When Shuangxi personally rushed to Huguang with the imperial edict, and then sat in Wuchang Mansion to supervise the distribution of the compensation money, in a deep courtyard, several burly and powerful men holding sharp swords were suddenly dumbfounded.

"Brother, what should we do?"

The order only said that if the imperial court sent people to interrogate Zhu Bai, they would join forces with the officials in Prince Xiang's palace to kill Prince Xiang's family and pour the dirty water that forced Prince Xiang to death onto the imperial court. Then there would be powerful men from Hunan and Guangzhou who would stand up and take the blame.

, said that the counterfeiting of treasure banknotes was ordered by the imperial court, and the purpose was to use it to weaken the vassal state.

However, the imperial envoy did not enter Jingzhou at all. He announced the imperial edict to Si Yamen, the chief envoy of Huguang in Wuchang. The emperor directly took the crime of forging the treasure banknotes of the King of Hunan and said that all parties are guilty, and the crime is mine.

Even when the King of Heaven comes, I can't find anything wrong with him.

What's the point of killing Zhu Bai at this time?

The leader, a nine-foot tall man, had a tangled expression on his rough face, "Secret report, please submit it to the Emperor for instructions immediately. We will hold our troops on hold for the time being."

"yes."

Prince Xiang's Mansion.

Zhu Bai didn't even dare to go out of his mansion these days. His parents in Jingzhou Mansion almost died at the gate of the palace. Public resentment boiled over. It was useless for Zhu Bai to defend himself alone. All the officials in Jingzhou Mansion were scolded and couldn't stand up.

beginning.

"If Gu has done something illegal, he has his own sect's palace, and the three judges come to interrogate him. He is crying and crying. What does it look like?"

Zhu Bai roared in front of all his wives and concubines, "I'm not dead yet, so why do I need to look like a disaster is imminent? What's more, I'm not guilty in the first place, and the forgery of treasure banknotes is nothing. Your Majesty is wise and merciful, and you have to wait for me."

The clan members have always paid tribute to me, and I will definitely clear up this matter."

The concubines could not hear what was going on. They only felt that the people were boiling with resentment and were angry for the common people. Zhu Bai was already on the verge of death. When he thought that the family members of guilty officials were often sent into exile, those young women who were just sixteen or seventeen years old cried even more miserably.

Become panicked.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

A young boy rolled and crawled into the back house, "The imperial envoy has arrived at Wuchang Mansion, and an official from Wuchang Mansion has come to report the news."

Zhu Bai snorted coldly, "So what? I am a prince. Is it possible that I have to go to Wuchang alone?"

The boy looked happy, shook his head and said, "No, no, my lord, the imperial envoy has already announced the imperial edict in Wuchang."

Proclaiming a decree in Wuchang? What kind of operation is this?

Zhu Bai was stunned. Whether you said I was framed or really guilty, you should come to me for interrogation. I am still in Jingzhou. What kind of decree did you go to Wuchang to declare?

Zhu Bai suddenly turned pale and his strong body was shaky. "Is it possible that His Majesty Long Yan was so angry that he ordered him to kill himself to thank the world?"

It must be an imperial decree granting death. No wonder I dare not go to Jingzhou to read it. This is because I am afraid that I will jump over the wall and kill these imperial envoys and be buried with them.

When a group of concubines heard that the emperor had decreed death, they cried even harder with fright and sorrow, directly making the young boy with a happy face cry.

Zhu Bai pulled out the prince's sword tremblingly, looked up to the sky and shed tears, "You and I are all my concubines and dearest relatives. Now I have been framed by a villain, which has affected you and all of you. After I die, I am afraid that you and others will be exiled."

I was humiliated and ill-treated, but in order to protect my chastity, today, I have been wronged and died together with you."

The boy was so frightened that he left his body. He quickly stepped forward and hugged Zhu Bai, "My lord, it's wrong, it's wrong."

"It's true that I'm alone!" Zhu Bai broke away, "I won't be a cuckold even if I die alone!"

The boy was about to burst into tears. He hugged Zhu Bai's thigh and said, "The Emperor did not come to punish you with death, but with an imperial edict to absolve you of sin."

Zhu Bai was stunned, and then kicked the young man in the face, "You damn fart, forged treasures, killed officials, and was suspected of being alone, but the emperor pardoned me without even investigating?"

The young man kowtowed, "It's not that I won't investigate. The emperor's decree states that all the crimes are on me. I said that the prince is a clan relative and that the prince is illegal. His majesty usually neglects to discipline and reprimand him. He should be punished for all kinds of crimes."

Your Majesty, all people who have been deceived by counterfeit banknotes can bring the counterfeit banknotes to Wuchang Mansion, and the court will pay double compensation. As for how to deal with you, Your Majesty, there is not a word in the imperial edict."

Zhu Bai was dumbfounded, grabbed the young man's neck and lifted it up, put the sword on the young man's shoulder, and said viciously, "Is everything you said true?"

The boy nodded hurriedly, "Everything is true. The official from Wuchang Mansion who is delivering the good news is waiting in the lobby."

Zhu Bai threw down the boy and then the sword. His whole figure floated in the room like it was stepping on cotton for a long time. Then he knelt down with a plop and faced the east, kowtowing loudly, "Your Majesty's grace is mighty!"

Everyone in the room quickly learned to kneel down and kowtow, crying and chanting words of praise such as "long live my emperor."

After Zhu Bai collected himself, wiped away his tears, pretended to tidy up his appearance, and tried his best to look calm and calm, he went to the lobby to meet the Wuchang officials who had delivered the message. He hurriedly called two or three personal guards and drove

Hurry up and head straight to Wuchang.

He wants to cry in front of the imperial envoy!

At this time in Wuchang Mansion, Huguang Zuo Chief Envoy Shen Cheng was taking his share of the job, "Your Majesty means that the case of counterfeit banknotes must be investigated as soon as possible. No matter how cautious the thieves are about counterfeit banknotes, they will inevitably leave clues."

, this time His Majesty took the blame on behalf of the King of Xiang, and he did not hesitate to taint his face. As ministers, we must not slack off. If we find out, we will not only clear the name of the King of Xiang, but also wipe away the stain on His Majesty. This is a great achievement."

Shen Cheng took Shuang Xi's words seriously, and immediately he beat his chest loudly, "Please Eunuch Sun, please report back to your Majesty. I will do my best to catch the real culprit as soon as possible."

Shuangxi nodded, "After these days have been compensated, our family will return to Beijing to resume our duties. Mr. Shen will stay behind without having to see us off."

Zhu Bai's matter was finally settled, the King of Hunan's troops were safe and sound, and the public grievances in Huguang were settled as soon as possible. Zhu Yunwen, who was far away in Nanjing, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Shiqi, who solved the matter, received a heavy reward, and he and Xie Jin

At the same time, he received the title of associate bachelor of Hanlin Academy.

As a co-organizer, assisting in the office work of the Three Pavilions and the daily court meeting at Jinshen Hall, Yang Shiqi is also qualified to participate.

According to Zhu Yunwen's plan, Fang Xiaoru must be kicked out of the cabinet after two years of stabilization. At that time, the two co-organizers, Xie Jin and Yang Shiqi, will take their place. I almost forgot that Yang Shiqi is one of the three Yang Shiqi, and there are two others.

He is a wise prime minister of the Yongle Dynasty, but he is not in a hurry and cannot run away.

Zhu Yunwen's faction in Nanjing was prosperous and in a good situation, but in the city of Beijing opposite to the north and south, Zhu Di was lifeless.

It was obviously a chess move, but it was used by Zhu Yunwen to counterattack and win the gratitude and praise of the princes in the world. This was something Zhu Di never expected.

"A game-breaker is a genius."

Yao Guangxiao was still marveling, but Zhu Di's face was calm, as if an eminent monk had entered samadhi, "It's a good saying that all parties are guilty, but I am the one to blame. Those who lose alone are not unjust. The little emperor has stained his face with this move, and the princes in the world will be sincerely convinced from now on. It's worth it."

Ah, it's so worth it. The chess game has been decided and there is no way to change it. Mr. Yao should leave Shuntian as soon as possible and go on the run."

After speaking, Zhu Di carefully arranged his clothes, then touched his neck and murmured softly, "What a great head, who should behead it?"

"Is Your Highness just waiting to be killed?" Yao Guangxiao slapped the desk, "This is not the prince's style in life."

Zhu Di laughed at himself, "Sitting and waiting for death? Hahahahaha, have you ever sat and waited for death in your life? Gu has not been favored by his father since he was a child. In order to fight for a bright future, he rushed to the front line alone and obeyed the orders of the two generals Xu and Chang. With this life

, after decades of fighting in the north and south, my father and the emperor looked sideways and entrusted him with the important responsibilities of the nine sides!

In Gu's life, he will destroy Mongolia like chickens and dogs, ghosts like Lichi, Mahamu, and Arutai. Who wouldn't be frightened by Gu's news? In today's world, who can stand out against Gu in terms of military formations and strategies?"

Zhu Di became more and more excited as he spoke, but in the end he smiled miserably, "I have never been convinced by Gu, let alone afraid, but after all I am not the lonely Zhu Di that I was back then. If we fight a bloody battle with Mongolia, even if thousands of troops are destined to die,

I dare to kill the formation with just one sword, but I am afraid of the current situation of death, and I cannot go into this fatal situation."

Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao with his eyes, "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Gu Da dares to risk his life, but now there is a situation of ten deaths and no life. Gu cannot risk the lives of Gu's wife and children, and Gu can't risk more than ten years."

Here, follow the fate of Gu's brothers and sisters who fought in the desert. Because they are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty, Gu cannot let them bear the infamy of traitors and traitors after their death. The death is already done, so let Gu suffer by himself."

Yao Guangxiao refused to accept, "My lord, please don't lose heart. The worst is possible. We will lead our cronies into the desert. The sky is huge and the earth is huge. Are we afraid that there will be no place to live?"

Zhu Di immediately snorted coldly and said proudly, "You want Gu to learn from those Mongolians and live by water and grass? Live by herding horses and sheep?"

As he spoke, Zhu Di stood up and looked at Yao Guangxiao condescendingly, "I tell you, I would rather die in the hands of the little emperor than bear the reputation of being unfaithful and unfilial. I cannot go to the desert to let future generations,

Laughing at being alone and hanging on for dear life, turning into a barbarian.

Gu is the son of Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty! Even if Gu dies, he will die in the Han Dynasty! He will be buried on the land of his ancestors! Even if the little emperor throws Gu into the death bed, Gu's ashes will be scattered on this land.

Bless me with the great Ming Dynasty and eternal prosperity!"

Yao Guangxiao choked, and for the first time in his life, he knelt in front of Zhu Di, tapped his head on the ground, and said, "Please, Your Majesty, behead me."

"Since you don't want to leave, then you and I will wait for the imperial edict to grant death."

Zhu Di smiled calmly and walked out of the study with his head held high, "I heard that Gao Chi had a baby, and the little emperor named him Zhan Ji. I miss him so much, but I'm afraid I won't be able to see my good grandson. I will regret it for the rest of my life. This Gu
