As Zhu Zhantan led his troops to surround the courtyard where Sheng Jian and others were secretly discussed, a fierce battle inevitably occurred, and because Sheng Jian and others acted in a hurry, they were quickly captured by the personal soldiers brought by Zhu Zhantan and locked up in the firewood room of the palace.

At the same time, the king of Han ordered Zhu Heng and Wang Bin to inspect the military camps in the city to stabilize the morale of the rebels.

Since the rebels' left army governor Wei Da had committed suicide to be loyal to the Han king, Sheng Jian, the governor of the right army, was imprisoned again, and the Chinese army was personally led by the Han king.

Therefore, the four governors of the rebel army's five armies are now only Zhu Heng, the governor of the rear army, and Wang Bin, the former military governor, who can be said to be the top generals of the rebels except for the king of Han, which is enough to deter Sheng Jian's troops.

Zhu Heng's attitude was already very clear, hoping that the King of Han would lower Emperor Xuande, but Wang Bin did not support Sheng Jian to kill Li Yuntian, and had already vaguely expressed his attitude, so the King of Han was very relieved of the two.

After all, after the war reached this point, it was impossible for the demoralized rebels to escape from Le'an City, which was besieged by the Ming army.

Not all the important officials of the rebels want to resist to the end like Sheng Jian and others, anyway, they are doomed, and now they have to think about their families, if they surrender, they may be able to exchange a way for their families to live.

If Li Yuntian does not enter the city to persuade him to surrender, with the arrogance of the Han King, he will really fight to the death, and at least he can leave a reputation of loyalty in the history.

But what Li Yuntian said was very reasonable, and gave the King of Han a step down, especially important, the war in Jiaozhi is related to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, if it cannot be pacified, it will be abandoned nine times out of ten.

The King of Han is very clear about the thoughts of those civil servants in the court, Jiaozhi is located in a remote area, it is a barren land in the eyes of people, and it is a territory of the Ming Dynasty that was later incorporated.

Although the King of Han also thinks that Jiaozhi has no value, but since Jiaozhi has been returned to the Ming Dynasty, then he will not give it up again, he can't do this kind of thing that insults the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise how to meet Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle under Jiuquan?

But Emperor Xuande is different, he is too young, and he has just ascended to the throne, even if he has the intention to maintain the territory of the Ming Dynasty, if those sophisticated civil officials make a hindrance, then they will have to give up.

Because of Jiaozhi, the King of Han didn't want to fight with Emperor Xuande anymore, after all, the two were a family, if the dispute between the two was mistaken because of the dispute between the two, then he would not be at ease even if he died.

In addition, from the completely different reactions of Zhu Heng, Wang Bin, Sheng Jian, Luo Shan and others after Li Yuntian's arrival, the king of Han already knew that the hearts of the rebels had been dispersed, and if he persisted, he could only bring humiliation on himself, and he could not guarantee that there would be a mutiny in the city, and his reputation would be completely ruined.

In fact, since the battle of Black Bull Town, King Han's psychology has changed quietly, he never imagined that he would be defeated in the hands of Li Yuntian anyway, and he suffered a heavy psychological setback, which also laid the groundwork for surrender.

Li Yuntian didn't know that Sheng Jian and the others wanted to take risks, and wanted to abolish the King of Han and support the King of Qidong, now it was Layue, the weather was cold, and the cell was so cold that it was so cold, he was shivering with his hands on his chest.

Although there was a lot of hay on the ground in the prison, the grass was dirty and smelly, and there were even some small insects unknown to Li Yuntian in it, so he didn't have the courage to use those hay to keep out the cold.

Just when Li Yuntian was shivering there, there was a sound of footsteps in his ears, so he subconsciously opened his eyes, and the people who came to the cell at this time were definitely related to King Han.

"Lord Wang!" A moment later, Li Yuntian saw King Han and Zhu Yuxin appear in the corridor of the cell surrounded by several guards, so he hurriedly got up and threw his hand at King Han.

"There's something that this king hasn't understood." King Han stood still in front of the prison door and looked at Li Yuntian quietly, "What benefits did Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji give you, making you die for them, and ruining the good deeds of this king three times and twice, if you help this king win the world, this king can make you a marquis and a minister, far more than they gave you!" ”

"Lord Wang, it's not that the first emperor and the emperor gave any benefits to the lower officials, the reason why the lower officials are loyal to the first emperor and the emperor is completely the duty of a courtier." Li Yuntian had long expected that King Han would definitely ask such a question, so he bowed to him and said solemnly.

"Don't use this nonsense to prevaricate this king, now this king only wants to know what benefits Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji have given you!"

King Han couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, and stared at Li Yuntian with cold eyes, "This king is not a three-year-old child, he can be sent away with you in a few words!" ”

"Lord, the emperor and the emperor did not give any benefits to the lower officials, but they could give the people of the world a prosperous era of peace and health."

Li Yuntian pondered for a while, and looked at the King of Han seriously, "After the first emperor ascended the throne, he repaired the Ming Compendium, eliminated redundant officials, and reduced the endowment, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty could recuperate, and the national strength was increasingly restored. ”

King Han couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, he never expected Li Yuntian to say such a thing, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Li Yuntian is right, if the king of Han ascends the throne, he will definitely not adopt a policy of rest and recuperation like Emperor Hongxi, he will definitely follow the example of Emperor Yongle to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yongle's southern and northern wars have emptied the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, and the lives of the people will undoubtedly be more difficult at that time.

King Han stared at Li Yuntian intently, wondering if Li Yuntian was using those high-sounding excuses to perfunctory him.

Li Yuntian looked at King Han with a calm expression without the slightest timidity.

"Third sister, he's handed it over to you." After a while, King Han's expression was gloomy, he turned his head and said a word to Zhu Yuxin beside him, and then walked away, his back quite lonely.

Thinking that Li Yuntian was thousands of miles away and sent the edict of Emperor Yongle to Emperor Hongxi after many dangers and obstacles, the King of Han had to believe that Li Yuntian was speaking from the bottom of his heart.

As long as Li Yuntian handed over the edict of Emperor Yongle to him at that time, then he would get much more glory and wealth than now, but Li Yuntian did not do this, but chose to risk his life to enter the palace.

Therefore, apart from what Li Yuntian said that Emperor Hongxi could bring prosperity to the Ming Dynasty, King Han really couldn't think of any other reason.

After all, at that time, Li Yuntian was just a small imperial history who had just entered Beijing, and he couldn't get into the sight of Emperor Hong Xi at all, so it was impossible to promise Li Yuntian any high-ranking officials.

King Han had always thought that Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande had used some means to buy Li Yuntian, but now it seems that he was wrong, Li Yuntian's state of mind was obviously much higher than he expected, which made him feel inexplicably depressed in his heart.

After the king of Han left, Zhu Yuxin immediately asked the cell boss to open the cell door and release Li Yuntian, escorted by a group of palace guards, from the north gate of Le'an City, and rode a horse to the Ming army camp.

It turned out that after some weighing left and right, the king of Han had already decided to open the city to surrender to Emperor Xuande tomorrow morning before coming to see Li Yuntian in the cell.

Emperor Xuande had already fallen asleep at this time, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the news of Li Yuntian's triumphant return, and summoned Li Yuntian and Zhu Yuxin overnight to ask for details.

For Emperor Xuande, it was the best result for the Ming army to take Le'an City without blood, and it was not in vain for him to drive his own expedition, and at the same time it could also end the war between Zhending Mansion and Juyong Pass.

There is no doubt that Li Yuntian, who successfully persuaded the Han King to surrender, made another great contribution this time, and Emperor Xuande secretly remembered Li Yuntian's achievements in this counterinsurgency, and he would be rewarded heavily when he returned to Beijing.

The next morning, the king of Han opened the city gate within the agreed time, led the royal family and his civil and military officials out of the city to surrender, and Zhang Hao came to surrender under the imperial order of Emperor Xuande.

Under the command of Zhang Hao, the Ming army quickly entered the city to take over the city defenses of Le'an City, and escorted the disarmed rebels to a prisoner camp outside the city.

The king of Han and other criminal ministers and their families were escorted to the barracks by heavily armed soldiers after verifying the truth, and knelt in front of the big tent where Emperor Xuande lived to plead guilty.

The scene was densely packed with Ming troops in armor, waving flags, swords and guns, the atmosphere was sparse, and there was silence.

Perhaps the atmosphere at the scene was too depressing and dull, and several children kneeling in the family couldn't help but cry in fright, and were immediately pressed down by the frightened people on the side, so as not to disturb the holy car.

Although there was silence outside the tent, there was a lot of noise inside the big tent, and the civil and military officials headed by Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong quarreled over whether to spare the life of King Han.

Surprisingly, Xia Yuanji, Qianyi and others, who were framed as traitors by King Han, were silent and watched the scene in front of them coldly.

Emperor Xuande sat expressionlessly on a carved rosewood chair draped in tiger skin, looking coldly at the people in the quarrel, feeling a trace of annoyance in his heart.

He had previously stated that as long as the King of Han was willing to surrender, he would let the King of Han go, but Yang Rong and others asked him to kill the King of Han on the grounds that the King of Han was extremely evil, so as to set an example.

Yang Shiqi and other officials thought that although the King of Han deserved to die, Emperor Xuande had promised to keep the King of Han alive, so how could he break his promise?

Moreover, the Ming army and rebel armies in Juyongguan and Zhendingfu were still in fierce battles, and the Han king was needed to end the war in those two places, and at the same time, this was also to stabilize the vassal kings in various places.

However, Yang Rong and others believed that the crime of rebellion of the Han King was unforgivable, and there was no reason to live, and he should have been cut with a thousand knives, and for the sake of his surrender, the crime could be reduced by one degree and his whole body should be kept.

For example, the rebellion of King Ning in the fifteenth year of Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, King Ning was arrested after the failure of the rebellion, which shows the severity of the punishment.

As for the wars between the vassal kings and Zhendingfu and Juyongguan in various places, in their opinion, there is nothing to fear, as long as the king of Han dies, no one will dare to contend with the imperial court.

Because Yang Shiqi's side and Yang Rong's side held their own opinions, no one could convince anyone, so they quarreled endlessly, making the situation reach an impasse for a while.

In addition to Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji and others, Li Yuntian also chose to stay out of the matter, silently standing in the crowd, keeping his mouth shut, and did not join in this dispute.

On the surface, the two sides of the quarrel disagreed because of the life and death of the King of Han, but in fact, both sides of the quarrel had their own wishful thinking.

Taking Wenchen as an example, if we look closely, we will find that this is a fierce contest and collision between the two major Wenchen forces headed by Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong in the DPRK and China, and the purpose is naturally to compete for the right to speak in the cabinet.

Although Yang Rong is only the second assistant of the cabinet, he entered the cabinet earlier than Yang Shiqi, and his seniority and prestige in the court are higher than Yang Shiqi, so he will naturally not be willing to live under Yang Shiqi.

As for those generals, some wanted to take the opportunity to break off the relationship with the King of Han, so they took the opportunity to fall into the well, and some took care of their previous friendship and wanted to save the life of the King of Han.

What is particularly important is that many civil servants and military generals are secretly speculating about Emperor Xuande's holy will in the matter of the King of Han, although Emperor Xuande verbally said that he would release the King of Han, but it is unknown whether he thinks like this in his heart, which leads to the error of everyone's understanding, and then triggers this large-scale dispute.!^!
