Genius one second to remember the address of this site: (vertex Chinese)., the fastest update! No ads!
In Jinling City, the sky was bright, and news came out in the palace that the emperor had died.
The civil and military officials had already received a message from the palace, wearing plain clothes, black gauze hats, and black horn belts around their waists, and came to the palace to cry and mourn.
Chen Zilong was dismissed and retained, but in fact, he was still an official and qualified to come to the palace. Looking at the ministers in the hall, there was no one with a sad look on their faces at all, the Ming Dynasty had reached this point, two emperors had died in two years, and two were captured, and they were still alive in the Qing court.
The panic and shame in Chen Zilong's heart gradually dissipated, and he began to think about their plans.
The news from Suzhou has not yet come, and Jin Shenghuan has not returned to Beijing with Hou Xuanyan's head on time, which makes Chen Zilong feel a little uneasy.
But after all, the play still has to be performed, Chen Zilong coughed lightly, looked at the full hall of civil and military, and came out of the crowd.
"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and the death is really strange, this matter cannot be investigated!"
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked confused, looking at the passionate and generous Chen Zilong, some old oilmen who had been immersed in officialdom for many years, and slowly tasted some tastes. looked at Chen Zilong's eyes, and also became playful.
Zhang Huangyan was really sad, and he was also one of the few people who was sad and sad about the emperor's death, and when he heard this, he asked, "What does Lord Chen mean by this?" ”
Chen Zilong endured his weak heart, his face was sad and indignant, and he said loudly: "Who doesn't know, we have Wang Mang and Cao Cao in our court!" ”
No matter how dull Chen Mingyu is, he has already heard it, this is an allusion to Hou Xuan's performance. He stood up and pointed at Chen Zilong and reprimanded: "Your Majesty has died, you don't cry and mourn for Your Majesty, but jump out to stir up the wind and rain and provoke the minister, what is your intention?" ”
Chen Zilong didn't fight when he saw him, in his eyes, Chen Mingyu was just a small history of Jiangyin, just because he was close to Hou Xuanyan and made steady progress along the way, he couldn't help but be jealous and hateful. He snorted coldly and said, "Cao Cao hasn't come out yet, Hua Xin can't wait to come out?" ”
His words are extremely vicious, Hua Xin is the first courtier to persecute Emperor Xian of Han and persuade Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi. Chen Mingyu is an honest man, and he is Lao Donglin's opponent in the bickering, and he trembles with anger.
Zhang Huangyan couldn't look at it, and stopped him: "Lord Chen, this is not a country market, how can you be allowed to accuse your colleagues for no reason above the temple." Lord Chen Mingyu is a gentleman, who guarded Jiangyin for 80 days, who in the world does not admire the loyalty of the Ming Dynasty, how can he be compared with Huaxin? Besides, Your Majesty has died, and the bones are not cold, so we are arguing and shouting here, what kind of system has it become? ”
Chen Zilong's face turned red, how could the credit of others be placed in his eyes. It is said that a small county in Jiangyin, that is, Jinling City, is not guarded by these gentlemen, and it is not worth mentioning. At the moment, he was just waiting for Jin Shenghuan to enter Beijing and force the palace by force. In order to achieve this goal, he could only continue to pour dirty water on Hou Xuanyan. Holding his head high, he said: "It is precisely because Your Majesty's bones are not cold that we, who are courtiers, must avenge him, and we can't let Your Majesty's death be unclear." ”
At this time, a figure rushed in from outside the hall, pounced on Chen Zilong, scratched and beaten, and shouted: "It's you, a traitor, who made Your Majesty angry to death, and you still have the face to cry for Your Majesty, I will kill you a traitor." ”
When the officials in the palace saw it, it turned out to be Wang Xiangnian, the great eunuch beside the emperor, who rushed out and punched and kicked Chen Zilong.
Chen Zilong's performance just now was like a shrew, unreasonable. Everyone had long looked at him unpleasantly, and when they saw him being beaten, they were happy to watch from the side. And they don't like eunuchs either, they are happy to be beaten by anyone, it's really cool to watch.
After all, Wang Xiangnian was old and weak, and he was quickly relieved by Chen Zilong and beaten on the ground. The two of them have long had a feud, and this time they are even more red-eyed.
At this moment, a desolate and tragic trumpet sounded from outside the city. It could be heard throughout Nanjing, and it was the horn sound of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Whether it was watching the excitement or the two who were fighting hand-to-hand, they stopped at the same time. When His Majesty dies, it is true that the bell will ring 30,000 times, but it is definitely not this sound. With the desolate and quaint sound of the horn, it is clearly the offensive signal of the battlefield battle array.
In a academy in Nanjing, a one-armed gentleman is teaching young children to read and write. When I heard the sound of the horn, tears welled up in my eyes. The room full of children, looking in amazement at the usually steady and elegant one-armed gentleman, picked up a stick and hurried away.
In front of a baked cake shop on the street, Liu Heiqi, who was lame, slapped a piece of broken silver on the table, walked to the room and took an iron burning stick, and shouted: "Boss, borrow your stick for a while, you don't need to look for money." ”
The pawn shop shopkeeper in the east of the city had just opened the door, stared at the only remaining eyeball, and shouted to his son: "Boy, take care of our shop, if I can't come back, take care of your mother." His youngest son, who had just turned ten, asked in a loud voice, "Daddy, where are you going?" ”
The one-eyed shopkeeper, holding a pawn sword, muttered to himself: "The Northern Expedition of the founding army is invincible, and Li Bohao of the Agni Battalion is willing to fight for the commander again." ”
The army pressed the border, and the defenders of Jinling were so frightened that they were scattered, and when they looked closely, they were their own horses, so they were relieved. After all, these people, who are plainly clothed and white, are here to mourn for His Majesty, and they are definitely not enemies.
Under the city of Jinling, Hou Xuanyan sent Hu Bawan to the city and shouted: "The Duke of Yue Guo entered the city to hoe and rape, avenge His Majesty, and open the city gate quickly." ”
How dare the guards open the city easily, this is the capital master, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo wait a while, and the villain will go to ask for instructions." ”
The defenders of Nanjing City were recruited by Zhang Huangyan after he took office as the secretary of the military department, and most of them were from Jinling.
How could Hu Bawan have the patience, and shouted loudly: "The monarch killer is in the city, and if he doesn't open the city gate, he will be regarded as an accomplice." ”
The defender general just wanted to talk, but was pulled by the sleeve of the soldier next to him, and looked back impatiently and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
When I turned around, I saw a crowd of people pouring out of the city, and if you looked closely, it was all a group of people with physical disabilities. These people are scattered on weekdays, just an ordinary cripple, gathered together, but there is a kind of momentum that swallows the world.
They rushed to the city gate with sticks, kitchen knives, and shovels, and the defenders were all petrified and stood in place.
The defenders of Nanjing really couldn't do it, and they didn't dare to do it, because among those people were their third uncle, cousin, cousin, and second uncle.
And there are tens of thousands of troops outside the city, which really hurt them, and those Tai Sui take revenge, who can stop them.
These days, if there is no one around, they come to the city gate very arrogantly and slap the gatekeeper away.
"Open the city gate and welcome the commander into the city!"
