My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 208 Zhu Yuexiu Has a Problem
Zhu Di didn't pay much attention to Zhu Yuexiu's sudden illness, because every time there was a sacrifice, there would be some old and weak people who couldn't hold on.

Moreover, Xiaoling is relatively close. He once went to Fengyang to sacrifice, and more officials fell ill along the way, so Zhu Di only sent an imperial doctor to treat Zhu Yuexiu.

Knowing that his son was ill, the King of Shu came to visit him in his room, but the sacrifice was about to begin, so he also left the Jufu Hall with Zhu Di soon.

Zhu Zhanhe also bid farewell to Zhu Yuexiu, and then followed Zhu Di through the Civil and Military Square Gate, passing through several mausoleum gates along the way, and finally came to a place called Xiangdian.

This is the main place for offering sacrifices, and further ahead are Fangcheng, Minglou and Baoding, which are forbidden places, and generally no one will go in, so as not to disturb the peace of Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife.

The hall of enjoyment is also called the hall of Xiaoling, where the gods of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma are enshrined. The whole hall is about ten feet high and a hundred steps wide, very majestic.

Zhu Di led all the civil and military officials to the front of the hall. After arranging their clothes again, Zhu Di stepped into the hall when the auspicious time came. At the same time, the three animals that had just been slaughtered were also sent to the altar for sacrifice.

Zhu Zhanhe was supposed to follow Zhu Gaochi and sacrifice with Zhu Di and the others, but he left the team at this moment, and then quietly came to the side hall on the right.

I saw a lot of Jinyi guards ambushing here in the side hall, Liu Mian was lying in front of the window with his ass pouted, quietly looking out like a voyeur.

Zhu Zhanhe stepped lightly, came to the window and looked out, saw the window was opened a crack, and he could see a pavilion outside, about dozens of steps away from the side hall, surrounded by trees, very inconspicuous.

"How is it, is there any movement?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked in a low voice to Liu Mian beside him.

"Not yet, but the lead wire is still there, and His Majesty has already started offering sacrifices. If they want to harm His Majesty, they will definitely do so at this time!"

Liu Mian also replied in a low voice.

Ever since they searched the Banshan Temple that day, Zhu Zhanhe and Liu Mian guessed that the other party would be unfavorable to Zhu Di during the sacrifice, so they took advantage of the opportunity of Jin Yiwei's entry into the imperial mausoleum to search all suspicious places.

As a result, they soon found out that a lot of explosives had been installed on the thick beams of the Xiangdian. If these explosives were detonated, it would be enough to blow up the entire Xiangdian, and everyone in the hall would be buried alive. .

And the lead wires of those explosives were connected to the gazebo outside the hall, and the lead wires were wrapped in oiled paper and covered with bamboo tubes, obviously enough preparations were made.

Of course, the explosives on the beams have been removed by Jin Yiwei, otherwise Zhu Zhanhe wouldn't dare to let Zhu Di and the others enter the palace.

But the fuse was kept, because they knew that someone would come to ignite the fuse. After all, there is no time bomb in this era, and everything has to be operated by people.

Zhu Zhanhe lay in front of the window, waiting patiently with Liu Mian and others.

Although Zhu Di's sacrifice will take some time, it will not last forever.

So after Zhu Zhanhe and the others waited for a while, they saw a person approaching the pavilion furtively. This person was wearing the clothes of a guard, who looked like a guard brought by someone.

"The only ones who are qualified to bring guards in are the King of Zhou and the King of Shu. Could it be that they are trying to harm His Majesty?"

Seeing that the other party turned out to be a guard, Liu Mian immediately said in shock.

This time when entering Xiaoling, apart from their royal guards, only King Zhou and King Shu brought a few guards. After all, as princes, they must have some guards of honor around them when they go out.

"The clothes of the guards in the palace are almost the same, and it is impossible to tell whose guard he is... No!"

The analyst Zhu Zhanhe who was calming down suddenly widened his eyes and shouted: "Both King Zhou and King Shu are with His Majesty, if they want to blow up Xiangdian, wouldn't they kill themselves too?"

"That's right, could it be that the remnants of Jianwen sneaked into the guards of the palace without them knowing?"

Liu Mian guessed again.

"Oops, Zhu Yuexiu has a problem!"

Zhu Zhanhe immediately thought of Zhu Yuexuan who was resting in the Jufu Hall, and the other party suddenly fell ill. Just now he just thought it was a bit too coincidental, but now that he thinks about it, the other party probably did not come to enjoy the hall because of illness.

And now the person who ignites the fuse is also the guard of the palace. Apart from the king of Shu and the king of Zhou, only Zhu Yuexiu can arrange his own people among the guards.

"What's wrong with Chongyang County King?"

Liu Mian was taken aback when he heard Zhu Zhanhe's words. He had been guarding Xiangdian all this time, but he didn't know that Zhu Yuexiu stayed in Jufudian to rest due to illness.

"It's too late to explain, catch that guard immediately, and you send a team to catch Zhu Yuexiu with me!"

Zhu Zhanhe ordered immediately.

Liu Mian didn't dare to ask more questions, and immediately ordered the side hall to send out a team, and then Zhu Zhanhe hurriedly led the people out of the side hall.

At the same time, the guard in the gazebo had already taken out the torch from his pocket. He pushed away a stone bench in the pavilion, pulled out the lead wire underneath, and immediately lit the fuse with the torch.

However, at this moment, the Jin Yiwei who were ambushing around rushed forward.

The guard didn't expect that there were so many Jin Yiwei ambushing around him. He just wanted to commit suicide when he realized it, but he was held down by the Jin Yiwei who jumped up, and then he was tied tightly with a rope, and even his mouth was covered with a piece of rag. gag lest he bite his tongue and kill himself.

Until he couldn't move his whole body, the guard's eyes finally showed despair. As long as a person like him falls into the hands of Jin Yiwei, his life will definitely be worse than death.

At the same time, Zhu Zhanhe led a group of Jinyi guards and rushed towards Gu Fudian.

He was careless just now, but he just felt that Zhu Yuexuan's illness was too coincidental, so he didn't think deeply about it.

In fact, this is normal, after all, Zhu Yuexiu is still the king of the county, and the possibility of him being Zhu Yunqi's son was ruled out before, so Zhu Zhanhe never doubted him.

If his illness is a coincidence, then the guards of the palace are the second coincidence. It is almost impossible for the two coincidences to meet. Even if Zhu Yuexiu is really innocent, Zhu Zhanhe must kill him. Control it, at worst, let him go after checking it out.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe secretly regretted it. If he knew this, he should have sent someone to watch Zhu Yuexiu just now, so that if the other party made a slight move, he would be able to take him down.

Gu Fu Dian is not too close to Xiang Dian, and soon Zhu Zhanhe rushed to Gu Fu Dian, when he rushed into the main hall, he did not see Zhu Yuexiu, only saw the imperial doctor sent by Zhu Di. Pack the medicine box.

Zhu Zhanhe stepped forward quickly, and eagerly asked the imperial doctor, "Where is the king of Chongyang County?"

"The king of the county said he was in a hurry, so he left just now!"

The imperial doctor was taken aback, but still answered truthfully.

"It sure is him!"

Zhu Zhanhe said bitterly, if he was only suspicious before without any evidence, but now that Zhu Yuexiu has escaped, it has been confirmed that he is the real murderer behind the assassination of Zhu Di!
