Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Chapter 13 Father, You Chose the Wrong Person
"The prince is in the study." Zhou Hai said in a trembling voice.

Li Jinglong nodded, walked past Zhou Hai and headed towards the study.

study!

Zhu Bo is meditating.

He also knew that it was not good for him to continue to be immersed in the grief of Zhu Yuanzhang's death.

"boom!"

The door of the study was knocked open from outside.

"Huh?" Zhu Bai was startled and frowned immediately.

Before he could lose his temper, Wu's panicked face caught his eye: "Your Highness, this is bad. Li Jinglong is here. He said he's following Yunwen's orders to take you back to the capital."

"Li Jinglong?"

"Yun Wen?"

"Catch me and take me to Yingtian Prefecture?"

Zhu Bai was stunned, his eyes were a little surprised, and he felt confused.

He didn't do anything wrong, so why should he be arrested?
"Don't panic, ma'am. There might be some misunderstanding." Zhu Bo stepped forward, helped Wu up, and comforted her gently.

Wu's face was filled with worry. She said, "Your Highness, from the look on Li Jinglong's face, it doesn't look like there's any misunderstanding. Have you done anything recently?"

"I didn't do anything." Zhu Bai shook his head, frowning and looking grim. A thought popped up in his mind: "Could it be that my father really misjudged Yun Wen?"

He was extremely reluctant to believe this result.

But now the facts are before our eyes.

Without Zhu Yunwen's order, how could Li Jinglong dare to break into the palace with such fanfare and even threaten to arrest him and respond to Tianfu?
You must know that when you reach a certain position, you have to be responsible for what you say.

Without Zhu Yunwen's order, Li Jinglong acted in Zhu Yunwen's name without authorization. This crime was not light, and even though Li Jinglong was a duke, he could not bear it.

"Prince of Xiang!" Li Jinglong stepped into the study.

Zhu Bai glanced at Li Jinglong with an extremely calm expression, and said calmly, "Li Jinglong, I heard from my wife that you want to arrest me and take me to Yingtian Prefecture?"

"Yes, I am also following the orders of His Majesty. Please don't make things difficult for me, King Xiang." Li Jinglong nodded.

Looking at Zhu Bai in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. When he arrested King Zhou, King Qi and others, those people did not behave as calmly as Zhu Bai.

"Your Highness!" Wu reached out and grabbed Zhu Bo's clothes, looking very nervous.

Zhu Bo held Wu's hand, gave her a reassuring look, and said, "Tell me, what have I done wrong?"

"Prince of Hunan, Zhu Bo, intends to rebel and print money privately. He will be taken back to Beijing and handed over to the Ministry of Justice for trial." Li Jinglong knew that Zhu Bo's charges were slandered, but this was determined by Zhu Yunwen, and he had no way to stop it.

"I intend to rebel? Okay, okay, Li Jinglong, these are Zhu Yunwen's original words?" Zhu Bai's face was full of anger.

His loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is evident to all.

To accuse him of intending to rebel is simply to find a pretext for a crime.

Li Jinglong nodded and said, "Everything I said is your Majesty's original words."

"Slander, this is blatant slander. In this world, anyone can rebel, but my prince will never rebel." Wu didn't know where she got the courage from, she rushed forward from behind Zhu Bo and shouted loudly.

"Madam!" Zhu Bai stepped forward and grabbed Wu.

Wu looked anxious: "Prince, they..."

Zhu Bo shook his head slightly, stopping Wu from continuing to speak.

He turned around, looked at Li Jinglong, and said, "Duke Cao, can you give me a little time?"

"Okay!" Li Jinglong nodded and turned to leave.

Wu waited until Li Jinglong left, then grabbed Zhu Bo's clothes and said, "Your Highness, you can't go with them. The King of Zhou was exiled, and the King of Qi was imprisoned. If you go to Yingtian Prefecture, you will definitely not end well."

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'm not going anywhere." Zhu Bai touched Wu's cheek with a tender look on his face.

Wu nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Your Majesty, how about we go and seek refuge with the Prince of Yan?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bai's face darkened and he said, "Madam, I say it again, I, Zhu Bai, will never rebel!"

"But." Mrs. Wu wanted to persuade him.

"No buts!" Zhu Bo interrupted Wu and said, "Madam, I want to see the children. Please bring them here." "Okay!" Wu nodded and turned to leave.

Zhu Bo's expression was bitter as he murmured, "Father, you really made a mistake this time!"

Prince Xiang’s Mansion, living room!

Li Jinglong sat quietly with a calm expression.

Because of previous experiences, no one dared to say anything this time.

"Oh no, there's a fire, come and put it out!"

Suddenly, a panicked voice sounded from the palace.

Then, there were all kinds of exclamations.

"It's on fire, it's on fire."

"Quickly put out the fire."

"."

Li Jinglong frowned when he heard the noise coming from outside, and stood up to go outside to take a look.

"Sir, something bad has happened. The palace is on fire. Judging from the direction of the fire, it seems to be the study." A subordinate ran over and said in panic.

"study?"

"on fire?"

"not good!"

Li Jinglong was stunned at first, then his expression changed drastically and he ran quickly towards the study.

The order he received was to detain Zhu Bai and return to Yingtian Prefecture. Now a fire broke out in the palace. If Zhu Bai was burned to death, it would be a serious problem.

After a while.

Li Jinglong ran to the study and looked at Zhu Bai, who was wearing prince's clothes and standing in front of the study in a daze. He breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Zhu Bo is okay.

"What are you all standing there for? Why don't you hurry up and put out the fire?" Li Jinglong shouted at the servants around him.

"This"

A group of servants were carrying buckets of water, looking at each other in confusion.

It’s not that they don’t want to put out the fire, but Zhu Bo stopped them.

Li Jinglong didn't notice any of this. He walked up to Zhu Bai and asked, "Prince, are you okay?"

Zhu Bai turned his head and looked at Li Jinglong.

Li Jinglong's expression froze as he saw a pair of eyes that he would never forget.

Dull and lifeless, filled with a strong sense of death.

"The Walking Dead!"

A word appeared in Li Jinglong's mind.

"Your Highness!" Li Jinglong took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice.

An hour ago, he and Zhu Bai separated and left it to Zhu Bai to prepare, but what he didn't expect was that when they met again, Zhu Bai seemed like a completely different person.

Zhu Bo's eyes regained some vitality, and his face was filled with unconcealable sadness. He said, "Duke Cao, I'm sorry that I can't go with you to Yingtian Prefecture."

"Hmm?" Li Jinglong frowned.

Before he could ask, Zhu Bai continued, "When I was reading history books, I saw many officials who were slandered and imprisoned. Many of them chose to die to prove their loyalty. As the son of Taizu, how could I live in disgrace and be insulted by jailers just to survive?"

Li Jinglong looked at Zhu Bai in front of him, and a strong sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.

Things seem to be getting a little out of control.

Zhu Bai slowly raised his head and looked towards Yingtian Prefecture, tears silently falling from the corners of his eyes: "Father, you chose the wrong person!"
