Chapter 409: What is Mr.
Cheng Poning's proposal?
Negotiate peace with the king of Yan, seek to divide the river and rule, temporarily truce, and then form an alliance with the Tatars to fight against the king of Yan.Of course, this was followed by nominal support, economic and material support, and other benefits.After all, the entire north is not completely controlled by King Yan, and there are still many places that are loyal to and obey the orders of the Jianwen court.When Mr.
Ning said this proposal before, although the Yan army had already brought great pressure from Zhu Yunwen, after all, it was still across the Yangtze River and still in the north of the Yangtze River, and he still fantasized that the imperial army could block the Yan army according to the Yangtze River.But what I didn't expect was that the Yan army crossed the river so easily, and there was no delay at all, and as soon as it successfully crossed the river, it was like a bamboo, and there were countless unstoppable troops along the road.At this time, not only the soldiers and courtiers in the capital, but also Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen himself was already a little panicked.So after Mr.
Ning talked about the proposal again, Zhu Yunwen agreed without thinking too much.Before, he asked the county lord of Qingcheng to play the family card, but failed, this time he still wanted to use the family card, so he asked several feudal kings and envoys who were now staying in the capital to go out of the city to see King Yan.After the envoys met with Queen Yan, they first said that the "traitorous ministers" Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng in the court had been imprisoned and convicted, and asked him to withdraw his troops and return to Beiping.After seeing that King Yan was unmoved, he asked the king of Gu and King An to persuade him that as long as King Yan returned to the north bank of the Yangtze River, Shandong, Beiping, and Shanxi could be governed by him on behalf of the imperial court in the future.As a result, King Yan asked the two younger brothers: "Is this really from the Son of Heaven, not the conspiracy of traitors?"
”King Gu and King An looked at each other, speechless.The king of the valley is also one of the nine kings of Yisai, commanding the soldiers of Xuanfu, after the king of Yan raised troops, he was worried about being involved, and Emperor Jianwen had an edict, so he led the troops to the capital King Qin.As a result, as soon as he arrived in the capital, he was deprived of military power and was placed under semi-house arrest.According to his opinion, if Emperor Jianwen kills King Yan in the end, then he will not be able to return to the fiefdom, and it is estimated that he will be cut off the prince, or put the capital under house arrest, or be relocated to other remote and desolate places, and he will definitely not have any military power.So in his heart, he was naturally very resentful of Emperor Jianwen, and he thought that the chances of King Yan's success were very slim, but he didn't expect that this fourth brother really hit the city of Jinling and forced Zhu Yunwen to sue for peace, he actually hoped that King Yan could win now, with King Yan's attitude towards the strategy of cutting the domain, he should be able to return to the fiefdom and continue to be his king of the valley at that time.So this time I went out of the city with the envoys to see King Yan, but because of Emperor Jianwen's request, I had to do it.In private, there were even a few people who were dissatisfied with Emperor Jianwen and wanted to serve King Yan found him and wanted to "conspire together".Although he didn't respond, he actually had some thoughts in his heart.As for King An, he was still young, and when Taizu passed away, he had not yet become a vassal, and after Zhu Yunwen took the throne, he even implemented the strategy of cutting the domain, so naturally he did not let him become a vassal, and he has always stayed in the capital.Judging from his personal interests, he naturally didn't like Emperor Jianwen, a nephew who was five years older than him.What happened to several imperial uncles, he saw it in his eyes, not to mention anything else, at this time, in addition to the two of them in the capital, there was another vassal king who had a good relationship with Zhu Di, King Zhou.At the beginning, the Zhou domain was cut, the king of Zhou was exiled to Menghua, Yunnan, and several sons were also migrated to remote and desolate places.King An had seen his fifth uncle Zhu Lu several times in Beijing, and he looked very haggard, as if he was ten or twenty years old.This time, Emperor Jianwen wanted the vassal king in Beijing to come with the envoys to persuade King Yan, and also issued an edict to Zhu Hu, but he was directly refused.King An doesn't want to, he will be like Zhu Hu in the future.Therefore, after hearing King Yan's words, the two vassal kings couldn't say anything against their hearts, and they had no intention of saying good things for Emperor Jianwen at all.The so-called peace talks naturally did not yield any results, and King Yan still thought that Emperor Jianwen was dragging his feet - even if it wasn't, it was impossible for him to agree to a truce at this time and retreat his troops back.After the envoy returned to the capital in disgrace, he reported the results to Emperor Jianwen, and the young emperor actually wept bitterly in front of several important ministers of the court.At this time, Li Jinglong came forward to comfort the emperor, and at the same time, he also proposed to let several nobles and the vassal kings in the capital help share the city defense, Emperor Jianwen didn't think much about it, so he agreed, anyway, now the city defense has been fully handed over to Li Jinglong.But what Emperor Jianwen didn't expect was that just five days later, the Yan army would attack the capital without hindrance and without blood.And it is not just one city gate, but many city gates have been opened one after another, Xu Zengshou, Gu Wang, An Wang, Li Jinglong and others, who should have been the main force to resist the Yan army, but now they have all become the internal response to rush to welcome the new master.Even if some defenders are loyal to the king and want to resist, in this case, either they will not be able to support themselves, and the soldiers below will lose their fighting spirit first, or they will be stabbed in the back by other defenders and stumble.When the Yan army entered the city one after another, everyone knew that the general trend had been set and it was difficult to reverse.Even if there are some loyal martyrs who want to sacrifice their lives for the so-called "righteousness", choose to use their mantis arms as a car, and go to Yan Jun to die, basically no one follows him.For most people, although they may agree with Emperor Jianwen's orthodox status in their hearts, it is impossible for them to send them to death knowing that there is no hope.Anyway, King Yan is also a member of the Zhu family, and if someone else is in charge of the capital, it will not have a great impact on them, but if the defenders resist fiercely and even fight in the streets, the capital will suffer from ordinary people to powerful gentry.Wang Ge was drinking tea in a teahouse not far from the imperial city at this time, and in addition to Lian Hong, there was also a middle-aged man with a black face standing next to him.Don't look at this man's cautious and extremely respectful appearance towards Wang Ge now, he is also the number one person in the capital, and he is now the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town.When the commander of the Jinyi Guard has been hanging empty, he can basically be regarded as the number one boss in charge of the prison in the Jinyi Guard.If at the peak of Jinyiwei, with his identity, even the courtiers must be in awe of him.However, in the Jianwen Dynasty, Jinyiwei was basically completely abandoned, and this Zhenfu Lord has long been gone.
