Daming: From the end of Hongwu

248 Chapter 246 - Winning the Nine Gates

The atmosphere of King Yan’s Mansion was still a little tense in the morning, but after Zhu Di received Cao Xiaoman’s report, following Zhu Di’s urgent orders, the whole of King Yan’s Mansion became tense instantly, and groups of armored soldiers suddenly appeared , directly took over all the affairs of the entire Yanwang Mansion, and all gates were guarded by elite soldiers within a short period of time, and they were tightly closed.

Seeing this situation, some maids, eunuchs and clerks of Prince Yan's Mansion were so scared that they all became cautious. They only felt that today was more awe-inspiring than when Zhu Di was in command in the past.

The weather turned cloudy at this time, and a large cloud condensed over the entire city of Beiping. The gloomy atmosphere resembled the doomsday atmosphere of black clouds pressing down on the city and trying to destroy the entire city. Before rushing to kill, there was an extremely suffocating quiet atmosphere.

Jing only refers to people, but the snorting of horses and the clattering of nail leaves make the atmosphere even more terrifying.

Cao Xiaoman is someone close to Zhen Wu, Zhu Di naturally would not doubt Cao Xiaoman, several messengers have already galloped out of Yanwang Mansion, to inform the generals in the guard army to come to gather, and then Zhu Di notified Yan Wangfu's civil servants Come to a meeting.

And Dao Yan also came to Zhu Di's side early. Accompanied by Zhu Di, the two stood in front of the main hall and looked outside, Dao Yan asked softly: "Your Highness, are you ready?"

Zhu Di took a deep breath, and his body seemed to reappear the excitement when he joined the army for the first time and took command for the first time. People seem to really need stimulation, and Zhu Di may need this kind of conquest.

"Old monk, don't worry about me. The day I decided to go against myself, I was ready for today's scene." After Zhu Di finished speaking, he turned his head to Sanbao and said: "Go to the back and call the prince and the others over. , it is also time for them to exert their strength.”

Sanbao responded and left in a hurry.

Soon, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui all came over.

Zhu Gaochi was as calm as ever, as if today's events did not affect his state of mind, while Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui's faces were heavy, at the same time, some inexplicable colors flashed in their eyes from time to time, like excitement and bloodthirsty, Just like a violent man with a perverted mind under heavy pressure, non-violence cannot relieve the pressure in his heart.

Zhu Di looked back at Zhu Gaochi's third brother, and said in a deep voice: "You..." Just as he opened his mouth, Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaochi who was a little fat, paused, and looked at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui: "Forget it, just the second and the third brother." Three, Sanbao should have told you all, now is the time of life and death for my Yan Palace, and when the generals arrive later, you two will fight together with the generals, understand?"

"Understood, Father." The two responded in unison, and after they finished speaking, they also glanced at Zhu Gaochi in unison. They didn't feel that it was unfair, but at this moment, they couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous in their hearts.

Zhu Gaochi was bitter in his heart, and looked up at Zhu Di, but he didn't expect that after Zhu Di finished speaking, he had turned his back to them again. He wanted to argue a few words, saying that he also learned martial arts since he was a child, and read military books. You can also help Zhu Di fight and fight, but when you think of your own body, you lose your confidence.

A bit of distress rose in his heart, but at this moment he felt a warm gaze. Zhu Gaochi looked over and found that Dao Yan was looking at him with admiration.

Dao Yan's gaze was very gentle, as if he had seen through his thoughts and was comforting him.

Zhu Gaochi was encouraged for a while, and he felt better. He smiled at Dao Yan, thinking that Dao Yan didn't have to go into battle, but he was valued by Zhu Di. He regained his ambition for a while, and vowed to do a good job in internal affairs , not letting Zhu Di worry about it, this is also helping Zhu Di share his worries.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, the footsteps were heavy and heavy, and several people in the hall turned their heads to look, only to see Zhen Wu wearing armor, walking firmly into the hall step by step.

Zhu Di hurriedly beckoned for Zhen Wu to come to his side.

Zhen Wu took two quick steps, and when he reached Zhu Di's side, Zhu Di anxiously asked, "What did the imperial edict say?"

Zhen Wu swept across the faces of several people, and said in a deep voice: "Cutting down the prince and arresting His Highness and all the princes, as well as all the subordinates of the Yan Palace, will be taken to the capital!"

Zhu Di took a deep breath, he had already guessed that the imperial edict would not let him go easily, but he always thought that he was somewhat different from the other deposed kings. In his opinion, he was at least the leader of the kings, and he had guarded Beiping for Daming for many years , how much it can make Zhu Yunqi jealous, I didn't expect Zhu Yunqi to be so merciless when he attacked him.

He was a little lost, but he became stronger the next moment.

That being the case, nephews and uncles should rely on their own abilities.

Zhu Di strode towards his seat, then sat down: "We'll talk about it when all the civil and military officials arrive."

Zhen Wu responded, walked to Zhu Gaochi and the others, and waited silently.

Soon.

Officials and generals came to the main hall one by one, found their own seats and stood silently. Soon, everyone arrived. Among these people, some of them had already passed the wind and knew that Zhu Di was going to rebel, and some of them didn't know but had roughly guessed. , and still confused.

After Zhu Di glanced at everyone's faces, his eyes fell on Zhen Wu, and he said, "Zhen Wu, let me tell you what happened first."

Zhen Wu should be, and then stood up, but just as he was about to speak, a soldier suddenly ran outside.

The soldiers looked anxious, and knelt down directly towards Zhu Di from a distance, and said, "His Royal Highness, the commander of the Beiping Metropolitan Command has surrounded the palace with troops and horses."

Came so fast.

Zhen Wu exclaimed, it has been at most an hour since he got the news, that Xie Gui has already assembled the army, after knowing the information he got from Zhang Xin, Xie Gui planned to use all seven guards in the city to trap the palace.

If you want to gather all seven guards, this speed is not bad.

Is the dog stuff so impatient?

The rest of the officials in the palace heard exclamations from time to time, and began to whisper among each other. Zhu Di looked at this scene with no expression on his face.

Outside the Palace of King Yan, Xie Gui, Zhang Bing, and Zhang Xin stood side by side, and the seven guards were all in armor and armed with spears, and surrounded the Palace of King Yan closely.

Xie Gui looked at the closed gate of King Yan's Mansion, frowned slightly, and turned to look at Zhang Bing.

Zhang Bing let out a cold snort in his heart, and secretly scolded Zhu Di for not knowing good and evil, not binding his own hands, just welcoming them in, and even engaging in such a small trick to make them spend more effort, he decided instantly in his heart, wait until King Yan is arrested After waiting for others, if you don't show them some color, you will be too sorry for the troubles Yan Wang and others have caused them now.

"Thank you Commander, please send someone to speak out, and convey the will of the Holy Majesty clearly. It is best to let King Yan and others be arrested without a fight, so as to prevent us from committing crimes." Zhang Bing said indifferently, as if Zhu Di was already on the chopping board. Meat.

Xie Gui nodded and waved his hand, a soldier stepped forward and shouted.

But the voice seemed to sink into the sea, and there was no response.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Xie Gui's mouth, pretending to be dead?Pretend not to hear?A small trick that can't get on the table.

He turned his head and ordered, and within a moment, a group of archers came out, with the content of the imperial edict tied to their arrows, and the words of persuasion to surrender, under Xie Gui's order, they shot into the palace of King Yan like locusts.

In this way, if you don't surrender, you can attack by force.

The sound of bows and arrows piercing through the air resounded continuously.

The arrows flew into King Yan's mansion, and shot on the pillars, windows, and the ground, and everyone in the hall was shocked. This was just to persuade them to surrender. If it was a real attack, the arrows flying all over the sky would not be as soft as they are now.

Damn it, the Dusi actually came for the real thing, he really hit the door of their Prince Yan's mansion.

Soon, some soldiers collected the paper on the arrow and sent it to the main hall. Zhu Di and everyone took it for inspection. Zhu Di and Zhen Wu knew the content of the edict in advance, so they were not surprised.

But the other civil and military generals in the palace looked at the content on the paper, and their faces were full of anger.

They are from Yanwang Mansion. They are in Beiping, an important military town on the frontier. Whether they are civil servants or generals, some of them have never seen a battlefield, and now someone is threatening them with death.

Moreover, all the subordinates of King Yan's mansion are going to be escorted to the capital, what do you mean?Everyone present counts as one, so they can't escape?

Anyone who doesn't work hard is considered a fucking coward.

Everyone looked at Zhu Di, some of them didn't know that Zhu Di was determined to rebel, but Zhu Di didn't inform them, it didn't mean they were not loyal, and they didn't have one heart with Zhu Di.

It's just that Zhu Di didn't allow them to be strict with their mouths, or he couldn't be sure of their loyalty.

But for so many years, under Zhu Dirunwu's silent wooing, there are really few ambivalent minds, especially the generals in the army, who often trust each other with their lives on the battlefield. The friendship is not comparable to that of ordinary friends. This situation is even more serious. Will not be half-hearted.

At this moment, Xu Xiang suddenly stood up and asked Zhu Di with a cold face: "Your Highness, in this situation, is it possible that Your Highness wants to be arrested without a fight?"

Xu Xiang is the deputy Qianhu of the right guard, who is about the same age as Tan Yuan Wang Zhen, and is considered the Three Musketeers of the right guard, but he does not know that Zhu Di has decided to rebel. They are very good friends, so Zhu Di and others did not secretly inform Xu Xiang.

"What do you want?" Zhu Di was not angry because of Xu Xiang's questioning, but threw the question to Xu Xiang.

Xu Xiang gritted his teeth and said: "It's unfair for you to treat us like this. Why should we still regard you as a father? I, Xu Xiang, have fought for most of my life, and I have never been afraid, let alone surrender?! Now that Zhu Yunqi wants to take me to Beijing for questioning , It's ridiculous, even if I, Xu Xiang, rushed out and died at the hands of the soldiers and horses of the capital, I would definitely not be punished for being so useless."

"What's more, what's wrong with me?! What's wrong with Your Highness? It wasn't because Zhu Yunwen regarded His Highness as a threat and wanted to get rid of it quickly. His Highness's prince was cut off, but I, Xu Xiang, couldn't bear to fight for most of my life to get it." It is impossible to give Zhu Yunqi the position he came here for an unwarranted crime."

"Now I just want to ask His Highness, if His Highness wants to be captured without a fight, then for the sake of Xu Xiang's past achievements, let Xu Xiang go out of the palace alone to have a good time. The lowly position has turned against him, Zhu Yunqi, at worst, we will die in a big way, anyway, such a humiliating confession, like Zhou Wangxiang's mansion and others, is absolutely impossible."

Xu Xiang's words echoed resoundingly in the hall.

Zhen Wu was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Xu Xiang, who was always cheerful and making friends in the past, to have such a staunch nature.

Zhu Di looked at Xu Xiang with no expression on his face, but there was a look of satisfaction in his eyes, this is Zhu Di's soldier.

Everyone in the hall reacted immediately, no matter those who knew they were going to rebel or those who didn't know they were going to rebel, they all started booing.

"Your Highness, let's reverse it."

"Inverted and reversed, kill him upside down."

"Fuck, threaten me with death. When I was fighting in Mobei and Liaodong, why were I afraid of the word "death" and reversed it?"

"Please Your Highness take us back, let's go to Nanjing and let Your Highness be the emperor."

……

All kinds of noisy words rang out in succession. The relatively reserved civil servants looked at this scene and were shocked. They were really a bunch of hob meat. inappropriate.

But it is undeniable that they also expect Zhu Di to lead them to rebel.

This is something that can't be helped, Zhu Yunqi wants to wipe out all the subordinates of the Yan Palace. If Zhu Di doesn't take the lead, they will only have a chance at best.

At this time, Zhen Wu was not far behind, and stood up and said: "Your Highness, you should lead us to turn against you. The new emperor may think of family affection, and spare your highness's life, but we people have no sympathy with the new emperor. Severe punishment is not negligent, and even many people will die because of it. Your Highness is willing to watch the loyal subordinates who have followed you for most of your life die one by one at the hands of the new emperor? They have all shed blood and made meritorious service for Daming. It would be a shame not to die on the battlefield, but to die at the hands of the new emperor."

After hearing Zhen Wu's words, everyone's voice became louder for a while, and everyone realized it. Isn't that the reason? Zhu Di may be able to live, but how much can they survive? Even if Zhu Yunqi didn't kill them, but often In the days to come, there will not be too many people who show their loyalty to Zhu Yunqi with their lives.

Zhu Di sighed, raised his hand to press down, and calmed everyone down.

He stood up, looked around the crowd, and sighed: "The new emperor and I are uncles and nephews, and we are also divided into monarchs and ministers. It stands to reason that the new emperor wants to deprive me of my title and accuse me of crimes. I should obey, but I really don't want to see everyone die because of me. If so, then I will lead everyone to rebel and make him turn upside down. In the future, there will be rebels who will be called famous. I, Zhu Di, will bear it all. All the soldiers protecting the country can save their lives."

Everyone cheered in unison. Their chances of surviving are not great. Taking their lives and taking risks with their boss to do a more promising job is a very profitable thing. After all, once they succeed, they will all become heroes of the founding of the country and their worth will be doubled. rise.

All of the people immediately started clamoring to get out of the Yan Palace.

Zhu Di pressed the pressure again to make everyone quiet, Zhu Di's eyes flashed sharply and said: "Before that, there are still some affairs in the court that need to be dealt with. Yang Jing brought people up."

Following Zhu Di's cold drink.

Yang Jing took the lead, the sergeant pressed Ni Liang who was bound, and the commander of the central guard, Lu Zhen, and the captain, Shi Gecheng, walked in. The sergeants kicked the joints of the thighs and thighs of Ni Liang and the three of them, and directly let the three of them Kneel in the center of the hall.

Zhen Wu looked at Ni Liang and the three of them. He only knew that Ni Liang was a traitor, but he didn't expect Lu Zhen and Ge Cheng to be as well. It must have been the information sent by Zhang Xin, but it might be Zhu Di who found out.

After all, Zhen Wu didn't know Zhu Di's secret power.

Speaking of which, Fan Guanghua is in charge of the Mingmian Army of King Yan's Mansion. Fan Guanghua will have a famous son named Fan Zhong in the future, but Yang Jing will be in charge of the dark power of King Yan's Mansion. He was involved in the case of Hu Weiyong and was rescued by Zhu Di. The way to show up is that Yang Jing has a son named Yang Hong, who is now included in Xue Lu's qualifications.

Zhu Di coldly glanced at the faces of the three of Ni Liang, snorted coldly, and said, "These three have been found out to be Xie Guineiying. Now let's talk about how to punish these three."

Everyone looked at the three of Ni Liang.

Now that the rebellion has been confirmed, how else can it be dealt with?

Even if some of these people have a good relationship with the three of them, at this moment they will only grit their teeth and say, "Kill."

"kill."

"kill."

……

Zhu Di said with satisfaction: "Okay, let's kill them to strengthen our prestige." After speaking, Zhu Di asked the generals in a cold voice: "Who will kill them?!"

Who killed?If he fails in the future, he will definitely die, and if he does not kill, there may be a chance of survival.

But none of the soldiers hesitated, they all wanted to kill him.

Zhen Wu would never miss this kind of thing, he stood up, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, I have an old feud with Ni Liang, I beg Your Highness, let me kill the old thief Ni Liang." After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu returned Turning his head to look at the generals, he said, "I hope you will save face."

Everyone else basically knew that Zhen Wu and Ni Liang had an old feud, so they didn't fight with Zhen Wu, and started fighting for the place to kill the other two.

Ni Liang was already terrified at this moment, he looked at the murderous crowd in the hall, he didn't understand what these people were thinking, this was a rebellion!How dare they.

He thought that everyone should be like him, and when they learned about King Yan's cutting, they should quickly find someone to sneak in to save their lives.

How could it be such a concerted effort?
How did he know, this is also thanks to his thigh Zhu Yunqi's flamboyant manipulation.

Zhen Wu looked at Ni Liang with a sneer, looking at him trembling, as if he could never recall Ni Liang's haughty look when he first met him.

It seems that a long time has passed by then, so long that many people will forget it.

But Er Xian, the sister he loves the most, suffered from rumors and rumors for a long time because of his family.

At that time, the young man lamented that the future will be long, and this day is long enough.

Now he was finally able to be upright, and beheaded this dog in full view.

At this moment, the debate among the crowd had come to an end. Zhang Yu and Qiu Fu, relying on their seniority, grabbed the remaining places. Slashed down with a knife.

Three streams of blood gushed out, as if they had accumulated aggrievedness and anger for a long time, and they were about to spurt out, changing the color of this world.

Zhen Wu and the others watched Ni Liang and the others die slowly with cold eyes, and then the three of them returned to the main hall, knelt down on one knee, and Zhang Yulang said in a loud voice: "Punishment should be punished, Your Highness, please give me an order to get out of the palace. His Royal Highness has left the mansion safely, and when the time comes, the guards will be summoned to conspire with us."

This is Zhang Yu's idea.

But Zhu Di shook his head and said: "Nowadays the city is full of soldiers, how to get out still needs to be outsmarted."

After speaking, Zhu Di looked at Dao Yan.

Dao Yan nodded and stood up and said: "The poor monk has a plan, and he can take Beiping. Most of the soldiers and horses besieging the palace are Zhang Xin's subordinates, and Zhang Xin wanted to help His Highness a few days ago, so we only need to outsmart Zhang Bing and Xie Gui, and then the siege The soldiers and horses of the palace naturally dispersed without a fight."

"As for the nine gates controlled by Xie Gui's confidantes, they must not have guessed that we can break the siege of the palace. As long as we delay the night and make a surprise attack at night, we will be successful in one battle. Once we kill Zhang Bing, Xie Gui and Xie Gui's confidants, Peking The soldiers of the seven guards have no generals to organize and lead, and the generals can subdue them and let them surrender, such a big thing can be achieved."

"Then how can we outwit Zhang Bing and Xie Gui? The two of them surrounded the palace with soldiers." Someone asked aloud.

Dao Yan said to himself with a smile: "To lure him into the palace, to catch a turtle in the urn!"

Zhen Wu's eyes lit up, it's a good idea.

Zhu Di and Dao Yan glanced at each other, the current situation is as expected, there is no accident, the timing is up to me.

……

Ask for a monthly pass.

　Thanks for the 'not too gentle' reward, the boss is generous.

　　I wish all the children a happy Children's Day.

　　In addition, ask for a monthly pass, the first month is more important, um~ if there is an update, the Dragon Boat Festival is a holiday, and I will do my best to give everyone a break.
