As soon as he saw the white-faced man on a horse, dressed in a military attache unicorn suit, Zhu Youzhen guessed that this person was Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong and the governor of the right capital.

Zhu Youzhen ran first, and laughed first: "Liu Aiqing, you have made me wait for a long time!" ”

As soon as Liu Zeqing saw Zhu Youzhen in a yellow robe, he was also frightened and hurriedly dismounted.

Although he no longer took Emperor Zhu Youzhen seriously in his heart, Liu Zeqing still saluted respectfully:

"Your Majesty, Weichen came to meet him by order, and there are 100,000 troops with him, Your Majesty can rest assured!"

"With Liu Aiqing here, why should I be afraid of thieves!"

As he spoke, Zhu Youzhen personally took Liu Zeqing's hand and walked to the main hall in the backyard:

"I have ordered someone to prepare a table of wine and food for Aiqing, Aiqing has been driving and riding all the way, it is a royal banquet I gave you, and when the banquet is over, our monarchs and ministers will talk about it well!"

Liu Zeqing didn't expect His Majesty to be so courteous to him today, and he personally entertained himself, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he hurriedly followed Zhu Youzhen in.

The 100,000 troops brought by Liu Zeqing were already stationed outside the city.

The five hundred soldiers he carried with him were also personally invited to the front hall by He Xin, the imperial horse supervisor.

Zhou Yuji's First Guards Army and Liu Fangliang's Third Guards Army had begun to slowly move towards Jinan City, while Liu Zeqing's 100,000 troops did not know that they were slowly surrounded.

In order to paralyze the 100,000 army, Zhu Youzhen had ordered Li Banghua, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to appear in Liu Zeqing's camp outside the city with a batch of silver taels, and give money to Liu Zeqing's army in the name of His Majesty's reward.

Liu Zeqing's subordinates naturally couldn't stop His Majesty the Emperor from sending money to the officers and soldiers below, and the officers and soldiers below all paid attention to the silver reward, almost ignoring the surrounding movements.

In the front hall, Liu Zeqing's subordinates, who were responsible for guarding Liu Zeqing's safety, also sat in the front hall and drank under the personal hospitality of He Xin, the imperial horse supervisor.

The dignified imperial horse eunuch is equivalent to the Shangshu of the foreign dynasty, and his position of authority is not insignificant, so when He Xin personally entertained these family members, these family members did not think that there would be problems with the wine they drank.

Even if there are a few vigilant ones, He Xin secretly sends people to closely monitor them, and once there is any movement in His Majesty's place, he doesn't mind personally getting rid of these vigilant family members.

The atmosphere between Zhu Youzhen and Liu Zeqing was very harmonious, because Zhu Youzhen personally persuaded him to drink, and seeing that Emperor Zhu Youzhen drank a cup by himself, Liu Zeqing was also more relieved to drink with Zhu Youzhen.

At this time, Chen Yuanyuan was noticed by Liu Zeqing because he accompanied the attendant to pour wine around Zhu Youzhen, Liu Zeqing has always been lustful, so when he saw Chen Yuanyuan's beauty, he couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, dare to ask who this beauty is?" ”

"It's the celebrity of the capital that I got when I left Beijing, and these days I owe it to her to comfort my heart, otherwise I wouldn't be alive today when I saw the country ruined and my family destroyed."

Zhu Youzhen showed sadness when he said that, he did not tell Chen Yuanyuan's true identity, in order to avoid Liu Zeqing not daring to reveal his true nature because he was afraid of Wu Sangui, but only told Liu Zeqing on the grounds that he was the woman he obtained on the road to try how much Liu Zeqing did not take himself as an emperor in his eyes, and at the same time further paralyzed Liu Zeqing.

Liu Zeqing really stared at Chen Yuanyuan without blinking, not caring at all that this woman was the woman of His Majesty the Emperor, and said:

"Your Majesty's harem has three thousand beauties, I'm afraid I can't look down on such a beauty, why doesn't Your Majesty reward her to this king, this king hasn't tasted a woman for a long time these days."

Liu Zeqing said that, he completely ignored the image in front of Zhu Youzhen and rushed towards Chen Yuanyuan.

Without noticing, thirty-six axemen were already quietly prostrate at the base of the outer wall of the door.

The windows of the north, south, east and west of the main hall have been opened, and seventy-two firearms players have already quietly aimed at Liu Zeqing with their firearms.

Chen Yuanyuan hurriedly flashed to the side.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly pulled Chen Yuanyuan to his side, and took her hand and retreated behind the screen.

Liu Zeqing felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty, what are you doing here, why are you hiding with her!" ”

Zhu Youzhen did not answer him, but glanced at Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Then, Zhu Youzhen simply sat directly behind the screen and asked Chen Yuanyuan to make him a cup of tea.

And here, Li Ruolian has already stopped Liu Zeqing: "The bold Liu Zeqing is deeply favored by the emperor, but he has repeatedly disobeyed the decree, and now he has bad intentions, murdering the monarch's father, his crime should be punished, what is the left and right!" ”

Suddenly, thirty-six sword and axe men appeared in the main hall: "The subordinates are here!" ”

"Your Majesty has an order, hack this thief to death!"

After Li Ruolian said this, he jumped into the air first, flipped the embroidered spring knife in his hand like a snowflake, and suddenly directly accumulated momentum and slashed towards Liu Zeqing's forehead.

Liu Zeqing stumbled back a step, he didn't expect His Majesty to suddenly kill him, he was stunned for a moment.

However, when Li Ruolian's blade approached him, he still instinctively dodged it, but at this time, other knife and axe men had already attacked, and some directly cut off his left arm.

The pain made Liu Zeqing suddenly wake up, and suddenly shouted at Zhu Youzhen: "Zhu Youzhen!" Why are you killing me! ”

Saying that, Liu Zeqing was desperate to rush towards Zhu Youzhen, pulled out the dagger in his sleeve, and had the posture of killing Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen didn't panic at all, still drank his tea, and smiled coldly.

At this time, seventy-two firearms players had already pulled the trigger, and the bullets hit Liu Zeqing intensively like rain.

Even if Liu Zeqing wore soft armor inside, he was beaten to the point that he left dozens of blood holes all over his body.

At the same time, a knife and axe hand suddenly launched an attack and cut off Liu Zeqing's feet, and Liu Zeqing fell directly to the ground, his eyes wide.

Other knife and axe hands also immediately rushed to Liu Zeqing, and they raised their knives and fell with their hands.

With Chen Yuanyuan's exclamation, Liu Zeqing had been chopped into meat paste, but his head was not chopped off, but was cut off by Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Li Ruolian, who was covered in blood, appeared in front of Zhu Youzhen with Liu Zeqing's head: "Your Majesty, the traitor Liu Zeqing has been ambushed!" ”

……

The commander of the Jinyi Guard, who knew that Li Ruolian had just launched a killing operation against Liu Zeqing on the order of Zhu Youzhen, and Liu Zeqing's family on the side of He Xin, the imperial horse supervisor, also noticed that something was wrong, and Yao Wenchang, the leader of them, shouted:

"The military gate is in trouble, you will follow me to rescue the military gate!"

As soon as Yao Wenchang finished shouting, he found that most of the family members behind him had fallen to the ground unconscious.

Before the few who were still awake had time to join him Yao Wenchang, they were surrounded by the officers and soldiers of the Second Guards who suddenly rushed out from all directions.

He Xin, the imperial horse supervisor, also walked out, smiled faintly at Yao Wenchang and the others, and waved his hand directly: "Take it!" ”

Suddenly, dozens of spears stabbed at Yao Wenchang and others, Yao Wenchang and others were stabbed by surprise, and they were all annihilated by the Second Guards Army in an instant.

For most of Liu Zeqing's personal guards who fell to the ground, He Xin, the imperial horse supervisor, also ordered that all these people be killed, and no one was left!

After all, these people are all domestic slaves loyal to Liu Zeqing, and it is impossible to expect these people to serve the imperial court.
