Kebacheng is the only way from Hukou Pass to Guishan City. Zhu Tianjiang had already sent out scouts. When Chu Yun's army was still twenty miles away from Kaser City, Zhu Tianjiang got the news.
As soon as Chu Yun and others arrived at Hukou Pass, they ordered Kuai Ma to publicly deliver the Ministry of War documents. They did this to give Zhu Tianjiang and others some time to think about it. Of course, Chu Yun knew in his heart that Zhu Tianjiang must have received the news in advance.
Even though not many people knew about the fact that he and Prince Xuan Le came to replace Zhu Tianjiang and Wen Ruhai, Zhu Tianjiang also had very extensive connections in the capital. Prince Jing and Prince Xuanzhu knew about it, so there was no way they could
He couldn't hide it. Chu Yun was very conflicted now. There were some things that he didn't know what to do after seeing Zhu Tianjiang.
Outside the city of Coba, Zhu Tianjiang ordered people to form a welcoming team early. Seeing that Chu Yun's army was about to arrive, Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others did not expect that Zhu Tianjiang also arrived outside the city in a handsome car.
"Sir, they are here to seize our military power. Why do you have to welcome them in person? Besides, with your current official status, you don't need to welcome anyone except the emperor and Prince Jing." Xia Qing looked at Zhu Tianjiang.
said.
After Zhu Tianjiang performed several great achievements, his official title was no lower than that of Chu Yun. According to the official system, there was really no need to go out of the city to greet him in person.
"Xuan Le has been crowned king. As a minister, I have to curry favor with others." Zhu Tianjiang looked into the distance seriously.
Xia Qing and others sneered after hearing this. They would not believe that Zhu Tianjiang would abide by the Dafeng etiquette. Let alone Xuan Le, even if Prince Jing came, Zhu Tianjiang might not necessarily greet him according to the etiquette.
Seeing everyone's dissatisfied expressions, Zhu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Master Chu Yun treats us well, and I do it for his sake. If only Xuan Le came, I wouldn't give him the city fee."
He will not be allowed to enter the city."
Hearing what Zhu Tianjiang said, everyone showed a knowing smile. Through this incident, Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others completely saw the face of the royal family. They worked hard to achieve such great achievements, even Lin Feng almost fell to the ground.
Qing, unexpectedly, because of the rumors, Emperor Chengwu actually wanted to change his commander on the spot despite Zhou Yantian's counterattack again. This kind of thing may not matter to the big shots in the capital, but it was very angry in the hearts of these desperate soldiers.
Chu Yun and Xuan Le had also received the news that Zhu Tianjiang was resting in Coba City. Seeing him coming to the city gate, Chu Yun couldn't help but be startled. He thought that Zhu Tianjiang would be extremely angry because of this, but it didn't happen.
I thought I would actually go out of the city to greet him in person.
"Your Highness Xuan Le, Zhu Tianjiang is personally greeting you outside the city. Do we also want to express something?" Chu Yun came to Xuan Le's car and asked.
Chu Yun was nominally in charge of the defense this time, but he understood that Xuan Le was actually in charge. Emperor Chengwu had given the Xuan Le Temple a gold medal before his arrival. It was Chu Yun's business to march and fight, but the credit would definitely go to Xuan Le.
on the head.
Xuan Le lifted the car curtain and walked out of the car tent. He stood in the car and looked at the ceremonial formation in the distance. Xuan Le breathed a sigh of relief. Zhu Tianjiang's handsome car had a big flag flying on it, representing
A signal to be greeted personally by the coach.
"Master Chu, order the army to stop advancing eight hundred feet away from the city gate. Your Highness will enter the city on foot." Xuan Le said softly.
Chu Yun nodded. Xuan Le could put down his social status and still be a virtuous person. However, Zhu Tianjiang supported the fourth prince Xuan Zhu, which made Chu Yun feel a bit regretful. If these two people can be connected,
Hand, that is a great joy for Dafeng.
This time when he went north, Emperor Chengwu personally named Xuan Le to accompany him and gave Xuan Le a special mission. Xuan Le knew that coming this time might be a bit risky, but Xuan Le also wanted to take this opportunity to insert his power into the army.
Fang system. Xuanle has always been inferior to Xuanzhu in this regard. Although Xuanzhu does not interfere with military power, but with Zhu Tianjiang's support, most of the military is on Xuanzhu's side. The other most important point is that this time
The mission is a perfect opportunity for Xuan Le. In other words, it is a test for him by his father.
Zhu Tianjiang watched from a distance as Xuan Le got off the carriage and walked towards Coba City. Zhu Tianjiang nodded secretly and said to himself that Xuan Le was quite smart. Since everyone had already got off the carriage
, Zhu Tianjiang couldn't stand in the car anymore. If Xuan Le really used his status as a young prince to be domineering, Zhu Tianjiang was going to give him a head-on confrontation and make him look bad.
Zhu Tianjiang stood at the front of the team with his hands behind his back and did not go up to him. Due to his different identity and status, Zhu Tianjiang had the right to do so. What's more, he was the great hero who helped relieve Tianqing's crisis. He narrowly escaped death and also
It's time to enjoy some dignity.
Chu Yun didn't care about that, he still rode his tall horse and followed Xuan Le leisurely. In terms of seniority, he and Prince Jing Guo Tianxin were of the same generation. No matter how much Zhu Tian was demoted, he was still his.
younger generation.
Zhu Tianjiang cupped his fists and raised his hands, "Lord Chu Yun has worked hard all the way. Tianjiang specially led the soldiers and horses in the city to greet you. Xuan Le, I haven't seen you for many days. Your boy is getting more and more handsome." After Zhu Tianjiang finished speaking, he stepped forward with a smile.
After walking a few steps, he personally held the reins of Chu Yun's horse.
Zhu Tianjiang made it very clear in these two sentences, which meant that I was here to greet Chu Yun. However, Zhu Tianjiang's seemingly rude words in the latter sentence showed a very close relationship.
Chu Yun jumped off his horse and said, "Tianxiang, when you were demoted from the capital, I really thought you were being punished. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a trick played by the emperor and you to deceive everyone."
Xuan Le also smiled and said, "Tianqing's trouble has been harming Dafeng for many years. Brother Tianjiang made an extraordinary move this time and solved Dafeng's worries in one fell swoop. It's really a blessing for Dafeng!"
"Let's not be polite. Let's go to the city and sit down and have a good chat."
After Zhu Tianjiang finished speaking, he ordered Zhu Yi to lead the army into the barracks. Zhu Tianjiang accompanied Chu Yun Xuanle to the government office. However, Xuanle's eight hundred soldiers did not leave and followed Zhu Tianjiang closely.
Demoted people.
Everyone sat down in order of priority, and Chu Yun then took out the documents from the Ministry of War, "Heaven descends, Emperor Chengwu sympathizes with General Wen and your hard work, and specially ordered His Highness Xuanle and I to come and take over the garrison. Before leaving, the Emperor asked me to give
Please tell me that your hard work has paid off well this time, and the emperor is waiting in the capital to celebrate your success." After Chu Yun finished speaking, he glanced at Xuan Le quietly.
Zhu Tianjiang secretly laughed in his heart, and said numbly that he was celebrating my victory. Xuan Le's eight hundred soldiers were outside the hall, and they also sent ten thousand troops to accompany them. I'm afraid they were afraid that I would rebel.
"Master Chu Yun, it's so cold in the north. I really don't want to stay any longer. If you come just in time, I can go back and enjoy it for a few days without worries." Zhu Tianjiang said with emotion.
Xuan Le was slightly startled. He didn't expect Zhu Tianjiang to accept the change of defense so easily. Don't forget that now is the critical moment to defeat Zhou Yantian, which is equivalent to giving away the credit. Zhu Tianjiang behaved too generously, which actually made Chu
Yun and Xuanle were a little confused.
That night, Zhu Tianjiang held a banquet to welcome Chu Yun, Xuanle and others. There were not many officers and soldiers in Coba City. Under this situation, Xuanle felt very relieved. For Xuanle, as long as Wen Ruhai's army
If we don't follow the rebellion, Zhu Tianjiang's strength will not make it happen.
At the banquet, Zhu Tianjiang briefly talked about the Tianqing incident, and especially the marriage between Daniu and the Yelu family. When Xuanle asked if the Uzbek army had come to Dafeng, Zhu Tianjiang
He shook his head and vetoed the matter. As long as Wen Ruhai, Qin Wei and others didn't say anything, it would be useless for others to tell him. Zhu Tianjiang refused to admit it, and there was nothing anyone could do.
Zhu Tianjiang told Chu Yunxuanle that he missed Guo Yingyuer now and would leave for the capital after noon tomorrow.
Xuan Le felt a little unbelievable, it seemed that this thing went smoothly. It was rumored in the capital that it was as fierce as a tiger, and even Emperor Chengwu had prepared a complete plan. Who would have thought, it would be a different situation outside the customs.
Since Zhu Tianjiang was so happy, Xuan Le quickly agreed. He was also afraid that something would change in Ye Chang Meng Duo. However, Chu Yun kept frowning.
Early the next morning, Xuan Le arranged for men to take over the garrison of Coba City. At this moment, Xuan Le truly believed that Zhu Tianjiang did not have any intention of rebellion.
Zhu Tianjiang had already packed up and was preparing to leave the city and return to Beijing early. At this moment, Chu Yun walked in.
"Master Chu, I wonder if you have any other instructions?" Zhu Tianjiang asked with a smile.
Chu Yun looked around, and Zhu Tianjiang knew very well that he had something to say to him.
"You all go out and get ready. It's time for us to go home." Zhu Tianjiang ordered, and Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others walked out of the hall.
Chu Yun looked at Zhu Tianjiang. From yesterday to today, Xuan Le was finally not with him.
"Tianjiang, tell me the truth, do you have the intention to become a king on your own?" Chu Yun looked into Zhu Tianjiang's eyes and said seriously.
"Look at what you said. If word spreads, I will behead you." Zhu Tianjiang pretended to be horrified and looked outside the door.
"You kid, stop pretending to me. Regardless of whether you have this intention or not, I will give you two choices now. First, capture Xuan Le and blackmail Emperor Cheng Wu into letting you go. Second, never return to the capital again. First,
Find a place to hide." Chu Yun frowned and said seriously.
"What are you doing? Master Chu Yun, why can't I understand?" Zhu Tianjiang looked at Chu Yun in confusion. This time, he was really confused.
Chu Yun looked outside the door and whispered, "I am also entrusted by Prince Jing. Xuan Le has a secret mission on this trip. Your life and death are completely under his control. As soon as you go this way, the sticky pole will
Contact Xuan Le. Emperor Chengwu and Wei Zhan in the capital are all waiting for Xuan Le's judgment on you. As long as Xuan Le writes the word "kill" on the secret note, you will definitely die as soon as you arrive in the capital. This matter
Apart from the emperor, only Prince Jing Wei Zhan and Xuan Le know about it, so Prince Jing entrusts the old minister to tell you not to return to the capital. When the time comes, he will secretly send Yu'er out of the capital."
Chu Yun lowered his voice and spoke seriously, and Zhu Tianjiang felt a chill in his heart. He understood that Prince Jing's worry was correct. With Xuan Le's current fight with Xuan Zhu, even if nothing happened, he would kill himself, let alone
There is such a good opportunity.
Zhu Tianjiang was heartbroken but also a little touched. Prince Jing, as a royal prince, actually risked his life to help an outsider like him for Yu'er. On the other hand, Chu Yun made Zhu Tianjiang even more grateful. As a dignified and conservative man,
The old minister actually allowed Zhu Tianjiang to choose to be king or become a bandit. By doing this, Chu Yun not only gained the trust of King Jing, but also became Zhu Tianjiang's 'hostage' himself. As a soldier, Chu Yun spent his whole life.
General, this is a great humiliation.
Zhu Tianjiang took a step back and bowed deeply to Chu Yun. His judgment was the same as that of Prince Jing. Zhu Tianjiang felt that Xuan Le only had one word to judge him, and that was ~kill!
