7. In Nanjing
The Battle of Jingjing is in full swing, and what is being done in Nanjing at this time, what are Emperor Jianwen and Huang Huai, the protagonist of our story, doing?
It seems that many people have forgotten, where did Huang Huai go, in fact, Huang Huai has been working hard for the stability and peace of the country at this time, when Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai advocated cutting the domain, Huang Huai kept writing that Emperor Jianwen could not cut the domain, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, but Emperor Jianwen listened to the slander and completely ignored Huang Huai, resulting in Zhu Di now being at a loss when he was about to come to the city.
On this day, Zhu Yunwen, who was full of sorrow, came to the court and started the early dynasty, the civil officials were on the left, and the military attache was on the right, only to see the frowning Emperor Jianwen slowly walked up to the dragon chair with the support of the two eunuchs, and then stretched out his hand tremblingly, and gently sat down on the dragon chair, at this moment, people felt that Emperor Jianwen was a lot older, and Zhu Yunwen, who was only twenty-six years old, looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, sitting firmly on the dragon chair, like a statue, and like a tired old bear, slightly closed his eyes, and after a while, slowly spoke: "Aiqing, now that my fourth uncle is about to arrive in Nanjing City, what are your good plans, and what are our plans?" Let's talk about it casually. ”
Qi Tai first said: "Your Majesty, I think we are already in a desperate battle now, and we must take Zhu Di, otherwise when he really enters Nanjing City, we will really have no choice." ”
Huang Zicheng echoed: "What Lord Qi said is reasonable, if we negotiate peace now, Zhu Di will not let His Majesty go, Your Majesty, can you not be soft-hearted." ”
Yang Shiqi, who served as a codification officer during the reign of Emperor Jianwen, said: "The minister has a word, but I don't know whether to say it or not. ”
Zhu Yunwen said angrily: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and let it go if you have a fart!" Speak. ”
Yang Shiqi bowed his head and said: "The minister thinks that Lord Qi and Lord Huang are not good, Your Majesty and King Yan are uncles and nephews, so they will not kill Your Majesty, and the reason why King Yan came to Nanjing City is that the Qing Jun side has nothing to do with Your Majesty." ”
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted loudly by Fang Xiaoru: "What's the matter, Lord Yang, what do you mean that we are all traitors beside Your Majesty." ”
Yang Shiqi's sweat had already fallen, and he hurriedly said: "Don't dare, I mean that if you negotiate peace with Your Majesty, there will be no danger, and if the arrangements are made properly, King Yan can still serve Your Majesty." ”
According to the law, Huang Huai, who was a scholar at the time, could not express any opinions, but he felt that Yang Shiqi's words were more reasonable, so he knelt down and said: "The minister has the courage to say, Lord Yang's words are very reasonable, Your Majesty and King Yan are the same sect, and they are uncles and nephews, even if King Yan hits Nanjing City, he will not do anything to Your Majesty, I think it is better to negotiate peace." ”
After Fang Xiaoru stepped forward, he clenched his fists with both hands, and was just about to kneel, when he saw Zhu Yunwen wave his hand and said, "Wait for you to retreat, Rong Zhen thinks about it." ”
The eunuch said sharply, retreating------
The quarrel between the people on both sides of the court made Zhu Yunwen very irritable, and he planned to go to the imperial garden to relax, and by the way, he thought about it himself, but at this time, a girl suddenly came over, jumped to Zhu Yunwen's side, took Zhu Yunwen's sleeve and said softly: "Brother Wei, what's wrong with you?" ”
The person who came was none other than Xu Miaojin, the third daughter of the founding father Xu Da, and Zhu Yunwen also loved Xu Miaojin as his own sister. In fact, as the king of a country, Zhu Yunwen has no friends around him, and he has no so-called confidants. But Xu Miaojin is different, she has always regarded Zhu Yunwen as her brother, not as an emperor at all, Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed when she saw Xu Miaojin, and said happily: "Miaojin, why are you here?" ”
"I came to the palace to play with you, it's so boring at home, Brother Wei, why are you sad, like a bitter gourd."
"You are really not big or small, alas, it's not because of your brother-in-law Yan Wang, he is about to enter Nanjing City, I'm confused now, I don't know what to do."
"My brother-in-law, I don't know much, but the last time I came to my house, I looked pretty good, and brought me a lot of things from Beiping, you are his own nephew, so I shouldn't do anything to you."
"Being in the emperor's family, how can there be any family affection."
"In that case, let's fight against the water, I don't understand these things, but I don't want you to be hurt, after all, only you treat me like my own sister."
"Do you think I can't make peace?"
"Yes, definitely not, you must not negotiate peace, in case you are imprisoned, then I will never see you again."
"Okay, Jin'er, thank you, I know what to do."
A pair of brother and sister confidants in the Imperial Garden are chatting, and at the same time, there is also a pair of brother and sister confidants chatting casually by Xuanwu Lake.
Jingjing and Huang Huai were strolling by Xuanwu Lake, only to see Jingjing walking slowly with her head down, while Huang Huai was frowning and staring ahead. Jingjing spoke first: "Brother Huang, why are you sad?" ”
Huang Huai listened to it and said impatiently: "You don't know if you say it, don't ask." ”
Jingjing said softly: "Brother, I don't understand the major affairs of the DPRK and China, but I am willing to share your worries and solve problems, if you really can't do it, it may be more comfortable to say it." ”
Huang Huai thought to himself, anyway, I can't figure it out now, it doesn't hurt to talk to you, maybe it can give me some inspiration, so he turned his head, looked at Jingjing's eyes and said: "Sister, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that this is about Your Majesty, I don't dare to say it, but since you asked, then I'll talk about it, the matter of cutting the domain is known all over the city, Emperor Jianwen is at the end of the crossbow at this time, but the book I read since I was a child tells me that I can't betray the saint, the problem is that the current situation is obvious, although King Yan has not yet entered Nanjing City, But it's only a matter of time, what I'm thinking about is, if one day King Yan comes in and ascends to the throne, where should I go? ”
Jingjingzai listened carefully, raised her head and opened her eyes wide, looked at Huang Huai and said: "Brother Huang, although I don't understand it very well, I remember that there is a sentence in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, don't you hear that good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters." I feel that I can follow King Yan, maybe I can be a great hero. ”
Huang Huaimao suddenly opened his mouth and said happily: "Sister Jingjing, you are right, I know how to do it, thank you." ”。
Jingjing lowered her head shyly, under the sunset of Xuanwu Lake, it was the shyness of her eyes, and her lips smiled. Windswept grape belt, sunshine pomegranate skirt.
At this time, Zhu Di was also about to come to the city with a large army......
