Hangzhou, Zhu Cijiong, who was coerced to Hangzhou by Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, was also full of resentment, and fled without a fight, he felt that something was wrong when he thought about it, and felt that Ma Shiying was messing up, how could he abandon the capital, but Ma Shiying deserved to be a talent, and took out the old things that Zhu Youzhen was martyred and the world fell apart after Beijing City was breached, and persuaded Zhu Cijiong to focus on the overall situation, Zhu Cijiong also slowly accepted it under the "persuasion" of Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, Lu Jiude and others.

Then Chen Zilong led the soldiers and horses to Hangzhou to escort King Qin, Ma Shiying was more courageous, thinking that it could become the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, he was still thinking, wait for a few days after the Qing army's offensive eased, and then send people to pray for peace, willing to take the Yangtze River as the boundary, and the Qing Dynasty to divide the river and rule.

"Bang ......"

On this day, Ma Shiying was having dinner, Chen Zilong led the army into Ma Shiying's residence in armor, seeing Chen Zilong so aggressive, Ma Shiying was also a little scared, when he came out of Nanjing, in order to avoid leaking the news, he only brought 10,000 people, but there were countless people who escaped along the way, and after arriving in Hangzhou, there were only three or four thousand people left, Chen Zilong had one or two thousand horses in his hands, and he was still very afraid of Chen Zilong.

"Chen Dudu, is there something wrong? So exciting? Ma Shiying put down the chopsticks in his hand and greeted Chen Zilong with a smile.

Chen Zilong glanced at Ma Shiying and sneered: "Ma Shiying, you have caused chaos in the dynasty, betrayed the official position, corrupted the country, and held the Son of Heaven hostage, the crime is extremely evil, I was ordered to arrest you, let's go!" ”

"Ordered to arrest me, Chen Zilong, whose order are you, the emperor will never treat me like this, you are a usurper!" Ma Shiying saw that Chen Zilong was not talking about playing, and he was a little scared at the moment, and he scolded him inwardly, wanting to use the obscenity of his first assistant minister to deter Chen Zilong.

How could Chen Zilong eat him, he didn't do it before, it was to paralyze Ma Shiying, let him relax his vigilance, and he was also worried about endangering the emperor, but now it is different, he has no scruples, just an hour ago, he received a letter from Cao Bianjiao, I am afraid that at this moment Cao Bianjiao has passed Wukang, at most two days, he will be able to rush to Hangzhou, and the end of Ma Shiying is coming.

"Ordered, the emperor, the emperor is young, and he is colluded with you and Lu Jiude and regarded as a plaything in the palm of his hand, so he naturally acts on the military orders of the general, otherwise what do you think?" Chen Zilong sneered.

"General, which one ...... Do you say it's Cao Bianjiao, isn't he far away in Sichuan? Ma Shiying was also taken aback, is Cao Bianjiaodong here, then he is really finished.

"Exactly! The general has gone down the river to the king, the Nanjing you lost, the general has recovered, I will be ordered to take you, come and take this traitor! Chen Zilong didn't want to talk nonsense with such a person, and if he continued to talk about it, he himself felt disgusted.

Ma Shiying didn't make any moves at the moment, let Chen Zilong's men take him away, when he heard Cao Bianjiao's arrival, he had no luck in mind, he knew that what others couldn't do, Cao Bianjiao could, what Chen Zilong said was definitely not boasting, he couldn't escape.

"Lu Jiude, why haven't you seen Ma Shiying come these days, where has he gone?"

The official office of the governor of Zhejiang is now Zhu Cijiong's temporary palace, Zhu Cijiong was reading a book, and suddenly remembered Ma Shiying, who hadn't seen him for several days, and felt a little strange, and asked Lu Jiude beside him at the moment.

When Lu Jiude heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the slave doesn't know, the slave has been serving by the emperor's side for the past few days, and he hasn't seen Master Ma, otherwise, the slave will look for it and let him come to see the emperor?" ”

"Alright! I don't want to stay here any longer, so let Ma Shiying come and go out with me. Zhu Cijiong also lost the books in his hand, it was very boring, and he wanted to go out to play.

"Yes! The minions are going to ......"

"No need!" At this time, a person appeared in front of Lu Jiude, and Lu Jiude was also startled, as if he had seen a ghost, he staggered and fell to the ground, trembling all over.

"Big... Big... General......" Lu Jiude stammered, and hurriedly knelt in front of Cao Bianjiao.

"General Cao, why are you here, aren't you in Kuizhou?" When Zhu Cijiong saw Cao Bianjiao, he also seemed very surprised, he didn't expect to see Cao Bianjiao suddenly, he was surprised, full of doubts, and at the same time a little scared, it was Cao Bianjiao who supported him to ascend to the throne and did his best for him, but he did not know Cao Bianjiao to the end, but demoted Cao Bianjiao, at this moment his mood is similar to the mood of being escorted south by Cao Bianjiao, but there is a little more guilt.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here to take the emperor back to Beijing, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and other traitorous ministers have been taken down by the minister, the minister has led the army to recover Nanjing, the land south of the Yangtze River, there is no longer any threat, the emperor can return to Beijing!" Cao Bianjiao just bowed, and did not kneel down, from today on, he will not kneel again, from the day Cao Bianjiao was demoted, their love for kings and ministers has been gone, Cao Bianjiao escorted him back to Beijing, just because of his orthodox status, otherwise Cao Bianjiao would not be so enthusiastic at all.

"Really? Nanjing was recovered? Zhu Cijiong was also very surprised, he didn't expect Cao Bianjiao to recover Nanjing so quickly.

"Yes! At present, in the whole of Jiangnan, except for some remnants of the Qing army, there is no Qing army that can be the enemy of our Ming Dynasty, the emperor can return to Beijing, and the court is still waiting for the emperor to go back to preside over government affairs. ”

"General Cao, I know that I misunderstood you before, you have protected the country twice, and you have made outstanding achievements, I want to break the ancestral system, appoint you as the first and auxiliary minister of the cabinet, take charge of the government, restore your official position as a general, and command the soldiers and horses of the world, I will also crown you as the Duke of Ningguo, what reward do you want, you can say it bluntly, I can give you no reward!"

In the face of Zhu Cijiong's reward, Cao Bianjiao was not excited, he wanted these things as easily, what was there to be excited about, and he said calmly at the moment: "Thank you to the emperor, the minister is gone, the minister does what he should do, he doesn't dare to ask for extravagance, the emperor still prepares some, the minister's soldiers and horses are ready, and they can start at any time!" ”

"Okay, let's go back to Beijing! Don't forget to bring Brother Yongwang and Sister Changping! ”

"Obey the order!"

Zhu Cijiong left, Lu Jiude was still kneeling there, trembling, his body trembling and trembling, Zhu Cijiong didn't pay attention to Lu Jiude, Cao Bianjiao also saw it, this little emperor was quite clever, knowing that he would not let Lu Jiude go, so he gave it up categorically, and wanted to add an official to himself to the knighthood to gather his loyalty, but he was wrong about Cao Bianjiao, Cao Bianjiao has never been loyal, even if he is, he is also loyal to the benevolence of the people of the world, not a foolish heart, he was so close to him before, because of affection, Cao Bianjiao knew that this little emperor still had to take care of it, otherwise he didn't know when there would be some turmoil, and it would be bad.

"Take it back!" Cao Bianjiao squinted, and immediately ordered that Lu Jiude should be taken back for trial, it is not good to carry out lynching, he needs to maintain the dignity of the law.
