I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Zhu Youxiao still didn't quite believe it.

I just sent someone to talk to him yesterday, let Zhu Guobi come to talk to me today, it only took a day, why did I decide to rebel?

Just thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's throne suddenly fell and fell to the ground.

What's the situation?

A loud "bang bang" startled Zhu Youxiao, and he didn't care about anything else. He wanted to offer incense for Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma and left.

Unexpectedly, the throne of Empress Xiaocigao was exactly the same as that of Zhu Yuanzhang, and no one touched it, and she fell down without wind.

Thinking of the lottery in his hand, Zhu Youxiao always felt chills down his back, as if someone in the dark was warning him to leave immediately.

Before he had time to think about it, Zhu Youxiao made a quick decision, turned around and left.

As soon as the forefoot stepped out of the Xiaoling Palace, there was lightning and thunder in the sky above Zijin Mountain, and the clear sky just disappeared in an instant, replaced by heavy rain that came in an instant.

Such an abnormal weather made the horses brought by Zhu Youxiao and his party all frightened and kicked on the spot. Huang Degong waited for the guards to appease them for a long time before they became docile.

"Back to the barracks!"

Zhu Youxiao got out of Xiaoling Hall, got on his horse and galloped away without saying a word.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Youxiao curled up on a chair, hugged the Maoge University scholar in his arms, and looked at the top sign on the table in shock, wondering what he was thinking.

At the same time, a competitor quickly entered the account, cupped his fists and said:

"Return to Your Majesty, we found it."

"Not long after His Majesty left Xiaoling, Yu Ren, the Commander of the Xiaoling Guards, dispatched troops to surround the Xiaoling Palace. Ever since the Funing Hou Mansion received the imperial edict, the gates have been closed."

"But according to the villain's investigation, from last night to this morning, there have been people coming in and out through the back door of Funing Hou Mansion, and some are quietly carrying something."

"The transported things have been taken back to the barracks by the Bureau of Civil Affairs, please take a look at them, Your Majesty!"

"What Zheng Xiu, the supervisor of the palace, said is true..."

After the incident came out of the imperial tent, Zhu Youxiao got up and walked to the big box, murmured, and said to himself in disbelief:

"Zhu Guobi wants to raise troops to rebel..."

After sitting for a while, Zhu Youxiao called Wang Chaofu, and put on a gold-woven narrow-sleeved pleated robe and a bright yellow square collar double-breasted hood for himself.

While wearing it, Zhu Youxiao was also thinking about what to do next and where to start.

After serving, Wang Chaofu took a few steps back and stood in the imperial tent, quietly waiting for Emperor Tianqi's final decision.

It has to be said that Zhu Youxiao was very disappointed by Zhu Guobi's way of killing a fish and breaking a net.

If he really has murderous intentions towards him, he will never have any chance, just give an order, and the entire Funing Hou Mansion will be razed to the ground by the army of the Yongwei Battalion.

The reason why I called him here is to ask him why, as an honorable man in the imperial court, he has enjoyed glory for generations, but why did he join forces with local powerful and greedy officials to oppress the people and embezzle disaster relief funds.

This kind of thing is a warning to Zhu Youxiao.

You must know that Zhu Guobi, Marquis of Funing, was one of the more powerful among Wu Xun. In the later generations of Nanming, this fellow directly gathered the crowd to elect a new emperor.

Their military feats are different from ordinary civil servants. They really hold military power in their hands, and there are also a group of loyal generals, who are often in charge of several guards.

In addition to the Xiaoling Guard, there are also guards in Jiangning Town, Jianyang Mansion, and Xijiangkou around Nanjing under the jurisdiction of the Marquis of Funing.

The big box that was intercepted by the Jiaoshi Office was full of gold and silver treasures, as well as Zhu Guobi's contact letters to various guards and Wu Xun's family.

Obviously, Zhu Guobi felt that he had to deal with him, send these out to win people's hearts, purchase military supplies, and then rebel on a large scale, giving it a go.

It was only three days before and after this time, and it was also because he suddenly went to Xiaoling to pay homage to Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma that Zhu Guobi thought he had seized the opportunity and thought of taking action in advance, so he was exposed.

Next time, maybe not so lucky.

Zhu Youxiao put on his hat and helmet, and put on the military uniform he wore when he personally conquered the Southwest, then tightened his wrist guards, lowered his head and said in a muffled voice:

"Decree, Zhu Guobi gathered people to rebel and plot to kill the king. Chen Ce and Qi Jin were ordered to lead the Yongwei Battalion into Nanjing to punish Fu Ninghou's lineage."

Chapter 286 I gave you a chance

On the streets of Nanjing City, amidst the ordinary, there is an unusual atmosphere.

The patrols on the streets were no longer the officials of the government office, but each of them was a well-armed and sharp soldier. The five city soldiers Ma Siyamen had sent people to control several gates in the city early on.

Even on weekdays, there are few soldiers standing guard on the watchtower, but behind every crenel there is a soldier with an expressionless face.

The number of officers and soldiers patrolling the streets continued to increase, and the officers and soldiers of the two battalions in the north and the south all came out in full force, armed with weapons to set up defenses in the city.

Every once in a while, postmen carrying important documents set off from Nanjing City and rushed from the official road to Jiangning, Sanjiangkou and other places.

All of these are telling that something big is about to happen.

Strangely, apart from the mobilization of troops and martial law in the imperial city, there was no martial law in the outer city of Nanjing, and nothing particularly abnormal happened.

Even, Yingtian government office didn't even issue a notice.

Soon, all kinds of rumors spread like wildfire, and spread throughout the city within a few hours. Many rich mansions and government offices panicked and closed their doors to thank guests, and the people began to go home spontaneously.

All of a sudden, the number of pedestrians on the streets in Nanjing City, which was not under martial law, became even rarer. Most people hid in their homes, watching more and more officers and soldiers on the streets through cracks in doors and window eaves.

Many foreign and foreign travelers were afraid and chose to stay outside the city of Nanjing. They didn't even dare to go in without knowing what was going on.

Many people are very eager to know, what happened in Nanjing?

After such a soul-stirring morning, at three o'clock in the morning, a team of more than a dozen cavalry supervisor Si Tiqi galloped into the city from the barracks where Emperor Tianqi stayed outside the city.

A reassuring scene appeared.

The elite soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion, led by Qi Jin and Chen Ce, marched into the city from Sanshan Gate and Tongji Gate.

The garrison guarding Nanjing saw this army carrying the emperor's banner from a distance, and they were surprised, but they all accompanied them on both sides to maintain order.

Soon, the news came.

Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing, conspired to cause rebellion, and the Emperor Tianqi issued an order early this morning to kill the entire family of Marquis Funing, leaving no one behind.

The army of the Yongwei Battalion, full of murderous aura, came all the way until the gate of Funinghou's Mansion, without any hindrance, and did not cause the slightest disturbance among the local people in Nanjing.

In Funing Hou Mansion, Zhu Youxiao was dressed in armor, walked up the steps slowly, squinted at the person kneeling in the main hall, and said:

"I ordered you to come, but you didn't come, so I came."

Zhu Guobi was already sweating profusely, fearful in his heart, knelt down and saluted, in Zhu Youxiao's eyes, he didn't know whether it was really provocation or regret.

"Thanks to His Majesty's sympathy, the quasi-subject seeks medical treatment behind closed doors, the medicine and bait are organized, and we will see you again."

"Ah, it turns out that Funinghou is ill—"

Zhu Youxiao looked him up and down, guessed what was going on in his mind, sneered, and said straight to the point, "Didn't you be very energetic yesterday when you asked Yu Ren, the commander of the Xiaoling Guard, to dispatch troops to kill me?"

"After one night's work, did you get sick?"

"What's wrong, I'd like to send the imperial physician over to show Lord Hou a look."

Hearing this, Zhu Guobi's heart sank, he naturally knew that Emperor Tianqi already knew everything about his rebellion.

At this time, he raised his head to look again.

He found that Emperor Tianqi was standing in front of his eyes, dressed in a bright yellow military uniform, not to mention his handsome appearance and imposing appearance.

"Hateful, I hate that Yu Ren is incompetent, God's will has caused me to fail to kill you, a fool!"

Now that the matter was exposed, Zhu Guobi stopped acting, spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and struggled to move forward.

Zhu Youxiao saw Zhu Guobi jumping over the wall in a hurry, but he didn't care, he sneered disdainfully, stood there without moving.

Huang Degong, who was guarding Zhu Youxiao's side, had been watching Zhu Guobi's every move for a long time. Seeing this, he moved quickly and pressed him firmly under his body.

No matter how hard Zhu Guobi struggled, he was firmly held down by Huang Degong.

Speaking of what he saw and heard in Xiaoling yesterday, Huang Degong still felt a wave of fear. If he hadn't left in time, he might really have made the traitor in front of him succeed in killing the emperor.

"Zhu Guobi, I called you here, but I just wanted to chat with you..."

Zhu Youxiao took two steps forward and squatted in front of Zhu Guobi, with a look of pity on his face.

Zhu Guobi was being held down by Huang Degong. After hearing this, his face was full of shock. He didn't know whether he was regretting the treason or regretting not being able to kill the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao amplified his tone and said angrily:

"But you, with the heart of a villain, judged the belly of a gentleman and plotted to kill me!"

"Chengzu Shien, raised you and nurtured Ninghou's lineage for more than two hundred years, is it for today's conspiracy?!"

"If your seventh ancestor, Zhu Qianquan, knew that you were plotting rebellion and plotting to kill the king, he would be ashamed for giving birth to such a useless, rebellious thing like you!"

After scolding, Zhu Youxiao stood up, left Zhu Guobi with a back view, and said with his hands behind his back:

"Because of your foolish act of chaos, I have decreed to kill your entire clan of Fu Ninghou, hundreds of lives! It's all your fault!!"

After hearing these words, Zhu Guobi couldn't have the slightest chance anymore, and sat on the ground in a daze. Now he is really afraid.

Of course, he felt extremely regretful.

At the time of the premeditated rebellion, my whole body was full of excitement and excitement, and I didn't even think about what the consequences would be if I failed.

The lineage of Fu Ning Hou has been cut off for more than two hundred years since the ancestor Jing Nan!

Zhu Youxiao was condescending, looked at him quietly, and asked coldly:

"I will give you the last chance to fight for the lives of the clansmen, who else is the accomplice in the rebellion?"

Seeing that he was still silent, Zhu Youxiao's face darkened, he turned around and waved his hands, sighing: "I gave you a chance."

"Huang Degong, pass on the edict."

……

Xiaoling.

At this time yesterday, Yu Renzheng led [-] Xiaoling Guards on the way to Xiaoling Hall, everyone was very excited.

Because this time, he was going to kill the Emperor of Ming!

Strange to say, Zijin Mountain has been dry for a long time without any sweet dew, but at the very moment when Yu Ren dispatched troops to the Xiaoling Palace to surround and kill Emperor Tianqi, there was a sudden gust of wind and heavy rain.

After a while, the weather returned to normal, with clear skies.

Because of the strong wind and heavy rain at that time, all the horses of Yu Ren and the others did not listen to their commands, and ran around, and some of them kicked the soldiers off their horses directly.

When Yu Ren assembled his team and arrived at Xiaoling Hall, all he saw were the statues of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma placed in the hall as usual.

As for Zhu Youxiao's group of dozens of riders, they had already taken advantage of the chaos and fled back to the barracks.

Since then, Yu Ren has been plotting and fleeing with his cronies throughout the day.

Now that the emperor has returned to the barracks, he will sooner or later know about the rebellion he sent his troops to follow Zhu Guobi.

As for where to go, there are now two options.

One went to Fujian first, took a boat to Japan, and concealed his identity, while the other, with his cronies and information from the Ming army, crossed the sea from Penglai, Shandong to Liaodong, and joined Jurchen!

Of these two paths, Yu Ren chose the second one.

Li Yongfang, Fan Wencheng, many Han people received good treatment after surrendering to the Jurchens, and he was the commander who guarded Xiaoling for generations.

Yu Ren didn't want to go to Japan to live the life of an ordinary person. He wanted to go to the Jurchens and exchange the information he knew for a higher status.

He knows the distribution of the Ming army in the Jiangnan area, ordnance and equipment, and many important information about the Yongwei Battalion. He believes that after he passes there, he will definitely be able to achieve great success!

If you want to run, you need money.

This is Xiaoling Mausoleum in Zijin Mountain, where can I get the fastest money?Obviously, when the Xiaoling tombs of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying were excavated, there were many treasures buried there!

Yu Ren also heard about the anomaly in Nanjing City in the morning, and planned to dig up the underground palace of Xiaoling Mausoleum to take away the funerary objects. At night, he took a few cronies and ran to Houjin.

Chapter 287 Where Does Your Face Come From?

Everyone can't talk about digging the underground palace of Xiaoling Mausoleum. After all, no one knows whether the descendants of Huaixi nobles are still devoted to the old Zhu's family.

Yu Ren could only take a group of trusted cronies, carrying shovels and hoes, and started digging from the topmost fairy bridge.

Xianqiao, as the name suggests, after crossing this bridge, it is above the joint burial place of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying, a fairyland on earth.

Even the royal family who passed by, as well as the routine sacrifices of the Jingu Supervisor here in a normal year, dare not cross the fairy bridge without authorization, disturbing the purity of Emperor Taizu and Empress Gao.

After hearing about the situation in Nanjing today, Yu Ren naturally understood that after Emperor Tianqi fled back to the barracks, he would start to liquidate the rebels involved in the Xiaoling incident.
