Chapter 423: Convince King Ning
"Seventeenth Brother ......"
Zhu Di sobbed and held his hand tightly, saying,
"The fourth brother really has no way to get to this point......"
"Okay, stop crying,"
In Zhu Quan's impression, he only remembers that he was often coaxed like this by the fourth brother when he was a child, and he never thought that one day when he grew up, he would also coax the fourth brother in turn.
"Let's go, let's go home with my little brother, sit down and talk about it well."
"Well, okay......"
While wiping the tears that were still flowing down, Zhu Di nodded.
Seeing that there was indeed no Yan army to follow, the last trace of vigilance in Zhu Quan's heart disappeared completely, and he asked his subordinates to close the city gate, and then accompanied the fourth brother all the way to King Ning's mansion.
From the opening of the city gate to the return of the two brothers to the palace, this series of events progressed so naturally that almost all of them did not notice that something was wrong, and the guards of the Ning Palace, as well as the soldiers guarding the city, were still secretly honored to be able to see the "God of War in the North" in their minds at close range.
But what they didn't expect was that from this time on, everything in this Daning City gradually fell into the control of this Yan King Zhu Di......
Today is the third day that Zhu Di has entered Daning alone and lived in King Ning's mansion.
In the past three days, Zhu Di seemed to have been worried, and he didn't even go to see King Ning's family, and locked himself in the room arranged for him by Zhu Quan all day long.
When the two brothers first met, the first thing they talked about was, of course, the persecution and injustice they had endured during this time, and the fact that they had to come to this point. Zhu Quan is still willing to believe what the fourth brother said, because judging from the emperor's methods and attitude towards the other five kings, as well as his current situation, if the fourth brother does not rise up to resist, the end will definitely be worse.
It's just that he is now running alone to his fiefdom as a younger brother, what is he for? Especially when Beiping Mansion has been besieged......
"So, what are you going to do next, Fourth Brother?"
After listening to the other party not hesitate to spend so much lip and tongue to complain to himself, Zhu Quan finally couldn't help but ask this most critical question.
However, although he sincerely sympathizes with the fourth brother, if he wants to let himself help fight with the emperor's nephew, it is absolutely impossible, and this is the only thing that cannot be compromised at present.
However, Zhu Di really didn't make such a request, just sighed softly and said,
"What else can the fourth brother do? Now Li Jinglong's 500,000 horses are surrounding Beiping City, attacking day and night, and the fourth brother I only have less than 50,000 troops in my hands, no matter what, I can't resist anymore, and the only way I can go is to ask the emperor for guilt. ”
"Huh?"
This was really unexpected by Zhu Quan. In his opinion, the fourth brother would never be equated with the word "submission", and King Yan was the kind of person who wanted to fight until the last moment in everyone's minds, but now, ......
After being taken aback, Zhu Quan asked,
"Fourth brother, have you really thought about it?"
"Naturally, I thought about it, so I came to ask you for help from Brother Seventeen,"
Zhu Di looked full of Qi Ran again,
"In fact, when I just took Beiping, the fourth brother and I had already written a petition to the emperor, and the occupation of Beiping was really an extreme move that would be adopted only after being forced into a desperate situation. At that time, Zhang and Xie bullied me very much, if I didn't resist, the fourth brother I would definitely be humiliated by these two, thinking that my brother was the blood of the first emperor, and being bullied by that kind of villain was my royal shame, and your twelfth brother didn't die because of this. ”
"yes......"
Speaking of this, Zhu Quan was really angry from the bottom of his heart, and involuntarily nodded.
And Zhu Di paused at the right time and continued,
"What's more, those two people still want to kill the subordinate generals in my house in the name of the edict, and those people are really guilty? Fourth brother, I would rather be cut by a thousand knives alone, than affect those who are loyal and follow me, they are also loyal to the country. Therefore, fourth brother, I would rather keep them safe with my own self......"
"Oh, then, and then?"
Hearing that the fourth brother had played in the court, Zhu Quan hurriedly asked,
"Because there will still be Geng Bingwen's 300,000 horses to fight?"
"That's because, Fourth Brother, I didn't reach the emperor at all,"
Zhu Di smiled bitterly,
"I heard that the excerpt has long been deducted by Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru, and the emperor has not seen it so far, which is why the fourth brother and I came to ask you for the seventeenth brother."
"Oh...... How can the younger brother help you, the fourth brother? ”
Zhu Quan asked.
Zhu Di thought for a while and said,
"The fourth brother thinks so, if I write to the emperor again, I will definitely be detained by Huang Zicheng and them, and they will not give up if they don't put me to death. However, if it is the seventeenth brother, you will probably not notice it, so the fourth brother, I am here to ask you to write a petition for me and present it to the emperor, what do you think? ”
"Of course you can do this,"
When Zhu Quan heard this, he didn't expect what the fourth brother wanted him to do to be so simple, so he quickly nodded and said,
"Don't worry, without further ado, I'll write it right away."
"Uh-huh,"
Zhu Di saw that the seventeenth brother agreed, and immediately showed a very happy look, and said,
"Thank you, Brother Xian, my net worth, my life, and the fate of the people of Beiping depend on you."
"Oh!"
Hearing that he was able to take on such a heavy responsibility, Zhu Quan couldn't help but be a little excited,
"In that case, what are you waiting for? In case Beiping can't hold it and Li Jinglong breaks through the city, won't it be too late? ”
"Seventeenth brother, you can write it now, but fourth brother, I still have to stay with you for a few more days,"
Zhu Di looked at him with pleading eyes,
"Because as long as Li Jinglong can't catch me, even when the city is broken, he can't do too much to the people in Beiping City, including those people in my Yanwang Mansion, he will definitely use these people as hostages to force me to bind myself in front of him. So we can use this time to justify to the emperor, and in addition, the fourth brother, I also sent someone to the capital to seek help from a few old ministers of the court, and I have to wait for their reply. ”
"That's right,"
Zhu Quan heard that what he said was indeed reasonable, so he nodded,
"Okay, the fourth brother can live here with peace of mind."
And so, on the third day......
On this day, Zhu Quan was chatting with the fourth brother in front of the hall, and someone from the door came to report, saying that there were three people from outside the city gate, claiming to be the entourage of King Yan, and came to send some change of clothes and a few cotton clothes to his master.
Zhu Quan listened, subconsciously looked at the fourth brother, and saw that what he was wearing was indeed a little thin, and he couldn't help but secretly curse himself for his carelessness.
