That night, Heidan led troops to search the Xingqing Palace, and found hundreds of musicians, all of whom were sons of the Lian family.According to Zhang Xing, the governor of King Gu's guard, it was King Gu who selected strong men to teach music, mixed into the palace, and launched a palace coup.

There are more than 100 men covered in flesh and blood, which are solid evidence of treason.Zhu Di was furious and ordered all officials to judge King Gu's crime.Hundreds of officials wrote a letter, saying, "Zhou Luguan, Cai, Han Bibi, and Chang all killed their relatives righteously. Your Majesty continues to read Bi, but what is the world?"

Zhu Di said: "Old Nineteenth is my younger brother after all, I'd better hand him over to the brothers to judge the crime."

So King Zhu of Zhou, Zhu Zhen of Chu, Zhu Chun of Shu and others each wrote a letter, saying, "He violated the precepts of the ancestors, plotted against the law, and the traces are very clear.

Zhu Di said: "All the kings and ministers uphold the righteousness of the country's laws, but after all I can't bear to kill my close relatives." He ordered King Gu and his eldest son Zhu Fuzhuo, and his second son Zhu Fujiao to be deposed as common people.

The prince interceded for the king of Gu and begged Zhu Di to reduce the number of consecutive sittings. Zhu Di did not depose his third son Zhu Fuzhen as a commoner because he was not crowned in the new year, and he was respectful and observant.

Although he was not abolished as a commoner, but Gu Guo withdrew his vassal, and his treatment would not be very good.

King Gu's officials and in-laws were all sentenced to death, and only Zhang Xing made a report and was not guilty.

When the news spread to Changsha, the eldest son Zhu Fuzhuo and the second son Zhu Fujiao refused to go to Huizhou and set fire to the palace.

"This is deliberately slapping me in the face in front of the people of the world!" Zhu Di was sad and angry when he heard about it: "I left them a way to live, but they are going to die, and let the people of the world think that I am mean and ungrateful!"

Heidan comforted him and said, "It's all the fault of the nineteenth uncle. Don't be too sad for the emperor's grandfather."

The outcome of the King of Gu has been decided, and the remaining King of Shu is still in Beijing, and has not been released for a long time.

If it was said that he was guilty, the King of Shu did not conspire against him; but if he was said to be innocent, the King of Shu did not report to the emperor in time after hearing the rumor of Yuxi, which almost caused turmoil.

Guilty and innocence are only weighed back and forth in Zhu Di's hands.

It was originally planned that the King of Shu and the King of Gu would meet in Beijing and return to their respective fiefdoms after ten days and half a month.King Gu can't go back now, King Shu is stranded in Beijing, the emperor doesn't mention the matter of going back, and he doesn't dare to mention it.

If you open your mouth to mention it, it seems that you are in a hurry to go back and do something.At this juncture, it is easy to be associated with bad associations.What are you going to do?Rebellion?Jing Nan again?

Even Zhu Di's original plan to send Shu Wang and Gu Wang away and set off for a northern tour has been delayed.

Wait until Yuan Rong, Marquis of Guangping, returns from Changsha.

Yuan Rong's investigation of King Gu's rebellion had already been reported to the court by flying a letter:

King Gu was in Changsha, recruiting desperadoes, secretly practicing the art of war, and building warship bows/crossbows;

Build Buddhist temples, gather thousands of monks, and curse the emperor;

Forged the prophecy, saying that he is the No.18 son of Emperor Gao (Zhu Sui was nineteenth, but Zhao Wangqi died young, so the eighteenth is also acceptable), which is consistent with the prophecy, and he should inherit the throne...

But what was not mentioned in the Feishu was related to another Tianhuang nobleman, who personally brought back personal evidence from Changsha this time.

Zhu Yuexiu, the third son of King Shu of Chongning, killed civilians by mistake a few months ago. The King of Shu wanted to punish him. Zhu Yuexiu fled to Changsha. He wanted to protect his uncle, but he was detained by King Gu, who wanted to impersonate him as Emperor Jianwen. , Said, "When the king opened the Jinchuan Gate, he released Lord Jianwen (the name of Emperor Jianwen in the early Ming Dynasty after Jingnan). Now that he has come to the Gu Palace, the king wants to raise troops to help Dayi and help him take the seat. return."

Zhu Yuexiu is not stupid, she knows that rebellion will lead to death, she knows that this uncle is not capable enough, and she also knows that if she gets on a pirate ship, no matter what happens or not, her life will be lost, so she hurriedly tried to write a letter to her father for help—no matter how her father treats him Sin, at least it won't kill him.

The king of Shu received the letter and wrote to the king of Gu to persuade him to be loyal and not to rebel. Otherwise, not only would he not join forces with him, but he would report to the emperor and destroy his relatives righteously.This letter has now been seized by Yuan Rong and presented to the imperial court.

It is said that the words in the letter were sincere, Zhu Di finished reading, and sighed: "As a minister, as a younger brother, as a brother, the life of the King of Shu is very difficult."

He said to the king of Shu: "Live your life with peace of mind, and wait for him to be the Duke of Zhou in my Ming Dynasty."

Give thousands of banknotes, countless gold and silver ribbons, and return them to Chengdu.

When Zhu Di said "Duke Zhou", he meant that he believed that the king of Shu would be loyal to the country, and hoped that he would do his best to help the prince in the future.

I asked Heidan: "So, the prince of Shu has passed this test?"

Heidan nodded and said: "Yes. Everything has a cause and effect. He sees clearly and walks cautiously. This is his blessing. From now on, he can put his heart in his stomach and be a happy prince."

"Oh, I don't know if our family will be able to become the Prince of Xiaoyao in the future." I was talking about the third child.

King Gu's rebellion is confirmed, and Hu Shanggong has no chance of turning the tables.The vengeance has been avenged, and Hongye should go too.
