Gu Shichun didn't know that the Highness Fang Zhengyue mentioned was the Seventh Prince, but only thought that he was the vassal king of the Gaotang Kingdom. After these people left, they came to Weng Dainian with pain and reported the situation to Weng Dainian.

Weng Dainian was naturally furious after hearing this: "Damn it, these people from the vassal states are becoming more and more lawless. It would be fine if the officials of the central court disappeared without reason. Now they even dare to kill the imperial army directly! If I don't settle the accounts with them, I will not be surnamed Weng!"

Weng Dainian said, "Come to find a deputy stretcher, carry Mr. Gu, and follow me to see the Seventh Prince!"

“Get out of here!”

"The Seventh Prince!"

Weng Dainian started shouting as soon as he broke into Zhu Ci's camp, but soon he found that there was no one here.

Weng Dainian was greatly surprised: "Hey, where is the person?"

But at this time, suddenly, many archers suddenly appeared outside the surrounding wall.

Weng Dainian, who has long been used to fighting hot weapons, did not expect to see so many archers today.

Weng Dainian was shocked.

At this time, before he could say anything, the archers immediately shot arrows and shot at him, Gu Shichun, and the two soldiers carrying Gu Shichun.

Weng Danian, Gu Shichun and others were shot like hedgehogs on the spot and fell to the ground, with their eyes wide open, with unwilling expressions in their eyes.

Because this era is already hot weapons combat, and they are now inside the army, so they have never thought about defending the damage of cold weapons such as bows and arrows.

But what they didn't expect was that Zhu Ci's camp really prepared a group of archers.

"We report to the court that Weng Dainian and the others were ambushed by local natives because of underestimating the enemy and died of several arrows. In this way, the forensic doctors in the court would not suspect us during the autopsy."

Standing in the first floor pavilion not far from Weng Dainian and others being shot at the arrow, Chen Wei was talking to Zhu Cihui.

Zhu Cihui glanced at Fang Zhengyue next to him and said, "I will remember to do it next time I want to do it cleanly, and don't let me wipe your butt! In addition, don't do it too much! Hundreds of the imperial court's soldiers are gone, and I can still cover it up in the name of war damage, but if thousands of imperial troops are gone, even if the court does not doubt anything, he will think that my highness cannot command it!"

"I will remember it! Your Highness doesn't know, mainly because it is a treasury, and you can see that it has a lot of gold. Your Highness, you have obtained this batch of gold, why worry about whether the big thing will be accomplished?"

Fang Zhengyue replied.

...

Xu Bingyi took Zhu Youban back to the Ming Middle Land in the name of asking for leave to return to Beijing in person and came to the Ming Dynasty capital.

In order to avoid mistakes, he went directly outside Damingyuan and asked to see Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao specially met Xu Bingyi.

After learning that Xu Bingyi brought Zhu Youguan and recounted Zhu Youguan's experience, Zhu Youxiao immediately summoned Zhu Youguan.

"His Majesty!"

As soon as Zhu Youguan saw Zhu Youxiao, tears couldn't help but shed tears, and he repeated his experience.

"Did the Han people participate? They also use the ordnance of the Imperial Army of the Ming Dynasty?"

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao asked Zhu Youban.

Zhu Youban handed over several shells held in a silk handkerchief: "This is the shell that I picked up at that time, these are the evidence!"

Zhu Youxiao asked the assistant minister Ma Xianglin to take it over.

After Ma Xianglin took it, he said in horror: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a shell produced by the General Administration of Ordnance Manufacturing!"

In fact, Zhu Youxiao had long known that an army was selling arms to the White Bandit Army, or other forces, such as local vassal states.

Because after Li Dingguo was responsible for extermination of the Baiyi Bandits, he also reported to him that he found that many Baiyi Bandits were equipped with high-end weapons made by the court, such as heavy firearms, which caused many casualties to be killed and killed during the bandit suppression process.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not show too much shock.

Moreover, the factory guards have indeed found out that many military sold weapons privately in recent years, and have been severely punished.

But Zhu Youxiao still doesn't know who he secretly colluded with the White Bandits Army and ambushed Zhu Youpu and others.

"Let the Jinyiwei go to Xiang to check! You must find out the result."

Zhu Youxiao ordered.

"yes!"

Ma Xianglin replied.

Then, Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Youguan again and asked, "Do you still remember the appearance of the Han people colluding with the White Bandits?"

Zhu Youguan replied: "Remember, even if he turned into ashes, I remember too!"

Zhu Youxiao said, "So many official schools in brocade clothes cannot die in vain. In this way, I issued an imperial edict to order you to serve as Zuo Zongzheng of the clan's mansion, and you will take the imperial army to inspect various vassal states, especially in the area where you had an accident before. Since the Han people can collude with the White Bandits, they must be from that area. Maybe they have a lot of power. Once you find this person, they will arrest him and then interrogate him, and their vassal lords will not stop you."

"I obey the order!"

Zhu Youban replied.

Then, Zhu Youxiao said: "The storm is coming and the wind is filling the building. So many reports come from all over the world. Although it seems calm, I have been dealing with political affairs for so many years and can still smell the smell of blood here. I can even feel that some people are afraid of becoming more powerful in the secret."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao stood up and said, "But no matter who it is, don't think of being fooled with me! Otherwise, he will only lose more! The imperial edict is given to officials of the vassal states in the world, to adhere to ethics and always reflect on themselves. Since you must be prevented from being framed by others, you must also be prevented from being blinded by greed."

...

"Zhu Youbun appeared, and he appeared as Zuo Zongzheng, the clan mansion!"

After seeing the latest palace newspaper from the court, Fan Guangwen hurriedly found Xu Zhijue.

Xu Zhijue said: "Can he recognize you?"

“Very likely.”

Fan Guangwen replied.

After hearing this, Xu Zhijue said, "What are you going to do? You can't even want to get rid of him."

"It's a pity that there is no chance to get rid of Zhu Youjian now. There are 500,000 troops here to conquer them, and it is Li Dingguo who commands them. This guy almost wiped out the White Bandits Army. Where can we have the chance?"

Fan Guangwen replied.

Xu Zhijue said: "Since you don't have a chance, you can only escape. But you are an official, and if you suddenly disappear, it will still easily attract the attention of the court."

"That's right! Now I can only hope that Zhu Youpu will not come here for now."

Fan Guangwen replied.

Xu Zhijue nodded: "Also, if Your Highness can ascend the throne earlier, you can escape this disaster."

Fan Guangwen replied: "What you are talking about! When it comes to Your Highness, there is another thing. Your Highness comes to news and let us find a way to get rid of Li Dingguo as soon as possible!"

"I have to get rid of him!"

Xu Zhijue showed a solemn look on his face and said, "This person is like a certain sea god needle is here, which makes us make a lot of money less and cannot cultivate His Highness's power!"

Fan Guangwen said: "I thought of a solution."

"What's the solution?"

Xu Zhijue asked hurriedly.

Fan Guangwen replied: "This matter can only be brought to King Gao Tang."

...

"King Gaotang wants to invite this general?"

Li Dingguo was studying the decree conveyed by Zhu Youxiao, that is, to maintain ethics and beware of others' frame-ups and his own degeneration. This made him, who was sensitive to the current situation, realize what the emperor suddenly issued this decree was implied.

But at this moment, he received the news that King Zhu Youji of Gaotang was invited to him, and asked in surprise.

"In order to establish good relations with the Imperial Army, it is common for the vassal states to invite the Imperial Army commander."

Li Dingguo's deputy Liu Wenxiu replied.

After hearing this, Li Dingguo glanced at Liu Wenxiu and replied, "Tell him that I don't have time and don't want to have any private contact with the kings of the vassal states, so I won't attend the banquet."

"I really won't go?"

Liu Wenxiu asked and said, "But we still need the support of these vassal states to suppress bandits in this area. It seems that it is not good to directly refute their face."

Li Dingguo suddenly said a little annoyed: "You know, I'm most annoying about these relationships! Suppressing bandits is to suppress bandits, why do you still do these things!"

"There is nothing to do about this. Not everyone is like you, General Li, who is full of thoughts of suppressing bandits."

Liu Wenxiu said, "Let's go, then I'll deal with it."

Li Dingguo nodded.

So, not long after, Li Dingguo came to the palace of King Gaotang.

"Prince, he is here."

As soon as Fan Guangwen saw Li Dingguo coming, he said to King Zhu Youji, Gaotang.

Zhu Youji laughed: "It seems that he is not very prepared, so he only brought his righteous brother Liu Wenxiu."

As he said that, Zhu Youji continued to put on a smile on his face, walked out, bowed to Li Dingguo, "General Li is here, Xiao Wang is in a hurry to welcome him! Please come in!"

"Your Highness, you are polite."

Li Dingguo replied.

On this side, Xu Zhijue asked Fan Guangwen in a low voice: "What are you planning to do? You won't ambush the sword and axe driver directly, that would be directly exposed. No one can guarantee whether there is any court eyeliner in the palace."
