King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

blah blah blah
Just at this moment, in the originally silent prison, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded.

It broke the current sense of tranquility and pulled everyone back from their wandering thoughts.

Then, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look towards the direction of the sound.

I saw two figures slowly coming into view from far to near under the dim brass oil lamp swaying with the breeze that came in from time to time through the ventilation holes.

After a while.

The two figures who entered suddenly came closer.

"I am here to see you, Prince Han."

The person who came here was none other than Ji Gang, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guards, and Liu Feng, the leader of Zhu Gaoxu's personal guards who had just intercepted Duan Li's message from the government office.

"Get up!"

Seeing the two people saluting in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu waved to them, and then asked:

"here."

"You two came together in synesthesia, but what big thing happened in the government office?"

"Ok?"

After hearing this, Liu Feng and Ji Gang glanced at each other subconsciously, then turned to look at Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan, who were nervous and slightly embarrassed, and acted like they were hesitant to speak. appearance.

So pretentious.

Zhu Gaoxu had a clear view of the two people's actions, and he also knew the hidden meanings of the two people.

After pondering briefly for a moment, he shrugged noncommittally, waved his hands at the two people who were hesitant to speak, and chuckled with a 'haha':

"It's out of the way."

"The two of them are in prison."

"And standing on the opposite side of the entire Linchuan City, the hatred between the two is not an exaggeration to call it a blood feud."

"So there is no need to worry about the two of them. Even if they have malicious intentions, I don't believe they can still pass on the news in the prison under our strict supervision."

"At the same time, the two of them have also been running Linchuan Fucheng for many years, and they know the secrets in the process even better than us."

"Tell me about it."

"What did you two discover in the government office?"

That’s it for now.

Got such a sure and definite answer.

Ji Gang and Liu Feng couldn't help but glance at each other subconsciously.

He simply stopped worrying about it, and then simply sorted out his thoughts. Ji Gang reached out and took out the previously intercepted note from his arms, presented it with extremely respectful hands, and said:

"Your Majesty."

"This is the letter we intercepted by the messenger bird that intercepted the government office's message."

"Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

Seeing the letter rolled into a small tube in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu reached out and took it, slowly unfolded it, and studied the contents recorded on the letter with interest.

Following the content that came into view, Zhu Gaoxu's eyebrows were frowning at a speed visible to the naked eye. On his originally calm, natural and indifferent face, a trace of cold murderous intent could not help but flash up, rising slightly. A biting sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he snorted:

"hehe."

"It's interesting. It's really getting more and more interesting."

"We all know how courageous these people are, but I didn't expect them to be so courageous."

"You dare to speak out and plan such treacherous and unethical acts."

“good good”

"Since you want to play, I don't mind having a good time with them."

"It has been several years since the Battle of Jingnan. No one has dared to plot against me like this for a long time."

He muttered something softly.

Regardless of whether it was Ji Gang and Liu Feng who stood aside and presented the letter, or whether it was Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan who were waiting carefully and quietly with their heads lowered.

He listened to Zhu Gaoxu's soft words in his ears, and at the same time he could clearly feel that as the words in Zhu Gaoxu's mouth came out word by word, the temperature in the entire prison gradually increased in the unorganized layout. Descending, the biting chill and murderous intent slowly filled the entire cell.

The four of them could not help but feel chills all over their bodies, and goosebumps could not stop popping out. In their blurry eyes, they seemed to feel a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood rising slowly from Zhu Gaoxu's body.

The oppressive, cold, violent, and destructive atmosphere is raging.

The four people in the cell couldn't help but shiver, and they knelt straight down, subconsciously burying their heads deeply, not even daring to look at the ground or even having their eyes roll.

For a moment, the entire cell seemed to have stopped in time and space, and everyone was frozen in that moment.

"call"

After a long time, Zhu Gaoxu came back from his contemplation and anger, and then pulled back his wandering thoughts. The aura exuding from his body stopped, and he turned to look at Ji Gang and Liu who were kneeling on the ground. Feng and the other two quietly asked:
"Is this letter the original, or is it a later copy?"

After hearing this.

Feeling the slowly warming atmosphere in the cell as the questions rang out, Ji Gang and Liu Feng, who were kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but let out a long breath.

I was also sweating deeply in my heart for the two of them, such a depressing atmosphere and such a powerful aura.

Over the years, the two of them have met countless people and come into contact with all kinds of people.

So far, I have only felt it in the Prince of Han and the Yongle Emperor, who is already the supreme emperor. However, the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi, who has been established as the crown prince, has never felt it in the body of either of them.

After a brief moment of confusion, the two people quickly pulled back their wandering thoughts, quickly cleared and discarded the messy thoughts in their minds, and then without the slightest hesitation, they hurriedly agreed:
"Go back to your lord."

"This letter is the original."

Got a positive answer.

Zhu Gaoxu frowned subconsciously and continued to ask:

"That's when the information is intercepted."

"Is the carrier pigeon responsible for carrying the message alive?"

"Yes Yes Yes"

"Leave alive, leave alive."

The two of them nodded in agreement.

While answering, Ji Gang shouted into a shadow outside the cell:

"Someone is coming."

"Bring the carrier pigeon that just sent the message and show it to Prince Han."

Say it.

blah blah blah
In the shadows, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and then a figure of a guard wearing a flying fish suit appeared. He walked in quickly from the outside with a black-feathered 'Myna' in his hand, and bowed to Zhu Gaoxu. body, saluted and said:

"Subordinate, please see Prince Han."

Then, with an extremely respectful expression, he presented the birdcage in his hand.

"This is the intercepted government messenger and carrier pigeon."

"Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

Seeing in front of me, under the dim flickering oil lamp, his eyes were glowing, his mouth was chirping eagerly from time to time, and he was jumping restlessly back and forth in the small cage.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but frowned subconsciously, and then made a "chirp" sound in his mouth to tease the "myna" for a long time.

None of them got the results he wanted.

Then, he looked at Ji Gang and Liu Feng who were kneeling on the ground and asked:

"It can't speak?"

After hearing this, Ji Gang chinned his head and responded:

"Go back to your lord."

"After we captured this bird, we tried to tease it in various ways, but we never found that it could speak simple human speech." "But is it really that it has not been domesticated and cannot speak human speech, or is it that it is unable to speak human speech?" We have not been able to find a way to trigger its human speech, but I cannot guarantee or be 100% sure about this issue.”

"So before arriving at the imperial prison, in order to be on the safe side, Wei Chen had already ordered someone to prepare a decoction that could poison him."

"By then, regardless of whether we have failed to find the triggering conditions, or whether it really has not been tamed, we can ensure that it becomes mute and will never send any news to the thieves."

Such reply.

It can be said that the preparations are quite sufficient.

All hidden dangers have been thought of and dealt with properly.

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded with satisfaction and responded:
"good."

"This matter was handled very well."

"In that case, there's no need to wait any longer. Restore the letter intact, then tie it to the beast's leg, and let the beast report the message."

"At the same time, let our people watch closely to see where this beast has gone."

"Once the target is determined, let me capture everyone in the place where this beast goes without any hesitation."

"If anyone in this trip dares to resist at all, regardless of their identity, they can be killed first and then reported."

This statement came out.

Ji Gang's expression became solemn, Ji Gang nodded heavily and agreed:
"promise!"

"I'll do it now."

Say it.

Ji Gang stood up from the ground without any extra pause. He saluted Zhu Gaoxu with an extremely respectful expression, then waved to the Jin Yiwei who was carrying the birdcage. He then took the letter handed over by Zhu Gaoxu and shook it gently. Holding it in his hand, he strode towards the outside of the prison.

Seeing Ji Gang and others disappearing into the shadows.

Liu Feng, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head to look at his master, with a burst of worry and panic in his expression. He hesitated and said:

"Your Majesty."

"This move. Is this move too risky?"

"These thieves are in the dark, and the prince is in the open, so I am worried."

The rest of the words were not finished.

But Zhu Gaoxu was not a fool, so how could he not understand what Liu Feng meant.

After all, I was just worried about his safety.

At the same time, Zhu Gaoxu was not a ungrateful person, and he also understood that Liu Feng's move was really for his own good. He did not angrily or scold him, but instead waved his hand to stop him and said:

"okay."

"Liu Feng, you don't need to say anything."

"I understand what you mean."

"Don't worry. The battle of Jingnan is so dangerous, and I, the great king, who is surrounded by dangers, will be able to do it without any hindrance."

"Now that the world is at peace, all the imperial forces in Linchuan City that can pose a threat to this king are under my control."

"In this case, what kind of trouble can these thieves hiding in the dark make?"

"Besides, this king has been on the battlefield for a long time, so what if there is danger?"

"Does this king still want to stay away from these rebellious officials and traitors?"

"Wouldn't that be a big joke?"

Come on.

My master said so.

Although Liu Feng still felt it was a bit risky.

After all, how can jade and porcelain collide?
However, Liu Feng knew better than anyone else what kind of character his master was. He was a person who, once he made a decision, would never give up, let alone someone who would not back down because of someone's words or knowing that something was threatening.

This character, during the Battle of Jingnan, saved the current Emperor Yongle from desperate situations several times, almost put himself in trouble several times, and almost died, which is enough to explain the problem.

For this reason, Liu Feng had no choice but to suppress the words of persuasion that were already on his lips.

But even so, he secretly swore in his heart that during this trip to Linchuan Fucheng, things could not be done, and he could not avenge anyone, and even those who accompanied him could die or be sacrificed.

There is absolutely nothing that can go wrong with the man in front of me, King of Han Zhu Gaoxu.

It is necessary to protect him thoroughly and escape intact.

"promise!"

"Wei Chen understands."

After suppressing his restless emotions, Liu Feng nodded heavily and agreed.

"Well"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately, he turned his attention to the two heads of the Zhang and Wang families who were still prostrate on the ground, waved his hands at them, and said:

"okay."

"Just get up and wait."

When the two of them stood up, Zhu Gaoxu frowned and pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Liu Feng aside, his expression suddenly became particularly solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
"Let's go."

"Nowadays, all the people in the government who should have jumped out have already jumped out."

"We already have the necessary evidence."

"It's time to have a serious showdown with all the officials of Linchuan government office. I would like to see how courageous these individuals are to actually do such evil things."

Say it.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan, who were standing aside with their heads lowered, and waved to them:

"Wait, you will also go with me."

"Look at the fate of these people who used to stand above you, accuse you of unwarranted charges, and treat you like ants. I am letting you see with your own eyes how I will give you this bad breath."

After hearing this, Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan, who had lowered their heads, subconsciously raised their heads and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, their expressions full of disbelief.

"Ok?"

"Are you acting like this?"

"Is it because you don't want to or don't want to go?"

"It shouldn't be!!"

Seeing this situation, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but frowned, with a trace of doubt flashing in his expression.

When Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking.

Just kidding!
How could you not want to?
They couldn't wait to do it.

You know, these years of suppression have caused Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan to hold back enough anger in their hearts.

In the past, I didn't have the ability, let alone the ability to vent my anger and vent my anger.

Now there are people who support them, help them, stand up for them, and invite them to watch the people who used to treat them like ants become prisoners.

Such a good thing, when bad temper comes out.

Anyone who is unwilling is a fool.

Besides, it was Prince Han who took the initiative to invite them, which gave them a big face and gave them enough face.

Taken together, there is no reason to refuse.

Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan, who were originally stunned, came to their senses in an instant, their expressions suddenly became extremely excited, their brows were full of excitement, their heads shook like rattles, and they waved their hands crazily:

“No, no, no”

"Yes. Yes, we are willing." (End of chapter)
