Chapter 148: Meeting and Laughing and Releasing Suspicions
Zhu Yousong was on the top of the city tower, he could hear it clearly, and when he looked down, although Luoyang City was high, it could be vaguely seen that it was indeed Cao Wenzhao.
Such a character, once seen, is bound to be unforgettable. It's just the young general next to him, Zhu Yousong also vaguely feels a little familiar, but he only thinks it was what he saw at the beginning, and he didn't care.
"Quickly open the city gate and welcome General Cao into the city."
Zhu Yousong led people to drive down the city tower and personally greet the generals who came to take refuge at this critical moment.
The city gate was wide open, Cao Wenzhao dismounted and whipped up, and walked into Luoyang City with his nephew Cao Bianjiao behind him. It was Zhu Yousong, who had a one-sided relationship, but saved his life.
Cao Wenzhao's face was grateful, and he was about to speak, but his nephew Cao Bianjiao's face changed abruptly, he was shocked, and shouted loudly: "It's you?!" ”
Zhu Yousong's eyes were fixed on his favorite general Cao Wenzhao, and he didn't notice the young general behind him.
"It's you!"
The two men were dumbfounded, staring at each other. Cao Bianjiao was in a complicated mood, and the person in front of him was undoubtedly the King of Luoyang Xiaofu. But he turned out to be exactly the same as the little thief he had killed in Maling Mountain.
And Zhu Yousong's exclamation obviously confirmed his conjecture, this person was the original thief, and he had already recognized himself. Cao Bianjiao was stunned on the spot, and he really didn't know how to deal with himself. This man is the benefactor of his family, but he was once his enemy, and he is bound to take revenge, what should I do?
Cao Wenzhao asked suspiciously: "Why does the prince know the little nephew?" ”
Zhu Yousong laughed and said: "It turns out that you are the young general at the beginning, let me say, looking at the world, how many people can be so heroic, and they are really the generals and tigers." ”
Cao Bianjiao showed an incredible look on his face and asked, "You don't blame me?" ”
"At this time and that time, what are your crimes, come, go into the city to speak."
Zhu Yousong led Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao, who was in a complicated mood, into Luoyang City, went straight to his palace, and only after sitting down did he tell everyone about the past.
Everyone in the room, except for Cao Wenzhao and Ma Shiying, all knew that the original lord Zhu Yousong returned home injured and almost died. Especially Zhang Yuanhua, this incident is simply his inner demon, which has always made him deeply guilty.
Now after listening to Zhu Yousong's words, he knew that the person in front of him was the culprit, and he was furious, with a pair of red eyes, glaring at Cao Bianjiao fiercely. The rest of the Fuwang Mansion also had bad eyes.
Cao Bianjiao was in it, only feeling that countless eyes pierced him, he was a man with clear grievances, he was not afraid, and said in front of the half-kneeling hall: "The prince is kind to my family, the grudges of the past, Cao is willing to bear it, it has nothing to do with my uncle, just a life, although the punishment is enough." ”
Zhu Yousong stood up, walked to him and helped him up, and said, "What do you say?" I said it all, at this time and that time, you were the official army who went into the mountains to suppress bandits, and I was my uncle in the cottage, and I was originally a mortal enemy.
Hey, that is, this king's martial arts are not good, otherwise I would have to poke you ten or eight holes. Haha, listen, in the future, Cao Bianjiao will be the people of our Fuwang Mansion, and they are all brothers in life and death. People are willing to come to me at this time, what a thousand years of righteousness, who dares to slack off, I will not spare! ”
After speaking, he turned around and glanced around, and found that Zhang Yuanhua had the most hatred in his eyes, walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said: "The past is over, Yuanhua, you have to let go of your obsession, I haven't blamed you for the original incident." ”
Zhang Yuanhua's eyes were red, he bowed his head, and was silent.
Zhu Yousong personally held Cao Bianjiao's hand, and instructed the left and right to say: "Set up a banquet, and today will be the second and second General Cao to pick up the wind and wash the dust." ”
Cao Bianjiao has mixed feelings in his heart, and the deepest feeling is gratitude and admiration, such a bearing is worthy of the loyalty of our uncle and nephew. He and his uncle glanced at each other, and they both saw the emotion in their eyes.
In fact, Zhu Yousong thought very simply, he was not a prince who grew up in the deep palace since he was a child and focused on himself in everything. Thinking about it from the other party's point of view, Cao Bianjiao really has nothing wrong.
After lunch, Zhu Yousong took Cao Wenzhao and walked around Luoyang City.
"How is it, Wen Zhao, this is all our belongings in Luoyang, what do you think?"
Cao Wenzhao's face never changed, and he said in a deep voice: "It's just a fight!" ”
Zhu Yousong frowned, knowing that he said this, he must have felt not very optimistic. Indeed, with a lonely city, the odds of winning against the entire Ming Dynasty that have not been completely chaotic are slim.
"If something doesn't happen, what can I do?"
Cao Wenzhao stood awe-inspiringly, his eyes were resolute, and he said: "I should fight to the death to protect the prince from the city." ”
Zhu Yousong has a plan in his heart, the fierce general in front of him, who is strong and persistent, may be invincible, but there is no handsome talent to coordinate the overall situation. If an elite army is put in his hands, he can use one enemy and a hundred as the vanguard to kill the enemy, but it is limited to that.
"Putting Lao Cao and Shen Muhong together, it's a perfect match." Although Zhu Yousong thought so in his heart, Shen Muhong was far away overseas, so he could only think about it.
In any case, it is still worth being happy to have a fierce general. Zhu Yousong is unwilling to abandon the city and flee, once he leaves Luoyang, then he is not much different from the Shaanxi thieves, at best he is just the biggest group of thieves.
To keep Luoyang is to keep your royal identity, which is more important than anything else in this era.
Zhu Yousong personally arranged a place for the Cao family's uncle and nephew, and then went home, recruited Lao Shutou, and asked him to hold the invitation card and take the guards to Luoyang City to invite people.
The person invited was nothing more than the wealthy gentry in Luoyang, and these people played a pivotal role in the next battle between themselves and the imperial court.
Zhu Di was able to take away the world with a Beiping, not only because of the 800 guards of Yanwangfu. Of course, at the moment, there is a more important thing to do, that is, to stabilize the hearts of the people in Luoyang.
In Luoyang City, there are many high-ranking officials of Zhishi, and there are some big gentry of Henan Prefecture. The energy under these people's hands should not be underestimated, if they are not of the same mind as themselves in Luoyang City, the fortress is likely to be breached from the inside.
The war was imminent, and after the news of the imperial court meeting reached Luoyang, almost all of these people did the same thing, and they closed their doors and did not come out.
There is an example of King Yan in front, whoever dares to come out to be this bird, it is better to shrink at home, no matter who wins or loses, Henan Mansion is still the world of these gentry, but it is just a change of surname Zhu to be the emperor.
