I have a cornucopia

Chapter 81 Your Majesty, you must rise up!

As for Chongzhen...

His Majesty the Emperor has just returned to his loyal Palace of Qianqing.

"You bitches, do you want to rebel?"

He was panting like an angry bull.

Then he grabbed the tea cups on the table and threw them at Xu Yunzhen...

He was almost kidnapped.

Just like his brother during the palace transfer case, he was surrounded by trusted eunuchs, nobles, and even his royal guards. However, at that time, his brother was Luo Yangxing and his father Luo Sigong. The father and son were indeed of the same origin. In short, these people were just like their brother, pulling his arms, holding his shoulders, and pushing him from behind, just like that, they dragged him down Dong'anmen. He was even worse than his elder brother. When his elder brother was at least nine thousand years old and Hakka, he was trying to pull him back, but he didn't even have anyone to pull him back.

Including his father-in-law.

His father-in-law also dragged him under the city wall!

Xu Yunzhen quickly dodged, and the teacup and the water inside hit his father-in-law.

The latter quickly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the situation is critical, and I am doing this for your Majesty's safety."

Zhou Kui said with a look of fear.

"Uncle Jiading, what happened?"

At this time, Queen Zhou came out and looked at her father with an angry face.

"Back to the Queen, Your Majesty was at Dong'an Gate to pacify the rioters in the city. We didn't want the sudden fire at Anding Gate. Duke Dingguo and Luo Zhangyin were worried about His Majesty's safety, so they took Your Majesty back to the palace. They left in a hurry and did not have time to explain clearly to Your Majesty. "

Zhou Kui said quickly.

"that's it?"

Queen Zhou looked at the nobles calmly.

The latter's expressions were obviously wrong.

"Long live Lord, if this is the case, it is because of the loyalty of these veterans. Long live Lord, how can you live in a dangerous place? It is only right to return to the palace first."

She then turned around and said with a smile.

Chongzhen also calmed down. Indeed, he could only swallow this breath now. Wang Dehua, the admiral of Dongchang, Luo Yangxing, the royal guard, and the nobles in charge of various gates in the imperial city were all inside. He was now a caged bird. , what else can I do if I don’t swallow this breath? After all, it is not difficult to let him die. Anyway, he has a prince. His Majesty the Emperor was angry to death by Yang Feng. The prince succeeded to the throne and issued a posthumous edict to punish the traitors...

How pleasing to the ear!

he……

He'd better be honest!

The nobles looked at each other, and Xu Yunzhen suddenly fell to his knees.

Then they knelt down together.

"Your Majesty, I am only loyal to Your Majesty and to the Ming Dynasty. I live with the country and everything is given by Your Majesty. How can I be someone who is stingy with money and material things? I just can't bear Your Majesty's humiliation for that traitor and just sit back and watch. When he caused trouble in the capital, didn't your Majesty see that he was inciting the unruly people step by step? He first led them to extort money, so that they could taste the sweetness, and then incited them to ask for more. Your Majesty was kind and gave them what they wanted. But people's hearts are not as strong as snakes swallowing elephants. When they see that Your Majesty can be bullied, they will naturally want more. If Your Majesty gives them what they want, they will not stop there. Instead, they will think that they can ask for more, so they will continue to cause more trouble. They force your Majesty to give more, and they go up step by step like climbing a city. When all your Majesty can give them will eventually be exhausted. At that time, your Majesty has no way out, there is a cliff behind, and it will be too late to get up again.

I was really anxious before. Even if Your Majesty is convicted after this incident, I will be willing to surrender. "

Xu Yunzhen said while lying on the ground with an expression of absolute loyalty.

"Your Majesty, I have only one heart of loyalty."

Then others quickly shouted.

Chongzhen said nothing.

A great eunuch wearing a steel fork hat quietly walked into the hall and knelt down.

"Long live my lord, Lu Daqi, the right minister of the Ministry of War, Tang Tong, the commander-in-chief of Miyun, and Zhang Ruxing, the commander-in-chief of Tongzhou, have been ordered by the Ministry of War to go to Beijing to suppress the civil uprising. They have now entered Bei'anmen. Lu Daqi is waiting to see you outside Xuanwu Gate."

He said.

"Who gave him the transfer order?"

Chongzhen's expression changed and he shouted immediately.

This kind of matter is of a very serious nature, and such an order would absolutely not be possible without his imperial edict.

This is the border army.

Without an imperial edict, would the Minister of War dare to recruit border troops to Beijing or even enter the imperial city? Without an imperial edict, would the ministers who were overseeing the army dare to lead the border troops into the capital or even the imperial city just by relying on orders from the Ministry of War? And it was obviously brought in. No matter what the reason was, the nature could be characterized as treason.

Normally, these three people would be enough to kill the nine tribes.

At this time, Wang Dehua also ran in with a look of panic and threw himself to the ground.

"Long live my lord, that Yang Ni commanded the unruly people to break through Dong'an Gate and almost broke into Donghua Gate. Fortunately, King Qin's army arrived and blocked the bridge outside Donghua Gate. That Yang Ni was still inciting the unruly people to break into the Qianqing Palace. .”

He said.

He quickly entered the palace when he saw Wang Chengen entering the palace.

Anyway, now that Chongzhen is in the palace, they can talk about things outside as they please. This is the important point of dragging His Majesty the Emperor back before. As long as Chongzhen and the unruly people outside have no chance to face each other, everything will be manipulated casually. However, he was not completely wrong. The two sides did confront each other outside Donghua Gate. King Qin's army entered the imperial city in two ways at Bei'an Gate. They climbed up the city wall and walked along the city wall, passing through the Secretary of Ceremonies and other places, and then along the The moat goes south to block Donghua Gate.

But entering the palace is not possible.

Entering the Imperial City is no big deal. The Imperial City is originally guarded by personal military guards.

But the four gates of Donghua, Xuanwu, Xihua and Chengtian will not work.

"Your Majesty, the situation is critical now. Don't worry about who summoned Lu Daqi to the capital. Maybe it was Zhang Guowei who did it without authorization. It doesn't matter anymore. Yang Ni obviously intends to kill the king. King Qin's army happens to be there, so let them guard the palace. Minister. Please allow your majesty to allow him to enter the Xuanwu and other gates to defend the city, and to summon other ministries to the capital. Yang Ni alone is not a concern. It is a big danger to continue to let him incite the unruly people. But the unruly people are afraid of death after all. If your majesty orders all the armies to let go If we kill thousands of unruly people, we will naturally not dare to follow Yang Ni and cause chaos again. We should first suppress these unruly people and then deal with Yang Ni."

Xu Yunzhen said quickly.

Chongzhen...

Chongzhen is not stupid, this Tamar is obviously caused by these nobles and these eunuchs.

Zhang Guowei would definitely not call Lu Daqi to Beijing.

Because Zhang Guowei has always been firmly opposed to calling in the border troops to Beijing, he can't firmly oppose it while secretly asking Lu Daqi to enter Beijing, right? And Lu Daqi wouldn't listen. The latter was indeed a bit hot-tempered. He was from Sichuan. He had been expelled from the court because of his hot temper and was only recalled last month.

But he knows what's appropriate.

He wouldn't have led his troops to Beijing unless he saw the imperial edict!

This kind of thing is of a special nature, and without an imperial edict, all other documents are useless.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, he will take the blame.

There must be an imperial edict.

This thing is really not difficult to fake.

Because the imperial edict is written by the Supervisor of Ceremonies and stamped by the Supervisor of Ceremonies, it does not necessarily have to be a formal imperial edict. In case of emergency, a formal edict will be enough, and it will be more complete if it is accompanied by a transfer order from the Ministry of War. Moreover, Lu Daqi should have heard about the civil uprising in the capital last night. When the imperial edict arrived, he saw that the situation was urgent and there was no time to hesitate. Anyway, it was only less than a hundred miles away.

Even if the cavalry travels at night, one night is enough.

Therefore, some of the great eunuchs in the palace, especially the Chief of Ceremonies, wrote this imperial edict, and then someone from the Ministry of War also cooperated in writing this transfer order. This was even done yesterday evening. After all, even as a cavalryman, Lu Daqi had to I had to run hundreds of miles to get there at night. So yesterday, when Yang Feng blackmailed the nobles of the capital, and he refused to call the border troops to Beijing to suppress, these nobles colluded with the eunuchs in the palace to summon Lu Daqi. After all, after Yang Feng was assassinated, all the gates in the capital were closed immediately, and the military households went up to the city wall. The person who sent this imperial edict could only leave the city before evening.

Such behavior……

In fact, it is understandable. After all, the nobles are really angry, and the eunuchs are also afraid. They are also rich. Each of these eunuchs has a millionaire, and the same goes for Luo Yangxing.

They have real interests and really want to suppress these unruly people.

And His Majesty the Emperor's previous treatment was obviously to sacrifice them to appease the unruly people. Then there will be a second time for this kind of thing. This is for sure. If they can't solve it forcefully, there will definitely be a second time soon. Yes, this is actually the second time now, so if His Majesty the Emperor doesn’t suppress it, then secretly recruit the border troops to suppress it!

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor is really filled with anger...

The ministers are not ministers, the people are not the people!

No one takes him as the emperor seriously!

but……

He still had to endure it.

He still has to pretend that he knows nothing.

"There are all military households in the city, how can we kill them randomly? As for the suppression, the main thing is to give orders, and the matter will be presided over by Duke Dingguo. As for Lu Daqi, let him discuss it with Duke Dingguo. I'm tired!"

Chongzhen said.

He would not order a suppression!

As long as he didn't order the suppression, it means he didn't break up with Yang Feng, and with his daughter there, Yang Feng couldn't kill him. In this case, let's use his strengths and continue to shirk responsibility. If you are willing to suppress you, go ahead Suppression, anyway, my will was announced, but in the end it became uncontrollable, so I put the responsibility on these nobles.

It was originally they who did it.

As for suppressing it...

That's a good thing.

Doesn't he want to suppress it?

he thinks.

He just didn't dare.

If it weren't for Yang Feng, he wouldn't have succumbed even the first time. He was just a treacherous person. If he fired at them, those who dared to continue to cause trouble would have starved to death by hundreds of people every day. Sometimes there were thousands. Those Aren’t the unruly people also causing trouble? It was only when Yang Feng came that they had hope that they would cause trouble.

Without Yang Feng, they would still be just An An starving to death.

In this case, why not just sit back and watch?

After saying that, he stood up and walked straight inside...

"Long live Lord, you guys let me go, Du Zhizhi, you bitch, let me go, I want to see Long live Lord, Long live Lord, I have something to report, Long live Lord..."

Then Wang Chengen's voice came faintly.

"Where's the noise?"

Chongzhen shouted.

The faces of everyone in front of him changed slightly.

"Long live my lord, maybe it's on the city wall."

Wang Dehua said quickly.

"Du Zhizhi, I will fight with you!"

Then Lao Wang's shout sounded again.

But it's not the Qianqing Gate. The Qianqing Gate is more than a hundred meters away from here. And with Lao Wang's mind, he also knows that he can't enter the Qianqing Gate. This guy's voice is on the left, probably outside the east wall. I guess He wanted to sneak into the Qianqing Palace through a few small doors on the side, but was ambushed by Du Zhizhi and his men.

"Maybe I heard wrongly."

Chongzhen smiled coldly and could only pretend not to listen.

He and Queen Zhou left immediately, leaving a group of people in the hall looking at each other...

"Tell Tang Tong to let go and kill these unruly people. When these unruly people are suppressed, the three hundred thousand taels will belong to him. He also wants to share our money and food. Even if he feeds the dogs, he will not give it to these unruly people. We have the money and we also have the food." , if we don’t tolerate them, I don’t believe that even if we chop off tens of thousands of heads, there are still unruly people who dare to continue causing trouble.”

Xu Yunzhen said viciously.

"It's just your Majesty..."

Zhou Kui hesitated to speak with some fear.

"Uncle Jiading, you are the head of the country, what are you afraid of? Your Majesty is confused. Who does he rely on to guard the Ming Dynasty? Civil servants? Those civil servants don't care who is the emperor. They are all from aristocratic families. As long as they are still admitted to the imperial examination, they will It's their master. Those general soldiers? They surrendered too many to build captives. If you have milk, it's your mother's thing. Only those of us who live with the country are truly one with the Ming Dynasty. What does it mean to live with the country? Without the Ming Dynasty, there would be nothing. We, this is called living together with the country, if he doesn’t believe us, how can he believe those outsiders?”

said a marquis.

Everyone nodded.

It's as if they didn't surrender when Li Zicheng came next year.

It is true that some of the nobles in the capital managed to retire with the country, but most of those who died were actually pinched to death by Liu Zongmin. The three Dukes were all tortured to death after surrendering.

"Let's go to Xuanwu Gate."

Zhang Zhiji and his son Zhang Shize said.

This one was also tortured to death.

A group of nobles walked towards Qianqing Gate with great ambition.

At this time, in the corridor next to them, Wang Chengen, who was being held down by the eunuch Du Zhizhi and a dozen small firemen, was walking north...

"You guys, be gentle!"

He suddenly shouted to a small flamer who caught him, as usual.

The latter was stunned for a moment, and then instinctively let go. After all, Lao Wang was also one of the top eunuchs in the palace, and he was a good person. Those little firemen were used to obeying his orders, and they didn't think too much in their haste. Just by instinct. But the moment he let go, Lao Wang suddenly broke away from him, then pushed the other Little Fireman away and ran forward like crazy.

After all, he had walked on the Yungui Mountain Road, so he ran very fast.

"Get him, you little bitches!"

Du Zhizhi shouted anxiously.

This guy led Li Zicheng's horse into the capital.

Those little flamers hurried to catch up.

But they are also very clever. The palace is in chaos now, and no one knows what the final result will be. There is no guilt for not catching Lao Wang, but if Lao Wang turns over in the future, he will be dead. Their pursuit was obviously perfunctory, but Du Zhizhi watched anxiously as Lao Wang ran further and further away.

"Dogs, dogs, what a bunch of trash!"

He panted and slapped a little flamer next to him and cursed.

The latter quickly fanned himself with a smile on his face.

But it’s not a big deal.

Anyway, don't let Lao Wang see Chongzhen. He can't see him now, and it doesn't matter whether he can be caught or not.

But Lao Wang was running in the wrong direction, he was running north.

So soon the prince and his father-in-law got into the harem where the concubines lived in the east.
