Chapter Seventy-Two: Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people

"Zhu Xiyuan has been captured! Don't you surrender quickly! ”

Zhu Di carried Zhu Xiyuan with one hand, and shouted loudly at the bewildered Xuancheng soldiers around him on horseback.

The soldiers under his command also raised their weapons and shouted.

"Surrender! Surrender! Surrender! ”

Bursts of indecisive surrender resounded through Xuancheng.

This made the soldiers guarding the city gate all confused.

What happened?

Wasn't it your own people who just rushed in?

Why did you suddenly attack the prefect? Could it be infighting?

Because the chief soldier of the Navy Division does not like the prefect? So send troops to attack Xuancheng?

I looked at the soldiers around me who were still indifferent, or rather, their expressions had not changed from beginning to end.

couldn't help but make Zhu Di sigh.

"It's not a loss that I saw the city under the rule of the first loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, even the soldiers are so loyal~"

"You're good."

Zhu Di said to Zhu Xiyuan, who he easily picked up.

is not yellow, Zhu Xiyuan's stunned expression at this moment.

Directly to the soldiers around him, he shouted: "Those who surrender will not die!"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the field.

Then I don't know who put down the weapon with a "clang", and the sound of this sound is like magic.

One by one, the soldiers began to lay down their weapons.

Although some of them are still in a state of stupidity, completely unaware of what is happening.

But their hands seemed to have a memory, and they subconsciously put down the weapons in their hands.

And one by one squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.

This magical scene spread in an instant, and in a moment.

There were no more soldiers from Ning Guofu who could continue to stand at the gate of the city.

Zhu Di, who saw this scene, breathed a sigh of relief.

What he fears most is that these soldiers will continue to resist stubbornly, so that although it will not change the outcome.

But it can bring them a lot of trouble to settle in Xuancheng.

Now they choose to follow the trend, which is also so that he doesn't have to go on a killing spree.

Then Zhu Di asked people to go through these troops, and if they could be absorbed, they would be included, and those who could not be included would be let go home.

And let Xu Jiaying and Ding Ruzhang take over the granary and armory at the city gate.

After explaining the matter, Zhu Di carried Zhu Xiyuan all the way to the door of the mansion.

And here, there is already a group of people waiting for him.

"See Your Majesty." xN

"Alas~, you are all officials, how can you be called grass people, this is not appropriate."

Zhu Di looked at this group of people, although he said so.

But there was a wild roll of eyes in my heart.

A group of thousand-year-old foxes still put this aside to test him.

When he didn't know, was it a test of his promise to them.

"Yes, yes, it's that the lower officials were a little confused just now, and they forgot that His Majesty had given us officials."

Cao Ding took the lead and said with a smile.

He was followed by a group of officials and gentry, and the same was true.

"Cao Ding ??!!!"

"Aren't you in prison by me?!!"

"How can you still come out?!!!"

At this time, Zhu Xiyuan, who was standing on the side, was shocked.

He had just gotten dizzy from the bumps on horseback, and his head was clouded.

I don't care who listens to whom.

As soon as Zhu Di stopped the horse, he immediately turned over and vomited.

After he finished vomiting, he found out that the leader of this group of flatterers of King Yongming was actually Cao Ding, who had been imprisoned by him a long time ago!!

"Hehe, Lord Prefect, I have already told you about my humble position."

"You can't lock me up."

Cao Ding looked at Zhu Xiyuan and smiled slightly.

Zhu Xiyuan, who heard this, looked at Cao Ding, and then at the officials and gentry behind him.

Suddenly everything understood.

It turns out that this group of people has already planned how to surrender!

It's ridiculous that he still thinks about how to appease this group of people after Cao Ding is imprisoned.

Unexpectedly, people have abandoned themselves a long time ago!

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiyuan's face turned pale.

There is such a group of people in Ningguo Mansion, and they can't hold it no matter what!!

And at this moment, Cao Ding suddenly took out something.

said to Zhu Xiyuan.

"Oh, yes."

"Lord Prefect, this thing was given to me by a subordinate of the lowly position, looking at its contents, it seems to be yours of the Prefect, right?"

Hearing this, Zhu Xiyuan was slightly stunned.

When I looked at it, it was actually a recital he had written!!

As soon as this recital appeared, Zhu Xiyuan was completely shocked.

He obviously handed over the fold to his cronies who had followed him for many years, how could it appear in Cao Ding's hands now.

Could it be that he is also Cao Ding's person???

At this moment, Zhu Xiyuan was completely stunned.

If even his cronies are Cao Ding's people, then who else in the entire Ning Guofu can really be trusted.

I'm afraid there aren't any, right?

Zhu Xiyuan, who was devastated, scolded him directly.

"You are a bunch of disloyal and unrighteous people who are untrustworthy and untrustworthy, what a bunch of pigs and dogs are not as good as them!"

"Phi Qi Niang's !!"

"Hahaha......"

In the face of Zhu Diyuan's angry scolding, Cao Ding and others not only had no anger.

Instead, he burst out laughing.

It was as if Zhu Xiyuan was saying something ridiculous.

After laughing for a while, it was Cao Ding who took the lead in speaking.

"Lord Prefect, I thought that you had been in Ningguo Mansion for a year and a half, so you should know the situation of Daming."

"But how can you make such childish words?"

Cao Ding said with a slight mockery in his tone.

"How can we be disloyal and unrighteous and unkind? Don't we have allegiance to the Ming now? ”

"Didn't we continue to be loyal to the Ming Emperor?"

"You!! You!! You ......"

As soon as Zhu Xiyuan was told this, he immediately didn't know how to refute it.

Because at this moment, Cao Ding and others are indeed still continuing to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that this Da Ming is different from another Da Ming.

This kind of weird remarks made him unable to find a problem for a while!

"Look, sir, even you think so, don't you?"

Cao Ding continued to stimulate Zhu Xiyuan.

"At best, we're just turning away from darkness and turning to light."

"Besides, is the puppet emperor in Nanjing really King Fu himself?"

"Just like Your Majesty said, maybe he's already dead!"

"Now sitting on the throne of the Ming Dynasty is just a puppet who was pushed up by Ma Shiying and others casually."

Not only Zhu Xiyuan was stunned, but even Zhu Di was amazed.

Sure enough, when every dynasty reaches the end of its life, there will be a lot of demons.

This kind of blatant telling the emperor, if it was placed in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, would have been sentenced to the nine clans.

However, although Cao Ding's words were a bit bold, this was exactly what Zhu Di wanted to hear.

With a wave of his hand, people will be taken down by Zhu Xiyuan, who was unable to speak.

Zhu Di then said to Cao Ding and the others.

"What you just said is very much in line with my heart, and it is not until today that I have seen what my loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty are."

"It's teachable."

"Your Majesty overestimated me and waited, we are just saying a fair word."

"After all, justice is in people's hearts."

"Yes, justice is in the hearts of the people..."
