Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

The captain on the city wall looked at the few people and said impatiently: "The city gate is closed, come back tomorrow!"

"No, we have an emergency and must enter the city immediately!" Jin Yiwei shouted immediately.

The captain snorted and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

The Jin Yiwei are great, but that depends on what kind of officer they are. Just one or two of them are really useless. It was taboo to open the city gate without authorization. If something happened, it was something that a small captain like him could not bear.

"Did you hear that? Open the door quickly!" The little Jin Yiwei shouted angrily, but the captain in the city ignored him at all.

Guo Ying reached out and pulled him, then stepped forward and said, "I am Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding. I have something important to report to your majesty. Please open the city gate as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, the captain on the city quickly raised his torch and looked down again. He was shocked when he saw Guo Ying: "It's the Marquis. Please wait a moment, I'll report it!"

With that said, the captain left in a hurry, and after a while, he brought the general in charge.

Guo Ying is also a veteran general. Many people in the army know him. This general recognized him at a glance.

"It's really you, Lord Marquis, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Guo Ying was a little embarrassed, the general asked.

Guo Ying sighed: "Hey, forget it, open the door quickly, I have something important to report to His Majesty quickly."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The general turned around in a hurry to make arrangements. After a while, he opened the city gate and welcomed them out.

Two guards in Jinyi helped Guo Ying approach the city gate, greeted the leader, and said, "Master Marquis, according to the rules, I need to check your seal. Please cooperate with Master Marquis."

Guo Ying paused for a moment and said with some embarrassment: "To be honest, I encountered difficulties this time and lost my seal."

"This……"

When the general heard this, he immediately became embarrassed.

Seeing this, Guo Ying said quickly: "If you are worried, you can send someone to go with me to meet the saint. The situation is urgent. I hope my brother can make it easier!"

The general hesitated for a while. According to the rules, this was definitely not allowed. However, the prestige of generals in the army still played a huge role nowadays. Guo Ying was a marquis, so he had no choice but to give him this face.

"Okay." The general agreed, and then assigned his subordinates to follow him.

"Thank you!"

Guo Ying thanked him and left in a hurry with the two Jinyi guards and this subordinate.

One of the two Jinyi guards took the lead and went to find Mao Xiang.

They could barely open the city gate, but they definitely couldn't open the palace gate. They had to ask Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the back hall to sleep, and heard the little eunuch calling softly outside.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and stood up, shouting out: "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Commander Mao sent someone to send a message saying that the Marquis of Wuding, Guo Ying, is back and wants to see Your Majesty for something urgent."

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. Guo Ying was sent to guard Li Wei. If he suddenly came back in the middle of the night, something must have happened!

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up in a hurry, put on some clothes and came to the young eunuch. He took out a talisman and handed it to him. He said in a deep voice: "Pass the order to let them in."

"Yes!"

The little eunuch got the order, got the talisman, and left in a hurry.

After the palace door is locked, it cannot be opened without special orders. Even with Zhu Yuanzhang's order, opening the palace door is very troublesome. The young eunuch first went to the Chief of Staff and obtained the key to the corresponding palace door. Then he explained to the guard at the palace gate and verified the talisman. Finally, Guo Ying was able to follow Mao Xiang into the palace gate.

The little eunuch led the two people to the front hall of Qianqing Palace, where Zhu Yuanzhang had already changed into Yanju uniform and was waiting.

"See Your Majesty!"

The two of them bowed and saluted. Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand casually and asked directly: "Why are you back? Something happened in Yangzhou?"

Guo Ying knelt down with a puff and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I accidentally had my military power taken away by Li Wei and was imprisoned in the mansion. It was not until yesterday that I took the opportunity to escape with the help of Jin Yiwei."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed and he asked in a deep voice: "How can this boy be so capable that he can take away your military power even if he is imprisoned in the house?"

"Everything I said is true. Your Majesty doesn't know anything. Li Wei spreads lies everywhere to win people's hearts. The guards who were originally responsible for guarding him were bewitched by him. Moreover, he also had some secret men. Together they raided my house at night. Mansion, captured the seal, and now the garrison in Yangzhou City is completely under his control. "

Guo Ying said anxiously.

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was cold: "We really don't know that this kid is capable of this. What rumors is he spreading?"

"He said something about everyone being equal and exploiting hierarchies..."

Guo Ying didn't know much about this before. Apart from what Zhao Shun said, he had been locked up since then and didn't know much about the outside world. Fortunately, the two Jinyi guards had explained the specific situation to him in detail along the way. He would not be unable to answer Zhu Yuanzhang's questions.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face became even more ugly after hearing his words.

The ideas promoted by Li Wei were a good thing for the people, but they were tantamount to the most powerful poison for the court and him. Once these views spread, he would be the end of the emperor, and there would even be no one in the future. Emperor, the world will undergo earth-shaking changes.

"This bastard! You are so lawless! Tomorrow you will immediately lead Yizhen, Zhenjiang and other guards to attack Yangzhou!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily with a livid face.

"Yes, your Majesty, don't worry. Li Wei was kidnapped by a mysterious man. Now Yangzhou City is just a rabble. I only need 30,000 troops to defeat it!"

Guo Ying said in a deep voice.

He made a big mistake when his troops and horses were captured this time. If Zhu Yuanzhang could give him this opportunity to make up for his mistakes, he would definitely have to go all out.

However, when Zhu Yuanzhang heard his words, he was suddenly stunned and asked hurriedly: "What did you say? Li Wei was kidnapped?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Guo Ying said.

Zhu Yuanzhang was horrified. He stood up suddenly and shouted: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Who was he kidnapped? Where was he?"

Guo Ying was startled, paused for a moment to react, and said anxiously: "I heard that it was robbed by an old man with white hair and beard. I don't know where he went."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned pale and shouted angrily: "Look for us immediately. We must find him. If you want to see him alive, you must see his corpse!"

Guo Ying was stunned. He had not had such a big reaction when he learned that Li Wei had rebelled. Now that he knew that people were being lost, how could it be more serious than rebellion?
"Then, what about the attack on Yangzhou?" Guo Ying asked tentatively.

"We can't control that much now. Let's take people to find him first! Go quickly!" Zhu Yuanzhang said eagerly.

"Yes!"

Guo Ying didn't know why, but he could only agree first.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he said to Mao Xiang: "You go too, mobilize all the Jinyi guards, and search with all your strength. You must find him for us!"

"Yes!"

Mao Xiang answered with cupped hands.

After that, he and Guo Ying left in a hurry. (End of chapter)
