Chapter 895: Kill and Don't Admit It
Under the cover of night, Chunxiang led dozens of horsemen to open the Anding Gate with the edict of Emperor Chongzhen, and rushed south to Puzhou to deal with the affairs of Zhu Cunji, the king of Qin.
How to deal with Zhu Cunji He didn't know in his heart, after all, he hadn't figured out whether he surrendered to the thief army or escaped, if he surrendered the thief army, he was doomed to die, if he escaped, it should be nothing, but Emperor Chongzhen's attitude was interesting.
This thing is really not done by people, the so-called emperor's heart is unpredictable, he Nima will give you a look and everything you will understand, no matter how you deal with it, he can turn his face at any time afterwards, Chunxiang now finally understands Chang Yu's distress.
Fortunately, the ink is black, Chang Yu and his siblings don't hide anything from him, and Chunxiang knows the means of those vassal kings in Taiyuan, and it can also be used for reference at this time.
It's just that how did the King of Qin sneak into Puzhou, and how did he get caught by Gao Jie and a few people?
Speaking of which, I have to give Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing and Hua Ma Liu a little shot.
More than ten days ago, three vicious dogs pounced on Li Zicheng from Shunde Mansion to the bank of the Yellow River in Puzhou, although they were exhausted, they also gnawed off a lot of meat and harvested a lot, and the three people who picked up a big bargain were still not satisfied, while the soldiers fought the autumn wind in the surrounding area to turn over the north and south of Zhongtiao Mountain, and sent people into Beijing to ask for rewards.
It's just that I didn't expect that the people who entered Beijing to ask for rewards had just left, and after half a day, someone came to the capital to pass the order, which is the person they are most afraid of now, the little eunuch!
The little eunuch ordered the three of them to guard the main roads of the Yellow River, strictly guard against the thieves on the other bank, and strictly ordered all departments not to set up troops and disturb the people!
If this order was sent by the imperial court, and the three of them were not hanged, Liu Liangzuo didn't know how powerful the little eunuch was, but Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing had directly or indirectly seen the little eunuch's methods, and they were very jealous of him.
Of course, the herald also brought a shocking news to them: the Qing army has entered the customs!
Hastyly! It's really thunderous!
You must know that when the officers and soldiers were launching a full-scale counteroffensive to pursue the enemy, the little eunuch suddenly raised his troops and left, handing over the work to Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie, and the two also guessed that something might have happened to Gyeonggi, otherwise Li Zicheng, who was about to get it, would let him escape.
But I didn't expect the Tatars to enter the customs.
30,000 Qing troops entered the pass from Miyun, and in a blink of an eye, Miyun and Huairou broke through Miyun and even besieged the imperial capital, this Nima was too arrogant and terrifying......
However, he was beaten up by the little eunuch, and at this time, Yang Chang went south, and the little eunuch then led an army of 100,000 in Gyeonggi to chase after him.
Gao Jie and the three of them were dumbfounded, they had heard that the little eunuch was resisting Dorgon's 100,000 army outside the Guan, and teamed up with Wu Sangui to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, thinking that he was just stained with Wu Sangui's light plundering skills. But after the battle between Baoding Mansion and the thief army, he knew that he was indeed a ruthless character, and he no longer dared to underestimate him.
Fortunately, chasing Li Zicheng came at that time, and it didn't take much effort to beat the water dog and still get oil and water, on the other hand, Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji followed the chase Tartar, it was a vicious battle, and it could collapse at any time if it was thankless!
"It seems that this little eunuch in your mouth is indeed a ruthless character, how many bigwigs in the court in the past ten years, Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou, etc., have lost more than one victory or even no victory against the thief army or the Tartars, but this little eunuch has been invincible in just a few months, once or twice may be a coincidence, so many times it is really capable, not to mention anything else, just this kind of momentum that no matter whether the thief army or the Tartars come up, we can't find a few so courageous" Liu Liangzuo, who has always been very unfamiliar with the little eunuch, finally realized something.
"There will be no good days in the future" Liu Zeqing shook his head with a bitter smile, Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo understood this, the little eunuch sent someone to give orders, two or three are enough, but more than 20 of them are all Dongchang's fans, obviously they are here to keep an eye on them, but all illegal acts are bookkeeping, and when the little eunuch is empty, he will definitely settle accounts one by one after the autumn, and he knows that these Dongchang fans are different from those prison soldiers in the past who can be bought, and they are all his henchmen.
escaped the catastrophe of the battle with the Tartars, and the three of them were fortunate to have their tails clamped, at least on the surface, they didn't dare to condone the soldiers under their command to disturb the people, and they didn't want to eat, drink and have fun in Puzhou City every day.
But a few days ago, Gao Jie's subordinates and Liu Zeqing's subordinates were shouting, saying that they had discovered it first, and the two people who were drinking were very puzzled and asked who these people were.
But I didn't expect it to be Zhu Cunji, the king of Qin, and a few family members!
It's pie in the sky!
Gao Jie and the others were overjoyed, they had also heard the news of Zhu Cunji's surrender to Li Zicheng, but it was difficult to distinguish between true and false, and they suddenly appeared in front of them at this time, as if they were dreaming, but the Jedi was a beautiful dream.
Zhu Cunji was found by the officers and soldiers at the foot of Zhongtiao Mountain in the south of the city, and saw that he was rich and noble, and wanted to rob and kill, but this thing saw that the situation was not good, and quickly revealed his identity, saying that he fled here from Xi'an, and if he was sent to see the officials, he would be rewarded......
Since he took the initiative to admit that there was evidence to prove his identity, Gao Jie and the three confirmed that he was indeed Zhu Cunji, the king of Qin, after inspecting it, they treated him politely and knocked on the side to ask whether he had surrendered Li Zicheng.
But Zhu Cunji insisted that he escaped before Li Zicheng broke the city, when more than 20 families desperately protected and escaped across the Yellow River, only three or five people remained, because the surrounding thieves were all thieves, they hid in Zhongtiao Mountain, the day before yesterday when they heard that the thieves were defeated by officers and soldiers and retreated to the west bank of the Yellow River, he took his family out of the mountain to look at the wind but happened to meet the officers and soldiers.
But this is his rhetoric, Gao Jie and a few people were skeptical, so they asked the prisoners of the thief army, but some said that they had indeed heard that the king of Qin had surrendered, some said no, and some said they didn't know......
In the end, the three of them decided not to pursue this stubble, and how to deal with your emperor's affairs regardless of whether you surrendered or not, and we found out that you were meritorious, so we immediately sent someone to Beijing to ask for a reward.
A middle-aged man in the partial courtyard of the Yahou Mansion in Puzhou County looked at the stars and moon in the sky with his hands behind his back, burst into tears, and almost chanted the sentence that the old country is unbearable to look back at the bright moon, this man is Zhu Cunji, the king of Qin.
King Qin, once the first feudal king of the Ming Dynasty, and now as the fifteenth king of Qin, he is like a lost dog being placed under house arrest in this small broken courtyard, the tears on his face are regret or grief and indignation, he can't say clearly, he only knows what glory and wealth are now, and what revitalizes the family business is not important, what matters is how to live.
Although he said conclusively that he escaped from the city when the city was broken, he actually knew what virtue he had, and it was a royal shame for the dignified vassal king to surrender to the thief, and once Emperor Chongzhen confirmed it, he would be more than lucky.
Zhu Cunji didn't want to die! I'm afraid of death!
It's better to die than to live, if Zhu Cunji was not afraid of death, he would not have surrendered Li Zicheng in the first place, and he was originally the king of the Ming Dynasty, but Li Zicheng made him a general, which was also a humiliation, and he still endured it, even Li Zicheng's purpose of bringing him to the east was so simple, in addition to worrying that he would do something in Xi'an, he was to show him as a trophy, and lo and behold, he caught a Ming vassal king and took the initiative to surrender......
There are not many ways to live at the moment, either he can escape and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests for the rest of his life, or he will continue to go back to Xi'an to mingle with Li Zicheng after going to the end, but he knows that the chance is slim.
Gao Jie and the three of them treated him as a reward, saying that the courtesy was good, but they didn't know how many people looked at him, and even the few surviving family members hadn't seen anyone for several days, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
He knew that Gao Jie must have sent someone to the capital to communicate, and it wouldn't be long before Emperor Chongzhen would send someone to confirm, of course, on the surface, it was to appease but actually investigate whether the thief was surrendered, but in fact, it was only a few days, if he couldn't escape, then he had to ...... Fight to death and don't admit it!
No matter what the rumors are or the testimony of the captives, as long as he bites to death and does not admit that the surrender is a thief's frame, Emperor Chongzhen may not really cut him down, of course, as long as he sends someone to Xi'an to inquire a little, he will know the truth or falsehood, but at this time Xi'an is entrenched by the thief army, and the fiasco of this Eastern Expedition will inevitably be more closely guarded...... As long as Xi'an is still in Li Zicheng's hands, his life will be saved.
Yes, that's all! Zhu Cunji wiped the tears on his face, turned around and walked into the room.
