Zhu Yunwen was shocked and angry, and shouted sternly: "Do you want me to leave the queen and the prince and escape alone?"
"Your Majesty, the world is under the control of King Yan. A family of three, male and female, is easy to find out. For your Majesty's safety, I can only arrange for your Majesty to leave alone. Of course..."
Luo Kedi glanced at the boxes behind Zhu Yunwen that were filled with priceless gold, jewels and jade, and said calmly: "Your Majesty's personal servant can take a few people with him, and no one cares about their whereabouts."
Zhu Yun staggered back a few steps, with a pale face. Luo Kedi bowed and said: "Your Majesty, King Yan is your uncle after all. Everyone in the world is watching him. It is expected that he will not do anything to a weak girl or child."
The vicious King Yan has entered the city, maybe... he will come soon, please make a decision as soon as possible."
Zhu Yunwen's cheek twitched a few times. He took heavy steps and his legs seemed to be filled with lead. He slowly opened the bead curtain and walked into the palace.
The queen was packing her things in a hurry, and the six-year-old prince stood aside blankly, wondering why his mother was so panicked.
"Queen..."
Zhu Yunwen looked at the queen and said in a trembling voice: "Jinyiwei can only arrange for me to leave alone. It is too easy for a family of three to... be exposed."
After hearing this, the Queen's hands softened, and the bundle she had just lifted fell back onto the couch. She looked at Zhu Yunwen desperately, and saw the sadness on Zhu Yunwen's face, and her expression slowly calmed down: "Your Majesty, I am my concubine... I am my concubine, I understand.
, King Yan can let anyone go, but he must not let go of the emperor. The emperor must go, the emperor... take care of yourself!"
Speaking of this, two lines of clear tears slowly flowed down her cheeks: "Since I have served the emperor, I have never left the emperor's side..."
Zhu Yunwen walked over, gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and cried: "The country's fate is so bad, it's because of my incompetence! The King of Yan hates me to the core, so I have to leave, but when I leave, the queen and the prince will surely fall into the trap of Yan."
The queen, the queen is pure and pure, dignified and virtuous. She is my virtuous queen. From now on...what will you do? I am worried...you will fall into the hands of King Yan and you will not achieve good results..."
The queen understood. She glanced at her son who still didn't know what had happened, and tears burst out of her eyes: "Under the overturned nest, there are intact eggs? What's the point of concubine? It's just... Kuier is still young, he...
...They are our flesh and blood..."
Zhu Yunwen cried and said: "Wen Kui is the prince. How can King Yan behave with himself when he is here? King Yan will never tolerate him. This is fate. If you want to blame him, just blame him for not being born in the emperor's family..."
"Concubine...Concubine, I understand!"
The queen agreed with a trembling voice, hugged her son in her arms, and burst into tears.
Zhu Yunwen wanted to hug them with trembling fingers, but finally just gritted his teeth and staggered out...
A fire broke out in the palace, and the flames burned the sky. The eunuchs and maids screamed in the distance, but they had received strict orders from the emperor, and no one dared to come near. Zhu Yunwen, who had changed into civilian clothes, stood beside several confidants holding treasure boxes.
The eunuch in front took one last look at the palace where the fire was getting higher and higher with tearful eyes, then he hid his face and ran away.
There was no expression on Luo Kedi's face. He glanced at the palace indifferently. A wave of heat hit his face, making his face hot. No one could escape from such a fire. He breathed a sigh of relief.
With a wave of his hand, he led a few people standing behind him like shadows and left in a hurry.
He could easily have left a corpse of a man in the palace who was as tall and as old as the emperor, but he did not do so.
The last order the emperor gave him was to rescue the emperor himself. He would do it, and he would do it perfectly, fulfilling his last duty as a minister. But he could not do it in a flawless manner. The life and death of the emperor
, must be a mystery. He wants the new emperor to clearly know that the person is still alive!
When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dogs are cooked.
Since the time when their predecessor, the Imperial Guards, was the Imperial Guard, the successive leaders of the Jinyiwei had been trying to hide the birds and the dogs, until the last years of Hongwu, when the entire Jinyiwei was hidden in the snow and turned into a dispensable yamen.
.
Helplessly, the flowers have fallen, Jianwen's era is over, and his era of Luo Kedi is also coming to an end. But he must try his best to pass down a legacy and a mantle to his successors. Not only that, but also
We must pave a road for him and a bright future.
No matter whether you, King Yan, "Jing Nan" or "eliminate the traitor", it is always an indisputable fact that your nephew's throne will be replaced by yours. Then what you are most worried about can only be that your predecessor is not dead.
His whereabouts are unknown. You don't know when and where he will appear, claiming that he is the true owner of the Ming Dynasty. You can't demand the world, or even make everyone think that he is really dead. So,
You need hawks and dogs, a group of night guardians.
Is there any more qualified eagle dog or more qualified night guard than Jinyiwei?
Behind him, flames burned the sky.
Luo Kedi's heart also ignited a fire, a fire of hope...

Zhu Di helped Zhu Xi out of the cell, followed by Princess Zhou and her children who were crying with joy. Only the second son of Zhou Wang, the one who falsely accused his father, but did not get Zhu Yunzhen's recognition as king, was afraid of the second prince who was imprisoned together.
He shrunk and walked at the back. His father was rescued and could become the king of Zhou again, but he didn't know how to deal with himself in the future.
Suddenly, Zhu Di stopped. Many people on the street were looking in the same direction and pointing, and he couldn't help but look. Then Zhou Wang Zhu Di also raised his face and squinted his eyes to look into the distance.
To the southeast, tongues of fire soared upwards, bearing the scorching sun. Amidst the billowing smoke, heat waves mixed with many ashes continued to roll on top of the tongues of fire.
The Imperial Palace, that is the Imperial Palace, the location of the Inner Palace.
Zhu Di's mind soared with the rising flames. He flew up into the night sky and looked down at the eight poles. He knew that the last obstacle had disappeared. From now on, he was the master of this world!
In Fang Xiaoru's mansion, on the rockery, Fang Xiaoru held her hands on the rocky mountain and climbed up to look into the distance. Looking at the place where the fire broke out in the imperial palace, she burst into tears.
At the last moment, he did not stay by the emperor's side. Since King Yan besieged the capital yesterday, he has never left his house. The emperor did not summon him, and he did not go to see the emperor. He had no shame in going there again.
He could refute angrily when the courtiers scolded him for their impeachment in the court, but in fact he was harsh in appearance but inwardly quarrelsome. He knew that he was to blame for the court's current situation.
Just as she was crying, a group of soldiers broke into the door. The servants fled in a hurry. Fang Xiaoru slowly turned around and saw a servant pointing at him timidly. Then, an armored general let go and was grabbed by his clothes.
The servant who led him sneered, pointed at him and said, "Catch this old thief!"
In the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Mr. Wu Youdao looked at the fire in the palace from a distance. He sighed while twisting his beard and said to more than a dozen civil servants on the left and right: "When there is a fire in the palace, His Royal Highness King Yan will definitely go to visit. Let me... go and pay homage." Everyone.
The officials nodded one after another and followed Wu Youdao towards the palace.
In the house of Ru Chang, the Minister of the Imperial Ministry, Ru Shangshu was leaning on the eaves of the house holding the ladder, looking at the fire dragon in the distance, and sighed softly: "If the Emperor does not go, will the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty sacrifice their old master or protect the new master?"
, it was an embarrassing thing after all. In the end, the emperor was strong-willed. The dragon controlled the guests, saving the courtiers all the trouble!"
He walked backwards, stepped down from the ladder step by step, dusted his robe sleeves, and calmly ordered: "Prepare the sedan and go to the Meridian Gate!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
On the imperial road leading to the palace, a special group of troops came. Different from the ordinary soldiers of the Yan army who were already on both sides of the imperial road, there were one post every five steps and one post every ten steps. This group of troops had a cloak and a guard tied on their shoulders.
The inner part is red and black, with a cloak embroidered with a flying dragon hidden in it. The horse is galloping forward, like clouds rising in the sky, and looks extremely majestic.
They stopped in front of the Imperial Guard Commander's Office. The Yan army soldiers did not break into each yamen. They only set up sentries on both sides of the imperial road. Although the doors of each yamen were open, the officials and subordinates in the yamen
, the servants and guards also stayed inside calmly, showing a state of being indifferent. This is a cooperative gesture, and they are already waiting to be accepted.
The Yamen's Yamen was no exception. The gate was open, but the guards with swords who were supposed to be guarding the two stone lions, like the guards at other Yamen, moved to the inside of the gate, leaving the world outside to the Yan army.
As soon as this strange team stopped at the yamen gate, the guards standing inside were a little panicked. They subconsciously held down their knives, but did not have the courage to pull them out. Then, they saw those flying dragon cloaks gathered at the end.
The person at the front in the middle is actually their old acquaintance, Yang Xu Yang Baihu.
"Master Yang!"
They didn't cry out, they just muttered in their throats. Xia Xun smiled at them, and their tense muscles immediately relaxed. They were not stupid. Since they saw Xia Xun, of course they knew that these people were coming.
The purpose is not to bloodbath the Jin Yiwei.
The big scene of the king meeting the king will not affect these little shrimps.
"Where is your lord?"
Xia Xun stopped and asked the guard at the door cordially, as if he was still a member of Jinyiwei and was just on duty at the Yamen as before.
Therefore, the guard responded naturally: "Go back to Mr. Yang, Mr. Luo is waiting for you at the back office."
Xia Xun nodded and walked in. The group of guards wearing flying dragon cloaks followed suit. Every time they passed a door, two guards stopped and joined the ranks of guards.
In the back office, there is the moon gate. On the flat road covered with green bricks, there are green weeds. The door and the courtyard pillars are still painted with peeling paint. However, when you look through the moon gate, you can see lush vegetation and happy birds.
Ming, there is a vitality of its own.
Xia Xun raised his hand gently, and the group of officers and soldiers who were still following him immediately stopped. Xia Xun pulled the ribbon tied with the cloak under his chin and gently pulled it. The cloak slipped off his shoulders. Before the cloak could fall to the ground, the one closest to him stopped.
One of the guards bent down and put his cloak on his arm.
Xia Xun gently took off his sword again, handed it to the man's hand, and walked into the courtyard.
