The three brothers of Zhu Gaochi returned to their hearts like arrows, traveled day and night, and finally arrived in Beiping in mid-June.

Song Zhong, who was stationed outside the city, was taken aback when he saw Shizi and the others returning. Although the command ability of the war is not comparable to that of the King of Yan, in terms of politics and struggle, Song Zhong, who was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is quite experienced.

King Yan only has three sons, all of whom are sons-in-law, and they are held in their hands, what a hostage! Why did you put it back?

If people are put back, what other way can they control King Yan?

Unlike Zhang Yu and Xie Gui, Song Zhong has always been suspicious of King Yan's madness, and Jin Yiwei's work experience tells him that there are many doubts in this matter, in case King Yan is really pretending to be crazy, the plan must be big!

It's a pity that Zhang Yu Xie Gui didn't listen to him, and Storm Zhao didn't like his last job, and even looked down on Song Zhong himself, who made Jinyiwei's reputation in the Hongwu Dynasty really bad?

In this case, even if Song Zhong has thousands of mouths and thousands of ideas, there is nothing he can do. Yu Yao and others could only be ordered to lead troops to patrol day and night to prevent and eliminate all potential dangers.

As everyone knows, the danger is hidden in the border army and Yanshan guards under Yu Yao.

Yang Duo's tandem work in the army was very successful, and Kaipingwei commanded Xu Zhong to also stand on the side of King Yan, as long as the city issued an order, everyone would definitely move with the order, even if there were only a few thousand people involved in the operation, once the "bombing-battalion" was successful, the army of 30,000 would collapse in an instant.

Inside and outside the city, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who pretended to be crazy, Zhang Yu, the political envoy of Beiping, and Xie Gui, the commander of the capital, who were kept in the dark, and Song Zhong, the governor of the capital who was panicked, were engaged in a contest between each other in the open and in the dark, and the seemingly calm situation would soon be broken by the return of Zhu Gaochi and others.

Emperor Jianwen personally sent the trump card back to Zhu Di, which was equivalent to blowing the horn of the army for King Yan.

The three sons returned to his side, and King Yan no longer had any worries.

Even if Emperor Jianwen said a hundred words of "regret not listening to Huizu's words", it would be in vain.

The team passed through the camp of Song Zhong's army, looking at the tents and the wooden fences piled together, and the three Zhu Gaochi brothers were all in their hearts.

Meng had come out of the prince's chariot and rode through the ranks on horseback, and when he saw several military attachés in scarlet robes and green robes coming out of the barracks, his fingers couldn't help but tighten, and the stick wound on his back that had healed was aching faintly.

Song Zhong, Yu Yao.

lowered his eyes, hiding the hatred and murderous aura boiling in the depths of his eyes.

These two people had wanted his life.

He swore in the ice and snow that as long as he could live, he would get it back at all!

What about grasshoppers shaking trees? As long as he, a little shrimp, steps on a big ship that is stable enough and will sail away, the two in front of him will eventually become powder that can be easily crushed.

You don't have to do it yourself, you just need to take advantage of it.

He is very familiar with this way of working.

Meng sneered, and Shen Xuan rode past him, "Get off the horse, I've seen Song Dudu." ”

A faint sentence, I can't hear too much emotion□ color. Meng raised his head, looked at Shen Xuan's jade-like face, looked at those dark eyes, and bent the corners of his mouth.

Shen Qianhu is the same as him, holding grudges.

Song Zhong saluted the three brothers of the prince, and when he saw Shen Xuan standing behind the three of them, his eyes were a little cold. As for Meng, who was following Shen Xuan, he was directly ignored.

Such a small role, Song Dudu has long forgotten about it. But what happened in the future taught him that small roles can make a big difference, and they can also kill people.

"The three orphan brothers are worried about their father and are in a hurry to enter the city, and please forgive the governor for their rudeness."

"Don't dare, the son of the world is pure and filial, and the official admires it."

only praised the prince, and did not raise the king of Yangjun and Zhu Gaosui, which was obviously suspected of provoking.

Zhu Gao smiled innocently and didn't speak.

Compared with the officials in Nanjing, Song Zhong's provocative tactics are not enough.

Zhu Gaochi responded to all changes with the same and asked the eunuchs to help him up, and Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui were not as good as him.

In Nanjing, they had to swallow their anger and return to their own territory, and then let people kick their noses in the face, which is not their style.

However, Song Zhong is the governor of Yipin, and he can't move easily, as for the others......

Zhu Gaoxu rode on the horse, the horse snorted, and Yu Yao, who was standing on the side, looked at this horse with a pitch-black body and only diamond-shaped white spots on his forehead, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked like the favorite mount of Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei.

Thinking about it in his heart, his face unconsciously brought out surprise, but he was just seen by Zhu Gaoxu, and without saying a word, he threw a whip over. Yu Yao instinctively dodged for a while, but was still swept by the horsewhip on the side of his face, and after the numbness, there was a hot pain, and his palms were covered with bright red.

"You!"

"How's Lonely?" Zhu Gaoxu stood on the horse's back, put away the horsewhip, and tapped his palm, "Lone just saw a fly and gave a whip, what is Commander Yu's dissatisfaction?" ”

Yu Yao was furious and pressed his hand on the knife at his waist, but was stopped by Song Zhong.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his eyebrows, "What, Song Dudu has something to say?" ”

"The king of the county, you have to be forgiving and forgiving."

No matter what happens to King Yan's family in the future, now Zhu Gaoxu is the king of the county, a royal nobleman, and Yu Yao, a commander, dares to draw a knife against the king of the county, and the crime is not small.

"Song Dudu's words, Lone doesn't understand, when did Lone stop forgiving people?" Zhu Gaoxu flicked the whip again, not impartial, and whipped - on the other side of Yu Yao's face, very symmetrical, "Lone is just those flies that are tired of buzzing on weekdays, and when they see it, they want to whip a few whips, but Song Dudu understands?" ”

Song Zhong gritted his teeth, "This official understands." ”

As he spoke, he pressed Yu Yao's shoulders and forced him to his knees, "Make amends to the king of the county!" ”

Yu Yao's face was bright red, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"Ha Lu Ha ......"

Looking at Song Zhong and Yu Yao, who were full of iron-clad faces, Zhu Gaochu laughed wantonly, and Zhu Gaosui also learned to shake the whip twice, which did not hurt anyone, but only forced Song Zhong's officers to take two steps back.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled even more openly.

The eyes are contemptuous, just like to say, Xiao Wang is arrogant, what can you do with me?

"Second brother, third brother, it's not too early."

Zhu Gaochi's voice sounded in front of him, and the generous and benevolent prince only reminded his two younger brothers to pay attention to the time, and never mentioned that Zhu Gaochu commanded the whip to the second grade, as if he didn't see the two bloody wounds on Yu Yao's face at all.

When the prince spoke, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui naturally stopped entanglement, as Song Zhong said, spared Yu Yao this time.

Meng walked in the team, his eyes swept over Song Zhong and Yu Yao, although he didn't do it himself, he could be regarded as a bad breath.

When the group entered the city, Song Zhong suddenly shouted, "Not good! Miscalculated! ”

"Governor?" Yu Yao covered his wounds, and someone under his command immediately went to the doctor in the army, "What's wrong?" ”

"The King of Gaoyang County must have deliberately provoked us and others, so that I and others could not stop the guards from entering the city!" Song Zhong's face became more and more ugly, "Our army is stationed outside the city, Xie commands and controls the nine gates of Beiping, King Yan is trapped in the city, and the palace guards are limited, like a turtle in an urn." There are 800 guards accompanying the prince of Yan Wang, and if he gets in touch with the various armies under the command of King Yan, it will be dangerous! ”

"Is the Governor overly worried?" Yu Yao said, "But there are only 800 people, what can be done?" And the governor is just guessing, it is better to send someone to the guards to inquire first, and then you can find out. ”

"That's all it can be."

Song Zhong nodded, his face never improved.

There was a meal in the city, but King Yan did not haunt the streets of the market as in the past, contributing to the income generation of the people.

According to the news from the palace, Yan Wang's condition worsened, in addition to intermittent episodes of mental illness, he also suddenly lost half of his body, and he couldn't stand up while lying on the bed.

After the three brothers Zhu Gaochi returned to the palace, they didn't care about washing off the dust of their bodies, walked quickly through the carrier, waited for the hall, and came to the palace where King Yan was recuperating. ”

King Yan, who was lying on the bed and pretending to be sick, was very happy, and his son came back from Nanjing with all his beard and tail! I just wanted to get up from bed and say, "My father and son can be reunited, it is God's help!" ”

As a result, the three brothers of Zhu Gaochi knelt on the ground and howled, almost making King Yan angry, Lao Tzu is not dead yet! What a howl!

So, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who was half-paralyzed, got up suddenly, picked up everything he could catch at hand, regardless of the pillow or the incense burner, and threw it at his son.

Unfilial things, curse Lao Tzu one by one, forget it!

"Father!"

Zhu Gaochi moved slowly, and was slapped on his face by the flying pillow, fortunately it was not a porcelain pillow, otherwise his face would definitely bloom.

Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui moved one step faster, dodging the first wave of attacks, seeing that their father began to copy large documents, standing barefoot on the ground, holding up the six screens, Zhu Gaochi was still kneeling on the ground stupidly, the two didn't think so much, they ran back again, one person and one arm helped Zhu Gaochi up, and if he didn't run, he would die!

The three brothers ran in front, King Yan chased behind with a screen, and the father and son played eagles and shot chickens in the room.

The door was closed, and the guards outside the door heard the movement and were about to enter, but they were stopped by the Daoyan monk who came from under the corridor. The big monk with gray eyebrows twisted the Buddha beads and announced the Buddha name, "This is the fate of the father and son brothers of the heavenly family, and it should not be disturbed." ”

After speaking, he looked at Shen Xuan, and then at Meng, "The two donors also have a great opportunity." ”

Shen Xuan didn't speak, and returned a salute to Dao Yan.

Meng rolled his eyes, Monk Daoyan is a magical figure, the ancients who are suspected of being time-travelers in later generations, this one is on the list for the second time, and the number of votes is second only to Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty.

However, after seeing the real person several times, Meng was sure that this person must be a native of the Ming Dynasty. It's just that the ideals and pursuits are more high-end and high-end than ordinary people, and other monks chant scriptures all day long, and he thinks about rebellion all day long...... Nothing more.

"Donor," Monk Daoyan has passed the age of the sixtieth year, and he looks kind and kind, "The poor monk does not speak. It's all for the future. ”

Meng was noncommittal, Monk Daoyan pronounced another Buddha call, stood outside the door, and waited until the movement in the room was a little quieter, then pushed open the door and walked in.

"Qianhu, what do you mean by this, the great monk?" Meng looked at the closed door and couldn't help but ask.

Shen Xuan glanced at him quietly, turned his head, and didn't speak.

Meng scratched his chin and looked up at the sky, the ancients probably liked this, leaving half of the speech, and knowing the answer without telling you, just two words, you guess.

Half an hour later, the door opened again, and Dao Yan came out of it and smiled at Shen Xuan and Meng, which was very meaningful.

Meng began to have sour teeth, what kind of mystery did this great monk play?

Zhu Gaochi's three brothers then walked out, Zhu Gaochi was covered in incense burner ashes, Zhu Gaochu had a blue eye socket, and Zhu Gaosui had a big bag swollen on his head.

Although he looked embarrassed, he had a dreamy smile on his face. Obviously, after King Yan cleaned up his son, he gave the three of them sweet dates.

"Meng Baihu, my father said that from today on, you don't need to go back to the border, stay in the palace to guard, and still serve as a hundred households."

It was Zhu Gaochi who spoke, Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui were reminiscing about the sweet dates given by King Yan, and now someone told them that the moon was square, and neither of them would object.

"Humble Xie Shizi, Xie Gaoyang County King, Xie Third Prince!"

"Get up, my father wants to see you and Meng Baihu." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile, "Later, Gu still wants to hear you tell the story of that old man." ”

"Humble obedience."

"Okay, I'm going to see my mother, the second brother, the third brother, and I'm going to help my brother."

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's words, Meng looked up in surprise, but saw that Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui had no objections, the two of them supported Zhu Gaochi, followed by several eunuch palace people, and walked to the corridor on the left.

Is the sun coming out of the west?

The words brother and brother Gong will appear in these three brothers?

"Shen Qianhu, Meng Baihu, the prince is invited."

Sanbao, who was dressed in a blue group-collar sunflower shirt, walked out of the room, compared to the last time they met, Sanbao had not changed much, but his attitude towards Shen Xuan and Meng was obviously much kinder.

Meng took a deep breath and really made the right bet.

As long as the three of them come back from Nanjing, even if it is just an inconspicuous guard, it will definitely be a rising tide.

The spilled incense burner and other objects had been cleaned up by the eunuchs and palace people, and King Yan sat on the top, his face ruddy, and he seemed to be much fatter than a month ago. Meng bowed his head, delusion, it must be an illusion!

"I've seen the prince in my humble manner!"

"Get up."

King Yan motioned that the two of them didn't need to be polite, and asked, "What's the matter with Ni Liang?" ”

"Back to the prince, Ni Liang wanted to falsely accuse the prince of lawlessness, so he humbly asked the prince of the county and arrested him."

Bang!

King Yan smashed his fist on the table, and the tiger's eyes showed a fierce light, "Okay, what a Ni forgive!" ”

Shen Xuan took out the detailed list of Ni Liang's confessions from his arms, in addition to the people from the Yanwang Mansion in the capital, Shi Gecheng, the head of the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping, Lu Zhen, the commander, and even the professor of the palace who taught the prince.

Ge Cheng and Lu Zhen had already been on King Yan's blacklist, but Professor Wangfu was really unexpected.

"It's not easy to treat them alone, but they are so rewarded!"

King Yan's fingers closed little by little, clenching Ni Liang's confession tightly and crumpling it into a ball.

"The prince is angry."

"How can Lone calm his anger, how can he calm his anger?!"

The three sons came back safely from the capital, and their closeness to each other was not fake, and King Yan was very happy. I didn't want to be splashed with a scoop of cold water right away, and I learned that I was placed around me - a bunch of fine works, even the guards selected for my son are the same!

From clear skies to dark clouds, lightning and thunder, but in the blink of an eye.

King Yan put away his angry expression and tapped his fingers on the table.

"Shen Xuan."

"Inferior!"

"You are the commander of the Yanshan guard, and the guards brought back from the capital are all under your command to protect the palace!"

"Obedience!"

"Meng."

"Humble."

"You are still a hundred households, and you belong to the Yanshan guard."

"Humble obedience!"

"Three guarantees."

"The slave is here."

"Together with Meng Baihu, bring a few people," King Yan threw the confession in his hand to Sanbao, "Arrest all of them!" ”

"The slave obeys."

"As for Ni Liang," King Yan smiled coldly, "let someone skin him!" ”

"Yes!"

Meng lay on the ground, listening to the words spoken by King Yan at the end of the day, a cold feeling rose from his spine, and he quickly jumped to his limbs.

He once again clearly realized that the person in front of him was King Yan, the Yongle Emperor who was decisive in history and made Meng Yuan and all the states frightened!

The little pride that had just risen was quickly crushed.

When doing things under Zhu Di, you must be cautious and never your tail.

Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

Prudent people can live a long time.

That night, in order to celebrate the safe return of the three princes, the palace set up a family banquet.

While the Yan family raised their glasses to celebrate, a team of guards, led by the eunuch carrying the lantern, kicked open the door of the palace governor Shi He's room. When Changshi Gecheng was arrested, he searched under his pillow and found a secret letter written to Zhang Hao, the political envoy of Beiping, with only a short sentence on the letter; "King Yan is fine, don't slack off."

Yu Liang, the general banner who was ordered to arrest people, changed his face greatly, and immediately sent someone to report to King Yan.

At that time, Professor Wang Fu had already cast his money in the house, and his family had thrown himself into a well. Meng picked up the last words he left on the table, and denounced King Yan for his ill-intentioned and disloyal subordinates.

"Hundred households, how to deal with it?"

Meng knew very well that a piece of paper and a few lines of words would determine the fate of a clan. Even if it won't now, it will be the same when King Yan ascends the throne.

"Hundred?"

"Submit it to the prince."

Meng handed the paper to the eunuchs who were traveling with him, and since he had chosen a different path, he had to be prepared to suffer the consequences.

He admired the uprightness of the professor and his courage to die generously, but his different positions doomed him to put away the pity in his heart.

If you decide, you can't regret it.

He is not the only one who has seen this piece of paper, and if he wants to hide it, he will definitely not be able to hide it.

Once you will succeed, since you have decided to follow King Yan on the road of Jingnan and become a thief, some things will be unavoidable.

Shi Gecheng, the head of the palace, was arrested, the professor's family committed suicide, and more than 30 people including eunuchs, palace people, guards and subordinate officials were arrested together.

Lu Zhen, the commander of the Yanshan guard, did not know where to go, and after Meng met with Zhou Rong, he quickly realized that it was not good, and Sanbao personally reported to King Yan, but he was still a step late. It turned out that a female official beside the princess was also meticulous, and secretly passed the news to Lu Zhen, Lu Zhen was not too righteous, and when he saw the palace guards start to act, he didn't think about giving Ge Cheng and the others a wake-up call, stunned the two guards who were staring at him, and slipped out of the palace with the waist card that had been prepared for a long time.

Lu Zhen left the house and went straight to the Yamen of the political envoy of Beiping, asking to see the political envoy Zhang Yu.

The news that King Yan pretended to be crazy naturally couldn't be hidden, but the court had not yet ordered, Zhang Yu Xie Gui couldn't do anything to the prince of the palace, so he could only send a letter to the capital quickly, and at the same time contact Song Zhong outside the city, send troops into the city, and besiege the palace with four gates such as wooden fences and end ceremonies.

The reason why King Yan pretended to be crazy was to buy time, build weapons, and prepare grain. Now that the hundred secrets are sparse, Zhang Xin and Xie Gui have taken the lead, and there is no time to dispatch the army, and the situation is suddenly extremely dangerous.

The atmosphere is already tense, and now it's a matter of who is faster and whose heart is more ruthless!

In the palace, King Yan discussed countermeasures with Daoyan, and Meng and other guards stood guard outside the door.

At this time, the palace was already brightly lit, and every step was a post.

The atmosphere of slaughter filled the air, almost suffocating.

Beiping commanded the envoy department, Xie Gui was anxiously waiting for the capital's instructions, and Zhang Xin sat in the wing, silent.

Zhang Xin has a personal relationship with King Yan and is also appreciated by King Yan, but now that King Yan is in danger, he is also very conflicted.

Should we pursue righteousness and do things for the court, or ......

Zhang Xin was undecided, and he could only make a decision when he waited for the will of the capital to be issued.

History has taken a slight turn here, the guard Ni Liang failed to report the lawlessness of the prince of Yan, and the king of Yan did not send his subordinate officials and Deng Yong of the hundred households into Beijing, and the court had no excuse to directly order the arrest of King Yan, so he could only wait for Zhang Yu's performance to arrive.

After Emperor Jianwen received Zhang Yu's recital, he immediately issued an edict to arrest King Yan and his official subordinates. It's just that after Qi Tai's hands, the edict to arrest King Yan's official family was issued to Zhang Yu and Xie Gui, and King Yan's arrest warrant still fell into Zhang Xin's hands.

Facts have proved that what should come will always come, and the inertia of history is irreversible in the end.
