After hearing this, Sun Chuanting did not answer immediately, but looked at Cao Yue with a confident and resolute face for a long time, and finally showed a faint smile: "Boy, you are more ruthless than I thought, you have more courage, and you have to think long-term, but I believe that what you can do can be seen from your performance in Datong and Nanjing during this time." Well, you've won, you've got the support of an old man like me!"

"Old man Sun, you will soon find out that your choice is correct!" Cao Yue patted Sun Chuanting's shoulder with a smile, "Old man Sun, I'm going to tell you a big secret, and when you know this secret, you will reveal the truth!"

"What a secret, tell me quickly!" Sun Chuanting suddenly became interested, grabbed Cao Yue's arm, and asked repeatedly: "Boy, don't hide anything from the old man, tell me, otherwise I won't help you in the future!" Hmph, say it quickly, don't fool the old man!"

"Old man Sun, don't worry, I'll tell you this secret when you die!" Cao Yue smiled mysteriously and slapped Sun Chuanting's hand off his shoulder: "When you are about to breathe, I will tell you this secret, and then you will die without shock!" Haha!"

"Stinky boy, you dare to play the old man!" Sun Chuanting looked extremely angry, his old face couldn't hang up, and he was a little crazy!

"Old man Sun, I didn't get you, I really have a big secret, I'm going to tell you before you breathe, and when you know this secret, you can go to another world without shock!" Cao Yue took two steps back, and then showed a mysterious look, "At that time, you will understand everything that happened to me." Now what you have to do is help me achieve great things. I believe that the two of us will join forces to create a prosperous and powerful Daming. This is my wish, and it is also what your old man Sun wants to do the most, isn't it? Now God has given us the best chance. Let's take control of the situation in the world, we can't give up!"

Listening to Cao Yue's last few words, the distempered look on Sun Chuanting's face disappeared, replaced by a rare solemnity, he stared at Cao Yue for a while, and then lowered his voice and asked solemnly: "Boy, the old man asks you again, are you really ...... Want to be Cao Cao?!"

"It doesn't matter who Cao Cao is, the important thing is to take care of the chaotic situation in the world and save the Ming Dynasty from the dire situation. Rebuild a strong Ming Dynasty and restore peace to the people of the world!" Cao Yue said, staring at Sun Chuanting coldly: "Old man Sun, I thought you were enlightened just now, but it turns out that you are still playing like this." Let me ask you, is it the safety of the Ming Dynasty, the life and death of the people that are important, or is it a false name? Looking at the world today, who do you think can save the world better than me, the Nanjing Admiral with 100,000 elites? ”

Sun Chuanting stared at Cao Yue for a while, and quickly changed his face. put away his solemn expression, laughed twice and said, "Okay, boy, the old man won't ask such boring questions anymore." Listen to you!"

"I said, you will be glad for today's choice in the future!" A victorious smile appeared on the corner of Cao Yue's mouth, and he stretched out his hand towards Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting hesitated for a moment, but finally stretched out his hand. and Cao Yue shook each other. After the two held hands, they looked at each other for a while, and finally laughed.

Cao Yue led the fleet of sailors before arriving at the Yanziji pier. I chatted with Sun Chuanting and Empress Zhou a few times, and had a preliminary plan for the affairs of the court after the new emperor ascended the throne.

On the eighth day of November in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, in a cold wind, the sailor fleet successfully arrived at the Yanziji Wharf.

The officials of the six departments of Nanjing, who received the report from Cao Yue, were led by Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the household department, Zhu Tongyi, the king of An, Xu Hongji, the prince of Wei, Zhao Zhilong, the Bo of Xincheng, and Liu Kongzhao, the secretary of the sincerity of the Bo Liu Kongzhao, to meet each other at the Yanziji Wharf.

It was only after the naval warship arrived at the Yanziji Wharf and the soldiers on the warship landed one after another, that Cao Yue announced to the officials who came to greet him the news that Beijing had fallen, that Emperor Chongzhen had committed suicide and martyrdom, and that the prince had died of his injuries. Although there were already rumors in Nanjing, but there was no definite news, so that the officials in Nanjing were not sure of these news, today I heard Cao Yue announce in public, and it became clear that this was really the case.

Most of the officials had a bad premonition when the warship arrived at the dock, because the warship was hung with white flags, and all the soldiers were wearing filial piety. After Cao Yue announced these news in public, there was a cry on the dock, and all the officials who greeted him knelt down on the warship carrying the body of Emperor Chongzhen. All the soldiers who were on the ship or disembarked also knelt straight down, and the cry shook the sky for a while.

In the midst of the cries and mourning music, the coffin carrying the remains of Emperor Chongzhen and the crown prince Zhu Cizhao slowly descended from the gangway under the escort of several salute soldiers. Following the coffin were Queen Zhou and King Zhu Cijiong, Princess Zhaoren, and other members of the royal family and palace who were fortunate enough to be rescued.

After the coffins of Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Cizhao were carried off the warship, they were solemnly placed in front of the hundred officials, and then Empress Zhou and Zhu Cijiong walked in front of the hundred officials, and wept silently and told the hundred officials who came to greet them in public. This was done by Cao Yue to Empress Zhou and Zhu Cijiong, he knew that the officials in Nanjing must have doubts about the death of Emperor Chongzhen and the crown prince Zhu Cizhao, and even doubted that he would let the officials clear their doubts as soon as possible. And the most authoritative is the personal narration of Empress Zhou and other members of the royal family.

Empress Zhou tearfully told the story of how Emperor Chongzhen was deceived by Zhou Tingru and others, and finally missed the opportunity to recruit the army of King Qin to defend Beijing. At the end, Empress Zhou took out the blood book written by Emperor Chongzhen on his deathbed from her arms, showed it in front of the ministers, and roared angrily: "This is the last pen of the Long Live Lord, he never forgot to protect the people before he was martyred, and hoped that the rogues would not hurt the innocent people." The mourning family hopes that the officials in Nanjing, the remnants of the Ming Dynasty and the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty, must avenge the Long Live Lord, pacify the Liukou, slaughter all the slaves, destroy all the enemies that destroyed my Ming Dynasty, and restore the rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty. I didn't see the recovery of the Daming River and Mountain, and the mourning family didn't dare to die!"

Saying that, in everyone's surprise, Queen Zhou knelt down in front of the hundred officials, "The mourning family begs you, unite as one, fight against foreign enemies, and avenge the long live lord, the mourning family begs you here!" (To be continued.) )
