Zhu Yunxiu wanted Zhu Bo to help the court capture Zhu Zi, so of course it was impossible for him to order troops and kill him directly. If it was so simple and crude, it would be better for the court to send troops directly. Zhu Bo would not need to take action.

Li Jie and Zhu Yunqiu had already thought of a complete plan for arresting Zhu Zi. Zhu Bo was actually just one of the key figures in implementing this plan. The real mastermind behind the scenes was actually the Jinyiwei.

Just the day after Zhu Bai received the imperial edict, news came out of the southwest area that Guzhou Man rebelled again. It is said that the momentum was huge and several prefectures had been captured in a row. Then two imperial edicts were sent to Jingzhou and Changsha, requiring Zhu Bai and Zhu Zi to jointly send troops to fight against the rebellious Guzhou Man.

This is not the first time that the rebellion of Guzhou barbarians has been in chaos. As early as the Ming Dynasty was established, these barbarians rebelled from time to time. Later, Lao Zhu sent Zhu Bai and Zhu Zhen to guard the south, which has put a lot of rebellions down. Although the south has become calm in the past few years, rebellions by some barbarians still occasionally occur.

In the Changsha Tan Prince's Mansion, Zhu Zi sat in the hall that had just been rebuilt a few years ago. He set fire to himself, but was rescued by an imperial edict at the critical moment, but accidentally burned most of the palace. Later, he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to rebuild the palace. For example, this hall was only completed a few years ago.

Zhu Zi looked at the imperial edict in his hand, but his brows frowned slightly. A person next to him who looked like an aide could not help but ask: "Prince, what is written on His Majesty's imperial edict?"

"You can see it yourself!" Zhu Zi reached out and handed the imperial edict to the other party, saying that the aide was named Sun Shicheng, who was the person Zhu Zi trusted the most. Although he did not hold a specific responsibility in the royal palace, his power was stronger than the two chiefs of the royal palace.

Sun Shicheng immediately took the imperial edict and opened it. When he saw the content above, he frowned slightly. The court actually asked Zhu Zi to lead troops to quell the rebellion, and was with King Zhu Bo of Xiang. This was a bit too sudden.

"I have heard of Guzhou Man's rebellion recently. I didn't expect that the rebellion would fall on me!" Zhu Zi said reluctantly at this time.

Speaking of which, although Zhu Zi is the prince, he has never been famous among the princes. The most famous thing is that he almost burned himself up before. In addition, he deliberately kept a low profile, at most he had a reputation as a good writer, so things like quelling rebellion will not fall on him. This is the first time the court asked him to lead troops to quell the rebellion.

"Prince, although this matter is a bit sudden, it is understandable. In the past, the King of Chu and King Xiang went to quell the rebellion, but now that the King of Chu has gone to Jiaozhi, the court is worried about letting a vassal king lead the troops, so you are the only one who is the most suitable." Sun Shicheng also spoke again after reading the imperial edict.

In the past, when fighting rebellion, Zhu Zhen was usually led by King Chu of Chu, but before, Zhu Zhen went to Jiaozhi to expand the territory, leaving only one King of Xiang Zhu Bo. Although Zhu Bai is also known as good at fighting, the court has always been very cautious about the vassal kings, so the vassal kings send troops together and rarely let them send troops alone.

"I know what the court thinks, but the court wants me to go to Yueyang and join the Eleventh Army. I don't know when I will come back when I leave. I'm afraid I will delay our major affairs!" Zhu Zi said reluctantly again. There are many things he needs to take charge of, so he is unwilling to suppress the rebellion.

"The imperial edict has been issued. You can't resist the imperial edict, but you can't resist the imperial edict. After all, Your Majesty has been staring at the various vassal kings in the past few years. If you resist the imperial edict, you may be happier. In addition, I think this time to suppress the rebellion is also a good opportunity!" Sun Shicheng smiled proudly at the end.

"What opportunity?" Zhu Zi turned his head and looked at Sun Shicheng and asked.

"Your Majesty, why have you forgotten? In recent years, the court has always wanted to take back the military power from the vassal kings, and even the ammunition and medicines cannot be distributed in time, which has led to the lack of training for your soldiers. But now it is different. When fighting, you must ensure logistics, and the soldiers and generals under your army also need to be trained in actual combat. There are not many opportunities like this!"

Sun Shicheng paused and then said, "In addition, when fighting, the dispatch of materials is determined by you. How much materials is needed at that time is not your word? We can even use this to hide some of the materials, so that we don't have to worry about the lack of materials in the army in the future."

As the saying goes, one word woke up the dreamer, Sun Shicheng's words suddenly woke Zhu Zi up, so the more he heard his eyes brighter, and finally he slapped his hands and said, "Yes, why didn't I expect it!"

When Zhu Zi said this, he couldn't help looking at Sun Shicheng and immediately praised: "Sir, you are such a talent. Your Majesty has a son-in-law Li Jie. I think your talent is no worse than Li Jie at all!"

When Sun Shicheng heard that Zhu Zi compared Li Jie with him, he was also very happy. You should know that Li Jie's talent is well-known and is deeply trusted by His Majesty. Zhu Zi regards himself as his Li Jie, which is obviously an affirmation of his ability.

"Prince, it's not too late. King Xiang is closer to the capital. He must have received the imperial edict before you. Now he might have ordered all his troops to rush to Yueyang, so it's best for you to set off as soon as possible!" Sun Shicheng said again.

He mainly wanted Zhu Zi to go to Yueyang early so that he could take over the power of the army as soon as possible. After all, there was also Zhu Bai. If Zhu Bai was the main one in the army, it would be inconvenient for them to do any small moves.

"Don't worry, although Lao Eleven is a little clever, he has a bad temper and impulsive personality. In addition, I deliberately made friends with him before, so as long as I get to the army, he will definitely be the mainstay of me!" Zhu Zi said confidently, and he didn't take Zhu Bai seriously at all.

"By the way, as soon as I leave, you can watch more for me on De'an. Yang Shiqi is still useful now. His family must be in our hands!" Zhu Zi suddenly spoke and ordered.

When talking about De'an, Zhu Zi's face became gloomy again. He did not expect that such a thing would happen in Yang Shiqi's home. Now that the government has intervened, it is difficult for him to intervene, especially the person who was placed in the Yang family was seriously injured, which gave him some bad premonition.

"Don't worry, Prince, I will keep an eye on De'an at all times and will never make any mistakes!" Sun Shicheng immediately promised that although the matter on the Yang family was unexpected, it seemed to him was just an accident. I believe that it will be clear in no time and everything will return to normal by then.

Unfortunately, Zhu Zi and Sun Shicheng didn't know at all. Their people on the Yang family had been exposed for a long time, and this time the dispatch was also a big trap set by Zhu Yunxiu for them, just waiting for Zhu Zi to jump in.
