Chapter 105: The Change of Hengxi

After He Wuji entered the city, he collected the majesty and domineering in the military tent of Zhu Yaoshi before, and was polite to Xiaoshan and Xiao Ding, and he would be called the prime minister, and even Xiaoshan and they were not very adaptable. Even urging the collection of gold and silver cloth and silk, Liu Qian probed He Wuji's tone and learned that most of the generals outside the city were originally from pariahs, and now with this lot of gold and silver, they have long been satisfied.

On Xiao Ding's Mansion, He Wuji hugged the two women and laughed wildly: "Today is the happiest day in my life, what bullshit high-ranking official emperor Lao'er, Lao Tzu is rich and beautiful today, haha, if you want to eat duck, you can eat duck, if you want to eat elbow, you can eat elbow, haha"

Xiao Shan and the others almost burst out laughing, and they all said with stiff faces: "General He, as long as you have what you want, we will send it to you, don't be polite." There are all kinds of delicious beauties and gold and silver cloths in Jinling City, and we will rely on the general to protect them in the future."

He Wuji kissed the woman on the left and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Zuo is laughing again, your own tens of thousands of troops are extremely brave in the city, where is our turn to protect?" Our marshals all told me privately, and when the time comes, we will accept it, and then go back to Liyang with some gold, silver, and cloth when we enter the city. Come, come, drink, my lords."

This remark made Xiao Shan and the others feel distressed, they had already known that the troops of the Qu Mansion organized by them were so capable of fighting, why did they want to sue for peace, and they also sent out the gold and silver they had looted. But fortunately, it also shocked Pharmacist Zhu, and as soon as Pharmacist Zhu left, Jinling City was completely decided by them.

Xiao Shan and the others raised their glasses again to toast He Wuji, and He Wuji took a sip of the wine and fed it to the two women beside him, but his hands were touched. Xiao Shan and the others were also extremely satisfied, and they all laughed proudly.

Liu Gan raised his glass again and asked He Wuji: "Then why don't you Zhu Dashuai enter the city yet, do you have other plans?" ”

He Wuji squinted his eyes and smiled: "My lord is really smart, our Zhu Dashuai is afraid that others will laugh at him for his lack of ambition, so we are waiting for the adults outside the city to visit him, and he will only enter the city after he is officially crowned king and made a general." Actually, I think he is afraid of death, and he is afraid that if the soldiers and horses under the lords come into the city, it will not be good if they are ambushed and die in the city."

Liu Gan smiled: "Zhu Dashuai is too worried, we have already prepared a guard of honor and waited for Zhu Dashuai to enter the city, General He can tell Zhu Dashuai, we will withdraw the troops outside the city."

He Wuji waved his hand again and again: "There is no need to be so troublesome, it is inconvenient for this army to enter and exit, and it will not be good if it causes a misunderstanding and fights."

Xiao Ding coughed: "Then you Zhu Dashuai are waiting for us to go out of the city to invite him in?" ”

He Wuji nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, that's what our Zhu Dashuai said, as long as the adults go out of the city to greet him, he will definitely come."

Xie Rui slowly nodded to Xiao Shan: "It is normal for Zhu Dashuai to do this, so it seems that this peace meeting will definitely be successfully completed."

He Wuji also raised his glass to toast: "If you get the reward with us as soon as possible, you can go back early, otherwise when the weather is hot, you really can't stay in Jiangnan."

Xiao Shan laughed: "General He is really fast-talking, this gentle township in the south of the Yangtze River, I'm afraid that the general won't want to leave in a few days."

He Wuji also laughed and hugged the two women in front of him with both hands: "Haha, I'm really worried, Jiangnan people are really gentle and lovely, ahahaha"

After making sure that what He Wuji said was the truth, everyone decided to leave Xie Rui and Liu Gan to lead the troops in the city to arrange, and the rest of the people would go to Pharmacist Zhu to make a show when the time came, so that Pharmacist Zhu could lead the army to retreat north as soon as possible. After Zhu Yaoshi retreated, he let Emperor Liu Xuan abdicate, so that the world was still controlled by the family.

The abacus here is very good, and over there Pharmacist Zhu also ordered people to build a high platform in Hengxi, settle the guard of honor, and prepare to sacrifice pigs, cows, horses and sheep to the sky.

Pharmacist Zhu sent someone to send a table to implore Xiao Shan and others to choose a good day and auspicious day, and Pharmacist Zhu was willing to swear an oath with Xiao Shan and other ministers to kill the white horse and ascend the altar in Hengxi.

Xiao Shan and others chose the tenth day of the lunar month to swear an oath in Hengxi, and privately engraved the jade seal, prepared an edict to prepare a chariot and horse honor guard. Someone also reported this matter to Emperor Liu Xuan, and Liu Xuan sighed: "It's ridiculous that these fools are plotting with tigers, I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep a whole corpse in the future!" Tell them that if they go outside the city, they will surely die. ”

The emperor's messenger came to see Xiao Shan and others, but was ordered by Xiao Shan to be tied up and sent to Zhu Yaoshi's army.

Zhu Yaoshi wanted to kill this messenger, but Qiu Xingzhi advised: "If you kill him, the officials in the city will definitely be suspicious, so it is better to treat him well, let him go back, and we will give the emperor Lao'er a copy of the recital, just say that we are asking for the life of the people for Tianxingdao and so on."

Pharmacist Zhu nodded, and then ordered his subordinates to loosen the envoys, and also sent some gold and silver to arrange wine and food for hospitality. The envoy also had backbone, and he didn't eat or receive gold and silver, but he just wanted to see Pharmacist Zhu.

Seeing that the person who came had such courage, Medicine Master Zhu couldn't help but be curious, so he asked the messenger to bring him to see him.

This envoy was a prisoner who stayed behind, about forty years old, but the expression between his eyebrows was aggressive, and when he saw Zhu Yaoshi, he asked: "You and others have taken the children of the golden silk in the capital and attacked the prefectures and counties, and this time you are using tricks to deceive the Manchu Dynasty ministers to go out of the city and send them to death, which is too poisonous!" I see that you, Pharmacist Zhu, are just a farmer, I thought you were some kind of hero! ”

Pharmacist Zhu laughed: "I was originally a farmer, and I couldn't survive so I rebelled with people, so we had no money and food, so we naturally had to come to the capital to ask for it!" You laugh at me for being a farmer, and I will ask you what kind of person the emperor is, I heard that he is about to die of illness, so it is better to die early! ”

The inner supervisor's muscles were exposed, and his face was distorted: "Bastard! How dare you insult the Holy One! As he spoke, he rushed towards Pharmacist Zhu, and Pharmacist Zhu stretched out his hand and pressed the inner eunuch down: "The traitors of the Manchu Dynasty, the loss of teachers and land, the heavy taxes, and the people's livelihood, what is this emperor who is not a faint king?" ”

The inner eunuch desperately tilted his head and struggled: "Nonsense, our emperor is sick and tied himself to a pillar and led the people to resist you robbers, it was those traitors who betrayed the country to get to this point today!" ”

Pharmacist Zhu let go of the inner prison: "Didn't the emperor stay in the palace and play with women?" How could they defend the city with the people? ”

The inner eunuch sneered: "Our emperor said that he is waiting for you in the Bell and Drum Tower!" He also wants to see what you look like, a thief."

Pharmacist Zhu laughed: "Interesting, in this way, I want to meet this emperor Lao'er!" Let's go, I didn't expect you to be such a backbone as a eunuch, today is really insightful."

The inner prison hated and left, and returned to the city to resume his life. Liu Xuan asked Zhu Yaoshi about the truth in the army, and sighed: "It's a pity that this person can't be used by me!" Pity this Manchu Dynasty Minister is going to be a ghost under his knife! ”

On the tenth day of the lunar month, the warm sun was shining, and everyone under the leadership of Xiao Shan rushed to Hengxi in a carriage wearing court clothes.

Zhu Yaoshi's side had already placed pigs, cows and sheep's heads, and a long strip was vacant on the altar next to him, and a white horse was led by soldiers and kept neighing.

After Xiao Shan and the others arrived, Pharmacist Zhu immediately greeted him and pulled Xiao Shan to greet him.

He Wuji and Qiu Xingzhi asked the officials to stand in front of the altar and wait for the oath.

Xiao Shan looked at the altar and the flag, and smiled with satisfaction: "Zhu Dashuai, no, King Yan, this time there is an edict and a jade seal dress scepter brought together, this time it is the real King Yan."

Pharmacist Zhu didn't laugh, but just replied: "Very good, very good, it will be fine soon!" ”

Xiao Shan took out the edict and was about to read it, but Pharmacist Zhu took it directly, Xiao Shan was a little stunned: "Is King Yan preparing to read the edict by himself?" It's good."

Yao Shi Zhu picked up the edict and threw it into the fire next to him, walked to the left side of the altar and drew his sword: "Come on, bring our edict!" ”

Xiao Shan and the others looked at each other, thinking that Pharmacist Zhu was going to kidnap them and claim themselves emperor, so they knelt down thinking that the heroes would not suffer the losses in front of them.

Pharmacist Zhu took the edict sent by the soldiers and read it aloud: "You have received the favor of the country in the future, and you do not want to repay the country and be loyal to the king, but you have murdered the first emperor, brutalized the loyal and good, and set up many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so that the people of the world sell their children and daughters, and the people are not happy." Recently, he looted the people in Jinling City and killed the people's army, which is really a big thief in the world. Our army is acting for the way of heaven to eliminate violence and peace, and we should kill you first to thank the world! ”

As soon as Pharmacist Zhu's words fell, all the officials who knelt down shouted: "King Yan must not mess around!" ”

"Without the support of my family, you can't sit still in the world!"

"We still have 50,000 horses in the city, you will regret it if you mess around like this!"

"King Yan spares his life, we still have treasures to offer!"

"Pharmacist Zhu, you are so brutal, you don't have to die well!"

"Livestock! Fail to keep the faith! ”

Pharmacist Zhu sneered: "You waited to buy my subordinates, and caught a woman from a common family to pretend to be a woman from a family, thinking I didn't know?" I'm going to kill you today and sacrifice to the sky! Our army has now entered the city, look back! ”

Everyone looked back at the city gate, and Zhu Yaoshi's army had slowly entered the city, and the banner on the city had been replaced with a large banner with Zhu characters.

Just when the officials were out of the city, Zhu Yaoshi had already sent people into the city to kill Xie Rui and seize the city gate, and the soldiers of the various tribes were also caught off guard and fled one after another, and the 50,000 army had already dispersed.

"You wait for the food Junlu, not only do you not want to serve the country, but betray the country and rebel against the king, should you be killed?" Pharmacist Zhu talked about the crimes of the hundred officials one by one

"Should you be killed if you are tyrannical and extortionate, and the people are miserable due to excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes?"

"Should you be killed if you oppressed the people and forced countless wives to break up and break up their families?"

"In the past few decades, the country has been ruined, and the lives of the people have been ruined, and it is all you who have stolen high positions to control the government and made the world fall apart, but you have enjoyed all the glory and wealth, do you think there is really no heavenly reason in this world? Do it! Today we do the right thing for heaven! ”

Xiao Shan and the others closed their eyes and regretted that they had not listened to the emperor. Next, the hundreds of officials who came to take the oath were all beheaded and sacrificed to heaven.

The ministers were slaughtered here, and the Goryeo soldiers and horses over there, under the leadership of Wei Meng, went to the Qinhuai River to intercept and kill the fleeing militia and people. When Zhu Yaoshi learned about it, he was furious, and ordered his military horse to go to surround Wei Meng's army.

Wei Meng thought that Pharmacist Zhu was here with him to rob the property, so he shouted: "Zhu Dashuai, you have obtained the property of the whole city, and you will also come to take it if we rob a little outside?" Zhu Dashuai is too untrustworthy! ”

Pharmacist Zhu coughed: "I am the righteous master who hangs the people for the Heavenly Dao!" I have come to crusade against you, a foreign bandit who has killed the people! Kill! ”

Before Wei Meng could answer, tens of thousands of people under Zhu Yaoshi shot arrows together, and in less than half an hour, Wei Meng and thousands of Goryeo soldiers and horses were all killed on the bank of the Qinhuai River! Some of the people who were rescued were very grateful to Pharmacist Zhu, and many people's troops immediately joined Pharmacist Zhu's team.

Now there is no opponent for Zhu Yaoshi in Jinling City, even if he looks at the world, he has not many opponents. He is very close to that throne, and even he himself feels that he was a pawn a few years ago, and now he can actually win the world.

The city of Jinling was extremely lively, on one side was the heads of the families of the big families who had been killed, and the voices of wails were endless, and on the other side, the untouchables lined up at the gate of the city to welcome Zhu Yaoshi's team into the city.

"Rich and poor, divide the land, and now I look forward to a good emperor!"

"Kill the princess, kill the family, kill them to settle down!"

"Eat well, dress warmly, and divide the big house!"

"Prepare the wine, prepare the food, and welcome the king together!"

Most of the original residents of Jinling City were confined and hid in their cellars or wells, and they had already experienced several breaches of Jinling City. In their opinion, whoever is the lord of Jinling has to pay grain and taxes, and in this situation, they will save their lives first. Killing a family is nothing more than robbing money, and as for dividing the land between the rich and the poor, they don't believe it.

The homeless and untouchables are fearless, and in their opinion, it doesn't matter if they get to the fields or not, it is mainly because Zhu Yaoshi has made a bad breath for them. The arrogant and domineering family of the past has been slaughtered today, and they deserve it!
