The city is broken, the city is broken, the Yan army has entered the city! ”

The people ran through the streets in panic, and an old man in his sixties staggered a few steps as if the sky had fallen, and fell to the ground. Immediately, the iron cavalry of the brigade galloped past him, and the sound of horses' hooves "lala" was terrifying, and the first person in the team, holding a big flag in his hand, hunted in the wind, was a "Yan" Yu.

"Oh my God, the Yan army has entered the city!"

The old man shouted frantically twice, ran to the dripping eaves of a house next to him and stood there, seeing that Yan Jun galloped past him like a flood regardless of his footsteps, the old man's soul screamed twice without possession, and then suddenly came to his senses, and thought about it carefully: "Yan Jun entered the city... What does it have to do with my old man? ”

The old man was honest, standing still against the wall, no longer shouting, no longer moving, occasionally turned around, and suddenly found a hole poked in the window lattice next to him, and the owner of the house stuck to the window, revealing one eye, was watching the movement on the street, and suddenly had a funny feeling.

Since Zhu Sui, the king of the valley, knew that the fourth emperor brother did not mind that he abandoned Xuanfu and defected to the emperor, the balance of psychology fell in favor of Zhu Di. To be honest, the reason why he defected to Jinling in the first place was because he expected that King Yan would not succeed, and King Yan had no strength to fight against the emperor at all, so he could only choose the emperor's side.

He doesn't have many soldiers and horses, and he doesn't care about cutting the domain, but what is the cutting of the domain? Cutting the feudal domain is to cut off the soldiers and horses of the feudal king, and to cut off the feudal king's right to lead the troops, the feudal king is only a prince and not a feudal king, but his nephew who is "benevolent and filial" is too ruthless, and the means are not to cut the feudal domain, but to cut the king! Just like Liu Sheng, the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, in addition to his own lineage, he wanted to kill the royal clansmen in other rooms.

But he thought that no one could fight against the emperor, so he played a little clever, and took advantage of the Yan Wang's soldiers to enter the Xuanfu and fled directly to the capital, and came to a "self-throwing net". "There is no soldier or general in his hands, and it is expected that the emperor will no longer see him as a threat, but because King Yan was forced to rebel against the emperor and stop the steps of cutting the domain, he was able to be saved, in this case, how could he be loyal to Jianwen.

It was Li Jinglong who secretly ambushed his own soldiers behind the tent and invited him to discuss major matters, there was no need for Li Jinglong to throw a cup as a military admonition, and the king of Gu immediately followed the good and promised to invite King Yan to enter Beijing in Kaicheng.

As soon as King Yan's army entered from Jinchuan Gate, the streets and alleys were full of people shouting, and the news of Yan Army's entry into the city soon spread throughout the city. Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, was originally guarding the Shence Gate, but when he heard that the Yan army had entered the city from the Jinchuan Gate, he suddenly thundered like five thunderbolts, and immediately led the army to come. At this time, the news of the Yan army's entry into the city had spread throughout the city, and the only one who was willing to wave the army to greet him was Xu Huizu, and the other guards, fathers, ministers, relatives, and kings in other cities were silent and did not move.

When Xu Hui's ancestral soldiers arrived at Zhongfu Gate, they encountered the oncoming Yan army, and when the Yan army entered the city, they received a strict order from the king of Yan: they were not allowed to approach the palace and face quickly, and the thirteen city gates were controlled. King Yan's biggest headache is that after entering the city, he doesn't know how to face the emperor, and now he can only hope for Xia Xun Before that, he can only leave the palace alone, and the first thing he has to do now is to control the entire city first, as long as the thirteen gates are in control, the officials he will arrest will not be afraid that they will escape.

It is that the Yan army immediately rushed to the city gates after entering the city, this way the soldiers and horses are led by Qiu Fu, and when they arrived at Zhongfu Gate, they collided with Xu Lizu, Xu Huizu except for a team of personal soldiers, the other sergeants have long lost the courage to fight to the death, as soon as the two armies contacted, they were defeated and fled, only Xu Huizu's personal soldiers followed him closely.

Xu Huizu's crotch war horse was stabbed to death by the Yan army's spear, and immediately jumped on another war horse led by the general to fight again, Qiu Fu saw that he was brave, and waved his knife to fight with him, Xu Huizu only had a team of personal soldiers, outnumbered, and was killed and retreated, and was forced to retreat to the west of Shence Gate, and even Shence Horse was occupied by Qiu Fu's soldiers and horses.

At this time, there were only a dozen cronies left by Xu Huizu's side, all of them with injuries, Xu Huizu looked at the situation left and right, sighed gloomily, and left after the horse, Qiu Fu saw him fleeing, and did not chase after him, he smiled, and went to take over the Shence Gate.

Xu Huizu returned to Zhongshan Wangfu with a bloodstain, and the family members who had already been worried greeted him, Xu Huizu's face sank like water, and he ignored the greetings of his wife and children, and went straight to the ancestral hall, and kowtowed three heads in front of the Danshu iron coupon given by the emperor of the tribute, took off the Danshu iron coupon, held it in his arms, and came to his father Xu Da General Ling, his expression was extremely complicated, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word, just bent his knees, and he couldn't kneel for a long ......time.

"Where is my fifth brother locked up now?"

As soon as King Yan entered the city, there were already some knowledgeable officials on both sides of the city gate to greet him, and when he saw him coming, he immediately knelt on the ground, and Zhu Di didn't recognize a few, so he pulled the war horse and asked in a loud voice.

Huang Zhen immediately got up and responded: "Your Highness, the minister knows where His Royal Highness King Zhou is detained. ”

King Yan looked at his robe and knew that it was an official of the imperial envoy's platform, and said with great joy: "Lead the way in front of the head!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Huang Zhen immediately ran in his head, and when King Yan saw it, he hurriedly ordered: "Give him a horse!" ”

At that moment, a pro-soldier jumped off the war horse and gave the horse to Huang Zhen, Huang Zhen was flattered, and hurriedly let the pro-soldier climb on the horse and lead King Yan away.

The family of Zhu Qi, the king of Zhou, was locked up in a place west of the palace near the Huanyi Bureau. The children were detained in different courtyards, and the Zhou king Zhu Qi and the princess Feng had a single courtyard, a room, and a palm-sized courtyard, which seemed to come out next door, and the specially raised wall made him unable to see anything except a corner of the sky above his head.

The couple were imprisoned here, and the jailer could not fetch water for them to feed or feed them except for a sip of drinking water every day, nor could they give them toilets, clean up their filth, and eat and drink Lazar all in the courtyard, so that the courtyard and their bodies were full of stench. They were still wearing the clothes they wore for the winter, and because it was hot, Zhu Qi wore his robe, revealing his skinny, mud-covered chest, and squatted in the corner of the courtyard, fiddling with a weed.

At this point, of course, he couldn't still have the heart to think about herbs, not to mention that it was just an ordinary weed, but he always had to find something to do, otherwise he would really be driven crazy.

Princess Feng was wearing a close-fitting little dress, the door of this courtyard was sealed, and every day the food was stuffed in through the small hole at the bottom, and she didn't have to worry about being seen by people other than her husband. She sat against the courtyard wall, her head hidden in the shadow of the eaves, her body reflected in the sun, the torn cotton jacket spread out on her legs, catching lice.

The yard is too quiet, it has always been so quiet, because this area is the most deserted place in the whole Jinling City, and the "popping" sound when the long untrimmed nails pinch the lice seems to be shaking the ear drums faintly swollen when listening to the ears.

Everything out there, they don't know.

In those days in Yunnan, they were banished to the wilderness, and they did not know what happened in the Central Plains. When they were suddenly escorted back to Beijing, they happened to listen to the idle chatter of the escort officers and soldiers halfway, and vaguely knew that after the emperor arrested the king of Qi and him, it seemed that several princes were arrested one after another, and the acting king was imprisoned in Sichuan, and the whole family of the king of Xiang was burned by himself, and the fourth brother ......, as if he had rebelled.

But then, he didn't know anything, since he entered the Jingshi, all the couple could see was a corner of the sky above their heads, and after a long time, there was nothing to talk about between the two couples, so they were so demented

Living my life, sometimes when I don't look at that weed in a daze. He would lie in the yard, looking at that corner of the sky, hoping that if a cloud would pass by, he would be able to see something moving, and at this time, he would occasionally think of his four

Elder brother.......

Zhu Peng was bored fiddling with the weed, the courtyard door rang a few times, Zhu Peng was a little curious, it was not time to eat, how could someone come over today? Immediately afterwards, the courtyard door was opened, and the head of the jailer, Li Bei, walked in.

On the first day of his detention here, King Zhou had seen this jailer, but he could no longer remember his name. Li Bei bowed respectfully, and said with a smile: "Oh, His Royal Highness King Zhou, Princess Niangniang, the little person is soft-spoken, and he has never been able to take care of the two of you, look at it, let you suffer." The villain can't help himself.........

Zhu Peng slowly stood up and looked at him numbly, after being detained for so long, his people and consciousness were numb a lot, and he couldn't react for a while. Only the princess Feng, because of the shyness of women's instincts, hurriedly put the torn cotton jacket back on her body.

Li Bei waved his hand, and several jailers ran in behind him, some carrying basins, some carrying buckets, and some people carrying a few clean summer clothes, Li Bei smiled and said: "Your Highness, Niangniang, please take a bath and change your clothes, freshen up and dress up." ”

"You ......, you are ......."

Zhu Qi, the king of Zhou, suddenly came to his senses, took a few steps back, and exclaimed against the wall: "Is the emperor going to kill me?" Is the emperor going to kill my whole family? ”

Li Bei didn't want to step forward but didn't dare, so he was so anxious that he straightened his hand: "Oh, Your Highness, look at what you said, where did you think of this, there is no such thing, it is definitely not what His Highness thinks, you ......, it is better to wash up and change your clothes first." ”

Li Bei also knew the news of Yan Jun's entry into the city, and immediately thought that the prisoners under his care were going to turn over, and he estimated that King Yan would have to see the emperor first as soon as he entered Beijing, so he hurriedly took the first step and wanted to show favor to King Zhou first. Unexpectedly, King Zhou was like a frightened bird, but he scared King Zhou.

At this moment, there was a noisy sound behind him, Li Bie turned his head to look, and saw a group of soldiers in bright armor and murderous spirit breaking in, Zhou Wang Zhu Peng only said that what he expected was not bad, the emperor was really going to slaughter his whole family, and he couldn't help but hug the princess tightly, trembling all over.

The few sword-wielding soldiers who broke in couldn't help but say, and kicked the jailers aside, they looked at the pair of unkempt and unkempt called Huazi in front of them in shock, and they didn't dare to recognize each other for a while, the leading military man stretched out his hand, and pulled back Li Bei, who was kicked aside by him, and asked sharply: "These two, are they His Royal Highness King Zhou and Niangniang?" ”

Before Li Bei could answer, Zhu Di, who was wearing a winged crown and a vermilion python dragon robe, broke in, and looked at Zhu Qi, both of them were stunned. Zhu Yan never thought that the fourth brother, who should have fled everywhere now, would be like this

Fresh clothes and jade appeared in front of him, although Zhu Di knew that the fifth child was imprisoned here, but he didn't expect that Zhu Di had been an ape Taishan in Yunnan for three years, and after sitting in a well and watching the sky in Jinling for more than half a year, he would actually become this model

Shape.

The brothers of the same mother looked at each other for a long time, Zhu Di's nose was sore, and two lines of tears flowed down, and he said in a trembling voice: "Old five, brother, ......, I saved you!" ”

"Fourth brother! Fourth brother! Zhu Di suddenly understood, he screamed, rushed over and hugged Zhu Di tightly, and cried loudly...
