Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

The sounds of gunfire and shouting came one after another, and every explosion would cause all the civil and military officials in the tent to tremble.

Yang Shiqi looked at the father and son who stood still and felt extremely anxious. He wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by Yang Rong beside him, who shook his head to signal him not to act rashly.

"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? Didn't they say the armored vehicles would be here in an hour? What about the air force? Are they just there to do nothing?"

Seeing the crown prince and the grandson standing motionless, some officials could not help but mutter in a low voice.

However, the generals who followed the funeral procession ignored their chanting and knelt silently beside the coffin, guarding the emperor's body.

Suddenly, the gunshots outside stopped. Everyone's heart was in their throat, knowing that the result of the fight outside had been decided.

"Ta Tata..."

Meticulous footsteps were heard from outside, and the tent was suddenly opened with a bang. A large number of soldiers covered in smoke rushed in.

"How dare you! Get out of here!"

Zhao Xian dragged his old body, pointed at the soldiers and shouted at them.

However, the soldiers ignored him and directly occupied the tent, aiming their guns at everyone.

"Hahahahaha..."

A burst of arrogant laughter came from outside the tent. Everyone looked up and saw the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, dressed in military uniform, striding in.

"King of Han, the late emperor's body is still warm, and you have already done something so outrageous that both humans and gods would hate you. Aren't you afraid of heaven's punishment?"

Zhao Xian's eyes were red and he looked at Zhu Gaoxu angrily.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him coldly, then looked at Zhu Pangpang and Zhu Zhanjun who were still kneeling in front of the coffin.

"Brother and nephew, I miss you so much."

Zhu Zhanjun was unmoved by his words and continued to burn his paper money. He replied indifferently, "Second Uncle wants us to die."

"Hahahaha... We are all family, why would Second Uncle want you to die, my eldest nephew?"

Striding into the tent, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the coffin with complicated eyes, and a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"Old man, this is all your fault. If you had chosen me, none of this would have happened."

"You demoted me to a remote place, but who was it that helped you to establish the Ming Dynasty? Who saved your life time and time again? Don't you remember?"

"I'm back this time, and I want to take back everything I lost."

"I want the whole world to be in my hands, and I want all the people to submit to me."

After venting his anger, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Pangpang who had been silent the whole time and said, "Brother, thank you for taking care of me for so many years and for helping me build this world."

"Don't worry. Since you and your son have done so much for me, I won't kill you. I will let you watch as the Ming Dynasty becomes even more glorious in my hands. I will surpass this old man and all the emperors in history and become the greatest being."

"The King of Han is mighty!"

Suddenly, some officials ran out from the kneeling crowd and bowed before Han King Zhu Gaoxu.

Such a scene made everyone stunned. They didn't expect that there were people from the King of Han among them.

"King of Han, can you answer a question for me before I die?"

Yang Shiqi stood up, looking ready to die, but with a hint of doubt in his eyes, he asked, "Logically speaking, this place is not far from the capital. There was a riot here, and the Capital Guard Corps and the Capital Guard Air Force should be able to arrive immediately. Why didn't they come?"

Zhu Gaoxu laughed again and said to Yang Shiqi with pity: "Since you have worked hard for the Ming Dynasty all your life, I will let you die with a clear conscience."

"If you don't show up now, when will you show up?"

The King of Han shouted loudly, and everyone looked around to see who had the ability to prevent the guards who were protecting the capital from coming.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xiaohu, who was guarding behind Zhu Zhanjun, slowly stood up, and Ergou, the general guarding opposite him, also stood up.

It was not until this moment that everyone discovered that the two people kneeling behind Zhu Pangpang and Zhu Zhanjun had a pistol in their hands, pointing it at Zhu Pangpang and Zhu Zhanjun.

"how is this possible?"

Everyone present was shocked when they saw the two people holding the crown prince and the crown prince's grandson hostage.

They had thought of countless betrayals in their minds, but they had never thought that the betrayers would be these two people.

These two men followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back from the north. After following him for many years, they both became marquises. One of them is the commander of the Royal Guards, and the other is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's personal bodyguard.

What price did the King of Han pay to make these two people betray His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Zhu Zhanjun also pretended to be in pain, looking at Xiaohu and Ergou who stood up: "I don't think I have treated you badly, why do you choose to do this."

The two of them fell silent for a long time before Xiao Hu spoke up, "If it weren't for Brother Liangzi's incident, we brothers would be loyal to you forever, but the way you handled Brother Liangzi's incident has chilled our hearts."

"When the birds are gone, the bows will be put away. We don't know if you will kill us to silence us because of the secrets of the past when you become the emperor one day."

"The emperor is ruthless. If it were just us, we would have given you our lives, and at worst we would return them to you." "But we have wives, children, and families. We can die, but they can't."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. For the sake of our family, we can only choose this path."

After hearing such a reason, many officials found it ridiculous and looked at the two as if they were fools.

Just because of a flimsy excuse, they betrayed the Crown Prince who had helped them rise to power.

You can betray such a great favor, why should the King of Han trust you? Aren't you afraid that you will be held accountable in the future?

Although I was speechless, the fact was that the two of them really betrayed me.

At the same time, they also understood why the Guards Corps did not send anyone to check for rescue despite the sound of gunfire so close.

Their superior is here and can stop their actions as soon as he receives the order.

After all, in the minds of the soldiers, their superiors' words are orders from the crown prince. They may have doubts, but they will never disobey orders.

"My late emperor, God wants the Ming Dynasty to be destroyed!"

Yang Shiqi crawled to the coffin on his knees, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and shouted loudly with tears streaming down his face.

The Ming Dynasty had just unified the world, and the people in various places were still not settled. The death of the emperor had already had some impact on all parties, and now a coup had occurred.

I am afraid that the old man’s years of hard work will be wasted because of this situation. The Ming Dynasty may very likely return to its previous state, and may even become the common enemy of other conquered and resentful races.

The more Yang Shiqi thought about it, the sadder he felt. He looked at the old man's spirit tablet and gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, this old minister is here."

With a roar, he stood up and rushed towards the coffin.

Zhu Gaoxu was startled and shouted: "Stop him, don't dirty my father's coffin."

Several soldiers who were nearby stepped forward and pressed Yang Shiqi to the ground.

Looking at Yang Shiqi who kept struggling and begging for death several times, Zhu Gaoxu secretly broke into a cold sweat. If this old man died, his eldest brother would scold him to death.

"Keep them under guard. Don't let anyone escape. Focus on my eldest brother and my nephew. Don't let them die."

Zhu Gaoxu gave some orders and looked at the other officials: "You are all my loyal ministers. The new dynasty is in need of talents. As long as you are willing to submit to me, I will forgive you for what happened before. Not only can you keep your positions, but if you satisfy me, I can make you a higher position and make you a marquis or a prime minister."

After saying that, he waved his hand and strode away with his soldiers, leaving Xiaohu to watch over everyone.

Ergou took Zhu Pangpang and Zhu Zhanjun to other tents.

"My Lord, Your Highness!"

Yang Shiqi looked at the two people being taken away and roared loudly in anger. Many officials also roared in anger.

However, more officials' eyes moved slightly, and no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

The two were escorted out of the tent and brought to a specially prepared command room next door, where the soldiers quickly let go of their hands.

Zhu Zhanjun loosened his wrist, looked at Zhu Gaoxu who was drinking water, and said jokingly with a smile: "Second Uncle, you could have made it look real just now."

"Stop it, you little brat." Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes and pointed at his head. "This is a head, not a urinal. If I really dare to mistake the fake for the real thing, I can 100% guarantee that my head will be blown up by a sniper rifle in the next moment."

"hehe!"

Zhu Zhanjun chuckled and did not comment.

"How's the third brother doing?"

Zhu Pangpang looked helplessly at the uncle and nephew who were still testing each other, and asked about the situation of Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui.

"I have already asked, the third brother has successfully taken over the capital, and is now forcing the newspaper staff to issue official documents to the world."

Hearing that everything was going according to plan, Fatty Zhu nodded first, then said in distress: "In order to completely clean up those rats, we brothers are really shameless. If the people know about it after it's over, I don't know how they will scold us."

"Hey, brother, don't talk nonsense." Zhu Gaoxu quickly stretched out his hand to correct him: "They only scold you, the future emperor, and will not scold me, who is cooperating in the play. Brother, don't think of dragging me into it."

"If I get stabbed in the back by someone, I'll tell you everything about you."

Fatty Zhu rolled his eyes in annoyance, turned to Zhu Zhanjun and said, "Take it easy, don't get carried away."

Zhu Zhanjun waved his hand, "Don't worry, Dad. Everything is going as planned."

This rebellion plan was arranged by Zhu Zhanjun, and its main purposes were two-fold.

First, thoroughly eliminate the restless factors in the Ming Dynasty, such as the princes and local landlords.

Second, there are the secret rebels in the newly occupied territories.

Usually they hide in the mountains, forests and among the people, making it very difficult for the Jinyiwei to capture them.

In order to solve the problem once and for all and not delay the progress of other worlds, Zhu Zhanjun decided to stage a play to lure out all these guys and catch them all in one fell swoop, completely eliminating the trouble. (End of this chapter)
