Xu Hao couldn't remember what Li Jinglong and Zhu Di said, he was not interested at all, looked at the elated generals around him, and stood aside with a frown.

At this time, Xu Wen, who was kneeling in the crowd, looked at his younger brother with envy and jealousy, if King Yan attacked Jingshi and ascended the throne as the emperor next, then the knighthood was just around the corner, it was really a wrong step, but fortunately there was still a chance to save.

Xu Wen came with Li Jinglong, for fear that King Yan would find out and kill him in anger, so he deliberately dressed up in disguise, so Xu Hao didn't recognize it.

Li Jinglong, who was sulky, returned empty-handed, and Zhu Yunwen asked: "Uncle Wang doesn't want to cut the land, so he will come out?" ”

Li Jinglong said: "King Yan wants to sacrifice sinners, and then he can retire. ”

Fang Xiaoru still admired Li Jinglong's talent, and said: "The thief army is the first to attack Jinchuan Gate, and Cao Guogong can be ordered to defend it. ”

"Quasi-play." Zhu Yunwen, who did not doubt him, said again: "You go back and tell Uncle Wang that the guilty have all been banished, and those who are not in Beijing will wait for some time." ”

Li Jinglong refused to be humiliated again, so he asked the kings in Beijing to go with him to see the king of Yan, this time the king of the valley Zhu Lu, the king of An, Zhu Ying, came, Xu Hao saw that Zhu Di's attitude became completely different, and they exchanged affectionate and affectionate greetings.

Thinking that the two princes are both people who are under house arrest, I wish the fourth brother was the emperor, how could he speak for his nephew? Never mentioning the land to sue for peace, when the banquet was held, Xu Wen quietly walked to Li Qiu's side while people were unprepared, and said in a low voice: "I want to see the third child." ”

Li Qiu nodded in disbelief, turned around and walked into the big tent, and soon Xu Hao walked out with a calm expression.

That night, Xu Hao reported Li Jinglong's intention to surrender to Zhu Di. Zhu Di said with a meaningful smile: "This king can have today, Cao Guogong has made great contributions. After finishing speaking, he said hatefully: "Xu Huizu is invincible to me, and it is not a pity to die, so Xu Wen's crime should be pardoned." ”

Yao Guangxiao, who had just arrived, saw this and said: "On the day of the city, he will not descend, fortunately do not kill him." Kill filial piety, the seeds of reading in the world are extinct! ”

"Hmm." Zhu Di nodded lightly in agreement, but in fact, he thought that the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee who had been enemies of him all these years, except for his wife and brother Xu Zengshou and a few people such as Wang Ning, most of the civil and military officials refused to defend themselves. He was almost imprisoned and humiliated by the officials. It can be seen that they are all treacherous villains who do not distinguish between black and white, and it is not a pity to die.

Zhu Di, who was about to win the throne, swept away the modest posture of the previous corporal Lixian, restored the majesty of the royal family, and sneered: "If you descend to the king in the future." They may be forgiven of their previous sins. If you are obsessed. Do you know that this king does not dare to punish people? ”

Xu Hao and Yao Guangxiao both knew too well that Zhu Di had the temperament of revenge, and at the same time glanced at each other worriedly.

At this time, two people walked in, one was the former Beiping envoy. Chen Ying, who was demoted to Guangxi, is Xiao Wei, a former Jinyi guard who has a good relationship with Xu Hao.

Xu Hao suddenly realized why Xiao Wei has always been friendly with him, and he was appointed by the imperial court to obey his orders willingly, daring to love him for a long time Zhu Di's people, it seems that there are many similar people among the old brothers of Jinyiwei, no wonder they have always followed him loyally for many years, and there is no complaint.

How much does Zhu Di know about his secret? Probably clear, Xu Hao watched coldly and secretly guessed in his heart that most of the things he did could not be hidden, and the biggest secret was Dalian, but Dalian was a place without an official government after all, and as the supreme governor of Liaodong, he had the right to open an arsenal and train a large number of craftsmen.

However, Xu Hao had a hunch that Chen Ying and others would definitely impeach him in the future, and even if he was lucky enough not to die, all the actions of Liaodong would be ruined.

The people present can be regarded as Zhu Di's core team, because Zhu Di's expression is very relaxed, Chen Ying and Xiao Wei both knelt down and said respectfully: "The minister has seen His Majesty." ”

Zhu Di first smiled at the complacent, then returned to normal, and said to Xiao Wei first: "You immediately started to prepare for the Jinyi Guard to arrest the rebels for this king." ”

"Obey." Xiao Weiwei said loudly.

Zhu Di turned to Chen Ying and smiled: "After inheriting the unification, when Feng Er is the left deputy imperial envoy of the Imperial Procuratorate, he will be in charge of the affairs of the Academy." ”

Chen Ying immediately understood: "Huang Zicheng Qi Taifang filial piety and other rebellious ministers are unforgivable, in addition, the minister reported Chen Di, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Du, the head of the Ministry of Household Wang Du, the head of the Ministry of Household Guo Ren, the head of the Ministry of Justice, Hou Tai, the head of the Ministry of Justice, Zheng Ci, the head of the Ministry of Industry, Huang Fu, the head of the Ministry of Officials, Mao Taiheng, Chen Jizhi in the matter, Dong Yong, Zeng Fengshao, Wang Du, Gao Xiang, Wei Mian, the former Yu Shi Yin Changlong, the Song people's mansion experienced Song Zheng, Zhuo Jing, Wang Shuying, and the head of the Ministry of Household Jujing. Imperial historian Lian Zining, Dali Shaoqing Hurun, Shaoqing Liao Sheng, Wang Shuying, Ji Shanzhou is Xiu, and Wang Liang are all guilty of unforgivable. ”

Xu Hao stared at Chen Ying, who reported so many names in one breath, it can be seen that he had been instructed by Zhu Di in advance to count the list of ministers who had offended the Yan Palace, which was the eagle dog and executioner of the future Yongle Emperor.

Even if he was executed earlier because of the concubines of the first emperor, he couldn't wait for Qitai Huang Zicheng to taste the pain of no one to help him and die miserably, even if Zhu Di is not as vicious as killing people in history, as long as there are villains such as Chen Ying who are dedicated to inviting favors, the so-called "melon man" implicating innocent people through the ages will only expand rather than decrease.

Zhu Di snorted coldly: "You draft a list of traitorous ministers on behalf of the king tonight, all civil and military officials, military and civilians, etc., tie up traitorous ministers, and the leader will be promoted to three levels, and the servants will be promoted to two levels; Binding officials, those who are the leaders are promoted by two levels, and those who are servants are promoted by one level. ”

Xu Hao was shocked and hurriedly said: "As soon as this list is opened, it will definitely attract many villains to become officials by informing or capturing so-called traitors, how can they be so messy?" Once many people take the opportunity to take revenge on themselves, they extort money, although it is forbidden, they do not stop. ”

Zhu Di frowned and said: "This is a political matter that has nothing to do with you, retreat." ”

Xu Hao glanced at Chen Ying, who was sneering, and turned around without saying a word, Yao Guangxiao wanted to speak at the moment, but he knew more about King Yan's temperament, and finally did not dare to persuade him.

In the capital, seeing that King Yan once again personally refused to cede the land and make peace, on June 12, the worried Zhu Yunwen sent his henchmen to secretly go to various places to urge reinforcements. These people all carried with them an edict sealed with wax pills, and the problem was that some eunuchs spread the matter in the first place. The surrounding roads were occupied by the Yan army, and the people who came out of the Beijing division were strictly guarded against, so most of them were captured, and it was extremely difficult to leave the Beijing division.

Huang Zicheng, who was protected by Zhu Yunwen, fled ahead of schedule, because the reputation of the Yan army was too late to recruit, Wang Shuying recruited troops in Guangde and no one responded, Huang Zicheng wanted to sail to the ocean to recruit troops but did not make the trip, and Qi Tai secretly sneaked back to the capital two days after leaving Beijing.

The ministers who gradually felt desperate began to look for targets to vent their anger, and the imperial historian Wei Mian, Zou Jin of Dali Temple and others agreed that Xu Zengshou, the governor of Zuodu, had colluded with King Yan in private and had two ambitions. A few steps out of the morning class. grabbed the sick Xu Zengshou and beat him, and more than a dozen people around him also hugged him, and after beating Xu Huizu half to death, he asked the emperor to immediately order him to be executed.

This fight. It made Zhu Yunwen change his mind. waved his hand to remove Xu Zengshou's official position. Ordered to go home and think about it behind closed doors.

On June 13, King Yan led his army to prepare to storm the Jinchuan Gate guarded by Li Jinglong and Zhu Lu, the king of the valley.

Gong Tai refused to obey the order of the household department. Jumping down from the city and committing suicide, the elated Yan soldiers cheered and cheered, and poured into the Jinchuan Gate together, and then rushed into the city like a tide.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers who defended all over the place fled one after another, some officers and soldiers resisted to the death, shouts of killing were heard everywhere, many courtiers abandoned their officials and fled for their lives, and more than 40 people left Beijing overnight, and the whole Jinling was in chaos.

Zhu Di knew that it was great, and strictly ordered the generals not to kill innocents indiscriminately, not to commit murder and robbery, and sent his cronies and generals to occupy the palace offices and other key places, and sent 1,000 cavalry to protect the king of Zhou and the king of Qi.

When King Zhou learned that the soldiers were coming, he thought that the time of death was approaching, so he shrank in the room and trembled, and when he knew that it was the Yan army who came to escort and rescue, he was immediately overjoyed: "I am not dead!" ”

Yan Jun escorted King Zhou out of the city, Zhu Di personally greeted the outside of the camp, the two brothers saw each other and cried, after saying a word, the two brothers rode to Jinchuan Gate, turned over and dismounted, held hands and climbed the city tower together.

Suddenly, Qi Tai came out of the inner road with twenty dead soldiers, more than ten meters away, and fired wildly at the two princes with muskets, and immediately beat Zhu Di, the invincible Yan King in the world, into a honeycomb, and fell on his back in disbelief, and died on the spot.

The surrounding Yan soldiers were stunned, one by one, their souls were scattered, Xu Hao escaped by luck because he stood far away, and shouted in grief and indignation: "Catch them, leave them alive first." ”

The generals and captains who came back to their senses rushed forward one after another, and pressed all Qi Tai and the others who had no time to reload to the ground, and many people looked at Xu Hao with faint unkindness.

Xu Hao suddenly raised his hand with a shot, killing a captain who wanted to kill Qi Tai, hundreds of guards around him with muskets to protect him, pointing at the furious Zhu Gaoxu and other knights, and sneered: "Whoever dares to kill people and frame me will be killed." ”

Under the head of the city, Mu Yi, Li Qiu and others rushed over with thousands of people, and confronted each other with angry eyes from King Yan's own soldiers.

Zhang Fu helped Zhu Gaochi to walk over slowly, and shouted loudly: "The prince is here, no one is allowed to mess around." ”

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Xu Hao deeply, his eyes contained suspicion and anger, and when he threw down his sword, he rushed forward and pounced on his father, crying loudly.

Then Zhu Gaochi was helped over with tears in his eyes, and asked Xu Hao sharply, "What the hell is going on?" Why do officers and soldiers have muskets? ”

Xu Hao sighed, frowned and said, "The living mouth is here, follow you to interrogate, this matter has nothing to do with me." ”

Zhu Gaochi's voice trembled and said, "Come on, detain Xu Hao for the time being." ”

Xu Hao calmly handed over the weapon on his body to the guard, and instructed before leaving: "You must protect the prince of the world, and you must not make any mistakes again." ”

At this time, the Beijing division was already in a miserable situation, the streets and alleys were full of Yan soldiers, and the places where the fierce battles had been fought were bloody, even the places where there was no battle were in a mess, and the most frightening thing was that the imperial city was full of fire and thick smoke.

Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng hurriedly walked over when they heard the news, and said to Zhu Gaochi, who was crying bitterly: "Chitose also ask for condolences, in case the whole army knows about this, it will definitely wash the capital in blood." ”

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly raised his hand to wipe away his tears and said: "Quickly carry my father back to the camp, don't let the news leak, quickly send someone to the palace to extinguish the fire and save people, and stabilize the Jingshi." Immediately interrogate the traitor Qi Tai and other wicked people to find out whether the rebellion is related to Xu Hao. (To be continued......)
