The conversation between Shen Yichen and Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, was overheard by Zhu Ji, who was deliberately hiding outside the door of the small courtyard.

When Shen Yichen said that he took the initiative to refuse Emperor Zhu Qizhen's request to return to Beijing, even Zhu Ji, who had chosen to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, was a little shocked.

After all, compared with himself as a "nobody", Shen Yichen is deeply favored by Zhu Qizhen, and he also has a loyal and patriotic image. As a result, he didn't expect that in order to win the trust of Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, he would turn his back on the lord and seek glory to such a point, which can be said to be not giving the emperor a way to live.

But soon a sinister smile appeared on Zhu Ji's face, it seems that he and Shen Yichen are really siblings with the same blood, especially the other party's ruthless hypocritical and righteous appearance, compared to himself, he is not as good as himself!

"Ji'er."

A call interrupted Zhu Ji's dark speculation, and Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, couldn't give up his son after all, so he called him over.

"Father."

Zhu Ji returned to the gloomy appearance after the great change, and saluted Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, with a respectful attitude, but the cold aura was already overflowing.

"Now that the family and country have undergone great changes, and the father has also been questioned for taking the title, the huge Chengguo Mansion cannot be supported by your brother alone."

"Ji'er, it's time for you to grow up."

Compared with the previous Duke of Daming, the current Duke of Chengguo, Zhu Yong's tone is much softer, and he has completely become a father's diligent teaching.

"The child obeys his father's command."

Although Zhu Ji hated the Chengguo Mansion to the core, he understood that he must not show anything in front of Zhu Yong, otherwise there would be no hope of revenge in this life.

"Throughout the ages, after the chaos, there will be great governance, and the battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Tartars is not an opportunity for you juniors to come forward. You will report to the army tomorrow, and Yi'er will arrange your enlistment. ”

In the first battle of Tumubao, a large number of generals were killed, so that there were many vacancies in the army, and it was impossible for Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, not to see the opportunity. Error-free updates @

In the past, he was still the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, and he was able to cultivate his eldest son Zhu Yi to attack the lord with peace of mind, but now he has been demoted to a concubine, and he can rely on his previous prestige in a short period of time, and no one dares to bully the Chengguo Mansion.

But when the upstart ascends to the throne, who cares about a duke without a duke?

Relying on Zhu Yi alone, it is difficult to support alone, no matter whether Zhu Ji is not angry or not, after all, he is his own son and a member of the Chengguo Mansion, and it is time for him to take responsibility.

"It's my father, I'll study hard from my brother."

An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Ji's mouth, he never expected that Zhu Yong would push himself into the army at this time.

In this case, it will be much easier to obtain information from the Ming army than before, and there is no need to find out all kinds of ways to find out the news.

Looking at Zhu Ji's obedient appearance, Zhu Yong couldn't help but show a relieved smile on his face. It seems that just like Shen Yichen, Zhu Ji has never learned and has never been able to learn, and has gradually grown up sensible.

Although it is a few years late, who knows if it will be a late bloomer?

Compared with Zhu Yong's relief, standing on the side, Zhu Yi's face was a little dignified. He knew very well that after the death of the Duchess Lin Shici, the changes in Zhu Ji's body, especially the addition of a group of mysterious people around him, could not be touched at all.

It's just that no matter how vigilant Zhu Yi is, the two have grown up together since childhood, and that sibling affection cannot be parted. He never imagined that Zhu Ji would choose to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason for revenge, let alone that this blood brother had the intention of killing his father and killing his brother!

Everything that happened in the Chengguo Mansion, Shen Yichen naturally didn't know, he had already come to the imperial study in the Forbidden City, and Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu had been waiting for a long time.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty."

After Shen Yichen walked into the imperial study, he bowed to Zhu Qizhen.

"Shen Qing, don't be polite, quickly tell me, how is the situation of the Emperor?"

Just as Yang Shan guessed, although Zhu Qiyu promoted him to the right capital imperial history, he was never regarded as a confidant, so he was naturally suspicious of his entry into the palace.

Now that Shen Yichen is back, Zhu Qiyu wants to know the true thoughts of Zhu Qizhen in the Mongolian camp.

"The emperor is afraid of the cold in the north, and he still wants to return to Beijing as soon as possible."

"That's first. (This chapter is not finished!) )

372 Preparing to Fight Back (2-in-1)

Can the idea be loose? ”

Taishi has always regarded Zhu Qizhen as a long-term meal ticket, which can be used to extort the ransom of the Ming Dynasty indefinitely.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, Zhu Qizhen's use value has been greatly weakened, which may change the mind that he made up his mind first.

"When the minister met Ye Xian, he had no intention of releasing the emperor."

Hearing Shen Yichen say that he didn't want to release Zhu Qizhen first, Zhu Qiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

But immediately after Shen Yichen's words, his hanging heart was raised again.

"But if the Jingshi attack fails, the minister is expected to retreat first, and use the emperor as a bargaining chip again for negotiations, and will show great sincerity in releasing it."

The coercion value of Zhu Qizhen, as Emperor Jingtai ascended the throne for a long time, is constantly decreasing, and if it is detained, it will eventually become worthless!

On the contrary, he used the residual influence of the emperor to make the last penny, and then released him back to Beijing to cause civil strife in the struggle for imperial power, so as to maximize the benefits.

Shen Yichen believed in the strategic wisdom of the etheric master, and he would not fail to think of this.

"What else do the Tartars want to talk about?"

"Frontier Trade!"

Shen Yichen did not hesitate to say that tribute and trade determine the livelihood of Mongolian herdsmen, and they are important tasks that have been unavoidable by successive generations of Mongolian rulers.

After hearing Shen Yichen's answer, Zhu Qiyu nodded silently, he also understood what the Mongols wanted.

"Did the Emperor tell you anything else?"

"There is no other word than to reprimand Wei Chen."

Shen Yichen can tell Chengguo Duke Zhu Yong about his refusal to bring Zhu Qizhen back, but he must not tell Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, let alone regard this behavior as an invitation!

Identity determines the camp, this is like when the eunuch Cheng Jing found Shen Yichen, if he asked him to "kill the king", then Shen Yichen would not have agreed anyway, let alone have lost this credit.

As a courtier, you can refuse Zhu Qizhen to return to Beijing today. If I were in trouble in the future, would you do the same thing?

As for whether Shen Yichen is out of public righteousness, except for Yu Qian who will believe it, I am afraid that there will be no second person in this world!

"Shen Aiqing, hard work."

Zhu Qiyu patted Shen Yichen's arm with some gratitude, he would be reprimanded by the Emperor Taishang, in a sense, he was ordered by himself.

At this moment, a figure rushed into the imperial study, grabbed Shen Yichen's arm tightly and asked, "Young Sima, how is the Emperor Taishang in the enemy camp, is he well fed and clothed, but is he still healthy?" ”

It was none other than Queen Qian of Zhu Qizhen who rushed into the imperial study.

Looking at Queen Qian's nervous and expectant face, Shen Yichen was speechless for a while. He can be ruthless to Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, but he has never been cruel to a woman who is looking forward to her husband in such a deep palace.

"Imperial sister-in-law, don't be impatient, let Shen Aiqing speak slowly."

Zhu Qiyu persuaded while trying to pull Queen Qian's hand away. After all, the harem concubines and the ministers of the previous dynasty pulled and pulled, and the etiquette law was not tolerated.

But what he didn't expect was that Queen Qian was always reluctant to let go of her hand, and stared at Shen Yichen with a pair of eyes.

She knew very well in her heart that the former emperor's brother and the current emperor were actually on the opposite side of her husband.

But Shen Yichen is different, he is the three yuan and the first appointed by his husband, and he is deeply favored by the emperor, and he will definitely find a way to welcome the emperor back to Beijing.

Facing Queen Qian's eyes, Shen Yichen was momentary and didn't dare to look directly at the other party's expectant eyes. I saw him take a deep breath, and then replied expressionlessly: "The queen can rest assured, the emperor is in good health in the Mongolian army camp, and he can start negotiations with the Tartars again after the siege of the capital is lifted." ”

"Really?"

As if she had grabbed a life-saving straw in despair, Queen Qian became excited again.

She can be said to have washed her face with tears during this period of time, and in just over a month, she seems to have aged more than a few days, and even seeing things on weekdays has become a foggy lake.

Queen Qian doesn't know if she can see her husband's face clearly if she is in this state. That's why, she knew that the hope was very slim, but she still couldn't hold back and came to the imperial study in person. _o_m (This chapter is not finished!) )

372 Preparing to Fight Back (2-in-1)

Ask Shen Yichen about the situation of Emperor Taishang.

"Really."

Shen Yichen nodded, he didn't want to puncture Queen Qian's illusions, even if it would bring a more cruel reality in the future.

"Imperial sister-in-law, Shen Qing will do his best to rescue the Emperor, and I will also do my best to return to Beijing soon."

Zhu Qiyu comforted again, he knew that his imperial sister-in-law was pure-hearted, and he also didn't want her to fall into grief excessively.

"Okay, then the palace will be entrusted to Your Majesty and Shao Sima."

At this moment, Queen Qian finally let go of her hand, and then bowed and slowly exited the imperial study.

Seeing that Queen Qian now needs someone to support her in order to see the appearance of the threshold steps clearly, Shen Yichen can no longer restrain the guilt in her heart and twists her head to the side.

"Shen Qing, I actually can't bear it, after all, the Emperor Taishang is my brother who grew up together."

Zhu Qiyu noticed the change in Shen Yichen's movements, and his eyes became red at the moment.

In history, Zhu Qiyu has never been an iron-hearted king, he has countless ways to make the death of the imperial brother Zhu Qizhen silent, so that the crown prince Zhu Jianshen will never be able to succeed to the throne.

But even when he was seriously ill and bedridden, Zhu Qiyu couldn't bear to do it. Even after learning that it was the restoration of the imperial brother Zhu Qizhen, there was a smile of relief and relief on his face.

At least this world still belongs to the Zhu family.

"It's just that after I ascended to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, I can't go back."

Zhu Qiyu's tone was full of emotion and embarrassment, and Shen Yichen believed that this was his sincere words.

The emperor's throne, after sitting on it, tasted the taste of power, and it was indeed easy to change people's hearts.

Probably realizing that some of them were too expressive, Zhu Qiyu calmed down his emotions and asked instead: "Shen Qing, now that Jing Yuanbo's Southern Expeditionary Army has returned to the division one after another, and last night it even raided the Tartar camp, do you have any plans for the next march?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, when the minister returned to Beijing to see the Great Sima, he suggested to him that he had taken the initiative to launch an attack on the Tartars, and that a battle plan should be submitted soon. _o_m ”

"That's good."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and then said, "If there is nothing else important, Shen Qing, you can step back first." ”

Zhu Qiyu asked this sentence, just because he didn't want to continue on the topic of the emperor's brother, he handed over the military aircraft to Yu Qian with full authority, and he would not interfere too much in decision-making.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shen Yichen understood that Zhu Qiyu's state of mind at this moment must be extremely complicated, which may be similar to the way he faced Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo.

Can't get close, and can't be distancing.

Just when Shen Yichen was facing the saint, on the other side, Yu Qian had already discussed the battle plan against the tile spur with Wu Qing Bo Shi Heng and Jing Yuan Bo Wang Ji.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Tartar army has now retreated, and according to the spies sent out, they are fully shrinking their forces and diverting the looting supplies to the north."

"It seems that just as Shen Shilang asserted before, the Tartars have no intention of fighting again, and our army must seize the fighters to counterattack."

Hearing Yu Qian's words, Shi Heng immediately agreed: "Yexian Xiao'er has obviously been broken, this time Lao Tzu will definitely not let them run back to the outside of the plug safely, the shame of the battle of Yanghe Benbo has not forgotten!" ”

Shi Heng himself is brave and warlike, and now he has tasted the dividends brought by the war, and has directly jumped to the rank of the Great Ming Emperor.

As long as the Tartars can be broken, there is a high probability that the reward for meritorious deeds after the war will be able to go to a higher level. Thinking about how beautiful Wei Guogong, British Gong, Cheng Guogong and others were at the beginning, now it is finally the turn of the Shi family!

Compared with Shi Heng's belligerence, Wang Ji is much calmer now. After all, he has just experienced the bloody battle of Luchuan, and he can better understand the pain and disadvantages brought by the war.

In addition, Wang Ji does not trust Shen Yichen from the bottom of his heart, and he naturally has a trace of suspicion about his proposal to take the initiative.

"Da Sima, the strength of the Tatars is still there, we do not have an advantage, and it may not be wise to choose to take the initiative to find fighters at this time."

Before Yu Qian could reply, Shi Heng spoke: "Uncle Jing Yuan, what you pay attention to in fighting a war is a surprise, and the Tartars definitely don't want to." (This chapter is not finished!) )

372 Preparing to Fight Back (2-in-1)

By this time, we dare to take the initiative to host, and we will definitely be able to catch them off guard! ”

"But the Tartars are mainly cavalry, even if we take the initiative, how can we expand the results of the battle?"

Several battles of Luchuan brought Wang Ji the biggest insight, that is, many times he obviously had an advantage, but he could not expand the results.

was even caught by the opponent to make a loophole, but it made himself lose his troops.

However, just when Shi Heng and Wang Ji were arguing with each other, Yu Qian finally stood up and spoke: "We have the ability to expand the results of the battle and completely surround the Tartars!" ”

"Da Sima, how to do it?"

Shi Heng's eyes flashed with excitement, and he already had a premonition that this would be a shocking battle!
