The Ming Dynasty: Starting with taking Old Zhu on a journey to the future

"Your Highness will likely face punishment upon your arrival in the capital."

People sit at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

"The Crown Prince has just passed away, and the court is in turmoil. After Your Highness Prince Yan returns to the capital, please remember to act with caution."

Zhu Di nodded: "I understand."

The purpose of arresting Aru Temur and Nairbuqa was to weaken his military power.

Although he was unwilling for his father to pass the throne to a mere child.

But there was nothing that could be done.

"Send word to Zhang Yu, Commander of the Left Guard of Yanshan; Tang Yun, Commander of the Right Guard of Yanshan; Xue Tai, Assistant Commander of the Right Guard of Yanshan; and Zhu Neng, Commander of the Central Army of Yanshan... to come to the Prince's residence immediately!"

Yanshanwei was his personal guard.

It is also his core military force.

Yanshanwei consisted of three guards: left, center, and right.

Aru Temur became the commander of the Yanshan Central Guard, while Nairbuqa became the deputy commander of the Yanshan Central Guard.

As time went on.

Generals Zhang Yu, Tang Yun, Xue Tai, Zhu Neng, and others arrived at the Prince of Yan's residence.

By the time all the generals had gathered, it was already evening.

Looking around at the people, Zhang Yu noticed that the Central Army Commander and the Deputy Commander were not present.

The rest are basically all present.

At this moment, Zhu Di slowly walked into the main hall and came to the front.

He glanced at the assembled generals and slowly asked, "Zhang Yu, is everyone here?"

Zhang Yu stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, Aru Temur and Nairbuhua are absent."

Zhu Di remained silent for a moment.

"Now that everyone has arrived, I have something to announce to you all."

Are all here? Aren't there still two people missing?

"His Majesty has issued a secret edict stating that Aru Temur, the commander of the Yanshan Central Guard, and Nairbuhua, the deputy commander of the Yanshan Central Guard, are suspected of plotting a rebellion."

This statement came out.

Xuetai, the Right Guard Commander who was also a Mongol, immediately shouted, "Treason? How could that be?!"

"You all know the character of Aru Timur and Nairbuqa!"

"If they were plotting a rebellion, how could we, their brothers, not know?!"

"Your Highness, this is a false accusation! A blatant false accusation!"

The main room instantly descended into chaos.

Many of the generals of Yanshan Guard were Mongols.

Therefore, upon learning that Aru Timur and Nairbuqa had been unjustly accused of treason, they...

Naturally, there are significant conflicts.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Di angrily shouted, "Shut up, all of you!"

"This is the Emperor's decree! Do you intend to disobey it?!"

"I know you don't believe those two would rebel, and I don't believe it either!"

"But we don't believe it's useless!"

"We must carry out the imperial decree!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't that confirm the charge of plotting a rebellion?!"

These words infuriated the generals, but their opposition noticeably diminished.

Zhu Di continued, "I will accompany them when they are escorted to the capital this time."

"I do not believe my brother would rebel!"

His words touched the hearts of all the generals.

Xu Huizu was leaning against the windowsill outside the house at that moment.

Hearing Zhu Di's indignant voice, he frowned deeply.

At this moment, Xu Miaoyun appeared behind him without his noticing.

Xu Huizu glanced at it and murmured, "I don't like the Prince of Yan's mannerisms."

It was the emperor's will to accompany them to the capital.

But when it came to Zhu Di...

However, this led him to voluntarily go to the capital to protect his brother and even clear his name.

Such tactics to win people's hearts should not be underestimated.

Xu Miaoyun scoffed, "He is the Prince of Yan. How can he guard the border if he doesn't win over the generals?"

Xu Huizu responded calmly.

"I also command troops, and winning over the hearts of generals and soldiers are two different things."

"In my opinion, the Prince of Yan's position in the hearts of these Mongol generals has already surpassed that of the imperial court."

"If the Prince of Yan were to rebel, they would probably choose to follow without hesitation."

As Xu Miaoyun listened to her younger brother's words, her eyes gradually sharpened.

"He's your brother-in-law, how could you make such a assumption!"

Seeing that his sister was a little angry, Xu Huizu crossed his arms.

He murmured, "If he weren't my brother-in-law, I would have reported what happened today to His Majesty."

After saying that, Xu Huizu set off to go back to his room to sleep.

As he passed by Xu Miaoyun, Xu Huizu paused for a moment and said, "Sister, you should try to persuade His Highness Prince Yan. What if one day Prince Yan really harbors rebellious intentions?"

"I will personally lead the troops to capture Beiping, and then... kill him."

"Please let him know what's best for himself."

After saying this, Xu Huizu left the main room.

Xu Miaoyun sighed softly, her gaze fixed on Zhu Di in the inner room.

My feelings are complicated.

The following day, with Zhu Di's cooperation, Xu Huizu easily arrested Aru Temur and Nairbuqa.

Looking at the two men in the prison cart, Zhu Di promised, "You two don't need to worry. I will accompany you on this journey, until we arrive in Nanjing."

"I will inform the Emperor that neither of you ever had any intention of treason, and clear your names."

Arutemur and Nairbuhua exchanged a glance.

He looked at Zhu Di with great excitement: "Thank you, Prince Yan!"

Because they had acquaintances with them, the two were less at odds.

With the Prince of Yan as guarantor, the injustice will surely be cleared!

The body is not afraid of the shadow slanting.

They did not plot a rebellion, so naturally they were not afraid of being investigated.

"General Tang, I'll temporarily entrust Yanshan Guard to you."

Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng accompanied him on this trip, leaving only Tang Yun as the commander of the Yanshan Three Guards.

Tang Yun was the oldest and had a calm personality, so he felt at ease entrusting the Yanshan Guard to Tang Yun.

Tang Yun replied in a deep voice, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will not allow the Yanshan Guard to neglect their training."

After saying goodbye to Yao Guangxiao, Xu Miaoyun and others.

Zhu Di then mounted his horse and set off back to the capital.

……

The capital city.

The Imperial Guard's prison.

Jiang Huan slowly walked into Lan Yu's cell and ordered the cell door to be opened.

Looking at Lan Yu, who was lying asleep among the straw, barely alive.

Jiang Huan slowly squatted down and patted Lan Yu's face: "Wake up."

Lan Yu was awakened.

Because of Lan Chen, Lan Yu has not suffered torture at the hands of the Embroidered Uniform Guard these days.

I feel a little better now; at least I can get a good night's sleep.

Their mental state has also improved slightly.

Looking at Jiang Huan in front of him, Lan Yu still did not hide his arrogance: "Bring on whatever torture you want, I can take it."

Jiang Huan gave a soft snort.

"Duke of Liang, what time is it, and you are still so arrogant."

"That makes sense. If you hadn't been so arrogant, you wouldn't have become the chicken His Majesty killed."

"The Jinyiwei are least afraid of stubborn guys like you."

Jiang Huan slowly stood up: "However, I'm not here to torment you today."

"Tomorrow, the Crown Prince and Zhan Hui, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, will come to interrogate you."

"We want you to name your accomplices; we hope you can name Zhan Hui."

Lan Yu leaned against the wall.

He scoffed, "You want me to talk? I'm not going to."

Opposing Jiang Huan was the only thing that brought him joy in the cold prison of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Jiang Huan was not angry, but smiled slightly: "At today's court meeting, Zhan Hui impeached me, saying that I released a traitorous official."

Lan Yu laughed loudly: "Hahaha, good riddance!"

Jiang Huan glanced at him lightly: "So far, I've only brought one person out of the Embroidered Uniform Guard prison. You know that person; his name is Lan Chen."
