In Nanjing City, screams came one after another in the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei North Town Fushi.

Ma Jixiang, commander of the Jinyiwei, continued to hear Wu Zhaosheng and others.

"Wu Duzhen, what do you think you are trying to do? If you don't do it in a good town, you have to rebel. Tell me, is the position of the crown prince, or the King of Lu, and it is all about the Tian family's business, what does it have to do with you? Now, you have offended Your Majesty and He Ge's tribe. The court wants to kill you. Are you asking for your own sake?" Jixiang looked at Wu Zhaosheng, who was covered with blood on the white prison clothes, and sighed, "Oh! Wu Duzhen, you are also a general. You have made contributions to the court. I will not be difficult for you. If you admit your crime, you will get another 200,000 taels of silver. I will think of a way to see if you can save your life."

Ma Jixiang advised him kindly, wanting to make some money.

Wu Zhaosheng glanced at him, but lowered his head and said, "The Ming Dynasty has fallen into your hands. God has no eyes. Kill me! The court lost a great general, and the Tartars will come again the other day. Let's see who else in the world serves the court! This general is waiting for you on the road to the underworld, and see you regret it..."

Ma Jixiang was furious when he heard this, "You are the commander in the town, and you can't even get 200,000 taels? If you don't pay it today, I will let you taste the methods of the Jinyiwei!"

After saying that, Ma Jixiang picked up the red soldering iron, but at this moment, a Jinyiwei family hurried in and whispered a few words to him. Ma Jixiang's face immediately changed.

For a moment, the soldering iron in his hand was stalemate in the air. After a while, Ma Jixiang suddenly threw the soldering iron into the basin, changed into a smiley face, and walked to Wu Zhaosheng.

Ma Jixiang wanted to say something, but seeing Wu Zhaosheng covered in blood, he couldn't find any words for a while.

After a moment of helplessness, he spoke, "Come here, please untie Wu Duzhen quickly, look at you who beat the person!"

When the Jinyiwei around him heard the words, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"What are you doing when you stand?" Ma Jixiang scolded loudly. The Jinyiwei realized that he was speaking truthfully, so he hurried forward to take down Wu Zhaosheng, who was hanging on the iron hook.

"Don't blame Wu Du Town, brothers are also following orders!" Ma Jixiang said.

Nanjing, in the clan mansion.

As the former crown prince, Zhu Yihai was treated much stronger by generals such as Wu Zhaosheng. He did not suffer torture, but was only under house arrest in the clan's mansion.

At this time, the dark door was opened, and a ray of sunlight shone in, shining on Zhu Yihai.

An official stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness, you are free."

Zhu Yihai stood up and reached out to block the sunlight. He slowly opened his eyes and walked out slowly. He stood in the yard, speechless for a long time.

Zhu Yihai felt the warm sunshine and smiled.

Outside Nanjing City, the eastern suburbs.

Ten miles from the city, flags were waving and tens of thousands of troops were arranged in an array.

Zhao Ming rode a tall horse and led many generals and staff to stand in front of the army.

"Your Highness, here you come!" Gu Yanwu pointed at a group of people in the distance and said loudly.

Zhao Mingxun looked over and saw a group of people coming from Nanjing under the escort of hundreds of soldiers.

Zhao Ming looked closely and found that it was Zhu Yihai and others, so he quickly whipped the horse whip and galloped forward to greet him.

Not far from Zhu Yihai and others, Zhao Ming turned over and dismounted, strode forward, shouting loudly while running, "Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Zhao Ming ran to the front and couldn't help but stop. He looked at Zhu Yihai and his party. Seeing that Zhu Yihai was thin and many generals behind him were injured, he couldn't help but say painfully: "Your Highness, I'm late! Let Your Highness and you all suffer!"

Zhu Yihai looked up and saw Zhao Ming, and saw the tens of thousands of troops greeting outside the city. He couldn't help but burst into tears. Wu Zhaosheng and others were also crying.

Zhu Yihai went forward to help Zhao Ming up and said emotionally: "If it weren't for Bo'an, I would have been harmed by all the generals!"

Zhao Ming said ashamed: "Your Highness, this is what my minister should do. It's a pity that the Tartars went south and did their best to eliminate the traitor and failed to restore His Highness's status!"

Zhu Yihai waved his hand, "I can escape, and it will be determined to regain everything I have lost!"

Zhao Ming ordered people to bring the war horses and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, let's go back to the camp first!"

Zhu Yihai nodded slightly, Zhao Ming helped him get on the horse, Wu Zhaosheng and others also turned over and rode on the war horse. Zhao Ming then waved his hand, and the soldiers led the horse and headed towards the camp.

Zhu Yihai looked back at Nanjing, and his heart was filled with grief and anger. When the Qing army advanced south, he and Zhu Youjian raised an army to fight against the Qing Dynasty almost at the same time.

Just because he was slowing down for a few days, Zhu Youjian became emperor, while he could only be the governor.

Since then, Zhu Youjian was a puppet of Zheng Zhilong and made no achievements in the anti-Qing Dynasty. The overall situation of the anti-Qing Dynasty was almost carried on by Zhu Yihai.

Zhu Yihai believed that the Ming Dynasty was able to save half of the country, and he thought that his contribution was greater than that of Zhu Youjian.

Under great contributions, Zhu Yihai asked Zhu Youjian to be the emperor and waited for Zhu Youjian to die before he ascends the throne.

This can be said that Zhu Yihai had already made concessions, but Zhu Youjian was not grateful. He was not counting as an emperor himself, but he also had to pass the throne to the eldest son. He never thought of passing it to Zhu Yihai as agreed.

This is really because of the fact that the good man is bullied and the good man is ridden by others, which makes Zhu Yihai extremely angry.

This time, if it weren't for Zhao Ming, he would not only not have what he deserved, but would also have been killed by Zhu Youjian.

Now, he has escaped from Nanjing, but has been deposed as the crown prince. Zhu Yihai's heart is quite unbalanced.

Zhu Yihai rode on the horse and looked back at Nanjing, swearing in his heart, "All this belongs to the Gu King, and Gu will definitely take back everything he has lost."

Wu Zhaosheng also looked back at Nanjing, gritted his teeth, and looked resentful, "I have to take off today, and I will definitely return it a hundred times in the future!"

Zhu Yihai was completely unprepared for this internal conflict. He did not expect that the court would have no bottom line, so he almost lost everything.

However, now that he has escaped from Nanjing, Zhu Yihai is like a dragon entering the sea. He has resentment in his heart and will come back sooner or later to find Zhu Youjian and He Tengjiao to settle the matter.

Zhao Ming rode a horse with Zhu Yihai, secretly observing Zhu Yihai's face, knowing that Zhu Yihai would not give up, and this was exactly what Zhao Ming wanted to see.

...

The Longwu court released Zhu Yihai as agreed.

Zhu Youjian ordered the Three Laws to retrial quickly and quickly overturned the previous charges, and found that Zhu Yihai did not respect the imperial court's orders and dispatched troops without authorization, but had no intention of rebellion.

As long as there is uncertainty in treason, the crime will be much lighter.

After the retrial of the Three Laws, the previous verdict was overturned, and Zhu Yihai was found guilty but not dead. He changed his sentence to abolish the crown prince, demoted him to King of Lu, and expelled him from Nanjing to become a vassal.

What crime is convicted depends entirely on the emperor's will, the laws and judicial trials of the Ming Dynasty, and under the interference of imperial power, it became a joke.
