And the king of Han and the king of Zhao are plotting to make this matter a big deal, and they must all be blamed on the crown prince.
Even if the prince cannot be abolished, at least he can cut off the prince's left and right arms.
Without Yang Shiqi, the prince will suffer an unprecedented blow.
Zhu Di had no idea that his two sons had carefully prepared a good show for him.
When they returned to Nanjing, it was already a month later.
As the masters of the king who returned from a great victory, everyone took it for granted that there would be a special grand welcome ceremony waiting for them in Nanjing.
However, when they stopped under the Nanjing city wall, the gate of Nanjing city was closed. Not only was there no guard of honor, but even the city wall was full of guards.
The strength of the troops was several times that of the previous ones. This posture was not like welcoming them, but more like shooting them under the tower.
When Zhu Di saw this posture, he immediately became furious.
There is no reason for this, he sent someone to send a message to the prince three days ago, telling him that the army returned to Nanjing today.
Not only did the crown prince not come out to meet him, but instead filled the city of Nanjing with troops. Why, is he trying to rebel?
When the army saw this battle, they thought that the prince had rebelled and had taken control of Nanjing, so he wanted to attack them.
So without waiting for the emperor's order, he rose up on his own guard.
When Zhu Di saw this, he was even more furious. Even the soldiers below were aware of the prince's intentions, so how could he not be aware of it.
"Second brother, go ask the crown prince if you want to shoot his father under the city of Nanjing?"
Zhu Di's face was drawn so long that his face turned black, which showed how angry he was.
The king of Han immediately rode out and yelled at the soldiers on the wall.
"Blind your dog eyes, the emperor is here, and you still haven't come out to greet him."
Watching the battle, the guards on the city wall knew that the emperor had returned, and they were a little dumbfounded for a while.
Didn't it mean that the emperor will arrive in two days?
Why did you come back today?
The person in charge of guarding the city immediately sent someone to inform the prince, and then he went downstairs with the guarding soldiers to greet the emperor in person.
Zhu Di came up to them on horseback, squinted his eyes, and asked coldly: "Who are you doing today to guard against? Who is it under the command?"
The person in charge already knew that something was wrong, and they should have followed someone else's path.
But the matter has come to this point, he did not dare to refute too much, he could only explain.
"Returning to Your Majesty, I received an order saying that someone outside Nanjing City was infected with the plague. They were afraid that the plague would spread into the city, so they blocked the city gates and insisted on stopping Your Majesty."
"Even if you give me a hundred courage, I will not dare to stop His Majesty."
How many people are there in Nanjing City, can they stop a 50 army?
But it is impossible for any normal person to do such a stupid thing.
"Oh, what a coincidence, when I came back today, you received an order to seal the city gate today, what a coincidence."
Zhu Di obviously didn't believe it, and spoke in a strange way.
The person in charge knew that there were too many mistakes in what he said now, so he didn't dare to forcefully defend himself, so he kowtowed to plead guilty.
"The minister deserves to die."
Just when Zhu Di was so angry that he was going to pull all these people out and cut them down, the crown prince hurried over with all the officials.
He didn't even ride in a carriage, but rode a horse. I was afraid that the old man would be even more angry if he was late.
With the prince's physique, it is not easy to ride a horse. He is not in good health and is fat. He needs two people to support him when he goes out on weekdays.
At this moment, he actually came riding a horse, which shows how anxious he is.
But this is not enough to calm Zhu Di.
"The crown prince is here. It's a big deal. I and the 50 army have been waiting for a long time."
The tone is very heavy, which proves that he is very angry at the moment.
The prince didn't dare to delay, and knelt down first.
"Your Majesty, I have received news that the Emperor will arrive in two days, so I just discussed with the officials how to welcome the Emperor."
The prince is telling the truth.
If it was normal, Zhu Di would believe it, but this time he couldn't help but have some doubts.
After he left for a few months, the whole country was in the hands of the crown prince. Didn't he have any other ideas?
Especially after knowing about Yang Shiqi, his trust in the prince is obviously not as good as before.
Who knows if he colluded with Yang Shiqi to cover Jianwen together.
"Hmph, discussing to welcome me? Then what did you discuss? You discussed closing the city gate, doubling the troops, and keeping me out of the city."
The crown prince was really wronged. He received the news that the army would take two days to arrive in Nanjing.
You came back suddenly, aren't you unprepared?
The crown prince couldn't figure it out, it wasn't a big deal if he wasn't well prepared for the job, why did his father keep alluding to him for rebellion?
"father……"
"Don't call me daddy, call me emperor."
"I fought so hard outside to lay the foundation for your future country, but you can't even do the basic reception work well. What's the use of having you as a prince?"
The prince was scolded bloody, and he was really confused.
Isn't it just a little late to welcome, as for being so angry?
But for Zhu Di, this is not a question of greeting, but a question of his contempt for himself.
Before, I conspired with Yang Shiqi to deceive me, and later, Zeng Bing deliberately blocked me from the city.
Isn't this enough to explain his true inner thoughts?
