Zheng Sen's army moved back much more slowly, and it took seven days for the army to return to Beijing. At this time, Wu Sangui had already arrived in Beijing with more than 20,000 Guan Ning troops a day ahead of schedule. Judging from the distance, Wu Sangui is not slow to run this part of the road, it seems that Wu Sangui is very enthusiastic about King Fu's accession to the throne and the pursuit of Li Zicheng.

Knowing that Zheng Sen had returned with the army, Wu Sangui and some other generals went to meet him outside Yongdingmen. The two sides saluted, and Wu Sangui said: "The last general heard that Zheng Shuai had continuously broken the Jianxuan Liukou, and he was really admired. It's a pity that the last general resisted Jianshen at Shanhaiguan, but he didn't have time to rush over and fight side by side with Zheng Shuai, which is really a regret in life. ”

Zheng Sen listened and said with a smile: "Wu Shuai is in Shanhaiguan and repels the army led by Huang Taiji, the chief of the gneins, which is also admirable. Today, the young general saw Wu Shuai's army, and the army was neat, and he was really a bear and tiger soldier. It shows that Wu Shuai usually manages the army well. If you are swaying today, it is the time for heroes to use force. His Royal Highness has always admired Wu Shuai and praised him as the dry city of the country. Wu Shuai's wealth in the future is unlimited. ”

The two smiled at each other, and Zheng Sen said a few words to the other generals. Most of these generals have surrendered to Li Zicheng, but now although they have become the Ming army anyway, their hearts are not stable. Zheng Sen didn't talk to them much, but only said hello briefly, encouraged them to make meritorious contributions, and then led the army into the city.

……

Zheng Sen's current residence in Beijing is the home of Zhou Guozhang Zhou Kui in the past. Zhou Guozhang was a miser all his life, and finally fell into the hands of Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin. To be honest, Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin didn't want his life at first, they just wanted to ask him for money. However, Zhou Kui is famous for asking for money and not dying, his habit of asking for money and not dying has come up, and he refuses to say where the money is hidden when he dies. As a result, his wife and several sons were tortured to death, and he himself was tortured by various tricks. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore and confessed the place where the silver was hidden, but at that time he was already seriously injured by the torture, and it didn't take long for him to die of his injuries. So the whole family died, and the mansion happened to be vacant.

On the night when Zheng Sen lived in this mansion, someone suddenly came to see Zheng Sen. Zhu Cihuan, the fifth prince of the fifth prince who claimed to be the emperor of Daxing, was rescued by the righteous when the city was broken, and now he saw that the king had recovered the capital division, so he came out to see Zheng Sen.

"Sir, is it really His Royal Highness the Eternal King?" Zheng Sen deliberately acted as if he didn't know about this matter, and the rescue of King Yong had nothing to do with the Zheng family (in fact, Zhu Cihuan himself didn't know the true identity of those "righteous men") and asked, "It's been a few days since the king recovered the Jingshi, why did Mr. ...... today?"

"Zheng Zongbing," Zhu Cihuan hurriedly said, "It has indeed been a while since Wang Shi recovered the Beijing Division, but Zheng Zongbing did not stay in the Beijing Division at that time, but went directly to pursue the thieves. The rest of the people in Beijing are all shameless people who have betrayed my Ming Dynasty! But the lonely king can't trust these people. ”

"Sir, it's not that the Admiral refuses to believe your identity, it's just that Sir's identity is really extraordinary...... The last general will find a few ministers who have seen His Highness to recognize him. Zheng Sen said, "First wronged Mr. and live here in a certain general." ”

Zhu Cihuan also knew that it was impossible for Zheng Sen to recognize himself as the prince until no one confirmed his identity, so he nodded and said, "I'm tired of the chief soldier." ”

Zheng Sen stared at Zhu Cihuan again and asked, "Sir, do you know the current situation?" ”

"This ......" Zhu Cihuan listened and hesitated for a moment, "Xiao Wang heard that Zheng Shuai defeated Jianxuan and Liukou in a row, and also heard that King Fu was ...... He is now a prisoner. ”

Zheng Sen nodded and said, "Yes, after the Son of Heaven made a big trip, several princes didn't know what to do, and no one presided over state affairs. And outside the gate, Jianxuan took the opportunity to enter the prison. I'm really in danger. Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Fu supervised the country with the prince, personally visited the former enemy, coordinated the last general in the center and Wu Zongbing to cooperate in the battle, the luck of Lai Tian, the blessing of Zongmiao, finally repelled Jianxuan, defeated the thief, and was able to recover the Jingshi ......"

Zhu Cihuan frowned, the crown prince died of illness not long ago, and now he is the only son of Emperor Chongzhen. To say that he had no idea about the throne at all is not true. However, hearing what Zheng Sen said, he also understood that now that King Fu, who is in charge of the country, has made such a contribution, even if he is the crown prince, he may not be able to inherit the throne smoothly, let alone just a prince.

"Sir, if it is really His Royal Highness the Eternal King, I wonder what your plans are in the future?" Zheng Sen asked again.

"Alas," Zhu Cihuan sighed, if he wants to say what plans he has in the future, he really doesn't seem to have any plans, Zhu Cihuan is not a person who is particularly keen on the throne, and he is particularly afraid of death. If he could become the emperor without risk, he would naturally not object, but now, to compete for the throne, it is obviously a big risk, and Zhu Cihuan is really unwilling to risk his life for the throne. In the original history, he has been hiding in the people, everything is to save his life, and the righteous people who resist the Qing Dynasty all over the world hope that he can come out and lead everyone to expel the Tartars, but he can hide as far as he can. I just wanted to save my life, but I hid for a lifetime, and finally when I was old, I was found out by the Qing Dynasty, and then I was executed by Ling Chi.

"Zheng Zongbing, where can Xiao Wang have any plans. I just want to save my life in troubled times. In the end, Zhu Cihuan sighed again and said.

……

Early the next morning, Zheng Sen was about to ask a few ministers to come over and let Zhu Cihuan cross a clear road, but he got a message that King Fu had arrived outside the city together with Ma Shiying and Qian Qianyi, escorted by a thousand Guan Ning troops and a model army of an infantry battalion. Therefore, all the officials in the city must go out of the city at once to meet the king of the prison kingdom.

"The Blessed King came so quickly. But that's fine. Zheng Sen thought so, and at the same time asked someone to inform Zhu Cihuan. Let him wait in the house first.

Zheng Sen and Wu Sangui went to greet the remaining civil and military officials in the capital, and King Fu also encouraged everyone. After the ceremony, Zheng Sen walked to Qian Qianyi, first met Qian Qianyi as a student, and then met Ma Shiying as a junior. The three of them accompanied King Fu into the city and arranged for King Fu to live in the side hall of the palace. When they had finished their salutation, they withdrew.

Zheng Sen came out of the palace, but saw that Qian Qianyi and Ma Shiying were waiting for him outside, so he walked up and said to them: "Teacher, Governor Ma, there was a person who suddenly came to visit the students yesterday, and he claimed to be King Yong. The students talked to him, and they couldn't see any flaws, I don't know if the two of them could see the Yongwang? ”
