The cold wind blew the remaining snow, and the water that had just been splashed became frosty.
A middle-aged man with disheveled hair and wearing single clothes ran through the streets shouting, "It's so hot that I'm going to die."
Zhu Di grabbed a live fish from the stall, put it into his mouth, took a bite, shouted happily, ran to the bridge, jumped directly into the frozen river, started flopping, and kept drinking the river water. Shouted "comfortable".
When the officials and citizens of Peiping saw this, they were stunned and in disbelief.
Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui and others finally ordered people to fish Zhu Di out of the river. However, Zhu Di acted as if he didn't know the three of them and punched them randomly. He kicked Zhu Gaoxu into the river and was still laughing by the river. Laugh, and then run along the river, all wet...
Many people have seen it.
Whether you believe it or not, Zhu Di is crazy by the river.
The once majestic and invincible commander has now become a lamentable lunatic.
Pingan took off his fur coat, strode into the back hall of the Dusi Yamen, sat by the fire, warmed his hands, and said to Sheng Yong and Zhang Bing: "The people in the Yan Palace said that Zhu Di fainted after reading the confessions of Ni Qiong and others. , wake up again, and go crazy."
"Crazy, haha, I don't believe it."
Sheng Yong replied decisively.
Zhang Bing was a little unsure and said: "In such a cold winter, when you can't survive in single clothes, King Yan actually thinks it's extremely hot and repeatedly jumps into the glacier to cool down. Isn't this crazy? What is it?"
Sheng Yong looked at the fire, roared, and said: "General Baizhan, how could you be so frightened that you were so mad at the slightest accusation? Zhang Buzheng, Sheng Yong asked disrespectfully, if the emperor ordered to kill your head, what would you do? Going crazy?"
Zhang Bing thought about it carefully and finally shook his head and said: "No, but there is no guarantee..."
Ping An squinted his eyes, rubbed his hands, and said, "There is no guarantee that King Yan is just pretending to be crazy."
Zhang Bing looked at Ping An in surprise and asked, "How can you be so sure?"
Ping An chuckled, opened his clothes, took out a secret letter from his closest clothes, handed it to Zhang Bing, and said solemnly: "I Ping An do not believe in God, and I have never believed that anyone can predict the future. But now, I believe it. Our emperor, with his genius’ wisdom, has seen through today’s situation!”
"What?"
Zhang Bing was puzzled, opened the envelope, took out the letter, took a look at it, stood up in surprise, looked at Ping An with trembling hands, and asked: "This, this can't be true, can it?!"
"Let me see."
Sheng Yong quickly grabbed the letter, and after reading it, he stared at Ping An with wide eyes and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Ping An stared at the orange fire, the charcoal inside had burned a little white.
More than a month ago, people from the Ming Security Bureau arrived in Peiping, handed this secret letter to Ping An, and informed Zhu Yunwen of his intentions.
Ping An followed Zhu Yunwen's arrangements and created opportunities for people from the Ming Security Bureau to enter the Yanwang Sanwei Camp, creating conditions for the Ming Security Bureau to investigate intelligence and secretly instigate rebellion.
Ni Qiong and others betrayed the Three Guards, which was the credit of the Ming Security Bureau.
This secret letter clearly recorded Zhu Yunwen's judgment on the direction of the situation in Peking. There was one sentence in it:
[Under the instigation of rebellion, the conspiracy was exposed. In order to avoid disaster, King Yan would go crazy to gain sympathy and wait for the opportunity...]
The date for signing the letter is October 16th!
The current time is November 21st!
In other words, as early as more than a month ago, Zhu Yunwen, who was far away in the capital, had an insight into the situation in Peiping and predicted Zhu Di's every move!
What a terrifying ability this is!
Zhang Bing and Sheng Yong can't believe all this. This is simply more shocking than Zhu Di going crazy!
In particular, the words used by Zhu Yunwen were "must go crazy" instead of "may go crazy", which shows that Zhu Yunwen was fully confident.
When Ping An first saw these words, he disapproved and smiled:
How could Zhu Di, who had killed countless people, become crazy?
What the emperor said is too exaggerated and unrealistic.
But now, Ping An, like Zhang Bing and Sheng Yong, is unable to extricate himself from the shock.
Daning Mansion, Prince Ning's Mansion.
Zhu Quan was reading in the study. In the winter, there was not much military affairs.
The Mongolian Tatars are also human beings, and they also know the cold and will not come to cause trouble at this time. I guess they should be comfortable in the yurt at this time.
Besides, Mongolia now does not dare to spy on the Ming Dynasty on a large scale.
In the 21st year of Hongwu (1388), Lan Yu led an army of 150,000 people to march north from Daning to Qingzhou, and basically destroyed the Northern Yuan regime in Yuerhai.
The political enemies of Ming Dynasty disappeared ten years ago.
Today's Mongolian power is no longer the power of a certain regime, but a dispersed and independent force. It does not have enough courage and strength to invade the Ming Dynasty border in a large scale.
The commander of the capital, Fang Kuan, was patrolling the city. Suddenly he saw the reported cavalry galloping into the city. He quickly ordered someone to stop them. After asking, his face changed drastically, and he rushed to Prince Ning's Mansion with the urgent report.
"Your Majesty, please report urgently!"
Fang Kuan hurriedly opened the door, and the cold wind swept into the room.
Zhu Quan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Where is the urgent report?"
"It's an urgent report from Beiping Mansion."
Fang Kuan's lips are a little chapped.
Zhu Quan was a little surprised. He looked up at Fang Kuan, took the urgent report, and said, "How come the urgent report from Beiping Mansion was sent to Daning Mansion?"
"Your Majesty, look at the sign above the emergency report."
Fang Kuan reminded.
Zhu Quan lowered his head and looked carefully. Above the emergency report, there was a pattern of a sickle and a hammer carved on it. He couldn't help but gasp. Zhu Quan knew this strange symbol. It was the unique symbol of the Ming Dynasty Security Bureau. Hearing that It was decided by Zhu Yunwen himself.
How could the Ming Security Bureau send an emergency report to itself?
Zhu Quan quickly opened the emergency report, unfolded it and read the contents. He stood up instantly and asked quickly: "Where is the post envoy? Let him come here immediately!"
Fang Kuan called out to the door, and a messenger whose lips turned blue from the cold walked into the room, clasped his fists and said, "I've seen Prince Ning."
Zhu Quan lowered his head to read the letter and asked the postman in disbelief: "Fourth brother, is King Yan crazy?"
"The citizens of Peiping said so, and there are countless witnesses, but there is no conclusion as to whether they are really crazy."
The messenger replied cautiously.
Zhu Quan remembered the "confrontation in the palace" with Zhu Yunwen before leaving the capital. Zhu Yunwen had clearly deduced the situation in Peiping. Now it seems that everything he deduced has happened.
King Yan went crazy.
It's fake madness.
Zhu Quan knew that Zhu Yunwen knew that Zhu Di was pretending to be crazy, and also predicted that he would pretend to be crazy, but Zhu Di didn't know all this and still worked hard to act crazy.
Zhu Quan felt deep sadness for Zhu Di from deep in his heart, and was extremely shocked by Zhu Yunwen's genius prediction.
It seems that Zhu Yunwen wrote the script a long time ago, selected the characters, set up the stage, and then shouted "Zhu Di, please start your performance." Zhu Di was unaware and followed the arrangement of the script step by step. , and finally came to the most exciting scene in the script:
Acting crazy and acting stupid.
Zhu Quan could imagine that Zhu Yunwen must be laughing happily in the capital at this time, while Zhu Di could only think that he had succeeded and put in a performance that was completely impossible to achieve his goal.
"The Emperor is right!"
Zhu Quan slumped in his chair. The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped even lower, making Zhu Quan tremble uncontrollably.
Zhu Yunwen foresaw everything, but did not act. Instead, he kept giving opportunities to his fourth brother!
Zhu Quan knew that according to Zhu Yunwen's next prediction, Zhu Di would wait for the opportunity, send people or come to Daning in person, and finally seize his three Duoyan guards, fight back in Beiping, and use Beiping as a stronghold to fight against the imperial court!
"No, I will not allow this to happen!"
Zhu Quan knew that if things continued to evolve, he would definitely die.
There is no chance of winning against an emperor who has a huge world and a strong ability to predict.
What's more, Zhu Quan is very clear about the strategy of the new army. Now almost all the guards in the capital and Peiping have returned to the imperial court. Once there is chaos in Peiping, these soldiers will fight to the death.
The soldiers armed with the new army strategy are an army that knows death but is not afraid of death. It is an army with a will as strong as the Great Wall. It is an army that serves the country with death and does not regret it!
Zhu Quan has no confidence in winning such an army, even if he has the Ming Dynasty's strongest cavalry, Duoyan Sanwei!
"Let Mao Zheng and Yunzhong come to see this king!"
Zhu Quan thought for a long time and said to Fang Kuan.
Mao Zheng and He Yunzhong soon entered Prince Ning's Mansion. After Zhu Quan sealed the envelope and handed it to Mao Zheng, he said to the two of them: "You two were once the old subordinates of King Yan, and now the king needs you. Set off, hand this letter to King Yan in person as quickly as possible, and then return to Daning Mansion immediately. Don’t say any unnecessary words, and don’t ask any unnecessary questions! Do you understand?”
He Yunzhong looked at Mao Zheng. Although Mao Zheng didn't understand what was going on, he still solemnly agreed. Seeing that Zhu Quan had no other instructions, he hid the letter and hurriedly left Daning Mansion and headed straight for Songting Pass.
Zhu Quan did not want to see the fight between his roommates.
November 27th, Jinshen Hall, the Imperial Palace of the Capital.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Dao Yan, who had his eyes closed and was deep in thought, constantly moving the beads. He took out an urgent letter of eight hundred miles and said, "This urgent letter comes from Beiping Mansion."
Dao Yan opened his eyes, stared at Zhu Yunwen, and asked, "Is it time?"
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, took out the sealed letter from the wooden box on the desk, and said, "Master's prediction is with me and has not yet been unsealed."
Dao Yan took out a complete letter from his sleeve and said softly: "The emperor's prediction is intact."
Zhu Yunwen used a knife to pick up the fire paint, took out Dao Yan's prediction, and asked: "If master's prediction is wrong, please stay with me and contribute to the Ming Dynasty."
Dao Yan's skinny cheeks trembled slightly, he tore open the envelope, took out the letter, and said solemnly: "If the emperor's prediction is wrong, please follow your promise and allow me to return to Qingshou Temple in Peking."
"Haha, it's a deal."
Zhu Yunwen unfolded Daoyan's prediction, which contained only nine words:
Accept the policies of the new army and serve the country loyally.
Dao Yan unfolded Zhu Yunwen's prediction, looked down, his pupils suddenly dilated, and saw eight words written on it:
Pretend to be crazy to avoid disaster and wait for the opportunity.
Zhu Yunwen pointed to the emergency report from Beiping Mansion, laughed and left Jinshen Palace.
Dao Yan opened the emergency report uneasily, his hands trembling a little, and he looked at the door with a frightened face. There, standing proudly in the cold wind, was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty - Zhu Yunwen!
