Daming: Start with an Altar of Luck

Chapter 96 Entering the Customs (Please Subscribe!)
In the Wenhua Palace, suddenly there was a burst of fatherly kindness and filial piety, and the atmosphere was also joyous.

The father and son discussed many details. As for the completion of this plan, it will definitely not take a day or two. It can only be perfected slowly. Anyway, there is no rush in time. Daming will have to maintain this state at least in the next year before it can be alleviated.

It was getting dark before he knew it, and Lao Zhu was about to drive Zhu Biao away, because today he was going to Kunning Palace to have dinner with his sister, who said she baked his favorite sesame seed cakes, and she made them by herself Zhu Biao’s delicious duck blood soup is Lao Zhu’s favorite, how can Zhu Biao go to share Empress Ma’s love for him, so it’s better to drive away first.

"Okay, Biao'er, it's getting late, you go back." Lao Zhu waved to Zhu Biao, indicating that Zhu Biao could go.

"My son will leave." Zhu Biao didn't hesitate either. After all, Empress Ma said that he was going to have dinner today, saying that it was baked pancakes. Zhu Biao knew that Lao Zhu would definitely go, and since his mother had already spoken, he was sure. is going.

But looking at Lao Zhu's appearance, I was afraid that he might not know that he was going too, so he simply didn't say anything, and went there first.

After leaving the Wenhua Palace, he took the little eunuch Wang Yong with him, and walked quickly towards Kunning Palace.

After a while, Lao Zhu came out of the Wenhua Palace and asked Erhu casually, "Has the crown prince returned to the East Palace?"

"Your Majesty, the direction the prince is going to is not like the East Palace, but rather like the Queen's Kunning Palace." Erhu said it directly without hesitation.

Old Zhu was taken aback when he heard this, and then cursed in a low voice: "You son of a bitch, go grab our girl again."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Erhu's reaction, he quickly walked towards Kunning Palace.

Before Lao Zhu arrived at Kunning Palace, Zhu Biao had already eaten the sesame seed baked by Empress Ma herself.

"You son of a bitch, put down the biscuits for us." Before Lao Zhu reached Kunning Palace, his voice had already come in from afar.

Shivering while nibbling on the biscuits, he was taken aback by Lao Zhu's roar. Zhu Biao hadn't seen Lao Zhu so furious for a long time. He remembered that last time it was his stupid younger brothers who provoked Lao Zhu by teasing cats and dogs. .

"Did Lao Zhu take gunpowder again today? Why don't you just eat some biscuits?" Zhu Biao was full of doubts, and he came here to eat a few in order not to compete with Lao Zhu.

Just when Zhu Biao was still thinking about why Lao Zhu was so irritable, a big hand grabbed towards the biscuits in his hand, and just when Zhu Biao was about to stretch out the other hand to block it, Lao Zhu's other hand had already grabbed it. When he reached Zhu Biao's shoulder, he shook it slightly, and then Zhu Biao felt that his whole body strength was gone, and the other hand dropped before it was raised.

Then look at the sesame seed cake that he just took a bite of in his hand, it's gone, it's already in Lao Zhu's hands.

"Old Zhu can't hide it. This is at least the state of energy transformation. It's hard to say whether it's higher!" Zhu Biao secretly clicked his tongue in his heart. With a grasp and a shake, he was a master of dark energy, and all the strength in his body disappeared. up.

After the biscuits were in hand, Lao Zhu let go of Zhu Biao's hand on his shoulder, and Zhu Biao felt the strength of his whole body come back. Just being caught by Lao Zhu, Zhu Biao felt as if he had returned to the time when he had never practiced martial arts, even weaker than that time .

"Father, you don't talk about martial arts anymore, can you grab my biscuits if you are strong?" Zhu Biao rolled his eyes.

"Why, you have an opinion, let's talk about it after your strength surpasses me, little brat." Lao Zhu said indifferently, his eyes raised and he wanted to grab something from us, humming.

"Mother, daddy snatched my sesame seed cakes." Zhu Biao didn't bother to pay attention to Lao Zhu, and yelled loudly.

"Ah~"

Old Zhu almost choked to death with a mouthful of sesame seed cakes, this little bastard doesn't follow the rules, how could he summon the boss as soon as he came up.

"You little brat!"

"Chongba, are you bullying Biao'er again?"

Before Lao Zhu finished speaking, Empress Ma came over with a plate of sesame seed cakes. Generally, whenever Lao Zhu came to Kunning Palace, Empress Ma would cook for Lao Zhu herself. Lao Zhu enjoyed this kind of food very much. world of two people.

"No, how could we bully Biao'er, Biao'er, don't you think so!" Old Zhu said to Empress Ma, one hand had already fallen on Zhu Biao's shoulder.

"Um~"

The feeling of general weakness came again, why does Lao Zhu like to do things so much now, I remember it was not like this before!Zhu Biao was so weak that he couldn't even speak.

Fortunately, Lao Zhu just patted it lightly twice, then raised his hand, but he didn't move, and continued to stand beside Zhu Biao, preventing Zhu Biao from rebelling at any time.

"Shh."

When Zhu Biao saw that Lao Zhu stopped his hand, he was about to jump up and run to Empress Ma. Lao Zhu reacted very quickly, and pressed Zhu Biao with one hand again.

"I've been on guard against you for a long time, little bastard." Lao Zhu curled his lips in disdain, and wanted to run away from me. If I let you run away, I will take your last name.

"Chong Ba, don't let go yet." Empress Ma had already walked in front of the two of them, put the biscuits on the table first, and then glared at Lao Zhu.

"Haha, let's see if Biao'er has become stronger recently." After saying that, Lao Zhu patted him twice again, and lifted Zhu Biao lightly.

The familiar feeling came again, Zhu Biao rolled his eyes to the sky, how could this old Zhu be so narrow-minded, didn't he just eat a cake baked by your daughter-in-law?

"Let's make you greedy, eat the food before it's ready." Empress Ma said to Zhu Biao with a smile on her face.

"It's not that my mother's cooking is too delicious. I can't help the glutton in my stomach." After Zhu Biao regained his freedom from the old Zhu, he quickly complimented Empress Ma. You must know that Empress Ma is from their Zhu family. Boss, you can offend Lao Zhu but not Queen Ma.

Seeing that Zhu Biao did not file a complaint again, Lao Zhu gave Zhu Biao a sensible look.

A not-so-rich dinner, the family of three enjoyed it happily. Of course, no important national affairs were discussed at the dinner table. You must know that the harem has rules in the harem. It is not easy for Lao Zhu to come. Empress Ma made an agreement that after closing the door at home, she has the final say, and outside the house is where Lao Zhu has the final say.

When Zhu Biao's family had a reunion dinner, Wu Sangui in the late Ming world couldn't eat anymore.

He just received a letter from Daming yesterday, and today the army is under his nose. Isn't this deceiving Wu Sangui?

Now that the army has directly entered Funing City, Wu Sangui doesn't know what to do. There are tigers in front and wolves in back. It is not a wise choice to choose either side now.

And now he is caught in the middle of two forces, the most uncomfortable, the corner of his mouth has already shown signs of getting angry overnight.

So Wu Sangui hesitated. He hesitated whether to let Manqing enter the pass to accept the prince of the Qing Dynasty, or continue to be loyal to Daming. In fact, his heart is inclined to continue to be loyal to Daming. After all, no one wants to be a traitor.

But Daming’s letter didn’t promise him any official position at all. He just praised Wu Sangui for his devotion to his duty, and nothing else. He didn’t even draw a cake. How could Wu Sangui choose?
"My lord, the Manchu Qing has sent someone to deliver a message, and the Manchu Qing army has already cut down trees outside the city to make siege equipment."

Wu Sangui's personal bodyguard opened the door and handed Wu Sangui a letter from the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, Wu Sangui was not as leisurely as before. He opened the letter and read it. The meaning is very simple. If the gate of Shanhaiguan is not opened tomorrow, the Qing warriors will attack the city, and everything discussed before will be useless. .

Of course, if you open Shanhaiguan in time at dawn tomorrow, the promise made by the Qing Dynasty to you before will be as valid.

Wu Sangui frowned, now he was riding a tiger, and Daming didn't offer him the conditions he wanted, and he was already leaning towards Manqing.

After all, his Guan Ning Iron Cavalry has often collided with the Eight Banners cavalry in recent years, and he still has some understanding of the strength of the Eight Banners cavalry.

Naturally, the siege will not dismount the Eight Banners cavalry, but the Manchu Qing still has the Han cavalry led by the three kings of Shun, who can completely dismount and attack the city.

"Wu Weiquan, go and deliver a letter to Dorgon. I need to talk to him. If he wants to talk, I'll send someone to put down the hanging basket tonight and see if he dares to come."

"Yes, my lord." Wu Weiquan accepted the task without hesitation. It was nothing more than going out of the city to deliver a letter to the Manchu camp. As for the danger of life, Wu Weiquan never considered it. It can be said that these personal guards were all trained by Wu Sangui. The dead men only obey Wu Sangui, even if Wu Sangui tells them to die, these people will not hesitate, they believe that even if they die, Wu Sangui will take good care of their families.

"Brother, what does Wu Sangui want to do? You must not go." In the Qing army camp, Duoduo was angry after reading Wu Sangui's letter.

Dorgon still looked calm, with no obvious emotional changes on his face, and he was also thinking about whether to enter the customs alone.

"Okay, don't talk about Duoduo. I will go to Shanhaiguan tonight. I don't believe it. Wu Sangui is not at all tempted by the conditions offered by my Qing Dynasty. Even if he is only a little bit tempted, my life will be guaranteed. If not Go, Shanhaiguan is not so easy to win."

Dorgon, who had been silent all this time, thought about it and decided to go there in person, because he felt that Wu Sangui must have been tempted, or else their Manchu army was closing in so close, how could Wu Sangui not be there these days? movement.

"Brother, it's not right. If Wu Sangui has murderous intentions and you enter the city alone, what should you do?" Duoduo's face was full of anxiety. Dorgon went on an adventure alone.

"Okay, I've made up my mind, so it's settled. Today I will enter the customs alone. If I have not left the customs at dawn, you lead the army to attack the city directly. There is no need to delay the time. No matter who wins, Daming or Li Zicheng We can't give them enough time to reorganize the country, this time is the only chance for me to establish the world."

Dorgon's words were full of confidence in himself. He believed that Wu Sangui would definitely submit to the Qing Dynasty. After all, although the Qing Dynasty had less supplies, they did not lack gold, silver and treasures, and they were willing to promise a high position. He did not believe that Wu Sangui would not be tempted.

"Okay, brother, if you haven't come back before dawn, I will lead an army to attack the city. If you don't come back, I will kill Wu Sangui and use his head to pay homage to you." Seeing that Dorgon had made up his mind, Duoduo said, He could only swallow the words of dissuasion that he hadn't spoken yet.

"Go down and arrange the army to get ready, the army will enter the customs tomorrow."

"Yes Yes!"
