Han King's Residence.
Zhu Gaoxu put his hands behind his back and paced around the hall anxiously.
Not long after, the secret door opened and Huangfu Yunhe hurriedly ran in.
"Your Highness, there's no movement!"
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the incense on the incense burner. The third incense stick was already half burned. He immediately frowned and said,"It doesn't make sense."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Fan Zhonglei and the others should have already entered the city.”
"No matter how careful we are on the way, it has been almost two hours. We should be there by now."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
"By the way, Your Highness," Huangfu Yunhe continued,"the spies in the army just sent news that Zhu Neng has led his army to the city gates."”
"An incense stick worth of time ago, the news from the West Camp was completely sealed off. Not even a fly could fly out!”
Zhu Gaoxu's expression changed and he said in a deep voice,""Oh no, did the old man notice us?”
There was an independent city gate in the West Camp. If Zhu Di discovered the rebel army, he could seal off the news and send troops to intercept them.
However, what Zhu Gaoxu didn't understand was that the West Camp had only sealed off the news a few minutes ago.
No matter how fast the army moved, they couldn't stop the rebel army from advancing more than thirty miles away, right?
According to the speed of the rebel army's cavalry, they should have reached the city gate by now. Why was there not even a commotion?？
...
Crown Prince Manor.
"Father, Father!"
Zhu Zhanji rushed into the inner hall.
At this moment, Zhu Gaochi was dozing off on the table. When he heard Zhu Zhanji's voice, he quivered and almost slipped from his chair to the ground.
"What are you doing? Why are you so impatient? I didn't scare your grandfather to death, but I did scare you to death.”
Zhu Gaochi rubbed his butt and sat up.
"Father, something big has happened!" Zhu Zhanji said anxiously.”
"They're mobilizing troops! Grandpa is moving troops to the city gate!"
Zhu Gaochi patted his sleeves and said unhurriedly,"Damn, so be it. It's not like we're transferring troops to the crown prince's residence. What's the hurry?”
"Aiya, it's not father!"
Zhu Zhanji was so anxious that he was about to cry. He leaned closer to Zhu Gaochi's ear and lowered his voice,"I heard that there was a rebellion!”
"During the garden party, someone saw Fan Zhong leading his army out of the city through the west gate.”
"This news has just been sealed off, so no one knows yet.”
"Father, do you think it's Second Uncle?”
The fat on Zhu Gaochi's face trembled as he asked in a deep voice,""Is there any movement from your grandfather?"
"I'm not sure, but father, second uncle is now imprisoned.”
"Grandpa was so angry just now. It's impossible that this matter has nothing to do with him!”
"Father, let's go to grandfather's place now."
Zhu Gaochi quickly grabbed Zhu Zhanji." Come back, come back, come back. You child, what are you so anxious about?"”
"Listen up, you're not allowed to go anywhere tonight, and you're not allowed to ask around.”
"Just pretend that you don't know about this!"
"Why?" Zhu Zhanji cried. Isn't this a good time to take down Second Uncle?”
"As long as Second Uncle is trapped in the circle and can't come out, won't no one snatch your position as the crown prince?”
Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes." If I really go tonight, my head will be hanging on the wall before your second uncle tomorrow."”
"No matter what I say today, you can't go anywhere.”
......
North Town Fu Division Inner Hall.
Zhu Gaosui looked at Qing Long and Shen Lian and asked,""Is it true? Did the old master really mobilize his troops?"
"It's absolutely true. Zhu Neng has already taken over the defense of the city gate."”
"Yang Pu, Yang Rong, and Yang Shiqi entered the palace overnight and were welcomed by the dragon carriage.”
Zhu Gaosui stood rooted to the ground, his small eyes flickering.
After a long time, Zhu Gaosui said to the Azure Dragon duo,""Don't bother! Just pretend that you don't know about this and don't investigate.”
"Now put all your energy on the garden party, remember?”
The Azure Dragon duo looked at each other and then said straightforwardly,"Yes, sir!"
Zhu Gaosui smiled.
The king of Han surrounded the palace, and the officials of the prince's house entered the palace. The generals set up defenses.
This was clearly a battle between the Han King and the Crown Prince!
At this moment, if he revealed himself, he would be a real fool.
Zhu Gaotong wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman!
......
That night.
Countless factions in the Yingtian Prefecture moved upon hearing this.
Countless intelligence networks and spies that had been hidden for many years were used.
Everyone had a common goal, which was to find out the reason why Zhu Neng had set up defenses!
......
The next day.
On the official road outside Yingtian Prefecture.
Dust billowed and the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
As far as the eye could see, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were returning to the city like ants moving their houses.
It was the 150,000 soldiers of the Imperial Army led by Fan Zhong!
"General, there are a few more people hiding by the roadside.”The deputy general came to Fan Zhong's side to report.
After sending out troops to search for nothing, and another night of fruitless search, Fan Zhong was in a fit of anger.
Hearing the adjutant's words, a hint of disgust flashed across his face.
"Annoying bug!"
Along the way, there were already no less than ten people hiding in the dark to spy on them.
Fan Zhong naturally knew what these people were up to.
If not for the fact that he had something important to attend to at this time, Fan Zhong would have long gotten the army to turn their spears around and properly deal with them.
Thinking of this, Fan Zhong shouted loudly,"Speed up and enter the city before dawn!”
"Yes, sir!"
Da da da da.
The 150,000-strong army marched forward with even greater speed.
The citizens of the capital city discussed animatedly along the way.
"Aiya, why are there so many troops? Is there a war again?”
"Haven't you heard? It seemed that there were rebel soldiers outside last night.”
"Rebel army? Who would dare to defy the current Emperor? Did he not want to live?”
"From the looks of these soldiers, they must have won a great battle, right? Why are you all so dejected?"
“......”
After a night of brewing, even the common people had heard of the rebellion.
In the crowd, a scholar wearing coarse linen clothes with an extraordinary face looked at the army entering the city and slowly shook his head.
" Militarism, waste of manpower and wealth, the scourge of the Ming Dynasty, the scourge."
............
Ask for a fresh flower.
