Zhu Song continued to march with his troops, but Guangning no longer dared to send troops. The next step to the pass was a smooth journey. It took a day to get from Guangning to Shanhaiguan.

Just when Zhu Song was about to enter the pass, the door opened wide and a messenger rushed out from inside.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han! Your Majesty is the escort of King Yan's Mansion. His Highness King Yan has ordered us to rush six hundred miles to deliver a letter written by His Highness King Yan!"

"Fourth brother?"

Zhu Song nodded, and then Zhang Tiezhu took the letter and presented it to Zhu Song with both hands.

Zhu Song opened the letter. In the letter, King Yan also told Zhu Song to stop his troops immediately. However, compared to Feng Cheng, King Yan also said one more thing, that is, he told Zhu Song to return to Kaiyuan City immediately and never enter the pass!

However, Zhu Song did not intend to listen to King Yan. He had to enter the customs when he should. He finally showed his Majesty a trick. If he just retreated like this, how could he still achieve his goal?

Thinking of this, Zhu Song folded the letter and put it away. Then with a wave of his hand, the army marched towards Shanhaiguan in a mighty manner.

At this moment, another carriage rushed out from behind the gate of Shanhaiguan. Inside the carriage was a great monk, who was shouting anxiously.

"His Royal Highness King Han, His Highness King Han, please don't go any further. Stop quickly. I have something to say to His Highness King Han!"

This great monk is none other than the counselor of Prince Yan's Palace, the famous Daoyan monk Yao Guangxiao.

Seeing an old acquaintance again, Zhu Song thought for a while and stopped. He might as well give this great monk some face.

The carriage stopped and Yao Guangxiao jumped off the carriage.

"Your Highness, your Highness must not enter the prison at this moment?"

Zhu Song heard this and asked: "Why can't I enter the pass? My father has passed away, and I have already wasted time because of the King of Liao. If I delay it any longer, I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill my filial piety before my death."

Yao Guangxiao put his hands together and said the Buddha's name.

"Amitabha, His Highness wants to return to the capital as soon as possible to fulfill his filial piety. I can understand it, but His Highness's purpose of using troops against Guangning is not just this. Your Highness is following the example of Wang Jian and Xiao He."

When Zhu Song heard this, he was mentally prepared, but he still didn't expect Yao Guangxiao to see his intentions so easily.

This old monk is really smart.

"Master, I don't say secret words. Since the master has seen my king's intention, why does the master still prevent me from entering the pass? If I don't enter the pass, won't my tricks be exposed?"

Yao Guangxiao explained: "I can understand His Highness's act of wanting to taint himself, but Your Highness, the situation is different now. News came from the capital. It seems that His Majesty's death may have uncovered another secret, and this secret

The whirlpool may be you and His Highness Prince Yan."

"If nothing happens to the capital this time, His Highness's move can be said to be extremely clever. However, if His Highness enters the gate again now, I am afraid he will fall into a trap."

Zhu Song knew that his fourth brother and his sister-in-law had spies in the capital, and he probably guessed who Wang Jinghong was.

Wang Jinghong is the eunuch who has been serving his father. Whatever news is transmitted from the palace to the outside world, most likely it comes from Wang Jinghong.

Since the news came from Wang Jinghong, it must be very detailed. Zhu Song also wanted to know what exactly happened? Zhu Song didn't want to be led by the nose by his fourth brother and sister-in-law all the time. Relying on them was like squeezing him again and again.

Plasters generally give themselves information.

Zhu Song looked at Zhang Tiezhu, who immediately waved his hand. The soldiers of Prince Han's Mansion immediately stepped forward and surrounded Zhu Song and Yao Guangxiao.

These are Zhu Song's personal soldiers, and they will not betray Zhu Song even if they are killed, so it is appropriate to use them as strong men to block the eyes and ears of other soldiers.

Zhu Song jumped off his horse and walked to Yao Guangxiao.

"Master, what exactly happened? Please elaborate, master!"

Yao Guangxiao nodded: "Your Highness, I don't know exactly what happened. The situation was too critical at that time. The late emperor mentioned your highness's name before his death, and there were many people in the late emperor's palace at that time.

Including His Majesty the current Emperor!"

"Since then, the palace has started to impose strict restrictions. If it weren't for the informant in the palace, who found an opportunity to secretly inform me, I'm afraid this news wouldn't be spread out now!"

"Your Highness, now His Highness is no longer able to take a step back at any time like before. Now His Highness has been pushed to the forefront of the storm just like His Highness King Yan!"

"In short, His Majesty the current emperor had already thought about reducing the vassal state before he ascended the throne, and now he is just implementing it according to the previous plan."

"Ascension to the throne?" Zhu Song frowned and asked: "It has only been five days since the king received the news. Even if his father and empress had been here for a few days and couldn't stand it, he would not have ascended the throne so soon. Why is he so anxious?

?”

Yao Guangxiao replied: "Your Highness, the late emperor's coffin was buried after only being laid for three days. On the day of the burial, Emperor Jianwen immediately ascended the throne. All this happened too fast. By the time His Highness King Yan received the news, it was already too late.

.”

"Why was he so anxious about ascending the throne? It wasn't because he was afraid of long nights and dreams. I was very curious about what the emperor said before his death that made him so nervous."

Zhu Song thought for a long time after hearing this, and then asked.

"Can I trust you?"

Yao Guangxiao said earnestly.

"Your Highness, everything I said is true. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can stay outside the customs for a few days. I'm afraid that the imperial edict against Your Highness to reduce the feudal vassal is already on the way."

Zhu Song had no intention of hiding from the vassal, because he still had a trump card, which was the three-year imperial edict left by his father before his death, requiring him to plant corn grains in Kaiyuan within three years.

This is the last decree of the late emperor. If the son does not change his father's three-year ambition to be filial, no matter how brave and crazy Jianwen is, he will not dare to ignore the world's criticism and ignore those three years.

Imperial decree.

But now Zhu Song is really not sure whether this imperial edict can suppress Zhu Yunwen. He ascended the throne on the day of the old man's burial. This operation is unprecedented and unprecedented, and it is enough to see how nervous he is.

As a time traveler, Zhu Song knew that Zhu Yunwen would definitely cut the feudal clan. There was no need to think about it. It was just how to cut it and who to start with. This was very important.

If something unexpected happened in the palace and Zhu Yunwen instantly pointed the finger at himself, then this level would really not be easy to pass.
