Yan Zhifu's face was iron-blue, the emperor's army would arrive in Nanjing in a few days, at this time, everywhere must be full of brocade guards, at this juncture, Mr. Huang found himself, and he could think of nothing good with his toes. But his own handle is all pinched in his hands, and wanting to refuse him is tantamount to suicide, according to His Majesty's temper, once Emperor Jianwen is implicated, it is light to raid his family and exterminate the clan.

"Alas!"

Thinking of the old mother at home and the only son who was in his first year, Governor Yan finally chose to compromise: "If Mr. Huang has something, just say it, this official is naturally not a small person who knows how to repay his kindness." However, Yan still hopes that Mr. Huang can understand, this official will help you for this last time, and you and I will not owe each other in the future. ”

"Hahaha, Governor Yan really understands people, in fact, this time the matter is not troublesome at all, just need you to give us some clothes and weapons for the government soldiers. Let my subordinates who have retired from Nanjing take a break from the limelight here for a while, there are those brocade guards everywhere outside, so Governor Yan should be more careful. The smile on Huang Zhan's face was very strong, and his tone slowed down a lot.

Yan Zhifu thought for a moment, wrinkled his brows and asked in a sullen voice, "When will your people arrive in Suzhou?" ”

"I have been waiting outside the city for a long time, as long as the Yan Governor's Mansion has arranged it, I can prepare to enter the city at any time." Huang Zhan actually had no other way to venture into Governor Yan's mansion.

The whole of Nanjing was almost surrounded by Jinyi guards in the open and secret, and there were more than 200 subordinates in the city of Nanjing, but only less than 100 people were left who could escape this time. fled all the way to Suzhou and lost more than a dozen of them, and those brocade guards kept biting them.

Huang Zhan knew that he couldn't run blindly like this anymore, no matter how disguised such a team of dozens of people was, the goal was still too obvious. It just so happened that Suzhou had a relationship with Governor Yan, so he naturally came to the door.

Zhu Di's sudden dispatch to Nanjing this time really caught him off guard, and the network that he had been operating for many years estimated that after this sweep, his vitality would be greatly damaged. The brocade guards roaming the streets and alleys made it difficult for them to move an inch, and they had to give up their plan to secretly rebel.

After pondering for a moment, Governor Yan gritted his teeth and seemed to have made a decision, nodded at Huang Zhan and turned around and walked outside the study, making his own arrangements.

The high-purity distilled liquor is really extraordinary, and as soon as the liquor rises, it will turn the river and the sea, and Tang Tianhao and Zhu Yong will vomit the earth. Although Li Ba didn't vomit, he was so drunk that he couldn't wake up, only Tang Ming was still awake, but it was even more painful, because he couldn't sleep at all if he wanted to, and his head was dizzy and aching.

In pain, he could only brew a pot of strong fragrant tea, and take Xiaobai, who was drunk and dizzy, in a daze in the small courtyard outside the house. Looking up at the starry sky in the night sky, Tang Ming was full of confusion about his future for a while, and the mantra confided by his eldest brother Tang Tianhao when he was drunk was especially circling in his mind.

"Brother, originally the eldest brother didn't want you to fall into the whirlpool of officialdom, and if you were careless, you would fall into a place of no return. But since you have fallen into it, the eldest brother is not good at saying anything about you, I just hope that you will be more careful in the future, don't be greedy for merit, you must tell the eldest brother if you have difficulties, don't carry it yourself in your heart, although the eldest brother has no ability, but there are still a few friends of life and death on the rivers and lakes, and you can still help a little at the critical moment. ”

Although this relative recognized him a little confused, Tang Ming understood that Tang Tianhao really accepted him as a younger brother, and although the eldest brother's care was not vigorous, there was a trace of love in and out of his words.

At this moment, he really had an impulse, an impulse to resign from his official position at all costs, and integrate into this warm family wholeheartedly. It's a pity that there will always be some helplessness in fate, and there is no way back to the arrow from the string, and there is no room for choice once some things start.

Gently stroking Xiao Bai's long silky hair, Tang Ming muttered to himself: "Mastiff, divine beast, does God really want me to do something great when I come here?" Xiaobai! Are you really as magical as Lingyi said, Howling Sky Dog, then I won't become Erlang God? ”

"Ugh......."

With a long sigh, Tang Ming felt a little self-deprecating for the idea that suddenly popped up. Calculating the time, the army led by Zhu Di should also arrive outside Nanjing, and his arrival seems to have invisibly changed the original trajectory of some history, and this change is still expanding.

Five miles outside the city of Nanjing, tents were set up densely, and although it was late at night, the barracks were still brightly lit. Zhu Di sat in the main account in clothes and armor, and Zhang Yu, one of his two great generals, stood opposite, Li Jinglong, the defender of Nanjing, and Zhu Sui, the king of the valley.

As soon as Li Jinglong and Zhu Sui saw Zhu Di's army coming, they went out of the city overnight to meet them, and both of them came alone without any guards. In order to show sincerity, it can be said that it is also a bloody investment, and it can be said that it is desperate to put it to death and live in the future.

"I am very satisfied with the sincerity of the two Qing families today, but why is Jianwen's whereabouts unknown, and is there anything that the two Qing families need to explain?" Although Zhu Di's tone was light, he secretly had a murderous aura.

When asked, the two looked at each other when they heard this, as if they had expected Zhu Di to ask this question, Li Jinglong took the lead in kneeling down and replied: "Your Majesty, this is what Fang Xiaoru did by the old thief, Fang Xiaoru saw that the general trend had gone, and actually set fire to Jianwen's dormitory, and fled under the desperate protection of his cronies. ”

"Fang Xiaoru, where is this person?" Zhu Di pondered for a moment and asked in a cruel voice.

Fang Xiaoru can be said to be one of the people Zhu Di hated the most, and the slogan he shouted when he raised troops to seize the throne was 'eradicate the left class ministers of the imperial court'. And isn't the first person headed by the court's Wenchen Fang Xiaoru? Zhu Di shouted this slogan out of helplessness.

At that time, when Jing was in trouble, there was a huge disparity between his strength and Jianwen's, and he found this excuse to seize the political initiative. At the same time, he also curried favor with the military attachés of the imperial court, and won the hearts of many military attachés of the imperial court in the war, so that his fighting spirit was disintegrated to a great extent.

Li Jinglong is a meritorious hero of the previous dynasty, and he is still Zhu Di's cousin, but he has never won a few battles with Zhu Di, so he naturally does not dare to be presumptuous at this moment, so he can only answer honestly: "Your Majesty, Fang Xiaoru was imprisoned in the prison by the ministers after the incident, and the heavy soldiers guarded and waited for the emperor to fall." ”

Although he hated the other party's filial piety in his heart, after all, the other party was a generation of Confucianism, and he had a great reputation in Shilin and the people, so he naturally couldn't deal with it at will. In addition, Yao Guangxiao once mentioned it to him, hoping that he could let him live, or deal with this matter in a low-key manner.

Besides, in the future, this person needs to justify his own throne, and Zhu Di is not in a hurry to deal with this matter, as long as the person is in his own hands, how to deal with it does not depend on his mood.
