The city is broken, the city is broken, the Yan army is entering the city! "

The people ran all over the street in panic. An old man in his sixties staggered and ran a few steps as if the sky had collapsed, and fell to the ground.Immediately, the iron cavalry of the brigade galloped past him, and the sound of horseshoes "slapping" made people's hearts jump. The person at the front of the team, holding a big flag in his hand, was a "Yan" Yu.

"My God, the Yan army has entered the city!"

The old man yelled twice more frantically, and ran to stand under the dripping eaves of a nearby house. Seeing the Yan army galloping past him like a flood, the old man yelled out of his wits twice. Suddenly came to his senses, and thought about it carefully: "Yan Jun's entry into the city...what does it have to do with me, a bad old man?"

The old man was honest and stood still against the wall, no longer yelling or moving, and when he turned his head, he suddenly found a hole in the window sill next to him. Suddenly, there was a funny feeling about the movement on the screen.

Ever since Zhu Sui, the King of Gu, knew that the fourth brother didn't mind that he had abandoned the Xuan Mansion to join the emperor, his psychological balance had shifted towards Zhu Di.To be honest, the reason why he defected to Jinling at the beginning was because he expected that King Yan would not be able to succeed, and King Yan had no power to fight against the emperor, so he could only choose the emperor's side.

He doesn't have many soldiers and horses, so he doesn't care about cutting down the feudal clan, but what does it mean to cut down the feudal clan?Cutting off the vassals means cutting off the soldiers and horses of the vassal kings, cutting off the military leadership power of the vassal kings, and the vassal kings are just princes, not vassal kings, but his nephew who is "extremely benevolent and filial" is too ruthless. It's the cut king!Just like Emperor Liu Sheng of the Southern Han Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, except for his own lineage, he wanted to kill all the royal family members in other houses.

But he also thought that no one could fight against the emperor, so he played a little trick, took advantage of King Yan's soldiers entering the Xuanfu, and fled directly to the capital, and came a "self-throwing net." He will no longer be regarded as a threat. In the end, because King Yan was forced to rebel against the emperor and stopped the steps to cut down the vassal, he was saved. In such a situation, how could he be loyal to Jianwen.

Therefore, when Li Jinglong ambushed his own soldiers behind the tent and invited him to come to discuss major issues, there was no need for Li Jinglong to throw a cup as an excuse to remonstrate. King Gu immediately followed suit and promised to invite King Yan to the capital.

As soon as King Yan's army came in from Jinchuan Gate, the people in the streets and alleys shouted, and the news of Yan's army entering the city quickly spread throughout the city.Xu Huizu, Duke of the State of Wei, was originally guarding Shence Gate. When he heard that the Yan army had entered the city from Jinchuan Gate, he immediately led the army over like a thunderclap.At this time, the news of Yan's army entering the city had spread throughout the city, and only one Xu Huizu was willing to send troops to meet him. Other than that, the guards, fathers, ministers, relatives, and kings of the other cities all remained silent. Stand still.

When Xu Hui's ancestral soldiers arrived at Zhongfu Gate, they met the oncoming Yan army. When the Yan army entered the city, they received a strict order from the King of Yan: Do not approach the palace and quickly confront the thirteen city gates.The most troublesome thing for King Yan was that after entering the city, he didn't know how to face the emperor. Now he can only rely on Xia Xun. Before that, he could only leave the palace alone. As long as the entire city is under control, as long as the thirteen sects are under control, those officials on his list that must be arrested will not worry about them escaping.

Therefore, after the Yan army entered the city, they immediately rushed to each city gate. Qiu Fu led the soldiers and horses. When they arrived at Zhongfu Gate, they ran into Xu Lizu. As soon as the two armies came into contact, they were completely defeated and fled. Only Xu Huizu's personal soldiers followed him closely.

Xu Huizu's horse under his crotch was stabbed to death by Yan Jun's spear, and he immediately jumped on the other horse led by his general to fight again. Seeing his bravery, Qiu Fu stepped forward to fight him with a knife. Xu Huizu only had a team of personal soldiers, outnumbered From then on, he was killed and retreated steadily, and was forced to retreat to the west of Shence Gate. Even Shence's horse was taken by Qiu Fu's soldiers and horses.

At this time, there were only a dozen of Xu Huizu's cronies, all of whom were wounded. Xu Huizu looked around, sighed sadly, circled the horse and left. Seeing him running away, Qiu Fu didn't chase him. Zemen went.

Xu Huizu returned to the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion covered in blood, and was greeted by his family members who had already been frightened. Xu Huizu's face sank like water, he ignored the greetings from his wife and children, and went straight to the ancestral hall, in front of the tribute to the iron coupon of the alchemy book bestowed by the Taizu. After kowtowing three times, he took off the iron coupon of the Dan book, put it in his arms, and came to the spirit of his father, General Xu Da, with an extremely complicated expression. Once you bend, you can't kneel for a long time....

"Where is my fifth brother locked up now?"

As soon as King Yan entered the city, some well-informed officials on both sides of the city gate rushed to greet him. When they saw him coming, they immediately knelt down on the ground. Zhu Di didn't recognize any of them, so he pulled back his horse and asked loudly .

Huang Zhen immediately got up and replied: "Your Highness, I know where His Royal Highness King Zhou is detained."

King Yan looked at his robes and knew that he was an official from the Imperial Envoy's Platform. He said happily, "Lead the way!"

"Yes, yes!" Huang Zhen immediately ran ahead. When King Yan saw it, he hurriedly ordered: "Give him a horse!"

Immediately, a soldier jumped off the horse and gave the horse to Huang Zhen. Huang Zhen was flattered, and quickly let the soldier climb on the horse with the help of the soldier, leading Yan Wang to go.

King Zhu of Zhou and his family were imprisoned to the west of the palace near the Huanyi Bureau.The children were detained in different courtyards. Zhou Wang Zhuzhen and Princess Feng Shi had a separate courtyard, a room, and a palm-sized courtyard. It seemed that they came from the next door. Can't see anything.

The couple were imprisoned here. Except for giving them a sip of drinking water every day, the jailer could not fetch water for them to feed and shepherd, nor could they provide them with a toilet, clean up the filth for them, and eat and drink in the courtyard. The courtyard and body are full of stench.They were still wearing their winter clothes, and because of the hot weather, Zhu Xi was wearing his robes, exposing his bony, muddy chest, squatting in the corner of the yard, playing with a weed.

In this situation, of course he can't have the heart to think about herbal medicine, not to mention that this is just an ordinary weed, but he always has to find something to do, or he will really be driven crazy.

Concubine Feng is wearing a close-fitting little gown. The gate of this courtyard is sealed, and the daily meals are stuffed in through the small hole at the bottom. She doesn't have to worry about being seen by anyone other than her husband.She was sitting leaning against the courtyard wall, her head hidden in the shadow of the eaves, her body reflected in the sunlight, with the ragged cotton jacket spread out on her legs, and she was catching lice.

The yard is too quiet, it has always been so quiet, because this area is the most remote place in the entire Jinling City, the sound of "popping" when the long nails that can't be trimmed pinch the lice can be heard in the ears, It seemed that the ear drums were slightly swollen from the shock.

Everything outside, they don't know.

During those days in Yunnan, they were exiled to the wilderness, and they had no idea what happened in the Central Plains.When they were suddenly escorted back to Beijing, they accidentally listened to the officers and soldiers chatting in the middle of the escort. They vaguely knew that after the emperor arrested King Qi and him, he seemed to have arrested several princes one after another. The king was imprisoned in Sichuan. Self-immolation, and the fourth brother... seems to have rebelled.

But after that, he didn't know anything anymore. Ever since he entered the capital, all the couple could see was a corner of the sky above their heads. After a long time, there was nothing to talk about between the two husbands and wives. They were just so dumb I live my life, and sometimes I don’t look at that weed in a daze.He would lie in the yard, looking at that corner of the sky, hoping that there would be clouds passing by, so that he could see some moving things. At this time, he would occasionally think of his fourth brother...

Zhu Peng was fiddling with the weed in boredom, when the courtyard door slammed a few times, Zhu Xi was a little curious, why would someone come here today before it was time for dinner?Immediately afterwards, the gate of the courtyard opened, and Li Bie, the head warden, walked in.

On the first day when King Zhou was imprisoned here, he had seen this jailer, but he could no longer remember his name.Li Bie bowed his waist respectfully, and said with a smile: "Oh, His Royal Highness Zhou Wang, the princess, the little people are so soft-spoken, and have never been able to take care of you two. Look, you have suffered a crime. The villain It's also involuntary...

Zhu Peng stood up slowly and looked at him numbly. After being imprisoned for so long, his body and consciousness have become numb a lot, and he couldn't react for a while.Only the concubine, Feng Shi, hurriedly put the ragged padded jacket back on her body because of the instinctive shyness of women.

As soon as Li Bie waved his hand, several wardens ran in from behind, some with basins, some with buckets, and some with some clean summer clothes. Li Bie smiled and said, "Your Highness, Madam, please Shower and change clothes, freshen up and dress up."

"You..., you are...".

King Zhu of the Zhou Dynasty suddenly came to his senses, "I stepped back in panic, leaning against the wall and screaming, "Is the emperor going to kill me?Is the emperor going to kill my whole family? "

Li Bie wanted to step forward but didn't dare, so he straightened his hands in a hurry: "Oh, look at what you said, what did you think of it, there is absolutely nothing to do, it is definitely not what your Highness thinks, you..., you should wash up , change clothes first."

Li Bie also knew the news of the Yan army's entry into the city, and immediately thought that the prisoner he was guarding was going to turn around. He guessed that King Yan would have to go to see the emperor first as soon as he entered Beijing, so he hurriedly took the first step and wanted to show his favor to King Zhou first.Unexpectedly, Zhou Wang was like a frightened bird, but actually frightened Zhou Wang.

At this moment, there was a loud noise from behind. Li Bie turned his head and saw a group of men in brightly armored and murderous looks rushing in. Zhu Peng, the king of Zhou, only said that what he expected was right, the emperor really wanted to slaughter him The whole family died, and couldn't help hugging the concubine tightly, trembling all over.

The soldiers with knives who broke in couldn't help but kicked the prison guards aside. They looked at the pair of unkempt beggars in amazement, and didn't dare to recognize each other for a moment. The leading soldier stretched out his hand, and then Pulling back Li Bie who had been kicked aside by him, he asked sharply, "Are these two His Royal Highness King Zhou and Your Majesty?"

Before Li Bie could answer, Zhu Di, who was wearing a winged crown and a scarlet dragon robe, broke in and met Zhu Xi's eyes, both of them stood there in a daze.Zhu Xi never expected that the fourth brother who should be running around in exile would appear in front of him in such fresh clothes. Although Zhu Di knew that the fifth child was imprisoned here, he never thought that Zhu Xi would become a prostitute in Yunnan. Three years later, Taishan the ape, and more than half a year after sitting in a well and watching the sky in Jinling, it turned out to be like this.

The brothers of the same mother looked at each other for a long time, Zhu Di's nose became sore, and two lines of hot tears flowed down his face. He said in a trembling voice, "Old Five, Brother..., I'm here to save you!"

"Fourth brother! Fourth brother!" Zhu Xi suddenly understood, he wailed, rushed over to hug Zhu Di tightly, and burst into tears...! ~!
