The bells and drums rang in unison, the ministers congratulated, the three shouts long live, and the sound shook the palace!

Zhu Youyu was dressed in the emperor's robe, sitting proudly on the imperial seat, looking down at the civil and military officials below, and his heart was full of pride, there, there was the second brother who was yin and yang, and the third brother who was unruly, no matter what they thought in their hearts, now they had to bow down at their feet.

They don't want to think of this Chang'an City again, in the future, they will obediently be an idle prince in Chang'an! If you think of your kindness, you will be praised by the world in the future.

When he stood up and was about to give an impassioned speech to the civil and military officials below, the entrance of the main hall was dark, and a huge figure was blocked somewhere.

It's none other than Zhu Wen.

"Rebel! Want to rebel? Zhu Wen held a big knife in his hand, and walked to the throne step by step, with a cruel smile on his face, and with each step, the fat on his face trembled.

"No, no, no....... I'm not...... I didn't ......" Zhu Youyu was frightened, retreated again and again, stumbled under his feet, and fell on top of the imperial seat.

"Rebel, rebel!" At the foot of the stairs, hundreds of civil and military officials roared in unison.

"Kill him, kill him!" Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youzhen stood at the forefront, jumped very high, and was very happy.

Zhu Wen, who was smiling, climbed the steps step by step, and his huge figure completely covered Zhu Youyu, and the big knife in his hand was raised high.

"Father's life!" Zhu Youyu shouted.

"Rebel, die!" The broadsword slashed down with the sound of the wind.

Yes!

Zhu Youyu screamed, his soul was rising, sweating like pulp, and he sat up straight suddenly, only to feel that his face was covered with sweat, and he reached out and touched it, and it was wet with water.

Fortunately, it's a dream, but it's just a dream!

He let out a long breath!

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Sheng Zhonghuai's anxious voice came from his ears, Zhu Youyu opened his eyes a little worried, and looked at Sheng Zhonghuai in front of him holding a teacup in his hand and shaking himself vigorously.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and actually found that there were some tea leaves on his hands, and he couldn't help but be stunned, the water on his face was not his own sweat, but Sheng Zhonghuai took the residual tea in the teacup and splashed it on his face.

"Zhong Huai, what is this for?" Zhu Youyu was stunned.

Even if he was greedy for a cup at noon and drank too much wine, Sheng Zhonghuai would not be so annoyed and angry, so he poured himself with residual tea!

"Your Highness, the matter is tightly arguing, please forgive me for being rude." Sheng Zhonghuai threw the teacup on the table and said, "Dai Chaochao sent an emergency military report." ”

Seeing Sheng Zhonghuai's appearance, a bad feeling arose, if it was a happy event, how could Sheng Zhonghuai be like this, and he was so anxious to use cold tea to wake himself up? Doing so is naturally bad news.

"How?" The drowsiness and the urge to drink disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"The acting commander was defeated, the 50,000-strong army was annihilated, and the acting commander fled back to Xiangyang almost alone." Sheng Zhonghuai said.

Zhu Youyu jumped up, looked at Sheng Zhonghuai in horror, and said loudly: "How is it possible? How is this possible? How could the Jingnan army defeat his father-in-law's army of 50,000 guns? How could it be possible to let his army be wiped out? ”

"The Jingnan Army is naturally impossible, but what if you add the soldiers and horses of the Three Highnesses!" Sheng Zhonghuai said word by word.

Zhu Youyu's face turned pale.

"What did you say?"

"Come in and tell your Highness personally!" Sheng Zhonghuai beckoned outside.

A captain strode in from outside the door, and when he saw Zhu Youyu, before he could speak, his voice was already choked: "Your Highness, the Gon Navy is over, it's over." ”

"Substitute encouragement, what's going on?" Zhu Youyu asked sharply. Dai Mian is one of the personal guard leaders around Dai Chao, and Zhu Youyu is naturally familiar with it.

"Your Highness, ten days ago, the acting marshal led a large army into Jiangling Mansion, and the Jingnan army fought under the city of Jiangling Mansion, and after a fierce battle for half a day, the acting marshal contained the main force of the Jingnan army in the northern city, and the two generals He Zhang and Cai Quan launched an attack from the east and west city walls, and successfully entered the city." When Dai Mian said this, he actually cried loudly: "But who knows, at this time, the soldiers and horses of Tian Guofeng, the general under the command of His Royal Highness, suddenly arrived, and launched a fierce attack on us from the rear, our soldiers and the Jingnan army have been fighting for a long time, and they have long been exhausted, and they were attacked by Tian Guofeng and the Jingnan army, and they all collapsed suddenly, and the two generals He Cai in the city were trapped in the city and could not be withdrawn. ”

"What happened?"

"When Dai Chao fled with us all the way to Dangyang, there were only more than 1,000 people left around him. Behind him, Tian Guofeng was in hot pursuit, and the acting commander sent me to bring a few horses to rush back day and night to report to His Highness, and let His Highness be careful. Dai Mian said: "I broke up with Dai Shuai in Dangyang, and I don't know what happened later." ”

Zhu Youyu slammed his fist on the case, and the good case was torn apart in an instant. With a punch that smashed the table apart, Zhu Youyu strode out.

"Where is Your Highness going?" Sheng Zhonghuai grabbed him.

"I want to enter the palace, Zhu Youzhen is bold and kills friendly soldiers, isn't this kind of behavior equivalent to rebellion?" Zhu Youyu shouted. "I want to ask Your Majesty to issue an order and allow me to lead the forbidden army to crusade against him!"

"Your Highness not!" Sheng Zhonghuai yanked Zhu Youyu, "How can this matter be so simple?" Even if this matter has to be reported to His Majesty, His Highness should make some preparations first! ”

Zhu Youyu was stunned for a moment, turned around, and looked at Sheng Zhonghuai: "I want to meet my father, Zhu Youzhen, what else do I need to prepare, isn't it enough for me to bring a substitute?" ”

"Your Highness, something has happened, at this time we need to be calm, think clearly about the cause and effect, and we must not act rashly, otherwise, something bad will happen!" Sheng Zhonghuai's face was burning.

Zhu Youyu is good at martial arts, and for other things, he has always relied on Sheng Zhonghuai, and when he saw Sheng Zhonghuai's appearance, he couldn't help but be stunned: "What does Zhonghuai mean by this?" ”

Sheng Zhonghuai said: "I asked Dai Mian, he rushed back day and night, and he broke up with Dai Shuai when he was in the sun, so we have at least three to five more days, and the news will not be transmitted back to Chang'an in a short time." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Your Highness, think about it, how strangely the acting marshal was defeated in this battle, how ingenious the timing of Tian Guofeng's insertion into the battlefield to attack the acting marshal was, it was precisely the inextricable battle between the acting marshal and the Jingnan army, and it was precisely after He Zhang and Cai Quan broke through the city and fell into the street battle in the city. You are fighting an old war, and what does it mean that you have grasped the time so well? ”

"It shows that they have been colluding for a long time." Zhu Youyu suddenly realized: "This battle was fundamentally designed, and He Zhang and Cai Quan attacked the city on their own purpose, that is, they wanted to trap these two armies in the city and not withdraw in time, and then break them individually." ”

Sheng Zhonghuai nodded and said, "That's right." Your Highness, I'm afraid that the Third Highness has already recovered that Jingnan Bai Minzhong, and specially set up this trap, waiting for the acting marshal to drill into it. ”

"So what? Would my father sit back and watch such a fratricidal thing happen and ignore it? Zhu Youyu said angrily.

"Your Highness, think about it carefully, why did Your Majesty transfer you back to take charge of the forbidden army, but then transfer the acting marshal away?" Sheng Zhonghuai said.

Zhu Youyu was speechless.

"Your Majesty, this is to divide and rule, I am afraid that the acting marshal will be with you in Chang'an, and the same is true for dealing with the three highnesses, let Jingxiang be in Beijing and the three highnesses outside." Sheng Zhonghuai said vigorously: "Your Majesty has already put you and the Third Highness in the same position, just to sit and watch the two Highnesses compete with each other, to see who is more powerful." ”

"And now?" Zhu Youyu slowly came back to his senses.

"Your Highness, now the Third Highness has won a great victory." Sheng Zhonghuai's pupils contracted: "We made a mistake, we never thought that His Royal Highness would be so heartbroken, and would do such a thing that hurts relatives and enemies are happy." Think about it, once His Majesty learns that the 50,000-strong army of the acting commander has been wiped out, most of Shannan Dongdao and Jingnan have all fallen into the hands of the Three Highnesses, plus Eyue, Huainan, Wuding, Xuanwu, and Tianping, all of whom are supporters of the territory of the Three Highnesses, what will he do? ”

Zhu Youyu's legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground.

"Your Highness, if I were Your Majesty, at this time, I would only be wrong, not only would I not pursue the perverse actions of the Third Highness, but I would deliberately envelop the Third Highness, after all, the strength of the Third Highness at this moment has far surpassed Your Highness. I can't say that I will take you down the heart of His Royal Highness Yi'an in one fell swoop, and Jing Xiang will never be idle, and will definitely take this opportunity to suggest that His Majesty set up His Royal Highness as the storage position, once this is the case, Your Highness, there will be no possibility of turning over. ”

Zhu Youyu was dripping down in a cold sweat: "Zhong Huai, then you say, what are we going to do now?" ”

Sheng Zhonghuai took a deep breath, "Seeing Your Majesty is naturally going to meet, but you have to make arrangements, at this moment Chang'an doesn't know the news, then we have enough time to complete the arrangement, as long as we control Chang'an and control His Majesty the Emperor, then, the next thing is Your Highness, you have the final say." ”

Zhu Youyu gasped: "You, are you asking me to launch a coup d'état?" ”

"Your Highness can go to see Your Majesty, if Your Majesty is angry and pursues the rebellion of the Third Highness, then we will naturally push the boat down the river and don't have to do anything, but once Your Majesty is as I said above, what else do you have to hesitate about, Your Highness? Fight or stand still! Sheng Zhonghuai said coldly: "A person like me can still go away and don't look for the owner, but Your Highness, are you really ready to die alone in the high-walled compound in the future?" ”

"Of course it can't be, so, I'd better be dead!" Zhu Youyu said angrily.

"Then what else is there to say!" Sheng Zhonghuai said: "Your Highness, prepare!" ”
