Facing such a situation.

Zhu Di did not choose to rest.

Because Zhu Di also knew that Zhu Yunwen was definitely mobilizing his troops for the final defense.

If he couldn't take down Jin Ling City in the first place, he would be able to do it.

Then everything he had done before would be useless.

Along the way, the cities that he had taken down or not would instantly turn into spikes, blocking his way of retreat.

The 600,000-strong army would press down on him like Mount Tai.

At that time, he would die without a burial place.

The soldiers brought by Zhu Di also understood this principle.

Even though he was already very tired.

However, no one was willing to stop and rest.

Zhu Di looked at the soldiers in front of him and said,"

"Brothers, we fought from Peiping to here.”

"Jinling is not far ahead."

"Although this king also knows that you are very tired.”

"But this king cannot let you rest.”

"Every moment that follows is extremely precious.”

"If we get it, we can win."

"If we can't snatch it, our families will be raided and exterminated, and we will never be able to turn things around!”

"Are you willing to enter Jinling to enjoy the victory?”

"Or will you be exterminated and never be able to turn over a new leaf?!”

The soldiers heard Zhu Di's voice.

He raised the weapon in his hand high.

He shouted loudly,

"Enter the city! Enter the city! Enter the city!"

Zhu Di pulled out the sword at his waist.

He pointed in the direction of the capital.

"Soldiers, follow this king into Jinling and kill the treacherous officials!”

Zhu Di's soldiers roared.

Then, he followed Zhu Di and rushed towards Jinling.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched everything silently from the side.

He sighed in his heart.

Zhu Yunwen was finished. Without the Beijing camp, Jinling would never be able to stop these tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

As Zhu Di got closer and closer to the capital.

People in the capital also began to panic.

The people Zhu Yunwen sent out to recall Li Jinglong had not left for long.

They received news that Zhu Di was less than a hundred miles away from Jinling.

Zhu Yunwen panicked.

At this distance, even if Li Jinglong had wings, he wouldn't be able to fly back.

Zhu Yunwen asked Huang Zicheng in a panic,

"Master Huang, what should I do now?”

"How can we make Yan Fan retreat!"

Huang Zicheng sighed and said,

"Your Majesty, for now, we can only send an envoy to Yan Fan.”

"Try your best to delay Yan Fan.”

"Then close all the gates of Jinling.”

"Hold fast and wait for reinforcements."

Zhu Yunwen couldn't care less about Huang Zicheng's words at this time.

He quickly nodded and ordered Jin Ling City to close all the gates.

No one was allowed to enter or leave.

At the same time, he sent an envoy to see Zhu Di to stall for time as much as possible.

However, Zhu Yunwen had forgotten.

Back then, in order to send an army to attack Zhu Zhe.

Not only did they force the commoners, but they also collected a large amount of food as military rations.

There were many people living in Jin Ling City.

As a result, the city did not have any reserves at all.

Every day, the food needed in the city had to be transported in from outside the city.

Now that the city was urgently sealed, coupled with the accumulated resentment of the people.

Suddenly, the entire Jin Ling City was in a precarious situation.

The messenger sent by Zhu Yunwen also successfully met Zhu Di.

After explaining his purpose of coming.

Zhu Di didn't intend to waste any more time with this envoy.

What he lacked the most now was time. It was impossible to waste time with Zhu Yunwen here.

"Go back and tell His Majesty."

"Benwang entered the capital not for anything else, but because there are villains by His Majesty's side.”

"As long as Your Majesty gets rid of the villains around you, I will naturally retreat.”

When the messenger heard Zhu Di's words, he had no choice but to return to Jinling.

After reporting Zhu Di's words to Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen cursed angrily.

"What villain? He's clearly here to seize my throne.”

"He, Zhu Di, is a traitor. What right does he have to criticize others!”

However, after cursing, Zhu Yunwen said to the messenger,

"Did the King of Yan really say that?"

The messenger did not understand the meaning of Zhu Yunwen's words, but he still nodded and said,

"Your Majesty, these are indeed the original words of the King of Yan.”

Zhu Yunwen's face immediately showed a conflicted expression.

Huang Zicheng, who was standing at the side, thought to himself that this was not good.

The villain in Zhu Di's mouth was clearly him.

However, in this situation, His Majesty was clearly tempted.

Hence, Huang Zicheng hurriedly said,"

"Your Majesty, don't listen to Yan Fan.”

"Getting rid of the villain is just a reason for Yan Fan.”

"Even if His Majesty kills everyone around him.”

"Yan Fan will never stop.”

How could Zhu Yunwen not understand this truth?

However, at this time, Zhu Yunwen couldn't care about anything else.

As long as he could delay Zhu Di's attack.

As long as they could stall for time until Li Jinglong returned with his army.

Then, he still had hope of turning the tables.

As for everything else, he could give up.

So Zhu Yunwen looked at Huang Zicheng and said,

"Master Huang, I understand what you mean.”

"It's just that the King of Yan wants you now.”

"Master Huang, please help Great Ming again.”

After saying that, Zhu Yunwen bowed deeply to Huang Zicheng.

When Huang Zicheng heard this, it was as if his spirit had been sucked away.

He did not expect that the person he had painstakingly nurtured for so many years was actually such an ingrate.

Without waiting for Corey's reaction.

Zhu Yunwen directly ordered people to capture Huang Zicheng and send him to Zhu Di outside the city.

He also ordered someone to tell Zhu Di,

"His Majesty has already sent you the servant that the King of Yan wanted.”

"Your Highness, can you stop fighting and return to Beiping?”

Who knew that Zhu Di would only look at Huang Zicheng, who was already dejected.

He continued,

"This person is not the treacherous official in the court. Your Majesty is mistaken.”

Then, he chased the messenger back and continued to rush toward Jinling.

Huang Zicheng smiled bitterly.

The Emperor was so childish. The King of Yan would not give up until he got the throne.

Zhu Di looked at Huang Zicheng with disgust.

If it weren't for Corey, he wouldn't have been able to reach this stage.

Then, he ordered people to kill Huang Zicheng.

Zhu Yunwen saw that she couldn't solve the problem even if she sent Huang Zicheng.

He was very anxious and tied up a few of his trusted ministers to send to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di naturally accepted all of them, but he did not have the intention of stopping.

Instead, he asked the messenger to tell Zhu Yunwen,

"Go back and tell His Majesty."

"These people sent by Your Majesty are not the villains that this king wants.”

"Since Your Majesty is reluctant, then this king can only enter the city personally to eliminate the traitors.”

"Also, go back and tell His Majesty that there's no need to send any more envoys.”

"Otherwise, if we hurt His Majesty's face, it won't look good between us.”

This was Zhu Di's ultimatum to Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen, who received a reply, was completely desperate.

Zhu Di was unwilling to give himself any chance.

Li Jinglong's army was still in South Vietnam.

He no longer had any usable weapons in his hands.

All he had left was Jin Ling City.

Yes, he still had Jin Ling City!

Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up with hope again.

With Zhu Di's military strength, it was impossible to take down such a big city.

However, the eunuch who ran in from outside the door completely destroyed all of Zhu Yunwen's thoughts.

A eunuch ran in anxiously and cried to Zhu Yunwen,

"Your Majesty, the city is broken!"

"The King of Yan has already attacked!"

Hearing the eunuch's words, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but turn pale with fright.

Didn't he order all the gates of Jinling to be closed?

How did the city fall so quickly?

It turned out that when Zhu Yunwen ordered the city gates to be closed.

Whether it was the people in the city or the dignitaries.

All of them complained.

The reason was that there was no food in the city.

If there was food in the city, these people might be able to hold on for a while.

After all, Zhu Yunwen was the rightful emperor of Ming Dynasty.

After the imperial court's army returned.

Zhu Di's troops were naturally nothing to worry about.

However, there was nothing to eat in the city at this time.

The grain stores that had grain also quickly closed their doors and did not dare to sell it anymore.

The commoners who lacked food and water immediately began to clamor.

Thus, the city quickly fell into chaos.

Before this, Zhu Di had already arranged spies in the city and spread rumors.

He said that he had brought hundreds of thousands of troops with him.

This made the already panicked people feel even more uneasy.

Thus, some of the guards who did not want to die took the opportunity to open the city gates.

They welcomed Zhu Di's army into the city.

Zhu Di was overjoyed when he saw the city gate open.

However, Zhu Di still had a plan.

Afraid that there was a trap in the city, Zhu Di sent a team of soldiers over to take over the city gate.

After checking, there was nothing unusual.

Zhu Di was relieved.

Then, the army entered the city.

Zhu Yuanzhang had painstakingly built Jinling City.

Just like that, his defense was broken from the inside.

After Zhu Di entered the city, he ordered all the soldiers not to do anything.

Do not harass the people, disobey the order immediately beheaded without pardon.

Then, Zhu Di brought his men and headed in the direction of the Imperial Palace.

Zhu Di was very familiar with Old Zhu's family business.

After clearing the scattered obstacles along the way.

Zhu Di successfully arrived at the entrance of the palace.

At this time, Zhu Yunwen was already scared out of his wits when Zhu Di first entered the city. He didn't know what to do.

After Zhu Di attacked, he would only be left with death.

In the panic, Zhu Yunwen heard the bell from Qixia Temple in Jinling City.

With a flash of inspiration, he ordered the eunuch to help him take off his dragon robe.

He found a small knife and cut off all his hair.

He disguised himself as a monk and escaped through another door of the palace.

After Zhu Di entered the palace, he did not find any trace of Zhu Yunwen.

He immediately had a bad feeling.

Zhu Yunwen was still the emperor of Ming Dynasty in name.

Although he was a good-for-nothing, he still had a righteous name and appeal.

If he escaped, there would be endless trouble.

However, when he saw the dragon robe on the ground and the scattered hair, he was shocked.

Zhu Di felt relieved.

Trash was trash after all.

At the last moment, he used such an embarrassing method to escape.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing at the side, watched Zhu Di's actions from beginning to end.

Zhu Yuanzhang hated his grandson.

However, it was still his son's bloodline.

The descendant of the Zhu family.

What Zhu Yuanzhang was more worried about was that Zhu Di would kill the Zhu family when he couldn't stop.

However, what Zhu Di did next made Zhu Yuanzhang heave a sigh of relief.

Zhu Di looked at the dragon robe on the ground and the scattered hair.

After thinking for a moment.

Zhu Di ordered people to set fire to the hall.

Then, he ordered people to close the door.

After the fire started.

Zhu Di said to the people beside him,

"His Majesty is inside. He has been burned to death.”

Everyone could not help but shiver when they heard this.

Then, Zhu Di shouted,

"Quick, save him."

"His Majesty is still inside!"

However, the weather was dry, and these palaces were all built of wood.

After the fire started, there was no way to put it out in a short time.

By the time the fire was put out, the entire hall had been burned beyond recognition.

Zhu Di cried bitterly and said,

"Your Majesty, I'm late!"

"You caused His Majesty to be harmed by a traitor."

"This subject is guilty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang watched Zhu Di's performance from the side. He felt a strange feeling in his heart, but he put down the big stone in his heart.

It seemed that Zhu Di would not continue to chase after him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

The generals beside Zhu Di looked at Zhu Di, who was suffering.

He quickly went up to persuade her,

"Your Highness, His Majesty has already passed away and there is no ruler in the country. I hope that Your Highness will treat your body well.”

"Temporarily managing state affairs."

After crying for a while, Zhu Di finally stopped crying under the persuasion of everyone.

His eyes were filled with hatred as he said,

"His Majesty was killed. There must be a traitor in the court.”

"Pass on my orders. Arrest all the traitors in the court.”

"Kill them all!"

Zhu Di did not have a good impression of these civil officials.

If not for these people adding fuel to the fire.

Things wouldn't have developed to this stage.

Now that he had taken down Jin Ling City, these people would receive the punishment they deserved.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Zhu Di's orders.

He knew that this was Zhu Di's move to eliminate dissidents.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang had no objections to this.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself had massacred many officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang never cared about the lives of the officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang only cared about his own Zhu family.

He only cared about how Zhu Di would deal with the problems of the vassal kings.

After hearing Zhu Di's order, the soldiers under Zhu Di's command were shocked.

He immediately led his soldiers and charged into the officials 'residences.

They dragged these officials out of their homes and killed them on the streets.

There was not much fighting in the city, and Zhu Di had ordered them not to do anything when they entered the city.

Soon, Jin Ling City returned to its usual peace.

In some places, the commoners did not even react.

Everything would be over.

After the dust settled.

Zhu Di's first decree was to inform the world that His Majesty had been killed by a traitor.

Immediately after, Zhu Di ordered Li Jinglong to bring his hundreds of thousands of troops back to the capital.

Because Zhu Di knew that this kind of thing would change if it was delayed.

His army of hundreds of thousands was fake, but the hundreds of thousands of troops under Li Jinglong's command were real.

At this time, Li Jinglong had just received the imperial edict from Zhu Yunwen.

After receiving the imperial edict, Li Jinglong was scared silly.

He did not expect the King of Yan to dare to defy the world.

Revolt!

At this time, Li Jinglong could no longer care about Zhu Zhe.

He immediately ordered the army to retreat.

Along the way, Li Jinglong was burning with anxiety.

He knew the capabilities of the Prince of Yan.

When Lan Yu was still alive, he was a ruthless person who had killed his way through the royal court of Northern Yuan with Lan Yu.

In the entire Great Ming Dynasty, only he and his hundreds of thousands of troops could fight against such a person.

Until now, Li Jinglong still felt that he was one of the most famous generals in the world.

In addition to the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, he did not put anyone in his eyes.

After he returned to the capital to save the emperor.

He would be able to become the top noble in the entire Ming Dynasty.

However, Li Jinglong's army had only set off a day ago.

Another edict was sent to Li Jinglong.

Li Jinglong opened the imperial edict with a face full of surprise, but he almost scared himself half to death.

This was because Zhu Di had issued this decree to Li Jinglong.

Li Jinglong was stunned.

During the time he was out, Da Ming actually changed the emperor.

He looked at the two edict in his hands that also told him to return to his master.

Li Jinglong wasn't stupid.

In an instant, he made the choice he should have made-to be a qualified fence-sitter.

Li Jinglong no longer hesitated. He hurriedly led hundreds of thousands of troops to Zhu Di.
