Chapter 39 7. The duel of human nature

Facing the aggressiveness of the court soldiers and horses, Zhu Gaoxu made a symbolic resistance. He ordered people to bombard and fire cannons on the city wall, hoping to open a bloody road and escape every day.But there were more cannons in the imperial court, and they banged loudly on the city wall, which made Zhu Gaoxu feel ashamed and had to flee down the tower in a hurry. Back to Hanwang Mansion, I heard the crying of my beautiful wife and concubine.All the family members are willing to beg: "Old man, please, go out and let the emperor kill you. If you die alone, we will protect our family. But if you refuse to go out and let others rush in, our whole family will be killed." It's all over... Please, go and get slaughtered..."

Zhu Gaoxu was on fire, and Zhu Zhanji's imperial edict came in from outside the city, "Zhu Gaoxu, you old bastard, you immediately get out and surrender, surrender, I am happy, maybe I won't kill you, if you continue to grind, Don't blame me for being serious with you!" After reading the letter sent by Zhu Zhanji, and then looking at the wives, concubines and children kneeling under his feet, Zhu Gaoxu, who was at the end of his life, couldn't help but sighed and shed tears. There is no way to play anymore, let's admit defeat and leave get out of class.Zhu Gaoxu strode out the door and walked towards the city gate, but stopped suddenly.

In front of him was a mass of black heads, led by Wang Bin, the grand master appointed by him, and all civil and military officials blocked his way.Only Wang Bin asked in a cold voice: "My lord, what are you doing?" Zhu Gaoxu: "It's this time, what else can I do? Surrender." Wang Bin and all the officials shook their heads together: "No." Zhu Gaoxu was a little dizzy: "What's not allowed? Why not?" Wang Bin said with a smile: "Don't care about the fun, and don't care about the reason, in short, it can't be done." It was only at this time that Zhu Gaoxu came to his senses: "What do you mean...don't let me surrender?"

Wang Bin: "Of course. King of Han, you have been a hero for a lifetime, and you have a great reputation. Who in the world doesn't know? Who doesn't know? But now you have to surrender to a yellow-mouthed kid. If people say this...Your lord, you are ashamed, not ashamed." what?" It was not until this step that Zhu Gaoxu finally understood what human nature is. Zhu Gaoxu wanted to surrender, but his subordinates refused to agree. This is called human nature. What kind of human nature is this?Well, this is the case, since Wang Bin and others are going to rebel against Zhu Gaoxu, there is no life, no advance, no retreat, they can only run to the dark.For Zhu Gaoxu, he is Zhu Zhanji's uncle after all, even if Zhu Zhanji hated him to death, but in order to show his benevolent demeanor to the world, he will never kill Zhu Gaoxu.But for Wang Bin and others, there is no need to be polite, skinning and cramping, killing the whole clan, as happy as they want, the common people will never have any different opinions.So Zhu Gaoxu will fight to the death, Wang Bin and others may have a chance.But if Zhu Gaoxu surrendered first, then Wang Bin and others would be dead.

So they blocked in front of the door and did not allow Zhu Gaoxu to surrender. The reason why Zhu Gaoxu was defeated by Zhu Zhanji was because he lacked the most basic insight and understanding of human nature.It seems that his loss was just a fluke, but in fact it was inevitable. After thinking about all this, Zhu Gaoxu sighed again, and quietly went back to the palace.After closing the door, he immediately called his two sons: "Dabao and Erbao, things are troublesome. Wang Bin led all the officials to block our way out. If our family doesn't surrender quickly, you two will also be punished." It's implicated. But now I can't even get out the door, so what should I do?"

Dabao Zhu Zhanyuan suggested: "It's better to call Wang Bin and others in, say to convene the Standing Committee, and then we will take action unexpectedly, chop him up into pieces, and then surrender..." Er Bao had a lot of eyes, and said with a sneer: "That man Wang Bin has thick arms and great strength, and he is especially good at hitting. You still want to chop him up? You're lucky if he doesn't chop you up. Don't think about it." Dabao glared at Erbao: "According to what you want, our whole family will never succeed?" Er Bao smiled and said: "It's not necessarily about death, but, as a father, you have to work harder. There is only one way, that is, Father, you disguise yourself as a migrant worker, sneak out of the city quietly, and go to my father." Cousin Zhu Zhanji kowtowed and begged for mercy. Only in this way can our family have a way to survive..."

After Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he burst into tears: "Mother, what is this? You have to be sneaky even to surrender. How did I get into such a miserable state?"
