Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 145 What I Want To Tell You!
As the refugees came in force and retreated steadily, the situation in the city was quickly stabilized. Some soldiers were still resisting tenaciously, but they were unable to stop them.

When dawn came, this chaotic battle finally came to an end.

Zhu Tuo glanced at the majestic palace, placed the blood-stained sword on the ground, and said, "Lu Qing, call the censor of Jin over. I have many questions to ask him."

"What if he doesn't say it?"

"Just kill him." Zhu Tuo said nonchalantly.

Changshi Zhutong was stunned. Taiyuan fell in one night?

So fast?

Just as he was about to escape, Lu Qing led a group of soldiers to rush in and asked calmly: "Shi Zhutong from Jin Dynasty? Our king wants to see you, hurry up and leave!"

Zhu Tong was so frightened that his knees weakened. Logically speaking, such a rebellion should kill some high-ranking officials. However, as the prefect of the Jin Dynasty, how could he be the first to go to sacrifice?

He said in a trembling voice: "My lord, please forgive me. Although I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty, I also have thoughts of rebellion. If you don't mind, I can join you."

Lu Qing glanced at him disdainfully: "Catch him!"

Several energetic guards escorted him to the mansion.

Zhu Tong was escorted into the palace. After the Jin Yiwei put him down, he immediately fell to the ground, motionless.

Zhu Tuo shouted coldly: "You are Dashi Zhutong?" Seeing Zhutong trembling, he shouted sharply.

Hearing this, Zhu Tong's eyes turned and fell on Zhu Tuo who was sitting on the main seat. When he saw the blood all over his body, he immediately knelt down tremblingly and kowtowed to the blood-stained Zhu Tuo: "I hope you will forgive me. Although I am the censor of Jin, I don't have any power!"

Zhu Tuo narrowed his eyes and said indifferently: "You are not the real controller? If you don't have the power, you will mess up the Jin Dynasty. If you have the power, wouldn't it mean that the world will be in chaos?"

"But it's none of my business!"

Zhu Tong's face was as pale as earth, and he quickly begged: "If you don't mind, my subordinates are willing to surrender and hand over all the defense and household registration in Jin. I just hope that your majesty can be lenient.

Boom!
A trace of contempt flashed in Zhu Tuo's eyes, and he said contemptuously, "Why should I let you go?"

"That's because you are capable and a kind and righteous monarch. I am not very smart, but I have lived in Jin for decades and know every plant and tree in Jin very well. If I were there, With your help, we can definitely accomplish something big.”

Zhu Tuo did not answer, but continued: "Aren't you afraid that if I fail to resist, you will die with me?"

Zhu Tong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a smile: "Why do you say this? How can the DPRK defeat you? As long as you take over Jin and form an alliance with Mongolia, you will have no worries."

“Moreover, the current emperor is old, and I don’t know how long he can live.

If you can manage the state of Jin better, perhaps this world will be yours. "

Zhu Tong gradually plucked up the courage. He felt that he had said so many nice things, coupled with his admiration for this traitor, that he could always save his life.

Zhu Tuo glared at Zhu Tong, rubbed his face, and said: "I am very happy when you praise me, but I am not happy when you insult my father! Although my father often beats me, I am broad-minded and don't care.
"Father?"

Zhu Tong was slightly taken aback, and stared at Zhu Tuo blankly, he was very young, but he could vaguely see what he used to be like...
Lord?

Zhu Tong suddenly thought of something, and his whole body was shocked. He stared at Zhu Tuo for a long time, then raised a finger and whispered: "Prince Su?"

“What I hate most is having someone poke their finger in the head!”

Zhu Tuo slapped his palm on the table, making a loud noise, and yelled: "Okay, you traitor, you are the governor of Jin. If you don't serve the Ming Dynasty properly, you will betray first when there is a problem! You are My spy!" "Lord Su, please forgive me!"

Zhu Tong's knees weakened and he fell to his knees directly, begging: "King Su, I didn't know you were coming, so I offended you, but I never expected that you would actually want to rebel!"

A few days ago, intelligence from Shunping County came from Taiyuan, and Zhu Tong discussed it with the officials in Taiyuan.

In their eyes, Taiyuan is a united place where officials will not be severely punished as long as they abide by their duties.

No matter how His Royal Highness investigated, he found no clues.

What's more, Zhu Tong's purpose was very simple, just to deceive King Su.The situation in Jin will soon improve. By then, everything in Jin will be in order, and he can be a county magistrate with peace of mind.

However, things did not develop according to his plan. Unexpectedly, King Su would lead a group of refugees to rebel.
Everyone is Zhu, is it fun to be a villain yourself?

"This king did not seek rebellion!"

Zhu Tuo's eyes spurted out a hint of anger, and he shouted: "Today, I want to find out everything about the entire Jin Kingdom. The cause of death of my third brother Wang, where has the imperial relief food gone, and why do you want to arrest him?" So many refugees?”

Hearing this, Zhu Tong was shocked, lowered his head and stopped talking.

"You don't want to tell me? Zhu Tuo said coldly.

Zhu Tong looked pale. This project involved too much. Once it was leaked, all the civil and military officials in Jin would be in trouble.

It's not imprisonment, it's not exile, it's killing the nine clans!

Because this plan is too cruel, if it is leaked, it will definitely cause an uproar and become the target of public criticism. At that time, the entire civil and military officials of the Jin Kingdom will never be able to stand up.

"I don't think he will tell." Zhu Tuo looked at Zhu Tong's face and said solemnly: "Since you refuse to tell me your long history, there must be something fishy about the death of your third brother. "I really want to know. , what kind of secret was it that caused the Ming Dynasty vassal kings to lose their lives like this. "

Hearing this, Zhu Tong was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground with a look of horror on his face: "Your Majesty, I hope we can see clearly that His Majesty the King of Jin was seriously ill and died suddenly.

There are no secrets. "

Zhu Tuo stared at Zhu Tong and said in a deep voice: "Do you think I will believe you? I guess the third brother must have known something and wanted to report it to the court, but you had to kill the third brother in order to conceal this matter. Brother, right?"

Zhu Tong squinted and shouted: "I am innocent, even if I have ten guts, I can't attack everyone in Ming Dynasty. There is nothing to hide from King Jin's death."

"Haha, do you think I'm such an easy fool?"

Zhu Tuo rubbed his cheek and thought thoughtfully: "The food and provisions of the imperial court are gone, and I don't know where they went. Zhu Tong, what do you say?"

Zhu Tuo changed the topic, making De Zhutong look horrified.

Relief for food shortages is certainly a very difficult matter, but compared to this plan, it is nothing.

Zhu Tong said: "The imperial court has some of the famine food in Jin, but the quantity is not large. In addition, food must be used in all parts of Jin, and food must be used in various places, which has led to the slow distribution of food. "

"Slow down? Along the way, everything I saw was nothing."

"Maybe it's because our work speed is too slow, and the Mongolian attacks are getting more and more intense, that's why we do this. For the stability of the Ming Dynasty, we decided to hand over food and grain to the army on the border."
