Bright Spring

Hou Haidao: "I obey the order!"

Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the door of the upper room, and when the night wind blew outside, he felt that the temperature was much lower than that in the room.

For a while, his mood was a little complicated.Thinking of Dai Wang's audacity|hiding mischievous intentions, Zhu Gaoxu felt hostile; but he really couldn't hate Dai Wang too much, because the methods of Dai Wang's gang were not good, and their talents and strength did not seem to be enough, so the threat was not too great.

Zhu Gaoxu recalled his experience before he ascended the throne. When he was a vassal king, he was a sensible and obedient man, but was he not guarded by others?He understands that people at a certain height have red and black hearts in their stomachs, which is not the most important thing at all; the key is whether they have strength and threat!

Thinking of the Lord Weng whom he met tonight, Zhu Gaoxu felt a little lucky again.He really didn't expect that there were such beautiful women in ancient North Korea.

Therefore, now he has a strange and complicated feeling that he can't sneeze, and he wants to hate but can't hate.So Zhu Gaoxu looked up at the moon, and could only let out a long sigh.

Why did Dai Wang go all out and take risks?Zhu Gaoxu still didn't fully understand it at this time, and was vaguely confused.

Chapter 675 I'm Not Old

That night, three people were sent from Shanhaiguan and rushed to the outside of Kaiping city overnight. They entered the city in hanging baskets.

At this moment, Hou Hai from the North Office of the Guarding Department has not yet been on duty, and he is still interrogating the criminals according to the order. When he heard the news, he immediately met the person!

Of those three people, two of them were accomplices of the traitors under Dai Wang's subordinates. Seeing that the situation was wrong, they turned their backs and fled to inform the secret; the other was a military household of the Ming army. .

Faced with the traitors inside and the exposure of his own identity, a leader named Yang Pu among the criminals was finally willing to confess!

"Name?" Hou Hai picked up the brush and quickly dipped it in the inkstone a few times.

The man who was chained and sitting on the stool opposite the desk said, "Yang Pu."

Hou Hai asked again: "Why do you have the audacity to commit such a heinous crime?"

Yang Pu pondered for a while, then sighed: "This matter has nothing to do with the prince (acting king Zhu Gui), it's all because of my persuasion many times. Yang has no fame, but fortunately the prince appreciates and treats him well, so he came to the Dai Wang's mansion as a counselor. It's up to you to kill, but the prince was indeed killed by us! I'm sorry for the prince!"

Hou Hai sneered and said, "You are quite loyal."

Yang Pu said: "However, there are too many people who are not old-fashioned, duplicity, greedy for life and afraid of death!

All of us once swore to the sky and made an alliance with blood, but we didn't expect that when something happened, there would always be someone who would eat inside and outside!The most ridiculous thing is that the people we selected are all guard soldiers who have supported the prince's army for a long time.When they talked about it in the palace, they were more impatient to do big things than anyone else; unexpectedly when they really did something, they were scared to the point of shit|fucking, hum! "

Hou Hai couldn't help talking: "You guys are doing big things, maybe it's not for the purpose of sending you to death? Your Majesty won't believe those nonsense! Go on, don't just sigh."

Yang Pu still sighed again and said: "During the campaign against crimes, some generals of the guard army and I persuaded the Dai Wang more than once: take advantage of the imperial court's inability to look north and seize the opportunity to plan great things! However, the Dai Wang never let go.

Or because the royal palace was not in danger at the time.The king of Dai was cut down by the court at the beginning of Jianwen, and the vassal state was restored in Yongle; during the "battle of crimes", the Hongxi court made many decrees to comfort the kings.Dai Wang has no different intentions..."

"You fart!" Hou Hai scolded.

Hou Haizheng wanted to say that during the "Battle of Criminology", the secret reports of the northern feudal lords who wanted to form alliances and raise troops were all placed in the palace!I didn't do it later, but it was just that the princes had differences and didn't talk about it together.Otherwise, why would King Gu of Changsha be arrested by Zhang Fu and sent to the capital?

But Hou Hai thought of what Zhu Gaoxu said, and he couldn't expand the matter for the time being.Only then did Hou Hai hold back, and didn't say what was in his heart.

Yang Pu was stunned for a moment, and said: "That's what other vassal kings want to persuade the Dai Wang!" The 70-strong army only took half an hour, and the chances of winning the army are not high."

Hou Hai hurriedly said: "Don't bite, let's tell the truth. The important criminals locked up here are not so-and-so, they are all the king's men!"

Yang Pu was silent for a moment, and said: "Because I have conspired many times to persuade Dai Wang to raise troops, so as early as when King Gu was arrested, we understood that sooner or later the court will settle the old score! Dai Wang may be able to save Wealth and honor, but those of us must be in danger.

Then when he ascended the throne today, the first major event was to conquer Mongolia in the north and transfer the guards from the northern princes' palaces; the signs that the imperial court will continue to cut down the vassals are already very obvious!The situation is getting worse.And the death of the deposed prince and his family makes people feel the resoluteness and ruthlessness of the Holy Majesty..."

Hou Hai couldn't help interrupting him, and said: "I told you, don't bite me! The abolition of the crown prince has nothing to do with the Holy Majesty."

Yang Pu lowered his head and frowned and said: "In short, all the signs have made us panic. The imperial court has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops on the ground of Beiping's chief envoy! When conquering Tatars in the north, they must go through Aikou Pass (Zhangjiakou); when the army leaves Juyong Pass, In a matter of days and nights, it can suddenly reach the city of Datong! In such a situation, is the Holy Majesty going to conquer Mongolia in the north, or is he going to get rid of the vassal king?

And Dai Wang has been impeached and denounced by officials many times, and it is easy for the court to impose crimes.Now that the imperial army is here, the situation is becoming more and more obvious. The Daiwang Mansion is probably the first vassal state that bears the brunt and is about to be abolished! "

Hou Haidao: "I am by the side of the Holy Majesty, participating in the planning of the Northern Expedition. I have never heard that the Holy Majesty is planning to attack the feudal king by force; it is all your guesswork."

Yang Pu didn't seem to believe it, so he continued: "Once the Prince Dai's mansion is destroyed, the whole family of us will be killed! I also have selfish intentions, so I have repeatedly persuaded the King Dai to understand the pros and cons. The King Dai finally recognized my proposal. Seeing it, I feel that disaster is close at hand! However, Dai Wangqing knows that the sage is good at fighting, and there is no opponent in the world, so he is still very afraid.

At that time, Huang Yan sent a secret envoy in Zhao Wangfu to inform the beauty sent by North Korea that he would go to Beiping soon. There is also a servant in my house who is from North Korea and can pretend to be North Korea. I am an envoy to the country, and I can teach my adopted daughter to speak some Korean | Korean.I took the opportunity to present a strategy to the king!

It is planned to intercept and kill the North Korean envoy halfway, seize its official letter and clothes, and use our people to replace the North Korean envoy and his party.Then I disguised my adopted daughter as a North Korean beauty, and was able to get close to the Holy One in Beiping Chief Envoy.Your Majesty loves beauty and has a good reputation, so I happen to meet a passing North Korean beauty here, so I should invite him to sleep..."

Hou Haidao: "The idea is very bold, it's just outrageous!"

Yang Pu said: "We are also forced to do nothing.

At that time, the officers and soldiers guarding the envoys should be unknown people, but nobody knew the envoys or beauties of North Korea.Only Li Qi, the censor, could not appear; so I perfected the strategy and asked Li Qi to write a memorial to report his illness.

Although the strategy is very bold, but I think it is watertight!As long as you assassinate|kill the Holy One, you will be able to eliminate the fear of acting king.All civil and military officials in the imperial court will also try to return to the capital first and support the emperor again; the situation is turbulent, and the chances of raising troops on behalf of the king will increase greatly!

At the beginning of the reign of the king, he was very hesitant.I also advised Dai Wang that if he does not resist at this time, he will surely die; instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to rise up and fight!Dai Wang finally nodded and reluctantly agreed to this plan during a secret conversation. "

Hou Hai raised his head and said: "Since there is no water leaking, why is it leaking everywhere? You were mixed in the Daiwang Guard Army and entered the party of Beiping Chief Envoy. noticed.

Then, as soon as you intercepted and killed the envoys, two traitors came out of your own ranks to inform them; you even let the officers and soldiers guarding the North Korean envoys escape... Even if nothing went wrong beforehand, you people When you arrive in Kaiping City, can you really deceive the Holy Majesty?Yang Pu, do you know why this happened? "

Yang Pu paused for a moment and didn't say anything.Hou Hai glanced at him, and continued to bury his head in writing.

"Shushasha..." In the quiet room, the sound of pen on paper could be heard.

After a long time, Hou Hai picked up the recorded confession, stepped forward and asked Yang Pu to inspect and sign it.

After finishing this matter, Hou Hai walked out of the room, guessing that it should be early in the morning.He planned to take a nap first, and then go to face the saint in the morning.

...Early in the morning, before dawn, horns sounded inside and outside the city.At this time, Kaiping City was much more noisy than usual.

After Hou Hai entered the "Palace", he was taken to a dining room, where he saw Zhu Gaoxu still having breakfast.After Hou Hai saluted, he put a stack of papers on the round table.Zhu Gaoxu asked him if he had eaten, he nodded and said: "I have already eaten."

Zhu Gaoxu held the chopsticks in his right hand, and flipped through the files for a while with his left hand.He took out an envelope from under the file and asked, "What is this?"

Hou Hai clasped his fists and said, "Hui Sheng told me that Li Qi was arrested by traitors, and under duress, he wrote a memorial."

The envelope has not been opened, and there are paint marks.Zhu Gaoxu was inconvenient now, so he said, "Take it apart and read it to me."

"I obey the order." Hou Hai bowed, bowed and picked up the things.

Hou Hai took out the memorial inside and read it accordingly.The general content of the memorial is similar to Yang Pu's confession.Li Qi said that he was not acclimatized, so he had to return to North Korea for medical treatment, and returned to North Korea as soon as possible after recovering from his illness.

After Zhu Gaoxu finished listening, he chewed something and suddenly smiled.He swallowed his food and said: "This Li Qi is quite quick-witted. You tell him to prepare, don't go back to the capital for now, he will follow me recently and drive north."

"The minister leads the decree!" Hou Hai said.

Hou Hai felt a little strange, and hastily read the memorial again.Only then did he realize that Li Qi had written a detail in the article: Before the Holy Majesty ascended the throne, the subject had never met the Holy Majesty; but now he is deeply trusted by the Majesty and entrusted with important tasks...

Hou Hai suddenly realized, and remembered that Li Qi had been to Yunnan a few years ago!At that time, on the eve of the Ming army's conquest of Annan Kingdom, Li Qi passed by Yunnan and was ordered to ask the "King of Han" his opinion on the affairs of Annan Kingdom. How could it be possible that he "has never met the Holy One"?

"Li Yushi is a little afraid of death." Hou Hai said.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Hou Hai: "It's already very good. Hou Zuoshi and other former officials of the Han Palace are loyal and selfless, but after all, there are not many of them."
