Chapter 942 Bloody Palace Wall (31)
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is asking for a meeting." Zhu Ruodeng had just dealt with the prisoners, and his subordinates reported it.
"Oh, please come over," he said lightly. Some people don't want to see each other. They just forced their brother to death. How can they face the elder sister-in-law? They also want to see each other, out of some kind of victor's showing off to the loser.
The Crown Princess Sun Rou is here, not one person, but three people. One adult, two dolls: the eldest grandson Zhu Yixuan and the eldest grandson Zhu Yican.
The two children were pitiful, one was four years old and the other was two years old. They didn't know that their father had died, but Sun Rou held the other hand and came to everyone in front of him.
When Zhu Ruodeng saw that his sister-in-law had changed into mourning clothes, she looked sad, but her behavior was still decent and dignified, she couldn't help but secretly praised the woman of the Sun family in Rongcheng, which was indeed extraordinary!
He said in a compassionate tone: "Sister-in-law, the death of the emperor's brother is not my original intention. Please feel sorry for me!"
"Second brother, this matter is more than that!"
Sun Rou suddenly burst into tears, crying sadly, and she heard it. Her crying immediately made many ministers feel pity.
Zhu Ruodeng was busy comforting him in every possible way. He had forced his brother to death and should never give people the feeling of bullying an orphan and widowed mother. It would make him morally unfavorable. Although the emperor was strong and powerful, the world still had to take care of it.
"Second brother!"
Sun Rou suddenly called him sadly and knelt down with a plop, "The child is innocent, please spare the lives of the two children!"
"Oh, my elder sister-in-law, please get up quickly! Gu has no intention of this, Gujue has no intention of this!"
Zhu Ruodeng hurriedly expressed that he had no intention of harming his two nephews. To be fair, he was very worried about these two little guys. Their existence was a huge threat to his inheritance of the legitimacy. After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin killed all the sons of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji and killed them to get rid of the roots. However, his sister-in-law knelt down to him in front of so many ministers. If he refused and insisted on harming his nephew, he would inevitably lose the hearts of the people. The Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, the most important thing is to respect the law, and he should pay attention to the way of brothers and brothers and respect. He must not leave the world with the brutal impression of killing his brothers and nephews.
Therefore, these two little guys cannot be killed. Not only can they not be killed, but they also have to protect their lives to avoid causing rumors.
Lu Shiyi glanced at the crown princess Sun Rou meaningfully. This woman was amazing. She temporarily saved the lives of two young boys when she cried and knelt. Fortunately, she was a woman. If she was a man, I would advise Your Highness to kill him!
??
"Quick, speed up, and return to Duan's Palace." Duke Yan Xiaoyong of Fujian and general Zhang Hu urged Jinwu Town to return as soon as possible. To be upset, the Guards of Xiaji Palace were already at the end of their strength. But when they retreated, Yang Wei, the general of King Ji, led hundreds of dead soldiers to pursue and harass and entanglements, which slowed down the speed of Jinwu Town.
After finally rushing to the vicinity of Duanben Palace, he suddenly found that the King of Ji was actually hanging on the wall of the East Palace.
"No, Duke, it seems that the Crown Prince is in danger!" Zhang Hu's voice was crying.
"Zhang Zongzhen, Rusui organized troops to attack the city and rescue the prince." Yan Xiaoyong gritted his teeth and ordered.
"yes!"
Zhang Hu was a good leader in fighting. When he heard that the order was ordered to encircle three ques and one, he ordered the left camp general Xue You to lead the left camp to attack the north city; the right camp general Wan Xiong led the right camp to attack the south city; he led the front, middle, and back three cemeteries to attack the west city; he deliberately left the east city for the King of Ji to escape, and fell into his will.
The battle was extremely fierce. Zhang Erxian, the former battalion general of Jinwu Town, Xu Feibao, the latter battalion general of the King of Ji, and Liang Xinzhuo, both died in battle.
After a while, the shooting suddenly stopped on the top of the city and replaced it with a shout: "The prince is dead, why don't you surrender early?"
After shouting, he threw two packages from the top of the city wall. When he opened it, he found that it was the head of the crown prince Zhu Ruoji and the chief assistant Guan Shouzhen.
"Ah! It's really His Royal Highness!"
"Look, it's the head of Master Guan!"
Seeing these two heads, the morale of Jinwu Town instantly fell to freezing point. The snake was not good without a head. Without the crown prince, the soldiers did not know who to fight for.
Yan Xiaoyong said to Zhang Hu, "We have received great kindness from the Crown Prince, how can we not repay you?"
Zhang Hu's head followed Yan Xiaoyong to attack the city to death.
Unfortunately, the generals still had fighting spirit, and the soldiers were no longer willing to fight. The soldiers fled constantly, and the more they fought, the fewer soldiers. The generals of King Ji, Chen Biao, Zhebu, Zhang Mingxiang, Tuba, and Chen Gongyin rushed out from all directions. Jinwu Town was defeated, and Zhang Hu, Xue You and Wan Xiong were all killed in battle.
Yan Xiaoyong ran desperately, and the pursuers followed closely and chased into a street and alley. "Yu Yuyu", the war horse screamed with a wail, but it sprained its ankle. He had to get off his horse and ran away, and lost one of his shoes, and he didn't care.
A big mansion suddenly appeared in front of him, with the four big words "Dianguo Duke's Mansion" written on it.
The Duke of Dian Kingdom Shi Qiwen!
Yan Xiaoyong was overjoyed. His father, the old Duke of Min, Yan Tianfeng, and the Duke of Dian, Shi Qiwen, were close friends. Both of them were the first batch of heroes who followed the dragon to support the current emperor to restore the Ming Dynasty. He made great achievements and became famous in history. He and Shi Xiaozhong, the son of Shi Qiwen, were also friends. Originally, Shi Xiaozhong was also the confidant of the crown prince, but because Shi Qiwen was seriously ill, he took leave to take care of his old father at home, but he did not catch up with the change of robbing the door. Since it was their family, I guess I could hide!
"Bang~bang~bang~bang~" He knelt hard to knock on the door of the Duke's Mansion.
"Who knocked on the door?" the door asked when he heard the sound.
"I am Yan Xiaoyong, Duke of Min, who was forced by the pursuers. Please report to Duke of Dian and let me hide in the palace."
In the study at the Duke of Dian Kingdom's mansion, Shi Qiwenzheng and his son Shi Xiaozhong were having tea and chatting. The outside shouted and killed the sky, but this place was a paradise.
Suddenly, Shi Xiaozhong's eyebrows thumped.
"Why, I'm moved? Want to go out and cause trouble for me?" Shi Qiwen said with a smile.
Shi Xiaozhong looked at the old father with admiration, "I don't dare, I'm just curious, I don't know what's going on outside."
At first, he was the prince's personal and wanted to help the prince. But his father insisted that he remain neutral and forced him to ask for leave from the military camp on the grounds that he was seriously ill. As a result, after the incident of the siege, all kinds of signs showed that the party of King Ji had the upper hand. Fortunately, after listening to his father's words, he took leave at home and did not offend either side, otherwise it might really affect his family. Ginger is still so hot!
"Haha, you just can't hold back. No matter what's outside, as long as you, a Mao boy, don't leave the mansion, our family will be as stable as Mount Tai. As a father, he is the old minister of the dragon. No matter which side wins, he must rely on his prestige as a father. The good days of our Shi family are still to come." Shi Qiwen smiled with a scheming smile.
Suddenly, a slave from home came to report, "Duke, the eldest son, someone outside knocked on our door, saying that it was Duke Yan Xiaoyong of Fujian, who was forced by the pursuit of the army and wanted to hide in our house to avoid disaster."
"Oh! It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is completely defeated," Shi Qiwen sighed slowly.
"Yan Xiaoyong? Please invite him into the mansion." When Shi Xiaozhong heard that it was his friend asking for help outside the door, he felt compassion.
"No! Let him enter the mansion, he is safe, and the whole family of our Shi family will be in danger of urinating." Shi Qiwen flatly refused.
"But my father, Uncle Yan is your best friend; Yan Xiaoyong is also his son's friend. How can you not save him when you die?" Shi Xiaozhong cried and begged.
Shi Qiwen sighed long, "Zhong'er, you are the eldest son of the Shi family, and sooner or later you will be in charge of the Shi family. You must take the interests of the family to your personal feelings, remember it, remember it!"
Yan Xiaoyong stood in front of the Duke of Dian Kingdom's Mansion, waiting anxiously, hoping that the heavy door would be opened quickly. The door had not been opened, and all he got was the cold words of the door: "My Duke of my family is not at home, please go back."
The pursuers arrived and killed Yan Xiaoyong in front of the Duke of Dian Kingdom's mansion.
This incident was learned by later literati named "Yangyang Daming" and wrote a poem called "The Legend of the Dragon" to mock him:
"The Legend of the Dragon"
In the past, from the dragon came out of Guilin,
Everyone says this love is better than gold.
Even though gold is precious, I will not envy it.
Brothers can defeat hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
One hundred thousand soldiers and one hundred thousand blood,
Leave a name on Lingyan Pavilion.
It makes the name laughable,
