Chapter 156: Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger
Putting 100,000 soldiers and horses into Zhu Song's hands, this matter is actually beyond the scope of Princess Yan's decision, but Princess Yan resolutely agreed after hearing it.
"Okay, I'll tell your fourth brother, you personally return to Kaiyuan with the 100,000 troops of Beiping and take your wife and children over!"
Princess Yan said and stood up.
"The fourth sister-in-law won't bother, I'll go and talk to your fourth brother."
After bidding farewell to Princess Yan, Zhu Song returned to the house with a straight face, at this moment Zhu Song's face was pale, in his opinion, the fourth sister-in-law was understanding, and it was clear that this was the fourth brother's trick.
Zhu Song thought about Zhu Di too simply, it seems that Zhu Di still can't fully believe in himself, and if he doesn't hold his wife and children in his hands, he won't feel at ease.
If Zhu Song's guess is correct, after Princess Yan leaves her side hall, she will immediately find Zhu Di, or Zhu Di is near her side hall.
Sure enough, after Princess Yan left the small courtyard where Zhu Song was, she met King Yan who had been waiting for a long time at a corner on the periphery of the small courtyard.
"How? What did the twenty-brother say? ”
Princess Yan said with a somewhat unhappy expression.
"What else, of course the twentieth brother agreed, but the twentieth brother has one condition, if he goes to pick up his princess and his children, he can only lead the troops himself."
"I said, are you going to do that? If this matter is known to the twentieth brother, what will the second junior brother think of you? ”
Zhu Di looked at the princess and cried and laughed. Reached out and took the princess's hand and rubbed it.
"You can't blame me for this, princess, if the old twenty can trust me, the fourth brother, why don't you bring your wife and children over, why let me toss like this again?"
"I've been sleeping hard lately, and as soon as I close my eyes, I will dream that the twentieth child is holding a knife against my neck, forcing me to give up the throne to him, and I can dream that he is in the prime of life when I am dying, and if he raises an army to rebel by then, what will happen to me!"
Princess Yan sighed.
"If you start worrying about what will happen after you become the emperor now, it will be purely superfluous!"
"The road ahead is long, we are only winning a little bit now, the next is the most important thing, although we occupy the city of Dezhou, but the defenders of Jinan come to harass all day long, and it is still unknown whether Texas can hold it before spring."
"What's more, there is the Yangtze River Trench next, you haven't become the emperor yet, you start to doubt your brother, even if you really become the emperor, then he will be your courtier in the future, do you want to doubt him until the end from now on?"
"Or are you going to choose a reason to kill him after you ascend the throne, after all, he is a rebel just like you. You don't feel at ease with him alive! ”
Zhu Di didn't say a word after hearing this, of course, he didn't really have a mind, and planned to kill Zhu Song after he succeeded in the rebellion.
But to say that Zhu Di didn't have this thought, it was false, he had this thought, but when he found out that he would actually think about killing his own brother, Zhu Di was shocked into a cold sweat.
But Zhu Song rebelled, what was he for? Is it really like he said to find a way to live? Under Jianwen's hands, there may not be no way to live.
Zhu Di had no choice but to make such a decision because he couldn't understand the bottom of his heart, let his princess talk to Zhu Song, and let Zhu Song bring his wife and children to Beiping.
Maybe Zhu Song's wife and children are in Beiping City, which can make Zhu Di feel at ease.
"All the 100,000 troops were handed over to him, to be honest, this king didn't think this was a good arrangement, but this king felt that he would send this matter to Zhu Neng to do, and with Zhu Neng's ability, he would be able to protect his wife and children. As for him to stay in Peking for the time being, if I have any military affairs, I will consult with him. ”
After Princess Yan heard this, she stopped in an instant and pulled her hand out of King Yan's hand.
"For you, I have shown my old face as a sister-in-law, the twenty brothers have a great kindness to our family, not only have we not repaid it, but now we are still suspicious of him all day long."
"If you really think that you are an elder brother, an uncle, and an emperor in the future, then you should show a little tolerance! If the twenty-brother really abandons you and is unwilling to help you, how can he risk the world's disapproval? How could it be difficult to follow you to Fengtianjing, Qingjun's side? ”
"If you really do this, it will make the people of the world look down on you, and the little bit of people's support that you finally got will be squandered by you."
King Yan saw that the princess was really angry, and hurriedly apologized.
"The princess is wrong, since he wants to pick up the old twenty in person, then I will send 100,000 soldiers, no, I will send 150,000 soldiers and horses, you are right, people mainly have a heart."
Princess Yan saw that King Yan finally relented, and she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Two days later, Zhu Song set foot on the road to Kaiyuan, led half of the military horses in Beiping, and sure enough, as Zhu Di expected, the scouts on the grassland immediately turned back after detecting that Beiping sent 150,000 soldiers and horses, and there was no shadow at all, and it is estimated that the tribes on the grassland have now begun to prepare to migrate north.
Maybe the tribes on the grassland can't figure out why the Ming Dynasty is in such civil strife now, but the frontier is still so stable, which is really beyond their understanding.
This time, when I returned to Kaiyuan, I was bumped into by the wandering army on the grassland.
Half a month later, Zhu Song saw Kaiyuan City again, and I have to say that Kaiyuan City is still the same Kaiyuan City, but Zhu Song understands that he will come back less and less often in the future, maybe this is the last time.
Zhu Song rode on a horse to face the wind and snow, looked at the fertile land around Kaiyuan City, sighed, and regretted participating in the Battle of Jingjing, even if he didn't do anything, according to the original development, King Yan would also win the world.
After King Yan took the world, he didn't do anything, he would still be moved from outside the gate to the inside of the pass, and there was nothing wrong with being an idle prince, but he wanted to be nosy, and now he is in such a situation.
But thinking about it like this, Zhu Song felt a little unwilling, since he had crossed over, since he wanted to add icing on the cake to the original Ming Dynasty, since he wanted to solve the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty and completely strangled the later dangerous factors in the cradle, then he couldn't do anything about himself and hang high.
But the old saying that a companion is like a tiger is too accurate, and now Zhu Di is not the emperor, if he ascends the throne, can he still have his own place?
"Now that you're home, let's go into the city."
