Chapter 897: Heavy rain in Yangcheng

In the Wind Pavilion from all sides, Zhu Zhen watched the heavy rain fall on the pond, splashing countless ripples.

"Actually, Zhu Liangzu is also deceiving me, but unfortunately he is still not bold enough, he only dares to talk about those Guangdong tyrants, and he doesn't dare to mention himself." He touched his chin, which was starting to stubble, and said with a wry smile:

"If he puts on a posture of breaking the net and says that he will rebel with the local tyrants in Guangdong, this king will really worry that they will arrest me and exchange it for pardon by the court."

"But he never dared to say that, so I knew that he didn't have the courage to rebel at all, so I could safely bluff him."

"It's different, Your Highness just bluffs him as much as he wants, and it doesn't matter how ruthless he is. But if he dares to rebel, he may be able to change His Highness and give in for a while, but it will cause endless troubles. Dao Tong understands Zhu Liangzu's mentality better.

In his eyes, His Royal Highness and the Emperor are one, and saying that kind of thing to His Royal Highness is tantamount to declaring to the Emperor that he wants to rebel. Isn't that death? Death-free tickets won't save him. ”

"Makes sense." Zhu Zhen nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that this is not a fair showdown. ”

"At the end of the day, he's not completely hopeless." Daotong was a little depressed and said: "His family's iron coupon can save him from two deaths, and one son from death, people still have hope." ”

"Is it really possible to avoid death?" Zhu Zhen shook his head and said lightly: "Why was Liao Yongzhong useless at the beginning? ”

"......" The corners of Daotong's mouth twitched, and his heart said that he had to ask your father.

Zhu Liangzu returned to the General's Mansion, and He Di had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Hou Ye coming back like a chicken in the soup, He Di hurriedly got up to greet him and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, the talk collapsed?" ”

Zhu Liangzu waved his hand, sat down on the main seat, took the handkerchief presented by his own soldiers, and silently wiped the rain on his face, head and neck.

"You go back and talk to them, and let them hand them over tomorrow." After a long time, Zhu Liangzu slowly spoke.

"Huh?" He Di looked at Yongjiahou in surprise, although he covered his face with a handkerchief, he could still see that he was cowardly.

"Ahh Zhu Liangzu said in a sullen voice.

"I heard it clearly, but Master Hou, how can you promise King Chu?" He Di said with a look of disbelief: "Let's talk about advancing and retreating together!" As long as we twist into a rope, what can he do to us? ”

"Messing with you? That is in the hands of the sixth child! Zhu Liangzu tore off the handkerchief, revealing a hideous face and said:

"He will go out and replace Ben Hou, let his people take command, and order the 100,000 army to turn around and quell the rebellion, with your materials, can you withstand it?!"

"Can he replace Master Hou?" He Di couldn't believe it.

"I don't believe what others say, but who is he, he is the king of Chu!" Zhu Liangzu patted the table and said: "The emperor and the crown prince obey him and treat him as a henchman!" If he is willing to force the emperor to choose one of the two, how do you say the emperor will choose? ”

"Wouldn't it be okay to transfer him away?" He Di was puzzled: "Lao Tzu can still let his son hold him hostage?" ”

"What if Lao Tzu's whole family is raised by this son?" Zhu Liangzu asked rhetorically.

"Uh......" He Di was speechless.

"Actually, I'm not sure if he's bluffing me, or if he's really trying to break the net." Zhu Liangzu said in a deep voice: "But I don't dare to bet, because I know this kind of second ancestor too well, if you really fight with him to the end, he will definitely fight with you desperately." ”

He Di couldn't help nodding, not only did Zhu Liangzu have a second ancestor in his family, but he also had a second ancestor in his family. It's really like what Yongjiahou said, you must not compete with them, otherwise they will be able to do anything as soon as they get up.

"Let's do it," Zhu Liangzu sighed and said: "It's not all for nothing today, at least I know that as long as I hand them over, the King of Chu will not lift the table." ”

"It's hard to do...... "He Di is like eating a fly, if each family is willing to hand over people, why do they have to make trouble in such a field?" Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read...... If those great patriarchs handed over all the people, it would cause strong dissatisfaction among the clan. ”

"If it's hard, it's going to be done!" Zhu Liangzu had already made up his mind, and he would not die and be poor: "When the army comes down, the initiative will return to the hands of Benhou, and then I have a way to let the King of Chu release him!" ”

"Can you let each family pay a portion at their discretion?" He Di asked flexibly.

"Deliver it all, and hand over part of it for a bird? It's not you who squirts the emotional sixth child?! Zhu Liangzu said angrily: "Ben Hou has long said that you Guangdong tyrants are too shallow, only staring at your own one-third of an acre of land, and seeing your own affairs bigger than the sky. ”

Saying that, he raised his voice, pointed to the north and said: "Don't look at what the whole world is like today, the emperor expelled the Tartars, restored China, worked hard, cultivated and armed, my Ming national strength is strong, chasing the Han and Tang Dynasties, where is there a place for a country within a country?!" ”

"If you make another mistake, don't blame Ben Hou for turning his face and being ruthless, and he was ordered to exterminate you!" Zhu Liangzu knew that if he didn't say anything, these stubborn Guangdong tyrants would still be lucky.

"Master Hou, we are grasshoppers on a rope...... Seeing that he wanted to draw a clear line, He Di was anxious.

"I know." Zhu Liangzu said in a sullen voice: "But the iron coupon to avoid death will inevitably rebel, you insist on confronting the imperial court, and Benhou can only choose the lesser of two evils." ”

"......" Seeing that Zhu Liangzu had been completely stunned, what else could He Di say. If you say too much, you will only completely tear the dough.

He could only sigh and shake his head, and leave.

When he got out of the general's mansion and got into the car, He Di couldn't help but take a sip and said in a low voice: "The shaft is not enough and the plan is not enough." ”

~~

He Di broke the defense, mainly because he was worried, he didn't know how to talk to those Guangdong tyrants. Let them hand over their children, how can such words be said by him?

The carriage slowed down the street for a long time, and He Di finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind, knocked on the carriage and ordered, "Go to my eldest brother's house." ”

The coachman turned the car around and drove towards He Fu outside Xiguan.

He Zhen was dressed in a Confucian robe, and was leisurely stroking the piano in the study with cigarette smoke, and the sound of the piano and rain converged, and the whole world seemed to be quiet.

Until He Di's heavy footsteps broke the silence, He Zhen frowned, pressed the strings and sighed to his younger brother who walked in: "Why did you know today? ”

"Big brother knows?" He Di was stunned.

"I don't know, it's just that you've got it all written on your face." He Zhen shook his head and asked, "Is it that things are different from what you expected?" ”

"Yes." He Di nodded dejectedly, told the eldest brother what had happened in the past few days, and sighed at the end: "I didn't expect that Chen Boyun and them, whether they were Yongjiahou, they all became so timid, and they all shrank their eggs in front of the King of Chu. ”

"It's not that they've become timid, it's that the way of the world has changed." He Zhen pointed to the second brother with a frustrated face and said: "Only you are still obsessed, don't hit the south wall and don't look back......"
