"The emperor, the emperor, the minister is incompetent, and the minister is guilty of capital crimes!" Then the king of Yan kept saying that he had to ask the emperor to hand over ......" The person who spoke was Li Jinglong, the prince of Cao Guo, who knelt down from the camp of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and asked for surrender, and it was he who was the leader. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info now returned to the city of Nanjing, in front of Emperor Jianwen today, weeping bitterly, stating the previous situation, when it came to the request of King Yan, he glanced at Huang Zicheng, the secretary of Taichang Temple, and Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department, who was standing beside the emperor, and finally swallowed the words back.

Emperor Jianwen smiled bitterly a few times and said to Li Jinglong: "Aiqing, but it doesn't matter, what does my uncle want me to hand over?"

Li Jinglong raised his head slightly, pointed at Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others beside Emperor Jianwen, and quickly lowered his head.

"Haha, if you want the old man to make a mistake, I am already a person who has half of my body in the ground, so why be afraid of death!" said a deep voice, the person who spoke was in good health, although he was in his fifties, and his beard was gray, but his voice was like a bell, and he was full of confidence, it was Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department.

"If Qi Lao wants to make a mistake, he must first ask me if I want to be Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Jianwen's tone suddenly revealed firmness.

"Actually, I have long known that I am not the ideal Emperor of the Ming Dynasty of Emperor Taizu, since my uncle came to take it, I will give it to him, but since he is a king for a day, he can't do anything to steal his life, he wants to take this society, so he will take the life of the widow!" Emperor Jianwen stood up on the steps of the main hall, and once again looked down at the imperial city where he had lived for four years, and suddenly sadness came from it, his body shook, and he fell on the steps again.

Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Yu Shi Wei Mian, Hanlin Academy editor Cheng Ji and others hurriedly surrounded him and helped Emperor Jianwen up.

I saw Huang Zicheng pause and said: "When the country is in danger, Fang Xiaoru is nowhere to be found, in vain I and Qi Tai and others originally protected this person, but now he has become a turtle with a shrunken head, which really makes the old man ashamed!"

Emperor Jianwen waved his hand and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, Fang Xiaoru is a great sage today, if he really dies with me, I feel guilty." ”

At this time, a middle-aged man in his thirties with dark skin knelt down and played: "Yu Shi Lianying implores the emperor to take the community as the priority, do not take your life, when Emperor Gao was promoted, there was a requisition, given to the palace eunuch Wang Yue, today the danger is imminent, why not take out a look, do not violate the good intentions of the first emperor, and live up to the life of the people." ”

"Yes, yes! Why are you in a hurry and forget about this matter, even what the imperial history said is very true! You should quickly invite Wang Yue to meet you to see what the first emperor's will be. Qi Tai shouted.

"Without further ado, we should act separately, according to thirty miles outside Nanjing, there is still a camp of our Ming army, after the defeat of the old general Geng Bingwen, he should try to contact him, thinking that he is foreign aid. King Yan can break through the capital at any time, I should lead the remaining soldiers in the city to try to drag King Yan, and the others will lead His Majesty to Wang Yue to find the jade hair, thinking that it is the last resort. Lian Ying said.

At that moment, everyone agreed with Lian Ying's words, and Emperor Jianwen also wanted to see the legacy left by his father. After some discussion, Lian Ying and Li Jinglong involved the law to prevent King Yan from entering the palace and delayed time, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng lurked out of the city and went to the old general Geng Bingwen for help, and Wei Mian, Cheng Ji and others followed Emperor Jianwen to find Wang Yue. The discussion was decided, everyone stared at each other for a moment, arched their hands, and left one after another, everyone had an indescribable feeling in their hearts. They know in their hearts that this breakup may be the farewell for most of them.

Yingtianfu, which was built in the 26th year of the Yuan Dynasty, started in the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, has gone through the ups and downs of the Ming Dynasty, it has experienced the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, and also witnessed the rise of the Ming Dynasty. Now, this magnificent treasure hall, which is known as the largest palace complex in the Middle Ages of mankind, is falling in a sea of fire and screams, Emperor Jianwen and his ministers are running in different directions at the moment, but their hearts are all pulled by this palace, pulled to the blood in their hearts, and dripped in their bodies.

At this moment, on the head of Yingtian City, the fat body of Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, was already exhausted, and the city wall was smashed by the shelling stones. At this time, the shouting of killing gradually weakened, and his eyes blurred by sweat vaguely saw a man in a silver helmet and black robe riding a horse, getting closer and closer to him.

"King of the Valley, Old Seventeen, do you still recognize me?" said the black-robed man under the city.

"King Yan, my fourth brother, I really want to forget you. Zhu Lu said, and the two people in the city and under the city laughed loudly, but the hidden meaning of this laughter was quite different from the mood at this moment.

The silver helmet general who came to the city was Zhu Di, the king of Yan, the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had twenty-six sons, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was the son that Zhu Yuanzhang thought was most like himself.

"Old Seventeen, your armor is very familiar, it seems that I got it for you from the Tartars, right?" Zhu Di, the king of Yan, raised his voice and shouted to the city.

"But no, this armor is really a treasure, I don't want to wear him on weekdays, but I didn't expect to use what you sent to block your sword today. The valley king replied.

"Old Seventeen, when I was sent by my father to the border, the remnants of the Mongolian ants were outside the fortress, all year round, constantly burning and looting, disturbing my Ming border, at that time my father stipulated that the vassal king was on the spot, and the garrison should not exceed 3,000, your fourth brother used these 3,000 brothers, and he fought with this Mongolian Tartar for several years! The Mongolians wanted me Zhu Di to die, my nephew also wanted me to die, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also wanted me to die, but I still stood here today, do you know what this is? This is the will of heaven!" Zhu Di said impassionedly.

"Providence, when you step over my corpse, then speak of Providence!" said the Valley King exclaimed.

"My King of the Valley, my own brother, what blinded you? You and my brothers, both have been crowned kings, but have you seen how our good nephew Emperor Jianwen treats us? The King of Zhou and the King of Qi are examples, and the traitorous monarch of the state will surely bury the Ming Dynasty. Today I am the opposite, if I Zhu Di wins, the future world will still be the Ming Dynasty, and you and I will still be brothers in the future, but if I lose, our nephew will be even more hateful and suspicious of these vassal uncles, as powerful as I will die without a place to be buried, not to mention your little valley king?" Zhu Di said.

"If your armor can't block my sword, can you stop Emperor Jianwen's sword?"

Zhu Lu felt a trace of coolness penetrate into his neck, he subconsciously touched the armor on his body, his lips were closed, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"I won, it will be Emperor Jianwen who will disappear in this world, I will lose, but it will not only be me Zhu Di who will disappear in this world. All vassal kings will become the next target, even if you can protect yourself with this armor, can you protect your wife who is close to each other and my three-year-old niece?" Zhu Di's speech was not fast, but his sentences penetrated Zhu Di's heart like a sharp blade.

Zhu Di completely collapsed, and Zhu Di's words reminded him of his family and his own safety. Indeed, a war between an uncle and a nephew lacked a reason for his own participation, and now in the face of the Yan army under the black pressure under the city, and then looking at the remnants of the defeated soldiers around him, Zhu Lu finally made up his mind.

"Open the gates!"

It's finally over.

Zhu Di smiled, but Zhu Lu didn't.

The banner of the Ming army on the head of the city slowly fell, and the flag military academy of the Yan army was ready to climb the city tower and plant the flag of the Yan army, but was stopped by the Daoyan monk beside Zhu Di.

"It is the Ming army in Nanjing City, and the Yan army is also the Ming army, how can there be any reason to change the flag?

"It's still the mage who thinks thoughtfully," Zhu Di paused for a moment, and then said with a smile. Yuan Heng beside him followed closely and said: "Exactly, exactly, King Yan is the descendant of Taizu, and he is the heir of our Ming Dynasty." ”

While speaking, the group of people and horses had already walked to the mouth of the city gate suspension bridge, and beside Zhu Di, in addition to Daoyan monk and Taoist priest Yuan Hui, there were also internal officials Gou'er, Qianhu Huaju, and Baihu Guyun standing on the side to protect Zhu Di's safety. Behind these people, there is another person who has always been silent, even in the entire siege war, he did not say a word, this person is Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, the seventeenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di's own brother.

Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, had been waiting at the gate of the city for a long time, only to see Zhu Lu kneeling on his knees, and the military generals behind him were the same, respectfully waiting for the arrival of King Yan.

When Zhu Di, the king of Yan, saw this scene, drove his horse to the front, leaned over on the horse, put his right arm in his arms, and said to the king of the valley: "The king of the valley must not make this great gift, is this to torment the elder brother? ”

Two brothers, inevitably experienced, at this time there were three horsemen stepped forward, came to the side of the king of the valley and others, and ordered the soldiers to put the weapons placed beside them together, these three people are of the same age, one of them is obese, sallow face, it is Zhu Di's eldest son Zhu Gaochi, next to him is a person with two sword eyebrows, eyes are cold, people dare not look at him, a scar on the left cheek, golden beard like a steel needle, is Zhu Gaochi's second brother, Zhu Di's second son Zhu Gaochu.

Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, was ashamed and afraid in the face of Zhu Di and his others, and it took a long time to slowly stand up and arch his hand: "Fourth brother, no, King Yan, please follow me into the city." ”

Zhu Di was not polite, just nodded slightly, then looked up, and then rode his horse and whipped, and entered the city gate surrounded by left and right.

Along the road, seeing ruined houses, collapsed beams, dark brick walls, and people lying on both sides due to hunger or disease, and from time to time in the scorched earth, you can still hear the sound of crackling fire, mixed with people's painful moans, Monk Daoyan not only looked up to the sky and sighed: "Amitabha, I will no longer be tolerated between heaven and earth." ”

As he was moving forward, he found a person standing in the middle of the road, facing the army, without the slightest intention of panicking and retreating. Seeing this, Neiguan Gou'er and Baihu Gu Yun took the lead in riding their horses to the front, and saw that the person standing in front of them was a young man with ragged clothes and unkempt hair, and his face was also a little black and gray, as if he was called Hanako, but his eyes were full of energy, and he did not look like a person who had not eaten for several days.

"Where did you come from, an idiot, who dares to block the way of our army!" asked the internal official Gou'er first.

This young man was Ye Cheng, I saw that Ye Cheng didn't even look at the dog, and his eyes fell directly on Zhu Di behind him.

Seeing this, the dog was furious, and slapped Ye Cheng towards him, but Ye Cheng happened to stumble and didn't stand firm at this time, and he just happened to dodge.

Gu Yun said to the dog: "Look at it like this, it's either a beggar or a prisoner who has just escaped from the prison. ”

Ye Cheng smiled slightly at this time: "Yes, I am the prisoner who just escaped." ”

The dog still wanted to continue to move, but at this time, Zhu Di and the others had already come closer, and seeing that the person standing in front of him was a young man who seemed to be stupid, Zhu Di smiled and waved his hand, signaling that everyone didn't have to take it seriously, just pass by him.

Seeing this, Yuan Heng hurriedly said to everyone: "Don't spoil King Yan's interest today, everyone continues to move forward." ”

Zhu Di and Ye Cheng passed by, never looked at him again, but Ye Cheng looked at Zhu Di until he was far away, and at this moment, a small voice came from his ear.

"Kung Fu is handsome enough, but don't be reckless, just go. ”

Ye Cheng was stunned for a moment, and when he looked again, a black-robed monk passed by him, and Ye Cheng understood that what he said just now was what he said, and the truth that he had escaped the attack of the dog was discovered by this monk.

Ye Cheng watched these people pass by him one by one, some laughed at him for being a fool, and some thought with a little sympathy that he was hungry or frightened, he didn't care, just watched everyone's backs gradually blur.
