After Fu Youde finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Fu Zhan.
Fu Zhan was his personal soldier, and he had raised him with his own hands. He even gave Fu Zhan the surname "Fu".
It is not an exaggeration to say that Fu Zhan is half son of Fu Youde.
If possible, Fu Youde didn't want Fu Zhan to die.
But people are all selfish. Fu Youde certainly understood Zhu Yuanzhang's plan. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to force him to rebel, but he did not choose this path.
This means that Zhu Yuanzhang will not let Fu Rang go.
As a father, Fu Youde does not want Fu Rang to die under any circumstances, so someone must be willing to die for Fu Rang.
And Fu Youde's choice was Fu Zhan, who was most sincere to him.
Fu Youde lowered his head so low that he did not dare to look into Fu Zhan's eyes.
Fu Zhan knelt down on one knee and knocked on his armor again.
"My lord, I will obey your arrangements in everything. It is my honor to die in place of the Third Young Master. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Fu Zhan did not lie. His name was given by Fu Youde, so he was grateful and loyal to the Fu family. Fu Zhan had also taken the lead in these years and tried his best to protect Fu Youde's safety, but he felt that this was not enough. He hoped that he could Do something more for the Fu family. Today, this opportunity has come.
Fu Youde took a few deep breaths and felt a severe tightness in his chest. However, in order to keep Fu Rang alive, he still said, "I hope I can lend you your head."
After hearing this, Fu Zhan didn't hesitate at all. He directly pulled out the long knife from his waist and placed it on his neck. He raised his eyes and looked at Fu Youde and said, "My lord, you can take this life, but it's just behind." Due to my nature, I can’t accompany my father-in-law, so I hope he will take care of me!"
After saying that, Fu Zhan directly wiped his neck with the knife, and the hot blood splashed far away, staining Fu Youde's clothes and armor red.
Fu Youde stretched his trembling hands forward, as if he wanted to keep Fu Zhan's heroic soul, but how could he keep it?
He knelt down in front of Fu Zhan and closed Fu Zhan's eyes with trembling hands, while his own eyes were filled with tears.
"What a good man. He didn't die on the battlefield, but died in the struggle for power. Fu Zhan, please walk slower. I will come soon."
After saying that, Fu Youde swung his knife and chopped off Fu Zhan's head. He tore off a piece of his robe and wrapped the head.
He stood up again and walked towards the palace.
…
At the court meeting, Zhu Yuanzhang was still absent-minded. The eunuch who delivered the news hurried to him from the side and whispered: "Your Majesty, there is news from the shadow. The master of Zhang Ren's house has left the building and no trace of Fu Rang has been found. He has now disappeared. Went in pursuit."
Without catching Fu Rang, there was no way to force Fu Youde to submit.
At this moment, a loud shout was heard outside the palace: "Your Majesty! I, Fu Youde, request an audience!"
Fu Youde has arrived. Even if Fu Rang is caught now, it may be too late.
At yesterday's palace banquet, Fu Youde and Fu Rang were criticized a lot by His Majesty. The courtiers all thought that Fu Youde would not go to court today, but who knew that he would really dare to come.
For a time, the courtiers also began to whisper among themselves.
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could announce Fu Youde's presence, Fu Youde had already walked in with steady steps.
….
Behind them, there were also guards in royal robes standing guard outside the palace, "My lord, courtiers are not allowed to enter with swords. I also ask your lord to hand over the weapons you carry with you."
Facing the chattering Jin Yiwei, Fu Youde ignored him.
He walked straight to the middle of the hall and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Fu Youde, pays homage to your Majesty."
Although his words were respectful, at this moment, he didn't mean the least bit of respect.
Seeing that Fu Youde was covered in blood, many courtiers in the palace took a few steps back. Of course, there were also some courtiers who were either loyal or good at profiteering and stood between Zhu Yuanzhang and Fu Youde. They were clearly afraid of Fu Youde. Will he commit regicide?
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and waved his hands, saying: "There are no enemy soldiers near Jinling City."
, there are no bandits, Fu Youde, where did your body covered in blood come from? "
Fu Youde raised his head and met Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes without giving in at all.
He untied the cloth in his hand and pulled out a human head. In fact, the head had been scratched several times and his true appearance could not be seen.
Many of the courtiers were civil servants. They had never seen anything bloody. Now that they saw human heads, some were so frightened that they fell to the ground.
Fu Youde had a panoramic view of everyone's performance. He smiled contemptuously and said: "If you are so afraid of a human head, how can you have the courage to secure the country?"
The courtiers at the scene naturally disagreed with Fu Youde's words, but no one dared to refute it in such a scene.
This guy came to the court meeting with weapons. If he really went crazy and killed people in the court hall, that would be bad.
Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed a little deeper, and he asked, "Whose head is this?"
Fu Youde smiled coldly and said, "Don't you know, Your Majesty? This is the head of my son Fu Rang!"
There was an uproar in the hall.
Of course Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the head was not Fu Rang's, and he also knew that Fu Rang had run away with Zhang Ren, but he could not say this.
As soon as he said it, it showed that Zhu Yuanzhang was staring at Fu Youde all the time.
Many of the courtiers present were smart. With a little thought, they could figure out that this was Zhu Yuanzhang's plan.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt secretly resentful in his heart, and his beard trembled a few times along with his cheeks.
Fu Youde looked like he was going crazy. He pulled out the sword from his waist and plunged it into the floor of the Jinluan Palace. "Haha! Your Majesty, don't you just want the lives of our father and son? I personally cut off Fu Rang's head and give it to you. Today, I will I will give you the head on my neck as well!"
After finishing speaking, Fu Youde picked up the long knife and put it directly on his neck.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that things would develop to this point. It would be better if Fu Youde committed suicide in the Jinluan Palace. Then Zhu Yuanzhang would be burdened with the infamy that drove him to death. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about the infamy, but in this way, he would leave people with the emperor This is an unacceptable impression, which is not a good thing for the long-term development of Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and shouted loudly: "Stop! Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly! Stop him, don't let him die!"
If the shadow was there, he could stop Fu Youde, but the shadow was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to capture Fu Rang.
Naturally, there are other masters hiding in the dark in the palace, but they are all a little far away from Fu Youde. At this moment, if he stops, there is no way to stop them.
Fu Youde shouted: "My lord! I wish the Ming Dynasty a prosperous future!"
After saying that, he swung his knife and cut off his own life.
Blood splashed on many courtiers, who were so frightened that they screamed and the court meeting was in chaos.
Fu Youde fell straight down in the hall. He looked at the red lacquered gold roof, and the corners of his mouth curled up. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you wanted me to rebel, but I didn't. I was not as good as you wanted. I used my life to taint you. The name is worth it...
Fu Youde slowly closed his eyes and fell into eternal sleep.
Night rivers and lakes.
