44. The deterrence of killing companions

"The prince is His Majesty's fourth uncle, and he must not rebel and be a traitor!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and Cheng Yuan also turned his head to look at Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi's face was pale, and he was about to die of anger.

Who wants to be called a traitor and rebel in front of the army, Zhu Laosi is unwilling, he followed the voice and looked over, only to see Zhang Fengyuan, the companion of the palace, shouting under the city.

This pedantic companion who has been in the Yanwang Mansion for several years is crying bitterly at this moment, and the literati's robe is stained with blood, kneeling on the ground like a lump of meat. Zhu Di is no stranger to such a scene, he had persuaded himself before reading this companion, but he was a companion of the palace and was unwilling to kill him.

At that time, he wanted to kill a long history, kill a civil official, and ask Zhu Yunwen who was sitting in Yingtian City for instructions, but now he is the king in the mouth of Yan Jun, and whoever he wants to kill is up to him.

Is this what it is like to be a king of oneself? Zhu Di was suddenly a little addicted, but he didn't start with his companion Zhang Fengyuan.

Zhang Fengyuan, the companion, misunderstood, he saw Zhu Di stunned, and thought that Zhu Di had followed his advice, so he shouted loudly and shouted, "The prince can't rebel, you can't be a traitor, the old man persuaded the prince to turn back."

That Zhang Yu and Xie Gui have forced you to a dead end, it has nothing to do with Your Majesty, the prince should go south to ask Your Majesty for guilt, Your Majesty is benevolent and filial, and will definitely let you go.

Lord Wang, if the first emperor knew that you raised troops like this, wouldn't you blame Your Highness? ”

"Zhu Gaochi, come out and explain!" Zhu's face was pale, and he stared at Zhu Gaochi fiercely, only to see that Zhu Gaochi was already pale, his mouth was open and closed, and his hands were trembling.

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu was happy, seeing his eldest brother being scolded by the old man, his heart blossomed, but he still stared at his companion Zhang Fengyuan below, listening to the rebel on the left and the rebel on the right.

"Lord Shizi, don't you persuade the prince to turn back?" Companion Zhang Fengyuan shouted Zhu Gaochi at the top of his voice.

The previous Yu Banyu was killed, but this time Zhang Fengyuan only stayed for a few years, and he began to talk nonsense again.

Zhu Gaochi was suddenly pushed to the forefront again, and he had to take the blame if he was not wrong, as for the others, they didn't dare to speak up at this time, and they couldn't figure out Zhu Di's temperament, how could they have the courage to stand up and speak.

At this time, Cheng Yuan spoke.

"Your Majesty is benevolent? Why did the Xiangwang family force no way out? Even the fetus in the womb for a few months is not spared, is this benevolence and filial piety? ”

"Your Majesty? When the first emperor died, no one was allowed to run to the funeral and be buried in a hurry, which is also the so-called benevolence and filial piety? Zhang Fengyuan: You're blind. ”

"Your Majesty is benevolent? You can't bet on other people's lives, the generals of the Yan Army who were present don't think about it. In addition to listening to civil officials, what benefits did he give to the people? A person is afraid that he will recognize the wrong lord, and he will act in vain, and regard the well-dressed beast hypocrite as the savior of the world. ”

Cheng Yuan said these words, but it touched Zhu Di's heart and the sore spot of other generals.

On this field, many of the defenders of Beiping City were once led by Zhu Di, and they also knew Zhu Di's personality.

But he didn't dare to stand up and say it.

Everyone else was silent, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng were angry, and so was Qiu Fu.

At this time, that Zhang Fengyuan walked a few steps to the city wall, and he scolded angrily: "Cheng Yuan, you bastard, instigated King Yan to raise troops, you are disrespectful to Your Majesty and slander Your Majesty."

You should kneel in Beijing, kowtow to Your Majesty and admit your mistakes, you are a thief, you are the biggest thief! ”

Zhu Gaochi dragged his body downstairs. Zhu Gaoxu followed closely behind, kicked Zhang Fengyuan directly, and scolded: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, Lao Tzu will slash you with a knife." ”

"Kill Zhang Fengyuan!"

"Kill him!"

The tidal shouts of the generals below converged on Zhang Fengyuan's ears, pointing at Zhu Gaoxu and Cheng Yuan, and they scolded: "You vulgar embryos, you actually bewitched King Yan to rebel, you gathered people to rebel, and you must not die well." ”

"Cheng Yuan, Your Majesty will definitely punish your nine clans."

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, he now has the power of life and death, right?

Not yet.

He had to conform to the hearts of the people.

"yes, then I'll kill you first." Cheng Yuan picked up the bow and arrow of the soldier next to him, aimed it at Zhang Fengyuan, and pierced his heart with an arrow.

"Good kill!" Zhu Neng shouted.

Zhu Gaoxu felt that it was not enjoyable, so he gave Zhang Fengyuan another knife and slashed hard, and Zhang Fengyuan was directly angry.

Zhu Di stood next to him, watching Cheng Yuan shoot Zhang Fengyuan, a little relieved, but he turned his head to look at Cheng Yuan, and said in a low voice: "Boy, I don't want you to be infamous on your back, this is my righteous anger!" ”

Cheng Yuan smiled, he was bound to do some amazing reforms in the future, and he would be ridiculed and scolded by more people, he was not afraid.

Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, was wearing a battle armor, his eyes were red with some excitement, and he shouted loudly with all his might:

"Fengtian is difficult, this king will definitely avenge you." Zhu Bai thought of the relatives who died for him and the concubine, and the snot and tears were all in his eyes at the moment.

"Drag Zhang Fengyuan down." Zhu Di gave an order, Zhang Yu came over with a long sword and threw Zhang Fengyuan to the side like dragging a dead chicken.

"No, hang him up."

Zhang Yu nodded, someone tied Zhang Fengyuan with a horse rope and hung it on the flagpole, and the generals present were all happy.

"Good kill! Happy, just do it. ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi, he was already pale with fright, his companion was dead, and he insulted Mr. Cheng and the old man, and he didn't know what to do.

Zhu Gaochu accused Zhu Gaochi of not being strictly guarded by his subordinates.

Zhu Laosi turned a blind eye and let Zhu Gaochu scold Zhu Gaochi.

Just a few months ago, he was afraid that the old and young people of the palace would suffer with him, and he even thought about pretending to be sick.

At that time, he only hoped that His Majesty would be able to take back the order of the slashers, and they would just hand over the soldiers and horses in their hands.

It's a pity that his eldest nephew didn't let them go at all.

The twelfth brother Zhu Bai was also affected because of this.

If it weren't for Chengyuan and Jingxiang, I am afraid that Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang in the Ming Dynasty, would have to cut off his children and grandchildren.

Since no one wants to spare the vassal king's life.

Then let me do it!

If you think about it, you will do it, Zhu Di's decisive and ferocious side is also revealed, but he is also kind to everyone.

He's like a complex of contradictions.

Next, basically except for the hundreds of soldiers of the imperial court who died, the rest of the soldiers and horses laid down their arms and surrendered.

Even the imperial garrisons in other parts of Beiping Mansion came to surrender, willing to follow Zhu Di.

After a small war, Beiping City needed to be cleaned up and disturbed, and everyone pulled the dead soldiers to bury them outside the city.

Zhu Neng: They feel so cool.

On the second day, the people of Beiping Mansion did not lean too much towards anyone, and when they encountered disasters in these years, they were all caused by the earthquake caused by the porridge shed set up by Princess Yan Xu.

They were not impressed by the new emperor who was far away in Yingtian and had just ascended the throne. For the common people, whoever is good to them and gives them a stable life will be their savior.

When Xu Zengshou and Xu Miaojin heard the news that Cheng Yuan had brought back in Yanwang's Mansion, they were relieved in their hearts.

Xu Zengshou was also confused, he originally wanted to tell his brother-in-law that they were careful, but who knew that things were developing so fast.

Xu Miaojin didn't understand, and she couldn't understand why Brother Yunwen, who was usually elegant and peaceful, wanted to make a secret decree to cut down the Yan Palace, and if she resisted, the words that could be cut were repeated in her mind over and over again.

When she saw Cheng Yuan return to the other garden covered in blood and tell them that Beiping City had been captured, she was a little overwhelmed.

Cheng Yuan was entrusted by Zhu Laosi to come back and bring out Princess Yan and the others who were hiding in the cellar.

Princess Yan Xu is not a woman in the traditional sense, on the contrary, she was born in a military family and is familiar with poetry, books and history, so she has extraordinary courage and resourcefulness.

After such a big change, she still continued to deal with the affairs of the palace, which really made Cheng Yuan admire, and she was not called a female student in vain.

"Cheng is in charge, what about Xie Gui and Zhang Hao?" Xu Zengshou asked.

"They wanted to use a secret decree to get rid of King Yan, and they have already been killed." Cheng Yuan was taller than Xu Zengshou, and looked at him calmly at the moment.

Several daughters of the Xu family are married to the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, but the second brother-in-law Zhu Gui was demoted to a concubine by Zhu Yunwen, and now the eldest brother-in-law is about to be eliminated by the secret decree of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Zengshou is also on Zhu Di's side.

But now that Zhang Yu and Xie Gui have been killed, if the court knows. Will it implicate the Xu family in the capital, and his eldest brother will definitely kill his relatives without hesitation.

When the peach and plum draw branches, and the willow buds.

Zhang Yu and Xie Gui were killed, and the news of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, raising troops to settle the martyrdom reached Yingtianfu, and the capital was shaken.
