Chu Yu rode on the horse and looked at the familiar scenery along the way. How beautiful these were. Unfortunately, under the iron hooves he led, it could no longer show its perfect side.

March overnight and have no time to spare.

Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi was discussing with the ministers to wipe out the uprisings everywhere. While sending troops to Shanhaiguan for reinforcements, he even sent people to report the war reports in Jizhou and other places at any time. Suddenly, an urgent report came back, and Zhu Gaochi immediately asked: "How is the battle situation?"

The letter replied: "Jizhou has been lost, General Du Qihai is gone, and the Mongolian army is coming towards our capital."

After hearing this news, Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was stunned. The ministers even discussed, some said they should just ask for peace, and some insisted on fighting to the end. "Your Highness, the world is still in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no worries. Now, summoning soldiers to serve the kings everywhere can alleviate the urgent needs, and you can still fight the Mongolian Tartars to the end."

Hearing this, someone retorted on the spot, "The Mongolian Tartars are nomadic peoples and are even good at long-distance raids. They have already captured Jizhou and will arrive in the capital in a few days. When the soldiers who serve the kings everywhere arrive, it is too late. Besides, now that the soldiers are everywhere, it is probably because the princes everywhere don't even care about their fiefs. They are still willing to relieve the difficulties of the court. In the opinion of the weak ministers, it is better to seek peace now. After all, they must have come from afar for profit. Now there are riots everywhere. The most urgent thing is to lose the country of the Ming Dynasty. My Ming Dynasty is vast and rich in resources, and there are some things. I wonder what you think?"

Neither Yang Shiqi nor Zhu Gaochi spoke, but looked at the people below. Although what the ministers said just now were the truth, if they really wanted to let go of their pride and seek peace, it would definitely damage the majesty of the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Shiqi looked at Zhu Gaochi and asked, "What do you think about your noble?"

Zhu Gaochi looked embarrassed. He was hesitant now and didn't know what to do?

Seeing his appearance, Yang Shiqi said, "Justice is in the hearts of the people. I think it is better to vote than to vote. What do the ministers' opinions?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded, "What do you think of me?"

All the ministers nodded and started voting. After the vote, Zhang Dewei announced the voting results, and the majority still supported the force of confrontation.

When Zhu Gaochi saw this, he felt a little embarrassed and stood up: "Since all the beloved ministers can fight against the enemy, then we will work together to save the Ming Dynasty and fight against the enemy with all our might."

After saying that, he ordered Yang Shiqi to organize the army and prepare for the battle to defend the capital at any time.

Chu Yu and his group soon drove to the suburbs of the capital. Seeing that there was not even a single village, they thought that it must be because they heard that the barbarians invaded and they all ran away.

He then led the army to continue to advance towards the capital. At three hours, at noon, he had already arrived at the bottom of the city wall. At this moment, he had already set up a formation and was ready to attack the city at any time. A hundred red-clothed cannons were placed underneath. Waiting for Chu Yu's military order, he fired the cannons together.

Chu Yu did not move. He was waiting for a group of people. If they were not there, the people in the capital would rather die than open the city gate. After all, the past nomadic people in the grassland were regarded as wild beasts by the Ming Dynasty and never looked at them directly. Isn’t it their life to surrender now?

"Come, go and find out when Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen will arrive?" Chu Yu had already discussed with his second brother, so that they could get rid of the pursuers as soon as possible and head straight to the capital. He was waiting for them to come in the capital.

After waiting for several hours, I finally came to the letter saying that they had arrived in Jinzhou area and were temporarily surrounded by the army, making it difficult to break through.

Chu Yu was stunned and immediately said to Abahaiqi: "The general first follows the order and go to Jinzhou to bring Emperor Jianwen back, no mistakes must be made."

After hearing this, Abahai period immediately set off with 20,000 troops from the three guards of Duoyan and 5,000 musket teams. Chu Yu set up a defense line, set up camps, and surrounded the capital. He placed dozens of Haidongqing around the capital every day, and was responsible for catching the surrounding pigeons every day to prevent information from being sent out in the capital.

Seeing that the Mongolian army had already surrounded the capital, the people in the capital were panicked. Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi and a group of ministers were even more unable to sleep or eat. But there was no other way at the moment. The people who sent the letter were surrounded and the information could not be sent out. They released the flying pigeon to deliver the letters, and the surroundings were all Haidongqing. For a moment, everyone was like ants on a hot pan and group of ants.

Chu Yu waited for almost a day. At the third update, he finally saw the Abahai period bringing Chu Ran's fake Zhu Yunwen back. They were all in a mess. It seemed that they had indeed been subjected to great siege and interception along the way. Chu Yu was shocked. He hurriedly changed their clothes, pulled his second brother aside, and asked, "Second brother, this is the case now. If nothing unexpected happens, the capital will be able to be opened one day after tomorrow. Will we really support this fake Zhu Yunwen ascend the throne?"

Chu Ran smiled strangely and asked, "If you had ascended the throne, then thousands of men in the world of Ming Dynasty would have been ready to kill you from time to time. You must understand that you are now the leader of a barbarian country, representing Manchukuo, not a person from the Ming Dynasty. So no matter what, you must first let the fake Zhu Yunwen ascend the throne, and then let him tell the world to abdicate you. At that time, our Chu family can take charge of the country, why not do it?"

Chu Yu was stunned. He didn't expect that his second brother really wanted him to sit on the throne, but he always felt a little fear on his mind, especially when he saw his second brother's eyes, he always felt very cold.

"Second brother? Do you really want me to be the emperor?" Chu Yu asked a little timidly. To be honest, he never had this idea. He had always just wanted to live a good life. He didn't expect that today he would embark on the road of becoming an emperor.

"The great elders in the world, those with virtue live here, what's wrong with you Chu Yu?" Chu Ran asked back.

Chu Yu was speechless. He understood mentally that he could not be the emperor no matter what. Since ancient times, he has always paid attention to the destiny of heaven. He is not the destiny of heaven in people's minds. What's more, if he does this, it will definitely change the trajectory of history. Even he himself will find it difficult to understand which direction history will move forward. Thinking of this, he sweated coldly.

"Third brother, are you okay? You wouldn't be scared like this if you were the emperor, right?" Chu Ran said with a strange smile.

Chu Yu smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I really don't have that heart."

Chu Ran pointed at him with his finger and continued, "Who is worse than Zhu Di? In terms of martial arts, military command and wisdom, no aspect will be lost to Zhu Di. He can seize the world and become the emperor. Why can't you? The world has never said that it will always be Zhu's surname. It's time to change it."

Just as Chu Yu was about to say something, the soldiers suddenly came to report to him, saying that there was an envoy from the court asking for a visit.

He was stunned and let the envoy come in. The envoy was Yang Shiqi, the minister of the Ministry of Rites of the dynasty. When he saw Chu Yu, he was stunned at first and then relieved. He might not have thought that Chu Yu would appear here, nor did he think that his colleagues who were in the same dynasty as him were now the leader of the city and territory.

"The Ming envoy Yang Shiqi paid homage to the leader." Yang Shiqi looked like he didn't know Chu Yu and bowed respectfully.

Chu Yu immediately walked forward and grabbed him, "Mr. Yang, please get up quickly."

"What can't be done? Now the Marquis is a high-ranking prophet of Manchukuo. Even Mongolia is willing to be driven by you. He is already the most well-deserved first person. He can bear this worship." Yang Shiqi's words were full of sourness, and Chu Yu felt very awkward when he heard it.

"Mr. Yang made fun of him. He was lucky enough to have a short life. He was lucky enough to have come to this day and would have been thankful to the emperor. If he hadn't caught Chu Yu in this position step by step, Chu Yu might have died of old age outside the barren land outside the pass for the rest of his life." Chu Yu said with a smile.

"Haha, what is the leader's intention to come back this time? Is he planning to occupy the Golden Palace and stay here forever?" Yang Shiqi suddenly looked at Chu Yu and asked with sharp eyes.

"Haha, Chu Yu is not that brave. This time he went to the expedition, he was forced to do anything. I believe Lord Yang knew about the situation. In addition, the former Emperor Jianwen was kind to me. Drink water and remember the source, and he will definitely repay him with a spring." Chu Yu said and stared at Yang Shiqi and smiled.

Yang Shiqi shook his sleeves, "Chu Yu, I have never been afraid of anyone, I can only convince others. If you can convince me today, then I will be a lobbyist for you after I go back." As soon as he finished speaking, the generals on the side saw that he was so presumptuous, they were ready to take him down. Chu Yu waved his hand and then retreated.

When Yang Shiqi heard that Chu Yu was completely for Zhu Yunwen, he became furious. He thought that Zhu Yunwen had disappeared for no reason and was killed by Zhu Di a few years ago. Now he was inexplicably protruding. He naturally refused to believe it. He thought Chu Yu had ulterior motives, so he said this.

Chu Yu fully understood his mood and said, "I guess Lord Yang also understood that the Ming Dynasty was originally owned by Emperor Jianwen, but the emperor snatched it away. To this day, it has caused a lot of grievances among the people. Now everyone's wishes are coming to restoration of the previous emperor. This is a fact. How can you not convince Lord Yang? Why do you have to be so angry? As long as the emperor can give up the throne, everything will be solved."

Yang Shiqi sneered a few times, "Okay, it's okay to want the emperor to abdicate, but I must first let me see the late emperor and let me talk to the late emperor, so that I can talk to it."

Chu Yu looked at Chu Ran and saw him nodding, and let the fake Zhu Yunwen come out. When the fake Zhu Yunwen stood in front of Yang Shiqi's eyes, he was immediately frightened and stared in a daze, and actually forgot to salute.

"Yang Aiqing wants to see me? What do you want to say to me?" Jinxiang Pavilion imitated very similarly. If Chu Yu didn't know his background, he would really think that Zhu Yunwen was still alive.
