Xiangwang Zhu Zhan was originally extremely majestic, after all, as the dignified Prince of the Ming Dynasty, he really didn't believe that Shen Yichen dared to do anything to them. But when he heard the words "Guangtong King", Zhu Zhandong's face changed instantly, and even his legs were a little weak.

The reason is that he reluctantly realized at this moment that the emperor allowed the three kings to come to Beijing for the pilgrimage, not because of the pressure of the prince of the clan to compromise, but on the contrary, to invite the king into the urn and hold a "Hongmen banquet".

Shen Yichen is the Xiang Zhuang who dances the sword!

It was not until this moment that he completely explained why Shen Yichen was so arrogant, and he didn't put Prince Ming in his eyes at all, and the instigator behind him was today!

"It's nonsense, the king of Guangtong is in Yunnan, and the king's fief is in Huguang, there is no intersection between the two, how can he become the mastermind behind the scenes to participate in the rebellion."

"Shen Yichen, you are framed!"

Xiangwang Zhu Zhanyuan immediately denied Shen Yichen's accusation and showed a tough appearance, but it can be seen from those subtle movements that this is just a strong inward.

"Is it to frame King Xiang and know in his heart that King Guangtong and King Yangzong are still imprisoned in the ancestral land of Fengyang Mansion, presumably they should be looking forward to the day when they can regain their freedom."

Shen Yichen said this very calmly, when it came to the showdown, there was no need to provoke and ridicule anything, and the effect of wanting to publicly win the Prince of Daming had been achieved.

If nothing else, today's scene in the capital will soon spread out, breaking the ideological steel seal of the clan prince and vassal king that no one dares to move. Let the people of the world understand that as long as the law is violated, the Prince of Daming is nothing more than that!

"Zhao Hongjie, escort King Xiang and King Lu to Jinyi Wei Prison."

"Yes, the subordinate obeys the order!"

Zhao Hongjie clenched his fists and took orders, and then waved his big hand to signal the brocade guards to continue to step forward to take people. The personal guards of the three kings, who were still-for-tat, immediately wavered in their will after hearing that King Xiang was involved in King Guangtong's rebellion.

The guards standing in the front row facing each other looked left and right at the movements of the robes beside them, and slowly retreated as a whole and did not dare to stop them.

"Without His Majesty's holy decree, Shen Yichen, your rash arrest of Prince Ming is an edict, and this king will not obey."

At this point, even if he knew that Shen Yichen had the emperor's backing behind him, King Xiang could only stubbornly resist to the end and make a plan to die. After all, starting from Emperor Jianwen, as long as the clan is labeled as a rebel, then the end will definitely not be much better.

"That's right, there must be the emperor's holy decree, otherwise this king will not accept it!"

Compared with Xiangwang Zhu Zhandong's "taking history as a mirror", Zhu Taikan, the king of Lu, is a personal experiencer of Shen Yichen's "despicable methods". Do you think that before my father confessed his guilt, he died on the way to escort Jingshi, and now he wants to come out alive after entering Jinyiwei Prison?

"Protect the prince!"

When the generals of the Royal Mansion Honor and Guard Division saw this scene, they gave an order on the spot to stop the palace guards who were retreating step by step.

They are different from the ordinary officers and soldiers of the Daming Guard, once they enter the honor guard division of the palace, they are equivalent to glory, wealth and wealth, and their lives are all bound to the loyal vassal king.

If the prince is convicted of conspiracy, then the officers and soldiers of the royal palace will be defined as accomplices, and in this case, they can only obey the orders of the vassal king to fight to the end!

The three kings' guards added up to thousands of people, more than three times as much, Shen Yichen didn't expect this situation at first, and only let Zhao Hongjie bring hundreds of brocade guards, who were at a great disadvantage in terms of numbers.

】

If you can't take the three kings in this case, wait for Zhao Hongjie or go to transfer troops yourself, I'm afraid that the daylily will already be cold, and the good situation created in front will all be reversed, and the Prince Ming is still inviolable in the eyes of the people.

And Shen Yichen's current actions, in a sense, have not been instructed by the emperor, and they are completely on the basis of acquiescence to play on their own, and pull the banner as a tiger skin. If it really makes trouble in front of the emperor, whether it can win the three kings will become a question mark.

At this point, Shen Yichen had no other way, only to see him turn around and shout towards the soldiers and horses of the five cities who were originally welcoming the three kings in the rear, as well as the officers and soldiers guarding the gate of Dongzhimen: "The soldiers and horses of the five cities and the defenders of Dongzhimen obey the order, and the three kings intend to raise troops to resist the law, and you will cooperate with the officials and Jinyi Wei to enforce the law!" ”

Shen Yichen's order came out, and all the officers and soldiers behind him, the Ministry of Rites, and the officials of Honglu Temple were all stunned, they followed the order to serve as honor guards and maintain order, and now they have become "law enforcement" soldiers and horses, and the object is still the Prince of Daming.

More importantly, although the Ministry of War has nominal power to transfer troops, it does not have the actual right to command troops. Even if the governor's office of the five armies is now declining, and the military department is gradually integrating the deployment and command of troops, the leaders of the troops have to come up with a paper to transfer orders.

"Shen Ge is afraid that he won't be able to finish the game, so he rushed to the hospital in a hurry, and he wants to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities and the defenders of Dongzhimen in such a voice?"

Yang Xing, the secretary of Honglu Temple, couldn't help but mutter, these soldiers and horses must say who has the right to rule now, then there is no doubt that it is Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, after all, he was authorized to bring it over.

Hu Hu listened to Yang Xing's words, watching all this coldly, to be honest, he didn't believe that Shen Yichen could call on the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities and the defenders of the Dongzhimen of the Beijing Division with an order.

But the next scene subverted Hu Hui's cognition, as a high-ranking central civil official, he could never understand the value of fighting side by side with soldiers on the battlefield, which is the trust that can entrust his back with his life.

"Ma Guangxu, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, obey the orders of the old Shen Pavilion!"

A deep voice sounded, and Ma Guangxu, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, led the officers and soldiers who were originally serving as honor guards and maintaining order, and surrounded the palace guards.

Especially when he passed by Shen Yichen's side, he respectfully clasped his fists and saluted, and that respectful attitude was not at all like a temporary call.

What many people don't know is that in fact, as early as the food crisis in Jingtai in the first year of Jingtai, Ma Guangxu once listened to Shen Yichen's call, and in the name of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, under the leadership of Han Bin and Feng Zheng, the grain shops of the powerful people in Beijing were seized by one family.

At that time, Ma Guangxu couldn't believe that Shen Yichen's sentence was all the responsibility for him, and he thought in his heart that he would be in a catastrophe this time, and he would be abandoned as a scapegoat in the end. But under the eaves, people had to bow their heads, so they could only lead the troops to seal the Jingshi grain store.

As a result, what Ma Guangxu never expected was that Shen Yichen really withstood all the resistance, and not only did he not suffer any accountability afterwards, but on the contrary, he also had an unparalleled reputation among the people of Beijing, and was regarded as a great hero who saved Li Min.

More than two years have passed, and Ma Guangxu has never forgotten the praise and the grateful gaze.

He knew very well in his heart that what the people should really be grateful to was not himself, but Shen Yichen!

Now that he finally has the opportunity to repay Shen Ge Lao, and he still obeys orders again under him, how can the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division have a trace of hesitation?

"Tan Jinguang, the guard of Dongzhi Gate, obey the orders of the old Shen Ge."

With the actions of the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the defenders of Dongzhimen were also mobilized.

For the guard Tan Jinguang, Shen Yichen may not have the slightest impression, but the other party has never forgotten him.

The reason is that Tan Jinguang was a member of Zhu Qizhen's pro-expeditionary army of Ming Yingzong, and he was lucky to survive the battle of Tumubao, and it was Shen Yichen who led the reinforcements to arrive, allowing him and his brothers to return to Beijing from the grassland.

And for Tan Jinguang, Shen Yichen brought him not only his life, but also took the initiative to attack the Wanquan Left Guard Cang occupied by the Tartars in the Xuanda Defense Line, and won back his dignity as a military general!

The soldiers and horses of the five cities and the defenders of Dongzhimen added up to nearly 2,000 people, and cooperated with the Jinyi guards under Zhao Hongjie to besiege the three kings. Compared with the palace guards who have entered Kuma and put Nanshan in the feudal country over the years, most of the soldiers and horses of these two armies have actually participated in the war with the Tartars, and they have seen blood on the battlefield, and their momentum is not at the same level at all.

The appearance of this situation made Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who was standing on the side, even have a trace of fear in his heart. Only at this moment did he really understand why Shen Yichen dared to unscrupulously tell himself that King Zhu had such an amazing prestige among the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division.

In the absence of a holy decree and an order from the Ministry of War, you can directly call on two completely different systems of soldiers and horses!

"Yang Honglu, I beg you to hurry up and enter the palace to inform Your Majesty of what happened in Dongzhimen, and confirm whether the old man of the Sinking Pavilion has any holy oracles."

Shen Yichen's prestige has completely exceeded Hu Hui's imagination, and the only reasonable explanation he can find is that the emperor behind him controls everything, otherwise this appeal will have the hidden danger of becoming a powerful minister.

For the civil official group, Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, has shown the trend of being a powerful minister, if one more Shen Yichen is added, then the future Ming court will be completely reduced to a warrior country, and what he was most worried about back then will finally happen.

"Yes, Uncle Zong."

Yang Xing, the Qing of Honglu Temple, hurriedly surrendered his order, and it was true that the development of the situation in front of him was out of control, and he had to play the emperor to get the next holy message.

Shen Yichen didn't know the psychological state of Hu Hu and Yang Xing, or even if he knew, he wouldn't take it as the same thing at the moment.

After all, the civilian clique dared to attack the current crown prince Zhu Jianji, proving that they also have no scruples for the sake of power, officialdom is the law of big fish eating small fish, and they must show enough strength to deter the other party from daring to attack themselves.

Looking at the three kings who were surrounded by heavy pressures, Shen Yichen this time set his eyes on the most irritable Zhao King Zhu Zhanyan, and said: "King Zhao, the lower officials know that you only have a more impulsive personality, but in fact, you don't have any ambition to resist the law and seek rebellion. ”

"As the saying goes, once you make a mistake, you will be hated for eternity, and the lower officials can't bear to see King Zhao go astray, whether they choose to fight to the end or choose to stay out of the matter, just between King Zhao's thoughts."

Shen Yichen's arrest of the three kings was also walking a tightrope in a sense, and if there was really a large-scale conflict, it would be difficult for him to confess to Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu afterwards. There is no choice but to use the method of division and disintegration, starting with the persuasion of King Zhao, who has not been charged with "crimes".

As long as one of the kings breaks through the psychological defense, the other two kings will inevitably be caught.

Sure enough, after hearing Shen Yichen's words, a shaken look appeared on the face of Zhao Wang Zhu Zhanyan instantly. You must know that unlike King Xiang and King Lu, one person has vital interests, and the other person has a blood feud with Shen Yichen.

King Zhao was purely simple-minded, and after being fooled by King Xiang's letter, he chose to attack the Hajj together in a hot head, hoping to pressure the emperor to cancel the "Zong Fan Regulations".

As a result, who would have thought that Shen Yichen would be able to stubble to such a point, if he didn't bow his head and compromise, if he really met with the defenders of the Beijing Division, he would not be able to get rid of the charge of rebellion.

When the Han King Zhu Gaoxu rebelled and rebelled, King Zhao, who was also a descendant of Emperor Taizong, can be said to be fresh in his memory. The nine sons of the royal family were all killed by Ming Xuanzong in various ways, and the ruthless means of destroying the door were even worse than those of the Xuanwu Gate back then.

Zhao Wang Zhu Zhanyan didn't dare to bet, if Zhu Qiyu would do the same thing today, after all, how the Emperor Zhu Qizhen died, everyone in the world knows!

Seeing the hesitant look on King Zhao's face, King Xiang next to him knew that his heart was shaken, so he hurriedly stopped: "Brother Wang, don't listen to Shen Yichen's nonsense, he is nothing more than a bluff now, and he definitely doesn't dare to really do it." ”

"Really? King Xiang. ”

Almost at the moment when Xiangwang Zhu Zhandong's words fell, Shen Yichen muttered in response, and then slowly pulled out the iconic embroidered spring knife from Zhao Hongjie's waist next to him.

In an instant, Shen Yichen's murderous aura was surging, and it was like a substance, which made people feel that kind of coldness!

"This king's loyalty to the court and His Majesty can be seen by the sun and the moon, and there is absolutely no rebellion or disrespect."

After saying that, King Zhao turned his head to the guard beside him and ordered: "Zhao Wangfu honor guard, put down the sword." ”

This is the essence of the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to wait until the end of the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period, and the blood and courage have long been lost after generations of pigs. No matter how tough you are on the surface, you still can't hide the cowardice in your heart!

At the same time that King Zhao chose to "surrender", Zhu Taikan, the king of Lu, who was standing aside, shouted: "Shen Yichen, don't want to use the method of agitation to let this king fall for you, the guards of King Lu's mansion put down their swords, and this king will definitely go to His Majesty to seek justice." ”

If the surrender of King Zhao was still expected by Zhu Zhandong, the king of Xiang, King Lu surrendered so easily, it made him a little unbelievable, can he compromise and fear the revenge of killing his father?

Compared with King Xiang's accident, Shen Yichen expected that if Zhu Taikan, the king of Lu, had the courage to break the net, he would not have chosen to be captured when he led his troops to besiege King Lu's mansion.

Cowards, all your life!

"King Xiang, are you still ready to resist?"

Shen Yichen carried the embroidered spring knife and walked in front of King Xiang step by step, and all the guards of the palace retreated in fear, and the answer was actually self-evident.

"That's it, this king admits it, but Shen Yichen, you wait, this king will definitely ...... in front of His Majesty."

Xiangwang Zhu Zhandong's face was full of resentment, and he wanted to say a few cruel words in front of everyone to save his own face.

It's just that Shen Yichen won't give him this opportunity, as the saying goes, if you are sick, how can it be your turn to pretend to be forced.

Very crisply, he waved his big hand and shouted: "Take it!" ”
