Chapter 125: A Song of Blood and Fire 3
No matter who it is, when it comes to Zhu Yuanzhang's life, it must be called a legend.
From ancient times to the present, among all the emperors who sit on the throne of God, he is the real one, and the only one who came from the lowest grassroots. Even Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, at least once served as a pavilion chief.
Time is also fate, and momentum is also lucky.
In the mouth of the deceitful, everything is predestined.
But he himself knows very well that the reason why he was able to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan is of course luck on the one hand, but what really depends on the brothers and sisters around him.
When he defected to the Red Turban Army, he was almost cut down by the marshal Guo Zixing, and at this time the centurion Tang He appeared. When he faced the encirclement and suppression of the old lady Meng, Xu Da appeared. When he was in a desperate situation and encountered the ambush of the six demon kings of the Yuan Court, Chang Yuchun appeared, and in the midst of the beacon fire on Poyang Lake, Liu Bowen appeared again.
It can be said that in the process of conquering the world, Zhu Yuanzhang's greatest achievement is that he met the right person at the right time.
But now, after 26 years of yellow robe, Zhu Chongba, who used to like to dream and like to drink wine and eat meat around the bonfire with his brothers, has disappeared, and he has become Zhu Guorui, Zhu Yuanzhang, and the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hongwu.
Everything in the past doesn't really drift away with the wind, it just hides deep in the heart. When he dreams back at midnight, he will also think of Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Liu Bowen, and Li Shanchang's voices and smiles.
Today, August 15, the full moon of Mid-Autumn Festival.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that after today, there might be thousands of more people in his dreams, and thousands of old brothers would ask or stare at him.
After all the tricks, Lan Yu finally appeared under the Hongwu Gate and came to him.
Although it may sound endless sarcasm to Lan Yu, the sentence he said "the last friendship of all monarchs and ministers" has no other meaning, it is from the heart, and it is also the last thing he can do after really seeing the grief and indignation on Lan Yu's face.
The wind rises and the wind stops.
Lan Yu's voice sounded again: "Why are you forcing me?"
Lan Yu really doesn't understand, along the way, all the brothers have no regrets. But why did everything change when it really came to the time of common wealth?
Is the path of the emperor really so decisive?
Yes, he Lanyu is not a fool, and he also understands that if Zhu Yuanzhang dies, no one in the world can suppress them and the military gods of the troubled times. But Zhu Chongba in his heart should understand that they are not against them, why can't they believe them?
At this moment, he spoke out the doubts in his heart, and he was also answered by the Son of Heaven.
Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out a finger and pointed at the thirteen thousand battalion soldiers behind Lan Yu.
His meaning was obvious: "Just a few days of planning, Lan Yu has leveraged one of the three major battalions of the forbidden army. Do you need to say anything else?"
Why don't you say it?!
The long knife pointed obliquely, and Lan Yu roared angrily: "You are the emperor, and our prince Wandai." I, Lanyu, became the Duke of Liangguo and the young master of the crown prince, is it a big mistake for me to find a future for my brothers?!"
"So, you don't understand. You don't understand. Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and sighed.
Raise your hand, fall, Hongwu Gate is wide open, the eight thousand dragon guards of the Imperial Horse Prison rush out, and the arrow rain in the sky is like locusts, this time, there is really no need to say anything...
"Lao Zhang. ”
"The slave is here. ”
"Tell me to capture Lanyu alive. ”
"Yes. ”
After all, he still has to use his "confession" to continue this game, he can't die.
。。。。。。
"Ahh
In the East Palace, after paying the price of more than 100 lives, Xu Ruyi finally fell into a heavy siege.
The true qi of the body protection has been promoted to the extreme, and there are sword lights and sword shadows in all directions.
Grit your teeth and maybe hold on for a while, but death seems to be a foregone conclusion.
Just when the previous encirclement was completed, thirty people from the men in black entered the dormitory to search for Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts, but he was powerless to stop him.
"It's still his impulsiveness, I knew it was like this, I just ran away. There was a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, the three-foot blue light rotated, and there were three more people in front of him who fell into the dust, but...
"Poof!"
True Qi was insufficient, and the body protection qi shield was finally unable to maintain it any longer, and a blood stain appeared on Xu Ruyi's back, which was not very thick.
Hmph, a cold snort suppressed the screams in his chest, turned around and slashed back with a sword, and the "sneak attacker" was split in half.
"The group of evils is easy to dispel!"
The sword light flashed, the ghosts were heavy, and suddenly, more than 20 souls returned to the sky, and the space around them was a little larger, but in the blink of an eye, it was filled by the people behind.
"Lao Tzu wants your life!"
"You're a monster, and Lao Tzu killed you!"
There were a few angry shouts around him, and three sharp knives came together.
The last instinct, wrong step, sideways, freeze the picture!
A knife in the left shoulder, a knife in the back, an oblique stab, and a knife... Pierced in the abdomen.
And Xu Ruyi's sword stabbed into the eye socket of another nameless person in front of him...
"Ruyi!"
In his vague consciousness, Zhu Yunwen's heart-rending shout came.
"Your Highness, don't shout... Dead ... ”
The lips trembled slightly, but unfortunately no sound was made...
"So there it was!"
"I said that they didn't come out when they entered the dormitory, and they didn't find their feelings. ”
The figures around him gradually left, and Xu Ruyi's gaze gradually blurred.
"That's it ... ”
。。。。。。
"Huh?!" Ouyang woke up from his dream, and even Yamazaki Ryu, who was admiring the moon in front of the window, was startled.
"Have a nightmare?" walked to the side of the bed and gently patted the little girl on the back: "Why are you still crying?
"No... No. Frowning and recalling for a moment, Ouyang choked and said: "Ruyi, Brother Ruyi has an accident, he is covered in blood, he... He.. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a dream. Ryuya Yamazaki comforted awkwardly.
"But Ouyang really saw it, there were a lot of people, holding knives... ”
Looking at Ouyang's serious little face, Yamazaki Long also thought about it, shook his head again, and said, "Although it is very chaotic outside, Brother Ruyi is in the palace now, he is very safe, and he will be fine... ”
"Yes ... "Although I haven't been in the palace, I've lived in Nanjing for a while. Such a big house, and where the emperor lives, must be very safe, maybe... It's really a dream.
。。。。。。
"I heard that Tang He is out of town today. Looking at the late-night visitor in front of him, Fu Youde said flatly.
"Yes, I went to the Shenji Battalion. Song Guogong Feng Sheng's face was calm, so that people could not see their joy and anger.
"What about Liao Yongzhong? He seemed to be very excited about that secret conversation. ”
"He?" Feng Sheng smiled contemptuously: "At the beginning, the emperor had already achieved a great trend, and he hesitated for three months before he dared to attack King Xiao Ming." Now that Lan Yu is at a disadvantage, the odds of winning are less than one percent, and he still dares to make a move. ”
What he said also made sense, Fu Youde nodded, and said leisurely: "You say... If we really follow Lan Yu... Will it work out?"
"I don't know. A trace of confusion flashed in Feng Sheng's eyes: "Emperor, not just a name, he also represents the hearts of the people." The Ming Dynasty was under the governance of the emperor, in fact, it was still very good. ”
"Hehe... Fu Youde shook his head and chuckled, stretched out his hand and pointed to the only remaining founding prince of the six countries opposite: "You're afraid." ”
"Alas. Feng Sheng sighed lightly: "I'm really scared." People say that the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are. It's perfect for me. After a slight pause, Feng Sheng looked at Fu Youde: "I'm afraid, aren't you?"
"It's different" Fu Youde got up and pushed open the window and looked at the bright moon outside the sky.
"What's the difference?" Feng Sheng asked.
Silence in the right.
After a while, Fu Youde's voice sounded again: "Bright and secret, the emperor killed Brother Xu, Brother Chang, Liu Laodao, Li Shanchang... You Feng Sheng was frightened. That's why you didn't dare to rebel with Lan Yu, that's why you came to me tonight to talk to me about this useless gossip. ”
"Yes, I'm scared. After calmly, he asked rhetorically: "What about you? Don't you also sit here and talk useless nonsense with me?
"Me?" Fu Youde turned his head to look at Feng Sheng and said, "I'm also afraid, but I'm not afraid of death." Today, we are not the outlaws who led thousands of soldiers to fight the world. Nowadays, we have a different identity. You are Song Guogong, and I am Ying Guogong.
The false name of the national public brings not only wealth and glory, but also responsibility. You and I are all a big family, and there are also a group of brothers who have been born and died. If I only bet on my Fu Youde's life at the gambling table, I don't care, let me bet on the life of the family, I will hesitate, and let me gamble the lives of my brothers together... ”
"I can't afford to bet. ”
"Since you can't afford to gamble, why don't you help the Holy Lord quell the rebellion like that Tang He?"
"Because I... I can't get my hands on it. ”
After another oppressive silence,
"That doesn't have to be the case. Feng Sheng was relieved: "Lan Yu has indeed been crazy over the years, but a few of us have always been honest, and besides, the emperor has not been in the army before, maybe... It's going to be fine. ”
"Hopefully. ”
。。。。。。
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
In the imperial city, Chu Zhu'er took Wu Shiqi and ran all the way towards the East Palace.
Chu Zhu'er's steps were light, like a puff of green smoke floating, but looking at Wu Shi'er, his movements were not very beautiful, and he could even be regarded as clumsy.
The left foot stepped down, and the body jumped out of a zhang away, and then the right foot kicked again. It's not even a run, it's like a rabbit jumping and jumping. It's no wonder that Chu Shu'er always turns back and urges.
"Our family has done our best, it's useless for you to be anxious. With another kick, Wu Shiqi said helplessly.
"I told you a long time ago that I wanted to choose a more powerful body, but you didn't listen, but this time I really used it, staring. Chu Shu'er complained twice, and urged again: "Hurry up, the little door master won't be able to hold out for long!"
"I'm not slow. Wu Shiqi muttered, but he was not angry, he also knew that Chu Shu'er was this temper, usually nothing, as soon as he encountered a major event, he was in a hurry, and he couldn't suppress things, the old director Xiao also taught him a lesson, but this temper seemed to be brought in the womb of his mother, and he couldn't change it.
Finally, the East Palace was in sight, and on the eaves of a palace, there were three faint black shadows, standing with their hands in their hands, looking in the direction of the East Palace.
After decades of brotherly friendship, just by the silhouette under the moon, Chu Shu'er and Wu Shiqi recognized the identities of the three.
Glancing at each other suspiciously, Chu Shu'er said, "How did Lao Li do it, I didn't know how to go in directly when I arrived first?"
"How do I know. Maybe the little door master has saved the day?" Wu Shiqi shrugged: "Just go up and ask." ”
The two jumped and stood behind the three.
"What are you doing standing here, is the little master all right?"
"It's late. ”
"What's late?"
"See for yourself. Stretching out his hand and pointing to the open space in front of Zhu Yunwen's dormitory in the East Palace, Chu Burier and Wu Shiqi looked at the situation, dead bodies everywhere, whether there was Xu Ruyi's body or not, they couldn't see it for a while, but looking at the group of black-clothed people rushing towards the side hall, plus Li Caiyu's previous sentence was late... The situation is self-evident.
Time is still running, and it doesn't stop for anyone, anything.
In the eyes of the five hall masters of the Heavenly Gate, more than four hundred black-clothed people rushed into a side hall on the side of the East Palace. After a few faint shouts and shouts, Zhu Yunwen was pulled out with the little eunuch beside him.
The powerless struggle, the immature crying and screaming, are useless in front of everyone whose hearts are like stone.
"Lao Li... We... Chu Shu'er asked softly. At this moment, he really ran out of ideas. When he was in a hurry and didn't know what to hurry, he calmed down a little.
"Do you want to go out and save Zhu Yunwen?" Li Caiyu didn't speak, but a kind-faced old man on the side spoke first.
Li Caiyu shook his head and sighed: "It stands to reason that the little master is dead, and we must at least avenge him." But in this deep palace compound, these more than 400 guys couldn't escape, and the blue jade outside the city was also in trouble. If we don't do it, they're all dead, so we think... ”
"Then let's take revenge on ourselves. Chu Shi'er spoke, pointing to the good-faced old man who had spoken before and the third person who was paralyzed next to him, and said to Li Caiyu: "Since you have brought Lao Lu and Lao Tang together, let's work hard, and it is not a problem to leave these four hundred." ”
The old Lu in Chu Bury'er's mouth refers to the old man with a good face. The surname is Lu, the name is Huaiqin, and the master of the Tianmen "Dui" word hall. As for the facial paralysis, it is the old Tang in his mouth. Tang was buried, and the master of the Tianmen "Departure" word hall.
"It's not that simple. Li Caiyu said: "Let me ask you, Zhu Yunwen is still alive, if we make a move, will we keep Zhu Yunwen's life?"
"Keep?"
"Keep it, if you keep it, five decision-making masters suddenly appeared in the palace, and they turned around and told Zhu Yuanzhang... ”
"Then don't stay. ”
"You can't keep it. Li Caiyu patiently explained: "If you don't stay, Daming will have no heir, and who will Zhu Yuanzhang's newly established Dongchang leave to?
"Then watch?"
"I can only watch. Li Caiyu shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Go back and collect a corpse for the little door master, that's the only way." ”
