Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

Zhu Cunji was scolded and immediately looked embarrassed.

"Father, please calm down. My second brother is thinking this way for the good of our Qin lineage."

Zhu Cunshu seemed to smell a subtle scent from the old man's tone.

Zhu Yi suppressed his anger and continued:

"The plague is rampant in Taiyuan now, and the city's garrison is less than a thousand. I heard from the angel that many of the three thousand Jinyiwei brought by the emperor have also fallen ill."

"The main force of Taiyuan Prefecture is stationed in Zhenxi Guard and Zhenwu Guard, which are 400 to 500 miles away from Taiyuan City. Even the nearest Ninghua is more than 300 miles away..."

The more Zhu Cunshu listened, the more excited he became.

He finally knew what that subtle scent he had just smelled was!

Father is going to do the Jingnan Rebellion all over again!

If his father was Emperor Chengzu, then wouldn’t Zhu Cunshu be Emperor Renzong?

Zhu Cunshu has been the Crown Prince of Qin for nearly twenty years, and the old man is still in good health. It's really painful for me to wait!

Now it seems that it would be worth waiting for twenty years to get the throne!

The more he thought about it, the harder it was to suppress his excitement. He could only feel a powerful breath surging in his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

"Father...Father is saying that we should send troops to Taiyuan, conquer Tianqi and the vassal states, follow the example of Emperor Chengzu, and create another prosperous Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Cunshu's voice trembled a little.

Zhu Yizhu looked at his eldest son, quite satisfied, and pointed at Zhu Cunji and others.

"Humph! What a bunch of losers! Look at them! Look at them! Learn from your big brother!"

Zhu Cunji was shocked when he heard his elder brother's words.

He fell to the ground in panic and shouted, "Father! You must not do this! The Emperor Tianqi is a master of martial arts and has many brave generals. He is not comparable to the Emperor Jianwen!"

Zhu Yizhu was so furious when he saw this that he picked up the inkstone on the jade table and smashed it over.

Whoosh!

The inkstone hit Zhu Cunji's forehead with a bang, then fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

"You coward! Believe it or not, I will beat you to death!"

"Father, please calm down! Father, please calm down! My third brother is also concerned about the family and is not deliberately disobeying me."

As Zhu Cunshu spoke, he stepped forward and pulled Zhu Cunji back.

Zhu Cunji covered his bleeding forehead and tried to persuade him again: "Father..."

"Stop talking, third brother!" Zhu Cunshu quickly covered his mouth.

The second son, Zhu Cunji, ignored them and excitedly stepped forward and saluted: "Father wants to do something big, and I am willing to be the pioneer!"

Seeing this, others were also excited and followed suit.

Many of their sons were given titles such as prince, and even fewer were given the title of general.

If this great thing succeeds, they will all be princes!

And listening to my father's analysis just now, the chances of success are very high.

If my father, an old man, dares to take a risk, why shouldn’t they dare?

So, everyone excitedly shouted: "Children are willing to be pioneers!"

Zhu Yizhu was very satisfied when he saw this.

He stood up, his voice loud and full of passion.

"If we defend Xi'an, we will die. If we launch a great movement, we will die too!"

"Tianqi is critically ill, and all the tribes have gathered together. This is a godsend opportunity!"

"If God doesn't take it, you will be blamed for it; if you don't take it, you will suffer the disaster!"

"The world is in chaos and the country is in danger. I am determined to launch a surprise attack on Taiyuan, put down the rebellion, save the country, and revive the Ming Dynasty!"

His words excited the crowd and they all agreed with him.

"Suppress the rebellion and save the nation, revive the Ming Dynasty!"

Seeing that his disciples were eager to fight, Zhu Yizhu immediately began to issue tasks.

"Zhu Cunshu, Zhu Cunji, Zhu Cunxun, Zhu Cunxun... The eight of you will each lead a thousand soldiers. At nightfall, you will split into several groups and quietly leave the north gate."

"We disguised ourselves as bandits and headed straight for Yan'an Prefecture. We entered Pingyang from Yonghe Pass and went to Fenzhou. We broke up into smaller groups and mixed in with the disaster victims before joining forces in Taiyuan City..."

Zhu Cunji and others were very excited after receiving the task.

"Children take orders!"

Zhu Yi pointed at the bloodied Zhu Cunji and said coldly, "You good-for-nothing! Stay in Xi'an and look after the house!"

Zhu Cunji felt sad. He responded in a low voice and left the hall with his other brothers.

After everyone left, Zhu Yizhu slowly walked out of Chengyun Hall.

Standing at the tall entrance of the hall, his gaze was like an eagle's eyes, passing through layers of steps, wide squares, mottled palace walls and Xiao walls, and reaching the colorful clouds in the distant sky.

At this moment, he felt like he was standing on the top of the Forbidden City, overlooking the entire Ming Dynasty.

smug......

Chapter 407 What’s going on?

It was ninth day after the edict was issued.

The imperial edict finally arrived at Hengzhou, the fiefdom of Prince Gui, which was the farthest from Taiyuan.

He didn't know how many horses had died or how many post stations the angel had passed through. When the angel finally arrived in Hengzhou and stood in front of the magnificent Prince Gui's Palace, he was shocked.

"This is so damn impressive!"

He also heard that the construction of the Prince of Gui's Palace began in the second year of the Tianqi reign, took six years to complete, cost 50 taels of silver, and was only completed last year.

Although the area is not as large as that of the Prince of Dai's Palace, it is new and luxurious. It seems that the money was not wasted.

Hengzhou is located at the southernmost tip of Huguang. Normally, even senior officials can’t be seen there, let alone angels.

Upon hearing the news, Prince Gui Zhu Changying immediately led his family out of the house to welcome him.

After entering the palace and hearing that it was a secret decree, he quickly dismissed everyone and knelt down to receive the order.

"Your Majesty has said that although this edict is called a secret edict, it is only secret when the edict is received. After receiving the edict, whether the contents of the edict are secret or not is up to the person who receives the edict to decide."

This is a sentence that every angel will add after officially conveying his message.

Zhu Changying didn't understand the meaning and didn't want to delve into it, but when he heard that the emperor was critically ill, he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Your Majesty! Heaven has been so unkind to you!"

In terms of seniority, the current Majesty is his nephew.

This child is suffering!

He had been on the throne for eight years. He was bullied by ministers in the court, had no children in the harem, and nearly died last year after falling into the water and becoming ill.

It hasn’t even been a year yet, how come we’ve been hit by the plague again!

Could it be that the King of Hell sent the Black and White Impermanence to line up to take him away?

It was he who bestowed upon me the title of King of Gui.

When he thought of this, Zhu Changying couldn't stop his tears from falling.

After giving the angel twenty taels of silver, he did not hesitate and hurriedly set off with his two beloved sons Zhu Youyu and Zhu Youlang and dozens of servants, leaving the luxurious palace where he had lived for less than a year.

In this way, various princes came to Jin, bringing with them a wide variety of things.

Many came with only themselves;

Some are like Zhu Zhishu, the King of Shu, who brought a bunch of beauties with him;

Some, like the King of Gui, came with his son;

Some, like the King of Qin, came with not only his sons but also his troops;

There were also those like Prince Lu who not only brought his family but also all his wealth;

What's more, Zhu Shouhong, the Prince of Lu, brought a hammer directly...

It is said that this is the hammer that Gongshu Pan, the ancient master of craftsmanship, used to chisel wood. Your Majesty is very fond of carpentry, and you will surely be very pleased to receive it, and perhaps your condition will get better.

In short, dozens of vassal kings each had their own thoughts.

The speed at which this vassal king entered Jin could not be compared with the speed at which the angel delivered the imperial edict.

Just like Prince Shen and Prince Zhao, who were the closest, it took them four days to arrive after receiving the order.

As Prince Lu was traveling with his family and cartloads of property, his speed was even slower. It took him six days of travel before he could see Taiyuan city in the distance.

The day he arrived in Taiyuan City was the second day after the three Gui Wangs and their sons set out on their journey.

That was August 12, the eighth year of the Tianqi reign.

Among the various groups of people that gathered in Taiyuan City from all directions, the four groups led by Li Dingguo, Zhang Nianting, Man Gui and Wang Chengen were the fastest, and they all arrived early this morning.

Li Dingguo and his men had received Zhu Youxiao's secret order early on, and divided their elite troops into small groups and hid outside the city on standby.

Wang Chengen was not able to see the emperor, but was directly asked to rest in other side halls in the palace.

At this moment, the afternoon sun shines on the disaster relief area outside the city, appearing bright and peaceful.

This place is no longer chaotic, but has become well organized.

Wu Youxing had just finished treating a critically ill patient.

He removed the cupping jars from the patients one by one, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Teacher, wipe your sweat." The assistant doctor Cao Yu beside him handed him a handkerchief.

He took the handkerchief and wiped his forehead, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"This time the epidemic has finally been brought under control. The only patients left who need treatment are those with complications caused by the disease."

"It's all thanks to the teacher! You worked day and night for nearly ten days, and even the most severe plague was eliminated!" Cao Yu said with a smile.

"You little girl, you only know how to talk nonsense, why don't you go to work."

Cao Yu did not leave immediately, but pointed to the rows of thatched houses more than a hundred meters away and asked curiously.

"Teacher, you said there are so many thatched houses built there recently. What are they used for? I don't see many people living in them. How strange!"

Wu Youxing took a look at the thatched huts and then gave them a lecture.

"We just need to practice medicine and treat illnesses, and don't worry about other things. Those are arranged by the Jinyiwei, and we have no right to interfere."

Not getting the answer he wanted, Cao Yu curled his lips and continued to look at the newly built thatched houses, falling into deep thought.

The epidemic has now been completely under control and the disease is no longer spreading.

The sick victims are basically fully recovered and only need to rest for a few more days to recover.

There are enough people here now, so she doesn't need to be busy at all. It is normal for her to occasionally daydream when she has free time.

While she was lost in thought, a huge team slowly appeared in her sight, coming from the south. There were many people and vehicles, heading towards the South City Gate, getting closer and closer to the thatched huts.

She was very curious, but it was inconvenient for her to leave her post to watch the fun. Her curiosity made her scratch her head.

The curtain of a carriage at the front of the team suddenly opened, and the fat and big-eared head of Prince Lu emerged.

"We're here! Hahaha! We've finally arrived in Taiyuan! That's great!"

He jumped out of the carriage in excitement, and due to the long time in the carriage and the heavy body, he almost sprained his ankle.

After staggering a few steps, he stood firm, and like a big fat penguin, he ran happily towards the city gate with his two fat generals.

After six days of bumpy ride, he finally arrived at the safest place. He was so happy.

"Stop! Who dares to trespass into the epidemic area?"

With a clang, a knife flashed.

Two figures suddenly jumped out and stopped him with swords drawn.

Wearing Feiyu uniform and embroidered spring sword, these are your Majesty's Imperial Guards!
