In the blink of an eye, there were no enemy soldiers who dared to resist on the city, and the generals under the city were eager to try, and they asked the prince for his life to lead the troops to attack the city!

However, the prince did not mean to send troops to attack the city, looked at the trembling Zhao Wangjun at the head of the city, sighed, slowly shook his head and said: "They are all the children of the Ming Dynasty, and it is good to have a few fewer deaths." With that, he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

The generals, who were holding back their energy and couldn't vent their energy, could only say in a muffled voice: "Your Highness is merciful." Then he led his army back. Only Liu Sheng, Zhang Fu, and Mo Wen can vaguely see what the prince means...... In this battle, the prince didn't want any generals to be in the limelight, so as not to create a group of upstarts after the war. On the other hand, the crown prince also needs to show himself to the fullest, what is better than His Royal Highness the prince personally leading the benevolent and righteous division to quell the rebellion. Is it a better script to enter Beijing with the power of a great victory and become the emperor?

Therefore, this battle can only be won by the crown prince in his own way. No one can steal the limelight from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......

Looking at the back of the prince, Zhang Fu couldn't help but secretly regret that he was still too careless, and he actually looked at the prince with old eyes, forgetting that he was already the de facto emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the real Ninety-Five!

Looking at Liu Sheng, Mo Wen and others, who have been quiet, Zhang Fu is even more annoyed, the more he really lives, the more he goes back, it is not as good as Liu Sheng, an old fox, and he is not even as good as a junior......

Liu Sheng, Mo Wen and others also saw Zhang Fu's gaffe in an instant, and when the British Duke walked away, Liu Sheng pursed his lips, squeezed his eyebrows at Mo Wen and said, "It's been so many years, I haven't seen Lao Zhang so unhelpful......

"Hehe," Mo Wen chuckled softly: "If it weren't for losing to Master Hou in Shandong, Grandpa would naturally not be so anxious." Although Mo Wen has always been serious and silent, but now that the overall situation has been decided, most of the haze that has been pressing on his head for a long time has gone, and he is also in the mood to ridicule.

"He lost to me, obviously he was defeated by you." Even so, Liu Sheng couldn't help but smile proudly. The pressure he had on Mo before was ten times and a hundred times greater? When Emperor Yongle was still alive, everyone thought that he and the Liu family were about to suffer a catastrophe, but after some hard struggle, they actually appeared in a good situation today! He actually became a celebrity in front of the new monarch, and even the British Duke was pressed under him! .

Not to mention the prince's army that triumphantly withdrew its troops and returned. Just said that on the head of the city, Zhao Wangjun, who was like a frightened bird, waited until all the enemy troops under the city retreated, and only dared to poke his head out, looked at the city blankly, and looked at each other, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the prince's army, why did he shoot a shot and turn around and leave?

At this time, someone found that the arrows shot by the prince into the city were wrapped with yellow silk on the arrow shafts, and the soldiers of Zhao Wangjun picked up the arrow shafts and took off the yellow silk to see that there was an edict from His Royal Highness the Prince, and it was also stamped with the prince's seal. However, most of the officers and soldiers were illiterate, and they gathered around their comrades who were coarse and literate, urging: "Hurry up, what is written on it." ”

"It says...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, and you and others are all Ming soldiers, and most of them are just acting on orders, not following them with their hearts...... Rebellion. The literate officers and soldiers covered their mouths and spit, hid the word 'Zhao Rebellious', and then read: "If you can wake up, give up resistance, and surrender to the prince, not only can you not blame the past, but you can also restore your military status and continue to serve as a soldier for the Ming Dynasty!" Speaking of the back, the voices of those officers and soldiers involuntarily became high-pitched.

"Scared! And this good thing! The soldiers of Zhao Wangjun, who were in a panic all day, suddenly seemed to have picked up a life-saving straw, and they couldn't help themselves with excitement.

"Not only that, but there are ...... behind" The literate officers and soldiers looked behind them excitedly, but their voices stopped abruptly. The others urged one after another, but the literate officers and soldiers waved their hands and said: "I can't read it, I can't read it......

"What can't I remember!" The blind jumped to their feet in a hurry, stared at the words on the yellow silk and said, "Aren't they just some names, and there are prices?!" "No matter how illiterate people are, they can recognize the commonly used surnames of Zhao, Qian, Sun and Li, even if they know one to ten.

When they opened their eyes, the blind began to try to guess and piece together the content behind: "This is called Zhu or something, fifty thousand taels; The surname Gao is 30,000 taels, the surname Tian is 30,000 taels, and the surname Chen is also 20,000 taels......"

At this time, the wise young man patted his thigh and said, "Isn't this the prince, oh no Your Majesty, and the surnames of the three generals!" ”

"It's definitely a reward!" Everyone was convinced.

"Yes! There is no Liu and Ma, it must be because they have passed last night! Someone immediately added.

"This is not what we are talking about...... the literate guy said impatiently while brushing it off: "This is indeed a reward, it is a price offered by His Royal Highness the Prince, whether it is life or death!" ”

"Hey......" The officers and soldiers burst out into a burst of inhalation, and then regretted, if Liu Ma and the others were still in the city, the reward on this list would definitely be much greater......

At the head of the city, the original desperate and frustrating atmosphere was swept away, and the fire of hope was rekindled in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of King Zhao.

The soldiers of Zhao Wangjun openly discussed how to surrender and how to take down Zhu Gaosui and others, such a big rebellious remark, but no officers stopped drinking, because the officers also held the prince's edict and calculated a way out.

With such a big movement, it was naturally impossible to hide from the people around Zhu Gaosui, and the eunuchs who followed Zhu Gaosui hurriedly presented the several copies of the prince's edict collected to His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhu Gaosui was using the imperial meal, I heard that the prince recruited his subordinates, said that the first evil must be done, the threat never asked, and still indifferent, with a jade chopstick to deal with the anchovy on the plate, slowly said: "The anchovy is delicious, but there are many thorns, although I have long been familiar with this way, but I am afraid that the descendants will have young people to harm it in the future, and today I have set a rule, anchovy is not allowed to enter the imperial diet." ”

The eunuch on the side lamented in his heart, 'How can there be a future!' But he could only nod with a sad face: "The slave has written it down." ”

"What's the use of you writing it down, you have to write it down in your living notes." Zhu Gaosui snorted coldly.

"Living note?" The eunuch was stunned for a moment, swallowed and salivaed: "Back to Your Majesty, I haven't had time to arrange for the housekeeper to do the living note." ”

"Bastard, there is no living note, how will future generations know my words and deeds, and how to quote them as ancestral teachings." Zhu Gaosui glanced at the eunuch coldly, "Don't go quickly!" ”

"Yes." The eunuch had no choice but to go out, and when he happened to meet an official, he seized him and entrusted him with this glorious task.

The official was originally a miscellaneous official of the nine grades, and today's ceremony was sealed as the book of the Ministry of Rites, which can be described as 'one step to the sky', and he had to give 'His Majesty the Emperor' a face, so he had to agree hard, but he couldn't find a suitable blank book for a while, so he couldn't just take a piece of paper and go in, right? That's too informal.

Or the eunuch had a way, found a book of rites made for the enthronement ceremony, and stuffed it into the official's hand.

The official saw that the gilded leather surface and the fine paper were indeed very decent, but when he opened it, he said with a bitter face: "There are words on it!" ”

"It's not empty." The eunuch flipped through the book, and he didn't care.

"Just one page ......"

"That's enough." The eunuch waved his hand, pushed the official in, and muttered behind him, "I'm afraid this emperor is at the end of the day, and he hasn't used up a page yet......"

When the living note official entered, he saw that Zhu Gaosui was looking through the pages of the prince's edict, so he stood aside and wrote on the 'living note', "On the sixth day of the sixth month of the sixth month of the first year of the dragon and phoenix, the palace of Tongzhou was stationed, and the pseudo-prince's soldiers surrounded him, and the arrows were shot to recruit the documents into the city, and there were many great rebellious words. When unitary, use the imperial meal, read it......

At this point, the official stopped his pen and watched Zhu Gaosui's next reaction.

I saw Zhu Gaosui squinting, his expression was elusive, he pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Summoning the Qing's family to the Qinzheng Palace to discuss matters." ”

The living note official twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "What kind of diligent palace, isn't it the signing room of the government office?" But he had no choice but to take notes: 'The minister of the Divine Order is discussed in the Qinzheng Palace.' ’

The eunuch hurriedly asked someone to summon the 'minister', Zhu Gaosui got up and went over, glanced at the living note official and said, "Did you write down what I said during the meal?" ”

"This is something that the minister has never heard." The living note official said softly. The eunuch hurriedly whispered in his ear, and the living note official hurriedly wrote: "The emperor ordered that no anchovies should be prepared in the imperial dining room, thinking that it was the ancestral system. ’。

A moment later, Zhu Gaosui's 'Minister of Ministers' today appeared in the 'Qinzheng Palace', but the number was less than half of the previous number, and it is estimated that those people had fled.

Zhu Gaosui didn't care, sat on the 'dragon chair', accepted everyone's worship, and distributed the prince's edicts to them, so that they could speak freely.

Those guys who can still appear until now, in addition to loyal people, are full of official fans! You know, before today, they were no more than seven grades, how could they be qualified to go to court? Not to mention talking in front of the 'emperor'. Either way, it's natural to express your opinion at this time, and even if you've been addicted to the Minister of Military Aircraft, it's also very good.

The officials of the living note moved their pens like flying and recorded the words of the people: 'Zhang Shunjuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said: The pseudo-prince is rebellious, and he dares to offer a reward to arrest the emperor, and he should fight to the death. 'The Governor of the Metropolitan Gou Sanlu said: I am willing to bring the army out of the city and vent my anger for Your Majesty. Ma Yu, the head of the household, said: The thief is strong, and he can't hit the stone with an egg......

The 'ministers' vied with each other to speak, and spit splashed everywhere, just bitter for the living note official, and in the blink of an eye, a page was written...... Then he was dumbfounded. I couldn't let them stop and wait for me to change the book, so I had to grit my teeth and write on the inside of the cover......

Of course, he also learned to be obedient, no longer recording the nonsense of those officials, just waiting for Zhu Gaosui to speak.

Finally, after everyone finished spraying spittle, Zhu Gaosui slowly spoke: "The loyalty and courage of the Qing family to ask for war is commendable, but it is against heaven and earth to fight in the same room, I can't bear to see the soldiers and civilians in trouble, and agree to ......peace talks."

'Why do people say they want peace talks?' The official couldn't help but slander, but he had no choice but to take notes: "I said: It is against heaven and harmony to fight in the same room, and I can't bear to see the soldiers and civilians in distress, so I agree to peace talks." ’
