Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Prince Zhu Cihong sat in the car, although surrounded by a large number of eunuchs and officials, he still felt restless.

All of the former crown prince's broomsticks had been destroyed, but now the set used by Zhu Cihong was still made in the outer city, so it seemed a bit nondescript, and it didn't reflect the majesty of the royal family at all.The accompanying officials had bright clothes. When they fled, they all kept their official robes. No wonder they were all "professional players".

When the vanguard of the Runing Army arrived at the capital, Yang Rusong finally opened the gate of the outer city to welcome the Runing Army.But when everyone went to the inner city to see, they only saw devastation and broken walls.Before the Qing army withdrew, they really didn't even leave a chicken or dog behind!

Because it was already inevitable, under the persuasion of trusted ministers, there was no prince Zhu Cihong who advocated by himself, so he could only go out of the city gate to welcome Wu Shigong's arrival.But his heart was still trembling with fear, for fear that Wu Shigong, a martial artist, would do some outrageous things.Because a few days ago, when Professor Dong Gong was teaching Zhu Cihong, he happened to talk about Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing.So now Zhu Cihong is just thinking wildly, not knowing how to deal with the coming general, Wu Shigong.

"His Royal Highness! General Dangkou is coming!" The eunuch next to the prince Zhu Cihong reminded.The eunuch wanted to remind Zhu Cihong to get off the car and greet Wu Shigong who was about to arrive.

"Gu knows. But... but will the general who is a traitor be harmful to Gu?" The prince Zhu Cihong was a child after all, so he asked the eunuch in a low voice, and his face turned a little pale.

"Your Highness, please don't worry! Wu Dangkou is also a noble son and has a reputation as a student, so he should not do such rude things." The eunuch comforted.

After hearing these comforting words, Prince Zhu Cihong felt a little relieved.He finally stood up from the car, and said to the eunuch: "Then Xu Banban will help the orphan out of the car!"

Behind the prince Zhu Cihong, there is also a group of people around, among them is a young man who is also looking forward to it, he is the son of Marquis Yangwu - Xue Chenglin.

Xue Chenglin is quite unfamiliar with his father.But he also kept hearing some rumors about his father.There are good things, but there are more bad things, and those rumors portrayed Xue Chenglin as a military officer with outstanding military exploits but arrogant and domineering.

But when Xue Chenglin asked about his grandfather and mother.Their descriptions are completely opposite. They all say that Wu Shigong is a person who loves his family and is loyal and righteous.This made Xue Chenglin very curious, so he always wanted to meet his legendary father.

"Come! Come!" The crowd suddenly became commotion.At the end of the official road, a group of knights with distinctive armor finally appeared.Guarding Wu Shigong, he got closer and closer.And Xue Chenglin's neck stretched as much as possible.

Almost all of the 10,000+ troops brought by Wu Shigong this time were stationed on the outskirts of the capital, passing through Tongzhou.Zhou Yanru, the former chief assistant of the cabinet, also tactfully opened the city to welcome him.And the whole army surrendered to the Runing Army.

And Wu Shigong only brought more than 1 people from the personal army and the Education Association into the city.However, all the main officers of the Runing Army also accompanied Wu Shigong to the capital, so this team is really full of stars.

"Rusong! You played well!" Wu Shigong greeted Yang Rusong with a smile when he saw Yang Rusong who was out to greet him.

"My lord! The last general...the last general, fortunately he fulfilled his mission!" Yang Rusong was also very excited, trembling, and could only say these few words.

"Then follow!" Wu Shigong waved his whip casually.He signaled Yang Rusong to follow him.This time, Wu Shigong's family members are safe and sound, that is definitely due to Yang Rusong's contribution.So Wu Shigong did not hesitate to give Yang Rusong a seat as a chauffeur, as a way to praise him.

The leading officials led Wu Shigong and the others to Prince Zhu Cihong, and introduced them: "This is His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Wu Shigong was riding on the horse.Smiling and looking at the prince Zhu Cihong standing in front of him, he didn't have the slightest intention of dismounting to salute, the sharp eyes made the prince Zhu Cihong feel chills all over his body.After seeing this scene, the surrounding officials were also silent.

It was the crown prince Zhu Cihong who broke the deadlock first. Having received good court etiquette training, he was the first to bow and salute according to his habit: "Thank you, General."

Wu Shigong also smiled slightly, and he bowed condescendingly on the horse to return the gift: "Thank you, Your Highness. The last general is exhausted and wants to rest first. After washing up, I will come to see His Highness the Crown Prince. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Then Wu Shigong ignored the stunned prince Zhu Cihuang, and drove his horse to his father Gongshun Hou Wu Weizhong and his father-in-law Yangwu Hou Xue Lian, dismounted and saluted them, and then ordered the soldiers around him to bring an empty horse , pulled up the eldest son Xue Chenglin who was kneeling on the ground and saluted him, and said to him: "Good boy! Come with me!"

Watching Wu Shigong walk towards the back of the imperial city, the officials who came to greet him were all exchanging eyes.In this situation, Wu Shigong made no secret of Sima Zhao's heart, so where are these officials going to go?

When Wu Shigong and his party came to the Forbidden City, he had mixed feelings.Looking at the majestic imperial city, this is the end of the struggle of the heroes of the world.But now it's so close to me, it's almost within reach, it really feels like a dream.

In just a few short months, Emperor Chongzhen, Li Zicheng, and Huang Taiji all became the masters of this imperial city.But the situation changed, and finally the Forbidden City fell into the hands of Wu Shigong.And all of this, how could Wu Shigong not be excited?Why not make Wu Shigong proud?

"Hahaha——! Let's go! Come in with me!" Amidst loud laughter, Wu Shigong took the lead to step on the bridge deck of Jinshui Bridge...

……

When Wu Shigong led a group of generals into the Huangji Hall and looked at the dragon chair in the middle of the hall, his heart was surging.That day when he left Beijing, he was like a bereaved dog, but today he is so close to the Nine-Five Supreme.The bitterness and suffering of the past ten years is really unbearable to look back on.

Back then, when he had just traveled through time, Wu Shigong was content with the life of a dandy, and only wanted to live a wealthy life.I didn't expect to be in the reign of Chongzhen, so I worked hard in Guide, that is, I wanted to keep the family safe.Afterwards, he worked his ass off in Runing, went through numerous dangers, and fought for the rest of his life before laying the foundation of the Runing Army.In the end, I didn't expect that within a year, Lian Keqiang led the army into the Forbidden City.

Although the success of the Runing Army has an element of luck, but now it is a strong enemy looking around.But the dragon chair is the dragon chair, as long as Wu Shigong sits on it, he will be the rightful emperor.

And the generals behind Wu Shigong were also whispering, and their faces were also full of excited expressions.When Wu Shigong ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, these old men of the Runing Army will all have meritorious service.It is inevitable that a high-ranking official and a generous salary will pass on the blessings to his entire family.So now these generals are also looking forward to Wu Shigong putting on the dragon robe as soon as possible.

But in the atmosphere at that time, when the emperor ascended the throne, he had to be persuaded three times by the ministers to show the emperor's humble attitude.So these generals are discussing: Should we persuade them to enter now?

Some old-fashioned people also wondered: Will Wu Shigong first make the prince Zhu Cihong the new emperor, and then take the emperor to order the princes to calm down the Quartet.Wait until the fruit is ripe, and then force the new emperor to abdicate. From a procedural point of view, it will appear much more legitimate.

Wu Shigong heard the generals discussing in a low voice behind him, he turned around and said with a smile: "I knew it, you bastards can't wait."

"Hahaha——!" There was a burst of hearty laughter in the hall.

Wu Shigong took Xue Chenglin's hand beside him, and walked up to the throne step by step.When he came to the gold-painted throne with cloud and dragon patterns, Wu Shigong looked at the seven large gold-painted screens carved with cloud and dragon patterns behind the throne, and then looked at the dragon chair with thirteen golden dragons wrapped around the chair circle, and then he did not hesitate. Sit up hesitantly.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Wu Shigong smiled slightly at Xue Chenglin who was standing beside him, and said: "In the future, you will sit here too."

One, two, three... Everyone in the hall knelt down one after another, bowing three times and kneeling nine times to Wu Shigong.

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
