My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 609 Entering the capital
Zhu Yong held up his binoculars, and when he saw the cavalry coming from a distance, a solemn look appeared on his face.

At a glance, he saw the "Han" flag in the opponent's army, which meant that the opponent was the cavalry of the Han Dynasty. Especially the man at the front was tall and tall. It was Zhu Gaoxu, whom he had not seen for many years.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu leading his troops to kill, Zhu Yong also felt a complicated feeling in his heart.

Yesterday afternoon, Zhu Yong received news from the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army that Yangwu Marquis Xue Lu led [-] troops and left the capital for Tianjin. The purpose was to intercept Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanhe and his son from entering the capital.

What made Zhu Yong even more angry was that this order was actually issued by Zhu Zhanji himself, and he also bypassed the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War. Only after Xue Lu left with his troops did the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion get the news.

Zhu Gaoxu was originally asked to come back from Tianzhu, but it was Zhu Gaochi's personal order. As a result, Zhu Gaoxu finally came back after traveling thousands of miles, but Zhu Zhanji issued an imperial edict that did not allow Zhu Gaoxu to enter Beijing. This was simply a deliberate humiliation of Zhu Gaoxu. I am afraid that everyone I can't swallow this breath.

Therefore, after Zhu Yong learned about this yesterday, he immediately went to the palace to see Zhu Zhanji and asked him to take back his life. However, he did not expect that Zhu Zhanji did not even see him at all, but instead had people drive him out of the imperial city.

After all, Zhu Yong was also a prince and a cabinet minister in the two dynasties of Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi. However, Zhu Zhanji did not leave him any sympathy. This was the main reason why Zhu Yong had been so grumpy in the past two days.

Now seeing Zhu Gaoxu coming from the direction of Tianjin, Zhu Yong immediately guessed what was going on. It seemed that Zhu Gaoxu couldn't swallow his bad breath and directly raised his troops to attack the capital.

As for Xue Lu and the others, I am afraid that the situation is now in danger. Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu knew the importance of military speed and led his troops to attack the capital. This was obviously because he wanted to react before the court, directly enter the imperial city and control Zhu Zhanji. Thereby holding the emperor hostage to order the princes.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yong's heart jumped suddenly. Is the incident of Jingnan going to be repeated again today?
"My lord, the enemy is about to attack the city gate. You'd better order the city gate to be closed as soon as possible!"

At this time, a general guarding the gate reminded Zhu Yong loudly.

Any army that does not notify the city gate in advance will be dealt with as the enemy according to the rules. Therefore, closing the city gate is the first thing to do. If the opponent dares to attack the city gate, the defenders will immediately launch an attack and eliminate the opponent in the city. outside the door.

"Why are the city gates closed? Didn't you see that the other party was using the banner of Prince Han's Palace?"

Zhu Yong put down the telescope in his hand, then glared at his subordinates fiercely and said.

"But……"

The guard wanted to say something more, but was interrupted again by Zhu Yong: "It's nothing to worry about. The late emperor has long issued an order to summon the King of Han to the capital to bury Emperor Taizong. The King of Han has a distinguished status. Of course he must bring a bodyguard when he travels. There is no need to make a fuss. !”

Hearing what Zhu Yong said, the guard did not dare to say anything more and had to step aside silently.

Zhu Yong looked at the cavalry of the Han Palace getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.

The reason why Zhu Yong refused to close the city gate was that, apart from his personal relationship with Zhu Zhanhe, the most important thing was that they, Chengguo Gongfu, originally relied on Jing Nan to make their fortune. Otherwise, his father Zhu Neng would be just a deputy Qianhu. It was because he followed the right person that he became the Duke of the country.

Now seeing that Zhu Gaoxu is about to face another crisis, Zhu Yong certainly cannot let go of this opportunity, so he decided to take a gamble. After all, whether it is emotional or rational, he should stand by Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanhe and his son. .

So Zhu Yong went down to the city gate and walked to the city gate. At this time, Zhu Gaoxu's cavalry happened to rush to the city gate. Zhu Gaoxu also saw Zhu Yong waiting in front of the city gate at a glance.

"The last general, Zhu Yong, respectfully welcomes His Highness the King of Han!"

Zhu Yong saluted Zhu Gaoxu loudly.Zhu Gaoxu tightened the reins at this time, and finally stopped in front of Zhu Yong, and then said happily: "You are very good, Zhan He did not misjudge the person!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. There will be a general to deal with outside the city gate. Please come into the city, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yong expressed vaguely that Zhu Zhanji never imagined that he would not give Zhu Yong orders and let him guard the city gate, but in the end he would let Zhu Yong open the door to Zhu Gaoxu. This may be called retribution.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't waste any more nonsense. He immediately nodded to Zhu Yong, then galloped on his horse again, leading his troops through the city gate and rushed into the city.

It is now the busiest time of the day in Beijing, and the streets are crowded with people. But when they see Zhu Gaoxu’s army entering the city, the people are frightened and dodge. After all, no matter what era, they can’t block the army’s path forward. .

What's more, Zhu Gaoxu's cavalry fought against Xue Lu's army in Tianjin. Many soldiers were covered in large amounts of blood and exuded a cold murderous aura. This murderous aura alone was enough to make people retreat.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu and the others crossed the street without any hindrance, passed through Nancheng all the way, and entered the inner city of Beijing.

It wasn't until the army passed through the Zhengyang Gate and headed towards the Imperial City that someone finally rushed into the Imperial City to report to Zhu Zhanji. It's no wonder that their movements were too slow, mainly because Zhu Gaoxu's movements were too fast.

"Something bad has happened. The King of Han has led his army into the city!"

An eunuch ran into Wuying Hall in a panic and shouted to Zhu Zhanji loudly.

Zhu Zhanji was discussing matters with Xia Yuanji, Jian Yi and other cabinet ministers. When he heard the eunuch's report, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't react at all. Instead, he wondered if he had heard it wrong?
"What did you say? How could the King of Han possibly enter the capital?"

Xia Yuanji was the first to react and immediately grabbed the eunuch's collar and asked eagerly.

"Slave... I don't know. Someone outside just reported that the King of Han led his cavalry to attack the imperial city. It is estimated that they have reached the gate of the imperial city by now!"

The eunuch was trembling with fear, but he still stammered out the news he had learned.

"Impossible! This is impossible. I have sent Xue Lu to intercept the King of Han. How could he reach the capital?"

Zhu Zhanji finally reacted at this time and immediately shouted in disbelief.

After hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Xia Yuanji, Jian Yi and others couldn't help but look at each other. Then they all lowered their heads and no one spoke again.

In fact, yesterday Zhu Zhanji suddenly sent Xue Lu and his troops to intercept Zhu Gaoxu. He did not discuss this matter with anyone in advance. The cabinet was also kept in the valley. It was not until the news came out that Xia Yuanji and others came to persuade Zhu Zhan. Key, begging him to withdraw his order.

Zhu Gaojiu returned to Beijing, firstly because of Zhu Gaochi's permission, and secondly, as the son of a man, it was reasonable for Zhu Gaoxu to come to attend the funeral for Zhu Di. What's more, now that Zhu Gaochi has also passed away, Zhu Gaoxu should come back.

As a result, Zhu Zhanji did not ask anyone's opinion, and directly asked Xue Lu to lead his troops to intercept and prohibit Zhu Gaoxu from returning to Beijing. This was simply a deliberate humiliation of Zhu Gaoxu. No wonder Zhu Gaoxu got angry.

　There will be only two chapters today. What follows is a climax, and the plot needs to be sorted out.
