Daming: From the end of Hongwu

232 Chapter 230 - King Yan takes the lead, the kings make a fuss

Daning, Prince Ning's Mansion.

Since Zhu Quan entered Daning, Daning was no longer the turbulent state it was in the past. The Mongolian tribes either fled to the north, or surrendered to Ming Dynasty, and built a line of defense belonging to the Mongols. And these surrendered Mongolian tribes, Although he was defeated in the battle with the Daming Frontier Army, but after receiving some support from Daming, his combat power quickly climbed to the first level again, especially the elite cavalry of the three guards of Duoyan.

In addition, outside of Daning, there is Liao King Zhu Zhi in the east and Yan King Zhu Di in the west. Zhu Quan's life is not too beautiful.

In addition to the need to frequently mobilize soldiers to cooperate with Zhu Di, to go to the northern grasslands to sweep up crimes every day, and to fight against those stubborn Mongolian tribes, Zhu Quan's life in Daning can be said to be doing whatever he wants.

In his opinion, as long as he guards the border and keeps an eye on the Mongols, he will be able to spend his life in his fief in peace, and guarding against the Mongols, not to mention that he is a child of the royal family. Responsibility is to compare the days in the palace before, this work is not worth mentioning.

Entering Da Ning is no less than a fish jumping into the sea.

But when the news of Zhu Yuanzhang's death came, this young prince, who used to be smiling and had a wide range of hobbies, lost his smile and playfulness for a while.

Even after several days in a row, the atmosphere in the entire Prince Ning's Mansion became gloomy.

However, when he received the news that Zhu Di led his troops to Yingtian Mansion, Zhu Quan's laughter finally came from Ning Wang's Mansion, which was full of joy and praise.

"Fourth brother is so brave!"

These words startled the servant who had been by Zhu Quan's side all the time, and he secretly took a look at Zhu Quan's expression.

Unexpectedly, after Zhu Quan laughed, his whole face became gloomy again, and his eyes flickered with flickering light, as if he was thinking about something.

Zhu Quan is 21 years old this year, the same age as Zhu Yunxuan. It is not that he has never envied Zhu Yunxuan's status and treatment in the past, but he knows that his biological mother is light, and he is young among the brothers, so envy is envy, but he has never dreamed of it However, ascended to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Lord.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was his father. After his father died, it was fine if he couldn't go to the funeral. At most, he was depressed and unwilling, but Zhu Yuanzhang was buried in a hurry.

Is Zhu Yunqi so impatient to become emperor?His father was so tolerant and loving to him before he was alive, wouldn't he feel guilty and heartbroken for doing this?
What a fucking grandson.

Zhu Quan felt that if he hadn't been somewhat sensible and knew that he was worthless, he would definitely have to take his soldiers and horses to Yingtian Mansion for a while, so that he could ask his elder nephew whether benevolence, righteousness and kindness were all in the past. Is it faked?His father gave him the whole world, so wouldn't he be willing to make a fuss about his father's funeral?

His father is Emperor Hongwu.

Drive out the Tartars, restore China, and establish the Ming Dynasty.

Even if an old man from an ordinary family passed away, future generations would still want to send the old man away in a grand burial, let alone a royal emperor.

The more Zhu Quan thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally his gaze was fixed, and he said in a deep voice to the servant beside him: "Go and tell me, and make a big fuss, and say that the dog thief Qi Tai tampered with the will and ignored it under the guise of false edicts." Human relations, prevent my brothers from going to Beijing for the funeral."

The valet was shocked.

"Your Highness, can you think twice, this is not a trivial matter."

Zhu Quan glanced at his servant, shook his head lightly and firmly said: "You don't understand, as a son of man, I can only help my father complain about inappropriateness, injustice and... not worth it! Let alone..."

Zhu Quan paused, and said in a deep voice again: "Between brothers, no matter who goes to Yingtian Mansion to ask for an explanation, I, Zhu Quan, should always help out, let alone our beloved fourth brother."

……

For a while, the entire Ming Dynasty became lively. The kings that Zhu Yuanzhang entrusted, Zhou King of Kaifeng, King Qi of Qingzhou, King Lu of Yanzhou, King Liao of Liaodong, King Qing of Ningxia, King Su of Ganzhou... all started It got noisy.

Zhu Di took the lead, and the kings booed.

Everyone is scolding the old thief Qitai, tampering with the edict, and alienating flesh and blood. Some of them are really sad because they can't go to the funeral, some are not too big to watch the fun, and most of them are because the edict has also damaged their interests. , so that their fiefs, soldiers and civilians obeyed the restraint of the imperial court, and lost a lot of privileges.

The eyes of the world immediately focused on the court, but the eyes of the court were on Qi Tai who had already rushed to Huai'an.

Qi Tai rushed all the way, and finally stopped Zhu Di in Huai'an City.

Zhu Di was wearing white hemp mourning clothes, and a white silk around his waist fluttered in the wind. He looked at Qi Tai who was blocking the way with a gloomy face, and scolded angrily, "Qi Tai, how dare you block my king's way?!"

"It's not that I want to block the way of King Yan."

Qi Tai had no fear on his face, and calmly took out the edict from his bosom: "It was the late emperor who was blocking the way of King Yan, but I want to ask King Yan on behalf of the late emperor, why did he appear in Huai'an if he didn't stay in his own fief."

Zhu Di was immediately overwhelmed with anger, and said angrily: "You thief, how dare you use my father's name to bully me, thinking that my king's sword is not good?"

But Qi Tai still had a calm expression on his face, as if he was wearing a will, like a gold-plated body, he raised his head and laughed loudly: "The king of Yan's sword is sharp, everyone knows it, how can I, Qi Tai, not know, how can the emperor not know , Now that King Yan came here with a knife, even if he kills me Qi Tai, I, Qi Tai, will also ask, why does King Yan want to rebel?"

"Can the king of Yan give me an explanation for Qi Tai, the emperor, and the people of the world? King Yan, don't think that there are no loyal people in the world, let alone think that the swords of loyal people in the world are not good." Qi Tailang raised his head and said, like Extremely stubborn scholar who wants to be worthy of the world even if he dies, and also demands the name of loyalty.

This made Zhen Wu a little surprised. There is something about this guy. I heard that he is still the core team member of Zhu Yunqi. It's probably not a problem to fool Zhu Yunqi with this lip service.

Zhu Di just asked if the knife is sharp?Qi Tai not only replied that it was very beneficial, but also added a sentence that the sword of a loyal person in the world is more profitable, directly explaining that if Zhu Di dared to ignore the edict and act recklessly, he would be designated as a traitor. No matter how profitable it is, it left Zhu Di speechless.

Zhu Gaoxu's petulant temper became so bad, he cursed and said: "You son of a bitch, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, hurry up and get rid of me, or I will directly bring someone to kill you. "

Qi Tai cast a disdainful glance at Zhu Gaoxu, and directly blew Zhu Gaoxu up. Zhu Gaoxu's face turned ruthless, and when he was about to rush over, he was held tightly by Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi shook his head at Zhu Gaoxu, his eyes signaled Zhu Gaoxu to obey Zhu Di.

Zhu Gaoxu suppressed his anger angrily, and said to Zhu Di violently: "Father, what are you talking to him about, dare to block the way and kill him directly."

Zhu Di ignored Zhu Gaoxu, but felt that what Zhu Gaoxu said was very reasonable. He looked at Qi Tai with stern eyes, and said gloomyly: "My king will ask you again, will you give way?"

Qi Tai shook his head and said: "I also advise King Yan not to make mistakes."

Self mistake?

I missed your mother.

Zhu Di has often been in the military camp in recent years, and even led troops to attack one after another. Whenever he was free to play this trick, he immediately drew his waist knife with a groan.

Zhen Wu and the others kept looking at Zhu Di, and the moment Zhu Di pulled out the waist knife, everyone gathered their minds, and the waist knife was all unsheathed in response, and then looked fiercely at Qi Tai, ready to go.

The frontier army is good at fighting, which is really fought on the battlefield. I dare not say that everyone killed dozens or hundreds of people, but at least everyone has a life in their hands.

When they were ready to go, it was like a huge wave suddenly rolled up on the calm sea, and the whole momentum was frantic, pressing towards Qi Tai with a fearless and fearless momentum.

The horse under Qi Tai screamed in fright, and couldn't help but retreated in a panic. Even Qi Tai was a little embarrassed, but Qi Tai soon stabilized the horse.

But stay steady and stay steady, Qi Tai can still feel the monstrous killing intent coming from the opposite side directly, and smell it carefully, maybe it's an illusion, Qi Tai can also feel the bloody aura.

He seemed to be able to see that the next moment, he would be trampled into flesh by the thousands of troops.

Qi Tai quickly recited in his heart, "The Master said: Those who know do not confuse, those who are benevolent do not worry, and those who are brave do not fear..." But as he recited silently, Qi Tai seemed that Confucius was not enough, so he quickly unfolded the edict to Zhu Di.

"King Yan, even if you kill me, do you think you can reach Nanjing City?"

Zhu Di sneered: "If you don't get there, I'll kill you."

As soon as his words fell, he was about to order an attack, but at this critical moment, Dao Yan, who followed Zhu Di on his horse for the first time, stopped Zhu Di.

Dao Yan shook his head at Zhu Di: "Your Highness, be calm and don't be impulsive."

Zhu Di, who was angry, couldn't calm down.

Dao Yan shouted beside him in a low voice: "Your Highness, do you really want to be desperate? Do you want to bear the name of the traitor? Even if Your Highness is not afraid, has Your Highness ever thought that if a mistake is made, hundreds of people in the Yan Palace will be killed?" What will happen to the tens of thousands of guards? What will happen to the princess, what will happen to the prince and grandson? The princess is still pregnant with a child, so does your highness still want to see her die twice?"

This series of urgent and heavy words directly smashed Zhu Di's anger down. Zhu Di quickly calmed down when he thought of Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Yuying, and so many people in the Yan Palace. , he turned his head to look at the sergeants beside him, followed the faces one by one, and finally stopped his eyes on Zhen Wu's face.

At this moment, there was no fear on Zhen Wu's face, as if Zhu Di had ordered him to go through fire and water without hesitation.

But Zhu Di didn't know that Zhen Wu was dying of anxiety. He didn't know if there was any record of this matter in history, but he had been in the army for so many years, and he knew that if he really wanted to attack Ying Tianfu at this moment, he could only die.

8000 people went deep into the enemy's territory without supplies. If they couldn't attack the palace immediately and killed Zhu Yunqi, then what awaited them would be death. The question is, how did such a small number of people break into the palace?There are so many people in the Beijing camp who don't eat dry food.

Even if they attacked in, this little guy couldn't stabilize the situation.

But in this situation, Zhen Wu can't stop Zhu Di. He is not a counselor by Zhu Di's side, and he is not discussing the military situation at the moment. Like fear of death.

After all, as long as they have been on the battlefield and have more than a thousand positions, no one can tell that those people are not all like Zhen Wu, pulling out their knives and waiting for Zhu Di's order.

These people are probably waiting for Monk Daoyan to make a move.

The guards all knew that this old monk didn't go out with Zhu Di before, but this time he came here at a high speed, and if it didn't work, no one would believe it.

It's just that the old monk's mentality is really good, and when he can't make a move in the nick of time, Zhen Wu almost plans to go all out and fight Jingying with his life.

After Zhu Di calmed down, he looked at Zhen Wu's expression and felt very relieved, thinking that the whole family had no two hearts, even if he planned to take everyone to die, this son-in-law did not have any intention of retreating, and he did not marry his daughter in vain. he.

It's just that I have to criticize and criticize in retrospect. My daughter-in-law is pregnant, so I'm not a little more prudent, so I should think about it for my daughter-in-law.

At this time, Dao Yan was still persuading Zhu Di: "Your Highness, now that the new emperor is on the throne, under righteousness, everyone in the world is looking at us. We have no name and no reason. When someone blocks the way and clearly expresses the intention of the new emperor , the timing is not favorable for us to wait, it is better to go back to Peiping."

"But I came here to seek an explanation for my father, how can I go back in despair." Zhu Di's voice suddenly rose, with a look of grief and indignation.

Monk Daoyan glanced at Zhu Gaochi and stepped back. The next step is not his business. He knows that Zhu Di has calmed down now, so Zhu Di is enough to make a clear judgment.

Zhu Gaochi approached knowingly and persuaded: "Father, my son also wants to ask for an explanation for the emperor's grandfather, but now the new emperor does not allow us to go there, so what can we do? We can't ignore the new emperor's order. You see, how about we Go back to Beiping first, discuss with your uncles, and then ask the new emperor for an explanation."

Zhu Di's face became more and more sad and angry.

Zhen Wu on the side also understood a little bit. He had been with Zhu Di for so many years, and he knew Zhu Di's temperament and style to some extent. At this moment, in Zhen Wu's eyes, Zhu Di obviously wanted to retire.

Now that Zhu Di looks like this, he should start acting.

as predicted.

Seeing Zhu Di's grief and anger, he burst into tears suddenly, as if he was heartbroken, and after several convulsions, he shouted to God: "Father, my son is incompetent, and I can't go to ask for an explanation for you. Don't blame your son, blame the king's fate."

Zhu Di was weeping, then turned his head to look at Qi Tai, and said in grief and indignation: "Qi Tai thief, you have been unfaithful and amended my father's imperial edict, and divorced my family, but I, Zhu Di, am not that unfaithful and unrighteous person. My nephew has become the emperor, since he doesn't want me to go to the capital, I will go back to Peiping, but you Qitai, I Zhu Di will not let you go."

After all, Zhu Di was still not reconciled, and cried a few more times, with tears streaming down his face, "Go back and ask my eldest nephew for me, and ask him why he listened to the words of the villain and buried my father in a hurry. I waited for my brother to think of the turmoil at the beginning of his succession, and I would like to stick to the fief and stabilize the court for him, but why didn't he want to stay with my father for a few more months, so that when the court is stabilized, let us sons You can go to Beijing to see my father for the last time."

"If we are separated forever, I can't even see my father and the old man for the last time. I am a son in vain, and I am even more ashamed of the kindness I have given him for many years. How can I live in this world?"

Zhu Di's sad voice and superb acting skills not only deeply moved the guards, but even some of the sergeants brought by Qi Tai were also a little moved.

Everyone understood that as a son of man, it would be a great pity in life if he could not see his father for the last time.

Seeing this, Zhen Wu and other senior generals shouted angrily: "Your Highness, I can't wait to go back. I will help His Highness rush over and ask what the new emperor wants, why he doesn't let His Highness see the late Emperor for the last time, how can there be such a thing in this world?" reason."

One by one was emotional, as if they had been insulted.

Among them, Zhen Wu, in addition to speaking his lines, also drove the horse so that the horse's head was raised high. This performance suddenly stood out and surpassed others.

After Zhu Di saw it, he reprimanded Zhen Wu directly: "Nonsense, do you want to make me disloyal? Since my eldest nephew doesn't want me to go there, then I will go back to Peiping. If you dare to make trouble again, I will definitely punish you."

Zhen Wu lowered his head obediently, making weak promises repeatedly.

Watching this scene, Guan Tong and other guard commanders, as well as Tan Yuan and other thousands of households were shocked at first, then gasped, and couldn't help but began to curse Zhen Wu in their hearts.

What a fucking thief, everyone is blustering their lines, what the hell do you mean by adding actions.

It looks like we're all dumb.

……

With the noise of the crowd, everyone finally turned around and headed towards Peiping under the leadership of Zhu Di.

On the way, Zhen Wu took the time to look back in the direction of Ying Tianfu.

It's time to cut down the feudal clan.

It's just that they don't know if their harsh words on this trip have also stimulated Zhu Yunqi's determination to cut down the feudal clan.
