Chapter 126: Upheaval in the capital
February of the tenth year of Chongzhen.
Time is passing little by little, and in the blink of an eye, the Chinese Army, led by the Liaodong region, has besieged the capital area for more than four months.
In this special historical period, even Zhu Chunchen, Xu Xi, and Zhang Zhiji, who held the power of the Ming Dynasty, could not return to the right path in the face of such a situation.
Although in this process, Zhu Chunchen, Xu Xi, Zhang Zhiji, and even Zhu Ciran, who was far away in the inner court, also showed an unprecedentedly strong attitude, but in the end, in the reality of running out of ammunition and food shortage, they could only accept the status quo of being led by Zhao Zongwu to control the general trend of the capital.
After careful conditioning in the past four months, Zhao Zongwu, who was originally seriously ill, finally returned to the kind of health that ordinary people are in after experiencing several dangers.
"Fierce as a tiger! Tiger Dawei! You immediately led the army of your headquarters to the inner court to control all the matters in the hands of the rebellious thieves! Looking at Zhu Chunchen, Xu Xi, Zhang Zhiji and other ministers of the DPRK and China, who finally surrendered the city, Zhao Zongwu sat on the war horse, looked at them indifferently, and said in a flat tone.
Although it is said that Zhao Zongwu has unprecedented excitement in his heart, but in such a situation in front of him, Zhao Zongwu cannot show the slightest excitement.
If Zhao Zongwu showed the slightest excitement at this time, then everything he had planned would be exposed, which would lead to the exposure of everything he had planned before.
And this is not what Zhao Zongwu wants to see in his heart.
Surrounded by the Jinyi Guard's dark flag, with Ye Chao beside him, Zhao Zongwu rode on the war horse, looking at Zhu Chunchen, Xu Xi, and Zhang Zhiji with unprecedented frustration in their expressions, with a deep meaning of ridicule in their eyes.
Zhu Chunchen's expression was filled with indignation, and his tone looked at Zhao Zongwu with disgust, "Zhao Zongwu! Don't think that Ben Gong doesn't know what you really think in your heart, even if it is a disguise, it can deceive others, but this can't deceive Ben Gong! Bengong knows that what you want deep down is the throne of the Ming Dynasty!! ”
If a few months ago, Zhu Chunchen couldn't understand what Zhao Zongwu wanted in his heart, then it can also prove that Zhao Zongwu has a deep ambition hidden in his heart, but in this situation, if Zhu Chunchen can't see it yet, it means that Zhu Chunchen is a real fool this time.
But since he can sit on this Ming Dynasty's auxiliary government, then he, Zhu Chunchen, is not stupid!
Zhao Zongwu, who was riding on a war horse, had a bit of contempt in his expression, a bit of mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Zhu Chunchen, Xu Xi, and Zhang Zhiji, who were angry in their eyes, and said with a smile: "Since you all know what your father thinks in your heart, then there is no need for this false disguise in front of you, to be honest, this father hates this disguise in his heart, although it is said that this is for the country and society he is planning, but this kind of hypocritical expression makes this prince very disgusted in his heart." ”
"You ......"
When Zhao Zongwu said this, Zhu Chunchen, Xu Xi, and Zhang Zhiji pointed at Zhao Zongwu with unprecedented surprise in their eyes, and they wanted to shout something, but they were all controlled by the Jinyi Wei Secret Banner guarding the left and right.
Since childhood, they have been raised by Zhao Zongwu, grown up in the Changshan Orphan Camp, and have undergone all the courses cultivated by the Changshan Orphan Camp, and have undergone such a long period of brainwashing, which has also created their absolute loyalty!!
Looking at Zhu Chunchen, Xu Xi, Zhang Zhiji and others who were controlled by the Jinyi Wei Secret Banner, Zhao Zongwu showed unprecedented pleasure in the depths of his heart, this kind of pleasure was something he had never experienced since he crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, but after being suppressed for more than ten years, Zhao Zongwu finally experienced this feeling.
Looking at the capital that was tightly controlled by the Huaxia Army, although he had been in and out of the capital several times, and had actually controlled the capital for a period of time before, but for Zhao Zongwu, such an unprecedented control was something he had never felt.
Even when Zhao Zongwu led his soldiers and horses to gather in the inner court, the young son of heaven, who originally wanted to grasp power, completely lost his pursuit of power at this moment.
Because of the experience of hard work in these months, Zhu Ciran experienced too many feelings that did not belong to him, which also made Zhu Ciran's original intention to control the power of the Ming Dynasty and the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty was completely destroyed by Zhu Chunchen and them.
Looking at Zhu Ciran, who looked hesitant, Zhao Zongwu pretended to bow to Zhu Ciran and said: "Your Majesty, this period is really hard for you, in this special period, under the control of Zhu Chunchen, Xu Xi, Zhang Zhiji and other chaotic ministers and thieves, so that you can't see the true situation of my Ming Dynasty, although it is said that Weichen has the elite soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, but due to the congenital situation, our army did not rescue Your Majesty in time!" ”
With the control of this special period, the Chinese Army led by Zhao Zongwu completely mastered the northern territory with the Yellow River as the boundary, such as Shandong, Henan and other situations that were ravaged by the Liukou army, were recovered by the powerful Chinese Army.
Even if the rogue army forces entrenched here wanted to react accordingly, they could not achieve a counteroffensive posture in the face of the kind of strong posture shown by the Huaxia Army.
This also made the territory that belonged to the joint control of Liukou and Daming completely recovered by Zhao Zongwu in such a situation.
It is precisely because of these things in his heart that Zhu Ciran originally still had a bit of eloquence, and he was completely destroyed by reality!!
Even the powerful Zhu Chunchen, Xu Xi, and Zhang Zhiji did not escape his calculations when facing Zhao Zongwu, the Duke of Dingguo, and even beheaded Zhu Chunchen, Xu Xi, and Zhang Zhiji at Noon, which also made Zhu Ciran's self-esteem completely destroyed!!!
The cruel reality made Zhu Ciran never expect that the situation would evolve in such a direction, and he was supposed to be a loyal minister and a good general loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but with such an unprecedentedly strong posture, he replaced the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and controlled the situation of the Ming court, which no one can understand!!
Even the young Zhu Ciran couldn't imagine it in his heart.
