What happened in the imperial capital of Jinling,
Soon someone was sent to Beiping City.
It was terrifying that even Zhu Yunwen himself had not thought that every move he made as the Ming Emperor had been clearly recorded and then sent directly to Yan Ni.
This is really not the work of the secret guards under King Yan, but the good deeds of those high-ranking and powerful people in the Jinling Imperial Capital.
For example, a certain general's queen, a certain Prince Consort, or some eunuchs and eunuchs who were suppressed in the palace... They all became the powerful assistants and key elites of King Yan's secret guards!
After receiving the secret report, Monk Daoyan immediately urgently sought an audience with King Zhu Di of Yan.
Now His Highness King Yan is very proud of himself. He wants people and food, and he also occupies the entire northern Xinjiang.
If he hadn't been worried that his soldiers would be too exhausted from consecutive battles, he would have even wanted to send his troops southward, first get rid of Li Jinglong's troops stationed in Dezhou, and then directly drink the Yangtze River and enter the imperial capital of Jinling.
The main reason is that Yan Jun currently has too great an advantage!
You can advance, attack, retreat or defend. The battle at Zhengcunba completely freed the Yan army from the passive situation of being beaten, and they could launch a counterattack against the Southern army at any time!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the 400,000 troops under Li Jinglong will be the last obstacle for King Yan Zhu Di to conquer the world!
As long as these 400,000 troops are defeated or even annihilated, the Yan army can march straight in and swallow up the entire Daming Mountains and Rivers!
Therefore, Zhu Di rarely took a few days off to spend time with his wife, daughter and family, waiting to celebrate the Spring Festival.
But Monk Daoyan brought two pieces of bad news, which can even be said to be bad news!
Zhu Di's expression changed after seeing this, and he hurriedly summoned the famous general Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng was originally guarding Yongping Mansion when he was suddenly summoned by His Highness King Yan and immediately realized something was wrong.
When he saw Zhu Di Daoyan, his heart sank to the bottom.
"Your Majesty, are you a member of the general's family..."
Zhu Di looked very ugly and handed him the secret report.
"General Gu Cheng, please forgive me!"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Chengru was struck by lightning. He hurriedly took the secret letter and read it. Then he felt dizzy and almost fainted.
"Zhu Yunwen!"
"You beast!"
"A beast that was cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!"
The secret letter clearly stated that because he, Gu Cheng, surrendered to the enemy before the battle and helped Yan Shizi Zhu Gaochi to defend the city of Peiping, the royal army returned without success. Zhu Yunwen was furious because of this, and directly killed Gu Cheng's entire family, killing both chickens and dogs. Keep!
"Behead everyone!"
"Leave no chickens or dogs behind!"
Gu Cheng was so sad that he collapsed on his back and cried loudly.
He gave birth to a total of seven sons in his life, two of whom died young, and the remaining five sons were all killed by Zhu Yunwen!
This also means that he is the last to succeed!
"My son!"
"My son!"
"I'm sorry for you as a father!"
"I'm sorry for you as a father!"
What kind of vengeful, narrow-minded and unscrupulous tyrant would do such a ruthless and unjust thing?
Even if Gu Cheng did surrender to the enemy before the battle, he was still the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, the founding veteran who followed Taizu Emperor Gao to conquer the world!
Zhu Yunwen actually didn't care about these old feelings at all, and directly killed Gu Cheng's entire family, cutting off his heirs and bloodline!
Gu Cheng cried bitterly, and blood even overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
When he chose to surrender to the Yan army, he had expected such an end.
But Gu Cheng still had a sense of luck in his heart. After all, he was the founding general of the country, and he was also a personal soldier in front of Emperor Taizu Gao. After all, he had made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty for their old Zhu family. The Jianwen court should not be interested in it. His family's actions were, at best, nothing more than surveillance and confinement.
But Gu Cheng never expected that Zhu Yunwen would be such a beast, that he would kill all his family members and all his relatives!
His narrow-mindedness is disgusting!
Seeing this, Zhu Di hurriedly leaned down to support him and whispered: "General Gu Cheng, you also have a grandson Gu Xingzu. The secret guards have rescued him and are escorting him to Peking with all their strength!"
This is the only thing the secret guard can do, that is, save a young and ignorant child.
After all, Gu Cheng's sons have too big a target and are basically impossible to save.
But children are different. They can just find a scapegoat at will, and the Jianwen court will not go into details.
Upon hearing this, Gu Cheng stopped crying and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
"My lord, what did you say? My miserable grandson is still alive?"
"Yes!" Zhu Di sighed, "Gu Xingzu is still alive. I have asked the secret guards to protect him and send him to Peiping, so General Gu Cheng can rest assured. As for the remaining heirs... I have no choice but to do it! "
When Gu Cheng heard this, he felt sad and happy at the same time. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Di to thank him.
"Gu Chengkou thanks the prince for his great kindness!"
"I will never repay you in this life. I am willing to follow the prince to the death, wipe out the Confederate Army, and level Jinling!"
These words can be said with gritted teeth. Gu Cheng has never hated someone so much!
Zhu Yunwen, you crazy beast, I will chop off your head!
Zhu Di nodded happily, and then comforted Gu Cheng, and then Gu Cheng left.
Looking at Gu Cheng's back, the corners of Monk Daoyan's mouth raised slightly.
"Your Majesty, this idiot Zhu Yunwen has done another stupid thing!"
"He thought that this move would scare the generals in the world and not dare to surrender to our army again. Little did he know that this move would only make all the generals in the world see his ugly face. On the contrary, he would alienate him Zhu Yunwen!"
Zhu Di was noncommittal upon hearing this and sighed quietly.
This is the scholar emperor that Su Yang always talked about!
How can someone so narrow-minded, so short-sighted and ignorant deserve to sit on that dragon throne?
"If it's about safety, just send someone to Xishan directly and tell Su Yang!"
"With Su Yang's wisdom, I guess it won't be a problem to persuade him to surrender!"
"This Ping Bao'er is a wise general!"
Dao Yan nodded when he heard this and admired Su Yang very much.
"With Su Sheng in Xishan, I will return safely."
"In this case, I would like to congratulate the prince on adding a general!"
"Hahaha..." Zhu Di smiled happily, "I have to thank the scholar emperor for this!"
…
Western Hills.
Su Yang summoned Ping An.
The two were playing chess in the small courtyard.
After Ping An came to Xishan, Su Yang never took care of him.
Whether Ping An went to watch the firearms workshop make firearms or went to observe the growth of potatoes, Su Yang never intervened and allowed Ping An to learn these secrets of Xishan.
He believed that as long as Ping An was a top warrior with extraordinary intelligence, as history said, he would make the right choice. Even if it was to benefit the people of Li, he would surrender to King Zhu Di of Yan and end it as soon as possible. This damn war.
It's just that Su Yang didn't expect that the scholar emperor Zhu Yunwen would be so stupid, so hopelessly stupid!
"General Ping An, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Ping An moved his hands, but chose to remain silent.
There is no doubt that all this in Xishan has had a great impact on Ping An. It is difficult for him to imagine how rich and prosperous the Ming Dynasty will be when food artifacts such as potatoes are promoted to the entire world, and what kind of peaceful age it will be. !
However, the premise is that King Zhu Di of Yan entered the imperial capital of Jinling, and then changed dynasties and became emperor.
In the end, Ping An still couldn't overcome the hurdle in his heart. He was deeply favored by Emperor Taizu Gao, and he was unwilling to disobey Emperor Gao Emperor's last edict and support the rebel King Zhu Di of Yan.
Su Yang sighed when he saw this, and took out the secret letter sent by Prince Yan's Mansion.
"General, please read this secret message!"
"It is indeed not a good thing for the people of the Ming Dynasty to continue to allow the scholar emperor Zhu Yunwen to sit on the dragon throne!"
As soon as these words came out, Ping An's face changed slightly. He took a look at the secret letter and was stunned for a moment.
"How... could he be so... stupid?"
"What does it mean to be a scholar emperor?" Su Yang laughed.
