Chapter 39: The Crown Prince's Murder (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
Du Xun sat in a hanging basket and was soon carried up to the city wall. When the body of this meritorious eunuch of the Great Shun Dynasty approached the battlement, Zhu Chunchen still smiled and stretched out his hand to pull him, and said to him in a flattering tone: "Be careful, be careful, hold on to ......."
Although Du Xun has been in charge of the food supervisor for many years, he himself is not greedy, so he is not fat and very flexible. borrowed strength from Zhu Chunchen and went to the city. As soon as he stood firm, he heard a young and gloomy voice calling his name.
"But Du Xun, the eunuch of Xuanfu Town?"
That sounds a bit unpleasant!
Du Xun looked up and saw a young man in a golden helmet and armor standing in front of him, pressing the sword with one hand and beckoning at him with the other.
This is...... Du Xun was looking intently, it was actually the crown prince Zhu Cihong!
This, how is this possible!?
How could Zhu Cihong go up to the Fuchengmen Tower? Isn't he afraid of breaking into Wang Li Zicheng? Moreover, he was still smiling at himself, laughing so badly, gritting his teeth and laughing...... At this moment, Du Xun had an urge to turn around and leave.
"Chitose Lord, old, old slave is Du Xun...... "You can't go, Du Xun has no choice but to bow to Zhu Cihong.
"Okay, come here, come and talk!" Zhu Cihong was still smiling, and beckoned to Du Xun with a smile, "Come here, come here, come over and ......"
This prince doesn't look right! The prince Zhu Cihong in Du Xun's memory is quite an honest person, and he is completely a little Chongzhen! But why does this prince look so mad now? He couldn't be trying to kill himself, was he?
Although he was scared in his heart, Du Xun's face still had to be tightened. You can't show cowardice now, or your life will really be gone.
Thinking of this, he pretended to be calm, strode towards Zhu Cihong, and when he arrived, he just wanted to salute again, but Zhu Cihong grabbed his wrist.
"Don't talk yet, don't say anything!" Zhu Cihong smiled and said to Du Xun, "Let's go to the back of the arrow tower to talk...... Cheng Guogong, Wu Xiang, Wang Qi, you should come together. ”
Du Xun had no choice but to be led by Zhu Cihong from the front of the arrow tower of Fuchengmen to the back of the arrow tower.
There are many defensive soldiers in front of the arrow tower, and there are many leather boxes piled up in the back, which are full of silver, and there are Jingjun and Zhu Cihong's East Palace guards guarding, and Zhu Cihong's companion eunuch Qiu Zhizhong is also watching there.
Seeing Zhu Cihong, Zhu Chunchen, Wu Xiang, Wang Qi and Du Xun coming over together, he was stunned for a moment: "Dugong Du, aren't you already ......?"
Zhu Cihong waved his hand at him and said with a smile: "Du Banban is now an envoy sent by King Chuang...... Qiu Companion, you take irrelevant people to retreat first, this palace and Wang Companion have something to say. ”
"Whoa." Qiu Zhizhong didn't ask much, and immediately led the guards and Jingjun who were guarding the silver to retreat. Only Zhu Cihong, Zhu Chunchen, Wu Xiang, Wang Qi and Du Xun were still behind the arrow tower.
Only then did Zhu Cihong ask Du Xun with a smile: "Say it." ”
Du Xun looked at Zhu Cihong's expression was wrong, his smile was stiff, and his eyes were sharp and scary, but he couldn't leave, so he had to kowtow to Zhu Cihong again: "The slave and maid risked death to enter the city this time, just to be loyal to the saint and the Chitose Lord, and to sacrifice the power of dogs and horses......"
Zhu Cihong still had a stiff smile on his face: "I know, I know, this palace knows what you have to do...... If you have something to say, say it. ”
The more Du Xun looked at Zhu Cihong, the more furious his heart became, he wanted to see Chongzhen as soon as possible, so he said with the intention of intimidation and threat: "Master Chitose, that slave is going to say something against his ears." Li Zicheng personally led 200,000 elite troops to attack the Beijing Division, and hundreds of thousands of horses were still behind to respond. Now the Jingshi can only count on Wu Sangui's tens of thousands of Guanning border soldiers. But the number of border soldiers in Guanning is too small, and it is difficult to defeat hundreds of thousands of rogues...... Therefore, today's Jingshi can't count on Wu Sangui! ”
Zhu Cihong was still laughing: "Go on, keep talking!" ”
Du Xun knew that something was wrong, and the prince in front of him was a little abnormal...... But there was no choice but to say to Zhu Cihong: "But Li Zicheng's conscience has not been extinguished, and this time he came to attack the Jingshi, not for, to seize the ...... of the saint and the thousand-year-old lord in the world."
"Really?"
"yes, yes...... That Li Zicheng actually knew that the Beijing division was easy to obtain but difficult to defend, even if he could break through the Beijing division, but the subjects of the Ming Dynasty would definitely be angry all over the world and swore revenge for the emperor. And the Manchurians outside the customs will inevitably take the opportunity to invade Kisuke, so that he will be exposed to the enemy on his belly and back, and he will not be able to take care of his head and tail......"
"Huh!" Zhu Cihong laughed out loud.
Du Xun continued: "So Li, Li Zicheng is not here to seize the Jingshi, but to force the saint to crown him as the king of Qin and Jin. As long as the saint agrees, he is willing to lead the army out of the customs to fight the captives and pacify Liaodong...... Chitose Lord, the slave maid thinks that this is an opportunity to save the Ming Dynasty! ”
"Good, good!" Zhu Cihong laughed, "I really didn't expect you, a eunuch, to be a talent...... It's a pity that my father won't use people, he should let you strategize, not let you go to Xuanfu to supervise the army. ”
What do you mean? Du Xun was confused.
Zhu Cihong walked a few steps with a smile, walked around Du Xun's back, and said in a gentle tone: "Du Banban, straighten up!" ”
Straighten up? Although Du Xun didn't understand what Zhu Cihong wanted to do, he still straightened up. Then he heard a thud, what seemed to be the sound of a sword unsheathed! Du Xun hurriedly looked back, and saw that Zhu Cihong, who was in the golden helmet and golden armor, was already holding a sharp sword in his hand, his face was full of murderous anger, and the sword was straight and stabbed at him.
Killed!
The crown prince is going to kill!
Du Xun and all the people who saw this scene were stunned!
Others are okay, but they were startled by Zhu Cihong, who broke out and killed people. Du Xun was miserable, and before he could react, the sword was slammed into his back, this hurts!
Du Xun screamed and was about to get up from the ground, but Zhu Cihong yelled: "Wang Qi! Wu Xiang! Help! ”
Wang Qi, a big man, had never killed anyone, and he was stunned all of a sudden, and he didn't react. Wu Xiang was still powerful, he jumped up and hugged Du Xun's head, turned suddenly, and broke his neck with a click, and Du Xun was paralyzed like a puddle of mud.
Zhu Cihong was already a little stunned at this time, his sword seemed to be stuck in Du Xun's ribs, unable to advance or retreat, and Du Xun was prostrate on the ground, and he didn't know if he was dead or not? At the same time, Zhu Cihong only felt a burst of nausea...... It's so hard to kill! It seems that I will have to practice more in the future!
Wu Xiang also saw Zhu Cihong drawing his sword vigorously at this time, and knew that it was stuck. But he didn't go to help, and he was stunned.
Zhu Cihong is only sixteen years old! Still growing up in the deep palace...... I guess I haven't even killed chickens, so I'm going to kill people now! And he acted very carefully, arranged helpers, tricked people to secluded places, and used words to relieve the other party's vigilance, and then suddenly attacked!
It's so brutal...... Now you don't have to worry that the prince can't subdue the wild girl of the third sister!
Zhu Cihong had already pulled out his sword at this time, and the blood rushed out, splashing his face, and he didn't wipe it, but just gasped a few times there, and suddenly pointed at Zhu Chunchen, who was stunned by the side, with his sword: "Chengguo Gong!" ”
"Minister, minister is in ......" Zhu Chunchen was about to be scared to pee, the prince really killed someone! There's still blood on the sword!
"Come here!"
"No, no......" Zhu Chunchen stepped back.
"Come here!" Zhu Cihong shouted angrily.
As soon as Zhu Chunchen's legs were weak, he knelt down, and said incoherently: "Chitose Lord, don't kill the minister, the minister knows that he is wrong, the minister was greedy for a lot of money when he was the head of the Beijing camp, and he also accepted bribes from Eighteen Zhi and Wu Sangui...... The minister is willing to give up all the dirty silver, and only asks the Chitose Lord to spare his life! ”
Zhu Cihong laughed when he heard it: "Okay, another loyal minister!" Guogong don't have to be afraid, this palace is not trying to kill you, you are a loyal minister of my Ming Dynasty, and this palace does not kill loyal ministers...... You come here to do something for Hongu. ”
"What does Chitose want his ministers to do?" Zhu Chunchen couldn't get up by himself, and his feet were scared and weak! had to wave to Wang Qi and let the latter help him up, and then moved to Zhu Cihong.
Zhu Cihong pointed to Du Xun on the ground, "Cut off his head!" Will it? ”
"Ah......" Zhu Chunchen's mouth opened wide, not knowing what to say.
Zhu Cihong turned his head to Wu Xiang and said, "Old Taishan, teach this Jingying general Rong how to cut off people's heads!" After the teaching, I will send someone to raid Du Xun's house...... He has been in charge of Shangshan for many years, and he must be very rich, so he asked the various ministries guarding Fucheng Gate today to send people to copy it. The palace only needs 100,000 taels, and the rest is for each part. ”
