Chapter 340: Untitled
Among the three, the resourceful Qian Qianyi became the leader of course, and Han Zanzhou and Zhao Zhilong both looked at Qian Qianyi with eager eyes, waiting for him to make an idea.
Enjoying the expectant gaze, Qian Qianyi smiled contentedly, this kind of admirable taste makes people so intoxicated!
"If we want Your Majesty to understand and even be reused, we must make meritorious achievements, and if we can take down the rebellions of King Fu and Ma Shiying before the Pingnan army enters the city, it will be the best." Qian Qianyi asked the two of them to gather around, and said in a low voice, Han Zanzhou and Zhao Zhilong's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and their faces showed excitement.
Next, Qian Qianyi and Han Zanzhou were responsible for guarding the city of Chaoyang Gate to prevent the rout from entering the city, while Zhao Zhilong gathered his henchmen and soldiers, gathered thousands of people, and drove to the palace to capture King Fu and Ma Shiying. At present, Liu Zeqing's army is all in the outer city, and there are only hundreds of guards on duty in the palace, and they can't stop Zhao Zhilong's blow at all.
"Elder Qian Ge, why did you give such a great merit to Zhao Zhilong?" Han Zanzhou said with some dissatisfaction, it should be the greatest credit to catch King Fu and Ma Shiying, and he also wanted to participate in it.
"Hehe, Gonggong Han, do you really think it's a lot of credit?" Qian Qianyi asked with a smile.
"Of course." Han Zanzhou said as a matter of course.
"Haha, I'm afraid that the credit is too great, and he Zhao Zhilong can't swallow it." Qian Qianyi said with a smile, and seeing that Han Zanzhou still looked confused, he asked, "Gonggong Han, do you know who is the biggest contributor to His Majesty's pacification of King Fu's rebellion and re-sitting on the emperor's throne this time?" ”
"Of course, it's Pingnan Hou Chen Yue Chen Houye." Han Zan said.
"Now that you know, do you still dare to arrest King Fu and Ma Shiying? Pingnanhou led the army to fight Nanjing City hard, but the biggest credit was for him Zhao Zhilong to snatch it, what should you let Pingnanhou think? Isn't it as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly? Do you dare to do such an offending thing? ”
Ma Shiying's series of interrogations made Han Zanzhou stammer, yes, if you were to be yourself and work hard to build the city, but the biggest result was picked up by others, how could you not be angry! Chen Yue is the most powerful general around Chongzhen, and he will definitely be an important minister of the imperial court in the future, such a person does not dare to offend.
But Qian Qianyi asked Zhao Zhilong to do it, which was obviously to frame Zhao Zhilong!
As if guessing what Han Zanzhou was thinking, Qian Qianyi said lightly, "The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, with His Majesty's visit to Nanjing, the situation in Nanjing will inevitably be reshuffled, Zhao Zhilong, these nobles have been in Nanjing for more than 200 years, and they are intertwined in Nanjing, not to mention that they have a large number of shop properties in Nanjing, and most of the fields near Nanjing in Yingtianfu and even Taiping Mansion are also in their hands, which is really a cancer of the imperial court." Eradicate these tumors, and I will be able to prosper. ”
Qian Qianyi's words made Han Zanzhou have to be in awe.
Of course, Qian Qianyi had another meaning that he didn't say, that is, he didn't dare to take the great merit of capturing King Fu not only to take care of Chen Yue, but also to take care of his own reputation.
For Qian Qianyi, Qingliu's identity is the foundation of his foothold, and the last support for King Fu has damaged his reputation and plummeted, and Shi Kefa and others have separated from him. Now it's just that he has changed his court and returned to Chongzhen, if he catches the Fu King who was loyal to him before, his reputation will be completely stinky.
Qian Qianyi is ambitious, and he still wants to be able to enter the cabinet to govern, so he said so much to Han Zanzhou, and really hopes to help each other with Han Zanzhou in the future and form an alliance. After all, Han Zanzhou has a great chance of being forgiven by Chongzhen and serving in the palace.
Han Zanzhou glanced at Qian Qianyi with admiration, but he didn't expect Qian Qianyi to think so far, and at this time, he was still planning for Daming.
There were more and more soldiers under the city, looking at the suspension bridge pulled high by the closed Chaoyang Gate, one by one with a look of despair, standing by the moat and begging and cursing, hoping that the defenders could open the city gate and let them into the city. The Pingnan army behind was too fierce, and they had already been killed.
......
Under the desperate pull of the two domestic servants, Ruan Dacheng ran out of breath, in order to narrow the goal, he abandoned the sedan chair and even took off his official uniform, and finally ran to the Chaoyang Gate.
"Master, what should I do?" Looking at the closed gates, the two servants cried out in despair.
"What's the panic, I'll call open the city gate!" Ruan Dacheng reprimanded and squeezed towards the door as he spoke.
"Get out of the way, let my master come over, and call you to open the city gate!" The two servants pushed the rout, and quickly squeezed out a way to escort Ruan Dacheng to the city gate.
"This official should be Yin Ruan Dacheng of Tianfu, may I ask if the city is the Duke of Xin Guo?" Ruan Dacheng shouted at the city head with his throat raised.
"Hehe, the self-surrendered man is here!" Hearing the shouts of the city, Qian Qianyi smiled at Han Zanzhou.
He didn't reply, but asked the soldiers in the city to send down a hanging basket with a rope.
"You wait a minute, let me go to the city and discuss with Xin Guogong, I will definitely be able to open the city gate and let everyone in." Ruan Dacheng turned around and said to the two servants and the defeated soldiers, and then stepped onto the hanging basket.
With the hope of the defeated soldiers, the hanging basket rose higher and higher, and was gradually pulled up to the city. But the gates were never opened.
At the head of the city, as soon as Ruan Dacheng came out of the hanging basket, he was ordered to be tied up by Qian Qianyi.
"Elder Qian Ge, what do you mean by this?" Ruan Dacheng shouted in horror. Because he quit the Donglin Party in his early years and defected to Wei Zhongxian, he had a bad relationship with the Donglin Party, so he kept holding Ma Shiying's thigh, and he was very bad with the Donglin Party led by Qian Qianyi in the court.
But when is it now, how dare Qian Qianyi settle accounts at this time!
"You are a rebel, colluding with Ma Shiying to support King Fu to ascend the throne, betraying Your Majesty and betraying the Ming Dynasty!" Before Qian Qianyi could speak, Han Zanzhou jumped out and pointed at Ruan Dacheng and scolded.
"Ahh Ruan Dacheng was stunned all of a sudden, and his lips trembled: "You, you dare to betray King Fu!" ”
"Let's go down!" Qian Qianyi didn't want to say more to him, so he commanded.
In the distance, a large cloud of smoke and dust appeared, getting closer and closer to Chaoyang Gate, and Chen Yue's army was about to arrive.
Outside the city gate, the defeated soldiers were completely desperate, and they couldn't get into the city gate, and the chasing soldiers killed again, many people could only choose to kneel and surrender, and some people ran away from the Chaoyang Gate and disappeared into the streets and alleys of the outer city.
The smoke and dust are getting closer and closer, and the majestic lineup of the Pingnan Army slowly appeared, waving flags, spears like forests, and at the front of the queue was a tall jujube red war horse, and immediately a young general looked at the city with a cold expression.
"Get ready, open the city gate to welcome Pingnanhou into the city!" Qian Qianyi said slowly.
