Zhu Di's hesitation made the turnaround in this matter fleeting.
After Jiang Wei returned to the Jinyiwei headquarters, several people surrounded him and Qianhu.
The screams of prisoners continued to be heard in the dungeon, but these people not only did not find it noisy, but showed an expression of great enjoyment.
"Boss, does the Emperor summon you late at night for another important task? In my opinion, only Lan Yu has the most power at the moment. Does the Emperor want us to deal with him?"
The one who spoke was rubbing his hands together, looking eager to try.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wei asked him: "What are you talking about? Lan Yu is the Marquis of Yongchang. Who dares to touch him without the emperor's will? If you want to die, don't implicate me."
Having said this, he seemed to have thought of something. He immediately stood up and walked over to the boss who was about to get up. He grabbed his collar and said, "Tell me, was it you who sent the Jin Yiwei to capture the king?"
"Boss, it's not me. Even if you lend me some courage, I wouldn't dare to get a prince. Although the acting king is not favored by the emperor, he is still a prince with real power."
The manager explained quickly.
But how could Jiang Wei believe him? This guy even had ideas for the general. I'm afraid only he could do this.
"Pull him down and interrogate him."
Jiang Wei sat back in his chair and said.
Although the generals and Qianhu nearby were very surprised, they still carried out his order.
Just now he was the high-ranking commander in Jinyiwei, but he soon became a prisoner.
This made several people nearby feel on pins and needles, with a look of panic on their faces.
Jiang Wei pondered for a moment before saying: "A Jin Yiwei took action against King Dai, which made the emperor very angry. If we can't investigate who is responsible for this incident, both you and I will be killed."
His words really scared a few people around him.
The Jinyiwei only obey the emperor's orders. It can be said that in their eyes, the emperor's relatives are no different from ordinary people.
But now that the emperor has spoken, they can only restrain themselves.
Several generals and Qianhu kept making eye contact with each other, trying to figure out what was going on.
Who is so bold as to take action against a vassal king who holds real power?
At this time, a Qianhu general came to Jiang Wei and said: "Commander, will anyone pretend to be our Jinyiwei? After all, we Jinyiwei have the right to supervise all officials, and we have offended too many people over the years.
"
His words made Jiang Wei's eyes light up. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed possible, but the emperor only gave me ten days. I can only give you seven days, otherwise I will have to find someone."
A scapegoat.”
After Jiang Wei finished speaking, his eyes flashed across the faces of several people, and then he left.
The screams in the dungeon continued, but these bosses and Qianhu were not in the mood to appreciate it. After all, if this matter was not resolved, they would very likely become one of them.
…
With Xu Yingxu's support, Zhu Gui finally returned to the Prince Dai's Mansion in Datong Mansion safely.
The hurried journey and the final ambush by Jin Yiwei's men made him exhausted both mentally and physically.
I didn't feel it at the time, but now that I have some free time, I immediately feel a little dizzy.
So after saying a few words to Xu Yingxu and Butler Wang, he went to rest.
He slept for a day and a night, and did not wake up until noon the next day.
After a hasty meal, Zhu Gui immediately came to Xu Yingxu again to discuss the matter.
"There is no imperial edict yet. I'm afraid this time it really is the emperor's edict."
Zhu Gui said worriedly.
"I have already sent people to Nanjing. Let's see how the situation is first. Maybe the emperor doesn't know yet."
Xu Yingxu said with a complicated expression. It was obvious that even he himself did not believe his words of comfort to Zhu Gui.
After all, the Jinyiwei are directly ordered by the emperor, but no one can change them.
"General Xu, what do you think of this king?" Zhu Gui pondered for a moment and then suddenly said.
"My lord, what are you talking about? The last general is appointed here to guard Datong Mansion..."
As Xu Yingxu was talking, he suddenly felt something from Zhu Gui's look and tone.
"My lord, please don't be impulsive. This is probably just a misunderstanding. You must never do anything right with the court."
Xu Yingxu immediately advised.
Zhu Gui sighed and nodded: "Thank you, General Xu, for reminding me. I just thought about it for a moment."
"It's best not to think about it at all." Xu Yingxu interrupted.
Zhu Gui fell silent, and Xu Yingxu didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
After a while, Zhu Gui seemed to have made a decision. He looked at Xu Yingxu and said, "If I tell General Xu that I can predict what will happen in the future, will General Xu believe me?"
"Predicting what will happen in the future? What does the prince mean?" Xu Yingxu's eyes widened.
It was during this period of time that his contact with Zhu Gui made him feel that there were too many mysteries in the other person, otherwise he would have gotten up and left by now.
Zhu Gui sighed and said: "I will tell you one or two important things. Within four years, the prince will die of illness, and the prince's son Zhu Yunwen will become the emperor's grandson, and then become the next emperor."
When Xu Yingxu heard this, he immediately stood up and his face changed drastically.
In his opinion, what Zhu Gui just said was already 'rebellious'.
"Your Majesty, please pretend that you didn't hear anything about what you said just now. Please don't tell anyone about it again."
Zhu Gui seemed to have expected this.
He smiled bitterly and said: "General Xu, do you think this king said this on purpose? The prince's kindness to me cannot be expressed in just a few words. If possible, I am willing to exchange my life for his."
Zhu Gui naturally said this to let Xu Yingxu understand the relationship between him and the prince, and in his heart he was still asking the system not to believe his words.
Xu Yingxu's expression softened somewhat, but he still walked to the gate, glanced around, and then moved all his guards to a distance, and then he felt a little more at ease.
"Your Majesty, that is to say, what you just said was calculated through special methods? Is there no way to crack it?" Xu Yingxu asked excitedly.
Xu Yingxu obviously respected the prince very much, so he wanted to ask Zhu Gui if he could change what might happen in the future.
Zhu Gui sighed, then shook his head and said: "It cannot be changed, and before I have finished speaking, the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen will trigger a vassal war after he ascends the throne. At that time, King Yan Zhu Di will seize his throne."
"Wha, what?" When Xu Yingxu heard Zhu Gui's words, he was so shocked that he took several steps back and then bumped against the door.
