Yang Feng looked at Yao Guangxiao who was kneeling in front of him.
The latter is quite calm.
Although he did kneel down in front of Yang Feng with a humble look, as if he had made a mistake and was waiting for punishment, he did not show much concern about the current situation that was obviously out of control...
Zhu Di had already broken through from Kaifeng.
Of course, this was what Yang Feng told him.
In fact, the kings did not want to kill Zhu Di, they just did not want Zhu Di to be the emperor. Lan Yu's instigation made them anxious. If Lan Yu really chose to support Zhu Di as the throne, then there would basically be no other outcome.
.But Zhu Di, a powerful monarch, was unacceptable to the vassal kings. It happened that Zhu Yunwen's envoy came to Kaifeng and asked the kings to recognize his status as supervisor of the country.
Of course Zhu Di didn't admit it.
His previous propaganda was that the emperor wanted to kill King Guangze.
He is the elder of the clan and must uphold justice.
But the emperor was suddenly killed, and King Guangze was suddenly appointed to supervise the country. This was obviously problematic and needed to be investigated clearly, but he was actually paving the way for Yao Guangxiao's next move...
He must remain righteous.
He suspected that there was something wrong with the matter, and then refused to recognize the country.
Immediately afterwards, the news came that Yao Guangxiao had changed his position.
Naturally, he turned to attack Zhu Yunwen, the regicide rebel.
Perfect.
However, several vassal kings headed by King Qin chose to recognize Zhu Yunwen's supervision of the country.
They had made an appointment.
Although Zhu Yunwen killed his younger brother, he did not communicate with the kings.
But everyone also understands.
Zhu Yunwen can only become emperor after Zhu Yunwen's death. Therefore, although the kings did not participate in the regicide conspiracy, they knew that Zhu Yunwen definitely wanted to regicide, and even secretly encouraged it.
Zhu Di's support for Zhu Yunwen is not a secret either.
At least the kings also knew it well.
You supported him in raising troops in Suzhou, you supported him in fighting against the emperor, but now that he succeeded, you turned around and disowned him?
You are wrong!
After a quarrel, the kings returned to their camps.
In the middle of the night, the King of Qin and the King of Jin suddenly attacked the Yan King's camp with their guards.
But the King of Liao told the King of Yan in advance.
Zhu Di immediately summoned guards, and then Dai Guqing and other kings used the reason that King Yan wanted to rob the kings to gather guards to join the battle. King Liao finally thought about it and supported King Yan, and King Ning also supported King Yan. In the end, the kings fought in Kaifeng.
.
The three kings of Yan, Liaoning and others rushed out of Kaifeng and returned to the north.
The two kings of Zhou Su were neutral.
They chose to lead their troops to retreat westward.
The remaining kings, under the leadership of the King of Qin, accepted Zhu Yunwen as the governor of the prison state, and went south from Kaifeng to pursue Lan Yu. It was just a symbolic pursuit. The pursuit with the few troops they had was useless. The previous resistance for half a year was purely defensive and field battles.
They mainly rely on the guards of the two kings of Yan and Liao. They are the only ones left now. Lan Yu can be slapped to death if he turns around, but he still has to give chase symbolically.
"Ambassador, this poor monk has never understood that since the ambassador knew that in history, it was King Yan who ruled the world, he still refused to support King Yan.
You have always been on good terms with King Yan.
After King Yan ascends the throne, he will treat you with kindness and respect."
Yao Guangxiao said.
"I have been fighting with you Emperor Daxing for these years, and I don't want to continue fighting with a replica for the rest of my life. What if I lose control one day and do something that hurts my feelings."
Yang Feng sneered.
"The young monk is confused.
But now that things have come to this, is there any other candidate for ambassador?
Naturally, King Guangze could not succeed to the throne because he committed regicide. The two kings of Jianchang were brothers from the same mother, so they were not worthy of succeeding. No one from the Xingzong lineage could succeed. The remaining kings, no matter how long or talented, are not the kings of Yan.
Damn, does the ambassador really want all the people in the world to wait five months to bet that the queen will give birth to a prince?
So what if she is a princess?"
Yao Guangxiao said quickly.
"I think you are thinking too much. Who will inherit the throne? Should you, a monk, worry about it, or should I, an outsider, worry about it? This is the Ming royal family's own business. You should not care about worldly affairs after becoming a monk.
Go and recite Buddha’s name honestly!”
Yang Feng shouted.
Yao Guangxiao quickly admitted his mistake.
Then he saw that Yang Feng really had no intention of killing him, so he quickly resigned honestly.
"Why haven't you killed him?"
Sister Liu asked.
"Why should I kill him? This kind of person is actually very useful. Not only am I not going to kill him, I also want to throw him out to harm others. This kind of person is the so-called poisoner. He likes to play this kind of secret manipulation in his heart.
The game of chaos. Since he likes it, there will be plenty of places for him to use his advantages in the future. Besides, manipulation of chaos requires strength after all. Without enough strength, it can only be a joke."
Yang Feng said.
There will be plenty of places for people like this in the future.
He holds the title of eminent monk, so it would be great to send him as an envoy to Southeast Asia in the future.
There are a lot of Buddhists in Nanyang.
Although the schools of faith are different, for a person with his IQ, this is not worth mentioning at all. He can even be allowed to represent the imperial court on the plateau to exchange Buddhist teachings, and then he can do whatever he wants.
Anyway, with Ming's backing, there is no problem with his strength.
"So how are you going to end this?"
Sister Liu asked.
"It's not how I plan to end this. An outsider like me should not interfere in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty."
Yang Feng said sincerely.
"I understand, you are an outsider and should not interfere. Your woman can interfere as she pleases. Anyway, whoever dares to harm your woman is your private matter. Since it is a private matter, you can do whatever you want."
Sister Liu said with disdain.
"Your understanding is absolutely correct."
Yang Feng said with a smile.
And his woman...
Beijing.
"Don't Fourteenth Aunt recognize Yun Wen? Why are we using swords against him?"
Zhu Yunwen stood outside Shence Gate, looking like he was crying, looking at his aunt on the city wall.
Behind him, his brother's coffin was being pulled by a horse-drawn carriage. The season was not very good and it was already a bit hot. According to the situation, his brother would probably stink inside. But it was obvious that he did not consider this issue. He took his brother with him.
The main purpose of bringing his brother's coffin here is to act as a shield. After all, given the current situation, it is not impossible to shoot him directly from the city wall. But with his brother's coffin by his side, there is no need to worry about this problem at all.
He is also helpless now.
The persistence of the capital broke the illusions of his armchair Confucian scholars...
The latter told him that there would be no resistance from anyone in the capital.
He is currently the first heir to the throne.
This status couldn't be more correct, so as long as his honor guard arrives in the capital, the civil and military officials of the capital will open the door to greet him. The only thing left is for him to enter the palace as a supervisor to meet the Queen Mother, and then the Queen Mother will personally authorize him to supervise the country, and then to supervise the country.
You can take over the throne after being in charge.
As for the child in his sister-in-law's belly...
It's a small thing, not worth mentioning.
With the abortion laws these days, this baby wouldn't last more than a month.
However……
Not all of them were wrong.
The civil and military officials indeed thought so, but unfortunately they are still imprisoned in the Daqing Palace by his aunt.
Those who stayed outside were unable to mobilize any soldiers.
They underestimated the princess's control over the city. The people's money in the capital was deposited in her bank, their livelihoods depended on her factories, and their farming relied on her fertilizers. It can be said that the entire city's economy depends on her.
This city can speak better than the emperor.
Her father discovered it when he was here.
Once when Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood, he joked that he wanted to change her title to Princess Yingtian.
Her control over the city caused Zhu Yunwen's attack to fail miserably.
A real fiasco.
The dead bodies of his bodyguards are still piled next to him!
In just one round of strong attack, more than 3,000 Japanese slaves fell under the city, and the casualties on the city wall may not have exceeded double digits. After all, the Japanese slaves did not yet have cannons in their hands.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has been entrusted by the prince to supervise the country. If you escort His Majesty Zi Gong back to Beijing, then you can bring Zi Gong in by yourself. However, you are charged with the crime of falsely passing on the imperial edict of Emperor Daxing. This matter is serious and cannot be ignored after all.
It happened. Therefore, the queen ordered me to take you to Wutai Mountain to keep you under temporary custody until the kings are buried to discuss how to deal with it. But don’t worry, we are a family after all, and we are just kowtowing to Emperor Daxing to admit our mistakes. As for you
Since you are claiming to be the King of Wu by falsely passing on the imperial edict, these guards are naturally illegal and the court will deal with them on their own, so they have nothing to do with you."
His aunt was dressed in a princess's court dress and said gracefully on the city wall.
"Fifteenth Aunt, why do you treat Yunwen like this?"
Zhu Yunwen continued to perform tragically.
His aunt stood there and looked at him deeply...
Zhu Yunwen suddenly had a very bad feeling.
"You still have the nerve to call me Fourteenth Aunt. How did your brother die? Do you really want me to tell you in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians?"
His aunt shouted like she was bursting into laughter.
At this moment, a familiar figure appeared next to his aunt.
"Zhang Xianzong, in front of these soldiers and civilians, tell us all the circumstances when His Majesty was killed that day."
the little princess shouted.
Zhang Xianzong, who had just fled all the way back to Beijing and was a little haggard from hiding in Tibet, looked at Zhu Yunwen outside the city and immediately recounted the situation at that time, from when Huang Yue left the city to make an appointment with the emperor for him to meet at Fengqiao, to Fengqiao
During the meeting, Fang Xiaoru's regicide and his performance during the period, as well as the performance of Wu Shouan and others who accompanied him, were fully told. The little princess even found a few people to demonstrate live on the city wall.
"I don't want to say anything. I just want to say that everyone has their own intentions. Even traffickers and lackeys are not fools. I believe in Academician Zhang. I have known him since childhood and know that he is loyal to His Majesty. Now that he has told what happened at that time, what happened?
What's going on? You have your own judgment in your heart."
said the little princess.
The surrounding soldiers and civilians looked at Zhu Yunwen outside with contempt.
Indeed, everyone has his own intention.
None of them are fools.
Zhang Xianzong and those few people have clearly demonstrated the process of the emperor's murder. If Zhu Yunwen and Fang Xiaoru hadn't cooperated with each other, Tamar would not believe it!
One of you pretended to surrender to make the emperor believe it, one of you used negotiations to coax the emperor to meet at the most suitable place to take action, one of you attracted the emperor's attention, and the other took the opportunity to get closer and take action. Saying that it was not your instigation, your brother fell into the water only ten feet away, and dozens of guards jumped
Go down and save him, where are you standing idly by? Even if you stretch out the boat pole, your brother will not die, but you are there watching him drown, and now you say you are innocent?
What a fool?
After playing the good guy for so many years and pretending to be a wise king, you ended up murdering your own brother?
Zhu Yunwen stood there, obviously at a loss.
"The princess colluded with Zhang Xianzong, and the princess colluded with Zhang Xianzong to kill the king. She wants Yang Feng to steal the Ming Dynasty, so let's shoot her to death!"
Huang Zicheng shouted behind him like he was having a convulsion.
Then Huang Zicheng also dragged a soldier beside him who was not a Japanese slave.
The latter looked at the princess.
Then he dropped the magical gun in his hand to the ground as quickly as possible, and the match rope was immediately soaked in the water.
Shoot the princess?
Who dares!
Ambassador Yang will kill his whole family, and no one in the world can protect him.
The little princess smiled contemptuously on the city wall.
"Huang Zicheng, right?
I remember the heads of your nine clans.
It seems that you don't want to hide it. Let's wait until you can open the capital. Lan Yu's army should go south. You don't have a few days left. Guess what he will do with you when he returns with an army of 200,000.
?And the gentry behind you, guess what he will do to them?
You also said that I want to recommend Yang Feng as emperor?
Ha, do you think the soldiers and civilians in the capital don’t listen to me enough and you have to let them follow me wholeheartedly?”
she said.
After saying that, she turned around and walked away gracefully.
"fire!"
Wang Gui shouted behind her.
"Damn it, it would be even better if Ambassador Yang became the emperor."
Then he muttered to himself.
Indeed, Huang Zicheng thought that this would inspire the loyalty of the soldiers and civilians in the capital, but he did not know that doing so would be counterproductive and would only make the soldiers and civilians in the capital follow the princess more firmly.
Ambassador Yang becomes emperor?
Is there such a good thing?
Those heavy artillery roared again. Although shotgun shells were not used in order to avoid accidental damage to Zi Palace, the heavy artillery shells roared and fell on the guards behind Zhu Yunqi. In an instant, stumps and broken arms flew away. A cannonball that was closer to the ground hit the ground.
It got up and rolled forward at a speed that didn't seem to be very fast. A Japanese slave stretched out his legs to stop it, but his leg was broken by a cannonball in an instant.
He fell to the ground and screamed.
Zhu Yunwen was speechless with grief and indignation, looking at the jets of flames above his head, he and Huang Zicheng and others were close to Zi Gong, and then backed away cautiously.
The war in the capital resumed.
However, Zhu Yunwen was not without the strength to fight, because at this time, Zhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other places had already announced that they were under the imperial edict, and the gentry everywhere also knew that once Lan Yu went south, there would be no good harvest for them, and the whole family would have to be killed.
. So the gentry and civil servants from all over the country have begun to organize group training to rush to Qinwang, including those from Jiangbei. Lan Yu has been blocked in Fengyang because the Linhuai pontoon bridge was burned down. Although Fengyang stayed behind and did not resist, the pontoon bridge was burned down, and he
It would not be possible for the entire army to cross the river in a short time, so Zhu Yunwen still had time.
As long as he can open the capital, he can then rely on the city's solid defense system to hold on.
Then wait for the king of Qin everywhere.
After all, although Lan Yu has an army of 200,000, he does not have enough logistics, and the King of Qin and others behind him are already under the supervision of the imperial edict, so his attack cannot be sustained for long.
