Jiming Mountain, Xiaoling.

The sound of shouting and killing under the mountain shook the sky, and from time to time there was the sound of artillery roaring.

Shocked to hear that Deng Ming was given death, the bad news of King Qin's martyrdom, King Qin's younger brother and the third prince of Jin, King Zhu Li, was furious.

The veteran Wei Guogong Deng Yu lost his beloved daughter and was in pain. Although the emperor did not anger the Deng family for the time being, Mao Xiang found the second son Deng Ling through the drug in the Buddhist hall, Deng Ling was arrested and put in the Imperial Prison, and after being tortured, he actually recruited the same trick he had used to Beiyuan Proton and Xu Miaoyi ten years ago! It's just that the two of them were too cunning at that time, so they blew up the restaurant and jumped into the Qinhuai River to escape the catastrophe!

The headless case of the year was finally closed. Mao Xiang secretly played this matter, adding fuel to the fire, the daughters and sons of the Deng family are all wolf ambitions, Emperor Hongwu was furious, regardless of the friendship of the monarch and ministers for many years, and ordered the Deng family of the Weiguo Mansion to be wiped out!

The Patriotic Mansion was cornered. Deng Yu was shocked to hear the evil things his son had done, and he burst into tears, kowtowed in the direction of the palace and apologized, claiming that the old minister had no way to teach his son, and drew his sword to kill himself.

As soon as Deng Yu died, the Deng family was about to face a catastrophe, so they simply made a desperate bet, and actually raised the clan to break into the edict with the grieving Jin King Zhu Li, rescued Deng Ling, and forced the palace to rebel!

Emperor Hongwu mourned Empress Ma in Xiaoling, and the rebels besieged Jiming Mountain. Zhu Di, the king of Yan, led a large camp on the outskirts of Beijing to block the rebels, and fought from evening to dawn, and the war continued.

Emperor Hongwu stood on the high platform of Xiaoling and overlooked, Hu Shan held a plain cotton coat, draped it on Emperor Hongwu, and persuaded: "The emperor go back, there is artillery in the rebel camp, I'm afraid it will hit here." ”

Emperor Hongwu stubbornly stood in place, in just three days, he was old and thin, his upper eyelids drooped down, covering half of his eyes, the skin around his lips was wrinkled, and even his beard was messy and withered, like a wild grass under the cold wind.

Emperor Hongwu shook his head, "San Lang will not aim the cannon here, this is Xiaoling, it is the queen's resting place, his biological mother died early, it was the queen who raised their brothers to grow up, no matter how much he hates my father, he will not disturb Xiaoling." ”

Hu Shanwei served the emperor for many years, knew the emperor's sorrow, lost his beloved wife, and then the second prince was martyred, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and before he had time to cry, the news of the three princes plotting against the palace came.

Hu Shanwei said softly: "Your Majesty, King Jin was just blinded by the traitor Deng family for a while, and he and King Qin have a deep brotherhood, so they took the wrong path. There is a saying among our people that there is no overnight feud between father and son, and when King Jin comes to his senses, he will definitely be—"

Bang!

When the artillery fire hit, Hu Shanwei instinctively used his body as a shield to protect Emperor Hongwu......

Zhu Li, the king of Jin, still fired at Xiaoling.

Zhu Di looked at the boulder rolling down from the collapsed platform from a distance, and his heart was cold, when he led the troops to block the rebels, Mao Xiang passed on the message of his father, the Deng family should be killed, but he must save the life of the third brother.

Therefore, Zhu Di and Zhu Li, the king of Jin, had reservations when they fought against each other, mainly to drain the strength of the rebels, and forced the third brother to surrender on his own initiative, so as to save the third brother's life.

But now...... Zhu Li actually opened fire on Xiaoling, and the war could not drag on any longer, otherwise both his father and Xiaoling would be in danger - Xiaoling was the resting place of Queen Ma after all.

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and he waved the red order flag in his hand, "Pass my order, the army in front will press the formation, attack the rebels from the rear, and destroy the rebels' □□ battalion first, and the artillery there will endanger Xiaoling." ”

His general, Zhang Yu, asked, "What about King Jin?" ”

Zhu Di took a deep breath, "Shoot the horse's leg and capture it alive." ”

Zhang Yu had a worried look on his face: "Mao Xiang has already passed on the emperor's message to protect the King of Jin." If His Royal Highness does this, even if he only shoots the horse's legs, King Jin will definitely be injured or even killed, and His Highness will be burdened with the black cauldron of fratricide at that time. Marking a suggestion, dragging it out a little longer, exhausting their strength, this rabble did not even prepare food and grass, and could not hold out for long, and when the night came, the people were sleepy and tired, and they would definitely surrender. ”

Zhu Di pursed his thin lips, "The situation is dangerous, it's not the time to care about my personal gains and losses, let's start." ”

The rebels were surrounded by Zhu Di's army, and the king of Jin's mount fell to the ground with an arrow, he broke his left leg, and at the end of his rope, he limped to the edge of the cliff with a sword as a staff.

Seeing that King Jin was about to jump off the cliff, Zhu Di turned over and dismounted, retreated from everyone, took off his armor, abandoned his weapons, spread his empty hands and said: "Third brother! Don't make a mistake again and again! ”

King Jin dragged his broken leg and laughed wildly: "Am I wrong?" No, it's my father's mistake! The second brother and Deng Ming were childhood sweethearts, and the father ordered Deng Ming to be killed, how could he not know that the second brother would be sad? He's my own brother! I'm not as cold-blooded and ruthless as my father, stabbing my relatives in the heart again and again! My second brother sacrificed love for the Ming Dynasty and married the lord of Beiyuan; Now that even his beloved is dead, he is desperate for such a selfish, cruel and cold-blooded father, and he has no love in life, so he will choose martyrdom! ”

King Jin's tears burst the embankment, washing the blood on his face, "I buried my second brother with my own hands, his blood was drained, and his body was light, but with a smile on his face, how desperate he was in this world, he would choose to end his life in the painful way of piercing his heart!" I think death is better than life! ”

Zhu Di slowly approached King Jin and said: "I empathize with the pain of the third brother, if one day I look at Goro's corpse, under the dramatic mourning, it is estimated that I will go to the extreme like the second brother." But the third brother, the death of the second brother is not just the fault of the father alone, not to mention the father's dictation, ordering me to protect your life. The queen mother died, the second brother committed suicide, and the father didn't want to lose the third brother anymore. ”

King Jin laughed, "My father has so many sons, so why don't you have a few?" Haven't you woken up yet? Except for the crown prince, how could he have taken it to heart for us, the vassal kings? Just like now, his father is in distress in Jiming Mountain, and the eldest brother of the prince sits firmly in the palace, and as his prince, no matter what the life or death of his father is, he is unscathed. And you? My father wants you to crusade against me, just to take out the crown prince and let you bear the black cauldron of fratricide! ”

The king of Jin moved to the edge of the cliff, the clouds and mountains under his feet were covered with fog, and he couldn't see the bottom, once he fell, he might not even be able to find the corpse.

Zhu Di's eyes flashed, and he said: "Thank you for the third brother's guidance, the fourth brother understands that the cranes and mussels compete with each other, and the fisherman profits, if the third brother has any three strengths and two weaknesses, the fourth brother I will be convicted of mutilating my siblings, and the courtiers are originally suspicious of us vassal kings, and they are bound to shout for cutting the feudal domain, and the brothers will not have a good life in the future." ”

Zhu Di got closer and closer to the King of Jin, and comforted: "So please come down with me, the children of your family are still waiting for you to go back." My father has promised me that the eldest son of the third brother will inherit the title of prince in the future, and the other sons will be crowned the king of the county, and the daughter will be the lord of the county, and he will not slack off. ”

When it came to the children, King Jin was slightly moved, his body with a sword shook, and he was almost swept into the cliff by the north wind, he fixed his body, and said gloomily: "I took the risk of forcing the palace to seize the throne, not for the wealth of myself and my family, but just to clear the charge for the second brother and Deng Ming, rewrite history, and don't let this pair of hard-working mandarin ducks have to bear the infamy after the ages." But I was unlucky, I lost in the hands of my fourth brother, since I was defeated, I have to admit defeat, I hope that I will have better luck in the next life, and I don't want to reincarnate in the emperor's family. ”

With that, the King of Jin abandoned his sword, stood on one foot, and fell down the cliff on his back!

"Let go of me! Let me go see my second brother! ”

King Jin's whole body was suspended on the cliff, Zhu Di fell to the ground, holding the pine tree on the edge of the cliff with his left hand, and holding King Jin's hand with his right hand and refusing to let go.

King Jin was ruthless, his right arm was forced, his body was pulled up, and he actually opened his mouth to bite the back of Zhu Di's hand and forced him to let go!

The right hand was in severe pain, instinctively to let go, and was re-held by Zhu Di's strong willpower, Zhu Di's legs wrapped around the pine tree, freed his left hand, and grabbed the neckline of King Jin.

At this time, Zhang Yu and others rushed up, opened a big net to catch the king of Jin, dragged him up, and the king of Jin was saved.

Yanwang Mansion, Xu Miaoyi carefully applied wound medicine to the back of Zhu Di's hand, and the two rows of tooth marks were deep and the bones were visible, Miaoyi gasped, "Does it still hurt?" ”

Ten fingers connected to the heart, Zhu Di was so painful that his intestines seemed to be knotted, and in order to comfort his wife, he said lightly: "Fortunately, the medicine you prepared is very effective, and if you apply it to a cool piece, you won't feel much pain." ”

Xu Miaoyi skillfully bandaged the wound with gauze and sighed: "The third brother is too ruthless, ruthless to himself, and even more ruthless to others." Even Xiaoling dared to open fire, it seems that the prince's title cannot be kept. ”

Zhu Di said: "My father took the title and sent him to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum, so that the son inherited the throne of King Jin, and the third brother was saved." ”

Xu Miaoyi felt sorry for her husband, "But there is a lot of rumors outside, saying that King Yan did not hesitate to kill his siblings in order to make meritorious contributions, did they ever know that you almost lost your life in order to save King Jin?" ”

Zhu Di said: "Don't worry, my father knows what happened, and he will send Jinyi Wei to quell the rumors." In fact, I had expected this kind of rumor before leading the troops. But the third brother forced the palace to rebel, someone always had to stand up and quell the chaos, the eldest brother of the prince wanted to sit in the palace, the second brother died, if I didn't come forward to carry the black cauldron, would I want the fifth brother to stand on it? ”

Thinking about Zhu Hu's appearance of soaking in medical books all day long and not even holding a sword steadily, Xu Miaoyi shook her head, "Forget it, for the sake of the fifth brother, we will swallow this secret loss first." In fact, you don't need Jinyiwei to check carefully, it must be the rumors secretly spread by those vassals in the East Palace, it's really chilling to think about it, they like to use this kind of trick to hurt people, and when Jinyiwei really finds out about them, Mao Cheng just cut a few leads, and then say that the East Palace is deceived by traitors, and it doesn't hurt to prevaricate in the past, in short, the East Palace is the prince, and he will inherit the throne in the future, we are courtiers, the East Palace will not be wrong, and the fault is someone else. ”

Xu Miaoyi has been married into the royal family for ten years, and she has been familiar with Emperor Hongwu's routines, she is too eccentric, not only the Yan Palace, but also the other vassal kings have their own grievances, so no matter how the rumors spread in the capital, the vassal kings are like mirrors in their hearts, and they feel that King Yan quelled the rebellion, saved the third brother, and was splashed with dirty water - fortunately, I am not the fourth, otherwise I would have been pushed out by my father to carry the black cauldron! 166 Reading Network
