Chapter 754: Arresting Zhu Zi (Part 2)

The Ming army camp outside Yueyang City was originally stationed in Yueyang. In addition to training, outsiders were strictly prohibited from entering the entire camp. However, the camp was particularly lively in the past two days, because the Hunan King Zhu Bai led his army into the military camp, which was said to be to quell the recent Guzhou barbarian rebellion.

Compared to Zhu Bo, Zhu Zi's actions were slower. After all, he was far away, so it would naturally be a few days later to receive the imperial edict, plus the preparation time, so it was not until half a month after Zhu Bo arrived in Yueyang that Zhu Zi led his troops here.

Zhu Zi is not unfamiliar with Yueyang. After all, this is his neighbor. When he was first named King of Tan, he often came to Yueyang for fun. At that time, Lao Zhu was more indulgent to his son and did not force the prince to leave his fiefdom.

But it didn't work later, especially after Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao passed away one after another, and after Zhu Yunyu ascended the throne, each prince could clearly feel that the court's control over him became stronger and stronger, so Zhu Zi hadn't been to Yueyang for many years.

When Zhu Zi led his troops to the camp outside Yueyang City, Zhu Bai also came out to greet him in person. When he saw Zhu Zi, he immediately stepped forward excitedly and said, "Brother, you are here, I'm just waiting for you!"

"Haha, Lao Eleven, you seem to be stronger than before, and you look more and more like your father!" Zhu Zi also laughed and walked forward, holding the other person's arms and said excitedly.

Zhu Zi was obviously false to Zhu Bo, but Zhu Bo didn't know it before, but now when he saw Zhu Zi's warm smile, he only felt disgusted. Although they were not born to the same mother, they were at least brothers, so Zhu Bo did not expect that Zhu Zi would plot against him in the past.

However, Zhu Bai now also had a false smile on his face and enthusiastically welcomed Zhu Zi into the camp. As for the troops brought by Zhu Zi, naturally, his subordinates arranged it.

Zhu Zi had no doubts at all. After all, they came to Yueyang to gather the two soldiers and horses together. Only by practicing simply could they send troops to quell the rebellion. Moreover, he never took Zhu Bo seriously, so he had no defense at all.

Zhu Bai took Zhu Zi to the camp, and a banquet was set up to welcome him. Everything seemed very normal. Zhu Bai also used the excuse that the two brothers had not seen each other for many years, so he did not let others accompany him. At the banquet, they were the two brothers and chatted while eating.

Zhu Zi was also unsuspecting and immediately sat opposite Zhu Bai. The two were not very different from each other and grew up together since childhood, so when they talked about some interesting things from childhood, they were very harmonious.

However, just as Zhu Zi was enjoying the welcoming banquet prepared by Zhu Bo for himself, his soldiers were also arranged to the military camp, and several major generals were also invited by Zhu Bo's subordinates to drink and greet him.

Zhu Zi had two commanders under his command, one was Bai and the other was Song, and there were several commanders, deputy commanders, etc. There were more than a dozen people in a row, all of whom were invited by the generals under Zhu Bai. There was no rule for a group of military generals, and they were so lively that they were eating and drinking.

However, just after the banquet was halfway through, a group of Jinyiwei suddenly saw a group of Jinyiwei rushed in, which scared Zhu Zi's generals. Although there were Jinyiwei in the army, the Jinyiwei who broke in in front of him were all fierce and obviously not for their favor.

"Who are you?" The short and strong commander Bai asked the first one who was Zhu Zi's confidant. He was the main force of the army he brought this time. Now that he suddenly broke in so many Jinyiwei, he instinctively felt something was wrong.

"Brother Bai, don't panic. Tao Qianhu came to do it publicly by His Majesty's order!" Before the Jinyiwei came in, he saw a commander under Zhu Bo's side speaking first. The commander's surname was Wang, and he was Zhu Bo's confidant.

Commander Bai felt a deep heart when he heard Commander Wang's words, especially when he saw that Zhu Bai's generals were all old gods, he obviously knew that this group of Jinyiwei was coming in, which made him feel even more bad.

The leader Tao Qianhu ignored the questioning of Commander Bai, but stepped to the banquet, and then took out an imperial edict and read it: "The emperor of Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: "The emperor of Tan, Zhu Zi, received great favors from the emperor, but did not want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and formed a clique in private for personal gain, with ill intentions..."

This imperial edict actually counts Zhu Zi's crimes and then announces that Zhu Zi will be escorted back to the capital city Hou Shen. As for Commander Bai, these people need to go to Beijing to investigate and remove the military power in their hands.

With the reading of the imperial edict, the white commander and others' faces became increasingly ugly. After all, those who could lead the troops with Zhu Zi must be his confidants. Now that Zhu Zi is being questioned, they will definitely not be able to escape.

In a desperate situation, people either escape or resist. Several people wanted to escape on the spot. At this time, the window was suddenly opened and bows and arrows came in. It was obvious that ambushings had been arranged outside, which made the other people who wanted to resist also give up.

"Brother Bai, I advise you to cooperate. I will not hide it from you. In order to lead you out, the rebellion of Guzhou barbarians is all fake news deliberately released by the Jinyiwei. We have already set up a net of heaven and earth, so even if you want to resist, you can't escape the fate of defeat." At this time, Commander Wang also smiled again and said.

"You have to think clearly that although the Tan King is a serious crime, you are just his subordinates and may not be a death sentence. On the contrary, if you dare to resist, it would be a serious crime to kill the nine clans!" Tao Qianhu also glanced at everyone with a cold face at this time and said.

Hearing the words of Commander Wang and Tao Qianhu, looking at the murderous ambush and Jinyiwei around, Commander Bai and others finally showed despair, and finally surrendered and handed over the military power. Tao Qianhu and Commander Wang immediately took over Zhu Zi's army with the imperial edict.

At the same time, Zhu Zi was still drinking and talking to Zhu Bai. Looking at Zhu Bai's enthusiastic brother, Zhu Zi felt a little guilty, but this guilt flashed by and was soon replaced by his secret complacent.

However, just when the two brothers were having a happy chat, they suddenly saw Tao Qianhu and a group of Jinyiwei rushed in, which made Zhu Zi frown. Before he could ask what the Jinyiwei were, Zhu Bai put down his wine glass and his expression became quite calm and asked: "How is the matter going?"

"The overall situation has been decided, and the army of Tan King has fallen into our control!" Tao Qianhu smiled slightly and saluted.

"What do you mean, what are you going to do?" Zhu Zi stood up suddenly and looked panicked on his face.
