Chapter 261: Peeling the Skin
Wang Chengming looked back and saw a familiar face, and he was stupid at that time.
I thought my old eyes were dizzy, and I rubbed my eyes to take a closer look.
That's right, it's Emperor Chongzhen!
"Your Majesty......
Thinking of his arrogant appearance just now, the old eunuch rolled his eyes and fainted to the ground.
"Flutter ......"
Zhu Dadian saw that the old eunuch was actually frightened by the emperor, and he couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.
Zhu Youzhen glared at Zhu Dadian angrily:
"Isn't it funny? Don't think I don't know your cleverness. ”
"Your Majesty forgives your sins, and Weichen knows your mistakes."
Zhu Dadian trembled, and hurriedly bowed down to admit his mistake.
Zhu Youzhen ignored Zhu Dadian, turned around and picked up a cup of tea on the handsome case, raised his hand, and sprinkled a cup of tea on Wang Chengming's face accurately.
Soon, the old eunuch woke up quietly, hurriedly turned over and knelt at Zhu Youzhen's feet, trembling all over his body, almost unable to kneel steadily, and he might fall down at any time.
"Your Majesty, the slave is guilty, please punish the emperor......"
Zhu Youzhen's face sank like water, and his eyes looked at Wang Chengming with murderous coldness:
"Wang Chengming, what are your crimes? It is I who is guilty, and I am the unworthy descendant of Emperor Taizu! ”
"The emperor spares his life, the slave and maid are guilty, the slave and maid should not talk about the emperor behind their backs, please punish the emperor ......"
As a courtier, it is definitely a capital crime to talk about the emperor behind his back, and this Wang Chengming is very clear, so he kowtows vigorously.
Zhu Youzhen suddenly slapped the handsome case:
"Smack......
"Wang Chengming, how many crimes have you committed, and you haven't recruited them from the truth, don't think that I don't know anything, as a Fengyang garrison eunuch, not only did you not make any contribution to the Ming Dynasty, but also encroached on the fields and embezzled the silver taels, and also instigated the guards to prevent my land reform, it's an unforgivable crime, I didn't kill you a thousand times, tell me, how do you plan to die?"
The emperor was angry and ambushed millions of corpses, which was by no means a joke.
Zhu Youzhen was suddenly furious, and the air in the entire barracks suddenly seemed to condense, and even Zhu Dadian felt that his legs were weak, this was the imperial authority.
Wang Chengming was almost stunned again, kowtowing like a chicken pecking rice, how did the emperor know that he was greedy for silver by encroaching on the fields, this is a capital crime.
The old eunuch regrets it now, regretting that he shouldn't have encroached on so many fields, but he is holding a fluke mentality, in case the emperor just deceives him, he must not show his stuff.
"Your Majesty, the slave and maid are wronged! The slave and maid did not encroach on the fields with the silver, and did not dare to incite the guard to make trouble, the slave and maid have been diligently watching the tomb of Emperor Taizu, supervising the guard and the officials of various states and counties......"
Seeing that Wang Chengming did not admit his guilt at all, Zhu Youzhen was even more angry:
"The dead duck has a hard mouth, I originally wanted to leave you a whole corpse, but I am still quibbling until now, come and pull Wang Chengming out to pick up the skin and grass to set an example!"
"Obedience"
"Holy mercy! The slave and maid are wronged, please see ...... Holy Heaven"
When Wang Chengming heard that he was making an example of picking up the skin and grass, he was paralyzed on the ground and wailed desperately, not admitting his guilt, Zhu Youzhen waved his hand at the soldiers in disgust:
"Pull it out, I don't want to hear him to him!"
"Obedience"
The soldiers immediately found a rag, and just wanted to plug Wang Chengming's mouth, the old eunuch cried:
"Your Majesty, the slave and maid are wrong, the slave and the maid should die, the slave and the maid are encroaching on the land and greedy for silver, please ask the emperor not to strip the slave and the maid of the skin and grass......"
Zhu Youzhen snorted coldly:
"It's too late to admit now, drag it out!"
The two soldiers immediately gagged the old eunuch and dragged him out to pick up the skin and grass to set an example.
After feeling that the roots of his ears were clean, Zhu Youzhen raised his legs and walked out of the tent:
"Zhu Dadian, follow me to the Imperial Tomb Guard."
Zhu Dadian trembled, he really didn't dare to let the emperor out, now it's very chaotic outside, what if something happens.
But seeing the emperor's cold eyes, Zhu Dadian's words came to his mouth and forcibly swallowed, so he had to follow him out of the big tent.
"Come on, protect the emperor, and immediately send troops to guard the imperial mausoleum."
"Your Majesty?"
As soon as the soldiers heard the emperor, they knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Youzhen one after another.
They are all small soldiers, and the biggest official they have ever seen is Zhu Dadian, where have they seen the emperor.
Today I was finally able to see the emperor, which made them blow for a lifetime, and the soldiers were both excited and nervous.
"The emperor is above, the grass people kowtow to you!"
Zhu Youzhen frowned, and glared at Zhu Dadian fiercely, now that his identity is completely exposed, it will bring a lot of trouble.
Zhu Dadian didn't mean it, he was also nervous for a while, and Zhu Dadian hurriedly knelt down in fright to admit his mistake:
"Your Majesty, Weichen didn't mean it, please punish the emperor."
Zhu Youzhen shook his head helplessly:
"Forget it, let's get even!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After letting Zhu Dadian flatten, Zhu Youzhen said to the soldiers kneeling on the ground:
"The soldiers are all flat, you are all good men of my Ming Dynasty, you must know how to serve the court, and the Ming army is mighty!"
"Emperor Xie, we swear allegiance to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army is mighty!"
Zhu Youzhen nodded with satisfaction:
"I believe in you, immediately send troops to guard the imperial tomb, I don't need your protection, I will protect me, how can I fight, I have my own guards, go!"
"Obedience"
The 2,000 men and horses, all cavalry, quickly rushed out of the barracks and marched towards the Imperial Tomb Guard.
Zhu Youzhen has A Qingqing Qinglong and more than a dozen guards by his side, of course, he doesn't need to be protected by ordinary soldiers.
On the way, Zhu Youzhen sent another decree, asking Li Dakai and Gao Jie to immediately attack various guards after they pacified the rebels in the city.
The army soon arrived at the Imperial Tomb Guard, the gate of the Imperial Tomb Guard was closed, and the guards at the head of the city were all with bows and arrows, ready to shoot the besieging soldiers at any time.
Qinglong stepped forward and shouted to the head of the Imperial Tomb Acropolis:
"Listen to the guards of the Imperial Tomb, I am the commander of the Ming Jinyi Guard, and the garrison eunuch Wang Chengming has been arrested, if you take the initiative to open the city gate, the imperial court will consider not affecting your family, otherwise the whole family will be beheaded, and then the three clans will be destroyed."
"How could the commander of the Jinyi Guard come to the Imperial Tomb Guard, it seems that a catastrophe is coming, the princes and princes have been arrested, let's surrender, we haven't fought at all......"
After all, the guards were all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and when they heard the arrival of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, there was a commotion in the city.
The commander of the Imperial Tomb Guard made Liu Shan panic suddenly, but he had no way back, even if Kaecheng surrendered, they would inevitably die, and they would definitely not surrender Kaiseong.
He drew his saber and shouted:
"Shut up Lao Tzu, who dares to say that surrender will disturb the hearts of our army, and kill ...... on the spot"
"Bang"
"Poof......
Before the commander could finish speaking, a gunshot suddenly rang out, and the commander's head was blown off with a single shot, and the corpse shook twice and fell heavily.
"Oh my God, the commander ......"
The soldiers were astonished, and hurriedly looked around for the person who had fired the shot, and they were all standing at the head of the city, what gun could hit their commander?
Two hundred steps below the city is the position of the Ming army, and it is impossible for their Vulcan spear to have such a long range!
Not to mention their guards, even the subordinates under the city Zhu Dadian were very shocked.
Because they had already followed the sound of gunfire and saw that the muzzle of an imperial guard was still smoking.
