Chapter 1204 No One Disobeys

"I don't think the Second Prince can accomplish anything. None of the Qingliu and Shen party support him. It's difficult to accomplish anything alone." said the military advisor beside Ji Wudao.

Ji Wudao had been hanging around in the capital before going to Shanxi. He knew how capable Zhu Hui was. When Zhu Hui was the crown prince, he was a good-for-nothing and had an ambiguous relationship with Cui Mubai.

Thinking of Cui Mubai, Ji Wudao suddenly waved his hand to call a subordinate and whispered something to him.

The subordinate's eyes lit up and he said, "I'll arrange for someone to pass on the message right away."

After this person left, the people under Ji Wudao started discussing again. They all did not think highly of Zhu Xun, and some even said that it would be better to lead the troops directly to attack the capital and seize the throne directly.

Ji Wudao raised his hand, and the room suddenly fell silent: "Let's act according to the original plan. If I take the throne directly, it will be unjustifiable. No one in the court will support Zhu Yu, but there are also advantages to not supporting him. It will be more convenient for us to act in the future." After Zhu Yu ascends the throne, force him to write a letter of abdication, at least on the surface, this will be able to shut up the world's gossips.

Although his soldiers had objections, they all obeyed Ji Wudao's orders and said in unison: "Follow the general's instructions."

"Take my tiger talisman to Huaishuling and tell them to march at night." Ji Wudao ordered the deputy general.

The deputy general took the tiger talisman, took a few subordinates, went to the backyard of the inn, and rode away on horseback.

"General, the second prince is here." The soldier guarding the gate came in and whispered.

"Please come in." Ji Wudao glanced at everyone in the room, and everyone in the room restrained their expressions and bowed respectfully when Zhu Yu came in.

Zhu Yu was very pleased and hurried to support Ji Wudao, showing his respect for the wise and virtuous.

Ji Wudao gave the main seat to Zhu Yu and ordered people to prepare wine and food. Zhu Yu was very satisfied to see that he respected him in every way and sat down humbly.

"Is the general in good health?" Zhu Yu asked with concern.

Ji Wudao smiled helplessly and said, "Ji will not lie in front of the Second Prince. Yu Qizhe was very aggressive and I was afraid something might happen if I entered Zhaoyu, so I pretended to faint."

Zhu Yu said: "As long as the general is safe, I can rest assured."

After the commotion at the Dali Temple, Zhu Yu felt uneasy, so he came to the inn in person. He continued, "General Ji, I have forced them to attend court tomorrow. We can act according to the plan tomorrow."

Ji Wudao nodded: "Success or failure depends on tomorrow. I have asked the deputy general to go to Huaishuling to mobilize troops. Second Prince, don't worry. Nothing will go wrong tomorrow. It would be best if we can win without bloodshed. But I think Yu Qizhe is very difficult to deal with. He is a guy who will not be easily persuaded."

Zhu Yu had been dissatisfied with Yu Qizhe for a long time, and was full of resentment. He gritted his teeth and said, "He is just a scholar from a poor family. He has won the favor of my father and has become so arrogant that he doesn't take me seriously. I will wait for him to succeed one day, and then I will settle accounts with him. By then, I want to see how hard his bones are and whether they can be ground into powder!"

Seeing how much Zhu Yu hated Yu Qizhe, Ji Wudao smiled and said, "As long as the plan is successful, he will be nothing more than a grasshopper in autumn, and will not be able to run rampant for long. What I am worried about is the group of ministers in the cabinet. The fact that Zhang Zhongcheng and Wei Tingzhi can come here today is enough to show the attitudes of Shen Ge Lao and Liu Ci Fu. I am worried that with these two people making trouble tomorrow, the ministers in the court will also follow suit..."

Zhu Xun pinched the cups on the table and said ruthlessly: "If they don't respect me as the emperor, then kill them. If killing one is not enough, kill five. If killing five is not enough, kill ten or twenty. I will eventually scare them. As long as they still want to keep their lives and official positions, they will kneel down and submit to me. Shen Tian and Liu Yu will be the chickens to scare the monkeys."

"The Second Prince is absolutely right." Ji Wudao picked up the wine pot, filled Zhu Yu's cup, raised his glass and said, "I wish the Second Prince all he wishes for in advance."

Zhu Yu smiled, picked up the wine cup, raised it to everyone in the room, and drank it all.

After some drinking, Zhu Yu got a little tipsy and smiled more complacently. He thought that the 100,000 troops under Ji Wudao's command would soon arrive in the capital, and he felt that everything was under control. After tomorrow, he would be the master of the world, holding supreme power. No one would dare to disobey him again, and nothing would go wrong.
