Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 398: Fire
When the emperor's chariot arrived at the city gate, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi and their son saw that the city gate was closed. The officers and soldiers on the top of the city gate seemed to be facing a great enemy, and the guards guarding the city were persuading the men and horses outside the city gate: "His Royal Highness the King of Han, I have already sent someone to report to Your Majesty. You wait outside the city, as long as Your Majesty's will is When you arrive, the humble post will open the door immediately and invite His Royal Highness to enter the city..."
"Shut up! You are a small city gate general, how dare you interfere with the reunion of the Tianjia flesh and blood!" The voice of Han Wang Zhu Gaochi came from outside the city gate. After a pause, he continued to shout loudly: "What? When the son visits his father, he still needs someone to pass the law? This king knows that you are the prince's person. Now that Zhu Gaochi is not here, there is no need for you to be flattering here... Hurry up and open the city gate. People attack the city, and when the time comes, kill you thieves without leaving a piece of armor..."
"His Royal Highness the King of Han, you are so majestic..." Before Zhu Gaojiu finished speaking, Zhu Di had already taken Zhu Gaochi to the city gate. At this time, the officers and soldiers on the city gate tower had already knelt down to the emperor in unison. After Zhu Gaojiu outside the city gate was stunned for a moment, he also turned over and dismounted, and bowed down to the emperor on the city gate with his guards of honor.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi saw that in addition to the guard of honor, there were three or five thousand sergeants who followed his younger brother. However, it was a bit far-fetched for the army to say that he wanted to rebel. There were more than 100,000 garrison troops guarding the capital, and he was far from an opponent. The prince also deliberately looked for the figure of Eunuch He in the crowd. After looking around, he could not find any trace of this eunuch.
Zhu Gaojiu didn't expect his father to come so soon. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly burst into tears. While crying bitterly, he knelt down and kowtowed to his father. Zhu Di frowned and said to his second son, "His Royal Highness the King of Han, are you here for the funeral? Beast, you are kneeling outside the city gate and crying because you are looking forward to me. Die sooner!"
While crying bitterly, Zhu Gaojiu said: "Father, your old man has misunderstood... Half a month ago, my son had a nightmare, dreaming that the prince suddenly attacked... He played tricks to collude with Wu Mian, return or return, etc. The monk imprisoned your old man in the palace. Forcing you to give up the throne to him, father, you have suffered humiliation. The son was worried that this nightmare would come true, so he brought his troops to King Qin... The son was afraid that he would be invited to the capital. The crown prince's party's defense, so he entered the capital without a clear edict... Seeing that your father is all right, the son is relieved..."
After listening to Zhu Gaojiu's words, Zhu Xi calmly glanced at the prince standing beside him. At this time, Zhu Gaochi didn't seem to have heard the words of the King of Han, and he didn't even mean to argue.
"Zhu Gaojiu! You are dreaming that the prince will harm me, so you will come to King Qin. If you dream that I will give you the country, will you still bring the army to Jingnan?" Zhu Di After sneering, he continued to say to his second son: "Zhu Gaojiu, you will be punished for entering the city by yourself, and the troops you brought will be taken care of by the soldiers and horses of the five cities. ."
When the emperor spoke, tens of thousands of imperial guards in the city had already arrived. Only then did the sergeant guarding the city have a bottom line, and ordered someone to open the city gate and let Zhu Gaojiu, the king of Han, enter the city alone. If there is any change in the army of the King of Han outside, the army in the city rushes out, and the thousands of troops outside can be directly washed away.
Zhu Gaojiu hardly hesitated. After giving a few words to the thousands of households around him, he took off the service of the lord and walked into the capital wearing only his underwear. After King Han entered the city, the army in the city rushed out to disarm the thousands of soldiers and horses outside, and took care of these sergeants in place.
Seeing that King Han's army was detained in a blink of an eye, Zhu Di did not let his second son come to plead. He just ordered Zhu Gaojiu to be taken care of, and then made a few more orders. He dismissed all the officials in the vassal of the Han Dynasty, and then asked Zhu Gaojiu's route from Shandong to Beijing, and detained all the civil and military officials along the way. How could these officials not know that the feudal lord entered Beijing with such a big momentum.
After several decrees were issued, Zhu Di returned to the jade carriage with Zhu Gaochi and continued to march towards the palace.
This time back in Yulian, the father and son did not speak, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. Seeing that he was about to arrive at the palace, Zhu Di finally said, "Prince, what do you think Zhu Gaojiu entered Beijing without an order this time?"
After a slight smile, Zhu Gaochi replied, "Your Majesty, from the perspective of my ministers, King Han was disturbed by a nightmare. I was worried about your life and death, Your Majesty, so I rashly entered the capital..."
"What do you think?" Zhu Di glanced at his fat son, and then continued: "Then he said in his dream that you colluded with Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and others to force me to cede the throne. Give you this prince, how do you explain this?"
"This should be explained by the King of Han, right?" Zhu Gaochi smiled and continued: "The dream was made by the King of Han, and Erchen really doesn't know how he made this dream, so naturally there is no way to explain it."
When he said this, the prince paused for a while, and after glancing at his father, he continued: "And saying that I colluded with such great monks as Wu Mian and Gui Bugui, then I still need to force Your Majesty to abdicate. Is it? The prince is the heir of the country, and I have the help of those great monks, which means that Daming has the help of these people. My position as a prince is stable, how can I force His Majesty to abdicate? To seek this eternal infamy?"
It makes sense to hear what Zhu Gaochi said, and Zhu Di didn't say much. At this time, the jade chariot had already arrived at the palace, and according to the rules, even the prince could not ride the jade chariot with the emperor in the palace. At the moment, Zhu Gaochi got off the jade carriage and accompanied Zhu Di to continue walking towards the palace.
But just after he took a few steps, he heard his father's voice in the jade chariot: "Prince, you have worked hard this way, you don't have to accompany me. Go back to your womb to rest early, and I will naturally have something to do. Announcing your..."
Zhu Gaochi didn't care about Zhu Di's two words, he saluted the emperor in the jade carriage. After watching Yu Nian leave, he walked towards his womb with the company of a few eunuchs close to him.
Seeing that I had seen Tai's uterus far away, there was a sudden loud noise behind me. When Zhu Gaochi and the others looked back, they saw thick smoke billowing from the location of the emperor's bedroom. Amidst the smoke, there was a faint glow of fire.
After seeing this scene, Zhu Gaochi did not dare to hesitate at all, and hurriedly led the eunuchs, guards and others around him and ran towards the place where the thick smoke was coming out. On the way, I met several eunuchs and guards and asked them what happened. However, these people were also dazed, and they didn't know what was going on.
Not long after, the prince ran to the emperor's palace with his people, and saw countless eunuchs and guards rushing towards the palace with buckets in their hands. The palace of this matter is already a sea of fire, and someone can still hear screams inside. At this time, Zhu Gaochi saw the **** Bingbi standing outside the palace, and after asking him, he realized that the emperor was still in the palace and did not come out.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi didn't care too much, and he didn't care about his identity either. He grabbed the mop in the hand of the little **** beside him. After getting wet in the bucket, he rushed to the gate of the palace and kicked the gate open with one foot. He held the mop and beat the flames while shouting to his father.
Finally, at the end of the palace, I saw Emperor Yongle who was already on fire. He was screaming in agony. When Zhu Gaochi saw it, he hurriedly raised the mop in his hand and slapped the flames on his father's body. Seeing that it was about to hit Zhu Xi, he suddenly heard his father's stern voice: "Zhu Gaochi, do you want to kill the king?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaochi experienced earth-shaking changes. The fire just now disappeared without a trace in an instant, Zhu Xi sat on the chair, and Zhu Gaojiu, who had just been escorted to the palace, was standing in front of him.
And the mop in Zhu Gaochi's hand turned into a big sword. Judging from the posture of his holding the big sword, he wanted to kill the emperor with one sword...
