Yao Guangxiao struck while the iron was hot and said, "Your Majesty, the people's support is what they want now, and this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Please, Your Majesty, seize this opportunity. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
Zhu Di walked towards the top step by step, as if every step was of great importance.
Sitting back on the chair, Zhu Di sighed in a heavy tone: "Now, do I still have a choice?"
He really had no other choice. As long as the emperor knew that most of the imperial court had gathered in Peiping, he couldn't explain it even if he wanted to.
Unless, like Yao Guangxiao said, he took his whole family to the capital to plead guilty, he would be able to get a slim chance of survival.
But Zhu Di, who had been fighting for half his life, could not be captured like this. Therefore, he has only one way to go, and that is to rebel.
But rebellion is easier said than done?
Even Zhu Di admires Zhu Biao's ability. Although Han Du's battle experience is definitely not as rich as his, when it comes to naval battles, Zhu Di thinks he is no match for Han Du.
There are also many famous generals in the court, and Zhu Di is not absolutely sure who can win. I’m afraid we won’t know who is better until we fight.
Under such circumstances, the chance of success for rebellion is slim.
Hearing the complaint in Zhu Di's tone, Yao Guangxiao knew that if he didn't give Zhu Di enough confidence, he might really take his whole family to the capital to plead guilty.
"I almost forgot to report the good news to the prince."
Zhu Di's eyes widened when he heard this. Yao Guangxiao said there was good news at this time, and his purpose was self-evident. Ordinary news would definitely be of no use to things like rebellion. Since he mentioned it at this time, it must be something that would be of great help to the rebellion.
】
"What good news?"
Yao Guangxiao said with a smile: "The person that the prince has been thinking about has agreed to help the prince."
"What did you say? He really agreed?" Zhu Di couldn't believe it at all. He couldn't figure out how that person could be persuaded by people like Yao Guangxiao, or what kind of benefits Yao Guangxiao had promised him. ?
"What does he want?" Zhu Di said, and added eagerly, "Tell him, no matter what he wants, I will agree to it!"
Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together and shook his head lightly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, he doesn't want anything, just to help His Majesty!"
How could Zhu Di believe such a ridiculous reason? He didn't want anything, risked annihilating the nine tribes just to help himself. Since when did I, Zhu Di, have such charm? Why didn’t he know it?
And Zhu Di knew that asking for nothing generally has two meanings: one is that he wants too much, and he is embarrassed to speak before he has accomplished anything, for fear of scaring Zhu Di; the other is that he wants to let go before he has thought about it yet. Let’s talk about it later.
But no matter which one it is, it means that Zhu Di will have to cut his flesh painfully in the future.
How can Zhu Di care about this now? We will talk about future matters later, but now we have to get over the current hurdle first before we have the chance to talk about the future.
"Even with his help, my chances are not great." Zhu Di sighed and looked at Yao Guangxiao, "Even if the Ming Dynasty lost 200,000 troops at Jiayuguan, there are still at least 300,000 troops in the Beijing camp. Sit in charge. With the few troops I have, I am afraid that even Fu Youde is no match for me."
"Prince Fu Youde, don't worry, let alone the one hundred thousand troops under his command." Yao Guangxiao said confidently.
A sharp light flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, and he asked in a deep voice: "Even Fu Youde, are there people from you?"
"The prince really has a sharp gaze." Yao Guangxiao said, "As long as the prince gives the order, Fu Youde's head can be taken off at any time. Even the 100,000 troops belong to the prince."
"You!" Zhu Di was shocked, and he couldn't help but ask, "How did you do it?"
If Yao Guangxiao had only said that he could take Fu Youde's life, Zhu Di would not be so shocked. But when he said that he could control the 100,000 troops, Zhu Di was really surprised.
Are you kidding? That was the army brought out by Fu Youde. How could it change hands so easily?
"It's just a small trick, not worth mentioning."
"My king...let me think again." Zhu Di pressed his temple in distress.
Yao Guangxiao nodded and looked at Zhu Di deeply: "Your Majesty, the poor monk can wait, but I'm afraid that the emperor and Han Du can't wait!"
Zhu Di was shocked, his face became extremely gloomy, and he waved his hand: "I understand."
??????????????????After Yao Guangxiao left the attic, Zhu Di slumped down on the chair all by himself. The tremendous pressure made him so tired that he didn't even want to move a finger, but he couldn't express his inner troubles to anyone else, not even Princess Yan, who respected him as a guest.
Everything can only be resisted by him alone.
...
Chen Di took his family with him and saw the city of Beiping, which looked like a giant dragon coiling over the plains.
I couldn't help but exclaim: "The tiger is perched on the dragon and the dragon is on the pan. It's an emperor's atmosphere, it's an emperor's atmosphere!"
"Master." Chen Di's old wife was shocked when she heard this and hurriedly advised: "Master, don't talk nonsense, this is a serious crime of decapitation!"
"Beheading?" Chen Di laughed loudly, touched his neck fiercely, and snorted: "From today on, Zhu Biao can't kill me, and I will continue to flourish! Hahaha... ..."
"Master, master, are you hysterical? Don't scare me!" The old wife had limited knowledge. Even after following Chen Di all the way to Beiping City, she didn't notice anything was wrong.
Anyway, the master said he was coming to Peking to visit friends, so she really took it as a visiting friend. But she never thought about what kind of old friend it was that needed to travel so far away to come?
Chen Di stopped explaining and led the convoy towards Beiping City with a wave of his hand.
When I arrived at the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion, I saw the world-famous Beiyuan Palace for the first time. Even with Chen Di's experience, I felt that the Beiyuan Palace was comparable to the Forbidden City.
In this way, his confidence is even stronger.
The guard saw a large group of people standing outside the palace gate and pointed, and he quickly stepped forward and asked, "May I ask who you are?"
"I, Chen Di, have come to pay homage to King Yan, why don't you go and report it!" Chen Di straightened his back, as if he was not an old man with no official position, but a dignified cabinet scholar and minister of rites.
Fortunately, the guard had already received the order, and he quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please wait for a moment, and I will go and make a report."
...
Yan Zhen, Bao Zhao, Chen Di... As former court officials came to Peiping one by one, Zhu Di knew that there was not much time left for him.
Finally, after Zhu Di had a detailed discussion with Chen Di and others, he raised troops on the grounds of "clearing the emperor's side and punishing the traitors".
However, Zhu Di did not dare to directly raise such a banner. There are currently less than 100,000 troops in Peiping. Trying to resist the imperial court with this small amount of troops is tantamount to wishful thinking.
Therefore, the first thing Zhu Di should do is to quickly increase his strength.
The first one to bear the brunt was Fu Youde, but Fu Youde was wise and courageous and loyal to Zhu Biao. No one can seize military power from him unless he is killed.
Yao Guangxiao patted his chest and assured Zhu Di that Fu Youde's head could be removed.
But Zhu Di disagreed with this. Killing was easy, but the difficult thing was to find the perfect reason to kill Fu Youde.
"I will not doubt that you can kill Fu Youde, but why should Fu Youde die?"
Yao Guangxiao was asked by Zhu Di, he only cares about killing people, why would he care about anything else?
Zhu Di saw it and sneered: "Not only do I want to kill Fu Youde, I also need a good enough reason. Otherwise, how could the one hundred thousand army be controlled by me obediently?"
Those are 100,000 elite soldiers, not 100,000 fools. If the commander-in-chief of an army is assassinated, and if the murderer cannot be found and cut into pieces, it will be regarded as the disloyalty of the one hundred thousand soldiers.
Without enough reasons, Zhu Di's desire to control an army of 100,000 was simply a dream.
"This..." Yao Guangxiao also understood the difficulty, but he understood it too late and had not thought of a countermeasure yet, so he could only make Nuonuo's mouth awkward and speechless.
In desperation, he had no choice but to ask Zhu Di: "Does the prince have any good ideas?"
Zhu Di raised his head slightly, lowered his eyes and glanced at Yao Guangxiao lightly: "Since you are sure that you can kill Fu Youde, you must have people around him, right?"
"Exactly." Yao Guangxiao nodded. He knew that he couldn't hide this from Zhu Di, so he admitted it openly.
"I have a plan." Zhu Di waved to Yao Guangxiao and whispered for a moment.
After listening to Zhu Di's plan, even Yao Guangxiao, who always considered himself resourceful, couldn't help but admire him with admiration: "The prince's plan is brilliant, and the poor monk admires it very much."
Why did Zhu Di reveal his plan in front of Yao Guangxiao? Because people like Yao Guangxiao have taken the initiative in this matter until now. Even if they raised troops, it was these people who pushed Zhu Di to this step.
If Zhu Di cannot show his ability and strength, then even if he wins in the future, will the world belong to these people or to Zhu Di?
As Zhu Di expected, his plan really suppressed Yao Guangxiao.
"Since you agree, let's proceed as planned." Zhu Di's tone was calm, as if such a strategy was nothing to him.
Yao Guangxiao nodded repeatedly, with respect in his expression: "As ordered, the poor monk will immediately send the prince's strategy to Fu Youde's army."
Zhu Di raised his eyes and looked at Yao Guangxiao, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. At this time, you bald donkey still refuses to reveal who is the person placed next to Fu Youde?
Yao Guangxiao immediately understood what Zhu Di meant, and quickly leaned over and bowed: "Deputy General Liu Zhen."
It turned out to be Lieutenant General Fu Youde. No wonder he dared to take off his head with complete confidence.
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Zhu Di showed a smile on his face and waved lightly to Yao Guangxiao: "Go ahead."
"The poor monk retires."
