Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 751 You will be ordinary people from now on
Zhao Wen put down the military newspaper in his hand and looked at Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao who were kneeling in the middle.

"Your Majesty, these two are the same generals who led the army to resist behind the palace.

These two are uncles and nephews, the older one is called Cao Wenzhao, and the younger one is called Cao Bianjiao. "The officer said to Zhao Wen.

"It turned out to be these two people!" Zhao Wen raised his head and looked at the two people kneeling in the hall with a look of surprise.

Zhao Wen was taken aback. He really didn't expect that the two people in front of him turned out to be the famous General Cao in history.

Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao were indeed famous in history, and they were famous in the history of the late Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Wen of later generations admired these two people very much when he was reading history books.

In the history of the late Ming Dynasty, these two people were like the fire generals of the Ming Dynasty, running around, mending the ship of the Ming Dynasty that was about to sink.

Zhao Wen stepped down from the throne and came in front of the two.

Zhao Wen carefully looked at the two people. To be honest, the appearance of these two people is not ugly, the sky is full, and the ground is round. They are blessed faces.

The looks of the two are very similar, almost carved out of the same mold.

"The two of you are Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao, who are commonly known as the big and small Cao generals?" Zhao Wen stood in front of these two people, looking down at them.

Cao Wenzhao has been staring at Zhao Wen since he entered the palace.

"Hmph, kill or cut as you like!" Cao Wenzhao snorted coldly and turned his head away.

"Dog thief, dog thief, what do you want to do? You can kill or cut as you please, you dog thief!" Cao Bianjiao shouted at Zhao Wen.

Cao Bianjiao is Cao Wenzhao's nephew, and he was at the moment of youth and vigor, so when he saw Zhao Wen, he was furious and kept yelling at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen was not angry because of Cao Bianjiao's insult.

"You two are loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, to be honest, you two are much better than those civil servants.

However, is the Ming Dynasty to which you are loyal really worthy of your allegiance?If the Ming Dynasty is really worthy of your allegiance, can the Ming Dynasty become what it is now?

To be honest, the two of you are indeed talented people, but the Ming Dynasty really does not deserve your allegiance. "

Zhao Wen looked at the two and said calmly.

"Hehe, thief Zhao, do you want me to surrender? Let me tell you, you are dreaming. Pooh, who do you think I am? You are just a rebel!" Cao Bianjiao hoarse at Zhao Wen cursed.

It feels like Zhao Wen is Cao Bianjiao's father-killing enemy.

"Hahahaha!" Zhao Wen laughed straight away, "I told you to surrender to me? What a joke, what a joke.

Now that I have pacified the world, do you think it will do me any good if you surrender to me?What good will it do me if you surrender to me?
Whether you surrender to me or not, it doesn't make any difference to me, anyway, the world has already been taken down. "

Zhao Wen looked at Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao jokingly.

To be honest, the current Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao are useless to Zhao Wen.

The surrender of these two people to Zhao Wen did not bring substantial benefits to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen also had no intention of killing the two of them. Anyway, these two were loyal ministers in history.

Cao Bianjiao didn't know what to say when Zhao Wen said this.

"Put these two people down, lock them up, remember, treat them well!" Zhao Wen pointed at the two people on the ground, and said to the guards who escorted them in.

The personal guards in the main hall took Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao down again.

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Zhao Wen returned to the throne.

At the same time, Zhao Wen's personal guards carried the charred corpse, which was about the same size as Chongzhen, out of the palace.

With a cry, Wang Chengen followed the charred corpse and walked outside.

At the same time, the officials in the city were gathered in the square outside the palace by Zhao Wen's soldiers.

The eunuchs and maids in the square have been brought under control. Although they have not been resettled, a large open space has been cleared.

In the past, Zhao Wen sent his personal guards to the capital to gather those officials in the capital.

Because of the urgent time, it was impossible to gather all the officials, only some officials who were not far from the palace were brought in.

Although the number of officials is small, it is enough.

The main purpose of Zhao Wen's doing this is to spread the news of Chongzhen's death through the mouths of these officials.

The charred corpse, which was about the same size as Chongzhen, was placed on the square outside the palace, and Wang Chengen cried loudly on top of the charred corpse.

"Your Majesty, your death was so miserable, your death was so miserable, Your Majesty!!!"

Wang Chengen's voice was miserable and mournful, echoing non-stop in the square.

After hearing Wang Chengen's cry, the surrounding officials all surrounded him.

"Wang Chengen, what are you doing? Why are you crying?" An official walked up to Wang Chengen and asked, pointing at Wang Chengen.

The official looked at Wang Chengen's appearance, and vaguely thought of what happened to Wang Chengen's words, but he couldn't believe that everything in front of him was true.

Wang Chengen raised his head and looked at the official, "Master Wang, Your Majesty has died for the country. Your Majesty has died for the country, Your Majesty has died for the country!"

Wang Chengen cried with snot and tears.

"What? What did you say? You mean, this charred corpse is His Majesty!" The official pointed at the charred corpse on the ground, his feet were unsteady, and he slumped on the ground.

He really did not expect that Chongzhen would die for his country.

This official can also be regarded as a loyal minister. He looked at the charred corpse on the ground, knelt down, and kowtowed to the charred corpse.

"Your Majesty, why did you go!!!" The official burst into tears just like Wang Chengen.

At this time, the officials who were driven over by Zhao Wen's personal guards also began to cry loudly.

They knelt beside the charred corpse, kowtowed to the charred corpse, and kept crying.

Among these wailing officials, it cannot be said that all officials are loyal ministers, but this time is the time for them to show their performance.

"Your Majesty, how can you behave like this? Why do you want to do this?"

"Your Majesty, why can't you think about it, why are you doing this!!!"

"what!!!"

"Woooooo!"

For a moment, the entire square was filled with the sound of crying and crying for mothers.

Some officials even pretended to rush into the palace to avenge Chongzhen, but when they saw the guns in the hands of Zhao Wen's personal guards, they obediently retreated to the side of the charred corpse, and then burst into tears.

Wang Chengen picked up the death letter written by Chongzhen from Jiao's corpse, and read it aloud.

Wang Chengen's voice was frustrating, coupled with Wang Chengen's crying voice, he was very sad when he read Chongzhen's suicide note.

"Let me see!" An official snatched the suicide note from Wang Chengen's hand.

"This is His Majesty's authentic work, this is Your Majesty's authentic work!!!"

The official looked at the contents of the suicide note and burst into tears. "Your Majesty has really gone, Your Majesty has really gone."

For a while, the crying became much louder.

Wang Chengen was one of the eunuchs that Chongzhen had valued the most during this period of time. Now that Wang Chengen's reaction was added to this death letter written by Chongzhen himself, these officials had to believe it.What's more, this charred corpse is about the same size as Chongzhen.

……

At the same time, Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses were constantly shuttling through the capital, clearing up the defeated soldiers in the city.

As Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses continued to penetrate the capital, the entire capital also began to stabilize.

The common people didn't have much reaction to the current scene, after all, the number of common people in the capital was not much.

The people who were able to escape basically all fled, and the rest of the people were already mentally prepared for the current situation.

There are not many people, but there are many officials.

Zhao Wen's personal guards only brought a small number of officials to the square outside the palace. As for other officials, most of them were not gathered by Zhao Wen's personal guards because they were scattered widely.

It cannot be said that all the officials in the capital are corrupt officials, and some are loyal officials.

Dongge University scholar Fan Jingwen is one of the loyal officials, and he is also an upright official.

In a two-entry house, Fan Jingwen, a scholar of the East Pavilion, sat quietly in the hall.

The shouting and killing outside the door kept coming and going without interruption.

Fan Jingwen looked towards the direction of the palace, and murmured to himself: "My dynasty has been around for nearly 300 years, but the Zhao thief usurped the country, and my dynasty is invincible!

The collapse of the current state is not because your Majesty is not diligent in governing, but because the traitors confused the government. "

While talking, Fan Jingwen suddenly stood up and walked towards the study.

Not long after, Fan Jingwen came to the study.

Fan Jingwen's wife and children are in their hometown, and they are not in the capital with Fan Jingwen.

In the house where Fan Jingwen lived, there were only a few servants who took care of him.

The night before Zhao Wen attacked the city, Fan Jingwen let these servants leave, and now Fan Jingwen is the only one left at home.

Fan Jingwen sat in the study, sighing continuously.

Visiting a rope that had been prepared on the desk, he hung the rope on the beam of the house.

Fan Jingwen stood on the stool and got his neck into the noose.

"Your Majesty, let me go!"

Fan Jingwen yelled in the direction of the palace, kicked the stool away with force.

Fan Jingwen hung on the beam and began to struggle.

Not long after, Fan Jingwen lost his voice.

In addition to Fan Jingwen, there are some officials who are also very staunch.

In a three-entry house not far from Fan Jingwen, Hubu Shangshu was sitting neatly in the hall wearing the official uniform and hat of the Ming Dynasty.

"it's time!"

Hubu Shangshu listened to the shouting outside the door, took a deep breath, and then walked to the backyard.

The door of Shangshu Hubu's house was firmly closed, and a dozen defeated soldiers who had nowhere to escape, being chased by Zhao Wen's soldiers, broke through the door of Shangshu Hubu's house.

However, after these rout soldiers rushed in, they froze inside and were controlled by the follow-up soldiers.

These chasing soldiers still wondered why these rout soldiers didn't run away. When he looked into the hall, he saw two neatly dressed corpses hanging in the hall of the house.

Zhao Wen's soldiers who chased in then inspected the entire house.

In this house, there are a total of thirteen corpses who hanged themselves.

All thirteen members of Ni Yuanlu's family, Minister of the Household Department, hanged themselves.

The leading platoon leader led the soldiers to release the Hubu Shangshu's family from the rope, and placed them neatly in the center of the hall, and then covered them with white cloth one by one.

The platoon leader led the soldiers to escort the rout out of the house, and then locked the door behind him.

In addition to the Shangshu family of the transfer department, Li Banghua, the censor of Zuodu, drowned in the water.

Shi Bangyao, the deputy censor of Zuodu committed suicide, Wang Jiayan, the right servant of the Ministry of War, committed suicide, Ling Yiqu, the minister of Dali Temple, hanged himself, and Meng Zhaoxiang, the right servant of the Ministry of punishment, committed suicide by committing suicide.

Chen Liangmo, the censor of the right capital, committed suicide by throwing himself into a well;

During the Jiashen state change, many officials died for the country, and many officials die for the country now.

In the entire capital, there are not a few officials who committed suicide and died for their country.

However, compared with the total number of officials in the capital, the number of these officials who committed suicide and died for their country is still very small.

As the sun gradually set into the western mountains, the sky also darkened.

Although the routs in the capital have not been cleared, the capital has gradually stabilized. After all, there are not many defenders in the capital.

The palace was completely controlled by Zhao Wen, and all the flames in the palace were extinguished.

Those flustered eunuchs and court ladies were also controlled by Zhao Wen.

These eunuchs and court ladies were temporarily placed in the palace by Zhao Wen. As for the officials gathered by Zhao Wen, Zhao Wen sent them back and sent people to monitor them.

The heavy snow in the sky stopped, and Zhao Wen sat in the Hall of Central Harmony, drinking hot tea.

Beside Zhao Wen, an exquisitely shaped copper furnace exudes heat.

The craftsmen of Daming are really powerful, as long as it is used by the royal family, it is extremely delicate.

Zhao Wen looked at the exquisite copper stove next to him, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank the tea inside.

There is no heating in the Zhonghe Hall, so Zhao Wen can only use this method to keep warm.

Because of limited conditions, Zhao Wen only set up a copper furnace.

The capital city is cold in winter, not to mention the capital city in the Little Ice Age.

A dozen personal guards stood on both sides of the main hall, not looking sideways.

Wang Chengen walked into the hall under the leadership of several personal guards.

Wang Chengen knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed nine times to Zhao Wen.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen pressed his head to the ground.

"Is it done?" Zhao Wen looked at Wang Chengen.

"Return to Your Majesty, the matter has been settled. Those officials all believed that the charred corpse was the bones of His Majesty Chongzhen. With the endorsement of the letter of death, these officials believed it very quickly!" Wang Chengen said confidently.

"After the capital is completely calmed down, I will bury Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian in honor of the emperor.

Remember, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian is dead now, so forget your previous identity.In the future, I will arrange new identities for you, and you will be ordinary people from now on. Zhao Wen looked at Wang Chengen and said expressionlessly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
