Zhu Gui didn't show any signs of Xu Yingxu's panic. Instead, he sat at the table and drank tea quietly.
It wasn't until half a stick of incense was filled that Xu Yingxu sat down opposite Zhu Gui with a complicated expression.
"My lord, is everything you said true? I still can't believe it all."
Xu Yingxu said in a panic.
"You don't have to believe it now, time will prove it all. I tell you all this not only out of trust in you, but also because I want you to be on my side."
Zhu Gui continued.
"On your side? What does the prince mean?"
Xu Yingxu was a little confused by the news he received in this moment, and he was not aware of Zhu Gui's thoughts.
"General Xu should be able to see that everything I have done in Yunzhou is for the future of the entire Ming Dynasty. As for who sits in the high hall, I don't care."
Zhu Gui said.
Xu Yingxu didn't speak. He didn't know whether Zhu Gui's words were true or false.
If someone really could predict the future and 'saw' the turmoil, wouldn't he really have other ideas? Not to mention that Zhu Gui himself was qualified. Since King Yan could conquer the world, he represented
Why can't the king?
"But now that someone wants to target me, I naturally cannot sit back and wait for death. Even if the emperor really wants to do this, I will not sit back and wait for death."
Zhu Gui dropped the tea cup heavily on the table, and the tea splashed all over the table, but neither of them was determined.
Xu Yingxu could persuade Zhu Gui not to be impulsive before, but after hearing Zhu Gui's words, he did not speak again this time, but his expression became more complicated, and he seemed to be weighing the pros and cons.
Zhu Gui did not urge him, but said: "I know that it was my father-in-law's idea that General Xu came to Yunzhou to repair the palace for me, but it was my intention to keep you here."
"My lord, what do you mean by this?" Xu Yingxu asked in surprise.
"This website can see your brother-sister affection for the princess. It is precisely because of this that I can tell the truth today. If General Xu still feels that I am not worthy of the Xu family's bet, I have nothing to say.
explain."
Zhu Gui smiled bitterly.
Xu Yingxu fell silent again.
"Brother, what are you still hesitating about? Zhu Gui said so."
Xu Miaoqing pushed the door in from the outside.
Zhu Gui was not surprised by this, but Xu Yingxu stood up immediately.
"Did you hear what the prince said just now?" Xu Yingxu asked hurriedly.
"I heard it all. Although it's shocking, I still believe him." Xu Miaoqing walked to Zhu Gui and said.
Xu Yingxu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, as if he wanted to understand something.
Yes, since Xu Miaoqing is the acting princess, she now has a relationship of honor and disgrace with Zhu Gui, and the relationship between the two has also gone from being stiff at the beginning to becoming hot now, and he, as the elder brother, also sees it.
"Well, for the sake of my sister and the prince's trust, I will do whatever you want."
Xu Yingxu finally expressed his stance.
Zhu Gui stood up and said: "With General Xu's support, I have no worries anymore, but there is nothing important at the moment. You just need to firmly control the garrison at the garrison."
In fact, the main reason why Zhu Gui attracted Xu Yingxu was because of this. Unlike other vassal kings, he still had no way to control the garrison of the garrison.
Once the emperor wants to deal with him, not only the Jinyi Guards, but also the garrison at the guard station will become his Wuzhishan.
Now with Xu Yingxu's support, at least he no longer has to worry about a fire in the backyard for a short time.
As for the next thing, if I really can’t stay in Yunzhou anymore, I’ll go to the grassland at the worst possible time.
This is what Zhu Gui thinks.
Even if he could not change the fate of Ming Dynasty, he did not want to become a mark in history.
…
Xu Yingxu went back soon. He had a lot to do, and he didn't want to do it quietly, so time was very tight.
In the palace of Prince Dai, Xu Miaoqing and Zhu Gui looked at each other in silence.
"Is there really no other way?" Xu Miaoqing said leisurely.
"If it's other matters, I can still mediate, but if the emperor wants to deal with me, there is really no other way." Zhu Gui said with a bitter smile.
"But why does the emperor do this? I can't understand." Xu Miaoqing said with a worried look.
Zhu Gui did not answer this time. After all, he had learned from the past and he did not dare to completely refer to history to decide his own destiny.
But after a while, when he saw Xu Miaoqing frowning, he pulled her to sit on his lap. Xu Miaoqing did not refuse this time.
"Don't worry too much. This is just the worst plan and preparation. Maybe I am just overthinking it, but all of this will be resolved before the emperor's birthday."
Xu Miaoqing nodded thoughtfully, then leaned against Zhu Gui.
…
Jinyiwei actually has branches in various states and counties, but it is the most powerful in Nanjing.
Half of the twenty-odd Jinyiwei who were damaged outside Datong Mansion this time were elite Jinyiwei from Shanxi.
This is a result they did not expect.
You must know that before this, the Jinyiwei rarely suffered losses, and no one captured by them dared to resist.
This is a major event that has never happened since the establishment of Jinyiwei. If the responsibility is held, this hundred households in the Shanxi branch may not be able to protect themselves.
But he was still confused now. Qianhu, who came from Nanjing, did not explain what law the acting king had committed. He only said that it was a sacred decree.
It would be okay if he caught Dai Wang this time, but now that something happened, he had to find a way to remedy the situation.
But the other party was a vassal king with a bodyguard, and he was not even strong enough to give people a job.
This Cui Baihu immediately summoned the remaining people in the distribution and discussed the matter with them.
People's reactions to this vary.
The Jinyiwei in these branches are not as prestigious as the Jinyiwei in the capital. They mostly run errands for the headquarters and search for information, and rarely handle cases privately.
But if something goes wrong, they can't run away, so some people suggested that they just break up the gang, because they can't afford to offend both parties.
But Cui Baihu still wanted to become a member of the Imperial Guard in the capital, so naturally he didn't agree.
So after appeasing everyone, he immediately formulated a plan to capture the 'anti-king'.
Although they were only local Jinyiwei, the name Jinyiwei was very useful throughout the Ming Dynasty.
So that day, only one civil servant in charge of accounting was left in Jinyiwei, and the others used various methods to sneak into Datong Mansion.
Soon after, an uninvited guest came to the Datong Prefecture's governor's house, and the governor Zhang Mao personally received the guest.
