Three days later, Fang Yuan and his entourage arrived in Beijing.

The defense of Beijing City is all under the control of Zhou Kui, and the current Beijing City is an empty city without defense.

Zhou Kui also took some officials to wait outside the Yongding Gate early to welcome Fang Yuan and his army into the city.

Beijing City, the other party was both familiar and unfamiliar, he traveled to Beijing and grew up in Beijing, but he has not been back to the capital for seven or eight years.

In terms of seniority, Fang Yuan is still Zhou Kui's grandson-in-law, and he is also a family. Fang Yuan followed the gift of his family, got off the horse and bowed to Zhou Kui.

Zhou Kui was flattered to see that Fang Yuan had made a big gift to his juniors, so he knew that Fang Yuan's move was right, and he had to thank him for having a good granddaughter, Princess Kunxing, so that the Zhou family could still keep their wealth at the time of the change of power.

But Fang Yuan gave Zhou Kui respect, but Zhou Kui couldn't really kick his nose and eyes, and hurriedly reported the situation in the capital to Fang Yuan, "Regent, enter quickly, only the palace is waiting in the capital, and the other nine gate guards have all surrendered." ”

With Zhou Kui's prior arrangement, all the garrisons of Beijing City had surrendered, and Fang Yuan could enter Beijing City without bloodshed. But the defense of the palace is not something that Zhou Kui can call the shots, so he has not surrendered now, but is resisting stubbornly.

Fang Yuan's kind words appeased Zhou Kui and his party, and ordered the officials who came together to return to their mansions and wait for the imperial court to send them.

Smoothly entered the city of Beijing, Fang Yuancai was really surprised, the streets in Beijing are still crowded, the merchants are still thriving, the business should be done to do business, the shopping should be done. Those who wanted to watch Fang Yuan, the regent, also crowded the sides of the avenue.

Fang Yuan also exterminated the Tartar soldiers of Zunhua and Yongping before, and defended the peace of Gyeonggi, the eyes of the masses were bright, and naturally Fang Yuan was grateful.

The regent Fang Yuan, who was famous and pacified the world in the southern and northern wars, was so young and handsome, and immediately gained the attention of a large number of female fans in the capital, and the cheers were not stopped, "Regent!" Regent! ”

Fang Yuan's kind face saluted the people watching along the way, which attracted a burst of cheers from female fans.

The whole city of Beijing, laughter, crowds, where is the slightest sign of war clouds?

Fang Yuan had to say that Zhou Kui's greeting work was indeed done very well. It is estimated that he has already inquired about Fang Yuan's temperament, and he doesn't like to disturb the people's greetings, but likes to enter the city in a low-key manner. Zhou Kui did what he liked, and did not create a sign that the city of Beijing had been occupied, and the Xuanjia army marched into the city and the Ming army went home, which was no different.

Fang Yuan asked people to find Huang Daozhou, who was with the army, pointed to the scene of peace and prosperity along the way, and said with a smile, "Huang Weng, take a look, the world is peaceful, and mediocre people disturb themselves." You and Shi Kefa are making a big fuss, why are you here?! Don't threaten again, you and Shi Kefa's perverse behavior is hanging the people and killing the people, and the people can't afford to bear this black cauldron. ”

Huang Daozhou originally thought that Fang Yuan would enter the city of Beijing, at least after a bloody battle, and even the people of the city would spontaneously go to the city wall to defend the capital and live and die with the capital. As a result, as soon as he arrived in Beijing City, the defense of Beijing that he expected was completely gone, and no one even resisted at all, so Fang Yuan's soldiers entered Beijing City without blood.

Fang Yuan continued, "Huang Weng, this is the people's heart!" In another thousand years, above the green history, it is also the foolish and loyal Zodiac Zhou who violates the will of the people, not Fang Yuan, who supports the Ming Dynasty! ”

The crowd watched the welcome with a sharper than any words, like a loud slap in the face of the Zodiac Zhou.

Where is the people's heart, what else can Zodiac Zhou say?! could only lower his gaze, silently, and was taken down by the Xuanjia Army.

Fang Yuan was very satisfied with Zhou Kui's greeting work, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, let's go to the palace to meet Your Majesty together." ”

Zhou Kui was embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is too stubborn, he would rather die than open the gate of the palace, and if he wants to enter the palace, I am afraid it will take a lot of trouble." ”

Fang Yuan said slowly, "What kind of trouble can it take?" In today's palace, it is estimated that only His Majesty and Queen Zhou are still resisting! ”

Zhou Kui saw that he suddenly mentioned Empress Zhou, his heart suddenly burst, and he hurriedly said, "Regent, my daughter, alas! Please also ask the regent to be benevolent and righteous and spare her this time. ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Queen Zhou is the princess's biological mother, and she is also my mother, and I will never embarrass her." ”

When everyone arrived at the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial Palace, the palace gate was really closed, and there were faint crowds of people on the wall of the Chengtian Gate, but there was no sign of swords, and no one even pulled a bow and released arrows.

Jing Jie rode to Fang Yuan's side and said, "Boss, the movements in the palace are unknown, wait for the Xuanjia army to take the palace first, and then you will enter the palace." ”

The palace is indeed dangerous and unpredictable, it is not appropriate to go to danger in person, Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, third brother, you go and warn the Jinyi guards and eunuchs guarding Chengtianmen to open the door and surrender within half a day, otherwise, they will all be punished for the crime of forming a party and plotting rebellion!" ”

Jing Jie took the order and left, with 3,000 Xuanjia troops, Chen Bing was outside the Chengtian Gate, and ordered the defenders of the Chengtian Gate to open the door and surrender within three hours. Otherwise, the Xuanjia army will immediately attack the city, and after the city is broken, they will arrest the stubborn defenders one by one.

After an hour, the huge Chengtian Gate finally opened slowly, and the Jinyi Wei commanded Luo Yangxing to take the Jinyi Wei Tongzhi, Zhenfu Division, thousands of households, hundreds of households, at least hundreds of people, all brushed out of the Chengtian Gate and surrendered.

Jing Jie collected everyone's blades and brought the group to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan and Luo Yangxing are also old acquaintances, Luo Yangxing is still Fang Yuan's old superior, and now he has long been humbled and transposed, Luo Yangxing bowed to Fang Yuan and saluted, "Regent, Jinyi Wei is the commander of the envoy, Tongzhi, the north and south towns and Fu Division, all have descended, descended, respectfully invite the regent to enter the palace." ”

Fang Yuan was concerned about Chongzhen and the princess's movements, and asked slowly, "Your Majesty, the princess is all in the palace?!" ”

In order to please him, Luo Yangxing nodded and said, "Your Majesty is not in court today, and the princess is gone." If the regent wants to find the whereabouts of His Majesty and the princess, I will immediately take the brocade guard to search. ”

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty is the Great Tomorrow, you Jinyi Guards dare to search?!" Daring! ”

Luo Yangxing slapped the horse's leg on the horse's leg, and hurriedly changed his words, "Yes, yes, Jinyiwei immediately went to respectfully come to Your Majesty." ”

Fang Yuan looked at the Chengtian Gate in front of him, but a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart. With Chongzhen's unbending temper, after breaking into the city in history, he went to the coal mountain to hang himself. This time, shouldn't you go to the coal mountain and hang yourself again!

If Chongzhen really committed suicide, his name of killing the monarch will inevitably be recorded in the history books. What's more, Chongzhen has the grace of knowing him, and he is his Lord Taishan, whether it is him or the princess, he must not accept the fact that Chongzhen hanged himself.

Fang Yuan hurriedly urged, "Go look for Your Majesty immediately, and when you see your Majesty's trace, immediately inform me." ”

Luo Yangxing was about to bow down to search the palace, but was stopped by Fang Yuan, "Coal Mountain, send a team of people to find it on Coal Mountain!" ”
