Rumble!
A projectile smashed into the city, and the projectile fell on the bodies of several Ming soldiers with huge kinetic energy, and suddenly the flesh and blood were blurred, and the people were like mud. The blood-red color stung the eyes, and the soldiers who saw this scene were all panicked, roared, and scattered in all directions......
"Cheng Guogong, after looking at the situation outside, the army of the Ming Dynasty really can't resist. A few brothers also think that your mention is very reasonable, and you can sacrifice the crown prince to King Chuang, but we don't want to do anything for King Chuang, we just want to avoid the war in the south. ”
"Hey, you're a young hero, it's a pity that you can't show your talents, the old man will explain it to King Chuang for you. I want to go to my subordinates now and contact King Chuang, this great achievement of dedicating the city, I can't let others rob it! Zhu Chunchen said with a smile.
If you say surrender, you surrender, there is no burden at all, it seems that other scum is polite, it is simply unpopular!
Gu Zhenhua said: "Grandpa Guo is in a hurry to be a courtier of Dashun, and he doesn't stop him, but he just asks for something." Since our brothers want to go to Jiangnan, we need to have some capital to settle down, I wonder if you are willing to help? ”
"Huh?" Zhu Chunchen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "No problem, the old man is willing to give Mr. Gu 30,000, ah, no, it's 100,000 taels, what do you think?" ”
"Hahaha!" Gu Zhenhua laughed loudly: "I'm afraid 100,000 is only enough to buy one leg of Guogong, do you want me to help you cut it off?" ”
"You!" Zhu Chunchen was shocked and frightened, but he didn't dare to refute Gu Zhenhua, so he could only pretend to be a bear: "The old man's property is not around, so he really can't take it out." ”
"It doesn't matter if you don't have money, doesn't Guogong have land, I heard that you and the Jin merchants exchanged one million acres of fertile land, and it just so happened that our brothers went to Jiangnan and became a big landlord. A million acres! How many lifetimes can I eat, and my children and grandchildren will not worry! ”
"Boy, don't deceive people too much!"
Land is the capital of a big family, where is Zhu Chunchen willing to let it go.
Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "Grandpa Guo, I also know that good money is hard to give up." Otherwise, I will kill you, and any credit will be mine, and Li Zicheng will give me as much land as he wants, even if it is as much as it is, I will not choose. ”
Gu Zhenhua pulled out a dagger from his boots as he spoke, Zhu Chunchen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Gu, isn't the old man's promise unsuccessful!" ”
While speaking, Zhu Chunchen took out a land deed from his arms, a full million acres of Jiangnan paddy fields, a land of ointment, and gave it to Gu Zhenhua, and Zhu Chunchen was really distressed. But after thinking about it, if he took refuge in Li Zicheng and had power, he would be able to get it back sooner or later, so he could only endure the pain and hand over the title deed to Gu Zhenhua.
Gu Zhenhua proudly held it in his arms and said with a smile: "Guogong, without further ado, you should hurry up and contact King Chuang!" ”
Zhu Chunchen stood up, took a step out, and paused again: "Mr. Gu, are you relieved that I will go like this?" ”
"Of course, Guogong will definitely keep his word."
Zhu Chunchen also laughed when he heard it: "Mr. Gu, you just wait for the good news!" ”
After saying the last word, Zhu Chunchen's facial features were a little distorted, and he was very proud in his heart. As long as you go out by yourself, you will gather the Ming army and kill him first, and the land will still be your own!
Striding out of the house, Zhu Chunchen was like a bird out of the cage, there was a team of soldiers waiting outside, he suddenly said arrogantly: "The Ming army listened to the order, and immediately killed the thugs in the house, as well as these bastards who betrayed their masters, thousands of knives, not a single one left!" ”
Zhu Chunchen said, and with a wave of his hand, Xue Biao and the others were all included, and the death sentence was immediately announced. But before he could finish his joy, he heard a sinister laughter coming over.
"Good Chengguo Gong, our family knows what it means to reverse black and white, do you still have the face to say that others betrayed their masters? Long live, have you forgotten all the entrustment? ”
This voice scared Zhu Chunchen so much that he almost fell to the ground. I saw an old eunuch walking over with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in his arms, followed by several palace guards, all holding swords, gritting their teeth, and glaring angrily!
The old eunuch Zhu Chunchen who spoke was no stranger, it was the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Eunuch Kou Gui. In the inner court of the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial Horse Supervisor was the second most powerful department after the Celebrant Supervisor, who was initially only responsible for raising horses for the Son of Heaven, and later derived military power, mastering the four guards of Tengxiang and serving as the duties of the palace guard.
Chongzhen is not stupid, King Chuang hit the capital, and he couldn't run anyway, so his hopes were pinned on the prince. He asked Kou Gui to protect the crown prince, and handed over dozens of the most elite people of the Four Guards to Kou Gui, so that they could choose the opportunity to escape from the capital.
When Zhu Chunchen mentioned to Gu Zhenhua that he wanted to hand over the crown prince to Li Zicheng in exchange for glory and wealth, Gu Zhenhua became vigilant. Not to mention that he doesn't want to mess with Li Zicheng, and even if he takes refuge in Li Zicheng, he won't end well with Zhu Chunchen.
If Li Zicheng killed Zhu Chunchen according to the historical situation, he would also be unlucky. If he doesn't kill him and reuse him, then he won't have a good life, he doesn't believe that Zhu Chunchen can forget the hatred of hijacking!
After thinking about it, Gu Zhenhua found the best way, when he went out, he found the old eunuch Kou Gui, and told him all about Zhu Chunchen's preparation to betray the prince.
This can frighten the old eunuch, long live entrusting the prince to Zhu Chunchen, if this guy is a white-eyed wolf, wouldn't the prince be dangerous!
The old eunuch hurriedly sent the guard Xie Bin to follow Gu Zhenhua, wanting to hear what Zhu Chunchen said. The conversation between Gu Zhenhua and Zhu Chunchen was all sued by Xie Bin for Kou Gui. Zhu Chunchen wanted to sentence Gu Zhenhua to death, but he didn't know that someone had already wanted to kill him.
As soon as the old eunuch waved his hand, all these guards loyal to Daming rushed up and surrounded Zhu Chunchen at once.
Zhu Chunchen's back was soaked in an instant, cold sweat flowed out like water, and his face was pale, as if he was dead.
"Father-in-law Kou, don't misunderstand the old man, the old man is just a false and wronged snake with these thugs. They were all sent in by Li Chuang to disrupt the order of the capital, and they also kidnapped the old man, and the old man had to lie to them......"
"Hahaha!" Kou Gui laughed sharply: "Our family knows what it means to refer to a deer as a horse, it's really amazing!" Zhu Chunchen, do you still want face? More than 200 years of Hong En, you have repaid Daming like this, you are simply innocent! ”
The old eunuch said and looked around: "Little ones, hoe for Da Ming and chop up this traitor who has lost his conscience." ”
These people are all people who are desperate for the Ming Court, and after receiving the order, they rushed up and dragged Zhu Chunchen aside, not allowing Zhu Chunchen to distinguish between them, and directly slashed at each other, and after a while, they were chopped into meat puree.
At this time, Gu Zhenhua, who had been in the house, walked out gracefully, he promised He Zhonghou that Zhu Chunchen would not die, and he would not get involved in Zhu Chunchen's family property, and it would not be appropriate to kill people by himself. But now that he died at the hands of Prince Daming, he deserved it!
As soon as Gu Zhenhua walked out, the old eunuch Kou Gui took two steps and bowed to Gu Zhenhua.
"Thank you Mr. Gu, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that the prince would be given to the thief by this white-eyed wolf, and our family will kowtow to you."
Saying that Kou Gui was about to kneel, Gu Zhenhua hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it and said, "Father-in-law, the top priority is how to protect the prince, maybe the thieves have already entered the inner city, you should have an idea." ”
"Idea?" When Kou Gui heard this, his face also changed color, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Gu, don't hide it, our family has been in the palace since childhood, and we have only gone out of the city to do a few errands, and our eyes are black, so I really can't come up with any ideas!" ”
If you can't come up with an idea, then listen to me! Gu Zhenhua thought secretly in his heart.
"Father-in-law, without further ado, I think you should keep the prince out of the city as much as possible, as long as you go to the south, maybe there are loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and the prince will be safe."
"Yes, go to the south, go to Nanjing, there are still six departments there, and there are hundreds of civil and military officials!" Kou Gui muttered to himself. But the old eunuch turned his head and thought about it, and couldn't help but say: "Mr. Gu, I'm afraid I can't even get out of the city now, where can I escape to the south!" ”
"I really want to escape from the capital, and I have made preparations, but the prince is concerned about the safety of the society, and the villain does not dare to guarantee it." Gu Zhenhua said worriedly. Of course, this is a trick that he wants to capture, Gu Zhenhua has long wanted to get the prince into his hands.
Kou Gui was also embarrassed, and at this moment, suddenly there was a loud bang from the city gate, and then dust flew into the sky. I saw soldiers running around, and some people shouted: "Oh no, the city wall has fallen, and Li Zicheng has come in......"
Kou Gui was also frightened at this moment, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Gu, the safety of the prince is entrusted to you, you must help!" ”
As the old eunuch spoke, he held the jade seal and the edict that Chongzhen handed over to Zhu Chunchen in his hand, and he didn't allow Gu Zhenhua to refute it, so he stuffed it directly into his hand.
After this thing was in his hands, Gu Zhenhua's heart was also excited, with this thing, he was the minister of the great name, and he also had the righteous reputation of commanding the world! can participate in the late Ming Dynasty.
"Father-in-law Kou, don't worry, I will do my best, let's go to Chaoyangmen first and get out of the city from there!"
As he spoke, everyone got on their horses, and at this moment, the sound of killing in the direction of the city gate shook the sky, and it turned out that the troops of the king had been killed through the gap, and the generals defending the city had surrendered.
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
……
The shouting of killing was in their ears, and Gu Zhenhua and the others could only desperately urge the war horses and gallop along the street. They had just run for more than ten minutes, when suddenly there was another shout of killing in front of them, and the two groups were fighting desperately, and there were many carriages around.
"Fourth, let's bypass it." Xue Biao couldn't help but say.
Gu Zhenhua was also about to turn the horse's head, but at this moment, he faintly heard someone shouting: "Kill all the thieves, don't let the thieves snatch the arms......
When Gu Zhenhua heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up!
