After the generals withdrew, Zhu Di discussed with Dao Yan for a while before returning to the main hall. At this time, Zhu Di has not recovered from the excitement just now, just now the generals, the ministers called "long live" scene, so that he felt dizzy for a moment, although he raised the army to be the emperor, but the drill just now, but Zhu Di has endless aftertaste, he can't help but imagine that he is sitting on the Fengtian Hall of the Beijing Division, the ministers bow their heads, and the mountain shouts long live......

After a long time, Zhu Di shook his head, the rebellion has not yet succeeded, so he can't be too proud. He looked at the time and said to Ma Sanbao beside him: "Please invite the envoys of the imperial court, this king is here to receive them." ”

Interview? Ma Sanbao was stunned for a moment, and then went out. After a while, the envoy of the imperial court, Zuo Shilang, entered first with the holy decree in his hand, followed by Princess Ning Guo and Xu Zengshou.

Seeing Zhu Di sitting still, Storm Zhao shouted: "The emperor has a decree, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, quickly accepts the decree!" ”

Zhu Di looked at Storm Zhao, but he sat still and didn't speak.

Violent Zhao said angrily: "The emperor has a decree, where is Zhu Di, the king of Yan?" Don't hurry up! ”

Princess Ningguo in the back looked at King Yan, then at Tyrant Zhao, and said in a low voice: "Tyranny Lang, King Yan has a misunderstanding of the court in his heart, and he will be persuaded by the palace." ”

Before Tyrant Zhao could speak, King Yan stood up and shouted happily: "Second sister, you are here, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if it's always good?" ”

Princess Ningguo froze for a moment, haven't seen you for a long time? Didn't you meet before the meeting? Oh, at that time, Tyrant Zhao was still under house arrest, so he shouldn't have known about it. Thinking of this, Lianbu moved lightly, and Shi Li said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and the fourth brother has also been cleared." ”

"There's no way, the traitors in the court are in charge, violating the ancestral system of Emperor Gao, now the eldest brother and the second brother are gone, the third brother is seriously ill, and the fourth brother has to take on this responsibility. The emperor and the kings are of the same blood as Emperor Gao, how can they be so ruthless? It must be a traitor who grabs power and harms the royal family. Therefore, the fourth brother wants to go to Beijing to worship the filial piety tomb, and in front of his father, he will explain the matter clearly, as long as the emperor executes Wang Du, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Fang Xiaoru, Zhuo Jing, and this violent Zhao, the fourth brother is willing to bow down to the head of the crime and let the emperor punish him. Speaking of this, Zhu Di stood up and arched his hand towards Princess Ningguo: "Since the second sister is here, I hope to be able to tell the emperor that the fourth brother has no choice but to tell the emperor, the fourth brother is sincere, and the sun and the moon can be learned!" ”

Princess Ningguo was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know if what Zhu Di said was true or not, so she couldn't help but look back at Storm Zhao. Storm Zhao snorted and raised the holy decree: "Yan Wang Zhu Di still doesn't accept the decree?" ”

Zhu Di sneered: "You are one of the traitorous ministers, you are one of the traitorous ministers, and the emperor is moving the kings inside, this king kneels to the sky and the ground, and kneels to the emperor, how can you kneel like you!" ”

"You," Zhao Zhao was furious, then suppressed his anger, glared at Zhu Di, and said, "King Yan, do you really not kneel?" ”

"Hehe, of course not."

"Okay, in that case, the official will return to the court to hand over the decree and leave." After speaking, Storm Zhao put away the holy decree and turned around to go out. However, when he arrived at the door, he was stopped by the guards. Storm Zhao looked back at Zhu Di and sneered: "Could it be that King Yan wants to kill me here?" Okay, come on! As he spoke, he closed his eyes.

Zhu Di couldn't help but be furious, he really wanted to kill this violent Zhao on the spot, but he tried to hold back his anger, this person can't be killed, at least not now. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ride a tiger difficult, Tyrant Zhao was so resolute was something he didn't expect, if he wanted to rebel, he needed face even more, killing Tyrant Zhao and killing Song Zhong and Xie Gui were completely different, Song Zhong and Xie Gui could also be said to be a last resort, but Tyrant Zhao was an unarmed literati, a messenger of the imperial court, and a high-ranking official of Zheng Sanpin, if he killed him, he would not be able to whitewash himself as a martyr, not a rebellion, and a tyrannical reputation was inevitable.

Xu Zengshou hurriedly grabbed Tyrant Zhao and said in a low voice: "Lord Tyrant, why bother? King Yan just misunderstood for a while, and he didn't mean to deal with you, don't be angry, don't be angry! ”

Princess Ningguo nodded at Xu Zengshou, turned to Zhu Di and said: "Fourth brother, since you insist, the emperor's holy decree sister has also read it, and my sister will tell you what the emperor means, and the emperor said that as long as you suspend the army, you will not be blamed in the past, but you will be transferred to Nanchang; If not, the emperor will expel your clan, depose you as a concubine, and raise troops to quell the rebellion. ”

"Fourth brother, my sister thinks that the emperor has done his best, and the emperor can forgive so many officials and soldiers who died in this month, what else are you not satisfied with? Or if you have any requests, my sister will convey them to the emperor. ”

Zhu Di's face was a little cloudy, he didn't expect Zhu Yunwen to be so lenient, he could write off the rebellion himself, and at that moment, he wanted to agree to the conditions of the imperial court. But when you think about it, it's simply impossible, and since you've embarked on this path, you can't turn back; And even if Zhu Yunwen agrees now, who can guarantee that he will not regret it in the future? At that time, he didn't have military power, wouldn't he have to be slaughtered by others, no, no, Zhu Di shook his head, he couldn't give up!

Thinking of this, Zhu Di smiled and said: "Second sister, you and the emperor have misunderstood me, I am not for personal honor and disgrace, but for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji and the Zhu family, I am inseparable from the traitorous ministers, the fourth brother, I hope that the emperor can depose Wang Du, Huang Zicheng and others, and then punish them for the crime of dividing the royal family; In the end, everything must be restored to the old system of Hongwu, and the kings of the border fortress should be retained, I think all the brothers are very willing to guard the frontier for the emperor, so that the emperor sits in the capital division, the vassal king guards the frontier, and the Ming Dynasty is forever, isn't it beautiful! ”

"As long as the emperor can do this, even if he punishes the fourth brother for the crime of treason, the fourth brother is willing to bow down and admit his guilt. Now that Mongolia has invaded the border, the fourth brother is willing to lead the troops to the north, sweep through the desert north, and reproduce the majestic style of Hongwu! Speaking of this, Zhu Di knelt in front of Princess Ningguo, hugged his fists and said: "Please reply to the emperor with the second sister, Zhu Di is sincere, and I hope that the emperor will allow it, as long as the Zhu family can be forever solid, and the ministers will die, it will be worth it!" Speaking of this, Zhu Di burst into tears and couldn't cry.

Princess Ning Guo was shocked and hurriedly rushed up to help Zhu Di up, but Zhu Di knelt on the ground. Princess Ningguo hurriedly greeted Xu Zengshou and Violent Zhao: "Zengshou, Lord Tyrant, come quickly." ”

Xu Zengshou hurriedly ran forward to pull Zhu Di up, but Zhu Di didn't get up. The three of them were in a stalemate, but Violent Zhao sneered and said, "Since the prince still has the emperor in his heart, then Ben Qincha will announce the decree." As he spoke, Tyranny unfolded the holy decree and said loudly: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: ......"

Zhu Diqi's face was pale, it was an impassioned statement, but he let Tyrant Zhao take advantage of the loophole and took the opportunity to read out the holy decree, and now he is not kneeling, he is not kneeling, he can only freeze there, pretending not to know.

After Tyrant Zhao finished reading it, he put away the holy decree, handed it to Zhu Di, and said, "Lord Wang, please accept the decree." Zhu Di acted as if he hadn't heard it, Princess Ningguo hurriedly took the holy decree, stuffed it into Zhu Di's arms, and said, "Fourth brother, take the decree quickly." ”

Zhu Di smiled, stood up, put the holy decree on the table, and hugged his fists towards Princess Ningguo and said: "Second sister, the fourth brother's thoughts have been said just now, and I hope that the second sister will return to the emperor." As for this holy decree, the fourth brother can't accept it. ”

"Fourth brother!" Princess Ning was about to speak, but saw Zhu Di say in a deep voice: "Someone is coming." ”

"In!"

With Zhu Di's order, several guards rushed in at the door, and the leader was Zhang Fu. He arched his hand and said, "Lord, what do you command?" ”

"Wen Bi, this king sent you to bring a thousand cavalry to escort the imperial envoy to Dezhou, and when you reach a safe place, you will come back."

"Yes, Lord Wang, the last general will take the order!"

Zhu Di picked up the holy decree, stepped down from his seat, and handed it to Princess Ningguo: "I hope that the second sister will bring it back and bring the words of this king to the emperor." In addition, please don't stay near Beiping, this place will soon become a battlefield, Geng Bingwen is about to attack Beiping, the fourth brother can't wait for death, so he can only fight up. Then, Zhu Di wiped his tears and sobbed: "Say goodbye here, I don't know if there is a chance to see you again, second sister take care, the soldiers are in danger, return to Beijing quickly." Speaking of this, Zhu Di snorted, waved his hand, and walked to the back hall.

"Fourth brother," Princess Ningguo was in a hurry, and was about to catch up, but was stopped by Zhang Fu: "Princess, please go back!" ”

"Who are you to dare to stop this princess?" Princess Ningguo was furious.

Zhang Fu lowered his head and made a respectful gesture, but he stood still and did not let go.

Princess Ning Guo was helpless, and when she looked up and saw Zhu Di's figure about to turn the curtain, she had to say loudly: "Fourth brother, don't do stupid things!" What you say, my sister will be word-for-word Emperor Ming, you, you must take care! Speaking of later, Princess Ning Guo also burst into tears and couldn't restrain herself.

Hearing Princess Ningguo's words, Zhu Di's figure paused slightly, and then turned to the back hall and disappeared.

......

In front of Zhengyang Gate, Storm Zhao looked back at the majestic Beiping City, as well as the sparse crowd on the street, and sighed: "King Yan is only for his own selfish desires, but he has set off endless wars, poor Beiping people, thirty years later, they will suffer from military disasters again, it's a pity, a pity, a pity, a hate, alas!" ”

After finishing speaking, he walked away: "This official doesn't need you to wait for the traitor to escort, if you have the courage, you will kill me!" ”

"......" Zhang Fu.
