Qiu Yue stood for a long time, looking extremely hesitant, Zhu Ningxiao was not in a hurry at all, and his expression was very relaxed; Before that, Qiu Yue's wooing was a subtle hint, and he never dared to say these words so blatantly, but today he was finally able to play his hole cards with Qiu Yue happily, and his mood was a lot more comfortable.

Moreover, today I am not afraid that Qiu Yue will refuse, nor am I afraid that he will reveal his secret, because once Qiu Yue does not obey today, Zhu Ningxiao will not hesitate to take Qiu Yue's life without worrying about the aftermath. One of the most crowned reasons is that Qiu Yue asked for help from himself, and he enforced the law impartially and immediately handed him over to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, Qiu Yue resisted the murder and was killed, this reason is perfect, even if someone suspects it, there is no handle to catch, and the most important thing is to keep it secret to get rid of this difficult Qiu Yue.

Qiu Yue's hesitation is understandable, after all, this is a rebellion, and no matter how beautiful the prospect he depicts, it will make people afraid and dare not make a decision lightly. But Zhu Ningxiao felt that if he reached the point of Qiu Yue, he would not be willing to be killed, he would definitely give it a fight, which was also the reason why Zhu Ningyu dared to take the risk of telling a qiē, if Qiu Yue really planned to give up his life and the 25 years of struggle in order to kill a woman, then this Qiu Yue would not be saved.

Sure enough, Qiu Yue didn't let Zhu Ningxiao wait too long, and suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "What the prince said just now made the humble position like an empowerment, and the humble position has been desperately guarding the border town for twenty-five years, and now he is in a desperate situation because of the accidental killing of a human life, how unfair it is in this world!" The lowly position is willing to follow the prince to advance and retreat together, but ask for justice to the lowly position, otherwise the lowly position will live in vain in this life, and it will also leave infamy. ”

Zhu Ningxiao was in a good mood, and he stroked his beard and smiled: "That's right, this king knows that you still have mustard in your heart, and I am afraid that you will be regarded as a chaotic minister and thief; But you have to make one thing clear, this king is also surnamed Zhu, this king is also the blood of Taizu, and this king is also qualified to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Today's emperor has failed the trust of the previous emperor, and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty has been ruined in his hands; Above the court, in the court, there are all the ministers who are in charge, the loyal ministers are excluded, and the good generals have no status. ”

Qiu Yue's eyes lit up and he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "What the prince said is that the emperor has indeed done a lot of ridiculous things since he ascended the throne in recent years, not to mention indulging in wine, and also favoring Liu Jin and other ministers, which caused turmoil in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and the people were not happy. In fact, the humble position is also in the eyes, and it is understandable that the prince has this ambition to prosper my great tomorrow dynasty, but in name, it seems to be a little inappropriate. ”

Zhu Ningxiao laughed a few more times and said: "This king can't hear what you mean; But this king will not blame you for this, this king's trip is to follow the teachings of my ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no rebellion. ”

Qiu Yue was dumbfounded: "Ancestral Xun? Is there such an ancestral teaching? ”

Zhu Ningxiao clapped his hands gently, and a person turned out from behind the screen in the study, it was Sun Jingwen, Sun Jingwen finished his gift, and Zhu Ningxiao said: "Jingwen, Lord Qiu still has a mustard in his heart, you can say it for him." ”

Sun Jingwen nodded and smiled, turned to Qiu Yue and said, "Congratulations to General Qiu for abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, General Qiu will be of great use in the future; It is also human nature for General Qiu to have a pimple in his heart, but does General Qiu still remember the martyrdom of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Qiu Yue nodded and said, "Of course I remember, it was a major event for me, how could I not know." ”

Sun Jingwen said with a smile: "Yes, King Yan Jing is difficult, take the position of Emperor Hui, my Ming Dynasty is prosperous in the world, and all countries come to the dynasty, to this day, how will future generations comment on the matter of King Yan's Jing difficulty?" Will anyone else say that he did something wrong? ”

Qiu Yue suddenly realized that if King Anhua wants to do something today, it is to follow the example of King Yan Jing, there is a precedent for the struggle for imperial power within the Zhu family, but it is not the originality of King Anhua, there is King Yan as an example in the front, and there will be no pressure on reputation if he does it later.

"Besides, the prince's move is not to rebel and overthrow the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is the prince's family, can't he overthrow himself? The prince said that the ancestor gave him this right that was grounded, and the ancestor once said: There is no minister in the court, and there is evil in it, and the soldiers will be trained to fight against it, so as to clear the evil on the side of the king. Back then, King Yan did it according to the teachings of Taizu, and now there are treacherous evils in the court, how can the prince sit idly by, and he must do it according to the teachings of Taizu. If I explain it this way, can I relieve the general's confusion? ”

Qiu Yue is a military general, he has not read any books, and he has no power to distinguish between Sun Jingwen's words, but Sun Jingwen's words are well-founded, and there is no doubt in his heart, so he said with relief at the moment: "I see, this qiē is for the sake of my Ming Dynasty, and I am willing to serve the prince for the work of dogs and horses, but according to the orders of the prince." ”

Zhu Ningxiao smiled and held Qiu Yue's arm and said: "With General Qiu to help me, this king is like a tiger with wings, come to someone, set up a banquet and set up wine, and celebrate my birthday today." ”

Sun Jingwen said with a smile: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to General Qiu, now the three guards of Ningxia Town have all abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, the prince can achieve a big thing, and he should be celebrated." However, Lord Wang, my subordinates would like to ask General Qiu to say two words alone, and ask Lord Wang for permission. ”

Zhu Ningxiao laughed and said, "Do you still have anything to hide from this king?" But the king's heart is glad to-day, and he himself goes to the kitchen to order the food and drink, and if you have something to say, say it in the study. ”

Sun Jingwen bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang." Congratulations to the prince. ”

Qiu Yue also bowed and saluted, watching the elated Zhu Ningxiao go out.

Only Qiu Yue and Sun Jingwen were left in the study, and Qiu Yue asked curiously, "What does Mr. Sun have to say to me?" ”

Sun Jingwen didn't answer, he took out a piece of white paper from the bookshelf and grinded the ink with water, Qiu Yue became more and more puzzled, and asked, "What is this doing?" ”

Sun Jingwen smiled and said: "General Qiu, since you are willing to serve the prince and show your loyalty, you should always write something as evidence, the prince is broad-minded and unwilling to do this, as the prince's personal staff, I have to ask you to do this; I hope you don't blame me for doing this, it's not a suspicion of General Qiu's loyalty, it's just a passing scene. ”

Qiu Yue knew that this was to set up a note to leave a handle, because he was afraid that he would go out of the house to tell the whistle, and after setting up a note, everyone would be grasshoppers on a rope; At this time, he naturally couldn't hesitate at all, grabbed the pen and brushed the brush to make a note that he was willing to advance and retreat with the prince, and bit his finger to sign and draw a charge below.

Sun Jingwen laughed, dried the ink, and took out an iron box from the dark compartment on the back wall of the bookshelf, and included this deed of sale in it.

On the banquet, Zhu Ningxiao warmly entertained Qiu Yue, and after calling him a brother, Qiu Yue said: "Today, I am really flattered to be favored by the prince; But the matter of the humble position has not yet been resolved, so Song Nan is afraid that the whole world has arrested me, can the prince carry this pass for me. ”

Zhu Ningyan laughed and said, "Are you still worried about this matter?" Song Nan is no longer worried, if you go directly back to the Yuquan camp barracks, then Song Nan will not dare to enter the barracks to take you, if he dares to go, you will lead the soldiers to kill him; This king has your help, everything is ready, tomorrow you are ready, the whole army and horses listen to my orders, this king has decided the day after tomorrow the twentieth month of the twentieth issue of the document to move things, tomorrow will pass, Ningxia Town. Will not be under the control of the imperial court, what Song Nan, this king wants to take his head to sacrifice the flag. ”

Qiu Yue was surprised: "Something to do so quickly? Lord Wang, I have to remind the Lord that if you want to start an incident, you need to be fully prepared, food, grass, weapons, armor, money and things must be foolproof, and I heard Mr. Sun say that Jiang Han Li Zeng and others are not the people of the prince, should they plan more carefully? ”

Zhu Ningxiao laughed and said: "General Qiu is worthy of being the one who leads the troops, and he has a lot of consideration in military affairs, and this king is not wrong about you; However, this king has already prepared a qiē, since a few years ago, this king has hoarded hundreds of thousands of stones, grains and grass, weapons, armor and horses all over the warehouse, just for this moment, how can this king rush to start an incident? As for Jiang Han and Li Zeng and the like in the city, how many soldiers and horses can they have? The king had no interest in them. Tomorrow night the king will invite them to the palace for a banquet, but they will never be able to leave the palace door, and the little soldiers and horses under their command will become headless flies, so why worry? ”

Qiu Yue's cold hair stood on end, but his face was full of smiles and said: "It turns out that the prince has already made arrangements, but he is too worried about his humble duties, so he will go back to arrange soldiers and horses to stand by." ”

Zhu Ningyan nodded and said, "It's okay, but before leaving, you should meet your honored wife and a pair of children." ”

Qiu Yue was a little puzzled, and said in his mouth: "Lord Xie cares, and the lowly will order someone to take the family out of the mansion, so as not to be disturbed by the Jinyi Guard." ”

Zhu Ningxiao smiled and said: "This king has already taken care of you but has no worries, you see, who is over there?" ”

Qiu Yue turned his head to look, and saw six or seven people standing high and low at the entrance on the side of the porch, which turned out to be his parents, wives, children, and several other people.

"Lord Wang...... This! ”

"You go and prepare with peace of mind, Ling Zun Ling Tang Zun Lady and Miss Gongzi This king has already arranged a place for them to live in the palace, and after tomorrow, in the city. There will be chaos, how can this king let General Qiu's family be affected and be protected by my palace. will be unscathed. ”

Qiu Yue scolded angrily in his heart, Zhu Ningxiao still didn't trust himself, protecting his family was fake, and taking him as a hostage was true, this was to prevent him from going out of the city and regretting it, and cutting off his own way back.

"The prince is thoughtful, and the lowly position can rest assured now, and the lowly position is considering how to place the family to avoid the nuisance of Jinyiwei, so that the lowly post has no worries." Qiu Yue arched his hand.

Zhu Ningxiao waved his hand and said: "Don't be polite, General Qiu has anything to say to his family, and this king won't bother you, but the big thing is important, don't delay the matter, and be careful when you go out of the city." ”

Qiu Yue was helpless, came to the corridor to explain a few words to his parents, wife and children, turned around and said goodbye to the house, and disappeared into the night with his entourage.
