Outside Daning City.
Zhu Quan came on horseback.
Seeing Zhu Di from a distance, he quickly got off his horse.
"Fourth brother?!"
"But in front of Fourth Brother?"
Zhu Di also hurriedly dismounted and stepped forward to give Zhu Quan a bear hug!
"Hahaha...seventeenth brother!"
"I never thought I would be alive to see you!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Quan's face almost turned green.
What does this mean?
Why are you looking forward to my death or your own death?
"Fourth brother, you have worked hard!"
"My brother has already raised his troops and is preparing to pacify the situation in order to stabilize the country!"
Hearing this, Zhu Di's face changed slightly.
This seventeenth brother actually took the lead in raising an army.
That would be a bit troublesome!
Zhu Di originally planned to go directly to instigate General Daning while Zhu Quan was still watching.
After all, most of these Daning generals were Zhu Di's old subordinates back then. Relying on this friendship, Zhu Di was absolutely sure to persuade them to surrender and follow him to conquer the world!
But now that Zhu Quan has taken the lead in raising troops to quell Jingnan, and all the generals in Daning have chosen to be loyal, things will be really troublesome.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain!
Jingnan's army can only have one commander!
And this person must be his King of Yan, Zhu Di!
Seeing Zhu Di's uncertain expression, Zhu Quan secretly shuddered in his heart and immediately pulled Zhu Di into Daning City.
Of course, the 100,000 Yan troops led by Zhu Di could not enter the city and could only be temporarily stationed outside Daning City.
It was obvious that Zhu Quan was on guard against Zhu Di, not giving him any chance to take advantage of him.
Zhu Di had no choice but to take Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng into Daning City, leaving Tan Yuan, Qiu Fu and others to guard the army.
When a group of Daning generals heard that King Yan Zhu Di had arrived, they came to pay their respects.
A big banquet started immediately, and the atmosphere was so lively.
It's just that Prince Ning Zhu Quan looked a little embarrassed, or slightly unhappy.
He sharply discovered that King Yan Zhu Di was very familiar with the generals, and they quickly became friends.
This is Zhu Quan's subordinate. Why do you, Zhu Di, have the nerve to poach someone in front of you?
Why are you so thick-skinned that you just won’t betray anyone?
Although Zhu Di entered the city alone, he was not worried about his own safety at all.
Now that Ning Wang Zhu Quan has also launched a rebellion, it is impossible to attack him.
Otherwise, before the imperial court's 500,000-strong army arrives, the Yan army and the Ning army will have a fight first. That is something that no one wants to see!
With confidence, Zhu Di did not panic at all.
Faced with the flattery and compliments of all the generals, Zhu Di did not refuse anyone who came, drinking when he should, eating meat when he should, and he was extremely generous.
Unexpectedly, I thought that he, King Zhu Di of Yan, was the host of this banquet!
On the contrary, Ning Wang Zhu Quan was ignored by everyone!
This is the difference in personal prestige!
Zhu Quan was so angry that his face was livid, but he couldn't get angry easily.
Seeing that Zhu Di was almost poaching people, he finally couldn't sit still and poured cold water on the lively banquet.
"Fourth brother, twelfth brother's matter..."
The twelfth brother was none other than King Bai of Xiang. He had been forced to death by the imperial court before and had gained a bad reputation as a "violent king"!
At the mention of King Xiang Zhu Bai, the entire hall fell silent instantly.
Zhu Di slammed the wine glass on the desk with an angry look on his face.
"What is the crime of my miserable twelfth brother?"
"Not only was he humiliated at the hands of his disciples and forced to burn himself to death, that little beast Zhu Yunwen also completely ignored blood and family ties and gave his twelfth brother the evil posthumous title of 'King of Violence'!"
"I, Zhu Di, will not be a human being unless I take revenge for this!"
Hearing this, all the generals were filled with indignation and started shouting one after another.
"The new emperor is ignorant and ignorant, it's time to rebel against him long ago!"
"Yes, a scholar who doesn't know shit deserves to sit on that dragon chair!"
"Follow Heaven to pacify the difficulties and stabilize the country!"
Seeing that the generals were filled with righteous indignation and spoke out in support of Zhu Di, Zhu Quan's face turned even darker.
Why the hell did this have the opposite effect?
Before he could speak, Zhu Di stood up directly, raised his arms and shouted: "Generals, you are all the pillars of our Ming Dynasty, and you are also the old generals who followed Emperor Taizu Gao in the north and south!"
"Now that the bones of Taizu are still cold, the young master is fatuous and traitors are in power, Taizu Xueyin has been humiliated and even lost his life because of it. Are you generals indifferent to this?"
"If Emperor Taizu Gao has a soul in heaven, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to rest in peace!"
"My king, Zhu Di, hereby requests all generals to send troops together to provide peace to the heavens, clear the emperor's side, stabilize the country, and restore peace to the world!"
I have to admit that Zhu Di's words were extremely inflammatory and made the generals' blood boil.
However, just when they were about to respond, they felt a cold look from none other than Ning Wang Zhu Quan.
Only then did all the generals realize that something was not quite right!
They are not the subordinates of King Yan Zhu Di now, but the subordinates of King Ning Zhu Quan!
For a moment, the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
After all, King Zhu Di of Yan and King Zhu Quan of Ning are both here, and no one dares to say a word.
Zhu Di noticed Zhu Quan's livid face, and instead of being angry, he smiled.
His seventeenth brother is indeed wise, brave and ambitious.
But Zhu Quan has a fatal weakness, that is, he is self-righteous, narrow-minded, and willful!
For such a person, it is almost impossible to achieve hegemony, but he is just like Yuan Shao!
Zhu Quan felt Zhu Di's gaze and forced a smile.
"Fourth brother, you don't have to wait until we enter Aurous Hill, we can avenge twelfth brother now!"
"Oh?" Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, "What does Seventeenth Brother mean by this?"
Zhu Quan smiled without answering and clapped his hands directly.
Soon, a person was brought up by Wuhuada, and it was Daning guard Liu Zhen!
"Fourth brother, this person is Liu Zhen, a die-hard loyalist to the court!"
"How about we kill him to sacrifice the flag today and avenge Brother Twelve?"
Ning Wang Zhu Quan showed a cruel smile and handed the knife directly to Zhu Di.
This is a conspiracy.
Zhu Di had just shouted that Fengtian Jingnan could not clear his side, so facing a die-hard loyalist of the court, he would naturally take action.
But Liu Zhen used to be Zhu Di's subordinate, and he also went to the fortress with Zhu Di to fight. If Zhu Di really killed Liu Zhen, it would be a fatal blow to his prestige.
At least these Daning generals who are ready to make a move will also consider their past friendship.
Zhu Di's expression changed slightly, but he did not reach out to take the knife.
When Liu Zhen saw this scene, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.
"A bunch of rebellious officials and traitors, why are they so pretentious?"
Zhu Di did not get angry when he heard this, but said very sincerely: "General Liu Zhen, I have always known that you are brave and good at fighting, and you are loyal and courageous. In this case, why don't you join me in the peace and stability of the country?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire audience was silent, and even Liu Zhen himself was stunned.
But soon he shook his head decisively.
"The general has always admired His Highness the King Yan's talent and strategy, but the life of the general was given by Emperor Taizu Gao. Taizu decreed that I be loyal to the current emperor. Liu Zhen must swear allegiance to the death, and he will never betray his master. A matter of survival!"
Liu Zhen's words were spoken from the bottom of his heart. Many generals' eyes changed and they did not dare to look directly into his eyes.
Zhu Di was delighted when he saw this, took the long knife decisively, and then slashed it down hard.
The next moment, everyone was surprised to find that his knife actually split the rope on Liu Zhen's body!
"Fourth brother!"
"What do you mean?"
