Chapter 205 Mutiny
Three days later.

After Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji learned the news of the prince's death, they took only a small group of troops and hurried back to the capital almost at night.

The East Palace is covered with white silk.

Cries echoed throughout.

When the two came to the East Palace and saw this scene, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhu Di got off the horse.

Looking at the mourning hall in front of me, I wanted to walk over, but as soon as I took a step, my feet went weak and I almost fell to the ground.

The accompanying eunuch Wang Zhen quickly supported him, but was pushed away by Zhu Di.

Staggering into the mourning hall, Zhu Di ignored the mourning crown prince and all the royal relatives, officials and ministers around him. He went straight to the coffin and reached out to push the coffin board open.

When he saw Zhu Gaochi's pale face clearly in the coffin, it seemed as if the last bit of strength in his body had been lost, and his whole body collapsed.

"Dad, please forgive me."

Zhu Gaosui came over and comforted him with heavy eyes.

As a result, his words of comfort not only received no response from Zhu Di, but instead attracted a pair of bloodshot pupils.

"what is going on?"

Zhu Di turned around and said with scarlet eyes as if he wanted to eat someone: "Although the boss's health has not been very good, he should not have died suddenly. I am not dead yet? What is going on? Is this the case? Wasn’t it you and Lao Er?”

Zhu Gaosui fell to his knees and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Dad, I know you doubt me and my second brother about this, but no matter what, I don't dare to murder my eldest brother!"

Looking at the appearance of the third child, it was unclear whether Zhu Di believed what he said. Zhu Di did not respond. Instead, he glanced around a few times and then suddenly asked:

"Where's the second child?"

"Second child, second child..."

Zhu Gaosui raised his head and looked around, looking for traces of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu.

It took me a long time to find it.

But nothing was gained.

Seeing this, Zhu Di immediately flew into a rage, strode out of the mourning hall, and said angrily: "Where are the people of the Han Dynasty? Where did they die? He didn't care about his own brother's death. Is he so eager to ascend to the throne of the prince?"

Zhu Di's Long Yan was furious, instantly silencing everyone present, and the huge mourning hall suddenly fell into a dead silence.

A group of people looked left and right.

But no one could answer Zhu Di's question.

Because Zhu Gaoxu is really missing.

Zhu Di's face became even more angry, and he shouted loudly: "Where is the Jin Yiwei? Bring me that little beast King of Han."

Hear this.

Everyone in the mourning hall understood that His Majesty was really angry, and immediately lowered their heads.

But next.

Something that no one expected happened.

Because following Zhu Di's order, none of the guards around him responded and still stood quietly.

"Can't you hear what I say? Jinyiwei, go and bring the King of Han here."

Zhu Di ordered angrily again.

As a result, the Jin Yiwei around him still showed no reaction.

Not only Zhu Di, but also everyone else present realized something was wrong.

Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaosui came to Zhu Di's side immediately, guarding Zhu Di on the left and right in the center, and looked around vigilantly.

And just then.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps, mixed with a few unhurried hoofbeats, slowly approaching from outside the East Palace Gate. next moment.

The main gate and side door of the East Palace were all pushed open with a bang, and then two teams of heavily armed men and horses poured in from the left and right, quickly surrounding the entire East Palace.

And in the center of this army, a figure riding on a tall horse slowly walked in from the gate.

Meet this person.

Zhu Gaosui's eyes widened instantly, his face full of shock and disbelief.

But Zhu Di's expression darkened instantly.

"Two, second brother?"

The person who came was none other than Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han Dynasty.

The person standing next to him was none other than "Xuanwu", the governor of Jinyiwei.

"Second brother, what are you doing?"

It's not that Zhu Gaojiu couldn't guess what Zhu Gaojiu wanted to do, but he couldn't believe it. After all, their rebellion just failed some time ago. Where did his second brother gather so much power to rebel again?

Zhu Gaojiu was riding on the horse and did not answer Zhu Gaosui's words, but just looked at Zhu Di quietly.

Zhu Di was also looking at Zhu Gaoxu.

have to say.

As the king of a country, Zhu Di's state of mind is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

When he didn't see Zhu Gaoxu before, he was furious like a lion. Now that he was suddenly in such a situation, Zhu Di calmed down.

"Boss, you killed him?"

Zhu Di took a deep breath and spoke calmly, with no hint of joy or anger in his voice.

"If I said I wasn't the one who killed him, would you believe me?"

Zhu Gaoxu's tone was also calm.

Zhu Di did not respond, and looked calmly at the surrounding troops. Finally, he paused for a second longer on Xuanwu, and then continued: "You dare to act in front of your eldest brother's mourning hall today. You shouldn't have more than this manpower, right? Why don't you all?" Come out! Let me, old man, see who in the court chooses to support you as emperor."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't speak.

But the next moment.

I saw a crowd of people rushing in outside the East Palace Gate again, but this time the people who came in were no longer soldiers, but a group of officials and ministers in court uniforms.

When this group of people walked in.

The expressions of everyone present, including Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaosui, couldn't help but change.

Because the official positions of these courtiers are indeed not low, the lowest is seventh rank, and the highest one is already a second rank official, and his status in the court is second only to the six ministers.

Nowadays, there are many people worshiping the prince in the mourning hall, and many of them have served as officials in the court.

When they saw these people, they were all shocked.

Because before this, none of them knew that the second prince had unknowingly accumulated such an amazing team in the court.

"Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a master for a day. Now that the prince has passed away, your majesty should re-establish the prince's position as soon as possible to calm the people."

The second-grade official took a step forward and spoke respectfully to Zhu Di.

Although this was said very politely, in fact, in terms of the current situation, the original intention of this sentence was to force Zhu Di into a palace.

Zhu Di stared at him coldly for a while.

"You are so talented! You are actually able to penetrate my Ming Dynasty to such an extent. Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Chaotang... all have your manpower. I believe you have spent a lot of effort to prepare for today. Bar?"

The second-rank official did not respond, but looked at Zhu Di firmly, took a step forward, and said again: "Your Majesty, please appoint a prince as soon as possible to calm the people."
