King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 31 The sorrow of little people! (Please read and collect)
  The sun sets.

The dim sunset glow spreads, covering the land with golden military uniforms.

As a hostage, Zhu Gaoxu felt the remaining warmth of the sunset falling on his body.

He couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky, counting the hours in his mind.

Zhu Gaoxu, who had an unknown weed in his mouth, had a rare smile on his face that had been gloomy for a long time.

He turned to look at the taciturn prince Zhu Gaochi, who had a sad face, and joked:
  "Hey...boss."

"It's already this hour and the sun is almost setting. Are the lives of the three of us saved?"

"Isn't the old man settled with Jianwen?"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but look up at the sky, and then at his son who was looking at him with excitement. After hesitating for a moment, a trace of melancholy flashed in his eyes, and he reminded:
  "Second dick."

"Don't draw conclusions too early."

Seeing the appearance of the person clearly, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu glanced at each other. They couldn't help but exhale a long breath, and their tense minds couldn't help but relax.

Compared with their relaxation, Jianwen, the orphan in charge of the guard, looked particularly nervous. He subconsciously tightened the sword in his hand, and shouted at the group of people who rushed towards him with eyes like hooks:

The voice just fell.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu also looked extremely nervous and put on a defensive posture, guarding Zhu Zhanji tightly behind them to prevent any accidents.

"No one knows how it will end until the last minute."

The figure and face of the visitor slowly appeared in everyone's eyes.

In an instant.

Ta-ta-ta.
  The sound of rapid horse hooves sounded in the distance, sending dust flying into the air.

"Stop anyone who comes."

Everyone on the slope looked at the place where the sound of horse hooves came from with serious expressions, and couldn't help but become nervous.

A group of people wearing flying fish uniforms, followed by two strange men in fancy clothes, rushed towards them.

"Now is not the time to let down your guard, put away your careless look!"

If nothing unexpected happens.

Jianwen, the orphan in charge of the guard, pulled out the big knife in his hand with a clang, half of it pointed at the position where the horse's hooves came from, and the other half pointed the cold blade directly at the three hostages.

The atmosphere in the venue instantly became extremely weird.

Not long after, the sound of horse hooves approached.

It seems that my father and Emperor Jianwen had a very pleasant conversation and reached some kind of consensus.

"Success or failure is often at this last moment. You know better than me."

They don't have to worry about being attacked by swords or axes.

"It's not like you don't know the old man's character, otherwise you won't even be able to cry when the time comes."

It was a near miss and he survived.

"Keep your distance and give your name."

At the same time, he put the big knife in his hand directly on the necks of Zhu Gaochi and others, assuming a posture of attacking if they disagreed.

‘call’

Seeing this, Jin Yiwei, who rushed to the front, subconsciously tightened the reins in his hands and stopped the horse's progress, fearing that Zhu Gaochi and others would be injured due to some of his actions:
  "You will put down your weapons immediately."

"According to His Majesty's decree: take the crown prince, the King of Han, and the grandson back to the palace."

Say it.

The leader of the Jin Yiwei looked at Jianwen's orphan who was following him and others, and shouted:
  "What are you doing standing still!"

"Why don't you quickly put down your weapons? If you hurt the prince, the king of Han, or the grandson."

"None of us can afford it."

The man in black clothes at the rear dismounted and quickly came to the front. He took out half a broken jade token from his arms and raised his hands above his head:

"The master ordered: Release the hostages."

"This is the master's token. Who can come forward to verify it?"

Among the guards, a middle-aged man with a stern face put away his knife and stepped forward, taking the token from the man in black, and then took out a piece of broken jade from his arms and compared the two. After careful comparison, the middle-aged man took a deep breath, handed half of the broken jade back to the man in black, and then glanced coldly at the Jin Yiwei not far away.

After a moment of silence, he turned and waved to his nervous companion behind him:
  "Put the knife away and let him go."

After that, all the Jianwen orphans sheathed their swords and silently retreated to the side.

The middle-aged man looked at the man in black and asked:
  "Master, do you have any other instructions?"

The man in black nodded slightly and responded:

"The master said that he has reconciled with the emperor."

"And the emperor also promised to pardon all the orphans. The orphans who will soon be imprisoned and exiled in bitter cold places will return to their places of origin with the help of the imperial court."

"Master will always accompany the ancient Buddha Qing Deng in the later period. I also hope that all of us can let go of all hatred and no longer need to worry about the past."

"Go and start your new life in peace."

"As long as everyone lives well and is safe, that is what the master wants to see most."

This statement came out.

All the Jianwen orphans were stunned on the spot, looking at each other in astonishment.

Logically speaking, after hearing this news, I know that all my brothers, sisters or elders have been pardoned.

This plan was successful.

People like them no longer have to hide and live in fear like rats in the gutter.

But it is open and above board, bathed in the sunshine.

This is something that should be happy.

But for some reason, they didn't feel any joy in their hearts.

On the contrary, he felt a little melancholy, as if he had been drained of his energy and energy.

It was as if I had lost my life goal and suddenly became confused.

Everyone froze in place, falling into an eerie silence.

Zhu Gaoxu, who got on his horse, looked at the stunned Jianwen orphan, with a complicated meaning flashing in his eyes.

He could understand the feelings of these people, but he was powerless.

These people are so similar to him who wanted to go to feudal lordship!
  This is the tragedy of little people.

They have no decision-making power in everything.

Just obey.

They can only do what is said above.

After pondering for a moment, he reached out and took out a bag of golden beans and threw it towards the middle-aged man:

"Meeting each other means we are destined to meet."

"There's nothing I can do for you."

"This time, I will give you some of my thoughts and give you some money."

"It's all gone!"

"Don't let down the stability your master sacrificed his life for you."

"Live your life in peace."

"Stop fussing."

The prince on the side was a little surprised when he saw the situation in front of him. Then he couldn't help but sigh, shook his head slightly, and then reached out and patted Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder gently:

"Go back!!"

The two looked at each other, Zhu Gaoxu nodded, tightened the reins in his hands, turned around and shouted:
  "drive!"

Under the protection of the Jinyi Guards, the group headed for the capital.

The dim sunset stretched everyone's shadows longer and longer until they disappeared.
