Chapter 191: Killing for a way out
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen felt that he knew how to be an emperor, and he would definitely be able to kill people. The power of life and death is the power of the emperor to kill anyone.
Ding Xian has been trying to figure out Zhu Yunwen's thoughts. Doesn’t Zhu Yunwen himself know?
Many times, Zhu Yunwen didn't know it at the time. But it can still be guessed afterwards.
He was also secretly dissatisfied, but so what? He has to rely on the ministers below to get things done. You must endure, give in, coax and compromise. Now that I saw Ding Xian fearing under the long sword, I suddenly felt that the best way was to kill like this and make the ministers below fear me.
While Zhu Yunwen laughed, Ding Xian dodged everywhere.
But the palace is so big, and next to it are the palace guards. Although Zhu Yunwen was incompetent, he could still manage the palace well. In this case, where could Ding Xian escape to? After all, Zhu Yunwen was born as a prince and received a good royal education.
Arching, horse riding, and archery all require a certain foundation. Not to mention Ding Xian's age, he never thought that he would encounter such a situation.
Not long after, Zhu Yunwen injured his calf with a sword and fell to the ground. Then Zhu Yunwen thrust his long sword into Ding Xian's body and stabbed him with a sword.
Ding Xian struggled at first. It was just a massive internal hemorrhage, and countless blood surged up, blocking his throat. I only heard a gurgling sound, but I couldn't speak. After a while, Ding Xian became motionless.
The large area of blood on the ground was not flowing much.
Obviously, Ding Xian cannot die anymore.
Zhu Yunwen was covered in blood.
The bright yellow uniform, with a large area of blood stains on it, and even the splatters on his face, looked even more ferocious and terrifying.
Zhu Yunwen stood in a pool of blood. Suddenly his hand loosened and his sword fell to the ground. He laughed at first and then burst into tears. I don’t know why I laugh, and I don’t know why I cry.
Zhu Yunwen knew very well that Ding Xian was dead. In the city of Nanjing, there is really no hope of defending.
Zhu Yunwen said: "Fu Mao, what do you think I should do in the current situation?"
A military general came in from outside the palace, knelt in front and said, "I don't know. I only know, what does Your Majesty want me to do? I will do it?"
This person is none other than Fu Youde's third son, Fu Mao.
Although now, Zhu Yunwen no longer trusts anyone. But he believed in the Fu family. Without him, four members of the Fu family would have died at the hands of the Northern Army. Fu Youde, Fu Zhong, Fu Zheng, and when Feng Cheng seized power in Yunnan, he also killed one of Fu Youde's sons.
Fu Youde had a total of five sons, only two of whom were left.
Fu Mao sent his brother away. Letting him hide among the people is also to preserve his bloodline. We can't let their lineage die out. And he has been guarding the palace. I am not ready to leave now.
Although so many people from the Fu family died, the Northern Army also suffered a lot at the hands of Fu Youde.
In particular, Fu Youde and his son died in the Battle of Guangwu, but how many people died in the Northern Army in this battle, not to mention how many people were harmed by Fu Youde in Hejian, Hebei. Of course, each is his own master. But some things are already considered personal vendettas.
It is impossible for the Fu family to gain status in the Beijing court. Instead of staying down and being small. However, follow Zhu Yunwen to the end.
Nothing more than death in battle.
The Fu family still has this bloody spirit.
Zhu Yunwen said: "We can't stay in Nanjing. You take care of your generals and protect your sister. I'm going to find someone now."
Fu Mao first agreed, and then said, "I wonder who your Majesty is looking for?"
Zhu Yunwen said: "Wei Guogong Xu Huizu."
------
Xu Huizu didn't expect that his home would be so lively, with people coming and going. Finally, Zhu Yunwen also arrived here.
Xu Huizu didn't like to see Zhu Yunwen in his heart. However, the difference between emperor and ministers still exists in his heart. Zhu Yunwen is an emperor every day, and he is a minister every day. The etiquette cannot be abolished.
After Xu Huizu and Zhu Yunwen saluted.
Zhu Yunwen said: "I am not coming to you this time, but to King Zhongshan. When Taizu was here, he said that when the world is in trouble in the future, only King Zhongshan can be relied upon. Now, I have no choice. , I just want to find a way to survive before the spiritual throne of King Zhongshan."
Xu Huizu sighed and said, "Your Majesty. If I had known this, why bother in the first place?"
A gentleman can deceive others.
Frustration is the most tempering thing. Zhu Yunwen has been very effective despite being beaten in the past few years. One sentence pinched Xu Huizu's vital point.
Xu Huizu is not without ability. It was Xu Da who commented that Xu Huizu was too square. I was confused by the Confucian idea of monarchs and ministers. In fact, the way of ruler and minister is only for bureaucrats. The relationship between the top nobles and the emperor can never be judged by simple loyalty.
Otherwise, a family's life will be lost.
Xu Huizu had a lot of resentment towards Zhu Yunwen, so he opened the door to Beijing in some matters. But at the same time, he really didn't want to let the Duke of Wei bear the name of second minister, so he would rather not seek immediate benefits. Also need some false names.
Xu Huizu is a very principled person.
Zhu Yunwen said: "I know that King Zhongshan didn't think much of me from the beginning, right? He felt that there was a problem with my position from the beginning, and there is no edict to pass the throne. And what is the future prime minister trained by Emperor Taizu? Xi, are you not on my side?"
"But, I swear to God now, I really didn't do any tricks in this. Even if there were any tricks, it was done by the elders."
Zhu Yunwen also did a lot of research on this matter.
It's just that many things cannot be investigated by his mother, Lu.
He even put suspicion on Lu.
Xu Huizu said: "Your Majesty, it is meaningless for you to say this. Your Majesty came to me, what is the matter?"
Zhu Yunwen said: "I made it very clear, I want a way out, a way out of the Ming Dynasty."
Xu Huizu suddenly fell silent.
Faced with Zhu Yunwen's situation, he didn't know what to do.
Send Zhu Yunwen away. The Xu family can definitely do it. Otherwise, this would not be the Duke of Wei's mansion. For a long time, the Xu family was the second best family in the world, just below the Zhu family. Not to mention, the Xu family now has a tacit understanding with Beijing.
This kind of tacit understanding exists, and Beijing does not do much inspection on some of the Xu family's fleet.
It only takes a month to go to Nanyang from Nanjing. When we arrived in Nanyang, although there were various Nanyang vassal kings, the rule of Nanyang vassal kings over Nanyang was not the same as the Ming Dynasty's rule over the local area.
It's easy to hide.
It’s just that Xu Huizu needs to understand the consequences of doing this.
If he does this, he will definitely be put into another category by Beijing, especially Zhu Xiongying.
Xu Huizu was naturally unwilling.
Xu Huizu's silence was also a kind of rejection.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere reached freezing point. Zhu Yunwen sighed and said, "In that case, please ask Duke Wei of Wei to find a place in the palace, and I will live here. When the city of Nanjing is destroyed in the future, Duke Wei of Wei can also give me to my eldest brother to find a place for Duke Wei." I owe the future to King Zhongshan."
Xu Huizu heard this and said, "Your Majesty, why are you doing this?"
For others, it’s a credit. But for the Duke of Wei, they don't want such credit. The emperor is always the emperor. Even if you are an emperor at the end of his life, it is best not to move.
There will be no happy ending for those who kill the emperor.
The Sima family killed the emperor in the street. It's so majestic and domineering, but what's the result? More recently, the man who sank Hanlin'er into the river was liquidated by Zhu Yuanzhang very early.
Zhu Yuanzhang said to the outside world that this was his original intention. At this point, it is difficult to make it clear. Some people think that even if Han Lin'er is alive, he cannot shake Zhu Yuanzhang's status. Some people think that it is just killing people.
Just silence.
The lineage of Wei Guogong has such a close relationship with the royal family. The relationship between Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang was that the emperor had no choice but to defect to the Duke of Wei, who captured it and gave it to Beijing. From now on, the reputation of the Duke of Wei will not be much better.
What's more, can it really get praise from Beijing?
