Chapter Twenty-Five: Capture the Tartars Alive

The powerful recoil of the firearm made Zhu Youxiao accidentally fall to the ground, and at the same time, when he saw a bloody head with wide eyes falling in front of him, he couldn't help retching. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Chengen and others hurriedly surrounded Zhu Youxiao and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine, thanks to the rescue of two Aiqing, otherwise I would have died here today", Zhu Youxiao said with some trepidation and then stood up by himself.

At this time, Wang Chengen and Lu Xiangsheng were busy protecting Zhu Youxiao one after another, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace first." ”

"No need, there is only one Tartar now, with all of you Aiqing, I will not be in danger", Zhu Youxiao said and simply gave an edict: "Pass the order, be sure to capture this Tartar alive." ”

"Your Majesty's command, capture this Tartar alive!"

The officers and soldiers conveyed Zhu Youxiao's meaning to each other, and for a while, the whole scene sounded at the same time.

And Aobai, who had been fighting hard, also began to be a little distracted after hearing this voice, and accidentally hit an arrow in the shoulder.

"Your Majesty, look at how Weichen captures this person alive", Lu Xiangsheng at this time was also arrogant, rolled up his sleeves, and strode towards Aobai, babbling and screaming and killing Aobai with his bare hands.

Zhu Youxiao understood why Lu Xiangsheng in history was able to bring out the extremely powerful Tianxiong Army with a Wenchen, and now looking at his posture, where is there a little bit of the grace of the Jiangnan literati, he is simply a heroic and capable general.

Wang Chengen, who was unwilling to be lonely, also wanted to join in the fun, but was called back by Zhu Youxiao: "You eunuch don't go to grab this credit, let me ask you, have all the gates in the capital deployed troops?" “

"Back to Your Majesty, it was arranged last night, and now the city gates are heavily guarded," Wang Chengen replied.

"Very good, spread my will, immediately block the city gate, in addition, Dongchang immediately sent people to arrest Wang Jimo, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Biqian and Chen Xianqing, the imperial priest, Li Banghua, etc., these traitors who colluded with the Tartars, must be given a good trial."

As Zhu Youxiao spoke, he suddenly remembered that Sun Chengzong was also one of the ministers who advised him to sacrifice to the sky, if this sacrifice to the sky was really a long-planned conspiracy, then Sun Chengzong would not be able to escape his suspicion.

Even Sun Chengzong, as a university scholar, is now an official and a second-class official, so it cannot be ruled out that there is no reason why he wants to take the opportunity to get rid of himself and then go to the next level.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't deny that all this might be a phenomenon instigated by Sun Chengzong.

Therefore, although Zhu Youxiao knew that Sun Chengzong was a famous loyal minister in history, he still ordered Wang Chengen to arrest Sun Chengzong, but Sun Chengzong was not punished first, and the following officials were interrogated, so he could know whether he Sun Chengzong was involved.

Here, Aobai, who was surrounded by officers and soldiers, had no chance to escape again, and after seeing countless officers and soldiers shouting and putting away their bows and arrows and firearms, he also guessed that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty must have given the order to capture him alive.

But knowing that once the Ming army was captured alive, there would be no good end, and after killing a group of officers and soldiers, Ao Bai directly wiped his neck with a knife.

However, just as he put the knife on his shoulder, a long knife flew over, and forcibly cut off Aobai's arm holding the knife to the ground, so painful that Aobai immediately screamed.

At this time, the officers and soldiers immediately stabbed their spears and tied Ao Bai directly into the spears.

But who knew that this Ao Bai suddenly became furious like a tiger, roared angrily, grabbed a spear in one hand and twisted it with his backhand, breaking dozens of spears, and knocking down countless officers and soldiers.

Lu Xiangsheng, who had just thrown out a knife and slashed Aobai's left arm, immediately jumped up when he saw this, and shouted: "Tartar, Hugh is rampant!" Saying that, Lu Xiangsheng smashed a fist into Aobai's eyes, Aobai suddenly fell backwards, and at the same time, an iron chain directly wrapped around Aobai's neck, and two spears also pierced Aobai's calf, and the fierce Aobai fell to the ground and was captured alive by the Ming army.

Zhu Youxiao also came over at this time, looking at Lu Xiangsheng, who was injured all over his body, and Ao Bai, who was shot like a hedgehog by an arrow, he couldn't help but secretly speak, thinking that even if this was not a battlefield, the intensity of the tragedy was not weaker than the war.

And when Na Ao saw Zhu Youxiao coming, he also shouted loudly.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng, who knew some Manchu, hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this person said that his name is Aobai, and he asked you to kill him." ”

"Aobai, interesting, I actually helped Kang Mazi get rid of a scourge, find an iron cage to lock him up first", Zhu Youxiao patted Lu Xiangsheng on the shoulder as he spoke, and at the same time looked at the other officers and soldiers, and shouted loudly:

"Thanks to all the soldiers who fought bloodily to protect my safety today, I would like to thank you here!"

Zhu Youxiao's sudden action made this group of officers and soldiers stunned for a while, and it was the first time they saw His Majesty the Emperor doing it to themselves, and all the officers and soldiers were so frightened that they knelt down: "Don't dare!" ”

"Everyone, please get up," Zhu Youxiao said, and asked Lu Xiangsheng to count how many casualties and how many people made meritorious contributions in this heavenly sacrifice incident, and the casualties must be given bereavement benefits, and those who made meritorious contributions must also be rewarded.

Hearing that His Majesty the Emperor personally promised to reward or compassionate himself, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp were full of anticipation and joy.

However, Wang Jimo, who had already fled home when the situation was chaotic, did not have the slightest joy at this time, and the concubines in his family only knew that their master would hide in the study for half a day and not come out as soon as his master came back.

It wasn't until an hour later that a large group of Dongchang fans rushed in and directly broke through Wang Jimo's study only to find that Wang Jimo had been hanged on the beam.

At the same time, Chen Xianqing and Xu Biqian, the former imperial historians who were drinking flower wine at a certain Qinglou and talking about whether to go to the south to welcome Zhu Youxiao, the king of Lixin, returned to Beijing to ascend the throne to obtain the reinstatement of the good official from the dragon, and Chen Xianqing and Xu Biqian were also directly arrested by Dongchang Fanzi an hour after Zhu Youxiao's assassination, and Chen Biqian was directly broken because of resistance.

Sun Zhiqi, the former editor of the Hanlin Academy, who had learned of the failure of the assassination, was busy running out of the city, knowing that once this kind of incident failed, Jinyiwei and Dongchang would definitely be strictly investigated, and he would definitely be exposed.

Therefore, this Sun Zhiqi didn't even have time to take away his belongings, so he was impatient to run out of the capital, but found that the entire capital had been tightly sealed, and no one was allowed to go out, and even a horse in the middle of the court was directly killed because he wanted to break in, saying that it was His Majesty's strict order, and those who broke into the city gate, whether he was a relative of the emperor or a pawn of a peddler, were punished for the crime of treason, and they were killed!

Sun Zhiqi had no choice but to turn back, but he happened to see Chen Xianqing and Xu Biqian being arrested, which frightened Sun Zhiqi and immediately froze in place.

Can't just sit still, Sun Zhiqi hesitated for a long time and resolutely made a decision.
