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

Chapter 97 Jiang Li: Please let the Queen Mother die!

"call"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Tang He, and asked: "Tang He, do you think we really did something wrong back then?"

Tang He was silent for a moment, then raised his head, looked Zhu Yuanzhang in the eye, and said with a firm expression: "Your Majesty, you were wrong back then!"

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and a little dazed.

In his memory, Tang He was a cautious person, but the look in front of him was very rare.

After a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, a bitter look on his face, and said, "Time cannot be reversed. Even if we made a mistake, there is no way to make up for it. However, now Yunhu has regained everything with his own ability. From now on, it depends on how he governs the Ming Dynasty."

After he finished speaking, a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes. He really wanted to see how far Zhu Yunhuan, the true dragon emperor, could take the Ming Dynasty.

Tang He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with hesitation and said, "Your Majesty, will you go to see the Emperor's grandson Yunhu?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes were a little dazed.

After a long while, he took a long breath and said, "Not for now, but if there is a chance in the future, I will go!"

Tang He nodded and said nothing more.

"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tang He bowed and turned to leave.

Duke Xin’s Mansion!

Tang He returned home with a somewhat sad look on his face.

Time flies, and more than ten days have passed.

More than ten days ago, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to go to Fengyang and find an opportunity to save Zhu Yunhuan's life.

A dozen days later, he returned to Yingtian Prefecture.

In just over ten days, the world changed dramatically and Yingtian Prefecture had a new owner.

"This trip to Fengyang is really worth it!" Tang He took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face.

When he first arrived in Fengyang, he tried his best to persuade Zhu Yunhuan to surrender, but Zhu Yunhuan did not accept it. Looking back now, his persuasion to surrender was a bit too ridiculous.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that after Zhu Yunhuan refused to surrender, he did not leave Fengyang, but chose to stay in Fengyang, and in the following time, he formed a good relationship with Zhu Yunhuan.

This good fortune was the greatest gain of his trip to Fengyang.

"Dad, you're back!" Tang Wei ran over with a happy face.

When Tang He was about to go to Fengyang, he was very worried, fearing that something might happen to Tang He in Fengyang.

Fortunately, Tang He finally returned safely.

"I'm back!" Tang He nodded with a smile and said, "I'll take you to meet the Emperor's grandson Yun Hun when I find a time. You should help him in the future."

"Ah? Helping the grandson of the emperor Yunhu?" Tang Wei was stunned when he heard that.

He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive. Although Zhu Yunhuan had successfully entered Yingtian Prefecture, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes he was definitely a rebel. There was absolutely no doubt about that. Now his father actually asked him to work for Zhu Yunhuan. If Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this, how would he explain it?

"Ah, what? You have to help the grandson of the emperor Yunhu when the time comes. Do you understand?" Tang He frowned and was submissive to others, but when he scolded his son, he would hit him hard.

"Oh!" Tang Wei nodded and hesitated, "Father, I have no problem helping the Emperor's grandson Yun Hun, but what about His Majesty? Furthermore, the princes are rushing towards Yingtian Prefecture one after another. Can the Emperor's grandson Yun Hun stop them?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry about it. I will handle it. Now that the grandson of Emperor Yunhu has taken the throne, it is an inevitable trend. As for the vassal kings, they are no match for the grandson of Emperor Yunhu." Tang He waved his hand.

Tang Wei raised his head, looked at Tang He, and said, "Dad, are you so optimistic about the emperor's grandson Yun Hun?"

Tang He smiled wryly and said, "You'll understand once you witness the combat effectiveness of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."

"Are the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry really that powerful?" Tang Wei was full of curiosity.

Tang He shook his head and said seriously, "It's not very powerful, but invincible!"

"Invincible?" Tang Wei was dumbfounded.

Tang He waved his hand and said, "Alright, no matter how much I tell you now, it won't be as good as you seeing it with your own eyes when the time comes. Anyway, just know that I won't harm you. Go down!"

"Oh!" Tang Wei nodded and left with a confused look on his face. "The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, are their combat capabilities really that terrifying?"

at the same time!

The princes who were on the road all received the news of the fall of Yingtian Prefecture, and their faces were all full of disbelief.

"What's going on? Did Yingtian Prefecture just fall like that? Is this true?"

"No way? Didn't Zhu Yunhuan just reach Yingtian Prefecture? Didn't Yingtian Prefecture hold out for even a single day? What's going on?"

"Hiss, Yingtian Prefecture was captured in one day. This kid Yunxun is quite powerful!"

"He remained unscathed by a barrage of arrows? The gates of Yingtian Prefecture were shattered by heavenly fire? Is this really that outrageous? If that were true, wouldn't we be doomed to fail against Yun Hun this time?"

"You bullshit True Dragon Emperor? It's nothing more than a trick to fool people. Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Speed ​​up your march and reach Yingtian Prefecture as soon as possible to capture the traitor Zhu Yunhuan."

"Zhu Yunwen, is he a fool? He actually dared to trust that loser Li Jinglong. What on earth was he thinking? He deserved that Yingtian Prefecture was captured!"

"It's too fast! Zhu Yunhuan has already entered Yingtian Prefecture. I don't know if Zhu Yunwen can escape. If he can't escape, things will be troublesome!"

"."

The princes were shocked and angry. They were shocked that Zhu Yunwen captured Yingtian Prefecture in just one day, and they were angry that Li Jinglong had lost 500,000 soldiers and horses in Fengyang, and Zhu Yunwen still dared to let Li Jinglong defend the city.

After being shocked and angry, the princes calmed down. Since Yingtian Prefecture had been breached, there was no need for them to rush on.

In any case, in the end, there will definitely be a fight between them and Zhu Yunhuan.

Beiping, Prince Yan's Mansion!

After reading the letter in his hand, Zhu Di was also a little confused: "Yingtian Prefecture has fallen so soon?"

Yingtian Prefecture is the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty. Although the guarding force is not strong, it is still the imperial city after all!

It was captured in one day. Isn’t this a bit outrageous!
"Heavenly fire shattered the city gates."

"Li Jinglong surrenders the city!"

Zhu Di's face was gloomy, and he was extremely angry. "Jiujiang, you are very good. I originally thought you were mine, but I didn't expect that you had secretly been in cahoots with Yunxun for a long time!"

He didn't believe that the city gates could be blown up by heavenly fire. Combined with Li Jinglong's later action of opening the city and surrendering, he felt that the so-called heavenly fire might have been concocted by Li Jinglong in order to cause panic among the soldiers defending the city and thus prepare for the subsequent surrender of the city.

Also, starting from the fall of Yingtian Prefecture, and continuing to push forward the disastrous defeat of 500,000 troops in Fengyang, perhaps everything was discussed by Zhu Yunhuan and Li Jinglong?
Zhu Di took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and shouted to the outside of the door: "Someone come!"

"Your Highness, what do you want me to do for you?" A servant pushed the door open and walked in, asking respectfully.

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Go, call the monk over!"

Yingtian Prefecture has fallen, and the speed is far beyond his imagination. He feels that he can no longer wait and must send troops immediately, otherwise, he will really be finished.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The servant nodded and turned to leave.

"Idiot Zhu Yunwen, you actually let Li Jinglong defend the city. What were you thinking? He lost 500,000 soldiers in Fengyang. Have you forgotten that?" Zhu Di couldn't help but curse.

The development of the matter was beyond his expectations and caught him off guard.

He knew in his heart that with the fall of Yingtian Prefecture, it was a little late to send troops now.

After a while.

Yao Guangxiao pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "Prince, are you looking for me?"

Zhu Di nodded, his face full of bitterness, and said: "I just received news that Yingtian Prefecture has fallen, Yunhuan has entered Yingtian Prefecture, and Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts are unknown."

"Huh?" Yao Guangxiao was stunned upon hearing this, his face filled with disbelief. "Your Highness, what's going on? Yingtian Prefecture is the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty. How could it be captured in just one day?"

It would be fine if other cities were captured in one day, but was Yingtianfu, the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, also captured in one day?
Is the combat effectiveness of Zhu Yunhuan's troops so terrifying?

"It's all Zhu Yunwen's fault, that idiot. He let Li Jinglong defend the city!" Zhu Di said angrily, and then told Yao Guangxiao his guess.

Yao Guangxiao frowned, thought for a moment and said, "What on earth is Li Jinglong doing?"

As far as he knew, Li Jinglong was highly valued by Zhu Yunwen.

When he was already highly valued, he turned around and supported Zhu Yunhuan. Could Zhu Yunhuan treat Li Jinglong better after he took the throne?
"Who knows, maybe he is just stupid." Zhu Di said. He hated Li Jinglong very much in his heart. When he thought of the correspondence between him and Li Jinglong in the past, he felt sick!
Blame him for being too naive and not being able to tell the difference between a human and a dog.

After all, I paid by mistake!
Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Di's expression and tactfully skipped the topic, saying, "Your Majesty, should we send troops now?"

"Of course, otherwise we really won't be able to catch up." Zhu Di looked helpless.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

At this time, there was a hurried knock on the door, and Zhang Wu's voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, there is a letter from Yingtian Prefecture." "Another letter?" Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao looked at each other.

The next second, Zhu Di stood up, walked forward to open the door, and took the letter from Zhang Wu's hand.

Zhang Wu bowed and turned to leave.

Zhu Di closed the door, opened the letter, and quickly read the contents. He looked a little surprised: "This..."

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Yao Guangxiao asked when he saw Zhu Di's expression.

Zhu Di frowned and said, "This letter was given to me by Yun Hun. He wrote to me to ask why I didn't lead the troops to Yingtian Prefecture, and to invite me to lead the troops to Yingtian Prefecture now."

"What?" Yao Guangxiao looked shocked.

Zhu Yunhuan wrote a letter to Zhu Di, asking him why he did not lead his troops to Yingtian Prefecture, and also took the initiative to invite Zhu Di to lead his troops to Yingtian Prefecture. This always felt like something was strange.

"Master, what do you think Yunhu means?" Zhu Di turned his head to look at Yao Guangxiao with a frown.

He had already decided to lead his troops to Yingtian Prefecture after daybreak, but now that Zhu Yunhuan had done this, he suddenly hesitated.

Yingtian Prefecture, is there any trap?

Yao Guangxiao lowered his head in thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "Your Highness, I don't know what the Emperor Yunhu is up to. Perhaps he's trying to scare you, or perhaps he's dug a trap and is waiting for you."

"Should we still start a rebellion?" Zhu Di's face was dark and he looked a little crazy.

Zhu Yunhuan's letter came at such a coincidence. If it had come earlier or later, it would not have made him so upset. If it had come earlier, he would not have started the rebellion, and if it had come later, he would have already set off. But he just happened to receive it at this moment.

Yao Guangxiao hesitated for a moment and said, "How about sending the three guards of Duoyan to investigate?"

Kunning Palace!
Lu sat quietly, waiting for the verdict of fate.

At this moment, her face was full of bitterness. She had been scheming for her whole life, and finally let her son sit on the throne. As a result, before he could even sit on it, he was driven off the throne and even his life was in danger.

"Alas," Lu let out a long sigh.

She couldn't understand how Zhu Yunhuan could be the true dragon emperor, since she had clearly ruined him.

"If I had known this would happen, I should have been more decisive and killed him directly. If that had been the case, there wouldn't be such a disaster today."

"Boom!"

Jiang Li walked over with an expressionless face.

When Mrs. Lu heard the noise, she looked up with a look of surprise in her eyes: "Jiang Li?"

She thought the visitor was someone related to Zhu Yunhuan, but unexpectedly it was Jiang Lin, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother!" Jiang Li came before Lu and knelt down in worship.

"Queen Mother?"

A trace of bitterness appeared on Mrs. Lu's face. She said, "Get up. From now on, I'm afraid I'm no longer the Queen Mother."

She knew very well that Zhu Yunhuan would never recognize her.

Although it was difficult to depose her from the position of empress dowager, Zhu Yunhuan would certainly try every possible means, and the ministers in the court would certainly be very happy to use her to please Zhu Yunhuan.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Jiang Li stood up.

Mrs. Lu looked at Jiang Li with a puzzled look in her eyes and said, "Jiang Li, why are you coming to me instead of going to greet Zhu Yunhuan?"

Jiang Li remained silent.

It was not that he did not go to greet Zhu Yunhuan, but that he had already gone to greet him. Now, he came to see Lu off on Zhu Yunhuan's orders.

Mrs. Lu waited for Jiang Li's reply for a long time, and gradually realized that something was wrong. Her face turned cold and she said, "You have already met Zhu Yunhuan, right?"

"Yes!" Jiang Li nodded.

Lu was silent for a moment, looking at Jiang Li with cold eyes, and said, "Tell me, what did Zhu Yunhuan ask you to do?"

Jiang Li looked up at Lady Lu and said, "Grandson Yun Hu asked me to tell the Queen Mother that he's back!"

"Hmm?" Mrs. Lu was stunned and frowned. Zhu Yunhuan was back. Did he need to send someone to tell her?

She wasn't stupid, and soon figured it out. She stood up suddenly, her expression filled with shock and anger, "Zhu Yunhuan actually dared to kill me!"

Although she brought Zhu Yunhuan to ruin and helped her son Zhu Yunwen seize the throne that originally belonged to Zhu Yunhuan, she was still Zhu Biao's legal wife no matter what, and Zhu Yunhuan had to call her mother on the surface!

Now Zhu Yunhuan actually wants to kill her!
Jiang Li did not respond. Lu must die tonight no matter what, and there would be no trace pointing to Zhu Yunhuan.

"Get out! If Zhu Yunhuan wants to kill me, let him do it himself. I'll be waiting for him in Kunning Palace!" Lu roared.

She really didn't believe that Zhu Yunhuan would risk the wrath of the world to kill his mother!
This is also the real reason why she did not escape from Yingtian Prefecture.

Jiang Li's face was expressionless as he said, "Empress Dowager, things have come to this point. Why bother? It's better to be respectful!"

Now the entire Yingtian Prefecture has fallen into the control of Zhu Yunhuan. The life and death of everyone depends on Zhu Yunhuan's decision, even Zhu Yuanzhang who is faking his death.

In this situation, Lu's futile struggle was useless!

Mrs. Lu's expression was uncertain, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes. At this moment, she was finally afraid.

Her head raced, thinking of a way to escape.

Jiang Li took out a wine jug from his arms, stepped forward and poured a full cup for Lu, then stepped aside.

Mrs. Lu took a deep breath and said, "You can leave first. I'll help me collect the body later!"

Jiang Li didn't move and just stood there quietly.

"What? You won't even give me the last bit of solitude?" Mrs. Lu said angrily.

Jiang Li looked calm, like a wooden man.

Mrs. Lu stared at Jiang Li for a while, and suddenly smiled. She knew that she had no hope of survival.

She stood up, stepped forward, and tremblingly picked up the wine glass. She tried her best to calm herself down and said, "Before you die, can you answer my last question?"

"Please speak, Queen Mother!" Jiang Li said.

Mrs. Lu looked up at Jiang Li and said, "Yun Wen, did he get away?"

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty has not been arrested, but his whereabouts are unknown."

"Missing?" Mrs. Lu had been staring at the changes in Jiang Li's expression. She could confirm that Jiang Li was not lying at this time, which made her feel a little relieved.

Although there was no definite news of Zhu Yunwen's escape, it was okay that his whereabouts were unknown, at least he did not fall into the hands of Zhu Yunhuan.

"The princes are already on the way, Zhu Yunhuan, I'll be waiting for you underground!" A hint of resentment flashed in Lu's eyes, and she raised her head and drank the poisoned wine in the cup.

Jiang Li bent down and said respectfully, "We respectfully invite the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty to embark on her journey!"

The palace!

Zhu Yunhuan asked Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Neng, Ma Sanbao, Li Jinglong, Tie Xuan, Sheng Yong and others to withdraw, and walked alone in the palace.

At this moment, the imperial palace has been controlled by the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and their figures can be seen everywhere.

"Bah!"

"Bah!"

"Bah!"

Zhu Yunhuan walked step by step.

He walked very slowly, and stopped from time to time to look around.

"Grandson Yunxun!"

"Grandson Yunxun!"

"."

When the palace maids and eunuchs saw Zhu Yunhuan, they all bent down and knelt in fear, trembling in their hearts.

They clearly understood that the handsome young man in front of them had now become the controller of the Ming Dynasty. With just a word, he could make people's heads roll down and decide their life or death.

"Get up!" Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand and said softly.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The palace maids and eunuchs stood up tremblingly, secretly looking at Zhu Yunhuan. The new master of the Ming Dynasty did not seem as scary as they had imagined.
