Chapter 250 The storm is coming

The commander-in-chief of Yunnan was surrounded by armored soldiers. The dense guns and shields in front were blocked outside the gate, and the musketeers and crossbows behind were waiting for battle. These men and horses were all wearing Ming army armor, and the floating flags had the word "Han".

Outside the gate of the government office, there were also many soldiers holding swords and guns, facing the people outside, but no one dared to act rashly.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu and his group had arrived outside the lobby. Zhu Gaoxu was wearing armor but did not carry weapons.

"Your Highness of the King of Han, you are all your own people, why do you have to have such a big battle?" A man wearing a red official robe said with a fist.

Zhu Gaoxu's kind smile seemed to make the officials feel relieved. He also clasped his fists and said, "Sorry, I've disturbed you. However, I just received a secret report that someone in Dali Prefecture plotted to rebel! It's a big deal, so I have to come up with this bad plan. Please be careful not to be impatient."

The officials asked one after another, "Who rebelled?" "When did it happen..."

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't answer one by one, so he glanced at the eunuch yellow dog. The yellow dog walked to the stone steps in front of the lobby door, unfolded the imperial edict and said, "Imperial edict!"

Everyone immediately walked down the steps and knelt down one after another in the yard.

Huang Gou said, "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the commander said: The governor of Yuezhou, Azi, was unwilling to move forward because of his unyielding nature... The road in Yunnan is far away, and the Dushi will have to use troops in the future, so he will go to the Han Palace and the Xiping Hou Mansion to greet him. I am here."

The officials were confused when they heard the imperial edict, because it was an imperial edict a few months ago. They didn't know what had happened, nor did they understand why they had to recite the old imperial edict again.

Zhu Gaoxu stood up and then said, "Do you all understand the meaning of the court?"

Now I want the Dushi to give a military order to the General, the garrison and the Guards. From now on, the troops of the Dali Prefecture, shall not be mobilized for any reason before obtaining the military order of the Yunnan Dushi, and shall not be mobilized or sent troops for any reason; shall not interfere with the guards of the Han Prince's Mansion. Violators shall be punished for disobeying the military order and intending to rebel! Can all colleagues of the Dushi issue this military order?"

A group of people wearing various official uniforms looked at each other and talked a lot.

At this moment, the commander-in-chief of Yunnan, Cao Long, stood up first and said loudly: "The imperial edict from the court is to use troops in the three departments of Yunnan. If you have to give the prophet to the Han Palace and the Xiping Marquis' Mansion, you must agree to it before you can mobilize the troops. Now, the intention of the King of Han is that the local government guards are not allowed to dispatch troops without authorization. This is a matter of conformity with the law. What's wrong?"

Cao Long just came to the Yunnan ground this year to serve as the commander of the commander of the Ministry of Justice. The officials who had just changed the court immediately expressed their attitude of maintaining the imperial edicts of the Ming Dynasty, which was not surprising.

A moment later, the newly appointed commanders, commanders and other officials also followed suit.

The remaining group of officials did not object, some agreed, and some did not say anything. First, some important official positions in Dusi have been changed this year; second, they have no reason to refute... Zhu Gaoxu did not ask Dusi to use troops, but only asked them to prohibit local mobilization, which was not an exaggeration.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hands and said, "Since that's the case, I'll give the order! In addition, in order to prevent the military aircraft from leaking, I have to avenge you to stay in the yamen for a few days. Later, the royal palace will send you fine wine and delicacies to shock you. There are also some singing girls in the royal palace, which will be sent to everyone in a while."

The officials relaxed a lot, and the yard was noisy. Someone said, "There is no need to be a singer? Since someone rebelled, we are still singing and dancing in the government. What's the point of saying..."

Zhu Gaoxu said, "I was frightened and wronged. You should be fine. You can speak to the generals outside the door if you have any requests. I will respond to any request."

...At this time, there were no soldiers and horses inside and outside the Mu Mansion.

In the mansion, there was a panic atmosphere. The servants walked very quickly, and some even had to run.

"Hiss..." Mu Sheng cracked his mouth and made a light sound. The doctor next to him had just used medicine to clean the wound on his arm.

In addition to the doctor and maid, some family members and civil and military confidants in the hall were standing in the room. Someone asked, "Is the Marquis' sword injury important?"

The doctor said: "Don't worry, if you have any medicines for trauma from the family, you can only wash the wound, use thread to sew it, and then apply external medicine to ensure that the wound is safe."

After hearing this, the person who asked the question looked annoyed and said, "What does the King of Han mean? He transferred so many soldiers and horses to block the four cities and said he wanted to search the assassin, but he hid the assassin first... What is he going to do?!"

Another official muttered: "Can the assassin be sent by the King of Han?"

Mu Sheng finally spoke: "You can't talk nonsense! Is there any evidence to prove that the assassin is behind the assassin? Did anyone see the King of Han hiding the assassin with his own eyes?"

The official whispered: "A passerby really saw it. Mr. Ma was smart and invited witnesses to the mansion..."

"Hmph!" Mu Sheng made a voice, "I'm afraid it's not too easy to find someone who is ordinary to recognize the prince?"

At this moment, a slave ran to the door and gasped and said, "Report to the Marquis, the King of Han has mobilized heavy troops and has surrounded the commander-in-chief!"

Everyone was in an uproar. Mu Sheng immediately asked, "I only surrounded the commander-in-chief? The governor-in-chief, how about the Censor-in-chief?"

The slave bowed and said, "There is no movement elsewhere. I only besieged the Commander Commander. Now no one inside came out, and no one outside could enter. I don't know what happened inside. At this time, the soldiers and horses in the city were mobilized, and people were panic..."

There was a lot of discussion in the hall for a while.

Mu Sheng sat down without saying a word for a while, his face suddenly turned pale and his eyes straightened! He suddenly stood up.

"The prince wait..." said the doctor, "and apply the medicine underneath."

Mu Sheng threw away the sentence "Skin trauma, I can't die!" and left the seat. Everyone was confused and surprised, looking at Mu Sheng's back, so it was unclear.

Mu Sheng quickly walked to the inner house and entered Mrs. Geng's room. The old lady was inconvenient and rarely left the inner house yard. After Mu Sheng was injured, she reported to her first, and then went to the hall to meet the guests. As soon as Mu Sheng entered, he saw her. He waved his hand and asked the servants to retreat while approaching him.

After a while, the Marquis Chen and Mu Zhen also came in.

Mrs. Geng asked with concern: "My son's face is so bad, so he is seriously injured?"

"It doesn't matter if this injury is serious!" Mu Sheng glanced at his wife and daughter, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid that I've been discovered about Tibetans in Dali!"

When Mrs. Geng heard this, she struggled on the chair for a while and sat firmly again, "Why?"

Mu Sheng said: "The King of Han closed the four gates of Kunming and transferred the cavalry out of the city; then led his troops to surround the commander commander... My son was still in the dark at first, thinking that I, a marquis conferred by the Ming Dynasty court, would not dare to stop me even if he was a prince? Then his son suddenly realized that the King of Han was not drunk and lying in the wine, but to block Kunming and convey messages to Dali!"

"What?" Mrs. Geng is old and seems to have not yet understood it. "Why is there no news before?"

Mu Sheng's eyes were already widened: "It is precisely because of this that the King of Han suddenly launched the campaign. The King of Han wanted to send troops to Dali to do that. Even if he transferred cavalry and horses, he could not run faster than the fast horse messenger; so he had to block the news first. If he did not block Kunming, our people in Dali would get the news in advance, be prepared, and respond to the situation..."

Mrs. Geng finally understood. Her hands trembled and her words were a little blurry: "Didn't you say that things are secret and foolproof? How could someone be found without knowing it?"

Mu Sheng almost cried: "My son is careless! He knew that the King of Han and Hu Yi came to Yunnan and both of them might have to investigate this matter. But he thought that they had no connections in Yunnan. Even if they could find Dali, there would always be some movement and reveal traces in advance. Who knew that there was no news at all, and they would investigate it so soon."

"Don't be anxious, Sheng'er." Mrs. Geng said, "It's just your momentary guess. Maybe that's not the case."

Mu Sheng shook his head and said, "Apart from that, my son can't think of any other reason for the King of Han to do these things... My son had known that the King of Han was not a reckless man, but he still underestimated him, alas!"

After he said that, he was still sighing freely, looking regretful and depressed.

At this moment, Mu Zhen said in a childish voice: "Dad, who is the person you are hiding?"

Chen pulled Mu Zhen, "How could you talk too much?"

Mu Sheng paced around the room, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Old lady, old lady..." Chen's voice suddenly shouted. Mu Sheng hurriedly walked to the front of the chair and was about to call someone, but he saw that Mrs. Geng had opened her eyes a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's over, don't be too anxious."

Mrs. Geng said nothing.

Mu Sheng turned around and whispered to Chen, "The four cities in Kunming are closed at the moment, and it's too late for us to do anything... But you still have to prepare first. Once this matter is indeed as I expected, you will take your mother, Mu Bin, and Mu Zhen out of the mansion quickly, hide first, and find an opportunity to leave Kunming City!"

Chen asked in a daze: "Has things reached this point?"

Mu Sheng nodded and said, "I also want to see that I guessed wrong! But if I guessed wrongly, this matter would touch the resolute scales on the ground. I am afraid that the Mu family and the whole family will not escape this disaster!"

"Marquis..." Chen's eyes were filled with tears.

Mrs. Geng said weakly: "Why are you leaving this old bone? Sheng'er, please keep calm first. Although you made a lot of sense, hasn't the matter happened yet?"

Mu Sheng nodded and said, "My son is one step late in this matter. I dare not prepare for everything in the future."

Mrs. Geng said again: "Sheng'er was encountered assassin. Laosen heard that the King of Han protected the assassin. Who is the assassin? What's going on?"

Mu Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. No one knows who the assassin is, nor why the King of Han wants to protect the assassin... But the assassin is definitely not the King of Han, so why should the King of Han do such a thing?"
