Chapter 1503 The Cage of Rights
Chapter 1501: The Cage of Rights
Guo Jia's guess was absolutely correct. Most of Zhu Yuanzhang's coup plans came from Fan Zeng, and it was Fan Zeng who was secretly stirring up the situation.
But there was one thing that Guo Jia really couldn't figure out. He and Fan Zeng had fought many times, and each time his shots were very clean and neat, without revealing any flaws. Logically speaking, Fan Zeng didn't find anything wrong.
Fan Zeng’s previous reactions were all normal, but how come he suddenly had an enlightenment and suddenly discovered so many weaknesses within the Ming court?
What Guo Jia didn’t know was that he did not reveal any flaws, but he could not hold back his teammates. If Zhang Liang had not exposed himself on his own initiative, Fan Zeng would never have realized this.
“What should we do now?” Shangguan Yan asked with a solemn expression.
“First, let’s reflect back the true situation of the Ming Dynasty. As for your Majesty’s side…”
A strange look flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, and he said coldly: "There is definitely something wrong with Zhang Liang. It is absolutely impossible to hide the plans of Fan Zeng and Zhu Yuanzhang from Zhang Liang, but he did not remind Emperor Ming."
Shangguan Yan couldn't help but be surprised: "Are you saying that Zhang Liang has defected to Zhu Yuanzhang?"
“No, Zhang Liang is a man of his word. He will never go back on his word once he makes it. It is unlikely that he will break his promise and seek refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang.”
Guo Jia shook his head, but then he had a headache and said: "But it is true that he did not wake up Emperor Ming. Maybe he had his own plan, but now I am afraid he will get out of hand."
“What should we do?”
“I will find Zhang Liang now and ask him what he wants to do.”
Guo Jia has been lurking for ten years. Now that the mission is about to be completed, something like this has happened. He can accept that he lost to Fan Zeng, but he cannot accept that ten years of lurking has yielded no results, and Zhang Liang has become the final guarantee in his plan. .
If Guo Jia knew that Zhang Liang, the last guarantor in his heart, was actually the initiator of destroying his plan, he didn't know how he would feel.
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang visited generals such as Yu Ziqi, Ji Bu, Zhongli Mei, and Long Qie one by one.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was not prepared to contact Long Qie. After all, Long Qie's sister married Qin Hao, and the marriage between Qin and Ming would be more beneficial to him.
It can be considered that Long Qie is the great general of the Ming Dynasty and holds extremely important military power. With his help, this mutiny is almost certain.
In addition, Long Qie has always been a neutral faction in the marriage between Qin and Ming Dynasties, and is a grassroots who neither agrees nor opposes.
Finally, Long Qie and Xiang Yu are as close as brothers.
It is precisely because of these three points that Zhu Yuanzhang was ready to test Long Qie and first tell him the truth about Xiang Yu's death.
If Long Qie's reaction was very violent, Zhu Yuanzhang would drag him into the ranks of the coup. If his reaction was mediocre, he would naturally become an enemy.
“General Long Qie, General Xiang Yu is actually…”
Zhu Yuanzhang told the story of Emperor Ming's assassination of Xiang Yu with a sad look on his face. After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Long Qie couldn't help but lower his head and showed a wonderful expression.
Xiang Yu is dead? So was what I saw two years ago a ghost?
In addition, Emperor Ming killed Xiang Yu? This guy is so good at making things up!
What Zhu Yuanzhang said is reasonable and well-founded. If Long Qie had not met Xiang Yu, he might have believed it, but now he does not believe a word of it.
However, Long Qie probably never imagined that what Zhu Yuanzhang said was actually true. It was indeed because Emperor Ming gave up on Xiang Yu that Xiang Yu fell into a crisis of being surrounded by princes. However, Xiang Yu only saved his life after being rescued by Qin Hao.
Qin Hao probably never expected that his inadvertent move would become the biggest flaw in Zhu Yuanzhang's coup. It was really a cycle of cause and effect.
Although Long Qie didn't believe what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he also knew the power of these words. He didn't believe it because he had met Xiang Yu. He didn't know if other brothers would be deceived by it.
With this thought, Long Qie couldn't help but plan to tell others that Xiang Yu was actually still alive, but when he thought of the prime minister's previous instructions to him, he extinguished this idea.
“Prime Minister, Prime Minister, what do you want to do? If this continues, the situation will really get out of control.” Long Qie thought to himself.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what Long Qie was thinking. Seeing that he kept lowering his head and shaking all over, he thought he couldn't bear the blow, so he secretly patted Long Qie on the shoulder and comforted him: "General Long Qie, I Knowing that you and Xiang Yu are brothers and loyal to His Majesty, it is hard to accept that Your Majesty killed General Xiang Yu, but this is the fact."
Long Qie knew that the heat was almost over, so he immediately raised his head and cursed angrily: "Zhang Sheng is simply acting arrogantly. Brother Xiang is loyal to her, but she secretly harms him. What's the law of heaven?"
Looking at the furious Long Qie, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be overjoyed and thought to himself: A great thing has been accomplished.

Bingzhou, Jinyang, Prince Qin’s Mansion
“Lord, there is a woman who claimed to be an old acquaintance of the lord. She asked to see the lord, but she broke into the palace without waiting for notification. She is currently captured by Commander Arthur.” Jiang Juanhui reported.
Qin Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does the person who comes here have a common name?"
“The woman only said her surname was Zhang.”
Qin Hao showed a look of surprise and said: "She is indeed an old acquaintance of my king. Go and bring her over."
)
After a while, the guards came over behind a graceful but unfamiliar-looking woman.
After Qin Hao ordered the guards to leave, the woman took off her mask and revealed a familiar face, which was none other than Emperor Ming's sister, Zhang Ning.
“Brother Hao.”
Zhang Ning threw herself into Qin Hao's arms and cried: "Go to Taihang quickly. My sister is really angry this time. No matter how hard I try to persuade her, she won't listen. If you don't go, my sister will really do it." Married to Zhu Yuanzhang."
Qin Hao patted Zhang Ning's jade back and said with a wry smile: "Do you think I don't want to go?"
Zhang Ning raised his head and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Brother Hao, what are your difficulties?"
Qin Hao pointed around and sighed: "Since I am the one in power, I must abide by the rules under power. This palace is my prison, which prevents me from following my heart in everything."
Zhang Ning understood the meaning of Qin Hao's words and said angrily: "Excuses, they are all excuses. The entire Qin Army belongs to you. If you really want to go? Who can restrain you? I think you are I made so many excuses because I didn’t want to go.”
Qin Hao couldn't help but be startled. After being silent for a long time, he said seriously: "Ning'er, you are right, but I still can't go."
"you…"
Zhang Ning glared at Qin Hao and cursed: "It seems that what Zhu Yuanzhang said is true. You have been using our sisters, but now you are ready to kick us out before you have finished using them. You heartless man, I hate you." ”
After saying that, Zhang Ning ran out crying. Qin Hao did not stop her, but looked at her back and whispered to himself: "I'm sorry Ning'er, I lied to you."
At the same time, a factory guard spy outside the palace saw Zhang Ning running out of the palace with tears in his eyes. He immediately sent a letter to Zhu Yuanzhang to report the information here.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed after reading it and said, "Qin Hao won't come. God is helping me. Now the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Ming belong to me, Zhu Yuanzhang."
Zhu Yunwen frowned. He always felt that Qin Hao could not be indifferent, so he said: "My lord, could it be that Qin Hao is deliberately confusing us? After all, Jizhou has a hundred thousand Ming troops. With Qin Hao's greed, he should not Maybe give up?”
“Don’t worry, I have already made preparations. If Qin Hao doesn’t come, that’s fine. If he does, he will definitely die.” Zhu Yuanzhang said with a sinister look on his face.
The third update is coming, and the monthly ticket has exceeded 800. Some people may feel frustrated by this plot, but Liuxiang wants to wait until it is finished before making a conclusion. The depression in the past is all to pave the way for the fun later, but Liuxiang’s update speed is slow. , giving people a feeling of unfinished content, which makes them feel even more unhappy. Liu Xiang is also deeply sorry for this and will try to add more on weekends.
