The Yan army besieged the city.
After four years of hardship and a hundred battles, today, they finally killed under Jinling City.
The overall situation was decided, and the morale of the three armies was full, which formed a sharp contrast with the panic and discouragement of the defenders at the head of the city.
Countless soldiers were bare-backed, busy under the scorching voice, excitedly using them to rush to the city of Jinling, and the southern army was building siege equipment with the beams and trees abandoned in panic, and the sun shone on their dark skin, and sweat was shining.
The big banner of the word Yan is erected straight under the fierce saying, the army of the king of Yan is set up under the city of Jinling for ten miles, the banner is displayed, the camp is even in the sky, the majestic momentum makes the defenders of the city head look at it in fear.
Zhu Di bathed and changed clothes, changed into a grand vassal robe, wore a crown of wings, wore a vermilion python dragon robe, with a narrow collar and narrow sleeves, and a jade belt around his waist.
Zhu Di rode his horse and whipped up, and in front of him, there was the majestic Jinling of the imperial capital, the Zhongshan Mountain in the east winded around like a coiling dragon, and the stone mountain in the west stood majestically on the bank of the river like a tiger.
The mighty Yangtze River flows northeast from under the Jinchuan Gate.
The golden pavilion in the southeast corner of the city is the imperial city.
As far as the eye could see, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel agitated.
The flying snow on the plug, the bright moon of the Baigou River, the fast horse under the city of Dezhou, the chariot in front of the city of Jinan, and the fiasco under the city of Dongchang, have appeared in front of me one by one, four years, from the emperor's step by step to fight to the death, to now the soldiers are in the city under the victory, how many times to the arrow, how many times to almost die, and now, he finally ushered in the moment of victory.
The 800,000 army did not stop him, the Yangtze River did not stop him, and the city wall of Jinling could stop his progress In Jinling City, countless princes and ministers, civil ministers and military generals are waiting for the final fate in a panic, and at this moment, no one believes that Jinling can still hold on.
Indeed, Jinling is stronger and more majestic than Jinan City, but the time has changed, no matter how strong the city wall is, someone must defend it, and now who has the courage to fight with King Yan.
Don't say it's Tie Xuan, the emperor is in the city now, and he can't boost the morale of the three armies.
In the courtyard of Wu Pu's house, under the shade of a thick tree, a table of wine and food, a few friends are talking about the current situation worriedly.
Present were the host Wu Pu, as well as guests Hu Jing, Wang Gen, Li Guan, and the other one who was the shortest and not good-looking, but Xie Jin, the great talent they admired the most.
Xie Jin, one of the "three great talents of the Ming Dynasty" along with Yang Shen and Xu Wei, suffered in Lanzhou for more than three years, and later continued to work for him through his friend Dong Lun, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and finally at the beginning of this year, he was transferred back from Lanzhou, and is now waiting for the edict of Hanlin.
At the banquet, in view of the current situation, everyone is talking, almost all of them do not think that Jinling City can still be defended, Wang Gen burst into tears, and said to Hu Jing, Li Guan and Hu Pu: "In the second year of Jianwen, you and I won the Jinshi together, ranking in the top four on the top list, I thought that you and I could serve the country from now on, but I didn't expect that after only two years of hard work, the country ended up like this."
Hu Jingxin said: "Serving the country, what does it have to do with Jianwen and King Yan who is the Son of Heaven, it is all the Zhu Ming royal family, when King Yan sits in the world, doesn't he need his courtiers to take care of the country for him, we don't have to raise a seedling to shout and cut the domain, there are twenty-nine people on the list of King Yan's annihilation, but there is no name and surname of you and me, what is the sadness?"
However, what they learned was moral articles, so naturally they couldn't say this kind of thing, and they were busy echoing two sentences, looking loyal and courageous.
This kind of beautiful thing really wants to be said, and he is even better than what Wang Gen said.
Xie Jin watched coldly, as if he was smiling, but it was difficult for people to see his mentality.
He doesn't have a good impression of this Jianwen Emperor, it was this Jianwen Emperor who let him go to Lanzhou to eat soil, and now, entrusting his friends to activities, he finally returned to Nanjing, and he didn't want to run into the change of hands just after he came back, he didn't care, his full of talent and learning, and he couldn't get it in the hands of Emperor Jianwen.
Is the sky going to change, and what does it have to do with him?
At the end of the song, the people dispersed, and several literati were powerless to return to the current predicament, so they could only send some sighs and go back.
Wu Pu's youngest son is already nine years old, and he listens to several uncles who are either impassioned or quoted by the side, and those who don't understand it can vaguely understand it.
When several uncles left, he snuggled into his father's arms and said: "Daddy, Uncle Hu just said that the city was broken, so he went with Emperor Jianwen. ” Wu Pu shook his head silently, his wife was cleaning up the table, for fear that her husband would follow the example of the nerdy scholar to commit suicide Mingzhi, so he quickly pulled away his son, slapped him hard on the buttocks, and said angrily: "What nonsense, go back to the house and study."
Then he said to Wu Pu uneasily: "Xianggong, this is the emperor's family matter, you must not have confused thoughts, if you have three long and two short, leave us orphans and widows" Speaking of this, Mrs.
Wu couldn't help but shed tears.
Wu Pu smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, what nonsense, my husband won't die." ” He was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "I am on the same list as Wang Gen, Hu Jing, and Li Guan, and I have been friends for two years. ” As soon as Wu Pu's words fell, he heard Hu Jing's voice from his left neighbor: "Madam, there is a shortage of soldiers outside, why are you still leisurely, hurry up and clean up the valuable things at home, and hide them under the rice cabinet."
Wu Pu and Hu Jing and Wang Gen are in the same department, respectively, one, two, three and four, after becoming officials, except for Li Guan's relatively wealthy family and bought a house in the bustling downtown area alone, the other three people are all in the same alley to buy a house, Wupu's left neighbor is Hu Jing's house, and the right house is Wang Gen's house.
Hearing Hu Jing's words, Wu Pu and his wife looked embarrassed, and after a pause, Wu Pu smiled bitterly: "Madam, how do you think that the valuable things at home have not suffered from the military disaster, how can he seek death?"
Mrs.
Wu burst into laughter, nodded on his forehead coquettishly, and said: "Lord Hu, this is a smart person, who is the uncle and nephew of the Zhu family to be the emperor, what does it matter to us, don't be stupid, don't be ruthless, leave the slave family and the children, and learn from Hu Zhuangyuan."
Wang Gen's family, Wang Gen said to his wife with a solemn expression: "Madam, I eat Emperor Jianwen's Yulu, I have to be worthy of Emperor Jianwen, now the Yan Wang's soldiers are under the city, it is impossible to defend it, when the city is broken, the emperor will die and martyr, Wang Gen as a courtier, can neither worry for the monarch, nor let the monarch's father die in the head of my courtier, I will go first, under the nine springs, and then serve the emperor before driving" "Husband" Mrs.
Wang gried and cried on the ground, but Wang Gen governed the family very strictly, and Mrs.
Wang never disobeyed her husband, and when she saw that her husband had already sprouted the will to die, she did not dare to dissuade her.
Wang Gen smiled miserably, quietly opened the lid of the small bottle of wine he bought with his thumb in his sleeve, and said: "If you raise your children well, you will do your duty for me, and go to Jiuquan first for your husband to welcome the Son of Heaven."
After saying that, he raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth, and Luo Kedi was led into the Zhengxin Hall with a solemn face, he didn't know what important orders the emperor would have when he summoned him at this time.
The Yan army was about to enter the city, and he really didn't expect that the imperial court would be defeated so badly and so quickly.
In the past few days, what has been lingering in his mind has always been Yang Xu's figure.
He lost, he lost completely, Yang Xu's kid had such an accurate vision and could see so far As soon as "Lord Luo" saw that Luo Ke's enemy had arrived, the young eunuch Wang Yue hurriedly greeted him.
Luo Kedi asked quietly: "What about the emperor?"
Wang Yue said: "The emperor is waiting for you inside, hurry up." ” Luo Kedi nodded, walked forward, Wang Yue also followed, waved his hand, all the chamberlains and palace maids hunched their waists, and slowly retreated.
Seeing this situation, Luo Kedi couldn't help but be a little moved: "The emperor actually withdrew all the people around him, what top secret important matter did he tell me, did he want me to find a way to assassinate King Yan If King Yan died violently, it would be a good way to solve this crisis, but how difficult it is to assassinate King Yan." ” Luo Kedi thought wildly about bypassing the screen, and Zhu Yunwen, who was pacing back and forth, with an anxious face, immediately greeted Luo Kedi, and before Luo Kedi bowed down, he grabbed his arm and said eagerly: "Luo Aiqing, when the country's survival is at stake, at the moment of life and death, I can only entrust you with this important matter." ” Luo Kedi's nose was sour when he heard this, and he almost burst into tears, what he thought about for a while was that he could gain the emperor's trust and regain the glory of Jinyiwei, and he finally waited for this moment.

The emperor finally thought of him, and finally thought of Jinyiwei, although it was too late at this time, Luo Kedi was still agitated: "Even if the emperor asks me to sneak into the Yan military camp to assassinate the king of Yan, I will go, I will go in person, the emperor will treat me as a national soldier and break my bones, and I will die without regrets."
Luo Kedi's eyes lit up, he Taoguang has been obscure for many years, this moment is like a sword in a long-hidden sheath, suddenly out of the sheath, it is still cold and shining, Luo Kedi said in a deep voice: "The emperor, please command, the ministers will not live up to the emperor's expectations" "Well, I know that Luo Aiqing has always been loyal to me, a thousand times better than those wastes who are plain and boastful, and they are left at the end of the day."
Zhu Yunwen said excitedly: "Whether Jinling City can be defended, I am really uncertain, I can't help but take precautions, I want you to arrange it for me, once the city is broken, I will be sent out of the palace."
Luo Kedi was stunned, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and Zhu Yunwen said in fear: "Why, even you can't do it?"
Luo Ke's heart moved, and he suddenly thought: "Could it be that the emperor wants to flee elsewhere and make a comeback" His eyes lit up again, and he hurriedly asked: "Where does Your Majesty want to go to the King of Shu in Sichuan, or the King of Mu in Yunnan to call on the world, there is still a chance?"
Zhu Yunwen hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I am still invincible to King Yan in the whole world, what's the use of fleeing there, it's just a moment of late death Aiqing, you make good arrangements, let me escape as far as possible, don't let King Yan's people find me" Luo Kedi was silent for a moment, slowly bowed to the ground, knocked his head deeply to the ground, and said in a low voice: "The minister obeys the order" To be continued:
