Chapter 551: Don't panic when the Heaven Shattering Palace changes
Li Mi handed over the final choice to Zhu Changluo, because he wanted Zhu Yijun to see that even if Zhu Changluo was just born from a lowly palace girl who Zhu Yijun slept indiscriminately, he was also a member of his old Zhu family, with the blood of the old Zhu family in his bones, and he would make the same choice as him, and he would become the crown prince recognized by Zhu Yijun!
Sure enough, Zhu Changluo seemed to want to break his heart, and shattered all his emotions for Li Mi, gratitude, dependence, awe, love, everything, all of them remained, only loyalty to his father remained, which is something called blood thicker than water!
No matter how Li Mi treats him, he can't replace his father's position in his heart, this is a congenital decision, no matter how hard he tries the day after tomorrow, he can't change the fact!
The man who crisscrossed the battlefield and refused to fall down with the Daming Dragon Flag on his back knelt in front of the emperor now, his silver filaments stained with blood, revealing the round back of his head, as fragile as a big watermelon!
Zhu Changluo's lower lip was bitten, compared to the blood all over the ground, the trace of blood on his lips was really insignificant, but this trace of blood was the decisive decision that really determined the direction of Daming!
"Smack!"
Half of the flagpole was fixed in mid-air, and the head of the pole was held by a slightly thin and slender hand, which was Zhu Yijun's hand!
The blood on the pole head is slimy, but Zhu Yijun has no disgust, he is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, he rarely touches or even sees blood, but it does not mean that he knows nothing about blood, on the contrary, his hands are stained with far more "blood" than everyone else.
Zhu Changluo let go of the flagpole, knelt down with a puff, and couldn't cry, perhaps feeling ashamed and humiliated for his betrayal of Li Mi, or maybe he was glad that this stick did not fall after all, or maybe it was just because after making this decision, all the good things in his heart were crushed.
Zhu Yijun threw the flagpole in his hand to Suo Changsheng and ordered him: "Go out and kill Zhou Yu." ”
The emperor's trust was originally small, and if he gave this, others would have no more, not to mention that Zhu Yijun had never trusted his courtiers and regarded them as the fetters of his own fate.
Suo Changsheng took the flagpole and went out without saying a word.
Although he didn't salute, although he didn't show too much respect, Zhu Yijun didn't think he was disrespectful, maybe because Suo Changsheng was disrespectful no matter what, he was a person of this era, and Zhu Yijun could feel this, but he couldn't get such feelings from Li Mi.
Fortunately, now that he finally felt it, he said to Li Mi: "Get up, get up." ”
After saying this, his body shook a little, as if Shicai had exhausted his strength, he walked back and sat on the edge of the bed, and Li Mi, who got up at this time, saw that Zhu Yijun's left hand had been holding a short gun!
Choice is the atom of fate, and if you keep choosing, your fate will not break and change, and fate is a choice that determines its direction.
And tonight, the choice of three men decided the fate of the Ming Dynasty.
In order for this era to continue, Li Mi chose true surrender, and in order to change this era, he was willing to let this era change him first.
Zhu Changluo chose Zhu Yijun between Li Mi and Zhu Yijun, and proved to Zhu Yijun that even if he is a by-product of impulsiveness, he is still the blood and blood of the old Zhu family, flowing with the blood and ruthlessness that an emperor should have!
The old Zhu family is from a poor peasant background, they don't have noble blood, they are bloody and ruthless, so it doesn't matter if Concubine Wang Gong is a lowly palace maid, because the old Zhu family is fundamentally different from other imperial families.
If the Qin Dynasty is a dragon, the Han Dynasty is a tiger, the Tang Dynasty is a lion, the Song Dynasty is a stag, and only the Ming Dynasty is a wolf!
Zhu Yijun beckoned to Zhu Changluo like a lone wolf finally acknowledging the status of the blood heir, Zhu Changluo stood up and threw himself into his father's arms, a simple hug, but he had always longed for it in his life, but he had never gotten it.
In their embrace, what made them blend was the blood of Li Mi, the blood of Tian Yi and Lu Jiamao, the blood of the people of the world, hundreds of civil and military officials and thousands of soldiers!
There are no superfluous words, just this one hug is enough.
However, this hug didn't last long, because Suo Changsheng came back, and he still held the half of the flagpole in his hand, and his eyes were a little unsightly.
Zhu Changluo became alert, holding the short spear tightly, staring at Suo Changsheng like a wounded wolf master.
Suo Changsheng just shook his head and sighed, "I can't kill him." ”
Before his words could land, Tayoshi and Sarutobi Sasuke also walked in from outside, followed by the sound of collision after collision.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The sound of the palace gate being hit was like an enemy knocking on the Ming Dynasty's national ding, and the empire had experienced many such impacts, but in the end they all survived.
It's just that every time in the past, it was the impact of the external enemy, and the enemy hit the hard armor of the Ming Dynasty, but this time, the enemy was inside, and it was the heart of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Yijun finally came to his senses, he didn't panic, but asked Chao Tianyi, "How many people?" Who? ”
Tian Yi ignored the bleeding wounds on his body, and replied to Zhu Yijun: "Almost all the Tengxiang left guards have betrayed...... The people with knives and thousands of households who received the tokens were all Zhou Yu's people...... As for whether the 3,000 battalions, the 5th military battalion, and the Shenji battalion were outside to respond, the slaves couldn't know ......."
The guarding of the Ming Imperial City was usually carried out by the emperor's direct troops, that is, the pro-army, such as Jin Wuwei and Yu Linwei and the standard-bearer, who were not subordinate to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but were independent troops.
In the imperial city, one person each of the governors and thousands of households are on duty every day, and they receive the No. 17 token of the Shenzi in the interior and the sergeants of each gate.
These people are the emperor's most trusted guards, but I didn't expect to let Zhou Yu erode in!
"Master, let's ......" Tian Yi saw that Zhu Yijun didn't speak, and immediately put forward his own suggestion, but Zhu Yijun interrupted him.
He said to Li Mi: "Can you go out and report the news?" ”
Li Mi looked at Sarufei Sasuke, the latter nodded, Zhu Yijun stood up, took out a small seal, and said to Sasuke: "Out of the palace, gather the Shenji Battalion and the Five Thousand Battalion, and the rest of the people should not be alarmed." ”
Zhu Yijun is very sensible, and he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, if the palace change spreads, it will inevitably create panic and shake the country's foundation, which is greater than the loss of how many sergeants are killed.
Even at such a critical moment, he can still think about it so long-term, how can it be as mediocre as the future generations?
Sarufei Sasuke took the seal and was about to leave, but Tian Yi said, "I'll go with you, I'm familiar with the palace." ”
Tian Yi is also a multi-minded person, the lives of the emperor and others are all pinched in the assistant of Ape Feizuo, a Japanese slave, in the end, he can't be trusted.
Zhu Yijun also nodded, and the two walked out of the curtain, only to hear a loud noise, tiles and planks falling one after another, this is Qixiang Palace, but it is not an ordinary house, and it takes the ability to break the roof.
"Go out and hold the palace gate." Zhu Yijun ordered Lu Jiamao and Suo Changsheng again, and the two also walked out according to their words.
Zhu Changluo also calmed down at this time, and said to Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, why didn't Shicai let Tian Yi send a signal to warn the palaces?" ”
Zhu Changluo's worries are not unreasonable, if these rebels go crazy and burn everywhere in the inner palace, what if they are good?
Zhu Yijun shook his head and smiled, and said to Zhu Changluo: "Yes, you can still ask questions at this time." ”
Then he glanced at Li Mi: "Li Mi, you are Pei'er's teacher, you tell him why I didn't warn the palaces." ”
Li Mi actually had an insight into his heart for a long time, and pretended to groan, and then explained: "The intention of the saint is to block the news, and will never let the palace change spread to the people, so the tighter it is, the smaller the movement, the better, the emperor is in the Qixiang Palace, how can Zhou Yu be interested in other people." ”
Zhu Yijun also nodded with satisfaction, he and Li Mi knew very well in their hearts that Zhou Yu would not be able to kill the emperor, at most he just wanted to hold the emperor hostage and do some boring tricks such as blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
Zhu Changluo was also stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "Zhou Tongzheng Divine Beast Holy Grace Emperor's Favor, why do you want to do this?" ”
This answer may only be clear to Li Mi and Zhu Yijun, and this is also Zhu Yijun's choice, either Li Mi or Zhou Yu.
And Zhou Yu also has two choices, either let Li Mi boil the frog in warm water, gradually encroach, and finally withdraw from the court, or quickly cut through the mess and fight a big one!
Zhu Yijun knew this very well, and had the heart to teach Zhu Changluo, looked at Li Mi, and then said to Zhu Changluo: "People have ambitions, some ambitions can be used, used well, beneficial to the country and the people, and not used well, is the current situation, you have to remember this, you will be able to use it in the future." ”
As soon as Zhu Yijun said this, the meaning is self-evident, this is teaching by word and deed, Zhu Changluo is not a fool, he understands.
Zhu Yijun saw his expression, knew that he had understood, and was also very satisfied, and only then did he say to Concubine Wang Gong, who was hiding aside: "Concubine Gong, I have wronged you, but you have to believe that if I can't even be responsible for a woman, how can I be responsible for the huge empire?" ”
Concubine Wang Gong shook her head and said with tears in her eyes: "After so many years...... It's worth it......"
This scene is also a rare warmth in the chaos, but Li Mi didn't have the heart to feel it, and said to Zhu Yijun: "I'm afraid the palace gate can't stand it, otherwise Changsheng and Lu Lao will definitely come back......"
Zhu Yijun stood up and walked aside, it was a pair of armor and swords, it was some years old, and it looked like a souvenir.
Zhu Yijun handed the knife to Li Mi, personally put on the armor for Zhu Changluo, and then walked towards the two.
"This is Emperor Yingzong's soldiers, I have always stayed, always be vigilant, don't lose the world, right now, whether you can hold this country or not, it depends on you."
Zhu Changluo's blood was boiling, but Li Mi was silent, picked up the two flagpoles on the ground, but handed the treasure knife to Zhu Changluo, nodded to Zhu Yijun, and went to the palace gate.
The palace gate was still slammed open!
Lu Jiamao and Suo Changsheng were still resisting, but the soldiers outside crashed in as if they were crazy, and they didn't know what medicine Zhou Yu and Zhang Bao of Taiping Dao gave them!
Li Mi said to Zhu Changluo: "Don't follow, the emperor and Concubine Gong are up to you!" ”
Zhu Changluo trembled with fright, even if the treasure knife was indestructible, even if the treasure armor was invulnerable, he couldn't settle down, this was also human instinct, but he nodded resolutely.
One can be cowardly, but never back down!
Li Mi walked as fast as the wind, his body was lowered, like a hunting leopard, his gray hair was spilling blood, and the flagpole of his left hand was on his chest, and when he crashed into the soldier, the jagged tip slammed into the soldier's chain mail and pushed it back!
Li Mi didn't stop, he bumped into a person to the right, sat on that person, and half of the flagpole in his right hand slammed into his throat!
Blood spurted out, splashing Li Mi's face all over his body, and he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were blood-red!
Silver Shura! See!
