Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 74

Because the newly built [-]th Regiment entered the city, several doors were quickly closed, and people were not allowed to enter or leave in the name of strictly investigating thieves. The entire capital was jittery and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

The group of dandies who went in and out of the city gate with their toes high and high on weekdays, after they failed to force their way into the city gate once and were dealt with severely, now they all hold their heads up one by one, pretend to be grandsons, and treat them honestly. In the city, many common people applauded, and finally made them vent their anger.

Fan Yun was guarding a city gate with piercing eyes. At this time, he was in charge of the most important gate, Yongding Gate. He felt that Zhang Yan and the military governor Fang Zhenghua valued him, so he strictly enforced the martial law and never allowed any mistakes.

Because of what Fan Yun did this time, he later gained the title of a door god, but what he wanted to do more was to be a peerless warrior who could charge into battle.

At this time, Zhang Yan brought the [-]th Regiment Battalion back to Beijing in a murderous spirit, and made those big bosses in the capital secretly control the big drama of carrying the coffin and forcing the palace, some couldn't see what Zhang Yan wanted to do, but Everyone was cautiously guarding against this woman's madness, which cannot be deduced with common sense.

After Zhang Yan returned to the palace, she went to Kunning Palace to meet Queen Zhou in person. The queens of the two palaces sat silently. Seeing the sullen look on Zhang Yan's face, Queen Zhou sighed softly and said, "Sister-in-law, you Are you really going to take this step?"

Zhang Yan's eyes were filled with autumn waves, and her face was like Guanyin. Although there was a slightly sullen look on her face, it made her look more interesting. She sighed and said: "They are deceiving people too much. The Ai family is just a weak woman. Female training The above said that women should keep their own place, but there are some things that the Ai family has to do, otherwise it will not only be sorry for their own heart, but also for the ancestors of the old Zhu family. They have already grasped their pockets, so they have to deal with them .”

Empress Zhou's face was full of sadness, and there was endless exhaustion on her beautiful face: "Sister-in-law, this is going to cause public anger. At that time, the scholars of the entire Ming Dynasty will attack together!"

Zhang Yan shook her head, and the eyes of Lying Silkworm were flowing, and she said softly: "There is nothing I can do about Aijia. It is the most dangerous time, and His Majesty has disappeared again. If you don't take the risk, Daming will be hopeless. If you take the risk , maybe still be saved, so what if Aijia is an enemy of the world.<>”

Empress Zhou felt uncomfortable for a while, and tears fell like broken pearls. She came to Zhang Yan's side and sat down, took his hand and said softly: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for you! My sister can help you!" What do you do, the emperor's sister-in-law will tell you all over the place."

Zhang Yan looked at her very calmly, and reached out to wipe away the tears on her face. The pear blossoms were raining, and they were as delicate and beautiful as a begonia in autumn: "We two women, only we can feel sorry for ourselves. Let Aijia do this in this world." Wicked man, you will be the queen of the world."

The mansion of Zhang Fengyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was brightly lit at this moment, and from time to time there were servants who came in and out with lanterns, their faces were cold and stern, as if everyone around them owed them money.

As the so-called seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate, and the people in front of the Minister of War, they are not far from the seventh-rank officials. They usually look arrogant, but now they are different from the past. They have to be careful when doing things. What happened outside caused trouble for my own bamboo.

And in a heavily guarded small courtyard in the mansion, Zhang Fengyi was secretly meeting several mysterious people. Zhang Fengyi's expression was serious, as if he knew that a catastrophe was imminent.

"Now the peasant army is fighting all over the northwest. In the past, the official army could chase the peasant army, but now they are being chased by the peasant army. The situation in the northwest has deteriorated to the point where it can't be controlled. And the red army in the south The sharp sword has already been inserted, if she really wants to use force, it will be difficult to respond from the outside, our chances of winning are very low!"

As soon as Zhang Fengyi's voice ended, someone said coldly: "This hateful woman, if she hadn't been there at that time, we would have been able to control this court seven years ago."

I only heard the other person yelling in a majestic way: "What nonsense are you talking about, you have no brains yet."

Zhang Fengyi also only took a reproachful look at this person, and sighed deeply: "This woman is clever, it's not easy to deal with! She is taking advantage of this moment to make trouble, many people will sympathize with her, and I'm afraid they won't come together with us , then we will be alone.”

"Huh! Those sloppy things, one day I will make them look good." This is what another person said.

Seven years ago, before Emperor Tianqi died of illness, Wei Zhongxian once told this confused emperor that he could find a son of Emperor Tianqi and let him pass the throne to this dummy. It was also Zhang Yan who finally saw through Wei Zhongxian's evil plan. Let Emperor Tianqi wake up, and finally passed the throne to Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, and then cleaned up the eunuch who was the dominant party.

Where did the eunuch party come from? It’s not just the support of those wealthy and wealthy scholars below.

Although Chongzhen had great ambitions and wanted to rectify the government and tidy up the country, he first took the eunuch who was the dominant party and killed Wei Zhongxian who wanted him to die, but there were too many twists and turns in it. But looking around, all eyes are eunuchs, so this case can only be left alone in the end, and the dead are only some eunuchs, and the real evildoers are not removed at all.

These people have returned to the parties, changed their titles, and are still at ease.

Just as this group of people were plotting how to fight Zhang Yan to the death, the officers and soldiers of the five cities and horses who suddenly broke out from the door made them tremble. They all knew that the situation was over at this time. There was no movement beforehand.

Like marmots that have been pulled out of their holes, they were pushed out one by one in embarrassment. Looking at the densely packed [-]th Regiment Battalion outside the courtyard wall, several cannons were aimed at their courtyard, which made these eunuchs Their hearts were shaken. They were able to escape from Chongzhen's hands. It was not that Chongzhen was too stupid, but that he seemed strong, but in fact he was careful and had his own scruples. The entire imperial court will collapse immediately, because the foundation of these scholar-bureaucrats has already touched the roots of Ming Dynasty, and they can be pulled out again.

As for Zhang Yan, they really wanted to force her to step down. At worst, they had to ask her to transfer the [-]th Regiment Battalion out of the capital, but they didn't expect this woman to be more decisive and ruthless than a man in her actions. Not only was she not afraid at all Tossing the Ming Dynasty across, and sending troops to surround them at such a critical juncture.

Looking at the small sedan chair in the darkness in the distance, Zhang Fengyi couldn't help saying loudly: "Da Ming is already a terminally ill patient. He took a dose of medicine that looked like a tiger or wolf, but it was actually mild in nature. Lord, after the past, you can live for another few decades, and you have given the real tiger and wolf medicine, and I will watch in prison, whether you will die or be completely cured."

The other person seemed to feel the same way, and said loudly: "Xuzhou City is occupied by the Red Army, Nanjing will be lost, Ming Dynasty will be destroyed, but you wantonly persecute Zhongliang, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever."

Sitting in the sedan chair, Zhang Yan looked calm. For Zhang Fengyi's words, she reached out her hand several times to meet them, but in the end she did not. It was not because of her courage, but because of her courage, that she administered such a strong medicine. She also meant to resign herself to fate.

The medicine of tigers and wolves, for patients who are terminally ill, is either rebirth or poison, but she has no other choice. These people are pressing every step of the way. If she takes a step back, even though the prince is also in charge of the country, it is in the hands of the courtiers. Power, not only is it difficult to hide the news of Emperor Chongzhen's disappearance, but even the Ming Dynasty will fall apart in advance, and there will be no chance of turning over.

Zhang Yan fumbled for the bracelet in her hand calmly. Although it was not expensive, it was warm and warm, and whispered softly: "Xuzhou City has been taken back, but unfortunately you don't know that only the weak will threaten, and the strong never bother to argue. If you lose, you should be out, Aijia will not stay any longer, and the road has to continue."

At dawn the next day, a lot of courtiers came here and there in the Huangji Hall where the Great Court Meeting was held. It wasn't that they didn't come in the name of recuperating, but that the [-]th Regiment Battalion expelled the soldiers and horses of the five cities to sow them wantonly in the city yesterday. Arresting people, and officials big and small in the entire capital are in a panic. They have to come today, and those who didn't come know that they have been put in prison.

Zhang Yan sat majestically beside the dragon chair, with a beaded curtain hanging in front of it. After the worship, before the courtiers below gave the correct answer, she slapped the royal case hard, stood up and said in a cold voice: "Wen Tiren, you Can be found guilty!"

As you can see in the picture, what you want is the white knife in and the red knife out, without any concealment or affectation.

Wen Tiren, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, could no longer, and did not dare to put on a calm and peaceful appearance. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yan directly burned the flames of war on his body, and quickly softened his knees, and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy.

She is going to play a big game of chess!
