My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 173

Zhu Sui was walking restlessly in the study.

Zhu Di summoned him to the capital, and he dared not refuse to go, but what Zhu Yuexiu said made him worry that if he went to the capital, he would be falling into a trap.

This made Zhu Sui regret for a while. If he knew this, he should have restrained himself before, but it is too late to regret now.

"Uncle Nineteen, now is not the time to hesitate, whether you want to go or not, you should make a plan early!"

At this moment, Zhu Yuexiu who was beside him suddenly spoke again.

"Why do I feel that you seem to hope that I won't go?"

Zhu Wei suddenly turned around and looked at Zhu Yuexuan and asked.

Facing Zhu Wei's suspicion, Zhu Yuexiu put away his smile and said solemnly: "You are my real uncle. You took me in when I was most helpless, so I naturally have to think about you!"

"You will be so kind?"

Zhu Wei still didn't believe it, it was true that he took in Zhu Yuexiu, but mainly to use him, so he didn't believe that Zhu Yuexiu would be grateful to him at all.

"If you think I have bad intentions, then follow His Majesty's orders and go to the capital. If any accident happens, don't blame my nephew for not reminding me."

Zhu Yuexiu sighed, and stepped back after speaking, as if she was very disappointed with Zhu Suo's suspicion.

"Okay, you go back first, I have to think about it carefully!"

Zhu Wei waved to Zhu Yuexiu.

"Nephew, leave!"

Zhu Yuexiu didn't say any more, she cupped her hands and left the study.

After Zhu Yuexiu left, Zhu Wei was even more restless by himself, and finally ordered outside: "Come here, go and invite the governor Zhang Xing!"

Zhang Xing is the attendant governor of King Gu's mansion, in charge of the guards of King Gu's subordinates, and also Zhu Suo's most trusted subordinate. Now he wants to hear the other party's opinion.

Soon, Zhang Xing came to Gu Wang's study, and saw that the other party was tall, resolute, and looked like a general.

In fact, Zhang Xing is indeed a good general. King Gu was enshrined in the Xuan Mansion back then, and he was also one of the nine frontier fortress kings. Zhang Xing was in charge of commanding the local heavy troops in the Xuan Mansion. He has been following Zhu Wei all these years. It can be said that Is loyal.

"See Your Majesty!"

Zhang Xing strode into the study room, and solemnly saluted Zhu Wei.

"Don't be too polite, let's take a look at this!"

Zhu Wei handed the imperial decree to Zhang Xingdao.

Zhang Xing took the imperial decree and looked at it, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty pays homage to Emperor Taizu, please go with King Zhou and King Shu, this is enough to show that Your Majesty values ​​you!"

"Don't you think there's some conspiracy here?"

Zhu Wei frowned and asked.

"This……"

When Zhang Xing heard the words, he suddenly understood that Zhu Bing had a guilty conscience. After all, Zhang Xing couldn't be more clear about what he did in Changsha. Chang Shi Yu Tinggang was killed, so Zhang Xing did not dare to persuade him, lest he would be killed.

"My lord, do you mean to go or not?"

Zhang Xing asked tentatively, on this kind of matter, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear that if he accidentally offended Zhu Wei, he would lose his life.

"I just couldn't make up my mind, so I asked you to discuss it!"

Zhu Wei said angrily.

Hearing that the other party had no idea, Zhang Xing also heaved a sigh of relief, hesitated for a while, and then said: "If you want me to say, you can go anyway, my lord. After all, this is an imperial edict issued by His Majesty himself. If you don't go, won't you be resisting the edict?" Do not comply?"

"Then what if His Majesty arrests me and charges me?"

Zhu Wei asked angrily again.

"What crime are you guilty of? There are dense water networks near Changsha, and water pirates are rampant. You are preparing your military in Changsha to eliminate water pirates and protect the environment and the people. What is your crime?"

Zhang Xing asked back with a righteous face.

Although Zhang Xing is a military general, he is quite astute, otherwise he would not be attracted by Zhu Suo as his confidant.

"Yup!"

Zhu Wei's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he recruited troops and built powerful crossbow warships, it can be said that he was for the purpose of eradicating water pirates, even if his approach was more radical, he would not be held accountable.

"Wait, there is also the matter of Zhu Yuexiu. I told people before that he is Emperor Jianwen."

Zhu Wei suddenly thought of Zhu Yuexiu again, and immediately frowned again.

"It's not a big deal. The King of Chongyang County looks like Emperor Jianwen. After you saw your nephew, you made a few jokes. Could it be that His Majesty can punish you for these few words?"

Zhang Xing said again evasively.

"Makes sense!"

Zhu Sui slapped his hands excitedly when he heard this, as long as he killed himself, he was joking, and in his capacity, no one could do anything to him.

"No! There is one more thing I almost forgot!"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhu Suo's face suddenly changed drastically.

"What did your lord forget?"

Zhang Xing asked curiously, although he was Zhu Suo's confidant, but Zhu Suo usually acted recklessly and would not discuss many things with him.

"I...I wrote a letter to the King of Shu before, trying to force him to form an alliance with me by taking advantage of Yuexiu's affairs, and to conspire with me for great things."

Zhu Wei said a little embarrassedly, he was indeed a little impulsive about this matter.

"I……"

After Zhang Xing heard this, he wanted to scold his mother, rebelling against such a thing, and Zhu Bing even wanted to drag the King of Shu, so isn't he afraid that the King of Shu would sell him?

"What did the King of Shu say?"

Zhang Xing held back his anger and asked again.

"Hmph, I get angry when I mention this!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Wei slapped the table at this moment and said angrily: "He is the elder brother of one of my mother's compatriots, but it turned out that he was fine. If he disagreed, he even sent someone to report me. Fortunately, I knew about this in advance, so I sent someone to report me." Someone went to intercept and kill the person who sent the letter, and it should have succeeded by now."

"Should? So it is possible that the report letter from King Shu has been sent to His Majesty?"

Zhang Xing was completely speechless at this time, and even wished to find a piece of tofu to kill him, so as not to be implicated by Zhu Bing in the future, and end up being executed all over the house.

"The people who go to intercept and kill are very powerful. It should be impossible to fail, but this time His Majesty summoned me to go to Beijing with the King of Shu. If he denounces me face to face, it will be terrible!"

At the end of Zhu Wei's speech, he also showed despair, and he couldn't hide his intention to rebel.

When people are in despair, they tend to do some crazy things, and this is also the case with Zhu Wei. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "No, I can't just wait like this!"

"My lord, you don't want to..."

Zhang Xing was taken aback when he heard the words. Although he knew that Zhu Sui had a different intention and even started preparing for the rebellion early, when this day really came, he still felt extremely terrified.

"What? You don't want to?"

Zhu Bing stared at Zhang Xing with crazy eyes and asked.

"The subordinates are willing to follow the prince around!"

Zhang Xing expressed his loyalty without hesitation, because he knew that as long as he hesitated a little, what awaited him would be death!
