Chapter 172

Wang Pu knew that after he arrived at Jinling Mansion, even if Baili Wuji immediately sent the Ming army north, he was afraid that it would be too late to save Kaifeng, at most he would only snatch Kaifeng back from Zhao Kuangyin's hands.

But what will happen to the Empress Dowager Fu and Chai Zongxun in the city, Wang Pu shuddered when he thought of it.

Wang Pu did not dare to delay for a moment along the way, and after four days and three nights of hurrying, Wang Pu finally arrived at Jinling Mansion.

At this time, Baili Wuji was not in Jinling Mansion, he went to the Jiangdu Fu training camp in the east, Yang Ting-style hot air balloon "bombing team" has been trained well, with a "parachute", the hot air balloon does not need to carry the relevant escape device, landing from a low altitude of 30 zhang, basically will not pose a threat to the life of personnel, at most is a fall and scratch the skin.

The advantage of this is that the balloon can carry at least ten pounds of personnel clothing, and there is no need to be naked to reduce weight, which is crucial for future divination missions.

It was too cold in the north, and the personnel had to be sufficiently warm to carry out the mission effectively.

The armory also purified the fuel to reduce its weight and extend its time in the air.

After watching the performance arranged by Yang Ting, Baili Wuji was already very satisfied, it was not easy to be like this in this era.

Baili Wuji only made the armory workshop increase the power of the "bomb" carried by the hot air balloon without increasing the weight.

At this time, a messenger galloping from Jinling Mansion brought the news that Wang Pu urgently wanted to see him.

Baili Wuji's heart was neutral and understood Wang Pu's intention, at this juncture. Wang Pu's intention is undoubtedly revealed without guessing.

It must be that Kaifeng Mansion was besieged by Zhao Kuangyin's army, and he couldn't resist coming to ask for help.

Baili Wuji had already planned, and he would never send troops at this time.

But what Baili Wuji didn't expect was. Chai Rong will leave such an edict on his deathbed.

Baili Wuji therefore stayed in Jiangdu for another day, and only returned to Jinling the next morning.

When he saw Wang Pu, Wang Pu's eyes were red and haggard to the extreme.

As soon as he saw Baili Wuji, Wang Pu's eyes flashed, and his spirit was surprisingly better, and he almost pounced on Baili Wuji.

Until he approached, he was stopped by the guards of Baili Wuji. only then did he wake up to his gaffe.

Baili Wuji waved his hand disappreciatively, stepped forward to support Wang Pu's elbow, and dragged him into the house.

"陛xià. Please send troops to rescue Bianjing. Entering the house, Wang Pu didn't even forget to see the courtesy, and directly said what he meant.

Baili Wuji did not respond, and ordered the guards to bring a cup of hot tea for Wang Pu. Motioned for Wang Pu to drink first.

Baili Wuji doesn't want to lose this talent. In the future, when he integrated the Zhou State, he was waiting for him to contribute to himself, and on the south bank of the Huang River that day, when Baili Wuji asked Chen Tuan to diagnose and treat Wang Pu, Wang Pu's future had already been decided.

Wang Pu didn't have the heart to drink tea, but seeing that Baili Wuji insisted, he had to drink it dry in one gulp, who knows. This tea is a little hot, drink it in one sip. scalded Wang Pu's face weirdly.

Baili Wuji couldn't help but laugh, so he stretched out his hand and motioned for Wang Pu to sit down and speak.

At this point, Wang Pu had the opportunity to truly express his meaning.

"His Majesty of the Ming Kingdom, my first emperor left an edict and a handwritten letter, and the foreign ministers were ordered by the first emperor to forward it to His Majesty of the Ming Kingdom." Wang Pu took out a brocade silk package and presented it to Baili Wuji.

Baili Wuji is a little strange, it is not difficult to understand that Chai Rong left a handwritten letter to himself, thinking that he would let himself take care of his heirs and the country on his behalf.

But the edict is a little weird, although the Ming and Zhou belong to the allies, but they go their own way, and the edict of the Zhou State is handed over to the Ming Emperor, which is really nondescript.

But out of respect for Chai Rong, Baili Wuji still took the brocade silk package.

After opening it, Baili Wuji first took out Chai Rong's letter and looked at it, as expected, what Chai Rong's letter said was to implore Baili Wuji to treat his family and courtiers well.

Baili Wuji vaguely felt that it was wrong, and it made sense to treat his family well, after all, Baili Wuji and Chai Rong have the name of righteous brothers, and Chai Rong's heirs are Baili Wuji's sons and nephews, and the words of kindness are reasonable, but for the courtiers of Zhou State, this kind treatment is a bit abrupt.

Baili Wuji was surprised, glanced up at Wang Pu, and continued to open Chai Rong's edict to watch.

Seeing this, Baili Wuji was shocked.

In fact, this edict was not for Baili Wuji, but for the monarchs and ministers of the Zhou State.

In the edict, Chai Rong ordered Chai Zongxun to abdicate, entrusted the Zhou State to Baili Wuji, and made the civil and military officials of the Zhou State loyal to Baili Wuji.

In this way, Baili Wuji felt a little guilty in his heart, since Chai Rong was able to entrust Zhou Guo to him on his deathbed, he was sitting back and watching the fall of Kaifeng.

At this moment, Baili Wuji had the urge to immediately order the army to go north.

But at this time, Wang Pu's words calmed him down.

Wang Pu confessed: "The foreign minister is guilty, and the emperor instructed the minister and Li Xiang that this brocade silk should have been given to His Majesty when the Zhao thief raised his army." Ranchen and Li Xiang did not follow the instructions of the emperor until the Zhao thief entered Zhengzhou before coming south, and the foreign minister was guilty. ”

Wang Pu naturally didn't know what Baili Wuji was thinking, if he knew, just for this sentence, Baili Wuji dispelled the idea of sending troops immediately, and he was afraid that he would slap himself a few times with remorse.

Baili Wuji heard this, and immediately calmed down. Indeed, when Chai Rong was dying, he handed over his family and Zhou Guosheji to himself in this way, but the premise was that Zhao Kuangyin forced Bianjing, and if there was no threat from Zhao Kuangyin's army, I am afraid that this package would never be delivered to his hands.

In other words, he is just a retreat for Chai Rong, rather than losing the country under Zhao Kuangyin's conspiracy, it is better to give the country to himself, in exchange for several generations of glory and wealth of Chai Zongxun and others.

After all, there is a fundamental difference between the abdicated monarch and the deceased monarch, the abdicated monarch is meritorious to the new monarch, and the deceased monarch is just a captive to the new monarch.

Baili Wuji thought of this, and he laughed at himself for a while, and he was a little self-inflicted.

Power, this thing can make biological fathers, sons and brothers turn against each other, not to mention that he and Chai Rong are just sworn brothers.

Baili Wuji then decided to follow the plan and wait until Zhao Kuangyin broke through Kaifeng, and then the Ming army would send troops.

Wang Pu saw that after reading Baili Wuji, he had no intention of sending troops, and he was in a hurry.

"Ming Guo Xi à ......." As soon as Wang Pugang opened his mouth, he was stopped by Baili Wuji.

"Uncle Wen, it's not that I'm hypocritical, but my younger brother, that is, your former emperor, has already handed over the Zhou State to me, so it's not proper for you to call it like that."

Wang Pu then woke up to the fact that Chai Rong handed over the Jiangshan Sheji of the Zhou State to Baili Wuji in the form of a testament, which naturally included all the subjects of the Zhou State, and even Chai Rong's wife and children. (To be continued......)
