Zhu Tianjiang did not enter the harem just now. He felt that although Queen Feng Wanqiu surrendered, those under her command might not admit defeat. Especially the people from the Feng E family might take advantage of the chaos and escape to take revenge for the future.
Therefore, Zhu Tianjiang and Zhu Yi quietly ambush outside the harem wall with a team of their own troops.
Zhu Daguan ordered all the soldiers and horses on guard outside the palace wall to move around, leaving only this place unpatrolled. Zhu Tianjiang originally wanted to catch a few small fish, but he did not expect to catch Xuan Can.
A big fish.
"Haha, Your Highness, in the middle of the night, do you still have the hobby of climbing over the wall?" Zhu Tianjiang said sarcastically.
"Master Zhu~ Master Zhu, we have no grievances. As long as you let me go, His Highness will never forget your great kindness. If His Highness ever recovers, he will definitely repay your kindness." Xuan Can raised his head.
Braving a cold sweat, if he was an ordinary officer or soldier, he could buy it off with some small favors. But in front of Zhu Tianjiang, Xuan Can knew that money would never work, so he had to plead softly.
"Haha, of course you won't forget me. If you stand up again, I'm probably the first person you want to kill. Xuan Can, to be honest, you and Xuan Ming shouldn't have targeted me in the first place. Don't think that you are the prince.
It's amazing. In the eyes of this official, even your father is nothing. Since you have fallen into my hands, consider yourself unlucky. I, Zhu Tianjiang, am not a good man and believer. I know who should
Let go, no one should be let go." Zhu Tianjiang had a look of ridicule on his face. He was surrounded by his own people who were trained by Zhu Si. It would definitely not be a problem to deal with these twenty guards.
Xuan Can's expression changed, and he suddenly looked at Zhu Tianjiang ferociously, as if he wanted to eat him with his eyes.
"Zhu Tianjiang, don't get too proud too early. After all, I am also a descendant of the Li family of the Dafeng Dynasty and the biological son of Emperor Chengwu. Even if you hand me over to my father, at worst, I will be thrown into the cold palace. As long as I
If His Highness doesn't die, he will come back to the mountain one day. Just wait for me, and I will definitely make your life worse than death." Xuan Can said fiercely.
Xuan Can risked his life. Under the aim of so many archers, he knew that he couldn't defeat him at all. In this case, it was better to give up resistance and face the punishment of his father. But for Zhu Tianjiang,
Xuan Can was filled with hatred to the core of his bones.
"Huh, okay, I'll wait for that day. Xuan Can, do you surrender on your own, or let me order you to be shot!" Zhu Tianjiang said coldly.
Xuan Can looked back and said helplessly, "Put down your weapons. Your Highness will admit defeat."
When the guards heard this, they reluctantly dropped their weapons one by one. Since their master had spoken, there was no point in them taking action. Anyway, for them, protecting their master was their duty and it was not a serious crime.
Zhu Yi rushed forward first and led a team of people to tie up Xuan Can and others. Xuan Can and more than twenty guards were tied to the wall. Zhu Yi waved his hand and everyone retreated.
Zhu Tianjiang walked up to Xuan Can with a smile, "Your Highness, I wonder if you have anything else to say?"
"Hmph! Zhu Tianjiang, don't get carried away. My father is very jealous. If you hold great power at such a young age, you will end up in trouble sooner or later." Xuan Can looked at Zhu Tianjiang with a sneer.
, he calmed down instead.
"Hey, thank you for reminding His Highness, Second Highness. In fact, I am more suspicious than your father. Maybe one day I will be happy and kick your Li family off the throne." Zhu Tianjiang said nonchalantly,
I am not afraid that people around me will spread the word.
Xuan Can was startled, and suddenly felt happy again. When he said this to his father, so many people around him heard it with their own ears. Zhu Tianjiang was simply looking for death.
"Zhu Tianjiang, you have the guts, let's wait and see." Xuan Can gritted his teeth and looked at Zhu Tianjiang.
Official Zhu straightened up, turned around and walked outside, "Come, send His Highness Xuan Can on his way."
After Zhu Tianjiang finished speaking, Zhu Yi waved his hand and heard a whoosh! There was a burst of arrows, and there was a sudden scream from the corner.
"Zhu Tian Jiang, you are so poisonous!" Xuan Can was hit by seven or eight arrows and glared at Zhu Tian Jiang angrily, even to the point of death.
Zhu Yi stepped forward and inspected it himself. For those who were not dead, Zhu Yi directly stabbed him without saying a word.
Zhu Tianjiang looked at him coldly with his hands behind his back. He had no intention of letting Xuan Can go. Since he was an opponent, it was better to be dead than alive to reassure him.
"Sir, what should I do with the body?" Zhu Yi stepped forward and asked quietly.
"While there is chaos in the city, find a private house and burn it!" Zhu Tianjiang simply ordered.
Xuan Can's identity is special. Even if his disappearance becomes a mystery, Zhu Tianjiang doesn't want Emperor Cheng Wu to know that he killed his son. Although Zhu Tianjiang can find many excuses, Zhu Tianjiang knows that Emperor Cheng Wu
I will definitely keep this matter in mind. From the two imperial edicts issued by Emperor Chengwu, we can see that Emperor Chengwu had no intention of killing his son.
After arranging all this, Zhu Tianjiang did not return to the palace, but rode directly to the general's mansion. His mansion was smashed into a mess by Xuan Ming in a rage, so Zhu Tianjiang could only temporarily return to the general's mansion to rest for one night.
It wasn't until dawn that the harem finally calmed down. The eunuch in charge of the palace, Wei Zhenghai, and a group of old eunuchs loyal to Emperor Chengwu were released. These guys wept and cried as if they were reborn, and kept kowtowing to thank the emperor for his kindness. Wei Zhenghai
Waiting for a group of eunuchs to take over the daily chores of the palace again.
Overnight, the ministers in the prison saw the light of day again. But those officials who were originally arrogant were thrown into prison one by one. The takeover of the palace was very smooth, and there was basically no resistance. The only thing that gave Xuan Le a headache was
It was the Queen's self-immolation and Xuan Can's disappearance. Prince Jing, including Prince Jing, did not rest that night. Prince Jing personally led his troops to search for Xuan Can's whereabouts in every corner of the harem.
As soon as the sky dawned, the sporadic fighting in the city gradually ended. Xuanle issued a notice to calm the people, and sent people to escort Feng Gengnian and Oroqen around the city. By doing this, Xuanle told the soldiers and horses who were still resisting,
The Queen and the Feng E family have surrendered, and there is no point in your resistance.
Zhu Tianjiang slept until noon before being called out by Guo Ying and Yu'er. Everyone else was very busy, so he was the only one who got enough sleep that night.
"Stinky guy, my grandma was busy all night and didn't sleep. When you get here, you sleep like a lazy pig." Guo Ying pouted and looked at Zhu Tianjiang.
Zhu Tianjiang stretched out. After sleeping in the barracks for so many days, it was indeed not as comfortable as the bed.
"What's going on outside? Is there any news?" Zhu Tianjiang lay on his side on the bed and looked at the two lovely people in front of him.
"All the old officials in prison were released, and Xuan Le let Lord Chu Yun take over the camp on the outskirts of Beijing again. Just now, my father and Mrs. Guo sent someone to inform you to go to the palace immediately, saying that the officials wanted to discuss important matters.
"Yu'er looked at Zhu Tianjiang and said softly.
After not seeing Zhu Tianliang for so long, Yu'er felt happy and a little shy. The meeting last night was too hasty, and the three of them didn't have a good conversation. Now that there are no outsiders, Yu'er is embarrassed to look at Zhu Tian.
dropped.
Zhu Tianjiang turned over and sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hands to hold Guo Ying and Yu'er in his arms. The two girls were startled, resisted slightly, and then leaned against Zhu Tianjiang's chest obediently.
"My dears, in a few months or a year, I will take you far away. By then, no one in the world will come to oppress us." Zhu Tianjiang said, kissing Guo Ying and Yu'er on the cheeks.
For a moment.
"If I want to kill you, there are still people waiting outside." Yu'er shyly hit Zhu Tianjiang and quickly left his body.
"Tiancheng, is the emperor really guarding against you?" Guo Ying asked in a low voice.
"It's normal. Even if I were Emperor Chengwu, I would still be so wary. This guy Xuan Le has some brains. He asked Chu Yun to take over the surrendered camp on the outskirts of Beijing instead of combining the troops and horses into one, so he still saved a man.
Back-up plan. Forget it, don’t worry about these troubles anymore, just do whatever you want." Zhu Tianjiang said and got out of bed.
Guo Ying and Yu'er hurriedly helped Zhu Tianjiang change into his official uniform, straightening and straightening his clothes like a newly married daughter-in-law.
Zhu Tianjiang briefly washed up and came to the front yard. The front yard was already full of people. Zhu Tianjiang glanced at it and a smile appeared on his face.
"Uncle Hong, Sister Hong, we meet again." Zhu Tianjiang walked over with a smile.
"Benefactor, we pray every day that you are safe and sound." Hong Baichao looked at Zhu Tianjiang excitedly.
"Brother~!" Hong Xiaoqing called out timidly.
"Little sister, no one will bully you in the capital, right? If anyone dares to bully you, tell me and see if I don't beat him." Zhu Tianjiang said to his adopted sister cheerfully.
Guo Ying walked over with a smile, "Whoever dares to bully Sister Xiaoqing, Yugege and I will not be able to spare him."
Zhu Tianjiang raised his eyes and looked at the people in the yard. Many of them were old people in his house. Everyone had tears of excitement in their eyes. These days, they have been worried a lot.
Zhu Tianjiang said hello to everyone and walked out of the general's mansion. Outside the gate, there was still a sea of people, not only brothers like Daniu and Xia Qing, but also ordinary people who came to visit. Daniu and the others couldn't enter the mansion because there were still many people.
Maintain order outside, otherwise the gate of the General's Mansion would have been trampled down long ago.
"Master Zhu, I'd like to pay my respects to you!" A sharp voice came, and Wei Zhenghai ran up to Zhu Tianjiang. He was ordered to invite Zhu Tianjiang into the palace, but more importantly, Wei Zhenghai
Zhenghai wanted to come to express his gratitude. If Zhu Tian had not descended on the city, Wei Zhenghai would not be where he is today.
"Haha, Eunuch Wei, I thought you would let the Queen and that old lady kill you, but I didn't expect you were lucky enough to be alive."
"Master Zhu, it's thanks to you that I can see the light of day again. I've had many misdeeds in the past. I hope you don't mind. I apologize to you now." Wei Zhenghai said seriously.
He knelt down to Zhu Tianjiang.
"Haha, okay, I can't bear it. Eunuch Wei, the fact that you didn't rebel under the Queen's pressure shows that you still have some conscience. Let's go to the palace." Zhu Tianjiang said, pulling Wei up.
Zhenghai.
As Zhu Tianjiang walked along, the people kept cheering on both sides. It was different from the last time he entered the city. At that time, Zhu Daguan was still unknown. This time, Zhu Daguan's reputation once again reached a new height.
The people followed him outside the palace gate. Zhu Tianjiang couldn't help but be startled when he looked at the palace gate. He didn't expect that Xuan Le and all the civil and military officials were standing outside the palace gate to greet him. Among them were not only Prince Jing and Old Man Guo
People, as well as Wang Bingkun and other veterans.
This kind of ceremony was so solemn that Zhu Tianjiang quickly got off his horse. In front of all the veterans, Zhu Tianjiang was too embarrassed to show off.
