"Wow Wow......" Zhu Wengui, who was less than a year old, also seemed to feel the breath of danger, kicking in the arms of the eunuch Wu Zhong, crying incessantly.

Queen Ma was worried when she heard this, and she looked back at Wen Gui several times in a row. If Wen Gui falls into the hands of the enemy soldiers, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky, but Ma Shi can't bear to take his little life personally, after all, it is her own flesh and blood, she can only resign herself to fate and watch Wen Gui's own creation.

"Queen Mother!" Eunuch Wu Zhong knelt on the main hall with the little prince in his arms, "Please think twice...... Niangniang"

Ma said: "The mother of this palace is the world, the queen's respect, how can she be humiliated by the traitor?" ”

Wu Zhong cried: "The slave is willing to follow the queen's mother." ”

Ma Shi pointed to the child in his arms and said, "You are optimistic about Wengui." ”

Wu Zhong knelt there for a long time.

Ma Shi gritted his teeth and walked out of Kunning Palace without looking back. The spring snow outside had stopped, and the sun broke through the clouds and shone on the ground, and the bright light was even more dazzling under the reflection of the snow. Ma squinted his eyes and looked up, sighed lightly, and walked into the sedan chair.

Surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, the sedan chair was carried outside the Fengtian Palace. When Ma walked into the main hall, there were already piles of firewood and straw around him.

A group of people outside the hall knelt on the ground, Ma Shi held the crown of his head, suddenly stopped, and said to the eunuch next to him: "That little goblin is a saintly person, although he has never been in bed, but he has to keep his chastity for the saint." You go to the Jiming Temple and let the little goblin be buried together. ”

The eunuch bowed and said, "The slave and maid obey the decree of Yi. ”

She then walked into the Fengtian Hall and sat down on the emperor's throne. Then a group of tied concubines and palace maids were pressed on the firewood by the eunuchs, and the crying in the hall was very loud, and there were young women crying and shouting: "Niangniang spare my life, I don't want to die...... Ma Shi said angrily: "The holy brocade clothes and jade food support you, and when the country is dying, can't you keep chastity for the saint?" So the eunuchs took something and gagged the women's mouths, and there was a muffled cry around them, and the women were still struggling.

Ma gently smoothed the gown robe on his body, pursed his vermilion lips, put his hands on both sides, and looked down at the empty hall with his chest straight, but his hands were trembling slightly.

She was still very young and scared, but she gritted her teeth and said, "Go out and light a fire!" ”

The eunuchs knelt down and bowed, crying: "Slaves and maids wait to send their mothers!" ”

After a while, the firewood outside lit a fire, and gradually spread to the firewood piled up in the main hall, and a choking smell came to the face. Ma watched the fire gradually spread, and the tears on his face flowed, but he didn't know if it was smoked.

"Ahem......" She could no longer maintain the dignified sitting position she had just been, and had already coughed hard. After a while, she coughed more and more weakly, and felt her eyes sink down.

In her drowsiness, she seemed to see a tall figure appear in the firelight.

The video rushed to him and said in a muffled voice: "Where is the emperor?" ”

Ma was speechless. So the man picked her up and strode out again.

I don't know how long it took, Ma felt that her lips were being kissed, and someone was blowing into her mouth! When she opened her eyes, she saw the face of a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Ma Shi suddenly struggled, desperately pushing him with his last strength.

The man finally let go of her and said, "Sister-in-law is awake?" ”

Ma waved the sleeves of his robe and slapped it over, but the man reacted very quickly and reached out to grab her hand. The man said again: "Sister-in-law, I'm Zhu Gaoxu, and I don't have a light heart, just to save you!" If you don't let you breathe smoothly immediately, your sister-in-law's life is in danger. ”

It turned out to be that notorious bastard! Ma Shi suddenly burst into tears and scolded: "Why don't you let me die!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu didn't answer, and asked again: "That palace maid named Yao Ji, is she in Jiming Temple or in the palace?" ”

Ma Shi was ashamed and angry, and scolded: "The palace has called someone to go to Jiming Temple and let her be buried!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu immediately dropped her and said, "Chen Dazhui, be optimistic about the queen!" Fight the fire! After saying that, he ran away as soon as he finished speaking, and the heavy armor on his body hit the "ding-ding-clang" sound, but the others seemed to be as light as a swallow.

…… King Yan led a large army and entered the main gate of the imperial city. On both sides of the thousand-step corridor, there are many yamen of the central government office, and there are countless civil officials standing on both sides.

At this moment, a civil official approached the banner of King Yan, and the generals of the Yan division stopped one after another, and when King Yan beckoned, the generals let go of the civil official.

The civil official bowed and said: "Lord, do you go to the Taimiao Temple to worship first, or inherit the emperor's throne first?" ”

Everyone was stunned.

King Yan didn't answer, but asked, "What's your name?" ”

The man replied clearly, "Xiaguan Yang Rong." At that time, the court was traitorous and in power, brutalizing the loyal and good, the clan, and the lower officials who opposed the cutting of the domain, and all of them were suppressed and could not turn over. If it weren't for the side of the prince and the king, my Ming court would be overshadowed! ”

King Yan nodded and said, "I remember you." You go to find out who has been suppressed, write a list and hand it over, and I will immediately ask the officials to give you a promotion! ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang, for your kindness!" Yang Rong's face was flushed.

Zhu Neng next to him opened his bloody mouth and smiled: "You are an official who knows how to lift, those who don't know how to lift, all of them can't survive!" ”

Qiu Fu's voice scolded with a smile: "Shut up, what does Brother Zhu know?" This official surnamed Yang must have no power in the court, and he had no chance to climb up, so he simply wrote a letter against cutting the feudal domain and won the battle. Yang Rong, do you think I guessed right? ”

Yang Rong's face was full of embarrassment, and he just shook his head.

"You're all over the place!" King Yan scolded, patted his horse and walked towards the noon gate.

The gates of the imperial city have been controlled by Zhu Gaoxu's forwards. King Yan led the crowd into the palace, and outside the Fengtian Gate, he saw that there was smoke inside, and a round-faced military general came out and said: "The queen has set herself on fire in the Fengtian Palace, and the last general has already extinguished the fire." ”

King Yan asked, "Gao Xuli?" ”

The round-faced military general said: "At the end of last year, I will wait to enter Beijing with King Gaoyang, and there is a little nun who saved King Gaoyang." King Gaoyang rescued her. ”

King Yan didn't blame, nodded and said, "Gao Xu is indeed a person of grace. ”

At this moment, Yao Guangxiao, who had only arrived in the army last month, stepped forward, went to the side of King Yan, and whispered: "This military general only said that the queen burned herself, and we must first make sure that ......the emperor has died."

King Yan understood and nodded: "I understand." ”

Previously, the army was under the city of Beijing, and King Yan had transferred troops to besiege the city on all sides. Then entering the Jinchuan Gate, he first sent Zhu Gaoxu straight to the palace, and then transferred troops to seize the gates of the Beijing Division. The main purpose of these dispatches is to prevent the emperor from escaping!

So the army entered the Fengtian Gate, and sure enough, they saw a mess in front of them. The fire has been extinguished, and there is a large tank full of water ready in the palace to fight the fire, and the fire is put out quickly; However, the inside and outside of the hall were still full of smoke, and the wood of the heavy eaves was burned and collapsed in many places.

King Yan rode his horse to stand in front of a large vat, and Jin Zhong next to him immediately took a cloth towel, leaned into the vat to get wet, and handed it to King Yan with both hands.

"Dao Yan, Jin Zhong, Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng, and Zhang Fu followed me into the Fengtian Palace." King Yan said quietly.

Yao Guangxiao said again: "You can order Zhang Wu to lead the army to search the palace." ”

King Yan nodded, then rode his horse to the stone steps of Fengtian Temple, and several people turned over from their horses and dismounted, and walked towards the main hall together. King Yan covered his mouth and nose with a cloth towel and walked into the smoky hall.

As they went inside, they soon saw that the emperor's throne was empty. There were some charred corpses on both sides, and King Yan stepped forward to take a closer look at them one by one, and those people's hands were all backwards, obviously tied before they died. And judging from the bones and size, it is easy to find that almost all of them are women's corpses.

The emperor has probably already run away! Otherwise, he didn't kill himself, he didn't come to surrender, and no one saw him, what did he want to do?! The emperor wouldn't really think that King Yan would come to Qingjun's side?

King Yan straightened up, frowned and looked at Yao Guangxiao.

Yao Guangxiao said in a deep voice: "Except for the close attendants in the palace, there are not many people who know the emperor in the civil and military. Many officials went up to the court, worshiped from a distance below, and did not dare to look up, and did not know what the emperor looked like. ”

King Yan was silent.

Yao Guangxiao said again: "As long as the 'emperor' in the palace dies, the emperor outside must be fake!" ”

King Yan stood for a while, looked back and said, "There are five of us. ”

Everyone clenched their fists and bent down.

King Yan kicked a larger charred corpse with his foot, "Carry it to the door." ”

Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, and Zhang Fu rushed up to carry the corpse. King Yan said again: "Once this corpse is approached, there will be something strange. Dao Yan and Jin Zhong went to get a decent one, changed it and re-entered the burial. ”

Yao Guangxiao and others bowed: "The prince is wise! ”

King Yan followed Zhu Neng and the others out of Fengtian Palace, and he suddenly pounced on the black corpse outside the door, and immediately cried: "Idiot nephew, why do you want to do such a stupid thing!" I'm here to help the emperor's nephew......"

Yan Wang's voice was full of anger and very loud. Immediately, Yao Guangxiao and the others knelt on the ground.

Under the stone steps of Fengtian Temple, thousands of soldiers looked up one after another, and countless people were attracted by the cry of King Yan.

"Imperial nephew, how can you believe the words of those traitors, it was those traitors who harmed you!" King Yan cried loudly, his tears were stained, and there were really tears flowing out, and his voice was quite sad.

King Yan cried for a while, and then shouted to the heavens and said: "According to the emperor's ancestors' teachings, I came to help the emperor's nephew eradicate the traitors and support the emperor's nephew's throne. Why are you so stupid? ”

At this time, the general Zhu Neng suddenly said loudly: "The prince mourns." The country cannot be without a king for a day, please be the master of the world, long live! ”

Zhu Neng's mouth was loud and his voice was louder, and he shouted as if the entire imperial city could hear it, and the thousands of troops and horses under the stone steps dismounted and knelt on the ground one after another, shouting: "Long live my emperor!" The sound of "Hooray" echoed between the magnificent palaces, and the battle was very loud!

King Yan suddenly stopped crying, and glared at Zhu Neng with a flushed face.

Zhu Neng was stunned, as if he didn't know if he had done the right thing, and his face immediately turned red.
