Chapter 410: Poisonous Wine Apricot Blossom Spring
Rao is Zhu Youzhen has been mentally prepared for His Majesty Zhu Youxiao not to spare his life, but at this moment, he heard Li Mingrui, the second assistant of the cabinet, mention that His Majesty has no intention of killing Guan Ningjun, and even Zu Dashou's brother Zu Dale can open the net, but even after being ruthless to his own brother, Zhu Youzhen still has a feeling of being suddenly struck by lightning in his heart.

Once upon a time, he also made a decision like this, although he also wanted to ignore his personal feelings for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's eternal foundation, but he couldn't help but admit that he chose to collude with the Donglin Party, intending to kill the emperor's brother, and also had his own selfish intentions.
Boiled beans burn bean baskets, and beans cry in the kettle; This is born from the same root, so why not be in a hurry to fry each other.
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but think of Cao Zhi's poem, smiled bitterly, and did not answer.
And Li Mingrui continued to persuade: "It can be seen that the three thousand soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army outside the car are all brave warriors who have gone through a hundred battles, knowing that the court has abandoned them and not rebelling, which means that they can be regarded as loyal and righteous people, if King Xin really bears the patience to let these good men of my Ming Dynasty be buried under this Hami Acropolis with you, the lower officials can't say it, but there will be 3,000 more orphans and widows in this world, I don't know if His Royal Highness King Xin has ever thought about it." ”
Bang!
Zhu Youzhen slapped the table, stood up directly, clenched his fists, and said fiercely: "Don't say it, I promise you, I will die!" ”
Li Mingrui smiled coldly, and his slightly white face showed a hint of disappointment, but then he applauded again: "Okay!" His Royal Highness King Xin is worthy of being a person who dares to act in my Ming Dynasty, and he is worthy of being the blood of the royal family! ”
"Come on, bring the apricot blossom spring that the old man has treasured for twelve years!"
As soon as Li Mingrui gave an order, a servant walked in with a pot of wine, Li Mingrui took it himself, put a wine glass in front of Zhu Youzhen, and deliberately shook it in front of Zhu Youzhen, and then poured the wine for Zhu Youzhen.
Zhu Youzhen guessed that this might be poisonous wine, but he couldn't help but smile lightly: "It's a pity, it's just a glass of poisonous wine, and there is no need for Li Ge Lao to send his own good wine to Gu." ”
"His Royal Highness King Xinguan admires that His Royal Highness is a person who understands righteousness, and it is also appropriate to send His Highness with good wine", Li Mingrui said with a smile and then made a gesture of invitation to Zhu Youzhen, and then sat back in his seat.
Zhu Youzhen was in turmoil at this time, although he had already looked down on life and death, but when he knew that a glass of poisoned wine was placed in front of his eyes, and he was about to drink him to end his life, he still felt a trace of fear and reluctance.
"Your Highness don't worry, this poisonous wine is not a peacock gall or a crane top red, it is a unique medicine secretly made by the imperial pharmacy, it has a special effect after mixing alcohol, it will not seal your throat and will not have heartburn, in short, you will not have any pain after drinking, and it will still be normal within three days, but it will suddenly die after three days."
Li Mingrui said this, which made Zhu Youzhen's mood more complicated, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I can't imagine that I don't even have the opportunity to shroud the body of the horse leather, please ask Li Ge Lao to convey the imperial brother, the younger brother is guilty, he should not have coveted the throne at the beginning, and committed a big crime, and now he has this result, and the younger brother is to blame, and now the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is thriving, Nanping Haikou, the north is collecting the south, and the west is Hami, which is comparable to the grand occasion of my Taizu Yongle, the imperial brother is the emperor of the heavens and latitudes, and the king of the Ming Dynasty, is a foolish brother, and almost makes me lose a virtuous monarch in the Ming Dynasty, almost caused the Ming Dynasty to suffer the disaster of the country, and after the death of the foolish brother, he would go to the ancestors and ancestors to ask for responsibility. ”
As he spoke, Zhu Youzhen solemnly turned around and looked at the yellow sand flying in the sky outside the car window, the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army who had fought side by side with him for several months under the yellow sand, and the Mongolian Tartars who were killing more and more on the periphery, he couldn't help laughing, his voice became louder and louder, but his eyes were involuntarily full of tears.
After calming down for a while, Zhu Youzhen finally picked up the wine glass, the pink and white porcelain cup of the kiln, the fetal quality is symmetrical, the wall is as thin as a cicada's wings, and it is the size of an egg in his hand.
But Zhu Youzhen felt that this small glass of wine was as heavy as 10,000 catties.
He was struggling in his heart, and he even thought that while only he and Li Mingrui were in the carriage now, he could completely hold this cabinet scholar hostage with his own ability.
And then take this cabinet assistant hostage, so as to avoid this crisis of death.
Zhu Youzhen was not sure if he could get the support of the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army by doing this, but he believed that he had fought with them for so long, and although Zu Dale and Zu Kuan and others would not follow him against the imperial court, at least they would not attack him.
The only thing to worry about is the Praetorian Guard, but with Li Mingrui here, the Praetorian Guard will definitely throw a mouse.
But what's the point of doing this, he can't compete with the imperial court by himself, and even if he kidnaps Li Mingrui and escapes here, he won't return to Middle-earth safely.
And taking Li Mingrui's life doesn't seem to have much value.
What's more, by doing so, he did indeed cost the lives of the 3,000 soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army, and they would lose their last chance to survive because of their fear and hesitation.
"Daming can do without Zhu Youzhen, but it can't be without these 3,000 people who dare to fight and loyalty!"
Zhu Youzhen said, suddenly raised the wine glass, opened his mouth and poured the orange-red liquid into his mouth.
Because he poured too quickly, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help choking, the wine was very spicy, full of strength, and it burned people's hearts, and Zhu Youzhen, who had tasted countless palace wines, couldn't help but praise.
"Li Ge Lao's wine is really good, strong enough!"
……
Li Mingrui just smiled faintly, there was no joy or anger in his deep eyes, his thick eyebrows trembled slightly, and the wrinkles on his forehead shrank tighter, as if he was thinking about something.
But then, I heard Li Mingrui suddenly shout: "Someone! His Royal Highness King Xin insulted his father, intending to hold the official hostage to blackmail the current saint, disregarding the court's etiquette and law, interfering in national affairs, and calling the army to the west. This official came with the emperor's order, and he has the right to take it first and ask later, and execute it immediately. ”
Five brocade guards suddenly came out of another secret room in the car, and these five brocade guards sang "Yes!" together. He buckled Zhu Youzhen's backhand.
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel horrified, and asked rhetorically: "What does Elder Li Ge mean by this, Gu has already taken poisoned wine, why is he still detaining Gu for no reason?" ”
"Since King Xin is determined to die, why ask so much, there must be an explanation for some things, even if it is a violent death, there must be a reason, isn't it?"
As he spoke, Li Mingrui didn't say anything more, but immediately pulled someone to the prisoner car, and Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, was also dragged out and directly put into the prisoner car.
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but show bitterness on his face, he didn't expect this Li Ge Lao to come out like this, but when he thought that he couldn't live for three hours, there was no need to care so much, both horizontal and vertical were going to die, and he was escorted into Beijing in a prison car, but he also ended up with a fallen leaf and returned to his roots, which is also good.
