Chapter 401: The Dung Digger and the Emperor

He said so, and the generals and soldiers of the army still didn't know what to do......

"That's what he's for!"

Zhang Guowei looked at the street outside and sighed.

Outside, it was already red, the active soldiers of the Guards, the retired veterans of the Huangzhuang, and the militia of the reserve were all red uniforms, and after the old cyan retreated, red began to sweep the city......

"Depose the Faint King!"

"The princess succeeds to the throne, we want the empress!"

……

Their shouts resounded through the sky.

And as the torrent of red went on, more and more people joined, and the ordinary citizens began to shout slogans for the empress, and then the same spontaneous processions appeared in the streets of the city. Even the students of the school joined, and the whole city was gradually becoming a boil, and everyone was converging towards the royal street towards Chengtianmen, and went to express their wishes to the eldest princess Kunxing, who was in charge of the country, hoping that the princess could replace her mediocre brother and become the empress of the Ming Empire.

The Empress solves all problems perfectly.

After this period of confusion and confusion, people suddenly realized that they didn't need to worry about the future at all......

Previously, it was the princess who ruled the country.

Then the princess will continue to rule the country in the future.

What a simple thing, everyone has been like this for five years, and it seems that they are entering the sixth year, and even the first batch of teenagers who are completely under the care of the princess have grown up and begun to move to various positions to become the pillars of the country. Then just continue like this in the future, continue to be under the rule of the princess, and let the current happy life continue.

Why do you have to have a male emperor?

Why can't it be ruled by the empress?

In other words, Li Zicheng should not have been given the fifteen million in the first place, he should not have been in charge of the emperor anymore, and even the one million stone grain per year should not be given, and the princess should be enthroned as the empress earlier, how could there be any later bad things, and how much less silver would have to be spent. Isn't it the heroine! What's the big deal, as long as the current good life can continue, who cares about what heroine, those wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty could accept Wu Zetian, why can't the people of the Ming Dynasty accept the princess? Wu Zetian is not surnamed Li, the princess is still the daughter of the first emperor, and she is also the blood of the first emperor, and this country is still surnamed Zhu, isn't it more suitable than Wu Zetian back then!

Speaking of which, these years are pure brain water, nonsense!

It's all a waste!

Waste of money, waste of manpower, waste of feelings!

In short, what is Yingjia, what Longxing Tianzi is all nonsense, it is good that the princess rules the country in Nandu, why did she have to go to welcome her brother back? Fifteen million, the result is to get back a blockage, how many people are worried about this during this time, afraid that the emperor's return will ruin the current good life, this is completely asking for hardship, spending money to find guilt for themselves!

"He's been laying out for five years!"

Lu Daqi said with emotion.

"He has been planning for this day since he pushed the princess to supervise the country, and he has endured it for five years for this day! It's so cunning, but I still don't understand why he has to get His Majesty back? He could have avoided this, he directly instructed his subordinates to do so, and he could also put the princess on the throne of the empress, but why did he have to spend fifteen million to welcome His Majesty back, was he just to welcome His Majesty back to the judgment seat? ”

He went on to say.

However, Zhang Guowei did not answer him, but turned around and patted him on the shoulder.

"We're all old, and we can't keep up with the ideas of these juniors!"

Zhang Guowei said.

With that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"So that's it?"

Lu Daqi said in amazement.

"How else? After all, the princess is also the first emperor, and the Ming emperor is still surnamed Zhu, and women are women! Even if we don't have the surname Zhu in the future, it's not something we can see, it's enough for us to be a Ming minister all the time, and besides, is it that now that we are at this point, you and I can still stop this general trend? You go out and say to them at this moment, the princess is a woman and can't inherit the throne, see if they will trample you to death! ”

Zhang Guowei said.

"The princess is a woman, how can she be a chicken!"

Outside, a rotten man who didn't know where he was running from stood in front of the crowd and shouted.

The guards who were walking paused slightly to look at each other, but there were too many people behind them, and the platoon was too dense, and the soldiers who had not heard the shouts at all pushed forward and crowded, and the guards in front could not hold back their footsteps and had to continue to move forward. Originally, he wanted to bypass him, but because the width of the two soldiers in the crowd was not enough, he was directly taken down on the road, and although the one behind saw it, he didn't have time to react in the push, and stepped directly on him. As for the ones behind him, he didn't even see them at all, and they were shouting at the passionate soldiers who cared about his feet, and then stepped over him one by one.

As for his screams......

No one even hears that.

He disappeared silently into the red torrent like a small stone falling in the flooding Yangtze River.

The condescending Lu Daqi and the others watched this scene silently, and then Yuan Jixian also turned around and patted him on the shoulder and said: "We are all old, and we no longer have the strength to fight with him, after all, the princess is also the blood of the first emperor, and we are worthy of the first emperor if we can survive until now as the former ministers of the first emperor!" ”

After saying that, he also left.

Lu Daqi smiled bitterly, and finally turned around and left silently.

In fact, these people were all burned to death by Yang Qing like Li Zicheng, Lu Daqi was the youngest, but he was already in his fifties, and his health had always been bad, originally in history he died of illness in Guizhou in this year. And Zhang Guowei is also fifty-six, Yuan Jixian is fifty-eight, Gu Xichou is over sixty, and Jiang Riguang is sixty-seven. They are really powerless, they can't afford to spend it with Yang Qing, this bastard, don't talk about them, in his current state, it is estimated that they can consume their grandson to death, this essential gap cannot be bridged. This time is their last effort, although they have achieved this result, but at least they have a clear conscience, and the emperor himself died, so they can't blame them.

They are already worthy of the dead Chongzhen.

These old people who had almost all died in the process of resisting the Qing Dynasty at this time in history, began to withdraw gloomily.

And at this very moment......

Huoqiu Palace.

The two armies confronted each other in the courtyard of the dormitory.

"Arrest me?"

Zhu Cihong said with a confused expression.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

He said to the man across from him.

"What do you do?"

Zhu Cihong looked at him, and then said very suddenly.

"Back to Your Majesty, I am a butcher who kills pigs and sells meat!"

The man replied.

"So what are you guys doing!"

Zhu Cihong pointed to the armed civilians behind him, and said in a sharply raised tone.

Although they all wore cuirasses, these people were still wearing their original clothes, because they didn't have time to prepare uniform uniforms for them in a hurry, and they were all wearing their own clothes and cuirasses, for example, the butcher's body was still stained with oil, and his sleeves were soaked with lard. The same was true for the others, one of whom was still stinking of dung, all of them standing there with the mark of their respective professions, looking proudly at the emperor in front of them, with their weapons in hand......

"I'm a merchant!"

"I'm a dock coolie!"

……

Then they answered calmly.

The expression on Zhu Cihong's face was instantly wonderful.

"I am the Son of Heaven, I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Lord of the World, the Ninety-Five, you arrest me? You grass people want to arrest me? Who are you to arrest me, I am your emperor, you are all my people, you must kneel at my feet! Arrest me? You are a great rebellion, God will punish you, I am the Son of Heaven, I am the Son of Heaven, I am your emperor! ”

He then roared like madness.

"Your Majesty, you have committed treason, and we arrest you in the name of all the people of the world, in the name of the country, and in the name of the law!"

He said to a representative of the four people who led the team.

"Haha, what a joke! People of the world? I am the Lord of the world! Country? I am a country! Law? I call it Tianxian! You are just a bunch of people, a bunch of thieves! You are both anti-thieves like Li Zicheng, you are not qualified to say anything about the law in front of me, you are anti-thieves, you are all anti-thieves! Dou Mingming, you are the escort, why did you let these thieves enter the palace, I ordered you to take down these thieves for me immediately and cut off their heads! ”

Zhu Cihong roared.

Dou Mingwang looked at the emperor with pity, who had obviously had a nervous breakdown.

"Your Majesty, they are here to arrest you on behalf of the Four People's Assembly, although the minister has the duty to protect you, but only to protect you from being harmed by the enemy, the Four People's Assembly is not an enemy, and the guns of the Ming soldiers will not be aimed at their own people. As a suspect of treason, the Four People's Assembly has arrested you for trial, which is in accordance with the law, and we have no right to stop them, and I hope that you will immediately order the Imperial Camp to lay down their arms. They are not the army of the Ming Dynasty, nor are they subordinate to the Ming Dynasty, but only the private domestic slaves of His Majesty, if they dare to attack the people of the Ming Dynasty, then as the Ming army we must be eliminated. ”

He said.

Behind him, countless flintlock pistols were raised, and the dense muzzles were aimed at the Japanese slaves.

The latter looked at Ding Kuichu in panic.

Ding Kuichu was also dumbfounded, because of the blockade during this time, they didn't know anything about the outside at all, because the Ming army controlled the palace, they were enclosed in a small courtyard in the dormitory, they just wanted to run and had nowhere to run, Dou Mingwang came to the door with the armed civilians who arrested the emperor, and they had no other choice but to face it.

"Dou Fame, dare you kill the king?"

Qian Qian shouted inwardly.

"Qian Shangshu, you are also on the list of treason, and you are all on the list of treason, whether Your Majesty's charges are established still needs to be tried, but your treason does not need to be tried, it is already conclusive evidence. General Dou, it is indeed difficult for you to arrest His Majesty the Emperor as a minister, but as a general of the Ming army, you have the obligation to arrest officials and civilians who have committed treason for the country. So what are you waiting for now, isn't Qian Qianyi an official of treason, and Ding Kuichu and others are not civilians of treason? ”

The representative of the four people said to Dou Ming.

"Arrest them!"

Dou Mingwang waved to the back and said.

Ding Kuichu hurriedly shouted, and the Japanese slaves in front of him immediately raised their guns, and the next moment there was a sudden cannon fire in front of him, and a solid bullet instantly hit these Japanese slaves, and then bounced up with a splash of flesh and blood, and flew past him at once.

Ding Kuichu was stupid.

"Arrest them!"

Dou Mingwang repeated.

Behind him, the Ming soldiers immediately moved forward.

"Stop them, I want to see if they have the guts to kill the king!"

Zhu Cihong roared.

His mental state was indeed a little unstable at this time, and he was obviously a little crazy rhythm, and he was probably angry by this unbelievable scene in his opinion, if it was really Yang Qing who sent someone to pour him poisonous wine, maybe he wouldn't be so out of shape, but what is this? A group of butchers, hawkers and dock coolies who sell meat, a group of lowly grass people, a group of grass people who are like dust under their feet, come to arrest him, the emperor, this is simply ridiculous, he is the emperor, he is the son of heaven!

The slaves looked at each other.

However, they did not put down their guns in their hands, and then watched the Ming soldiers walk towards them.

But no shots were fired.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, Mao Qiling shouted.

Then he raised his gun and aimed it at Dou Mingwang and pulled the trigger, Dou Mingwang subconsciously turned to one side, and the bullets whizzed past him not far away, but the Japanese slaves still didn't shoot......

They're not stupid.

Not only did they not shoot as Mao Qiling wished, causing a scuffle, stray bullets killed Zhu Cihong, and giving Yang Qingzhi a notoriety of killing the king, but after the gunshot, they put away their guns one after another and stood aside respectfully.

"Disarm!"

Dou Mingwang shouted.

Although they did not understand, the Japanese slaves quickly understood what he meant, and they dropped their guns one after another.

The Ming soldiers quickly crossed over them, and then unceremoniously pressed Ding Kuichu down, and two armed civilians stepped forward and handcuffed them, including Mao Qiling and Qian Qianyi, and the King of Qi was also taken down by them in this way. And Zhu Cihong looked at this scene angrily but didn't speak again, he finally began to wake up, Ding Kuichu and the others completely gave up the struggle, and let those people handcuff themselves and drag them away, but Mao Qiling struggled and shouted at him while being dragged away......

"Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, remember, you are the Son of Heaven!"

He shouted.

"That's a lot of nonsense!"

Dou Fame unceremoniously punched him.

This guy was almost hit just now, and it was the time for revenge, and he had a lot of strength in his hands all year round, and he suddenly hit Mao Qiling screaming and squirting out two teeth.

"Son of Heaven? Not anymore! ”

Dou Mingwang moved his wrist and sneered.

At this time, two armed civilians stepped forward and also handcuffed Zhu Cihong, one of whom said while handcuffing him: "Your Majesty, I didn't have time to explain to you just now, the small one is dung, and his body stinks, so your noble body should take care of it." ”

There was laughter all around.
