Chapter 370: On the Eve of Negotiations
As soon as Xiao Jin's words fell, Zhu Neng couldn't help but say angrily: "How can this be reasonable, actually let my prince go to Dongchang City to negotiate?
Isn't this the equivalent of a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? Why didn't you say that the emperor would go to Beiping City to negotiate with my prince?
Zhu Di knew that Zhu Neng's words were all for his good, so he didn't blame, just waved his hand and said softly, "Shihong must not be rude, and he should not retreat quickly.
Zhu Neng is a pure martial artist, he writes everything on his face, and he doesn't dare to disobey Zhu Di's orders, so he can only retreat to the side angrily.
Zhu Di also squinted at Xiao Jin, and this look made Xiao Jin hairy. After a long time, I heard Zhu Di speak: "If that kid Zhang Lu wants this king to die, just say it, why let this king go to Dongchang City to throw himself into the net?
The king admits that the kid is indeed a little clever, but there is no need for the kid to take the king for a fool.
Xiao Jin bowed to Zhu Di and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan has made great achievements in battle, and he is really a hero, and my family has no intention of despising His Highness.
Zhu Di disdainful, "It's not like Zhang Lu's kid can say this, if he really looks at this king like this, he won't have to say anything to this king in the first place."
Xiao Jin didn't know how to answer, so he skipped the topic directly and pulled the topic back to the topic, "Dongchang Mansion is not too suitable for negotiation, my lord is willing to empty the defenders of Dongchang Mansion, then the city gate will be opened, my lord will take the court lords to wait for King Yan at the head of the city, and King Yan's soldiers and horses and the soldiers and horses of the court can wait from outside the city, the position of the city tower is quite high, the soldiers of the three armies can be used as witnesses, if His Royal Highness is really in any danger, the Yan army can also see clearly, and send troops to the rescue."
In fact, this suggestion is not reasonable, Dongchang Mansion is now the territory of the imperial court after all, if the imperial court arranges some manpower in the city, or makes some preparations in advance, then Zhu Di will be very passive.
Seeing Zhu Di's hesitation, Xiao Jin opened his mouth again: "Now Your Majesty governs the country with benevolence and filial piety." That's all he said.
Zhu Di instantly understood, no matter whether the negotiation went smoothly or not, Zhu Yunwen would definitely not harm his life, otherwise how would Zhu Yunwen block the mouths of the people in the world?
harmed the life of his uncle, how can he talk about benevolence and filial piety? In fact, Zhu Di really doesn't have many options now, either negotiate peace, or die.
Dead knock looks more free, but now, Zhu Di himself feels that he has no certainty of winning, and continuing to die is nothing more than more people dying.
And once the negotiation is successful, his subordinates will probably be able to have a proper settlement, and only himself and his family will be restricted from freedom in the Yan army, but at least their lives will be safe.
If you think about it, it seems that the negotiation is better. After pondering for a moment, Zhu Di nodded and said to Xiao Jin: "This king knows, you go back and tell that kid Zhang Lu that tomorrow afternoon, this king will go to Dongchang City to negotiate!"
Hearing this, Zhu Neng couldn't hold back any longer, even if he was punished by something, he still had to persuade him to dissuade him.
"Please think twice!" Zhu Neng said, and knelt on one knee. Zhu Di slowly closed his eyes, waved his sleeves slightly, and said, "This king has made up his mind!
Xiao Jin arched his hand towards Zhu Di and retreated, he wanted to bring the news back. It was only when he came out of the tent that he exhaled heavily.
Just now in the tent, although he talked freely, but he was also very scared in his heart, after all, this is an enemy camp, in case of upsetting people, they directly chop themselves and feed them to the dogs, and they have no place to reason.
In the tent, Zhu Neng was still persuading: "Don't fall into the trap of the prince." After speaking, he also glanced at Zhang Yu a few times.
Zhang Yu was also furious, and directly pointed at Zhu Neng and said, "Zhu Neng! You have deceived too much!" Zhu Nengyi was not afraid, and said, "When I just learned that Zhang Lu was already the commander of the Jinyi Guard, your eyes full of joy couldn't stop it, and your uncle and nephew must be complicit, what else do you have to say?"
Zhang Yu looked around, and the soldiers in the tent were all looking at him with suspicion. He couldn't help but secretly say badly, after learning about Zhang Lu's current official position, he was happy from the bottom of his heart, but he was too happy at that time, his facial expression was not controlled, and his joy was written on his face.
But the conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't collude with Zhang Lu for anything. Zhang Yu snorted coldly and said, "Tomorrow, I will give an explanation to the prince and all my colleagues!"
After speaking, he saluted Zhu Di again and said, "The last general will retire first." Zhu Di didn't stop him, if Zhang Yu was allowed to stay here, maybe the crowd would do something drastic.
Looking at the back of Zhang Yu leaving, Zhu Neng snorted coldly again: "I think he is weak-hearted!" The other generals in the tent also began to talk word by word, expressing their distrust of Zhang Yu.
Zhu Di on the throne waved his hand and said, "The generals don't need to say any more, let's go back to the camp first, since the king has made a decision, he will not change it, and the king of tomorrow will go to Dongchang City and meet with Zhang Chen's kid for a while!"
Outside Zhu Di's tent, a man dressed as a sergeant smiled evilly, he gently pressed the brim of his helmet, and turned away.
......What did you say?" In the Dongchang City Mansion, General Pingyan Sheng Yong couldn't help but shoot the case.
Since Sheng Yong brought people from Hangzhou City, he didn't know the news of the Daimyo's Mansion. In order to better sort out the form, Zhang Lu told the story of the military rations of the Daimyo's Mansion being burned.
Sheng Yong asked this question. Now that things have happened, what else can Zhang Lu say? He could only speak out and say, "Don't be angry, general.
Sheng Yong's temperament has always been straightforward, and many times, he will not hide his emotions, he slapped his palm on the table again, and his mouth couldn't help but say angrily: "It's really unreasonable!
Can he not be angry? The most indispensable thing for marching and fighting is grain and grass, but the military rations on the front line were burned in this way.
If the war continues, it will inevitably be tied up in his command of the battle, and the balance of victory will most likely be tilted in favor of the Yan army because of this matter.
In addition, Zhu Di is also likely to use this incident to increase his bargaining chips in the negotiations. The more Sheng Yong thought about it, the more angry he became, but then he seemed to think of something, he asked Zhang Yuan, "This is not right, the Yan army is being targeted by me, but whenever there is a disturbance on their side, I know very well, I can be sure that the Yan army will never bypass me and sneak attack the Daimyo's mansion."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "General Huiyan, as far as I know, it was not the Yan army that burned the grain and grass.
"Not Yan Jun?" Sheng Yong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who else could it be if it wasn't Yan Jun?" Zhang Lu replied directly, "It should be the Cao Gang.
Hearing this, Sheng Yong obviously had an expression of disbelief, "Cao Gang? As far as I know, there are many places where the Cao Gang cooperates with the imperial court, and burning the grain and grass of the imperial court will do all kinds of harm to the Cao Gang but not any benefit, why did the Cao Gang do this?
Zhang Zhen shook his head lightly to indicate that he didn't know, but he still said, "Although I don't know why, there is no doubt that this should be the Cao Gang's doing, and the Cao Gang's gang leader Li Zhenjun has been in the Daimyo's Mansion recently, which is probably not a coincidence.
I'm afraid that this matter will have to trouble the lord to give the court a handwritten letter, after all, the court and the Cao Gang have a very close relationship, and His Majesty must pay more attention, but if it is not possible, the Criminal Department can ask questions, and the Cao Gang leader Li Zhenjun is directly wanted.
The Cao Gang did have close contacts with the imperial court, and many of the goods of the imperial court, even salt and iron, were transported by the Cao Gang.
It can be said that the current Cao Gang is undoubtedly the imperial businessman. Then the Cao Gang and the imperial court have become a community of interests, belonging to both prosperity and loss.
According to normal thinking, the Cao Gang has no reason to betray the imperial court. As for the Cao Gang secretly colluding with Zhu Di, this possibility is not very likely, after all, now that the court is powerful, Li Zhenjun will not collude with Zhu Di at this time if he has a little brain.
In other words, even if Zhu Di becomes the emperor in the future, there will not necessarily be more people who can give Li Zhenjun and the Cao Gang than now.
So Li Zhenjun can't afford to take such a risk. Although Zhang Zhen still couldn't figure out these things, in line with the principle of prudence, it was still indispensable to arrest Li Zhenjun for interrogation.
What's more, Jiang Zhen also said in the bag that Zhao Shannan and his subordinates are hiding a lot of secrets. This made Li Zhenjun's suspicion even heavier.
Sheng Yong was also extremely cautious, he nodded, and then agreed to Zhang Yuan's request. "Don't hesitate, I'll write a note here, and I'll make the court careful of the Cao Gang.
」…… With less than a day to go until the negotiations, everyone seems to have their own things to do.
Zhu Di closed his eyes and pretended to sleep in the military tent, trying to adjust himself to the best state. Sheng Yong is working hard to write a book, and he wants to report the matter of the Cao Gang and Li Zhenjun to the court and the emperor.
Zhang Yu looked up at the sky, as if he had made some major decision. Zhang Zhen racked his brains, still thinking about more things.
The last day seemed to be particularly difficult, and time passed very slowly. Everyone's mind is constantly flipping, and no one knows what the outcome of tomorrow's negotiations will be, and what will be everyone's fate.
Until the night quietly came, many people ushered in another sleepless night...... The next day, I had breakfast.
The Yan army and the southern army outside Dongchang City moved at the same time, and the two soldiers and horses marched towards Dongchang City together, until the eve of noon, which was worthy of reaching Dongchang City.
Although the Yan army and the southern army were on guard, they both maintained sufficient restraint, after all, those soldiers at the bottom really didn't want to fight.
Under the service of many people, Zhu Di put on the armor that Zhu Yuanzhang gave him at the beginning. As long as this armor is on his body, no one dares to hurt him.
Night rivers and lakes. (After reading it, remember to bookmark it for next time!)
