It turned out that Huang Taiji's Chinese army originally planned to directly withdraw to Guanwai and return to the division to rescue Shenyang, but he never thought that there was a problem on Dorgon's side first.

No matter how much Huang Taiji wanted Dolgon to die immediately, the 10,000 Jiannu army here still demanded it. So he simply changed his route slightly and went straight to Xuanfu.

Looking at the city wall of Xuanfu close at hand, the emperor thought of the news she had received from Dolgon asking for help before, and said hatefully: "Pass the order to go down and bypass Xuanfu." Go and rendezvous with Dolgon. ”

Huang Taiji and the other Jiannu armies had just crossed the Xuanfu to join Dolgon, and Chongzhen's army was also close to the Xuanfu.

Lu Xiangsheng and the others hurriedly prepared to welcome the car, but a lieutenant official and an attendant came first to read Chongzhen's dictation.

After sending away the attendant who read the edict, Lu Xiangsheng and the three looked at each other.

In the end, it was Lu Xiangsheng who spoke first: "It seems that Your Majesty also wants to take this opportunity to eradicate those eight families in one fell swoop." ”

Gao Qianhu said: "These eight families are tumors, and they should have died a long time ago." In this case, my old Gao sent someone to keep an eye on them. ”

The three of them discussed the matter of welcoming the car, but in the Fan Mansion in Xuanfu City, there were people who were restless. In the study of Fanfu, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yunfa, the eight gravediggers of the Ming Dynasty, are all here.

Wang Dengku, who couldn't hold back his temperament, spoke first: "The person who went to deliver the things hasn't come back yet, isn't there something wrong?" ”

Fan Yongdou said: "What's the panic." It's just a little late.

That is, if something really went wrong, apart from the prefect, who is not our person? Unless I am here today, I have to leave, how can anyone stop me? ”

Jin Liangyu agreed: "Yes, this Xuanfu Datong, where are not our people up and down?" Afraid of what? ”

Wang Dengku said: "Having said that, this Xuanfu prefect is not our person after all. And according to the news from the Beijing Division, although Dajin came to the city this time, it did not benefit at all. This time, we have more supplies to prepare, and I don't know if Dajin Guo can afford this money. ”

Fan Yongdou sneered and said, "Dajin Kingdom is now strong and strong, even if you can't afford to pay for a while, it doesn't hurt to give him credit first." Sooner or later, I will earn it back from him with interest.

As for the fact that the prefect wanted to borrow grain and grass last night, he complied. Give him some of them, and then slowly pull him into the water later. ”

As soon as this remark came out, several other people also agreed. While they were praising each other, the housekeeper of the Fan Mansion came to tell them that the prefect had sent someone to come.

Fan Yongdou said: "Heh." This is really unbearable for our prefect. Sure enough, it's still too young. ”

Huang Yun said: "Not bad. Since we answered him last night, we will definitely give him some grain and grass. ”

A few traitors discussed again, and then went to the front hall to greet them. It's just that when they met, they found out that it was the little guy who was waiting for Lu Xiangsheng last night, and it was the son of Lu Xiangsheng's family, and he could be regarded as the most trusted person by Lu Xiangsheng outside the Xuanfu today.

As soon as Fan Yongdou saw this little guy, he said with a smile on his face: "Little brother is not waiting by Lord Lu's side, and he comes to the cold house, he really leads the cold house to shine!"

I don't know if my brother is here, but it's for food and grass? Fan had already ordered someone to prepare. I'll be able to take it back with me in a while. ”

The little guy said, "Master Fan laughed." My lord ordered me to come to inform you that the Jiannu chieftain Taiji was defeated in the capital and is now fleeing outside the gate.

Today, the Holy Emperor is personally driving, and the Holy Driver will immediately arrive at Xuanfu.

My lord said that among the gentry of Xuanfu, eight lords should be the leading figures, so I asked you to organize local squires to go outside the city gate to greet the holy driver. ”

Fan Yongdou said: "Please ask my brother to reply to Lord Fuzun on behalf of Fan, Fan will definitely do it properly, and he will definitely not lose the face of my Xuanfu." ”

A few traitors sent the little guy away, and while sending someone to inform the other leading figures in the Xuan Mansion, they returned to Fan Yongdou's study to discuss.

As soon as a few people sat down, Fan Yongdou spoke first: "This Jiannu is really not angry. But it's okay, you will have to rely more on us in the future. In the future, I will have to stock up on more iron tools and grass. ”

Wang Dengku said: "When is it now?" Still thinking about money? Now that the emperor is coming, I want to think about how to deal with the past first. ”

Fan Yongdou said with a gloomy face: "It's okay. Let's just have more food and grass. The little emperor drove the expedition in person, he thought he was the ancestor of Taizu? Don't end up like Emperor Yingzong! ”

Because of the arrival of Emperor Chongzhen, the eight locust merchants who disrupted the plan to sell the country were very unhappy, and even looked forward to another Tumubao change.

It's just that no matter how unhappy it is, those who should be driven still have to be welcomed, and those who should be prepared still have to be prepared, and then rushed to the gate of Xuanfu, and at this time they could already see Emperor Chongzhen's holy drive from afar.

After half an hour passed, Chongzhen's royal car finally came to the gate of Xuanfu City. It's just that it's not the situation where people imagine a few horses following the cart and Chongzhen sitting on the royal chariot.

Emperor Chongzhen, dressed in golden armor, rode a snow-white war horse first.

Behind him, half a horse behind, on the left is the Eastern Sect Leader Fang Zhenghua, and on the right is a Angzang man in battle armor, who is Man Gui. After that, there is an army of black crows, which has the potential to connect the sky and the earth.

Look at Emperor Chongzhen again, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, wearing a vermilion cloak, with a beautiful demeanor and fair skin. was originally the son of Xun Shijia, but he was dressed in armor, and Zhao Zilong, who was better than the white horse and silver gun, was ashamed to death by Wenhou Lu Fengxian.

When everyone present saw it, they all secretly said in their hearts: "What a heroic son of heaven!" I'm afraid that it is not much better than becoming an ancestor! ”

Seeing that Chongzhen had arrived, Lu Xiangsheng, as the highest status among the people in Xuanfu, immediately came out of the crowd and knelt down in front of Chongzhen's horse: "Minister Lu Xiangsheng, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Chongzhen sat upright on the horse and said, "Lu Aiqing is flat." I came after Jiannu, why did Aiqing labor the people in the city? ”

At that moment, he drove his horse forward and said loudly: "People, the princes of the court of the Dynasty, and the troops at the border gates, I apologize to you!" Let you suffer! As he spoke, he bowed slightly.

How have the people here ever seen this? Immediately, Hula lala fell to his knees again.

"Lu Aiqing, introduce me to the people of Xuanfu." Looking at the few people kneeling down beside Lu Xiangsheng, Chongzhen said with a smile.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately got up and said, "The minister obeys the order." Then he pointed to the eight locust merchants and said, "Your Majesty, these eight are Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, etc. These eight people are famous squires in the land of Xuanda."

Chongzhen looked at the eight locust merchants and said with a smile: "Oh? I have heard the names of several people in Jingshi. Very good. ”

Fan Yongdou and the others immediately rejoiced: "The grass people don't dare. The grass people are cheap, and I am afraid that it will insult the saints. "I thought that my name was Emperor Chongzhen, and I had heard it, so I would sigh in the future. In the three hundred years of the dynasty, who else is there except for Shen Wansan, who doesn't know how to die? There is no one except for the gentlemen!

Chongzhen said: "What don't you dare? You and others sold weapons, grain, grass and Jiannu privately, and let Jiannu use them to kill my Daming. People, and. Why don't you dare?! ”

Chongzhen, who was full of emotion, said to Man Gui behind him: "Take these eight people!" Blockade Xuanfu, allow to enter but not to leave! ”
