Hearing the assassin's relief, Zhao Xingde was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "As long as you let the queen go, the official will speak and count and agree to all your requests." ”

The guards present all secretly said that Zhao Xingde was really an idiot, and they tried their best to kidnap the queen with such a big card in their hands, and how could they be satisfied by you, a little captain, everyone was silent and waited to see Zhao Xingde deflated.

The assassin tilted his head and thought about it, then said, "Well, I want to eat ......," before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, retracted his head behind the queen's back, and said without saying a word, only to see that the queen said unhurriedly: "The assassin wants the emperor to let the eldest princess and the little grandfather go, otherwise he will mourn the lives of his family, this general, please tell the emperor." ”

Zhao Xingde was dumbfounded, in order to catch the eldest princess and Liu Qian, it took a lot of effort to get his old nose up, Qiu Wu put his life in, and Sun Gang was also half dead, not to mention that Liu Ziguang hadn't caught it yet, and he was going to release Zeng Cheng and his son at this moment, not to mention whether the emperor agreed or not, even if he felt that it was impossible to let go of the queen, the knife on the queen's neck was not fake, in case the assassin was unhappy and slaughtered the queen, it was still his own responsibility.

Zhao Xingde didn't dare to call the shots, nor did he dare to refuse on the spot, so he could only shout inwardly: "That assassin, as long as you dare to touch the queen's hair, you will definitely be crushed." After speaking, he rushed to the Qianqing Palace and returned to the emperor.

Zhao Xingde left, and the other guards only dared to surround from afar, but did not dare to step forward, only to see the queen turning her head slightly, as if she was persuading the assassin to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but the voice was too small for everyone to hear.

The queen said: "Liu Xiaomei, what did you want to say just now?" If I don't pinch you, I'm afraid you'll have to ask someone for abalone in the imperial dining room, right? ”

The assassin behind her was Liu Xiaomei, and she was embarrassed to stick out her tongue and deny: "Mi You, even I just want to say what you arranged." ”

The queen snorted: "It's just that after a while, you don't want to speak, everything is up to the mourning family to negotiate with them." ”

Liu Xiaomei nodded and said that he understood, but when he turned his head, he saw a bird falling on the eaves of Qianqing Palace, and his eyes suddenly straightened again, and the queen hurriedly reminded: "What are you thinking about again, raise the knife higher, or it will be seen by the family." ”

Liu Xiaomei sighed, and hurriedly put the knife on the queen's neck on the shelf, and the guards in the distance thought that the queen and the assassin had collapsed, and they couldn't help but exclaim, and they shouted one after another, ordering the assassin not to hurt the queen, and said slowly. Seeing this effect, Liu Xiaomei couldn't help but laugh twice.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhao Xingde's report, his face turned blue for a while, and he looked very angry, needless to say, the assassin was sent by Liu Ziguang, this guy actually dared to kidnap the queen to threaten me, it seems that he is really lawless, and he has already rebelled.

Seeing that the emperor's face was cloudy and uncertain, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly stepped forward to remind: "The emperor's mother is still in the hands of the assassin." ”

Zhu Youxiao said angrily: "Dare to dream with me about conditions!" I want to see how many of them dare to commit murder in the deep palace. ”

Wei Zhongxian has been serving the emperor, knowing that Zhu Youxiao has not been to Kunning Palace for two years, which means that the relationship between the emperor and the queen is not harmonious, and when he heard the emperor say this, he suddenly had a plan in his heart, and said to Zhao Xingde: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days, how can you waste be bad for a while, you can actually let the assassin kidnap the queen mother, why don't you hurry up to rescue the mother and bring the assassin to justice." ”

Zhao Xingde was immediately dumbfounded, what kind of order is this, does the emperor not care about the queen's life? He stayed on the spot and was at a loss, but fortunately Huang Zongxi said beside him: "The emperor Wei Guogong is still in Beijing to monitor the Beiyang Naval Division." ”

One sentence reminded Zhu Youxiao, his wife can not care about the eldest brother, but she can't not care, at present, the north is all dependent on the eldest brother Xu Zengshou to compete with Li Yan's red-shirted army, if you accidentally kill the queen, it is equivalent to releasing a political signal to force Xu Zengshou to cooperate with Liu Ziguang's remnants, this kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable, so he hurriedly said: "And the condition that I promised them is to come and send the eldest princess and my nephew over." ”

What Zhu Youxiao is afraid of is nothing more than Liu Youxiao's natural imperial life, and now that the children are dead, what is there to be afraid of, as for the imperial sister, it is even more worthless, it is better to change back to the queen and preserve the royal system.

When Zeng Cheng and the child's cold corpses were sent to the assassin, Liu Xiaomei's eyes widened, and she just wanted to speak, when she suddenly remembered the queen's request, she quickly stopped her mouth, quietly scratched the queen's waist, and said, "Sister Queen, that sleeping child is not cunning. ”

Although Queen Xu Yuanhui was originally a more reckless girl than Peng Jingwei, after five years of life in the deep palace, she has been honed into a meticulous and patient mature woman, listening to Liu Xiaomei say that it was not cunning, but seeing Zeng Cheng's stupid eyes, she seemed to understand something, and whispered: "Don't make a noise, when that is the cunning, you want to take a sedan chair to send us out of the palace." ”

Liu Xiaomei was clumsy, she couldn't tell the negotiation or handed it over to the queen, she thought carefully and asked for a sedan chair that she commonly used, and used the eunuch sedan chair of Kunning Palace, so as to prevent the guards from doing hands and feet, and the sedan chair was carried to the front of the Qianqing Palace, and three people and a corpse got into the sedan chair, put down the thick sedan curtain, and couldn't see the situation inside the sedan chair from the outside.

After such a fuss, Zhu Youxiao's good mood disappeared all of a sudden, waved his hand to let the guards around the circle retreat, sat on the dragon chair angrily, and said: "The traitor is so rampant, he is deceiving, he is soft-hearted, and he will spread my will, all the rebels will not be left behind, all of them will be killed on the spot, and another person will be sent to raid the Zhenguo Mansion, and not let go of a stitch or a thread, well, this important task will be handed over to Xiao Weizi." ”

Copying the house is a fat difference, not to mention copying Liu Ziguang's house, it is a big fat difference, Wei Zhongxian was surprised after hearing it, and quickly knelt down to receive the order and thanked him.

After a while, at noon, a call came from the other side of the gate, saying that it was a rebellion, and the martial arts students had been killed by the officers and soldiers, and they had retreated in the direction of Zhenjiang. At this point, the rebellion in the capital was basically wiped out, and all Liu Ziguang's forces were cleared.

Put down the phone, Yuan Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief, just now he skillfully used the art of language, said that the rebels were defeated and took Zhenjiang, in fact, this is not the case, but the officers and soldiers can not withstand the attack of the rebels, the corpses killed are all over the field, once let the rebels hit Dong'anmen, and then reinforced tens of thousands of horses, relying on the city wall to hold the rebels, seeing that the battle situation is unfavorable, they calmly retreated, tens of thousands of forbidden troops did not dare to pursue, Yuan Chengzhi ruthlessly sent a supervising team, and it was useless, these Beijing camp forbidden troops are all old fritters who have been professional soldiers for more than ten or twenty years, how can they be at the mercy of his little doll, anyway, you can sell your life in the war, Yuan Chengzhi has no way, and he can't go out in person, so he has to give the emperor a sloppy eye, fortunately, the emperor is also oneHina didn't dig into the meaning of his words.

In the evening, the troops outside the city who were on a mission all returned, and the three brothers of the Huang family said that they had exterminated a large number of rebels, but they accidentally let Liu Ziguang's family slip away by boat, and as for the generals who pursued the rebels in Jiangwutang, they were even more full of firewood, and said that they had killed countless people, and that the enemy was too cunning, and finally slipped away a few. Zhu Youxiao finally came back to his senses, but he now needs to rely on these soldiers, so it is inconvenient to do it, and he has to reward everyone.

In addition to the first few emperors of the Zhu Ming Dynasty, especially in the later period, the emperor was not controlled by the cabinet, and the ministers could not be summoned, and they could be crowned with holy decrees, anyway, it was very dragged, and the same was true of Zhu Youxiao's dynasty, but today's military action changed this pattern, the coup five years ago Zhu Youxiao relied on the brocade guard system of the Donglin Party and Liu Ziguang's red-shirt group mercenaries, in the final analysis, it is not his own lineage, this time it is completely different, the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan is completely loyal to Zhu Youxiao's personal armed forces, and among them, Sun Gang and Qiu Wu, Xu Sanpi is the leading figure in Nanchang and Jinyiwei, mastering them is equivalent to dividing the power of the Donglin system and Liu Ziguang's system, this hand is really smart, the emperor's waist is finally stiffened, and the court can become his hall.

The arrest and search work in the city is still continuing, and Song Yingxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, has been imprisoned, the Royal Academy of Sciences and the Beijing Normal University of Science and Technology, and Liu Ziguang's backbone personnel in many industries in Nanjing have been arrested, and the emperor still wants to secretly arrest Hu Yimin, the treasurer of Rishengchang, who has been very close to Liu Ziguang, but when Jinyiwei passed, the building was empty.

The atmosphere in the capital was tense, and the streets were full of soldiers, and martial law had been imposed on them, and everyone was not allowed to go out, and those who violated the order were beheaded, and the magnates in the capital did not know what had happened.

The queen had returned to the palace half an hour ago, and it was said that the kidnappers were missing, Zhu Youxiao listened to the report, and only pressed it, and didn't even mention it to comfort his queen, he just sat in the Qianqing Palace with great ambition and enjoyed the joy of victory.
