The news Xu Miaoqing received was sent by Xu Guogong himself, and even he would not have guessed that the battle between Zhu Gui and Jin Yiwei was becoming increasingly fierce.
As for the imperial edict, don't even think about it. I'm afraid there won't be one until Jin Yiwei investigates the matter clearly.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang did not realize that Jin Yiwei would take follow-up actions.
In other words, due to the delay in news and the lack of an imperial edict, Datong Mansion may still be shrouded in the dark cloud of Jin Yiwei in a short period of time.
As for how Jin Yiwei will investigate internally and how long it will take, Zhu Gui has no expectations.
However, as long as it is known that the actions of Jin Yiwei were not ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang, this is already the most beneficial thing for Zhu Gui.
He no longer has to tie his hands and worry about what chain reactions it will cause.
Moreover, he has to take the initiative to fight for the destruction of Jinyiwei in his hands.
Of course, this "destruction" does not mean that he wants to destroy the Jinyiwei, but that he wants Zhu Yuanzhang to abolish the Jinyiwei organization like in history.
But this time was just the beginning, and it was far from the point where Zhu Yuanzhang lost trust in Jin Yiwei.
So Zhu Gui had to take action. He didn't want to become a stepping stone for the abolition of Jinyiwei.
Fortunately, Xu Yingxu acted very quickly, and on that day thousands of people who spread rumors about rebelling on behalf of the king were caught one after another.
But even if the prison in Datong Prefecture was under construction, it could not hold so many people, so Xu Yingxu had to imprison them all in a military camp inside the guardhouse.
This action also completely shocked those who still had a sense of luck. They originally had the idea that the law would not punish the public, and with the support of the Jin Yiwei, they dared to be so reckless.
Now even the garrison of the Datong Prefecture Guards sided with the king and began to arrest people on a large scale. Many people had already begun to run away overnight.
Subsequent interrogations have also begun to unfold.
The screams of ghosts crying and wolf howling are often heard around the guard station, which makes people feel frightened.
The last list was placed in front of Zhu Gui.
Zhang Mao explained: "Your Majesty, there are many local gentry families here. It seems that they have a deep misunderstanding of Your Majesty."
"Humph, there is no need to hide anything. I have no regrets about what I have done. If I choose again, I will still eliminate these cancers. Now that they are collaborating with the Jin Yiwei, then I can't be blamed. General Xu, this time
I need to trouble you."
Zhu Gui said seriously.
Xu Yingxu didn't say anything and led his men to arrest him again.
The movement this time was not small. Except for a few who were lucky enough to have escaped in advance, everyone else was taken to the Dai Wang Mansion.
After some interrogation, the Jin Yiwei who contacted them, as well as the contact method and location were also asked.
This time, Zhu Gui personally led a team to raid Jinyiwei's stronghold in Datong Mansion.
Although the dozen or so Jin Yiwei here had received the news a long time ago, due to Cui Baihu's arrest, they were in a situation without command. In addition, they did not believe that King Dai dared to touch them. After all, the Jin Yiwei represented the imperial power.
But the result was that they were very disappointed. Zhu Gui not only took action, but also used the Hongyi cannon.
After the house was destroyed by a single cannon, the guards and soldiers rushed in and escorted out the few guards who were lucky enough to survive.
Zhu Gui was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and just ordered them all to be escorted away.
These people cannot be killed yet, they are evidence to correct Jin Yiwei's crimes.
Then the Prince's Palace issued a notice explaining some of the things that happened during this period, and put all the blame on Jin Yiwei.
This shocked everyone in Datong Mansion.
In their minds, the Jin Yiwei represents the emperor. Now the king actually said that the Jin Yiwei had perverted the law for personal gain and falsely conveyed imperial edicts. Many people didn't know who to believe for a while.
Even Zhang Mao and Xu Yingxu felt that Zhu Gui's behavior was inappropriate.
Even they already knew the news from Nanjing.
"My lord, by doing this you are declaring war on the Jin Yiwei. They may take the opportunity to retaliate. Even if the emperor is suppressing you, they can use other means."
Xu Yingxu said seriously.
Zhu Gui snorted coldly and said, "I am afraid that they will not dare."
That's right, Zhu Gui wants to provoke Jin Yiwei, so that they can make bigger mistakes.
Only in this way can we prevent these guys from using more insidious means to plot against him secretly.
…
A general of Jin Yiwei named Bailu Ting came to Datong Mansion to investigate this 'misunderstanding' between Jin Yiwei and Dai Wang.
He himself didn't have much opinion on this matter. Even if the emperor was angry, it would not affect his career, and he had no intention of climbing up again.
What's more, the bad reputation of the acting king in Nanjing City was well known to him. If he was really killed by the Jin Yiwei, he might be happier.
For Bailuting, the death of one prince was completely worth the shock of executing hundreds of corrupt officials.
What's more, the emperor gave Jin Yiwei the right to investigate the matter, which was obviously partial to Jin Yiwei.
This has formed a consensus within Jinyiwei, and only Jiang Yu, who was under pressure, did not think so. After all, if there were no investigation results, he would probably become the scapegoat in the end.
So it took Bailuting four days to arrive at Datong Mansion, and there were only three days left before the mission deadline given to them by Jiang Wei.
Bailuting originally wanted to start with King Dai and investigate whether he had any powerful enemies, and then whether these enemies had any connection with the personnel within Jinyiwei.
But when he came to Datong Mansion and heard what King Dai had done in the past few days, his face suddenly turned ugly.
The entire Shanxi Jinyiwei team has been depleted of talent and there are not many left. The remaining ones either died inexplicably or have been captured in the Prince Dai's palace.
This is an unprecedented loss since the establishment of Jinyiwei. Isn't this a slap in the emperor's face?
Even if the Dai Wang is really framed, what you do is almost like rebellion.
Bailuting thinks so.
However, although he was angry, he was not stupid. He did not go directly to Prince Dai's Mansion to settle accounts with Zhu Gui. Instead, he went to the state capital outside Yunzhou, where he mobilized an army in the name of Jin Yiwei before rushing
Go to Datong Mansion.
When Zhu Gui received the news, he confirmed it several times.
A royal guard led an army to a feudal king's territory to investigate the matter?
All the unimaginable things in the world seem to come together.
However, this time he did not alarm Xu Yingxu, but only led the soldiers of Prince Dai's Palace to face the Ming army.
The two sides soon met at the border of Yunzhou.
Zhu Gui's soldiers carried a flag with the word "Dai", while the opposite side carried the flag of the Ming army.
