Chapter 5: The Darkness Before Dawn

"Your Majesty, the rebels have entered Donghua Gate." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Cao Wenzhao said. "The minister risked his life, please ask Your Majesty to move. There are micro-ministers and others here who kill enemies for His Majesty." "The British prince doesn't have to be like this, Aiqing is loyal to the king, why risk death. But I won't move anywhere else. Here I watched my tiger and tore these traitors with my own hands." "Your Majesty, Zhang Weixian still needs to be persuaded." Zhu Youxiao has decided to stay here. Zhang Weixian could only smile bitterly, and then went down and instructed the guards to take care of Zhu Youxiao. Kill, kill, rush forward, shouting and killing is earth-shattering, and the rebels see that the Donghua Gate has been broken. Let out a roar of excitement. It seems that the position of power is in front of him, but he does not know that he is one step closer to death. "Lord, the palace gate has been broken, please enter the palace." Qian Shizhong said. King Fu waved his fat hand, quite imposing, and shouted excitedly, "Enter the palace." Wang An, bring Zheng Guifei and Li Xuan's envoys, and I want them to see their defeat with their own eyes." 'Your Majesty, slave and maid will go.' At this moment, in the place of battle, Qian Shizhong thought that when he entered the palace gate, it would be a horse and a flat river, but who knew that it was difficult to push further, and he obviously felt that since entering the palace gate, the resistance of the Yulin Army has strengthened. It's noticeably much more violent than it was at the beginning. Although the resistance was fierce outside the Donghua Gate, he felt that Yu Linwei did not do his best, and at first he thought it was because he saw that his army was strong. Gives birth to timidity. can wait until he enters the palace gate. Felt that the resistance was visibly more than doubled. Although he has not fought for a long time, he is still well-trained. But at this moment, there was an irresistible momentum, and suddenly a terrible thought flashed in his heart. But then he pressed it again, Qian Shizhong shook his head, eliminated the terrible thought, and then urged the soldiers to hurry up and continue the attack. "Wang An, how are you preparing outside?" "Back to Your Majesty, the left and right Jin Wuwei, the three guards of the Qin Xun Ling have all detoured back behind the rebels. Just wait until the time comes to catch them all." "Well, tell Zhao Shujiao that after waiting for an hour, the rebels will attack them after they are actually weakened.

In a house north of the Forbidden City. A dozen or so people were whispering something in a room where they couldn't see their fingers. One of them said, "The fat man has already led people to attack the palace, and I don't know if he will succeed." Why don't you support it and make this capital more chaotic." One of the people sitting at the end said, "Hmph, it's stupid, we're just trying to realize it, we're just waiting for a political proposition." Why bear the infamy of the ages, after the dead fat man succeeds, I will give him one, and the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch behind. Then he supported the king of faith to ascend the throne, and the king of faith was much easier to deal with than he is now, and what we said at that time was what it was. In addition, King Naxin has no soldiers in his hands, so he has to rely on us and others to check and balance those Qiu Ba." The person who was just ridiculed by this man was angry at the moment, his hands were trembling, his face was blue, and he was there "you, you". I couldn't speak for a long time. Pap, pap, a burst of applause came, and then a sound of admiration was heard, and the owner of the voice was shrouded in darkness, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he heard his voice gently. I'm afraid that he is also a literary and handsome person. I only heard the man speak, "Okay, it is worthy of being the grandson of Lord Ye in the past, it is really extraordinary to have such knowledge, and it is really terrifying in the future." Li Mo, you have to learn more from the son of man." When Li Mo heard this, his face was innocent. At this time, everyone saluted the middle-aged man and said, "I've seen my lord." "Sit down, colleagues, this person is Mr. Donglin, Gu Xiancheng, this person was raised in the eighth year of Wanli, and then successively served as the official of various ministries, and the descendants have different opinions on it, with mixed praise and criticism, for today's rebellion of King Fu. They have been on the news for a long time. There has been an endless debate within the Donglin Party on this matter, one side believes that Zhu Youxiao should be notified as soon as possible, one side is opposed, and those who support it believe that it should be used to make the emperor realize the importance of himself and others, and the other side thinks that King Fu should be helped. At that time, the king of Xinxin ascended the throne in order to control it, in fact, although the Donglin Party was a little mixed, it did not have the courage to rebel. But after the news that Zhu Youxiao wanted to accept Zhang Zhuohua came out. The Donglin Party can't sit still, His Majesty the Emperor is going to get rid of everyone, the rhythm of going it alone, this is to regain the dignity of the nobles, this is okay, so there is something to do with himself and others. Since the defeat of Yingzong's civil fort, everyone finally drove Xungui home to give birth. It took only a few years to hold power, but you met your great-grandfather Emperor Jiajing and grandfather Emperor Wanli, these two masters who did not play cards according to common sense, were beaten back to their original form. finally waited for the two old men to leave. Wait for your Lao Tzu to ascend the throne, and then regain power. But you're good, I'll just put you in place. You're going to have to unload the grind and kill the furnace and do it yourself. Sure enough, there are no good people in the old Zhu family. When the Donglin Party was lamenting to themselves, they learned that there was a stupid fat man who wanted to change the palace, and immediately felt that the opportunity had come, and then they discussed it again because of the disagreement. In the end, they finally agreed that since the emperor didn't take everyone to play, then change someone who was willing to take everyone to play. Then he sent people to King Fu to give him advice, but although the opinions were unified, some people said that everyone might as well play tactfully, and pushed the king to take the throne. But that's just what a small group of people think. Among them is the leaf picture that was praised by Gu Xiancheng just now. He was the grandson of Ye Xianggao, who was the first assistant at the time. But the Donglin Party also knows that you can't have both fish and bear's paws. I gave up on the wonderful idea of Ye Zitu. So as to fully support King Fu. But they didn't know that this was the beginning of their demise.

At this time, Gu Xiancheng opened his mouth and said: "You are all loyal and upright people of my Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, I would never have done this helpless move, and I would have been the front and back of the Ming Dynasty since the time of the Divine Sect. It can also be regarded as an old minister of the two dynasties, and the saint was deceived by traitorous ministers when he was the god sect. Mineral tax, cloth tax, as well as the opening of sea trade, and the collection of sea wool. made the people of Daming miserable. Finally, the first emperor ascended the throne, and we urged His Majesty to abolish the mining tax. But now that he has been on the throne for less than a year, he has reopened such harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and our persuasion has been fruitless. I had to make this decision, it was a helpless move, saying that Gu Xiancheng actually howled and cried, we are really sorry for the ancestors and ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, we can't advise Your Majesty, so I have to make this decision, and I hope that the emperor will forgive you." It took a while to stop crying, and then one person said, "Adults don't have to be like this, I think we are also thinking about the Daming Jiangshan Society." Presumably, the emperors have spirits in heaven and will not blame us and others. Maybe you will be grateful to us and others for removing the scourge for the Ming Dynasty." Immediately, someone chimed in and said, "Yes, we are loyal, presumably the previous emperors will not blame." Everyone agreed, this is just like the US imperialists are fighting al-Qaeda now, and they want to say that the other party is the number one bad guy in heaven and on earth. In this way, it is good to be famous. to deceive the world. Cover up your evil deeds. It's really a world of things.

At this time, in the palace, the battle became more and more anxious, and Qian Shizhong organized several attacks in vain. At one point, he almost broke through the defense line of Yulin Guard. But he was driven back by life. Now Qian Shizhong wondered if Yu Linwei was teasing himself. Why do you give yourself hope and let yourself down every time? And that damn fat man, who has been urging himself to step up his attack, is he a pig brain, and he can't see that he is at a disadvantage. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder if he was on the wrong boat and pressed the wrong treasure. In fact, it's not just him, even the Donglin Party has taken this wrong step. It can only be said that it is difficult for people to keep a clear head in the face of huge interests. The one who can stay sober must be very people, and obviously he and the Donglin Party are just ordinary people. Mr. Nakayama once said, "The general trend of the world is mighty, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it perish." They clearly don't represent the general trend. However, Zhu Youxiao grasped the general trend, if the Donglin Party was like in history, and slowly tried to do it, maybe it would succeed, after all, it had valuable experience in fighting against imperial power. After all, Zhu came from the school and is definitely not an opponent. But he chose to rebel, so he lost the general momentum. Let's ask the emperor about the orthodoxy of the past two hundred years, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even after the Jiashen national disaster, the death of the monarch's father, and the dust of China, there have been countless people with lofty ideals, one after another, just to revive the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that its impact is profound. How could they be pushed by the corrupt bureaucrats and incompetent vassal kings?

"Rush up, rush up, fame and fortune are just around the corner." Qian Shizhong was already a little crazy at the moment. In front of him was a river of blood and a mountain of corpses. Most of them are front and rear guards. But no matter how much he urged, the soldiers refused to take a step forward. These soldiers have lost confidence in the attack, they have lost their morale, and the art of war is cloudy: they have been weakened again and again, and they have been exhausted. Cao Wenzhao, who was commanding on the other side, obviously knew this well. The rebels had just attacked several times and were defeated again. After repeating this several times, the rebels finally lost confidence. It was when this last straw broke the camel's back that it appeared. "General, general, we are surrounded". Suddenly, Qian Shizhong received such a report. He was a little incredulous, and when he looked at it, he saw that Jin Wuwei left and right, and Qin Xun Ling Sanwei, were hurrying towards him. Seeing this, he felt the world spin for a while. But it's a martial arts background, and there are some strategies. Immediately ordered the whole army to break through and not to stop. Suddenly, a cry for help came, "General, save this king, save this king." Looking back, it was Fu Wang Ben trapped. The soldiers around him asked, "Save it or not, general." Qian Shizhong said, "Save a fart, we can't protect ourselves." How can I have time to care about him. Break out quickly". "It's a general". The soldier replied. Bang, bang, a burst of muskets rang out. But it was the arrival of the Shenji Battalion that stopped the momentum of the rebels' breakthrough. The battlefield is changing in an instant. At this stop, the rebels have been blocked. The left and right Jin Wuwei and the three guards of Qin Xunling have surrounded them. The armies shouted in unison, "Abandon your weapons to avoid death, abandon your weapons to avoid death, abandon your weapons to avoid death, and shout three times in a row." The rebels were at a loss. At this time, Zhu Youxiao came to the city wall and said loudly, "Uncle Wang and Qian Aiqing are here, why rush to go." It's better to stay and wait for the monarch. How about a drink? Your Majesty, hooray, hooray, hooray. All the soldiers shouted to Zhu Youxiao together. At this time, Cao Wenzhao said loudly, "All the monarchs move forward bravely and take down the traitor." He, he, he. Yu Lin Wei and the left and right Jin Wuwei advanced like a wall, and soon the rebels were captured. Qian Shizhong and King Fu were also caught. "Okay, this day is finally dawning, Wang An passed on my will, King Fu and Qian Shizhong pressed people to prison, held a big court meeting the day after tomorrow, and Zhao Luo Sigong will see you tomorrow morning. Okay, let's press it down. I went back and rested."
