Daming: From the end of Hongwu

It's more tiring than fighting.

But at the next moment, he cheered up again, and after explaining a few words to Zhang Wu, he set off for other places.

When he arrived in Zhongcheng, he found that the situation in Zhongcheng was more complicated than he had imagined. There were many high-ranking officials and dignitaries living here. Unlike ordinary people, they hid at home. Get out of town.

Zhen Wu has no time to take care of these people now, as long as the gates of the whole city are closed, these people will not be able to escape even if they want to, and they have to distinguish loyalty and traitor with them one by one.

He passed through the central city and headed straight for the east city.

Dongcheng was controlled by Xue Lu with his people. When Zhen Wu came, Xue Lu had already grasped the situation. Zhen Wu gave Xue Lu a death order. After guarding the city gate, he turned his gaze to the south.

That's where the imperial city is.

At this moment, both Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu had led an army to surround the imperial city. Zhen Wu thought about it, but still rode towards the imperial city uneasy.

……

At this time, the entire imperial city was in chaos.

Zhu Yunwen sat in the hall in a daze, seeing that all the officials in the court had taken the opportunity to disperse in a hurry, and the rest plus the eunuchs and guards were no more than twenty people, feeling sad for a moment, he raised the long knife to kill Xu Zengshou At the neck, intending to commit suicide.

Cheng Ji, the editor of Hanlin, cried and stopped Zhu Yunqi.

"Your Majesty can't do it. Although the Yan thief is powerful, your Majesty is not afraid of death. Why don't you take advantage of the chaos and flee, intending to move backward."

At this time, the young supervisor Wang Yue also stood up and knelt down, crying, and said, "Has your Majesty forgotten? When Gaozu ascended to the throne, he left an iron box behind, and there was a saying left behind saying, 'If you encounter life and death disasters, you can open it and have a look.' Your Majesty is in trouble now, so don’t open it and take a look.”

All the ministers were shocked by this statement, and then quickly asked the young supervisor to fetch it.

The young prisoner went away in response, and the iron box had been placed on the left side of Fengtian Hall. When he took it, everyone opened the box together, and there were three reading discs, a cassock, shoes and hats, a razor, and silver taels.

There is also a brief statement left by Zhu Yuanzhang, "Yingwen walks from the gate of ghosts, and the rest walks from Shuiguan Yugou, and at dusk, they will go to the west room where God is optimistic."

Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help crying.

He didn't know that when Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, he was worried about his lack of success.

However, after he finished crying, he didn't think about it any more. Disappointed, he had his hair shaved and changed in a hurry, and then everyone discussed how to escape.

Zhu Yunwen knew that it was not easy to escape when there were many people, so he let those who had family members and those who were concerned with each other take it easy. After dismissing many people, Zhu Yunwen brought a few people around him back to the harem. He first found his The two sons bid farewell to the pregnant queen who was not easy to escape, and then set fire to everyone, planning to take advantage of the chaos and escape.

It was summer, and the sky was dry and everything was dry. After the fire ignited, it turned into a raging fire in an instant.

The palace was full of turmoil. Not only did no one put out the fire, but many people who were suppressed in their hearts took the opportunity to release them. Those who had grudges in the past should take revenge for revenge, and those who were poor and wanted to get rich took the opportunity to amass money and steal things. The excitement was no big deal, and they also set fires everywhere, causing complete chaos in the entire palace for a while.

……

At the gate of the palace, Zhen Wu, Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu were discussing matters together.

Zhen Wu asked the two of them: "Do you have a secret order from His Royal Highness?"

The two shook their heads together: "Your Highness only asked us to guard the gates of the palaces and not let anyone escape."

Zhen Wu was a little worried.

After Zhang Yu saw it, he also became worried.

After the two looked at each other, Zhen Wu suggested: "Why don't the three of us each bring some cronies into the palace? I'm worried that something might go wrong with His Highness's arrangement in the palace."

Some things are well known.

Zhang Yu whispered in a tangled voice: "If we enter the palace, we will definitely fall into the trap of others. How can His Highness accept the verbal criticism from the people in the world?"

Zhen Wu also understood this, but he couldn't help worrying in his heart.

He was afraid that their arrangements would not change the fact that Zhu Yunwen had disappeared.

However, when he was extremely worried, the fire in the palace burned violently, and the three of them looked towards the place where the fire was shining.

Zhen Wu said at this moment: "You two, in this situation, how can we see the palace on fire and remain indifferent. Our army is outside, we must go to rescue him."

Both Zhang Yu and Zhang Yu nodded at the same time.

This is a moment.

At this time, they must not sit idly by.

Zhang Yu couldn't help reminding Zhen Wu and Zhu Neng in a low voice: "You two, the three of us have agreed in advance that when we go in this time, no matter what we do, no one will see the emperor, understand?"

"Understood." Both Zhen Wu and Zhu Neng nodded.

Afterwards, the three of them ordered some trusted people, shouted to put out the fire, and walked towards the palace.

After the three of them entered the palace, they dispersed in a hurry, and each searched for Zhu Yunqi with other purposes.

Zhen Wu searched along the Fengtian Palace for a while, but found nothing, he gritted his teeth and headed towards the harem, but when he just arrived at the harem, he was suddenly stopped by someone.

He turned back.

I saw Cao Cheng dressed up as a eunuch, and several eunuchs were fighting with a group of people.

And among the pedestrians was a monk with an extraordinary appearance and a flustered expression.

Zhen Wu suddenly understood.

He hurriedly asked people to join the battlefield, and after a while, he controlled those people. Cao Cheng came to Zhen Wu's side and said in a low voice: "General You, we saw the emperor gradient with our own eyes, and that person is..."

Before the words finished, Zhen Wu slapped Cao Cheng heavily on the mouth.

Zhen Wu looked at Cao Chengdao coldly: "This group of people took advantage of the chaos to kill the emperor and started fires everywhere in the palace. They were stopped by you and other eunuchs, but they all accidentally fell into the sea of ​​flames. You can understand."

Cao Cheng shivered instantly.

"Understandable."

"Understood and still do it?"

While speaking, Zhen Wu had already ordered all his trusted soldiers to evacuate here, leaving only Cao Cheng and a few eunuchs.

Cao Cheng used to tie up Zhu Yunqi and his group with a dark face, and then stuffed cloths in everyone's mouths, without giving them a chance to speak or resist, and threw them all into a burning room.

And Zhen Wu didn't take a second look there.

After Cao Cheng finished, Zhen Wu whispered to him: "Those eunuchs, you get rid of them, I can only keep you alone."

Cao Cheng was a little surprised, but he figured it out the next moment.

He turned back and went to deal with those eunuchs who knew the inside story without saying a word.

Soon.

Cao Cheng came out covered in blood.

Zhen Wu nodded and said: "Throw away the clothes on your body. From now on, you need to remember that you have never been to the capital in advance. As for your family members, they will live near my house from now on."

After speaking, Zhen Wu quickly disappeared from here.

When Zhen Wu joined his cronies again, he shouted sadly: "Follow me to Fengtian Hall to fight the fire, and the emperor must not be in danger."

……

Chapter 316 - The Fire of Fengtian Temple

The fire in Fengtian Temple is getting stronger.

Starting from the Wenlou on the east side, it has spread to the main hall, and the heat waves in it are surging, and the flames are rolling from time to time, making people daunting.

In the courtyard in front of the hall, there were many people running and shouting, some running for their lives, some trying to put out the fire, including guards, civil servants, and eunuchs.

These mixed together formed a chaotic scene.

When Zhen Wu came here with his cronies.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered his subordinates to start putting out the fire. At the same time, he looked around, and naturally showed the aura of a general in charge of the army, and took advantage of the situation to organize the people in the courtyard.

Those people were a little confused.

Who is this?

However, for the sake of Zhen Wu's knife, they gradually stopped being confused, and began to follow Zhen Wu's command and participate in the fire fighting work together.

At this time, Zhen Wu stopped an old eunuch, and asked with a stern face: "I heard that before the fire started, the emperor stayed in Fengtian Palace at last, is this true?"

The old eunuch was first frightened by the shining waist knife in Zhen Wu's hand, and then lost two souls by Zhen Wu's stern shouting. How can he keep his mind clear? He only remembers that the emperor stayed in Fengtian Hall before the city was broken. , so he nodded without thinking too much.

"It's true, it's true, the emperor is in Fengtian Hall."

The words fell.

Many people present heard it. People who didn't know the truth didn't doubt what the old eunuch said. Many people even fell to the ground in shock.

And Zhen Wu's face also changed drastically.

The next moment, Zhen Wu gritted his teeth and shouted at the fire-fighting crowd, "Damn it, who the hell didn't work hard, I chopped off his head on the spot, we must rescue the emperor as soon as possible."

When the fire extinguishers heard Zhen Wu's murderous voice, they couldn't help but shudder.

But even so, Zhen Wu seemed to be too slow, he shouted worriedly towards Fengtian Hall: "Hold on, Your Majesty, I will rescue you right away."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu went into battle in person and began to participate in putting out the fire.

Some civil servants in the field seemed to recognize Zhen Wu's identity at this moment.

"Ah, isn't that Yanjun's Zhenjun horse?"

"It's him. The Zhenjun horse came to the capital many years ago. I had a conversation with him at that time. Although there have been some changes over the years, I definitely recognize it. It is definitely the Zhenjun horse."

"But...but isn't he from Yan Jun? Could it be that we misunderstood King Yan before?"

"Never mind if there is a misunderstanding, can't this performance alone prove anything? Just take a look, how many people ran for their lives when the emperor was in danger, and who once organized people to put out the fire like Zhenjun horses."

"Yes, yes, Zhen Junma's performance this time is enough to prove that loyalty can be learned from."

……

Not far away, Zhen Wu, who was putting out the fire, noticed the words of others, and couldn't help but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but before he was intoxicated for a while, Zhu Neng hurried over with someone.

Zhu Neng couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Zhen Wu and his people trying their best to put out the fire. He came to Zhen Wu's side and stopped Zhen Wu from putting out the fire.

"What are you doing?" Zhen Wu glared at Zhu Neng dissatisfied.

Zhu Neng frowned: "What's the matter with you?"

Zhen Wu was in a hurry: "The emperor is in Fengtian Palace, what are you talking about, what the hell are you going to do to put out the fire, what are you asking me to do?"

"The emperor is in Fengtian Palace?!"

Zhu Neng was startled instinctively, and then he looked around, all the firefighters were shouting for help and trying to put out the fire with all their strength, Zhu Neng, who had no doubt about him, was also in a hurry.

He whispered eagerly in Zhen Wu's ear, "Are you really saving?"

"Abandon your mother's words."

Zhen Wu glanced at Zhu Neng, and said contemptuously: "I have looked down on people like you who have no sense of loyalty to the emperor since I was a child." After speaking, Zhen Wu stopped talking to Zhu Neng, and immediately got busy again.

And Zhu Neng looked at Zhen Wu's busy back, almost dumbfounded.

At this moment, he just felt that his brain was not enough.

Save Zhu Yunwen?

joke.

Even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't believe that Zhen Wu, a bastard, would save Zhu Yunqi!

Zhang Yu also came here at this time. He looked at Zhen Wu who was putting out all his strength to put out the fire, and after thinking for a while, a smile appeared in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, his people also started to put out all their strength to put out the fire.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Neng looked at Zhang Yu suspiciously.

Zhang Yu stepped forward and patted Zhu Neng's shoulder, deliberately teasing Zhu Neng, saying: "Put out the fire, don't be dazed, rescue is important."

Help?

Save the motherfuckers!

He, Zhu Neng, wished he could stab Zhu Yunqi to death and let Zhu Di ascend the throne. How could he save Zhu Yunqi.

But the next moment.

Zhu Neng suddenly came to his senses, Zhen Wu and Zhang Yu, who is not a thief and a monkey, will really save Zhu Yunwen?

He looked at the busy backs of Zhen Wu and Zhang Yu, and started cursing for a while.

……

After everyone extinguished the fire together, the fire in Fengtian Hall finally gradually became smaller. When the last flame was extinguished, many people sat on the ground exhausted.
