Chapter 162: Two Princes

After entering the city of Beijing, Zhu Youcheng asked the rest of the carriages to go to the children's paradise to wait for orders, and he and King Xin rode into the palace in a carriage.

At the gate of the palace, they saw Wei Zhongxian, who was looking forward to it. Wei Zhongxian's expression was a little depressed, his eyes were red, and there seemed to be tears.

Zhu Youcheng was secretly surprised, what happened to Wei Zhongxian? Since the Donglin Party was uprooted, Wei Zhongxian's power has been dominated by one party in the DPRK and China. At this time, when he was proud, how did he suddenly become like this, did he encounter some big trouble?

When Wei Zhongxian saw Zhu Youcheng, he seemed to have found the backbone of his heart, and said with a sigh: "Lord Zhu, I regret not listening to you......"

Zhu Youcheng was puzzled in his heart, and was about to ask for details, but Wei Zhongxian said: "Hurry up, the emperor is waiting for you in the Qianqing Palace." When the emperor finishes talking to you, I will talk to you in detail. Alas......"

Wei Zhongxian brought the two into the Qianqing Palace.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned and was reviewing the chapters. Seeing Zhu Youcheng, his expression was relieved, he threw the pen away, and said, "Brother Cheng, you are here." I know you're very busy, while you're in charge of the two courts, you're helping me train the army, and it's really a big deal to summon you to the palace this time. ”

Zhu Youcheng's heart warmed, the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse were slightly apologetic, not a brother, how could he say such a thing.

"Your Majesty, if there is anything, just say it. With Zhu someone there, it's not a thing. ”

Zhu Youcheng's firm words made the Emperor of the Apocalypse feel a lot more calm.

"Brother Cheng, there is a mess in Cangzhou. A group of rebellious people rebelled, killed the magistrate of Nanpi County, and occupied Nanpi County, with a huge momentum and a faint tendency to burn the prairies. Now the rebels have entered Cangzhou City. You see, this is an emergency document from the Cangzhou prefect. Cangzhou is very close to the capital. You can't mess around. Brother Cheng, what do you say you should do? ”

Zhu Youcheng took the piece and read it carefully. After a while, he played the chapter in an ensemble, returned it to the emperor, and said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't need to be anxious. Judging by the cantata. In fact, there are not many stalwarts of the rebels, and most of them are people who have been coerced. As long as the vanguard of the rebels is defeated, the enemy will collapse, and then you can catch the prisoners like chickens. ”

"Oh," the Emperor of the Apocalypse was woken up by Zhu Youcheng, opened the chapter and flipped through it, and said, "I just received the news that someone rebelled, and I was upset in my heart, so I didn't read it seriously. Now it seems. The enemy is strong, but not very strong. Who do you think you can send to put down the rebels? ”

Zhu Youcheng knelt down and played: "Weichen please order to quell the rebellion." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse stepped forward to help Zhu Youcheng and said, "I am a brother to you, you just have to talk, don't kneel." Dangerous or not? If it's dangerous, I'm not allowed to play, if it's not dangerous, you can go, make a great contribution, and you can also make a face for our old Zhu family. ”

Zhu Youcheng was unwilling to deceive the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Just tell a white lie. The emperor will happily send him on the expedition. But the Emperor of the Apocalypse had already treated him as a brother and deceived him again. No matter how deep Zhu Youcheng's thick black learning skills are, he can't do it.

"There is always a certain danger in war," Zhu Youcheng said truthfully, "but I will be careful." When the army was formed, I made up my mind to be loyal to the country. Now that I have the opportunity, how can I not go? ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was silent for a long time. said: "Well, this Ming country needs to be protected by a good future after all, so you can go and practice with the traitors." By the way, how many people are you going to take with you? ”

Zhu Youcheng raised two fingers and said, "Two thousand cavalry." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was dumbfounded. "Do you know how many rioters there are? The Cangzhou prefect reported that there were no less than 50,000 people. Didn't you bring 2,000 men as a refreshment? ”

"Xizhen Fusi has already noticed the situation in Cangzhou. As far as we know, the main force of the rebels is no more than 3,000 people, and they are temporarily assembled, and there are very few knives and guns, let alone bows and crossbows. Our cavalry passed, and it was easy to kill these rabble. As for the capture of prisoners after the defeat of the enemy, leave it to the local soldiers. They can't fight tough battles, but they can fight smooth battles. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "You have a lot of sense, but I'm still not at ease. If you don't bring foot soldiers, I won't let you out of Beijing. ”

Zhu Youcheng laid out the facts and reasoned, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse just didn't listen.

Later, Zhu Youcheng was so anxious that he simply said: "Your Majesty, all I brought are cavalry, I can't win, can't I escape?" ”

Before the war was fought, he said that he dared to escape, and if such a general was replaced by someone else, it was estimated that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would slaughter him immediately. However, hearing Zhu Youcheng say this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "Brother Cheng said this, I am relieved." Are there any difficulties? Whatever it was, I agreed. ”

"There is a pillbox at the junction of Cangzhou and Dezhou, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The minister wanted to borrow some artillery and gunpowder from the military department and blew up the bunker, but I don't know if it will work? ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse grabbed the pen, wrote a note with a brush, asked the eunuch Wang Tiqian to use the seal, handed it to Zhu Youcheng and said: "Go to the Ministry of War, Shangshu Gaodi, there are many cannons there, whether it is a red-clothed cannon, a general's cannon, or a tiger squat cannon, everything is available." What else are the requirements? Say it all together. ”

"King Xin really wants to contribute to the country, and Weichen wants to ask the emperor to send him to Cangzhou with me to quell the rebellion."

"Nope." The Emperor of the Apocalypse refused.

Zhu Youcheng sighed secretly in his heart, the Ming Dynasty's management of King Fan was really too tight, even if he was a benevolent king like the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he didn't worry about letting his younger brother lead the troops. King Xin was innocent, he didn't know the inner reason, he held the arm of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and begged vigorously.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was so entangled that he had no choice but to tell the truth: "The riots in half a state, how can it be worth the action of the two princes of the Ming Dynasty, isn't this too much to give face to the rebels?" ”

"The two princes of the Ming Dynasty?" Wei Zhongxian was secretly frightened, "It's true that the king is the prince, who is the other prince?" There are only two people here, one is King Xin, and the other is Zhu Youcheng. Zhu Youcheng...... The other prince must be Zhu Youcheng! It seems that the emperor has recognized Zhu Youcheng as his younger brother, and if it weren't for the ancestral training that hindered the king of Tibet from interfering in politics, it is estimated that Zhu Youcheng would have been crowned king long ago. When the four seas are calmed down, Zhu Youcheng will retire, and it is estimated that it will be the time when he will be crowned king. ”

Wei Zhongxian was secretly happy in his heart, looking at Zhu Youcheng, but seeing that he was still a breezy appearance, he couldn't help but be even more happy: "Don't be surprised by the humiliation, you really have the style of our family." Phew, it's too unlucky, it's the demeanor of our family. ”

If you don't believe in the king, you're still cheating. The Emperor of the Apocalypse said helplessly: "Okay, you go too." However, you have to wear a white Arowana suit and go in disguise. And you're just here to watch the war, not to counterinsurgency, don't let those rebels underestimate our Ming. ”

King Xin smiled and said, "Brother Emperor, I know how to do it. (To be continued!)
