Chapter 186 The world is yours!
Zhu Xuan's eyes suddenly turned red.
He suddenly stood up and said, "No, absolutely not!"
Tong Jie was anxious, so he stood up and walked behind him: "Brother-in-law, you have to do it no matter what. You have to know that if the emperor really knew what you did, he would not let you go!"
Zhu Xuan said: "But he is the emperor! Once he dies, the Great Yan Dynasty will be——"
As soon as the word "luan" came out of his mouth, Tong Jie immediately said, "It's yours!"
“……!”
Zhu Xuan's breath suddenly stopped.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at his brother-in-law. He spoke very softly, as soft as a mosquito's whisper, but at that moment it was like a thunderclap exploding above his head.
He said, "You said—"
Tong Jie said in a deep voice, "The Great Yan Dynasty originally belonged to your Zhu family. If Zhu Feng can become emperor, why can't you?"
“…”
"Brother-in-law, don't forget that when he seized the throne, he still asked you and His Royal Highness Prince Ning to borrow the three guards of Doyan, of which Taining and Fuyu were yours. You have made such great contributions, but you didn't even get the fiefdom of Yanyun. How much affection does he have for you?"
“…”
"If he doesn't even have this little bit of affection, once the Yue army retreats and he's free from his constraints, will he still be able to tolerate you?"
The more he spoke, the heavier Zhu Xuan's breathing became.
Tong Jie finally said, "Brother-in-law, things haven't reached the final stage yet. Xiahou Jiu's army is here, and all he wants is profit. If we can win him over and work together, the emperor won't be able to escape!"
“…”
Zhu Xuan looked at him, his voice a little dazed: "How do you do it?"
Tong Jie thought for a moment and said, "Well, after half a day, I'll go back to the palace and tell them that you, my brother-in-law, have defeated the Yue army and respectfully invite the emperor to the barracks to review and reward them. He's at the palace anyway, so we'll be the only ones to pass on all the news to him."
“…”
"If he is willing to come to the military camp, then what happens next is self-explanatory."
"What if he refuses to come?"
"Arrange the executioners in the palace. If he really refuses to come, then we can do it in the palace. Of course, that would be a bit troublesome. It would be more convenient to do it in the army."
“…”
"Anyway, as soon as he dies, you, brother-in-law, will immediately declare yourself the heir to the throne."
“…”
"When the time comes, we will immediately lead our army to capture Nanjing and issue an edict, and the world will be yours!"
Zhu Xuan listened to his words, which seemed as tempting as poisonous spring water. Slowly, his rapid breathing calmed down.
Finally, it turned into a deep sound——
"good!"

With a "pop" sound, Nan Yan, who had been grinding ink with her head down, raised her head and opened her eyes wide in shock.
The pen in Zhu Feng's hand broke!
The ground around him was covered with papers filled with his handwriting, as if it were a vast expanse of white snow. He had never written for so long before, and even now, his pen was broken.
Nan Yan said softly, "Your Majesty!"
Zhu Feng held the half-broken pen in his hand for a long time before slowly putting it down.
There had been no expression on his face since he started writing, only coldness. At this moment, it was still cold, but there seemed to be something more in that coldness.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside.
Nan Yan looked back and saw Tong Jie walking in with several lieutenants in armor. Her heart sank and she hurried forward to greet them, "Master Tong, what do you want?"
