Zhu Zhan was basically ordered to study in the house, and when he heard the news, he threw away the book and hurriedly ran to his father's side. Welcome to Reading Who knew that when he arrived at the Taiping Gate, he found that he could no longer squeeze into the crowd.

The street was crowded with people, all the people who had heard the news and came to cheer for the prince, and in all directions of Zhu Gaochi, they were all densely packed with people, only in front of him was an open field. There was no need for guards to open the way, and people consciously gave way to it, lest they delay the prince moving forward

The sound of cheering was higher and higher, injecting infinite strength into the prince, who was already physically exhausted, and he clearly felt that his legs were infused with strength again, supporting him step by step towards the Taiping Embankment.

Overlooking this scene from the tower of the Taiping Gate, you will feel the most intuitive shock, the long passage that people spontaneously gave up in the crowd that was as black as cháo water, looked like a long sword, stabbing the emperor on the city tower with pain in the eyes.

Zhu Di retracted his gaze and said to Yang Rong, who was standing aside, "What did you see?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the minister saw the emperor's grace." Yang Rong said respectfully.

"Nonsense." Zhu Di snorted and said coldly: "It's clear that people's hearts are back." ”

Yang Rong said secretly, you know the way well, but on his face, he respectfully tidied up his clothes and crowns, and saluted the emperor: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the prince who chooses to deliver the artifact in the future can be supported by the subjects, which is really a blessing for all ages."

What is level? This is called the level Yang Rong's meaning is very clear - he is your heir, if he is unpopular, you can rest assured to hand over the society to him?

Hearing this, Zhu Di still said coldly: "Jianwen is unpopular? ”

Yang Rongxin said, aren't you raising the bar? Emperor Jianwen lost the country, isn't it because your old man is too fierce? "The prince is already an adult and stable, he is really benevolent, how can Jianwen be so fake and benevolent?"

Zhu Di snorted, did not answer, but asked again: "Do you think Zhou Xin can escape this catastrophe?" ”

"If the emperor wants him to die, he will die; The emperor didn't want him to die, so he could live. Yang Rong said meaningfully.

"People say that Xie Jin's intelligence is unparalleled, and I think he is far worse than Er Yang." Zhu Di gave a compliment, in fact, this praise was a compliment to his two sentences before and after: "Yes, if I want him to die, why bother with it?" As he spoke, his eyes turned cold, obviously the hatred and killing intent did not dissipate: "I kept him to let him open his eyes and see, how I made the Ming Dynasty surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties and create the first prosperous era of the ages" Saying that, he actually slammed a nervous punch on the arrow stack, and gritted his teeth and said: "I must prove it to him, the words he scolded me were very wrong"

"The emperor is angry." Yang Rong hurriedly persuaded: "For the sake of a little Zhou Xin, it is too worthless to be angry and break the dragon body." ”

"Or cāo heart yourself." Zhu Di snorted, and then changed the topic: "The general army of Datong has reported that the secret envoy of Arutai has arrived in Datong, and he wants to pay tribute to me, and ask the court to send troops to avenge the thief for the revenge of the late lord Benya, and is willing to lead the troops to be the vanguard." ”

"That's a good thing." Yang Rong had long been accustomed to the emperor's leapfrogging thinking, so he also turned to side affairs. When he heard that Arutai was going to fight Mahamu with the imperial court, he was naturally deeply surprised and very happy, because he thought that the emperor had sent him to Gansu as a punishment, but it turned out that he had an important task.

"It's a good thing. So I will promise him that I will send troops to Warat next year. Zhu Di nodded, and said in a deep voice: "So your trip to Gansu cannot afford to be lost, you must properly solve the attached departments, and you must not allow a tribe to join the banner of Mahamu." ”

"I understand." Yang Rong hugged his fist deeply.

"I'm back in the palace, you don't have to be with you, go back and prepare to go." Zhu Di snorted and turned around to go down to the city tower.

Yang Rong slowly straightened up, looked at the emperor's back, and showed a look of admiration, he finally understood why the emperor finally pardoned Zhou Xin, because another imperial conquest was imminent, and he needed a stable rear, which was the reason for the decision, and nothing else.

Everything focuses on the overall situation, this is the reason why Zhu Di and Yang Guang do the same thing, one succeeds, and the other fails......

At that moment, amid the cheers of the crowd, the prince finally arrived at the Taiping Embankment, and the execution ground on the lonely ridge was close at hand.

Zhu Gaoxu and Ji Gang's gaze fell on the rì sundial, and the hands would cover the carving at noon......

"The time is up" Ji Gang snorted and reminded King Han that he could open the knife.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned by the surging people in the distance, so he came back to his senses, took out the fire stick and threw it on the ground, shouting: "The hour has come, open the knife and behead"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd outside the gate was stunned, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tried his best, but it was still a hundred feet away, and it was about to fall short

At this moment, Wang Xian, who had been persuading others to stay calm, suddenly climbed the fence desperately, and shouted: "The emperor has a decree, keep people under the knife" Immediately after Shuai Hui, Erhei, Wu Wei, Xianyun, Lingxiao, Hengyun, Zhou Yong, more than 200 people shouted in unison: "The emperor has a decree, keep people under the knife"

The shouts quickly spread around the execution ground, and after a few times, they converged into one voice—the sound of the mountains and the tsunami:

"The emperor has a will, the emperor has a will, and the knife keeps people"

The extremely rhythmic sound rolled, completely enveloping the air above the execution ground, suppressing all other sounds, leaving only 'The emperor has a decree, and the knife keeps people, eight words, echoed repeatedly in the field

Zhu Gaoxu and Ji Gang finally changed their faces in unison, and Ji Gang loudly ordered his subordinates to control the situation. But even if the Jinyi guard is vicious, he is helpless at this time. Because everyone is shouting, they don't know who to arrest in the end? The crowd did not storm the Dharma field, and they could not use their knives or guns, so they could only wave their whips in vain, threatening the people: "Shut up, shut up", but they were immediately drowned out by a tenfold and hundredfold sound......

"Hurry up, you" Zhu Gaoxu shouted at Liu Guan, the secretary of the execution department on the execution platform, "What are you stunned about? ”

Over there, Liu Guan pointed to his ears and shook his head vigorously, meaning that the noise was too loud for me to hear clearly

The executioner with the red cloth wrapped around his head on the side, probably a fool who killed someone, held the ghost-headed knife that was dangling, and said in a muffled voice: "Ministry, the prince seems to say, let us use the knife." ”

"I'll chop you first" Liu Guan glared at the goods fiercely, so frightened that he craned his neck and didn't dare to talk nonsense. Liu Shangshu is naturally pretending to be confused, even if he is not a tài sub dǎng person, but a person who can be a Shangshu, how can he not know that Lu Dao is guilty of public anger?

Since this is the case, he asked for xìng to sell his favor to his home, and whispered to Zhou Xin, who was kneeling aside: "Brother Xian, I just don't want to fight the black yarn, and I will also help you drag it until the prince arrives."

Zhou Xin's face did not have half a sense of joy, but the pain could not be hidden.

"How?" Liu Guan said in surprise.

"You can't seek kindness, you can't take righteousness. The emperor didn't let me die, but I became a person who sold my reputation and reputation. When Zhou Xin said this, his voice was already choked: "Besides, according to the "Da Ming Law", the crime of forging military orders is not forgiven, I will not die, where is the code?" ”

"If you say this in front of the prince, it will really be a fame and reputation." Liu Guan sighed.

"Yes...... Zhou Xin sighed deeply, closed his eyes in pain, and stopped talking.

"What should I do?" Seeing that the situation was out of control, Ji Gang looked at King Han with a deep face, "Don't do one and keep doing two?" ”

King Han looked at the crowd with a dark face, and had his own calculations in his heart. Ji Gang is a spy leader who is feared by everyone, and he is naturally not afraid of public anger, but he is aiming for the position of the prince, how can he try to be quick for a while, and do that kind of perverse thing in public? Plain and infamy

After muttering for a long time, he never gave an order, just gritted his teeth, watched the crowd of mountains and tsunamis, and divided a passage from the middle to watch his eldest brother, His Royal Highness the Prince of Daming, Zhu Gaochi, limping in front of him.

You have to admire the power of the jīng god, in the cheers of thousands of people, Zhu Gaochi seems to have been injected with infinite strength, and it is much better than before. In fact, his whole person was in a state of euphoria, and he walked step by step to the execution ground, then threw away his crutches and stood still with his own strength. Trembling took out the yellow silk from his arms and raised his hands high

A bright red word appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the audience knelt down like the wind blowing wheat waves, shouting long live

The onlookers knelt down, the brocade guards who guarded knelt down, and even Liu Shangshu, King Han and Ji Gang also knelt. Inside and outside the execution ground, everyone knelt down, only the crown prince held the word aloft and stood tall in heaven and earth

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live"

"Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose"

The people chanted repeatedly, and this was a sincere cry of their hearts, which was not enough to express their excitement and joy

Zhu Gaoxu and Ji Gang are not interested in half of their appreciation, but the two of them are very human after all. The effort to get down from the high platform has already adjusted his emotions, at least on the surface, there is nothing to see. The two walked up to the prince and arched their hands at him, Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "But I'm in a hurry, the eldest brother finally arrived on time."

Zhu Gaochi nodded, and said with a pale smile: "I can't move a step for my brother, and you won't come to help me." ”

Zhu Gaochu hurriedly held his right arm, and the eunuch in the East Palace held the prince's left arm, but he almost didn't hold it, only to see that Zhu Gaochi's legs were trembling, and he really couldn't move. But whatever, why not collapse now?

The prince's car drove in. Zhu Gaoxu and several eunuchs carried the prince to the car, and he chuckled in his brother's ear: "Big brother is really beautiful today." ”

"I also have to thank the virtuous brother." Zhu Gao Chile said: "If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have this opportunity to show my face." ”

"Hehe......" I don't know if the prince is sarcastic or what, anyway, Zhu Gaoxu's nose is almost crooked.

In the meantime, as soon as Ji Gang withdrew with Jinyiwei, Wang Xian and others rushed to the execution table, and countless hands grabbed Zhou Xin, threw him in the air, and then caught it, threw it again, and then picked it up, and the laughter went straight into the sky
