The imperial capital of Jinling.

Zhu Yunwen has been a little complacent in recent days.

He does have the capital and confidence.

More than half a month has passed since the last great victory on the front.

Thinking about it, Li Jinglong had already broken through Beiping City and was making every effort to strangle the rebellion of the Yan army.

Zhu Yunwen even began to fantasize that it wouldn't be long before he could meet the traitor Zhu Di who was captured alive!

At that time, Zhu Yunwen will humiliate Zhu Di, a traitor, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and then take Zhu Di to Taimiao, and humiliate him again in front of Emperor Taizu Gao!

As for killing Zhu Di?

Zhu Yunwen will definitely not kill him, he will be demoted to a commoner and banned for life!

This can not only show his generosity and benevolence as Emperor Jianwen, but also humiliate Zhu Di for a lifetime!

For an ambitious rebellious minister and thief like Zhu Di, what could be better than watching him, Emperor Jianwen, build the Ming Dynasty into a peaceful and prosperous era?

Oh, by the way, Zhu Di can't enter the Taimiao yet.

Because as early as the beginning of Zhu Di's rebellion, Zhu Yunwen cut Zhu Di's title, and expelled him from the sect and demoted him to a commoner!

Zhu Di, Zhu Di, what are you going to do with me?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Yunwen felt that his whole body was comfortable, and even the eunuchs around him felt a little pleasing to the eye.

However, just as he was reviewing the recitals in a graceful manner, Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department, walked in with a solemn expression.

As soon as he saw Qi Tai, a smile appeared on Zhu Yunwen's face.

Thanks to the great victory on the front line, Zhu Yunwen and his "Three Treasures of Jianwen" have also eliminated the barrier and returned to the honeymoon period.

"Qi Aiqing is exempt, but there is a big victory from the front line?"

Zhu Yunwen asked excitedly, but Qi Tai showed a bitter smile.

"Your Majesty, there is indeed news from the front, but it is not a great victory, but ...... Ask for money and food! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen immediately frowned, and hurriedly took the military intelligence document and looked at it.

The next moment, Emperor Jianwen, who was gentle and elegant on the surface, was instantly furious.

"It's a bastard!"

"Li Jinglong, what is he doing?"

"The 500,000 army besieged Beiping for more than a month, and it still can't beat a single Beiping city?"

No wonder Zhu Yunwen is so angry, this thing is really outrageous!

That's 500,000 elites of the Southern Army!

Besieging a Beiping city is just a long time ago!

But until now, Beiping has not been defeated, and the 500,000 army seems to be playing outside the city of Beiping!

Moreover, Li Jinglong was still shamelessly urging the court to ask for money and food, which made Zhu Yunwen even more angry!

I didn't see the results of the battle, but you ate a lot of food!

Why, are you really out and about?

Even if 500,000 pigs hit the city wall for a month, they can still knock the Beiping city wall open, right?

How unreasonable!

Zhu Yunwen was furious, got up and paced back and forth.

The slap in the face came so fast!

He couldn't figure out what had gone wrong.

Li Jinglong is a master of the art of war, how did he not know the importance of Beiping City to the Yan army?

Then why is there still the current situation, 500,000 troops can't defeat Beiping City for a month?

"The emperor is angry!"

"It's not that Cao Guogong is incompetent, but that Zhu Gaochi is too cunning!"

"Zhu Gaochi?" Zhu Yunwen was stunned when he heard this, "That Yan Shizi? ”

"That's right, it's this!" Qi Tai explained, "Zhu Gaochi's son is different from his father Zhu Di, he is well-read and old-fashioned, and he is quite wise and foolish. ”

"In this battle of Beiping, Zhu Di was far away in Daning, but Zhu Gaochi stayed in Beiping, he repeatedly used tactics to defeat the Wang Shi and attack the city, and he blocked it for more than a month!"

I have to admit that Qi Tai is excusing Li Jinglong.

When he first saw this military intelligence letter, Qi Tai was also furious and very dissatisfied with Li Jinglong.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and he must find a way to exonerate Li Jinglong in front of His Majesty the Emperor!

Because Li Jinglong is the commander of the Southern Army, it was he Qi Tai who recommended him.

If His Majesty the Emperor is dissatisfied with Li Jinglong, he Qi Tai will also suffer!

In addition, since the rebel Zhu Di rebelled, His Majesty the Emperor's temper has become more and more irritable and obedient, even if they are Qi and Huangfang, they are often reprimanded.

The three of them can also understand that only by completely strangling the traitor Zhu Di will His Majesty the Emperor be completely relieved and return to the gentle and elegant Emperor Jianwen.

Therefore, every news from the front line at this moment is extremely important.

It cannot be reported to His Majesty the Emperor as it is, nor can His Majesty the Emperor be dissatisfied with Li Jinglong.

This is the specialty of literati officials.

It is actually not difficult to exonerate Li Jinglong.

The best way is to praise Zhu Gaochi, the son of Yan.

After all, the commander of the Southern Army is incompetent, and this statement must not appear, then the enemy commander is too cunning!

Hearing the name Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Yunwen was suddenly silent.

Of course, he was very impressed by this witty cousin.

When Emperor Taizu Gao was still alive, he liked this Yan Shizi very much.

Grandpa Taizu had ordered Zhu Gaochi and the princes of Qin, Jin, and Wednesday to inspect the army at dawn, but Zhu Gaochi returned to the army late, and Ming Taizu asked him why, he explained that the morning was too cold, and the review should wait until after the soldiers had finished breakfast.

Sympathetic to the soldiers and loving the people like a son, this is the grandfather's evaluation of Zhu Gaochi.

The great grandfather ordered Zhu Gaochi to read the chapters separately, and Zhu Gaochi took the chapters that were very related to military and civilian affairs, and there was a phenomenon of text errors, but he did not play the grandfather, and the grandfather mentioned him, whether he ignored it, but Zhu Gaochi believed that the emperor should not be bothered with small mistakes.

is good at government affairs and good at governance, which is the evaluation of Zhu Gaochi by the great grandfather.

Grandpa Tai once asked Zhu Gaochi: "When floods and droughts broke out in Tang Yao and Shang Tang, what can the people rely on to survive the disaster?" ”

Zhu Gaochi believed that the people survived the disaster because the Shengming monarch had a good policy of compassion for the people.

Grandpa Tai was very happy for Zhu Gaochi's insights, and commented that he had "the knowledge of a gentleman"!

The knowledge of the gentleman, to put it bluntly, is to praise Zhu Gaochi as a natural emperor seed.

After Zhu Yunwen learned of this, he once regarded Zhu Gaochi as an imaginary enemy.

It's a pity that Zhu Gaochi was born in the Yan Domain, so there is absolutely no possibility of winning the heir.

It's just that Zhu Yunwen didn't expect that now his cousin is still outstanding, stubbornly blocking the 500,000 army and defending Beiping City!

If you really want to talk about it, when Zhu Yunwen was a child, the relationship between Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Gaochi was very good.

After all, the other emperors and grandsons like to dance with knives and guns, and only the two of them like to read and learn calligraphy, so the two became friends for a while.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to help the king break through Beiping!"

At this time, Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng hurried over.

The three treasures of Jianwen gathered again, either to compete for merit, or to deceive the monarch and conceal it.

Zhu Yunwen raised his eyebrows and looked at Fang Xiaoru, who spoke out.

"What is Aiqing's plan? But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

"The minister asked the emperor to decree that Zhu Gaochi be canonized as the king of Yan, and that the court would stick to Beiping to reject his father!"

Zhu Yunwen: "???"
