Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 407

Rao Zhu Youjian was already mentally prepared that His Majesty Zhu Youxiao didn't want to save his life, but at this moment, he heard with his own ears Li Mingrui, the second assistant to the cabinet, mentioning that His Majesty had no intention of killing the Guanning Army, and even Zu Dashou His younger brother Zu Dale can be lenient, but even after being merciless to his brother, Zhu Youjian still has the feeling of being struck by lightning suddenly.

Once upon a time, I also made a decision like this. Although at the time I also thought of disregarding personal feelings for the sake of Daming's eternal foundation, I still had to admit that I chose to collude with the Donglin Party and intend to kill the emperor's brother, but I also had my own selfish intentions.

Boil beans and burn the bean skip, and the beans are weeping in the cauldron; they grow from the same root, so why is it too urgent to fry each other?

Zhu Youjian couldn't help thinking of Cao Zhi's poem, smiled wryly, and didn't answer.

But Li Mingrui continued to persuade: "It can be seen that the three thousand soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army outside the car are brave fighters who have gone through hundreds of battles. They know that the court has abandoned them and did not turn against them, which shows that they are also loyal people. If you believe Wang Zhen had the heart to let these good men like me, Daming, be buried under the Hamiwei City with you. The officials can’t say anything, but there will be [-] more orphans and widows in this world. I don’t know. Pass."

boom!
Zhu Youjian slapped the table, stood up directly, clenched his fists, and said fiercely: "Stop talking, I promise you, I will die!"

Li Mingrui smiled coldly, a hint of disappointment appeared on his slightly fair face, but he immediately applauded again: "Okay! His Royal Highness Xin Wang is worthy of being a man who dares to act in my Ming Dynasty, and is worthy of being the blood of the royal family! "

"Come here, bring me the Xinghuachun that I have treasured for 12 years!"

Li Mingrui gave an order, and a servant came in with a pot of wine. Li Mingrui took it himself, put a wine glass in front of Zhu Youjian, and deliberately shook it in front of Zhu Youjian, and then poured it for Zhu Youjian. Let's drink.

Zhu Youjian guessed that this might be poisoned wine, but he couldn't help but smiled slightly: "It's a pity, the left and right are just a glass of poisoned wine, there is no need for Mr. Li Ge to send his own good wine to the orphan."

"The lower official admires His Highness Xin Wang as a person who understands righteousness, and it is also appropriate to send His Highness good wine," Li Mingrui said with a smile, and then made a gesture of invitation to Zhu Youjian, and then sat back in his seat.

Zhu Youjian was in a state of confusion at this time. Although he had already looked down on life and death, when he knew that a glass of poisoned wine was placed in front of his eyes, and he was about to drink it to end his own life, he still felt a little fear and excitement. Reluctant.

"Your Highness, don't worry. This poisonous wine is neither peacock gall nor crane crest red. It is a unique potion secreted by the imperial pharmacy. It has special effects only after it is mixed with alcohol. It will not seal your throat or burn your heart. After drinking it, you will not There is a little bit of pain, and within three days it will still be like a normal person, but it will suddenly die suddenly after three days."

What Li Mingrui said made Zhu Youjian's mood more complicated, and he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Unexpectedly, I didn't even have the opportunity to wrap the corpse in horse leather. Please tell Mr. Li Ge that the younger brother is guilty. He shouldn't covet the throne and commit a serious crime." , Now this result is also the fault of the ministers and brothers. Now the national power of the Ming Dynasty is booming. The pirates from Nanping, the north to Monan, and the west to Hami are comparable to the grand occasion of my Taizu Yongle. The emperor is the emperor of heaven and earth, and the king of Ming Dynasty. , It’s my foolish brother’s lack of eyesight, which almost caused my Ming Dynasty to lose a virtuous king, almost caused the Ming Dynasty to suffer the disaster of subjugation, after my brother’s death, I will go to my ancestors to ask for my guilt.”

As he said that, Zhu Youjian turned around solemnly and looked at the yellow sand flying all over the sky outside the car window, the soldiers of the Western Expedition Army who had fought side by side with him for several months under the yellow sand, and the Mongolian Tartars who were killing more and more on the periphery , couldn't help laughing, and the voice became louder and louder, but tears flowed involuntarily from his eyes.

After calming down for a while, Zhu Youjian finally picked up the wine glass. The pink and white porcelain cup of Ding Kiln has a well-proportioned body, the wall is as thin as a cicada's wing, and it is as big as an egg in the hand.

But Zhu Youjian felt that this small glass of wine was as heavy as ten thousand catties.

He was struggling in his heart, and he even thought that now he and Li Mingrui were the only ones in the carriage, and he could hold this cabinet scholar hostage with his own ability.

And then took the cabinet assistant as a hostage, so as to avoid this crisis of death.

Zhu Youjian is not sure whether he can get the support of the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army by doing so, but he believes that he has fought bloody battles with them for so long. At least not on their own hands.

The only thing to worry about is the imperial guards, but with Li Mingrui around, the imperial guards will surely throw their hands at them.

But what's the point of doing this? I can't compete with the imperial court on my own. Even if I kidnap Li Mingrui and escape here, I won't be able to return to Central Earth safely.

And taking Li Mingrui's life doesn't seem to be of much value.

What's more, by doing this, I really ruined the lives of three thousand soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army. They will lose their last chance of survival because of their fear and hesitation.

"Da Ming can live without Zhu Youjian, but he can't live without these three thousand brave and loyal men!"

As Zhu Youjian spoke, he suddenly raised his wine glass, opened his mouth, and poured the orange-red liquid into his mouth.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help choking because the pour was too hasty. The wine was very spicy and full of strength, burning people's hearts. Even Zhu Youjian, who had tasted countless palace wines, couldn't help but praise it.

"Li Ge Lao's wine is really good, strong enough!"

……

Li Mingrui just smiled faintly, and there was no hint of joy or anger in his deep eyes. His thick eyebrows were shaking up and down, and the wrinkles on his forehead were tightened, as if he was thinking about something.

But immediately, Li Mingrui suddenly shouted: "Come here! His Royal Highness Xin Wang insulted the father, intending to hold me hostage to blackmail the current emperor, disregarding court etiquette, and interfering in state affairs. The name is to join the army and march west. It was taken immediately, escorted to Beijing, and delivered by His Majesty himself. I am here under the emperor's order, and I have the right to take it first and ask questions later, and execute it immediately."

Five Jinyi guards suddenly walked out of another secret room in the car, and the five Jinyi guards sang "Yes!" together and buckled Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help feeling terrified, and asked back: "What is the meaning of Mr. Li Ge? Gu has already taken poisoned wine, why do you arrest Gu for no reason?"

"Since King Xin is determined to die, why ask so many questions, there must be an explanation for some things, even if it is a sudden death, there must be a reason, isn't it?"

After speaking, Li Mingrui didn't say anything more, but immediately pulled the prison cart, and Xin Wang Zhu Youjian was also pulled out, and he was about to be put into the prison cart.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help showing bitterness on his face. He didn't expect this old Li Ge to come out like this, but when he thought that he couldn't live for three hours, he didn't need to care so much. He was going to die anyway. Escorted to Beijing in the prison car, it is also a good thing to return to the root of the fallen leaves.
