Chapter 449 - Counting is Counting
Zhu Rong said calmly: "No matter how familiar I am with the capital, I can't bring two thousand soldiers and horses, and now the army ambushed inside and outside the city, each of them is familiar with the terrain. In any case, there is no chance of victory in the assault, and it will only be sacrificed in vain. ”
Han Zhidao: "The Fourth Highness is in our camp, do you want to meet each other." ”
Zhu Rong was surprised: "Fourth Highness? ”
The three of them walked to the camp, and then ignored Zhu Chengqian, who was shouting "Rong'er" behind him, Hanzhi explained the queen's plan, the aunt had completely given up on the emperor, and only wanted to leave a way back for the crown prince and the princes, hoping that even if the country changed hands in the future, it would save their lives.
Zhu Rong asked the eldest sister rhetorically: "Auntie's words, can you trust them?" ”
Hanzhi frowned slightly and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Zhu Rong said: "The queen has always been far-sighted, and she has painstakingly supported the prince for decades, even if she gives up on the emperor, she will not give up her son, and she may not be unprepared." If the emperor wins, her son can still inherit the country, and if the emperor loses, she can seek peace with us. ”
Xiang Qi said coldly: "You mean, she has the intention to lure the enemy, no matter whether her father enters the palace or not, she will annihilate us first?" ”
Zhu Rong bowed: "Yes, in my opinion, it is the best policy to be on guard and preserve strength." The whole city of the capital is blocked, and the people have been resentful for a long time since the lunar month, and the forbidden army and Jin Dongsheng have only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but there are hundreds of thousands of people in the capital.
”
Han Zhi shook his head: "No, we must not let the people block the sword for us." ”
Zhu Rong said: "Naturally, you can't sacrifice the people, but you can only make it in the city. Mixing. Chaos, distract the army, then we will capture Jin Dongsheng first, and then control the forbidden army. ”
Hanzhi and Xiang Qi glanced at each other, and Shizi said: "Why don't you plan it?" ”
Zhu Rong thought for a while and asked, "You mean, father?" ”
Han Zhi smiled bitterly: "He has a poison bag in his mouth, pretending to faint in front of the battle, I guess the emperor instigated him and wanted to take advantage of my soft-hearted heart to sneak in, and then take advantage of the chaos to poison us." Father, Princess, Princess, your brother-in-law, or me, even if you catch one and bite it, it is enough to kill people and disrupt our position. ”
Zhu Rong's eyes were cold, avoiding the eldest sister's gaze.
Han Zhidao: "The plan will be calculated, first report the injury of the father, the army will delay the entry into the city, and you will try to enter the city and disturb the morale of the army." ”
As he was talking, Pingli also arrived, and Zhu Rong said to his sister and brother-in-law: "Those who are most familiar with the capital have arrived." ”
After the sisters and brothers discussed, they found soldiers with the same physique as Prince Sheng, and after dressing up a little, they staged a scene together with the soldiers who were "excited" and Zhu Chengqian, who was tied up with five flowers.
Before leaving, the four princes saw their uncle vomiting blood and falling to the ground, and the soldiers were angry to kill Zhu Chengqian, and they wanted to break into the palace to avenge the prince, and he believed it.
On this side, the prince and the civil and military officials greeted under the city gate, but they were not seen for a long time, the emperor uncle arrived, and sent two groups of people to investigate, and the people who came back actually said that the prince was assassinated, life and death were uncertain, and the army delayed entering the city to treat the prince's injuries and save his life.
The prince was shocked: "How can this be, is the imperial uncle seriously injured?" ”
At the same time, Zhu Rong reconciled and successfully sent the four princes back to the capital.
Compared with his elder brother, Pingli, who had nothing to do and went around the palace, knew better how to avoid people's eyes and ears to enter the palace, but before entering the palace, the fourth prince suddenly stopped and asked Zhu Rong: "Even if you don't accept your father's rule of the emperor, the prince is innocent, and the imperial brother treats you well." ”
Zhu Rong said very calmly: "Just because the prince treats me well, I know the prince's temperament, and he doesn't want to be the emperor." ”
The fourth prince clenched his fists: "But I'm really unwilling." ”
Zhu Rong said: "No matter who becomes the emperor, it is the true meaning of imperial power to make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and to keep the mountains and rivers eternal." Your Highness, forgive me for offending, but in fact, you are unwilling to bear it yourself, so I hope that the crown prince will pick up the burden and give you a justifiable reason to get rid of all this. ”
"You!" The fourth prince glared at him and scolded weakly, "Shut up." ”
Pingli urged on the side: "Your Highness, enter the palace quickly, otherwise you should be discovered, and you must also think about the queen and the princess." ”
The fourth prince was helpless: "You be careful, for me, whoever loses and wins is the same result, but you are between life and death." ”
He turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped again and said, "Can you save his life?" ”
Zhu Rong said: "This is a matter between their brothers, and it is meaningless for you to ask me to make a guarantee." ”
The fourth prince bit his lip, he also knew that it was useless to discuss with Zhu Rong, and now everything was the fault of his father.
In the deep palace, the queen heard that the prince sent someone to report that Prince Sheng was injured and did not enter the city for the time being, and was muttering in her heart, and the four princes came back.
After the fourth prince told his mother what he had seen, the queen remembered that her husband had said that he had sent Zhu Chengqian to assassinate his younger brother, and she felt that it was credible and not credible, and everything was going so smoothly that it was really suspicious.
"Erchen saw with his own eyes that his uncle was seriously injured and was carried away, and later I heard Zhu Rong say that it looked like he was bitten." The fourth prince said, "In short...... You have done everything you told your sons. ”
"Okay, you go back to the palace, take care of your wife and children, and don't come out no matter what happens outside." The queen said, "If you really can't stop it, the queen mother will also save your life, and life is better than anything else." ”
After retiring the four princes, the queen came to the main hall in person and saw the emperor sitting on the dragon chair with a gloomy smile on his face.
"The Emperor's ......"
"Did you hear that?"
"Yes, the prince returned, he was injured and will not enter the city for the time being."
"Zhu Chengqian is really reliable, the most ruthless in the world is not to be punished, he hates it very much." Emperor Jiasheng said, "His preference for Zhu Rong always reminds me of the first emperor, and I know that as long as Zhu Rong's life is small, he can be destroyed." ”
The queen didn't dare to say that Zhu Rong had already entered the city, she could only pray, what the four princes saw was true, and prayed that Zhu Rong was just going to rob the prison to save his brother and uncle, and would not come to the Jinluan Palace.
"There's no cure for that poison." The emperor smiled hideously, "I will bury him in a beautiful way." ”
At this moment, under the guidance of Ping Li, Zhu Rong scattered his brothers in three places, and turned out a large number of copper coins that were exchanged before Fuyi just in case.
Pingli said proudly: "You said that you never go home, who can my sister-in-law rely on?" It's up to me, of course. ”
Zhu Rong kicked his younger brother: "When you marry a daughter-in-law, I'll see if you can be at home every day." ”
The son of the Qin family smiled and said, "Pingli, why don't we go back to the country and make trouble again?" ”
Pingli rolled his eyes, patted his brother's chest and said, "You hurry up and pick up the prince, this is on me, I can't do anything else, won't I make trouble?" ”
Zhu Rong said: "Be careful. ”
Pingli didn't forget to ask again: "By the way, how is grandma?" ”
Zhu Rong said: "There is your sister-in-law here." ”
Pingli snorted lightly: "Why did you throw everything to your sister-in-law?" ”
Zhu Rong's heart was shocked, but before he could answer, the teenagers dragged away with several large boxes of copper plates, and within an hour, they had a way to turn the capital upside down.
Zhu Rong settled down and went to the east of the city, looking for the traces of Prince Sheng and the county lord according to the secret signal told by the prince.
Originally, he was supposed to answer and lead the way into the palace for the prince, but Zhu Rong forgot that the prince had grown up in the capital, and he was also young and naughty, hiding from the emperor countless times over the wall and going out of the city, this is the home where he was born and raised, no matter how strict the palace guards are, he can come and go freely.
The last code that Zhu Rong saw, the prince and his party, had already entered the palace.
After a little hesitation, Zhu Rong gave up entering the palace, there were too many guards in the palace who knew him, he didn't want to cause trouble, and he didn't want to do anything with his original brothers.
So he came to the prison of the Criminal Department, and was about to go in, but saw Min Yanshi and several other officials coming out.
After all, they are brothers for more than ten years, Min Yanshi seemed to feel his breath, and looked in the direction where Zhu Rong was, but he didn't want to alarm others, so he gave up after not finding the figure.
The carriage and horse outside the prison of the Criminal Department left, Zhu Rong was about to act, and was pulled behind him, he instinctively turned around and counterattacked, and was surprised to see that the second brother appeared in front of him.
"Brother!"
"What are you doing?"
"Save Pingzhen and Huaifeng."
"Yunzhi has been taken away, and I stay here every day." Ping Rui said, "Don't act rashly, Min Yanshi said, they are safer in the prison than outside." ”
Zhu Rong suddenly punched the second brother: "Okay, write to me after you settle down, where have you been?" ”
Ping Rui said angrily: "Is now the time to talk about this?" ”
He dragged Zhu Rong to a more secluded place and told him the current situation in the capital, and Zhu Rong also told his grandmother and aunts that they were all safe.
Zhu Rong said: "Brother, we want a fresh face who is familiar with the terrain of the capital and infiltrate Jin Dongsheng." ”
Ping Rui said coldly: "He shouldn't recognize me, I haven't seen him for more than ten years." ”
At this moment, Yao Nian followed his father and had returned to the palace, but the palace was so big, ten steps and one post, if you want to get close to the palace smoothly, it is more difficult than walking in the capital, the father and daughter chose the palace gate closest to the concubine palace to enter the city, so as to sneak into the concubine palace first.
