Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 621 Bandit Zhao, You and I Are Incompatible
At this time, the British Duke was imprisoned in a cell in Zhao Prison. He was in shackles, and he kept yelling in the cell, "I am the British Duke, the British Duke bestowed by Emperor Chengzu. What do you want to do?"

There is only the British Duke in the cell of the British Duke. Because of his special status, when the British Duke and his family were detained, they were separated.

There were more than a dozen Jinyiwei school lieutenants standing outside the viewing room where the British government was located. They stood here quietly, allowing the British government to swear in the cell.

"Why do you arrest the old man? The old man wants to meet His Majesty, you people who don't know good and bad, this old man wants to meet His Majesty, you people who don't know good and bad.

When His Majesty came to the throne, the old man put in a lot of effort, how dare you arrest the old man like this? "

The British Duke was lying on the pillar of the cell, yelling non-stop.

At this time, how can the British Duke still look like the British Duke?The clothes on his body were still pajamas, and the British man was directly grabbed from the bed last night.

There were still some dried bloodstains on the pajamas, and these bloodstains coagulated together, exuding a foul smell.

These bloodstains are not from the British government, but belonged to the guards in the British government.

At this moment, Gao Qiqian walked over slowly and came to the British Duke.

"You stray dog, what do you want to do? Wei Zhongxian was so rampant back then that he didn't dare to touch this old man, but you are so capable that you dared to touch this old man. Do you know the consequences of touching this old man? You know that when His Majesty ascends the throne today, How much effort did the old man put in? You dare to catch the old man, are you looking for death? The old man wants to see His Majesty, the old man wants to see His Majesty." The British Duke looked at Gao Qiqian standing in front of the cell, and kept yelling and cursing .

The Duke of England has never been in Zhao Prison at such an age. Wei Zhongxian was so rampant back then that he didn't pay attention to the officials of the world, but when facing the Duke of England, he had to show some face.

Wei Zhongxian, who was so rampant back then, wanted to give the British Duke some face. The British Duke really couldn't understand, how dare he dare to touch himself now that he is a small high rise.

Gao Qiqian sneered, "Hehe, I'll call you British Duke for your face, and call you pig and dog for not giving you face, and you have to follow suit.

Do you still think you are the high-ranking British prince from before?Stop dreaming, you are now a prisoner, stop struggling.

Let me tell you the truth, it is not our family who wants to arrest you, but His Majesty who wants to arrest you.You've got something wrong, and you'll be alive in a few days. "

The British Duke's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Gao Qiqian and hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

The British official vaguely felt that Gao Qiqian should talk about his surrender to Zhao Wen, but the people he sent to Xuanzhen have not returned yet.

These people are all confidantes of his subordinates, and it is impossible to betray him.

The British public really didn't want to believe that Gao Qiqian knew about it.

"Hehe!" Gao Qiqian squinted his eyes and sneered, "I don't understand? I really don't understand whether you are pretending to be stupid or really stupid. The matter of you and Cheng Guogong and some nobles secretly surrendering to Zhao Wen has been covered by the emperor. Got it, do you think the emperor can spare you? Don't think about it, how could the emperor spare you?

Now Bandit Zhao is very powerful and has the potential to sweep the world. It's ridiculous that you don't want to serve the country, but you still want to surrender to Bandit Zhao. "

"I didn't!" The British Duke became flustered in an instant, Gao Qiqian said this, and the British Duke already understood what happened.

But at this time, it is absolutely impossible to admit it. If you admit it, there is really only a dead end.

What's more, his confidants in the Beijing camp have already left Beijing with soldiers and horses.

Thinking of this, the British Duke suddenly froze.

"No wonder the people from the Beijing battalion are being transferred out of Beijing. It turns out that they already knew about it." The British princess kept thinking in his heart.

"I didn't, I didn't surrender to Thief Zhao, I can't understand what you are talking about." The British officer pretended to be stupid and said in a daze.

At this time, the British Duke can only pretend to be stupid, because he understands that once he admits to this matter, he is afraid that he will die, and the British Duke's line will be finished in his own hands.

"I don't care whether you surrendered to Bandit Zhao or not, and it doesn't matter if you say it. Wait for the disposal. By the way, you can't stay here for long. Enjoy the last moment."

Gao Qiqian dropped a word, and walked out of Zhao Prison without looking back.

Gao Qiqian walked out of Zhao Prison and headed towards the imperial study where Chongzhen was.

"My lord, most of the dignitaries who surrendered to Zhao Wen from the lineage of the British Duke and the Duke of the State have been arrested, and the rest are being arrested." Gao Qiqian came to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen glanced at Gao Qiqian, "Nowadays there are a large number of civil and military officials gathered outside the palace gate, and I don't know if any of them colluded with the British Prime Minister.

If these officials were instigated by some people with ulterior motives, it would not be so easy to convict the British public with the evidence they have now.

Therefore, I decided to declare the crimes of the British public and others first. Chen Xinjia bears my will to seek peace, and we cannot let him go out and speak out, otherwise the matter of peace will be leaked.

You think of a way to get Chen Xinjia out of it, and then take out the testimony in your hand.By the way, all those things found in the British government were released.

By the way, before doing these things, first let the Duke of England commit suicide in fear of crime. I believe you should be able to do this. "

Chongzhen looked at Gao Qiqian coldly, his face was full of fierceness.

Chongzhen is not an idiot. A dignitary like the British Duke who has been passed down in the capital for hundreds of years and has an intricate network of connections should cut through the mess quickly and send these people to see their father as quickly as possible.

When dealing with people of this level, it is absolutely impossible to delay. Once it is delayed, who knows if other things will happen.

Last night, the soldiers who hunted and killed the British prince found a lot of "evidence" in the British government. Some of these "evidences" were true and some were false, and most of them were false.

But there are also truths, although not many, which can indirectly prove that the British Duke wants to surrender to Zhao Wen.

Gao Qiqian felt trembling when Chongzhen looked at him, but he still cupped his hands and said, "Follow Your Majesty's will!"

A few quarters of an hour later, a Jinyiwei Zhao thief came to the door of the Imperial Study Room and shouted at Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, Duke Cheng of England and the others committed suicide in fear of crime, and hanged themselves in Zhao Prison."

Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "I already know, tell Gao Qiqian to let him publish all the details and files of this case in six volumes."

Jin Yiwei saluted, then left in a hurry.

It didn't take long for the officials in the capital to get detailed information on the matter.

When they got the information in their hands, their faces were full of disbelief.

They really couldn't imagine how the Duke of Cheng, who had been passed down for more than 200 years, would suddenly surrender to Zhao Wen?
They really couldn't think of it, how could Chongzhen know about surrendering?And the means are so ruthless, and the speed is so fast.

And from their point of view, the dossier in their hands looked full of loopholes.

If the British Duke really wanted to surrender to Zhao Wen, then the matter must be quite secret. How could Chongzhen know about it?
The dossier only explained the British referendum's surrender, but it summarized all the details in one word.

Besides, even if a person like the British public is convicted, it should be decided after a joint trial by the three divisions, but why is it so fast this time?

They were arrested the night before, and they were convicted now. Not to mention the conviction, why did the British public commit suicide so quickly?
The British Duke is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. How could he commit suicide in fear of crime?Moreover, this case was turned into an iron case by Gao Qiqian. Although the file was full of loopholes, there were testimonies from the British public servants, as well as the evidence found from the British government.

The officials outside the palace gate had 1 doubts in their hearts. They really wanted to find out what was going on inside, but they couldn't see Chongzhen.

Chen Xinjia was also standing outside the palace gate, holding the file in his hand, his face was full of horror.

He really didn't expect Chongzhen to be so fast, so he sent the British prince and the others on their way.And there are so many hard evidences.

After the British Duke was killed, some officials who had relations with the British Duke submitted memorials one after another, explaining to the British Duke that Chongzhen had wronged the British Duke.

However, there were not many people attending the memorial, only a few sporadic ones.

Regarding these memorials, Chongzhen didn't read them at all, and just let them go.

As for why so few people submitted the memorial, it was because Gao Qiqian had already settled the matter into an iron case. Now if anyone submits the memorial to the British government to clarify, wouldn't it mean that the British public had an affair?
Having an affair with the British public, doesn't that mean he also wants to surrender to Zhao Wen?
In this way, isn't that the accomplice of the British Duke?At this point, is there still a way out?
Chongzhen did not wantonly implicate other people after killing the British Duke and the others, but let Gao Qi Qian follow the vine to arrest those who were related to the surrender of Zhao Wen.

For a while, Jinyiwei and Dongchang appeared everywhere in the capital, and the whole capital seemed to have returned to the era of Wei Zhongxian.

However, in order to avoid loud and large-scale chaos, Chongzhen did not involve innocent people.

Although Gao Qiqian is not as capable as Wei Zhongxian, it is not a simple role that can get into a high position.

Within three days, Gao Qiqian arrested all the people involved in the surrender of Zhao Wen.

After finishing these things, a war horse appeared in the capital and galloped towards the imperial palace.

Not long after, a sealed bamboo tube was delivered to Chongzhen.

After Chongzhen checked the seal, he opened the bamboo tube.

Chongzhen sat in the imperial study room, glanced at the contents of the military newspaper, and then spat out a mouthful of blood, fell into a coma, and lay down on the table.

The eunuchs and maids in the imperial study suddenly panicked, Gao Qiqian hurriedly sent someone to find the imperial physician, and at the same time carried Chongzhen to the bedroom.

While supporting the unconscious Chongzhen, Gao Qiqian inadvertently swept across the blood-stained military newspaper that had fallen on the table.

With a close look, Gao Qiqian was trembling with fright.

Gao Qiqian knew the importance of this military newspaper, and hurriedly sealed it.Then he and the people in the imperial study carried Chongzhen to the bedroom.

Not long after being carried to the bedroom, the imperial physician came to the bedroom.

After acupuncture points with silver needles and various diagnosis and treatment, Chongzhen gradually opened his eyes.

The first thing I said when I opened my eyes was, "Tie Zhao, you and I are at odds with each other!"

Gao Qiqian sent away the idlers in the bedroom, and then stood respectfully beside Chongzhen's bed.

Chongzhen looked at Gao Qiqian, "Help me up, and at the same time let the six departments block the news and prohibit it from spreading. The matter of my coma must also be sealed."

Gao Qiqian hurriedly rushed out of the bedroom, gave a few words of advice to his confidantes standing outside the bedroom, then returned to the bedroom and helped Chongzhen up.

Chongzhen struggled to stand up, but Gao Qiqian persuaded him: "My lord, the dragon's body is important, let's take a good rest."

Chongzhen shouted: "Tongguan was breached by Zhao thief's men, how can I sleep? Don't talk too much, help me up."

The military newspaper was sent up by officials from the county seat behind Tongguan. The content is very simple, that is, Tongguan was breached by Zhao Wen's troops.

The defenders stationed at Tongguan were almost wiped out by Zhao Wen's troops.

Sun Chuanting is the governor of the three provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan. After arriving in Henan, he knew the importance of Tongguan, so he wrote to Shaanxi and mobilized a large number of troops to garrison Tongguan.

The first reason why Sun Chuanting did not sit in Tongguan himself was that he misjudged Zhao Wen's intentions and thought that Zhao Wen was going to attack Tongguan after taking Henan.

The second reason is that Sun Chuanting felt that Tongguan was a rare and powerful pass in the world. The terrain was dangerous, with the Yellow River in front and mountains on both sides. As long as it was properly defended, it might be able to stop Zhao Wen's troops.

To be honest, Tongguan is really powerful. If the weapons and equipment of the two sides are not much different, Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses will have to pay a huge price if they want to break through Tongguan.

However, the weapons used by the defenders in Tongguan are all cold weapons. Although there are several cannons on Tongguan, they cannot compare with Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses.

Under the wild bombardment of the artillery, the guards on Tongguan were so beaten that they couldn't even raise their heads, and they didn't even dare to fight back.

Tongguan, a rare majestic pass in the world, was bombed by the heavy artillery carried by Zhao Daniu for a whole day and night, and the wall of Tongguan Pass was blown down alive.

The wall of Tongguan Pass collapsed, and the east gate of the hinterland of Guanzhong opened wide. Zhao Daniu led his troops and rushed in.

"Tongguan is the gateway to Shaanxi. If Tongguan is lost, Shaanxi will definitely be lost. At that time, the western region will all fall into the hands of Zhao thieves." With the support of Gao Qiqian, Chongzhen stood on the ground of the bedroom.

He looked at Gao Qiqian and said with an ugly expression.

"The first generation of Guanzhong is Shaanxi's granary. After getting Guanzhong, Zhao's troops in Guanzhong don't have to worry about food at all.

Tongguan is gone, and Weinan Mansion may be gone too.Once Weinan Mansion is lost, Xi'an Mansion will definitely not be preserved. "

Chongzhen muttered to himself, his face full of despair.

Chongzhen also understood that although Xi'an was no longer established as the capital since the Tang Dynasty, its strategic significance is very important.

Losing Luoyang just before, and now about to lose Xi'an, this is undoubtedly a huge blow to Daming.
