Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 69: Mutation

At this time, there was silence in the Qianqing Palace, and none of the vassal kings thought that things would develop like this. Since entering the capital to go to the funeral, strange things have emerged one after another. I heard before that someone wanted to assassinate the little emperor by using the power of ghosts and gods. Afterwards, someone wanted to poison the emperor. As a result, Zhu Yunwen is still sitting on the dragon chair, but there are fewer feudal lords coming to mourning.

The King of Jin died on the way, and the King of Zhao died last night for no reason. In addition, King Ying, who had just eaten his own fruit, seems to have no need to wait for the discussion on cutting down the vassal, and there will be few people left.

Seeing the sincere expressions of the kings, the little emperor smiled slightly and said to Zhu Di who was closest to him again: "King Yan, you are the oldest here. You should say a few words first, and then..."

Before the little emperor's words were finished, Yang Jun, who had just left with King Ying, returned to the Qianqing Palace again. Yang Qianhu also held a small brocade box in his hand. Most of the vassal kings who were doing it had fought with Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was naturally familiar with this brocade box. What Yang Jun is holding in his hand is the order box that delivers the news on the battlefield.

Just when the eyes of the people on the left and right were on the brocade box in Yang Jun's hand, no one noticed that there was a strange smile on the face of King Yan Zhu Di. It was as if something he had planned for had finally happened.

After Yang Jun delivered the brocade box to Zhu Yunwen's hands, he whispered a few words next to the little emperor's ear. After Zhu Yunwen heard it, his face became a little ugly. Before opening the brocade box, he raised his head and glanced at Zhu Di. At this time, King Yan has changed back to the same expression as other vassal kings, waiting for the little emperor to open the brocade box to see what happened.

After taking a deep breath, Zhu Yunwen opened the brocade box, took out the letter inside and read it, and said to the vassal kings sitting below: "This is the military situation sent from the battlefield, and the Mongolians have already left. Mobei, start to attack Daming in three separate ways... Li Jinglong, come and read the military situation to the vassal kings."

A young military attache hurried to the little emperor's side and respectfully took over the military situation. Then read it to the kings...

It probably means that the Mongols have assembled 150,000 troops and divided them into three routes to attack Beiping, Ningcheng and Guangning. Now it has reached the base of Ningcheng and the vicinity of Peiping. The military power of the garrison in the three places is in the hands of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, and Zhu Zhi, the king of Liao. The subordinate army generals have no right to dispatch the army, and now they can only desperately resist and wait for the three vassal kings to return to dispatch the army to fight the Mongolian army to the death.

When Li Jinglong read out the military situation, Zhu Yunwen kept his eyes on Zhu Di, the king of Yan. But until the training was finished, Zhu Di didn't see any abnormal expression again.

After Li Jinglong finished reading, King Ning Zhu Quan stood up first. He said to Zhu Yunwen: "Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent now. Once the Mongolian army has broken through the three places of Peiping, Ningcheng and Guangning, the thieves will drive straight to occupy the hinterland of the Central Plains. At that time, it is inevitable that the Southern Song Dynasty will be destroyed... The affairs of the vassal are best left for the time being, and after the Mongols have been beaten away, I will wait for the king to come back to the capital to discuss with His Majesty the matter of cutting the vassal..."

After Zhu Quan finished speaking, the other vassal kings also stood up and suggested that the emperor put aside the matter of cutting the vassal for the time being. His Majesty's war is coming, and at this time, cutting down the vassal may affect the military situation.

After Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, he was worried that Zhu Yunwen would not be able to control the old men who followed him to fight Jiangshan after his death. At the moment, I found all kinds of reasons to kill those old officials, and the ones who stayed were either the royal family members or some civilian officials who had no access to military power.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that his sons would be good at fighting, even if there was an accident at the border, he would not have to rely on those old officials. When he was about to die, he felt that these sons were not fuel-efficient lamps, so he asked Zhu Yunwen to cut the clan immediately after he ascended the throne before his death.

Now I see things moving forward step by step towards my expected goal. I didn't expect that when I was just about the last time, the situation was disturbed by the Mongolian military report. And why did the Mongols not fight early or late, but they only attacked Daming when they called all the vassal kings to cut the vassal. There is nothing tricky about it, and two fools like Bai Wuqiu will not believe it.

But if these vassal kings are not put back, the Mongols will once break through the three cities of Beijing, Ningcheng and Quang Ninh. It will go deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains like entering a realm of no one, and the scene of the Song Dynasty destroying the country will be reproduced. After weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Yunwen said to the following vassal kings: "Then the Mongols have already arrived at the door of the house, so please trouble the uncles to fight these evil guests. Then it's over..."

After hearing this, the vassal kings let out a sigh of relief. Then thanking Zhu Yunwen, he hurriedly left the palace, returned to his palace to clean up, and was about to leave Beijing and return to his fief.

After all the vassal kings had withdrawn, Li Jinglong, who had just read the military newspaper, said to Zhu Yunwen: "Your Majesty, the Mongols only surrounded Peiping, Ningcheng and Guangning. You can only send King Yan. , King Liao and King Ning went back to defend the frontier. The rest of the vassal kings continued to stay, and after the Mongols in the three places were defeated, the three vassal kings returned to the capital and resumed the cutting of the vassal..."

This Li Jinglong is Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, the son of Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, and Zhu Yunwen's playmate when he was a child. In the 15th year of Hongwu, Li Wenzhong died of illness. According to the rules, Li Jinglong was downgraded one rank to inherit the title, and the duke became a marquis. This made Li Jinglong, who was still young, indignant.

After Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne, he raised Li Jinglong's title by one level. After restoring the position of Cao Guogong of his Li family, Li Jinglong was loyal to Zhu Yunwen after this incident. In the heart of the little emperor, among the most trusted people, Li Jinglong is second only to Yang Jun, who has experienced life and death together.

After listening to this Cao Guogong's words, Zhu Yunwen sighed and said, "Will those three vassal kings come back? Originally, this time they had a great opportunity to return to the capital to be mourned, so I can force them to let them out a little bit. Those fiefs and their people. I can't think of being disturbed by the Mongols... Don't think about such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the future, we will find other ways to cut the vassal."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunwen sighed heavily again. Then he muttered to himself: "The death of Emperor Taizu has explained two things, cutting the vassal and peace... I didn't do one thing well."

When talking about Pingyan, Li Jinglong's expression changed. After hesitating for a while, he still said: "Your Majesty, if it is Ping Yan, Jinglong has an idea... Since these princes have already intervened in the palace, why can't we learn from them. How are they right, Your Majesty? You, we'll deal with them..."

After Zhu Yunwen glanced at Li Jinglong, he said, "Do you want me to be saddened with the charge of murdering an uncle? King Ying has the facts and plots to rebel, what does King Yan have? Jinglong, if you can find King Yan of Aoyan Evidence of the contrary. Only then can we do as you say... If there is no evidence, I will treat you as if you didn't say anything."

Li Jinglong immediately understood what Zhu Yunwen meant, nodded immediately, and said, "Then Jinglong will understand, Your Majesty, Jinglong will go to the evidence of King Yan's rebellion..." After speaking, he asked Xiao Xiao The emperor saluted, and then hurriedly left the palace.

After Li Jinglong left the Qianqing Palace, the old voice of Guibugui rang in Zhu Yunwen's ears: "Your Majesty, this Li Jinglong, you should be more careful, the old man, I can't tell from his face. What kind of filial piety comes..."

"I can't do anything either." Zhu Yunwen gave a wry smile and continued: "The founding heroes brought by the late emperor have all withered away. Most of the military power is in the hands of these uncles, and Li Jinglong is still familiar with it. As for the art of war, I know him well, so who else can I use without him?"

As Zhu Yunwen spoke, Gui Bugui had already appeared in front of him. After the old guy smiled at the little emperor, he continued: "Let's not talk about this Li Jinglong, let's talk about the Mongols. Does Your Majesty really think they are here to attack Daming?"
