The emperor is embarrassed

Li Fang and Chen Dabao set up water and wine to entertain Ruan Hongfei.

Now that the matter was over, Ruan Hongfei felt relieved that he should eat and drink, and his attitude was unrestrained, and he didn't suspect that Li Fang and others poisoned his food or anything.

Seeing Ruan Hongfei's attitude, Li Fang sighed, "Brother Du is really a great hero, and I, Old Li, are not as good as you."

Chen Dabao was depressed, the arrest was made by the two of them together, but what happened to Li Fang, he kept moaning at Lord Du Ruo, saying that it was really discouraging for him to say that he would grow others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige.

"Brother Li, how happy we are to dominate the sea. Now Brother Li is willing to be driven by others, and he has lost his former pride. That's why he said that." Ruan Hongfei put down his chopsticks after eating a full meal, and said with emotion.

Ruan Hongfei knew Li Fang a little bit, and he was familiar with this person's temperament.What's more, Li Fangyuan was the overlord at sea, such a person would not be too willing to be subordinated to others.

Chen Dabao said with a smile, "Of course we can't compare with you, Lord Du. Since we can't stand on our own as kings, we can win riches and grandchildren as a duke."

Ruan Hongfei laughed, and looked at Chen Dabao, "Brother Chen, do we still want to be rich now? Some people have knives and boats, and land on the sea. Go to the imperial capital and see which prince is as handsome as us .”

"Furthermore, when it comes to dukes, don't the two brothers team up with the young master who hides his head and shows his tail, don't they think that he can be the master of the world?" Ruan Hongfei asked with a smile.

"If the imperial capital hadn't been captured, the lord wouldn't be in such a hurry to return home, would he?" Since Li Fang didn't live up to his expectations, Chen Dabao couldn't count on him anymore.He used to be jealous of Ruan Hongfei, but now that he has robbed Ruan Hongfei, Ruan Hongfei's demeanor is more comfortable and at ease than their robbing people, so why not make people secretly annoyed, so Chen Dabao couldn't help but choke Ruan Hongfei.

Although he used to be quite envious of Ruan Hongfei's relationship with the emperor, but this time he took the lead.Seeing that the imperial capital is being taken over by others, how can your little emperor's throne be secured?When the dynasty changed, the man Chen Dabao had established a good relationship with the new emperor's faction early on. No, he even robbed Lord Du Ruo from the sea.With this credit, no matter what, he has to be a prince.

Ruan Hongfei laughed loudly, shook his head and said, "Chen Dabao, Chen Dabao, you really... Could it be that young master who said that too?"

Chen Dabao's face turned ugly, Ruan Hongfei said with a smile, "As the saying goes, knowing the prime minister is like pressing a sword. What kind of friendship do you have with him? Once he tells you, you will believe everything. Have you ever doubted anything? Do you think Think about it, not to mention the imperial capital, even the thousands of troops in your hands, if the imperial soldiers and horses come to surround them, how can they be wiped out in three or two days?"

"Where is the capital of the emperor? The emperor is there, the princes and ministers are there, and the admirals of the Nine Gates have 20 soldiers and horses. The city wall was just built this year. Let alone attacking the city, even if you stay behind closed doors, it is not difficult to defend it for a year. "Ruan Hongfei asked with a smile, "Or do you think that the current emperor is a faint king, who can be beaten away in two or three strokes?"

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Ruan Hongfei said, "Why did I rush back to Du Ruoguo in such a hurry? Naturally, it's the emperor's explanation. It's not for anything else." Pointing at the two of them, Ruan Hongfei said, "I'm just for Brother Li. Where did you come with Brother Chen?"

In fact, Li Fang and Chen Dabao didn't know what the current situation in the imperial capital was.They were okay at sea, but on shore, both of them were China's most wanted criminals. If they went ashore, at most they would go to Zhejiang, Fujian, Huaiyang, and grab a meal before running back to sea.As for going to the imperial capital, the risk is too great, like Li Fang especially feels this way, the little lover went back to the imperial capital, and almost got sued.Of course, he learned about Ruan Hongfei's love.

As for Li Fang and Chen Dabao, they didn't know what the imperial capital was like.Even if they go by themselves, it doesn't matter if they have no way out, and they won't be able to find out the news. Therefore, the things they know are all told to them.

As for whether it is accurate or not, hearing Ruan Hongfei's instigation at this time, my heart suddenly thumped?

When Ruan Hongfei said this, the two of them were dumbfounded.

This, this, this, this, if the imperial capital is all right, the sons and sons will not be able to ascend the throne and become emperors, and their princely dreams will naturally be in the fog.But at this moment, he even offended the Lord Du Ruo.

Li Fang reacted quickly, without showing any anxiety in his heart, instead he smiled and said, "Brother Du is here to look for us? It seems that we have thought of a place." This is still talking about Ruan Hongfei.

What a shrewd person Ruan Hongfei was, he immediately sensed Li Fang's intentions. Ruan Hongfei shook his head, "Brother Li and Brother Chen and I don't think the same thing. You all know that I have established diplomatic relations with the imperial capital. What is the relationship between me and the emperor in the imperial capital? Clothing and food. The emperor treats me like a distinguished guest. Although the imperial capital is in a difficult situation at this time, in my opinion, it is safe. Even if the northwestern Tatars arrive at the imperial capital, they will not be able to enter. You guys Think about it, this is the territory of the Celestial Dynasty. If all the people in the world know that the Tatars are endangering the imperial capital, they will definitely raise troops to serve the king. The Tatars will come for nothing. If they want to besiege the imperial capital, they will even die by themselves. Defeat is only a matter of time."

"However, the emperor is still thinking about you when he is in the capital." Ruan Hongfei glanced at the two of them with a half-smile, "Although I have never seen that pretentious young man, but you think the emperor knows nothing when he is in the capital. Is it? The emperor has long been clear about the young master's collusion with the four of you."

"Even if what he said at that time, the emperor had a secret report!" Ruan Hongfei said indifferently, "how many years have we been in a relationship, usually whoever has a problem has to reach out to each other. Now, I have established diplomatic relations with the imperial capital, How can I forget you two brothers. I also know that you all have a heart of peace. I sold things from the heavens and sold them to you at a low price. To be honest, not only did I not earn a penny, but I also paid Shipping fee. Could it be that the emperor doesn't know about these things?"

"Now to tell you the truth, the emperor has been aware of the details for a long time. After I painstakingly persuaded him, he acquiesced in our transaction." Ruan Hongfei said seriously, "Think about it, what does this mean?"

Chen Dabao was less scheming, he was fooled by Ruan Hongfei several times, and quickly asked, "Is the emperor really so wise that he doesn't care about us? It's just that the brothers have offended the people a lot on the shore in the past, and I'm afraid the emperor won't forgive us easily. "He has been envious of Ruan Hongfei for breaking up the sea trade for a long time. If he can do business with Tianchao like Ruan Hongfei, Chen Dabao is not willing to rob it!

Pirates do what they do, and they really look down on the three melons and two dates in the small coastal fishing village!What they hoped for was formal trade with China.

Even though he is trapped by others now, Ruan Hongfei is unwilling to respond easily, and said sternly, "What you worry about is also what the emperor worries about. The world knows what you did at that time, and the emperor just wanted to cover it up for you. You have to cover it up! You can’t lose the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River for you.” Speaking of this, Ruan Hongfei saw that Chen Dabao was rather concerned, and thought that this reckless man didn’t have much heart. He was not surprised, but showed such a prepared attitude.Ruan Hongfei's heart was like lightning, he suddenly changed the topic, and said with a sneer, "Master, he just used this to scare you, could it be that brother Chen thinks that there is no hope of recruiting security!"

Chen Dabao was already stunned by Ruan Hongfei, staring at a pair of leopard-shaped ring eyes and said, "Old Du, I don't have your skills. I got so many people and even set up a court. We don't have your skills, and soldiers and horses are not as good as you." Brother Li, we also know that the emperor is wise. Now that Zhejiang and Fujian are under martial law, we can’t get ashore. Thanks to your loyalty, Lao Du, I can buy some things from you to maintain the expenses of the brothers. You also said, the previous thing Son, the emperor is afraid that he will not pardon us. Since this is the case, we can't just sit back and watch the little emperor be safe, or we will die together!"

Hearing these words, Ruan Hongfei had already made up his mind, and guessed three points about what the young master fooled Chen Dabao and the others.Ruan Hongfei disagreed, "Brother Chen, the opportunity is coming, why are you so confused."

"Think about it, if the emperor doesn't want to pardon you, why would he acquiesce in me selling things to you?" Ruan Hongfei smiled slightly, "Man, who doesn't make some mistakes. If you can make mistakes, you can make meritorious service. If Brother Chen The imperial court has made great achievements, and there is already a ready-made reason for pardon. Your Majesty, you don’t want to fight. This doesn’t mean that your Majesty is afraid of you.”

"On the contrary, brother Chen and brother Li are quite afraid of the emperor." Ruan Hongfei said, "Now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, he has built Tianjin Port. In the future, he will inevitably go south to build a port. Opening the sea ban has long been a firm matter. We are here To make a living at sea, we have traveled all over the East and South Seas, and when the sea ban is lifted in the future, our life will be difficult."

"What's more, we have been known as bandits for a long time. When the emperor opened the sea ban, he must build an unimpeded sea trade route." Ruan Hongfei said, "Therefore, the first thing to do when the sea ban is opened is to reel in bandits."

Both Chen Dabao and Li Fang were silent. They used to dominate the sea because the imperial court banned the sea and there was no navy. They occasionally went ashore to grab something. When officers and soldiers came and ran into the sea, no one could catch them.

But in fact, they are absolutely unable to compete with the official army of the imperial court. You can only see how sad their life is after Ming Zhan cleared the officialdom in Zhejiang, Fujian, Huaiyang before and after he ascended the throne.

There is no need for the imperial court's sea reeling bandits, as long as the coastline is completely under martial law, they will not get anything at all, and life will be extremely hard.

Ruan Hongfei was annoyed, "Your analysis of these words is completely correct for you."

"It's a pity, this son is afraid that the heart of a villain will judge the belly of a gentleman." Ruan Hongfei sighed, poured himself a cup of wine and said, "The emperor himself told me that he doesn't want to fight with you, not because he is afraid of you, but because he is afraid of you." Thinking about it, you are also from the Celestial Dynasty, and the brothers under your command are also from the Celestial Dynasty. Your Majesty, you don’t want your own family to beat your own family!”

"Although I'm floating on the sea now, there are still relatives in my hometown, right? Do you think about it, when you go home and take a look, take a look." Ruan Hongfei said, "When the man is alive, he should return home as a brocade. Bandits, after all, they don’t have a good name.”

"The emperor's heart has always wanted to use you. But as for you, you didn't understand what the emperor meant." Ruan Hongfei shook his head and sighed, "I'm really sorry for you."

The faces of Li and Chen changed slightly.

At this time, a voice with a smile suddenly sounded, "It is said that Du Ruowang is amazingly talented and has a brilliant tongue, so the rumors are true."

Ruan Hongfei was sitting at the main seat opposite the door, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the person who pushed the door and entered.

imperial capital.

Although the news of the defeat came quickly, the Tatars did not want to go to the imperial capital as quickly as Ming Zhan imagined.Even the people around the imperial capital hid what should be hidden, and those who should hide hid, and the Tatar army arrived in Hebei.

When they approached the imperial capital under the leadership of Yang Yutong, they found that life was really a little different from what they imagined.

You know, in the eyes of the Tatars, the Celestial Dynasty is full of gold, silver and treasures, with chickens, ducks and fish meat everywhere, the warehouse is full of grain, and its people are as weak as a flock of sheep.

However, when they bypassed many important military towns and approached the imperial capital by trail, they found a problem. The villages were all empty, except for the birds in the sky, the empty houses on the ground, and the black ash after burning.

Luckily for Saza, they were all wearing furs when they came. Among other things, at least they could cope with the increasingly cold weather.

Saza was quite elated at this time, thinking of the five thousand horses that Zhang Shu had taken away earlier, looking up at the cold stars in the night, he said to Chen Jingzhong, "Uncle Wang, now that the imperial capital is at your fingertips, I don't know if the little emperor will send someone to beg us and."

"If you want to send someone, I hope it will be the eloquent envoy!" Saza sneered.

Chen Jingzhong worried, "I don't know what happened to Hamur?"

"What are you afraid of? Jin Guogong's family is still in our hands. At worst, we can just exchange Hamur back." Saza was high-spirited, and he didn't care about his uncle's mention of his most hated brother, and said with a smile, "However, I want their emperor to return me 50 horses before they are willing to exchange them!"

King Usai, the king of the Usai tribe, was much older than Saza, and of course he was more stable than Saza, and he didn't have the problem of talking like crazy.I haven't been to the imperial capital yet, and I haven't seen the shadow of the emperor yet. It's useless to talk such big words.King Usai focused on the problem in front of him and asked, "Khan, we will arrive at the imperial capital tomorrow. Which road should we use to enter the imperial capital?"

Saza looked at Yang Yutong.

The last time the Tatars entered the imperial capital was during the reign of Emperor Dezong. Who was Emperor Dezong? In terms of seniority, he was Ming Zhan’s great-grandfather. In this way, it was at least 50 years ago. .

Fifty years ago, King User was the oldest person present, and he had not yet been born, let alone Sazar.

Therefore, the Tatars are not familiar with the road conditions.They came to the imperial capital so quickly this time, it was all thanks to the traitor Yang Yutong.Under Yang Yutong's leadership, they took all kinds of small roads, passing through various villages and counties, and they didn't fight at all like Taiyuan City, an important military town.

Therefore, the Tatars did not advance in a straight line to the imperial capital.In this way, their speed will be much slower relatively speaking, therefore, a lot of transfer time will be left for the people of the imperial capital.

Yang Yutong was a very stable person, and replied, "I heard that the new emperor is cunning. By now, the little emperor must already know the news that we have attacked the imperial capital. To be on the safe side, let's bypass the official route."

Saza disagreed, how majestic and high-spirited he was when he invaded Datong City.Looking at the fact that he has a well-equipped army and horses, a large number of people, and Datong's soldiers are too weak to defend, Saza feels that fighting against the people of the Celestial Dynasty is like a wolf joining a herd of sheep.Therefore, Saza said, "Why are you afraid of him? King Usai and I are both the kings of the grasslands. With the warriors on the grasslands, we must come to the imperial capital openly. Should we be sneaky?"

Chen Jingzhong persuaded, "Saza, General Yang is familiar with the military affairs of the imperial capital, so it is safer to listen to General Yang. Besides, as long as the imperial capital is occupied in the future, is there a time when you will not be generous?"

Saza had his own ideas, and said, "We are here to negotiate terms with the little emperor, not with the face of a tiger and wolf teacher, the little emperor may not understand his situation. We have to let the little emperor be afraid first." Now, do you need something?"

Saza said this, and it cannot be said that it is unreasonable.In war, momentum is very important, you have to show the momentum that you must win!After they plundered Datong City, they headed straight for the Imperial Capital, and the target was in sight. At this moment, what Saza wanted was to break through the Imperial Capital, capture the Emperor, and simply sit on the dragon chair by himself.If it doesn't work, you have to blackmail the little emperor like Zhang Shu blackmailed him last time.

Yang Yutong's eyes sank when he heard what Chen Jingzhong and Saza said.Yang Yutong received an order to order the Tatars to besiege the imperial capital for a few days, you Tatars don't care if you sign a covenant or grab something, you just go back.

If the Tatars occupy the imperial capital, it is obviously not Yang Yutong's goal.

At this moment, Yang Yutong suddenly realized that they were approaching the imperial capital with nearly [-] Tatar soldiers.And Yang Yutong's subordinates are only five thousand.At this time, Yang Yutong realized that he could not control the Tatars at all!Now, what kind of military strategy to carry out for the imperial capital is no longer in his hands!

At this moment, he is no longer the leader of the war, but the dependent of the war.

Yang Yu shuddered in his heart, but said on the face, "I have come all the way, and now there are no people in the suburbs, so it can be seen that people have been ordered to move. I see, the imperial capital has closed the defense line, and all the troops have withdrawn into the imperial capital. It is not the same as the imperial capital. I'm afraid it won't be too easy to fight."

Saza snorted and scratched his dusty beard on his chin. He didn't like Yang Yutong's cowardice in his heart, and there was a bit of contempt in his eyes, "You don't have to be afraid. With us Tatars and Usai people, the imperial capital is already within reach. Don't worry, General Yang, I will keep the share your master wants, and I will keep it for him."

Saza's words had completely exceeded the limit of the contract, and Yang Yutong's heart became even colder, and he asked, "Then according to Khan's view, how can we enter the imperial capital tomorrow?"

"Go the official way!" Saza made a decision, "I want to show your little emperor, I, Saza, am here!"
