Zhu Di's expression was uncertain. He picked up the stack of confessions and looked at them. Suddenly, there was a rumble in his ears. His vision went black and he fainted again.
Ping 'an heard the commotion, but he did not turn back. He left the King Yan's mansion and went straight to the yamen of the Commandant. He ordered the Beiping government to be under martial law. Without the Commandant's order, no army was allowed to move. He ordered Sheng Yong to lead 30,000 troops and keep an eye on the King of Yan's three guards. If there was any movement, he could take action without asking for permission.
Not only was Ping An sitting in the yamen, but Zhang Zhongming was also there.
Zhang Zhongming was very worried about Ping An's way of doing things and reminded him,""Without the permission of the Imperial Court, you must not mobilize the army to kill the three guards, and you must not besiege the King Yan Residence.”
Ping 'an knew that Zhang Zhongming had good intentions. If he attacked the King of Yan without asking for permission, he would be abusing his military power and acting recklessly. It was a contempt and provocation to the dignity of the royal family!
The outcome was predictable.
Although Zhu Yunwen had given Zhang Zhongming, Ping An, and Sheng Yong a lot of power, and even instructed them to take the initiative to attack if the King of Yan had any problems. However, an order was an order. Without a clear order, if something went wrong, who would take the blame?
Ping An understood this principle, but he also understood that when dealing with a powerful person like Zhu Di, he would either not make a move or kill him directly. If he dragged this out for too long, the person who would die would be him.
"I will send a report to the Imperial Court."
Ping 'an knew that the current situation was complicated. After writing the report, he was about to send it out as soon as possible when Sheng Yong rushed in and shouted with a surprised expression,""Not good."
"Could it be that the King of Yan has really taken action?!”Pingan's expression was solemn as he suddenly started fighting.
Sheng Yong was out of breath. He looked at Zhang Zhongming, who was panicking, and Ping An, who was calm and cold. He quickly said,""King Yan, King Yan, he's crazy!"
"Are you crazy?"
Zhang Zhongming was confused.
Ping 'an's eyes widened in shock. Shouldn't he say that the King of Yan rebelled?
Why was the King of Yan crazy?
Sheng Yong took a sip of cold tea and shivered. Then, he looked at Ping 'an and said solemnly,""I just received news that Prince Yan, Zhu Di, has gone crazy!”
The cold wind blew the remaining snow, and the water that had just been poured froze.
A middle-aged man with disheveled hair and unlined clothes ran through the streets and shouted,"This king is so hot."
Zhu Di snatched a live fish from the stall and put it into his mouth. He took a bite and shouted happily. He ran to the bridge and jumped into the frozen river. He flopped around and kept drinking the river water, shouting,"comfortable."
When the Beiping officials and citizens saw this, they were dumbfounded and incredulous.
Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui, and the others finally ordered people to fish Zhu Di out of the river, but Zhu Di acted as if he didn't know the three of them. He threw punches at them and kicked Zhu Gaoxu into the river. Zhu Gaoxu was still laughing by the river, and then he ran along the river, drenched...
Many people saw it.
Whether he believed it or not, Zhu Di went crazy by the river.
The once mighty and invincible commander had now become a lunatic that made people sigh.
Ping An took off his fur coat and strode into the back hall of the yamen. He sat beside the fire and warmed his hands. He said to Sheng Yong and Zhang Zhongming,""The people from King Yan's estate said that Zhu Di fainted after reading Ni Qiong and the others 'confessions. When he woke up again, he went crazy.”
"Crazy, hehe, I don't believe it.”
Sheng Yong replied decisively.
Zhang Zhongming was a bit uncertain and said,""In such a cold winter, the King of Yan actually thinks that it's extremely hot and repeatedly jumps into the ice river to cool down. Isn't he crazy?”
Sheng Yong looked at the fire and snorted.""How can a general of a hundred battles be scared silly by a small crime? Governor Zhang, Sheng Yong may ask, if His Majesty decreed that you be beheaded, would you go crazy?”
Zhang Zhongming thought for a while and finally shook his head, saying,""No, but it's hard to guarantee…"
Ping 'an narrowed his eyes and rubbed his hands.""It's not hard to guarantee. The King of Yan is pretending to be crazy.”
Zhang Zhongming looked at Ping 'an in surprise and asked,""How do you have such confidence?"
Pingan chuckled and pulled open his clothes. He took out a secret letter from his closest clothes and handed it to Zhang Zhongming. He said solemnly,""I, Ping 'an, don't believe in gods, and I never believe that anyone can predict the future. But now, I believe it. Our Emperor, with his genius wisdom, saw through today's situation!”
"What?"
Zhang Zhongming was puzzled. He opened the envelope and took out the letter. After reading it, he stood up in surprise. He looked at Ping 'an with trembling hands and asked,""This, this can't be true, right?!”
"Let me see."
Sheng Yong quickly snatched the letter. After reading it, his eyes widened as he stared at Ping 'an.""What is going on?"
Pingan stared at the orange fire. The charcoal inside had turned a little white.
More than a month ago, the Dark Forest Division arrived in Beiping and handed this secret letter to Ping An, informing him of Zhu Yunwen's intentions.
Ping An followed Zhu Yunwen's arrangement and created an opportunity for the Dark Forest Division to enter the camp of the King of Yan's Three Guards. This would create the conditions for the Dark Forest Division to investigate and secretly instigate a rebellion.
Ni Qiong and the others had betrayed the three guards because of the Dark Forest Division.
This secret letter clearly recorded Zhu Yunwen's judgment on the current situation in Beiping.
Under his instigation, the conspiracy was exposed. In order to avoid disaster, the King of Yan must go crazy to gain sympathy and wait for an opportunity...
In other words, as early as a month ago, Zhu Yunwen, who was far away in the capital, understood the situation in Beiping and predicted Zhu Di's every move!
What a terrifying ability!
Zhang Zhongming and Sheng Yong couldn't believe it. This was even more shocking than Zhu Di's madness!
Especially when Zhu Yunwen used the word 'must go crazy' instead of 'may go crazy.' This showed that Zhu Yunwen was very confident.
When Pingan first saw these words, he didn't think much of it and smiled."
How could Zhu Di, who had killed countless people, go crazy?
His Majesty's words were too exaggerated and unrealistic.
But now, Ping An was like Zhang Zhongming and Sheng Yong, unable to extricate himself from the shock.
Daning Manor, Prince Ning Manor.
Zhu Quan was currently reading in his study. In the winter, there wasn't much military affairs.
The Mongolian Tartars were also humans. They knew that it was cold and would not come to cause trouble at this time. They should be comfortable in their yurts at this time.
Moreover, the current Mongolia did not dare to attack Great Ming on a large scale.
Ming Dynasty's political enemies had disappeared ten years ago.
The current Mongolian forces were no longer the power of a single regime. They were scattered and independent forces. They did not have enough courage and strength to invade the Ming Dynasty's borders.
