3,000 Imperial Guards Disappeared, Zhu Yuanzhang Was Numbed
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened when he heard Jiang Meng's report.
"No clues at all?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was already trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart as he asked," Three thousand men, can they grow wings and fly?”
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was only wearing a plain nightgown, his voice was filled with the majesty of an emperor.
Kneeling on the ground, Jiang Qiong was trembling, and beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
"Investigate!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Jiang He, who was kneeling on the ground, and said sternly,"Investigate it for us!"
"Who is it that has such guts to even dare to touch the Imperial Guards of the capital!”
"This subordinate accepts the order!"
Looking at Jiang Meng's back as he left, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the overturned millet porridge on the dragon table.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't order a new bowl. He just used his chopsticks to put the millet porridge that had been scattered on the dragon table back into the bowl.
She continued to eat her porridge.
However, when Zhu Yuanzhang heard this news, he was not in the mood to eat porridge at all.
He just randomly stuffed it into his mouth.
Under his very eyes, he was able to make three thousand Imperial Guards disappear.
If this person wanted to rebel, wouldn't he be able to take advantage of the night and lead 3,000 troops to attack the Forbidden City and take his head?
Zhu Yuanzhang once again had a great sense of distrust towards the defense of the capital!
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had his head buried in the porridge, became angrier the more he thought about it.
He smashed the bowl of porridge heavily on the dragon table and shouted angrily in a low voice,"What a bunch of trash!"
The surrounding eunuchs and palace maids were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and did not dare to breathe loudly.
Without letting Zhu Yuanzhang wait for too long, Jiang Kui quickly entered the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Jiang He, who had walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang, knelt down in front of him without a word." Your subordinate is sentenced to death!”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a dark expression on his face, frowned even more at this moment.
"What did you find?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was extremely cold.
"This subordinate has already verified that these three thousand Imperial Guards did not make any unusual movements before last night.”
" The spies that were planted in various places in the imperial court did not find anything unusual, but…"
Jiang Meng said but didn't continue immediately.
"But what?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked unhappily.”
"It's just that the Xiang Prince's movements were a little unusual yesterday.”
"Yesterday, Prince Xiang went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the Prince of Yan's Mansion, and even General Xu Da's mansion in the evening.”
"Apart from that, the steward of the Xiang Prince Residence brought people with him, carrying gift boxes of all sizes, and visited almost all the residences of the civil and military officials of the court.”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and then came to a realization.
He bent down and took out the gift box Zhu Bai had brought over yesterday from the drawer under the dragon table. He asked Jiang Meng,"Take a look. Is this the gift box?”
Jiang Meng carefully raised her head, took a look, and immediately buried her head into the ground.
"Yes, that's right."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded indifferently." That kid went to borrow money from someone yesterday. Don't worry about him."”
"Other than that, did you find anything else?”
Jiang Qiong, who was kneeling on the ground, shook his head. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately said,"Your Majesty, why don't we ask General Xu?”
"Hmm?"
"The 3,000 imperial guards are under the command of the general. Without the general's Tiger Tally, it's impossible to mobilize these troops."”
"That makes sense…"
Zhu Yuanzhang supported his chin with his right hand and analyzed," Without the Tiger Tally, the 3,000 men would not have left their posts…"
"But…"
"Last night, Xu Da clearly drank at our place for the entire night.”
"Go!"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sat up straight and looked at Jiang He, who was kneeling, and ordered,"Call Xu Da over!"
"Right, tell him to bring the Tiger Tally of the three thousand Imperial Guards of the capital!”
"Here!"
······
xufu
Xu Da practically turned the entire Xu Manor upside down, but he still could not find the Tiger Tally.
This time, Xu Da's heart skipped a beat. He knew that something big had happened!
He immediately instructed the servant girls to change their clothes and was about to head to the Xiang King's Mansion to find the Xiang King Zhu Bai.
The Tiger Tally was a military power. Even if Xiang King Zhu Bai was a prince, it was not something that could be casually played with!
As long as he could get the Tiger Tally back before the two little fellows made a big fuss, everything would be fine.
As he calculated in his heart, Xu Da sped up his actions.
The butler had already prepared the horse. Xu Da tidied up his official robe and got on the horse to set off.
"Great General, please wait!"
Jiang Meng galloped over and held the reins tightly at the gate of Xu Mansion. He cupped his hands at Xu Da and said,"His Majesty has ordered the Great General to bring the Tiger Tally of the 3,000 Imperial Guards of the capital and immediately enter the palace to meet the Emperor!”
Hearing this news, Xu Da sighed in his heart. The thing he was most unwilling to see had still happened.
but
The Tiger Tally was not a small matter. Since something had already happened, Xu Da naturally did not dare to say that Xu Miaojin had stolen it.
otherwise
If she really committed a serious crime, even if she was Xu Da's daughter, Zhu Yuanzhang would not show mercy.
After calculating in his heart, Xu Da said with a bitter expression,"I won't hide it from you, Commander. I drank with His Majesty last night and slept until morning. When I woke up in the morning, I realized that my house had been robbed. All my silver notes and tiger talismans were gone.”
"I originally planned to enter the palace to report this matter to the emperor, but I didn't expect the commander to arrive just as I left.”
"Ah?"
On horseback, Jiang Qiong frowned and exclaimed,""As expected, they are the soldiers of the Tiger Seal Army!"
"Transfer what soldiers?"
Xu Da, who was already nervous, looked at Jiang Meng's reaction and became even more nervous." Lord Jiang, what exactly happened?”
Jiang Meng let out a long sigh." This morning, the city gate defense reported that the 3,000 imperial guards who were patrolling last night suddenly disappeared.”
" What?"
When Xu Da heard this, his eyes widened even more." You mean someone used the Tiger Tally to transfer the troops away?”
Jiang Meng nodded heavily." Other than this, it's hard to think of any other possibility.”
"It is precisely because of this that His Majesty asked me to summon the Great General to bring the Tiger Tally into the palace.”
"Now that the Tiger Tally is missing, it seems that someone did use the Tiger Tally to transfer the soldiers away.”
When Xu Da heard this, his back was already covered in cold sweat, but he didn't continue Jiang Meng's words.
"Great General, let's go back to the palace together!”
Jiang Meng said and immediately turned his horse around." We'll wait for His Majesty to come up with a plan. Let's see who dares to mobilize the 3,000 imperial guards!"”
Xu Da nodded with a heavy heart." That's good too. For now, we can only enter the palace to meet the Emperor."”
At this moment, Xu Da's heart had already turned cold.
He had a hunch that Miao Jin was the one who took the Tiger Tally, but why did she take it?
Why did they transfer the soldiers away?
Xu Da didn't dare to continue thinking. The only thing he could do now was to protect his daughter.
Drive! Giddyup!
The two of them rode their horses and galloped towards the Imperial Palace.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! (Kowtow!)
