As the night was pierced by the morning light, the bloody night finally came to an end. Countless soldiers of the family and the soldiers of the South fell on this night. Power is often accompanied by blood, and the transaction of power often smells of blood.

I don't know how many families in the capital have begun to wear linen and filial piety, and the houses of the families are also filled with the atmosphere of slaughter. In particular, the families who participated in last night's operation closed their doors, and no one had a bottom in their hearts, and after losing the protection of the Fuzhong government soldiers, the family no longer had the strength to compete with the southern army.

Outside the closed gate of Zhang's house, a group of unusual guests were ushered in, these guests were dressed in the armor of the Southern Army, and the leader was the new general of the Southern Army, Dong Cunren.

"Dong Cunren came to visit me specially and looked forward to opening the door."

The closed door slowly opened, and Dong Cunren walked into the Zhang family's living room and saw the Zhang family standing in a position and slowly putting down the teacup in his hand.

"I don't know what General Dong is here, why did he come to find the old man?"

Dong Cunren snorted coldly and then said to Zhang Yuan: "Last night, there were soldiers from the Zhang family who attacked our army for no reason, and it was your daughter Zhang Yu who led the troops, I don't know why."

"So you're here to settle my Zhang family today?"

Dong Cunren's face softened and said with an obvious smirk: "Master Zhang misunderstood, there must have been some misunderstanding last night, Ling Ai also went out of the city last night." I have come today to discuss. ”

"My Zhang family is now a fish on the chopping board, and you General Dong will slaughter it." Zhang Yuan sat on the chair and looked at Dong Cunren with a hint of doubt.

"This is a bad statement, if Zhang Jiaken expresses his willingness to support the abdication of the Son of Heaven to make way for Xian, then Dong can ensure the safety of the Zhang family." After Dong Cunren finished speaking, he also tasted the tea, which is worthy of being the tea used by the Zhang family to entertain guests, and it is a rare Junshan silver needle.

"The old man admits that General Dong does have quite a lot of means, but just because you still want to be the son of heaven, even if the Zhang family supports it, I am afraid that I will not be able to convince the public."

"Master Zhang misunderstood again, how could it be Dong's turn to replace the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Today, I want the Zhang family to say a word, whether they are willing to set up a new monarch. ”

At present, Dong Cunren and the people behind him have become powerful, if they don't agree to him today, they are afraid that the Zhang family will suffer a catastrophe. Zhang Yuan looked at Dong Cunren, whose face was full of threats, and Zhang Yuan had no choice but to agree for the sake of the family's future.

Seeing Dong Cunren leave proudly, Zhang Yuan muttered in his heart, who is this person behind Dong Cunren, even if this person can ascend the throne, but when the Northern Army sent out returns to rescue the capital, or the Qin State and the Chu State come under the slogan of King Qin, can these Southern soldiers resist?

In the courtyard of the Lu family, Lu Qian also faced the threat of Dong Cunren, after all, people had to bow their heads under the eaves.

Dong Cunren opened his mouth and asked, "Where is Xiao Yezi, the maid that your nephew has always loved?" With her and your Lu family's lives, your nephew will definitely agree to my request. ”

After sending Dong Cunren away, Lu Qian's heart was full of doubts, how could Dong Cunren know so much about the affairs of the Lu family, and the traitors in the Lu family were so deeply hidden.

With Dong Cunren reaching an agreement with the various families who sent troops last night, Tang Liyi smiled with satisfaction.

"The world seems to be beckoning to me, and now I have temporarily stabilized the family, just waiting for the reinforcements from the east to come out to help me with the last hand, what Qin and Chu are just chess pieces in my eyes.

The master on the side couldn't help but be happy when he saw that the master he assisted was winning.

"What? The Zhang family, the Su family, the Xu family and other families have already expressed their support for the rebels? This... Ahem..."The Son of Heaven on the dragon chair coughed a little angrily.

Su Xin, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head in fear and said, "Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding in this. Since my father sent me to beg for a thief, how could he commit himself to a thief? ”

The Taifu on the side said with a solemn face: "Master Su doesn't need to panic, presumably after last night's incident, I'm afraid there aren't many soldiers in Lingzun's family." I am afraid that the families who sent troops last night were all threatened by the traitor Dong Cunren. ”

The huge court hall was filled with an atmosphere of impending catastrophe, and the oppressive environment made everyone present feel like they were on pins and needles. Looking at the lifeless court, the Son of Heaven had no choice but to announce his retreat from the court.

After announcing his retirement from the court, the Son of Heaven called all the concubines and children in the harem over, and looked at the worried people, and the Son of Heaven sighed helplessly.

"Father, Erchen heard that the family loyal to us was defeated by the rebels last night, and now the rebels are going to force Father to abdicate, Erchen is afraid." After speaking, a five or six-year-old child wearing a prince's costume cried.

Seeing that someone took the lead in crying, these concubines and princes who were used to being comfortable on weekdays also faintly wanted to cry. Seeing such a scene, the Son of Heaven suddenly became angry, and said in a stern tone: "Do you see what kind of physique you have become now, and what you look like a royal style?"

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was angry, everyone had to endure their fear and pretend to be fearless, the fifth princess let go of the little sister in her arms, and the fifth princess said to the Son of Heaven: "Father, the son heard that Lu Zhan also participated in the siege last night, so..."

"That Lu Zhan kid ordered the big man to retreat from the city wall, I heard that it was okay."

Seeing his daughter showing a sense of relief, he couldn't help but quip: "Sure enough, the woman is not staying, and she is worried about her husband's safety before she gets married."

Hearing her father say this, the fifth princess Jing Nianshuang couldn't help but turn red.

Lu Zhan, who was taking care of Zhang Yu in the military tent, heard the people under his hand say that there was a person who was put down in a hanging basket at the head of the city, and it was said that he was a member of the Zhang family. Zhang Yu on the hospital bed said to his subordinates: "Bring that person over and see what is going on."

After a while, a young man came to Lu Zhan and Zhang Yu, and after the young man saw Zhang Yu lying on the hospital bed with a bloodless face, he knelt on the ground and said, "The eldest lady and Lu Gongzi, the Zhang family and the Lu family have an accident."

"Zhang Ze, what happened to the Zhang family and the Lu family." Zhang Yu and Lu Zhan asked eagerly.

"Miss Hui and Lu Gongzi, Dong Cunren coerced the Zhang family and the Lu family, forcing the Zhang family, the Lu family and the family that sent troops last night to jointly write a letter asking the Son of Heaven to abdicate. He also said that let's persuade the officers of the various families to withdraw immediately in the Northern Army, otherwise..."

"Don't talk, only half of it." Lu Zhan urged Zhang Ze.

"Otherwise, everyone in the capital will be executed, and Dong Cunren emphasized that Xiao Yezi, the maid of Gongzi Lu, and the red-sleeved girl of Gongzi Xu's confidante will not be able to escape."

"This Dong Cunren's investigation is really meticulous." Lu Zhan said coldly.

Zhang Yu waved his hand to let Zhang Ze retreat.
