Lian Zining lowered his head, which made Liu Chun a little surprised, it stands to reason that this guy should not treat death as home, fight for his life, and defend Zhu Yunwen? He surrendered, and he didn't want to be famous, for scholars, he would rather die than lose his reputation, otherwise he would have left infamy after thousands of generations.

"This Lian Zining can't have any plans, right?" Liu Chun said with a smile.

Zhu Di groaned, he grabbed his beard, and said unceremoniously: "These scholars are full of hearts, and when dealing with them, you really have to be careful." But Lian Zining is willing to say, let's listen to it and have fun! ”

Liu Chun nodded with a smile, Zhu Neng went down, and brought Lian Zining up after a while.

Facing Liu Chun again, Lian Zining had lost the strength in the cell, his hair was messy, his back was rickety, and the whole person was like the old eggplant left in the ground after a frost, wilted, deflated, crippled, and wasted......

"Lian Zining, what do you want to say?"

Lian Zining raised his head, looked at Liu Chun, and then turned to Zhu Di.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, what I said is very important, please make a promise to save my life and survive."

Zhu Di squinted his eyes and didn't look at him at all.

"Lord Liu asks you something, just tell him that this king will not promise you anything until Lord Liu decides!"

Lian Zining was stunned, what is the truth?

There are thousands of people in the family, and there is one person in charge!

No matter what time it is, it is one who has the final say, he is unwilling to talk to Liu Chun, and wants Zhu Di to promise him, this is the reason. But Zhu Di actually kicked the ball back and clearly told him that this matter is Liu Chun's responsibility, and I respect his opinion!

This, these two people can trust each other to such a tacit understanding?

Maybe this is the relationship between the monarch and the minister!

Lian Zining suddenly surged with strong jealousy, he and Zhu Yunwen have been with him for many years, not only have they not been respected and trusted, but they have been urged to die by the other party, which makes people feel embarrassed!

Thinking of this, Lian Zining was even more aggrieved!

"Lord Liu used to be the favored minister of the first emperor, but now he has reached a higher level, and the old man has thrown himself to the ground, and he can only admire!"

Liu Chunman didn't care, "There are some things, it is true that His Royal Highness King Yan is not clear, let me ask you, the death of Prince Yiwen, do you know?" ”

"Ahh

Lian Zining shuddered, including Zhu Di, their eyes widened, "Liu Chun, you said the death of the eldest brother?" ”

Liu Chun continued: "The Lu clan colluded with people outside through his younger brother Lu Ping...... One of the most important people is Qi Tai, you and Qi Tai are good friends, how much will you know some news, right? ”

Lian Zining didn't expect that Liu Chun would ask about Zhu Biao's death, how could he answer!

"Lord Liu, Qi Tai is dead, and the Lu family is also dead, the matter has long been cut off, even if you want to deduct Your Majesty from the crime of killing your father, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it."

He also called Zhu Yunwen His Majesty, obviously, still not completely turned the corner.

Liu Chun and Zhu Di didn't care about this, Liu Chun continued: "What about Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi? Who forced him to commit suicide? ”

"This ......," Lian Zining pondered for a moment, "maybe Qi Tai knows this." ”

Zhu Di's brows rose when he heard this, and he was about to have a seizure, didn't you tell me everything? As a result, now when you ask, you push it on the dead person, surnamed Lian, you are too shameless!

Liu Chun waved at Zhu Di, don't worry, this product still has a trace of poor sourness, and he is unwilling to confess truthfully, he must find a breakthrough first.

"Lord Lian, can I ask you one more thing, who colluded with you in terms of Jinyiwei?"

Lian Zining said blankly: "Lord Liu, I, I don't know, isn't Jinyiwei your centaur?" ”

Liu Chun was dumbfounded, "Okay, since Lord Lian doesn't want to say more, I won't be reluctant, pass the order, find a special courtyard for Lord Lian to rest, and send two more orchids to Lord Lian to serve, Lord Lian is also an elegant and graceful person, I have suffered in the past few months, I should relax." ”

After saying that, Liu Chun really asked people to take Lian Zining down.

When the people left, Zhu Di said eagerly: "Liu Chun, is there any evidence for what you just asked?" Is it true? Zhu Di's voice trembled, yes, he was very excited.

If you can sit on the same thing, especially Zhu Biao's death, in that case, Zhu Yunwen will be completely finished, and the crime of killing his father will make Zhu Yunwen morally bankrupt in an instant.

You must know that Zhu Yunwen is surrounded by traditional literati who flaunt the Three Principles and Five Constants, benevolence, righteousness and morality, if they knew that the Son of Heaven turned out to be a great rebel, what a beautiful picture it would be, I can't imagine it......

Liu Chun sighed, "It's true that after a few years, many people have died, and the truth is too difficult to uncover, but I'm still investigating, and I really hope that Lian Zining can give me some clues." ”

Zhu Di said: "This matter is indeed very important, then, why don't you hurry up and torture and force Lian Zining to tell the truth?" ”

"Lord Wang, didn't you see that Lian Zining's virtue was tortured and tortured, and he died immediately. And we don't need to do anything, as long as we spread the news that Lian Zining is still alive and has submitted to the prince, someone will immediately help us pry open Lian Zining's mouth. ”

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and snorted, "Can't you quickly pry Lian Zining's mouth open?" This king is in a hurry! ”

Liu Chun said helplessly: "Lord Wang, this kind of thing can only be said by Lian Zining himself, otherwise, if he climbs randomly, we will not be able to find out the truth." ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Di snorted helplessly, "Okay, anyway, these things are left to you, this king only needs the final result!" ”

……

From the beginning of this incident, Zhu Di and Liu Chun reached a tacit understanding, training troops to fight, fighting on the battlefield, this is Zhu Di's business, as for spying on the military situation, public opinion propaganda, hitting Zhu Yunwen's prestige, shaking his foundation, disintegrating the army's heart, and weakening morale...... Liu Chun is responsible for these things.

Two people, two lines, perfect combination, cooperation can be called tacit understanding.

No, Zhu Di took advantage of the winter to carry out a large-scale military training, and now Zhu Di's men and horses are very complicated, after his core, there are eighty palace guards, and another 3,000 princes, 10,000 acting kings, 5,000 Su kings, and the largest part is the three guards of the Qin palace, more than 35,000 people.

In addition, Zhu Di captured Li Jinglong's subordinates, almost tens of thousands of people, and more than 10,000 cavalry recruited in the Hexi Corridor and other places.

All combined, there are 100,000 people.

But these 100,000 people are uneven, and they don't know each other at all, and they don't even understand the language. Most of Li Jinglong's subordinates were southerners, and the three guards and horses of several princes were from the north, and those party items, the cavalry of Tubo, were even more complicated...... The language barrier, the difference in habits, caused a lot of conflicts, and the soldiers often clashed and fought.

In this regard, Zhu Di carried out a thorough reorganization, he scattered the men and horses, and reorganized them according to cavalry, infantry, firearms, and baggage.

In the process of reorganization, Zhu Di added a system to the army, that is, the civilian system!

Military Chinese officer!

According to Zhu Di's requirements, it is the duty of a military general to command the operation, and to distribute food and salary, implement military law, communicate the situation, and solve the difficulties of the soldiers...... All of this was left to the civilian authorities.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhu Di was forced out.

He was not worried about the generals, but he could not turn a blind eye to the conflicts and contradictions of the soldiers. There is no way, so he can only arrange a group of people to help him manage.

It's just that what Zhu Di didn't expect was that his approach would have a very far-reaching impact...... Military Chinese officers gradually divided into two types, one was staff officers who were specifically responsible for fighting wars, and the other was trainers who were closer to soldiers.

The emergence of these two types of civilian officials has greatly improved the command and combat ability of generals at all levels, and moreover, the pressure on soldiers in the barracks has also been greatly reduced, the living environment has been greatly improved, and the combat effectiveness has been rapidly enhanced.

In the longer term, Zhu Di broke down the clear barriers between civil and official...... These civilian officials with experience in the military camp later entered the bureaucratic system in large numbers, and they had both the cunning of civilian officials and the ferocity of military generals.

Of course, these benefits are all later, Zhu Di's biggest task now is to organize the people and horses well, so that they can be like an arm, because after this cold winter, a vicious battle will follow, and the battle of life and death must not be sloppy at all.

If Zhu Di's task is to strengthen himself, then Liu Chun is going all out to make trouble for Zhu Yunwen.

They sent envoys to march to the capital with the news of pacifying the northwest and recovering Guazhou and Shazhou. The two armies are at war, and they do not come to the enemy. Zhu Yunwen also urgently needed to know Zhu Di's reality and reality, and it became a very good choice to listen to Zhu Di's situation through the envoys.

But the problem is that this group of emissaries is too annoying.

In addition to the leading young people, they also brought a lot of storytellers and singers, these guys with gongs, drums and instruments, born with a good voice, every time they go to a town, they talk about how Zhu Di pacified the northwest and how to divide the fields and land...... When I arrived at the county seat, it was even more lively, so I simply drew a circle outside the pavilion and started the performance.

Is this a messenger, or is it an artist?

Many local officials were tossed and confused, and they sent officials to take care of them, and then sent a letter to Yingtian, asking the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, can the envoys perform?

Chen Di, who had just returned from his hometown and took over the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, had a crooked nose when he saw it.

Is this a show?

It's clearly propaganda for bandits!

What do the magistrates eat?

How can it be allowed!

He hurriedly issued a ban, and sent a team of brocade guards to specially escort the envoys into Beijing, and they were no longer allowed to contact anyone along the way, and if they were not obedient, they would be killed!

Chen Di's ban was still a step too late. The word has spread...... And the eyeliners that Liu Chun arranged in the shadows also moved, going all out to promote the news of Zhu Di's victory.

King Yan expanded his territory and completed the unfinished business of the first emperor, while Zhu Yunwen was perverse, in order to deal with King Yan, he did not hesitate to violate the ancestral teachings and colluded with the barbarians...... Did he forget that the Mongols had slaughtered the Central Plains and killed countless people?

This questioning may be nothing, but the accompanying news is confusing!

Zhu Yunwen's master, Lian Zining, the right imperial history, finally couldn't stand it, and decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, follow King Yan, and crusade against Zhu Yunwen together!

This is a super bombshell, on May 5th, a thunderbolt exploded overhead!

Who?

Lian Zining!

That's the Master of the Son of Heaven!

How did he surrender Zhu Di? Abandoned his own disciples?

Could it really be as rumored that Lian Zining was disappointed? Think the Son of Heaven is too much? It is often heard that apprentices betray their masters, but it is rare for masters to betray their apprentices.

Especially some time ago, Zhu Yunwen claimed that Lian Zining fell into the hands of the enemy, died of martyrdom, and held a funeral for his master, which now looks like a joke!

Who is right and who is wrong, and who can say clearly?

But it didn't take long for news to come from Lian Zining's hometown Linjiang Mansion that the Lian clan decided to expel Lian Zining from the house, and those who were not born from the Lian family were not allowed to enter the grave of the Lian family if they died!

Disloyal and unjust, without a king and father, bending the knee to the enemy, a person who is incorruptible and shameful, a child of a practicing family, everyone will be punished!

The news reached Xi'an, and Lian Zining did not eat or drink for three whole days, perhaps future generations could not understand what it meant for a person to be expelled from the clan!

But Lian Zining knows too well, he's finished!

It doesn't matter if the monarch's father abandons him, the family abandons him, and he doesn't even have the last trace of thought, and he has completely become a lonely ghost, a poor person who has no home!

Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen!

It's a master and apprentice, can you do it so desperately? The abandonment of the family made Lian Zining completely give up the last reserve, don't want this thing of face!

Lian Zining locked himself in the study, he had nothing but a pen, full of resentment!

Five days later, a masterpiece was newly released, with a title of only four words: Virtue is not worthy!
