[Zhu Ning] For the sake of the country

Uncle's inner sheet is a light golden sand color, and his coat is woven with superior silver silk thread into a complicated pattern of the same color, embellished with brown and gold embroidery, as condensed as the moonlight, as bright as the sun, one person carries the sun and the moon, and the emperor is also shoulder The sun and the moon are in charge of the country, and the two walk together very well.

Zhu Houzhao was not in a hurry to enter the palace, he waved away the crowd and invited King Ning to go to the imperial garden.Tomorrow is a grand celebration for the whole country. The palace has already been perfectly arranged according to the rules and etiquette. Everywhere you go is solemn and colorful. The maids, servants, and forbidden soldiers salute the two of them along the way. Zhu Houzhao secretly looks at King Ning from time to time. Silent all the way, not knowing what to think.

After leaving the Shenwu Gate, he was leaving the palace. Zhu Houzhao did not stop and walked towards the Longevity Mountain. King Ning paused to look at the back in front of him, and then continued to follow him. Putting aside Zhu Houzhao's absurd behavior, King Ning has managed the power for many years It has reached its peak, with the trust of the king and the support of the people, and then there are generals and ministers, and the power is no problem. Even with Zhu Houzhao's unreasonable thoughts, it will not affect his pursuit of power and profit. Taking advantage... Ning Wang was stunned by his own plan, could it be possible to give up even his self-esteem for the sake of the big picture that has been going on for a long time?There is no need to hesitate for the answer, it is clearly not allowed.But this is definitely not the time to disobey the new king. After all, there are still several factions in the court that are stronger than yourself. Pass the royal road, pass the green shade, wind along the mountain road, and climb to the top of the mountain with Zhu Houzhao.The entire Miyagi Imperial City was at their feet, and the majestic mountains and rivers of the world were laid out in front of the two like a scroll. The breeze was blowing, and the sleeves and hairbands of the two were stretched and entangled in the wind.

Zhu Houzhao stroked the hair on his cheeks, and looked at the magnificent capital city and the vast territory in the distance, all of which he was sitting on. He turned his head and smiled, "Uncle Emperor, I only felt father The honor of the emperor as the son of heaven, and now I can also feel the weight of the country, I sincerely hope that the Ming Dynasty under my governance will be stable and the people will be prosperous." Just like before, he looked at King Ning expectantly and confidently, it was an invitation and an entrustment , King Ning must assist him to realize this great wish of the prosperous age.Zhu Houzhao described the beautiful scenery of the future in his heart, and King Ning also built his own blueprint for the Ming Dynasty in his mind. He overlooked the four directions, and the wind went straight up to thousands of miles. Zhu Houzhao's acts of affection, which are tentatively called affection, are faintly like an inconspicuous powder in Kyushu Haotian.

The palaces, streets, and houses formed by the overlapping of multiple colors stretch under your feet. The thousands of miles of rivers and mountains on the paintings are not as vivid as this one-ten-thousandth of the vivid galloping. Because of the festival tomorrow, the capital is already decorated with lights, red festive, bright yellow Nobility, the freshness of the blue color, the distance of the deep blue, admiring the colorful colors from the commanding heights of the capital, overlooking the boundless territory, the two of them stand side by side, with familiar appearances and figures in sight, but with the arrival of tomorrow it seems to have changed Breed quietly.

The night is long, and the imperial palace in the capital is already quiet and resting. King Ning is thinking about the officials of various vassal dynasties under the lights of the mansion. Zhu Houzhao is in the palace looking at the dragon robe and crown that will be added tomorrow. Mahjong, looking up at the stars, the officials of the feudal dynasty in Beijing also pursued and chose completely different paths in the secular world.

At dawn, the drums and horns sounded, and the distant sound came from the palace. The complicated and solemn enthronement ceremony began. The ceremony of kneeling three times and knocking nine times, the sound of long live praises and the ringing of bells are deafening.Zhu Houzhao walked up the steps from the center of the group of officials, and sat on the throne on the top of the Golden Luan Hall. From today on, he is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the most honorable person in the world, and the person who wrote and painted the history of the country.

I don't know how to stand at the head of the officials, keep my eyes on the new emperor in the hall, and follow the voice of the ceremonial officials, all the officials in the hall shout long live, bow their heads in worship, don't know how to put their foreheads against the red brocade laid on the ground, and meditate on themselves The previous oath, the hall was full of the most powerful people in Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hou took care of the uniform high-ranking officials' clothes and the uniform uniform of the vassal dynasty's clothes, his eyes lingered on the familiar figure, the life and death of the people were in the palm of his hands , and his life has long been entangled and maintained by one person, and he can no longer be separated from now on.

It has been more than a year since Prince Ning left the feudal domain. The weather was fine this day, and he finally had time to take care of the chores in Jiangxi. It has been rainy recently, and the tea was damp before tomorrow. He drank plain water instead. It is rare for the prince to be in the mansion all day The spies came one after another, King Ning raised his head and looked outside the study, it was already the evening sunset, "King Zheng and others stepped up their actions and actively wooed the ministers of the court, they didn't know how to do wrong in the court, which has already caused dissatisfaction in the court." Wang Hui retreated all the people inside and outside the study, leaving only Ye Zi. After hearing these reports, he got up and paced outside the door, stepped through the door, and came to the courtyard. The bamboo is tall and straight, and the plantain is stretched, "My lord, the situation is favorable."

He behaved strangely and acted perversely. The ministers of the court did not adapt to it for a while, and had no countermeasures. Wanton and absurd, it must be to purge the court by using ignorant hands to remove political enemies. It is inconvenient for the new emperor to come forward to suppress the old ministers and promulgate new policies. After doing a lot of mischief, the imperial court will truly become Zhu Houzhao's court, so recently King Ning resigned. Palace, don't participate in political affairs, don't decide the government affairs, watch as much as you like, King Ning has come to the end of the garden along the path, he turned and looked back, strolled back to the study, the night was already dark, the indoor lights were bright, and his eyes were very bright. , "What happened to King Zheng's men?"

"Still stationed outside the city, no change."

Hmph, the corners of King Ning's mouth raised, his eyebrows stretched out, and even Lying Cang had a smile in his eyes, "At one stroke, and then weakened and exhausted, King Zheng had long remembered that the army was in trouble, but he was stopped by the late emperor. The morale of the army has long been scattered, the more stable the situation is, the more unfavorable it is for him, and the alliance of the four kings will also loosen. At that time, he will be in a dilemma, and it will be easy to deal with them. It depends on whether the court will force King Zheng to make a decision .”

"My lord, when your army arrives in the capital tomorrow, we will definitely be even more powerful." Ye Zi always bowed her head, and after saying this, she was also full of confidence, and she couldn't help but look up at King Ning.

"Before the emperor ascended the throne, he asked me to go north to defend the capital and contribute to him against the four kings. However, the march was too fast, and the former emperor would have suspected me. This king ordered you to march slowly. You will arrive after the new emperor ascends the throne. If King Zheng retreats , then this king will definitely let him come and go, if King Zheng raises an army, after he and the court fight to the death, this king's army will be the army of decisive victory." King Ning has already planned correctly, and power only belongs to the most powerful people hand.

The Qianqing Palace is an illusion that the emperor has already gone to bed. Zhu Houzhao carefully read all six memorials in the bedroom, and there are some secret reports of Jinyiwei in front of him. I no longer trust King Ning but favor Taifu, Taifu made a mess of the government, King Ning is disheartened, and recently he doesn't care about political affairs, and plans to rebel with King Zheng."

"..." Zhu Houzhao jumped up from the case, threw the gossip letter far away, then thought for a while, then walked silently to the distance to pick up the memorial, and put it back on the case.

"My lord, my subordinates also learned that the six ministers in the imperial court did not understand the impeachment, and they have jointly signed the petition, but the emperor cited it but did not publish it, and there was no follow-up. The six ministers threatened that the emperor would not dismiss him and did not understand, so they resigned."

King Ning turned his head to glance at Ye Zi, and then turned his eyes back to look outside the door. Zhu Qin rushed to report, "My lord, Eunuch Huang, who is beside the emperor, came to deliver the order."

Huang Sheng returned to the palace from the Liubu Shangshu and Prince Ning's residence, and returned to Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty, this old slave has conveyed the order for tomorrow's government discussion for you, and both the Liubu Shangshu and King Ning have accepted the order."

"Well," Zhu Houzhao nodded in satisfaction. Although he didn't understand that he was carrying out his own will, he inevitably acted forcefully and offended many ministers in the court. The six ministers were even more dissatisfied. King Ning was neutral. With the rearrangement of the Chinese forces, it is time to suspend the layout and appease people's hearts. To call them into the palace tomorrow must be a good comfort.

In the early summer morning, the temperature is suitable and the capital is bustling. No matter how the vassals outside the city look at it, the streets in the city are already noisy and lively. King Ning went to the palace in a carriage, and he had already reported six books. Just as he expected, he got off the car and entered the palace, waiting for the show.

Zhu Houzhao in the palace arranged two seats, one on the left and one on the right, around the throne in the imperial study room, and invited King Ning and Bubu respectively. I haven’t seen King Ning for many days, and the emperor’s uncle looks very good. Clothes, exquisite hair crown, looks and manners never get tired of, when Zhu Houzhao kept his eyes on King Ning, King Ning was also looking at him, Zhu Houzhao became calm and powerful, wearing the dragon robe of the Ming Emperor and sitting on the throne, far from the pure and pure young man of the past clear.King Ning had a high status and was seated on the left. He glanced at the serious one sitting on the right, who didn't understand, and waited patiently.Unlike King Ning's calmness, Zhu Houzhao was a little uneasy. Courtiers would never delay their orders to enter the palace. Today has passed, and no one came. He drank a cup of tea and flirted with Huang Sheng. Huang Sheng understood, and once again Send Jin Yiwei to investigate.

Not knowing how to keep his eyes on the outside of the hall, Zhu Houzhao's eyes were closed and his brows were slightly wrinkled from the corner of his eyes. Huang Sheng's attempt to help him with more tea was rejected.Finally, the sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, King Ning’s eyes moved slightly, Jin Yiwei came back from his life, and they all knelt down on the ground, "I report to the emperor, my lord, and my lord Taifu. open."

Huichuntang was a medical clinic familiar to the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, and its ointments and health-preserving soups were very popular.

"Doctor's paper, Huichuntang... buy one for ten taels of silver..." I don't understand, although I don't go to health care, I know the people's sentiments in the market and the trend of the court. In addition, Anshen San is very famous, such as poor sleep, one dose can make you sleep all night without dreams and wake up at dawn. I don’t know that I once prayed for the late emperor to relieve the pain of being unable to sleep due to illness.

Zhu Houzhao opened his eyes and looked at Jin Yiwei at his feet, "How are the six ministers feeling sick?"

"My lord Wu, my lord Yan, and my lord Ma gathered at the Qiufeng Tower for a drink last night. They suspected that the dishes were not fresh, and they all fell ill today."

"What about the others?" The emperor asked patiently.

"Mr. Nong and Mr. Dai collided with each other on the way into the palace and were injured."

King Ning bit the tip of his tongue lightly, held back his smile, and admired the courage of these former tea lovers.

"Okay!" Bu Dao shouted, "You're very creative."

"Your Majesty, it seems that the six ministers may have acted on their own will," King Ning swallowed his smile, changed his face to be serious, got up and said to the chief seat, King Ning didn't understand what to say, he bluntly said that the ministers were fake, "let's let Let me go, my humble minister." King Ning knew that most of the ministers in the court were incompatible with each other, but he didn't expect such a level of embarrassment that he didn't even obey the emperor's summons. Fan.

Zhu Houzhao also knew the thoughts of the six ministers, and King Ning took the initiative to mediate. He was very grateful, and his face was tense for a long time, and he finally said happily, "Then I will trouble the emperor."

Just as King Ning was about to receive the order, he didn't know how to jump out from behind the desk, "Hey, don't be in a hurry, I'll go!"

"Are you going? Are you going to invite the ministers to discuss the matter?" It was the emperor who asked, and King Ning also cast a probing look.

He waved his hand without understanding the understatement, "Of course not, I'm just going to the streets, don't worry, the emperor, in a few days, I will definitely let them come back to start work!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and left boldly.

King Ning looked at his back with great interest, and was about to bid farewell to the emperor, taking over his army today was the most important thing.

At this time, the servants outside the hall hurried in and knelt down, "I will tell the emperor, the prince, the king of Zheng, the king of Gu, the king of Han, and the king of Liao to see you."

Zhu Hou looked at King Ning, only for a moment, he realized that he was instinctively seeking his help.King Ning caught the doubt that flashed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and at this moment the emperor is full of sincerity and trust. He has sword eyebrows and star eyes. Anyone who sees this trust will feel the importance of the Son of Heaven, "Uncle Emperor, King Zheng The ambition is clearly revealed, and the men and horses stationed outside the city still do not retreat, I cannot sleep or eat, so please come with me to meet them."

Zhu Houzhao arranged for the four kings to meet in the imperial garden. When the four kings rushed from the Qianqing Palace, they saw King Ning sitting opposite the emperor in the pavilion in the garden, boiling water and drinking tea. Zhu Houzhao raised his eyes, and the pomegranate flowers bloomed behind the emperor's uncle. The red and festive flowers are dotted among the lush green leaves. Although it is in season, Zhu Houzhao does not like it. He is nostalgic for the light-colored crabapple on the market in Meilong Town last year, which belongs only to him. Together, the petals are the indelible spring scenery in my mind.

Zheng Wang and other four kings' troops stationed outside the capital city, it is a big taboo, the new emperor does not act on the surface, the city is extremely deep, the hearts of the four kings' army are scattered, Zheng Wang's leader is even more exhausted, and the army's morale is weak. Today, Zheng Wang finally persuaded The three kings gathered together and entered the palace to find out the truth of the emperor. By the way, they used the excuse that King Ning's army had arrived, and spread rumors that his army was causing trouble outside the city, so as to drive a wedge between him and the emperor.

Before the four of them reached the gazebo, they saw that the two seemed to be admiring the flowers, and King Zheng thought something was wrong in his heart.Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood when he saw the four people, so he skipped kneeling and gave him a seat. Four more seats were added to the round table, and it was immediately crowded.

King Ning and King Zheng were next to each other, and they looked at each other. The men and horses under their command were all outside the city at this time, and it was the formation of confrontation.

Zhu Houzhao ordered someone to serve imperial wine to the vassal princes, and began by expressing his gratitude, "Father the emperor passed away, and I ascended the throne at the beginning of the new century, thanks to the help of the elders to tide over the difficulties, I thank you all." He glanced at the crowd as he spoke.

"I dare not wait."

"The initial decision of the court is due to everyone's credit, and I will remember it in my heart," Zhu Houzhao finished his drink.All the people followed and drank the wine in their cups.

Zheng Wang visually observed that Zhu Houzhao did not have enough courage and courage to deal with him, and he felt at ease. Unexpectedly, a familiar voice came, "Since the world is now stable, I implore the emperor's vassal soldiers to return to their original vassal land..." King Ning sipped his cup, Putting down the wine glass, he said sincerely to the emperor.

King Zheng was almost choked, his face was black and he couldn't get angry for a while.

"Didn't the emperor's troops just arrive in the capital?" Zhu Houzhao was puzzled.

"It is expedient for the foreign soldiers of my minister to enter Beijing. Now that the country is stable, I implore the foreign soldiers to merge into the military department. I only wish to leave a small number of troops in the domain to maintain law and order." King Ning's tone was smooth, not at all like He had been planning a blow for a long time.

The four kings were all shocked, and King Ning came here again!In order to weaken their own strength to force other vassal kings to break their arms, sacrifice the strength of the vassal land, and deal a fatal blow to the vassal kings.

"I am very happy to hear the suggestion of the emperor's uncle, but the soldiers of the feudal vassals have always been there. If they are merged into the Ministry of War, I am afraid that many affairs will be busy. How about this? Give me gold, and I can return to the feudal land to take care of it." Zhu Houzhao smiled with sincerity.

The four kings and others exchanged glances, their thoughts were different, and they were silent. King Gu was not used to the food in the capital, and he missed the beauties in the south of the Yangtze River. Standing up and cupping his hands, he said, "Since the emperor has such kind intentions, I will be happy to obey them." King Zheng cast a glance at King Han, and during this interval, King Ning also stood up like King Gu, and the other three had no choice but to stand up and face the person in the chief seat. , clasped his hands and said loudly, "The ministers are willing to obey."

Zhu Houzhao was very pleased, and nodded to everyone. King Ning really contributed to the country again, letting these evil-minded vassal kings withdraw their troops from Beijing and relieve their serious troubles. It is really the most gratifying thing in recent days. With the excuse of staying in the palace, they resigned one after another. King Ning left Xuanwu Gate with the four kings without waiting for Zhu Houzhao to stay.

King Ning watched Zheng Wang and others leave, and then calmly got into the carriage, waited out of Zhengyangmen, put on a horse, and took a few followers to gallop out of the city to take charge of the army, "I have seen you, my lord!" Suddenly, a dashing figure in white clothes appeared, riding the horse with King Ning, because on the horse's back, he only held the rein and gave a little hand. When King Ning saw that it was Shan Zhou, the chief of the army under his command, he came from Jiangxi with his troops. , won the trust, Shan Zhou nodded to King Ning, King Ning understood, the troops had settled down, and waiting for his military order, he was in a good mood immediately, whipping his horse and galloping towards the outskirts of the city.

"Your Majesty!" With a loud voice behind him, King Ning reined in his horse very quickly, the horse neighed, and its front hooves jumped high off the ground. King Ning controlled it and spun several times in place. At this time, the spies had already arrived at King Ning. Side, "My lord, the emperor is behind me, and I'm chasing him alone on horseback."

"What?" King Ning didn't have time to respond.

"My lord, the emperor just came out of the palace and came to you alone on horseback." The spies repeated.

King Ning grasped the whip tightly, and King Zheng could ambush him if he retreated. If King Zheng didn’t retreat, his own army would force him to submit. King Ning would clean up King Zheng in one fell swoop, and take advantage of the situation to wipe out all the four kings. This is a very critical moment. Why is the emperor here?King Ning frowned, his horse couldn't bear the master to tighten the reins, its front hooves jumped up and neighed again as if to urge it.

King Ning was silent for a moment, he straightened his horse's head, and ordered to the spies, "Don't bother with the rear, just step back!"

"Yes!" The spy took the order and disappeared in an instant.

King Ning turned his head and shouted directly to the people behind him and Shan Zhou, "Follow me out of the city!"

On the western outskirts of the city, King Zheng put on armor in the army, and with a sword in his hand, he slashed the table in front of him. Tired of rushing back to the feudal land, what is annoying is King Ning, who is always stumbling against each other. Today is just right, when the two armies meet, Zhu Chenhao must be taught.

King Ning galloped for several miles, with the strong wind whistling beside his ears. He hadn't galloped freely for a long time. There was a vast battlefield in front of him. He personally paved the chess game with mountains and rivers as the board. King Ning took a deep breath of the wild air. The prosperous and beautiful fragrance is far inferior to the pure nature of the mountains and plains. Not long after, he saw his own flag. King Ning was stationed on the hill to observe the surrounding terrain. At this moment, he heard someone calling from behind, "My lord, stay here ! The prince accepts the order!"

King Ning turned his eyebrows back, unwilling to do so, he saw a galloping horse galloping towards him, his figure was quite familiar, when the man approached, it was indeed Ji Rong, "Your Majesty!" Ji Rong jumped off the horse and knelt down on one knee, Without looking at King Ning's face, "Pass on the emperor's will and wait in place."

"!" King Ning was just about to speak, but was suppressed by reason. He slowly relaxed his shoulders, got off his horse and cupped his hands, "I obey the order!" Ji Rong said out of the desire to save his life, "That, my lord, your majesty, Hmm..." King Ning made a sharp glance, Ji Rong fell silent, King Ning has such beautiful eyes, it's a pity to stare at him like this all the time, those eyes are really beautiful when he is kindly facing the emperor.While daydreaming aimlessly, Ji Rong retreated to the side while picking up the fun. The emperor ordered to stop King Ning and hold him. Ji Rong turned his eyes to the sky and stared at King Ning from the corner of his eye. The emperor was already here. On the way, in order to protect the emperor, he went out of the palace privately, of course he still kept it secret, and there were others present, so he did not expressly inform King Ning.

King Ning whispered to Shan Zhou, who was protecting him beside him, "Lead the elite men and horses to come here to respond, and the rest of the army will keep an eye on King Zheng's movements. If there is any change in King Zheng, everything will go according to plan, understand?"

"My subordinates understand that Ye Zi and Chui Hua are always monitoring King Zheng's army, and they should withdraw at this time, and my subordinates ordered them to protect the prince." Shan Zhou understood the current situation, and even more insight into King Ning's unfinished words. He jumped on his horse and withdrew with his entourage to deal with King Ning's important affairs.

King Ning glanced at the sky and the sun, and estimated the time. It will be dusk in another hour. If King Zheng didn’t make any changes today, then tomorrow will be sure... Before he finished thinking, Ji Rong had already knelt down on one knee, welcoming the sound of horseshoes. For those who came, King Ning watched Zhu Houzhao rein in his horse and jumped off before he could salute. He wanted to see what kind of trick Zhu Houzhao was using. If it was really against him, this place is in the suburbs, and Ji Rong was the only one in the obvious place. , If you really do something to the emperor, you can also put the blame on King Zheng. It happens that the master is famous, and the opportunity to be disrupted by the emperor can also make up for it.

Thinking of these things, King Ning said lightly, "I have seen the emperor, and I don't know what the emperor is saying about going out of the palace in person. You shouldn't take such a risk with your body."

Zhu Houzhao has already grasped the movement of the vassal king and the army. When King Ning’s army came to the capital, he would never hand it over to the Ministry of War as he himself said. He left, just before the palace left without saying goodbye, Zhu Houzhao was inexplicably disturbed, would King Ning really have a different mind, disregarding the objections and pleas of his servants, ordered his men to prepare horses, and galloped out of the palace, bumping all the way and only cared about chasing after him. He even ordered Ji Rong, who was personally protecting him, to deliver an order to stop King Ning.It wasn't until now that he got to King Ning's side that he realized that he just wanted to see him and didn't want to be separated.

Zhu Houzhao smiled contentedly, "I have heard that my Ming soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and the emperor's uncle is even more powerful. I want to see the tens of thousands of troops of the emperor's uncle and appreciate the pride of thousands of troops."

King Ning looked at this bright yet mischievous smile, and was wondering if he was just playing for fun, when he heard two birdsong on the side of the road, which was Ye Zi's signal that she had arrived and would obey orders at any time.

"Your Majesty..." King Ning seemed to be able to hear the horn in the distance. He spoke carefully. Zhu Hou looked at King Ning in the setting sun. Then there was the sound of men and horses shouting and fighting, and the sound of weapons clashing. King Ning protected Zhu Houzhao to the side of the jungle, leaned over to hide, and Ji Rong couldn't leave even an inch. "Uncle, what's going on ahead?" The face, the two are close together, and they are in an extremely ambiguous posture.

"It should be King Zheng's men who attacked," King Ning said through gritted teeth.

"King Zheng has turned his back?!" Zhu Houzhao straightened up abruptly, and was pushed back behind the bushes by Ji Rong and King Ning. "Your Majesty, King Zheng is rebellious and rebellious. The humble ministers and horses have arrived, so go and deal with him!" King Ning turned his face to look at Zhu Houzhao's invitation, and his words were forceful.

"Okay! Uncle Emperor! I will go with you!" Zhu Houzhao was more passionate than King Ning.Ji Rong vomited blood and howled inwardly.

"Your Majesty, if a traitor makes trouble, you should sit in the capital and the palace, that's what the emperor does." King Ning slowed down his tone, comforting like a child.

Only then did Zhu Houzhao suddenly realize, "But, King Zheng is immortal, so I feel uneasy... and the other kings, will they have trouble together?"

They had acted together a long time ago, and King Ning slandered, with a very solemn face, "I am willing to wipe out the traitors for the emperor!"

Zhu Houzhao refused to let go, "I also want to kill King Zheng!" King Ning cast his eyes on Ji Rong, the meaning is obvious, why not tie him back quickly.

Ji Rong risked his life and said, "Your Majesty, you will hinder King Ning's battle here. At that time, you will be in the army, and your dragon robe will be conspicuous. King Zheng and others will definitely attack you with all their strength. King Ning will command Dajun, I have to protect you again, so I will inevitably be distracted and affect the enemy." King Ning wanted to kill Ji Rong for a moment, but he didn't change his upright expression.

The shouts of killing were getting closer, and the noise of weapons clashing flowed in the air. How could the battle between the two armies advance so quickly?King Ning was suspicious, so he had to advise, "Your majesty's place is dangerous, I implore you to return to the palace! If the emperor makes a mistake, I will be blamed for death, and I have no face to face my ancestors!" King Ning quickly changed his posture and knelt down on one knee , earnestly said to Zhu Houzhao.

"This..." Zhu Houzhao has never experienced war, and the blurry battlefield nearby not only stimulates his natural enthusiasm, but also provokes his inexplicable fear. Due to his identity, he cannot go to the front line in person, and he longs for the excitement of going to the battlefield with King Ning , was obliterated little by little by King Ning.

"Your Majesty! When you return to the palace, you can mobilize the defenders of the capital to support King Ning." Ji Rong finally choked out a few words.

"Your Majesty, the thieves outside the city are rebelling. Only you can calm people down in the city. Otherwise, the people in the capital will be unstable. If the four kings take advantage of it again, there will be chaos in the city, and the consequences will be unimaginable." King Ning pushed Zhu Houzhao towards Ji Rong as he spoke. Then he brought the imperial horse, Zhu Houzhao frowned, and let King Ning manipulate him, Ji Rong led him and rode away quickly, and the horse galloped away quickly, Zhu Houzhao turned his head reluctantly on the horse's back, looking at King Ning's face The figure disappeared without changing posture.

"My lord," Ye Zi and Chui Hua finally showed up to salute, "My lord has long wanted to take advantage of the chaos... Your Majesty is here alone, why..." It's a pity that Ye Zi lost this great opportunity to kill the emperor.

"The emperor must not make mistakes in my hands. If I kill him, I will lose the hearts of the people. Only when King Zheng and the defenders of the capital confront each other, can I take advantage of the chaos to seize power..." King Ning said The sky and the earth are the blueprints in his mind. With his hands behind his back, he slightly raised his head and looked into the distance. It was dusk, King Ning turned his back against the setting sun, and his whole figure was hidden in the dark. His tall and straight figure turned into a silhouette, which is worthy of painting.insert bookmark

"My lord, we have lured King Zheng's men to the emperor, I believe you will soon realize your wish." Chuhua heard a horn, which was the signal from Shan Zhou.

Not necessarily, King Ning was bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun. Although he made every step of the way and both parties were in his own calculations, his intuition told him that the emperor would never come alone. Not only were there Jin Yiwei behind him, maybe the imperial army was nearby.

Zhu Houzhao hadn't run for a few miles, Jin Yiwei and a hundred imperial guards surrounded him, guarding him and rushing towards the city.Ji Rong looked at the emperor's face. The situation of the four kings' rebellion was critical, but he was very happy. He was deeply incompetent, so he had to keep vigilant. Zhu Houzhao didn't care who would support him. As long as King Ning supported him, this country was meaningful. He did not hesitate to appear on the stage in person He tested King Ning's loyalty and learned about King Ning's actions. He was extremely satisfied. If King Zheng made trouble, he could only seek his own death. There was no excuse to eliminate the power of the vassal king, so he used this time to completely suppress the four kings.

King Ning took a few steps forward with his hands behind his back, and the sound of the confrontation between the two armies just now had faded away, "Ye Zi, go find out Fang Cai's military situation, and order Shan Zhou to rectify the army, follow King Zheng closely, and wait for me to meet up."

"Yes!"

"Chuihua, follow the emperor from afar and see what kind of tricks he is playing."

"Yes!" Chui Hua rubbed the wound on her shoulder, and was about to get up, when she saw a dazzling flash on the field, which was the reflection of weapons in the setting sun, and she immediately turned her head, "My lord!"

King Ning was obviously aware of the crisis. He turned around suddenly and saw all the archers in ambush behind him, their bows were full and their arrows were pointed at him. There were a hundred of them, and there were more soldiers gathered in the distance.

King Ning's sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, but the other party did not give him time to breathe, and immediately fired several arrows at once. At the very moment, King Ning jumped into the air and flipped his clothes to fly, dodging thousands of arrows like a fleeting shadow, blowing flowers There were injuries hindering the movement. When he was stabbed in the chest by an arrow and fell to the ground, King Ning stood firm and grabbed the last fatal arrow that was shot at the front door with his bare hands. The leader of the opponent was here, otherwise the troops would not Ordered to attack together, he planned to be calm and fearless in the face of danger. On the contrary, he increased his arrogance to meet the enemy, and ruthlessly threw the feather arrow in his hand to the ground.

King Zheng would not know that King Ning dodged the arrow and caught the arrow with his bare hands. Half of his skills were practiced with the prince in the south of the Yangtze River. Excitedly, he walked out from behind the archer, stroking his palms and admiringly, "As expected of King Ning, he is very good at archery and skillful."

King Ning was in a dangerous situation, and his anger was on his face. He had been hostile to King Zheng for a long time, so he was too lazy to be polite, and said coldly, "Using a woman as a spy is so insidious, and only you can do it." King Zheng said contemptuously. The smile deepened, and he gave him a thumbs up directly and ironically.King Ning glanced at Chui Hua, who was fatally wounded and fell to the ground. Chui Hua was also looking at King Ning, her eyes were calm and determined. She was dying soon, not only as a burden to King Ning, but once captured by the enemy, she would be severely punished. Torture only increased the pain, now I just begged King Ning to give her a break, King Ning let out a sigh of relief, leaned over and quickly pulled out the saber at Chuhua's waist, the blade slashed across her throat, killing her on the spot.

King Ning looked at her corpse with a sword in his hand, and pretended to be resentful, saying to King Zheng, "It's more than a failure, and it has attracted the enemy! All my plans have been ruined!"

Zheng Wang saw the blood dripping from the sword tip, Ning Wang was furious, and felt emotional in his heart, although he knew that Ning Wang's gentleness was an illusion, but he never expected to be so cruel and decisive, but this strong opponent has been defeated by himself, and he couldn't help but feel very proud. "I've seen through your plan a long time ago. You just ordered a small group of people to feint to attack my army. It's just a bluff to force me to attack. Not only that, but you even sent people to wear dragon robes to pretend to be the emperor and lure my army to pursue it. You Stay here and prepare to cut off my rear, and encircle me with your former army, haha, thank you for thinking of it, ordering someone to wear a dragon robe to pretend to be the emperor, will the emperor appear here alone? Being confused is fatal, I am smarter than you, your tricks will not succeed, I will just wait here to kill you." After saying that, he looked up to the sky and laughed.

King Ning was at a loss for words for a while, and he tried to persuade the emperor to retreat, but he came to welcome King Zheng's bait. It was really a coincidence that he became a "loyal minister and good general".His righteous indignation was hard to appease, his eyes were ruthless, and he gritted his teeth at King Zheng, "It's just you? You want to catch me? Don't forget, I have tens of thousands of troops here!" King Ning said in a clear voice, even if he was alone Falling into a dangerous situation, there is also an absolute momentum that makes people have to look sideways.

"Hahahaha, it's true that you have a large army, but you didn't expect that the arrow just now was covered with poison!" King Zheng became more ecstatic when he saw King Ning was in trouble, and laughed several times.A group of people gathered behind him and surrounded King Ning alone.

"!" King Ning hated these indiscriminate poisons the most. He stretched out his hand and saw that the palm of his hand was black, and the toxin spread along the meridians of the skin. His entire right hand was numb, and his right arm was also full of pain.He directly raised his sword with his left hand and stabbed at King Zheng,

King Zheng stopped the archer's attack, and also took the sword from his subordinates, "I have heard that King Ning is very skilled in martial arts, and today I will come to learn from him."

King Ning only wanted a quick battle. King Zheng blocked King Ning's deadly slash with a horizontal knife, and then swung the knife towards King Ning's chest with full force. The short sword in King Ning's hand was for self-defense. Unable to compete with the treasured sword, King Zheng attacked with all his strength. King Ning could only fight and retreat, reluctantly coping. The violent movements caused the toxin to spread rapidly along the meridian. King Ning already felt chest tightness, blurred vision, and no longer agility. After receiving the first move from King Zheng, the tip of the sword swayed and attacked King Zheng's left chest. When King Zheng closed the move, he took a step forward and wanted to retreat. When King Zheng's sword retreated, the other hand directly slashed. To the left chest of King Ning, King Ning, who could have escaped, was unable to perform his lightness kung fu to the extreme due to toxins, and was hindered by his actions. Unable to control his moves any longer, he fell straight into the air. He tried his best to turn his body in the air, so as to avoid his forehead landing on the ground and his death.

After falling to the ground, his back was in severe pain. King Ning couldn't get up for a while, and swallowed the fishy sweetness in his throat. King Zheng's blade was already lying on his neck. no sound.

"Don't move! I advise you to be quiet, your life is in my hands now, Zhu Chenhao, I will give you a good time." Zheng Wang subdued his old enemy, he was in a great mood, looking down at Ning Wang who was lying on the ground. appearance, and laughed even more presumptuously.

The long hair on King Ning's back was gathered together with the headband and scattered on the right side of his chest. He had no time to pay attention, coughed a few times, and said with a calm sneer, "King Zheng, you can't kill me."

King Zheng was curious, lest he really missed out on some benefits, King Ning was so talented and handsome, even King Zheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion at that smile just now.
