Not long after, the big man in the scarlet robe, surrounded by a group of embarrassed Li soldiers, entered Nanchang City.The scarlet robe officer glanced at the city, and after only a few glances, he knew the reality of the city.At this time, he followed the soldiers and came to the place where Li Chengdong was stationed, and most of the entire Shuaifu was demolished, which looked very dilapidated.Nanchang was besieged for half a year, and in addition to the shortage of food and gunpowder, the most scarce thing was actually charcoal and firewood.Tens of thousands of troops in the city, plus more than 100,000 people, make fires for cooking every day, consume a lot of wood, and now in winter, need firewood for heating, and more than half of the houses in Nanchang have been demolished.At this time, Fan Chengen came to Li Chengdong with the messenger, "King, the messenger has arrived!"
”At this time, Li Chengdong has changed into the county king costume at the bottom of the box.He is the king of the line of fire, the dragon robe of the county king and the winged good crown, and he has not had a chance to pass through it yet."
King Chungwu!"
The visitor looked at Li Chengdong, a dragon robe, a wing good crown, a jade belt around his waist, and black leather boots, sitting decently, smiling and arching his hands.Li Chengdong was calm, stretched out his hand and said, "Didn't ask for advice?"
”The envoy smiled indifferently, first untied his cloak, shook the snowflakes, and revealed a thin face of a man in his fifties, like a knife, and a pair of eyes, which were extremely sharp and full of wisdom."
Contemptible, the scholar of the Middle Pole Hall is blocking Yinxi!"
Du Yinxi looked at Li Chengdong with a smile."
Block~Block~" Li Chengdong was shocked and broke his voice.Plugging Yinxi still had a high prestige in the Ming Dynasty, Li Chengdong didn't expect him to appear in front of him.Although he had stayed in Nanjing for a while, he was soon deposed, and Li Chengdong often led troops outside, so he had never seen him."
It's not the Cabinet Department~" Li Chengdong regained his composure."
It's not deposed, is it?"
Du Yinxi sat down by himself and said with a smile: "The emperor thinks that I still have some role, and re-use me as a scholar and supervise Jiangxi." ”Now in the Ming Dynasty, there are not many people who can convince Li Chengdong, Zhao Ming is counted as one, and Plug Yinxi is also counted as one.For a selfless person like Du Yinxi, Li Chengdong still respects him very much, and the words he originally prepared and the shelves he wanted to put on couldn't be displayed at once, and the rhythm was completely disrupted."
Why did the Pavilion Department enter the city?"
Half a ring, Li Chengdong could only get straight to the point.Plug Yinxi smiled indifferently, "Come for Your Highness!"
”Li Chengdong said with a calm face: "I am deeply favored by Emperor Jianwu, if the Cabinet Department wants me to betray Your Majesty, forget it."
Although I, Li Chengdong, am a martial artist, I am loyal and righteous, not a repeated villain. ”When I say this, I'm afraid that few people believe it, the rebellion started, and then the Ming Dynasty, then the Manchu Qing, and then the Ming Dynasty anyway, and there have been many bosses.Du Yinxi saw that Li Chengdong was wearing a dragon robe, and he was meticulous in wearing it, and he didn't break it, but said with a smile: "Your Highness's loyalty and righteousness, I know, and Your Majesty also knows."
Your Majesty ordered me to come to recruit His Highness, precisely because he valued His Highness's loyalty and ability!
”Li Chengdong was a little surprised, "Emperor Longwu also knows that Li is loyal?"
”Plug Yinxi said: "The prestige and loyalty of the Tiger Marquis, the emperor naturally knows!"
His Royal Highness guarded Nanchang for King Lu for half a year, although it brought a lot of trouble to the court, but his behavior moved and admired the emperor, and it is often said that the Ming Dynasty needs courtiers like His Royal Highness.Therefore, the emperor couldn't bear to watch His Highness die in the city, so he let me come to appease!
The emperor said that among the Lu army, he valued only two people the most, and His Royal Highness was one of them, so His Royal Highness would definitely leave a useful body and serve the Ming Dynasty!
”Li Chengdong couldn't help asking, "Who is the other person?"
”Du Yinxi said with a smile: "Since he is Zhao Ming, the king of Han, His Royal Highness has fought side by side with the king of Han many times, you should know that it is indeed powerful, and it is also worthy of admiration!"
”Li Chengdong heard that Du Yinxi placed himself next to Zhao Ming, and his heart couldn't help but feel refreshed, and he nodded.Du Yinxi looked at Li Chengdong's expression, and was even more sure that Li Chengdong could be appeased, so he said: "His Royal Highness and the King of Han are both people valued by the emperor.Therefore, the emperor sent me to come and agreed with His Highness that as long as His Highness left the city and returned to the court, he would not be prosecuted, retain his title, and all his men and horses would be preserved. ”Longwu means that as long as he surrenders, he will not care about his crime against the Longwu court, and he will still be the king of the county, and keep the soldiers and horses under his command.Under such conditions, Li Chengdong was tempted.However, the country's warriors are unparalleled, and loyal and righteous people can easily surrender, not to mention the impact on the reputation, and they also look down on themselves."
Emperor Jianwu has a great favor to me!"
Li Chengdong is embarrassed.Du Yinxi said in a deep voice: "Your Highness has been guarding Nanchang for half a year, and you have already repaid your kindness."
Now that there is no food in the city, His Royal Highness continues to hold on, and the city will be broken in the near future, but it will only increase the casualties and let the soldiers die in vain.What's the point?
It is better to leave a useful body, serve the Ming Dynasty, recover the north in the future, and return the capital to Beijing, and rely on His Royal Highness to contribute. ”Li Chengdong continued to be entangled, and when he saw this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty's intention, I have already conveyed it, but His Royal Highness has always been loyal and insistent on being himself, so the court can only respect His Highness's choice!"
”If you continue to stick to it now, it is a dead word, and Li Chengdong naturally doesn't want to die.No matter what happens later, survive first now, he heard Yinxi's words, and immediately panicked.Du Yinxi thinks that he is really dead set on Zhu Yihai, and if he wants to live and die with the city, it will be over."
Blocking the cabinet department, I thought about it, and I think what you said is very reasonable!"
Li Chengdong suddenly changed his attitude, no longer pretending, and said in a deep voice: "However, I still have one request, please ask the emperor to allow me to still guard Huai'an!"
”The Han army captured Fujian and then entered Guangdong, and the news of the recent fall of Guangzhou had reached the Longwu army.Therefore, the matter of Nanchang can no longer be delayed, and the Longwu court must take advantage of the Han army's failure to come to its senses to solve Zhu Yihai and determine the overall situation.It was also in this crisis situation that He Tengjiao gave in and gradually restored the status of Plug Yinxi.Du Yinxi pondered for a moment, "Huai'an is opposite to Xuzhou, and it bears the great responsibility of defending the Qing army, and it really needs a general to guard it.I want to continue to be guarded by His Highness, it is the policy of the Lord, and I will advise Your Majesty, and Your Majesty should agree to His Highness's request. ”Li Chengdong was overjoyed, "Then I have no opinion!"
”Fan Chengen was stunned on the side, didn't he just say that he was just listening?
How did the king rebel after a cup of tea.How reserved you are!
At that moment, Li Chengdong talked with Du Yinxi for a while, and then personally sent Du Yinxi to the city gate.At this time, looking at the back of Du Yinxi, Fan Chengen said: "King, what about breaking through?"
”Li Chengdong waved happily, "Canceled!"
”Fan Chengen couldn't help but say: "The king has really descended!"
”Li Chengdong sighed with emotion: "It's gone!
That's blocking the cabinet department, which shows that the court values me!
”After speaking, Li Chengdong looked at Nanchang City under his feet, but a sense of loss rose in his heart, but he was quickly dispelled by him.()
