“…… More than 100 ministers of civil and military affairs greeted the Emperor Taishang at the noon gate, and after that, the Emperor Taishang received the congratulations of those ministers and tens of thousands of rebels in the Fengtian Palace...... "The inner guard who was brought into the Qianqing Palace intermittently told Zhu Qiyu and others everything that happened outside the Qianqing Palace.

Then there was a silence, and after a long time, Wang Wen, who was gray-faced, raised his head and stared at the guard. "All the gates of the Qianqing Palace have been surrounded by chaotic parties, how did you get in?"

"Lord Yu, he was escorted to the palace gate by those chaotic parties." The head of the guards who had brought him over stood up and replied respectfully.

"Weichen is under the command of Lord Lu Zhonglu, the commander of Jinyiwei, in Narenshou Palace, he was ambushed by the rebels, was injured and captured, and then brought to the emperor with Lord Lu Zhonglu, only to know what happened in front of the Fengtian Palace, and His Majesty the Emperor asked Weichen to bring ......" The guard's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he was worried about something.

Du Du Mao Sheng's eyes widened, he took a step forward with the war knife on his waist, and the armor pieces on his body rang out: "What the emperor asked you to bring, don't say it quickly!" ”

However, Zhu Qiyu, who was leaning on the soft couch and had just drunk another bowl of medicine, was finally in a slightly better spirit, waved his hand tiredly and whispered: "Mao Aiqing don't have to worry, my brother asked you to bring something over, you can tell the truth......

"Back to Your Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor asked Weichen to bring this letter." The guard gritted his teeth and his heart crossed, and took out a letter from his bosom and offered it with both hands.

"Hehehe......" Seeing the letterhead presented by the guard's hands, Zhu Qiyu's face became more and more cold, and he let out a chilling laugh. Well, my good brother is really here, it's time like this, and he hasn't forgotten his brother. ”

"Do you think I'm not your opponent, do you think I'm someone who can make you ridicule at will?" Staring at the letterhead with resentful eyes, Zhu Qiyu gritted his teeth and said word by word. It was as if he was not facing a letter at the moment, but Zhu Qizhen was standing there with a sneer. "Don't think that you have the upper hand now, you are so arrogant, I will not do what you want, throw it away for me, I will not look at it."

"Long live the lord, please calm your anger, the old slave will throw this thing away, so as not to stain the eyes of the long live lord." Zhang Yong stepped forward with a calm face, and snatched the handwritten letter from Zhu Qizhen.

Seeing this, the -------------------- guard couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly said, "His Majesty the Emperor also asked Weichen to bring a message to His Majesty. ”

"What words? Didn't you want me to open the door of the Qianqing Palace and bow down to capture him, so as to fulfill his prestige as a last resort and the world's subdued? Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but sneer.

"No, in fact, when His Majesty the Emperor handed over this letter to Wechen, he had a word to explain, if His Majesty does not want to read the letter, let Wechen relay this sentence to His Majesty, if His Majesty directly reads the letter, then don't say it." The guard lowered his head and whispered.

Zhu Qiyu raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Say it, I really want to see what he can say to make me change my mind like this." ”

The five words "I am not Cao Pi ......" are very simple five words, but these five words make the sneer on Zhu Qiyu's face freeze in place, like an ice sculpture standing on an iceberg and snow field.

Zhang Yong, who had just received the handwritten letter from Zhu Qizhen to Zhu Qiyu, heard the words that Zhu Qizhen asked the guard to bring to Zhu Qiyu, and couldn't help but lose his mind, and narrowly dropped the letterhead on the floor.

"Zhang Yong, I've brought it, let's take a look, my brother, what do you want to say to me......" After a long time, Zhu Qiyu's hoarse voice sounded again.

Zhang Yong hesitated slightly, but still handed the unopened letterhead to Zhu Qiyu's hand.

"Brother Qi Yu: Seeing words is like meeting ......"

Zhu Qiyu's brows furrowed tightly, looking at the handwriting on the letter paper that seemed unfamiliar, and the silver hook and iron scratch penetrated the back of the paper, but between the lines, it was not as full of cynicism as Zhu Qiyu imagined, but those words made Zhu Qiyu feel even more ashamed.

“…… I'm your brother, and I won't do what you've done, and I don't bother to do it. I don't want to wave a butcher's knife at my brother, and I don't want all the people in the Qianqing Palace to be buried with you......"

“…… As a brother, he doesn't want his father's spirit in heaven to watch his children do cannibalism. ”

"Brother knows, there will definitely be a lot of unwillingness and a lot of doubts in your heart...... In that case, live first, not only for your own sake, but also for your son, for your brother's nephew......"

From beginning to end, this letter is like a brother, writing a letter to his younger brother, although there is some resentment between the words, but the helplessness and disappointment that are revealed there, seeing the end of the letter, and seeing the three words of the last brother Qizhen, made Zhu Qiyu's eyes hot, and he almost shed tears. Thinking of what he had done to Zhu Qizhen, the heirloom brother, since he ascended the throne, and seeing what was said in this letter, Zhu Qiyu really had the urge to dig a pit and bury himself in it.

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Qiyu, who had adjusted his mentality, took a deep breath, looked at the guard who was still kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Get up, you take my place, no, you bring a message to my brother for me, I want to see him, I don't know if it's okay?" The gloom and helplessness between the tones could not be concealed.

"Your Majesty, never!" Wang Wen and the others couldn't help but change color, and hurriedly lifted their robes and bowed to the ground. "Your Majesty must not give up lightly, now, although the chaotic party has an advantage, but we are not without a chance to win......"

"You don't know the loyalty of your Qing family, but I don't want to see blood anymore......" Zhu Qiyu's face showed a trace of nostalgia. I don't want Yanjing, like Nanjing, to experience the pain of Jingjing, since my brother is dedicated to the Ming Dynasty, I, as a younger brother, can't live up to his expectations again and again, right? ……”

Hearing the unprecedented decisiveness and persistence in these words, Wang Wen and the others sat down on the floor in a gloomy manner, and even some people sobbed loudly, and the guard, under the gesture of the gloomy Zhang Yong, was taken out of the hall by the guards of the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Qiyu didn't seem to feel the desolation and despair in this hall, and under the support of Wang Qin, he slowly walked out of this empty and dark hall, and even looked a little gloomy.

Standing under the corner of the eaves, the sunlight in the sky sprinkled down and shone on Zhu Qizhen's weak and somewhat withered body, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but squint his eyes, feeling the warmth brought by the sun on his face, and a rare smile of relief appeared on his face. "How do I feel that the sun is so comfortable today."

He shook his head at Wang Qin, who was supporting him, signaling that he was fine, and after squinting his eyes and enjoying the sunshine for a while, Zhu Qiyu said softly: "Where is the emperor?" ”

"Long live Lord, His Royal Highness the Prince is in the Jiaotai Palace, with Niangniang, Your Majesty, do you want the old slave to invite His Royal Highness and Niangniang to come over?" Shu Liang, who was standing beside him, replied.

"No need, I want to take a walk, let's go and see their mother and son by the way."

-------------------- and the people who drove out from His Royal Highness, saw Zhu Qiyu's thin and weak back, slowly moving forward with the support of the two eunuchs, and the governor Mao Sheng wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Wang Wen's outstretched hand.

"Lord Wang, what do you mean by this? Do you really want Your Majesty to be so? Mao Sheng's face was not angry, and he glared at Wang Wen and shouted unceremoniously.

"Your Majesty has made up your mind, and besides, Your Majesty made such a choice for the sake of our subordinates and for the sake of nearly 10,000 people in this Qianqing Palace. Now, all the civil and military forces have been submitted to the emperor, the camp of the capital division, and the guards are all under his command, even if you and I have the means to return to heaven, what can we do? Wang Wen smiled bitterly, took a deep breath, and said earnestly towards Mao Sheng.

Hearing Wang Wen's explanation, Mao Sheng opened his mouth, but in the end he just stomped his feet stupidly, and turned around and walked towards the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

And Zhang Yong and the others have already followed Zhu Qiyu towards the Jiaotai Palace, leaving only Wang Wen and a few other ministers, standing under the eaves of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, gloomy...... "My father, Emperor Xuanzong, before he passed away, once entrusted my mother and son to the hands of the Empress Dowager and my brother, I hope that my brother can treat our mother and son well, for more than ten years, my brother has always regarded me as his own brother, and he has taken good care of me......

“…… But after I ascended the throne, I left everything behind, thinking only about how I could become a Ming monarch like Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, and I had forgotten all about brotherhood. ”

"It's a good thing that my brother wants to take it back, I've been too tired and bitter in the past two years, and now, I can finally relax......"

Zhu Qiyu, with the support of the eunuchs, slowly walked in the Qianqing Palace, passed through the corridor, crossed the palace gate, and walked to the front of the Jiaotai Palace, and saw that the son Zhu Jianji, who was ignorant of the world, was playing happily in the open space in front of the palace in the company of several little eunuchs, just like he was brought into the palace by his father.

"Father? It's my father, my mother, my father is here......" Zhu Jianji, who was riding a wooden horse and smiling happily, saw the stumbling Zhu Qiyu walking towards him with a smile, and couldn't help but show a happy expression on his face, shouted loudly, jumped off the wooden horse, and rushed towards Zhu Qiyu...... --------------------ps: In this world, there is no bad guy in the absolute sense, writing this, I can't help but sigh a little, some pity Zhu Qiyu, the unlucky guy, in history, his ending is even more tragic, his son died, and after the throne was seized, he died lonely in the Yong'an Palace in Xiyuan. And now, his end, at least, is better than history.
