiang and Xuan Le returned to the city gate. After watching Zhu Tianjiang and others walk away, Xuan Le breathed a sigh of relief.
The spies who went to Shutian yesterday have returned to the capital. Xuanle has finished listing Zhu Tianjiang's crimes. If Daniel hadn't left the capital today, he should be in Emperor Chengwu's palace now.
Xuan Le did not return to the Prince's Mansion, but went directly to the palace. The evidence of Zhu Tianjiang's rebellion was already conclusive, and Xuan Le planned to use Zhu Tianjiang as a sacrifice to the heaven at the dinner party in his Prince's Palace to shock the courtiers all over the world.
Emperor Chengwu had just received Zhang Zhonggao. For this loyal minister and good general, Emperor Chengwu treated this loyal minister with kindness and power. He left his family in the capital and established the prince's palace. Zhang Zhonggao also rushed to the south of the town to take office.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness Xuan Le would like to see you." Wei Zhenghai stepped forward and whispered.
"Oh, the third emperor is here, let him come in." Emperor Chengwu was in a good mood these days and wanted to have a few words with his son.
After a while, Wei Zhenghai led Xuan Le into the main hall.
"My son, please pay homage to your father~!"
"Excuse me, Le'er. If you don't make good preparations for the establishment of a heir in the palace, why don't you come to see my father about something?"
Xuan Le looked around and said, "Father, I would like to talk to you about something alone."
Emperor Chengwu was stunned and immediately ordered everyone to retreat. It seemed that his son had something important to say.
"Le'er, if you have anything to do, please tell me." Emperor Cheng Wu looked at Xuan Le strangely.
"Father, there is a treasonous minister in Dafeng, and I have obtained conclusive evidence." Xuan Le said seriously.
"Treason against an important minister? Who?" Emperor Chengwu was startled and asked quickly.
"Zhu~tian~comes!" Xuan Le said the name word by word.
Emperor Chengwu was stunned for a moment, then laughed a few times. After laughing, Emperor Chengwu's face suddenly turned cold, "Le'er, my father knows that there is a gap between you. After all, Zhu Tianjiang has done something good for me, Dafeng, so he can The minister can be suppressed and controlled, but cannot be destroyed. My father hopes that you will not collide with him before you take over the throne. As long as my father is here, Zhu Tianjiang will not be able to overthrow the sky. Don’t worry, when you take over the throne, you will be alive and well. My dead father will never interfere again. Of course, maybe by that time, my father will no longer be alive."
"Father, I am definitely not jealous of the virtuous. Father, please read this." Xuan Le said, taking out a memorial from his sleeve.
Emperor Chengwu took it over doubtfully and slowly opened the memorial. Emperor Chengwu looked at the charges above, and the more he read, the more frightened he became.
Bang~! Emperor Chengwu took a picture of the memorial and said, "Your Majesty, have you personally investigated what is written above?"
"Father, the two foundry craftsmen from Anyuan are still detained in my mansion. In addition, the people who went to Qingcheng have also returned. Although they did not capture witnesses, they stole two Qingcheng guard weapons. , the materials used are definitely not made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.”
The muscles on Emperor Chengwu's face trembled a few times, "Here comes someone!" Emperor Chengwu gave the order, and Wei Zhenghai hurriedly ran up.
"Take a team of people and go to the Prince's Mansion to bring him over to me. I want to ask him personally."
After Emperor Chengwu finished speaking, Wei Zhenghai was a little stupid and didn't know what he was talking about. But he still agreed to retreat. Anyway, he would follow Xuan Le and take whomever he gave him.
The two craftsmen and two long knives were brought to the palace, and Emperor Chengwu interrogated them personally. At this time, Emperor Chengwu was so angry that he couldn't sit still.
Just when Emperor Chengwu was about to order Wei Zhan to fetch someone, he was persuaded by Xuan Le.
"Father, please calm down. Zhu Tianjiang is deeply entrenched in the capital. If he is to be captured, the whole Guo family must be captured as well. Otherwise, with Guo Tianxin's prestige in the army, Dafeng will be in chaos."
When Xuan Le said this, Emperor Cheng Wu suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He was so angry just now that he forgot about Guo Tianxin. Now that Xuan Le reminded him, Emperor Cheng Wu immediately calmed down.
"Your Majesty is right. It seems that I am going to go on a killing spree this time."
"Father, I thought that sending troops to besiege the Guo Mansion and the Anchayuan to arrest people would make too much noise, and it would be easy for them to escape. Why not wait three days later, at the banquet for setting up the crown prince, and bring Zhu Tian down in one fell swoop?
Take them all and their minions."
When Emperor Chengwu heard this, Xuan Le's words were really good. At the Imperial Crown Prince's Dinner, all officials of the fourth rank and above in Beijing would attend. By then, even Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others would come to pay homage. If we arrest people now, there will be too many targets.
Errors will inevitably occur.
As soon as the father and son discussed it, they immediately decided on an arrest plan. This time, there were as many as twenty officials involved. Anyone suspected of being related to Zhu Tianjiang and Guo Tianxin were all on the list.
After sending away several ladies, Zhu Tianjiang was drinking wine peacefully in Zhu Yi's house. He didn't know yet that a catastrophe was about to come. This time, Emperor Chengwu was cruel and would never leave anyone behind.
Otherwise, it will definitely cause riots among some people in the army. Only by cutting the knot quickly and making those people give up, will the Dafeng Dynasty be stable.
