Faced with this situation, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression calmed down. He directly said to Zhu Di, who was standing a little further away: "King Yan, if something bad happens to me, you must assist Yun Wen to ascend the throne. This is my will."
Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang had already made plans to face the worst outcome.
When Zhu Di heard this, although he felt a little unwilling, he still nodded in response: "My son, I obey."
"None of you will survive."
Zhu Di gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger. He actually turned his head and pointed at Zhu Di.
This made Zhu Di's face change drastically, and he realized in his heart that the old man's words just now were clearly diverting trouble to the east.
Sure enough, when Zhu Xi was targeting Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around, picked up Zhu Yunwen and got behind the wall.
Zhu Di closed his eyes in disappointment, countless images flashed through his mind.
"If I had known this, I should have fought for it. I really want to know what it would be like to move the capital of the Ming Dynasty to Yanjing, with the emperor guarding the country? It sounds like a good idea."
Then he heard a 'click' sound.
Zhu Di fell back in response, and was then supported by King Tan and King Zhao behind him.
"Fourth brother, are you okay? Don't scare me." The two feudal princes cried.
But then they discovered that Zhu Di had no wounds at all.
At this time, Zhu Di also reacted. He stood up and touched his whole body, and said in surprise: "What's going on? Is this king not dead?"
"Probably not dead, otherwise we are all dead." King Tan said stupidly.
At this time, King Zhao on the side suddenly said: "I know, King Jin has no ammunition."
After he finished speaking, the others realized that no matter how powerful the firearm in King Jin's hand was, he was still a firearm after all.
As long as it is a firearm, it needs ammunition. He has just killed six people in a row, and it seems that he is indeed out of ammunition.
However, a firearm that can fire six rounds in a row and is so powerful has exceeded everyone's expectations.
But there were obviously more important things at the moment. The surrounding guards swarmed up and directly captured Zhu Xi, who was stunned on the spot.
Only then did Zhu Xi wake up. He had forgotten about the elixir.
After Zhu Yuanzhang settled Zhu Yunwen and heard the report, he quickly returned.
However, although the situation was under control, this incident directly killed four vassal kings.
Moreover, he was one of the first nine Sai kings to be enfeoffed. This was an unprecedented loss for the entire Ming Dynasty.
If Zhu Xi is included, there are five vassal kings.
At present, most of the princes who have not yet been entrusted are too young to handle political affairs. This matter is enough to give Zhu Yuanzhang a headache for a while.
But at the moment, he didn't care about that. Instead, he walked up to Zhu Xi and slapped him in the mouth bitterly.
His strength was so great that he almost beat Zhu Xi into a pig's head.
But even so, Zhu Xi was not convinced. He smiled miserably and said: "If I had known, I might as well have killed this old man first. What a miscalculation."
"Get out of here and put me on death row."
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he trembled all over and said.
Such a big change occurred, and the birthday banquet was also cancelled.
It's just that the disaster that happened in the Imperial Garden was taken into custody by Zhu Yuanzhang.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty didn't even know what happened, and as for ordinary people, they didn't get any news.
In the end, several cooks were beheaded at Caishikou in the name of enemy spies, and the death of the four feudal kings was reported to the outside world.
Even so, the death of four vassal kings at once, let alone the first time it happened in the Ming Dynasty, was unique in the entire history of China, comparable to the Jingkang scandal of the Song Dynasty.
Although some people also have suspicions, since there is no news, they can only guess secretly.
Naturally, the Jin Yiwei contributed to this. In addition to the princes and vassal kings, several eunuchs present were secretly taken away.
This time, because of Bailuting's great contribution, Zhu Yuanzhang personally ordered him to be responsible for detaining and interrogating Zhu Xi.
As for the previous conflict between Jin Yiwei and Dai Wang, although Jiang Yu reported it to Zhu Yuanzhang, how could Zhu Yuanzhang have the heart to care about it now? He simply sent him away.
This made Jiang Wei extremely depressed, but fortunately he no longer needed to worry.
But at the same time, he also felt puzzled as to why Bailuting was able to rescue the situation in such a "timely" manner, because he had not received any information related to Zhu Xi's coup at all.
In the prison inside the palace.
This is known as the strictest prison in the world. No matter what your status is outside, as long as you enter here, you will never leave intact.
Because there is a battalion of Royal Guards stationed nearby, it only takes half a stick of incense to surround the place.
At this time, Bailuting had just imprisoned Zhu Xi in the prison on the lowest floor, and then gave a few instructions to the jailer, and then ordered people to prepare torture instruments.
When the jailer left, the flickering lights on the wall reflected the mysterious smile on Bailuting's face.
He took out the secret message from his sleeve and lit it with the torch on the wall.
Why could he see through Bailuting's conspiracy and even appear in the Imperial Garden?
This is all because someone revealed information to him.
And that person was Zhu Gui who was far away in Datong Mansion.
The secret letter that Bailuting just burned was given to him by the other party's trustee.
"I didn't expect that the young prince from far away in Yunzhou could control everything in the Nanjing Palace. It's really scary."
Bailuting murmured to himself.
Previously at Jinyiwei's station, he was hesitating whether to tell the commander Jiang Wei the information.
Now it seems that he made the right bet. After this incident, he is even expected to become the new deputy commander.
And all this was given by the king.
It can be said that from this moment on, he has boarded the ship of the acting king, and in return, she will also create an 'accident' according to the requirements in the secret letter.
The protagonist this time is none other than Zhu Xi, who just launched a coup.
Normally, Bailuting would definitely avoid this kind of thing. If he had taken action against Dai Wang Zhu Gui before, it was because he knew that Dai Wang was not popular with the emperor. Most people would not feel anything wrong if he died.
relation.
But Zhu Xi is different.
But today, four vassal kings have died in one fell swoop. If there is another sinner like Zhu Xi, the emperor will not think anything of it, right?
But out of caution, Bailuting still called one of his flag officers.
So soon, bursts of screams like ghosts crying and wolves howling came from the prison.
Even the jailer felt his scalp numb.
Not long after, a shocking news came out.
The king of Jin Dynasty, Zhu Xi, died in a prison due to lynching.
