Chapter 17: Mutiny at Xuanwu Lake

In view of this situation, I thought for a moment, there are many forbidden troops outside the gate, and if we forcibly break through, we will die.

So I pretended to be stupid, and said to the forbidden army guarding the door with a demented face: "Brother Bing, we are going to have a dinner later, you guys hurry up and come in and have a drink!" ”

With that, I pulled in the head of the Forbidden Army, who was guarding the door.

But a few dogs still didn't believe it, because they saw Chen Yuanyuan carrying some gold and silver in his bag.

"Don't bring these rouge, gouache, gold, silver and jewelry with you to a banquet!" The leader of the Forbidden Army asked.

Fortunately, Chen Yuanyuan reacted quickly, and immediately handed the gold and silver in his hand to the forbidden army, and then said: "Master Jun, this silver is actually my filial piety to you, you quickly accept it!" ”

Several forbidden soldiers accepted the gold and silver, looked around and asked, "Didn't you say that you were going to have a dinner party, why don't you even have wine?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Chengen immediately took out the wine, set up a banquet on the spot, and called in several other leaders of the forbidden army guarding the door.

Just when a few people were drinking, I vaguely heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the Yangxin Palace.

If I'm not mistaken, the rider must have been someone sent by King Fu to kill me.

At this moment, I gave Xia Wanchun and Zhang Zhao a look, and several people instantly understood what I meant.

"Don't say it, the waste king's wine is delicious, and the brothers came to make this bowl!"

"Okay, it!"

Just when a few miscellaneous pieces were toasting, Zhang Zhao, Xia Wanchun, me, and Shuang'er used knives at the same time, wiped their necks and killed them.

But after all, there are only four of us, and there are more leaders of the forbidden army who drink more than me, so it is impossible to kill them all at once.

Soon these forbidden soldiers reacted and were about to open their mouths to question, when Zheng Chenggong suddenly came out of the study, and with a whoosh, four heads fell to the ground, and blood sprayed all over the ground.

"Change into their clothes and go!" I shouted nervously.

Without further ado, everyone quickly changed into the clothes of the leader of the forbidden army, and then pretended to be drunk and walked out.

As soon as we walked out of the door, a forbidden soldier ran over, stared at us, and said, "Boss, Lord Shangshu Ruan of the Criminal Department has arrived, and asked you to come over." ”

Dog's day, it is really the person of the blessed king, and Lao Tzu will not pass.

I twisted my neck and said in the tone of the head of the forbidden army: "Brothers, I just drank a little too much, you tell Lord Ruan to wait first, let's go pee and come over." ”

"I'm afraid that's not right, right?"

"People have three urgencies, and Lord Ruan will understand. Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and greet Lord Ruan! ”

After saying that, I turned around and left, but Zheng Chenggong pulled me, whispered that I had made a mistake, and then led us towards the south of Yangxin Palace.

Bypassing the columns of Praetorian troops, I saw a few horses tied to a tree stump in the distance, and two men who answered me.

I have to say that Zheng Chenggong was really careful and arranged all the transportation.

"Everyone, get on the horse!" Zheng Chenggong spoke.

Everyone got on the horse one after another, but there was one less horse, and Chen Yuanyuan was left alone, standing awkwardly below.

"Your Majesty, let's go, let the folk girls come and entangle them!" Chen Yuanyuan said softly.

"Yuanyuan, don't be kidding, come up quickly."

After speaking, I helped her onto the horse, hugged her slender waist, and galloped with Zheng Chenggong.

As soon as we galloped our horses, we heard the forbidden army shouting: "Lord Ruan, the waste king has run away, over there!" ”

"A bunch of rubbish, don't chase it yet!"

Ruan Dacheng barked, and several teams of forbidden soldiers chased after him.

When I heard this, I whipped my horsewhip violently, and I wondered how panicked I was.

With the bumps of the horse, Chen Yuanyuan's body kept shaking, and I was nervous and excited, and I felt like an electric shock.

"Xiao Zheng, where are we going now?" I asked Zheng Chenggong anxiously.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, just follow me. Let's go to the Zheng family camp first. ”

I was a little dazed when I heard it, Zheng Chenggong's military camp should be in Fuzhou, this wants me to run from Nanjing to Fuzhou overnight, wouldn't Lao Tzu be exhausted to death?

But I didn't have time to ask more, so I had to follow him.

Soon we threw off the chasing forbidden army, and after a few streets in Nanjing, I saw in the distance rows of camp tents stationed on the Yangtze River, and hundreds of warships in the water.

What is the rhythm of this?

How did the Zheng family's sailor get to Nanjing?

Before I could react, Zheng Chenggong yelled: "Open a camp!" ”

The soldiers guarding the gate immediately opened the fence, and the people galloped into it with their horses, and came to the largest tent of the main camp.

After dismounting and entering the camp, Zheng Chenggong said that the reason why the Zheng family's sailors would appear in Nanjing was because Wu Sangui went south, and all the troops in Nanjing went to the front line in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

King Fu was worried about the lack of troops in Nanjing, so he asked him to transfer some of the sailors to defend the capital.

As soon as I said this, I suddenly realized, and remembered that after returning to Nanjing from Jiujiang, I hadn't seen him for a few days, so I went to do business.

After reporting this, Wang Chengen asked in shock: "General Zheng, now that King Fu has known that the emperor has escaped, what should we do next?" ”

Zheng Chenggong said calmly: "Father-in-law don't worry, King Fu now only has 4,000 forbidden troops in his hands to guard Nanjing, and the rest of the men and horses have gone to Hangzhou, and my Zheng family has 15,000 sailors, all of whom are elite soldiers and strong generals, and there is no problem in protecting the emperor's safety." ”

He is indeed not bragging, in ancient times, the forbidden army was equivalent to the modern armed police, and its combat effectiveness could not be compared with the sailors who had been fighting for many years.

You must know that history has recorded that Zheng Gongcheng's sailors defeated the Dutch, and it was precisely because of the defeat of the Dutch that Taiwan was included in the territory of our country.

After saying this, Zheng Gongcheng added: "Your Majesty, the minister has a suggestion, I don't know if you are willing to listen to it." ”

"Xiao Zheng, just say it, of course I'm willing to listen!"

"With the construction of the ministers, now the troops in Nanjing are empty, and the people and horses that King Fu can mobilize are very few, and Ma Shiying's army is still confronting Wu Sangui on the front line, so it is impossible to return to Nanjing immediately. The minister thinks that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why don't we kill King Fu tonight, and then let the sailor enter the city to control the situation, and then the emperor can ascend the throne safely! ”

Zheng Chenggong's words are very reasonable, originally my plan was to wait for Wu Sangui to break Hangzhou, after King Fu completely handed over the military power to him, I would let him and Wu Sangui force King Fu to step down, but now that the matter has been exposed, King Fu will sooner or later send someone to the camp of the sailor to ask for people, and it is not a good thing to kill King Fu now.

I took the case and said, "What Xiao Zheng said makes sense, since I have already torn my face with King Fu, it is better to do it to the end." It's just that King Fu lives in the palace, and the forbidden army outside the palace is heavily guarded, and I am worried that if I attack it, I will lose the lives of the soldiers innocently. ”

"The emperor is really benevolent! But the emperor didn't know, before I came to Yangxin Palace, I heard the eunuchs in the court say that King Fu was not in the palace tonight, but celebrated the birthday of a concubine in Xuanwu Lake. ”

I'm grass, this blessed king is really good at playing, the country has reached a critical moment of survival, and he still has the heart to play with women, and he is worthy of a generation of faint kings.

"In this way, it is heaven that wants to help me, whether it is good or not!" I smiled faintly and added: "Back then, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Incident, killed Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and others, and finally ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, eventually becoming a generation of Ming monarchs, making the Tang Dynasty glorious for a hundred years, and now I seem to be going to follow his old path, hahaha!" ”

Indeed, as I said, history is really very similar.

More than a thousand years ago, Tang Taizong Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Incident, and tonight buddy I want to launch the Xuanwu Lake Incident.

As for whether I can succeed or not, to be honest, I really don't know the bottom in my heart.

"Your Majesty, without further ado, the minister will immediately take a hundred elite soldiers and go to Xuanwu Lake to get the Fu King!"

Zheng Chenggong said impassionedly, and prepared to walk out of the tent.

"Gongzi Zheng, how can you do things for the emperor without our Guanning Eighteen Horsemen!" Zhang Zhao said generously.

"And I'm Xia Wanchun!"

I grass! Hearing them say this, buddy, my blood is boiling all over my body.

If I am Li Shimin, then Zheng Gongcheng is Qin Shubao, Xia Wanchun is Li Yuanba, and Zhang Zhao is Wei Chigong.

Although I am the emperor in their eyes, they are not ministers in my eyes, but brothers.

"You have died for me, I have your loyal ministers and good generals, and you will die without regrets!"

I stood up, then walked to the tent, turned back to everyone, and said, "I have decided to go with you, even if I fail, I will not be in vain to have you with me to be buried!" ”

"The emperor doesn't want it!"

Everyone said in unison, they didn't want me to be directly involved in the battle.

Frankly speaking, buddy, when I just crossed over, I was still greedy for life and afraid of death, but now there are so many people who are willing to give their lives for me and for the Ming Dynasty, as the Emperor Chongzhen, what qualifications do I have to stay out of the matter?

"I have made up my mind, Xiao Zheng, you quickly organize people, and we will kill Xuanwu Lake!"

After speaking, I walked out of the camp, and the group did not dare to object, and got on the horse and prepared to kill towards Xuanwu Lake.

At this moment, Shuang'er rushed out of the tent and shouted, "Wait, let the concubines accompany you!" ”
