In Nanjing, many people went to join in the fun because of Hao Fenglou's marriage. Although there were not many people in the streets, many people with great reputations went there. After all, Hao Jiaguang sent invitations and gave them marriages. He should go there without looking at monks and Buddha's faces.

Relying on Zhengyangmen, large houses appear and loom among the shady trees. Most of them are mansions of nobles, one by one. Because they are leaning against the palace city and the terrain is high, the road paved with stone bricks is a bit rugged.

At this time, a carriage was parked steadily at Duke Cao's mansion. The person who got off the car was wearing plain clothes and was idle. He stepped on a high stool and got off the car. A servant immediately brought him an umbrella.

Seeing this, the gated man at the door hurriedly came over to greet him: "Your Highness, the prince and several marquis have been waiting for a long time."

The visitor had a fair face, a pampered and a little fat figure, but his attitude was pretty good, and he smiled, but his eyes didn't even look at this Ding Yi, and whispered: "Let's lead."

The gang Ding took the His Highness into the inner house. There were already many guests sitting in it. This was a small hall with the sun on the hall, so the light was not good. Several people sat in their seats and raised their cups to have tea. When Duke Cao Li Jinglong saw the His Highness, he quickly stood up and saluted and said, "Your Highness King Gu is here, and you are in a farewell to welcome him."

Everyone stood up one after another...

The visitor was Zhu Li, the 19th son of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. He was smart and studious since childhood and was highly valued by Zhu Yuanzhang. He was immediately enthroned as King of Gu. He commanded Shanggu County and "Xuanfu Town, one of the nine towns in the Great Wall". After Zhu Li's vassal of Xuanfu, he built the Gu Wang Mansion and carried out border construction. Among the several real-powered vassal kings during the Jianwen period, in addition to King Yan Zhu Di and King Ning Zhu Quan, the King of Gu Zhu Li. Later, Jianwen

The vassals were reduced and they began to attack the vassal kings. Seeing that the situation was not good, King Gu Zhu Shi asked to return to the capital on the grounds of his health. Jianwen naturally wanted it and wanted him to leave the vassal state, so he recalled him to the capital and sent officials to manage his vassal state. Perhaps because His Highness Gu was too good at being too good, Jianwen set King Gu as a model. Therefore, he was very generous to King Gu after entering the capital, and even entrusted him with important tasks and ordered him to act as the defense of the capital.

There is no need to mention the matter after that. Zhu Di drove straight in, and Li Jinglong was instigated to rebel. When the city gate was opened, the king of Gu Zhu Shi saw it and said nothing. He immediately ordered people to open the city gate to greet Zhu Di.

From the Jianwen Dynasty to the Yongle Dynasty, Zhu Shi has always been a winner. He was a role model for the vassal kings. When he arrived in the Yongle Dynasty, he became the best proof that the vassal kings competed to welcome Zhu Di. Zhu Shi was very compatible.

It's just a pity. The good days are not long now. Zhu Xu hopes to go back to his Xuan Mansion. After all, he holds 100,000 troops in Xuan Mansion and manages a county in Shanggu. There is a local emperor who can do whatever he wants. As a result, there have been rumors in the palace that his Majesty wanted to change his order to Changsha. When he heard the news, Zhu Xu's expression changed. Changsha is not a good place, and it's fine to have many mountains there. The most important thing is that going there is an equivalent of a ban. This is obviously a way for the emperor to boil a frog in warm water.

Zhu Shi had already sat down at this time, pressed his hand at Li Jinglong, and smiled and said, "You guy was in Wangyue Tower the day before yesterday. I saw your car and sedan chair. I wanted to ask you to have a drink, but before I asked someone to invite you, you were gone." As he spoke, he nodded to several other Dukes and Marquis.

Everyone returned the gifts.

Li Jinglong smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is no wonder I am. I went there once, but I was feeling uncomfortable and lost interest. I just left. Life is not easy now. Look at the imperial court's palace newspaper. People come to scold me every now and then. Today I say I don't know how to check it out, and tomorrow I say I am ruining the country. This is rare. What country did I miss? "

Zhu Xiao smiled and knew that Li Jinglong was going to get to the point. He put his hand on several tables: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. This is the reason. There is no groundless matter in this world. Without the acquiescence of the superior, who dares to cause trouble for you, Duke Cao? Just say it, now it is the emperor and the minister. Now it has become the fish on the chopping board and is slaughtered by others."

The other princes suddenly became solemn, and they sighed one by one, but they couldn't help but look a little hopeful in their eyes. Everyone refused to say a word, and they all looked at Zhu Yue.

Zhu Shi took a sip of tea and said bitterly: "So, if I had known today, why would it be like this? If Emperor Jianwen was there, why would it be like this? At least we were still deeply trusted and the court entrusted it with a heavy trust. Now? Now, it is not a person inside or outside. King Ning Zhu Quan raised an army with King Yan. Among the more than 100,000 troops of the Yan army, King Ning's subordinates accounted for three or four. King Yan promised to rule the world with King Ning in the future. But now? Now, the father and son of King Ning were bullied by a small thousand households, and the dignified nobles suffered such a great shame and humiliation. The royal bloodline was practiced by others. At this point, what is the difference between living and dead?"

Li Jinglong took the opportunity to say, "That's right, I heard that King Ning was already unable to bear it anymore and planned to do something big!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's expression became even more serious.

King Zhu Lu suddenly stood up, his face looked like a pig's liver. He walked back and forth anxiously for a few steps before saying, "What did King Ning say?"

Li Jinglong said: "King Ning said that he did what he deserved, and after the matter was completed, he would like to recommend the wise and wise royal family to take charge of the overall situation."

Zhu Shi's eyes flashed and he sneered: "King Ning is so arrogant, what do you think?"

In fact, everyone here knows many things. No one is fool. The person who is in charge of contacting everyone is Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong has already agreed on a date. Today is a meeting. What should be prepared for is ready, just wait for the last sentence to take action.

Everyone looked at each other. They were all people who hated Zhu Di to the core. Although they were not Jianwen and his gang, even when Zhu Di entered Nanjing, they all rushed to lead the way for Zhu Di. However, when they found out later that they not only did not get any benefits from it, but might even face a catastrophe, they knew that they had no choice at this time.

But even so, when they planned this, whether they were full of hatred or gritting their teeth, their hearts could not help but skip a beat when the incident happened.

The hall fell silent and no one dared to nod.

Zhu Shi slapped the table and said, "Are you going back now?"

A word woke up the people in their dreams. Now, they can't turn back.

Li Jinglong said: "Since that's the case, what are you waiting for?"

"We are willing to die." Everyone said one after another.

Zhu Shi smiled, a trace of fierceness flashed through his eyes and said, "Okay, very good, that's it. Things must have been done. There are my guards on the Jinchuan Gate, with nearly 800 people. These 800 people were brought by me from Xuanfu. They are the most trustworthy. They are still guarding Jinchuan Gate. At midnight, when I listen to my order, the Jinchuan Gate will open, and the Taining Guard will enter the city. Then they will immediately surround the Forbidden City and occupy the governor's office of the Five Army. No other personal troops are afraid of it. Now the city is empty, and the snakes and rats at both ends of the Knight Camp will dare not act rashly. Other guards are mixed with dragons and snakes. As long as we control the capital, more and more people will cling to it. Finally, Zhu Di will trap the Forbidden City. Even if Zhu Di has three heads and six arms, he will definitely die."

Zhu Shi paused for a moment and then continued: "After the matter begins, you must lead your own troops to occupy all the important places in Tianjin..."

Li Jinglong said: "Your Highness is very much, but... there is a small problem. The most difficult thing in the capital is the personal army of the twenty-two guards. As for the capital camp, they may not be devoted to Zhu Di. Only this personal army was placed by Zhu Di as his confidant. The total number of personal army of the twenty-two guards is as many as tens of thousands of soldiers. Once they rescue the troops, the soldiers and horses at our hands may not be able to succeed."

Zhu Shi smiled slightly and said, "The wonderful thing is here. In the palace, I have ordered people to arrange it. In an hour, several palaces in the palace will catch fire. Once the fire breaks out, what will happen then?"

Li Jinglong said: "The palace is naturally nervous, so you must step up your garrison to check whether there are assassins hidden in the palace."

Zhu Shihe nodded and said, "That's the reason. Once the fire breaks out, most of the personal troops on duty or not on duty will be transferred into the palace. At that time, the city will be empty. We will cause trouble again tonight, occupy the city, and order people to block the city gates. Even if there are many personal troops, we will catch turtles in the jar. Let's wait and see, the fire will be about to rise."

Li Jinglong and others were full of complexity, with a little excitement and a little uneasy.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

At noon, thick smoke suddenly emerged from the Forbidden City, and the smoke rolled into the sky.

The Hao family had already worshipped their parents and Gaotang. Empress Xu arranged to watch the ceremony and nodded with a smile. However, when someone exclaimed, her embroidered eyebrows slightly sank. I don’t know what happened. At this time, a eunuch rushed in and said, “Empress, Empress… The big thing is not good. There is a fire in the direction of Jingtai Palace and Wu Pavilion, and the fire is quite strong…”

Everyone on the high hall was shocked. Hao Fenglou held the red rope in his hand, and he couldn't help but froze and was a little at a loss. The guests showed uneasy one by one. Some wanted to go out and take a look, some looked pale, and Queen Xu pursed her red lips, but smiled and said, "It's just a little fire, it's not a big deal. Everyone doesn't have to pay attention to it. Hao Fenglou, you continue to be your relative."
