Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 283 Your Majesty is going to Huguang
Here, Li Mingrui and Ye Shuo retreated first, and Wu Jin told the truth at this time: "Return to your majesty, we did not let him in, the king of Chu, according to our people's report, the king of Chu was killed by Miss Wei." My cousin invited us in, and His Majesty's order for us was to spy on us and not let Miss Wei find out, so we didn't dare to act without authorization."

"But we have found out that Miss Wei's cousin is Ruan Dacheng who visited Miss Wei that day. This Ruan Dacheng is indeed related to Wei Ge's hometown, but we found that this Ruan Dacheng has been very close to the King of Chu these days. We even had secret meetings several times together, and this Ruan Dacheng was very careful every time he had secret meetings with Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu. Our people had no way of finding out the news, but what is certain is that these two people must be doing something shady people's business."

After Zhu Youxiao heard about it, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Although he had gotten along with Chu King Zhu Huakui these days, he didn't know much about Chu King Zhu Huakui. drowned in the water and died.

Regarding these pitiful and hateful vassal kings, Zhu Youxiao did not fully believe that he could really give up his own interests, but instead fulfilled the revival of the Ming Dynasty.In history, if Zhu Huakui, king of Chu, was willing to spend half of the money, he would not end up in a tragic death.

Now, according to Wu Jin's words, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, seems to be playing tricks for himself. Ruan Dacheng is undoubtedly a speculator, and now he has not become an official because of the taxation issue. To serve himself, but Zhu Youxiao believes that Ruan Dacheng will definitely not be willing to be lonely.

"What can these two people do together?" Zhu Youxiao murmured to himself, and immediately ordered: "I will pass on my order to summon Chu King Zhu Youxiao to the palace immediately, and at the same time order Liu Kongzhao and Qin Botong Block Jinling City and not allow the King of Chu to leave Jinling City, and also bring Miss Wei into the palace, if she refuses, bring her back by force!"

Zhu Youxiao asked Wu Jin again after speaking: "Who is the governor of Huguang now? Has this Ruan Dacheng been in contact with anyone in the recent period? What is their relationship? Tell me, especially the vassals who have been in contact with Fan Wencheng during this period of time."

Zhu Youxiao knew that when the pace of his reform touched the core interests of these vested interest groups, he would inevitably be blocked and rebounded by them, and even nationwide chaos would occur.In this case, it will definitely be detrimental to the entire Ming Dynasty, and it will even give the Guanning Army under Wu Xiang of the Manchu Qing Dynasty an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's Hou Xun. This person originally belonged to the Donglin Party, but he later rebelled against the Donglin Party like Qian Ge Lao. He had some friendship with Ruan Dacheng, but the two had also fought each other in the court," said Wu Jinzheng. Suddenly, there was a sound of rustling footsteps outside, and Wu Jin, who had a keen hearing, jumped out.

Not long after, Wu Jin walked towards Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that Zhu Huakui, King of Chu, left Jinling City overnight, and Ruan Dacheng and Miss Wei also disappeared suddenly. According to the guard at the city gate, Tonight, someone took four or five people out of the city in the name of the king of Chu."

"Actually left", Zhu Youxiao's tone was a little cold, and a big spy like Wu Jin couldn't help but hold his breath: "It seems that the soldiers guarding the city didn't know the reason for these people in advance, and I don't know if Your Majesty wants us People from Dongchang went to chase them back."

"No need, it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let them go if they want to go, and let us give him a one-stop job, regardless of what they do, whether it's treason or a plot When we entered Jingqin King, we pretended not to know, while secretly preparing, and sent people to pass orders to the commanders of the imperial guards everywhere, asking them to slowly approach the Huguang area for various reasons, so that he would be caught off guard!"

As soon as Zhu Youxiao said that, he ordered Wang Chengen to make preparations. Now that everything that should be done in Jiangnan has been done, it is time to go to Huguang, not only because of Wei Miner and Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, but also Zhang Juzheng of Jiangling in Huguang, etc. .Moreover, Huguang, as an important grain base of Ming Dynasty, has always been known as Huguang cooked and the world is full. It is also necessary for Zhu Youxiao to check the situation here.

……

The road from Jinling City to the capital is still under construction, and because the amount of labor is used to calculate the amount of wages, the enthusiasm of hiring migrant workers to participate in road construction is very high. Now the section from Jinling City to Jurong is already available, and Wei Miner Now he is sitting in a four-wheeled carriage, driven by his enthusiastic cousin Ruan Dacheng himself, and is rapidly heading towards Huguang in the dark.

Wei Min'er looked outside, looking a little preoccupied.

She didn't understand why her cousin Ruan Dacheng was in a hurry to follow him to Huguang, and even left overnight, but she finally followed her cousin's wishes, because she was afraid of seeing Zhu Youxiao again, and she was afraid of seeing Zhu Youxiao again. Zhu Youxiao will regret going to Chu Huakui as a concubine, even though the information she got from Ruan Dacheng now is that it was Zhu Youxiao's will that she married Chu Wang Zhu Huakui as a concubine.

Zhu Huakui, King of Chu, was overjoyed when he learned that Wei Miner agreed to be his concubine and came to Huguang on his own initiative. Even when he came to Huguang, he was very calm and calm when he started rebellion, not as timid as before , he decided that he would regain his strength and be the master of the world.

As soon as Zhu Huakui, king of Chu, met with Zuo Liangyu as soon as he arrived in Wuchang City, and promised that Zuo Liangyu would be able to crack the soil and become a marquis in the future, Zuo Liangyu agreed to Zhu Huakui, king of Chu, and personally led the Three thousand soldiers from the direct line came to support King Zhu Huakui of Chu, and King Zhu Huakui of Chu himself also spent money to recruit more than 0 people, plus thousands of guards from his palace, a total of more than 5000 troops just happened to be gathered. , Huguanglai in this deep hinterland is already a military force that cannot be underestimated.

At the same time, Wu Jin also reported the latest news to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that Zhu Huakui, king of Chu, has been in close contact with Zuo Liangyu's department after returning to Huguang."

"Added another Zuo Liangyu, which is interesting. Did Zhu Huakui, king of Chu, get carried away? He actually dared to rebel!"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but said with a smile, and said:

"It is now clear that Hou Xun, governor of Huguang, and Zuo Liangyu are not trustworthy, and they are also the most likely collusion with King Zhu Huakui of Chu. What we have to do now is to use the imperial guards to take decisive action against them. Measures, so that his rebellion will be nipped in the bud, and on the other hand, it will prevent other feudal lords from taking advantage of this opportunity to make trouble."

When Zhu Youxiao said this, Wu Jin bowed his hands and said yes, and said: "Your Majesty, there is something I dare not hide from you. Miss Wei has agreed to Chu Huakui's marriage proposal, and now it seems that this is the reason for rushing to Chu."
