It was getting dark at this time, and Yunxi was hungry, so he decided to go to Kunning Palace for dinner. But at this moment, a eunuch ran into the palace and said to Yunxi: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Prince of Gaoyang County wants to see you. His Majesty!"
Afterwards, the eunuch hesitated for a moment and then said: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Gaoyang County looked extremely frightened and said that he had something important to tell His Majesty."
"Oh?" Yunxi said, "Then let him in." He turned around and told the people sent by Xiyao from Kunning Palace: "I will not go to Kunning Palace for dinner today."
Yunxi then ordered the young eunuch beside him to go to the imperial dining room to deliver the meal: "Prepare dinner for two people."
But at this moment, the Zhongshu Sheren who was on duty tonight sent Yunxi a memorial from Shandong. And it was sent as a rush from six hundred miles away.
Yunxi thought that he would not be able to meet Zhu Gaoxu immediately if it was something that required a lot of time to deal with, so he ordered Zhu Gaoxu to wait in the side hall for a while when he arrived, and then he opened the seal himself.
However, Yunxi, who opened the seal and saw the contents inside, couldn't help but smile and said to Wang Xi: "So what I thought was true. The seventh uncle did not rebel but was held hostage by the people below."
It turned out that He Yuan had left behind a back-up before he died that day. After He Yuan became the prefect of Jinan and moved into the Jinan government office, he accidentally discovered a secret room under the hall. Although the location was under the hall, the exit was backyard.
He Yuan didn't want to keep it public, so he planned to bury the secret room privately. But as soon as he started to do it, the three guards of King Qi rebelled, and after a while, Xie Cheng led people to break into Jinan City.
He Yuan remembered the secret room at this time, so he arranged for his most trusted servants to hide in the secret room, while he yelled and cursed in the hall to ask Zhu Shu to come. And if Zhu Shu came, He Yuan would not only scold Zhu Shu. After a long pause, he also wanted to find out some secrets of the rebels, so that his family could inform the imperial army after knowing it. Although He Yuan himself did not actually know what secrets were worth asking for.
However, the final result made He Yuan very satisfied. Although he was not able to scold anyone, he knew that Zhu Shu was kidnapped and rebelled, which could be regarded as a useful piece of information.
After reading the report, Yunxi immediately said to the Zhongshusheren: "Immediately inform the army that is heading north about this news, and at the same time ask them to formulate methods to persuade those who are kidnapped in Chengdu to surrender."
Zhongshu Sheren took the order and came down.
After waiting for the people in the middle school room to retreat, Yunxi was still happy for a while, and then announced that Zhu Gaoxu was here.
When Zhu Gaoxu walked into the Qianqing Palace, he saw Yunxi reading some book. On normal days, Zhu Gaoxu would have walked near Yunxi and then saluted, and Yunxi would have helped Zhu Gaoxu to prevent him from kneeling down.
But today, as soon as Zhu Gaoxu walked into the door of the hall, he knelt down and said: "I have met your Majesty, long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
Yunxi put down the book in his hand, stood up and said with a smile: "Why are you so respectful today? What mistake did you make? Please forgive me, brother?"
Yunxi just said it casually, but he didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to kneel on the ground and said: "Brother, please forgive me for my death penalty!"
Although Yunxi could tell from Zhu Gaoxu's abnormal movements when he came in that Zhu Gaoxu was not normal today and seemed to have something very important to say to him, Yunxi did not expect that the first sentence Zhu Gaoxu spoke was to ask him to pardon him. capital offense.
Yunxi said with a serious face: "What on earth did you do?" What on earth could make Zhu Gaoxu speak like this?
Zhu Gaoxu took out a letter from his arms and said to Yunxi: "Your Majesty, I have a letter from my father, saying yes, saying yes, let me assassinate your majesty!"
"What!" Yunxi said in disbelief. Because he was too surprised by the news, Yunxi's expression changed rapidly, as if he was changing his face. At the same time, when he saw the letter held up by Zhu Gaoxu, he subconsciously
He had to take a few steps forward to take the letter from Zhu Gaoxu.
But Yunxi reacted immediately and asked Wang Xi to get the letter from Zhu Gaoxu. The other eunuchs around Yunxi immediately became nervous after hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, and some people went out to call the guards in. Wang Xi himself was not afraid at all.
look.
When Wang Xi took the letter from Zhu Gaoxu's hand, Zhu Gaoxu did not move at all. Even after Wang Xi took the letter from his hand, he did not change his posture at all.
Yunxi took the letter from Wang Xi, opened it and read it word for word. There were not many words in the letter, so even if Yunxi read it word for word, he finished it quickly.
Yunhe said to Zhu Gaoxu in a deep voice: "Gaoxu, are you sure this is a letter written by your fourth uncle?"
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Brother Emperor, the handwriting on the letter is my father's handwriting. I know the man who sent the letter, Chen Yue. He is indeed one of my father's personal followers."
"Moreover, I also repeatedly asked the person who sent the letter, and I am sure that it was him who personally handed the letter to me."
But even if Zhu Gaoxu said this, Yunxi could not believe that Zhu Di would give such an order. Yes, Yunxi usually had no airs with these brothers. They often got together when there were no guards around, and Zhu Gaoxu's martial arts skills were also better than Yunxi's.
The 祥 is much higher, and these clan members will not be searched before getting close to Yun 祥, so if Zhu Gaoxu really wants to kill Yun 祥, there is actually a chance.
But the result of killing Yunxi will definitely not be good for Zhu Gaoxu himself. Now several important civil servants in Beijing are in the hands of Yunxi's cronies. As for the generals, among the three top noble families, the Chang family belongs to Yunxi.
The uncle's family will definitely support Yunxi and his descendants; the Li family is about the same distance from Zhu Di and Yunxi, and will probably not help each other; although the Xu family is close to Zhu Di in terms of kinship, the Xu family has been relatively marginalized recently.
Others, Zhang Wen's son and Geng Bingwen's son were both from Yunxi's vassal, and Cao Zhen's son married Yunxi's biological sister, and they would never go to Zhu Di. So after Yunxi died, Zhu Gaoxu would definitely
It is impossible to control the situation in the capital; whether Zhu Yunwen is promoted to the throne in the name of Guoyi Changjun or Zhu Wenyuan succeeds, the nobles in the capital will work hard to fight Zhu Di's rebels and quell the rebellion. The power in the capital is still far stronger than that in Peking
Yes, the chance of success of Zhu Di's rebellion is not high. If Zhu Di's rebellion fails, the best outcome would be for Zhu Gaoxu to be under house arrest until his death.
To put it bluntly, even if the capital was in chaos after Yunxi's death and Zhu Di succeeded in fighting from Peking to the capital to succeed him, Zhu Gaoxu himself would not have a good end.
