In the Northern Expedition Army, inside the Chinese Army's tent, Zhu Di held in his hand two secret reports just sent by the Jinyi Guards from Yingtian Mansion!

One of them contained only one line:

"The emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji captured Sun Ruowei, the daughter of Jingqing, a remnant of the Jingnan disaster, at noon the day before yesterday, and used this as a condition for his adoptive father Sun Yu to send a message to Jianwen, ordering him to deliver the imperial seal to Yingtian Mansion within ten days!"

This secret report was not signed.

After Zhu Di finished reading, he couldn't help but smile, but the smile soon disappeared.

Then he quietly threw the secret report into the brazier on the side. After the secret report was burned, he opened the second secret report:

"The remnants of Jingnan went to lurk in Shuntian. Their purpose was to take advantage of the emperor's triumphant victory in the Northern Expedition to stab him in the street. Li Sigu, a member of Qianhu, a royal guard, secretly protected him during this trip, so that he was able to hide his identity in Yingtian Mansion. Zhang Mao was eventually traced.

At that time, Li Sigu had already committed suicide out of fear of crime!"

The signature of this second secret report was Zhang Mao. After reading it, Zhu Di changed his position on the chair to a reclining position. Then he looked at the Jin Yiwei Baihu who sent the secret report and asked lightly:

"Zhang Mao's secret report was authorized by the emperor's grandson?"

Hearing this, the entire Jinyiwei family was shocked, and immediately bowed their heads and said:

"Back to the Emperor, the information Mr. Zhang got was all from Sun Ruowei's mouth when everyone was present, and then it was directly presented to the Emperor. His Highness Taisun did not interfere!"

Zhu Di nodded, then waved his hand and said: "Go down and get one hundred taels of silver!"

Upon hearing this, all the members of the Jinyiwei family relaxed and immediately bowed their heads and said, "Thank you, general!"

Seeing Baihu retreat, Zhu Di rubbed his forehead, then took a deep breath and shouted outside the tent:

"Fan Zhong!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young general who looked to be in his twenties walked in immediately and saluted Zhu Di:

"emperor!"

Zhu Di glanced at Fan Zhong who was kneeling on the ground with a respectful expression, thought for a moment and said, "Go and ask King Zhao of Han to come see me!"

"yes!"

Fan Zhong nodded in agreement.

After Fan Zhong left, Zhu Di picked up another battle report and read it.

Not long after, the voices of Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui could be heard faintly outside the tent:

"Second brother, you must beg Dad for mercy later. That horse pen is simply not a place for people. Do you know how the old horse-raising officer punished me? He even asked me to go to the horse pen in the middle of the night.

The horses are fed with fodder. Not only that, but every manger must be wiped with salt. You don’t know. I haven’t been sleeping well these days, and I haven’t been able to eat well. Look, I’m all skinny.

Got it!"

This was Zhu Gaosui's voice, and his voice was full of grievances.

Zhu Gaojiu was very responsible. After hearing this, he patted Zhu Gaosui on the shoulder and comforted him: "Third brother, if you bear with this matter for a long time, I will plead with you in a few days. I will definitely let you out in a few days."

of."

The two brothers were talking, but when they got closer to the tent, their voices immediately disappeared, and then the curtain of the tent was opened.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced quietly at Zhu Di, who was reading the battle report.

Then he immediately saluted and said:

"My son Zhu Gaoxu comes to see my father!"

"My son Zhu Gaosui comes to see my father!"

When Zhu Di heard the two people saluting, he did not raise his head. He just stretched out a hand and pointed at the secret report of Zhang Mao just in front of him. While continuing to look at the battle report in his hand, he said calmly:

"This is the secret report that just came from Yingtian Jinyiwei, take a look!"

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaoxu immediately looked at each other after hearing this, with some hesitation in their eyes.

However, Zhu Di gave the order, and the two of them had to look. After a moment of hesitation, Zhu Gaosui took the lead and poked Zhu Gaoxu's arm, signaling Zhu Gaoxu to take the lead.

Zhu Gaojiu was poked by Zhu Gaojiu, and as the second-in-command, he had no choice but to pick up the secret report. But the next moment, when he saw the content clearly, Zhu Gaojiu's face "swish" and cold sweat flowed down, and he didn't care.

Others, with a "pop", knelt on the ground and shouted:

"Dad, these... these rebellious officials and traitors, you ask me to lead an army to Nuer Gandusi, and I will kill them all!"

Zhu Gaojiu was startled by Zhu Gaojiu's appearance. He took the secret report and read it immediately. The next moment, Zhu Gaojiu's face suddenly turned pale. Different from Zhu Gaojiu's panic, Zhu Gaojiu's face was frightened. He knelt on the ground hurriedly and took a few steps.

He crawled to Zhu Di and begged for mercy:

"Dad...Dad, Erchen really doesn't know these things. You have to believe Erchen. Although Li Sigu is Erchen's subordinate, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Erchen. It must be Li Sigu himself.

,Yes, he did it himself, I don’t know!”

As he spoke, Zhu Gaosui burst into tears and ranny nose, and almost started crying.

When Zhu Di heard what his two sons said, he stood up from his seat, glanced at Zhu Gaosui who was kneeling on the ground, walked around the tent quietly, and then said calmly:

"I originally wanted to go on this personal expedition while I was still able to fight, so that I could completely quieten the border of Ming Dynasty and bring a few years of peaceful life to the people of Ming Dynasty. However, I didn't expect...

"

Zhu Di sighed as he spoke, then threw the battle report in his hand to the ground, and said angrily: "I didn't expect that there would be someone who was ready to assassinate me when I returned from the victory?"

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, who were kneeling on the ground, had something in their minds. They were startled by the sound and quickly buried their heads lower.

Zhu Di ignored them and continued to say calmly: "If this kid Zhan Ji hadn't done a good job in investigating and discovered this group of rebels early, it would be impossible to say...it is impossible to return to Yingtian, the two of you..."

Zhu Di paused for a moment as he spoke, his face showing a bit of loneliness, but for some reason his words suddenly slowed down a bit and he said: "I'll return to Yingtian at the wrong time. I'm afraid you two will never see each other again."

Am I done?"

After Zhu Di finished speaking, the two people kneeling on the ground were obviously relieved. Zhu Gaoxu directly raised his head and said indignantly:

"Dad, give me an army. I will go to Nuergandusi now and kill all those rebels!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaosui nodded quickly and said, "Dad, I...I'll go too!"

Zhu Di glanced at them both, especially Zhu Gaosui, and after thinking about it, he suddenly asked: "You... really want to go?"

Zhu Gaosui was stunned for a moment, but he quickly nodded and said: "I really want to go. As long as my father gives me an army, I will kill all the rebels immediately after I go."

"You are really filial!"

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaosui, with an expression that seemed both mocking and gratifying, and then said calmly: "I don't need you to go, Nu'er Gandusi. I've been out for a while these days, and Jin Yiwei has also been making trouble these days."

There has been a lot of noise, so let’s go back and take a look for me!”

"Go back and take a look?"

Zhu Gaosui was stunned when he heard this and didn't know what to look at.

Zhu Di nodded, and then said calmly: "Yes, I just want to go back and have a look to see when this group of rebels entered Yingtian, who arranged it, and what is their purpose?"

Zhu Gaosui was confused. What does it mean to take a look?

See if he can tell when the rebels will enter Yingtian?

Can you tell who arranged it?

Shouldn't I be given a position?

"this……"

Zhu Gaojiu opened his mouth and wanted to say something. Zhu Gaojiu on the side quickly touched Zhu Gaojiu, who immediately understood: "I accept the order!"

Seeing that Zhu Gaosui agreed, Zhu Di showed a smile at this time, and said with some concern: "Well, Yingtian Mansion is in quite a mess now, Ji Gang rebelled, and now there is a remnant of the Jingnan crisis. After you go back,

If you have nothing to do, don't run around casually, stay at home and watch, when will you find out who is the traitor, when will you come back to the army and report to me!"

Zhu Gaosui's face turned pale when he heard this: "This..."

Zhu Di glanced at him lightly and asked quietly: "What about this and that? Do you have any opinions?"

"No... I don't dare!"

……………

……………

Yingtian Mansion, Prince's Mansion in the East Palace, the Prince's Mansion is very lively today.

After Zhu Zhanji finished handling some of the discounts handed over by Sanyang, he returned to the Prince's Mansion early at noon.

In the backyard, under Zhang's supervision, Zhu Gaochi was practicing Tai Chi sword!

On the side, Hu Shanxiang served Zhu Zhanji respectfully while drinking tea and chatting.

Zhu Zhanji looked at his mother and silly father, then looked at Hu Shanxiang, whose face was a little red, and said with a smile: "How is it? Does it still hurt?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Shanxiang blushed and shook his head: "No...it doesn't hurt anymore!"

"Well, it was like this the first time, but it will be fine in the future!"

Zhu Zhanji smiled, and then continued: "You may think that this one-piece horse will hurt the first time you practice it, but once you practice it, it will be very helpful for the body's flexibility. Learn some dances

It is also very helpful, and it can also greatly improve your temperament, which is also very important for you to participate in the selection of concubines in the future!"

Hu Shanxiang nodded quickly when he heard this and said: "Yes, I will definitely practice harder when I go back!"
