Chapter 82 - King of Keng Ning
Chapter 82: Trapping King Ning
"Gao Xu, why are you so happy!"
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's proud face, Princess Xu couldn't help but wonder.
We are now at a critical juncture of the war, and everyone is feeling heavy. This is the first time she has seen Zhu Gaoxu in such a cheerful mood.
"It's nothing, I just see that my father is recovering well, and my son is happy."
Zhu Gaojiu would not foolishly tell Princess Xu the news that Zhu Di wanted to support him. He knew very well that it was his eldest brother Zhu Gaochi who his mother had always supported.
Afraid that Princess Xu would see the flaw, she found an excuse and left quickly: "Mom, dad asked me to inspect the city defense, so I'll leave first!"
"What happened to Gao Xu today?"
Looking at Zhu Gaoxu's hurried away figure, Princess Xu was still confused as to what the fake King Yan inside had said to him to make him so happy.
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but feel sorry for his second son, who was deceived by Zhu Di once again.
"Slippery!"
Moreover, he himself was not uninterested in the chair in Nanjing City, but the sudden appearance of Emperor Taizu in Nanjing City frightened him and he did not dare to act rashly for the time being.
After he figured out the situation, he still planned to fight for that seat. At that time, troops and horses would become particularly important, and it would be impossible to lend them out.
He, Yao Guangxiao, studied the Three Teachings and was proficient in Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and astronomy. However, none of his knowledge could be used to describe and explain this mysterious and mysterious situation.
True and false, false and true, false and true, true and false, unpredictable.
When King Yan entered Daning, as the host, King Ning welcomed him with great courtesy and entertained him with a feast.
However, King Ren Ning is as cunning as a fox and as treacherous as a ghost, and he is sure to take down King Ning. Sometimes cleverness is not worth absolute force.
“Incredible.”
Zhu Di seemed to have given up the plan of borrowing troops, and said with a sad look, and then grabbed Prince Ning's hand and said jokingly: "Fourth brother finally came to Daning, and he is leaving now. Why don't seventeenth brother see him off in person?"
Send it to Fourth Brother!"
Zhu Di asked Yao Guangxiao, who came to the Jianwen era and was wearing black monk robes.
"Old monk, how do you feel?"
"Although we are not afraid, if we fight head-on, even if we win, we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties in the end and will be unable to fight anymore."
"Stop chatting for now. There will be plenty of time for chatting later."
Yao Guangxiao was amazed again and again. Whether it was returning to the Jianwen era or the fusion of the two selves, he felt like he was still dreaming.
"That's fine."
For kings like them, soldiers and horses are the lifeblood and the foundation of their existence. How can they just borrow it?
"Master Dao Yan is now in place and we can start our next plan!"
"Be sure to keep Peiping safe and intact for me. When I return, it will be the day of a decisive battle with the imperial army."
Maybe she had already determined in her heart that Zhu Di was King Yan, but she just couldn't accept that King Yan would change so much after being in a coma for a period of time. The unfamiliarity made her feel scared.
Zhu Di nodded and immediately summoned a group of civil and military officials from Prince Yan's Mansion to discuss matters.
It's a pity that he could only fool Zhu Gaoxu. Prince Ning did not accept his trick and even sneered at Zhu Di's words!
Sharing the country is a light thing to say. Since ancient times, there has been no reason for two emperors to call each other at the same time.
The next day, the Yan army went out of the city to fight, attracting the attention of the imperial army. Zhu Di took the opportunity to rush to Daning with Zhu Gaoxu, Qiu Fu and others. Zhu Houzhao, with the help of Jin Yiwei, sneaked back to the imperial army to prepare for the final battle.
But it was all superficial. Prince Ning was good at planning and was not just bragging. He saw Zhu Di's intention at a glance, but he pretended to be dumbfounded all the way. The situation is still unclear now, and the imperial court still has the power to suppress the world. He doesn't want to go too early.
Just stand in line.
Ning Wang Zhu Quan refused to follow the path, but Zhu Di would not give up easily, and directly stated his purpose: "Zhu Yunzhen is cruel and unethical, causing harm to the clan. The fourth brother is determined to provide peace to heaven, eradicate the traitors in the court, and return our Ming Dynasty to a clear blue sky."
Zhu Houzhao spoke up!
Stepping into the room, Zhu Di was pretending to read a copy of "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. That familiar look made Princess Xu confused again. She could no longer tell whether Zhu Di was real or fake.
"As long as my seventeenth brother is willing to help me, when things are done, it will be great for you and me to divide the world equally and share the country!"
"Since the seventeenth brother has said so, the fourth brother will no longer force himself. I will go back to Peiping to fight to the death with the imperial army. If I lose, the seventeenth brother must remember to avenge the fourth brother and don't let him.
That boy Zhu Yunwen continues to trample on the dignity of our brothers."
He accompanied Zhu Di all the time when he was bragging and gossiping, but borrowing troops was impossible and he couldn't even think about it.
"During my visit to Daning, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi will be in charge of all affairs, with monks Dao Yan, Zhang Yu, and Zhu Neng assisting him."
Even if Zhu Di is really willing to share the country, that person will never be him. He knows full well what his relationship with Zhu Di is!
"Seventeenth brother, you must also know the purpose of fourth brother's coming here!"
King Ning's words were accurate, as if he was loyal to Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Di couldn't help but feel very angry. This old seventeen was extremely cunning and difficult to deal with no matter where he was in the world.
Princess Xu saw the shadow of King Yan in Zhu Di, and also saw a temperament that did not belong to King Yan. She didn't know how to face Zhu Di for a while, but she just left a warning to Zhu Di again and went back!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu
When everyone arrived, Zhu Di didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point: "The imperial army is laying siege to the city. It is obvious that they want to trap us to death."
"Fourth brother's words are overstated. Although Yun Wen is a little ridiculous, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who was personally designated by the father. How can you and I, as vassal princes, commit crimes against the emperor and rebel against the emperor with his subordinates?"
"Therefore, I have decided to go to Daning to ask King Ning to borrow troops. If Beiping and Daning join forces, we will be able to give the imperial army a head-on attack."
Traveling through time and space, I am myself, and myths and legends are nothing more than that!
All the civil and military personnel in Prince Yan's palace shouted in unison, as if they had seen the hope of victory. King Yan and King Ning joined forces and the imperial army was not to be feared.
Prince Ning had a very hypocritical smile on his face and dealt with Zhu Di casually.
Prince Ning wanted to refuse, but a smart man's intuition told him that Zhu Di's move was definitely unkind, but Zhu Di's palms were like iron pincers to restrain him, making it difficult for him to break free. He had no choice but to agree to Zhu Di's request.
: "The fourth brother is coming from afar, and the younger brother should see him off."
And just this gift gave away all his inheritance, leaving Zhu Di with nothing.
"Hahaha"
Zhu Di laughed loudly and said: "If the fourth brother can defeat that boy Zhu Yunwen, I will definitely hold a big banquet in Peking in the future. I would like to thank the seventeenth brother for the hospitality today."
He said the word "thank you" very hard, which made Prince Ning feel more and more uneasy. Zhu Di was definitely making a wrong idea, but he couldn't avoid it at this time!
