Xing Yuan watched Zhu Ping'an's boat dock at the pier, and landed with a group of subordinates, looking at herself with surprised eyes, but she cried. At this moment, Xing Yuan just wanted to ask Zhu Ping'an loudly, didn't he see the beacon fire on the shore that went straight to the sky? Didn't you see the red robe that you waved violently?

Dozens of small boats docked one after another, and Xing Yuan could even see a little excited smile on the face of the prince who got off the boat together, although his gaze surging at him was full of killing intent, but at this time, Xing Yuan didn't care at all.

"Let's go!" Xing Yuan shouted hoarsely: "There is an ambush on the shore, go back to the boat!" ”

In the hills and woods around the dock, the ambush soldiers no longer hid their tracks, and they began to slowly surround the pier.

Baihu and the other three also suffered some arrow wounds, panting and gathered to Xing Yuan's side, kneeling to report to Zhu Ping'an and others who came slowly: "Dashuai, what this girl said is true, there are indeed ambushes on the shore, it is the son of King Lu, Feng Gonggong and Liu Zeqing, as well as Tong Wenhuan, the number is around 5,000 people, and Shen Qianhu has also been detained by them!" ”

The total number of Shandong troops who went ashore was about 800 people, and they should have already discovered the ambush around them at this time, but like Zhu Ping'an and others, they disembarked in an orderly manner, and the whole team supported Zhu Ping'an, Zhang Dingbian, Cao Bianjiao, Yang Tinglin and others to walk up to the dock trestle.

Xing Yuan felt that the eyes they looked at him were flat and mixed with some surprise, and only Huaide in the crowd threw a smile at him.

Walking closer, Zhu Ping'an asked and saw the arrow wound on Xing Yuan's shoulder and his bloody feet, and the look in his eyes instantly softened. But he didn't seem to think of words that could soothe Xing Yuan, and he was stunned for a while, but he said, "Thank you for your hard work!" ”

But it was these simple four words that made Xing Yuan's tense heart relax all of a sudden, and he couldn't help choking.

Huaide stepped forward and helped Xing Yuan up, even if there was an accompanying medical officer in the army, he came up to help Baihu and the others clean up their wounds. Xing Yuan's wound was personally diagnosed and treated by Huaide.

In a blink of an eye, the crown prince Zhu Cihong had already put on a cold face like ice, and walked forward with Li Shichun, Yao Minggong and others.

Zhu Ping'an turned his head to look at his expression, "His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean by this?" ”

At this time, Zhu Yihai, Feng Da, Liu Zhicun, Tong Wenhuan and others had already led the soldiers and horses to besiege the trestle, and Fang Yuegong and other Shandong officials were also among them.

Zhu Cihong let them get up expressionlessly, and then nodded to an accompanying eunuch beside him.

The eunuch understood, took a few steps forward, held a yellow scroll of holy decrees in both hands, and began to read it aloud on this platform.

And they all fell to their knees and obeyed the commandment.

The decree was issued by Emperor Chongzhen, who had already died, but the content of it surprised almost everyone.

Zhu Ping'an was a descendant of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen granted him permission to enter the clan and instructed the Zongren Mansion to order him to be included in the Zhu royal family. Zhu Ping'an's father, Zhu Yujian, inherited the title of Tang Wang, sealed Fuzhou, and Zhu Ping'an was canonized as the son of Tang Wang, and immediately announced to the world.

Not only Zhu Yihai, Feng Da, Liu Zhicun and others were stunned, but even Zhang Dingbian, Cao Bianjiao, Yang Tinglin, Wang Jinfa and others on Zhu Ping'an's side were also dumbfounded. They didn't even know such a secret, and no one thought that Zhu Ping'an would actually be the identity of the royal family.

Just when everyone was shocked, the eunuch had finished reading. But the huge trestle, plus the surrounding beaches, the crowd in the reef is still silent.

Zhu Cihong suddenly laughed in the silence, and said to Zhu Ping'an with a warm face: "Forget it, this palace still has to call you a royal brother." The first emperor had a lot of feelings for the loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and courage of the Tang Dynasty, and he was always concerned about it. This holy decree was entrusted to the palace by the first emperor. Brother Wang put on his liver and gall, entered the king of Beijing Qin, and moved the world with a pure heart. That's what your father and son deserve. After that, Brother Wang can go to Fuzhou with the King of Tang, and all the assets and assets in Shandong can be sent to Fuzhou, and all the properties are still in the name of Brother Wang. ”

Zhu Yihai, Feng Da and others also showed smiles on their faces, regardless of whether Zhu Ping'an was a royal family or not, in short, it was a two-pronged approach of civil and military means, and driving him out of Shandong was the last word. Therefore, they opened their mouths together to praise the prince for his meritorious deeds, and his house is benevolent, so benevolent, there has never been a cloud in the past.

Zhu Ping'an's face did not change, he bowed slightly at Zhu Cihong, and said directly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, are you planning to drive this official out of Shandong?" ”

The words were very straightforward, which made Zhu Cihong and others a little embarrassed, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhu Ping'an smiled disdainfully, "The background of this official, the first emperor is very clear. I also thank the former emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for their compassion for my father and son. However, the emperor's holy decree did not say that I Zhu Ping'an wanted to leave Shandong, so if the official does not plan to leave Shandong, it should not be considered a disobedience to the decree, right? ”

Zhu Ping'an's words were sonorous and powerful, but they made Zhu Cihong and the others change their faces. Feng Da couldn't wait to jump out, "Zhu Ping'an, what you say is a big rebellion." In the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king kept his fiefdom and was not allowed to interfere in local military affairs. Since you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, of course you should accompany His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty to Fuzhou to become a vassal domain, but why are you greedy for Shandong? ”

Zhu Yihaiyin said predictively: "Count it up, this king is still your clan uncle, do you know that just these words can make your Tang Wangfu suffer the unwarranted disaster of destroying your family and destroying your clan." Zhu Ping'an, you are a smart person, and Shandong is your henchmen and soldiers, but now in this Jiushan Town, you only have hundreds of people in front of you. Can't leave Shandong, hehe, it's not up to you to do the Lord! ”

"What His Royal Highness King Lu means, if this official doesn't agree to leave Shandong, he will be worried about his life right now, right?"

"What do you say?" The three brothers of Liu Zhicun stared at Zhu Ping'an with angry eyes, and slowly pulled out the blades on their waists.

Zhu Ping'an turned a blind eye and couldn't help laughing. "Is that really the case? According to this official, it may not be! ”

The laughter continued, but Tong Wenhuan, who had always been silent in the crowd, suddenly raised the big knife in his hand, a cold light flashed, but Liu Zhicun's head rose to the sky. This time was beyond the expectations of everyone present, Liu Zhicun's head flew into the air, but everyone just looked at the scene in front of them in a daze, and they didn't even let out an exclamation.

Liu Zhizhi and Liu Zhigan, who were stained with blood, watched their brother's head fly into the sky in a daze, and then fell heavily, just at the feet of the crown prince Zhu Cihong. At this time, I realized that something was wrong, and I just wanted to turn around and greet the people. But he was pierced through the body by several blades at the same time, and with a miserable howl, he fell off his horse and died.

There was a huge change on the spot, and Feng Da was already frightened and stunned on the spot. Although Zhu Yihai is scattered, he still maintains a trace of clarity. Hurriedly turned around and ran towards his own escort team, shouting as he ran, "Protect this king!" ”

But after running a few steps, he himself stopped, and the two thousand guards in front of him looked at him quietly, their eyes were all as cold as frost, and there was a commotion in the crowd, and then dozens of heads were thrown, and the bones rolled to Zhu Yihai's feet, Zhu Yihai saw clearly, it was all the big and small leaders of the guards appointed by himself.

"Ahh Zhu Yihai was discouraged and collapsed to the ground all of a sudden.

Tong Wenhuan raised the blood-dripping knife in his hand and roared loudly: "Brother Liu Zhicun took refuge in the thief, intending to murder His Royal Highness the Prince, but he has been killed by us, and the troops obeyed the order and immediately strangled his eagle and dog minions!" ”

At the sound of an order, more than 2,000 people under Tong Wenhuan immediately brandished knives and guns and rushed towards the stunned Liu Zhicun brothers' old department, and the scene was immediately a one-sided massacre.

Liu Zhicun's head rolled to Zhu Cihong's footsteps, Zhu Cihong was so frightened that he immediately collapsed to the ground, and the eunuch and Li Shichun and others beside him hurriedly supported him, but then there was a sword and sword shadow in his eyes, and a bloody rain.

Yao Minggong cursed loudly that Zhu Ping'an was a chaotic minister and thief, but he was instantly drowned out in the sound of fighting.

Zhu Ping'an and his subordinates stood in place like this, not moving at all, quietly watching the original palace guards and Tong Wenhuan's subordinates wantonly slash and kill Liu Zhicun's brothers' subordinates.

After more than half an hour, the ground of the entire pier in Jiushan Town was already bright red, but the sound of fighting gradually stopped.

Yang Tinglin swallowed a mouthful of bitter saliva with difficulty, took two steps forward, and asked in Zhu Ping'an's ear, "Do you have to do it so absolutely?" ”

Zhu Ping'an turned his head and asked rhetorically, "Do you think I caused today's incident?" If there were no such things, we should already be on the way to Jinan at this time? Will so many more people die? ”

Yang Tinglin was speechless for a while, and could only sigh deeply.

The massacre finally stopped, Tong Wenhuan took a group of generals under his command, strode in front of Zhu Ping'an, turned over and bowed down: "The last general Tong Wenhuan came to give the order, and the rebellion has been killed." General Qiu Ze's soldiers and horses have also occupied Jiushan Town, Princess Zhaoren, Shen Qianhu and others are safe and sound, please move into the town! ”

Zhu Ping'an nodded approvingly, "Hard work!" As he spoke, he untied a saber from his waist, "This is a hundred refining Miao knife that I got in Beijing, I see that the general's saber has been curled, so it's better to use this one!" ”

Tong Wenhuan's body trembled, and his hands were raised above his head, "Xie Dashuai!" ”

Zhu Ping'an looked at Zhu Yihai, who was trembling not far away, and couldn't help sighing, "His Royal Highness King Lu, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, last time you colluded with Liu Zeqing, I turned a blind eye to the power of the power, but I couldn't think of you, but I still refused to stop." But after all, everyone is of the same race, and I want to call you Uncle Wang. In this way, the little nephew still has a house in Dengzhou, and in the future, you will move there, so that the little nephew can serve day and night, and serve you for the rest of your life! ”

Zhu Yihai rolled his eyes and fainted. And Feng Da, who had already hid in the crowd behind Zhu Cihong, didn't dare to say a word again.

Zhu Ping'an walked up to the pale Zhu Cihong and gave a deep salute, "His Royal Highness the Prince, let's enter the city!" ”R1152
