Street fighting continues in the city.

In the night when the rain was pouring down, lightning illuminated the Jingshi brightly, and it was dark and silent in an instant.

Shouting and screaming are still in every corner of the capital, the city is full of fire, everywhere is smoke, and the Ming Imperial City is whimpering in the rainy night.

In front of the Chengtian Gate, five thousand armored border troops lined up in the square, the soldiers stared at the vermilion lacquer gate that represented the imperial power, and there was no trace of reverence for the imperial power in their eyes, only a cold and indifferent, as if all the people in this door were just prey under their swords, including the emperor.

Ye Jinquan was on a horse, surrounded by the soldiers in the Chinese army, and he was also staring at the door, but his heart was quite uncalm, and his broad chest rose and fell.

For more than 20 years, he was just a small Ningxia Dusi under the command of the deputy thousand households, offended the commander of the army and abandoned the military and was forced to flee, all the way to kill and hide, and hid in the camp of the Beijing division for thousands of miles, thinking that there was no hope in this life, and since then he has been in abject poverty in the camp for a lifetime, maybe one day he fell on the side of the road like all the starving homeless people and was eaten by wild dogs, and finally turned into a dead body with no place to bury.

Who knows that creation makes people, a down-and-out military general was actually favored by Qin Kan, from the shopkeeper to the servant's courtyard, and then to the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong, the governor of Liaodong, with 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the ambition of life, more than ten years of leading the army to sweep the desert grassland, so that the Tartars are frightened, today at this moment in front of the palace of Chen Bing, after a bloody battle, the little emperor in the palace has become his bag, and it is about to change the world......

Now the horizontal knife is standing in front of the palace gate, victory is within reach, but Ye Jinquan's eyes are slightly red.

He is an executor, but also a witness, and he has spent fourteen years witnessing first-hand how a gentle scholar can overcome obstacles. is like a lone wolf in the jungle fighting for his life again and again in order to survive, his life is hanging by a thread again and again, and he survives the fight again and again...... Tonight, finally ushered in the biggest gamble of my life. God have mercy. This time he won again.

Perhaps, just a little bit away from victory. Only the thickness of a door.

In front of the square array, an armored general hurriedly ran over, clasped his fists at Ye Jinquan and said loudly: "Governor, the soldiers have cleared the remnants of the enemy outside the palace. The only recalcitrant people in the city are this palace, there are 2,000 Tengxiang four guard battalions, more than 3,000 Han generals, eunuchs and eunuchs and palace maids, please give an order from the governor! "

Ye Jinquan came back to his senses, looked at the palace gate with a gaze as cold as iron, and turned his head to look at the end of Jinshui Street. Then he said: "The front array is set up with artillery, and the rear cavalry is prepared, and after breaking the palace gate, you must not kill innocents indiscriminately, and you must not loot property. Do not rape palace maids and concubines, violators will be beheaded immediately! "

Ding Shun, who was standing next to Ye Jinquan's horse, was covered in blood, obviously he had also experienced a fight tonight, and when he heard this, he stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Governor Ye, Grandpa Qin has an order, after the army breaks the palace, capturing the little emperor must be controlled by his subordinates."

Ye Jinquan glanced at him and nodded: "Quasi."

While the two were talking, more than ten Francophone guns had been laid out in the front of the border army, and the cold muzzles were aimed at the closed palace gate, and the soldiers stood beside the artillery with torches in their hands, and the suffocating murderous aura was scattered in the heavy rain.

"Fire!"

Rumble!

Boom!

The gate of Chengtian Palace was bombarded into slag by artillery in the blink of an eye, and a flag officer in the front of the command waved the red flag fiercely, and then there was a rumbling and rapid drum sound in the back, and after a neat and uniform sound of iron armor blades colliding, the Changge brush in the hands of the soldiers of the Liaodong border army was flat at the same time.

"Attack!"

The 5,000 border troops turned into a long arrow that destroyed the world and surged mercilessly towards the palace gate.

…………

…………

The palace is in chaos.

Countless eunuchs and eunuchs and palace maids screamed and ran, the calligraphy, paintings, antiques, gold and silver of each palace and each hall were swept up, and their hearts were lucky, rushing to the various palace gates to flee for their lives and scatter, the remnants of Tengxiang Siwei and the Han general have become the only defense force in the entire palace at the moment, adding up to less than 10,000 people, panic and chaos The lieutenant general does not know the soldiers, the soldiers do not know the generals, the establishment has been completely disrupted, and the sergeants can only rush to the noon gate with weapons in small units to resist the border army entering the palace, and do their last loyalty for the Ming imperial power.

Qianqing Palace.

The huge palace was empty, and the eunuchs and palace maids who served Zhu Houyu were all gone, Zhu Houyu was wearing a cloak at the moment, pacing back and forth on the bright floor with bare feet, and all kinds of musicals, books and broken fine porcelain were scattered on the books on the ground, and the scene seemed to have just been robbed by a ringing horse.

"It's all liars! It's all rebels! I keep saying that I am loyal to the monarch and the community, but I don't see a single person when the disaster comes, why am I wrong? Why should the world abandon me! "

Zhu Houxi roared like a wounded trapped beast looking up to the sky.

There was a panicked footstep in the corridor outside the hall, and a small eunuch knelt outside the threshold of the main hall, and hurriedly said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, the rebels drove straight into the Chengtian Gate after breaking through the Chengtian Gate, and more than 5,000 Teng Xiang Siwei and the Han generals were guarding the noon gate, but they were unable to return to the sky, the battle formation of the Liaodong border army was too powerful, and more than 1,000 cavalry sprinted back and forth to defeat the palace defenders...... Run away."

Zhu Houxi's red eyes stared at the little eunuch viciously: "Escape? Where am I going to flee? The entire Jingshi has fallen into the hands of the two traitors, Qin Kan and Ye Jinquan, where can I flee to? What did I do wrong, why should I be chased by the traitor and flee in panic?"

"Your Majesty, stay in the ...... green mountains"

"Get out! Get out of here! I don't run away, I want to ask Qin Kan, what did I do wrong, why did you treat me like this! "

Outside the Qianqing Palace, the shouting of killing has become more and more clear, and Zhu Houxi and the little eunuch have changed color together.

The little eunuch turned his head and glanced at the Qianqing Palace, which was getting closer and closer. [,！ The soldiers of the border army were so frightened that they hurriedly kowtowed, and cried: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid only want to live in troubled times, and the slave and maid can no longer serve His Majesty, slave and maid, slave and maid ......"

"Get out! Get out! I don't want you kingless, fatherless, disloyal and unrighteous servants to serve, get out! "

The little eunuch kowtowed again, then got up and hurriedly fled away, and the thin and thin figure flashed and disappeared between the palaces and palaces.

Zhu Houxi suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed like a madman, with hysterical crying in his laughter: "Once the son of heaven and a courtier, if I don't get rid of you, how can I take charge of the society?" Qin Kan, what's wrong with me? What could be wrong! "

The chaotic footsteps approached step by step, and a large group of armored soldiers holding weapons instantly gathered at the gate of the Qianqing Palace. Everyone was covered in blood, and everyone's eyes were so cold, like a pack of hungry wolves staring at a fat prey.

Ding Shun stepped into the threshold of the main hall and spat on the ground. Very rudely pulled Zhu Houxi's front placket. He looked up and down closely, then laughed.

"Caught the little emperor. It's time for a big deal! Hurry up and report to Grandpa Qin! "

It was almost early in the morning, the sky was cloudy, and the heavy rain that had been falling all night had finally stopped, but the air in the capital city still spread a strong smell of blood.

The roadside was littered with corpses. The soldiers of the Liaodong border army were silently carrying the bodies of the robes who had died in battle, carrying them one by one onto the carriage, and as soon as the cart was full, they drove the horses and sent them out of the city.

Qin Kan looked at this qiē silently as he walked, his cheeks twitching slightly.

Victory, he finally did the next big thing that shocked the world. After a night of bloody battles, thousands of lives were slaughtered, and this victory was finally won, however. At this moment, why didn't he have the slightest joy that a victor should have?

Xing, the people suffered, died, the people suffered, the soldiers also suffered, the enemy and our armies at the cost of their young lives, satisfied his personal will, should laugh and celebrate, but his mouth was full of bitterness, and there was something called "compassion" in his heart, which was gnawing at his heart.

At this moment, he finally understood Tang Zihe's mood when Bazhou City was broken ten years ago.

I hope that this battle can be exchanged for a hundred years of peace in the world.

Ding Shun ran towards him with a look of ecstasy, ignoring the corpses lying on the side of the road, and laughed: "Grandpa, catch the little emperor, we won!" From today on, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will change his surname to ......"

Qin Kan retracted his messy thoughts, suddenly interrupted his words, and said quietly: "Ding Shun, when and where did I say that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is going to change his surname?"

"Uh......" Ding Shun's smile froze, and he opened his mouth wide in astonishment: "Grandpa, who will be the emperor if you are not the emperor?" The Imperial City of the National Capital has been defeated by you, who is qualified to sit on the dragon chair in the Golden Palace except you?"

"Remember what I said when I decided to go into the army?"

"You said that the Son of Heaven was unkind, so he admonished ......"

"Yes, the soldier's admonition, the 'soldier' is the means, the 'admonition' is the goal, I only want this purpose."

Ding Shun was stunned for a moment, and then hurried: "But ......"

Qin Kan smiled and said, "Do you have to usurp the throne when you start an army?" The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not so easy to be."

Ding Shun was dumbfounded, but he couldn't make a sound.

He is really unpredictable about the mind of a big man, and he probably doesn't have much hope of being a big man in this life.

"Have you cleared the remnants of the enemy?"

"Grandpa, the twelve regiments and battalions outside the city and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry fought fiercely for two hours and finally the whole line was defeated, and the soldiers of the regiment and battalion threw down their weapons and fled to the countryside farm, and the general Song Jie has sent ten thousand cavalry to pursue. After the border army seized the nine gates in the city, the guards such as the twelve guards and the five city soldiers and horses were already disheartened, the resistance was weak, the elite Tengxiang four guards battalion and the border army fought quite fiercely, resistance was seen everywhere in the city, the border army suffered considerable casualties, and later after the death of Miao Kui in the body of the imperial horse supervisor, the four guards of Tengxiang were finally defeated, and they could not be dispersed......"

Qin Kan sighed and said, "Order Song Jie to withdraw the border army, the fleeing enemy army does not have to pursue it anymore, it is inevitable that there will be dry heaven and peace, what about the ministers in the city?"

Ding Shun hesitated for a moment and said, "In order to prevent someone from making trouble, all the ministers in the city were controlled by the Jinyi guards last night and were not allowed to go out."

"Let them all out, the world is the world of civil officials after all, can you stop their mouths and the mouths of the world?"

"Yes."

…………

The inside and outside of the Qianqing Palace were full of ironclad soldiers, holding spears in their hands, staring at the empty hall with fierce eyes.

In the middle of the main hall, Zhu Houxi's face was pale and decadent, and he looked at Qin Kan who was sitting opposite him blankly.

Qin Kan's gaze was very calm, as if he was looking at a stranger who had nothing to do with him, and he had no qualifications to affect his joys and sorrows.

In front of the two of them is a set of delicate tea sets.

This set of tea sets is said to be the old antiques used by Emperor Taizong in the Tang Dynasty, just because Zhu Houzhao does not like the tea ceremony, and drinking tea is only for the purpose of quenching thirst, so this set of tea sets did not come in handy, and has been hidden in the palace treasury without seeing the light of day, or today the border army broke the door and searched out of the treasury.

Red peat roaster. The boiling water was steaming in the pot, Qin Kan held the pot in his hand, personally filled the two small cups in front of him, and held them in front of Zhu Houxi with both hands. This is the tongue of the sparrow before the rain that your imperial brother gave to the minister this year, and today I borrow tea to offer the Buddha. Please be a product."

Zhu Houxi didn't even look at the steaming cup of tea, his immature face was full of determination, and there was a trace of unconcealed. [,！ ] as frightened and frightened.

"Qin Kan, you won......"

"Yes. I won." Qin Kan admitted it very calmly.

Zhu Houxi stared at him resentfully: "After I ascended the throne, I really want to get rid of you, Qin Kan, your authority is too heavy, so heavy that any emperor will feel uneasy, if I don't get rid of you, how can I control the world?" What did I do wrong?"

"A down-and-out talent with no name in Shaoxing Mansion was even removed from the fame of Xiucai for offending the powerful. Originally, I just wanted to spend this life in peace and tranquility, do some business to earn some money, buy a few maids, and marry a virtuous and gentle wife. Having children with her, mediocre and ordinary through this life, for the word 'ordinary', I hide my name everywhere, never do anything in the limelight, and even make money have to be named in the name of others, for fear that the wood is beautiful in the forest, but the creation makes people, I am finally pushed to the forefront again and again by God, God has given me trouble again and again, and also given me opportunities again and again, as if I have been given a mission in the dark, to do something, to change something, I have spent more than ten years doing it, changing ......"

"Daming is sick, very sick, civil officials are greedy for money, military generals are afraid of death, only a group of people who don't know the so-called impassioned words, empty talk about misleading the country, with the word 'morality' on their heads can eat for a lifetime, the people cry and turn a blind eye, since the civil engineering, the people in the Ming Dynasty have frequently rebelled, the Tatar Wara has repeatedly violated the border, the civil officials stand in the Golden Palace, the border town soldiers are defeated and retreated, so the world, so the monarchs, how many years can the Ming Dynasty Zuo?"

"So I want to change it, so I have spent more than ten years of hard work, I have done a lot of things over the years, killed many people, maybe I made mistakes, maybe I missed them, but I have a clear conscience, because the Ming Dynasty is gradually improving in the palm of my hand, the people are rich and clothed, the border towns have not been fighting for a long time, and the neighbors of the Quartet vassal countries are vying for Hajj, I am doing these things one by one, and what I should have done has almost been done, and now there is only one thing left to do......"

Zhu Houxi sneered: "It's just a plot to usurp the throne, right?"

Qin Kan's expression was still calm, not affected by his attitude at all, and said calmly: "Only the officialdom of the court is left, Your Majesty, the minister of the court, it is time to govern, now the people of the Ming Dynasty, the people have no worries about food and clothing, and the business is prosperous, and after the opening of the sea ban, the transportation of all countries and countries is really prosperous, however, the ministers of the court are still those ministers, doing things that harm the country and the people under the guise of morality, shouting the slogan of loyalty to the monarch and the community, accepting bribes in private, looting businessmen and merchants, and ignoring the rise and fall of the country in order to exclude dissidents, After doing a bad deed, he only needs to shout 'petition for the people' It seems that he can erase one of his sins, such a court, such an evil official, even if he creates a prosperous era comparable to the Tang and Song dynasties, but can it last for a few years?"

The hatred in Zhu Houxi's eyes became stronger: "This is your reason for usurping the throne?"

Qin Kan smiled: "I don't usurp the throne."

Zhu Houxi seemed to have been greatly insulted, pointed at the soldiers who were eyeing the soldiers outside the hall, and said angrily: "You can be bullied when I am a child? So many rebels pointed their swords at me, and the mutiny has entered the palace and captured today, what is this not called usurpation?"

Qin Kan looked at him, and said slowly, word by word: "This is called 'military advice', I don't mind if you kill me, I can escape, escape far away, to Japan, to Ryukyu, and from then on to a foreign land, but you shouldn't have ruined the prosperous era of Zhongxing that I and many old ministers spent more than ten years to reverse, you laid out to eliminate the Qin Party, sent Qian Ning to Tianjin to kill, fabricated many charges of capable ministers, and restored the ancestral system of the sea ban...... I don't know how many people in the world have returned to the days of poverty and hardship because of your decision, and since then they have no clothes, no food, and the landless and displaced people are all over the Ming Dynasty again, and the people who can't survive have to frequently raise their banners to rebel, and then they are brutally suppressed by the imperial court, and the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty have come to a dead end in this cycle of repeatedness......"

Qin Kan's gaze was no longer as warm as just now, and became more and more gloomy and cold: "Dealing with me Qin Kan alone, is it necessary for His Majesty to bet on the number of national luck?" Is it necessary to use the livelihood of tens of millions of Lebanese people as a bargaining chip? Today's prosperous scene, I don't know how many people paid how much in exchange, but because of your words and almost collapsed, you are a twelve-year-old child, either innocent and relieved to be your Taiping Emperor, or deep and cold city government scheming cultivation to home. Pretend to be naïve, you don't pretend to be like it, you can't play with others when you play the city, I don't know who you learned some of the so-called imperial mental techniques that are not like the four dislikes, and you think that you can play with the court and the people of the world. If I don't give a soldier today; What will the world be like to you?"

Qin Kan said in the end, his tone became more and more gloomy. The words became more and more unpolite, Zhu Houxi's face was flushed with anger, his eyes were like spitting fire at him, and his thin chest rose and fell rapidly. Apparently furious.

"Qin Kan! Don't say it so high-soundingly, you traitor, usurping is usurping, even if I am already your prisoner, the dignity of the Son of Heaven will not allow you to insult! "

Qin Kan quietly looked at Zhu Houxi's angry appearance, and said slowly: "I have already said that I will not usurp the throne, I have no life to be an emperor in this life."

Zhu Houxi was furious. His eyes widened: "Qin Kan, what do you mean?"

"The king is still the king, the minister is still the minister, you continue to be your emperor. I will continue to be my courtier, but from today onwards, the palace forbidden garrison will be taken over by the Liaodong border army, and the commanders of the guards in all parts of the world and many generals will need the holy decree of His Majesty and the order of the military department to disrupt them and transfer them......"

Zhu Houxi was shocked, and said in a lost voice: "You want to be Cao Cao and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes?" No! I will never say yes! Even if I agree, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree, Qin Kan, you have underestimated the people of the world, and the civil officials of the world, and they will not yield to you at the moment of righteousness! "

Qin Kan sneered: "Give it with virtue, scare it with power, and use it with officials and butcher knives, how can they not give in?" Back then, Wang Zhen was in trouble with the country, and His Majesty could know that the ministers of the court were servant and kneeling? When.[,! In the year of Liu Jin's chaotic government, His Majesty knows how many ministers in the DPRK flattered and invited favors? What's more, I am neither chaotic nor a disaster, I will personally turn the tide and create a prosperous era in the Han and Tang dynasties, the ministers have eyes and ears, everything they see and hear is the prosperity of the world, and the people's minds are determined, what reason do they have to oppose me? Your Majesty, you are too young, the complexity of people's hearts, it is not something that you can figure out at your age, the thing of 'great righteousness' is very repetitive, no matter whether it is good or evil, there are more people who say it is good than those who say it is bad, and it becomes 'great righteousness'."

Zhu Houxi looked at him distractedly, his expression was full of fear, he shook his head and muttered: "No, I must not agree, I must not agree......"

Qin Kan ignored him, picked up a cup of freshly brewed tea, took a shallow sip, and sighed: "Although the tea is good, it's a pity that the person who drinks the tea is wrong...... There are so many vassal kings surnamed Zhu in the world, maybe I can find someone who can accompany me to drink tea......"

Zhu Houxi trembled, extreme fear quickly appeared in his eyes, and his hands and feet suddenly felt cold as falling into an ice cellar.

He understood the meaning of Qin Kan's words, it turned out that he didn't have any bargaining chips at all, at this moment, Jingshi was in the hands of this thief, he could completely change someone to be the emperor, and the emperor who was replaced, with the heart of this thief, how could he be allowed to live?

With a faint sentence, Zhu Houxi heard a faint killing intent from it.

"I, I ......" Zhu Houxi trembled, looking at Qin Kan's gaze was no longer condescending, at this moment he suddenly realized that he was no longer the high-ranking Ninety-Five Supreme, just a thought of the person in front of him could decide his life and death.

Zhu Houxi is afraid, he is just a child, after Xingwangfu was born, he is the son of the world, he is pampered and pitied by thousands of people, he has not suffered the slightest, and he has no courage to see death as home, he is afraid of death, he doesn't want to die.

I wanted to beg for mercy, but Zhu Houxi really couldn't pull his face, he had been the emperor for more than a month, he was used to the scenery from a high place, and he would never learn to look up to others.

Fortunately, Qin Kan is a very empathetic person, and he always can't bear to look at others too embarrassed.

Gently picking up the cup in front of him, Qin Kan held it in front of Zhu Houxi with both hands, and said with a smile: "The tea is still warm, can your majesty drink it?"

"I, I'...... It's drinkable." Zhu Houyu trembled and took the cup, raised his head and drank it all, and then carefully put it back in its place with both hands, thinking of his various grievances and resentments, and then looking at the thief in front of him smiling so brightly and so hateful, Zhu Houxi finally couldn't bear it, his mouth was deflated, and he cried loudly.

Qin Kan smiled and raised his sleeves to gently wipe away the tears on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, from now on, the affairs of the world can be entrusted to the ministers, and the ministers will bear the worries of the world for your Majesty......
