"Ye Gucheng has entered the capital! Prince Ning is rebelling!"
Hearing Zhao Gao's report, Zhu Houzhao's eyes darkened as he muttered.
Ye Gucheng's entry into the capital was within his expectations, so there was nothing much to say.
After all, the people of the martial world had no regard for the court and ignored everything. It could be said that it had been around for a long time and was already commonplace.
However, this was in the past. In the future, he would use his actions to tell the world what the price of doing so was.
Now, Zhu Houzhao did not choose to capture Ye Gucheng as a warning to others.
Instead, he planned to cast a long line to catch a big fish.
Ye Gucheng was a very good fish. He could lure out all kinds of demons and monsters hidden in the dark, especially in the capital.
He wanted to see who else was plotting against him!
How many of those rats hiding underground could be lured out by this bait?
Other than the appearance of Ye Gucheng, Prince Ning had rebelled.
This surprised Zhu Houzhao.
Prince Ning, can't you wait that long?
Logically speaking, Da Ming already had the momentum to fall at this time.
As long as it was a discerning person, they would choose to continue to take the opportunity to wait for the opportunity, but Prince Ning did the opposite.
One had to know that Great Ming still had the size of Dynasty. Prince Ning choosing to rebel now was simply swimming in a manure pit, courting death!
But he did it!
This made Zhu Houzhao somewhat suspicious. Could it be that Prince Ning had already made preparations?
Was that why he couldn't wait to rebel?
Or rather, what did Prince Ning rely on?
Which faction was behind it?
The more questions he had in his heart, the darker Zhu Houzhao's eyes became.
In the end, he ordered the eunuch beside him to call the cat in.
When Zhao Gao was almost there, he ordered indifferently,"The two of you must unite with the forces of the network and quickly investigate the forces and motives behind Ning Wang's rebellion.!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The two of them replied in unison.
"Yes, let's go to court!"
After giving his orders, Zhu Hou Zhao did not ask any more questions. He believed that these two eunuchs would do a good job.
At the same time, he was also preparing to go to court.
……
Great Ming's court session was divided into morning court session and afternoon court session…
However, the emperor of Ming Dynasty had a habit of rarely going to court.
Many emperors did not even go for a few years. It sounded quite ridiculous.
According to the frequency of Zhu Houzhao's court attendance, he could already be considered a diligent emperor.
However, this was only temporary. He also did not like going to court.
Therefore, he wanted to train Wu Zhao to free himself from politics.
As the emperor, he only needed to know how to use people.
When it was time to reward, he would reward, and when it was time to beat, he would beat.
He didn't want to waste most of his time on government affairs.
If that was the case, what was the point of being the emperor?
……
Dong dong dong!
The sound of drums rang out!
At this moment, all the officials were already waiting outside the Wu Gate.
Sob…
The bugle sounded, but no door opened. All the officials shouted ginseng slices and entered in an orderly manner.
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
The Three-Lives Clean Whip sounded, and the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao came to court.
At this moment, the two rows of civil and military squads lowered their heads and bowed respectfully."Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!”
"Yes! Get up!"
Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon throne with a solemn expression. His eyes swept across the ministers as he spoke indifferently.
At this moment, the trusted eunuch stepped forward and said in a sharp voice,""If you have a book, report it as soon as possible! Retreat without a foundation!"
As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, Zhu Budian walked out of the line and said,""Your Majesty, I have something to report!”
"Speak!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly.
Even so, he knew exactly what had happened.
It was basically confirmed that it was Prince Ning's rebellion.
His own information came from the network, but Zhu Bujue also had the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
Especially after Zhu Houzhao's reminder, the information had improved significantly.
However, this process still had to be done.
"Your Majesty, Prince Ning rebelled last night and is now using his own strength to continuously occupy and control the land. His crime should be punished. Your Majesty, please allow me to lead my troops there. I will definitely take his head and give it to Your Majesty!”
"This subject is willing to make a military pledge. As long as Your Majesty allows this subject to suppress it, this subject will bring Ning Wang's head back in two days. Otherwise, this subject is willing to cut off his head.”
Zhu ignored the anger in his heart and tried his best to fight for it as he recounted the incident.
He wanted to lead his troops to take down Prince Ning to show his loyalty.
Last time, Zhu Houzhao gave him the second Fragrant Cardamom as promised, and Su Xin lived because of it.
In the end, he was still grateful to Zhu Houzhao.
The reason why he requested to fight today was to eliminate the doubts about him.
To do this, he had to make a contribution, and a great contribution.
Therefore, as soon as he received the news of Prince Ning's rebellion, Zhu Budian could not wait to jump out.
When Zhu Buduan said this, all the civil and military officials were stunned. Their eyes widened in shock.
"Your Majesty, this subject is willing to lead troops to suppress it!”
"Your Majesty, this subject is also willing to share your worries. Capture Ning Wang alive and bring him back to the capital to await Your Majesty's judgment!”
"Your Majesty, I am willing to prepare my own rations. As long as Your Majesty gives an imperial edict, I will not refuse!”
……
Hearing Zhu Buguang's words, the generals were all excited.
All of them were clamoring to suppress him. For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely hot.
However, they were not willing to fight purely to suppress Prince Ning and share the Emperor's burden.
One of the main reasons was that Prince Ning's territory was exceptionally rich.
With the army pressing down on the border, there would be a lot of benefits once they took it down. Moreover, this kind of behavior could not be classified as corruption.
It could be said to be a kind of unspoken rule and tacit consent. The previous emperors had all done this.
After all, fighting a war was risking one's life. The emperor could not be too harsh. If there was no money as a motivation, it would be very difficult.
Moreover, for the current Ming Imperial Court, as long as they were willing to pay the price, it was not difficult to kill Prince Ning.
It was just a matter of how much he had to pay.
None of the generals cared about this.
Pei Ju, Li Si, Zhangsun Wuji, and the others heard the news at the same time, and they all narrowed their eyes.
After looking at each other, they could tell that this matter was not ordinary.
Doubt naturally arose in his heart.
They simply couldn't believe it. Did Prince Ning take the wrong medicine?
At this moment, they chose to rebel.
Are you really not going to consider waiting a little longer?
Even if Great Ming could not do it now, that was only relative to the dynasty.
He was not someone who could provoke the imperial court just because of a puny Ning Prince.
They were sure that Prince Ning was not a fool. There must be a special reason why he could do this.
This made them think that there should be someone controlling Prince Ning from behind.
Moreover, the person controlling it was definitely not an ordinary faction. In fact, he was a very powerful faction.
There was a high possibility that the various countries were playing tricks behind their backs.
But which dynasty was it?
Pei Ju and the others looked at each other, wanting to see something in each other's eyes.
The result was disappointing. Every one of them was a thousand-year fox.
Neither of them could see any useful information from each other's eyes.
"Silence!"
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand slightly, and the hall immediately quieted down.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao suddenly stood up from the dragon throne. His deep eyes were as cold as frost as he said indifferently,"It's just a mere Ning Wang, why would Uncle Huang take action?”
As the emperor, he naturally knew the virtues of his subjects.
All of them wanted to make a fortune. Even if Zhu Bujue wanted to make a contribution, the unspoken rules were still unavoidable.
It was just a matter of taking more or less.
If they took less, they could naturally contribute most of their wealth to the national treasury.
But this time, Zhu Houzhao did not want to mobilize the people of the Imperial Court. He already had a suitable candidate in mind.
"This…"
"What does Your Majesty mean? If we don't do anything, then who will go and suppress Prince Ning's rebellion?”
The officials were all puzzled. They didn't understand what Zhu Houzhao was trying to do.
However, this doubt, along with Zhu Houzhao's next appointment, directly stunned all the officials.
