Chapter 1413 The Fall of Huang Chao

Chapter 1411: The Fall of Huang Chao

 “Cough cough cough…”

After listening to Shi Yao's report, Huang Chao couldn't help but cough violently, and even drew blood.

"Kings…"

Shi Yao was immediately shocked and was about to step forward to investigate, but Huang Chao waved his hand indifferently and said calmly: "It's okay, it's just an old injury."

 “But Your Majesty, you...”

“Don’t worry, I know what’s going on.”

Huang Chao certainly knew that if Hua Tuo hadn't kept him alive, he would have died long ago, and now he is just lingering on.

It is precisely because Huang Chao may fall at any time that he is so eager to force Zhu Wen to rebel in order to pave the way for Zhu Tianpeng to ascend to power.

In Huang Chao's view, Zhu Tianpeng was honest and loyal, and he was also the younger brother of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang was the successor of Zhang Jiao's will. Qi was handed over to Zhu Tianpeng, and sooner or later he would loan him to Zhu Yuanzhang.

 In fact, Huang Chao knew from the beginning that Zhu Tianpeng was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang. The reason why he did not expose it and instead reused Zhu Tianpeng was because he wanted to use Zhu Tianpeng's hand to return Qi to the Ming Dynasty.

Although Emperor Ming and Zhu Yuanzhang were both Zhang Jiao's successors, Huang Chao obviously agreed more with Zhu Yuanzhang. In his opinion, Emperor Ming only inherited Zhang Jiao's career, and Zhu Yuanzhang was the successor of Zhang Jiao's will, so Huang Chao was more willing to bring Qi to the throne. The whole country was entrusted to Zhu Yuanzhang.

 Huang Chao has calculated everything, and now he has eliminated Zhu Wen. He is just short of the last step, but something unexpected happened.

From Shi Yao's mouth, Huang Chao learned that Qin Hao's secret agent actually fled into Zhu Tianpeng's mansion and searched the whole house but still couldn't find it.

This shows what:

  1, this is a deliberate frame-up by the Qin Army spies, hoping to arouse their own suspicion and suspicion of Zhu Tianpeng.

Page 2, Zhu Tianpeng was not as pure as he thought. He might be a triple spy, secretly connected with Qin Hao and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Huang Chao feels that the first one is more likely. Huang Chao has naturally inspected Zhu Tianpeng. Under his honest and honest appearance, although he also hides great wisdom, foolishness and cunning, his nature is still loyal and kind.

However, because the time they got together was relatively short, Huang Chao was not sure whether this was due to Zhu Tianpeng's nature or whether he deliberately wanted to see this.

If it’s the former, that’s okay, but if it’s the latter, then Zhu Tianpeng is really scary, which shows that he has been disguising himself from the beginning.

 Huang Chao neither dared nor wanted to gamble, but his body could no longer bear it, and there was no time to find a new successor to replace Zhu Tianpeng. Now the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

“Shi Yao, I have a task for you.” Huang Chao said softly.

"Your Majesty, please tell me, no matter what it is, Shi Yao will definitely complete it." Shi Yao said firmly.

Huang Chao nodded and said: "After my death, Zhu Tianpeng will inherit the throne of King Qi. However, after what happened, I can no longer fully trust him, but there is no one else who can succeed him except him." throne.

Therefore, I hope that you can supervise him on my behalf. If he becomes ambitious and acts disobediently, you will kill him on my behalf, and then use the art of disguise to disguise himself as Zhu Tianpeng, and replace Zhu Tianpeng with Qi Qi. The country was handed over to Zhu Yuanzhang. "

Shi Yao was adopted and taught by Huang Chao since she was a child. She has complex emotions towards Huang Chao that are both father and brother, and even mixed with love.

Seeing Huang Chao's insistence on death, Shi Yao naturally knew that Huang Chao's end was coming, and couldn't help but said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, don't say these unlucky words. If you die, Shi Yao will never live alone."

A trace of relief flashed in Huang Chao's eyes, and he reached out his hand to caress Shi Yao's cheek and said with a faint smile: "Silly boy, as long as you are a human being, you are destined to die. It's just a matter of dying early or dying late.

 In this life, I, the king, did nothing in the first half of my life. In the second half of my life, I was lucky enough to meet a wise teacher, and light appeared in my life. However, I failed the wise teacher in the end..."

　　At this point, Huang Chao couldn't help but sigh. This was also the pain of his life.

In the original battle of Kaifeng, if he could defeat Qin Hao, Xiang Yu would not be qualified to compete with him for successor, and Ming Dynasty would definitely fall into his hands, and the situation would not be like this.

 It’s a pity that there are no ifs in life.

Huang Chao put his hands on Shi Yao's shoulders and said seriously: "Today's world is in unprecedented chaos. After the chaos, there will be great chaos. So, my child, you must live. No matter who will rule the world in the end, you have to go for me." Look at the new prosperity.”

Shi Yao suppressed the sadness in her heart and nodded heavily: "Yes." Huang Chao smiled: "Okay, send a military order to Zhu Tianpeng for me and let him lead the army back. Now the Qi country is in chaos, and we are trying to quell the civil strife. Before, I no longer had the energy to take care of Beihai.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

Shi Yao took the order and left, but before she even stepped out of the door, Zhong Xiaokui ran in with a panicked look on her face and reported: "King Qi, something bad has happened. General Zhu Tianpeng was defeated by Li Jing at Erlong Mountain. The army of 30,000 soldiers One out of ten doesn’t exist.”

"What?"

 “Ahem…”

 Huang Chao and Shi Yao exclaimed at the same time, and then Huang Chao coughed violently and coughed up blood on his hand.

 “Your Majesty, Your Majesty…”

 “It doesn’t matter, I can still hold on.”

Huang Chao resisted the dizziness and said in a deep voice: "Immediately go and get all the battle reports from Erlong Mountain for me. I want to know whether Li Jing is superior or whether Zhu Tianpeng deliberately let the enemy go."

Huang Chao knew Zhu Tianpeng's leadership ability. Both the army and the navy were superior to him and Zhu Wen. However, he lost to Li Jing so quickly. This made Huang Chao inevitably suspect that he deliberately let himself go and lost to Li Jing.

"Your Majesty, Shi Yao has found out. It's probably not Zhu Tianpeng who is causing trouble. This Li Jing is truly worthy of his reputation."

With that said, Shi Yao handed a stack of battle reports to Huang Chao who was lying on the hospital bed. Huang Chao breathed a sigh of relief after reading it.

Shi Yao's investigation was very detailed. In the battle of Erlong Mountain, Li Jing had the right time, place and people, but Zhu Tianpeng only had 25,000 defeated troops left. No wonder he lost to Li Jing.

 Huang Chao doesn't care whether Zhu Tianpeng wins or loses in the battle. What he cares about is whether Zhu Tianpeng lost on purpose. Now it's almost certain that he didn't. This is naturally the best.

"Let Zhu Tianpeng come to see this king. I have something to say to him." Huang Chao said weakly.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

 Zhu Tianpeng walked into Huang Chao's ward with an uneasy look on his face. He knew that he had failed Huang Chao's expectations, and he didn't know if Huang Chao would be disappointed in him because of this.

What Zhu Tianpeng didn't expect was that Huang Chao's first words after seeing him on the hospital bed were: "Tianpeng, Zhu Yuanzhang sent you to Qi, right?"

Zhu Tianpeng was stunned. After being silent for a long time, he knelt down and said, "Yes."

 “No, you’re not.”

 “Huh? What does the king mean?”

Zhu Tianpeng was a little confused, but Huang Chao said meaningfully: "After my death, you will succeed me as the King of Qi, so you will never and cannot be sent by Zhu Yuanzhang. You have been my choice from the beginning. Heir, do you understand what I mean?"

Zhu Tianpeng couldn't help being stunned. After thinking again and again, he seemed to understand what Huang Chao meant, and then nodded.

 Huang Chao also smiled, but soon the light in his eyes began to dim.

 “Your Majesty, Your Majesty…”

 Shouts and cries resounded throughout Prince Qi’s Mansion.

 King Huang Chao of Qi fell at this point. Since he had no children, under his personal designation, the position of King of Qi was succeeded by General Zhu Tianpeng.

Shortly after Huang Chao was buried, Zhu Tianpeng became the new King of Qi after Huang Chao with the support of civil and military officials.
