Chapter 375: Reason
"Third sister!"
Hearing that the man wearing the official robe of the seventh rank of the military attache called his second brother, King Han couldn't help but be slightly stunned, looked up at the other party, and saw that his eyebrows were clear and handsome, and then he showed a surprised look.
King Han recognized it, the military attache who spoke was none other than Zhu Yuxin, the lord of Ruixiang, and he was very surprised by this, he never expected Zhu Yuxin to appear here.
Fu Wang Zhu Yongqing is the cousin of Emperor Hongwu of Ming Taizu, so Zhu Yuxin is the same generation as the King of Han and the aunt of Emperor Xuande.
"Second brother, if you don't think about yourself, you also have to think about the hundreds of people up and down the palace and the families of all the adults here."
Zhu Yuxin glanced at Li Yuntian with concern, then walked quickly to King Han, and said to him in a coquettish voice, "Second brother, although you were defeated in this battle, if you can avoid the disaster of Le'an City, you will definitely be grateful by the people of Le'an City for a lifetime, and leave a strong mark in the history books!" β
"Li Yuntian, as a dignified seven-foot man, you actually let a woman stand out for you, do you still know how to write the two words face?" King Han's face sank when he heard this, and he yelled at Li Yuntian angrily, in his opinion, Zhu Yuxin was the rescuer brought by Li Yuntian.
Li Yuntian couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he didn't want Zhu Yuxin to come to Le'an City at all, but Zhu Yuxin was worried that the King of Han would be unfavorable to him, so he asked Emperor Xuande for an edict, so that Li Yuntian had to take her.
Emperor Xuande naturally had his intentions in doing this, although he wanted the King of Han to surrender, but he couldn't fold Li Yuntian into it, otherwise it would be worth the loss, and he had a lot of things to let Li Yuntian do in the future.
The reason why King Fu has become the mainstay of the royal family and has such a prominent position in the court is not without reason, and there is a relationship in it.
In order to eliminate the worries of raising troops, Emperor Yongle pretended to be crazy and bought off the ministers of the court, so that Emperor Jianwen put back Emperor Hongxi and King Han and King Zhao to return to Beiping to serve.
It's a pity that several close ministers around Emperor Jianwen saw Emperor Yongle's plan and pointed out that Emperor Yongle's move was ill-intentioned, so Emperor Yongle hurriedly sent people to chase after Emperor Hongxi and the three on the way back.
Just when Emperor Hongxi and the three of them were about to be caught up by the pursuers sent by Emperor Jianwen, at this time they happened to meet King Fu who had returned to Nanjing from Fengyang, the capital of China, so he asked King Fu for help.
King Fu already had a very good relationship with Emperor Yongle, so he asked Emperor Hongxi, King Han, and King Zhao to change into the clothes of his entourage, hide in his entourage, and avoid those pursuers.
Subsequently, King Fu sent people to send Emperor Hongxi and the three of them back to the territory of the Han King, so that the Han King had no worries, and then raised troops in Beiping.
During the Jingjing, King Fu had been secretly delivering news to Emperor Yongle, helping Emperor Yongle a lot, and after Emperor Yongle led a large army to Nanjing, he persuaded King Gu and Li Jinglong to open the city gate and surrender.
Therefore, after Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, he has always been courteous to his imperial uncle, which established the core position of King Fu in the imperial family.
Because King Fu had a life-saving grace to King Han, and King Han was sent to Le'an Prefecture by Emperor Yongle for his crimes, thanks to King Fu's intercession, otherwise he would have been demoted to a commoner, so King Han would never hurt Zhu Yuxin, and Zhu Yuxin had his own way to save Li Yuntian.
"Second brother, it's the little sister who wants to come by herself, and it has nothing to do with Governor Li." Zhu Yuxin saw that the King of Han was angry with Li Yuntian, and hurriedly opened her mouth to defend Li Yuntian, "Second brother, are you watching those soldiers who were born and died with you lose their lives here in vain?" β
"County Lord, it's about the prestige of the prince, even if I die, I will fight to the end!" At this time, Sheng Jian bowed to Zhu Yuxin and said loudly.
"I am willing to swear to follow the prince to the death." When the rest of the generals heard this, they all bowed down to the King of Han and said.
Seeing this, Zhu Heng's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of anxiety, if Sheng Jian and the others were stubborn, then this bloody disaster in Le'an City would be unavoidable, and even if his family members were not cut down by the emperor in the future, I am afraid they would die in the war.
The emperors of all dynasties punished the rebels very severely, and the city of Le'an was the lair of the Han king, and the people in the city were regarded as traitors who followed the rebellion of the Han king, and the Ming army was not allowed to take the opportunity to burn and loot in the city.
"Lord Wang, this kid is not only a celebrity in front of the emperor, but also a protΓ©gΓ© of Lord Yang, the first assistant of the cabinet, and the son-in-law of the Duke of Zhongguo, if you take him as a hostage, maybe the emperor will get out of the way for us to leave Le'an to calm down and join the Weiguo Guild."
Just when Zhu Heng was secretly anxious there, a civil official wearing Zheng Erpin clothes sitting on the second chair on the left side of the hall stood up and said to the King of Han, he was the pseudo-household department Shangshu Luoshan appointed by the King of Han.
Luo Shan was originally a fellow acquaintance of Le'an Prefecture, and after following the rebellion of the Han King, he was entrusted with a heavy task by the Han King and became the head of the household, which he could not have imagined before.
Although the current Luoshan Hubu Shangshu is in name only, as long as the Han King succeeds in raising troops, then he will become the Hubu Shangshu of the Ming Dynasty, which is a huge temptation that is difficult to refuse.
It was by virtue of this method of entitlement that the King of Han was able to encircle a group of officials around him who wanted to be as prosperous as Jing Nan Xungui.
"Lord Wang, this move must not be done, once it spreads, the reputation of the prince will be ruined." Zhu Heng was taken aback when he heard this, Luo Shan's approach would undoubtedly anger Emperor Xuande, and the consequences would be unimaginable, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to oppose it.
"Zhu Shangshu, now is the moment of life and death for our army, the so-called success and defeat of the king, as long as the prince wins the world in the future, who dares to talk nonsense?" Luo Shan bowed to Zhu Heng and asked in a deep voice.
"Luo Shangshu, it's a matter of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor will never give way, how do you let the world look at the prince at that time?" Zhu Heng glanced at Luo Shan with a stern expression, and then solemnly bowed his hand to King Han, "Lord Wang, the lower officials feel that this matter should be cautious." β
Zhu Heng was very smart, he did not directly intercede with Li Yuntian, but secretly refuted Luo Shan on the grounds of protecting the reputation of the King of Han, so as not to arouse the disgust of the King of Han and the officials on the scene, otherwise he might invite death.
After all, King Han at this time is the most sensitive, once he finds out that some people are trying to betray him, he will definitely kill the killer, he doesn't want to touch this mold.
After listening to Zhu Heng's words, Luo Shan fell silent, Zhu Heng was right, Emperor Xuande and the King of Han fought for the throne of the Great Tomorrow, how could they let the King of Han go for Li Yuntian?
Even if Emperor Xuande wanted to do this, the civil and military officials, including Yang Shiqi, would definitely stop it, it was obvious that the Ming Dynasty was more important than Li Yuntian, and it was natural for Li Yuntian to serve Emperor Xuande as a courtier.
Moreover, since Li Yuntian dared to enter Le'an City, he must have been prepared, and would rather die than be threatened by the King of Han.
Li Yuntian, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, secretly glanced at Zhu Heng, and he was keenly aware of the scene just now, as if Zhu Heng was secretly helping him, as if he was planning a way out.
"You go and sue Zhu Zhanji, this king would rather die on the battlefield than become a prisoner of the ranks." Sheng Jian saw that Luo Shan was standing there and did not speak, and was just about to open his mouth to persuade the King of Han to kill Li Yuntian, but the King of Han stretched out his hand to stop him, and said to Li Yuntian with an expressionless face, "Tomorrow morning, this king will go out of the city to fight!" β
"Lord Wang, the lower official has a question, and I hope the prince can clear his doubts." Li Yuntian looked at the resolute King of Han, knowing that the King of Han was already bent on dying, and said after a deep groan.
"Say." King Han's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Li Yuntian quietly, wondering what trick he was playing.
"Lord Wang, are you a descendant of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong?" Li Yuntian stared at King Han and asked in a deep voice.
"Presumptuous!" Hearing this, Zhu Heng's face couldn't help but sink, and he reprimanded Li Yuntian loudly, "The prince and the first emperor are brothers of the same mother, how can they not be the descendants of Taizu and Taizong?" β
"In that case, there is something unclear about the lower officials." Li Yuntian was waiting for Zhu Heng's words, and asked King Xiang Han solemnly, "Lord Wang, the Ming Dynasty was fought by Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong with great difficulty, and now that the war in Shandong has been decided, why should the prince want to burn all the jade and stones, and increase the number of deaths and injuries, how will he face Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong in the future?" β
"There is one thing that the prince may not know, just last month, Cheng Shanbo was defeated in Jiaozhi, Chen Shangshu committed suicide and martyrdom, the rebels are becoming more and more powerful, and the situation in Jiaozhi is already precarious."
Then, Li Yuntian turned his words and looked at King Han worriedly, "Jiaozhi is the territory opened up by Emperor Taizong to the Ming Dynasty, if it is lost in the hands of my generation, it will undoubtedly become a sinner of the Ming Dynasty!" β
"What, Wang Tong is defeated?" The King of Han was taken aback when he heard this, he never thought that Wang Tong would lead 50,000 Beijing troops, and then join the 50,000 local armies of Guangxi and Jiaozhi, and the 100,000 army was defeated by the small Jiaozhi rebels, and it also made the second assistant of the military pavilion commit suicide, which is simply incredible.
"Waste, it's really a shame for Da Ming!" Then, King Han's face sank, and a sentence popped out of his mouth coldly, quite dissatisfied with Chengshan Bowangtong.
Zhu Heng, Wang Bin and others also looked at each other, extremely shocked by the news, Wang Tong can be said to be a famous general among the nobles, and he was also planted in Jiaozhi, and he also folded into Chen Qia.
"Lord, in the eyes of most people in the imperial court, Jiaozhi is just a barren land of the Southern Barbarians, but in the eyes of the lower officials, it holds the important place of the Nanyang Waterway, which is related to the rights and interests of my Ming Dynasty on the sea in the future, once there is a change, my Ming Dynasty will lose control of the Nanyang Waterway."
Taking advantage of the shock of everyone, Li Yuntian once again bowed his hand to the King of Han, and said loudly, "The Jiaozhi rebels seem to be vulnerable, but in fact, they occupy the time, geography and people, otherwise Rong Changbo and Chengshanbo will not be defeated one after another, and now the war between Shandong and Beizhili is not over, and our army has no time to take care of Jiaozhi, which will undoubtedly give the Jiaozhi rebels a chance to breathe and recuperate." β
"Lord Wang, for the sake of the people of Le'an City, and for the future of the Ming Dynasty, the lower officials implore the prince to end the war between Shandong and Northern Zhili, so that our army can go to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Li Yuntian solemnly bowed to King Han and said with a stern expression.
"Lord Wang, this person has always been scheming, and he wants to use rhetoric to induce our army to surrender, which is really hateful, and his heart is punishable!"
As soon as Li Yuntian's words fell, Luo Shan couldn't help but sneer and glanced at him, and then said loudly to the King of Han, "Now that Cheng Shanbo has lost the battle in Jiaozhi, this is the opportunity for our army, as long as our army can break out of Shandong and join the Weiguo Guild, then the emperor will fall into a two-front battle." β
Luo Shan knew very well that after the surrender of the King of Han, he might be able to be pardoned by Emperor Xuande, but he and followers like Zhu Heng had no chance of survival, so he would oppose the surrender of the King of Han.
