Zhu Yunwen sent an envoy to see King Yan and proposed that as long as King Yan stopped fighting and stopped fighting, he would pardon King Yan and the soldiers of Yan for all crimes, and still restore Zhu Di as the prince.
Zhu Di sneered when he heard this, this was just the emperor's nephew's delaying tactic, how could he not know.
Zhu Di said sharply: "The minister has issued an edict to the world since he started the army, not to oppose the emperor, but to the side of the Qing monarch.
In the three years of Jingjing, the people have been displaced, the places have been eroded, the soldiers have been killed and injured, and the country has weakened.
The envoy changed color and said, "Your Highness" Zhu Di brushed his sleeves and said: "Angel no need to say more, Your Majesty wants the ministers to stop the war, you can, but you have to promise the ministers a condition, as long as Your Majesty will bewitch the monarch's heart, divide the royal family, in the name of cutting the domain, force the prince to death, imprison the clan, and provoke the culprits of this big war Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai will be killed in public, and the ministers will immediately suspend the army, and ride alone with their three sons to return to His Majesty, but His Majesty's order is from" The envoy had no choice but to return to Beijing, Zhu Yunwen was just to delay the army, and used this time to transfer troops and horses, collect grain and grass, where is the real intention to strike the war and seek peace.
Besides, Zhu Di put forward such harsh conditions as killing Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai and others, even if he had the intention to seek peace, he would never agree.
Because of the sudden change in the weather, Zhu Yunwen suffered from a cold and was sick, and after receiving the report from the envoy, he reluctantly dragged his sick body to the front hall.
Zhu Yunwen summoned Fang Xiaoru, Ru Chang, Li Jinglong and other civil and military ministers to the Zhengxin Palace, and just mentioned that King Yan refused to negotiate peace, Fang Xiaoru spoke first.
Now that Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai are not in Beijing, Fang Xiaoru's forces are a little thin, he is afraid that Li Jinglong and Ru Chang will talk about it again and raise any peace, so he preemptively said: "Your Majesty, in the past two months, we have raised some grain and grass, which can make up for the loss of Pei County, and we have transferred 100,000 strong soldiers from all over the south to supplement the front army."
The minister thought that Yan Shun's refusal of the saint's kindness was proving his wolf ambition, and my heavenly soldiers were even more famous.
Your Majesty can order Sheng Yong, Wu Jie, and Ping'an to wave their troops to attack Beiping again, and you can also transfer generals from Liaodong to Shanhaiguan" Li Jinglong rolled his eyes and said: "If Tatar and Warat take advantage of the internal transfer of my Liaodong soldiers and take the opportunity to seize my Liaodong Capital, what can I do?"
Fang Xiaoru said: "Tatar and Warat are busy with the civil war, and they have no time to take care of anything else, so they may not have the heart to take Liaodong."
Moreover, the trend of Yan rebellion is getting bigger and bigger, this is the trouble of the henchmen, even if you give up Liaodong, you must first eradicate Yan Rebellion, as long as you are in addition to Yan Rebellion, even if Liaodong is occupied, my mighty division of the Heavenly Dynasty, can you not take it back As long as the Liaodong soldiers and horses are transferred internally, Yan Rebellion will be eager to return to the army to defend the nest, and our army will pursue after tiptoeing, and it will be successful in one fell swoop. ” Zhu Yunwen hesitated for a moment, then looked at others, Xu Huizu quietly came out of the class and said: "What Mr.
Xizhi said was seconded by Lao Cheng's ministers who held the country."
Wei Guogong's statement, there are many generals in the army have expressed their support, Jing Qing, Lian Zining and others are not familiar with military affairs, but they have seen too many Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and a group of people do bad things with good intentions, the more they help, the busier they are, they didn't dare to express their position, but now seeing the support of many generals in the army, it is expected that even if this strategy is not a clever calculation, it should not be too stupid idea, so they also expressed their support.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaoru couldn't help but secretly become proud, although Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai are no longer in Beijing, but with the full support of this future in-law, he can still be the same Jiuding, affecting the general trend of the imperial court.
In fact, this was the method he discussed with Xu Huizu, and after Xu Huizu analyzed the situation outside the Guanxi in detail, he concluded that the Tatars and Warats, which had just been divided, were busy fighting for power, and it was impossible to fight Liaodong for the time being.
The land outside the pass is already vast, and these herdsmen leaders care about ready-made wealth, rather than seizing an empty field and transferring Liaodong troops into the pass, which seems to be risky, but in fact it is not very likely that the Mongols will take advantage of it.
Zhu Yunwen saw that most people agreed with Fang Xiaoru's proposition, and couldn't help but be happy, and hurriedly asked people to draw up a decree, so according to Fang Xiaoru's intentions, he ordered Sheng Yong, Ping'an and others to march into Beiping, and at the same time ordered Liaodong soldiers and horses to enter the customs to respond.
When everyone retreated, Fang Xiaoru stood still, and when everyone left, he came to the emperor and whispered: "Your Majesty, the minister still has a plan to help His Majesty deal with King Yan." ” Zhu Yunwen was surprised and surprised, and hurriedly said, "Mr.
Xizhi, come quickly." ” Fang Xiaoru said something in a low voice to Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen nodded frequently when he heard it, and said happily: "Mr. has unparalleled wisdom, I will do it according to Mr.'
s plan" As he was talking, Mu En came in with the imperial doctor, and when he saw Fang Xiaoru beaming and striding out, Mu En couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Since Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai were demoted and exiled, he hadn't seen Dr.
Fang like this for a long time, just because he had just come back from the Tai Hospital, but he didn't know what happy things Fang Xiaoru had.
After Sheng Yong received Zhu Yunwen's holy decree, he immediately deployed a counterattack, he first transferred the Datong guard general Fang Zhao to wave his army into the Bauhinia Pass, and attacked the Baoding counties that had been returned to the king of Yan; ordered Wu Jie to help Fang Zhao with grain and grass; He also ordered the generals of Liaodong to wave their troops into the pass and attack Yongping; He personally led the army out of Texas, garrisoned in Yixian Xishui Village, this place is in the middle of ten thousand mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Yan Wang relied on the iron cavalry to use the usual field power can not be played; In the end, he let Ping'an lead the rangers to maneuver outside, or attack Beiping, or attack King Yan, and act cheaply.
For a while, the war situation in the north was cloudy, and it became tense again.
Beiping City was attacked by the imperial army again, the Liaodong soldiers and horses who entered the pass and the army of Ping An took turns to attack Beiping, the battle was fierce, although it was not as terrifying as the last time Li Jinglong's siege on all sides, but they knew that the defenders would definitely not give up Beiping City, so there was no need to besiege the city on all sides, and each time it was just a heavy attack on a heavy army, and its tragedy was not a little less than the last Beiping defense battle.
In the past three years, King Yan and his second son Zhu Gaoxu led the troops outside, Jin Ge Iron Horse, a hundred battles on the battlefield, Zhu Xiaopang as the prince of the town to guard Beiping, although he has not been on the battlefield, it is more difficult than on the battlefield, he guarded in Beiping City, to requisition grain and grass, recruit soldiers, receive and conquer the prefectures and counties, manage local officials, collect taxes to pay the army, receive and sort out the weapons transported back from the front, and so on, so that the King of Yan can lead the troops outside without worries.
In the past three years, so many things have pressed on his shoulders, and he has worked hard all night, so that Zhu Xiaopang's whole person has matured, his surname is calm, he is sophisticated, and he is shrewd, and the two slight mustaches on his lips make his whole person reveal a bit of majesty, the only thing that has not changed is his kindness to his family and his obesity that he can't lose no matter how tired he is on a diet.
Early that morning, the southern army launched another charge against Beiping, and Zhu Gaochi personally guarded the head of the city, which was riddled with holes, and encouraged and comforted the soldiers everywhere, and waited until noon when the southern army retreated, and he was able to catch his breath.
Zhu Gaochi returned to the city gate, wiped the sweat on his face, picked up a big tea bowl and was just about to drink it, when someone came to report: "Report to the world, some people in the city wave their flags and ask to see" Zhu Gaochi was stunned and asked, "How many people have come to the battle?"
The soldier said, "There is only one person."
Zhu Gaochi thought for a moment and ordered: "Put down the hanging basket and pull him up, I want to see what tricks Ping'an wants to play." ” After a while, a messenger from the Southern Army was pulled up to the city and brought into the tower.
Zhu Gaochi sat on the head and said coldly: "What did Ping An send you to do?"
The man laughed, and calmly arched his hand: "Shizi, the minister is not a subordinate of General Ping'an. ” Zhu Gaochi frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "You are from Liaodong" The man smiled mysteriously and said, "Not really."
Xiaochen is from Jinling. ” "Jinling" Zhu Gaochi said suspiciously: "You are an envoy sent by the emperor."
The man took out a secret letter sealed in yellow silk from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Shizi, this is written by His Majesty to the Shizi, Your Majesty knows that the Shizi's insistence on Beiping and the imperial court is based on his father's order, and he has to do so."
However, since ancient times, when loyalty and filial piety can not be both, when filial piety and loyalty, His Majesty said that as long as the prince returns to the court and dedicates Beiping, the emperor will crown the prince as the king of Yan and guard it for generations."
"Say no more" Zhu Gaochi was furious, Huo Di stood up and said, "Someone, tie him up and put him in prison."
A military general standing on the side looked at everything that happened in front of him, his eyes rolled, and a trace of cunning brilliance flashed away.
At first glance, this man looked like a military general, but if he looked closely, he was covered with an indigo eunuch robe under the leather armor.
Several big eunuchs in the palace of King Yan, Zheng He, Li Xing, Hou Xian, Gou'er, Wang An, probably because of the prosperity of martial arts in the north, they all have good martial arts, this Huang Yan is also one of them, the prince has personally guarded the city, and he naturally has to serve around.
Two days ago, because the southern army attacked the city fiercely, Huang Yan was afraid of the battle and did not dare to approach, was discovered by Zhu Gaochi, who supervised the war, and was beaten by military law, Huang Yan held a grudge, at this time he saw that the imperial court sent someone to recruit the prince, and he was on the count, and at night, Huang Yan quietly called a confidant little eunuch, so and so ordered, and then quietly put him down the city.
The southern army was also afraid that the Yan army in the city would attack the camp at night, so the camp was twenty miles away from Beiping City, and there was no enemy army under the city.
Besides, Zhu Gaochi took the envoy of the imperial court to see his mother.

Concubine Xu didn't take this matter to heart, Zhu Yunwen's handwritten letter was thrown aside by her without looking at it, and she discussed with her son about King Yan's upcoming return to the division, and the winter clothes and grain and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops this winter.
The next morning, the monk Daoyan raised a sum of gold and silver property, and went to the palace of the king of Yan to hand it over to the princess, Princess Xu remembered what happened yesterday, and said to Daoyan by the way, Daoyan couldn't help laughing and said: "The emperor is really poor, he actually wants the prince to betray His Royal Highness, not to mention that the son of the king of Zhou was instigated by him to sue his father, what will happen to him, and he will use the benevolence and filial piety of the son."
At this, his face suddenly changed.
Concubine Xu was so alert that she immediately noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
Dao Yan said slowly: "The poor monk is worried that the emperor's surrender is fake, and the discord is true. ” Concubine Xu was stunned for a moment and said: "The separation between Gao Chi and His Royal Highness is father and son, and a letter can be used."
Speaking of this, her face also became ugly, how could the second son of King Zhou not be his own flesh and blood and also his son-in-law.
Since ancient times, there are few things to kill each other for power, King Yan is now leading the troops outside, if Beiping is lost, he will immediately lose his foundation, the news spreads, and in an instant his army will have to disperse seven or eight out of ten, there is no grain and grass, no foundation, and the fall is just an instant, if King Yan hears the news, he will not worry Concubine Xu stood up, her face pale, and said: "Oh, I was careless, master, what should I do now?"
Dao Yan asked: "The emperor's letter, have you opened it and read it?"
Concubine Xu said: "No, Gao Chi doesn't care about it at all, and I don't care about it." ” She hurriedly walked over, rummaged through the table, found the unopened letter and handed it to Dao Yan, Dao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "So it's okay, immediately send someone to bring this letter, and then bring the envoy of the imperial court to see His Highness, everything is at His Highness's disposal, so that His Highness's doubts can be dispelled."
Otherwise, His Royal Highness will inevitably suspect that the prince has hesitated, and it will be very unfavorable to the prince in the future."
Concubine Xu also knew that the situation was serious, so she hurriedly called someone to mention the messenger who was in prison, called a few cronies, and gave Yin Yin's advice.
Zhu Gaochi came back from the city, listened to his mother's explanation of the power, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and stayed until half of the night that night, Zhu Gaochi opened the city gate, let these generals out of the city, and quickly went to find King Yan.
As soon as the little eunuch sent by Huang Yan was out of the range of Beiping, he immediately bought a horse with money, and rushed to the place where King Yan was stationed day and night.
After thinking about it, he couldn't rest assured, so King Yan called his second son Zhu Gaoxu and asked him if he had any dealings with the emperor when he was in Beijing.
Zhu Gaoxu was a little inexplicable at first, and it wasn't until his father took out Huang Yan's secret letter that he understood what had happened, and a trace of greed couldn't help but arise.
He asked himself that he had made great contributions to his father's birth and death, but he was not the eldest son, whether it was the throne of King Yan or once his father sat on the throne of the country, he did not have his share, Zhu Gaoxu usually remembered it, and he also felt very angry.
The eldest brother is fat and weak, and may not live long, but he already has a son, and there is this grandson and grandson, the throne or throne, it still will not belong to him, if he can have a trace of evil thoughts lingering in his heart, he suddenly remembered that the eldest brother has always been benevolent, and he and the third child are extremely close, since childhood, the two of them have made trouble, the eldest brother has tried his best to tolerate and protect them, and now he can determine the life and death of the eldest brother with a word, and he can't help but be a little unbearable.
Zhu Di saw that his face was cloudy, and he couldn't help but shout: "Why didn't you hesitate to answer for your father's words?"
"Ahh Zhu Gaoxu was taken aback, the heart of power finally prevailed over the affection of flesh and blood, he lowered his heart, knelt down and said: "Father, the son hesitated, because he didn't want to talk about the rights and wrongs of the eldest brother, after all, he was the child's eldest brother, but it was a matter of the safety of the father and the hundreds of thousands of troops, and the son did not dare to hide it, so" Zhu Di's eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice: "Just talk about it, your father has his own measure" "Yes" Zhu Gaoxu made a look of reluctance, and reluctantly said: "When the three brothers of Erchen arrived in Beijing, the emperor set up a feast and hospitality, and he was very kind to the eldest brother.
In the future, he often summoned his eldest brother to the palace to talk.
The eldest brother is erudite and talented, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not like a child like a martial artist, so he is very loved by the emperor, and the emperor's close ministers, such as Huaiqing and other royal relatives, also often drink and eat with the eldest brother, and the emperor and the eldest brother are indeed very close."
When Zhu Di heard this, his face suddenly sank.
Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said: "However, the child believes that the eldest brother will never be deceived by the emperor, and the message sent by Huang Yan only said that the emperor sent someone to surrender and was detained by the eldest brother with the letter, but it did not say that the eldest brother promised to surrender." ” Zhu Di was shocked, and only thought in his heart: "If my son is really bewitched by the emperor and takes refuge in the imperial court" He didn't dare to think about it anymore, although there was a concubine Xu in Beiping, and there was also Master Daoyan, but Gao Chi was a righteous son and had always been in charge of the military and political power in Beiping.
In the past few years, he has led the troops outside, and everything in the Beiping Military Political and Legal Department is in the hands of the eldest son, if he wants to rebel, the princess and Master Daoyan will not be able to stop him, not to mention that he sacrifices the entire Beiping City, as long as he opens a city gate and lets the southern army enter the city, then the general trend will go.
Zhu Di thought about it, and finally didn't dare to put the life of the whole family and the future of more than 100,000 troops on his trust in his eldest son, he said to Zhu Gaoxu with a calm face: "Gao Xu, you immediately led the light horse back to Beijing in the name of urging money and grain, and you didn't know about the surrender of the imperial court.
If your eldest brother dares to resist, then" Zhu Di gritted his teeth, his eyes flashed violently, his right palm slashed downward, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Kill" "The Child Obeys" Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly agreed, and his heart jumped up involuntarily, although his father instructed that if the eldest brother refused to obey the order, he could only kill him, but what the situation would be at that time, it was not up to him to decide.
Even if his father noticed something afterwards, he could still kill himself to avenge his eldest brother, not to mention that among the three brothers, his father liked himself the most.
Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly turned his mind around, stood up and walked out, and at this moment, Zhu Neng led a few generals from the Yanwang Mansion and escorted a dejected guy into the tent.
It turned out that although Huang Yan sent someone to deliver the letter a day in advance, he didn't dare to alarm Zhu Gaochi, so he secretly put his cronies and little eunuch down in the city with a basket.
And the few members sent by Princess Xu were released by Zhu Gaochi by opening the city gate in a big way, and they were also riding first-class war horses in the army, but they arrived at the barracks only a moment later than the little eunuch.
Zhu Di listened to the explanation of the reason, and then took the emperor's imperial letter and looked at it, and saw that the fire paint seal was intact and had never been opened at all, and his excited eyes were filled with tears, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Kill my son, kill my son in danger."
This divisive plan was secretly given to Zhu Yunwen by Fang Xiaoru, and Fang Xiaoru, who prides himself on being the country's Zaifu and Guan Zhong Leyi, has only been a commendable deed since he entered the Beijing Auxiliary Government, and this is the only remarkable deed.
If it weren't for Concubine Xu accidentally saying that she knew with Dao Yan, he really succeeded in making Zhu Di's father and son kill each other this time, and with this plan, he could also wash away his incompetent name a little, but unfortunately, he was destroyed by Dao Yan's bald donkey, from this point of view, it was still very prescient for Fang Xiaoru to severely suppress Buddhism as soon as he held the government.
The discord plan was not successful, and when Fang Xiaoru was frustrated, Xia Xun gave him another handful of eye medicine, because the time for the marriage between Fang Xiaoru and Zhongshan Wangfu had arrived To be continued:
