The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 533 Using Sharp Tongues as Knives
"If any of you dare disobey orders, I will kill your entire family!"

Those in the army naturally possessed a certain spirit, and upon hearing such words from this young master of a powerful family, they were even more enraged.

These people haven't even gained power yet, and they dare to treat them like this. What if His Highness the Crown Prince really dies?

If these guys regain power, there's no way for me to survive.

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled. This guy really was walking into the line of fire. Then he said.

"We are all soldiers, and obeying orders is our duty. We are obeying orders from our superiors. This matter has nothing to do with you. As long as you are willing to turn your spearhead against those rebels, you are still good sons of our Great Ming!"

“You have committed no crime. I swear in the name of the Crown Prince!”

Upon hearing this, the videographers' eyes lit up. Since His Highness the Crown Prince had already given them assurances, they had nothing to worry about, and one by one they put down their weapons.

Some even pointed their weapons at their superiors.

They were very familiar with these generals in the army, and naturally knew which of them came from aristocratic families and which came from the ranks of soldiers.

They had long since grown tired of those powerful families interfering in their affairs; if it weren't for the extraordinary status of these individuals, they would have been dissatisfied long ago.

The general in charge of the troops was extremely flustered when he saw that these people had suddenly betrayed him.

"What are you trying to do? This is an attempt to rebel!"

The soldiers paid no heed and all pointed their weapons at him.

The leading general sighed. As expected, these guys were all unreliable. Fortunately, he had prepared a backup plan.

Upon realizing this location, the leading general immediately set off a firework.

A large number of troops will come from the outside and surround these people.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the soldiers were wearing completely different clothes, and they were arranged in small, individual piles.

Zhu Xiong Ying took a closer look and smiled.

"I was wondering how these guys got such confidence. Turns out they've been secretly raising quite a few troops. Not bad, not bad at all. It's rare to see someone with such audacity!"

"It's just a pity that this army is probably no match for me!"

Zhu Xiong Ying waved his hand, and an army rushed out of his palace.

The leading general was none other than Lu Xiang-sheng.

Lu Xiang-sheng had been following Lan Yu before, and when Zhu Xiong-ying returned, he was transferred back as well. He and some guards had been stationed in this place, and now they have come in handy.

Wu Xiangsheng, wielding a long spear, led his men directly into the ranks of these private soldiers.

These soldiers were a patchwork of people from various families, and there was no real fighting involved. When Lu Xiang-sheng rushed out, he was like a god of war, and the soldiers quickly fell into chaos, with no fighting taking place at all.

At this moment, Lu Xiang-sheng looked at these soldiers who had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and said with a smile.

"It's good that you made the right choice. In that case, follow me and wipe out all these traitors. Use this achievement to clear your name of your previous grievances!"

Upon hearing this, the video players nodded, mustered their strength, and charged towards the army cobbled together by various families.

The two armies clashed instantly, and the allied forces, composed of troops from various powerful families, were torn apart like a piece of paper.

Left with no other choice, they could only flee to another location. The general leading the group was also incredulous at the sight, as the equipment these people were wearing was something that their various families had painstakingly pieced together.

I originally thought that such an army could still play a significant role, but who would have thought that it would be so easily defeated.

They had barely arrived on the battlefield when they were immediately torn to pieces by the enemy.

This is troublesome. Thinking of this place, he felt extremely panicked. Zhu Xiong Ying was already very difficult to deal with when he didn't have an army, but now that Zhu Xiong Ying has an army, he is simply not someone he can handle.

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to escape as quickly as possible, so that he might have a chance to survive. So he hurriedly fled the place.

Zhu Xiong Ying was extremely disdainful. He thought it was wishful thinking for these scholars to want to rebel.

No wonder I once heard a saying: "A scholar's rebellion will never succeed even after ten years."

This is the direction he's looking in towards the palace; there must be other problems inside.

"Yu Huatian, I order you to take the best of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Western Depot and find a way to get into the palace for me."

What exactly happened in the imperial court? We must do everything we can to ensure the safety of the Emperor and the officials!

After receiving the order, Yu Huatian nodded and left the place.

Lu Ben waited in the court for a long time without receiving any news, which made him very puzzled.

At this moment, the general standing to the side looked at Lü Ben and said.

"My lord, now that we have control of the court, why don't we arrest them first? This will give us another trump card. In addition, we can storm into the inner palace and take control of all the princes and concubines there as well!"

"Even if something happens, we'll be able to get out unscathed!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang and his crown prince Zhu Biao took one last look at the general.

Goodness, this guy actually dared to come up with such a terrible idea. After they kill Lü Ben, they must teach this guy a lesson.

Of course, at this moment, Lü Ben said very proudly.

"How dare you! The imperial palace and the inner palace are not places we should go. You should know that we are here to purge the court of corrupt officials, not to rebel. By doing this, you are putting me in an unjust position!"

"There's no need to say more. We have now completely taken control of the city gates and all other areas, and those generals who disobeyed our orders have been placed under house arrest!"

"Is there any power in this world that can deal with us? Don't worry, there won't be any problems!"

Just then, a person stumbled over, his eyes filled with panic.

Lu Ben didn't see the panic on the man's face, assuming it was good news, and felt extremely pleased with himself.

"Great! The news has finally arrived. Zhu Xiong Ying must have already been beheaded!"

However, the man hurriedly said...

"My lord, something terrible has happened! The soldiers at the front have mutinied and are now following His Highness the Crown Prince. The four gates are almost at their breaking point, and they should reach the palace soon!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar, and even Lü Ben's expression darkened considerably.
