It was dark at night, but the streets in Taiyuan City were still lively. This was due to the influx of more than 100,000 refugees at once.
A large number of soldiers patrolled the streets, and would rush to check if there was any slightest sign of trouble. Those who encountered fights, troubles, and thieves were immediately arrested. Therefore, the public security in the city was relatively good.
In that remote little courtyard in the north of the city, a secret stronghold of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Chang Yu stood at the door and sighed deeply, was he going to kill someone again?
Zhu Changxun's genes are so strong. Chang Yu sighed with emotion when he saw Zhu Yousong for the first time. Although he had never seen the old King Fu, the fair middle-aged man in his forties and his protruding belly made him feel He should have the demeanor of the legendary big fat pig that couldn't walk on any road.
"Who are you?" Zhu Yousong looked at Chang Yu coming in with confusion on his face. This man was too young, but Wu Mengming beside him actually treated him with respect.
"We belong to the emperor," Chang Yu said lightly, his eyes constantly looking at Chongzhen, his cousin, who was also the first future emperor after his lineage became extinct.
The emperor's man? Zhu Yousong was a little excited and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He felt like he was in a dream these past few days. He was following Zhu Changzi in a daze, and was blindfolded and taken away by a group of people. He couldn't tell the difference until just now. It was clear whether these people were thieves or royal guards, and now they were really the emperor's people.
But suddenly he became nervous again. Why did the emperor go through so much trouble to get his secret here?
I am a down-and-out little prince who wants money but no one and no one. He poses no threat to Chongzhen. What is he going to do? He is not trying to kill me. There is no reason.
"May I ask why this father-in-law brought Xiao Wang here? Where is this? The capital?" Zhu Yousong asked continuously.
Chang Yu sighed and looked at his face with a hint of helplessness: "It's a pity that the curtain call has just begun."
"Ah, what do you mean by this, father-in-law?" Zhu Yousong was confused.
Chang Yu didn't say anything. He looked at Wu Mengming again.
Wu Mengming also sighed, reached out and took out a piece of white silk from his arms, and threw it in front of Zhu Yousong.
Zhu Yousong was a little confused. He picked up the white silk and looked at it. His face suddenly changed and became extremely ugly. Then he looked at Chang Yu with a sad face, and his mouth kept trembling: "Is this the emperor's intention, little, little Wang, I just want to die and understand why this is happening?"
Zhu Yousong couldn't understand why Chongzhen wanted to kill him!
In fact, Chongzhen never had the intention to kill Zhu Yousong before Chang Yu appeared, there was no reason at all!
But since the prince's dream! The reasons have been too sufficient, and he even wants to kill all the other clan kings! Even if the Lao Zhu family is extinct, he will not allow other branches to sit on the dragon throne!
This kind of thinking is very strange, people are vicious, just like there were so many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, all of them were extremely rich, but seeing that Chongzhen could not afford the money, and his family was ruined and the country was ruined, he did not lend a hand to support him!
"Do you know Liu Ziluan of the Southern Dynasties?" Chang Yu looked at the middle-aged man and said with a hint of sadness.
Zhu Yousong's face darkened, he slowly closed his eyes, and nodded sadly.
Liu Ziluan was sentenced to death when he was ten years old, and he said something: "I hope I will never be born again in the imperial family." Liu Zhun, the last emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty who killed him twenty years later, also said something before he was killed: I hope I will never be born again in this life. At the emperor’s house!
The emperor's family was like this, and the vassal family was like this. Although Zhu Yousong didn't know why Chongzhen wanted to kill him, he thought that he must have touched a piece of his cake.
Holding the white silk in his hand, his whole body was shaking. Even though he closed his eyes tightly, tears were still flowing down his face. Zhu Yousong felt extremely sad! His family was broken up and his family was left to others, and now...
"It's better for you to do it!" Zhu Yousong finally gave up on himself and opened his eyes and looked at Chang Yu: "Please tell the emperor, please tell the emperor that the little king will not die in peace!" Although the words were not high-pitched, they were extremely angry and came from the heart. The kind that survived many hardships at the hands of thieves, but was eventually killed by his cousin for unknown reasons. He hated it!
Wu Mengming looked at Chang Yu.
Chang Yu nodded, Wu Mengming took Bai Ling and walked behind Zhu Yousong, circled it around his neck, and then motioned to his two confidants to step forward.
"Wait a minute" Chang Yu suddenly stopped, stared at Zhu Yousong again and again, then turned around and walked outside the door, taking a few big breaths!
Yes, he suddenly felt compassion!
Suddenly I hate what I have done. It is like watching a movie in later generations and seeing those Dongchang gangsters killing innocent people and hating themselves!
Prince Fu and his son were domineering, and the disgusting things Zhu Yousong did after he came to the throne were actually worthy of death, but did they really have to be killed? Should they be let go secretly and keep their names anonymous?
If you can keep the Chongzhen family, at least Zhu Cixiang, no matter how the situation changes, Zhu Yousong will not have the chance to play the leading role, or even the supporting role, so he may not necessarily be killed.
However, he is also afraid that the situation will get out of control and he cannot control it. Zhu Yousong will become a time bomb. It would be better if he can stay anonymous. If he has extraordinary ambitions, he will be helped out by all forces at any time!
"Kill"
Chang Yu growled lowly and walked out of the yard without looking back. There was a sound of struggle behind him!
"Brother, are you going back to Jiaocheng?"
Outside the small courtyard, Chang Yu stood at the intersection, a little confused. He had not yet recovered from the emotion just now. Chunxiang asked softly next to him.
Chang Yu didn't say anything, just nodded, and the group of people headed straight south along the street.
While he was walking, several people suddenly rushed towards him from the opposite side. Several personal guards around Chang Yu immediately drew their swords and rushed forward to greet them.
"Your Excellency, the prince has invited you," the person opposite saw the formation, stopped quickly, and said softly.
Chang Yu squinted his eyes and saw that it was King Jin's entourage.
The vassal king had no military power and no real control over the local area, but Taiyuan was Zhu Shenxuan's territory after all, and he had his own power. Especially in this special period, he could control almost every move in Taiyuan City.
What's more, how could he not know about such a big battle like Chang Yu's 300 people entering the city?
Chang Yu's sudden return to the city obviously had something important to do. Zhu Shenxuan sent someone to the governor's office to look for him, but was told that he had left and his whereabouts were unknown. So his followers asked around and happened to meet him on the street.
Zhu Shenxuan was not waiting at the palace, but at Chang Yu's base camp, on the tower of the South Gate.
"Is that so?" Chang Yu looked at Zhu Shenxuan on the tower. This handsome guy had a sluggish look on his face and his eyes were red and swollen.
Zhu Shenxuan clenched his fists, trembling slightly, and looked up at Chang Yu: "Eunuch Chang, although you are the admiral of Dongchang and I am the king, but at this time, regardless of those things, it is just a personal relationship. Please give me a clear message. , can Taiyuan be defended?"
Chang Yu was silent, walked out of the tower and supported the city wall, looking at the dark night sky in the distance without saying a word. Zhu Shenxuan walked gently behind him: "Can you hold it?"
"I don't know" Chang Yu shook his head gently.
"You, you don't know?" Zhu Shenxuan swayed and stretched out his hand to hold on to the wall: "Now we have soldiers, food and money, and the city is high and the walls are thick. You, you didn't say that before!"
"Do you know how many soldiers the bandits have? Have you seen how they fight?" Chang Yu looked sideways at Zhu Shenxuan and asked softly.
Zhu Shenxuan shook his head.
"The intruder has at least 100,000 troops. Although it is comparable to Taiyuan, he still has at least 100,000 cannon fodder." He took a long breath and said, "You have never seen how they fight, how they attack cities, and how they march and form formations.
We’ve never seen it before!”
I have never fought in a war, and I have never seen a war. Can I win just by having money, food, and soldiers? No one can guarantee it, not even Chang Yu, who came from time-travel, is not sure, not to mention that he has never participated in it.
war.
Although he usually clamored that the walls of Laozi City are thick, he needs money and people, and if any intruder dares to come, he will be killed. These slogans are just to appease people's hearts, and they are also to encourage himself. In fact, he is really not sure in his heart, and it counts at this time.
My heart goes out to Zhu Shenxuan.
"What if..." Zhu Shenxuan was trembling all over and the corners of his mouth were trembling.
"There is no such thing as a chance. If I say I don't know, it doesn't mean a guaranteed win, but it doesn't mean a guaranteed loss either!" Chang Yu looked at the handsome young man in front of him and knew that he was young and inexperienced, and his mental endurance was extremely fragile. He always needed a centering pillar.
To support, and this centering pillar is yourself.
"Once you think of a way out, it's hard to do your best. At this time, you need to show the courage to sink the boat. Taiyuan can only be saved with your lineage as the King of Jin. Otherwise, what if the city of Taiyuan is destroyed and you escape with your life? Like King Fu of Zhou wandering there
They seek refuge everywhere like dogs, living under human fences, neither humans nor ghosts. Although they are still alive, it is no different than death! In fact, their lineage is over, but they are unwilling to face the reality and admit it!
"
Zhu Shenxuan was stunned. His hand holding on to the wall gradually stopped shaking so much. He also moved his eyes away from Chang Yu's face. He looked outside the city and slowly exhaled: "In your opinion, the thieves are still
How many days will it take for the army to arrive at the city?"
"Two days at most," Chang Yu took a long breath: "Tomorrow, no matter whether he can stab him in the dark or not, he will fall out. Li Zicheng will immediately send troops when he is furious. The fortifications built on the big river in the north of Jiaocheng can only withstand a storm at most.
It is necessary to withdraw to Taiyuan after the offensive is launched."
"Two days" Zhu Shenxuan murmured to himself and suddenly raised his head: "As you said, the Jin Palace will be with Taiyuan!"
"Our family is also with you!" Chang Yu nodded in admiration and squeezed out a smile. Zhu Shenxuan also smiled reluctantly and looked at Chang Yu's eyes with a hint of warmth: "I never thought I would meet you in this life.
Such a... person, you and I are similar in age and have compatible temperaments. If it weren't for the ancestral rule, I really want to sworn brothers with you and become brothers of the opposite sex!"
Chang Yu laughed dryly and cursed in his heart, "Fuck you, uncle. To put it bluntly, you don't dislike me as a eunuch."
"There are still two days left. I vow to live with Taiyuan until my death, but... the queen and Zhi'e are... no, I want to marry Zhi'e as soon as possible and let her leave Taiyuan first..." Zhu Shenxuan
Whisper quietly!
"no"
Chang Yu exclaimed, which scared Zhu Shenxuan. He didn't know why he had such a big reaction!
"The thieves are right in front of you. It's such an urgent matter. You still have the mood to do those things. If you have the time, you might as well strengthen the city's defense. Besides, if you marry your sister at this moment, anyone with a discerning eye will know what's going on.
Isn’t that confusing the people’s hearts? I, I don’t agree!”
Chang Yu opened his mouth to express his righteousness, and Zhu Shenxuan was immediately dumbfounded: "No, that's inappropriate?"
"Of course it's inappropriate!"
Chang Yu nodded decisively: "Tomorrow, the soldiers are out killing the enemy, but you are holding a wedding in the city to marry a girl. Even I am unhappy. Think about what those soldiers who are bravely fighting the enemy think. Of course they are even more unhappy than me!"
"Then..." Zhu Shenxuan regarded Chang Yu as his backbone. When he heard what he said, he immediately lost his mind: "But the queen also had this intention..."
"You go back and tell the queen that our words belong to her. The queen is a prudent person and will definitely know the pros and cons!"
Seeing Zhu Shenxuan's figure hurriedly going down, Chang Yu took a long breath: "Brother-in-law, don't cause trouble."
