Chapter 851: Empty Shell Palace

As soon as Zheng Ze left, the Supreme Treasure was about to enter the palace with the People's Liberation Army, when he saw the gate of the palace suddenly open. He thought that the soldiers in ambush inside had come out impatiently to attack them, but after taking a closer look, several smiling old men came out of the gate.

"Who are you? Don't you know that the People's Liberation Army has now liberated Jingzhou? If you are still hiding in the palace and not surrendering yourself, do you want us to come and invite you in person? "Xiao He protects the Lord with a heart, and protects the Supreme Treasure in front of the righteous color road.

Those old ministers were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, "My lord, spare your life!" We were about to come out to greet the People's Liberation Army in this palace, when we saw several adults coming to the palace. I hope you forgive me for the inconsiderate places! ”

Supreme Treasure looked behind the old men, except for a few attendants and a few guards who were following them, there was no one else, and the shadow of the soldiers was not seen. This made the Supreme Treasure more sure of his conjecture, the Queen Mother really ran away with the little emperor, leaving only these old ministers in the city. It seems that they are also strange and pitiful, they are all old ministers who have been abandoned by their masters and think that they have no use value, and they look at the people who are in the way of the eyes and can't get rid of them.

The Supreme Treasure didn't care about what they had done before, and personally helped them up, and asked with concern, "A few of them must be the old ministers of Southern Chu, right?" ”

"How do you know? Have you seen us? Chen Hongliang asked in surprise, could it be that their details have been known by the hairy boy in front of him, so it will be difficult to handle the matter.

But Yan Xiaoliu's words reassured them again, "Don't be too embarrassed now, these are all generals in the People's Liberation Army, and the one who spoke was the Supreme Treasure of the President of the Republic." What did he not know? He said that you are the old minister of Southern Chu, and you are the old minister of Southern Chu, and you didn't run away. And you should not quibble. After speaking, Yan Xiaoliu's instinct to be afraid of the official suddenly flashed behind the Supreme Treasure to seek protection.

"Is this man telling the truth? You are the general of the People's Liberation Army and the president of the Republic, Supreme Treasure? Chen Hongliang looked at the supreme treasure in front of him in surprise, although he was handsome and chic, but he couldn't see any talent and difference, and said.

Supreme Treasure just smiled at him and nodded, which was considered a tacit acquiescence, and the old ministers glanced at each other, knowing what to do next.

First of all, Chen Hongliang complained to the Supreme Treasure: "Oh, the chairman of the republic, you are really late, we have long been looking forward to you liberating Jingzhou." You don't know that the little emperor of Southern Chu is too young to preside over the government, and the whole court is controlled by the Empress Dowager Wan'er, she said that we don't dare to go west to the east, and we don't dare to say wrong when she says yes. The entire Southern Chu was made into a miasma by her, and she had the overlord of Western Chu to support her, so she could do whatever she wanted, so that we would not be troubled. This time, seeing that the People's Liberation Army came to help us get out of her clutches, we wanted to run to this palace to find her out, but we found that she had escaped from the palace with the little emperor and others, and also took away Nanchu's savings for a hundred years and a group of soldiers. ”

Sure enough, it was the same as the Supreme Treasure thought, it was indeed for them to run away, but fortunately, he let Zhang Liang garrison the Yangtze River, cutting off the only waterway out of Jingzhou, and it was difficult for them to fly out even if they had wings. Now it depends on whether Brother Zheng dares to arrive to inform Zhang Liang before they arrive at Zhang Liang, hoping that neither Zhang Liang nor Zheng Ze will let him down.

"It's okay, if they want to escape, let them escape! Anyway, the monks who escaped couldn't escape the temple. Nan Chu is finished, and it is understandable that they did this for self-preservation. However, a few ministers seem to be very old, and they must also be some of the old ministers who were very important to the former emperor of Southern Chu, right? Why don't you run away and want to take refuge in us? Aren't you afraid that the Southern Chu Emperor will be sad in the spirit of heaven if you do this? ”

"You ......" Chen Hongliang's face was flushed when he was said by the Supreme Treasure, and he didn't know how to refute it.

Fortunately, at this time, Imperial Doctor Hua came forward to relieve the siege and said: "Chairman, the so-called water flows to a low place, people go to a high place, and good birds choose trees to rest. We have long heard that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has a reputation for helping the people build their homes wherever they go. The republic believes in the people-oriented purpose, which is really what we old people want to see! That's why we have no scruples about wanting to join you, Chairman! After Doctor Hua finished speaking, the ministers next to him also nodded in agreement, and Chen Hongliang, who was blushing and speechless just now, also smiled embarrassedly.

Although Hua An spoke very impassionedly, in the eyes of Supreme Treasure, he was as ridiculous as a clown jumping off the beam. If it is really a loyal minister of Nanchu, if he is not willing to leave the palace at this time, he must repay the country with death. If you are sincere, you can't be as squirming and pinching as they are. Supreme Treasure was more willing to believe that they were loyal to Nan Chu, and it could be seen from the expression of Chen Hongliang just now that he said these words against his will.

The Supreme Treasure was about to answer them, but Lu Xiaoyu touched his arm, looked at the old ministers, and signaled that these people had ghosts. Supreme Treasure didn't say anything, and bowed to a few adults with a smile: "A few adults are really too high-minded, I'm just a child from the countryside, I am fortunate to be able to make friends with a group of like-minded heroes, and with their help, I can liberate Nanchu so smoothly." Speaking of which, I don't mean to occupy the mountain as the king and the city as the emperor. My intention was to establish a republic of the people, and I was only to serve them as a servant of the people. I hope that a few adults can understand what I mean and not misunderstand us and think that our PLA are all bandits and hooligans. ”

"No, no, of course we wouldn't have that idea." It's no wonder that there isn't! You just want to replace Nan Chu to do this, and you say it so high-soundingly, you can only deceive those ignorant people, and it is better to deceive us! Chen Hongliang replied duplicitously.

"Adults, how tired it is to stand outside! Although this palace is already an empty shell, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and there is still a place to sit inside, so let's go inside and talk! We just want to know the chairman's views on the rebuilding of Nanchu! Let's take a long time! I asked the imperial dining room to prepare the best wine and food, and waited for a few people to come and eat this feast! One of the old ministers pulled the Supreme Treasure to the palace with a pleasant face.
