"In the matter of Jingjing, King Yan should be the first credit! The position of the leader of the alliance is none other than King Yan! ”

While the kings were silent, they saw a tall figure ascend the steps from the second floor, and stopped at the last step leading to the top, standing still, not on level with the kings.

"The person who is the first righteous person on behalf of the king is meritorious, but the second righteousness of the king of Yan is not a deep kindness to save the king from fire and water? is even more retired Feng Sheng and Fu Youde, and now they are in the north, so isn't it the first contribution to Jingjing? ”

King Su did not answer, but squinted at him, and his tone was a little contemptuous: "Who are you?" ”

How could he not know this general under the command of King Yan, saying this at this time, just to tell him, who are you, dare to get involved in the meeting of several of our vassal kings.

"The subordinate Yanshan right guard commander, Yan Keng." Yan Keng replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Although I am a small official, I have a brave and loyal heart. Seeing that Your Highnesses have not made a decision for a long time, this is how to speak. If you speak rashly, please forgive your sins. ”

"It's not a sin, but once you command, it's not suitable to be involved in this sect's meeting, so it's better to retreat."

King Qing spoke. He knew the details of this friend who had grown up with him, and knew that this person was very quick-witted, and he was praised for his intelligence when he was in class.

Their original relationship was actually quite good, but this was not the time to talk about this, the other party obviously wanted to help King Yan speak, and this relationship was not so big that he even had to give up power.

But the king of Liao said at this time: "Let him talk about it, it's okay." Anyway, I can't choose a candidate for a while, so why not listen to the opinions of others? If it's not right, it's out again. ”

The valley king agreed, and looked at him with encouraging eyes. Xuanfu is close to Beiping, and he also followed King Yan on many expeditions, and he was convinced of Zhu Di.

Seeing that the kings echoed, the two kings did not speak any more.

Yan Keng saluted respectfully, then faced the kings, and said loudly:

"Acting for the king's righteousness, although he made great achievements, he was trapped in Datong and was almost captured, but he was rescued by King Lai Yan. And now that the form of the Northland is very good, is this not the work of King Yan? Raising troops for brothers, this is not a man of great virtue? ”

"If you talk about the merits of the first righteousness, then King Chen is the current Qin, and Zhang Jiao should have the world."

"Even at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the first righteous ones were Liu Futong and Han Shantong, and those who won the world, Taizu also, it can be seen that the sage of the emperor lives in it, and the position of the leader of the alliance is also the same."

King Su's face was a little gloomy, and the words had already reached his father's head, and he was already unable to refute it.

Their biggest reason for electing the acting king no longer existed under Yan Keng's words.

Seeing this, Yan Keng took advantage of the victory to pursue:

"King Yan is the eldest of all the kings today, the brother of the rank here, the order of the elder and the young cannot be abolished, and it is natural for King Yan to be the leader of the alliance."

"And in the past, he counted out the grassland, and his military achievements were great, and now the king of Yan swept the north, and there is no one in the world, forcing the southern court to stop the discussion of cutting the domain, isn't this a great achievement?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, why can't King Yan be in this position? Or is there anyone here who thinks that his merits are better than that of King Yan? ”

All the kings were silent, but Yan Keng's words made the kings present unable to respond.

It is an indisputable fact that King Yan has worked hard and made great achievements.

"In this case, King Yan will be the leader of the alliance, do you have any opinions?" Zhu Wenzheng opened his mouth appropriately.

No one spoke, and even King Ning only snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction. Although King Su and King Qing had unsightly faces, they couldn't say the rest of the words at this time.

In addition to the acting king, who else can be promoted? The rest of the people are obviously already in the heart of King Yan, is it possible that they recommend themselves? The time, strength, and merits of the uprising of the two are far inferior to Zhu Di, even if they are cheeky, it is impossible to succeed.

There is no objection.

Zhu Wenzheng walked in front of Zhu Di and presented the seal that had been prepared.

Zhu Di stood up, took the seal, raised it above his head, first showed it to everyone, and then turned around with the seal, and respectfully kowtowed a few times in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait.

Turning, he drew the knife from his waist and cut a wound on the body of the animal that had been prepared, and the blood was pouring down, and he reached out to dip it in the blood, and then applied it to his mouth.

The kings did the same thing as the king of Yan, they drew their knives, cut the skin of the animals, and smeared them with blood on their lips.

Blood Alliance!

"Everyone, come with me to the south to Yingtian and plan for great things together!"

——

"In October of the thirty-third year of Hongwu, he allied with the Eight Kings in Luoyang. The kings pushed Taizong as the head, sued the heavens and the earth, and made an alliance of blood to punish the ministers of the rebellious country. ”

——"History of the Ming Dynasty: Taizong Benji"

——

Nanking.

Emperor Jianwen once again convened his court.

He had just learned of the alliance of kings.

The Eight Kings Qi Meeting, blood for the alliance, announced to the world, announced that Nanjing would no longer be respected, questioned Zhu Yunwen's orthodox status, and wanted to "be the emperor".

This is like five thunderbolts of news, the vassal kings are united, this is more terrible than them fighting separately, the power of the king of the northern land is enough to subvert this great tomorrow.

Zhu Yunwen, who heard the news, sat on the chair with a dull gaze, and did not move for a minute.

"Your Majesty."

At this time, a royal historian came out of the ranks, and he felt that it was now at a critical juncture, and he needed to stand up:

"Your Majesty, the great war is fierce, many cities and towns have been destroyed, and the rebels have plundered all over the country, and I also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to order all ministries to restrain their subordinates. At the same time, a large number of displaced people appeared, and there was no way to guide the prefectures and counties to dare to include them, so I also asked Your Majesty to allow them to enter the city, stabilize the order first, and then prepare for a big battle with Yan Rebellion......"

"Get out! Get out of here! ”

Before he could finish speaking, a roar interrupted him.

Zhu Yunwen's white face was already swollen red, and his eyes were bloodshot. He gritted his teeth tightly, the flesh of his cheeks bulging, and looked at the imperial history with an almost devouring look.

The calm just now was just the tranquility before the storm, and the words of the imperial history woke him up, and in his ears, the words of the imperial history seemed to tell him that the world was already in danger, and it was not as Huang Zicheng had told before, it was a prosperous world where the people lived in peace and the poetry was splendid.

The dream of the prosperous world was shattered.

The courtiers raised their heads in disbelief, this gentle emperor, not long ago, was still gently discussing with everyone to restore the official position and the ancient name of the city, relaxed the severe policy on civil officials during the Hongwu period, and greatly improved the status of scholars, in everyone's hearts, this will be a benevolent literati emperor.

However, at this time, the emperor still has half a gentleman's temperament, like a beast that wants to choose people to eat.

Because the facts that were accumulated in Zhu Yunwen's heart and made him the most disturbing were ruthlessly disclosed at this time.

He only felt that there was an incomparable fear spreading in his heart, and he had no time to maintain his gentlemanly appearance.

"Retreat!"

He just wanted to be quiet now.

It's just a cutting domain, how did it get to now...... The world is against it?
