Chapter 410: Poisonous Wine Apricot Flower Spring

Even though Zhu Youjian had already made preparations for his current Majesty Zhu Youxiao to save his life, he heard Li Mingrui, the second assistant to the cabinet, mention that His Majesty had no intention of killing the Guanning Army, and even Zu Dale, the younger brother of Zu Dale, could even go to the net, but even after he was not ruthless to him, his brother, Zhu Youjian still felt like he was suddenly hit by lightning.

Once upon a time, I was determined to ignore my personal relationships for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's ever-generation foundation, but I had to admit that I chose to collude with the Donglin Party and intended to harm the emperor's brother, but I also had my own selfish intentions.

Boil beans and burn the beans in the pot, and the beans cry in the pot; they are originally grown in the same root, so why not fry them too quickly?

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but think of Cao Zhi's poem, smiled bitterly, and did not answer.

Li Mingrui continued to persuade: "It can be seen that the three thousand soldiers of the Western Expedition Army outside the car are all brave men who have experienced hundreds of battles. Knowing that the court has abandoned them but does not rebel, it means that they are loyal and righteous people. If King Xin really bears the will of letting these good men of the Ming Dynasty be buried with you in the Hami Acropolis, there is no way to say that the officials are, but there will be three thousand orphans and widows in this world. I wonder if Your Highness King Xin has ever thought about it."

Bang!

Zhu Youjian slapped the table, stood up, clenched his fists, and said fiercely: "Stop talking, I promise you, I'll die!"

Li Mingrui smiled coldly, and a hint of disappointment appeared on his slightly white face, but then he applauded again: "Okay! Your Highness Xin Wang is worthy of being the one who dares to act in the Ming Dynasty, and is worthy of being the blood of the royal family!"

"Come here, bring the spring of apricot blossoms that I have treasured for twelve years!"

With Li Mingrui's order, a servant walked in with a pot of wine. Li Mingrui took it himself, put a glass in front of Zhu Youjian, and deliberately shook it in front of Zhu Youjian, and then poured the wine for Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian could guess that this might be poisoned wine, but he couldn't help but smile: "It's a pity that it's just a glass of poisoned wine on the left. There is no need for Mr. Li to send his own good wine to his orphans."

"The emperor admires His Highness King Xin, who is a person who is very wise and it is also appropriate to send him to His Highness with good wine." Li Mingrui smiled and said, then made a call to Zhu Youjian, and then sat back on his seat.

Zhu Youjian was in a state of confusion at this time. Although he had already taken life and death lightly, when he knew that a glass of poisonous wine was placed in front of him and was about to drink him to end his life, he still felt a little fear and reluctance.

"Your Highness, don't worry, this poisonous wine is not a peacock gall or a crane red. It is a unique potion secretly made by the Imperial Pharmacy. It will only have special effects after mixing alcohol. It will not seal the throat or burn the heart. In short, you will not feel any pain after drinking it. Moreover, it will still be like an ordinary person within three days, but you will die suddenly in three days."

Li Mingrui's words made Zhu Youjian feel even more complicated, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I didn't expect that I didn't even have the chance to wrap my body around the horse. I asked Mr. Li to convey to my brother that my brother was guilty and shouldn't have coveted the throne and committed a serious crime. Now this result is also my brother's fault. Now the Ming Dynasty's national strength is booming. The pirates in the south, the desert is in the north, and the expedition to Hami in the west is comparable to the grand occasion of my Taizu Yongle. The emperor is the emperor who is the magnificent emperor who is in the heaven and earth, and the revival of the Ming Dynasty. It is the foolish brother who is short-sighted, which almost made my Ming Dynasty lose a virtuous king, and almost caused the Ming Dynasty to suffer the disaster of national destruction. After his death, his brother will go to the ancestors and his ancestors to apologize for guilt."

As he said that, Zhu Youjian turned around solemnly, looking at the yellow sand flying all over the sky outside the car window, the soldiers of the Western Expedition Army who fought side by side with him for several months under the yellow sand, and the Mongolian Tartars who were killing more and more on the outside, he couldn't help laughing, his voice getting louder and louder, but his eyes were involuntarily crying.

After calming for a while, Zhu Youjian finally picked up the wine glass. The powder-white porcelain cup from Ding Kiln had a uniform body texture, a thin wall as thin as a cicada's wing, and was held in his hand as big as an egg.

But Zhu Youjian felt that this small glass of wine was as heavy as ten thousand pounds.

He was very struggling in his heart. He even thought that while he and Li Mingrui were the only ones in the carriage, he could completely hold the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet with his own abilities.

And then he took this cabinet as a hostage to avoid this death crisis.

Zhu Youjian was not sure whether he could get the support of the soldiers of the Western Expedition Army, but he believed that although Zu Dale, Zu Kuan and others would not follow him to fight against the court, at least they would not attack him.

The only thing I was worried about was the Imperial Guard, but with Li Mingrui around, the Imperial Guard would definitely throw himself into trouble.

But what's the point of doing this? I can't compete with the court with my own strength. Even if I take Li Mingrui hostage and escape, I will not return to Middle-earth safely.

And it seems that Li Mingrui's life is of little value.

What's more, what he did did indeed ruin the lives of the three thousand soldiers of the Western Expedition Army. They would lose the last chance to survive because of their fear and hesitation.

"The Ming Dynasty may not have Zhu Youjian, but it cannot be without these three thousand and thousands of people who dare to fight against loyal and righteous people!"

As Zhu Youjian said, he suddenly raised his wine glass, opened his mouth and poured the orange-red liquid into his mouth.

Because he poured too quickly, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but choke. The wine was very spicy and full of energy, and it made people feel hot. Even Zhu Youjian, who had tasted countless imperial wines in the palace, couldn't help but praise him.

"Mr. Li's wine is really good, strong enough!"

...

Li Mingrui just smiled faintly, and there was no look of joy or anger in his deep eyes. His thick eyebrows were shaking slightly, and the wrinkles on his forehead shrank tighter, as if he was thinking about something.

But then, Li Mingrui suddenly shouted: "Come here! Your Highness Xin insulted the king and father, intending to hostage this official to threaten the current emperor, ignoring the court's etiquette and law, interfering in the national affairs, which was called joining the army to the west, but in fact he had the intention of taking him down immediately, escorting him into the capital, and his Majesty personally took him over. I came with the emperor's order, and had the right to take him first and then ask him, and immediately enforce him."

Five Jinyiwei suddenly walked out of another secret room in the car. The five Jinyiwei sang together "Yes!" and then pulled Zhu Youjian backhand.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but feel shocked and asked back: "What is this intent for Mr. Li? I have taken poisoned wine, so why did I still arrest the orphan for no reason?"

"Since King Xin is determined to die, why ask so much? Some things must be explained, even if they die suddenly, there must be a reason, right?"

As he said that, Li Mingrui didn't say anything more, but immediately pulled the prison cart, and King Xin Zhu Youjian was also pulled out and wanted to be taken into the prison cart.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but show bitterness on his face. He didn't expect that this old man Li would come like this, but when he thought that he had not lived for three hours, there was no need to care so much. He was about to die and was escorted to Beijing in a prison car, and he ended up returning to his roots. It was quite good.
