I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 216 Speech Temptation, Secret Confrontation!

The night is getting darker.

The night wind gets colder.

The bonfire was burning hotter and hotter.

Under the firelight, the faces of several people were looming.

His face was full of fire, and his eyes were shining.

The sound of the wind and the voice echoed each other.

Like a knife like a song.

There seemed to be murderous aura echoing in the calm words.

It seems that there is an invisible net, rushing down towards Yangshan.

But, who is the fisherman?

Everyone present is waiting.

As Lao Zhu's voice fell, Zhu Yunzhen, who had been sitting upright and motionless, finally stood up.

But instead of answering Lao Zhu's question head-on, he turned to Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi.

The immature throat is clear and open.

"Thanks to the concern of my two brothers, my brother has a few things that he doesn't know about and I would like to ask him a few questions."

……

……

……

Inside Jinling City.

Xu Miaojin did not immediately go to Song Guogong Feng Sheng's house, but went back to Xu's house first to find her brother Xu Huizu.

He inherited the title of Wei Guogong, and he is also the current prince and junior teacher.

After briefly explaining the situation, she asked Xu Huizu to go to the Military Affairs Office immediately.

"Brother, after you go to the Military Affairs Office, you and other military ministers immediately issue an order that no troops stationed in the city are allowed to leave the camp."

"Also, anyone who has the Minister of Military Affairs going to the Military Affairs Office tonight will not be allowed to leave."

Her tone is solemn.

Xu Huizu frowned slightly and said, "Maybe the matter is not as serious as you think? Chang Mao went to the military camp to rebel. He shouldn't be so crazy, right?"

"The Chang family has contributed to the founding of the country and has a high position. Even if they are demoted by the grandson, it will not affect the descendants of the descendants who still enjoy the glory and wealth. They are also related to the emperor's family by marriage. What is the benefit of rebelling against him?"

"Even if Chang Mao wants to rebel, I'm afraid no one else in the Chang family will support him."

"Furthermore, King Heng and King Wu have mediocre talents and are far from getting along with the grandson."

"Now that the grandson's position has been confirmed, he will be able to govern the country for several months, the treasury will be abundant, the people will praise him, and the world will return to his heart."

"Even those officials who opposed him in the past cannot but recognize the grandson's ability."

"At this time, what kind of disturbance can the two of them create?"

Xu Miaojin shook his head.

"Brother, what you said makes sense, but I always feel very uneasy."

“I hope I’m just overthinking it, but being prepared will help you avoid danger.”

"In any case, be prepared, you can never go wrong."

"Regardless of what they try to do, these actions are always highly unusual and we have to adapt."

"It is better to have a false alarm than to be unprepared and be thrown into disarray when things happen."

Xu Huizu nodded and said: "Okay, I will inform the generals of the Xu family and prepare for emergencies. Then I will immediately go to the Military Affairs Office to take charge."

Xu Miaojin said again: "I have ordered the generals guarding the palace gate not to open the palace gate tonight."

"If you go to the Military Affairs Office, I'm afraid you can only enter with a hanging basket."

Xu Huizu said: "It's okay, how can elder brother care about these things."

Xu Miaojin said no more and immediately left the house and went to Song Guogong Feng Sheng's house.

Feng Sheng was very surprised when he saw her.

He was once a subordinate of Xu Da and accompanied Xu Da on many expeditions.

He is familiar with the people of the Xu family.

However, since Xu Da passed away, Feng Sheng seldom went to Xu's house.

Xu Huizu inherited the title and was also a leading general.

If the personal relationship is too close, it will inevitably cause suspicion.

And this is also a big taboo for military commanders.

Therefore, this time when he was transferred back to Beijing, he joined the Military Affairs Office and worked under His Highness Taisun's eyes. Although he could often see Xu Miaojin, he didn't have much contact with him.

"My niece visited late at night, but what happened?"

Feng Sheng asked with concern.

Although they don't have much contact with each other, after all, they have been Xu Da's subordinates for many years, and the title is still very cordial.

Xu Miaojin looked at him and said bluntly: "Uncle Feng, if something happens, will you support His Highness the Grand Sun or another prince?"

Feng Sheng turned pale with shock: "Your Majesty is still here, and the grandson is His Majesty's personal crown prince. He governs the country and orders the world. How dare I not listen? Why did my niece say such a thing?"

Xu Miaojin took a deep look at him and said: "Uncle Feng was once my father's subordinate. He is now the crown prince and grand master of the Ming Dynasty. He has great military achievements and high prestige."

"I say these words from the bottom of my heart today. If Uncle Feng just wants to talk about the situation, then I will leave immediately without saying anything."

Feng Sheng was startled and looked at her silently. After a while, he said, "His Royal Highness went to Yangshan today, but what happened?"

"That's not it."

Xu Miaojin shook her head and said: "But I believe that with Uncle Feng's foundation in the army, he has been in charge of the Military Affairs Department after returning to Beijing. If I expected it right, Uncle Feng must have heard some rumors."

Her words were actually a test.

Since Lan Yu closed the door to thank guests and Feng Sheng and Fu Youde were transferred back to the capital from other places and took charge of the military affairs office, the generals near the capital began to respect them in secret.

In particular, Li Jinglong was killed, Chang Mao was beaten to death, Prince Consort Ouyang Lun was executed, and Zhu Yunzhen severely punished those who evaded business taxes...

A series of measures have greatly damaged the interests of many military officers and nobles.

It also makes them more united.

Although the Xu family also has great influence in the military.

But due to her unusual relationship with His Highness Taisun, those dissatisfied generals would never show it in front of the Xu family.

Feng Sheng has a deep foundation in the army, and he is not a descendant of His Royal Highness, so there may be different sources of information.

If not, that's fine.

Just say it in one sentence.

If we can test out something else, that would be an unexpected gain.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Feng Sheng's face changed drastically.

"To be honest with my niece, I did hear some rumors before, but I don't know if it's true or not, and I dare not investigate further."

Xu Miaojin was shocked when he saw that his expression was wrong.

Just casually speaking, did you really get some news?
She tried her best to stay calm and act as if nothing had happened.

"I heard rumors that His Royal Highness King Wu secretly sent people to various coastal prefectures and brought back a group of rebels who were defeated and fled in the battle of Songjiang Mansion."

"According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, those who rebel will die. After these people are captured, they should be executed."

"But for some unknown reason, King Wu successively instructed local officials and guards not to behead the captured people, but to send them to Huitian Mansion for interrogation, and hundreds of them were transported back."

"However, these people were not sent to the capital. It is not clear where they went."

"Besides, I also heard that the King of Wu entrusted the generals in the army to find masters of calligraphy and artists who can imitate various handwriting."

"These two things are quite strange. How to deal with the rebellion has nothing to do with King Wu, nor is it within the scope of his authority."

"If you say you want a servant, I haven't heard of anyone entering his house."

"As for calligraphers, the King of Wu compiled the "Hongwu Dadian" together with Yao Guangxiao. Many of them are calligraphers, ministers of the court, and there are many people who are proficient in many fonts."

"But His Highness King Wu did not look for them. Instead, he asked a vulgar general who was illiterate to look for them. This is very thought-provoking."

"I just heard some gossip about these two things."

"After further questioning, no real evidence was found, only rumors."

"The matter involves King Wu, I can only tell them not to spread rumors and slander the imperial family."

"I heard my niece talk about it today. If you think about it carefully, is there really some kind of conspiracy in it?"
