These news are really shocking. Each one of them can be said to shatter the outlook of everyone present, and the impact is far-reaching.
Among the five people present, except Zhu Gui, who could remain calm, Xu Miaoqing pulled him and talked quietly about something from time to time, while the other three were lost in thought.
In fact, although Zhu Gui had anticipated the situation in Nanjing the moment he was 'robbed' by Zhu Xi, the pistol master, he did not expect that things would become so big.
"Zhu Xi is really brave. If he has enough bullets, he might be able to replicate Li Shimin's Xuanwumen coup."
This was Zhu Gui's inner thought at this time.
Moreover, five vassal kings who had existed for a long time in history were suddenly missing. The history of this world has been developing in an increasingly unpredictable direction.
Fortunately, Zhu Yunwen became the heir to the crown prince as Zhu Gui knew in history. As long as this premise exists, Zhu Gui is confident that the situation is still under his control.
As for other things, he needs to make up for it or even create it.
However, if Zhu Gui knew that the occurrence of the 'Yuyuan Garden Coup' would also implicate him, I wonder if he would be so confident, because this was information that was not mentioned in the secret letter.
After a while, the person who spoke at the venue turned out to be Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun, who had always had no sense of presence. He stood up and looked at Zhu Gui, who had the highest status in the room, and said: "Your Majesty, I want to go to Nanjing. Can you help me prepare.
?”
Zhu Gui looked at Xu Miaoyun who had a serious look on her face, knowing that she was worried about the safety of King Yan Zhu Di, so she nodded.
At this time Xu Miaoyun also stood up: "Sister, I want to go with you."
Zhu Gui was no longer calm now. He immediately said: "What are you going to do? Don't make trouble?"
Xu Miaoqing was not happy now: "What's wrong with me? I can protect my sister."
As if afraid that Zhu Gui would disagree, he took out the pistol from his arms and said, "I have this."
This sentence made Zhu Gui dumbfounded. It was impossible for him to leave Xu Miaoqing's safety unattended, both in public and private matters.
But he couldn't refute the other party's words for a while.
At this time, Liu Jing suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, Princess Yan, and Princess Dai, please wait a moment. There is one thing in this letter that I haven't yet figured out. What happened in the Imperial Garden at that time? How could Prince Jin kill the other four while surrounded by imperial guards?
Lord of the feudal lord? Is this what he uses?"
Liu Jing looked at the pistol in Xu Miaoqing's hand.
At this time, the expressions of the other four people suddenly became less calm.
Xu Yingxu immediately said: "Mr. Liu is right. Such a big thing has happened. The emperor must be very angry. He may be implicated in anything. Little sister, you must not go to Nanjing with this thing."
Xu Miaoqing originally wanted to refute, but when she saw the same look on Zhu Gui and Xu Miaoyun, she could only curl her lips, put the pistol back and said, "I know, but I don't trust my sister to go to Nanjing alone."
Zhu Gui sighed and said: "I know that now it seems that this is indeed my negligence. If my prediction is correct, within a few days, there will be an imperial edict calling me to Nanjing to investigate the crime. Can Princess Yan
How many more days can we wait?”
Zhu Gui's words shocked several other people present, except Liu Jing who seemed to have thought of this already.
Although I don’t know the details of the Imperial Garden Coup, since it was the pistol from Dai Wangfu that promoted this tragedy, I am afraid Zhu Gui will not be able to escape it no matter what.
In addition, the emperor's cup didn't want to see Zhu Gui. Even if he didn't express his anger, but found a scapegoat, it was very possible to investigate Zhu Gui.
When they thought of this, Xu Miaoqing and Xu Yingxu immediately had worried looks on their faces.
Xu Miaoqing immediately said: "The pistol was obviously snatched by Zhu Xi's people. As a sensible person like the Emperor, he will definitely investigate the matter clearly and will not unjustly accuse a good person."
Xu Yingxu also said: "I feel that this matter is indeed very possible. I will write a letter immediately when I go back and let my father think of a way. It is best to plead with the emperor."
Even Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun, who was still worried about King Yan, said: "I am willing to wait a few more days. I just hope that the king will be fine."
Zhu Gui smiled bitterly and said nothing. He only thought of this after Liu Jing reminded him just now, which made him feel uneasy.
The old man won't take him down easily, right? Then all the efforts he has made in Datong Mansion during this period will be in vain.
Although he did not believe that Zhu Yuanzhang would chop off his head in a fit of anger, but revoking his position as vassal king would completely disrupt Zhu Gui's plan.
Although he has made a lot of money in the past six months, and he believes that even if he does not hold the position of feudal king, he can completely control the Datong Chamber of Commerce and Datong Bank with the wealth he has accumulated.
But his status as a vassal king is the opportunity for him to legally possess a bodyguard army. Otherwise, even when the time comes for the Battle of Jingnan, he will not be able to seize the opportunity.
When I think that all my efforts may be in vain, the previous sense of accomplishment in setting up a trap suddenly disappears.
Liu Jing and others had no choice but to protect Zhu Gui.
But in the end it seemed to be of no use.
…
Inside the Imperial Palace of Nanjing City.
After resting for two days, Zhu Yuanzhang finally regained some of his energy, but his physical condition declined day by day.
Now he rarely goes to the East Palace to visit the prince every day, and can only ask the eunuch to report the situation there three times a day.
However, major events such as the death of the five vassal kings and the dismissal of the Jin Yiwei still shocked the government and the public.
If Zhu Yuanzhang's remaining power hadn't been there, things would have been in chaos long ago.
During this period, many ministers and generals who conquered the world with Zhu Yuanzhang frequently came to the palace to pay their respects to him, but they were all rejected.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang was ordering people to investigate and deal with the Imperial Garden coup.
The pistol used by Zhu Xi was quickly delivered to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang almost fainted again when he looked at the exquisite firearm that killed his four sons on the case in front of him.
"Is this thing related to King Dai?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a cold voice to Bailuting, who was the former Jinyi Guard Qianhu and also played an outstanding role in the Imperial Garden Coup.
Bailuting half-knelt on the ground with a serious face and lowered his head and said: "Exactly, according to Wei Chen's investigation, these firearms came from the palace of Prince Dai, but it seems that the top master under King Jin snatched them from Prince Dai."
Bailuting gave up his status as a royal guard and was originally a fourth-grade imperial deputy guard with a sword. Now he has been promoted to the third grade. It can be said that his official career is prosperous.
However, facing the domineering Zhu Yuanzhang, he still did not dare to hide anything, but secretly complained in his heart.
A sharp look flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, as if he thought of Zhu Gui's remarks before leaving for Yunzhou.
"Preach my will and summon the king to the capital to meet the saint."
