"The floating clouds in the sky are like white clothes, and they are changing like gray dogs. The past and present are the same, and everything in life is the same." These lines of poems by the poet Du Fu lament that the world is unpredictable and life changes often occur in the blink of an eye. For unknown reasons, or it may lead to unexpected results.
Indeed, if it weren't for Daoyan's meritorious songs, if Mrs. Zhang didn't believe in Buddhism, and if Zhang Xin wasn't a filial son, maybe everything would be different. Confucians talk about God's will, Taoists talk about luck, and Buddhist disciples think it is caused by fate.
Zhang Xin went out and ran in a hurry. When he arrived at the gate of Prince Yan's mansion, he asked to see Prince Yan.
But the soldier at the door smiled and apologized: "General Zhang, I'm sorry, the prince has ordered that there will be no guests today." Zhang Xin came not long ago to pick out the guards and took away the nine thousand people from the palace with Xie Gui. I really don't have much favorable impression of General Zhang.
Zhang Xin couldn't help but feel anxious: "Please inform me that there is something urgent."
The soldier was unmoved: "It's really the prince who gave the order. General Zhang, please come back another day!"
Zhang Xin was so anxious that he rubbed his hands repeatedly and thought for a while: "Is there a horse and Mr. Ma that I can meet?"
The soldier was stunned and said, "I'll go ask." A soldier turned around and went in.
Zhang Xin was waiting at the door of the house, looking around nervously. It would be terrible if any subordinates saw it at this time.
After a while, Ma Sanbao came out and asked with a smile: "General Zhang is looking for me?"
Zhang Xin said anxiously: "Master Ma! It's urgent!"
Ma Sanbao still smiled and said: "Your Majesty will not see guests today, why don't General Zhang tell the subordinates?"
Zhang Xin was so anxious that he grabbed Ma Sanbao and said, "Master Ma! It's really urgent!" Ma Sanbao looked at Zhang Xin, sweating profusely and looking panicked, but his eyes were full of sincerity. Ma Sanbao did not dare to neglect any more and took Zhang Xin to the Rain Watching Hall and said with a smile: "General Zhang, please wait a moment, I will go and report."
Zhang Xin nodded, sat down and waited. Although he didn't speak, he was restless in his chair, and his face looked nervous, anxious, hesitant and determined. Ma Sanbao observed it and knew something must be wrong, so he hurriedly reported to King Yan.
There was a family banquet in Yongxuelu. When King Yan and Dao Yan heard about it, they left the banquet and came out together. They walked into the side hall and met Zhang Xin. Before they could exchange greetings, Zhang Xin had already asked: "Does the prince really have a pagoda?"
King Yan was stunned by his question and nodded subconsciously.
Zhang Xin then asked: "The prince is in the desert. Is there really a pagoda appearing in the sky? Are those in the ballad true?"
King Yan saw that he asked an unexpected question and used three truths in a row. He knew that the matter was important, and immediately replied solemnly: "Yes, I was trapped in the desert. Fortunately, a pagoda appeared in the sky, so I had to meet the army, and this happened." Great victory in the Northern Expedition". With that said, he took out the Glazed Pagoda from his arms and held it in his palm. Zhang Xin looked over and saw a small nine-story glazed tower, almost transparent in color, but filled with precious color and aura of aura.
Ma Sanbao interjected from the side: "The tower in the sky in the desert is exactly like this one. Even the army saw it at that time." Zhang Xin no longer hesitated, but looked at Dao Yan again.
Zhu Di said warmly: "Master Daoyan is my best friend. General Zhang has something to say, but there is no harm in saying it."
Zhang Xin nodded and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty! The imperial court has issued a secret order for the three of us to come and get you!"
King Yan was surprised: "When? Why?"
Zhang Xindao: "This is the order that arrived today. I ordered Mr. Zhang to lead troops directly to Prince Yan's Mansion with General Xie and Wei Chen to arrest Princess Dai, saying that she was responsible for taking human lives and killing the people. The secret edict said that if Princess Yan and the prince shielded and blocked them, Take them together and bring them to the capital. If the prince obediently releases them, then Prince Xuan will come to the capital and inquire about anything about the Arutai tribe or the guards."
King Yan snorted and sat down heavily on the chair.
Dao Yan asked: "Does General Zhang know when to take action?"
Zhang Xin said: "If it's later, it will be tomorrow, if it's earlier, it will be tonight. General Xie has already gone to mobilize his troops, and it will be over soon. If it is later, General Xie will be suspicious."
Zhu Di composed himself, stood up and saluted Zhang Nobunaga: "Thank you so much, General Zhang! I will never forget this great kindness and virtue."
Zhang Xin hurriedly supported King Yan and said: "Your Majesty, I will kill you. Your Majesty is protected by the Buddha, and I don't dare to rebel against God. Please make preparations early." After saying goodbye, Ma Sanbao sent him out.
Zhu Di looked at Dao Yan and was silent for a moment.
Dao Yan said: "I guess that the court suddenly behaved like this. Firstly, the concubine Dai committed a serious crime. Secondly, there is probably an insider from the court in the prince's palace. Otherwise, how could the court know about the Arutai tribe and the three thousand guards?"
Zhu Di thought deeply: "Yes, the three Gao Chi brothers came back not long ago, and the court still believed in me at that time. Why did they change their minds in such a short period of time?"
Zhu Di took a few steps and looked at Dao Yan: "There is no doubt about it! When the chief minister Ge Cheng went to the capital with me, I saw him chatting happily with Qi Tai during the palace banquet. The two chatted for a long time."
Dao Yan nodded: "That's it. Ge Cheng is a nerd, and Qi Tai must have deceived him with a theory of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country, so that he could become an internal agent of the court. Ge Cheng informed the court of these matters in the palace." Looking at it. Zhu Di smiled again and said: "I talk too much. The prince's illness will be cured as soon as his son comes back. I'm afraid the court will suspect that the prince is pretending to be ill."
Zhu Di smiled bitterly: "It's a bit pretentious."
At this time, sisters Xu Ying and Xu Xiu came in with three princes. Everyone was a little worried when they saw King Yan leaving the family banquet in a hurry.
Zhu Di said nothing and looked at Xu Xiu up and down.
Xu Xiu didn't wear as much makeup as usual today, she was dressed normally, and she didn't wear so many pearls. She looked cooler than usual. Seeing Zhu Di's eyes like daggers, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered. He forced a smile and said, "Fourth brother, what do you just want to see me for?"
Zhu Di snorted: "Tell me, how did you disregard human lives and harm the people?"
Xu Xiu's voice trembled: "I...I..."
Xu Ying was stunned: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Zhu Di didn't answer, but Ma Sanbao came back and said from the side: "Princess! The imperial court has sent a secret order to bring the princess back to Beijing for questioning."
Xu Xiu's legs went weak and she fell to her knees. Dumbfounded, he held Zhu Di's sleeves and raised his head and cried: "Fourth brother! I know I was wrong! I was just not angry for a moment and beat that girl. I didn't want her to die! I really didn't want her to die. ! Fourth brother, please help me!"
Zhu Di looked at Xu Xiu and saw her face was frightened, her face was full of tears, and her eyes were full of pleading; she held her sleeves with both hands and shook them gently. Ever since she was little, she had always done this little thing when begging. Zhu Di couldn't help but feel soft, and his livid complexion gradually relaxed. Yes, she is guilty, but, should she be allowed to be taken to the capital? The ministers in the court would be half angry to death if they went alone, let alone Xu Xiu, who had been pampered since childhood? I'm afraid I'll be tortured to death on the road.
Ma Sanbao said softly: "Princess! It is said in the imperial edict that if Princess Ru Yan stopped them, they would be captured together and brought to the capital. Your Majesty, the same goes for your Majesty."
Xu Ying slapped Xu Xiu: "What did you do? The court is so angry?"
Xu Xiu cried: "It's that Zhou Ada's daughter. She has a bastard. I was so angry that I beat her up. I didn't want her to hang herself in the middle of the night..."
Xu Xiu turned sideways and hugged Xu Ying's legs: "Sister! I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore! Don't let them catch me! Sister!" Pulling Xu Ying with both hands, she kept pleading.
Xu Ying stood stunned for a while, then she knelt down in front of Zhu Di and pulled one of his sleeves: "Your Majesty! Axiu can't go! If Axiu must go, I can only go with her!"
The three princes Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui also knelt down together: "Father! You can't!"
Zhu Gaochi said: "Father! My son is in the capital and has gone to the palace several times to meet the emperor. Your Majesty is kind and kind, but those ministers are acting like vassal kings like thieves! They talk about 'the tail is too big to lose' and 'cutting off the vassal' every day. This time In less than a year, five uncles have already suffered! Even when we came back this time, His Majesty didn't say anything and it was right at that time, but I heard that later Qitai Huang Zicheng",
Zhu Gaochi turned his head and glanced at Xu Ying: "I went to see His Majesty with my uncle Wei Guogong to ask His Majesty not to let us go. Fortunately, Your Majesty didn't listen to them."
Xu Ying was in disbelief: "Your uncle? Hui Zu?"
Zhu Gaoxu interjected: "Yes! Fortunately, the three of us escaped quickly. If we stay for another day, His Majesty might be persuaded by them." Xu Ying shook her head and refrained from speaking.
Zhu Gaosui said loudly: "My father can't go to the capital either! Look at the seventh uncle! He was caught and demoted after ten days in the capital!"
Zhu Di looked at the five people kneeling on the ground and frowned: "Everyone, get up! Gao Chi and Gao Sui, help your mother and Aunt Thirteen to rest."
Xu Xiu refused to get up and looked up at Zhu Di pitifully.
Zhu Di couldn't bear it and sighed: "Go ahead. I'll think of a way." Then he said with a stern face: "I can't act like this in the future."
Xu Xiu's voice trembled: "Fourth brother! I don't dare to do it anymore!"
Zhu Gaochi helped his mother, Aunt Thirteen, to go out. Zhu Gaosui was a little reluctant. Zhu Di glared at him, and Zhu Gaosui left together in dismay. Seeing that his father had left him behind, Zhu Gaoxu looked at King Yan excitedly.
Dao Yan asked: "What is the prince's plan?"
Zhu Di looked out the window with his hands behind his hands, sighed, and said slowly: "I am the uncle of the emperor's son. I am the king of the south. I have protected the northern border for many years. I have made meritorious deeds. I look up to the heaven and the earth and have a clear conscience."
Everyone looked at King Yan quietly, and the rain-watching hall was silent.
"Your Majesty was deceived by the villain and actually sent troops to arrest him. If he comes to the capital, this group of rotten scholars will be ridiculed by the slaves and swordsmen. Should I argue with them to ask for their lives? How can they understand? How difficult is it to fight on the frontier? My twelfth brother is not willing to be so humble and would rather burn himself to death, let alone my majestic King Yan?"
Zhu Di looked into the distance. The sunset had already set, and the orange sunset curled up in the western sky. At this moment, he suddenly deeply understood the state of mind of King Xiangxian when he burned himself in the palace.
Yes, how can the son of Taizu beg for mercy from those villains
Zhu Di turned around and ordered coldly: "Pass Zhang Yu! Zhu Neng!"
