Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 338 Zhu Gaoxuan: Your Majesty, why is this?
The scene quieted down.

Ah Qi and a group of shadow attendants led three hundred cavalry to confront Emperor Jianwen.Behind Zhu Yunqi is Jianwen Yingshi who has followed him for many years.

No one spoke first, only Hu Wei kept whining on the ground.

Ah Qi thought for a moment, got off his horse, bowed and said, "My lord, by the order of His Highness the Crown Prince, I have come here to invite His Majesty Jianwen to go to Beijing and have a talk with His Majesty Yongle. His Majesty Yongle is thinking of his uncle and nephew. I hope that His Majesty Jianwen can ignore the past and return to Beijing with his ministers."

Jianwen Yingshi said disdainfully: "He, Zhu Di, is a nephew who is a rebellious minister. I think he has a regicide in his heart. If you want to take your majesty away, step over my corpse!"

Ah Qi's hand was already on the hilt of the knife. She had no intention of negotiating peacefully, but was just being polite in a symbolic manner.

Do you really think that the three hundred cavalry she brought are just for watching flowers?
But Zhu Yunqi scolded Jianwen Yingshi: "Don't be rude!"

He looked at Ah Qi with a smile, kept silent about the meeting with Zhu Di, and asked instead, "Are you a child of the Lan family?"

Ah Qi paused: "His Majesty Jianwen still recognizes me?"

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said: "If my father hadn't died of illness, you should still be the daughter of the Duke's mansion."

A Qi shook his head: "It's all the past, His Majesty Jianwen doesn't need to mention it."

Zhu Yunwen sighed: "In the past, Emperor Jianwen is just a cloud in the past. You go back and tell Fourth Uncle that I am just a monk now, so he doesn't need to be attached."

Ah Qi stood where he was, watching Emperor Jianwen calmly.

How could she just go back like this?
The reason for saying those polite words is that no matter how you say it, Zhu Yunqi was once the emperor of Ming Dynasty, so as to give the other party a step down.If Zhu Yunwen can't let go, then she will get serious.

Ah Qi suddenly remembered something, and said, "Before coming, His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to send a message to His Majesty Jianwen."

Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly: "Prince...is it my cousin Gao Chi?"

He has been playing hide-and-seek with Hu Min all these years, traveling mountains and rivers, and he is completely ignorant of the changes in the court, and he thought that the current crown prince is Zhu Gaochi, the former son of King Yan.

Ah Qi shook his head: "His Royal Highness, he is the fourth son of His Majesty today."

"Gao Yi, has he become the prince?"

Zhu Yunqi was a little surprised, "Forget it, this has nothing to do with me, what message did Gao Xuan ask you to pass on to me?"

A Qi said with a blank face: "His Royal Highness said that if Emperor Jianwen is willing to go to Beijing and have a long talk with His Majesty Yongle, then everyone will be happy. If Emperor Jianwen is not willing to go to Beijing, then let me send those old ministers in Zhao Prison on the road."

When Emperor Jianwen was defeated like a mountain, he ran out from Nanjing. After Zhu Di entered Beijing, there was a bloodbath, and too many old Jianwen officials died in that bloodbath.

Those who survived were either dismissed from office or imprisoned in Zhao Prison.

Up to now, there are still hundreds of Jianwen ex-officials detained in Zhao Prison in Nanjing, living a life of darkness.

Jianwen Yingshi immediately drew his knife and pointed at Ah Qi: "Who do you think you are talking to?"

The Lord humiliated his ministers to death, Ah Qi's words were tantamount to humiliating Emperor Jianwen in front of them, how could the Shadow Attendants tolerate it?

Ah Qi glanced at Jianwen Yingshi: "It's not big or small."

Although she is also a girl, but now she is the envoy of Emperor Yongle to negotiate with Emperor Jianwen.

If it was Yongle Shadow Attendant, the emperor would not speak, and they would absolutely not be allowed to interrupt.Where is it like Jianwen Yingshi, who looks more majestic than Emperor Jianwen himself.

"you!"

Jianwen Yingshi just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhu Yunqi raising his hand: "Okay."

"Isn't it just a trip to Beijing?"

"I can go."

Zhu Yunwen stared at Ah Qi, and said, "But you have to promise me that if I go to Beijing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will release the old Jianwen officials who are detained in Zhao Prison."

A Qi shook his head: "I can't make the decision, His Majesty Jianwen needs to talk with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or His Majesty Yongle."

Zhu Yunwen frowned and said nothing.

He could understand what Ah Qi wanted to express in his words.

It is said that Ah Qi is not qualified to call the shots. In fact, she is telling Emperor Jianwen clearly: You have no choice.

If Emperor Jianwen refused to agree, Ah Qi could still take him away forcibly with a group of Yongle Shadow Attendants and three hundred cavalry.

From the very beginning, the two sides were not negotiating on the same level, or in other words, it was not a negotiation at all.

Seeing that Zhu Yunqi was being bullied everywhere, Jian Wenying waiter put the blade on Hu Yu's neck: "Since Your Excellency is so sincere, then I will see blood first and give Zhu Di a meeting gift!"

Hu Wei: "!!!"

Zhu Yunqi didn't stop him this time, he just acted as if he couldn't see it.

Although he had disguised himself as a monk who sympathized with the world during his traveling career of more than ten years, in his bones, he was still the cold-blooded and cruel Emperor Jianwen after all.Back then when he killed his own uncle, he didn't even bat an eyelid, let alone Hu Wei, an irrelevant person.

During these years of life as a fugitive, the reason why he has never done anything to Hu Min is because Hu Min is not a threat to him, and the second is because he wants to fool Zhu Di.

How could he have thought that this inconspicuous little man, Hu Yan, really caught him by the tail, Zhu Yunwen's bowels are now remorseful, if he knew it earlier, he would have killed him with a knife.

However, facing the knife on Hu's neck, Ah Qi didn't even bat an eyelid.

"Whether he dies or not, what does it matter to me?"

Hearing this, Hu Wei lay on the ground sprawled all over, looking up at the sky with dead fish eyes.

This damned Ah Qi, generous with the generosity of others, spends money of other people's surname, so calm, co-author is not your death.

"Wait!"

Zhu Yunqi finally spoke, stopped the shadow waiter, and rescued Xiao Hu.

He figured it out, Ah Qi really didn't take Hu Min's life seriously, and wanted to use Hu Min's life as a bargaining chip, then the bargaining chip was worthless.If Hu Yan is killed at this time, it will only anger Zhu Di, and he will be greeted with more fierce revenge.

Yongle Shadow Servants are more cold-blooded and fierce than the Jianwen Shadow Servants around him, and their methods are also more clever.

Zhu Yunxuan clenched his fists, and finally bowed his head slightly: "Your Excellency, please lead the way."

"I would like to go to Beijing with Your Excellency to meet my fourth uncle."

……

In the Wenhua Hall, the flames of the candlesticks flickered, like a sincere dancer dancing on the bright red stage. In the silent night, the hall was still quiet and permeating.

Zhu Gaoxuan was feeding the small dried fish to the big white cat. He rested his chin in one hand, as if he felt something novel.

Although this cat has been raised for a long time, he himself rarely feeds it, and Ah Qi takes care of it on weekdays.It's just that this time Ah Qi went far away, and Zhu Gaoxuan didn't want others to take care of his cat, so he took time out of government affairs every day to feed it himself.

"Aqi's side should have received Emperor Jianwen."

While feeding the cat, Zhu Gaoxuan was thinking about something, "Bring Emperor Jianwen back and let him meet the old man. The old man probably won't be able to do this, so I can only do it..."

"Grandpa, you misunderstood me. I wanted to bring Emperor Jianwen back to provide for him in the old age. I never thought of killing him."

"Really, I say this from the bottom of my heart. You can't wrong your grandson."

The old Zhu in his mind seemed to have heard Zhu Gaoxuan's thoughts, and made a strong protest.Zhu Gaoxuan almost forgot about this, and had another good excuse.

"Meow~"

Zhu Gaoyi looked down, and the big white cat lightly bit his finger, meowing as if to express something.

"What, do you think the dried fish is unpalatable, or... hmm?"

Zhu Gaoxuan frowned slightly, and looked towards the direction of the back door of the main hall. He was keenly aware that there was an ominous sign slowly approaching him.

The big white cat walked slowly and hid behind him with the dried fish in its mouth.This little thing probably also smelled danger, and hid behind its master to avoid disaster.

Zhu Gaoyi sighed: "After all the calculations in the world, in the end someone else calculated it on my head."

The back door of the main hall was slowly pushed open, and more than a dozen masked swordsmen in coir raincoats walked in slowly.

……

Outside the Wenhua Hall, there happened to be a team of twelve guards patrolling the imperial guards.

"My lord, shouldn't we all be patrolling beside the temple in the past, why did we just go around today?" A soldier of the forbidden army asked suspiciously.

The leader rode on a high horse, glanced at the Wenhua Palace which was lit in the middle of the night, and said: "I will patrol this road in the future, so as not to disturb the prince, you know, the prince always works at night , if I disturb him to deal with state affairs, wouldn’t it be a matter of national affairs being missed.”

The soldier frowned and said, "But, the higher-ups have never issued such an order..."

"But what but!"

The team leader was a little impatient, "This was just drawn up by our team leaders last night. If you have any opinions, you can ask other team leaders tomorrow morning, or you can go directly to General Fan Zhong and report to me."

"I dare not to be humble."

"If you don't dare, just stop talking nonsense and continue patrolling. If you don't care about your own business, don't talk less. Are you asking for trouble by asking so many questions?"

"That's what my lord taught me."

A group of imperial guards continued to patrol along the road, but they didn't notice that the lights of Wenhua Hall suddenly went out.

……

Zhu Di woke up from his sleep, he was gasping for breath, his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

He had a nightmare just now, in the dream...

He didn't dare to think about it, and shouted: "Tang Cheng! Tang Cheng!"

"Little Chengzi, where did you die!"

Tang Cheng even scrambled and ran over, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your maidservant is here, please give orders to Long Live Lord."

"Quick, quick, help me to the Wenhua Palace... quick!"

His Majesty the Emperor panicked, "I dreamed, dreamed... damn thing, why don't you help me to see the prince!"

"Here!"

Tang Cheng hurriedly supported His Majesty to get up, not daring to say more.

Ever since he fainted once, the emperor's health has become more and more unbearable, and he hasn't had a good night's sleep for half a month.Tonight, I managed to fall asleep with difficulty, but woke up suddenly. It really made people worry whether the old man's body could withstand such a toss.

But this is not something he should consider. He will do whatever His Majesty the Emperor says.

"By the way, ask Fan Zhong to follow along, let him bring the forbidden army, and go to the Wenhua Palace with me!"

Zhu Di shouted as if grasping at straws, "I have a hunch that something serious will happen!"

……

With the support of Tang Cheng, Zhu Di tremblingly walked all the way to the front of Wenhua Hall.

Behind him, Fan Zhong led hundreds of armored soldiers of the forbidden army, waiting in full force.

"Open the door!"

Zhu Di yelled, Fan Zhong stepped forward quickly, and pushed open the main hall door, but his eyes widened, and he took a few steps back abruptly, as if there was some terrifying beast in front of him.

"Your Majesty, this, this, this, this..."

Fan Zhong didn't know what to say for a moment. He was sweating profusely and wanted to explain to the emperor, but he couldn't speak a complete sentence.

Regardless of everyone's dissuasion, Zhu Di pushed Tang Cheng away and rushed into the hall.

When he saw the scene in the hall, he also froze in place.

However, Zhu Gaoxuan was sitting calmly behind the desk, his snow-white fox fur cloak was stained red with blood, and he was stroking the big white cat's fur with one hand, as if he was comforting the frightened pet.The other hand held the wolf hair, dipped some blood spilled on the table, as if it was dipped in cinnabar, and continued to use the blood to correct the notes.

Behind him, hung a red and blood-stained barrier knife, with the tip of the knife pointing down, and blood dripped onto the floor along the edge of the knife.

Inside the Wenhua Hall, lay the corpses of more than a dozen masked swordsman in coir raincoats, with strange deaths and stab wounds all over their bodies.The strong smell of blood rushed to the face, like Senluo Hell.

The people behind the scene may have forgotten one thing:

Even if he can bribe the twelve guards to open the way, even if he catches the gap between Ah Qi's departure from the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Gaoxuan himself is a brave general with unmatched courage.

He once overwhelmed thousands of troops in the school field, and once led eight hundred brave cavalry to stand alone against the mighty wind of Oala in the pass of Hulan.

Although he feels that personal force is useless on a battlefield of tens of thousands of people, it does not mean that he is really a politician who can only play with words.

Holding the knife, he is the general who suppresses one side.

Knife aside, he's a calculating schemer.

Zhu Gaoxuan raised his head and looked at Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, what is the reason?"

……

Zhu Di waved away Fan Zhong, Tang Cheng and others wearily, sat beside Zhu Gaodi, and asked, "What's going on?"

"The cinnabar in the Wenhua Palace has run out, and I see this person coming to send warmth, so I simply replaced the cinnabar with blood and continued to correct the papers."

"You know that's not what I'm asking."

"If you are asking about Emperor Jianwen, he should be here in a short time..."

"That's not what I asked."

Zhu Di frowned and said, "Who did it? Who has the ability to bribe the top twelve guards, bypass numerous obstacles, and send the assassin into the heavily guarded Wenhua Palace? How did he catch you without a trace?" During this period of time, did you launch a surprise attack on you?"

Zhu Gaoyi was silent for a while, then said: "Father, don't think too much about it, this is a coincidence."

"You don't have to fool me, there are so many coincidences in this world."

Zhu Di said in a deep voice, "For all the coincidences, someone has already arranged everything. It's not a fate, it's human work. I'm not too old to be confused. Even if you want to carry all the burdens by yourself, you should more or less Tell me, so that I can feel at ease."

"You are not a god, you are a human being, and you will be born, old, sick, and die. As long as you are a human being, there are things you cannot do."

"Tell me, and I will help you."

"Don't let me, a father, leave in a daze, and leave all the suffering and tiredness to you, a son. How can I rest in peace underground?"
