Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Chapter 36 If the King of Yan raises an army, he will surely fail!

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Yao Guangxiao and Zhang Xin bowed.

Zhu Di waved his hands and said unhappily, "Alright, alright, you two don't have to flatter me. Although I am very angry, I haven't lost my mind yet."

Yao Guangxiao and Zhang Xin laughed dryly.

"Okay, Zhang Xin, you go back first. Leave the letter with me. I will revise it and send it to you later." Zhu Di said.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Zhang Xin nodded, pushed open the door and left.

After Zhang Xin left, Zhu Di found a seat and sat down. He sighed and said, "I never thought Ge Cheng would betray me."

Yao Guangxiao was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, Ge Cheng's betrayal of you only shows that he has no vision. He will regret it one day."

"Maybe, but he probably won't be able to see that day. When the rebellion starts, Ge Cheng's head will be used as a sacrifice." Zhu Di shook his head.

"Alas," Yao Guangxiao sighed in his heart and did not plead for Ge Cheng.

Although he and Ge Cheng had worked together for five or six years and had a good relationship, they had become opponents since the moment Ge Cheng defected to Zhu Yunwen.

To plead for Ge Cheng would be irresponsible for his own life and for Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and others.

Just imagine, if they failed in the end, would Ge Cheng plead for them?

Because of different positions, there is no room for leniency.

"Please take a look at the letter and make some revisions. Also, you and the prince should take good care of Beiping recently. I will go to Daning." Zhu Di said.

"Go to Daning?" Yao Guangxiao was stunned, his eyes full of confusion.

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "I have thought about it carefully. Seventeenth brother can still fight for it, and the hope is very high. I am very confident when I go to Daning this time."

The three guards of Duoyan alone could not satisfy his appetite.

As for strength, the stronger the better.

Yao Guangxiao stared at Zhu Di for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

Zhu Di stood up, patted Yao Guangxiao on the shoulder, and walked out of the study.

"Your Majesty!"

Outside the study, Zhang Wu saw Zhu Di, stepped forward to greet him, and said, "The carriage is ready."

"Well, let's go!" Zhu Di nodded and walked towards the backyard of the palace.

Not long after, a carriage left the palace under the cover of night.

Yingtianfu, small courtyard!

In the past two days, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a much better mood. First, Tang He brought news that things were going smoothly. Second, the issue of reducing the power of the princes seemed to have come to a halt, and there was no news of any harm to the princes.

"Perhaps, I was too impatient before. Yun Wen still knows how to act in moderation."

In the yard, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the blue sky and white clouds, thinking secretly in his heart.

"Squeak!"

The courtyard door was pushed open, and Jiang Lin hurried over: "Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang's good mood was slightly ruined when he saw Jiang Li. He frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Li lowered his head and said nervously, "News has come from Peking that the Prince of Yan seems to be making some moves."

"The fourth son is indeed the most like me." Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, his expression becoming somewhat complicated. Ever since Zhu Bo's accident, he had been worried that Zhu Di would be dishonest. Now it seemed that his worries were indeed correct. This son who was most like him would not sit idly by and wait for death.

"Tell Tang He to hurry up." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Li bowed and turned to leave.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head, looked towards the direction of Beiping, and murmured, "Fourth Brother, don't be too anxious, wait for Dad."

He really didn't want to see Zhu Di committing treason, because if that happened, no matter what Zhu Di's purpose was, he would have to severely punish Zhu Di after he showed up.

The best outcome waiting for Zhu Di at that time would be to be imprisoned behind the high walls of Fengyang and spend the rest of his life there.

He knew Zhu Di's abilities, and it would be a real shame if he was imprisoned behind the high walls of Fengyang.

In addition, he had killed almost all the capable generals of the Ming Dynasty, and the new generation had not yet fully grown up. According to his plan, before the new generation of generals grew up, the border security of the Ming Dynasty would be supported by the princes from all over the country.

At the same time, Li Jinglong also rushed back to Yingtian Prefecture and was apologizing to Zhu Yunwen in the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, I have failed in my duties. Please punish me."

Zhu Yunwen smiled broadly as he stepped forward to help Li Jinglong up, saying, "Jinglong, I've already investigated everything. The fault isn't yours. Your twelfth uncle is desperate and wants to commit suicide. Actually, you've been implicated as well."

"Ah?" Li Jinglong was stunned and didn't react.

Although Zhu Yunwen's method of reducing the power of the princes was cruel, Zhu Bo was Zhu Yunwen's uncle after all, so when he responded to Tianfu, he was prepared to be severely punished and reprimanded.

There may be many reasons for Zhu Bo's death, but there is no doubt that he was the key fuse that triggered everything, and Li Jinglong knew this very well.

"Don't think too much, I really don't blame you." Zhu Yunwen saw Li Jinglong's expression, reached out and patted his shoulder, and spoke again to emphasize.

Li Jinglong believed it now, and his heart was filled with disbelief. Is this still the Emperor Jianwen who was famous for his benevolence and righteousness?
Well, it seems so. It is quite kind to him!

"Your Majesty treats me so well. How could I possibly deserve this?"

"From now on, if your majesty has any orders, I will not refuse even if it means death!"

Li Jinglong suddenly knelt on the ground, looking extremely moved, and tears flowed down his face.

He didn't know what Zhu Yunwen was thinking, but he knew that he was really fine.

Such an outcome was far beyond his expectations.

This opportunity is rare, so we must be grateful and show our loyalty.

"Okay, okay, you are a general in the army, why are you crying? If your subordinates see you, how will you lead the troops in the future?" Zhu Yunwen shook his head, his face full of helplessness.

"Your Majesty, I am so excited that I can't help it!" Li Jinglong said while wiping his tears.

Zhu Yunwen untied the silk from his waist, handed it to Li Jinglong, and said, "Jinglong, do you think Fourth Uncle will directly raise an army this time?"

Li Jinglong was startled, then thought for a moment and said, "It's possible. However, if the Prince of Yan really raises an army, it will also be a good thing for Your Majesty. When the time comes, I will defeat the Prince of Yan for Your Majesty and bring him to Fengtian Palace for Your Majesty to decide his fate."

Zhu Yunwen turned to look at Li Jinglong and said, "Jinglong, are you confident that you can defeat Fourth Uncle?"

Li Jinglong smiled broadly and said, "I am absolutely confident that I can defeat the King of Yan. It's not because I am a better warrior than the King of Yan, but because of Your Majesty."

"Because of me? What do you mean? Do you want me to fight my fourth uncle?" Zhu Yunwen frowned with confusion on his face.

He still had some idea of ​​himself. Asking him to go to the battlefield to fight Zhu Di would be no different from seeking death.

Li Jinglong shook his head and said, "No, what I mean is that Your Majesty rules over the four seas, while the Prince of Yan only has a tiny corner of Peking. I dare to assert that if the Prince of Yan raises an army, he will undoubtedly fail!"
