Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Ming Dynasty, the first year of Jianwen, the end of April.

Capital.

There are two lines at the end of the latest issue of the gazette.

[In the fourth month of summer, King Bai of Xiang burned himself to death.]

[The Prince of Yan was seriously ill, so the Emperor sent the Prince of Yan's son Gao Chi and his brothers Gao Xu and Gao Sui back to Beiping.]

Zhu Gaochi did not have time to pay attention to the great turmoil these two lines of words caused in the capital and among the local princes.

The three brothers were now rushing to Beiping in a hurry.

Just one day after setting out, Zhu Gaochi received a secret letter from the secret guard.

[The royal army arrived and accused the emperor's twelfth son, the Prince of Xiang, of treason. The Prince of Xiang resisted arrest and burned down the palace. All the people in the palace died along with the twelfth son.]

Zhu Gaochi really couldn't believe that this was the much-anticipated big move that the new emperor had come up with.

Force your own uncle to death?

Is everyone in the palace dead?

Brainless, right?

This is the rhythm of killing three thousand enemies and losing ten thousand of your own people. After tricking your uncle, you also dug a big hole for yourself!

But that's what they did.

What about my father’s serious illness? Could it be that someone from the capital was responsible?

Zhu Gaochi roughly knew his parents' plan, and he also knew that his father's pretending to be crazy had not worked at all.

So, was it really because their father was seriously ill that Zhu Yunwen let them go? Or was he murdered?

What about everyone else?

Xu had mentioned this in a letter before, saying that Zhang Xin missed him so much that she wanted to cry, and her eyes were swollen like peaches in the morning.

He has never seen Zhang Xin cry!

The situation in this palace must be so sad that Zhang Xin cried so hard.

Zhu Gaochi's mind was filled with so much imagination that it felt like ninety mice were crawling up and down in his heart.

But Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were not content. Instead of sitting in the carriage, they rode back and forth in front of the entire team, and occasionally rode past his carriage.

"Both of you, get in the carriage!"

"No! It's so stuffy and hot!"

"Then give me one too. We'll ride back first. Qian'er, go and call Shang Wenbeijiao."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Come on, big brother, if you ride a horse, it won't be able to run any more soon. It's just like riding in a car. You'll get hurt!"

Zhu Gaoxu opposed.

"Can't we just change horses on the way back?"

Zhu Gaochi was furious.

Being fat is the original sin!!!

He has lost a lot of weight! Although he is not as skinny as his brothers, he is only half as fat as a normal person.

"Second brother is just worried that something bad might happen to Ma Dian. Not you, eldest brother."

Zhu Gaosui had always been in a state of panic since he was a child, and he didn't think that anything would really happen to his father, so his tone was still relaxed.

"roll--"

Zhu Gaochi was so angry that he picked up the cup in the car and threw it at the people outside the window.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

As his two younger brothers objected, Zhu Gaochi was unable to ride a horse, but the entire team still maintained a steady pace towards Beiping.

When they stopped at the post station in the evening to rest, there was already someone waiting for them whom Zhu Gaochi had never expected.

The definite royalist was Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding.

When he was in the capital, Zhu Gaochi was an old stubborn man who could not be talked to no matter what approach he took.

The old man was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary soldier and was dusty. He stood in the deserted hall of the inn with his hands behind his back.

Seeing the three brothers come in, he gestured for them to follow him upstairs.

Zhu Gaochi and his two younger brothers looked at each other and felt that something was wrong, but they had already entered the post station and could only follow this person.

After entering the house, the old man's first words were shocking:

"I, your servant, wish to follow the King of Yan."

The three Zhu Gaochi brothers looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Zhu Gaochi's first reaction was, my goodness, you, Zhu Yunwen, openly released us back to Beiping, but this will allow Guo Ying to test us, and then kill us three brothers after the test?

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui had already begun looking for convenient weapons.

Who knows how many people Guo Ying had ambushed outside? The scouts from Prince Yan's Mansion didn't notice it at all. It turns out that the old ones are the most experienced.

"I only brought one person with me. I'm looking after the horses in the stables."

Guo Ying pursed her lips and couldn't help laughing as she watched Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui approaching Zhu Gaochi as a guard.

"I believe it if you say it!"

Zhu Gaosui rolled his eyes.

"Believe it or not, I'm only one person. Hahaha!"

Guo Ying laughed.

"So you are here to get yourself killed? What you are saying is..."

Zhu Gaoxu listened to the noise outside and it didn't seem like they were surrounded. He really didn't understand and asked.

The eldest brother doesn't have much fighting ability, but the other two are not like that, otherwise they wouldn't dare to go upstairs and enter the house like that.

"Well, I'll use myself as a token of my loyalty. Sit down. It's good to be young."

Guo Yingxian found a stool and sat down, then invited them to join him like a host.

"My Lord, there is only one person in the stable, and no one around the post station."

Qian'er outside the door spoke very quickly.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi smiled and sat down opposite Guo Ying.

"My Lord, your sudden joke is quite interesting."

"The Crown Prince can be treated as a joke. Alas, the Prince of Yan's Mansion is really like a tiger father and a dog son."

Guo Ying took the teacups on the table and poured water for the three of them. He saw that Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were still protecting Zhu Gaochi and did not sit down. The expressions on their faces showed envy and sadness.

"Your Majesty is too modest. Everyone in your family is a good fighter, but they are not a hundred times better than a fat guy like me."

Speaking politely has always been Zhu Gaochi's strong point.

"No matter how good you are at fighting, it's useless. In this world, you can't survive just by fighting. My eldest son's death must have been caused by someone close to the new emperor."

Guo Yingwen's tone remained very stable.

"what?"

The three brothers exclaimed in unison.

They knew that Guo Zhen had died. It happened at the end of last year, and they went to pay their respects.

But I really don't know how he died.

"My heart is chilled."

At the same time, Guo Ying was in tears and sobbing, but he still explained the matter clearly to the three brothers.

Half a year before the late emperor passed away, he summoned Guo Ying privately.

In addition to reminiscing about the past, the main purpose was to ask Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, to help him protect Zhu Yunwen, and Guo Ying agreed.

After the death of the previous emperor, Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne.

At that time, Guo Ying was covered with wounds from constant battles in his early years, and could not go out on rainy days. Therefore, he did not go to Zhu Yunwen to express his loyalty like others did.

Zhu Yunwen pretended not to care, but it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

A few days later, Zhu Yunwen sent a message saying that he wanted to invite Guo Ying to Liaodong to inspect the border troops.

Guo Ying was also very puzzled at the time. He knew clearly that the boy was disabled and could not go, but still asked for permission. It was not like he was joking, he really had no way to go.

After he refused, Qi Tai, the latest person appointed by Zhu Yunwen to the Ministry of War, assigned the matter to Guo Ying's eldest son Guo Zhen.

Everything is reasonable.

It’s normal for the son to go if the father can’t go.

As soon as Guo Zhen went out, he wrote a letter home on the way, saying that he was not feeling well, but Guo Zhen insisted on finishing the work.

When he returned to the capital at the end of the year, he was already extremely ill.

The imperial physician came to see the patient, and one look killed the patient.
