My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 617 Transferring Hostages
Ever since he let Zhu Gaoxu enter the city, Zhu Yong has been very worried. It would be best if Zhu Gaoxu succeeded, but if he failed, he would also lose his head.

But Zhu Yong has no regrets. Even if it happens again, he will still let Zhu Gaoxu go to Beijing, not only because of his friendship with Zhu Zhanhe, not just because he wants to bet on Zhu Gaoxu, but also because of Zhu Zhanji’s treatment of him during this period. The suppression has long made him angry.

Zhu Yong came from a noble family and had never suffered any losses since he was a child. Moreover, he turned back as a prodigal son and worked hard over the years. He asked himself that he had done nothing to disappoint the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Zhanji deliberately suppressed him just because he had a good personal relationship with Zhu Zhanhe, and even humiliated him to guard the city gate. Although Zhu Yong didn't say it, he couldn't bear it no matter what.

"Report~"

At this moment, a soldier who was inquiring about the news suddenly rushed up to the top of the city and came to Zhu Yong to report.

"General, Your Majesty and the British Duke have led the five military camps back to the Imperial City, and now there is a confrontation over there!"

"what!"

Zhu Yong couldn't help but turn pale when he heard that Zhu Zhanji was not captured by Zhu Gaoxu, but instead joined forces with Zhang Fu to control the fifth military camp, because he knew that this meant that Zhu Gaoxu's raid failed, even if Zhu Gaoxu controlled the imperial city , but at best they can only protect themselves and cannot stay in the Ming Dynasty for a long time.

The most dangerous person now is Zhu Yong himself. If Zhu Zhanji is free, he will definitely be the first to arrest him and hold him accountable.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yong couldn't sit still anymore. At this time, he didn't care about the city gate, because the guards at the city gate were not his confidants. Now he can suppress it for the time being, but when Zhu Zhanji's imperial edict arrives, Maybe these gatekeepers will be the first to take him down.

So Zhu Yong casually found an excuse, left the city gate with a few confidants, returned home as quickly as possible, then called his wife and old lady, dressed up as ordinary people, and prepared to escape from the capital in the chaos. He knew Zhu Zhanhe and the others are at Tianjin Port and are planning to meet them there. After all, he will definitely not be able to stay here in Ming Dynasty.

But unexpectedly, before Zhu Yong and his family left the Chengguo Palace, Zhu Gaoxu sent someone to notify them to enter the palace.

Zhu Yong hesitated for a long time before he decided to take the risk and go to the imperial city. Unexpectedly, no one stopped him and he met Zhu Gaoxu smoothly.

"Zhu Yong, I have reached an agreement with my eldest nephew. You will take people to Tianjin tonight to meet Zhanhe and the others!"

After Zhu Gaoxu saw Zhu Yong, he immediately gave instructions.

"Okay, Your Majesty, do you have anything you want me to bring to Zhan He?"

Zhu Yong didn't show any pretense and agreed directly.

"I will leave the capital to join you after attending the funerals of my father and eldest brother. During this period, you can stay in Tianjin without worrying about my safety!"

Zhu Gaoxu replied without thinking.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, there should be no problem with your safety in the Imperial City, but we went to Tianjin. If we stay there, His Majesty might do something bad to us. As long as Zhan He and the others are captured, Your Majesty will still be able to I’m forcing you to submit!”

At this time, Zhu Yong kindly reminded him that if he thought about it, if he reunited with Zhu Zhanhe, it would be best to leave the Ming Dynasty's waters as soon as possible to ensure safety.

"Don't worry, I will give you an amulet!" Zhu Gaoxu smiled and waved to the back, and immediately a woman came out with a baby in her arms.

"This is my eldest nephew's newborn son, and he is also the only prince of the Ming Dynasty. When you leave later, take him with you quietly. With him in your hands, my eldest nephew will definitely not dare to attack you!"

Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand and pointed at the child in the woman's arms. As for this woman, she was the wet nurse prepared in the palace, not the child's biological mother, Concubine He. After all, Zhu Gaoxu only wanted the child, and the child's mother was not important.

"That's it. Thank you so much, King Han!"

Zhu Yong finally understood after hearing this. Zhu Zhanji had only had such a child for so many years. No wonder Zhu Gaoxu said it was a talisman. After all, as long as he took him with him and borrowed Zhu Zhanji's courage, he would not dare to use force on them.

Without further ado, Zhu Gaoxu dispatched 500 men and horses, plus Zhu Yong's cronies, and gathered 800 people. Zhu Yong then personally commanded and escorted his family members to leave the capital. As for the young prince, he was handed over to Zhu Yong. Yong's wife took care of it personally.

Zhu Zhan basically didn't know that it was Zhu Yong who let Zhu Gaoxu into the capital, but as he and Zhang Fu led the fifth military camp into the capital, they slowly regained control of the capital. This also allowed him to finally learn from the city gate that Zhu Gaoxu was so The reason for entering Beijing easily.

To be honest, Zhu Zhanji wanted to capture Zhu Yong and cut him into pieces. If he hadn't opened the city gate at the critical moment and allowed Zhu Gaoxu to enter the capital smoothly, the entire imperial city would not have fallen into Zhu Gaoxu's hands so easily. He wouldn't have to climb over the wall to escape from the imperial city.

But it is too late to know this now. Zhu Gaoxu has clearly requested that Zhu Yong and his family be sent away. Thinking that his family are Zhu Gaoxu's hostages, especially his son who had been begged with great difficulty, Zhu Zhanji dare not act rashly and can only He watched helplessly as Zhu Yong led the people away.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji never dreamed that Zhu Gaoxu would hand over his son to Zhu Yong. In fact, even if he knew, it would be useless. Unless he didn't want his son's life, he would not dare to use force against Zhu Yong.

However, Zhu Yong was also very worried on the road. Although Zhu Zhanji's son was used as a talisman, if someone intercepted him, it would be difficult to protect himself with only the 800 people in his hands.

Therefore, Zhu Yong was also on tenterhooks along the way. He also hid the little prince in the carriage and did not dare to let anyone see him. Apart from Zhu Gaoxu, only Zhu Yong, his wife and the wet nurse who took care of the child knew about this matter.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhanji was afraid of the hostages in Zhu Gaoxu's hands, and did not know that Zhu Yong had taken his son away, so he did not send troops to embarrass Zhu Yong.

So after a whole night of rapid march, Zhu Yong finally led his people to Tianjin.

"That's what happened. I guess Your Majesty still doesn't know that the little prince is already in our hands."

Zhu Yong finally said proudly.

"This matter can't be hidden for long. In order to make the elder brother take action against us, my father may take the initiative to tell the elder brother about this matter so that he does not dare to attack us."

Zhu Zhanhe also spoke after listening.

"Actually, this is fine. The little prince is in our hands. Your Majesty doesn't dare to do anything to us, let alone the prince. In this way, the safety of both of us is guaranteed. As long as the prince has finished his work, we can still take him with him. The little prince leaves, and it won’t be too late to release the hostages after they reach a safe place!”

Zhang Zhong also analyzed at this time.
