Chapter 175

With the appearance of Hu Wei, the farce of Zhu Wei's rebellion ended before it even started.

Speaking of this mutiny, it was not in Hu Wei's plan. He was sent to Changsha by Zhu Zhanhe. He just wanted to wait for Zhu Zhan to receive the imperial decree and leave Changsha for the capital. Then he would send someone to arrest Monk Jishi.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Wei was unwilling to be captured without a fight, and desperately wanted to rebel immediately, and even asked Zhang Xing to gather the troops of the palace.

It's just that Zhu Wei never dreamed that Zhang Xing would betray him and get involved with Hu Wei.

In fact, Zhu Wei didn't know that Zhang Xing had already turned to Jin Yiwei and joined forces with Jin Yiwei to collect evidence of Zhu Wei's rebellion. He wanted to report it in the future, but he didn't expect that Hu Wei would come to Changsha before the evidence was collected, so Zhang Xing passed Jin Yiwei hooked up with Hu Wei.

Faced with Zhu Wei's imminent rebellion, Hu Wei had no choice but to come forward and command Zhang Xing to surround Gu Wang's mansion, and then arrest everyone, even Gu Wang was put under house arrest by him in the palace.

At the beginning, King Gu put on the airs of a prince, pointing at Hu Min and scolding, even if Zhang Xing accused him, he refused to admit that he was going to rebel, but instead said that Zhang Xing was falsely accusing him.

But when Hu Wei brought over the captured monk Jishi, Zhu Wei was like a defeated rooster.

Although Monk Jishi disguised himself as a servant of the palace, he still did not escape Hu Wei's capture. He surrounded the entire palace and strictly prohibited anyone from leaving, and then arrested everyone in the palace to identify them one by one.

In the end, Monk Ji Shi, who was among the servants, was recognized. At that time, he attempted to commit suicide, but was stopped by Jin Yiwei's people, so he was caught alive.

Three days later, Hu Wei personally escorted King Gu and his henchmen, and left Changsha by boat.

"Zhang Xing, why did you betray the king?"

In the cabin, Zhu Xi gritted his teeth and questioned Zhang Xing, who was guarding him.

"Forgive me, my lord. The general is not afraid of death, but I don't want my family to be implicated by me, so I can only abandon the dark and turn to the bright!"

Zhang Xing replied with a stern expression.

Rebellion is a heinous crime, and Zhang Xing doesn't want his parents and wife to lose their heads with him.

"Then you have never thought that if I succeed in ascending the throne, you will be the hero who founded the country, and at least you will be the Duke of the country in the future. Isn't it much better than a small governor?"

Zhu Wei asked again with a heartbroken heart.

"Your Majesty, don't dream about it. Back then, His Majesty was able to calm down the hard things, but it doesn't mean that you can too!"

Zhang Xing replied dumbfounded.

As an excellent general, Zhang Xing was very aware of the comparison between the strength of the Gu Palace and the imperial court. Rebelling with Zhu Suo's strength was tantamount to striking a stone with an egg, and Zhu Sui was far less talented than Zhu Di.

Even if it was Zhu Di, he was still alive when Jing was in trouble. If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet Zhu Yunqi and Li Jinglong, Zhu Di would have died countless times.

"you……"

Zhu Sui's face was flushed red by Zhang Xing's words, but he couldn't refute.

However, Zhu Wei quickly snorted coldly and said again: "Don't think that you will end well if you betray me. As the governor of the palace, if you can betray me today, you can certainly betray others in the future. With the strength of my fourth brother Xinxing, even if you arrive in the capital, you will probably be questioned!"

Zhu Xi's words really hit the point. As the governor of the palace, Zhang Xing was in charge of the guards of the Gu Palace, but he allowed the Gu King to recruit troops in Changsha, and even build a powerful warship.

This can at least cure Zhang Xing of the crime of covering up. Even if Zhang Xing had taken refuge in Jinyiwei before and helped Hu Yan stop the rebellion, at most, the merits and demerits would be equal, or even the merits would not be equal, and he would still be punished. condemn.

Thinking of the above, Zhang Xing also showed a silent look. If he really wanted to ask the crime, his crime should not be too serious, but there is one point, his future may be completely ruined, after all, who would reuse a person who betrayed the master ?
"Why don't you talk anymore, do you regret it? If you knew this, you should help me fight to the death!"

Seeing that Zhang Xing didn't speak, Zhu Wei immediately mocked with a proud face.

"My lord was wrong, I don't regret taking refuge in Your Majesty!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing raised his head and smiled freely.

"In these years, I followed Your Highness, from the north to the south, traveled too many places, and wandered for half a lifetime without any great achievements. It can be said that this is the way I have been in this life. If Your Majesty wants to punish me, I will admit it. In the worst case, I will be unofficial, and I will take my family back to my hometown to farm."

Hearing Zhang Xing's words, Zhu Wei was also stunned for a while. In his impression, Zhang Xing had always been a high-spirited and ambitious person, but he didn't expect him to say that he would go back to his hometown to farm.

"Yo, the prince and Dudu Zhang had a lively chat!"

At this moment, suddenly, Hu Yan came in with a smile and said.

In fact, he had already come, and stood outside the door for a while, eavesdropping, before coming in.

"Hu Wei, you are really good. You even rushed to Changsha at a critical time. Does it mean that my fourth brother already knew about me?"

Zhu Wei looked at Hu Wei and asked with a gloomy expression.

"Your Majesty is amazing. Your Majesty already knows what you did in Changsha, but it's all thanks to you!"

Hu Yan replied with a smile.

"Myself? What do you mean?"

Zhu Bing was puzzled.

"If you didn't want to drag the King of Shu into the water, the King of Shu wouldn't write a letter to report your treason, but you are so powerful that you even colluded with the remnants of Jianwen and intercepted the messenger on the way. If Jin Yiwei didn't happen to meet you, maybe It really made you a success."

When Hu Mei mentioned that Jin Yiwei saved Gu Zhan, his teeth itched with anger.

Originally, he and Jin Yiwei were monitoring Foxiang Temple together, but because King Gu bragged that Zhu Yunwen was in his house, Hu Min transferred him away, and Jin Yiwei Bai took a big credit.

"Ji Shi's group of people are really unreliable in their work!"

Zhu Sui said with hatred when he heard the words.

"My lord, what on earth are you thinking, that you let the son of King Shu, your nephew, pretend to be Emperor Jianwen, do you know that because of this, I have been tricked so badly by you!"

Hu Wei got angry when he mentioned this matter, if it wasn't for this matter, he would not bet with Zhu Zhanhe, and he lost.

"Hmph, why do I need to explain to you what I do!"

Zhu Wei flicked his sleeves and said angrily, even if he was arrested, he is still a prince now, and the airs he should have cannot be overthrown.

But at this moment, I saw a young voice from the cabin next door shouting: "In the matter of Hu Ge, since you know that I am the son of the king of Shu, and I was forced by my nineteenth uncle to pretend to be Emperor Jianwen, how can you do that?" Can't you let me go now?"

It turned out that Zhu Yuexiu was imprisoned in the cabin next door, and he was also arrested together with Zhu Suo's henchmen. Because the walls of the cabin were too thin, he heard all the conversations between Zhu Suo and others just now.
