Shaolin Bajue

Chapter 1404 Returning smoothly (2)

Fang Jianming looked back, just in time to see Tianjiuzi flipping a somersault in the air lightly, like a big horse monkey, and then screamed strangely, his body swayed a few times, and he didn't know where he went.Fang Jianming couldn't understand his behavior, so he had to smile wryly, and went back to the palace to deal with the rest of the matter.

The next thing was much easier. Those who were arrested were interrogated, and those who had committed serious crimes were executed immediately, and those who were minor were beaten with a hundred sticks and warned.As for those who knelt down and begged for mercy, Zhu Zhanqian asked Qian Bin and the others to make sure that they were honest after entering the palace, so they were not punished.

Zhu Zhanqian kept Xiaoniao's words in mind, and after seeing that the matter in the palace was settled, he asked the four officers to lead troops to Shuangshizhuang to clean up the scene. Of course, he also sent two guard leaders of the palace, Bai Meng and Song Yu. Go together to help deal with it.Finally, Zhu Zhanqian invited Fang Jianming to the living room, and told all about what happened to him back then.

It turned out that Shuangshizhuang had already appeared outside Xiangyang three years ago.At the beginning, Zhu Zhanqian only thought of him as a rich man from other places, and he didn't take it seriously. Who would have thought that after a month, Zhu Qiyu sent someone to send him a secret letter, asking him to pay close attention to the relationship between his parents. Only then did Zhu Zhanqian know that Shuangshizhuang was not an ordinary villa after seeing the movement of Shizhuang.

One day, Mei Shanxiong, the owner of Shuangshizhuang, sent an invitation to Zhu Zhanqian to visit the village.Zhu Zhanqian was about to go to explore the bottom of Shuangshizhuang, so he led a large number of guards, and even used officers and soldiers, so he should be invited to the meeting.

Unexpectedly, after arriving at Shuangshizhuang, Zhu Zhanqian finally lost his mind and fell into a coma. After waking up, he found that he had been reduced to a prisoner, and a person who looked exactly like himself was standing in the prison. Outside, he was looking at himself gloomyly.This man is the fake King of Xiangyang.The fake Xiangyang King probably thought that Zhu Zhanqian would never escape, so he told Zhu Zhanqian his identity, and said that he would take Zhu Zhanqian's place and lead the entire palace in the future.The reason why the false king of Xiangyang did not kill Zhu Zhanqian was because he wanted to keep him and let him suffer in the dungeon, and secondly, he wanted to announce to the world after the event was completed, and then sentenced Zhu Zhanqian to death.

Speaking of this fake King of Xiangyang, he is not from a wicked family, but he is the illegitimate son of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, a real member of the royal family.It is said that the founding emperor of the dynasty was Zhu Yuanzhang. Before Zhu Yuanzhang died, he appointed the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi to succeed the throne. When Zhu Yunqi was the emperor, he wanted to cut the power of the vassal king. Nanjing, took the throne from his nephew Zhu Yunqi.

After Zhu Di's death, his eldest son Zhu Gaochi inherited the throne. Unfortunately, Zhu Gaochi died suddenly within a year of his accession to the throne. It was Renzong.Once Zhu Gaochi died, the throne fell to his eldest son Zhu Zhanji, and Zhu Zhanji was the father of Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qiyu, and Zhu Qiyan.

Zhu Gaoxu, king of the Han Dynasty, was the second son of Zhu Di. In his early years, he was dissatisfied with his elder brother Zhu Gaochi many times. Now that Zhu Zhanji became emperor, Zhu Gaoxu became even more dissatisfied and despised this nephew, and his resentment grew day by day.Strange to say, Zhu Zhanji had long heard that this second uncle secretly recruited troops, contacted military officers everywhere, and raised troops to seize power at any time, but not only did he not send troops to suppress it, but he also rewarded Zhu Gaoxu with many treasures.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what was wrong, the rebellion was originally a secret matter, but he wanted to make a storm in the city.In the end, it was time to raise troops, but this also prompted Zhu Zhanji to make up his mind to personally lead the army to Shandong to fight against this arrogant and domineering second uncle.

That battle was ridiculous. When the army arrived outside Yongle City, Zhu Zhanji did not order to attack the city. He just asked the soldiers of Shenji Camp to bring out all kinds of firearms and bombard them for a while.The power of firearms is no small matter. Most of the rebels in the city were frightened. Zhu Zhanji asked people to shoot arrows into the city, but Zhu Gaoxu ignored them. Zhu Zhanji.Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu found out in time and killed a few leaders to quell the civil strife.

At night, something ridiculous happened. Zhu Gaoxu secretly sent someone outside the city, saying that he was willing to surrender.The generals who joined the army with Zhu Gaoxu learned about this, and they were very dissatisfied. In the end, Zhu Gaoxu ignored everyone's opposition, sneaked out from the back door, and surrendered Zhu Zhanji.

A group of ministers asked Zhu Gaoxu to be executed, but Zhu Zhanji disagreed, so he took Zhu Gaoxu back to the capital, built a "Xiaoyao Palace", tied Zhu Gaoxu's hands and feet with iron chains, and imprisoned him in it.A farce has finally come to an end, but this farce has a more ridiculous ending.One day, Zhu Zhanji thought of this second uncle, so he went to Xiaoyao Palace to visit. Maybe Zhu Gaoxu thought that he had made great contributions, and thought that he would be safe even if he rebelled. Yun Gong picked up the long log mopping the floor, almost tripped Zhu Zhanji, and laughed.

Zhu Zhanji was so angry that he ordered someone to bring a big bell and cover Zhu Gaoxu inside.Zhu Gaoxu thought that he was strong in martial arts, and wanted to raise the big bell to kill Zhu Zhanji. Zhu Zhanji asked someone to fetch firewood and burned Zhu Gaoxu alive in the big bell.Zhu Zhanji still didn't let go of his hatred, and executed the rest of Zhu Gaoxu's party who were locked in prison, as many as hundreds of people.Many of Zhu Gaoxu's sons were also beheaded, which is considered unprecedented.

The fake King of Xiangyang, whose full name is Zhu Zhanyi, is Zhu Gaoxu's most beloved son. He was only 20 years old at the time. When Zhu Gaoxu surrendered, he kept a hand and asked his three teachers, namely Yunei Sanxie, to escort him with a group of loyal people. The little prince fled.For so many years, they didn't know where to hide, and they didn't show up one by one until the establishment of Shuangshizhuang.

Coincidentally, Zhu Zhanyi and Zhu Zhanyi look very similar. After a little modification by a master of disguise, it is almost impossible to tell the truth from the fake.It is precisely because of this that why Zhu Zhanqian was replaced. If the two of them hadn't looked alike, Zhu Zhanqian and his gang would not have suddenly found Zhu Zhanqin's head.

After Zhu Gaoxu told what he knew, Fang Jianming saw that his face was full of exhaustion, so he asked him to go back to his room to rest. Before Zhu Gaoxu left, he asked Qian Bin and others to answer Fang Jianming's question well.

Fang Jianming waited for Zhu Zhan to leave, thought for a while, and asked, "Qian Huwei, Li Huwei, Tie Huwei, haven't you noticed anything in the past few years?"

Qian Bin, Li De, and Tie Fang looked ashamed, and Tie Bin said: "I am dissatisfied with the Marquis. Over the past few years, we have indeed seen some clues, but..." Sighed, and said: "The prince back then I went to Shuangshizhuang to explore the bottom, and the three of us were guarding me, but for some reason, for a while, the three of us seemed to be tapped into a sleeping hole. After waking up, we found that the prince was still there. We talked with Mei Shanxiong on the field. We saw that the prince was fine, so we didn’t take this matter to heart. After more than a month, one day, a young man came from outside the palace, claiming to be the adopted son of the prince. We were so puzzled , When did the prince accept a adopted son? But the prince came out to meet the young man, and the young man took out a pendant-like thing, the prince immediately recognized the other party, and said that the adopted son was adopted by him more than 20 years ago, We hadn't entered the mansion at that time, so we didn't know. We don't know what the young man's original name was. After he came, he called himself Zhu Qigang. Who would have thought that since Zhu Qigang arrived, the entire palace had changed, and he would appear from time to time? Some people from the martial arts came, and at night, there was either a gust of wind or endless singing and dancing. In the end, the prince made friends with Mei Shanxiong and called them brothers and sisters. We have followed the prince for more than ten years, and have received his great favor. We entrust him with our wealth and life, so we would rather doubt ourselves than the prince, even if the prince really wants...we will follow him."

Of course Fang Jianming understood their difficulties, and said: "It's really rare for you to be so loyal, but you just believed in the wrong person." He shouted loudly: "Brother Tie, call them in."

Iron King Kong's voice said outside the hall: "Yes."

After a while, those who surrendered tremblingly walked in, and before Fang Jianming could speak, they had already knelt on the ground.Fang Jianming frowned, and said: "To tell you the truth, I am Fang Jianming, the head of the Diancang Sect. You have probably heard of my reputation."

Those few people said: "Master Fang's martial arts are world-renowned, and his reputation as a chivalrous man has spread far and wide. We have already been heard like thunder."

Fang Jianming said: "Now that you know, get up quickly, I hate people who kneel at every turn."

When those people heard this, they quickly got up.

Fang Jianming glanced at several people, pointed to the oldest one and said, "What's your name?"

The man said: "I'm going to Honghai City."

Fang Jianming said: "I want to know what your ultimate goal is, can you answer me?"

From the very beginning, Hong Haicheng didn't intend to hide anything, so he hurriedly said: "Master Hui Fang, as far as I know, Mei Shanxiong and the others plan to support the fake King of Xiangyang as emperor." After a pause, he said: "Master Fang , please forgive me for asking you, have you been to Shuangshizhuang before?"

Fang Jianming said: "I have been there, what's the matter?"

After hearing this, Hong Haicheng finally felt relieved, and said, "Master Fang, you probably have seen those dead soldiers. Those dead soldiers are soldiers trained by Mei Shanxiong and his group. In their plan, they will use these dead soldiers to Spell out the tens of thousands of troops of the imperial court."
