Chapter 502: Imperial City Flames
If you didn't let him go back to Beiping, let him stay with you; If you don't listen to Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, you won't do anything to the fourth uncle; If we can follow his advice, we can negotiate peace as soon as possible; If......
This is too many ifs, which makes Zhu Yunwei regret it, and almost suffocates his heart to the point of bursting......
"Even at this moment, don't you still want to see him, Your Majesty?"
A cold voice suddenly sounded above his lowered head, Zhu Yunwen raised his gaze in surprise and looked at the young man in front of him who appeared in front of him at some point.
"Who are you?"
Although he saw that the other party was wearing Jinyiwei's clothes, for some reason, Zhu Yunwen just felt that this was not his true identity.
Sure enough, the person who came sneered softly and said,
"What, you really don't remember me? Thanks to me, I saved you from the horse. Forget it, it doesn't matter if you remember it or not, I just want to talk to you about the fourth uncle we both own. ”
"Fourth Uncle ......"
Zhu Yunwen suddenly remembered,
"It's you, aren't you the personal guard next to the fourth uncle?"
"Remembered? It's not bad,"
Chai Jingnan held the Panlong Sword in his hand in his arms, and said with a slight smile,
"That's right, it's me, but don't be nervous, I just want to ask you, why do you hate the fourth uncle so much?"
"Hate?"
Listening to the other party's questioning, Zhu Yunwen's eyes were full of surprise, and he sighed and said,
"How can I hate the fourth uncle, in fact, my greatest wish is for the fourth uncle to be able to return to me again, and we will jointly govern the Daming country left by my grandfather...... However, all of this has been messed up by me, where can I hate the fourth uncle? Anyway, it should be that the fourth uncle is hating me and not forgiving me, right, didn't Aunt Qingcheng come back and said that the fourth uncle was determined to refuse to forgive me......
"The fourth uncle refuses to forgive you and hates you?!"
Chai Jingnan's eyes suddenly widened,
"The letter that the fourth uncle entrusted to the county lord of Qingcheng brought to you, have you read it well? If the fourth uncle really hates you, why does he bother to write to you again and again? Do you know how he has come over the past three years? The torment that the fourth uncle endured was simply unimaginable to anyone! Do you know how many times he cried in the past three years? Do you know how sad he was when he wrote his last letter? Fourth uncle, he has been waiting, waiting for your reply, I dare to say that even now, he still holds hope, hoping that you can be brave enough to come to him and talk to him as he mentioned in his letter. The fourth uncle has damaged his body and lost a lot because of you, don't you even want to agree to such a request? ”
"Letter?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at the emotional young man in front of him in a daze, talking about his fourth uncle, and his heart was at a loss, and it took a long time to remember that the other party was referring to the letter that he never had the courage to read.
"Do you mean the letter that Aunt Qingcheng brought back? The ...... that Uncle Fourth wrote to me"
While speaking, Zhu Yunwen looked for it on the dragon book case in a panic, but he didn't need to look for it at all, the letter was placed there properly, because although he didn't have the courage to open it and look at it, he still kept this thing that was passed on to him from the fourth uncle's hand and kept it by his side.
Eagerly opened it and read it from beginning to end, Zhu Yunwen suddenly cried bitterly,
"I'm really a waste, I have the trust of the emperor's grandfather, and I am even more disappointed by the fourth uncle......"
"The Emperor's ......"
Chai Jingnan realized that the fourth uncle had been waiting for a reply from a proposal that the other party had not paid attention to, and he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart again,
"It turns out that you haven't read this letter written to you by the fourth uncle, ...... at all"
"I don't have the guts to look at it,"
Zhu Yunwen said with remorse,
"I'm afraid that the fourth uncle will scold me, resent me, and even threaten me...... Do you know that Fourth Uncle is the only person I am closest to in this world, and I don't want to be hated by him......"
"Then why did you send troops to arrest him?!"
Chai Jingnan really didn't understand.
Zhu Yun choked up,
"That's because the ministers of the DPRK and China said that he would be opposed, so many people are saying that I just want to bring the fourth uncle back to my side and protect him...... Don't let those ministers make irresponsible remarks......"
"The Emperor's ......"
Chai Jingnan was really speechless,
"That's why you don't let anyone hurt the fourth uncle, you are really selfish enough. Just because you wanted to achieve your own little goal, you actually started this war, do you know how many people died on that battlefield, how many innocent people lost their lives?! ”
"I know, it's all my bad ......"
Zhu Yunwen said almost desperately,
"If I could have been assertive, could have given the fourth uncle a chance to explain, and could have given him more trust, I wouldn't have caused such a tragic consequence, I really can't escape the blame......"
"But it's still too late!"
Chai Jingnan interrupted him,
"What's the use of you feeling sorry for yourself here? Why don't you say these words to the fourth uncle, he has now arrived in the capital, do you want to avoid him like this forever and let him suffer forever?! ”
"I, you......"
Zhu Yunwen raised his head and looked at the person in front of him who was not a few years older than him and also called that person "Fourth Uncle", and couldn't help but nodded,
"You're right, would you like to accompany me to see the fourth uncle?"
"Of course you can,"
Seeing that he had persuaded this Son of Heaven of the Ninety-Five, Chai Jingnan was very relieved and said,
"As long as the emperor dares to take responsibility, the grass people are of course willing to accompany you."
"Thank you."
Zhu Yunwen stood up and the two walked out of the palace together.
A few waiters who were still guarding the door were surprised when they saw Chai Jingnan, they didn't know how this brocade guard got here, but they seemed to know that the emperor was going to the front hall, so they hurriedly followed beside him, although they didn't know where they were going, but they also followed closely behind.
However, just as he walked out of the Fengtian Temple, Zhu Yunwen was a little timid again, he turned his head and looked at Chai Jingnan,
"I still feel ashamed of the fourth uncle, can you please go and say hello to him first, if the fourth uncle is still willing to see me now, then I will immediately go out of the imperial city to greet him."
"Hmm...... Well,"
Chai Jingnan could see that this emperor was still very cowardly, and it really took some thought and patience to make him muster up the courage, so he nodded and said when he thought of this,
"Please wait, Your Majesty, I'll come when I go."
After speaking, he walked out of Fengtianmen directly, passed through the already chaotic imperial city, and walked out.
At this time, the streets of Nanjing were crowded with people, and people spread the news that King Yan had entered Beijing. Chai Jingnan was about to observe the direction where the fourth uncle came, but he heard a deafening chant "Long live King Yan" in the distance, and then the people on both sides of the road fell to their knees like a sea of mountains.
Fourth Uncle –
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chai Jingnan seemed to have just realized that his fourth uncle was the son of the former emperor, a high-ranking vassal king, and a person who could accept the worship of the people of the world and could be called "long live". Originally, he wanted to come forward to reunite with him, but at this moment, he hesitated, looking at the bright yellow dragon pattern cover that was already visible, and the footsteps he had just taken stopped in an instant......
When he was hesitating, suddenly someone around him was exclaiming, "The imperial city is on fire", Chai Jingnan was startled by this sound, and hurriedly turned his head, and sure enough, he saw the smoke billowing inside the palace wall that was still at the end just now, and he flew back to the noon gate in surprise.
The inside and outside of the palace walls were already in chaos, and no one would seriously check a person wearing a brocade robe for a long time, Chai Jingnan came to the Inner Wulong Bridge very smoothly, and met Jiang Xuan, who helped him enter the inner palace, and hurriedly asked,
"Uncle Jiang, what happened? Your Majesty, where is he?! ”
"Your Majesty? He had just killed Grandpa Xu and fled back to Fengtian Temple by himself......"
Jiang Xuan looked sad and sighed as he answered.
Chai Jingnan was stunned at that time, how could it be, but in the blink of an eye, there would be such a huge change in the development of things......
