Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 22

Zhao Zhilong's instructions were to stand still and wait and see.

The reason is that Zheng Hongkui's early arrival was narrow, and his cronies were no more than 100 people at best, and Jinyiwei's tens of thousands of people are in the hands of Ma's father and son, and it is better to fight. It is just to take this opportunity to let Zu Hai teach Zheng Hongkui a lesson. That's why Ma Shiying made Zhao Zhilong pretend to be deaf and dumb after discussing with Ma Luan and Ruan Dacheng.

The moonlight was as bright as silver, and Zhu Yousong and the empress were sleeping soundly in the West Nuan Pavilion of the Imperial Palace. The two of them were naked, and the sleeping posture of the Golden Empress was even more turbulent. It was the time when Zhu Yousong heard the chicken dancing. Of course, it was not the crowing of the chicken or the eunuch on duty that woke him up, but the biological clock formed by traveling through the past few days.

At this moment, Xiao Huangmen, who was on duty, shouted from outside with a unique voice: "Report to the emperor, Eunuch Lu has something important to report."

The voice of the little yellow gate was neither loud nor low, Zhu Yousong was somewhat alert to warriors now, so the little yellow gate outside the palace only yelled, and Zhu Yousong heard it, knowing that it was so late that Lu Jiude came Seeing himself, he must have something important to do, so he hurriedly arranged his clothes without alarming the queen, and quietly left the queen's Xinuang Pavilion.

The eunuch on duty led the way with a lantern in front, Zhu Yousong walked in the middle, followed by Lu Jiude and several confidants from Dongchang.

"Why are you seeing me so late?" Zhu Yousong couldn't help asking Lu Jiude in the corridor.

"Return to the emperor..." Lu Jiude whispered a few words in Zhu Yousong's ear.

"Oh, this Zu Hai is so bold, what does he want to do?" Zhu Yousong said, trying to search for this person in his mind, and soon realized that he was the backbone of the Jinyi Guard, and had escorted him with the captain of Jinyi more than once.

Zhu Yousong asked Lu Jiude a few more questions, and after learning about the detailed situation there, he thought for a moment and made an astonishing decision: "Move to Jinyiwei Mansion Hall!"

Lu Jiude was taken aback. The Jinyiwei in the palace had such a mess, and Dongchang might not be able to settle it. Under normal circumstances, the emperor was afraid of avoiding it. He must have mobilized the five armies to quell the chaos. How could he personally Those who appeared on the scene, in his impression, Zhu Yousong was not a fearless emperor. Before he ascended the throne, this King Fu was driven around by the war and fled everywhere. He was going to fight and kill the scene right now. Are you crazy?
Lu Jiude quickly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, you can't, Zu Hai is confident because of the power of the Ma family. Now they only know that there is the Ma family but not the emperor, and they have a large number of people. Now Jin Yiwei has tens of thousands of horses and is still in control. In their hands, how can the emperor's golden body be involved in danger? If you dodge a little bit, the slaves can't afford it. The slaves are not talented, and they are willing to go for the emperor. What should you do? You can issue an edict .”

Although Lu Jiude is not a real man, but he has led the army and fought in battles, and he is very courageous. When he saw that the emperor wanted to go in person, he took the initiative to invite Ying to share his master's worries.

Zhu Yousong was very moved by Lu Jiude's loyalty, and of course he knew Lu Jiude's ability, but Zu Hai dared to openly provoke a riot, and he did not hesitate to use force to fight against Zheng Hongkui's robbery. Don't look at Jinyiwei being restrained by Dongchang, but Dongchang fans are all carefully selected from Jinyiwei. Lu Jiude and Li Guofu have just taken over Dongchang, so it can be said that their foothold is not stable. If Zu Hai doesn't listen to him, he will stare. fold.It doesn't matter if Zu Hai snatches away a Li Zhan who has confessed, but if Zheng Hongkui has something wrong, he will fall short, and he has to clean up the situation by himself.

As for Fan Dan, he has already thought about it. How can you catch a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's den? Besides, he has also practiced martial arts these days, and ate wolf meat. Thinking about it, this student of literature and history who has never been on the battlefield has overcome his psychological barrier. , resolutely decided to move to Jinyiwei Mansion Hall.

While admiring the emperor's courage, Lu Jiude had no choice but to bring a few factory fans to escort him, and joined the Jinyiwei team on patrol outside to form the emperor's temporary personal guards. Zhu Yousong hurried to the accident site in heavy armor ...

Zheng Hongkui knew that if Zu Hai was allowed to snatch the person away, the emperor would lose his head if he blamed him. Although Zhu Yousong had ordered him not to confront the Ma Party unless it was absolutely necessary, because he also knew that the power of the emperor's cronies was still very weak. It can only be moved by camera, and the three of them, the monarch and his ministers, were studying this plan the day before yesterday.

But now he thinks it is time to have a last resort, so Zheng Hongkui also went all out, rounded the knife in his hand, and tried his best. Once this Wu Jinshi showed his power, it was really incredible, and soon he killed and injured many people around him. land.

The more than 100 personal guards under Zheng Hongkui saw that Zheng Hongkui had risked his life, and these people had no scruples. They fought desperately with the people brought by Zu Hai. Soon Jin Yiwei's mansion became a battlefield, shouting and shouting, swords The crashing sound was mixed with screams, it was hard to tell the number.

Zheng Hongkui's martial arts skills are high, and his men's combat effectiveness is quite strong, but after all, they are outnumbered. Zu Hai came here with a plan, and the number of people he brought was several times that of Zheng Hongkui. at a disadvantage.

Zu Hai ordered people to divide and surround Zheng Hongkui's men, and then personally led his people into the prison to snatch Li Zhan out.

When Zheng Hongkui saw that his eyes were red, he yelled and chopped down four or five captains in Jinyi who were besieging him. He jumped seven or eight feet high, kicked off the wall with one foot, and his body seemed to fly. It fell behind Zu Hai and the others.

At the place where the knife light flickered, there were several Jinyiwei captains lying down in a pool of blood.

These people had to leave Li Zhan behind and besiege Zheng Hongkui.But how could they be Zheng Hongkui's opponents? Zheng Hongkui was like a crazy tiger, unstoppable.

At this time Zu Hai swung his knife and jumped over, and the two generals fought against each other.Metal clattered, sparks splashed everywhere, and the two fought from the room to the corridor, and from the corridor to the courtyard.

It turned out that Zu Hai was not an idiot, he was very skilled in martial arts, otherwise he would not have been able to achieve this position. The two met each other more than a dozen times.

But at this moment, people from Zuhai surrounded him again, trapping Zheng Hongkui, and Zheng Hongkui had no choice but to continue desperately.

When Zheng Hongkui broke out from this group of people, Zu Hai saw the timing and shot an arrow. Zheng Hongkui couldn't dodge in time, and with a pounce, he hit his left forearm. , the pain caused Zheng Hongkui to crooked and almost fell down.

Zheng Hongkui bit the knife in his mouth, the iron-clad man held the body of the arrow in his hand, gritted his teeth, and thrust the arrow out abruptly, bleeding profusely immediately, he tore off a strip from his robe to tighten the wound The bleeding has stopped, and he intends to continue fighting, but after doing this, he is surrounded by countless captains in golden clothes.

After all, Zu Hai took into account that Zheng Hongkui was an official of the imperial court, so he sneered with a bloody steel knife in his hand: "The one surnamed Zheng will be arrested if you don't fight, and you will be cut into pieces. This is your last chance."

Zheng Hongkui saw that the people under his command were dead, wounded, and arrested. Only a small number of survivors were surrounded by people and still fighting hard. His heart was over, but he couldn't let this kid manipulate him. Looking at the Hall of Martial Arts Xiang Xiang said silently in his heart, "Your Majesty, I have owed you the grace of God. Farewell!"

Zheng Hongkui swung a knife with one arm and was about to kill himself. At this moment, someone shouted: "The emperor is here-"
