Chapter 809: Chang'an Incident (Part 2)

Bells and drums are ringing, and the ministers congratulate each other, shouting long live the three times, and the sounds shake the palace!

Zhu Youyu was wearing an emperor's robe and sat proudly on the imperial seat, looking down at the civil and military officials below, feeling extremely proud. There were the second brothers who were indifferent to the sun and the third brothers who were unruly. No matter how they thought in their hearts, they now had to bow to their feet.

They will never come up with this Chang'an City again. From now on, they will be a leisurely prince in Chang'an! I think that their kindness will be praised by the world in the future.

When I stood up and was about to give a passionate speech to the civil and military officials below the steps, the entrance of the hall was dark, and a huge figure was blocked.

It's not someone else, it's Zhu Wen.

"Disappointed! Do you want to rebel?" Zhu Wen held a big knife in his hand and walked towards the imperial throne step by step, with a grin on his face. Every time he took a step, the fat on his face kept shaking.

"No, no, no, no, I'm not... I don't..." Zhu Youyu was frightened and retreated repeatedly, tripped under his feet, and fell on the imperial seat.

"Rebellious minister, rebellious minister!" At the stairs, all civil and military officials shouted in unison.

"Kill him, kill him!" Zhu Yougui and Zhu Youzhen stood in front, jumping very high and very happy.

Zhu Wen, who was grinning, climbed up the steps step by step. His huge figure completely covered Zhu Youyu, and the big knife in his hand was raised high.

"Father, please spare me!" Zhu Youyu shouted.

"Don't worry, go to death!" The big knife slashed down with the sound of wind.

ah!

Zhu Youyu shouted, his soul was rising, and his sweat was soaked. He suddenly sat up straight, feeling sweat all over his head and face. He reached out and touched it, and the wet water was covered with water.

Fortunately, it was a dream, but just a dream!

He let out a long sigh!

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Sheng Zhonghuai's anxious voice came from his ears. Zhu Youyu opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Sheng Zhonghuai holding a teacup in his hand, shaking himself vigorously.

He rubbed his eyes hard and found that some tea leaves were stained on his hands. He was shocked. It turned out that the water on his face was not his sweat, but Sheng Zhonghuai took the tea from the teacup and poured it on his face.

"Zhonghuai, what is this for?" Zhu Youyu was stunned.

Even if I had a cup of wine at noon and had too much wine, Sheng Zhonghuai would not be so angry and embarrassed. He should throw the remaining tea on himself!

"Your Highness, the matter is very close, please forgive me for being rude." Sheng Zhonghuai threw the teacup on the table and said, "Dai Chaochao sent the emergency military newspaper."

Seeing Sheng Zhonghuai's appearance, a feeling of great wonder arose. If it were a happy event, how could Sheng Zhonghuai look like this? He was so anxious that he wanted to use cold tea to wake him up? Doing so would naturally be bad news.

"How to say it?" The sleepy and the drunkenness disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Shishou Dai was defeated, and the 50,000 troops were completely destroyed. Shishou Dai almost fled back to Xiangyang alone." Sheng Zhonghuai said.

Zhu Youyu jumped up, looked at Sheng Zhonghuai in horror, and shouted: "How is this possible? How is this possible? How could the Jingnan army defeat his father-in-law's 50,000 Gunhai army? How could he destroy his entire army?"

"It is naturally impossible for the Jingnan Army, but what if the troops of the Third Prince are added!" Sheng Zhonghuai said word by word.

Zhu Youyu's face turned pale.

"What did you say?"

"Come in and tell Your Highness personally!" Sheng Zhonghuai waved outside.

A lieutenant strode in from outside the door. Seeing Zhu Youyu, before he could speak, his voice choked up: "Your Highness, Gun Hai's army is over, it's over."

"Dai Mian, what's going on?" Zhu Youyu asked sternly. Dai Mian was one of the personal guard leaders around Dai Chao, and Zhu Youyu was naturally familiar with it.

"Your Highness, ten days ago, General Dai led a large army to Jiangling Prefecture and fought with Jingnan Army under Jiangling Prefecture. After a long battle, General Dai restrained the main force of Jingnan Army in the North City. General He Zhang and Cai Quan launched an attack from the east and west city walls and successfully entered the city." Dai Mian said this, and cried loudly: "But who knew that at this time, the troops of the general Tian Guofeng under the Third Highness suddenly arrived and launched a fierce attack from the back direction. Our soldiers and Jingnan Army had been fighting for a long time and were exhausted. They were attacked by Tian Guofeng and Jingnan Army, and they were immediately collapsed. The two generals He Cai in the city were trapped in the city and could not withdraw."

"How did it happen later?"

"When Dai Chao took us all the way to Dangyang, there were only more than a thousand people left by his side. Tian Guofeng chased me again, and Dai Shuai sent me to bring several horses to report the news day and night to His Highness and let His Highness be careful." Dai Mian said: "I broke up with Dai Shuai in Dangyang, and I don't know what happened later."

Zhu Youyu punched the table hard, and the best desks broke into pieces in an instant. He punched the table and Zhu Youyu walked out with big strides.

"Where is Your Highness going?" Sheng Zhonghuai grabbed him.

"I want to enter the palace. Zhu Youzhen is brave and kills friendly troops. Isn't this behavior equivalent to plotting rebellion?" Zhu Youyu yelled. "I want to ask Your Majesty to issue an order to allow me to lead the imperial guards to attack him!"

"Your Highness, no!" Sheng Zhonghuai pulled Zhu Youyu fiercely, "This matter is not that simple? Even if you have to report this matter to Your Majesty, Your Highness should make some preparations first!"

Zhu Youyu was stunned, turned around and looked at Sheng Zhonghuai: "I want to meet my father, Zhu Youzhen, what else do I need to prepare? Isn't it enough for me to bring Dai Mian?"

"Your Highness, the matter has happened. At this time, we need to calm down, think clearly about the causes and consequences, and never act rashly, otherwise, something big will not be good!" Sheng Zhonghuai looked anxious.

Zhu Youyu is good at martial arts and has always relied on Sheng Zhonghuai for other things. Seeing Sheng Zhonghuai's appearance, he was stunned: "What does Zhonghuai mean?"

Sheng Zhonghuai said, "I asked Dai Mian that he rushed back day and night, and broke up with Dai Shuai at the time of the dynasty. As a result, we had at least three to five days extra. The news would not be transmitted back to Chang'an in a short period of time."

"What do you mean by saying that?"

"Your Highness, think about it, how strange the defeat of Dai Shuai was in this battle, how clever the timing of Tian Guofeng entering the battlefield to attack Dai Shuai was. It was precisely that Dai Shuai and Jingnan Army fought hard, and it was precisely that He Zhang and Cai Quan broke through the city and fell into the street fighting in the city. You are fighting a war that is old, and you have grasped such a good time, what does it mean?"

"It means they have colluded a long time ago." Zhu Youyu suddenly realized: "This battle was basically designed. It was their intention to capture these two armies in the city and cannot withdraw in time, and then defeat them one by one."

Sheng Zhonghuai nodded and said, "That's right. Your Highness, I'm afraid that the third highness has already recovered the Jingnan Bai Minzhong and set up this trap specifically to wait for Dai Shuai to drill into it."

"So what? Will the father sit down and watch such a murderous incident happen and ignore it?" Zhu Youyu said angrily.

"Your Highness, think about it carefully, why did Your Majesty transfer you back to take charge of the imperial guards, but then transferred the Daishou away?" Sheng Zhonghuai said.

Zhu Youyu was speechless.

"Your Majesty is going to divide and govern it. I am afraid that the power of Dai is in Chang'an will be strong. On the other hand, the same is true for dealing with the Third Prince. Let Jingxiang be in Beijing and the Third Prince outside." Sheng Zhonghuai said vigorously: "Your Majesty sits like this, and you have placed you and the Third Prince in the same position. You are sitting in the same position to watch the two princes compete with each other, and want to see who is more powerful."

"Then now?" Zhu Youyu slowly came back to his taste.

"Your Highness, the third prince has won a great victory now." Sheng Zhonghuai's pupils contracted: "We have made a mistake. We never expected that the third prince would be so crazy and would do such a thing as a relative and a vengeance. Think about it, once Your Majesty learned that the 50,000 troops of Dai Zheng were destroyed, most of the Shandong East Road, Jingnan fell into the hands of the Third Prince. In addition, Eyue, Huainan, Wuding, Xuanwu, and Tianping are all supporters of the territory of the Third Prince. What would he do?"

Zhu Youyu's legs became weak and he almost fell to the ground.

"Your Highness, if I were Your Majesty, at this time, I would only make mistakes. Not only would I not pursue the third prince's rebellious actions, but I would deliberately win over the third prince. After all, the third prince's strength is far superior to your prince. I may even take you down in one fell swoop. And Jing Xiang will never be idle. He will definitely take this opportunity to suggest that Your Majesty make the third prince the crown prince. Once this happens, you will never be able to turn over again."

Zhu Youyu was sweating in cold sweat: "Zhonghuai, then what do we do now?"

Sheng Zhonghuai took a deep breath, "I naturally want to see Your Majesty, but I have to make arrangements. Chang'an doesn't know this news yet, so we have enough time to complete the arrangement. As long as we control Chang'an and His Majesty the Emperor, then, the next step is Your Highness, you have the final say."

Zhu Youyu took a breath: "You, did you ask me to launch a coup?"

"Your Highness can go to see Your Majesty. If Your Majesty is angry and pursues the third highness's rebellion, then we will naturally follow the flow and do nothing. But once Your Majesty is as I said above, what else can you hesitate about? Either fight or wait for your hands!" Sheng Zhonghuai said coldly: "People like me can still go and find your boss without looking for your home, but you, are you really going to live alone in the high-walled courtyard in the future?"

"Of course it's impossible. In this case, I'm better off dying!" Zhu Youyu said angrily.
