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

Chapter 8 Ge Cheng's betrayal

"Your Majesty, be careful, there may be a trap!" Huang Zicheng said with a serious expression.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Zhu Di sent people to Yingtian Prefecture at this time, there must be some trick up his sleeve.

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand: "I know what's going on."

It didn't take long.

Ge Cheng came before Zhu Yunwen and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, I, Ge Cheng, pay my respects to you!"

"Ge Qing, please get up quickly." Zhu Yunwen stepped forward quickly and helped Ge Cheng up, his expression kind: "The road was bumpy, Ge Qing, I'm afraid you didn't get much rest all the way. You must not get up early tomorrow."

He may not be very talented, but his acting ability is absolutely top-notch.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ge Cheng was very moved.

Huang Zicheng rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Master Ge, His Majesty is so kind to you, it's really enviable!"

"Lord Ge, if I were you, I would definitely die for His Majesty." Qi Tai echoed.

Fang Xiaoru shook his head and said, "Master Qi, you are wrong to say that you learned the civil and martial arts and sold them to the emperor. Master Ge is a minister of Your Majesty. Isn't it right for him to die for His Majesty? Just like us, if Your Majesty needs us, we can die at any time."

"Lord Fang is right. I made a slip of the tongue. I should slap myself in the face." Qi Tai showed a look of sudden realization on his face and reached out to slap himself in the face.

"What's the matter with death? Ge Qing, don't listen to their nonsense."

"We all have to live, and live well."

"By the way, how is Ge Qing doing in Peking? Is life hard at home?"

Zhu Yunwen shook his head and asked.

"This"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am doing well in Peking, and my family is doing well."

Ge Cheng hesitated for a moment and said respectfully.

"Okay, Ge Qing just returned to Yingtian Prefecture. He must be exhausted from the journey."

"Go back and rest early. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand.

Ge Cheng looked a little conflicted and did not leave immediately.

"how?"

"Does Ge Qing have anything else to do?"

Zhu Yunwen asked aloud.

Ge Cheng sighed inwardly and bowed: "I'll take my leave!"

"Hmph!" Zhu Yunwen looked at Ge Cheng's back and his face turned cold.

He had just put down his imperial airs and was asking Ge Cheng about his well-being, but he didn't expect that Ge Cheng still refused to betray Zhu Di, which made him very unhappy.

Huang Zicheng smiled broadly and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I think Ge Cheng has wavered. If we put in a little more effort, we might be able to take him down."

He didn't expect that Ge Cheng would be so easy to deal with.

"Lord Huang is right, Your Majesty. It was absolutely a huge mistake for Prince Yan to send Ge Cheng to respond to Tianfu." Qi Tai was also very excited.

Zhu Di must have been secretly eyeing the throne. He, Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru all shared the same idea.

Therefore, if Ge Cheng betrayed Zhu Di, the situation would become clearer.

As Zhu Di's chief historian, Ge Cheng must know many of Zhu Di's secrets. Once there is solid evidence of Zhu Di's misconduct, Yingtian Prefecture can take action.

"I share the same idea as Lord Huang and Lord Qi. The question now is whether Ge Cheng is truly willing to turn from evil to good, or is he doing it on purpose."

"If it's the former, then it's absolutely impeccable good news."

"But if it's the latter, what is King Yan's purpose?"

Fang Xiaoru spoke out.

"What else could it be? He must be gathering information for the King of Yan in Yingtian Prefecture."

"If Ge Cheng is unwilling to betray Prince Yan in the end, we can just arrest him and then accuse Prince Yan of a crime."

Huang Zicheng said.

He is very skilled at creating something out of nothing, without having to think at all.

"Don't make things complicated."

"Your Majesty, with just a little more effort, you can take down Ge Cheng."

"In this situation, there's no need to arrest anyone, lest there be major changes."

Fang Xiaoru thought about it, shook his head, and said, "I also think it's best to wait. Although arresting Ge Cheng is the safest option, it's also prone to accidents."

"If Ge Cheng were to betray the King of Yan, it would be of great benefit to us."

Qi Tai thought about it and spoke out loud.

Finally, the three of them turned their eyes to Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment and said, "You all saw what Ge Cheng did just now. Give him two days. If he still refuses to change his ways after two days, it won't be too late to arrest him then."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing Zhu Yunwen speak, Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai bowed and agreed.

Although in their eyes, Zhu Yunwen was very easy to fool, but when Zhu Yunwen made a decision, they would not dissuade him.

Since ancient times, honest advice has been unpleasant to the ears.

What they wanted was to monopolize power, not to contradict Zhu Yunwen.

In particular, they now have to rely on Zhu Yunwen to seize power.

Now that they have offended Zhu Yunwen, wouldn't all their previous efforts be in vain?
In the yard!
Ge Cheng looked conflicted.

He was flattered by Zhu Yunwen's attitude.

As the chief secretary under Zhu Di, he was well aware of the conflict between Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen.

Originally, he followed Zhu Di wholeheartedly.

But Zhu Yunwen's attitude caused some changes in his heart.

There is.

The apparent gap between Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di was too huge.

To put it bluntly, in his eyes, everything Zhu Di is doing now is a futile struggle. As long as Zhu Yunwen does not do anything stupid, Zhu Di has no chance of winning at all.

He had no chance before and could only follow Zhu Di.

But at this moment, Zhu Yunwen's attitude made him see an opportunity.

"Should we take advantage of this opportunity and directly side with Zhu Yunwen?"

After some deep thought.

Ge Cheng made a decision, he wanted to abandon Zhu Di.

This golden opportunity was right in front of him, and he didn't want to miss it.

Following Zhu Di would eventually lead to death, but joining Zhu Yunwen might make him famous in history. The difference between the two is too big.

"call"

Ge Cheng took a deep breath and went into the palace overnight.

After deciding to abandon Zhu Di, he was unwilling to wait even a moment longer.

Qianqing Palace!
Lu and Zhu Yunwen, mother and son, were talking.

"I heard that the King of Yan sent someone back to the capital?"

"Well, Fourth Uncle sent back a man named Ge Cheng. However, this Ge Cheng might be won over by me."

"The people of King Yan are not simple. You'd better be careful and never be careless."

"Don't worry, mother. I understand."

Wang Yue came over and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Ge Cheng requests an audience!"

Zhu Yunwen was stunned at first, then he showed an unconcealable joy on his face: "Please come in!"

He seemed to have vaguely guessed Ge Cheng's purpose.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Yue nodded and turned to leave.

Mrs. Lu was a little surprised and said, "Your Majesty, Ge Cheng is asking for an audience at this time."

"It should be good."

"It seems that Fourth Uncle is very unpopular!"

Zhu Yunwen interrupted Lu and looked excited.

Zhu Di's men were subdued on the first day they arrived in Yingtian Prefecture.

"hehe!"

Mrs. Lu smiled and stood up: "You go ahead and do your work. I'll go back first."
