Zhu Gaochi is serving porridge.
Soon a soldier rushed over.
"Your Majesty, Master, something happened!"
"The prince orders you to rush back to Prince Yan's Mansion immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Zhu Gaochi and Monk Daoyan changed.
When they arrived at the study room of Prince Yan's Mansion, they saw Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and other generals kneeling in front of Zhu Di with faces full of shame.
"Father, what happened?"
"Then Xie Gui went to Xishan and forced the three guards to leave Peiping within three days and go to Kaiping to prepare for the border defense!"
Zhu Di spoke with a gloomy face, "If the three guards of Yanshan still resist and disobey the order, Xie Gui will mobilize the troops of the guards in Beiping and destroy them as traitors!"
"This Xie Gui is really arrogant! I actually underestimate him!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuzhu Neng's face became even more ashamed.
"Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
"Two generals, what are you talking about? Please get up quickly!"
Zhu Di personally stepped forward and helped Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng up.
"This matter has nothing to do with the two generals, don't think too much about it!"
"But your lord, once we leave Peiping, I'm afraid Xie Gui, Zhou Shu and others will take action against you!"
Zhang Yu said worriedly, making everyone change their expressions.
Looking at the troops and horses in Beiping City, except for the negligible manpower of the Yamen, there are only the three guards of Yanshan and the five hundred brave forbidden troops brought by the eunuch Zhou Shu, as well as the five soldiers under Xie Gui, the commander-in-chief. Thousands of troops!
Putting aside the guards near Beiping City, the total number of soldiers and horses that the imperial court could mobilize in Beiping would not exceed 10,000 people. So this was the real reason why Zhou Shu did not dare to act rashly before!
The three guards of Yanshan are the greatest protection for King Zhu Di of Yan!
Once the three guards are transferred out of Peiping, King Zhu Di of Yan will be reduced to a piece of meat on the chopping board and will be slaughtered by the imperial court!
Zhu Di and others also understand this truth.
But now Xie Gui has squeezed out Chen Heng, holds the power of the Beiping Dusi in charge of the army, and has also brought the imperial edict of the new emperor Zhu Yunwen!
If the three guards of Yanshan continue to resist and disobey the order, they will inevitably face disaster.
A stern look flashed in Zhang Yu's eyes, and he lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, how about we... raise an army?"
"That's inappropriate!" Monk Daoyan refused directly, "The time has not come yet!"
"It's the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the Uliangha cavalry are far away outside the Great Wall. There's no chance of winning in a hasty attack!"
"But if we don't have troops now, we will have no chance!" Zhang Yu retorted in a rare retort to Dao Yan, "Once the three guards are transferred from Peiping, Zhou Shu and others will take action, and then everything will be over!"
If King Zhu Di of Yan was arrested by the court, then they would raise any kind of rebellion or just wipe their necks and commit suicide!
Jin Zhong also suddenly said, "The food we have exchanged has not arrived yet. If we raise an army now, we will definitely lose!"
Unsurprisingly, like Dao Yan, he firmly opposed raising an army.
But if we can’t afford the troops, what should we do next?
When Zhu Di heard the argument between the two sides, his expression became uncertain.
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he really wanted to start an army now.
Zhu Di has had enough of this day of pretending to be crazy and acting stupid!
The imperial court is pressing harder and harder. Instead of continuing to pretend to be a grandson, it is better to fight them with real swords and guns!
Even if I am going to die, I will die vigorously instead of waiting to become a prisoner of the imperial court!
When he thought of Zhu Yunwen's ugly face, Zhu Di suddenly became worried and was about to give the order to start his troops.
At this moment, Zhu Gaochi suddenly spoke.
"General Zhang Yu, does Su Yang know about what happened in Xishan?"
"Um... Mr. Su has heard something!" Zhang Yu replied honestly.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked hurriedly.
"Then did he say how to solve it?"
"Your Majesty, Mr. Su really didn't mention it!"
After hearing this, everyone was a little disappointed.
But if you think about it, you can understand that the Yan Palace is currently facing a dilemma and has no choice but to raise troops!
Zhu Di sighed and was about to give the order again and start his troops directly.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu suddenly mentioned something again, "Master Su just said, without the three guards of Yanshan, who will mine for him!"
Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
Zhu Di was so angry that he wanted to beat Su Yang right now.
Mining?
Still thinking about mining!
Your father-in-law and I are about to be in trouble!
Why don't you want me to send you some ore after I go down?
What a bastard!
With the last glimmer of hope shattered, Zhu Di no longer hesitated and decisively ordered: "In that case, let's get up..."
As soon as he finished speaking the word "qi" and before he could say the word "bing", Zhu Di was interrupted.
Monk Daoyan slapped his thigh suddenly and stood up excitedly.
"yes!"
“No one is mining anymore!”
"Why didn't this poor monk think of it?"
"Master Su is truly a genius!"
Everyone: "???"
What?
What's wrong?
What are you trying to figure out again?
"Ahem, monk, tell me what you have to say!"
Zhu Di's ambition, which he had finally aroused, was frightened away by Monk Daoyan.
Daoyan in black smiled and said immediately: "My lord, it is not difficult to break the situation. The key lies in how to prevent the three guards of Yanshan from leaving Peiping!"
When everyone heard this, they were immediately speechless.
Is not this nonsensical?
If the three guards don't have to leave, why should we worry?
But the explicit transfer orders have been issued, and there is also the imperial edict of the new emperor Zhu Yunwen. What else can the three guards do?
Why is there anyone more awesome than Ming Emperor Zhu Yunwen in this world?
Zhu Di glared at Daoyan in black angrily, "Monk, don't force others to make things difficult for you!"
"If the three guards had not left and Xie Gui had transferred the guards from the Beiping Dusi, the result would not have been the same?"
The total strength of the guards in Peiping is as high as 300,000, and even a drop of spit from one person can drown them all!
But Monk Daoyan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? We haven't done anything during this period!"
"Now the hearts of the people in the north are all for the prince. This is the best amulet for the prince!"
"Mr. Su seemed to have mentioned it unintentionally, but in fact he was reminding us that it's time to activate this amulet!"
Everyone was confused and didn't quite understand what Dao Yan meant.
"Monk, please speak clearly."
"The three guards of Yanshan are in Xishan, nominally mining!"
Monk Dao Yan had no choice but to explain in detail.
"Nowadays, anthracite coal explosion has become an indispensable fuel for every household in Peiping."
"If the anthracite suddenly disappears at this time, what do you think the people of Peiping will do?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Monk, what do you mean..."
"The news was released that Xie Gui coveted the anthracite coal business, so he forcibly transferred away the three guards who were mining for the common people."
“Xishan Coal Group has no one to mine, so the production of anthracite coal has to be suspended, and all anthracite coal on the market has been removed from the shelves!”
Daoyan in black narrowed his triangular eyes and licked his dry lips.
"If Xie Gui wants to transfer the three guards, he must be prepared to stir up rebellion among the people in Beiping!"
