Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 196 Never Be the King of Escape

Zhu Yousong listened to Liu Zhaoji's words with a calm expression. The sound of guns around him rang out, and the small pavilion turned into dust and scattered, but Zhu Yousong's eyes remained firm, and he squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "I can't go."

"But Your Majesty...it's too dangerous. The Judgment Army relies on their numbers and their superiority in artillery fire. This place may be razed to the ground in a short while."

"Your Majesty, I will keep His Majesty out of the city. As long as we leave Huai'an, we will have a solution."

Liu Zhaoji and Li Quan tried hard to persuade him.

Zhu Yousong knew that if he really agreed to escape from the Dongping uncle's mansion with them, it was really unknown whether he could leave the city. Okay? Do you know why the late Emperor Chongzhen didn't let the northern capital escape to the south?"

The two generals looked at each other and shook their heads. They were really puzzled by this matter. At that time, Zuo Zhongyun and Li Mingrui had persuaded Emperor Chongzhen to let go of Beijing and move south.Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen also knew that if he abandoned the northern capital and fled to the south, there would still be a chance to retaliate, but why not?
Zhu Yousong continued: "The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country. No matter when and where I am in the Ming Dynasty, in the nearly 300 years of the country, there has never been a record of marriage, tribute, land cession, or compensation. The dynasties are incomparable. At that time, Emperor Yongle moved his capital to Beijing and conquered Mongolia in five years. Yingzong was captured in the transformation of Mutubao. No matter how rampant the thieves are, didn’t the ancestors survive? Don’t tell me that these chaotic officials and thieves are stirring up trouble, and I will be the king of fugitives?”

After Zhu Yousong's impassioned words, Liu Zhaoji and Li Quan dared not persuade him anymore. The two generals were full of enthusiasm, expressing that they would protect His Majesty to live and die with this palace.

Half an hour later, countless Huai'an generals surrounded Dongping Bo's Mansion, and the three inner and outer floors were impenetrable.At this time, the Dongping Bo Mansion had been bombed beyond recognition. In addition to the front door, back door and side door, many side doors were opened. Liu Zhaoji and Zheng Longfang were also injured. various gaps.

At this time, the sky was gray, and Feng Zhishan and Yao Wenchang had tossed all night. Seeing that victory was in sight, they were about to order their troops to rush in and arrest Zhu Yousong to save their uncle. Afterwards, he withdrew from the place of one arrow, thinking that Zhu Yousong was going to lead the crowd to break out from here, so countless guns and crossbow arrows were aimed at the gate of the mansion.

At this moment, Zhu Yousong stepped out from the inside without even riding a horse, closely followed by dozens of guards including Liu Zhaoji, Zheng Longfang, and Li Quan, who were also tied up behind him. With disheveled hair, a dejected look on his face, and a distraught look.

"Where are Feng Zhishan and Yao Wenchang?" Zhu Yousong stood still in front of the mansion and asked these generals.

These generals didn't expect that Zhu Yousong was still so calm at this time, and dared to come out and meet their leader?Is it necessary to compromise?Not daring to be the master, hurriedly reported on the flying horse, the time is not long, the Huai'an army will flash towards the two, surrounded by the guards, two tall horses appear in Zhu Yousong's sight, it is Liu Zeqing's chief officer Feng Zhi And General Yao Wenchang.

He didn't rest all night, and the second general's face was a little tired, but when he saw Zhu Yousong and the dozens of guards around him, his eyes gave off an aggressive light with a sense of accomplishment.

"Your Majesty, Feng is here." Although Feng Zhishan said that he was His Majesty, he had a contemptuous expression on his face, as if Zhu Yousong had become a prisoner.

"Your Majesty, let our uncle go, everything is negotiable." Yao Wenchang glanced at Feng Zhishan, shook his head complacently, and followed suit.

Zhu Yousong nodded with a sneer, and with a wave of his hand, the heavily tied Liu Zeqing was escorted to the front by several generals.

The generals in Huai'an saw that it had only been a few hours, and their uncle had changed. If he was a tiger, he wouldn't even be a sick cat now, and he was completely discouraged.

"Uncle, I made you suffer, and the last general will save you immediately." Seeing their masters, Feng Zhishan, Yao Wenchang and other soldiers cupped their fists to show their loyalty.

Liu Zeqing was like a dead tree with a dying disease, when he looked at the situation in front of him, a restless hope flashed in his eyes that were originally hopeless and absent-minded. He didn't know whether it was excitement or excitement, but he didn't say a word when he wanted to speak , just trembling lips, and then nodded vigorously.

Zhu Yousong spoke again at this time, "I can let Liu Zeqing go, but not now."

"Your Majesty, feel free to ask for any conditions. As long as I can do it, I will do my best." Feng Zhishan and Yao Wenchang looked at each other, and they agreed with each other.

In their minds, the Zhu Yousong in front of them has nowhere to go, and if he doesn’t want to die, he can only compromise. At most, he proposes to replace someone, which we can agree to, as long as you let our uncle go, we can let you go, but but For the time being, before you can escape from the city, you will have to be arrested and handed over to our uncle. As for what our uncle wants to do with you, that has nothing to do with us.

"My condition is that you all give up your weapons and surrender. It's still the same sentence. I can forgive you. At least you can survive. Otherwise, you can think clearly about the fate of the rebellious courtiers. My kindness and kindness Patience is not infinite, this is your last chance!"

When Zhu Yousong said this, even Feng Zhishan and Yao Wenchang laughed contemptuously, "Your Majesty, the man who knows the current affairs is a hero. Your Majesty should see the situation here before you say this, hahahaha..."

The second general took the lead in laughing loudly on the horse, and his body was unrestrained, which caused all the generals behind him to grin their mouths, like a group of demons dancing wildly.

However, before they laughed, Zhu Yousong said sharply: "Come on, let me execute Liu Zeqing, the rebellious official and traitor, not less than a thousand knives. When they abandon their weapons and surrender, when will you stop!"

"Observe the order!" The imperial guards agreed, and five or six guards held Liu Zeqing down so that he could not move.

The laughter of Feng Zhishan, Yao Wenchang and others stopped abruptly. They looked at Zhu Yousong and these people in horror, and couldn't believe their ears and eyes for a moment, because as long as they give an order, countless guns and crossbows can shoot Dozens of their monarchs and ministers instantly turned into meat sauce or hedgehogs, and now they can only compromise, but...

It was Liu Zeqing who felt even more unbelievable. Thinking that he would be saved immediately, he felt that God had played a big joke on him for a long time. As long as he could regain his freedom, he would at least have to sworn to Lao Feng and Lao Yao, and then Divide the corpses of Zhu Yousong and Zheng Longfang into five horses, dig out the hearts and livers to serve with wine, and file the rest of the bones to ashes!
Liu Zeqing was thinking about this, when Zhu Yousong suddenly said these words, Liu Zeqing fainted on the spot.
