Chasing King

As commander in chief of the garrison, Zhu Lanting is in charge of all the troops inside and outside the Forbidden City. If you take this man, you will be able to win the battle. Otherwise, you will have to break the city by force within three days before the king Qin's army arrives, and they will need at least twice as many troops.

Yan Sikong knows Zhu Lanting, who was born into a powerful family. Zhu's family has always been a famous family of Dasheng. After the women of this family gave birth to the emperor, their power reached its peak.

The Empress Dowager and her younger brother Zhu Taishi are very sober. They are royal relatives and never get involved in the party struggle between the eunuch party and the gentry. Apart from forcing emperor Zhaowu to establish a crown prince, they have always been the greatest reliance of emperor Zhaowu.

Zhu Lanting, who was well-off since his childhood, became the leader of the Zhu family after the death of Master Zhu. In his whole life, he was rich, praised and respected, and never lacked such a person. Except for greater rights, there was nothing to tempt him. However, he had a good character and attached great importance to reputation. He would only let Chen Kai, the prince recognized by the Zhu family, succeed to the throne, and he would never be selfish He was appointed to usurp the country.

Even if his cousin gave birth to a prince of half Zhu family blood.

Yan Sikong knew that it was impossible to persuade him to be a counter thief, and Feng Ye knew that, so he had to alienate Zhu Lanting and Chen Kai, so that they would not have the chance to join hands.

The first thing they want to do is to make Zhu Lanting feel crisis.

So that night, Fengye sent troops to the border fortress to further besiege the Forbidden City.

Although there are walls in the border fortresses and moats, they are not real cities. They are equivalent to the sentries of cities, but the sentries of ordinary cities are on the walls. Only the sentries of the Forbidden City are a few miles away, and the walls are built to prevent the city from being attacked.

But the border fortress didn't have much defensive power. When the army came, the smoke suddenly rose and the guards retreated one after another. Before dawn, the Feng family army came to the outer city of the Forbidden City and camped on the spot. At the same time, they ordered tens of thousands of infantry to fight under the city, sending out the sound of shaking the sky.

At the moment when the Forbidden City emerged, after hundreds of years of wind and rain, it was rare for the rebels to fight under the city. The vast majority of the soldiers who have been guarding the city have never seen the scene of a large army pressing down on the border in their lives.

Yan Sikong looks at the magnificent city in the distance. It is like a luxurious and huge monster, lying in the endless mountains and rivers, luring the people of insight in the world with its magnificent appearance, and unknowingly harming them with fragrant wine and intoxicating power. Some people lose their lives, some lose their souls.

In this city, there are so many intrigues, life and death, joys and sorrows, but everyone wants to go in. Everyone who goes in wants to climb up to the top and step on everyone's feet.

Steady footsteps came from behind, and there was no need to look back. Yan Sikong also knew that the visitor was Fengye.

"You can't get out of bed yet." Fengye road.

"I just got a whiplash, not a broken leg." Yan Sikong was still staring at the Forbidden City in the distance and said with emotion, "when I left, I didn't expect to be back so soon."

Three years, only three years, he helped Fengye kill back.

"I didn't expect that my father, mother and elder brother would protect me in heaven."

Yan Sikong recalled the day when he left Beijing. With great ambition, he drove his horse out of Yongding gate. Looking back, he remembered Huang Chao's poem, "I will kill all the flowers after I bloom." it contained the indignation and surging ambition that he failed many times and failed to meet his talent. Later, he launched an uprising and joined Chang'an.

Hundreds of years later, Emperor Taizu also rose up and came to the world. He borrowed the words from ancient times and left behind "I don't do it when I have a hundred flowers, but I will be scared if I do".

Now, he and Feng Ye are standing here.

Will they eventually become the writers of history books, or a trivial chapter?

In a hundred years' time, how will the world write about them, say about them, and see them?

Feng Ye seemed to see through Yan Sikong's idea. He focused on his potential territory and said in a soft voice: "are you thinking about what kind of writing will be left for us on the basis of historical books?"

Yan Sikong murmured: "historian pen, zhuxinjian, let's see how they treat me one by one."

"Your life has not been decided yet."

Yan Sikong shook his head: "I don't want to do anything extravagant."

Feng Ye looks at Yan Sikong's disconsolate appearance, and suddenly feels a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"This is for Zhu Lanting." Yan Sikong suddenly took out a letter from his sleeve, "send someone to send it."

Feng Ye took the letter, spread it out and scanned it, then put it away: "do you really have the letter you passed with Zhu Lanting?"

"It's already burned." Yan Sikong said, "but if I need to, I can imitate his notes at any time. I remember all the contents. Let's scare him first."

"Well, I've ordered people to spread rumors, and the gifts sent to my hometown in Xichuan have already started."

"Chen is suspicious. Even if he thinks that this may be our estrangement plan, he doesn't dare to believe Zhu Lanting. After all, when he was in Yunnan, I said Zhu Lanting was my inner man in the court." Yan Si empty face no expression way, "wish Orchid Pavilion don't bite, he will also bite.""But I'm afraid these are not enough to pry open the gate of the Forbidden City."

"I've won you a lot of time for Chen and Zhu Lanting not to join hands." Yan Sikong suddenly thought of something, "when general Feng conquered Shun Tianwei, where was Yin zhouyu in Shun Tianfu?"

"It's closed." Feng Ye seemed to think of something, "his son What's the name again? "

"Zhou Fuxing." Yan Sikong said the name, suddenly felt a little far away, "I have a good friendship with him."

"I don't know if this person is in Shuntian or the capital. I'll order someone to check." Feng Ye then called the bodyguard and ordered him to go down.

"He is mostly in the capital, and he loves the bustle of the capital." Yan Sikong thought, "although Zhou Fuxing has a wide range of communication, he has no official position."

Feng Ye sneered: "what if he is allowed?"

"He is a dandy. Zhu Lanting doesn't like him. He can't speak in front of Zhu Lanting." Yan Sikong narrowed his eyes. "However, if he can persuade his father, his father may help us win over some officials." He thought about it, then shook his head, "but if he is not in the same place with Zhou Yudao, it's useless. We don't have time to contact him."

"I'll go and find out first. Even if it's no use now, I'll have to have important officials on my side when I enter Beijing one day."

"Fengye." Yan Si said in a deep voice, "if you really enter Beijing, what will you do?"

"Why, are you worried that I will become emperor immediately? I'm not that stupid. " There was a smile in Feng Ye's lips, but there was no smile in his eyes. "Just as you and I said at the beginning, I would support a little prince. Unfortunately, my aunt has no son. If Zhu Lanting knew each other, it would be the 13th prince."

Yansi also guessed it, but still worried about Fengye meeting After all, with Fengye's audacity, there is nothing he can't do.

"Don't worry, I didn't cheat you. I want to stabilize the vassal."

Yan Sikong nodded: "well, what about que? The que forgets is still in Chen's hands. What if he threatens you with que forgets? "

"If he is clever, he will exchange the life of Que for his own."

Yan Sikong leered at Feng Ye: "it's also possible to kill que Ji to revenge you, and show his determination to be irreconcilable with you."

"He dares," he said in a cold voice

Yan Sikong sneered: "in your heart, mountains and rivers are far more important than one person. How can I expect you to save que forgetting?"

Feng Ye stares at Yan Sikong and grits his teeth: "I regard que Ji as my brother. I will try my best. But since the day when he followed me to rebel, he had already prepared for my life and death. If you want me to trade the country for him, how would you like him to live? "

"I didn't ask you to trade Jiangshan for him. I'm not so naive." Yan Sikong gritted his teeth and said, "I want you to exchange me for him when you have nothing to do."

"No way!" Feng Ye flatly vetoed, he glared at Yan Sikong, eyes red, "such words, don't mention half a sentence with me!" With that, he turned to leave.

"Feng Ye!" Yan Sikong said harshly, "if que forgets to die, I will hate you all my life."

Feng Ye stopped and glanced at Yan Sikong. His lips moved slightly. Although he could hardly restrain his angina, he still calmly replied, "what's the difference between that and now?"

Yan Sikong stared at Feng Ye's back until he disappeared.

-

Yan Sikong's letter urging Zhu Lanting to surrender has just arrived in the capital, and all kinds of rumors have spread rapidly, saying that Fengye has secretly conspired with the Zhu family to abandon the king of Chu and support the thirteen princes. In a few days, the news that Fengye has sent gifts to the Zhu family's ancestral home in Xichuan will also spread all over the world.

Rumors don't have long hands, but they can kill people.

At this time when the military situation is critical, the imperial court is not so easy to fall into this estrangement. After all, Zhu's family is emperor Zhaowu's cousin and has always been loyal to Emperor Zhaowu, but Chen knows that he and Zhu Lanting have secret communication. If the imperial court does not believe it, Chen's letter will be enough. If Chen's letter is enough, other king Qin troops will believe it.

After the letter was sent, the stone sank into the sea. Naturally, it was impossible for Zhu Lanting to reply to his letter, especially when rumors were everywhere.

But this is no harm. Once Zhu Lanting and Chen Kai are unable to form an alliance and are threatened by the destruction of the city, they will have the possibility of surrender. Therefore, they must be forced to a desperate situation.

Fengye was making the final preparations for the siege. He wanted to seize the time with the king Qin army, at least to capture the outer city before the king Qin army arrived.

War, which is on the verge of breaking out, is bound to set off waves shaking the world.
