Su Ying sat under the lamp, holding her pink cheeks in her hands, her long eyelashes blinking from time to time, and a blur of light gleaming in her eyes. Looking at her lost look, she didn't know what she was thinking.
Suddenly, there were three gentle knocks on the door, two long and one short. Su Ying jumped up like a rabbit that had been hit by an arrow. She nervously pulled at the skirt of her clothes and plucked the hair on her temples. He was about to open his mouth to call people in, and quickly rushed to the dressing table, carefully looked at his appearance in the bronze mirror, and confirmed that there was no provocation. Then he stood up and called: "Please come in!"
She suddenly noticed that her voice was trembling slightly, and she couldn't help cursing secretly that she had no future. She had grown up among men. When had she ever been afraid of men? But at this time...
The door creaked open, and Xia Xun walked in slowly. She hadn't seen him for more than a year. Su Ying originally thought that she would be calm when she saw him, but as soon as she saw his figure, her eyes immediately became disappointed. The ground became so wet that those who looked at him were a little hazy.
The door "squeaked" and closed again.
"Ying'er, I haven't seen you for a year, but you are still so beautiful. Well... your skin tone is paler and you seem to have gained a little weight. Is the food on Shuangyu Island more delicious?"
She was close to him, but she was not his wife. Xia Xun didn't know what to say when he saw her. The moment he walked in, he decided to say some light words first to break the barrier between the two. In an awkward and reserved atmosphere, it would be easier to talk by then.
Before Xia Xun finished speaking, Su Ying, who originally just wanted to stand there reservedly, suddenly threw herself into his arms and interrupted his words. She hugged him so tightly, and with Xia Xun's strength, she actually had Feeling breathless, Xia Xun was stunned for a while, then slowly opened his arms and hugged her back, chest to chest. Listening to her powerful heartbeat, Xia Xun seemed to I understood all the unspoken emotions buried in her heart.
"Ahem..., Yinger..."
Xia Xun coughed and wanted to say some comforting words to her. Suddenly, he found that he couldn't say anything. A low sob came from his shoulder. Then his shoulder hurt, and she bit her hard. Lived.
Xia Xun endured the pain and hugged her until he felt his shoulders were wet, then he said softly: "I asked you to come with me, but you refused. Alas... How have you been doing this year?"
Su Ying suddenly wiped her tears with her clothes, stepped away, straightened her face, and said in a stiff voice that was obviously still sobbing: "Stop talking nonsense, I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of Shuangyu Island today. Tell me, you want us to help you, what benefits are you promising us? Also, who is the person you want us to send?"
Xia Xun smiled and said, "Look, this is our heroic third boss. Well, that fierce look is back."
Su Ying's face turned red, her almond-shaped eyes widened and she said, "You have a lot of free time, don't you? If you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll beat you up?"
"Believe it, I believe it!"
Xia Xun smiled even more cheerfully: "Anyway, it hit me and it hurts your heart. I don't know who is more sad."
"you!"
Su Ying was so embarrassed that she raised her fist fiercely, landed it gently on his chest, and said angrily: "Will you tell me or not?"
"Say it, say it now!"
Xia Xun's face straightened, he took her hand and walked to the bed. Su Ying suddenly felt her heart pounding, and she was so nervous that she couldn't breathe. She said in a confused voice: "You... what are you doing? My people are all here. It’s outside.”
Xia Xun said: "Come, sit down and talk, it's important and we can't let anyone hear it."
Su Ying felt relieved, but she was slightly disappointed. Even if she couldn't do some things, she still had high expectations. Although she could not allow you to do it, you couldn't think about it. A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, even if she is a woman. Pirates are no exception.
"What, you...why are you doing this?"
After listening to Xia Xun's words, Su Ying's eyes widened in surprise. Xia Xun smiled and said, "Why, are you afraid?"
Su Ying curled her lips and said: "That's strange, we are not his obedient subjects of the Ming Emperor. We were originally engaged in business that was against the imperial court, so why are we afraid of him? But... why are you doing this? You are not from King Yan. Na."
Su Ying looked at him intently, with a very worried look on her face. Xia Xun felt warm in her heart and replied softly: "Originally not, but as long as I save Prince Yan and his two brothers and leave, then I will. "
Su Ying wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows and said: "I don't understand. You are now serving as a royal guard and have a great future. Why risk beheading your head? How could King Yan succeed? Since ancient times, has there been a vassal king who established the imperial court? Can it be successful?"
Xia Xun said: "Wealth comes from danger. Without taking risks, how can you have great wealth? There is indeed no successful precedent for a vassal king to rebel, and I think... there will never be one in the future. However, King Yan..., oh, No, it should be said that King Yan and Emperor Jianwen are both unprecedented, haha..."
Su Ying said: "I have heard of King Yan's reputation. It seems that he is very good at fighting. Do you admire him very much?"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "He is not a saint, but he is a very great person. At least... he is better than the emperor who only lives in a dream and is fooled by a group of rhetorical rotten people. I believe... he must be It will work!"
Su Ying suddenly laughed happily, and Xia Xun asked curiously: "Why are you laughing?"
Su Ying said: "Okay, I will help you. If you succeed, it will be good. If you fail and become a prisoner of the imperial court, that... is not bad. Then you can escape to the sea. I said, no matter what you do, When the time comes, I will take you in."
Under the light, her smile is as charming as a flower.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"You really don't want to come with me?"
The plan was decided, and when Xia Xun stood up to leave, he couldn't help but ask another question.
Su Ying said: "Where are we going with you? You will have to flee soon. I am still waiting for you to come to me. Besides, the sea is my root. It was before and even more so now. I...can't leave there." "
Xia Xun shook his head and said with a helpless smile: "Well, if I don't have a foothold in the future, I will definitely look for you."
“It’s a deal!”
Su Ying was looking forward to it. She didn't believe that a mere King Yan could fight against the rich emperor. She originally didn't expect Xia Xun to join her one day, but now it seemed that there was really hope.
In fact, it was not just Su Ying who didn't believe it. In fact, apart from Xia Xun, even King Yan himself didn't believe it. Zhu Yuanzhang put a lot of effort into the feudal vassals. First of all, the guards and horses directly under each vassal were extremely weak and incapable. Confronted with the imperial army, and the vassals did not have complete control over the political and economic affairs within the vassal state. This was unlike the feudal states of the Han Dynasty, which had more autonomy than the feudal states of the Ming Dynasty.
Secondly, the various vassals are intertwined with each other. Take Yan Fan as an example. Ning Fan is in the northeast, Jin Fan and Qin Fan are in the west, and Zhou Fan is in the south. Unless these vassal kings all follow Yan Fan to rebel, otherwise as long as Yan Fan
If the vassal raises a rebel flag, he will have to open up the territory of the Zhou vassalage in the south to attack the imperial court. On the way, he will encounter the Qi vassal who will attack his right wing, and the Ning vassal will attack his heart from behind. The Qin vassal and the Jin vassal can cross the Taihang Mountains and attack the Yan vassal left wing.
, simply being attacked everywhere.
In addition, there are nearly 400,000 elite troops of the Beijing Guard directly guarding near Nanjing, which can give them a head-on attack. During this period, the Qinwang's divisions from all over the country can come one after another. With Zhu Yuanzhang's careful arrangements and such a powerful military force, unless
The imperial court was extremely weak and had lost all the people's hearts in the world. Otherwise, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's calculation, it would have been impossible to fail.
However, Zhu Yunwen happened to break this record. Zhu Gaoxu was the most talented among the three sons of King Zhu Di of Yan. During the Battle of Jingnan, his prestige in the army far exceeded that of his brother Zhu Gaochi. But when Zhu Gaochi died, Zhu Gaochi
When Zhanji succeeded to the throne, Zhu Gaoxu raised an army to seize his nephew's throne, but was defeated by Zhu Zhanji in a battle. He was defeated miserably. Compared with the two, Zhu Yunwen was simply a loser.
I don’t know if his head is just for breathing. He spent four years and mobilized more than a million troops to fight against Zhu Di in Peiping based on the overall situation of the empire. Not only did he fail to eliminate Zhu Di, but he also caused his own death.
The destruction of the country created the only example in Chinese history of a vassal king successfully attacking the central government. It can be regarded as an unprecedented and unprecedented genius!
Will this unprecedented and unprecedented genius take the initiative to release people? If he takes the initiative to release Zhu Gaochi and others back to Peiping, then it will probably be too much trouble for him, right?
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"I'm freezing to death, I'm freezing to death, add a quilt, add another quilt to me."
Zhu Di sat cross-legged on the kang, hugging several quilts, with a big stove in front of him. His forehead was covered with sweat, his face was as red as blood, but his teeth were chattering, as if he was extremely cold, and he was still screaming.
Someone puts a quilt on him.
Concubine Xu said with tears: "Two adults, you have also seen that Your Highness... He heard that King Xiang died of suicide. After crying bitterly, he became insane and became like this. Now everyone in the palace
People are panicking, and I, a woman who is a Taoist, don’t know what to do, so I can only ask the emperor to let Gao Chi and others come back quickly, firstly to take care of my father’s illness, and secondly... in case..."
At this point, Concubine Xu burst into tears and was speechless.
The new Chief Envoy of Peking, Zhang Bing, and the Commander-in-Chief, Xie Gui, looked at King Yan, who had straight eyes and giggled from time to time. They looked at each other again and nodded in unison: It seems that King Yan is really crazy.
Either they were driven crazy or they were frightened. Although the purpose of the two people going to Peking was to deal with King Yan, seeing King Yan end up like this, they still couldn't help but want to hide.
Zhang Bing comforted him with kind words: "Princess, please don't be anxious. Please seek medical advice as soon as possible. Your Majesty's son has always been strong, and he might recover. Regarding the above request from the imperial court to return the crown prince and the two princes,
I will take care of it immediately."
Concubine Xu wiped her tears, forced a smile and said, "Thank you two adults."
At this time, King Yan became impatient on the couch and shouted: "Why don't you bring me a quilt? I'm freezing to death. Come on, come on, give me another brazier."
Concubine Xu said hurriedly: "Ah, my lords, once Your Highness gets mad, he will hit people randomly. Let's go out quickly."
Xie Gui looked at the rope he was holding and stood in the corner of the palace, eyeing the four palace guards of King Yan. He couldn't help but shook his head, sighed, and followed Concubine Xu out.
The head of the palace, Shi Gecheng, stood on tiptoe, as if he was afraid of trampling an ant on the ground, and was about to leave the palace quietly. Zhang Yu, the commander of the palace guards, suddenly appeared in front of him with his sword drawn, and said with a smile: "Master Ge, where are you going?"
"Oh, I...I..."
Ge Cheng was surprised at first, and then said: "I haven't been home for a few days. I am worried about my family's expectations, so I thought... I just went back to take a look."
Zhang Yu laughed, let go of the hilt of the sword, walked to him, held his arm, and walked back, saying: "Why should you worry, Mr. Chang Shi? You are in the palace, not out to fight. What's good at home?" Worried, besides, the lower official has sent someone to inform the Lord's Palace. Now that the prince is suffering from a mad disease and the three princes are not in Peiping, Lord Ge, as a long history officer, has to shoulder the responsibilities of the Prince Yan's Palace. At this time If you leave, who will take care of you in the palace?"
Ge Cheng saw that Zhang Bing and Xie Gui were accompanied by Princess Yan in person and could not deliver the news. He wanted to leave the palace by himself, but he didn't want to be watched by Zhang Yu again. He just complained in his heart and felt helpless. He suddenly saw Li Rui, the guest of honor of the palace, leaving the palace. Walking in front of the family temple, I remembered that the last time the court ordered King Yan to discuss the crimes of King Zhou, this Li Rui was also on the side of the court, and my heart suddenly moved.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
King Yan is crazy!
Zhang Bing and Xie Gui's memorial arrived in the capital in a 600-mile hurry. Zhu Yunwen was shocked and hurriedly summoned his confidants to discuss the matter. Just when everyone was doubtful that King Yan was suffering from a mad disease, Zhang Bing and Xie Gui's second memorial came again. Here we go: King Yan is pretending to be crazy.
It turned out that Zhang Bing and Xie Gui believed it was true that King Yan was suffering from madness, and immediately reported it to the court. Unexpectedly, Li Rui, the guest of honor at Prince Yan's palace, came quietly and reported to them a shocking news: King Yan was pretending to be crazy. This The news was revealed to him by Shi Gecheng, the chief minister of the Prince of Yan. Because the Prince of Yan had become suspicious of Ge Cheng and was unable to leave the palace because of people watching him, he persuaded Li Rui out of his righteousness and Li Rui came to report the news.
Zhang Bing and Xie Gui broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly thanked Li Rui. They hurriedly sent someone to deliver the truth to the capital via the 800-mile express. Because they were in such a hurry, the two memorials were almost immediately preceded by each other. Sent to the imperial court.
Fang Xiaoru said: "There is indeed a deceit. King Yan is stoic and has experienced many battles. How could he be frightened by the death of King Xiang and lose his mind?"
Huang Zicheng said: "The King of Yan's treacherous plan is just like Sun Bin's method of deceiving Pang Juan."
Qi Tai said coldly: "My lords, Zhang Bing and Xie Gui's memorial has arrived, and the emperor already knows a lot about it. Who is the mastermind behind what King Yan did? Have you thought about it?"
Huang Zicheng's expression changed and he lost his voice: "No, King Yan is really going to rebel!"
Fang Xiaoru said: "Yes, if he is just pretending to be crazy to protect himself, why use this as an excuse to ask your Majesty to allow the third son to return to Peiping?"
Qi Tai turned to Zhu Yunwen hurriedly and said: "Your Majesty, King Yan's rebellion has been revealed. We cannot hesitate any longer. We should start immediately to capture King Yan!"
Huang Zicheng asked anxiously: "There is no evidence of guilt, how to start?"
Qi Tai said: "In urgent matters, we don't have to worry about much. Your Majesty, those who have achieved great things have not adhered to trivial matters since ancient times. As for the evidence of crime, we can let the Jin Yiwei come up with a solution. As long as they can come up with some decent reasons, that's all. It's really not possible.
Even if we can make up the evidence afterwards, we have to take action now. It is better to strike first. If it is too late, it will definitely take a lot of effort to capture King Yan!"
Zhu Yunwen slapped the case and said: "Okay, let's do it!"
***: There are too many scenes that cannot be described in profile in the section of the vassal reduction. If I describe it in a positive way, given the status of the protagonist, there are not many opportunities to participate, so I can only try my best to create opportunities for the protagonist to participate in it and make it a part of the story.
This story is shown to everyone.
The specific language and mental descriptions of these historical figures are of course created by the author, but the stories used in the book are not fabricated by the author. Although his words can be fake, his actions are nakedly there.
