high official

Chapter 172

The boat turned into the reed-grown river, and the tall reeds were the best cover.

On the small boat, a big purple-faced man has changed to punting the boat, and there are guards at both ends. Zheng Jiaoyu is talking to the owner in the cabin.

The master was wearing a Ge Bu priest robe, and had taken off the wig on his head, revealing a shiny bald head. Under the bald head was a thin and handsome face, with a pair of melancholy eyes like autumn pools, which was heartbreaking and could not bear to look directly at.

"Your Majesty was shocked. This minister is Zheng He, the Instructor of Pujiang County, who was entrusted by Mizhi County to pick him up here." Zheng Jiaoyu bent down and kowtowed: "Long live, long live, long live, Your Majesty."

"Zheng Jiaoyu please hurry up, I am no longer your Majesty, just call me a monk." The young man who was called His Majesty said with apologetic expression: "For me alone, I let so many of you I really can't bear to put people in danger."

"What about your Majesty, you should be loyal to your ministers, and put life and death aside." Zheng Jiao said: "What's more, Your Majesty's auspicious people have their own heavenly appearance, and there are gods protecting them in the dark, so nothing will happen." Suddenly heard The monk's stomach growled, and Zheng Jiaoyu guessed that he must be hungry after traveling for a long time.Snacks were prepared on the boat, and they hurriedly offered them up, "Your Majesty, let's eat something first."

"I can't eat it." The young man shook his head, his melancholy eyes were full of sadness and said: "An Yi and the others have been by my side since childhood, and they have been in exile with me for ten years. They are called master and servant, but they are actually brothers." Two lines of teardrops streaked across his cheeks and said: "Today, thirteen people went away at once. The eight who led the other party away before, I'm afraid it's more or less ominous..."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be sad. It is the honor of the ministers to be loyal to the Lord and seek benevolence." Zheng Jiaoyu said softly. "In this way, when we meet Emperor Taizu at the foot of the spring, we can say with peace of mind that the minister is a loyal minister!"

"Glory, it's just sorrow; loyal ministers, lonely ministers..." The young monk's eyes were slightly red when he heard this, and he stretched out his white and slender fingers to wipe away the tears.Shaking his head sadly, he disagreed and said, "I would rather all of you live with honor and not be this loyal minister."

"Master, now is not the time to say these things." Zheng Jiaoyu couldn't let the young man remain passive, so he turned the topic back to his eyes and said, "There will be officers and soldiers coming over this river at any time, we should quickly find a safe place to stay. "

"Look at this posture," the young monk still shook his head and said, "The imperial army should have surrounded Pujiang, I can't go and cause trouble for you." After a pause, he said, "I'd better get out of here quickly..."

"I can't leave for a while. As far as we know, Tang Yun led the Zhejiang army and sealed off all the water and land passages in this county. His Majesty's transfer at this time is tantamount to throwing himself into a trap."

"It seems that my escape will end in Pujiang," the monk said sadly. "Forget it, after ten years of night rain in the rivers and lakes, it's time to end."

"Your Majesty must not be pessimistic." Zheng Jiaoyu hurriedly persuaded: "We will not be caught without a fight. The thick smoke you saw just now is Mizhi County creating chaos and letting the Ming Cultists take the opportunity to occupy the county!"

"Ridiculous!" The young monk frowned, and a scene of burning, killing and looting appeared in front of his eyes, and his melancholy eyes were full of anger: "Why are the people innocent? They are going to be brought to the pond?!"

"Your Majesty doesn't know something," Zheng Jiaoyu said with a wry smile, "There are more than one hundred thousand people in Pujiang County, more than 1 people surnamed Zheng, and most of the rest are related to the Zheng family. Why not simply turn the other way and welcome His Majesty into the city!"

"This is all caused by the widow..." the monk said heartbroken upon hearing the words. "I should have left Pujiang long ago."

"My Zheng family is a family of filial piety consecrated by the Taizu. Where will your majesty go if you don't come to Pujiang? I am honored to be loyal to your majesty!" Zheng Jiaoyu said, "It is the swallow thief who is too vicious. Everywhere!" He said angrily: "For ten years, he has acted perversely and resorted to war, and the world has long been filled with dissatisfaction. As long as His Majesty raises the king's flag, countless people will respond. His Majesty can fight the swallow thief again. The world is over!"

These words excited the few people who had been silent at the side, and they all echoed: "Your Majesty, we have been forced to the cliff, there is nothing to hesitate, let's make up our minds!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, we didn't do it on a whim! Over the years, in order to restore the country, Lord Zheng has been operating in Fujian, Lord Cheng in Jiangxi, Lord Liu in Lingnan, and Wang Gonggong in Yunnan. Promise, we will raise our troops to respond when the time comes. As long as His Majesty raises the king's flag, we can regain half of the country! The Yan thief usurped the throne and acted against him. The people of the world have long hated him. This time, we will win the battle of recovery. !"

"You guys, it was discussed earlier!" The young monk suddenly said. "No wonder the reaction is so slow this time..."

The young monk is exactly the Jianwen Emperor whom Zhu Di couldn't find!When the city of Nanjing was broken, Zhu Di did not immediately attack the city, but ordered the army to withdraw from the city.It's not because he suddenly showed kindness, but because after the winning ticket is in his hands, Zhu Di hopes to have a perfect ending... because he is playing the banner of "Feng Tian Jing Nan Qing Jun" instead of raising the flag to rebel. Emperor Jianwen clicked, this lie is not easy to tell.So he hoped that Emperor Jianwen would be more interesting, surrender voluntarily, and cooperate with him to complete the play.

Unexpectedly, Jianwen Jun, who has always been weak in literature and culture, gave Zhu Di a hard time. He set fire to the palace, took the prince and left the capital directly through the secret passage left by the emperor Taizu, leaving Zhu Di with ruins and a piece of ruins. Solve the heart disease!

Originally according to the plan, after leaving the capital, Jianwen would go to the south to join Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others who were recruiting soldiers there. Unexpectedly, the scholars were useless and the soldiers were not recruited, so they were captured and offered to Zhu Di.In desperation, Mr. Jianwen had no choice but to hide first, wait for the opportunity, and move with the times.

Unexpectedly, after waiting and going, what they waited for was the sad news that loyal ministers were slaughtered one after another.Fang Xiaoru refused to draft an imperial edict for Zhu Di, and Zhu Di forced her to write down the words "Yan thief usurping the throne". Zhu Di lost his mind in anger, and roared: "Aren't you afraid that I will destroy your nine clans if you don't write it?!"

"So what if I kill my ten clans!" Fang Xiaoru was just talking too much, but Zhu Di really executed Ling Chi and exterminated the ten clans!People have always had only nine clans. In order to make up the ten clans, Zhu Di pulled Fang Xiaoru's friends and students out to make up the number...

The tragedy of Fang Xiaoru was just the beginning of the bloody massacre.Tie Xuan, who almost killed Zhu Di in Jinan, had his ears and nose cut off, boiled and stuffed into his mouth.Zhu Di asked Tie Xuan: "Are you willing?" Tie Xuan replied: "Why are you unwilling to be a loyal minister and a filial son!" In the end, Ling Chi killed his son...

There are also Huang Zicheng, Ling Chi, and the Three Clans!Qi Qin, Ling Chi, destroy the three clans!Lian Zining, Ling Chi, exterminate the clan!Zhuo Jing, Ling Chi, exterminate the clan!Chen Di, Ling Chi, kill their sons!In addition, Tie Xuan's wife and daughter, Fang Xiaoru's daughter, Qi Tai's wife, and Huang Zicheng's sister were all consigned to the Jiaofang Division as prostitutes...

This kind of inhumane association and killing did not happen for a while, but throughout the early stage of Zhu Di's ascension to the throne, all the people in the court and the public, whoever had contact with Emperor Jianwen, were framed and killed by eagles and dogs... There is no doubt that this kind of bloody and frenzied killing started. When the deterrent effect is reached, the world will be silent, and no one dares to accuse Zhu Di of usurping the throne...

Jianwen Jun was also frightened. He originally had the wish to make a comeback, but seeing the huge disaster he brought to his loyal ministers, his fighting spirit disappeared. Bring disaster.

However, those ministers who went into exile with him were full of national hatred and family hatred, and vowed to tear the Yan thief into pieces and let him return to Dabao.They didn't listen to Jianwen's dissuasion at all, so they went to various provinces to make secret contacts, and have been preparing for the uprising for ten years...

Although Jian Wenjun felt kidnapped, he knew that this was the motivation for them to live. Not everyone is willing to live in seclusion like himself. So he has been passive and let it go...

on the boat.

After hearing Jianwen's questioning, several courtiers looked ashamed and said: "I dare not bully you, we have indeed been planning for a long time. Mr. Zheng formed an alliance with the people of Mingjiao, and agreed to a great cause together. With the strength of the Zheng family, it is no problem to hold the Pujiang River. However, because the old man of the Zheng family is firmly opposed to the uprising, this is something we did not expect...so it has been delayed until today, so we have to send it..."

"..." Emperor Jianwen's face was very ugly, but his tone was still very gentle: "What do you want me to do?"

"Your Majesty, please go down and convince my old man." Zheng Jiaoyu smiled wryly, "My Zheng family's soldiers only listen to him, and he only listens to His Majesty."

"Why didn't he agree?" Jianwen asked lightly.

"When people are old, they don't want to take risks." Zheng Jiaoyu said with a wry smile.

"You have already done what you should do now," Jianwen said sarcastically, "Can he not agree?"

"The old man is stubborn here," Zheng Jiaoyu said in a low voice, "He insisted on refusing to cooperate with Mingjiao, and we have dragged on until now, so we had to rush into trouble..." After a pause, he said, "But even if Mingjiao has already occupied Pujiang County, without His Majesty's approval, the old man will not cooperate with them."

"It's still the old man who understands my heart..." Jianwen sighed quietly.

"Your Majesty, don't hesitate!" Seeing that he was still so negative, everyone hurriedly persuaded: "The arrow is on the string, we have to do it!"

"How many people will die when this arrow is shot?" Jianwen sighed.

"We have already lost so many loyal ministers." The courtiers cried, "We must not let their blood flow in vain, Your Majesty!"

"But, I don't want to continue to bleed..." Jianwen said, seeing the grief of the courtiers, he sighed: "Don't worry, I will go to see the old man."

The courtiers thought that the emperor had finally changed his mind, and immediately became excited!
