"Yes, Eunuch. Cheng Jing brought the Brocade Guard and said that they were searching for the spies of Wala. Many people have already died.”
The young eunuch's face was filled with fear as he spoke.
He was more quick-witted. When he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately ran away. Otherwise, he would probably have become a corpse by now.
"Jinying of the Embroidered Uniform Guards!"
Li Yongchang's expression changed and he turned to look at Sun Ruowei.
Jiao Jing's analysis was probably true. Jin Ying had sided with Zhu Qiyu.
"Empress Dowager…"
Jiao Jing frowned, his expression extremely gloomy.
He had long guessed that Zhu Qiyu would make a move on the Imperial Palace, but he had not expected that this day would come so quickly, and his methods would be so brutal.
Sun Ruowei waved her hand and said lightly,""Forget it, let King Hun do what he wants. Little Li, bring the crown prince to this widow now.”
Right now, all she could do was protect herself and Zhu Jianshen at the same time. Then, she would quietly wait for Zhu Qizhen to return to the south.
Other than these, if he could avoid fighting with Zhu Qiyu, he would not fight with Zhu Qiyu to avoid serious consequences.
"This... Yes, Empress Dowager."
Li Yongchang was slightly stunned, then nodded and left.
Sun Ruowei's reaction greatly exceeded his expectations, but it was also because of this that he understood how strong and overbearing Zhu Qiyu was now.
"Empress Dowager is wise!"
Jiao Jing said respectfully.
Although he lowered his head to avoid Zhu Qiyu's sharp edge, this was undoubtedly the best choice at the moment.
The current Zhu Qiyu, no one could afford to offend him, not even the Empress Dowager Sun Ruowei. Avoiding him was the best choice.
Sun Ruowei shook her head and smiled bitterly."Sigh... With this widow retreating, Zhu Qiyu will no longer be tied down. The sky of Beijing is about to change.”
Although he was very clear in his heart, the reality in front of him forced him to retreat.
If they retreated now, there was still hope of counterattacking. If they did not retreat, there might be no hope at all.
Jiao Jing was silent and didn't say anything, so he didn't know what to say to comfort Sun Ruowei. In front of the cruel truth, any words were so pale and powerless.
...
Imperial Palace, Hall of Heaven's Worship!
Zhu Qiyu looked at the map in front of him and muttered to himself,""This time, the Wala army has split into three groups. The only enemy we need to face is Yexian. The other Wulianghas and Tartars are just being carried by Yexian.”
After Northern Yuan was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, it split into Wala and Tartar. The leaders of the two sides were Yexian and Tuotuo Buhua.
As for Wuliangha, this troop was originally under Prince Ning's command, but was later bought over by Zhu Di to participate in the Battle of Jingnan. In the end, they took advantage of Ming's weakness to return to the grasslands.
The inner part of the grassland was not completely united. Wuliangha and Tuotuo Buhua only saw that Da Ming was weak and wanted to go south to seize some benefits.
Among the three soldiers, only Yexian was ambitious and wanted to swallow Great Ming and restore the glory of Meng Yuan.
"That's right, Wuliangha and the Tartars are going south for benefits. They are different from the Wala. We can try to give them benefits and make them retreat. Then, we can use all our strength to deal with the Wala.”
Yu Qian nodded and said in a deep voice.
During this period of time, he had carefully studied the composition of the Wala army and was very clear that the real enemy of Da Ming was only the Wala led by Yexian.
However, he hesitated for a moment and said,""Your Highness, although Wuliangha and the Tartars are not like Wala and want to regain the glory of the Mengyuan, they will follow the south first and will definitely want to obtain some benefits.”
In the eyes of Wuliangha and Tartar, Da Ming was like a piece of fat meat, they also wanted to take a bite.
Jin Ying frowned and said," Your Highness, since Wuliangha and the Tartars want benefits, we will give them some. This way, we will be free to deal with Wala."”
"Eunuch Jin, your thinking is too simple. I'm afraid that Great Ming won't give the benefits of Wuliangha and Tartar, nor can he.”
Wang Zhi shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
Yu Qian nodded." What the Heavenly Official said is true. Wuliangha and the Tartars will definitely ask for too much. It's unrealistic to buy them over with money. Moreover, we have to worry that they will go back on their word after receiving the money."”
"Your Highness, we can attack Wuliangha and Tartar first and let them know that the Great Ming is not to be trifled with. This way, they might be afraid of shooting at the rat, and we can use this opportunity to fight the Wala.”
Hu Fou thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"No, in the next battle, the key is to lead the Wala first. We don't have many soldiers, so we can't waste them on Wuliangha and the Tartars. The sharpest spears must be aimed at the Wala.”
Yu Qian shook his head, his tone firm and decisive, not allowing any rebuttal.
Although Great Ming constantly sent troops from all over the world to gather in Beijing, the combat power of these troops was uneven. It was impossible to form a strong combat power in a short period of time.
Under such circumstances, it wasn't a good idea to waste their forces on Wuliangha and the Tartars.
"That's right, our biggest enemy is Wala. As long as we defeat Wala, Wuliangha and Tartar will naturally know how powerful Great Ming is and change their minds.”
Zhu Qiyu nodded, agreeing with Yu Qian's words.
Although he couldn't trust Yu Qian completely, he was indeed very capable.
In history, if Yu Qian had always supported Zhu Qiyu, Da Ming might really have been able to rise from this, but unfortunately…
Chen Mao and Zhang Wei looked at each other and said,""Your Highness, wouldn't it be a bit too risky to directly face Wala? Once Da Ming can't beat them, Wuliangha and Tartar will definitely bite onto Da Ming and not let go.”
Zhu Qiyu raised his head and glanced at Chen Mao. The corner of his mouth revealed a hint of determination as he said lightly,""There's no such thing as not being able to win. Either we defeat Wala or I die on the battlefield.”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Yu Qian, Wang Zhi, and the others were all moved when they heard that. They did not expect Zhu Qiyu to be so staunch.
Looking at Zhu Qi Zhen who was trapped in the enemy camp, the two brothers simply formed a stark contrast.
Chen Mao was stunned. He suddenly realized that he had put himself on the fire. After a moment of silence, he said,""Your Highness, this subject is also willing to fight to the death with the Wala bandits.”
There was no other way. Zhu Qiyu, a dignified prince, had fought to the death. Could he survive?
"Your Highness, other than the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, the first round of cleansing has been completed.”
Cheng Jing was covered in blood. He walked to Zhu Qiyu's side and whispered,
Jin Ying's expression changed slightly when she saw the bloodstains all over Cheng Jing's body. In the end, she let out a long sigh in her heart and said nothing.
He had long expected this scene.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold as he said indifferently,""Pass on this king's orders. Search Cining Palace and kill anyone who blocks your path.”
