His Highness the King of Han returned to the capital in the evening of the same day. He originally heard that the three imperial guards had surrendered to him and that the capital was under control. The King of Han was very happy. However, after learning the news that the prince had escaped, his good mood suddenly disappeared, and his face became grim.
The sky is getting darker with dark clouds.
Seeing the expression of His Highness the King of Han, the generals who came to greet him were trembling with fear and did not dare to breathe.
"Once the city gate is closed, it's hard to fly. How can people escape?" Zhu Gaoxu tried not to get angry, but he still couldn't help but get angry: "What the hell do you eat?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down, we have a mole in our midst." The generals hurriedly pushed out the tied Xu Yelu, "This is the man who killed Niu Qian and Ma Yan, and let the prince go."
"Xu Ye Ass" Zhu Gaoxu's chest felt tight and he almost vomited blood. He had expected it was right. Xu Ye Donkey was indeed unreliable. His Highness the King of Han's intestines was about to turn green with regret. His eyes were wide open, the whites of his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and his pupils were filled with bloodshot eyes.
Li was so angry that he stretched out his hand and lifted the more than 160 kilograms of Xu wild donkey from the ground. "How can I be sorry for you?"
"Haha" Xu Yelu laughed miserably and said: "Your Majesty treats me well, but the Emperor is very kind to me. I can't betray the Emperor..."
"Are my father and Zhu Gaochi the same thing?" Zhu Gaoxu's face turned from green to black, the anger in his eyes turned into murderous intent, and his hands tightened.
"Of course it's not the same thing..." Xu Yelu's throat was squeezed tighter and tighter, and it became more and more difficult to speak out, but he insisted on refusing to let go: "But the prince, after all, is the prince appointed by the emperor to supervise the country.
Ah……"
This sentence hit Zhu Gaoxu's weak spot, making him feel ashamed of being stripped naked in public. He couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and he was so evil that he swung up and threw Xu Yelu's huge body away.
He got up. Then he flew up with his right foot and kicked the cannon into the sky, kicking Xu Yelu on the waist and eyes of Xu Yelu who had just fallen. Xu Yelu screamed and spurted blood from his mouth, and was kicked up more than a foot high again.
Under the stunned gaze of the generals, the King of Han kicked Xu Ye's back and abdomen crazily like a sandbag. Xu Ye's unconsciousness had long been lost and he no longer vomited blood. He was completely reduced to a broken sandbag until Zhu Gaoxu finished venting.
, used an extremely powerful roundhouse kick to kick him several feet away, and fell heavily to the ground. His hands and feet were in very strange postures. You didn't need to check to know that he was dead.
The generals couldn't help feeling frightened, but they didn't know that the nightmare was still to come. They heard Zhu Gaoxu hatefully say: "Drag them out, chop them into pieces, make them into buns and reward the three armies."
After hearing what the King of Han said, some people wanted to vomit on the spot. However, in front of the demon-like Zhu Gaoxu, they had to hold back their vomiting. If they pissed off the prince and were kicked around like this, their lives would be in danger.
…
Several sergeants stepped forward and dragged Xu Yelu's body down. It was not known whether he was really making human meat buns...
"You don't have to be so nervous, your performance is still very good." Zhu Gaoxu smiled faintly and comforted the generals. Everyone just felt relieved, but then they heard his words and said in a subtle way: "Baozi will be ready later."
Eat more..."
"Ugh..." Someone finally couldn't help but vomited.
"Hahahaha, I am joking." Zhu Gaoxu laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I, Zhu Gaoxu, have clear grudges. Those who fight alongside me today will be my hero in the future. Anyone who dares to oppose me today, Xu Ye
The donkey is what will happen to him.”
"We will swear allegiance to the prince to the death." All the generals hurriedly knelt down on one knee.
"Very good, get up." Zhu Gaoxu nodded with satisfaction, and told a few words that the city defense should not be relaxed before getting on his horse and heading to his palace... Although his cavalry rebelled, he did not dare to live in the Forbidden City now, or even
Even the prince's east palace must be carefully protected and he will not set foot there.
"Where's Ji Gang? Why don't you see his shadow?" At this time, Zhu Gaoxu naturally hoped that the dangerous guy would not leave his sight. So when he saw the representative of the Jin Yiwei who was waiting for him, it was neither Ji Gang nor Zhuang Jing, but Yuan Jiang.
The expression on His Highness the King of Han's face is not very pretty.
"Go back to Prince. Governor Ji has something going on at his foreign residence. He went over to take care of it." Yuan Jiang replied cautiously.
"What about Master Zhuang? Has he captured Wang Xian?" Zhu Gaoxu asked again.
"No..." Yuan Jiang said dejectedly: "Master Zhuang discovered that Wang Xian was hiding in Qingshou Temple and led people to surround it. Unexpectedly, when he went in to arrest people, he encountered a big explosion..."
"What? There was a big explosion in Qingshou Temple?" Zhu Gaoxu looked tense and asked, "What about Master Daoyan?"
"The explosion was caused by Monk Dao Yan..." Yuan Jiang whispered.
"Sky" Zhu Gaoxu's eyes went dark, and he sat down on the chair. It took him a while to recover, and he picked up Yuan Jiang and glared at him fiercely: "Who asked him to surround Qingshou Temple?"
"Master Zhuang said...he has already asked for permission..." Yuan Jiang explained hurriedly.
"He only said that Wang Xian was found, but he didn't say that Wang Xian was hiding in Qingshou Temple." Zhu Gaoxu said with a dark face: "If he told the truth, Gu would not let him mess around." He loosened his grip and threw Yuan Jiang away.
on the ground.
Yuan Jiang felt as if his neck had been burned with a hot iron. He rubbed it hard for a long time and still didn't regain consciousness, but he was very happy because at least he was still alive.
"Tell Ji Gang to come see me as soon as possible." Zhu Gaoxu spat fiercely: "How long has it been? He is still only caring about his personal affairs."
"Yes..." Yuan Jiang did not dare to tell the King of Han that his governor was in trouble, and he did not dare to come to see the King of Han...
What big thing happened to Ji Gang? His Baiyun Villa suffered a devastating attack!
Baiyun Villa was a manor given to Ji Gang by Zhu Di. At that time, the emperor asked him to choose one of the villages owned by Jianwen's old ministers. Ji Gang chose this village at once because the location here is so good. It is located near the capital but is surrounded by mountains.
Surrounded by it, it is very hidden, easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it a good place to build a secret base.
Over the next ten years or so, Governor Ji plundered and annexed several Zhuangzi, and finally turned most of Baiyun Township into his own territory. After that, he invested a lot of manpower and material resources... Of course, he used it all for private purposes.
Jin Yiwei's funds and manpower have created this underground kingdom that is small but has all the internal organs.
Because of Ji Gang's efforts to cover it up, no one from the emperor to the court officials knew anything about this place. When Wang Xian was still in Hangzhou, he learned some information about this place from Ji Song, and then he realized that Baiyun Villa turned out to be Ji Gang's secret.
Base. After that, they continued to send people for secret investigation, but encountered great resistance... Because several villages within a dozen miles outside Baiyun Valley were actually controlled by Ji Gang's servant, the Ding family general, and any outsiders who tried to approach would be blocked.
Come down, if I think you are interested in spying, I will even let you disappear from the world.
However, hard work pays off. When Wang Xian got a group of capable people such as Shi Wan, the situation was different. Although Ji Gang's defense was tight, it was not enough for those martial arts masters who came and went.
It’s hard to fly without wings. After more than half a year of very careful investigation, Wang Xian basically got the topographic map of Baiyun Valley. In addition, Chang Sen and others who had followed Jianwen secretly delivered information, and he even had a good grasp of the layout of Baiyun Villa.
Eight...
The more he learned about it, the more he was shocked. Wang Xian never expected that Ji Gang would actually run the Baiyun Villa into a rebel base camp - the entire Baiyun Villa plus the surrounding village had a total of 5,000 private soldiers that he secretly recruited.
There are also more than 20 workshops for making weapons, bows, arrows and armor; more than 10 large warehouses for storing grain. If they were all filled with grain, it would cost more than 8 million stones. There are also large pastures with more than 2,000 war horses.
If he spent so much money to create such a big mess, I wouldn't believe it if he wasn't planning to rebel.
That's why Wang Xiancai has always wanted to move to Baiyun Villa. As long as the bezoar and horse treasure in this village are brought to light, without another word, the emperor will cut Ji Gang into pieces. However, the prince has always refused to agree, and Wang Xian has been saying nothing...
…It’s not that he didn’t think about killing first and then reporting later, but after figuring out the strength of Baiyun Villa’s troops, Wang Xian weighed it up and had to admit that he couldn’t crack this hard nut with his own strength alone. He had to have the help of the government’s vanguard.
Only then
Although he also has the command of the avant-garde of the government army, if he mobilizes this prince's personal army without the prince's nod, it will definitely make the prince and grandson jealous. There are too many hidden dangers here that he cannot bear.
.So Wang Xian had no choice but to stand still...
But after all, he is not playing a stand-alone game. If you delay, the other party can start in advance - according to Wang Xian's prediction, the King of Han will launch a coup after the military parade... first obtain the allegiance of the army through the military parade, and then return to Beijing.
Later, he launched a murder that caused the sudden death of the prince, forcing Zhu Di to force his father who was far away in Beijing, so that Zhu Di had to give him the power to supervise the country and become the de facto prince, and then further control the army. When the emperor returned to Beijing, he could at least
Father and son are fighting against each other; if Zhu Di doesn't want father and son to turn against each other and trigger a civil war, he can only recognize his position as prince.
Changing things quietly is the option for a mature politician. However, he forgot that the King of Han was a soldier after all, and soldiers were more repulsive to conspiracies than he imagined.
The emperor tried so hard that when Wang Xian thought he should continue to test, he launched a brazen attack.
Wang Xian had calculated everything, but he was caught off guard, which directly led to the complete passiveness. It goes without saying that Wang Xian was annoyed in his heart. He escaped from Qingshou Temple, met with his men, and issued the order to attack Baiyun Villa.
The troops participating in the attack included more than 2,000 Beizhen Fusi agents in his hands, as well as one guard and horse each from Wang Ning and Zhang Wei who supported him.
