please make me king

Chapter 1517

"Qizou Your Majesty, Ding Kuichu, the governor of Jiliao, Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and Shen Shikui, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, have surrendered. The overall situation in Liaodong has been settled, and the situation in the world is as stable as Mount Tai!" Zhang Shun reported to Zhu Changxun in a deep voice in Qianqing Palace.

"The rebels Yang Sichang and Zhu Dadian have been defeated by our army's Hong Chengchou, and they have been defeated in Shandong. Daming Mansion, Linqing and other places have been occupied by our army."

"Only Kaifeng Mansion can't be attacked for the time being. I have ordered Dudu Zhang and Han Lin to expedite the casting of the ten-thousand-jin Hongyi cannon. It is estimated that it will be conquered in a short time."

"Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, was loyal to the former Ming Dynasty. If he refused to surrender, he rebelled. The minister has ordered Hong Chengchou to continue the conquest!"

As Zhang Shun reported one by one, more and more signs emerged that the rebel army had basically completed the cleaning work near Beizhili and completely controlled the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

"Okay, okay, King Shun really uses his soldiers like a god, and the younger generation is invincible!" Zhu Changxun couldn't help but like and worry after hearing this.

What I like is that my position is stable, and no one has the ability to label myself a "rebel".

What worries him is whether Zhang Shun, the real "rebel", will kill the donkey and chop himself up when he sees that he is useless.

"It's all thanks to Your Majesty's wisdom and skillful command, that I have achieved certain small results!" Zhang Shun said without thinking too much.

However, he did not see that the cabinet ministers Zhang Zhifa, Huang Shijun, He Fengsheng, Kong Zhenyun and others were silent after hearing the words.

We are all smart people, and we all know something without saying it.

When the business was over, everyone went down to court.

Zhang Zhifa suddenly said to the left and right: "This old man's birthday is today, I wonder if the three of you can sit down for a while?"

"No, no, I have something to deal with today, so I can only excuse you!" The other three were startled when they heard the words, and quickly refused.

Zhang Zhifa saw how cowardly the crowd was, so he shook his head helplessly and went all the way.

Not to mention Zhang Zhifa's thoughts, let's say that Hongguang Emperor Zhu Changxun finally survived until he retired from the court.

Seeing the retreat of his assistant ministers, he wanted to go back to Dongnuange to be happy, but suddenly an old eunuch whispered: "Your Majesty, Cao Huachun, the admiral of Dongchang, begs to see you!"

"Him? See you there!" Zhu Changxun quickly waved his hands.

"Your Majesty, as a concubine, you'd better meet me!" Just as Zhu Changxun flatly refused, the Queen suddenly spoke to persuade her.

"This..." Zhu Changxun hesitated when he heard the words, and finally shook his head and refused, "Forget it, it's better not to see it!"

"Your Majesty, everyone is here, why don't you want to see each other?" The queen frowned, and could not help but gesture to the inside.

As soon as the queen said this, Shi Shiran, a white-faced and beardless middleman, came out of the inner room.

Zhu Changxun was taken aback when he saw this, he couldn't help stamping his feet and said, "You guys are trying to kill me!"

"Your Majesty, apart from the four of us, no one knows about the servant's coming this time!" Cao Huachun couldn't help explaining hastily.

"Okay, I've seen you all, what's the use of talking about it?" Zhu Changxun shook his head and asked, "Since you want to see me so much, I don't know what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, the 'Shun Thief' is a reckless man with wolfish ambitions. Every time I hear about it, my slaves sigh!" Cao Huachun couldn't help saying excitedly.

"Since he entered Beijing, he has been so powerful that he has openly regarded himself as the emperor, and has never paid attention to His Majesty at all."

"Now the three towns of Jiliao and Dongjiang have been surrendered, and the dignitaries and relatives of the emperor and relatives of our dynasty have been cleaned up, and their status has become more and more stable."

"If you don't plan it today, His Majesty will be harmed by him sooner or later!"

"Now the slaves have selected more than a dozen eunuchs and maids, practiced secretly, and are preparing to send them here soon, and have replaced all of His Majesty's left and right."

"But wait for the 'Shun Thief' to come to visit some day, I will take the opportunity to attack and capture and kill this beast in one fell swoop, as a sacrifice to the Fifteenth Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"

"What? You don't want to harm me!" Zhu Changxun was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help waving his hands in a hurry, "This is very good, this is very good, all major affairs of the state are entrusted to King Shun, and I can just enjoy a leisurely life."

"The ministers and others want to fight to the death, why did your majesty surrender first?" Cao Huachun couldn't help sighing when he heard the words.

"Could it be... Could it be that His Majesty still wants to betray the old slave and others?"

"Ah? How could it be, how could it be!" Zhu Changxun rubbed his hands when he heard the words, and said in embarrassment.

Originally, he really wanted to sell Cao Huachun and others, so as not to implicate himself.

As a result, now that Cao Huachun had uttered the truth, he hastily denied it.

"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Cao Huachun knew Zhu Changxun's worry, so he couldn't help comforting him, "This old slave has already found out."

"Although the 'Shun thief' has done a great job, he is actually alone, without any uncles or brothers to help him."

"As long as this person is beheaded, His Majesty's decree is only to punish the chief evildoer, and not to ask about the threats. At that time, hundreds of thousands of troops will return to the country, and then His Majesty will be first-class figures of Han Guangwu and Song Gaozong!"

"This... this matter needs to be discussed in the long run... in the long run!" Zhu Changxun said anxiously.

Zhu Changxun has already engraved Zhang Shun's cruelty and cunning in his heart, how can he dare to respond to him at this moment?

Cao Huachun and the queen repeatedly persuaded him, seeing Zhu Changxun's hesitation, they couldn't help becoming ruthless for a while.

"If that's the case, then don't blame the slaves for being disrespectful!" Cao Huachun couldn't help but sneered, and then called three or five strong maids, only to tie up Zhu Changxun.

"This... What if His Majesty disappears when I go to court tomorrow morning?" The queen couldn't help being startled when she saw this, and asked quickly.

"It's okay!" Cao Huachun said calmly, "If His Majesty still refuses to change his mind, Ma'am, you can send someone to say that His Majesty has something important to discuss, and King Shun is invited to come and discuss it!"

"As long as he dares to come, the slave will dare to do it!"

"Ah? Then what if he doesn't dare to come?" The queen almost cried.

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't dare to come, this time the empress sent a dead soldier, if he refuses, then take the risk of assassinating him!" Cao Huachun sneered.

"If this matter is successful, the slave will request to go back to the mountains and forests; if this matter fails, the free slave will undertake it alone, and have nothing to do with your majesty or empress!"

"Then...then I will entrust you with the wealth and life of my palace and His Majesty!" The queen couldn't help bowing deeply.

Not to mention what Cao Huachun planned, but after he came to court, Zhang Shun naturally understood that he was on the eve of victory, even if a thousand or ten thousand people were cautious, it would not be too much.

Therefore, he asked Liu Yinggui to dispatch his men early on to keep an eye on the movements of Zhang Zhifa, Huang Shijun, He Fengsheng and Kong Zhenyun.

"Your Highness, I have dispatched manpower to keep an eye on these four people. Unexpectedly, after the four people went down to court, they went straight home, nothing unusual!" Liu Yinggui was reporting to Zhang Shunhui.

"Be cautious in everything, keep an eye on these people!" Zhang Shun nodded and calmly reminded.

Suspicious forces outside the capital have surrendered one after another, and the dignitaries and civil servants in the capital have been dealt with by themselves. They must not be willing to fail!

A great man in the previous life said, "Clean the house before treating guests"!
This time, the "house" has been thoroughly cleaned by myself, presumably it's time for guests to come.

"I understand!" Liu Yinggui nodded upon hearing that, and said firmly.
