The twenty-six-year-old Zhu Zanyi was the second generation of King Jingjiang. His grandfather Zhu Wenzheng was the nephew of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. However, in recent years, he has been in poor health and often ill in bed, so he feels that he can't live long.

At that time, 100,000 government troops on Guangxi were defeated and surrendered. The rebels defeated the Japanese troops at the city of Guilin. The news had already reached the Jingjiang Palace. But Zhu Zanyi had no concern about this. What he was most sad was that his long-term illness could not be cured and his life was worrying, and he still cared about the two uncles fighting for the throne?

At this moment, the chief minister Xiao Yongdao asked to enter. When Xiao Yongdao saw Zhu Zanyi, he said, "Prince, the governor Lei Tian wants to see him, and said he has important matters to discuss."

"I don't care about Guilin Mansion's affairs... Cough cough! What did he ask me for?" Zhu Zanyi frowned and said, "If it is related to the royal mansion, Xiao Changshi will deal with it for me."

Xiao Yongdao was a civil servant of the Jianwen Dynasty. Later, he surrendered to Emperor Yongle and was sent to the Prince Jingjiang Mansion of Guilin to be the chief minister. Zhu Zanyi knew Xiao Yongdao's background and must be responsible for monitoring him. However, Emperor Yongle passed away last year, and now Zhu Zanyi is in poor health, so he doesn't want to care about those things anymore.

"In the opinion of the lower officials, Lei Tian means to persuade the prince to leave Guilin. In this way, he can use the excuse to escort the prince and take the opportunity to escape from Guilin." Xiao Yongdao said directly.

Zhu Zanyi said a little angry: "I won't go anywhere! Instead of dying on the road, why don't I die at my own home? Lei Tian wants to run away, what's the matter for me?" Zhu Zanyi gasped for a while, and said, "The rebel leader, King Han, when it comes to it, I have to call him uncle. What if he doesn't do with me, his half-dead nephew?"

Xiao Yongdao listened carefully and said calmly: "But Prince, you have to think about the way out for the two princes."

Although Zhu Zanyi was in poor health, he was still very clear at this time and suddenly understood what Xiao Yongdao meant. Although Zhu Zanyi was about to die, the Jingjiang Palace was to be inherited, so he had to face a choice before he died.

If Zhu Zanyi chose the wrong person, the Jingjiang Palace might not have been abolished, because no emperor wanted to bear a bad reputation and was mean and rude to Zhu Wenzheng's lineage; but the problem is that Zhu Zanyi has eight younger brothers! The court has many choices.

"What good advice does Changshi Xiao have?" Zhu Zanyi's disapproving expression disappeared and she asked very seriously.

Xiao Yongdao was chosen by Emperor Taizong, but after Emperor Taizong passed away, he might not be loyal to anyone; so Xiao Yongdao's suggestions can still be heard.

"It's important, so the officials dare not speak lightly, but..." Xiao Yongdao leaned over and whispered, "The officials have a plan. The prince is unwilling to leave Guilin, and only says he is in good health. You have two princes, choose one to stay, and the other will fill in the capital with Lei. What do you think?"

"Will it be unpleasant to both ends?" Zhu Zanyi asked.

Xiao Yongdao shook his head and said, "It should be fine if the prince does not publicly become an enemy of one side. Since the prince stays in Guilin Mansion, it is best to send his eldest son to the capital."

"Call Lei Tian in to meet him." Zhu Zanyi said.

After waiting for a long time, the governor of Guangxi Lei Tian was taken to the bedroom of King Jingjiang. Zhu Zanyi had already gotten up and was sitting weakly on a thick chair.

...Lei Tian was a pale-faced civil servant. He was bowing forward at this time and could not hide his worried expression.

Governor Lei Tian himself is a central official in charge of the court; the court sent him a Beijing official to the governor of Guangxi to supervise the local governments so as not to surrender too easily. Now that the capital of a province is about to offer the city, Lei Tian does not want to stay and urge the officials and the people to defend the city, but wants to run away quickly... Such things are indeed easy to be impeached!

So Lei Tian thought of King Jingjiang.

After seeing the ceremony, he couldn't wait to persuade: "The Marquis of Jiangyin was defeated, and many officials surrendered. But there were also loyal and brave men who were loyal and brave until death! These people had just returned to Guilin Mansion, and were all brave and good at fighting with a sincere heart, and would be able to escort the prince to the capital smoothly."

"I'm not long after my life." Zhu Zanyi suddenly said.

Lei Tian was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Zanyi said, "I can't travel a long distance with my body. Alas! If I want to leave Guilin Mansion, I will die on the road. Moreover, I can't bear to leave the hundreds of beauties I have loved in the mansion. After doing this, Governor Lei will take away my eldest son Zuo Jing and his wife Geng."

Lei Tian was immediately overjoyed when he heard this! His face turned red with excitement... If he could escort the eldest son of King Jingjiang from here, it would be the same as escorting King Jingjiang himself.

He hurriedly bowed happily and said, "The prince is wise. Among the soldiers who came back from the front line, Geng Hao, the son-in-law of the Marquis of Jiangyin, happened to be the same surname as Mrs. Geng, who was the same family. Maybe they were relatives. They would do their best to protect the safety of Mrs. Prince."

Zhu Zanyi frowned and said, "I heard that after Marquis of Jiangyin was knocked out, he got the King of Han and surrendered. Will his son-in-law surrender with him?"

Lei Tian almost patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, General Geng has great righteousness, otherwise he would not have to go back to the city, and he would surrender with Wu Gao's people on the battlefield."

"It's reasonable." Zhu Zanyi nodded.

Lei Tian couldn't help but urged: "The rebel king's army is less than a hundred miles away from Guilin Mansion; its cavalry vanguard may arrive early. At this critical moment, the officials and others dare not neglect at all, so as not to fall into danger. I hope the prince will order the prince to pack his bags as soon as possible, and we will set off today!"

Zhu Zanyi said: "After an hour, you will ask the official guards to come to the north gate of the royal palace to pick up people."

Lei Tian bowed and said, "Sir, please say goodbye."

...After an hour, Geng Hao and Lei Tian waited for a team of people and arrived outside the gate tower of the Jingjiang Palace and waited.

Before, when Wu Gao, the Marquis of Jiangyin, led the army, Geng Hao did not have any military power. Because his father-in-law felt that he had no experience in fighting formations and was afraid of making serious business, he asked him to follow the army to do things like conveying military orders; at the same time, he increased his knowledge and marching and setting up formations.

But now Geng Hao transformed himself and immediately surpassed all the generals of the remnants of the remnants of the city, and became the actual leader of the remnants; it was because of the recognition of the Governor of Guangxi and other officials.

Those cavalry soldiers had military generals, but they were all low-level military generals; the governor Lei Tian knew no one. In comparison, Lei Tian was more willing to believe in nobles from good backgrounds, such as Geng Hao... the famous founding hero Changxing Hou, the legitimate grandson of the Marquis of Jiangyin Hou, and the son-in-law of Wu Gao! Although Changxing Hou had his family destroyed and Jiangyin Hou had surrendered to the rebels, in the eyes of officialdom, Geng Hao was still more reliable than ordinary military households who were born in a mud-legged manner.

After waiting for a long time, a fleet of carriages and horses came out of the gatehouse of the royal mansion.

At this time, Geng Hao heard Lei Tian speak in a tone of his own, "We have to walk faster, so those carriages are burdensome! But let's not speak first. After leaving the city, we will advise the people of the Jingjiang Palace to abandon the carriage and ride on horses."

Geng Hao nodded quickly and bowed with his fists.

Seeing that the nobles respected him so much, Lei Tian looked very useful on his face. Although Geng Hao has lived like a broken dog in recent years, when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but think: Aristocrats are nobles!

The chariot and horses approached the cavalry team, and a civil servant came up to greet each other, and everyone greeted each other for a few words.

At this moment, the curtains of a luxurious carriage were lifted open, and a young lady inside showed her face; looking in through the window, there was a few-year-old boy wearing a dragon robe. It seemed that the woman was Geng, one of the wives of King Jingjiang, and the child was Zhu Zuojing, the eldest son of King Jingjiang.

"General Geng, I heard that the Marquis of Jiangyin was forced by the soldiers and surrendered to the King of Rebellion. I have something to ask, I hope you don't blame me. Why don't you go with Marquis of Jiangyin?" Geng asked softly, as if she was worried.

These noble ladies in the royal palace hardly leave the palace gate, and must be relatively timid when traveling far away.

When Geng Hao was suddenly asked, he immediately thought of his cousin Mu Zhen. His delicate and handsome little face was so beautiful and his graceful figure was so tempting. He laughed like a bell, like a fairy!

Moreover, before the King of Han appeared, they were obviously very compatible with each other, and the previous generations decided on beautiful things, and they were in love with each other. Until the good sex person appeared, they completely destroyed everything.

When she thought of Mu Zhen being stolen, she might have even thrown her arms into her arms and stroking her smooth and white skin for others to touch her, Geng Hao's heart was bleeding. He could not control the unbearable scene. Mu Zhen was breathing under someone else and was ravaged by the strong man. Not only did she feel ashamed, but she was also intoxicated! Thinking of her cousin's voice so nicely, she spit out dirty words. At this time, Geng Hao felt mixed feelings and was simply angry.

He not only hated the King of Han, but also hated Mu Zhen; he was so kind to Mu Zhen, but what he got was betrayal! Betrayal was really the sharp sword that hurts the most.

At this moment, Geng Hao hated all the women and secretly called them all sluts! Just as the saint said, it is hard to raise women and villains.

Geng Hao couldn't kneel down for such an enemy. Whenever he thought of the scene of surrender, his inner shame penetrated into his bones. So how could he surrender to the King of Han?

But he didn't need to say those old things. Geng Hao calmed down and said with his fists: "Reply to his wife's words, although my grandfather was a Marquis of Changxing who was good at fighting, I have read the books of sages since I was a child and understood loyalty, filial piety and righteousness. In the world, loyalty to the king is the best, and loyal ministers are the best. How can I ignore the righteousness because of my personal relationship?"

"Okay!" Geng couldn't help but praise, "General Geng was born in a noble family, well-educated, well-off, and well-off. He is also a talented person. He is truly a good minister of the saints and the country is very lucky!"

Although he knew that the lady was just saying good things, Geng Hao still felt very comfortable in his ears. He immediately said with politeness: "Madam is too good. Don't worry, I will swear to protect the lady and the prince to the death and live up to the trust of King Jingjiang."

Mrs. Geng nodded in praise and gently lowered the curtain.
