More than 800 years have passed, and the dawn of the Renaissance has dawned in the West; after being oppressed by the Mongols for more than a century, the whole of China has finally returned to Zhengshuo, the Han Dynasty.

In the early years of Jianwen in the Ming Dynasty, the capital was Yingtianfu.At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, died, and Zhu Yunqi, the grandson of the emperor, had not been on the throne for a year.The ambitious Yan Wang Zhu Di was very disappointed with the loss of imperial power, and because of Zhu Yunwen's scruples and strategy of cutting down the vassals, his fiefdom and rights were in jeopardy.

In the early summer of this year, when Tai Zu was offering sacrifices to the sun, King Yan stayed in Beiping because he was afraid of the imperial court's suppression of him, and sent his three sons to the capital.The ministers discussed taking the three sons as hostages, but in the end the benevolent Zhu Yunqi made a wrong choice: let the tiger go back to the mountain.

"Your Majesty actually let Zhu Gaochi and the others go! Everyone knows King Yan's wolfish ambitions, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to restrain his rebellion after leaving!"

At the north gate of Miyagi, inside Habayashi Zuowei, Baihu and Zongqi people talked a lot after hearing the news.Most of them are hereditary from the position of their fathers who followed Tai Zu during the Hongwu period, and they are loyal bodyguards.

"Even if you don't let them go, you may not be able to stop Zhu Di," Xiao Yi still sat on the chair, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "King Yan is willing to let the princes come here, so he has prepared for the worst; It has long been expected that His Majesty will not embarrass them, or dare not embarrass them."

"Xiao Zongqi, you said it lightly, but he has carefully cultivated those talents, how could he be willing to take risks?" Zheng Shou on the side seemed to be reminding him.

Xiao Yidao: "Zheng Zongqi is right. It is just like this that King Yan's scheming is deep and unpredictable. Your Majesty is so gentle and kind, he is far from his opponent."

"Today's Holy Majesty's throne is justified, even if anyone in the world tries to shake it, there is no excuse." Another person commented.

"The so-called excuses are borrowed by those ambitious people who disregard loyalty, filial piety and common people." Xiao Yi said calmly.

Habayashi Zuowei, who was in charge of clerical affairs, experienced Chen Fu, who was also there at this time. He said: "It is Huang Zicheng who suggested that His Majesty send the three of them back. This move is too wrong. I am afraid that they are stupid in studying?" Chen Fu was born as a Jinshi. Not long after Taixue was transferred to the commander of Jingwei.

"Lord Chen, is it inappropriate to talk about the Hanlin Bachelor appointed by His Majesty?" Zheng Shou questioned again.

"Whether it's proper or not, we'll know soon." Facing his questioning, Chen Fu didn't take it seriously: "It's just that we are low-status people, and no amount of talk can change anything."

Xiao Yi looked at Chen Fu's calm eyebrows and blue official uniform, and seemed to hesitate to speak.This person should not be a thing in the pool.

One month later, the King of Yan rebelled, pointing out that Huang Zicheng and others were treacherous ministers, and he wanted the Qing emperor to make peace with the country.

At this point, the Jingnan War broke out, and the country that had just been established for decades caused wars because of the seizure of power.

The war lasted for three years. Although the King of Yan did not have the advantage in military strength, he was good at strategy and made a lot of military achievements, while the imperial court was negligent in command and retreated steadily.

In the early summer of the fourth year of Jianwen, the army of Yan approached the capital, and people in Yingtian Mansion were panicked.On June [-]th, the traitor opened Jinchuan Gate in the north of the city to welcome the Yan army, the city was broken, and the palace was on fire.

Together with the remnants of the army, the bodyguards of the upper twelve guards fought the final desperate struggle with the Yan army pouring into the palace city.

Xiao Yi was also leading his guards to fight with the enemy; seeing his colleagues who had been working with him in the palace for many years guarded and inspected fell casually, becoming more and more outnumbered, he felt extremely desolate and sad.Although the bad battle situation in the past few years made him mentally prepare for the worst, but when it really came to the final moment, he still felt the incomparable weight of fate.

Fortunately, he knew that His Majesty had already disguised himself to escape under the protection of some pro-military forces.

The total number of soldiers killed on both sides in the Battle of Jingnan reached 10,000+, which is rare in history.Xiao Yi was covered in blood and wounds. Originally, he could choose to die in battle, but the emperor still had a glimmer of hope.He struggled to escape from the east gate and staggered towards the hill outside the city.

King Yan went to Beijing that day, and was greeted by hundreds of civil and military officials.He ascended the throne in a few days, and later generations called him Chengzu or Yongle Emperor.Later, when Xiao Yi was in exile, he heard from the remnants of the pro-army that Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and others were brutally killed and exterminated.Chen Fu, a former colleague, was reinstated and promoted.
