When the rebels arrived in Zhuozhou, only a hundred miles away from the city of Beijing, they suddenly saw a group of men and horses in front of them, waving dragon flags, coming head-on, and intercepting the way.

"Here, King Jin?"

Li Dingguo, deputy brigade commander of the Tianwu Army, sent people to greet him.

Jin King Zhu Xianxuan asked left and right: "Who will this be?" ”

Yao Zhitian, the black-clothed prime minister, said: "The nameless young general guarding Beijing City has only two or three thousand men and horses, which is not to be feared, and the king can be broken with one drum!" ”

The Tianxiong Army was stationed in the Northern Military Governor's Mansion, but the city of Beijing, as one of the two capitals, was directly managed by the Tianwu Army, and the guards were Chu Yuanfang and Li Dingguo.

Zhu Xianxuan nodded slightly, if even these two or three thousand people can't be cooked, then what kind of rebellion will the widow make?

"All the troops are attacking!"

At Zhu Xianxuan's order, the standard-bearers waved the flag, and the rebels beat their drums and launched an attack one after another.

Li Dingguo didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered the Tianwu army to attack in formation.

Although the number of troops is far inferior to that of the rebels, in Li Dingguo's eyes, in the face of a military fool like Zhu Xianxuan, plus this group of so-called "army", it is just an egg that is the outside and soft on the inside, and it is enough to use two or three thousand heavenly martial forces, and it can be completely crushed!

The battle lasted for two quarters of an hour, of which the actual time for the battle was only four volleys, and the rest of the time was spent chasing the Jin king Zhu Xianxuanna.

There is no imaginary rush to break, and there is no imaginary desperate fighting, blood flows like a river, Tianwu Army musket array, three "kill!" Kill! Kill! After shouting, the momentum of the rebels dropped by half.

The four rounds of salvo of the Heding rifle were even more ferocious, and the rebels collapsed directly, there was no suspense in this battle, nor did there be any passion, the only thrill was that the rebels were like a race.

Zhu Xianxuan, who was talking on paper, received a free military combat class, and then was chased to collect tuition fees and was unfortunately captured.

When he learned that his most trusted "black-clothed prime minister" was a famous brocade guard, Zhu Xianxuan, the king of Jin, whose IQ had been trampled on, once wanted to commit suicide.

Fortunately, the black-clothed prime minister told him in time that he was really a monk and was forced to be a peripheral for Jinyiwei.

It turned out that this Yao Zhitian was originally a true monk of a temple in Henan, who had read Buddhist scriptures for a few years and knocked on the wooden fish for more than ten years.

Yao knew that Tianchen's heart was too heavy, and even the Buddha could not move him, since he came down the mountain, he had been cheating and cheating, often reciting false scriptures to help people overdo things or something, God knows where to overdo people.

Due to his usual business reasons, Yao Zhitian came into contact with many social "elites", who often talked freely about state affairs and analyzed current affairs with each other.

Yao Zhitian began to try to coax the officials to make a big profit, but because of bad luck, he met a high-ranking official of Jinyiwei in the first order of his transformation, and he was retained because of his good eloquence and foolishness.

In desperation, Zhu Xianxuan, the king of Jin, was also escorted to Nanjing, and the remaining rebels were taken in and pacified by the local government, and the city defense army assisted in the search and arrest.

......

Nanjing Imperial Prison.

In the dark underground cell, there were screams.

"Tell me quickly, you were instructed to write a book and spread rumors to usurp the throne today?"

A brocade guard dipped his leather whip in salt water and whipped the prisoner vigorously, and each whip seemed to have a thousand powers.

This prisoner is Sun Zhiqi of Jinan Prefecture, Shandong, whose pen name is Sun Laoqi, who has written dozens of books and spread rumors to slander Zhu Cihong.

According to the information provided by Xia Jianren, Jin Yiwei finally found him out, secretly brought him back to Nanjing Imperial Prison, tortured him in different ways, and dug out the mastermind behind him.

Sun Zhiqi hummed with his head hanging from his cloak, and soon fainted again.

Jin Yiwei skillfully picked up a bucket of chili water and poured it on him, and the chili water quickly seeped into the flesh and blood.

After a while, Sun Zhiqi let out a terrible ghost cry again.

"Say it or not!"

With a "snap", the leather whip in Jinyiwei's hand was like having eyes, and he could smoke wherever he wanted, striking with precision, and carving patterns on Sun Zhiqi's body.

These Jinyi guards who are in charge of the punishment are all skilled workers, and they work as if they are engaged in art.

When Sun Zhiqi's body was covered with patterns, and the blood began to ooze yellow water after seeping, these brocade guards changed their way of playing.

They took the roasted red strips and drank Tusu wine while continuing to carve artistically and paint according to the patterns.......

Sun Zhiji, who still had consciousness, gritted his teeth and resolutely refused to admit the rumors, let alone admit that there were people behind him who colluded to rebel.

He knows very well that once he lets go, his life will be lost!

If you don't open your mouth, you might be able to carry it......

However, how could he bear the package of the edict, just like that, Sun Zhiqi fainted several times, was woken up by Jinyiwei and then burned unconscious, repeating endlessly......

In the middle of the night, in a burning pain, Sun Zhiqi woke up again.

He looked at his body, there were scars all over his body, many places were scorched, and his internal organs seemed to be dry and cracked.

The ghost screams outside were still unabated, and Sun Zhiqi knew that most of the prisoners around him were like himself, and they were fellow believers who wrote books to slander Emperor Tianwu.

These people are not only rumors, but some of them have written their own wild histories, recording the evil government of Tianwu, saying that Emperor Tianwu is cruel and unbearable, and his actions are far away from Xia Ji and Shang Dynasty......

It was forbidden to light fires in the prison, even in winter, and in the dark night, swarms of rats appeared from time to time, gnawing at the shackled prisoners.

Sun Zhiqi's body was bitten with flesh and blood, he screamed again and again, his whole body twitched and moved, and every minute and every second, he was experiencing living and suffering.

He remembered what an official had said: The consequence of being arrested and imprisoned is that the soul is burning and tragic! is also guilty, if you are not arrested and sent to the prison, but to the prison of the criminal department, it is the pleasure of heaven.....

Sun Zhiqi laughed miserably, when he defected to Wei Gelding, wasn't he afraid that he would be arrested and imprisoned as Donglin?

Now, the Beijing Imperial Prison has escaped, but it has not escaped the containment of the Nanjing Imperial Prison.......

Finally, when it was dawn, the dazed Sun Zhiqi heard a few small footsteps in front of the prison.

The two brocade guards walked in and talked: "Wake him up first, feed him to drink reincarnation wine, and change two dishes for him today, the taste is a little heavier....."

The so-called "reincarnation wine", the raw material is actually human urine.

The name of reincarnation wine is not in vain, but it is very effective in the edict prison, for example, Lu Gonglun, the servant of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, relied on drinking this thing, and escaped from illness many times in the "edict prison career" for six or seven years.

Sun Zhiqi didn't know what this thing was, and thought that the nature of "reincarnation wine" was the same as "Meng Po soup", which was drunk before going on the road.

He was so frightened that he got up in pain and shouted, "I've recruited, I've recruited everything!" ”

In the lobby of the Imperial Prison, several Jinyi Wei officials sat behind the table, quietly looking at Sun Zhiqi and listening to him break the news.

Facing the eyes around him like wolves predatoring, Sun Zhiqi trembled for a moment, and said honestly: "When the two emperors of Tianqi and Chongzhen were in power, they respected our scholars, and now that the saint has succeeded to the throne and implemented any new policies, we scholars have no benefit, so the idea of rebellion has germinated......"

"A few months ago, a few people came from Nanjing, saying that they would discuss great things with me, and they asked me to write the son of today as the first tyrant of all time, and promised to leave me a position as a cabinet minister......
