Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Chapter 46 Angry Zhu Yunwen

"This"

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai looked at Zhu Yunwen, who was smiling in front of them, and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

On the side, Jiang Li saw the appearance of Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, and immediately understood in his heart that these three people must have come because of Zhu Yunhuan's rebellion.

So he shut up wisely.

Huang Zicheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, what Commander Jiang said is true. The grandson of the Emperor Yunhu really did rebel. The three of us are here precisely for this matter."

"What?" Zhu Yunwen's expression froze when he heard Huang Zicheng's words.

"Your Majesty, although we also find it hard to believe, Emperor Yunhu's grandson really rebelled," said Fang Xiaoru.

"How is this possible? Zhu Yunwen is rebelling? What is going on?" Zhu Yunwen was dumbfounded and a little confused.

The next second, his expression changed, and he looked uncertain: "Since Zhu Yunhuan's rebellion is true, then the fact that he now has tens of thousands of cavalry under his command is also true?"

"Yes."

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai nodded, their hearts filled with bitterness.

Zhu Yunhuan’s rebellion is not important, but these tens of thousands of cavalrymen are really a headache. Moreover, how these people came out is also something that needs careful consideration.

"Your Majesty, the number of troops under the command of Emperor Yunhu may be exaggerated, and the actual number may not be that large." Jiang Li thought for a moment and spoke out.

Zhu Yunwen's expression didn't improve at all. He frowned and thought to himself, "Tens of thousands of cavalrymen! Zhu Yunhuan, a grandson of the emperor imprisoned behind the walls of Fengyang, absolutely cannot possibly have the means to support such a large force. So, who is supporting him behind the scenes?"

After a moment, a name popped into his mind.

"How is Lan Yu now?" Zhu Yunwen looked up at Jiang Li.

Lan Yu, the top man in the second generation of the Ming Dynasty army, once had the hope of surpassing the military god Xu Da. However, he eventually lost his protection due to the death of Crown Prince Zhu Biao, was brutally liquidated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and now has become a fool.

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard has been monitoring the Duke of Liang. The matter of the Emperor Yunhu's grandson should have nothing to do with him." Jiang Lin shook his head.

"Not Lan Yu? Then who could it be?" Zhu Yunwen was stunned.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen are not something that ordinary people can control. Except for Lan Yu who has a slight chance, no one else is qualified.

"Your Majesty, the top priority now is to quickly put down Zhu Yunhuan's rebellion," said Fang Xiaoru.

"Yes, as a descendant of the royal family, Zhu Yunhuan actually dared to rebel. This behavior is really too bad and must be suppressed quickly." Huang Zicheng also said.

"Your Majesty, I also think that Zhu Yunhuan's rebellion should be suppressed as soon as possible to avoid more serious consequences." Qi Tai echoed.

The three of them had the same attitude. Faced with Zhu Yunhuan's rebellion, they quickly suppressed it.

Zhu Yunwen's expression changed for a while, and then he said to Jiang Li, "Jiang Li, go call Duke Cao over."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jiang Li nodded and turned to leave.

Huang Zicheng looked at Zhu Yunwen's gloomy expression, thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Zhu Yunwen's rebellion at this time is not entirely a bad thing."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Zhu Yunwen looked up at Huang Zicheng with a puzzled look.

In his view, Zhu Yunhuan's sudden rebellion disrupted his plan to reduce the power of the princes and might even cause the princes to rebel. This was simply the worst possible news. "Your Majesty, this is a critical moment to reduce the power of the princes. Zhu Yunhuan's emergence at this time is just the right time to be used as an example."

"If the imperial court can quickly destroy it, those princes with ulterior motives will probably never dare to move again." Huang Zicheng said.

Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised, "Mr. Huang, what you said makes sense. Your words remind me of an anecdote I once read. This tactic seems to be called killing the chicken to scare the monkey, right?"

"Yes." Huang Zicheng nodded.

Zhu Yunwen smiled again and shook his head, saying, "This Zhu Yunxun is really clueless. He should just stay behind the high walls of Fengyang. Maybe he can still survive."

At this point, he paused, thinking of sending Wang Yue to kill Zhu Yunhuan behind the high walls of Fengyang. Then, without changing his expression, he changed the subject: "I don't know who is behind Zhu Yunhuan's rebellion."

"It's hard to say. It could be the princes who are unwilling to reduce the power of their fiefdoms, or it could be the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty outside the country." Qi Tai said.

"No matter what, since Zhu Yunhuan chose to rebel this time, he is seeking his own death. Don't blame me." Zhu Yunwen shook his head, a cold look flashing in his eyes.

If he had known that Zhu Yunhuan would rebel, he would not have sent Wang Yue to the high walls of Fengyang. Besides, a secret assassination is no match for an open and aboveboard execution.

"Do you think my fourth uncle is also involved in this?" Zhu Yunwen thought of Zhu Di.

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai frowned.

"Some time ago, Ge Cheng sent me a letter saying that my fourth uncle has given up the idea of ​​rebelling against me and is hesitating whether to surrender to me." Zhu Yunwen said again.

"Prince Yan surrendered?"

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai were stunned.

"Your Majesty, it is impossible for Prince Yan to surrender. Why would Ge Cheng convey such a message? Was he pretending to surrender before, but actually trying to buy time for Prince Yan?" Huang Zicheng said seriously.

"Yes, I know Prince Yan. He will never submit obediently. It is impossible to ask him to surrender." Fang Xiaoru said.

"Your Majesty, is the letter you are talking about the one that Zhang Xin sent before? May I ask Your Majesty, are you sure that the letter is in Ge Cheng's handwriting?" Qi Tai's expression also became solemn.

Will Zhu Di surrender?
Even if you beat them to death, they won't believe it.

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said, "My three beloved ministers, there's no need to get excited. I think there's still a chance that Fourth Uncle will surrender. After all, he only has Beiping, and the soldiers under his command are all paid by the Ming Dynasty, not Fourth Uncle."

"Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai looked at Zhu Yunwen's appearance, their hearts sank, and they were also a little confused.

Before, Zhu Yunwen was thinking of taking down Zhu Di by force, but why did his attitude suddenly change, and he even had the ridiculous idea that Zhu Di would surrender.

"Your Majesty, Duke Cao is here." Jiang Lin walked over, followed by Li Jinglong.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Li Jinglong stepped forward and bowed.

"Jinglong, there's no need to be so polite. Jiang Li told you everything on the way, right? Zhu Yunwen, that hateful guy, actually rebelled." Zhu Yunwen stepped forward to help Li Jinglong up, saying with gritted teeth.

Although suppressing Zhu Yunhuan could intimidate the vassal kings, he was still very angry that Zhu Yunhuan dared to rebel.

A loser like you dares to rebel and provoke him. He really doesn't know how to live or die!
