"Your Majesty?"

Yang Hong quickly grabbed Zhou Yu and took a few steps back. He lowered his head slightly so that his opening and closing mouth could not be seen. He lowered his voice and said, "You really want to fight? That's Your Majesty. If we start a fight, Your Majesty may be hurt."

"

Zhou Yu looked deeply at Yang Hong: "How can you confirm that it is His Majesty in the dark? Have you ever seen His Majesty like this?"

Yang Hong was stunned: "No."

"I haven't seen it either." Zhou Yu shook his head gently and said, "I just want to ask you who owns this country."

Yang Hong said: "Of course it belongs to your Majesty."

Zhou Yu said meaningfully: "Then your majesty is an emperor who can give up his kingdom to others? Has the Zhu family ever produced such an emperor? Have Taizu, Taizong (Chengzu), Renzong, and Xuanzong ever been in such an embarrassing situation? They are all in the same line as you

I feel that if I were standing down there, I would be so humiliating and would call out. But if you, a general, were captured in front of the formation, you would be able to show your face and call out."

"Wei...wei." Yang Hong shook his head, with some hesitation on his face: "It is absolutely impossible for the general to do such a thing. My lord, is the person below really not your majesty?"

"It can't be your Majesty." Zhou Yu said calmly: "If your Majesty is captured, it should be a letter to the court to prepare a ransom. Calling the door in person is simply an insult to our Ming Dynasty and to himself.

An insult, an insult to the entire royal family."

"General, I understand." Yang Hong took a deep breath and shouted loudly to the soldiers: "Everyone listen to the order and fire your bows!"

I don't know what happened, but Yu Qian suddenly broke free from the suppression of the two sergeants and his face became angry again: "King Tan, General Yang!"

"Master Yu, what can you say?" Zhou Yu looked at Yu Qian and said calmly: "Or is it that Master Yu wants us to open the city gate to Na Ye Xian's army, and then welcome in his majesty who doesn't know whether it is true or not? This is different from

What difference does it make if we give up the Ming Dynasty to our hands?"

This question really stupefied Yu Qian for a while, but Yu Qian was Yu Qian after all, so he answered in a deep voice without thinking about it: "Of course you can't."

Zhou Yu sneered: "Then the city gate should be opened or not, so what if I don't open it? If the person below is really your majesty, my Lord, if you choose not to open the city gate, you are deceiving the king. As a rule, the nine clans should be killed. Maybe you can use the nine clans.

Come and bet that the person below is really not His Majesty. All the generals present

And all the soldiers who do not kneel before the emperor and do not save the emperor will be killed by nine tribes or the whole family. The lives of hundreds of thousands of people are carried on your shoulders, Yu Qianyu. How will the history books record you Yu Qian a hundred years later?

Should I be loyal to the Lord, or should I betray my country and seek glory and kill all the soldiers guarding the city?"

"Master Yu, you have to think carefully. As long as you say "Your Majesty", we will all be divided. When the time comes, it will be the same for him and not His Majesty. As soon as you open your mouth, it is equivalent to admitting that Your Majesty is indeed in your hands first.

, or I will send you downstairs to confirm for yourself whether he is your Majesty!"

Suddenly there was a shout from downstairs: "Hey, people on the tower, are you going to open the door or not? Fight or not!"

Yu Qian's body was trembling slightly. Looking down at the young man who was huddled up without any clothes and jumping with cold feet, he burst into tears. After a deep look below, Yu Qian said loudly and tremblingly: "We have received the favor of the country.

It is a matter of loyalty to the country. It is absolutely impossible to open this city gate. It is already too late and it is difficult to see. The grand master should lead the army and retreat."

This is what the Grand Master said.

There was silence below for a while, and then suddenly there was a shout, and everyone under the city tower turned around and left. It was not until they saw the fire dragon leaving that no sound was heard, and everyone on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Yu looked outside the city without saying a word for a long time, but when he turned around he said: "Master Yu, you still have to write down a note about today's events. You should write everything down clearly, whether it is true or false.

Write it clearly, I will see your report before sunrise tomorrow, and so will General Yang and the other generals. After the report is written, I can send it back after reading it."

In this era, you can kill without a knife. Sometimes, killing with paper and pen is even more cruel than killing with a sword. Some people are still alive but are dead in the eyes of others. Some people are dead but can live forever.

in everyone's heart.

Yu Qian gritted his teeth and looked at Zhou Yu: "King Xi, everyone has misunderstood. It turns out that you are the most ruthless person."

Zhou Yu did not stop: "I'm afraid you didn't listen to what I just said. The emperor guards the country and the king dies in the country. This is the ancestral motto of the Zhu family and the only ancestral motto. Do you understand?"

When the sun rose, everything outside the city was quiet, as if the farce that happened last night never happened, and there was no trace of Ye Xian's army outside the city.

In the Yang Mansion, Zhou Yu sat in the main seat and looked at the notes written by Yang Hong, Yu Qian and several generals without any emotion on their faces. He did not divide the notes into two piles until he had read them all.

And found Yu Qian's excerpt from one of the piles: "Master Yu, in your excerpt, it was written that His Majesty personally led the army and knocked on the city gate? Then why didn't you open the city gate last night? Do you know what it is to deceive the emperor and resist the decree?

It's a serious crime, do you really want me to confiscate your house and kill all nine of your clans?"

Yu Qian stood silently below Zhou Yu without saying a word.

Zhou Yu didn't expect Yu Qian to give any answer, and looked at the others: "It was dark and windy last night. You all could see clearly. Is that indeed His Majesty?"

Several generals were also silent.

Zhou Yu's hand gently tapped on the table next to him, and the only sound left in the entire front hall was Zhou Yu's gentle tapping on the table, which felt particularly dull and depressing.

Yang Hong also didn't take his seat and stood beside Yu Qian without daring to say a word. What was written on his note had completely chosen Zhou Yu's side. The other generals who stood on his side did the same and also occupied the hall.

most people in.

This general who has been on the battlefield for many years now sees very clearly that some things must be done, and he is helplessly involved in a dangerous battle in the court.

Zhou Yu knocked on the table and spoke slowly: "Sir, what is the crime of betraying the country and seeking glory, and what is the crime of opening the door to the enemy?"

Yu Qian slowly closed his eyes and uttered one word forcefully: "Execute."

"You know very well." Zhou Yu suddenly laughed: "I'll ask you for the last time, can you confirm whether the dog that lost its family yesterday is His Majesty?"

Yu Qian started to pretend to be stupid again: "I just wrote down everything I saw and heard on the note. Whether it is true or not can be judged by King Tan and the elders."

Zhou Yu nodded lightly: "That's right. If you hadn't written clearly enough, I would have slapped your book on your face by now. Come on."

A Jin Yiwei ran in from outside and knelt on the ground.

"I'm asking you to take all the excerpts back and make thousands of copies of your excerpts so that the people of the world can appreciate your literary talents. In addition, let people who are excellent in writing write a compliment to your Majesty."

The poems and articles should also be copied and sent to various places. It should be emphasized that the adults know you but do not save you, and let the people of the world criticize you with words and writings."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jin Yiwei responded respectfully, bent over and stood up with both hands to clean up the papers, but Zhou Yu's words and Jin Yiwei's actions seemed to stimulate Yu Qian, causing this guy to raise his head and push Jin Yiwei away, and then

He looked at Zhou Yu with incredible eyes and said sadly: "Why is King Tan like this!"

Zhou Yu said calmly: "You want my Zhu family to lose face, you want our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to be afraid of the enemy, you want to call the deer a horse and replace the dragon with a dog, you know it is wrong but you still want to identify a slave as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you not only want to harm

I want to kill everyone who is guarding the Xuan Mansion. I am trapped in the disloyalty and unrighteousness of everyone here without knowing it. I think I am strong and strong, but I am even more hateful than those Wang Zhen. Why don’t I kill him directly?

You have already regarded your merits in the past years. If this is the case, then let the people of the world make a judgment on whether you, Yu Qian, should be a famous person in history or be infamy for thousands of years."

"I will not kill you, but I will watch you, Yu Qian. I will watch you being criticized by everyone in the Yu family day and night, and your descendants will never be able to hold their heads up. I will even kneel down in honor of you with a fine iron statue."

This is in front of the Xuan Mansion, in front of the imperial mausoleum! You are sorry for the Ming Dynasty, the royal family, and even more sorry for Your Majesty! If that person is really Your Majesty, do you want to let the history books thousands of years later record that Emperor Zhu Qizhen of the Ming Dynasty was greedy and afraid?

He betrayed his country in order to survive! It was the man who knocked on the city gate that night and called him the emperor! Is it the shame that caused the Han family to lose its country again? "

"I tell you, if that person is really your Majesty, if he is not decent, I will take the initiative to give him dignity for the sake of Ming Dynasty and the royal family. If you are not decent, I will also give you dignity. If I myself are not decent, all the others

I will obey the order and give this king a decent face in the future!"

Zhou Yu scolded angrily and then took out a gold roll from his arms and slapped it on Yu Qian's face: "Look, this is the decree of the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother! If the enemy army knocks on the door and surrenders, all of them will be killed! The country is so important.

And the king is young! This is also the purpose of letting me ascend the throne. After all, the country cannot be left without a master for a day. I think your majesty’s life and death are unknown and the situation is uncertain. I refuse for the time being. Now you tell me whether the king of the country has fallen into the enemy’s hands, whether we should fight or surrender!

If the enemy army hangs this monarch alive on the flag, should Ming soldiers kneel down or fight! Now that the country is in danger, you still try to shake the morale of the army. If I didn't have some dignity, I would have you beheaded right now in public!"

"If you fight, killing the enemy on the battlefield and ignoring your Majesty's people has merit or demerit, and defending the home and country but ignoring your Majesty's people, is it a crime of deceiving the emperor? Now I ask you one last question, have you seen the people of yesterday?

Know who it is!"

Yu Qian was scolded so much that he held up the golden scroll with both hands and quickly scanned it before silently raising his head: "This matter can be solved if King Tan ascends the throne."

Zhou Yu laughed haha: "You mean to let me lead an army to rebel against the Supreme Being!? Haha, Yu Qian, you are really a sage in vain, you are no different from a pig or a villain. If you were loyal to the king, you would have admitted it loudly last night

As Your Majesty, if you are serving the country, you should not write a letter to shake the morale of the army."

Yu Qian shook his head gently: "Qian only asked King Yi, King Yi really didn't recognize that person yesterday."

"I don't recognize you." Zhou Yu stopped laughing and said calmly: "The villain dared to pretend to be Your Majesty. To this day, I still regret why I didn't kill the traitorous seller with one arrow. What's your point?

To change or not to change.”

"I won't change it." Yu Qian shook his head again and said affirmatively: "I won't change a word. If King Xi is dissatisfied, he can kill Yu Qian."

A smile appeared on Zhou Yu's lips and he nodded slowly: "That's very good. Sir, do you know what is more terrifying than physical death?"

Yu Qian frowned slightly: "Please ask King Tan to clear up the confusion."

"That is social death. You will become the leader of the world's literati and a man of great character for the country." Zhou Yu laughed and patted Yu Qian's shoulder, seeming a little moody: "Your excerpt is very good.

, but it’s not good enough, I will polish it up for you.”

Zhou Yu returned to the table, picked up a pen, and started writing in front of everyone. After finishing writing, he gently blew the contents on the folder dry. He looked at the content he had added and nodded with satisfaction: "Master Yu Qianyu, come and see me.

Is my handwriting the same as yours? Let’s also take a look at how my own handwriting is.”

Yu Qian paused and walked forward without hesitation, but after just two glances, his face turned a little darker. After reading Zhou Yu's own words, his face became even darker.

"You, King Xi?"

"Unexpected?" Zhou Yu said lightly: "The king's book also clearly stated that the person last night was your majesty. I am a benevolent and loyal king. When I was hesitating, it was thanks to my lord who stepped forward to prevent the city gate from opening.

After taking away the enemy troops, the booklet praises you from beginning to end, sir, you should be grateful to me."

Yu Qian took a deep breath: "Is King Tan too unscrupulous? He wrote the minister's secrets without permission in front of many colleagues."
