Jin Zhongdaoyan's expression changed drastically.
They never expected that the imperial court would offer such a price.
The scholar-emperor Zhu Yunwen was really willing to give up, and he decreed that Zhu Gaochi, the Crown Prince of Yan, be the King of Yan and inherit the Yan vassal line!
In other words, as long as Zhu Gaochi nods in agreement now, he can directly ascend to the throne and become Prince Yan of the Jianwen court!
As for his father Zhu Di, who is he? He is a traitor!
Sorry, I'm not familiar with him!
Moreover, this plan is extremely vicious and destructive to the extreme!
If Zhu Gaochi really surrenders to the imperial court, what will the officers and soldiers of the Yan army think of His Highness the King of Yan?
Your own sons have surrendered to the imperial court. If you rebel against your own father, you can only imagine what kind of thing you are, Zhu Di!
This will be a fatal blow to the prestige of King Yan, enough to affect the direction of the entire campaign!
"My lord, please don't listen to these slanderous words!"
"That's right, Your Majesty, you absolutely can't believe it!"
Jin Zhong and Dao Yan hurriedly warned Zhu Gaochi from the side, fearing that Zhu Gaochi would do something stupid.
If Zhu Gaochi makes a wrong move now, the Yan army will be completely ruined!
Before Zhu Gaochi could speak, Fang Xiaoru continued to speak: "Your Majesty is generous and kind, and this is why you, Zhu Gaochi, are given a chance. You must not be ignorant of good and evil."
"As long as you are willing to surrender to the imperial court and stand firm in Peiping to reject your father, I can now hold the imperial edict and designate you as the contemporary King of Yan. Your name is justifiable and the imperial court orders you to do so!"
"Zhu Gaochi, what do you think?"
Fang Xiaoru looked at Zhu Gaochi triumphantly, as if he had seen the moment when the fat man knelt down to accept the imperial conferment.
There is no way, in Fang Xiaoru's world view, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is the biggest principle.
As the saying goes, "the king of heaven and earth is the teacher of relatives", the king is still ahead of the relatives, and the king's life is more important than the father's life. Even if Zhu Gaochi surrenders, no one dares to say that he is unfilial. On the contrary, they will praise him for abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, knowing the righteousness and understanding the principles!
This is the theoretical basis for Zhu Gaochi's surrender!
Besides, that’s a real benefit!
Zhu Gaochi is now just a prince of Yan, and he is not favored by the traitor Zhu Di.
If that's the case, why can't he surrender to the imperial court?
As long as he surrenders, he will immediately become Prince Yan, no one will be in charge, and he will no longer be beaten and scolded by his own father. Why not?
Therefore, Zhu Gaochi had sufficient reasons and excuses to accept the imperial court's surrender!
Seeing the hesitant look on Zhu Gaochi's face, as if he was hesitating, Fang Xiaoru immediately added fuel to the fire.
"Zhu Gaochi, I've heard for a long time that you are knowledgeable, don't you even understand the principles of the Lord of Heaven and Earth and your master?"
"Besides, you are not valued by your father. What your father values is Zhu Gaoxu. In that case, why would you follow your father in rebellion and become that eternal thief?"
"Fang Xiaoru!" Monk Dao Yan was angry, "Don't try to confuse the public with your evil words here!"
"The prince values the prince very much, otherwise he would not have ordered the prince to take charge of Peiping!"
"Hahaha..." Fang Xiaoru laughed out loud when he heard this, his tone full of contempt.
"It's really ridiculous! Listen to what you said, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"If that traitor Zhu Di really valued Zhu Gaochi, he wouldn't just take Zhu Gaochi with him and leave him to defend Beiping City!"
"Everyone knows that this is a fatal situation. If you are not careful, you will become a prisoner, or even die on the spot!"
"If Zhu Gaochi hadn't defended Beiping City with his cleverness, what do you think would have happened to him now?"
Fang Xiaoru's lips touched and he opened his mouth to say some heart-wrenching words.
After Dao Yan, Jin Zhong and others heard this, their expressions immediately changed, and they even looked frightened.
Because there is some truth in what they said, or Zhu Di was not without this suspicion when he made this decision.
You must know that when Zhu Di rushed to Daning, he took away all the elite soldiers, including Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and other brave generals, leaving only two surrendered generals, Zhu Gaochi, Chen Heng and Gu Cheng, and 40,000 to 50,000 surrendered soldiers. military!
Going by Fang Xiaoru's words, it's hard not to suspect that Zhu Di did have other thoughts.
Even if the city of Beiping is captured, he can still maintain his effective strength, but he will give up some generals and soldiers.
Especially Zhu Di took away his favorite Zhu Gaochi, leaving him to defend here, risking his life to defend!
Then this... is enough to make people think too much!
Zhu Gaochi's face looked uncertain for a while, as if he was really persuaded by Fang Xiaoru.
"Your Majesty, don't listen to the slanderous words of traitors!"
"Your Majesty has absolutely no intention of doing this. Sir, you..."
Zhu Gaochi waved his hand impatiently and stopped Daoyan Jinzhong's persuasion.
"Fang Xiaoru, where is the secret letter? Bring it over and show it to me!"
As soon as he heard this, Fang Xiaoru was overjoyed. Daoyan, Jin Zhong and others felt like they were mourning for their heirs!
It’s over!
It's all over!
The prince is confused!
Fang Xiaoru did not doubt that he was there, so he rode forward and took out the secret letter from his arms, and then handed it to Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi took the secret letter, then suddenly raised his hand and gave Fang Xiaoru a big mouth.
"What a dog-like bastard!"
"Do you really think I'm a fool to believe your evil deeds?"
"You dare to sow discord here. If the two armies hadn't fought and refused to kill you, I would have chopped you off right now!"
This sudden and shocking change shocked everyone present.
Fang Xiaoru was suddenly slapped in the face, and he was so angry that he was trembling and furious.
"Zhu Gaochi, you damn bastard, I must..."
Before he finished speaking, Qu Neng immediately stepped forward and covered his mouth.
Because the Yan army on the top of the city had already bent their bows and set up arrows, this distance was enough to shoot them all into a sieve!
"Fang Gong, leave quickly, there is no more talk!"
Fang Xiaoru pushed his hand away, glared at Zhu Gaochi with a look of resentment on his face, then hurriedly turned around and rode away.
No matter how you look at it, it sounds like running away.
Everyone in the Yan army burst out laughing, and all previous suspicions were completely wiped out by the prince's slap.
"Everyone, how are you? Did I just perform well?"
Zhu Gaochi asked with an excited smile, which made everyone laugh.
Daoyan and Jin Zhong were both dumbfounded when they saw this. This prince really... made them worry for so long in vain.
"Your Majesty, there are still hidden dangers in this matter. This secret letter..."
Daoyan reminded in a low voice, his eyes were very deep.
Zhu Gaochi was stunned when he heard this, then reacted and threw it directly to him without even looking at it.
"Ask the secret guard to send it to my father, and also give a detailed account of my son's great achievements just now!"
"It feels really good to beat up a great scholar in public. Su Yangcheng won't bully me!"
Zhu Gaochi laughed loudly.
But his words shocked everyone.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean..."
"Is this what Su Sheng expected?"
Jin Zhong asked with shock on his face.
Chen Heng and Gu Cheng also widened their eyes with disbelief on their faces.
Zhu Gaochi didn't hide anything from them and explained in a low voice.
"You still remember Su Yang's little notebook, right?"
"It's written above that if the Southern Army fails to attack the city, they will use conspiracy and tricks, such as promising to recruit my son to surrender with huge profits, offering the title of King of Yan, etc..."
"Su Yang told me not to be polite. No matter who comes, meet them first and then beat them, in order to weaken the spirit of the Confederate army and boost the morale of our army!"
Everyone: "!!!"
Your mother!
Is this the banished immortal?
There is no plan left, and the enemy is as good as a god!
The power of Sault Ste is so terrifying!
