Outside Datong Pass, Shajing.
The war horses neighed and the swords were sharpened.
Duan Yun waved the Mo Dao, and with a deep shout, the blade fell, and the scarecrow split into two instantly.
Liu Qixia had five water bags hanging on her waist. The water bags were shaking when she walked.
Duan Yun put away his knife, looked at Liu Qixia who was walking unnaturally, frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
Liu Qixia patted the water bag and said with a smile: "What else can I do? Of course I am preparing to cross the vast sea. Damn, Benya Shili and Arutai were like frightened rabbits. They ran away after hearing the news. The scouts and The scouts went deep into the vast sea to investigate, and it is certain that they ran north."
Duan Yun snorted: "Arutai and Benya Shili want to take advantage, not to die. We have a powerful army, and the King of Yan, Zhu Di, is the commander-in-chief, leading an army of 600,000. Even a fool knows this. Escaped. Our movements were really slow."
"Six hundred thousand?"
Liu Qixia rolled her eyes at Duan Yun. With this kind of external pressure, there was no need to tell his own people about the number they touted. It was obviously only 200,000.
However, King Yan's movements were indeed slow. From leaving the customs to Datong, he could have marched quickly to get closer, but he slowed down during the march and stayed for one day, so that the main Tatar force could retreat calmly.
"It's not good, it's not good."
Qianhu Zhao Shenming ran over in a hurry, his face pale.
Duan Yun and Liu Qixia looked at it and asked at the same time: "What's the matter?"
Zhao Shenming swallowed, the corners of his mouth trembled twice, and said tremblingly: "There was news just now, saying, saying--"
"say what?!"
"It was said that King Dai rebelled, entered the palace, and was executed. However, the Emperor was killed by King Dai's remnants of his party, and his life and death are unknown. Even the prince has disappeared."
"What?"
Duan Yun and Liu Qixia felt cold all over. They pushed Zhao Shenming away and ran towards the military tent.
Inside the big tent.
Zhu Di sat behind the desk with a gloomy expression, holding a piece of information in his hand, and his deep eyes revealed a depressing murderous intention.
Xu Huizu, Ping An, Tie Xuan, Yang Pu, Xuan Qingshu, Tan Yuan and others looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Xue Lu broke into the tent and shouted loudly: "Commander, please order me to punish those who spread rumors! Nothing will happen to Emperor Jianwen. How can someone as young as King Xiao harm the Emperor? Spread rumors like this. Those who disturb the morale of the army have ulterior motives and should be killed!"
"Are you going to kill me?"
Lu Yi stood up, looking sad.
Xue Lu looked at Lu Yi in surprise and gritted his teeth: "Did you bring this rumor?"
Lu Yi is the top officer of the Ming Dynasty's Logistics Bureau. Naturally, he came here for logistics matters. The Tatars ran away. What was blocking the Ming army's advance was not the Tatars, but the vast sea of thousands or even thousands of miles!
If you want to cross the vast sea, you can't even think about it without the full support of the Logistics Bureau.
Lu Yi looked at Xue Lu with a gloomy face. Seeing Duan Yun and Liu Qixia also coming in, he said solemnly: "The news from Jinling is definitely unmistakable. The emperor was poisoned and unconscious, and the prince is missing and his life and death are not known. This is a fact!"
Tie Xuan looked at Lu Yi and said in a deep voice: "Why is this kind of thing spread to the military? Shouldn't it be kept secret? It is so disturbing to people, Lu Yi, you can't escape the involvement!"
Lu Yi lamented: "I didn't spread this, but it was indeed brought by my people. Such shocking news cannot be concealed even if we want to. It won't be long before news comes from Datong. It cannot be blocked." There are a lot of discussions all over the pass, and people are praying for the emperor and the prince. Tell me, who can stop the crowd?"
"If we don't say anything today, if after we enter the vast sea, logistics brings such news, and people's hearts are unstable, what will do we have to support it? Now we can only move forward after dealing with this storm! Only in this way, Only with a strong military spirit can we stabilize our morale!"
Xuan Qingshu stood up and said: "What Shilang Lu said is not unreasonable. If the news inside the pass has already spread, this kind of news cannot be blocked. It is better to spread it early than after entering the vast sea. The morale of the military needs to be stable, and we need to take it seriously. "
Tie Xuan was worried.
This army is about to prepare to go out to the vast sea to find the main Tatar force for a decisive battle. It is really disturbing that such a problem has occurred in the rear area.
"Is this true or false?"
Yang Fenghuo asked.
Everyone looked at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi was filled with bitterness: "Everyone, this is about the emperor and the prince, who dares to talk nonsense? Shortly after the rebellion of the king, one of the emperor and the prince was poisoned and passed out, and the other disappeared. Obviously there was something wrong within the court. Although the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army The Governor's Office did not send a formal document to confirm it, but the news of Jinling had already spread like crazy, and it reached Peiping in just a few days."
"For this matter, Peiping even stopped work for three days to pray for the emperor and the prince. I, Lu Yi, was promoted by the emperor and entrusted with the important task of becoming the minister of the Logistics Bureau. Don't I wish the emperor long live? Don't I want the emperor to have a dragon body? Jin An? Various reports have confirmed that this news is true."
Yang Fenghuo shook his head, looked at Lu Yi, and said seriously: "Master Lu, what I want to ask is not whether the news is true or false, but whether this matter is true or false."
Lu Yi was stunned and immediately understood.
The truth of news and the truth of facts are two different things.
Just because the news is true, doesn't mean the facts are true.
Who is Zhu Yunwen, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? He has been in control of the Ming Dynasty for eleven years and has survived many crises. How could he fall to such a ridiculous trick as poisoning?
Zhu Di stared at Yang Fenghuo, and his heart suddenly sank.
The emperor is poisoned and the prince disappears. If something happens to Emperor Jianwen, who will inherit the throne?
The young second prince?
He can indeed inherit the throne, but at his age he cannot control the overall situation, and there is no chance that he will become a puppet.
So the question is, who can play the puppet?
Chu King Zhu Zhen?
Who is he, the sixth?
No matter how many times I put him, I can't find him.
Only I, Zhu Di, only I, Zhu Di, have this qualification! If he works well, he might be able to replace Zhu Wenyuan and become the ninth-five-year-old!
Didn't Daoyan say that he had the status of an emperor?
Could it be said that it should be at this time?
Zhu Di bit the tip of his tongue, and the severe pain woke him up.
Yang Fenghuo's words reminded himself that this damn pit was a big pit for Zhu Yunwen, a death pit dug by his nephew! It’s hard to say that this pit was prepared for you!
Think about it from another perspective, if something happens to Emperor Jianwen's family, who is most likely to take charge of the overall situation?
Looking around, there was no one.
Only my own ears.
Zhu Di thought for a while, this was not a trap for himself, but for whom? I feel like my nephew is acting to test whether he really intends to rebel!
If after hearing this news, he sends his troops south to stabilize the situation in the government, he will probably be lying in a pit when he reaches Jinling...

During the palace coup in the previous article, the East Palace officials Jin Youzi and Yang Pu were written, and they were changed to Jin Youzi and Huang Huai. Yang Pu went out with the army, there were too many characters, it was confusing haha...
