Chapter 152
There is no problem with the supplies Xia Yuanji approved for the Japanese expedition troops, but there are also problems.

The okay part is that this supply list is real, because it was Liu Sheng from the Shenji Camp who applied for it, but the problem is that all Liu Sheng and Xia Yuanji want is gunpowder.

The others were "gifts" from Xia Yuanji.

Originally it was nothing, so if you give more, you will give more. As long as no one expresses an opinion, there is no problem.

But now there's a problem, the supply hasn't arrived.

To put it bluntly, if the food and grass are not here, then they are not there. You can look for them slowly, and you have plenty of time, but the problem is that there is gunpowder on this list.

"Is there a detailed process?" Liu Sheng's expression became serious.

"Yes." Mu Xin nodded.

"This batch of supplies departed from Yingtian Mansion. Because you, Marquis Anyuan, were besieging Tsushima Island before, all the supplies had to be placed in North Korea first and transported by ship."

"According to the seals from various ministries, this batch of supplies has successfully arrived in North Korea."

"You mean...North Korea?" Liu Sheng's eyes widened.

"Do they have the guts?"

"I don't know." Mu Xin shook her head.

"I have been in Yunnan before, and I don't know much about North Korea. I only know what everyone knows on the surface. You, Marquis Anyuan, actually know this issue better than I do."

"Well..." Liu Sheng nodded slightly.

"Let's do this. Prince Consort Mu, please send a message to Yingtian first to see what the situation is. As for me..."

"Now that Tsushima Island is under our control, people from North Korea will come to take over soon. At that time, I will go to Japan to meet His Highness the Crown Prince. Then let His Highness the Crown Prince make the decision, right?"

"Well..." Mu Xin nodded, but her eyes narrowed.

"I will return to North Korea with the ship immediately and send a letter to Yingtian as quickly as possible."

"In addition, please bring this person with you, Marquis Anyuan. He is the bodyguard of His Highness the King of Han. There are some matters concerning Jiaozhi that His Highness the Crown Prince must make up his mind about."

"No problem, I will escort him safely to His Highness the Crown Prince." Liu Sheng nodded in agreement without doubting his presence.

"Then I'll ask Marquis Anyuan to take care of him." Mu Xin turned around and pulled the "Guard of the King of Han" over and gave a serious instruction.

"It's important. Put things first. Remember not to be rash. Listen to Marquis Anyuan in everything."

"Yes!" The guard bowed.

However, the moment he raised his hand, something small flashed past.

-

Yingtianfu, the imperial palace.

The Jin Yiwei of the early Ming Dynasty was really not comparable to the Jin Yiwei of the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The Jin Yiwei of this period was really the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand, the kind that could cut wherever he pointed.

The fact that Xia Yuanji sent extra supplies to the front line could not be hidden from Zhu Di, even if Zhu Di now trusted Xia Yuanji immensely.

A king is most suspicious.

Loyalty now does not mean loyalty forever, and outstanding ability now does not mean that it can be maintained forever. This is the original intention of the establishment of Jinyiwei.

"You are so courageous..." Zhu Di threw the secret fold in his hand, and it landed at Zhu Gaosui's feet.

"Dad, my son is not..."

"I'm not your father!" Zhu Di shouted angrily suddenly, which startled Zhu Gaosui.

"Dad! Dad! Dad!" Zhu Gaochi stood up quickly.

"Calm down your anger! Calm down your anger..."

"Third brother, he was just confused for a moment, and the main fault in this matter is not his..."

"Get out of here!" Zhu Di threw another booklet out, scaring Zhu Gaochi into quickly running away.

However, he was too big to escape.

Zhu Gaochi rubbed his arm that was hit. Although it hurt, he didn't dare to make a sound or even change his expression.

"Don't you know that Li Zhen has evil intentions? Do you still dare to cooperate with him? Who gave you the courage!?"

Although Zhu Gaochi did not dodge Zhu Di's attack, he exposed Zhu Gaosui behind him. Zhu Di couldn't suppress the anger in his heart when he saw Zhu Gaosui cowering.

"Do you know why Li Fangyuan abolished the eldest son and established a young one, and appointed Li Chen as the crown prince? His father would not dare to trust someone gullibly, but how dare you?"

"Father, I..."

Zhu Gaosui felt bitter, but had nothing to say.

The supply matter was indeed his fault. He contacted the current Prince of North Korea, Li Zhen, and asked him to withhold the extra supplies.

Why is it said that it is the current prince, because the king of North Korea, Li Fangyuan, is preparing to abolish Li Zhen, and transfer his third brother Li Zhen to be the prince.

Then why is it said to be the extra supply?Because Zhu Gaosui originally wanted to withhold the supplies sent by Xia Yuanji.

Deduct the gunpowder from Shenji Camp?He doesn't have the guts yet.

"Get out!" Zhu Di became angry when he saw his son.

"Go back, pack your things, and go away when you're ready!"

……

Zhu Gaochi looked at his third brother pitifully, but did not dare to say a word.

Zhu Gaochi knew very well that the old man's words were angry, but they were not entirely angry.

After the King of Han became a vassal, the old man really wanted Zhu Gaosui to take over the position of his second brother and carry the banner for the generals, so as not to be overwhelmed by the civil servants.

However, it can only be said that Zhu Gaosui did not live up to expectations.

First, he did something like that when Zhu Zhanhe went to carry out the work of raising cattle for farming. Then he led his army to conquer the grassland. As a result, he was left hanging for half a year without any results. Now he did something like this again...

Not to mention that he has no outstanding achievements, if he still does such stupid things, let alone carrying the banner of a military commander, he may not be able to protect himself as time goes by.

Letting him go to the feudal clan and stay away from this power center is actually protecting him.

However, Zhu Gaochi knew very well that this was not the most important reason. The old man made this decision because he had found a new candidate to carry the flag for the general.

Zhu Zhanhe.

That's right, it's Zhu Zhanhe.

Although he is no longer in Yingtian Mansion, Zhu Zhanhe's figure still lingers in everyone's minds.

Zhu Zhanhe solved Annan, who had been beaten by the imperial court for several years and failed to solve it, in less than a year after receiving it, not to mention, he also solved the problem of cochin governance by the way.

Zhu Di suddenly found that Zhu Zhanhe, who was not in Yingtian, seemed to be more useful.

In the past, when Zhu Zhanhe was in Yingtian, Zhu Di had to work hard to achieve a balance between civil and military affairs, and he also worried that the Han king's lineage would be more powerful than the master, which would eventually lead to unnecessary chaos.

Now, the King of Han has established a vassal state, and it can be said that he gave up his right to self-governance and let the court supervise his every move.

It seems to be autonomous, but in fact it is still under the control of the court.

Such a person who would not have a great influence but could also boost the confidence of generals was much better than Zhu Gaosui, a son who failed in success but failed in failure.

Hearing that the old man had decided his fate, Zhu Gaosui was stunned for a moment, but he realized it after a while and walked away directly.

Even conventional etiquette was thrown away.

In his opinion, he just wanted to withhold it for a while, not to take away this part of the supplies. He was just angry that one of Zhu Zhanhe's children was more famous than him, so he wanted to set a trap and let Zhu Zhanhe eat it. Nod bitterly.

The only downside to the whole thing was that he picked the wrong collaborator.

But the old man is so desperate?
