In the blink of an eye, no enemy soldiers dared to resist were seen on the city. The generals under the city were eager to try and asked the prince for orders to lead troops to attack the city!
However, the prince had no intention of sending troops to attack the city. Looking at the trembling Zhao Wangjun on top of the city, he sighed, slowly shook his head and said: "They are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. It would be good if a few fewer people died."
Ordered the money to be withdrawn.
The generals who had suppressed their energy and had no way to vent could only mutter: "Your Highness is merciful." Then they led their troops back in dismay. Only Liu Sheng, Zhang Fu, and a few other shrewd people could vaguely see that.
What the prince means... In this battle, the prince does not want any general to be in the limelight, so as not to create a new group of upstarts after the war. On the other hand, the prince also needs to show himself to the fullest. There is nothing better than His Highness the prince personally leading the army of benevolence and righteousness.
, put down the rebellion, and march to Beijing with the power of victory to proclaim himself emperor. Is it a better script?
Therefore, this battle can only be won by the prince in his own way. No one can steal the spotlight from His Highness...
Looking at the back of the prince, Zhang Fu couldn't help but secretly regret that he was still too careless and actually looked at the prince with old eyes, forgetting that he was already the de facto emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the real emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan!
Looking at the quiet behavior of Liu Sheng, Mo Wen and others, Zhang Fu became even more annoyed. He was really living more and more, and he was not as good as Liu Sheng, an old fox. He was not even as good as a junior...
Liu Sheng, Mo Wen and others also saw Zhang Fu's sudden gaffe. When the British father walked away, Liu Sheng curled his lips, winked at Mo Wen and said: "In so many years, I have never seen Lao Zhang be so helpless...
"
"Haha," Mo Wen chuckled softly: "If he hadn't lost to Mr. Hou in Shandong, he would naturally not be so impatient and angry." Although Mo Wen has always been serious and reticent, the overall situation has been decided now, and he has been weighing on his head for a long time.
Most of the haze has gone away, and I am now in the mood to joke.
"He didn't lose to me. He was obviously defeated by you." Even so, Liu Sheng couldn't help but smile proudly. The pressure he faced before was more than ten times or a hundred times greater than that of Mo Wen? Emperor Yongle still couldn't help but smile proudly.
When he was alive, everyone thought that he and the Liu family were about to suffer disaster. Who would have thought that after a hard struggle, such a good situation would appear! He actually became a popular person in front of the new king, and even the British Duke
They were all suppressed!
Not to mention the Prince's Army who returned triumphantly. On top of the city, King Zhao's army was as frightened as a bowed bird. Only after all the enemy troops under the city had retreated did they dare to poke their heads out and look blankly at the bottom of the city, looking at each other.
What kind of medicine is sold in Jun's gourd, and why does he turn around and leave after taking a shot?
At this time, someone discovered that the arrow shafts of the arrows shot by the prince into the city were all wrapped with yellow silk. The soldiers of King Zhao's army picked up the arrow shafts, took off the yellow silk and took a look. On them were the orders of the prince and stamped
It bore the prince's seal. However, most of the officers and soldiers were illiterate. They gathered around their comrades who were fluent in writing and urged: "Read it quickly, what is written on it."
"What is written above is...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order. You are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Most of them are just following orders and do not intend to follow...rebellion." The literate officers and soldiers covered their mouths, concealed the word 'Zhao Ni', and continued.
He read: "If you can wake up, give up resistance, and surrender to the prince, not only can you forget the past, but you can also restore your military status and continue to serve as a soldier for the Ming Dynasty!" After saying this, the voices of the officers and soldiers couldn't help but become louder.
"Scare! There's such a good thing!" The soldiers of King Zhao's army, who had been in panic all day, suddenly felt like they had found a life-saving straw, and they couldn't help themselves with excitement.
"There's more, there's more behind..." The literate officers and soldiers looked behind excitedly, but their voices suddenly stopped. Others kept urging, but the literate officers and soldiers waved their hands and said repeatedly: "I can't think of it, I can't think of it..."
"What is there that you can't read!" The blind people jumped up and down anxiously, staring at the words on the yellow silk and saying, "Aren't they just some names and prices?!" Even the illiterate person can recognize numbers one to ten.
You can also recognize common surnames such as Zhao Qian, Sun Li and so on.
The blind people then began to work hard to guess and piece together the following content: "This one named Zhu is worth fifty thousand taels; the one named Gao is thirty thousand taels, the one named Tian is thirty thousand taels, and the one named Chen is also twenty thousand taels."
two……"
At this time, the clever young man slapped his thigh and said: "Isn't this the prince, oh, your majesty, there are also the surnames of the three generals!"
"It must be a reward!" everyone said with certainty.
"Yes! There are no Liu and Ma, probably because they passed last night!" someone immediately added.
"This is not what we are talking about..." The literate guy cleared it up and said uncontrollably: "This is indeed a reward. It is the price offered by His Royal Highness, life or death!"
"Hey..." The officers and soldiers gasped, and then they began to regret. If Liu and Ma were still in the city, the rewards on this list would definitely be much larger...
On the top of the city, the atmosphere of despair and depression was instantly swept away. The eyes of King Zhao's officers and soldiers were once again filled with hope. Many of them were obsessed with money, thinking about how they could get rewards, achieve great achievements, and be granted the title of wife!
The officers and soldiers of King Zhao's army openly discussed how to surrender and how to capture Zhu Gaosui and others. They made such treasonous remarks, but no officers stopped them, because the officers also grasped the prince's order and planned a way out.
Naturally, such a big news could not be hidden from the people around Zhu Gaosui. The eunuchs who followed Zhu Gaosui hurriedly presented the collected copies of the prince's handwriting to 'His Majesty the Emperor' for review.
Zhu Gaosui was eating the royal meal when he heard that the prince had surrendered his subordinates and said that the culprits would be punished without asking for threats. However, he remained indifferent. He used jade chopsticks to deal with the anchovies on the plate and said slowly: "The anchovies are delicious.
It’s just that there are many thorns. Although I have been familiar with this method for a long time, I am afraid that my descendants may be harmed by young people in the future, so I have made a rule today that anchovies are not allowed into the royal meal.”
The eunuch on the side lamented in his heart, "How can there be no future!" But he could only nod his head with a sad face and said: "I will remember it."
"What's the use of writing it down? It must be recorded in the daily notes." Zhu Gaosui snorted coldly.
"Daily care?" The eunuch was stunned for a moment, then swallowed his saliva and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't had time to arrange for someone to do the daily care yet."
"You bastard, if you don't pay attention to daily life, how will future generations know about my words and deeds, and how will they take them as the teachings of their ancestors?" Zhu Gaosui glanced at the eunuch coldly, "Go away quickly!"
"Yes." The eunuch had no choice but to go out and happened to meet an official, so he caught him and handed him this glorious task.
The official was originally a ninth-grade miscellaneous official. Today, he was granted the title of Minister of Rites during the ceremony. It can be said that he has "reached the sky in one step". He had to give face to "His Majesty the Emperor", so he had no choice but to agree, but for a while he couldn't find a suitable blank book.
You can't just go in with a piece of paper, right? That's too informal.
The eunuch had some idea and found a book of etiquette prepared for the enthronement ceremony and stuffed it into the official's hands.
The official took a look and saw that the gilded leather cover and fine paper looked very similar. But when he opened it and looked at it, he immediately said with a grimace: "There are words on it!"
"Isn't there still space at the back?" The eunuch flipped through the book and said nonchalantly.
"Just one page..."
"That's enough." The eunuch waved his hand, pushed the official in, and muttered behind him: "I'm afraid this emperor is at the end of his tether, and the page hasn't been used up yet..."
When the official of the Living Note came in, he saw Zhu Gaosui flipping through the pages of the prince's edict. He stood aside and wrote on the "Living Note", "On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month of the first year of Longfeng, the pretended prince went to Tongzhou Palace.
The soldiers surrounded the city and fired arrows to recruit the surrender documents into the city. Many of them made treasonous and unethical remarks. At the time of Youshi, I served the royal meal and read it...'
After writing this, the official stopped writing to see Zhu Gaosui's next reaction.
I saw Zhu Gaosui squinting his eyes with an unpredictable expression. He pondered for a long time and said slowly: "Calling all the ministers to the Qinzheng Hall to discuss matters."
The living official twitched his lips and slandered: "What is the Qinzheng Hall? Isn't it just the government's signature room?" But he could only take a note and said: "I have ordered the ministers to discuss the matter at the Qinzheng Hall."
The eunuch hurriedly asked someone to summon the 'gongqing'. Zhu Gaosui stood up and went over, took a look at the living official and said, "Did you write down what I said during the meal?"
"I have never heard of this," said the official in charge of the living room in a low voice. The eunuch quickly whispered in his ear, and the official in the living room immediately wrote: "I ordered the imperial kitchen not to prepare shad, as it is an ancestral dish."
A moment later, the 'Gongqing Minister' whom Zhu Gaosui had named today appeared in the 'Qinzheng Hall', but the number was half less than before. It was estimated that those people had already escaped.
Zhu Gaosui didn't take it seriously. He sat on the 'Dragon Chair' and after accepting everyone's worship, he gave them the prince's edict and let them speak freely.
Those guys who have been able to show up until now, apart from being loyal people, are also complete official fans! You know, before today, they were no more than seventh grade, how could they be qualified to go to court? Let alone talk in front of the 'Emperor'
.No matter which one you choose, you will naturally express your opinion at this time. Even if you are addicted to the Minister of Military and Aircraft, it is still very good.
The official in charge of daily affairs wrote down what everyone said: "Zhang Shun, the Minister of the Ministry of War, said: The false prince is so treasonous that he dares to offer a reward for the capture of the emperor, and he must fight to the death." The governor Gou Sanzou said: "I would like to bring the army out of the city to vent my anger on His Majesty."
.Ma Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs, said: The bandit army is powerful and cannot hit the stone with an egg...'
The 'ministers' competed to speak, with spit flying everywhere. It was only to the pain of the daily note official that in the blink of an eye, a page was filled with words... and then they were dumbfounded. They couldn't let them stop and wait for me to change one, so they had to
He gritted his teeth and wrote on the inside of the cover...
Of course, he learned the lesson and no longer recorded the nonsense of those officials, and just waited for Zhu Gaosui to speak.
Finally, after everyone had finished spitting, Zhu Gaosui slowly said: "It is commendable that all the ministers are loyal and courageous in asking for war. However, fighting against each other is against the harmony of nature. I cannot bear to see soldiers and civilians killed, so I agree to peace talks..."
‘How could they say they want peace talks?’ The official in charge could not help but sneer, but he could only write in his notes: ‘I said: Fighting against each other in the same room is against the harmony of nature. I cannot bear to see soldiers and civilians killed, so I agree to peace talks.’
