Here, Li Mingrui and Ye Shu retreated first, and Wu Jin reported truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, this King of Chu Zhu Huakui was not what we asked him to go in. According to our reports, the King of Chu was invited in by Miss Wei's cousin. His Majesty's order to us was to secretly monitor and not let Miss Wei feel it, so we did not dare to act without authorization."

"But we have found out that Miss Wei's cousin was Ruan Dacheng who visited Miss Wei that day. Ruan Dacheng did have some relationship with the hometown of Wei Pavilion. But we have now, Ruan Dacheng has been very close to the King of Chu these days, and even secretly discussed it together several times. Moreover, Ruan Dacheng is very careful every time he discusses with King Zhu Huakui of Chu. Our people cannot find out the news, but what is certain is that these two people are definitely doing something shameful."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Although he had been with King Zhu Huakui these days, he didn't know much about King Zhu Huakui of Chu, and he only knew that King Zhu Huakui of Chu was sunk into the water by Zhang Xianzhong in history.

For such a pitiful and hateful vassal king, Zhu Youxiao did not fully believe that he could really give up his own interests, but instead achieved the revival of the Ming Dynasty. In history, if he was willing to spend half of his money, he would not end up in a tragic death.

Now, according to Wu Jin's words, the King of Chu Zhu Huakui seems to be playing a secret trick for himself. Ruan Dacheng is undoubtedly a speculative villain. Now he has not served himself in office due to business tax matters, but Zhu Youxiao believes that Ruan Dacheng will definitely be unwilling to be lonely.

"What can these two people do when they get together?" Zhu Youxiao murmured to himself, and immediately ordered: "Transfer my will and immediately summon King Zhu Youxiao to the palace. At the same time, he ordered Liu Kongzhao and Qin Botong to block the Jinling City and prevent the King of Chu from leaving Jinling City. In addition, bring Miss Wei into the palace. If you refuse, force him to escort it!"

Zhu Youxiao said and asked Wu Jin again: "Who is the governor of Huguang now? Who has Ruan Dacheng ever come into contact with people in recent times? What is their relationship? In addition, I will tell me about the movements of other vassal kings, especially those who have come into contact with Fan Wencheng during this period."

Zhu Youxiao knew that as his reforms touched the core interests of these vested interest groups, they would inevitably be blocked and rebounded, and even a nationwide chaos would occur. In this case, it would definitely be unfavorable to the entire Ming Dynasty, and would even give the Guanning Army, led by Wu Xiang, the Qing Dynasty, an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Your Majesty, it's Hou Xun. This person was originally the Donglin Party, but later he betrayed the Donglin Party like Mr. Qian Ge. He had some friendship with Ruan Dacheng, but the two of them had fought each other in the court." Wu Jin was just talking when suddenly a rustling footsteps came from outside, and Wu Jin, who was sensitive to hearing, jumped out.

Not long after, Wu Jin walked towards Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, just got the news that King Zhu Huakui of Chu left Jinling City overnight, and Ruan Dacheng and Miss Wei suddenly disappeared. According to the guards at the city gate, someone took four or five people out of the city tonight in the name of the King of Chu's subordinates."

"It's actually gone." Zhu Youxiao's tone was a little cold, which scared Wu Jin so much that he couldn't help but hold his breath and concentrate: "It seems that the soldiers guarding the city did not know the reason for these people in advance. I wonder if Your Majesty wants our Dongchang people to recover them."

"No need. It's going to rain and my mother wants to get married. If they want to leave, let them go. Let's do it. No matter what they do, whether they are treason or want to go to Beijing to serve the king, we pretended not to know, and secretly prepared and sent someone to send an order to the commander of the imperial guards in various places, so that they could slowly move closer to Huguang area for various reasons, and he was caught off guard!"

As Zhu Youxiao said that, he ordered Wang Chengen to prepare again. Now that he had done everything he should do in Jiangnan, he should go to Huguang to see it, not only because of Wei Min'er and King Zhu Huakui of Chu, but also Zhang Juzheng from Huguang Jiangling and others. Moreover, as an important grain base in the Ming Dynasty, Huguang has always been known as Huguang and the best in the world, so Zhu Youxiao also needs to go and see the situation here.

...

The road from Jinling City to Beijing is still under construction, and because the amount of wages is calculated based on the amount of labor, the enthusiasm of hiring migrant workers to participate in highway construction is very high. Now it can be used from Jinling City to Jurong section. Wei Min'er is now sitting in a four-wheeled carriage, driven by Ruan Dacheng, the enthusiastic cousin, who is quickly driving towards Huguang in the dark.

Wei Min'er looked outside with eyes and seemed a little worried.

She didn't understand why her cousin Ruan Dacheng was in a hurry to follow him to Huguang, and even left overnight, but she finally obeyed her cousin's wishes because she was afraid of seeing Zhu Youxiao again, and she was afraid that she would regret going to give the side room of King Zhu Huakui when she saw Zhu Youxiao again, although the information she got from Ruan Dacheng now was that she married King Zhu Huakui as a side room, which was originally his intention of Zhu Youxiao.

When King Zhu Huakui of Chu learned that Wei Min'er had promised to be his side room and came to Huguang on his own initiative, he was naturally very happy. He even calmly started to rebel after arriving in Huguang, and was not as timid as before. He decided to cheer up and be the master of the world.

When King Zhu Huakui of Chu arrived at Wuchang City, he immediately met Zuo Liangyu and promised that if something big happens in the future, Zuo Liangyu would split the land and become a marquis. Zuo Liangyu now agreed to King Zhu Huakui of Chu and personally led 3,000 direct soldiers to support King Zhu Huakui of Chu. King Zhu Huakui of Chu himself also spent money to recruit more than 5,000 people. In addition, thousands of guards in his palace, he had just raised more than 10,000 troops. In Huguang, in this deep hinterland, it was already a military force that should not be underestimated.

At the same time, Wu Jin also reported the latest news to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that King Zhu Huakui of Chu had close contact with Zuo Liangyu's tribe after returning to Huguang."

"I added another Zuo Liangyu. Interestingly, is this King of Chu Zhu Huakui being blinded? He really dares to rebel!"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile and said:

"It is clear now that Huguang Governor Hou Xun and Zuo Liangyu are both unreliable, and they are also the most likely to collude with Chu King Zhu Huakui. What we need to do now is to use the Imperial Guards to take decisive measures against him, so that his rebellion will be strangled to the budding, and on the other hand, we must prevent the vassal kings from taking this opportunity to cause rebellion."

After Zhu Youxiao said this, Wu Jin bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not hide it from you. Miss Wei has agreed to the proposal of King Zhu Huakui of Chu. Now he is rushing to Chu for this."
