On the same day that Zhu Yunwen announced the launch of the Royal Central Bank in the court, Tie Xuan led 10,000 troops and approached Kaifeng City.
When King Zhou Zhu heard the news, he couldn't help but be secretly vigilant. He arranged for Zhu Youdun to secretly contact the three generals of the guards, and dispatched some guards to ambush inside and outside the King of Zhou's palace to prevent any unexpected events.
Yu Xin and Jing Qing returned from inspecting the Kaifeng Prefecture. They were sitting in the lobby of the Kaifeng Prefecture. They were charged with eight crimes including colluding with the White Lotus Sect, corruption, and colluding with the vassal king. They ordered the Kaifeng Prefecture Ren Yi to take off his black gauze hat, put him into a prison car, and be punished together. , as many as twenty people.
Kaifeng's officialdom almost collapsed, shocking both inside and outside Kaifeng.
Xue Xia hurriedly walked into the back hall and reported to Yu Xin: "General Tiexuan is only ten miles away from the outside of the city. Please let me know if you want to enter the city."
Yu Xin asked solemnly: "How many of the three guards have left the military camp?"
Xue Xia replied seriously: "Nearly two thousand people."
Yu Xin paced, worried: "Once these many people rebel, the people in the city will surely suffer. Tell Tie Xuan, stationed outside the city, not to act rashly."
"But sir, if Tie Xuan's army does not enter the city, once the King of Zhou raises troops to control the city gate, the people in the city will become a thing in a jar. Whether they live or die will all depend on the King of Zhou!"
Xue Xia quickly advised.
Yu Xin waved his hand and said confidently: "I have made arrangements. Is Guo Luan awake?"
Xue Xia looked a little ugly and sighed: "Guo Luan was defeated by Gu Sanshen. He wanted to die and hit his head against the tree with great force. Although he saved his life, he has not yet woken up."
"Maybe he doesn't want to wake up."
Yu Xin said seriously.
During the battle in the woods, Gu Sanshen was slightly wounded by two swords. Guo Luan was defeated by one move and lost his weapon. Facing Gu Sanshen's inquiry, Guo Luan revealed only one sentence, strictly speaking, only two words:
"Jinling!"
These two words troubled Gu Sanshen and Yu Xin.
Jinling is Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
If what Guo Luan said is true, then the power behind it lies in the capital!
But the capital is so big and there are so many powerful people, who could it be?
Yu Xin strictly ordered Guo Luan to be revived, but judging from the current situation, he might not be able to survive.
"Let's go to Prince Zhou's Mansion."
Yu Xin did not wait any longer and took Jing Qing, Gao Wei, Xue Xia and others to Prince Zhou's Mansion.
Zhu Tie brought Zhu Youdun, Zhu Youyi and others to meet him, and said to Yu Xin: "Yuge has been patrolling here in Kaifeng Mansion for many days without rest. Now he is returning to the capital, but I have never entertained him once. It is regrettable. ah."
Yu Xin said with a smile on his face: "Actually, the prince has nothing to regret. If he can't entertain Yu in Kaifeng, he can entertain him in the capital."
Zhu Tong was taken aback and asked with a cold face: "What does Yuge mean?"
Yu Xin said calmly: "What I said is what I meant. My lord, the emperor has a purpose."
Zhu Ju watched Yu Xin take out the imperial edict from his sleeve, and was so frightened that he had to stand up and salute.
Yu Xin looked at Zhu Ju, Zhu Youhuang and others coldly, unfolded the imperial edict, and said: "The emperor is destined to carry the emperor, and the edict says: Zhou Wang Zhu Ju colluded with local officials, intending to control Kaifeng Mansion. Now it has been verified to be true, and Yu Xin is specially ordered to bring The imperial edict asks the King of Zhou to go to the Zongren Mansion in the capital to wait for trial and to obey the decree of heaven. I admire this."
Zhu Ru gritted his teeth and instead of thanking him, he resisted and said: "This is not true, Yu Xin, how dare you falsely pass on the imperial edict! Come here!"
Wow.
After a loud noise, nearly a hundred sergeants inside and outside sealed the main hall with swords and guns in hand.
Xue Xia and other people from the security bureau drew out their knives and stood guard.
Jing Qing walked out directly and shouted to Zhu Zhu: "As a vassal king, you received the imperial edict and accepted it in gratitude. Now you don't even read it. Instead, you say that Yu Ge falsely conveyed the imperial edict and called the sergeants to block the main hall. Why, you Do you still want to rebel?"
Gao Wei looked at Jing Qing and couldn't help but secretly take a breath. This guy seemed ordinary on weekdays, but he didn't expect to be so bold and dare to scold the prince on such an occasion.
Jingqing was very courageous. After talking about King Zhou, he shouted to the sergeants around him: "Don't you know what the consequences of rebellion will be? Now retreat, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will avoid impeaching you. If you are still here, With a pestle, be careful to report to the imperial court and destroy all nine of your tribes!"
After hearing this, the sergeant looked hesitant.
Yu Xin walked out and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it's too late to stop now. If you resist and disobey the order, haha, this alone will be enough to land you in prison."
Zhu Zhu knew that the current situation was not good for him, but once he entered the capital, he could not help but make the decision himself. Rather than being treated as a prisoner in the capital, it is better to do the opposite!
As long as he controls the gates of Kaifeng Mansion and defeats Tie Xuan, he can gain a firm foothold.
Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen, if I want to blame you, it's your incompetence. Tiexuan is just a civil servant with no reputation, how can he command an army?
Zhu Rui sneered and ordered: "I am the son of Taizu, and today I will..."
"enough!"
Cang Lang, the sword came out and lay across Zhu Zhu's neck.
Zhu You was extremely surprised and looked at Zhu Youyi who was walking in front of him, holding a sharp sword in his hand. His face was pale and he gritted his teeth and said, "What are you doing!"
Zhu Youyi said impatiently: "Yuge, can I consider this as a meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion? All sergeants obey the order and put down their weapons. The court will never pursue the crime. If you persist in persisting, you will die!"
"Second brother, let go of father!"
Zhu Youdou shouted in disbelief.
"you shut up!"
Zhu Youyi shouted sharply.
Yu Xin looked at Zhu Youyi and frowned slightly. Zhu Youyi was quite dignified. Although he was a little irritable in his work, he was not irritable. This was inconsistent with the intelligence.
Glancing at Xue Xia, Xue Xia also expressed ignorance. She didn't know what kind of medicine Zhu Youhui had taken, but he didn't follow the script.
Yu Xin chuckled. Originally, he wanted to watch a good show, forcing King Zhou to a dead end and imprisoning him for treason. Now it seems that King Zhou's attempted rebellion can only be said to have failed...
In this case, let's end it.
Xue Xia walked to the door fearlessly, and the blocking soldiers stepped back one after another. Xue Xia only raised his hand, clenched his fist, and returned to the hall.
On the top of the newly built loft in the distance, Xiong Wucheng was holding a monocular telescope. He saw Xue Xia's gesture and said to the people next to him: "Send the signal and move the army!"
The signal flew into the sky, and thousands of people turned into an army of common people. In the blink of an eye, they swarmed the joint and attacked the Zhou Palace.
Yu Xin did not mobilize Tie Xuan's manpower, but had already passed through the Henan Dusi Yamen, mobilized the local guard sergeants, and sneaked into Kaifeng City. Such a sudden attack on an army made it impossible for the guards of the Zhou Palace to resist.
In addition, without the order of King Zhou, no one dared to take action, and everyone became prisoners in a daze.
"Xu Wuyue, the commander of the Henan Capital Division, has met Yu Ge."
A rough and arrogant sergeant walked into the hall and saluted.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Yu Xin ordered: "Invite the King of Zhou and his family to the capital, seize all property of the King of Zhou's Mansion, and dismiss all officials and servants of the King of Zhou's Mansion."
"Yuge, why do you want to seal off Prince Zhou's Mansion?"
Zhu Youxuan shouted in surprise.
Yu Xin looked at Zhu Youyi with disdain and said: "The prince has righteousness to destroy his relatives, and he has sent a secret report to expose the king of Zhou's lawlessness. The court will naturally give him a reward. Since it is a reward, how can he receive it in the palace of the king of Zhou? Since he went to the capital, Meet the emperor."
Zhu Youyou hated Yu Xin to death because this guy exposed his old background.
Sure enough, when Zhu Rui heard that it was his own son who betrayed him, he couldn't help but roared: "You bastard! You evil beast!"
When Yu Xin walked out of the door, there were already sounds of scuffles inside, which made Xue Xia feel a bit toothache. She whispered to Yu Xin: "Mr. Ge, if you don't care about this, if something unexpected happens..."
"This is their family matter."
Yu Xin said easily.
Yu Xin already knew about Zhu Youyou's secret report on King Zhou's nine sins. In addition to being surprised by King Zhou's numerous crimes, he was also distressed that King Zhou had such a good son. He was really cheating on his father.
But looking at the overall situation, without this stupid son, the court would have to spend a lot of time to kill his father.
"You were the one who forced Mo'er away, right? If it weren't for you, how could she disappear? How could she leave me without saying goodbye?!"
Zhu Youyou shouted at the top of his lungs, full of pain and anger.
Yu Xin turned around, looked at the noisy family, and asked Xue Xia, "Who is Mo'er?"
"A woman from a red mansion was introduced as a confidante by Zhu Youyi."
Xue Xia replied.
"She disappeared?"
Yu Xin frowned.
Xue Xia looked at Yu Xin in confusion and replied: "The Security Bureau has not paid attention to this information. Do we need to investigate?"
Yu Xin thought of Zhu Youyi's impatience and irritability, ordered the three of them to pull away, and asked Zhu Youyi: "When did the Mo'er you mentioned leave?"
"It was the day before yesterday. I must find her back!"
Zhu Youyi shouted infatuatedly.
Yu Xin looked at Zhu Ju and asked, "But you ordered people to drive him away?"
Zhu Xi snorted coldly: "So what?"
Yu Xin squinted his eyes. Zhu Rui was obviously lying. When he thought of something, Yu Xin grabbed Zhu Youyao and asked, "Is the reason why you went to the secret memorial also related to this girl Mo'er?"
"ah?"
Zhu Youyou looked at Yu Xin in surprise.
Yu Xin, who has been in official circles for a long time, could not understand Zhu Youhuo's eyes, so he quickly shouted to Xue Xia: "Go, send someone to find that Mo'er immediately, she is most likely a key figure!"
Xue Xia's expression changed, and he immediately led people from the security bureau to surround the small red building. After searching several times, he still couldn't find any clues, so he had to take the bustard to Prince Zhou's Mansion and hand it over to Yu Xin for questioning.
The old bustard had seen such a scene, and quickly explained: "The girls Mo'er and Guangxiu are not girls from Xiaohonglou, nor are they selling themselves here, they are just staying in Xiaohonglou. As for where they come from and where they are going, I really don’t know.”
"They left without saying a word?"
Yu Xin asked sharply.
The old bustard quickly begged for mercy, thought for a moment, and said: "They want to leave, I have stayed, but I can't keep them. As for the words, they just said goodbye briefly, that's all, and didn't leave a word to the prince. How could this happen? Leave me a message?”
"Did they go in a carriage? Which door did they go through? Which direction?"
Yu Xin asked.
The old bustard didn't know anything about it.
Xue Xia looked at Yu Xin and whispered: "Yuge, they are just two brothel girls. It shouldn't involve too much, right?"
Yu Xin sat down, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Those who leave without saying goodbye are either hiding secrets or carrying difficulties. Lead the madam to draw a portrait and send people to check along the way. They must find these two people." "
