Chapter 370 Who is the mourning of the iniquitous son! [2 more]
Walking into the palace, what you see is a group of nobles in gorgeous clothes, but looking extremely embarrassed. Needless to say, these people are either the concubines of Prince Ning, or relatives of Prince Ning, but it is a pity that all of them are facing each other at this moment.
Despite the look of fear, there is still a trace of grace and elegance.
Wang Shouren glanced at these people indifferently and said: "Come here, take these people down and keep them under strict guard. They will be escorted to the capital on a certain day to wait for the court's decision."
Wang Wu, who looked excited, followed Wang Shouren into the hall and couldn't help but said: "Sir, Prince Ning will definitely not be able to escape far. Why don't you send someone to arrest him..."
Wang Shouren said calmly: "He is just a prince of Prince Ning. If he escapes, he will escape. However, if he escapes, he will be able to bring the news of the fall of Nanchang City to Prince Ning. I would like to see if Prince Ning heard about it."
How would you feel if you knew Nanchang City had fallen?"
Hearing this, Wang Wu's face showed some anger and said: "I really don't know how those gentlemen in Nanjing City defended the city. The huge Nanjing City was captured by King Ning so quickly. If they could have persisted a little longer,
If the day passes, King Ning will be unable to capture Nanjing City and lose Nanchang City. He will have no way to advance or retreat, and defeat will not be far away!"
Hearing what Wang Wu said, Wang Shouren couldn't help but glance at Wang Wu in surprise and said: "Wang Wu, you have made great progress!"
Wang Wu couldn't help but scratch his head when he heard the words, shook his head and said: "Sir, these words are not what I thought of, but were said by a soldier in the army! This soldier said before that you will definitely be able to break Nanchang City, but it is a pity that
It’s too late!”
Wang Shouren narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, tell me, tell me where this person came from, and he has such an opinion."
Wang Wu grinned and said: "The man's name seems to be Yan Song. I heard from him that he is an old friend of Sir!"
Wang Shouren couldn't help but be stunned, Yan Song.
It seems that Wang Shouren is no stranger to Yan Song, but if we really want to say that he is familiar with him, he is not really familiar with him. At most, it is just a simple colleague relationship.
Back then, he and Yan Song met Chu Yi, the current general manager, at Huang Shicheng. Later, Yan Song returned to his hometown to pay filial piety to his father because of his father's death. From then on, Wang Shouren never saw Yan Song again.
Now that he suddenly heard Yan Song's name, Wang Shouren was really surprised. After pondering for a while, Wang Shouren said to Wang Wu: "Go and ask Yan Song to come see me!"
Soon Wang Wu brought Yan Song over. As they walked into the living room, Yan Song's eyes fell on Wang Shouren, and Wang Shouren also looked at Yan Song.
Yan Song stepped forward with a look of joy on his face and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Song has met you!"
Wang Shouren smiled slightly and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, but Master Yan still has the same style!"
Yan Song smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, don't make fun of Yan. Compared with your rise to prominence, Yan returned from observing his filial piety and relying on connections, he only got a position to join the army. This time, it was thanks to your help that you conquered Nanchang City. After returning to Beijing,
I’m lucky to be able to advance to the next level!”
Wang Shouren invited Yan Song to sit down and said, "Master Yan is being too modest. With Master Yan's talent and learning, as long as he has a platform to display his talent, he will be able to shine sooner or later."
Yan Song sighed softly: "Thinking back to that time, when you and I first met Manager Chu in the Imperial Palace, we would never have imagined that many years later, the three of us would actually have our own destiny!"
Hearing Yan Song mention that time, Wang Shouren couldn't help but feel emotional. Who could have thought that a great eunuch in Huang Shi Chengzhong would become the leader of today's Ming Dynasty in a short period of time.
The presence.
Mentioning those days, the atmosphere between the two seemed much closer.
Wang Shouren looked at Yan Song and said: "Senior Yan, in your opinion, after Wang has captured Nanchang City this time, do you want to send troops to Nanjing next?"
Yan Song narrowed his eyes, looked at Wang Shouren and said, "It depends on when General Manager Chu arrives in Nanjing City. In my opinion, it is the best choice for you to go when General Manager Chu arrives in Nanjing City."
After giving Yan Song a faint look, Wang Shouren smiled slightly.
Nanjing city.
King Ning, who had just ascended the throne, had just presided over the first court meeting. Most of the officials left, and only confidants such as Liu Yangzheng and Li Shishi stayed.
A chamberlain came in a hurry and said: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Nanchang City!"
As the chamberlain handed over an urgent memorandum, Prince Ning opened it and his expression suddenly changed. He suddenly stood up and said, "Where is the elder brother? Call him to see me quickly!"
Liu Yangzheng and others couldn't help but look puzzled. The eldest brother was the title of Prince Ning, but didn't the eldest brother stay in Nanchang City? Why...
While I was wondering, I saw a familiar figure appear at the entrance of the palace, and then I heard the man wailing: "Father, father, I thought I would never see you again..."
As soon as Prince Ning entered the hall, he ran in wailing and fell to his knees with a thud, looking extremely sad.
Looking at his eldest brother's appearance, Prince Ning couldn't help but feel more and more angry. He swung his sleeves and shouted angrily: "I'm not dead yet, who should I mourn for, you traitor?"
Immediately, Prince Ning was so frightened that he held back his voice and did not dare to cry again.
Prince Ning timidly looked up at Prince Ning. At first glance, he seemed to have seen something incredible, and exclaimed: "Father, you... have you ascended the throne and proclaimed yourself emperor?"
Prince Ning only ascended the throne yesterday, and the news has not yet spread back to Nanchang City. Prince Ning could be said to be in a daze after entering Nanjing City. Even if something was wrong, he did not realize that Prince Ning had ascended the throne.
It wasn't until King Ning's shout shook his mind back that he noticed the dragon robe on King Ning's body and realized the fact that King Ning had ascended the throne.
Prince Ning glared at Prince Ning and said, "You treacherous son, please tell me what's going on and why Nanchang City suddenly fell!"
When Prince Ning appeared in the main hall, the expressions of Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi, Yang Tinghe and others changed, and they felt a bit bad in their hearts.
Now that they heard King Ning talk about the fall of Nanchang City, what they were most worried about had indeed happened, and all of their faces suddenly became very ugly.
Prince Ning cried loudly: "It's all King Yichun's fault. If he hadn't been too careless, how could he have been shot on the spot by Wang Shouren, so that the morale of the city defenders was weakened, and Wang Shouren took the opportunity to attack Nanchang City."
On the way to escape from Nanjing, Prince Ning and Wan Rui had already discussed it. The two of them could not afford to carry such a big responsibility for the fall of Nanchang City. They had to find someone to carry it. After thinking about it, they could only
Zhu Gongqiao, the king of Yichun who died in battle, is a perfect fit.
Dead people won't open their mouths to argue, so they can throw all the blame on King Yichun to their heart's content.
Prince Ning frowned when he heard this and said in a deep voice: "Xuan Wanrui!"
Soon he saw Wan Rui walking into the main hall. When Wan Rui saw King Ning, he immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Old slave, I bow to your majesty. Long live your majesty, long live, long live your majesty."
As the most trusted servant of Prince Ning, Wan Rui still had considerable influence on Prince Ning.
Originally he was full of anger and wanted to vent it, but seeing Wan Rui's dusty and embarrassed appearance, Prince Ning couldn't help but feel a little pity.
The original serious words came to his lips, and he sighed softly: "Tell me, why did Nanchang City fall?"
Wan Rui took a deep breath and said: "Reporting to your majesty, I was ordered to assist His Royal Highness the King of Yichun in guarding Nanchang City. It's just that Wang Shouren was so cunning. He first killed the Longxiang General Zheng Qibu who came to help, then drove the prisoners to attack the city, and fired the last arrow.
He shot and killed His Royal Highness the King of Yichun, which caused chaos in the military morale and led to the fall of Nanchang City."
As he spoke, Wan Rui burst into tears and said: "It's all because of my incompetence, but I failed your Majesty's trust and even lost Nanchang City. Please punish me!"
Looking at the crying Wan Rui, and then at the pitiful prince, Prince Ning was filled with anger but had no way to vent it. He couldn't help but sweep the desk and swept away only the pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the desk.
On the ground, he roared: "Wang Shouren, Wang Shouren, I will kill you!"
Since he started his army, he has received help from many gentry and powerful people. It can be said that everything has gone smoothly, but only Wang Shouren. All the bad news he received was related to Wang Shouren.
First it was Zhou Boling, then Zheng Qi, and now even the King of Yichun died in the hands of Wang Shouren. The most important thing is that the city of Nanchang that he had been running for many years was taken away by Wang Shouren.
Thinking of the grain, grass, pay and silver he had hoarded in Nanchang City, as well as all the civil and military relatives in the army, King Ning could only wish he had wings to fly to Nanchang City and take back Nanchang City.
Once the news of the fall of Nanchang City spreads, it will inevitably destabilize the morale of the military.
Prince Ning took a deep breath and looked at Li Shishi and others.
As expected, the faces of Li Shishi and others were very ugly, and all of them turned pale, which shows how great the impact the fall of Nanchang City had on everyone.
With a slight cough, King Ning said to the crowd: "You have all heard that Nanchang City has fallen. Why should you teach me!"
Li Shishi and others looked at each other and saw General Li Zhen step forward and said: "Your Majesty, Nanchang City is the foundation of our army. There is absolutely no room for loss. Nanchang City must be recaptured."
King Ning understood that what General Li Zhen said was not only to recapture Nanchang City, but more importantly, to recapture the families of the civil and military officials in Nanchang City.
He nodded slightly, looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "Do you have anything to say, Chief Assistant?"
Yang Tinghe stroked his beard and looked at King Ning and said: "Your Majesty, Nanchang City has been lost. Even if your Majesty sends a large army to retake Nanchang City, it will not help. If the minister is Wang Shouren, facing the army sent by your Majesty, even if it is directly
If we abandon Nanchang City, we will definitely take away the grain and crops in the city as well as the families of hundreds of officials."
