The Record of Righteousness

"Now that everyone is here, let's discuss business."

"Xinghuai, first tell me what kind of actions my imperial brother did during these days when Gu was absent."

Lu Xinghuai is the commander of the Jinyi Guards and the fourth prince's eyes and ears in the capital.

"Reporting to Your Highness, I have been sending Jin Yiwei to secretly monitor me these days. Dongchang and the Third Battalion are much more alert than before, and many courtiers have come to pay homage to the First Prince."

Zhu Zongxun sneered and said:

"Humph, before the Holy One has even left Hexi, these idiots can no longer hold back."

Lu Xinghuai continued to lower his head and said:

"Your Highness, the eldest prince has been busy going to the palace in recent days. He must be going to meet the Holy Emperor."

Zhu Zongxun tapped his fingers lightly on the table and thought for a while:

"Um"

"Holy Master, I'll go over there after a few days and have a soundbite first. I'll arrange things with you in the next few days."

After he said this, the scene fell into silence. Zhuge Yuanxu shook his feather fan slightly and looked at Lu Guohai.

"Commander Lu's Tiger God Battalion is one of the three major battalions. Commander Lu must pay more attention these days. The soldiers must be restrained and must not go out on business."

Lu Guohai vowed:

"That's natural. Everyone in our battalion has their hearts set on His Highness. If someone else is allowed to ascend the throne, we, the soldiers of the Tiger God Battalion, will be the first to refuse!"

Zhu Zongxun laughed and praised:

"Okay! This is the momentum you want."

Zhuge Yuanxu looked sideways at Yang Huai and said:

"Eunuch Yang, the soldiers and horses of the Royal Horse Supervisor must be on call at all times."

Yang Huai naturally knew that Zhuge Yuanxu was the guest staff of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and said calmly:

"Mr. Zhuge, don't worry. Our family has been in charge of the Royal Horse Prison for more than ten years. Our family knows the heart and heart of the subordinates best. Your Highness can rest assured."

"Okay! Lao Yang, you have grown up with Gu since you were a child. You are the most trustworthy person in Gu."

"I will do anything for His Highness, and I will not hesitate to do so! Even if you want me to bump into my head and die here today, I will never say no!"

When Yang Huai heard this, his old face suddenly trembled, his nose became sore, and he almost shed tears of emotion.

Zhuge Yuan looked at Lu Xinghuai and said calmly:

"As for Jin Yiwei's manpower, it can remain as usual."

"Historically, you, the Jin Yiwei, have been overpowered by Dongchang. If this happens, the day will come when you, the Jin Yiwei, can turn around."

Lu Xinghuai buried his head deeply.

"Yes! I will not hesitate to go through fire and water for His Highness even though I am humble enough to do so!"

Zhu Zongxun and Zhuge Yuanxu looked at each other. The former looked at Wan Qing and asked:

"Wan Qing, I heard Mr. Zhuge say that you have a good relationship with Fang Daqing, the governor of Shandong?"

Wan Qing came out of the queue, clasped his fists and replied respectfully:

"Back to Your Highness, it is indeed true. Before taking the humble post, he worked under Fang Daqing in suppressing bandits in Shandong. At that time, he was just a general soldier in Shandong."

Zhu Zongxun said:

"Nagu wants you to draft a letter to him and teach him to raise an army to serve the king three days after receiving the letter!"

"Your Highness, I don't have a close relationship with him because of my humble position, I'm afraid."

At this time, another man was also quite doubtful. His name was He Shengguo, and he was the deputy commander of the Shenji Battalion.

"Your Highness, how did you know that Daqing would definitely raise troops to help you? What if he not only refuses to help you but leaks the secret after receiving the letter, what should you do?"

Zhu Zongxun did not answer this question, but Zhuge Yuan smiled faintly and replied:

"Haha, this is not simple. The secret letter said that the Holy One was supposed to be enthroned by His Highness, but the eldest prince did not obey the Holy One's decree and wanted to raise an army to cause chaos. He asked Daqing to help him and raise troops to serve the king."

Lu Guohai suddenly understood, clasped his fists and praised:

"Sir, what a clever plan!"

"Then I'm going to draft a letter right now?"

Zhu Zongxun nodded and said:

"Well, without further ado! Do it now."

Just when he was about to find paper and pen, Wan Qing suddenly stopped and listened, his eyes solemn and his brows furrowed.

Everyone knew something was wrong at first glance. Lu Xinghuai clenched the handle of the knife, looking nervous, and couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong?"

"Shh!"

Wan Qinglian made a booing gesture to signal everyone not to act rashly, and then whispered:

"Reporting to Your Highness, there is a group of people on the tiles outside, probably heading towards where we are waiting."

"oh?"

Zhu Zongxun frowned, looked around and around his confidants, and realized that they were all here, and said:

"But I only called you confidants here, and I never called anyone else."

Zhuge Yuanxu hit the nail on the head.

"That must be an assassin sent by someone!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately became extremely vigilant, drew out their blades and surrounded Zhu Zongxun.

In an instant, there was dead silence in the room, and everyone raised their ears to listen to what was going on outside.

"Don't panic, let's go out and take a look."

Wan Qing quietly left a word and walked out slowly. After opening the door, the candles in the candlesticks outside were bright. There was no one in sight, and the voice just now was completely gone. There was only a breeze. The rustling sound of the brush.

Could it be that I am being suspicious?

At this moment, a tile on the roof slid slightly, followed by a bang!

"There are assassins! There are assassins!!!"

The group of guards all drew their swords and rushed forward.

"Protect His Highness quickly!"

The tiles on the house rattled, and a big hole was opened, and then men in black fell down one after another!

Each of them had a very long rope with three barbs at the end. As soon as three or two people fell, the flying ropes were dazzling. In the blink of an eye, the group of guards were covered in blood and flesh, and blood was gushing out. More than a dozen guards died with a wailing!
